Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 18: Lusan's Law

After a day, Duan Mingyuan finally remembered the sanitation worker's name.

The worker's name is Lu San, a native of Yunlong City. When he was young, he was said to be very loyal to the underworld, and drinking and fighting were the norm. When he was 24 years old, he finally seriously injured someone in a gang fight and was sent to prison for 12 years. After he was released from prison, he was arranged to do some odd jobs in the community. He was imprisoned several times for theft, indecent assault and other reasons. Before working as a sanitation worker in this neighborhood, he had just been released.

This is also the longest job that Lu San has worked in all these years.

His intuition told him that this might be a very important name.

"But why does he look so old?"

Jiu Yue pointed at the man in the photo, "Isn't he only in his 40s?"

The person in the photo looked to be in his sixties, with a pale face and thin body, as if he had been sucked dry by a monster.

"It does not matter."

Duan Mingyuan carefully recalled the scene when he encountered an evil spirit after work late at night. "You were there at the time. The evil spirit crawled out of the garbage dump, right?"

"Ah."

"What was it doing before it crawled out?"

"…Eating garbage?"

To be honest, Jiu Yue didn't want to know what an evil creature was doing hiding in a dirty garbage dump, nor was she interested in Lu San, but she knew the answer to this question from the beginning, and it was a group of wanted criminals who told her.

The real criminal, who was offered a high reward by Universal Company.

"The ability is related to the subconscious of the main body. The information Fuling brought mentioned that Lu San has been complaining about the endless garbage he has to deal with every day."

If this theory is correct, then before he passed through the alley, the evil spirit in the garbage dump was actually helping Lu San deal with the garbage - by swallowing the garbage into his stomach.

Lu San may be a bad guy, but the embodiment of his spiritual energy does contribute to the cleanliness of the neighborhood.

Before the drummer fell into his wild dream, he always complained about the bleak future of underground bands. People felt that their song styles were becoming more and more similar, and many old fans had not come to support him for a long time. He wrote in his diary that no matter it was songs or rock, the core was the same, which was to firmly grasp people's emotions.

What he encountered in the company was precisely the evil spirit that manipulated human negative emotions.

Duan Mingyuan turned to a blank page in the notebook and wrote down everything he thought of. Jiu Yue didn't say anything. She watched silently from the side, giving her enough space. She read every word in the notebook carefully, and her eyes became more and more stunned.

Mr. Mingyuan is really born to do this job.

Just based on two unconscious people who had never met each other, we came to the conclusion that they were almost identical to the criminals!
Evil is the embodiment of emotions and desires, and negative emotions are excellent catalysts.

But in order to come to this exact conclusion, those criminals committed many heinous acts. Although they currently have a common enemy in theory, September knew from the moment they met that he could not get along with those people.

When humans' research on evil spirits reached a bottleneck, they turned their attention to monsters.

"Emotional fluctuations are the key to determining the strength of life energy."

"Desire and obsession determine the evolution of ability."

Duan Mingyuan's handwriting is just like him, neat and orderly, with every stroke being regular. It's obvious that he must have practiced it a lot when he was studying.

These two lines of words made Jiu Yue a little dazed.

Mr. Ming Yuan,

Are you cheating?

Now she not only wanted to get into Duan Mingyuan's heart, but also wanted to get into his brain to see if the structure inside was different from that of ordinary people.

When Jiu Yue thought about the criminals who used righteousness to flaunt themselves and claimed that the innocent passers-by affected were necessary sacrifices, she suddenly felt a little ironic. Their righteousness, the tragedy and sacrifice caused, the infamy they bore, and the results of the sky-high reward were easily caught up by Mr. Ming Yuan, who had just finished breakfast.

No sacrifice...

Oh, three eggs were sacrificed after all. The native chicken clan would probably strongly condemn this.

"September, do you have anything else to add?"

Duan Mingyuan stopped writing and asked politely.

He had to admit that it was the little fox's inadvertent words that made him focus his attention on the two people who were still in a vegetative state. If these conclusions were correct, then Mr. Lu San, who had wasted most of his life, might have made an outstanding contribution to the world.

Just as Klaproth discovered uranium and Boisbaudran discovered samarium, he glimpsed the mystery of life energy from Mr. Lu San.

If this discovery forms a formula and is written into textbooks in the future, it would be most appropriate to name it Lu San.

"How did you come up with these ideas?"

“Because I’ve seen it before.”

This "before" naturally refers to several years ago when he was still a high school student, with his head full of wild ideas that were not realistic at all.

He didn't like talking about his school days, but seeing that September was showing some interest in the matter, he started to explain, "Have you ever heard of the saying 'Gods and ghosts fear evil'?"

"I've heard of it, but it seems to be a rumor."

Jiu Yue has never seen a god, but she understands evil spirits. No evil spirit will be afraid of evil people, because their existence itself is the embodiment of human evil desires.

"I've seen evil spirits being scared away by ordinary people before. Low-level evil spirits generally don't like to bother people with violent emotional fluctuations."

Intense emotions triggered changes in life energy, and made those evil spirits that had not yet awakened their wisdom instinctively feel threatened. However, this phenomenon was only limited to the evil spirits in the "intern" stage. Those newcomers who had just joined the company were ignorant and no one dared to provoke them. They could only look at other people's faces and swallow their anger. But when the evil spirits became "formal employees", everything was different.

"Ms. Fuling will definitely want to know this. Didn't she invite you to submit your resume to the company?"

"She's not the one we're looking for."

Duan Mingyuan shook his head. After working for so many years, he had probably heard about the practices of Universal Company. Once he became a member of the company as an individual, these discoveries would be controlled by the company. At that time, "Lu San's Law" would be transformed into "Fuling's Law" or "Universal Life Energy Law".

Even Mr. Lu San’s few contributions to this world will be erased.

The next step is to monopolize the entire industry.

They would study evil spirits, and later monsters, and dig out the value from these anomalies.

September and the tribesmen living in seclusion in the mountains that she mentioned are a treasure waiting to be discovered by the company.

He lay in bed last night and didn't close his eyes until it was almost dawn outside.

In addition to the structure of life energy and career level, he was also thinking about another issue.

Fuling did offer an attractive bargaining chip, but the question is, is he willing to return to the company and return to his previous pace of life?
the answer is negative.

"Go find your immediate superior."

"what?"

September was a little confused.

"The organization should have set up a liaison in Yunlong City. I would like to meet him."
