I am your natural enemy.

Chapter 509 Unicorn, Modified File (5k)

The New Year is approaching, and Wen Yan is busier than usual.

Prepare New Year's goods, prepare New Year's greetings, prepare food for every day, and set up several portions at the intersection.

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar year, the Lieyang Tribe finally had a new clue. According to credible information that could be found in the Lieyang Tribe of Zhongyuan County, more than sixty people suddenly dreamed of a unicorn.

Of course, it doesn’t look quite like the one Xiao Wu drew. Apart from not having the characteristics of a cow, the strange beast does look very similar to the one Xiao Wu drew if you look at some of its specialized features.

As for why it appeared in Zhongyuan County, at least Wen Yan and the people from the Lieyang tribe thought it was quite reasonable.

Last year, many places in Zhongyuan County did not lift the ban on fireworks and firecrackers. This year is the same, and some places near Laojun Mountain have not lifted the ban.

Similarly, some places near Fuyu Mountain, Longhu Mountain and other places have not lifted the ban this year.

These days, apart from the Lieyang Tribe who may have to work overtime to ensure that this year goes smoothly, everyone in the three mountains and five peaks should also be busy.

Wherever the Nian beast lands, whoever is closest to it will control it as quickly as possible to solve the problem.

Wen Yan encounters a lot of things every day. In fact, all the people who go down the mountains to take on tasks are very busy. There are so many things to do that they can't finish them.

If they were not really short of manpower and too busy to handle the work, the Lieyang Tribe would not have tried every means to find people from various mountains and sects, nor would they have begun to steadily promote the new version of radio gymnastics.

There has always been a concern that after practicing martial arts, the frequency of aggressiveness and fighting will increase, which will inevitably bring negative effects.

But in the current situation, we can only choose the lesser of two evils. If we don't move forward, we will not be able to keep up with the progress of the spiritual energy recovery. If the foundation is not strong enough, anything that happens later will be a big deal.

In this regard, the neighboring island countries, the Nanyang Alliance, Robin, and even some small countries that never make the news, have all been set an example.

However, China, with its large population and many cities with high population density, cannot afford to take the risk and can only make preparations in advance.

On the night of the twenty-ninth day of the lunar year, in a small town in Zhongyuan County, a bull-headed man wearing glasses and carrying chains on his back was walking on the street.

After much verification, information collection, and even calculations, the strange beast that many people dreamed of last night should have reached the critical point of its arrival.

There is a high probability that it will land in the small town at your feet.

Of course, there is more than one predicted target. There are more than 30 cities with a high possibility, and one third of them are in Zhongyuan County.

Many people will work overtime tonight, and the Lieyang Department has even made it clear that everyone has to work on New Year's Eve. Only on New Year's Day will some people be allowed to have a day off, and the rest will take turns to rest.

The time gradually came to 11 o'clock in the evening. It was not yet New Year's Eve, and it was winter at this time of year. There were no people moving around in the small town. Everyone had gone home and stayed at home.

Who has nothing to do? It's New Year's Day and it's so cold, but I'm going out for a walk in the middle of the night.

The same was true of the government office building in the small town. Except for an old man without children in the gatehouse who was watching TV in a warm room, there was no light on in any room in the building.

Just after 11 o'clock, outside the office building, a strange beast shaped like a lion with a single horn and a head larger than its body seemed to walk out of the void and land directly on the ground.

The strange beast shook its head like a southern lion dance, with light and agile steps. After it appeared, it leaped lightly and appeared on the roof, just in the blind spot of the surveillance camera at the door.

The strange beast seemed to be familiar with the surveillance here. It landed on the roof silently, jumped up from the roof, and with the help of the trees planted in front of the office building, it moved several times and finally its claws were on a window on the fourth floor of the office building.

Although the surveillance here is said to have no blind spots, no strange beasts were captured during the entire process.

When the surveillance system was installed, no one could have imagined that there would be something that would not touch the ground at all and that would have a perfect grasp of the surveillance angles and blind spots.

It was as if he knew innately where the surveillance camera angles would intersect, leaving a blind spot.

There is a window on the fourth floor with a small opening. Someone specially opened a gap in the corridor window to keep air circulating.

The gap could only be opened to the width of a palm, and was so restricted that the beast, whose claws were larger than the gap, inserted one claw into the gap a little bit, and its entire body seemed to turn into a whirlwind, and suddenly, with a sound, it was blown into the corridor along with the cold wind.

After the strange beast landed, it walked lightly and quietly to the door of one of the offices.

It looked at the door lock at the door, blinked, then turned around, facing its butt towards the office door, and swept its tail, which then became flatter and flatter.

Finally, the tail was like a piece of paper, and it slipped into the office through the crack at the bottom of the door. Then the tail flexibly lifted up, wrapped around the door handle inside, and slowly turned it, and the door opened.

The strange beast held its head high, shook its head, and stepped into it.

This office is very large and is filled with rows of movable filing cabinets. Basically, all paper documents used when doing business in the local office building are filed here.

There are also many government documents and various official documents that are kept here.

The strange beast, which seemed to know the location of all cameras and the angles that the cameras could capture just now, came in swaggeringly at this moment, but did not notice that there was a camera in the corner of this office.

This camera is not part of the surveillance system of this office building. It was installed by people from the Lieyang Tribe and exists independently.

At the same time, in the Lieyang Tribe of Zhongyuan County, the system captured an obvious abnormality and automatically pushed a message. The message quickly reached Niu Zhiqiang who was patrolling the street.

A pickup truck came speeding over, and Niu Zhiqiang jumped directly onto the trunk of the pickup truck and drove straight to the local government office building.

The strange beast that was still in the office building blinked, stretched out a claw, moved the filing cabinet, and began to look through it.

Soon, the strange beast dug out a file bag. Its tail was very flexible, like a human hand. It opened the file bag and took out the documents from it.

The first document is a document related to local fireworks and firecrackers.

The strange beast sat down on the ground and raised its two front paws. With one paw, it held the document, and with the other paw, it tried to grab something like a big cat.

Some tail hairs suddenly grew out of its tail, forming the shape of a large brush in its claws, with the tip of the brush being its tail hairs.

It held a large pen in its hand and sucked it in its mouth, and its tail flew over to cover the red head on the document.

Then it stuck out its tongue and licked the seal on the back of the document. The tail hair separated a part again. After trying a few times, the tail hair penetrated under the seal. After gently prying it a few times, the tail hair pried up the seal.

At this time, the strange beast stretched out its big tongue and licked the document.

In an instant, all the words and contents nailed down on the document suddenly came alive, and each word seemed to be about to jump up.

The word "department" popped out of the paper and beat the word "related" next to it. The surrounding pile of words seemed to be attracted and immediately joined the beating team.

Especially the character “人”, which relied on its long legs to force its way in and kept stepping on it like a person who was kicking wildly during a gang fight.

"Don't make a fuss, we're busy now, hurry up and arrange it, I don't know how to change it."

The strange beast shouted, and ordered the messed-up text to be quickly restored to its original state. It couldn't change it now even if it wanted to.

But once those words became active and started fighting, everything became a mess, with some even coming from other pages to join the fight.

The strange beast scolded twice, but there was no effect. It suddenly became anxious, and picked up a word with the pen. The moment the word was picked up, it turned into ink and was absorbed by the pen. The other words instantly became much more obedient.

Just when it was about to start changing something, the window suddenly exploded and a chain rushed in. The chain quickly wrapped around an iron cabinet and suddenly became taut.

A second later, a bull's head appeared by the window. The bull's head stared with its huge eyes at the strange beast sitting on the ground holding a pen, and shouted loudly.

“On New Year’s Eve, you forced us to work overtime, and you even dared to show up where I was patrolling.

"Okay, okay, very good, take this knife from your grandfather Niu!"

As a person from Haidai County, he just started to eat government food this year. He travels on business every day just to accumulate more merits. When the New Year comes and the family gathers, whether he cares or not is another matter, but at least he can make the old people in his family happy.

Now, because of a strange beast, he was sent to Zhongyuan County on New Year's Eve, patrolling the streets in the middle of the night against the northwest wind. Not to say that his resentment is heavier than that of a ghost, but at least he is very angry.

Niu Zhiqiang's arm trembled suddenly, and his whole body swelled up, with his horns almost touching the ceiling.

He waved his arms and chains flew out with a terrifying whistling sound. With one blow, an iron cabinet was instantly dented and the layers of sand and dust on the wall were scraped off.

The strange beast was agile and dodged easily with just a slight movement. It was a little annoyed.

"How can you, a monster, meddle in other people's business?"

"You are the monster! Your whole family are monsters!" Niu Zhiqiang was furious and tried to take the strange beast by force.

The strange beast dodged flexibly, its body like a civet cat, with a document in one paw and a pen in the other, yet it could still easily avoid all attacks.

As the fight began, the words on the paper calmed down and stopped fighting. The beasts moved around in a small area, dodging as they completed the modification.

As the modification was completed, the seal that had been pried up fell back, and the covered red-headed document was released.

After completing it, seeing that its range of movement was getting smaller and smaller due to Niu Zhiqiang's suppression, the monster rolled up the remaining documents and jumped out of the broken window.

Niu Zhiqiang wanted to chase it, but when he looked out the window, he saw the strange beast running across the eaves and walls, running wildly on the facade of the office building, and then quickly turned to the other side and disappeared.

He quickly took out his equipment and relayed what had just happened to others.

This strange beast was too agile and he couldn't catch it at all.

At the same time, people nearby who received the news also quickly approached here in their own ways.

The drones in the sky took off immediately and searched for and locked onto the target from high altitude.

Within three minutes, more than a dozen drones were flying in the sky within a radius of 500 meters, and they quickly captured the strange beast that was climbing walls and avoiding almost all cameras on the ground.

At the end of the road, a car stopped and Yan Zhikong got out of the car. He looked calm and restrained, like an ordinary person. He looked at his mobile phone, which showed that the strange beast was about to pass by.

He did not rush to do anything. When he saw a strange beast running rapidly but silently on the facade of the building outside, he shook his sleeves and stepped down from the altar.

He held the talisman in one hand and flipped his other hand, and three burning incense sticks appeared.

The moment the incense stick is inserted into the incense burner, the mantra will sound.

The strange beast sensed that a master was performing a magic trick with great efficiency. The moment it felt the huge threat, it turned around and ran away.

Yan Zhikong's expression remained unchanged as he proceeded step by step. When the spell was finished, he burned up a talisman, clenched his fingers, and shouted in a deep voice.

The next moment, a streak of light was seen chasing after the strange beast.

The strange beast felt the fierce force coming, so it twisted its body and let all four of its limbs leave the wall at the same time, barely avoiding the rushing light. It adjusted the position of its tail, flipped its body, and fell to the ground.

This time, when the strange beast fell again, there was finally some sound and it was no longer so silent.

The streak of light flew away, but did not fly back, but fell directly onto the chain on Niu Zhiqiang who was chasing him.

Niu Zhiqiang, who was standing on the trunk of a pickup truck, glared and felt very clearly that this was not a mistake, but a blessing specifically for him.

I chased the strange beast just now purely to scare it and force it to fall down.

Niu Zhiqiang immediately shook his wrist and threw the chain in his hand away.

On the chain, runes lit up, and in an instant it flew out close to the ground like a dragon entering the sea.

The moment it landed, there was a clicking sound, and one end inserted into the ground, while the other end went straight towards the strange beast.

The strange beast dodged the chains easily, but saw a halo flash above the chains, and in an instant, more than a dozen chains of light appeared.

The chains intertwined together to form a dragnet that directly sealed off all space within a radius of more than ten meters.

The strange beast had nowhere to escape, and its body flashed, as if it had turned into a tangible wind, trying to get out of the gap, but it was stopped by the halo and turned back to its original form. In an instant, it was tied up tightly with chains and restrained in place.

Seeing that the strange beast was still struggling, Niu Zhiqiang, who was already angry, grabbed one end of the chain and exerted force with his arm. In an instant, all the chains began to tighten.

"Brother Niu, please show mercy."

Yan Zhikong walked over from a distance, looked at the strange beast that was tied to the ground and was still struggling, pinched his fingers and lightly tapped the chain, and the chain loosened a little.

"Don't be nervous. If you haven't hurt anyone, nothing will hurt your life."

"Let me go, I didn't do anything bad!" The monster's face was full of dissatisfaction.

"He ran into the government office building in the middle of the night, not only stole documents, but also secretly modified them. And you still say he didn't do anything bad?" Niu Zhiqiang was so angry that smoke came out of his nostrils.

When Yan Zhikong heard Niu Zhiqiang talk about the strange thing he had just seen, he was slightly startled. He looked at the strange beast again, reached out his hand through the gap in the chain, and took out several documents that had been stolen by the strange beast.

If he only looked at the document, it seemed to have nothing to do with the Chinese New Year. They were all about local matters, and he couldn't see what was wrong with it.

After a careful comparison and confirmation, Yan Zhikong immediately said.

"Send someone to check immediately to see what has been modified."

"In my experience, a red-headed document is definitely a document that has been issued and has come into effect."

"Impossible, this beast doesn't have that kind of strength." Yan Zhikong flatly denied.

Things issued by government departments in the form of official documents are not something that any alien beast is qualified to modify.

There is no point in just revising a piece of paper.

If the content is modified directly, the published content will change.

The content inside is not very important, not very significant, but it is equivalent to shaking a bit of China's destiny.

If the content is something particularly important and if it can succeed, it will be equivalent to shaking the destiny of China.

There is no way this strange beast could possess such strength.

Yan Zhikong looked at the bound monster again, took out his cell phone to check the time, it was already past midnight.

And he didn't receive any more news about any incidents elsewhere.

After careful consideration, he decided to send out a message.

"I think this is probably not the Nian beast."

It was more difficult than expected to determine what the monster had modified. The archive room was already in chaos, and Niu Zhiqiang couldn't see clearly what the monster had modified. He was wearing glasses and could only see the file header. He determined some things based on his experience.

It was the middle of the night and the person who was woken up was searching through the messy pile of documents but still couldn't be sure.

Because these people's memories have changed as the documents have been modified, they all believe that there is nothing wrong with all the documents there and that they are the same as they were when they were issued.

In the end, I had no choice but to scan everything and upload it all.

Then the headquarters came up with a comparison.

The result was very unexpected. After trying it three times in a row, I asked for help and used other rare objects before I finally confirmed that it was correct.

The only document that the beast changed was the local document regarding the ban on fireworks.

The changes to the exotic beasts allowed fireworks to be set off in all places except certain locations, and the document was changed to be very standard, from the wording to the format, it could be used as a template for official documents.

It is wishful thinking for others to start from this aspect and look for modified files.

On the other side of the small town, Yan Zhikong looked at the message on his mobile phone, then raised his head and looked into the distance.

There were already people setting off fireworks there, one after another, for quite some time, but he hadn't paid much attention to it just now.

Now it seems that the file has indeed been changed.

A chain reaction has already occurred. In the middle of the night, there are still so many people who are not afraid of the cold and are setting off fireworks outside. The number of people is increasing.

The whole town seemed to suddenly come alive at this moment.

Now Yan Zhikong understood what went wrong.

The strange beast that appeared in a place where fireworks were prohibited was not the Nian beast at all.

The power of this strange beast to modify files does not come from itself, but from local people.
