I am your natural enemy.

Chapter 439: Knock twice, lose control (5k)

Wen Yan agreed to the task, and he was going to go anyway.

Because he had a suitable way to return, even though going to Gumeng itself was risky, he wanted to give it a try.

It would be fine if he couldn't see any hope, but now that he has found the direction, if he doesn't take a chance, he feels that he will definitely regret it.

Wen Yan glanced at Er Jin Gong and pondered for a moment.

"Want to make a contribution?"

"It seems that I don't have any chance to make meritorious contributions. I can only be considered lenient in the face of honesty, right?"

“Let’s put it one thing at a time. The crime you committed was not serious. You’ve already been in prison for your previous offenses. The most you can be considered to have been in prison later is something like assisting in transportation.

If you did not participate in the other things those people did, they will not be pinned on you.

If you help and solve other cases, it will be considered a meritorious service.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that you are not a fool. You can figure it out yourself, right? "

He fell silent the second time he entered the palace. Since he came back, he was obviously very tired and sleepy and could hardly hold on, but he still woke up every time after not long of falling asleep.

Because he himself knew that things were far from over.

He had known about the Lieyang Tribe for a long time, and knew that the world was not as simple as it seemed, but this was the first time he had experienced something so dangerous that he had no power to resist.

He knew clearly that this time it was not Wen Yan who fell into that strange and dangerous place, but him.

Wen Yan was just affected.

After he came back, he didn't dare to continue reminiscing or thinking about the past.

But the more you don’t want to recall something, the clearer the memories in your mind will become.

He couldn't help but think about it.

Whenever he was awakened by a nightmare, he would break out in a cold sweat and dare not confirm what the nightmare was. When he looked up and saw the plaster lines on the wall, he would immediately force himself to find something to divert his attention.

Hey, look at this plaster line, it’s real plaster line. Look at the joints, they are really well made.

He himself knew that if he recalled certain things, it might trigger a switch and cause him to fall into it again.

Maybe he had a dream, and whatever he dreamed about could cause him to fall into that strange and dangerous space.

The more I understand this, the more desperate I become.

Looking back, I realized that he was alive today because of good luck, and he had a wife, children and elderly parents who occupied all his thoughts in daily life.

Of course, after being in prison for the second time, I can understand the current situation.

He had no choice. If he wanted to survive and protect his family, he had to try his best to solve these problems.

All he could do was to assist and try to tell Wen Yan all the details he knew.

If Wen Yan wants to go again and reach his target, Gu Meng, he must use the second visit to the palace as a medium.

This is the most suitable option at the moment. The other options involve a high degree of pure gambling.

And he himself should be clear that he is not in jail for the second time and will be fine after that.

This is a matter of core interests and there is no choice.

If he wants to survive, he has to rely on Wen Yan and the Lieyang Tribe to completely solve these problems.

Wen Yan talked to Er Jin Gong and felt relieved after confirming it.

"Go to sleep. You won't disappear suddenly here. Don't worry."

Wen Yan arranged to go back to the palace for a rest. He went to the backyard and quietly checked the information and the real-time updated intelligence.

The road to the White Fox Clan's territory has been cut off by Wen Yan. Unless one is like Wen Yan and can avoid getting lost, there is no way to get in.

At that time, Wen Yan didn't want to kill those white foxes directly, nor did he want them to continue to interfere in the affairs outside. At the same time, he didn't want anyone to take advantage of the opportunity to do something later, so he simply cut off the road to the white fox clan's territory. For the white fox clan, whose strength had plummeted at that time, this did not harm them, but actually preserved their fire and gave them hope of survival.

When Wen Yan did it, he didn't think too much about it, but some people knew the inside story and the complicated entanglements involved, so they thought Wen Yan was just soft-hearted.

At that time, Wen Yan only needed to pat his butt and leave without doing anything. Within three months, the white fox clan would have been destroyed.

Holding the idea of ​​soaring to the sky and summoning things from the wilderness through blood sacrifice is considered an act of treachery by the demon clan.

Although the demons within the demon clan did not take advantage of the situation, the demons and humans involved in the dispute in the hall would definitely not miss the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

The news that someone had gone to the White Fox tribe's territory was discovered by a demon from Gray Fairy's lineage.

As for why someone happened to discover this matter, everyone tacitly agreed not to ask, as long as they confirmed that it was true.

The man was photographed, and there was also a short video that clearly captured the man disappearing at the entrance.

This man's identity was also revealed. To put it nicely, he was an explorer, but to put it bluntly, he was just a ground rat. His most famous achievement was that he was buried underground. He crawled underground for five days and crawled out from a cave dozens of kilometers away.

From the video, we can roughly tell that the guy didn't seem to want to go either. He hesitated there for a long time, and finally made a phone call. Then he tied a special leash around himself and entered the entrance to the White Fox Clan's territory.

And then nothing happened. The people over there just wanted to cause trouble for others and didn't want to get into trouble themselves.

The rope with metal wire broke after entering. It was not cut, but more like it was ground by some huge force.

The people from the Lieyang Tribe checked and found that they were crushed when they crossed the space. Unless the people on the other side had some special trump cards, they were dead.

It is not uncommon for weasels to fight among themselves. They hold grudges regardless of whether they are from the same tribe or not.

Moreover, people think they are of the same kind, but they themselves do not recognize them and think they just look alike. What can outsiders do?

There is nothing much to say about this matter, except that the intensity of the fight this time was a little higher. In just a short while, seven or eight weasel monsters have died.

The Lieyang tribe will definitely send someone to mediate, and the monsters will also definitely send someone who can speak their mind to mediate.

The biggest thing was that a deputy minister of the Lieyang Ministry was attacked, and was attacked by his driver.

At present, the person's life is not in danger. The only reason he was injured is that the driver had been with them for ten years and had worked his way up through the ranks. There was nothing wrong with his background and character, so he was less prepared and got injured unexpectedly.

The driver has been captured alive, and the interrogation has yielded no results so far. The temporary conclusion is that the driver's mind has been affected and distorted, and he does not feel that he is doing anything bad.

Wen Yan was not familiar with the deputy minister, and the matters under the minister's charge had little overlap with his.

Wen Yan has been involved in mostly unconventional cases. When Cai Heizi was around, he only needed to contact Cai Heizi. Whether it was friendly communication or unfriendly communication, it was all Cai Heizi who did it.

There were some things later on, many of which required the director-general to make decisions or give authority personally, so Wen Yan contacted the director-general directly again.

Under normal circumstances, the matters that the deputy minister is in charge of have nothing to do with Wen Yan.

This time a vicious case of this kind has occurred, it is extremely rampant, and the Lieyang Tribe will definitely take strong measures to deal with it.

What's more, what the headquarters director said was right. Although it was an obvious diversion of attention, the Lieyang Tribe could not just ignore it. They had to dig out the people behind it as quickly as possible and strike hard.

Otherwise, the current trend of spiritual energy recovery is getting faster and faster.

Someone dared to attack the Deputy Minister of the Lieyang Department today, setting an extremely bad precedent. Tomorrow someone will dare to do something even more outrageous.

Whether looking at the short term or the long term, this is a problem that must be resolved as quickly as possible.

The reason why this is so bad is not whether the other party succeeded or not, but that someone dared to do so. This is the most troublesome part.

Wen Yan could understand all of this, and the director general and his men must know it too, as well as the people who did this.

Therefore, this matter can be regarded as a diversion of attention.

Wen Yan is not the one who makes decisions, and he cannot make decisions. He does not understand the deep-seated things involved, but he can feel that the director general is very patient and still lets him do Gu Meng's thing.

All Wen Yan can do is to do his own thing well.

He came to the underground beehive, paid homage to several big guys enshrined there, then picked up the little zombie and placed it in front of his aunt's tablet.

"Come on, be good, kowtow twice first, then talk to the elders."

The little zombie didn't understand, but he kowtowed obediently. Then, with a little confusion, he whimpered for a long time.

The little zombie turned around and looked at Wen Yan with a little confusion.

Wen Yan took her to pay homage to all the big guys enshrined in the underground beehive.

"It won't hurt to pay your respects. The people here are all elders, so there's no need to be so particular."

He actually roughly guessed how the little zombie came, so, letting the little zombie come to pay his respects was just like a younger generation paying respects to an elder. It didn't matter what race or other identity it had.

When she came out, Wen Yan took a picture and developed a photo with a Polaroid camera and took it with her.

The little zombie in the photo showed two little fangs, wore festive clothes, and smiled shyly, yet brightly.

"So lovely."

Hearing Wen Yan's praise, the little zombie buried his head in Wen Yan's chest a little embarrassedly.

After sending the little zombie upstairs, Wen Yan continued to pack up and take all the things he might need.

……

Fuyu Mountain, Zombie Cave, Gan Tang finished reading the last page of a book and slowly closed it.

She was distracted and saw herself sitting in front of the window of her old house, looking out. She could feel the gentle breeze, with the unique warmth of this season, and smell the fragrance of pear blossoms outside the window. The sun was shining, just falling in front of her window, and the warmth made her a little distracted and a little sleepy.

She saw her sister, standing on the porch in the distance, holding a letter in her hand and a smile on her face. Just by seeing her, she could feel the joy.

My sister must have received the letter from her ideal husband. Every time she goes to a place, she writes a letter and attaches a local flower to it. I wonder if the flower will have dried up and withered by the time it gets here?

He is so good at coaxing girls, he must be a dandy boy who has his bed warmed by maids at such a young age!
She was distracted for a moment, and when she looked up at the sky, she saw that the sky was cracked.

In a trance, she saw Wen Yan standing on the ground in the cracked sky, looking at her with his head raised.

His mind flickered, and everything around him turned into a study room deep in the zombie cave.

Gan Tang put the book down and sensed it carefully, but found nothing unusual.

It felt so real, like it was real.

She was silent for a moment, stood up and left the zombie cave.

Gan Tang fell from the sky and landed in the courtyard of the Grand Master's uncle.

"Did something happen to Wen Yan?"

"No, I was at home. Something happened before, but I'm back now."

"I just...seemed to be somewhere else."

"Stop talking, don't say anything casually." The Grand Master Uncle stopped Gan Tang from speaking any further. He knew what was going to happen just by the beginning. But the Grand Master Uncle was still a little puzzled. Could zombies also fall into old dreams?

"I understand." Gan Tang could increasingly understand why her sister asked her to finish reading the book there. The stronger the power, the more serious the consequences would be when making mistakes.

Before the Grand Master Uncle was about to say something else, Gan Tang soared into the sky and disappeared.

After a while, a group of big zombies appeared, with two of them appearing, one in front and one behind, carrying a sarcophagus.

The great-grandmaster uncle took a look at the person in the sarcophagus and was speechless.

What he wanted to say just now was that he couldn't say it because you entered and left naturally, so it shouldn't be a bad thing, so don't say it casually.

Don’t say it, but you can try to do whatever you want.

But it was obvious that Gan Tang was very cautious, fearing that if she intervened personally, it would bring about bad consequences.

So now Gan Tang throws out the person who is best suited to do what.

The great-grandmaster uncle looked at the person in the sarcophagus. This guy couldn't stay awake all the time. Is he really suitable for doing anything?

The point is not this, but is the Lieyang Tribe ready?

The great-grandmaster uncle waved his hand and asked the group of big zombies to stop.

The big zombie who was leading the group looked embarrassed.

"Master, please don't embarrass us rough guys. Our brains are all frozen. This is the young lady's order. Wen Yan has something to do, so we must go."

"I didn't tell you not to go. Wait a moment, I'll make a phone call."

The great uncle Tai Shi had no choice but to take out his phone and call the director general.

"The zombie cave is trying to drive people away, and I can't persuade them..."

"Just come out, as long as you can move around."

"He can move, but sometimes he can and sometimes he can't. There's something wrong with this guy's condition."

"It doesn't matter."

After hanging up the phone, the great uncle Tai Shi also felt something was strange.

He felt it was strange that the Lieyang Tribe had not yet elected a new minister for Nanwu County.

The chief minister of the Lieyang Department knew Cai Heizi's situation very well, but he still wanted Cai Heizi to leave.

No matter what the Lieyang Tribe thinks, from the perspective of others, there is a non-living person who can hold an important leadership position in the Lieyang Tribe.

It's the first time in the world, it's a precedent.

The Lieyang Tribe dared to do this?
The great-grandmaster uncle didn't know that so many things had happened today, but the Lieyang tribe felt that it was okay, and so was it for him.

He also hopes to have more reliable people to help.

Cai Heizi, this bastard, although there are many times when I want to beat him up, but when he is doing serious work and on our side, he is indeed very reliable.

Seeing the great-grandmaster nod, a big zombie picked up the coffin lid with one hand, closed the stone coffin, and carried the stone coffin away.

……

In the underground fortress, the man with inverted triangle eyes and the man with flowery hair sat opposite each other, and the man with flowery hair let out a long sigh.

“You don’t want to make a bigger mistake just to cover up a mistake.

In order to erase this bigger mistake, an even bigger loophole was created.

Don’t let things become a situation where one wrong move can lead to a complete loss.”

"Don't you understand yet?" The man with inverted triangle eyes frowned, stared at the old man with gray hair, and spoke in a firm tone.

"That Wen Yan is the biggest trouble and the biggest obstacle, don't you see it clearly?

His trouble just doesn't seem that big now.

He is a trouble that is worth paying a huge price to solve.

He can fall into a dream that is not his.

He could even come out from inside.

Don't you know what this means?

Don’t you know that he is the modern Lieyang?
The Lieyang Tribe has gone to great lengths to cover up this news. Don’t say you have lost your memory and don’t know!

He is completely different from the former Lieyang.

We don’t even know what stage his Lieyang has reached, and how he can come back!

All the records, all the existing information, from ancient times to the present, are no longer useful.

You know what this means.

This represents a complete loss of control.

We must, at all costs, get rid of him first."

The gray-haired man looked at the man with inverted triangle eyes with a calm look. After a long time, he slowly spoke.

"Can you still tell the difference between reality and dreams?"

"I don't need to tell the difference." The man with inverted triangle eyes said firmly, without any hesitation.

The gray-haired old man shook his head and clapped his hands gently. The surrounding environment instantly turned into a pavilion halfway up the mountain. They sat opposite each other, drinking tea and chatting.

His inverted triangle eyelids twitched slightly, and he quickly recalled how he got here.

Then, he remembered that he came here after having breakfast, which consisted of millet porridge, side dishes, and sauerkraut buns.

It is indeed what he is used to eating and what he likes to eat.

He recalled again that he had eaten it once on Monday. Normally, he would not eat it again this week, but when he felt it was necessary, he would eat it twice in the same week to break this rule.

He quickly reviewed the information and was basically sure that this was the reality and what happened just now was fake.

But the next moment, the old man with gray hair looked at him quietly.

"You're out of control."

"not at all."

"If you don't care at all and don't need to distinguish, then why are you distinguishing whether it is reality now?"

"It's an instinctive reaction, a habit."

"Have you figured it out?"

“This is reality.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he returned to the underground building he had just been in.

"now what?"

The man with the inverted triangle eyes froze. He almost instinctively recalled, thought, and judged, and then came to the conclusion that this was reality.

The old man with gray hair shook his head and stood up.

"If you're not out of control, you won't be confused. Wait until you're stable, then we can talk about other things."
