I am your natural enemy.

Chapter 640: Homecoming, by the Yellow River

The professor had indeed read the updated information of the Fiery Sun Tribe before. After the accelerated recovery of spiritual energy in the past year, the underworld had changed rapidly.

Not only has the road become wider, but the underworld is also connected to more places. After some alien creatures are resurrected, the places where they hide are connected to the underworld.

The alien creatures from the wilderness wanted to rush over, so they had to go through the underworld. There were indeed a lot of messy things here.

But he didn't expect that Wen Yan's name would be quite useful in the underworld.

He had read the information about the Lieyang Tribe before, and thought that Wen Yan relied on his own strength and was not afraid of the negative effects here, nor the aliens and ghosts here. That was why he dared to take a shortcut through the underworld every day.

Now it seems that what the Lieyang Tribe knows may not be complete.

I'm afraid they all underestimated Wen Yan.

If the outliers here want to order takeout, they have to ask Wen Yan. The professor thinks it is reasonable, after all, this place is special.

What surprised him was that this alien didn't even dare to ask Wen Yan in person.

When we reached the main intersection, we saw two statues standing there. The street lights, which looked out of place with the environment, were emitting warm light, illuminating the road surface.

After arriving here, the yin energy has weakened a lot.

The professor could feel that under the light of the street lamps, there was a faint yang energy. It had no killing power, and even the souls of the dead could benefit from it. This should be the scorching sun.

"Don't look back." The old ghost, with his back to the professor, reminded him.

After saying this, the old ghost with wrinkles on his face thought about it, what if the other person can see behind him without looking back?

He immediately added.

"Don't even look behind you."

The professor knew the first rule of the underworld. He opened the car door, dragged the driver out of the driver's seat with one hand, carried the driver on his back, and walked towards the intersection step by step.

After taking a few steps and about to turn, the professor spoke.

"What's your name? What do you want to eat? I'll tell Wen Yan later."

"Thank you, sir. My name is Zu Sanjiu. I would like to have a bowl of mutton in a basin and three crescent-shaped sesame cakes." The old ghost replied quickly.

When the professor heard this, he understood what was going on.

"You want to find your way home, right?"

"Sir, you are wise."

The professor thought about it and realized that some ghosts who died before the revival of spiritual energy were revived with the revival of spiritual energy, but it had been too long and they could not find the way back home. They even forgot where their hometown was. This was indeed not a rare thing.

Some strange ghosts have extraordinary experiences before they die, such as dying on the battlefield or in some important occasions, and they don’t even remember that they are dead after they die.

Just recognizing this takes a long time.

What they can often remember may be the names of their closest relatives, but not their appearances.

If you don't have enough food when you die, you may remember the names of some foods that you missed during your lifetime, but you won't remember what those foods were specifically.

At times like these, if they could taste a bite of food they could remember the name of, they might be able to find their way back home.

If the soil and water of this food come from its hometown, it will definitely help it find its way back home.

He looked at the old ghost's back in front of him and recalled the old ghost's clothes.

After thinking about it carefully, Shuipen mutton is more famous in Guanzhong County, and the place where people like to pair it with crescent-shaped sesame cakes is about two or three hundred miles northeast of the county seat of Guanzhong County.

There seems to be no record of any branch of the Zu surname migrating to Guanzhong County, of course, a few individuals may have done so.

From the name of this old man, we can guess that he came from an ordinary background and probably didn't have any reliable relatives, otherwise he wouldn't have used this name until his death.

Of course, there is also a small probability that the other party specifically kept this name.

The professor had a flash of thought, but he finally suppressed the thought, stopped analyzing, and decided to talk about it later.

If he wastes any more time, his driver might suffer irreparable consequences.

The professor carried the driver on his back and walked up the path.

The old ghost stood at the intersection and watched the professor leave. He then dragged the suppressed monster forward and disappeared at the intersection.

On the other side, Wen Yan was riding his horse at full speed, going straight between the mountains.

He saw the location of the mobile phone and the footage taken by the drone.

In terms of positioning, the other party is not far from the Yellow River.

Thinking of the car that rushed into the Yellow River before, Wen Yan said in a deep voice.

"Black box, the other party's car may also rush into the Yellow River. Can the nearest person intercept it and delay it for a while?"

"Because they have to cross the river, the nearest people should not be able to intercept them before they get close to the Yellow River."

"Is there anything on the drone? Explosives or something?"

"Sir, this is just a detection drone. According to regulations, it is absolutely not allowed to be equipped with any kind of explosives."

"Isn't there a battery?"

“……” Black Box was silent for a moment.

"Sir, batteries are not explosives. The probability of the battery in that drone exploding is extremely small."

"Try to stop it when necessary."

After Wen Yan gave the order, he patted the Ghost Horse and asked it to work harder.

On the other side, the director general was also paying attention to this matter. He looked at the estimated time that appeared on the screen.

One is the time estimated by the black box, which is the time when the car might rush into the Yellow River.

One is the time it will take to arrive based on Wen Yan’s current speed.

The latter will be about twenty-three to twenty-five seconds later.

"Have you found your identity?"

The black box lists the identity information of several people in the car.

Just looking at these, you really can't tell anything, but based on the payment records at the highway intersections, we first screened them, and then mobilized the corresponding surveillance comparison based on the time.

It was indeed discovered that people who appeared to have no contact with each other had met each other several times during weekend gatherings in the past six months, and all of them were outside the city.

"Try using the drone first. Just delay it long enough."

After giving the order, the director frowned and took out his phone.

"Did you see the message I sent you? I've sent you the synchronized location. If it doesn't work in half a minute, just blow up that car, regardless of life or death."

The director general just wants to capture someone alive now, otherwise, there would be no need to go through so much trouble.

When these people are exposed, their death is imminent.

After reviewing the other party's actions, it was obvious that he had been staring at the professor for a long time and was waiting for the right opportunity, so he seemed a little hasty.

What do they want to know from their professors?
Or to put it another way, what is so important that makes those people willing to risk their lives to ask the professor?

What exactly is it? Maybe only the professor knows? Just as he was thinking about it, the director saw a striking prompt on the screen.

"The professor's cell phone signal has been restored. The location is in Decheng. The professor has come out from the main intersection."

When the director saw the news about the black box, his eyes narrowed.

Then, when the director saw the following sentence, "According to camera observation, the professor is in a stable mood and is not talking," he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although being a professor is not a profession that involves direct combat, he is not a soft persimmon that can be bullied by anyone.

I guess he took the risk and returned through the underworld.

On the other side, the drone that had been watching had also swooped down, ready to manually blow up the plane and block the car for a while.

There were other drones in the distance, ready to take over.

The drone first tried to block for a while, but there was not much response. When passing a bend, the drone crashed directly into the windshield. The huge relative speed caused dense cracks to appear on the windshield.

As the line of sight was affected and the road was curved, the other party indeed slowed down.

After a slight delay, by the time the other party accelerated again, according to the black box's calculations, Wen Yan should have been able to catch up.

Three minutes later, a big river came into view in the distance, and the person sitting in the passenger seat shouted through gritted teeth.

"Fasten your seat belts and get ready to rush into the river."

When they all saw the river surface, a flash of lightning suddenly appeared from the side and hit the side of the car directly. The car body suddenly lost balance, rolled over several times, and stopped by the river.

Inside the car, three people with blood on their bodies or faces kicked open the door, rushed out of the car, and headed straight for the river.

One of them even took out a grenade and threw it at Wen Yan who was riding a horse in the distance.

The gray cloth flew out in an instant, rolled up at one end, and was lashed over like a whip. Then it was suddenly retracted. With a clear snap, the grenade instantly turned into an afterimage and was lashed away dozens of meters.

Just because of this delay, two of the three people had already jumped off the edge of the cliff and jumped into the Yellow River.

Wen Yan took a step forward and instantly jumped out of the road. He wrapped the two people with gray cloth in mid-air and hung them on the guardrail with the gray cloth.

At this moment, the last person jumped off the road and into the river.

The man's face was covered in blood. As he fell, he looked at Wen Yan with a smile on his face.

"Wen Yan, I recognize you, do you dare to chase me?"

Wen Yan looked at the turquoise water surface, his figure instantly disappeared from the spot, and appeared beside the opponent in mid-air. He kicked the opponent in the back. With the sound of broken bones, the opponent flew sideways in an instant, turned into a parabola, and fell into the mudflat by the river.

Wen Yan's figure continued to fall, and when he was only two or three meters away from the river surface, he disappeared in an instant and flashed to the riverside.

The moment his figure stepped on the river bank, he felt everything in front of him become dim.

The sky was dark, with black clouds hanging overhead. The emerald green river ahead was bubbling, and a deep breath began to emerge.

The water surface, which originally looked very calm, finally had a bit of the roaring and surging taste in the famous impression.

When the waves on the river were flying, an iron bull could be vaguely seen with red light in its eyes, appearing and disappearing behind the waves.

On the back of the iron ox, a woman with a long braid was sitting horizontally. The woman tilted her head slightly, and it was seen that half of her body looked intact, while the other half was just a skeleton.

Wen Yan had a blank expression on his face. He picked up the guy whose pelvis was probably broken with one hand and looked at the river coldly.

"I thought it was the river god who had resurrected, but it turned out to be a ghost pretending to be a god. If you have the guts, come and rob it. If you don't dare, shut up. If you keep nagging, I'll dig up your real body and use it to fill the sea."

Wen Yan said something, picked up the man, turned around and left.

On the river surface behind him, the waves rolled, and the green water began to show a hint of black. The black water turned into huge waves and rushed towards Wen Yan on the shore.

Wen Yan didn't even turn his head. The Water Official Talisman on the back of his right hand glowed slightly, and the huge waves behind him subsided silently, rushing ashore for one or two meters before losing their strength.

Wen Yan carried the man back to the road and pulled back the remaining two guys hanging on the side of the road.

Wen Yan reached out and first removed their chins, then searched their belongings, and after pulling out everything and making sure everything was alright, he took out his cell phone.

Black Box sent a message that the professor has walked out of the main intersection and is in good condition now, except that he was a little damaged by the underworld environment. Fortunately, the damage was not long and it was easy to make up for it.

The professor's driver is still unconscious and has been sent to the hospital.

Seeing this, Wen Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

People safe is good.

In about ten minutes, someone will come to pick you up.

These survivors must be taken back for interrogation.

Wen Yan knew very well that these people were going to jump into the Yellow River either to silence them or to kill them. Normally, the way people drown in the river is different from those who die on land. As long as they are prepared, they don't have to worry too much about the failure of the "silencing" even if they die.

Or, these people jumped into the river as a planned escape route.

While waiting for someone, Wen Yan glanced at the river surface, which had returned to its original calm and green state.

He is in charge of rain, how could he not know whether there are clouds in the sky?
What the hell is this? You want to use illusion to scare him.

If you say dig it out, then dig it out and find someone to dig out its true body!
If it wasn't necessary, Wen Yan really didn't want to get close to the Yellow River.

But this time, Wen Yan couldn't swallow this.

He looked through the things he had found on these people.

One of them had an ancient jade pendant hanging around his neck. On the back of the pendant, there was a talisman engraved, which looked a bit like the water official talisman for relieving disasters.

Wen Yan was very familiar with this, the talisman of the goddess who could relieve misfortunes.

It looks like it was some Taoist priest who was bestowed with the ordination seal of the Goddess of Elimination of Evil, who personally engraved it, performed a ritual and blessed it.

It is very crude and cannot be considered a rare object. The power contained in it should not last long.

But there is a high probability that the person wearing this will be able to avoid drowning for a short period of time after falling into the water.

Wen Yan was not very good at this and could only rely on his vague sense to estimate that it would take between fifteen minutes and half an hour.

After being discovered, it is indeed much easier to escape by falling into the river than on land.

But apart from this person, the others were probably intended to silence them.

After waiting for ten minutes, the contact person arrived and escorted these people directly to Guanzhong County. If they were taken across the bridge, who knows what would happen.

On the way back, the professor called me and his speaking speed was obviously faster than usual.

"Wen Yan, you didn't fall into the river, did you?"

"No."

"Did you use the scorching sun there?"

"That obviously didn't happen."

"Oh, that's good." The professor breathed a sigh of relief. "I just heard about your past, and I reviewed it again. I thought of another possibility. This matter may also be intended to lead you to the Yellow River."

"Professor, let's not talk about these for now. I want to ask you something else. Is there a black iron cow in the Yellow River? It looks like a water buffalo, but also looks a bit like a yellow cow."
