I am your natural enemy.

Chapter 485: Let the wind out, another stone sculpture (5k)

John came out of customs in a serious manner and registered his identity with the Lieyang Tribe. When he applied for a card, he was afraid that the Lieyang Tribe would not know that it was him, so he directly used his own identity. He was even worried that the Lieyang Tribe was cooperating with Lao Meng and was just protecting Lao Meng in a roundabout way. He did not check the information Lao Meng received at all and added the keyword "undead".

The Fiery Sun Tribe did not have enough manpower to send someone to keep an eye on a non-mission target, and no one paid any attention to John.

A little bat came to Shenzhou to invest and build a factory to produce cosmetics. During the negotiation, he was also discussing the production of over-the-counter drugs. This was indeed not something that the Lieyang Department should pay too much attention to.

This message was sent directly to Lao Meng's mobile phone.

An hour later, Lao Meng sat in a single room and picked up his mobile phone. This was the time he earned in exchange for identifying things for the Lieyang Tribe for free.

During this time, he can be in a separate visiting room and see who has contacted him and if there are any particularly urgent situations.

He sells and collects things, but it is a job requirement. If he is not in a hurry, he will keep it for now and have a plan in mind. After all, he is waiting in line now.

If it's really an urgent situation... then there's nothing he can do. Being allowed to look at the call records and messages is already the limit. Whether there's anyone in the Lieyang Department willing to do so is another matter, but as the director of the Suppression Detention Center, it's impossible for him to contact the outside world.

Even if Wen Yan wanted to contact Lao Meng, he had to visit him in person in the detention center.

When Wen Yan comes to visit the prison, he does not need to make an appointment long in advance, and then wait for approval, review, signed permission, etc. He can come on the same day with the permission, which is already the treatment of a VIP among VIPs.

Wen Yan completely activated the suppression detention center itself, turning it into a complete body. The difficulty, working hours, degree of danger of work, etc. of all the people under custody would be greatly reduced, which made the director's approval particularly easy, but the necessary procedures still had to be followed.

Lao Meng does not have such treatment. He is allowed to see call records and messages. A big part of the reason for this is because Lao Meng's intelligence channels are rather wild. He really has intelligence that even the Lieyang Tribe cannot obtain.

It was the same this time. Lao Meng saw the message sent by little bat John. The moment he saw the message, Lao Meng knew what the little bat was thinking.

After all, he is a young man and cannot hide his thoughts. Isn't it obvious that he wants to tell the Lieyang Tribe?

A necromancer appeared in Europa? And he hasn't been killed yet?
Lao Meng was a little shocked. Has it already been like this over there?

There are still people who only remember the food and not the beating. It’s only been a few hundred years, and they have forgotten the bloody lesson?
What is this little bat doing? Is it something the Toledo family has in mind? Or is the situation so dire that according to their family tradition, they want to leave a branch to ensure the continuity of the bloodline?
The little bat wrote his thoughts in the text message, it was so straightforward, it was impossible for Old Meng to pretend not to see it.

Lao Meng raised his hand.

"Report to the supervisor, I need to see the chief. I have important intelligence to report!"

A moment later, Lao Meng was taken to the director's office. Lao Meng put his mobile phone on the table and let the director see the text message. Then he introduced who sent the text message.

"It has a logo inside. It's what I agreed with the little bat. It can be sent to me. It uses a domestic mobile phone, so it's easy to verify."

The director looked at the message with a frown on his face. Studying the history of various countries was a compulsory course for him when he was in the Lieyang Tribe.

In a textbook with not much detailed content in total, the fact that something can be recorded on two separate pages indicates that he needs to have a general impression of this thing and a roughly accurate positioning.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your help. The information this time is very valuable. Your time will not be counted for this leak."

"Also, can you help me contact Wen Yan? The thing that this little bat wants to trade is what Wen Yan asked me to find before."

"Wait."

Lao Meng was sent back to the cell. While he still had some free time, he began talking to his neighbors.

The various inmates who were locked up on the same floor with him basically had committed minor crimes, and at least they didn't have any murders on their hands. If they had murders on their hands, they would either be locked up on the lower floors, or not be locked up here at all, as they would have been shot dead on the spot for resisting when they were arrested.

Among these guys there are professionals and inhuman monsters. If they can be reformed, they will be released when their sentences are completed.

Lao Meng just treated it as making friends with potential clients and expanding the intelligence network. He knew very well that these guys might be used someday, and if they sold intelligence, unless the target was a major meritorious person, otherwise, their first choice would not be the Lieyang Tribe.

Taking advantage of the relatively relaxing time now, Lao Meng chatted with these people and cultivated relationships with them first.

If they think there is potential for development with someone, they will give him a blank check and say that they will introduce him to a suitable job if there is one after he is released from prison.

Anyway, I haven't said anything yet. If I can't find one, then there is naturally no suitable job.

When you are out for some free time, you can always chat with them. You might get some small information that you can’t use at the moment.

On the other side, the news was passed back to the Lieyang tribe. Feng Yao passed the news to Wen Yan as soon as he received the news.

The news about the necromancer that the Lieyang Tribe had previously obtained was the clues obtained after Wen Yan and Gao Si investigated.

Feng Yao looked at the current documents and the intention after the inspection, then curled his lips.

There is no need to wait and see. After this young bat landed, their inspection team expressed that Nanwu County was very good and met their expectations in all aspects.

However, the land cost in the central part of Nanwu County was a bit high, and after investigating the eastern part, they felt it was not very suitable, so they finally chose the western part of Nanwu County.

This little bat really doesn't want to act, it's so honest and scary.

Finally, he came to Shenzhou to invest and find Lao Meng to do business. He also brought a statue with him, saying that it was what Lao Meng wanted. Feng Yao knew that the stone sculpture that Lao Meng wanted was most likely what Wen Yan wanted.

Feng Yao actually didn’t quite understand. Why would a dark creature get close to Wen Yan? He was almost burned to death before. Is he addicted to being burned?

Or did this little bat really dare to get close to them? Even if Wen Yan's neighbors didn't do anything intentional, it was not something a little bat could get close to.

If you’re not careful, you might be killed instantly by someone before you even get close.

If Pei Tugou hangs me on the street lamp, it will be useless to complain to anyone.

Although I thought so in my mind, I still had to notify her and let Wen Yan choose what to do.

As long as there is no harm, Wen Yan can do whatever she wants.

Anyway, if there is no grudge, it is not a big deal to maintain some normal trade with a vampire. Forget about those vampires who love to hold parties and suck blood from young girls after having fun. People in Shenzhou still have some respect for their reputation.

Wen Yan was staying at home, still adapting to the new situation. For this reason, he even took off the title of the natural enemy of players. The intelligence of the warhorse was not very high and it was very simple.

The result is that Wen Yan's endurance has now increased. After his endurance has increased, a byproduct is that the power in his body can operate on its own. Although it is far inferior to practicing on his own, it is better in that it is long-lasting.

In addition to practicing, he was in the underground beehive, giving suggestions to Gui Hai Yidong.

Once this guy has a target, his construction efficiency is terrifyingly high, even more powerful than a tunnel boring machine.

It hasn't been long since then, and this guy has already dug an underground passage with an excited look on his face and red eyes. He has even reinforced the foundation of the passage using modular prefabricated parts.

We are currently inside a mountain in the north, preparing to hollow it out.

The hollowed-out mountains are basically filled with soil, which is why it is so important that this soil is not wasted and can be thrown into the experimental fields. The soil is too poor, with few trace elements and extremely low organic matter content, making it unsuitable for planting. However, it is just right for testing the experimental fields.

The warehouse exit area has been renovated and is now waiting for Ji Youli to come and install it.

After staying underground for most of the day, Wen Yan came out and saw the message Feng Yao sent him. He felt that it was time to solve the problem of network construction first. It was simple to pull a fiber optic cable down for the black box, but other base stations and the like would have to be rearranged.

The little bat came, bringing investment and a stone sculpture.

Wen Yan thought about it and remembered that a few months ago, he asked Lao Meng to help him find a stone carving. Did he find a new one?
He didn't want to get involved in these things, nor did he want to have any contact with this little bat. He was not too interested in Europa. What he was interested in now was to build a base on the moon and completely kill the gods that Gauss mentioned.

But, stone carving, what kind of stone carving?
He now has several stone sculptures in his hands, including the beast stone sculpture, the crouching tiger stone sculpture, the sparrow cat stone sculpture, the black mountain stone sculpture, the wild fox stone sculpture...

Among them, the inheritance contained in the sparrow cat stone sculpture was taken away by the sparrow cat, and the others are now collected.

Not all of these stone carvings are inherited stone carvings, each one is slightly different.

Wen Yan called Feng Yao back.

"What's the matter? Do you want me to take over the little bat matter?"

"Then what do you think we should do? We can't release Lao Meng from prison early, right? The little bat was being awkward and sent a message here, but he didn't want to have such direct contact with the Lieyang Tribe.

He knows the information about the Necromancer, and we must know it.

In addition, the place that the little bat wanted to invest was in the western part of Nanwu County.

If you don't nod, who would dare to agree? What if this guy gets killed as soon as he goes over for inspection?

Moreover, the thing he is holding in his hand that he wants to trade with Lao Meng is what you want, right?
If you don’t go, who will go?”

"That makes sense."

"I've sent you the stuff. Just go there when you have time. He's currently investigating in the city next to yours, which is only a hundred kilometers away from you. So far, it seems that he likes that place very much. I guess he only dares to get this close to it.

If you nod, I can let him continue to inspect the next stop.

Besides, wasn’t there a chemical plant that was shut down in Duanzhou before? The local people there are quite willing.

All the supporting facilities are relatively good, and it is indeed the most suitable place for them to build a factory.

They also intend to build a pharmaceutical factory, and that place is more suitable.”

"Okay, I'll go and make a guest appearance at the Investment Promotion Office..." Wen Yan sighed and agreed to the task.

Feng Yao took the initiative to tell him about these things, so how could he not understand the situation.

What it means is, don't take any good things and just put them in your own bowl.

Decheng is developing well now. Regardless of whether it has any pillar industries, it is not short of funds, and it is willing to invest in people's livelihood. Moreover, those who can come here to gild themselves must have been advised by others before coming.

You have to know that Decheng is just a small city. In the past few years, the annual tax revenue was not much. But now there are several years' worth of tax revenue lying in cash on the books, and no one dares to touch it.

No one in the local area dares to spend this money to achieve political achievements for themselves...

In this case, it is not appropriate to continue eating.

The main reason is that from population to local objective conditions, there is no more food to eat.

Wen Yan thought about it and agreed. It would be fine as long as the meat was rotten in the pot.

Anyway, there is already a university town in Decheng, and the Ministry of Aerospace will set up a research unit here in the future. There is really no need to bring everything to our side.

The next day, the little bat's investigation team was arranged to proceed to the next stop, which was Decheng.

Before entering Decheng, the little bat began to sweat. He felt that the sun here seemed a little hot, and his sunscreen could hardly withstand the heat.

Looking far ahead at the city, he felt that the air there seemed to be swaying, just like looking at something above a flame. When he entered the city from the east, he felt his body's instinctive reaction urging him to run quickly.

Decheng faces the river in the south and has a large tract of open space in the north, making it the most suitable place for building a factory. This was also the place where the investigation was conducted.

As they passed through the city, someone explained to John the local environment and stories from the past. John heard that there was a mother dragon who raised five dragon sons, and he felt a little overwhelmed.

All the way north, he saw the special pendant on the street lamp from afar, which reminded him of the great killer he met at that time. He was so murderous that those guys in the court would never be able to catch up with him even if they died.

When they reached the road, John suddenly felt a familiar force and pointed to a teahouse in the distance.

"What is that place?"

“A place for morning tea, a place with Nanwu County’s unique characteristics of eating and drinking tea.”

"Go try it first."

The vehicle stopped under the teahouse and Shishi was called over to help. When she saw John, she immediately understood who the target was.

She stepped forward and told John directly that someone was waiting for him upstairs.

John didn't dare to delay and immediately asked everyone else to have morning tea first, while he followed Shishi upstairs.

When we arrived, Wen Yan was already waiting.

"Please sit down. Now that you are here, eat something first. Do you have any dietary restrictions?"

"..." John was undecided whether to answer honestly. He wanted to say that he didn't eat mice, insects, bird claws, or people from Haixi County. Before coming here, he specifically consulted a big shot on a mysterious forum. It seemed that the local strong men and monsters dared to eat anything, especially bird claws and people from Haixi County.

"You can choose whichever one you like."

John looked at the menu. He didn't recognize many of the words to begin with, let alone the words put together. He took out a pair of translation glasses, put them on, and looked at the menu carefully.

John said after all the dishes were ordered.

"Your Excellency..."

"My name is Wen Yan, don't be so pretentious."

"Mr. Wen..., I came here with sincerity. I want to do business and invest here..."

"Let's talk about the Necromancer first."

John was so nervous that he stuttered a little. He directly talked about the previous encounter with the necromancer, what he saw and heard at that time, and even talked about what his clan leader did in the end after he got the hang of it...

Just as he was speaking, Wen Yan suddenly stretched out a hand and patted John on the shoulder. The yang energy on his body spread, and a layer of flame that ordinary people could not see spread out.

John groaned, gritted his teeth and made no sound, enduring the terrible burning. Everything he saw seemed to turn into flames and burn.

Just when he felt his consciousness was about to fly away, Wen Yan withdrew his hand and gave him some yang energy. The intense burning sensation disappeared instantly, and was replaced by a warm feeling from the inside out.

John's skin was red, his body was steaming, and he looked confused. He didn't resist at all. When he regained consciousness, he saw Wen Yan holding something in his hand.

Wen Yan lowered his head to look at the thing in his hand. It looked like a kind of insect ghost, but it was not a ghost. It was more like something between a ghost and a ghost. It did not have much yin energy, only a trace of deep and unique death energy.

The moment John sat next to him just now, Wen Yan felt that the leather rune given by Gauss had a slight reaction when he was kicked in the arms.

Looking at John again, the risk item was immediately pointed out in the prompt.

"A poor little bat that was once treated as raw livestock and is now treated as fertile farmland."

After a simple and rough try, something did come out.

"Do you recognize this thing?"

"I don't know him, and I've never seen him before..."

"You are treated as a field, and this thing is the seed planted in your body."

John was shocked and quickly stood up to thank him. He didn't doubt that this thing was related to Wen Yan. If Wen Yan wanted to kill him, there was no need to go to such great lengths.

"I've taken the things, you continue."

After John finished talking about the necromancer, he swiftly took out a USB flash drive and placed it on the table, indicating that this was the video he had filmed, an ultra-high-definition lossless copy that had been verified.

"The investment has nothing to do with me. I heard that you are quite interested in Duanzhou."

“It’s really a good fit there in every way.”

"Since it's an investment, you can talk to the people over there yourself. I don't care. Just abide by the law. As for the other matter, Lao Meng is in jail and can't come out now. In addition to the intelligence, I can help him receive anything you want to sell him."

"Please wait."

John made a phone call and asked his men to bring the things from his car.

A moment later, Shishi brought in a very delicate wooden box. After opening it, there was a stone sculpture inside. The stone sculpture was a fish leaping out of the water, but this fish had a pair of wings. The overall lines were beautiful, and it looked to be in very good condition.

"Mr. Wen, this is a flying fish statue that our family bought from a museum in the United Kingdom. It is said that it was lost from Shenzhou hundreds of years ago. Now it has been returned to its original owner. We originally approached Mr. Meng to ask him to donate it to Shenzhou as a gift for our investment, not for a transaction."

If it was a trade with Lao Meng, it would indeed be a trade, but when it came to giving Wen Yan, John had no intention of trading and just gave it away directly.

As soon as they met, Wen Yan helped him pull out something that had grown on his body and saved his life.

Even though he had never seen that thing, he could guess that it must have been secretly planted by that damn necromancer at some point in time.

If it weren't for the Necromancer, it would be even more troublesome...

Wen Yan stared at the stone sculpture, and a prompt appeared in front of him.

"The manta ray is shaped like a carp, sounds like a phoenix, tastes sour and sweet, and eating it makes people crazy."
