I am your natural enemy.

Chapter 430: The Dream That Can't Be Returned, Special Potion (5k)

The director was speechless, but although Wen Yan's words were a bit rough, the meaning was right.

"Then tell me, why do they do this?"

"It's not like he's mentally ill, right?"

"Well, if it's a single person and a single case, we can indeed infer that the other party has a problem with their thinking and has come up with some mysterious operations.

The Lieyang Department once solved a case of professional murder. After three years of investigation, they finally tracked down the murderer.

We checked the victim's interpersonal relationships and looked for all those who might have had grudges or emotional disputes with him, but we failed to track down the suspect in any direction.

It wasn't until this professional killed another person and was caught by the store's camera that he was caught.

He committed two murders, but both times he didn't know the victims, had no contact with them, and had no grudges against them.

Just because he was too short and the other person was tall, when he walked towards him and glanced at him, he felt humiliated.

We can never think of such a reason.

But the people involved this time knew how to drag the children or family members of powerful people onto the pirate ship decades ago.

When something happens, they don't even need to do anything. Those powerful people will take the initiative to suppress things, even if not for their children, for their own status or reputation.

At that time, I did not have the voice I have today, and I did not even have the support of the military. I basically lived in seclusion in the mountains and hills.

At that time, we were arguing about the general direction. Fierce arguments would break out in almost every meeting, and even people who were looking in the same direction would have different ideas.

In order for the Lieyang tribe to continue to exist, I had no choice but to give in. Qidong gave in because I persuaded him.

These years have passed, and that group of people back then have either retreated, collapsed, or died. I used to think that it was almost over.

Unexpectedly, it was dug out again this time that the person who really controlled all this behind the scenes is still there.

Maybe the people from that time are still alive and well.

No, they are definitely alive.”

When Wen Yan heard this, he immediately remembered what happened before.

"Gold coin chocolate?"

Wen Yan felt that this operation seemed familiar. Wasn't it what that guy from Nanyang was going to do before?
So, the guy from Nanyang, who tried to win over people and connect with those who controlled the resources, actually didn’t go to their door to win them over directly, but had locals as the middlemen?
Yes, if we use that kind of direct method to win over the grassroots people of the Lieyang Tribe, there will be no problem. We can grasp the other party's weakness, and even if it fails, the other party will most likely not tell anyone.

But when it comes to those who truly control the resources, I’m afraid you can’t be so presumptuous. The most appropriate way is to have a local middleman who can communicate with both parties and is trustworthy.

And the guy from Nanyang before had extremely scarce resources in his hands, and some people didn’t care where the gold coins came from.

“Yes, they definitely have it, so there must be people from that time who are still alive.

This time they should never have summoned the skeleton arch, which caused a resonance at the Decheng Funeral Home.

Now this matter has been listed as the top priority, and all related matters are also in the same sequence.

Things are different now. "

"What do they want?" Wen Yan didn't quite understand. The director called him here, and he could actually guess that the director wanted to tell him something. Similarly, there must be something that he needed to do.

Since the other party is not doing this out of insanity, there must be a purpose, right?
"There is only one possibility left, and that is to deliberately let the Lieyang Tribe see it and let the Lieyang Tribe help them step into the trap.

Since the Lieyang Tribe had seen it, there was no way they could pretend not to know. They had to make bold assumptions and carefully verify the facts in order to figure it out.

Then determine whether there is a threat, how big the threat is, whether the threat can be eliminated, and what the cost is.

What is certain at the moment is that they may not know that the skeleton arch can resonate with the Decheng Funeral Home.

Based on the existing situation, it can be reasonably inferred that this is not the first time they have summoned the skeleton arch.

They must have experimented many times and paid a huge price to know that by summoning that door, they can completely eliminate that person.

But they may not be very familiar with what is behind the door.”

"Is this something I can hear? As I remember, matters at Decheng Funeral Home are top secret, right? Isn't this in line with the procedure?" Wen Yan didn't expect that the director-general would dare to tell him directly.

"You were the one who uncovered the matter of the Ma's Ancestral Hall in the Northeast, as well as the matter of the Ghost God of Wealth. You are also a regular employee of the Decheng Funeral Home, a standard relevant personnel. After the priority is set, you have the authority to know the necessary information related to the incident."

"What's there?"

"We call it the old dream that we can never return to."

When Wen Yan heard the name, she didn't quite understand what it meant, but she just thought that the name must have been given by modern people.

The director general knew that Wen Yan would definitely not understand the name, so he thought about it and said.

"Have you ever heard of the story of a mortar without a cauldron?"

"without……"

"Have you heard about the story of Liu You asking to see his wife?"

"I've heard of this." Wen Yan nodded immediately. He had actually heard this story. When he was learning the art of entering dreams with his grandma a few days ago, he took out his mobile phone and read the relevant information from the Lieyang Tribe when he had nothing to do. He happened to see this story.

It is said that there was a man named Liu Youqiu who was walking home at night one day when he came across a dilapidated temple with collapsed walls along the way.

It was the middle of the night, but the dilapidated temple was brightly lit, with laughter and singing all the time, as if someone was having fun inside.

He leaned in closer to take a look, and saw a group of people inside playing music, dancing, drinking and singing happily.

And his wife was the most excited one in the group, laughing so happily.

When Liu Youqiu saw this, he was furious on the spot and thought, I worked so hard until the middle of the night and just got home in the dark, but you are in this shabby temple, drinking with a bunch of strangers.

He picked up a big rock and smashed it at the table inside.

Then the next moment, the bright lights disappeared into smoke, all the people disappeared, all the things disappeared, and the dilapidated temple was still that dark and dilapidated temple, with nothing in it.

Liu Youqiu was completely confused and didn't know what was going on. When he returned home, he found his wife sleeping soundly at home. When she saw him come back, she heated up food for him and gave him hot water for washing.

Liu Youqiu was full of doubts, wondering whether it was true or false. Then he heard from his wife that she had just had a dream in which she was singing and drinking with a group of people. When they were having a great time, a big rock fell and she woke up. She did not continue the dream when she went back to sleep.

This is a story recorded in ancient books. Wen Yan read it at that time. Some people said that it was the dream of Liu Youqiu's wife that manifested and condensed into reality, while others said that Liu Youqiu entered his wife's dream.

Now that the director told this story, Wen Yan had some rough idea of ​​what that old dream that he could never return to was.

“It’s good that you’ve heard of it. This is probably very similar to the situation in this story.

Maybe this is something that happened back then and someone changed the name and recorded it.

In the past, there was a saying that time flies like an arrow, never stopping day or night, and this has always been a truth that we have recognized.

Later, it was also verified that the speed at which time passes is not constant.

Besides, you have experienced some things before, so you should understand better than others."

"Yeah." Wen Yan nodded. He had experienced the events of player flashback.

“So there were some bigwigs in Shenzhou in the past who believed that time was not just the present.

A certain moment in the past will only remain in the past, not disappear.

Especially some special moments, or moments that contain strong will, will be more...heavy and real in this past.

Things from the past years, frozen at that moment, are called old dreams.

An old dream that can never be returned to. "

The director said this and looked at Wen Yan, waiting for Wen Yan to understand.

Wen Yan was shocked, and the first person he thought of was Wang Jianjun's grandfather, the first generation of witch priests after the revival of spiritual energy. He was a witch priest with incredibly strong talent, but he did not catch up with the good times.

Wang Jianjun's grandfather sealed the mountain ghost, and that seal was the past.

"Director, what happened to the mountain ghost before? Is this what happened?"

"I can't be sure, but it should be. That should be the old dream of the sealer. You have been there."

Wen Yan suddenly understood why he could enter a seal even though it was clearly a seal, and why he could enter the seal from strange places.

Why could someone ask his grandmother to come to him for help, and how did the other party contact his grandmother.

Now he seemed to understand everything. If it was an old dream, then it was normal for someone to contact his grandmother and ask her to ask him for help.

It seemed to make sense that he encountered those weird things when he entered the seal.

Wen Yan understood even better why the director wanted to find him and spent so much time talking to him.

Because he had experienced the events of players' rollbacks, the distortion of time, the jumping waves on the long river of time, and he had personally gone into someone's old dream and solved the mountain ghost that was sealed there.

He was even a formal employee of Decheng Funeral Home, and had seen or flashed into the other side of the world at Decheng Funeral Home.

And he is also directly involved in the current incident.

No one is more suitable to know these things than him. Wen Yan had a hint of surprise on his face. He really didn't know these things before.

The headquarter director smiled and said.

“Everyone may have an old dream that they can never return to.

It’s just a personal dream. That corner may not be dangerous and may even be a good thing.

This was said by the old Heavenly Master. He did not say what it was specifically. He only said that it belonged to him alone and could not be spoken of.

But as time goes by, there are more and more living beings, so there are more and more dreams.

When it accumulates to a certain level, the common dreams become more and more connected.

Another kind of change will occur, a person's old dream is just a corner.

But this corner is not all, there will be other dangers outside this corner.

The danger comes not only from the environment itself, but also from the things that exist in the old dreams.

Some may have been there originally, and some may have escaped there.

Those guys are the most dangerous thing besides the environment itself."

Wen Yan knew as soon as he heard it that the Lieyang Tribe seemed to have done a lot of similar research.

"Has anyone gone in to study it?"

“Only a very small number of people have had the experience of entering an old dream, but the vast majority of people here may only have entered it for a moment.

Maybe it was just a moment of daze, a blink of an eye, or a few seconds.

They themselves may not know this, but they will receive gifts from old dreams that they can never return to.

Some calmed down, some became clear-headed, but this gift did not last long.

And just like a sudden flash of inspiration, people will only focus on this inspiration, fearing that it will run away, and will not pay attention to where the inspiration came from.

Only someone like the old Taoist priest would know clearly at the first time that he had entered his own old dream, and even figured out how to enter his own old dream.

There are related studies in the Lieyang Department, but there is no clear method to enter the old dream.

The old master's experience is not applicable to others.

But this time, the skeleton archway that someone summoned was almost certainly the portal to an old dream from which there was no return.

According to our experience, even if these guys find a way to summon the skeleton arch, they have no way to enter safely and can only use it to silence people.

By the way, lead the Lieyang tribe to tread on the thunder.

Unfortunately, they didn’t know that the old Taoist priest had already been there.

And you, have been there too.

You should be the only one known so far, besides the old Taoist priest, who is absolutely certain to have entered on your own initiative and still came back alive.

For those who don’t even know they have entered, or who have only entered passively for a second or a few seconds, the reference value is not great.

Entering your own old dream is completely different from entering someone else’s old dream or an old dream that you can’t return to.

I'm here to ask you to be safe, in addition to the fact that you are the person involved in the incident."

"Director, I'm timid, please don't scare me."

“You can’t get away. If it involves things that happened decades ago, then it will definitely involve a dispute over the general direction, a different general direction from before.

Some information can be classified as top secret, but there is also some information that is too late to hide.

They may not talk about other cases, but many people know about the case of Shan Gui.

Someone might be eyeing you.

No matter what you do, once a successful case is known to those people, they will never give up.

After all, you are not the old Taoist priest. Even if someone knows about the old Taoist priest’s affairs, they will just pretend not to know.

You are different, you are too young.

It has nothing to do with your ability, it’s just because you are young that some people think you have a chance.”

The director general did not continue to speak. He listed the relevant incident as the top priority this time. In addition to meeting all requirements, one of the additional items was to protect Wen Yan.

As long as Wen Yan is a person related to the incident, he is contributing to these matters.

Then, Wen Yan is under the first priority protection.

Unless someone is desperate and is willing to give up his own status and future, his family's future, and all the people related to him to be implicated, he will destroy Wen Yan at all costs.

Otherwise, at least within the Lieyang tribe, no matter where some people are or what they think, they dare not do anything to Wen Yan.

Some of the people from that time are still alive, and some of their students and old friends are also here.

It is impossible to trample to death all those who stood against the Lieyang Tribe in that incident, including their children and disciples.

It is also impossible to suddenly push someone down when they are not doing anything.

All we can do is to deter, before anything happens, by making the cost so high that the other party cannot bear it.

"What do you want me to do?" Wen Yan thought about it and asked the question directly.

There was no way to hide from it, the headquarters director told him.

Some people have been hiding for decades, and this time they even played an open conspiracy and placed the things in front of the Lieyang Tribe.

It is impossible for the Lieyang Tribe to just ignore everything. The Lieyang Tribe must investigate.

Find out what that skeleton arch is, who made it, how it was made, what the other party wants and what they want to do, we need to know everything.

The private rooms in the detention center are probably all prepared, and we are just waiting to see how someone is caught.

“You don’t have to check it out, just do your job normally and let it go as it should.

Go back and rest for two days. In two days, something new will be delivered to you."

"Can you reveal something in advance?"

“We have already discovered something from the gold coin chocolate samples we made last time.

The original plan was to develop an instrument that could detect people who had eaten the gold coin chocolate.

But later I found that this was too difficult and even the basic materials were not enough.

Later, the people from Yaowang Mountain brought the medicine produced in cooperation with you to the Lieyang Tribe to find someone to cooperate in the experiment.

The people in the research department talked with the people from Yaowang Mountain and changed their thinking.

It was changed to making a potion that, after taking it, would make the person extremely sensitive to people who had eaten the gold coin chocolate.

According to current experimental results, as long as this potion is taken, anyone who has eaten gold coin chocolate within a hundred meters will be able to sense it.

The stronger the body and the stronger the sensitivity, the better the effect will be.

In two days, some stable medicine confirmed by experiments will be sent to you. You can keep it for use.

I don’t ask for anything I can proactively find, I just ask for you to react in advance when someone like this approaches you.”

Wen Yan thought that there were so many talented people in the Lieyang Tribe. He used to think that the Lieyang Tribe wanted those gold coins and chocolates to use them as samples to study something.

Unexpectedly, the first thing that was researched was how to find people who had eaten the gold coin chocolate.

Yes, in the past, someone used gold coins and chocolates as bait, so those who took the bait must have received gold coins and chocolates.

As long as we find out who has eaten it, we can then dig out who has taken the bait before.

After coming out of the headquarters and passing through the underworld, he did not rush home. Instead, he went to the crossroads first to complete today's salvation before returning home.

Looking at the night, Wen Yan stood in the backyard again and continued his routine practice.

The limbs and torso were complete, and now he had to start on the head.

Wearing the gray cloth, Wen Yan practiced for ten minutes and then stopped. His neck was stiff and his head was slightly tilted to one side.

He reached out and touched his neck, his eyelids twitching wildly.

I knew the head would be difficult, but I didn't expect it to be this difficult.

He had just started to move along the neck towards the head, being extremely careful. He hadn't reached the end yet, just the neck, and after only a few minutes, he felt his neck was stiff, as if he had a stiff neck, and he couldn't turn his head to the other side.
