I Am Your Natural Enemy

According to Ye Shuang’s activity track, after he rented this room, he might not have been back even once in three months, so how was the electricity used?

A bill of over four hundred, that would be eight or nine hundred kilowatts, how was that used?

Oh, I forgot it’s a rental apartment, even if we calculate at the highest rate, that would be three hundred kilowatts, the landlord wouldn’t be so unscrupulous as to somehow black out a few hundred kilowatts.

Wen Yan thought for a moment and called Feng Yao.

”Let me ask you something, has anyone from your team been to Ye Shuang’s rented apartment?”

”Not yet, we just retrieved that chat record, now we are planning to see which Taoist priest is available to go have a look.”

”No need for that, I’ll go.”

”Is there something wrong with the place?” Feng Yao became immediately tense, thankfully he was cautious and didn’t send an ordinary field agent to check.

”I don’t know yet, but I feel there might be an issue, I’ll go.”

After hanging up, Wen Yan looked at the location of the rental apartment and called Feng Wei.

Borrowing the Nether Path, he arrived at the Rakshasa Ghost Market, then borrowing from the Rakshasa Ghost Market, he directly arrived at Yu State.

Wen Yan arrived at the rental apartment, under the guise of Ye Shuang’s relative, he informed the landlord of Ye Shuang’s death, saying he came to help pack up and revoke the lease.

The secondary landlord, who didn’t live there, hurried to show up upon hearing this news.

”Oh dear, Xiao Ye was such a good person, I liked this type of tenant the most, quiet and punctual with rent, how could he just be gone?” The secondary landlord, upon hearing of a death, hurriedly inquired about the details.

”Too hardworking, sudden death, open the door, I’ll help tidy up the things.”

The secondary landlord originally wanted to make an excuse that he didn’t have the key, but now seeing that Wen Yan’s aura seemed a bit off, he didn’t argue and promptly opened the door.

”I’ll go tidy up his things, please wait outside.”

The secondary landlord looked at Wen Yan’s stern expression, inexplicably shivered, and his back emitted coldness, he dared not say anything more.

Behind him, Feng Wei blew on the back of the secondary landlord, seeing his face ash gray, he looked down disdainfully, he hated such people the most, both in life and death.

Wen Yan entered the room, there wasn’t much furniture, on that single bed laid only a bamboo mat.

In the corner on a cabinet, lay a router, something like a hard drive cabinet, and an UPS power supply.

Wen Yan recognized that UPS, because he once had a hard drive fail due to power interruption, that’s when he learned about this uninterrupted power supply, which is used to ensure stable power, and in case of a sudden outage, it could continue to provide power for a certain period.

Wen Yan didn’t mess with the device, he sent a message to Feng Yao, asking him to send an expert in this field.

Half an hour later, the person sent by Feng Yao arrived, fiddled with the equipment for quite a while, made a backup first, then shut down the equipment and took it away.

The secondary landlord had never seen such a display, judging by their demeanor, he knew they were certainly not ordinary people.

”Alright, now that the lease is terminated, you can send the deposit to Ye Shuang directly, whatever amount is due, just pay it.”

Wen Yan dropped a word and left with the people; the words of the secondary landlord regarding the deposit, which were difficult to refund, were barely mentioned halfway before he felt a chill on his back again.

”Stop playing around, let’s go.” Wen Yan called back, Feng Wei gave the secondary landlord a sideways glance and turned to leave.

The secondary landlord remained where he was, continuously breaking into a cold sweat, without having seen anyone.

Outside, Tong Si, who was walking with them, seemed puzzled as to why Wen Yan specifically said those things to the landlord, for he thought Wen Yan didn’t seem like the type to bully others.

”That’s not my money, it’s Ye Shuang’s money, whatever amount is due, it should be paid, if he dares to shortchange it, having a ghost come and claim it at midnight is not impossible.”

Feng Wei tugged at Tong Si, explaining what a secondary landlord was, why his expression had no courtesy.

Of course, Wen Yan was not prejudiced against these people, if it were up to him, he wouldn’t waste words with anyone.

But Ye Shuang’s money should be dealt with properly, having worked hard for it, even if he’s no longer around, it should go to the people in the village, rather than being taken by outsiders for a few hundred bucks, that won’t do.

It’s different.

He took the people to the Scorching Sun Department, where the technical department had put in place all kinds of physical isolation.

Then they opened the contents of those hard drives, which were all videos.

The resolution wasn’t very high, judging by the angle, they were likely recorded by the front camera of Ye Shuang’s laptop.

A big part of the beginning was Ye Shuang’s recordings, many related to technical matters, some were Ye Shuang’s thoughts.

However, later on, starting from one video, things became different.

At the beginning of the video, Ye Shuang turned on the laptop, Scorching Sun Department’s experts noted that this setup was pre-configured, turning on the laptop would automatically start recording videos.

A minute later, the screen seemed to be interfered with, showing some flickers.

Ye Shuang’s expression appeared a bit panicked, but he quickly calmed down, and began speaking to himself.

”Who are you?”

After pausing for a minute, Ye Shuang became increasingly composed, glanced at the camera, and continued talking to himself.

”You say you’re an ancestor of the Ye Clan, and I should believe you?

Your words I can barely understand, your accent is too thick.

Don’t speak to me about clan names, I don’t really get it, now we only have surnames.

I don’t know the origins of my ancestors, don’t try to fool me.

I have a curse on me, many people know about this, everyone in the village knows.

This kind of demon ghost trying to deceive me.

I might be dead in a couple of years, I advise you to scram.

If you push me, I’ll report it directly to the Scorching Sun Department.”

The first anomalous video ended.

Then, as if intentionally, in the following videos, this kind of anomaly appeared more frequently.

The second was clearly after the anomaly appeared, he then turned on the laptop, and after turning it on, he somewhat deliberately repeated the words of that unseen person.

”You claim you were harmed by Violent Qin, don’t try to fool me like I’m stupid.

You say you’re a commoner? Successfully passing down your bloodline, no one’s ancestors could remain commoners for over two thousand years.

The lowest people from that era wouldn’t readily talk about clan and surname.”
