I am your natural enemy.

Chapter 722 List, Psychology
Wen Yan was quite surprised that Old Liu actually had something in his stomach.

Since the beginning of this year, there are actually quite a lot of people or outliers who have settled in Paode City.

Some people come here because they don't demand high wages and just want a stable life; some have offended someone and can't make it anymore; some have committed some crimes, but they are not serious enough to be sent to a repression detention center. They are afraid of being killed and run here with some information.

Wen Yan ignored most of them and did not personally go and file them.

A lot of things happened this year. Anyone who dared to come here knew that if they got into trouble and were hanged on a street lamp, the Lieyang Tribe would not care.

Moreover, there is no detention center for people of different backgrounds or professions in the local area, just an ordinary detention center.

That means if you get caught doing something, you're basically dead.

But if someone does not cause trouble and lives a normal life in Decheng, even if he is a monster or encounters an 8-liang scale in the vegetable market, the people from the Municipal Supervision Bureau will intervene.

Decheng itself is not big, and there is a large amount of funds on the books, but in reality, it is not the turn of Nanwu County to manage this money, and not a penny will be borrowed.

Local officials are all aware of the situation in Decheng. The core idea is to not cause trouble and do your job well. You will receive salaries, bonuses and various subsidies, and most importantly, a future.

The overall coordination is good, the management is good, the number of aliens has increased, the number of professionals and warriors has increased, but there has never been any trouble. The only thing they do is fight occasionally after drinking at night, and no one dares to use equipment or force.

As for the north of the city, there is no one drinking or fighting at night.

I looked up and saw the new pendants on the street lights, which was immediately equivalent to being subjected to a forced calm skill.

The Lieyang Tribe didn't bother to take care of the street lights. When they later replaced or installed new street lights, they quietly increased the wall thickness of the street lights by two levels. There was a reason for all this.

Those who have committed serious crimes would definitely not dare to come to Decheng, and naturally there are very few people who can provide any important intelligence.

When Old Liu saw that Wen Yan was not in a hurry to add water to the sauna stone, he felt a little relieved.

On the one hand, talking in the sauna is quite private, as the sound insulation was very good when it was renovated. On the other hand, when you don't want to chat, you can add water to the sauna stones to increase the temperature in the sauna.

It's a bit like serving tea to see off guests, but it's not so obvious, so as to save some face.

"From what I know, it doesn't matter whether the wives of the river gods live or die, as long as they exist.

As long as all the eighteen river gods' wives exist at the same time, if anyone dies later, they can continue to be added.

Their existence is to draw some strength and power from the river god.

Not much, but something is good enough.

Even if they all died later, it would be better, because the power absorbed by the identity of the River God's Wife would not be returned to her.

The name has been decided and what needs to be done has been done.

According to a more reliable speculation I have, the wives of the river gods themselves cannot hide anything.

Some of them simply cannot stay idle or keep a low profile, so they will definitely attract attention.

At that time, with the knowledge of the Goddess of Evil, the Lieyang Tribe will not sit idly by and will definitely strike hard. "

Wen Yan nodded. It was similar to his previous guess. The process might be a little different, but the result was that the Lieyang Tribe would definitely take action.

"continue."

“As for the man surnamed Lu, his situation is a bit strange. Anyway, it’s different from what I know. There must be something seriously wrong.

I know it's possible that the information I received was false, but I'm sure that only part of it could be false.

The original plan I know of is to ask Lu to wake up, and then lead you..."

Old Liu paused here and continued.

“Or Tuoba Wushen could go over and kill him forcefully, causing him to fall into silence again.

As for why, I don’t know, I just know there is such an arrangement.

As for who arranged it, I have no way of knowing that information.

This is just a speculation, not guaranteed.

Maybe he arranged it himself in the past.

Because there are some people who truly feel that they are loyal to the King of Rivers, unlike mortals like me.

These people were the ones who did the previous incident with the River God’s wife.

They have been around for many years and have been involved in many organizations.

From the former White Lotus Sect, to the later Heaven and Earth Society, secret service organizations, and some unofficial organizations now..."

Wen Yan's eyes lit up slightly.

"Can you tell me about the last one? It would be best if you have a name, or a specific person."

"I have a list of organizations and I can give it to you later." Lao Liu felt no pressure at all when selling this.

"Okay, go on." Wen Yan nodded. So far, he was quite satisfied with the results.

Listening to the names of those organizations, they are just short of being called professional traitors.

"still got more……"

Old Liu talked for a long time, all about things related to the Yellow River. Wen Yan listened quietly. The temperature in the sauna room dropped a little, but he didn't add water.

“As for the second thing, I have seen a kind of gold coin before, but it was very troublesome and I have never touched it.

There was another thing, a pendant, a piece of amber the size of a thumb, with something sealed inside.

That thing is the chance of immortality. After swallowing it, you can live forever.

But the price is cannibalism, and the one being devoured cannot be an ordinary person, it must be a cannibal.

It is said that this item of longevity is a high-end item.

I also know two immortals. One of them was formerly code-named Sizzling Squid and is a doctor.

There is another one codenamed French Chef, who immigrated to Europe ten years ago. Because he has a picky taste, he cannot find satisfactory ingredients in China, and it is also difficult to cultivate them himself.

After he went there, he killed a cannibal and took over his identity.

There is no photo of that thing, but I remember what it looks like, so I can draw it later. After rendering and modification, it should be not much different from the photo. "

“As for the third matter, it is related to the incident in Northeast China last year, and you were the one who took care of it.

You brought back a girl from there, a girl who was said to not exist.

At that time, there was also an old guy with a keen sense of smell, and he ran away early.

He went around and finally arrived in Europe. Two months ago, I heard about him from a broker.

He is connected to the third largest family of vampires in Europan.

But the Toledo family is also in Shenzhou. It shouldn’t be difficult for them to investigate an outsider who is not from the clan, and there won’t be so many taboos.”

Wen Yan went to add some water to the sauna room. The steam rolled up with a sizzling sound, rapidly raising the temperature of the sauna room, which had already cooled down a bit.

"I still say the same thing. If you have any problems, it's best to confess as soon as possible. In this way, if you have made significant contributions, you can be treated leniently.

If it's not too serious, it's not impossible to make a prison in Decheng.

I think you know the details better than me.

But now that you're here, if the matter is discovered later, the nature of the matter will be different.

do you understand? "

"I understand." Old Liu nodded. He really understood the rules better than Wen Yan. "So, seeing that you are so good at being an intelligence broker and can get intelligence from outside, I have a task for you. Do you want to take it?"

"Can you think about it?"

"Why don't you ask something first?"

"If I knew what it was, I would have to take it." Lao Liu was very cautious.

"Okay, let's go out together and have something to eat. I think we can talk some more."

Old Liu nodded happily. Running to Decheng was basically equivalent to selling himself to Decheng, to Wen Yan.

By paying the price, he would have a great chance of enjoying his old age and dying of old age.

When I came out, I saw the bath scrubbing king fooling customers again. He hung a sign and secretly charged customers half price, and he seemed very happy.

Wen Yan felt that this guy would be audited for taxes sooner or later.

After coming out, it was time for dinner, so I had a buffet meal at the Scrub King. Afterwards, I occupied the Scrub King's tea room and continued chatting with Lao Liu.

"Can I ask what the matter is? Is it inside or outside China?" Old Liu asked cautiously. If it is within his ability, he would certainly be willing to show goodwill.

"They are basically people from outside of China, but there may also be some people from China involved."

"Then could you tell me something non-confidential first? I'll see if I can help."

"Two days ago, a group of people from outside ran to the vicinity of Shenzhou. They should be related to Gu Meng, but they all died suddenly and strangely. Do you know about this?"

"I don't know. After I came to Decheng, I lost contact with people outside."

Lao Liu answered smoothly, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Because the first person he thought of was his former boss.

Maybe his former boss had an accident while doing something.

After all, he had heard his former boss say more than once that dreams were very dangerous and there might be any accidents that could wipe out the whole team.

It is basically equivalent to the one-life hardcore mode, with some white-board scattered equipment, to open up high-level dungeons.

Wen Yan looked at Lao Liu with a smile and touched his chest. The fire in his heart was burning quietly. He felt that Lao Liu, who had been very calm, had his heartbeat quickened for a moment.

"Lao Liu, don't be nervous.

Let me tell you something in private.

No one will force you to tell us everything you know.

As long as it is not related to the crime and has nothing to do with you, you don't have to say anything.

Now there is such a task, if you accept it, you should do it well.

Then, filing is a small matter, and you will also have merits.

Although merit is not an indulgence, meritorious officials will be treated preferentially.

Now, the news I got is that someone outside is looking for a person from Shenzhou.

What a coincidence, my last name is Liu, just like yours.

Well, I just need to know whether this person also died suddenly like those foreigners.

There is no need to know who this person is or where he is.

This isn’t difficult, is it?

Wen Yan patted his butt and left. He actually hoped that having an intelligence broker here would be a lot more convenient sometimes.

As for some things outside, you can ask the devil about them, but that cannot be said for things within China.

That devil is very cunning and never comes close to China.

Naturally, the more intelligence channels, the better.

Wen Yan left, and Lao Liu sat there for a long time before he let out a long sigh.

He was too calm in the beginning, so the slightest change became particularly obvious.

He had just heard half of it when he was certain that Wen Yan was looking for his former boss.

I've only been away for a few days. Has something big happened?
While drinking tea, Lao Liu felt quite complicated. He really didn't want to sell out his former boss.

My former boss did have his shortcomings, but there was one good thing about him: while he liked to leave a way out, he also didn't like to do things to the extreme for his subordinates.

Otherwise, what's the point of retirement?
Retirement means sudden death, and the whole process of crushing bones and scattering ashes is something that Lao Liu knows a lot about.

With this contrast, his former boss immediately seemed to have a conscience.

If he was asked to sell it directly, he would definitely refuse, but since Wen Yan said so, it was obvious that he knew about his former boss.

Wen Yan also obviously guessed that he knew such a person.

Well... I just want to know, whether he is dead or alive, this kind of thing, the requirements are already as low as they can be.

Also, from what Wen Yan said, his former boss went to Gumeng with a group of people, and they all died. Now that so many people suddenly died outside, he must want to figure out what happened, or find someone to take the blame.

The people who can make his boss show up in person and go with him are definitely not small fry.

This could be dangerous if things go wrong. After all, he is his former boss and has been nice to him. It's only right for him to remind him and show some consideration, right?

Old Liu couldn't make a decision, so he sat there drinking tea.

Half an hour later, the bath scrubbing king Chen Tao came back wearing these big shorts.

"Old Chen, can you tell my fortune for me?"

"It doesn't count." Chen Tao waved his hands, gulped down two cups of tea, and refused.

"I'll pay you the normal amount, as I've asked you to give me a divination today."

"No, do you think I'm stupid?" Chen Tao curled his lips, with a look of sarcasm on his face: "I saw it as soon as I walked in. You old man, you want to make a choice, you are hesitant, and you want me to help you choose, so that you can comfort yourself that this is not your choice, but mine, right? What do you think I do? I've seen as many people like you as I have."

"..." Old Liu was speechless and wanted to refute, but he felt that what Chen Tao said made sense.

"If you really don't know how to choose, I'll tell you a trick, choose the second one.

If you are determined and have no hesitation in your heart, there will be no second choice. "

"Thank you. I'll transfer the money to you later." Old Liu breathed a sigh of relief and poured tea for Chen Tao.

"No, this is psychology, not fortune-telling."

After Chen Tao finished his tea, he turned around and left without giving Lao Liu a chance to speak.

After Chen Tao closed the door and disappeared, Lao Liu sighed and thought that Chen Tao was right.

He took out his cell phone, logged into a simple little website about mechanical processing, and left a message in the user message board of the website.

"There are a lot of people looking for you outside. The situation is not good. Please take care."

His former boss would surely understand what this meant.

Ten minutes later, he reopened the website and was told that it was under maintenance.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as this proved that his boss was not dead, but the situation was not good either.
