I am your natural enemy.

Chapter 583 The Last Key, Borrowing Water (5k)
Wen Yan nodded. He was not too surprised. The proprietress of the Baigu Village had told him something. One of the main reasons why she joined the group was because some Baigu Village members had disappeared for no reason in the past.
Until she was pulled into that group, she actually guessed that the Bai Gu villagers who had disappeared before had disappeared here.
There is another reason, which is that we have captured a wave of various humans or non-humans before, but it was actually just like that. There were not many who resisted fiercely and it was a bit troublesome.
The rest have not been caught, on the one hand because of intelligence issues. It is difficult to catch them all by violent tracking and it will expose our capabilities in this area. On the other hand, those guys have begun to hide, so it is better to play the long game.
To say that these guys are actually just spare prey and raised piglets, Wen Yan thinks that is quite normal.
Wen Yan looked at the people in Taohua Village and asked.
"They are considered prey, so what are you in there?"
The people of Taohua Village pointed outside the village.
“I’m the last spare key.
When the Taohua villagers were still around, some people needed things that they grew or hunted.
Now, the crops we grow are still okay, we depend on the weather for our livelihood, but the yield has plummeted, but at least it's still there.
But if they need to hunt, they have to come here to hunt and get what they need.
If I die too, they will never be able to enter the Peach Blossom Spring again.
Occasionally I also need to deliver information or guide disembodied aliens.
That’s what I’m going to do.”
Having said this, seeing that Wen Yan didn't react, the people of Taohua Village were silent for a moment and then continued.
“I also know clearly that even if I am the last spare key, I am not indispensable.
With the revival of spiritual energy, there are substitutes for both prey and crops here.
It may even be possible that there are more ways to enter the Peach Blossom Spring than mine.
Maybe, in the beginning, I was also found as a prey.
Who knows. "
Wen Yan could probably understand why the people in Taohua Village wanted to rebel.
If what he said is correct, then his boss may not care too much about whether these people are loyal.
Just like that guy, he must have known that Luo Liang would not work hard, but he still dared to use Luo Liang.
Hmm, thinking of this, Wen Yan suddenly thought of a question.
Since that guy definitely knows this, why still use Luo Liang?
Are those two strange objects not important?
No, it definitely wasn't. If it wasn't important, why would they go to so much trouble to steal it? There must be other ways, none of which would work.
After thinking about it, Wen Yan thought of a possibility. Unless this matter itself was a cover-up, otherwise, the current choice was the best choice at the moment.
In other words, if he temporarily chooses to return to Decheng, not only will the curator need a quick-acting heart pill, Feng Yao will make a series of life-threatening phone calls, and the boss will also get angry?
He had to temporarily choose the most suitable option at the moment, which could be abandoned at any time, and the person who really has the ability to do it is naturally the most suitable one.
Wen Yan thought about it and realized that, indeed, if the person from the equipment department hadn't been so outrageous and hadn't self-destructed right away, catching the other party off guard, the car behind him would have been like a bomb, directly blowing Luo Liang here. He might not have seen Luo Liang from beginning to end.
If he had not made preparations in advance and followed the normal process, the rare object would have been sealed and placed on the transport vehicle, and it might indeed have been stolen now.
Luo Liang claimed that he had poor talent, but he lived a long life and was still able to remain cautious, which was actually a talent.
The rich experience accumulated over a long period of time is enough to make up for some of the problems with talent.
It’s not like everything is like math, where if you don’t know how to do it, you don’t know how to do it.
When the chrysanthemums that the other party has seen and touched are several orders of magnitude higher than those of all those in history, even if he cannot become the strongest, he can at least be at the tail end of the first echelon.
When Wen Yan looked at the people in Taohua Village again, he understood even more why this guy wanted to defect, although he felt that this might not be the only reason.
"Any other information?"
"My boss has already established a firm foothold in the island country. The recent events in the island country should all be related to him, including the super-large-scale Night Parade of One Hundred Demons."
As the people of Taohua Village were talking, they were interrupted by a roar.
In the distant mountains, the flock of birds that had just landed behind the mountains took off again and flew towards the village. The flock of birds gathered together, like a giant cobra, flying forward rapidly with its head held high.
When the black birds passed by the village, they did not stop or land, but flew straight into the distance.
Several seconds after the roar in the mountain sounded, a gust of wind was seen, sweeping up the dust and turning into visible waves, rushing out of the mountain.
In the village, it was as if a super typhoon of level 16 suddenly blew up. The moment the strong wind swept through, the roofs of many houses in the village were blown off and swept away by the strong wind.
The strong wind lasted for more than ten seconds, then rapidly weakened and finally disappeared.
Wen Yan looked up, but could see nothing. The moment he closed his eyes, his dark vision saw in the distance a huge light shining, representing an extremely powerful creature.
And under that huge light, there was another light ball that was obviously weaker, but the light of that light ball was rapidly fading, which meant that it was about to die.
Wen Yan opened his eyes, and the people in Taohua Village beside him were very calm.
“Don’t worry, with the revival of spiritual energy, the changes here will be much faster than in the present world.
Some powerful creatures have revived, and those guys won’t care about the villages here.
Just like when people pass by, if they don’t look carefully, they will not notice that there is a small ant nest in the green belt on the side of the road.
There is no special need, and no extra effort will be spent to move the ant nest.
I actually can't really tell where this place is.
According to the information I have now, this place is more like the middle area between some places such as Gumeng, Dahuang, and Mingtu.
At the earliest time, it was probably discovered accidentally by people fleeing the war during the Qin Dynasty. Later, because of the special environment here, they turned into half-human, half-ghost beings and became the earliest people of Taohua Township.
I vaguely remember that in my childhood memories of this place, there were no such powerful creatures.
Let's go, your aura is obviously stronger than that of ordinary people, you might be noticed.
I can't stay here any longer.
The boss went to the island country, and after he established his foothold there, he would definitely come back to do something.
There is one more thing, I am not sure if it is true or not, it is just information I got from a ghost in a blind spot.
My boss has found your natural enemy.
Also, he seems to be connected to Robin's rumored new Death Knight."
At this point, the people of Taohua Village looked into the distance and began to speed up.
"Let's go, we can't wait any longer, that thing is about to pass by here, I'll take you out.
I am just an ant that is not enough to fill the gaps between my teeth, but you are definitely a treasure that can be used to grind my teeth and taste the flavor."
The people of Taohua Village walked out of the village, and Wen Yan followed behind.
When he walked out of the village and came to the path between the fields, he looked towards the mountain and vaguely saw a huge shadow as tall as the mountain in the darkness.
That shadow gave him a sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen a similar one somewhere.
After quickly going through them in his mind, Wen Yan recalled three places.
One is Suicune. The only one he has seen up close that is so huge and oppressive is Suicune.
The second one was in Gu Meng, and the third one was at Decheng Funeral Home. That time it flashed for a moment, and I also felt a similar sense of oppression.
As Wen Yan walked, he closed his eyes and confirmed the direction so as not to get lost. After confirming that he was in the right direction, he continued to follow the people in Taohua Village.
He wanted to see what the huge shadow in the distance was, but his curiosity was not enough to make him take the risk.
He followed the Taohua villagers along the road in the fields, and finally returned to the original tunnel.
Cars were coming and going in the tunnel, everything was normal, and there was no sign of an explosion.
The place where I walked out was right in the depression of a tunnel inspection entrance, just enough to avoid being captured by surveillance cameras.
Luo Liang was just sitting there waiting against the wall, his clothes were tattered. When he saw Wen Yan appear, he breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that something might happen to Wen Yan and that it would implicate him.
After coming out, Wen Yan did not see the Taohua Villagers, they must have left directly. When Wen Yan saw Luo Liang, he instinctively took a step back, and his anus tightened.
Luo Liang laughed dryly and said.
"I have done my best in what I am supposed to do, and I really don't want to do anything else."
Wen Yan ignored Luo Liang and took out his mobile phone to check. The black box gave a prompt that Feng Yao had called him a total of eighteen times. The waiting time for each call was about forty-five seconds. The black box helped him intercept all the calls.
Then, he showed Wen Yan a series of text messages.
"Wen Yan, what are you crazy about? Don't take it back to your unit."
"Mr. Wen, why are you changing the route?"
"How dare you block my number?!"
"Why don't you blow me up, you little bastard?"
"Call me back when you get out..."
Wen Yan called back and took the initiative.
"Who told you that I really want to go back to Decheng? Isn't the purpose to attract people to rob me?"
"..." Feng Yao had been holding back words for a long time, but he was forced to hold them back. The phone was almost crushed. He took a deep breath and said, "You're right. What's the situation on your side?"
"I'm in a particularly difficult situation here. I met someone. I'll send you his information. Please take a look and see how to handle it according to the usual practice."
Wen Yan asked the black box to retrieve Luo Liang's information, pushed it to Feng Yao, and then started to read it himself.
Luo Liang’s resume is very stable. He is not a genius and his promotion speed is not fast, but he has been promoted all the time. After he reached his current professional title, he has not written any papers to climb up. Although he had opportunities before, he gave up on his own initiative at the beginning.
So he is very popular in the hospital because he doesn't block people's way.
Finally, when he was really forced to do so, he set up a separate department within the anorectal department. He did not compete for the leadership of the department and chose to stay on the front line. From the hospital to his colleagues, who doesn't like this great doctor?
Wen Yan asked the black box to show the information just recorded to Feng Yao alone and let Feng Yao make a decision.
Feng Yao frowned as he watched, and retreated tactically. He had little experience and really didn't know how to deal with it, so he asked Wen Yan to ask the headquarters director.
Wen Yan went to ask the director again, and after a moment, the director said that attacking the vehicle transporting rare objects of the Lieyang Tribe was indeed a serious crime and there was no room for negotiation, but Luo Liang had not been recorded in the book yet, so it depended on what Wen Yan thought.
If Wen Yan feels that he must strictly follow the rules, then there is no problem with that. One thing is one thing, merits are merits, faults are faults. Judging from the information sent by the black box, and with Luo Liang's characteristics, he will have to spend at least 30 years in a repression detention center.
If Wen Yan feels that this is someone who can be united with, and is willing to let the other party make amends for his crime, he can also take another procedure.
The director general said: We fully respect your ideas.
Wen Yan probably understood that, on the one hand, the director really thought so, but on the other hand, he also wanted him to do him a favor.
Seeing Luo Liang's honest look, Wen Yan sighed.
"Go back first. I'll ask you something later. You've lived for so long, you must know a lot. This is a chance for you to redeem yourself and make meritorious contributions. You should understand."
"I understand. I fully understand the organization's considerations."
"You've never seen me before, go away."
"Thank you, thank you. If you need anything, you can come to me anytime. Any relatives or friends are welcome. I can change the bandages myself, which can alleviate most of the pain. No anesthesia is needed..."
Seeing that Wen Yan's expression was not right, Luo Liang quickly shut up, dodged and disappeared in a puff of black smoke.
As Luo Liang disappeared, Wen Yan instinctively relaxed. Facing this guy, his body was instinctively on alert, and he couldn't even relax to fart.
At the same time, in the Peach Blossom Spring, a huge black shadow as big as a mountain appeared silently in the village. The black shadow rolled over the village, and the village was razed to the ground silently.
A huge black shadow hovered here for a while, and then a huge shadow that looked like an arm sank into the paddy field, as if trying to grab something.
The ground here was shaking slightly, and water waves emerged from the paddy fields, overflowing rapidly, flooding the fields and villages.
Suddenly, a delicate cry was heard from underwater.
"presumptuous!"
Then, there was the woman's somewhat suspicious voice.
"Huh? Suicune?"
Then, a crisp bell rang.
The waves suddenly stopped, as if frozen. The next moment, a huge arm rushed out from the water. A hairy fist rushed out from the water, directly engulfing the waves that submerged the place, and rushed straight towards the huge black shadow.
"Who are you to dare to touch my people? And you dare to borrow water power? Do you think I'm dead?"
The roar of Sui-kun drowned out the roar of the waves and exploded in the Peach Blossom Spring like thunder.
After the huge waves washed past, everything became quiet, and the huge shadow like a hill was shrunken by half.
The upper part simply disappeared.
The remaining half of the shadow quickly gathered together, and with a swish sound, it quickly retreated and disappeared into the shadow of the mountains.
Everything returned to calm, and as the sky gradually brightened, the paddy fields that were almost completely destroyed and the houses in the village all silently returned to their original appearance as the sky brightened, as if they had never been destroyed.
There was still smoke rising from the house, the food on the stove looked as if it had just been cooked, and the soy milk being ground was still dripping from the millstone.
No one knows all this.
Wen Yan had already boarded the Lieyang tribe's car and continued heading towards Decheng.
The director had the black box push some messages to him, asking why the two rare items could not be sent to the Decheng Funeral Home.
According to past experience, the vase that can make ghosts dissipate is in conflict with the old ice storage in Decheng Funeral Home. If such a thing is left there, it may cause an outbreak over time.
The Decheng Funeral Home was rebuilt because of the outbreak.
But this is just speculation based on past experience. It is impossible to determine whether the person who wants to steal this thing is afraid that the thing will be completely destroyed or is afraid of something else.
After reading the message, Wen Yan still went straight to Decheng Funeral Home.
Even in name only, the two rare objects had been destroyed.
On the other side, it was almost time for Decheng Funeral Home to open during the day. The director had a worried look on his face and sent a group message in the company group.
"You don't need to come today. There's a problem with the cremation system. There's also a problem with the power supply here. The water supply pipes were cut by road repairs, and the optical fiber was also cut. Everyone should just take this as a day off."
After sending the message, the curator thought about it, felt it was inappropriate, and withdrew it, changing the adjustment of leave to vacation.
Then someone sent a message to the family members who were to be cremated this morning, saying that there was a malfunction in the cremation system and they should wait in line later.
The curator stood at the gate of his unit, praying in his heart that nothing would happen.
It's really not that he is superstitious.
Time passed, Wen Yan's car stopped at the door of the unit, and he got out carrying a box.
"Director, long time no see. I missed you so much."
"Don't...don't..." The curator took a step back: "What on earth do you want to do?"
"This is the best way, and it's what must be done."
The curator looked back, sighed and said.
"Well, this building is a bit old anyway, and the sewer pipe is a bit thin, and there is only one, so it would be nice to rebuild it."
"Director, please stop being such a phoenix."
"Puh, puh, puh..." The curator quickly spat a few times.
He watched Wen Yan enter the unit's gate, his facial features almost wrinkled. He still didn't understand why the Lieyang Tribe would agree to Wen Yan's doing this. It couldn't be that they really wanted to build a new building for their unit, right?
Wen Yan carried the box and entered the office. He hadn't been here for a long time, and the place still remained the same. The old office building was still gloomy, and the temperature was at least ten degrees lower than outside.
Wen Yan carried the box and entered the old ice storage, selected an ice coffin, opened the box, took out two fake rare objects from it, and put them into the ice coffin.
He really didn't know what the other party wanted to do, and he was not sure whether it was appropriate to put real rare objects in there.
He also believed that the other party would definitely not believe that the real rare object would be destroyed along with the vehicle explosion.
Therefore, he asked the personnel from the Equipment Department to bring two more fakes. He came here specially to put the fakes in and then wait and see what happens next.
