I Am Your Natural Enemy

He fed the information into the Black Box, letting it track that ghost or photo.

In Virtue City, most surveillance cameras have been upgraded; at every intersection, there are cameras capable of capturing ghosts, all linked to the Scorching Sun Department.

In the yard of the Virtue City Funeral House, it’s even more so; all the cameras can capture ghosts.

He quickly found the trail of the car accident ghost, then, in one of the screens, locked onto something that seemed like a photo.

That photo looked like a falling leaf, fluttering in the wind, sometimes rolling along the roadside curb, finally flipping out of the funeral home and landing on a car.

Upon closer inspection, that car belonged to the family of the photo ghost.

Well, if there’s no ghost now, I’d be surprised, a bizarre ghost appearing at an inappropriate time; even Wen Yan began to suspect, could it really be because he went to work that something happened?

Even though, it seems there’s no causal relationship.

He couldn’t figure out what was wrong, just a somewhat abnormal ghost following its family.

Looking at it from the current stage, it doesn’t seem abnormal.

Thinking it over, Wen Yan decided to play it safe, he opened a window to Fuyu Mountain, looking for the Fourth Great-uncle Master.

Upon listening to Wen Yan, the Fourth Great-uncle Master also found it amusing.

”In your unit, when isn’t there something happening? The past few decades were manageable, but from this year, the easiest place to encounter ghost-related incidents is your unit.”

The Fourth Great-uncle Master said that merely to counter the head of the Funeral Home, however, regarding the approach and actions, there was no carelessness.

As soon as he began looking, not even a minute passed when the Fourth Great-uncle Master’s expression became grave.

He looked through the data on Wen Yan’s phone, comparing the high-resolution photo content, combined with previous reports, after studying them for a good while.

”He suffered severe trauma; his bones shattered. After reconstruction, it seemed like he became a different person.

From the Celestial Court, straight through, to the impression areas, the nasal bridge, and the chin, everything has undergone slight adjustments.

The skill of the person who reconstructed his corpse is very high; the technique seems somewhat familiar.

But the craftsmanship is so good, the result of the reconstruction is identical to what’s on this later picture.

It’s normal that you can’t see it. Normally, there’s a difference between a photo and the person, let alone between different photos.

The rendering power of the human brain is very high; the human eye also deceives itself.

You can only recognize that these two are the same person, but if you separate each part individually, they are two different people.

This photo is very problematic.

It precisely adjusts all the bad or poorly matched facial aspects of this person.

It still looks like the same person, but actually, if viewed from the facial structure, they are completely different people.”

Upon hearing this, Wen Yan immediately recalled something.

Back then, when he was in the server domain’s interface room, he looked over everything integrated, evading surveillance.

Aside from the most common things, livestreams, social networks, forums, etc., there was a beauty camera app.

Only when Wen Yan looked, he didn’t see anything wrong.

At this moment, hearing the Fourth Great-uncle Master, Wen Yan’s expression shifted.

”Does it resemble a beautified photo?”

Wen Yan took out a camera, used mild beauty mode, took a photo of himself, and showed it to the Fourth Great-uncle Master.

”Have a look, does it result in this kind of effect?”

”Pretty much, but you should delete the photo quickly; this beauty reduces your luck.”

Wen Yan dutifully deleted his beautified photo, then promptly called Feng Yao, explaining the situation.

”Among the list I provided you, there should be such a beauty camera. My first thought was this one; which genuine camera app would spend so much money to evade surveillance in this manner?

Quickly send someone to check out this guy’s place; see from where this beautified photo came.

Then promptly catch that photo ghost before discussing any other thing.”

”The actual controller of that app has already been informed by our guys, probably enjoying complimentary tea in the Scorching Sun Department right now.”

”Hmm, I think if there’s truly a major issue, it’s unlikely one or two people could achieve it.”

”I’ll notify them right away.”

As he hung up, his phone rang; it was the Funeral Home director calling.

”Director.”

”Xiao Ye got into an accident, just got hit by a car.”

”Hmm? At this time, how did she get hit?”

”She just walked out the unit’s front gate, then someone mistook the gas pedal for the brake, backed up and hit her; luckily she reacted quickly, should be okay, already taken to the hospital.”

”Are you sure it wasn’t intentional?”

”The driver is my relative, certainly not intentional.”

”Understood.”

He hung up the phone, and the Fourth Great-uncle Master stood up.

”I’ll go with you; quite peculiar, sounds like something from Northeast over there.”

”What do you mean?”

”Your colleague seems like they’ve been hexed.”

”What?” Wen Yan was startled; how did this relate to hexing?

”Just seems like it; let’s go and check it out first.” The Fourth Great-uncle Master looked at the photo, the more he looked, the more he felt the need to interact with new things; otherwise, he’d fall behind the times.

Wen Yan returned from the window to Virtue City, kept thinking, then called Feng Wei and Tong Si, asking Tong Si to come help.

To find one photo, relying on them alone would take forever.

About ten minutes later, once Tong Si arrived, Wen Yan drove them out together.

By the time they reached outside the photo ghost’s house, the Scorching Sun Department people were already inside interrogating.

The mobile phone belonging to the photo ghost before his death was already in hand.

The technical staff quickly completed decryption; upon entering the operation page, Wen Yan immediately saw that familiar camera app.
