I Am Your Natural Enemy

The Great Demon took out his phone, logged into his account, and carefully checked the messages from the past two days, repeatedly confirming there was nothing worth noting.

He scratched his head, feeling like there was a cat clawing inside his mind, unable to sit still.

After all these years, he still understood this fellow of his kind.

This fellow, in contemporary terms, was of the same category but a different class and different species.

He knew that years ago, Su Mu seemed to have been suppressed, and later it appears she was hit by some curse, reborn as a human, trapped within a human body, with no hope of liberation.

There are only two things that could cause his fellow to lose composure.

One was related to portals, and the other was that Su Mu had found the person she was searching for.

As for other matters, from what he knew about Su Mu, even if the Old Celestial Master stood in front of her, it probably wouldn’t make her lose composure to such an extent.

The Great Demon was somewhat familiar with modern rules, realizing things are different now compared to before.

The current rules place more importance on the rules themselves; the Scorching Sun Department operates, under normal circumstances, to resolve a matter while paying the smallest price and causing the least disturbance.

Since Su Mu hasn’t violated the current rules, even if the Old Celestial Master discovered her identity, he likely wouldn’t do anything to her.

He understood this, and so did Su Mu.

Because he understood Su Mu’s temperament too well, the Great Demon couldn’t wait any longer after half a day; he needed to confirm things.

He possessed a human, wore an N95 mask, ensuring nobody would realize anything.

He traveled by car from the Mountain City to Xiao Xiang County, circling around the area of Su Mu’s Home without sensing anything.

Not willing to give up, he took binoculars to look from a tall building, and saw Su Mu attending school normally.

At this point, he fully confirmed that Su Mu certainly hadn’t clashed with the Scorching Sun Department.

But then, he noticed across the street from the school, seeing two seemingly normal individuals, standing outdoors with coffee cups on a cold winter day, chatting like old acquaintances who met by fate.

And once Su Mu entered the school, the two quickly got into a car in the alley, driving away.

The Great Demon, holding binoculars, watched as that ordinary car entered the Scorching Sun Department’s local base, and chuckled aloud.

Indeed, although the Scorching Sun Department doesn’t have many top experts, they are quite dependable in matters other than peak battles, and they truly traced back to Su Mu.

Alright, alright, let’s see what Su Mu will do next.

To avoid detection, the Great Demon stayed several streets away, using only blurry binoculars, thereby confirming Su Mu, just staying within the boundary.

He remained in the hotel for half a day, seeing Su Mu attend school normally and return home normally, unable to wait any longer.

Watching Su Mu board the bus from afar, caution led him not to meet Su Mu directly; he left quietly.

Confirmed one point, he needed to verify another aspect.

He drove away from the city, heading north through the northern part of Xiao Xiang County, making his way to Guanzhong County.

Meanwhile, in the Scorching Sun Department’s big data monitoring system, data concerning the person possessed by the Great Demon began being evaluated internally.

Arriving at Su Mu’s small town on a weekday, not visiting tourist attractions, stayed in a hotel for half a day, ordered delivery, then immediately drove away, continuing northward, crossing a commandery to reach Guanzhong County.

This triggers the current alarm conditions.

Nonetheless, the system automatically determined this person poses no risk, deemed normal range.

Because this individual is an online writer, having just completed a book a few days ago, informing others half a month ago of plans to travel and explore different places in the next two months.

Arriving at a place and not visiting attractions, only staying in a hotel, fits past behavioral patterns.

The AI automatically assessed, concluding low risk needs no escalation, no need for tiered reporting, merely logging the activity.

The person chosen by the Great Demon for actions was meticulously selected, being the most suitable among backup targets.

He came to a university city north of Guanzhong County City, sitting at a street corner café, waiting until afternoon class dismissal before leaving the café and arriving at the school gate, gazing at the crowd.

After a long while, he noticed a boy wearing a white coat, glasses, holding several books, moving with the crowd.

He stared at him for a long time, took out a phone, and sent a message.

”Old Ma, I’m at the university town now.”

Amid the crowd, the boy wearing glasses glanced at his phone, immediately stopping to reply.

”Damn, that fast, weren’t you in Xiao Xiang County this morning?”

”Nothing fun there, food was too spicy, couldn’t get used to it, came to Guanzhong County for a change.”

”Where are you? I just finished a class here, have an anatomy class tonight. Are you in a hurry, or should I take a day off tomorrow?”

”No rush, I’m just wandering around, came to see you. I’m near your school gate, east gate.”

The Great Demon, wearing a mask, had a smile in his eyes.

Soon, he met with the boy wearing glasses.

He reached out, patting the other’s shoulder, exchanged a glance, and an imperceptible power flew from the other’s eyes back into the Great Demon’s eyes.
