I am your natural enemy.

Chapter 479: Visiting the Prison, I Have an Idea (5k)

It was a rare peaceful day and it was snowing in the north. Auspicious snow means a good harvest. Thanks to the blessing of the Luotian Dajiao, there was no unusual trouble in the north after the snow this year.

Snow without wind is the most favorite situation for many people. Southerners who come to the north for the first time are also left with a very good impression of snow. At night, they sit in front of the floor-to-ceiling window wrapped in a quilt, watching the heavy snow slowly falling, and they will not get tired of sitting there for two hours.

Some people in Nanwu County are also taking advantage of the drop in temperature, praying that it can stay that way for a few more days so that the flowers they planted can complete vernalization and bloom in the spring.

Shenzhou is basically stable now. The Lieyang Tribe has been able to free up a little manpower, and some civilians have been invited to the Nanyang Alliance for exchanges.

Of course, saying it is communicating is just a friendly way of saying it, in fact it is to provide guidance. Jiaozhi, as always, copies homework the fastest and most thoroughly, and now they have begun to clean up some inappropriate things and classify them all as evil spirits.

The previous incident in the Nanyang Alliance had such an impact that even if the network cable was unplugged, it would be impossible to completely suppress the spread of the news.

But when millions of ghosts attacked, ordinary people were not hurt at all. Only some ordinary people with weak constitutions caught colds for a few days because of the excessive yin energy.

Now it is impossible for everyone to sit together, and the member states of the Nanyang Alliance should quickly take advantage of public opinion to deal with those guys who need to be dealt with.

As for dealing with those evil things, the common people in the southern part of Shenzhou may have more experience than those in the mountains and five peaks. The Lieyang Tribe has the advantage of intelligence, and complete records are also indispensable.

It just so happened that they also wanted to take advantage of the Luotian Grand Ceremony recently, so they were all very busy.

When everyone is busy, Wen Yan is free and stays at home every day.

Feng Yao has been much more free in the Lieyang Tribe of Nanwu County. There are still cases, important cases as well, but none of them can be solved overnight. After deciding on a strategy, it all depends on how it is executed.

Today he came to the logistics department specifically to meet Ji Youli, who had already completed the second secret test in the Yuzhou Lieyang Tribe.

The result was very strong, and it was almost certain that Ji Youli was the locksmith they had been looking for but had not found.

Previously, he wanted Ji Youli to open the lock of the cage of the strange object and capture the black spider, but in the end it was not used and Wen Yan solved the problem himself.

But Ji Youli came and started working smoothly. If Ji Youli wanted to quit his previous position in the factory, he didn't have to go through the formalities himself, as someone would be there to help him later.

Everything was going smoothly, and Feng Yao was ready to report that he had found a locksmith, but the final procedure, which required Ji Youli to write a questionnaire, was too complicated for Feng Yao to handle.

This questionnaire was recently obtained by the Lieyang Tribe of Nanwu County and the Lieyang Tribe of Nanhai County.

Speaking of which, it is also related to Wen Yan. The Nanyang Alliance has been in chaos recently, and the main territories of its member countries are islands, and the danger in the sea is the greatest.

In recent years, the frequency of various sea beasts appearing in the sea has increased, seriously disrupting maritime trade. Marine insurance has increased several times compared to previous years, and there is still profit because the price of goods can also increase.

A few days ago, late at night, a sea monster appeared and attacked a cargo ship in the center of the South Sea Alliance. Then, before anyone could get a head, it was killed by a group of water ghosts and the Dahlia.

In the end, only some samples were left and given to the Lieyang Tribe of Nanhai County, and the original body of the sea monster was fed to the Dahlia.

Later, people from the Ocean Management Department of the Nanyang capital sought cooperation with the Lieyang Tribe and gave it a rare item as a gift.

It's this strange questionnaire.

The effectiveness of this questionnaire is actually very general. It does not involve overly private matters. People who fill out the questionnaire will only give answers that best suit their own conscience on questions of tendency.

If it was so detailed, this thing would not have been sent as a gift. It must have been secretly kept by the person himself for use as a weapon.

Ji Youli filled out a questionnaire, and the result showed that what he liked most and was best at was making doors and locks, which was purely a personal hobby incidental to his job.

Feng Yao took the questionnaire and based on the experience summarized previously, Ji Youli's occupation should be a doormaker, not a locksmith.

At this point, I was still not very sure, because Ji Youli's level in locks was absolutely based on his professional ability.

Then, Feng Yao asked Ji Youli to continue trying and let him try to make the door.

Various equipment were prepared for him, and he was allowed to choose any materials by himself. No one else interfered with anything else.

Afterwards, Feng Yao came to the logistics site.

Because Ji Youli dismantled the cage that was locked and could not be opened...

He used the materials from the cage to make a new door, still using the original lock.

That would be fine if it were just that. It's not like the rare objects are really indestructible. When doing research in the Lieyang Tribe, many small rare objects of no use were destroyed.

But the point is, when Ji Youli dismantled the strange cage and used it as materials to make a new door, this weird thing still retained its original characteristics without any changes.

This is why Feng Yao came here in person to confirm it.

After verification by experts in the logistics department of Yuzhou Lieyang Department, Feng Yao still felt unsafe, so he called Wen Yan.

"I have something to ask you. Are you free? Come to the Yuzhou Department."

"What's the matter? Is it urgent?"

"It's not particularly urgent, I just want you to go to the detention center."

"Lao Meng?"

"kindness."

"it is good."

Wen Yan had a rare break, so he slumped on the sofa watching a movie, chewing on a piece of Guangming ice brick in his hand. The little zombie leaned on the left and ground his teeth with air-dried meat. The sparrow cat lay on the right and ate freeze-dried meat as if it were small biscuits. The war horse slumped on the ground with paper money in his mouth.

The undead dog lay on the ground, sucking fiercely on a bone that was blessed with yang energy. The local dog that Lao Meng fostered here was holding a big bone and sucking the marrow.

Even the most steady and elegant butler sat aside and picked the peanut kernels. He ate the red skin and gave the peanuts to Chen Qimo.

Dao Ge rarely came into the house. He would curl up on a cat bed, chewing on dried centipedes while watching movies with us.

Wen Yan didn't want to favor one over the other, so he went to the underground beehive to bring Xiao Huo Miao out. Since he was at home anyway, he didn't need to be too cautious and let Xiao Huo Miao participate in family activities.

The only thing missing was Gray Cloth. After hearing about Little Flame's heroic act, Gray Cloth felt guilty. Before Wen Yan said anything, he hid himself away from the spotlight.

Now that Feng Yao received the call and said there was no rush, it was not an urgent matter. She should go to Lao Meng for appraisal again. She should wait until she finishes watching the movie. It’s a rare opportunity to watch TV at home.

After more than an hour, Wen Yan sent Xiao Huo Miao to the underground beehive, and went to Lao Wang to get more than 30 portions of fried chicken to take out, and then prepared to set off.

The reason why I only brought more than 30 servings was simply because if I brought more, Fat Fox Fried Chicken Shop would have no business today.

When they arrived at Lao Zhao’s house, Wen Yan looked back.

"If you hide again, I'll leave and take the dog with me."

As soon as Wen Yan finished speaking, Huibu quietly came out from the bushes, then pulled the local dog and went into Lao Zhao's house together.

Wen Yan left two portions of fried chicken for Lao Zhao and the five brothers before setting off.

More than twenty minutes later, Wen Yan arrived at the logistics department of the Lieyang Tribe and handed the fried chicken to Feng Yao.

"Eat some meat and replenish your Yang Qi. Why are you looking for me?"

Feng Yao naturally took the takeaway fried chicken, took out a box for himself, and handed the rest to the person behind him.

"Wen Yan treated me to this meal, so you can divide it among yourselves."

After distributing them, he took out one and explained the matter while eating.

"Just ask you to take it over first and let Lao Meng identify it."

"Row."

Wen Yan agreed casually without thinking too much. There was nothing unreasonable about a person who made security doors in a security door factory transforming into a professional and becoming a doormaker.

Moreover, this person's information is very transparent and clean. Just looking at the information, he is much more reliable than before Wen Yan entered the sight of the Lieyang Tribe.

Because there is no information about Wen Yan before he became an adult.

Wen Yan saw the metal door, and the moment he touched it, information emerged in his mind.

"Cage."

"The cage was once used to imprison a nine-life cat demon. The remaining eight lives of the cat demon were used up inside it."

Being able to give hints proves that this thing is not simple.

It looked like an ugly metal door with a lot of steel added to it, but just looking at it this way, Wen Yan really couldn't tell that this thing had once been a cage.

After closing the door, Wen Yan took the local dog and asked Feng Yao to issue an official letter. They followed the formal procedures before heading to the detention center.

I finally got the chance to visit the detention center, and it was a business trip for the Lieyang Department, and I have to ask Lao Meng to help with the identification. I can't keep doing it for free without paying, right?

It is indeed against the rules to bring Lao Meng's old friend with you normally, but there should be no problem in bringing him with you now, right?

They arrived at the detention center. The people there had also received the news in advance. Someone came out to take the official letter, confirmed that there was no problem with the seal, looked at the local dog that Wen Yan was carrying, and whispered a reminder.

"This... is best done on a leash."

Wen Yan looked at the local dog, and the dog nodded. Wen Yan waved his hand, and the gray cloth was twisted into a rope and put around the dog's neck.

No one could say anything now. Wen Yan carried the metal door with one hand and entered the detention center. The moment he entered, the local dog seemed to be under great pressure and instantly became listless.

Wen Yan picked up the dog with one hand and strode inside.

After arriving at the meeting place and waiting for a few minutes, Lao Meng appeared.

Having not seen his old friend for a long time, Lao Meng was very surprised and immediately hugged the local dog.

"Thank you so much, this is... very troublesome, right?"

"It's just a matter of following the procedures. As long as I don't cause any trouble, then I won't cause any trouble. We can't let the Lieyang Tribe get it for free all the time, right? How can we do that without giving them some benefits?"

Old Meng held the local dog in his arms, looking at its shiny fur and plump body. He knew that his old friend had recovered from his injuries and was living a good life with Wen Yan.

He also knew that it would be very troublesome to bring an alien in as a prison visitor.

At the very least, someone of high status in the Lieyang Tribe must go in person to negotiate and guarantee. In an independently operated detention center, the director must sign and guarantee in person for this to be possible.

These are all responsibilities and risks that require taking.

Old Meng himself had never expected these things, but he never expected that Wen Yan would directly bring his old friend here this time.

We haven't seen each other for a long time. Although I know the news, it can never compare to meeting in person.

Wen Yan did not disturb the two old friends from reminiscing about the past. After three minutes, he opened the wrapped metal door.

"Come on, this is the main business this time. Let me identify it first so I can report back. It's really hard to find a main business excuse."

Lao Meng took a close look at the ugly-looking metal door that had not been polished or painted. He looked left and right, touched it with his hand, and after examining it for a minute with a frown on his face, he spoke.

"I think I have identified this thing..."

"That's the cage."

"Oh, really, how did you become like this? Uh, just pretend I didn't ask, don't answer."

Old Meng was confused and continued to identify it for another minute.

“The cage before was used to hold a special alien. It must have been very difficult to kill, so it died in the cage.

The material of the cage is very hard, but that's it. It can definitely trap some alien creatures. The most it can do is be more resistant to oxidation and corrosion.

Now it has turned into this horrible shape, it must have become a door."

Having said this, Lao Meng stopped. Wen Yan did not say anything either and continued to wait. He did not think that Lao Meng would say such nonsense.

After waiting for two minutes, Lao Meng continued.

"If I'm not mistaken, after this door is unlocked by normal means, there should be a special space behind the door, or a non-existent space. Entering it will have the same effect as the cage, except that the range should be expanded."

"Is there anything else? Are there any curses or something like that left behind by the aliens that died in there before?"

"Impossible. The cage relies on brute force to kill the aliens. What kind of power would it have left? If there was any, it would have been consumed."

"Okay, I see."

At this point, Wen Yan's thoughts suddenly turned, a flash of inspiration came to his mind, and he sat there thinking about it.

Lao Meng didn't interrupt him and continued to reminisce with his old friend and tell Tu Gou some things.

After waiting for a while, someone came to tell me that the time was up.

Wen Yan then left with the local dog, and Lao Meng was taken away and continued to wait in the cell.

He also watches the news, sometimes helps the Lieyang Tribe identify things, and also asks about what's happening outside. He really doesn't want to go out now, so it's good to stay here, at least it's safe.

Wen Yan sent the dog back and immediately came to the Yuzhou Lieyang tribe and found Feng Yao.

"Where is the doormaker? Is he reliable?"

"Reliable, no problem, good temperament."

"How reliable is it?"

"Hmm?" Feng Yao paused, looked at Wen Yan, his eyes fixed, and immediately became alert: "What are you going to do?"

"I went to Lao Meng to have it checked, and I also checked it myself. There is nothing wrong with it. That ugly metal door still retains its original effect, and even amplifies the original effect.

Therefore, if this person is reliable, then find him a few more jobs and experiment with the strange objects a few more times.

If everything is OK, I will let him try the shelf."

"Hiss..." Feng Yao widened his eyes and took a breath of cold air.

“The size of the shelf is too restrictive. If it can be transformed into a door, a door six meters high and six meters wide, then the biggest factor restricting transportation will disappear.

By then, why would I need to learn modular assembly or how to use equipment for testing? It would be much better if I could just pull a ready-made aircraft over.

You don't know, but the director-general sent me something yesterday and told me to choose between two methods. The fastest and easiest is for me to learn it myself and assemble it directly on the moon.

My God, I don't even want to say that what the director said is a bit unprofessional. Even a complete layman like me knows how unreliable it is.

I haven’t experienced any testing, debugging, or considering errors, and you asked me to assemble it by hand and use it directly. My God, this is overestimating me…”

"Stop talking..." Feng Yao made a bitter face and quickly grabbed Wen Yan.

"Please try it a few more times."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

Feng Yao turned and left, and Wen Yan followed him. Feng Yao sighed and said nothing.

After waiting for a while, he met Ji Youli. Wen Yan saw Ji Youli but didn't see any prompt. It should be the same as the assessment of the Lieyang Tribe. This is just the purest craftsman profession, suitable for logistics, and totally unsuitable as a front-line combatant.

At least when they met, his natural enemy profession judged that he posed no threat at all.

Oh, no, we can’t be so arbitrary. It is also possible that the natural enemy’s profession cannot be determined.

Wen Yan has encountered things that he couldn't judge more than once.

Wen Yan went up to talk to Ji Youli as an expert hired by the Lieyang Department, while Feng Yao had already called the director general.

Of course, I didn’t mention what Wen Yan complained about.

He just talked about the doorsmith recruited by the Lieyang Tribe of Nanwu County, and it seemed that he had already judged what professional abilities this doorsmith had.

Under the premise of not damaging the effects of the magic item, the magic item can be disassembled and the materials can be incorporated into a newly created door, while still maintaining the effects of the magic item and even having the effect of amplifying the range of the effects to a certain extent.

The only current example is to expand the miraculous space inside the cage to the space behind a door.

He told him about Wen Yan's bold proposal to build a six-meter by six-meter gate.

On the other side, the headquarters director was silent.

Wen Yan is a guy who really dares to think and is willing to do so.

Are you really not afraid that if it fails, that magical shelf will be completely ruined?

If it were disabled, Wen Yan would never be able to have fun on the moon again. At least going there once would be very costly, not like now, when it's as easy as strolling in one's own backyard.

But if it is really possible to do this, what if the doormaker can really do it?

That means that what Wen Yan wants can be assembled and debugged directly to ensure that there are no problems, and then pulled directly to the moon.

Even some instruments can be sent to the moon.

The difference between a door and a small window on a shelf is unimaginable when it comes to matters related to the moon.

But failure means that this potential advantage will completely disappear and return to the previous state.

The director's mind raced for a moment, but he gave up considering the pros and cons halfway through.

You can't consider the pros and cons of all things, that's just a strange thing.

More importantly, it was Wen Yan. He thought of Wen Yan running wildly on the back of the moon at that time. A person like him should not be stopped from doing what he wanted to do, and he should not hesitate.

He guessed that Wen Yan must be excitedly imagining what it would be like after success, and he must be prepared to accept failure.

Thinking of this, the chief said.

"Those are things that Wen Yan obtained through his own merits. They are his own personal belongings. The Lieyang Tribe has never asked him to hand them over, nor will they influence his thoughts. How he wants to deal with his personal belongings is entirely up to him."
