I Am Your Natural Enemy

Wen Yan returned to Virtue City and only reported the information he obtained to the General Director alone; he did not continue to pursue it further.

Even though the response from the Mazu Empress suggested she didn’t mind him continuing to investigate.

But he personally went to take a look, reviewed the materials, and with Mazu Empress’s protection, he felt that regardless of what that girl named Su Mu was, at least she was behaving properly.

Otherwise, if she could deceive the Mazu Empress into giving her protection, it would mean she was exceptionally troublesome, so it might be best not to disrupt the status quo—maintaining it was fine.

Moreover, Wen Yan didn’t think that if she could deceive Mazu Empress, she would still dare to come to Nanwu County.

In other places, Wen Yan couldn’t say, but in East Nanwu County and the neighboring Haidong Prefecture, Mazu Empress’s support was truly strong, even Uncle’s place has a Mazu arbitration room.

After the accelerated Spiritual Qi Resurgence, there’s a dedicated office for Mazu Empress in the Scorching Sun Department in Haidong Prefecture, where they handle cases.

Thus, the efficiency of handling many cases exclusive to the Scorching Sun Department becomes significantly higher.

Just like the Guanzhong County’s Scorching Sun Department, which has to set up a special demolition office to align with local needs.

Wen Yan finished reporting and continued to rest. Initially, he wanted to ask the General Director for an account to check out the secret flooding forum, but the General Director told Wen Yan to get an invite code from an expert in the Scorching Sun Department and enter normally, without leaving traces by using shortcuts.

Wen Yan flipped through his contacts and found the canine-related expert in the Scorching Sun Department, sent a message.

Then, after two minutes, the other party sent him a URL and an eighteen-digit invite code.

He entered the URL, jumped a few times, pasted the invite code, and finally got into the forum.

Upon entering, he saw that expert Bao was online debating with someone.

The topic was whether dogs should be categorized under humans’ classification, including the canine family, or just as canines, or only counted within the species of wolves.

Given this, we are also a wolf species, so should wolves be considered dogs?

And then there’s the question of why we should use humans’ classifications.

When Wen Yan clicked in, the argument had already reached over four hundred posts.

Wen Yan glanced over, estimating that among those arguing, besides that French Bulldog expert Bao, there was also a Wolf Demon and seemingly one who sounded like a Werewolf.

This was just the right atmosphere for Wen Yan, matching the usual forum vibe he was familiar with; only the topics were different, but the feel was identical.

There were many people matching themselves up; like the one who seemed to be a Werewolf, immediately joined in the debate when someone pointed out, ”Is a Werewolf considered human or wolf, and if wolf, then is a Werewolf considered a dog?”

After reading a couple hundred posts, for a moment, Wen Yan felt unsure.

Was this expert Bao genuinely debating, or just arguing for the sake of it, or leading topics to pull others into the fray?

He could roughly infer from the posts what at least a dozen characters in there were.

The experts in the Scorching Sun Department definitely had access to more information.

Wen Yan took a general look and combined it with other information, and could roughly deduce that the Werewolf was from Europa and could even pinpoint its location using the existing information from the Scorching Sun Department.

He could also see that from the records, three days ago, a Werewolf from Europa had a clash with the Church, and the official news said that a Werewolf base was wiped out and suffered heavy losses. It should be fake news, the internal story was definitely not that way.

Otherwise, this Werewolf wouldn’t be idling here arguing, seemingly very relaxed and in a good mood, occasionally hinting that the Church took a big hit.

Now Wen Yan understood why the Scorching Sun Department had secretly added a special server for this hidden forum, subtly controlling it.

The sources here were chaotic, but there were certainly many clues and valuable information.

Most importantly, everyone thought this place was extremely safe, with fewer inhibitions, especially when venting, people really let loose.

Wen Yan flipped through carefully, found several posts in addition to this currently hottest post that might be related to him.

”The true identity of Tuoba Martial God, ten thousand Gold Coins, those interested come.”

”One hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred Gold Coins, deceiving Sima.”

He opened these posts, none of which were very popular; inside, everyone cursed the poster, saying they were trying to scam forum Gold Coins, but the posts were not deleted, only marked as misinformation transacting and docked the forum Gold Coins for posting in the wrong section.

Wen Yan flipped back twenty to thirty pages, and found surprisingly dozens of similar posts, the most popular being the earliest one.

But in the thread, buyers directly cursed, saying the poster was selling misleading fake news.

”qnmd, Sima poster, you just have to exit the Big Intersection to see the Tuoba Martial God, do you even hear the nonsense you’re saying?!”

Wen Yan noted down the poster’s ID, thinking to himself, is there really someone tracing it back to him?

Or are these Scorching Sun Department people stirring trouble?

No wonder someone immediately cursed when similar news was posted earlier.

Wen Yan mused a bit, regardless of whether it’s true, what if someone really believed it? Better to prepare in advance.

He continued flipping through, finding that in the comprehensive section, there wasn’t anything particularly noteworthy.
