I Am Your Natural Enemy

Zhang Xuewen was eager to clear himself of the suspicion of being Tuoba Martial God on the last day of the month. After all, for twenty-nine days of the month, or thirty in long months, he was just an ordinary petty martial artist, and a dump truck could easily send him to the funeral home.

He knew himself that once or twice was fine, but if it happened every last day of the month, it was hard for others not to be suspicious.

And as for Wen Yan, he wasn’t looking to take the blame. Instead, he wanted to attribute some things he wanted to do to the identity of Tuoba Martial God.

If he did something, it might cause enmity, someone might suffer losses and dare to take risks against him.

But no one would dare to cause trouble when Tuoba Martial God appeared.

Even some not-so-bright demons knew how to avoid danger and pursue fortune.

Everyone was familiar and had fought side by side more than once. Wen Yan had also shared some things with Zhang Xuewen, so there was trust between them.

Now, without saying more, both of them already had a plan in mind.

Wen Yan had thought of several things to undertake under the banner of Tuoba Martial God in the future.

As he emerged from the mountain, Wen Yan received a call from Feng Yao.

”Hello, I just received some news from headquarters. Something happened that you should be aware of.”

”What’s the matter?”

”I’ve sent it over to you; take a look yourself.”

Wen Yan pulled out his Scorching Sun Department phone, opened the built-in app, and saw some documents sent by Feng Yao.

The contents of the documents started with a post from that forum, detailing a series of findings and highlighting items that had not been investigated and required special attention, laid out very clearly.

Wen Yan looked it over and thought that the person alluded to here, between the lines, was him.

The person who posted really had some information.

According to the timeline given, the other party knew he had been in the vicinity before, information not typically accessible to ordinary people.

Moreover, the other party outlined a fourth overlapping appearance. Wen Yan thought about it and realized that at that time, he hadn’t entered Virtue City Funeral House yet; he was indeed in Yu State then.

So, was it just coincidental that Tuoba Martial God acted while he was nearby?

To be honest, Wen Yan couldn’t remember clearly. Unexpectedly, someone else knew better than he did.

With his own authority, he checked the time and place of Tuoba Martial God’s action, then recalled that at that time, he didn’t know anything about ghosts or the Spiritual Qi Resurgence and was just an ordinary person.

Upon careful reflection, he realized he was indeed nearby then.

He remembered that day because he saw a lot of cockroaches and rats coming out from the sewers.

But that day, he also noticed that someone was disinfecting the sewage in the urban village, causing cockroaches and rats to emerge from the sewers in broad daylight.

Wen Yan was inexperienced then and found it quite curious, so he asked around and learned it was normal, happening every year.

It was during that event he first saw that cockroaches could actually fly and even fly towards people’s faces.

He remembered the incident, just not the exact date, but upon checking now, he matched it up.

Wen Yan scratched his head, wondering who the person posting was.

That the other person knew even this much meant they knew quite a lot.

And judging by the records from the Scorching Sun Department, when they attempted to trace the poster, they disconnected and ran, leaving the later content unspoken.

Upon reviewing the original post content, Wen Yan felt that this person probably didn’t even intend to name names, just wanted to stir trouble and watch the chaos unfold.

It seemed like many words but said nothing at all.

Yet, for those with the capability and willingness to pursue, it might indeed be a lead.

Following the thread could eventually lead to Wen Yan.

Wen Yan’s whereabouts weren’t a deeply kept secret, and those intent on finding him could still find leads.

Even someone with a little bit of authority could easily find it without involving the Scorching Sun Department. Secretly checking his phone’s general location through the telecom carrier or using some apps wasn’t impossible.

Wen Yan then noticed the opinions of some experts in the Scorching Sun Department.

He ignored the conventional opinions but noted one last input, suggesting the post was the Scorching Sun Department’s own release to mislead and distract.

There was a parenthesis following this note, initially blacked out, but he could view it with his access level.

The content inside the parenthesis said the post was issued by Cai Qidong’s account, with the device and account belonging to Cai Qidong.

For some reason, seeing this conspiracy-laden statement paired with Cai Qidong’s name struck Wen Yan as highly plausible. It might indeed be Cai Heizi secretly digging a ditch and stirring trouble.

Especially since this forum’s server had been quietly transferred from the Server Domain to their servers by the Scorching Sun Department, yet they couldn’t trace the poster.

This made Wen Yan even more convinced that the person was most likely someone from the Scorching Sun Department.

Such a sneaky move to build animosity against him, it was probably Cai Heizi.

Thinking of this, Wen Yan checked the time and decided to ask tomorrow since confirming wasn’t very urgent.

As he was about to put away his phone, a new alert appeared.

In a city several kilometers away, a rat demon voluntarily surrendered, providing some information.
