East China. At the mouth of the Yangtze River.
One of the largest seaports.

The name translates in two ways -
"Farthest reach of the sea" and "Forward to the sea". Eastern Paris. Queen of the Orient. Asian Prostitute. Established as a village during the Song Dynasty. Shanghai was founded around the city in 1543.
It belonged to the Jiangsu province with the capital in Nanjing.
From 1927 it was a separate district.
Its role in trade began in the 19th century, but it was not until the Nanjing Agreement after the Opium War that it was opened internationally.
It suffered during the Taiping uprising.
In 1854, restrictions on spheres of influence were allowed to be removed.
And in 1863 the city fully returned to China.
After the war with Japan, foreign capital returned again. During WWII the city received refugees from .1949 - communists. Closing it and opening it to foreign capital influenced its development.
Don't thank you for this History lesson. I figured it was essential to get a feel for its atmosphere. Coming here had two purposes. The main one was Tommy. The Google headquarters was in the center. Our arrival went smoothly. The tower seemed to be endless. We went inside. There was a young woman at the reception desk.
"Welcome to Google headquarters.- Said the secretary"-" How can I help you ?"
"We have an appointment with Tommy Harper XI Tung."- I've said.
"Of course .- She responded " - " You are expected in the office at the very top."
A quick ride in a modern elevator ended with a stop at the top. There was a huge office in front of the elevator. When we entered, we were greeted by delighted
Tommy.
" I'm glad you are. - Said Tommy " - "What brings you, friends?"
" Quite a serious offer, Tommy. "- I've said looking at him - "I have agreed with your superiors in advance. If you agree, your position will be waiting for your return. I will propose you a position with General Fisk. You will become a Councilor - IT specialist and Hacker."
" Proposal accepted. -Said happily Tommy - "But first we have to take care of a few urgent matters Here in China."
" It's good." - I've answered - "A trip to Tibet awaits us anyway."
" Okay, but my affairs first. - Said Tommy - "Only in this way will I be able to leave China. It is about Hacker attacks on government and state institutions. For this suspicion of political fraud. There is also the case of the missing $ 30 billion."
"You're having a lot of fun." - I've said teasingly - " I didn't know Google had such classes."
" This type of giant with such huge ranges and database is the perfect partner for every country." - Said Tommy - "We manage to help without getting involved in politics or privacy."
" Okay, you track them, we'll take care of the rest. " - I've answered
This is how I got involved in China's internal problems. Finding the source of the hacker attacks in
China - Hacker Paradise - was not easy.
When we finally turned on hackers to create a fictional candidate for the Minister of Digitization and announced plans to chase anti-hackers, catching the perpetrators turned out to be child's play.
It turned out that they were based in a seedy neighborhood of the city.
The hackers themselves turned out to be a cluster of former foreign spies who wanted to destabilize the whole of China.
We handed them over to the authorities.
The political fraud turned out to be manipulations of the opposing party.
The defendants were clean.
The press and the services simply received manipulated data.
Lost money was found the fastest.
A calculation error transferred it to a private account.
However, due to the lack of regulations allowing for its recovery, there was a problem.
29 billion was recovered, the rest was kept by the citizen.
We decided to rest before traveling to Tibet.
We also received an invitation from the Chinese authorities, and this is only the first councilor.
A visit to the Chinese ruler.
"Hello again, Mr. Tom, "- Said the leader - " I also greet guests from abroad. I am grateful for your support. I have also heard about your goals. Of course, as you probably know, everything is prepared. Young people, I invite you to follow my advisor. I will show you the place where you will choose your prizes. Take them as a token of gratitude. We need to talk in private."
When the door closed and we were left alone, the ruler continued his speech.
"Do not think, my dear, that I have not met you. " - Said the Leader - "We know who and why you are here. China does not forget. Especially people who have a lifelong debt of gratitude, and we have more than one figure in our history. You can feel at home here, and we have made a promise of care. The secret is safe. You will always be able to count on us. I am Xi Chiang Mai. I come from the line of the last emperors. My family is traditionalists. All of this has helped me to gain and keep my authority. When you eat and rest, you will be transported to Tibet, right to the door of the Order. The monks know about your arrival. They are waiting for you. See you soon."
After hearing this monologue, I was led to my chambers.
The ruler's son kept me company.
I have a gift that other beings have a weakness for me.
I knew that this rapprochement was an attempt at a political game.
But I had more important things to worry about.
After saying goodbye, we left the palace.
We traveled a government limousine.
The road to Tibet was quick.
When we got to the gate, the prior was already waiting for us.
The young people were taken to specially prepared rooms.
I went to the official feast at the prior.
A huge hall.
The table was set.
A mass of wise men from the east.
The feast was on the occasion of religious holidays.
The fact that I was invited to it was a kind of greeting.
When I ate, together with the prior we politely apologized to the guests and left the rooms.
We went to the prior's chambers. We sat in his office.
" I am very pleased to see
you again after such a time. " - Said the monk -"
Your faithfulness to us and our
principles is enviable.
Your support and help in
times of greatest need
have not been forgotten.
Your secret is safe.
woke up. You once
mentioned that this
would be a sign, rest,
eat, and when you are ready, go to the temple."
I decided to listen to the voice of reason and take advantage of the hospitality.
Especially that the population and the separation of the monastery suited me very well - Tommy Fisk and Husk. Three councilors. Three friends.
For this a young wolf as a member.
How sweet it looked. Innocent fun ....
I decided not to disturb their idyll.
I entered the temple by myself.
Even though the temples were generally identical - even the prisons were connected - they differed in one basic thing - the Gates of the Gods were ionized.
So you may be surprised that in the area of Poland there was a region of the Greek pantheon.
I couldn't describe it exactly.
It was the gods who used this gate.
Therefore it was open temporarily.
The re-ionization of the temple in Poland was twofold.
It could lead to Slavic or Catholic Gods.
Why not Christian? Reonization requires a strong union of believers with the lady of faith.
Tibet is Buddhism. The founder of this idea was Siddhartha Gautama.
560 - 480 BC. Buddhist nontheism focuses on morality instead of focusing on god.
Harmism, however, weave reincarnations and karma.
Despite all the complexities, he was in accordance with the law of the pantheon.
Whether or not, God.
Contrary to some reports, those who have achieved nirvana can be gods.
The pure land of nirvana is amilabha. It is the religion of the book - tart.
"You are divorcing the sense of faith and religion." - Said the creatue - " Yet you seem to believe in people."
"I forgot all about you." - I've replied.
The last Raksash. One of the twelve demons imprisoned in the temples.
" I know you liberated the young one." -Said the creature - "
I know you won him over. It won't be so easy with me."
" What if he offers you to teach in a monastery?" - I've asked.
"You bluff !"- He screamed
" You know well how much the Order owes me.- I've said- " You know that I can ask for anything."
"What would you get out of it?" - He asked curiously.
" You would start learning.- I've replied -"
As it cleanses your soul, they will release you and you will become another demon by my side."
"I can see what you're playing. " - He said - "You want to cleanse all twelve. Deal. I would love to see your defeat."
The prior quickly agreed, the second demib was done, ten more ...
-" You learn very quickly. "- He said - "You solve problems even faster. Take the gates of Buddhism open. Amilabha welcomes you."
I would never have guessed the demon was the key to the gate.
