I Am Your Natural Enemy

Surely someone must have achieved enlightenment in the past to leave behind these sayings.

Wen Yan now really enjoys this feeling—clearly not cultivating, not exploring a path, not even knowing the exact location or route, not even the order.

But there is a firm feeling inside that, yes, I understand.

He is very sure; he is not wrong.

Wen Yan opened his eyes and saw the unread messages on his phone, feeling as if he had just witnessed a firework display, but over twenty minutes had passed.

He looked at the still-unconscious Tuoba Martial God, took a step back, and bowed to Tuoba Martial God.

”Thank you.”

Even though I know he can recover, the suffering he endured wasn’t fake.

The panic during bloody urination, like eating too many chili peppers that didn’t burn the back but burned the front, wasn’t fake either.

The desperate effort needed to barely maintain breathing when suffocating, resembling a drowning sensation, wasn’t fake either.

Multiple organ damage, paralysis, eventually being tormented into unconsciousness, saved only by Blood Lock, wasn’t fake either.

Even though Wen Yan shared the things he risked his life to develop with Tuoba Martial God, he, too, took risks, paving the way for him.

Wen Yan solemnly bowed, expressing gratitude, and promised to share these insights later with Tuoba Martial God.

But for now, let’s allow him to slowly recover through automatic healing.

Wen Yan checked his phone and saw a message from Feng Yao.

Brother Ye, after getting off the high-speed train, transferred to a car and is about half an hour away from the designated location.

So far, everything is normal, except for one instance where Brother Ye seemed to be talking to someone invisible.

Among Brother Ye’s belongings, there is recording equipment, and from afar, high-end devices track him without his or his host’s knowledge.

To prevent issues with the recording device, Scorching Sun Department even brought in local-born lip-reading experts fluent in several local dialects.

Brother Ye didn’t know, and based on prior experience from Ye Shuang, the one possessing Brother Ye couldn’t possibly know either.

Such relics from the past are not familiar with technology, which is not an exaggeration.

Traversing through time, if they quickly understand how to play with phones, browse videos, and utilize mobile payments like a regular person, that’s already commendable.

Expecting them to understand more advanced tech, which even ordinary people find challenging, is unrealistic for these relics.

According to Feng Yao, unless they’re exceptionally sensitive professionals or have completed formal education with professional training, they can’t grasp such advanced integrated surveillance setups created with equipment, personnel, and more by Scorching Sun Department, unnoticed by ordinary people.

Even if one segment is noticed, the entirety can’t possibly be uncovered.

Wen Yan responded to Feng Yao with a ”1,” indicating acknowledgment.

He carried Tuoba Martial God, swiftly traversing the mountain.

He might not trust many things about the Scorching Sun Department, but he could find no stronger integration ability elsewhere.

After providing the General Director with critical information, the remaining tasks no longer concerned him.

Scorching Sun Department personnel would follow clues to unearth the truth; some records might be easier for them to decipher than for their AI to find directly.

While they might not provide direct answers, they know where to find them or how.

Providing a location, character, or event, even from over two thousand years ago with no formal records surviving, doesn’t limit information spread to official historical publications compiled by successive Imperial Courts.

After Chu’s fall during the Warring States period, Emperor Qin did not eliminate all Chu nobles, leaving some remnants behind.

Emperor Qin’s decree implementing Blood Severing Punishment was indeed a curse and a scandal. Though explicit records weren’t feasible, a bit of wordplay or recording in various forms wasn’t too challenging, considering the ancient tendency to compose poems or leave behind records even during mere travels. For a major event, it’s unlikely no information remains.

With a target in sight, Scorching Sun Department will seek assistance from scholars and compare possible related records.

They’ll cross-reference Qin’s records, checking what year it was, where the Qin army was, and who they vanquished.

Even after thorough comparison, no trace would be unlikely.

Moreover, the most crucial information came from Brother Ye; the invisible person told Brother Ye what to look for.

Indeed, in just over a day, the approximate location was identified.

Considering over two millennia have passed, coupled with geological surveys, the margin of error reduced to a hundred-meter range and couldn’t shrink further.

But this is sufficient.

If the invisible person could forge through over two millennia to pinpoint a former site, they wouldn’t need to trick Brother Ye into searching.

On the other side of the mountain, Brother Ye got out of the car to walk the remaining distance.

The driver’s reason was flawless; nighttime mountain roads are extremely unsafe.

With numerous mountains and bridges here, strong winds at night, especially during bridge crossings, mean occasional sudden demon winds overturning vehicles has happened before, even during the day.
