I Am Your Natural Enemy

Picking up the person from the ground, he walked towards the outside of the mountains.

Not far out, a helicopter flew overhead.

Wen Yan left the mountains in the helicopter and first took the possessed person to the hospital.

The examination results came out, showing no detectable trauma. Shortly after arriving at the hospital, the person awoke but seemed dazed and unmoving, simply lying there.

Wen Yan came to the ward, raised the bed, and unfolded the Sage Diagram before the person.

The moment the person laid eyes on the Sage Diagram, a section of it began to move, revealing elements formed by the accumulated power borne of desires over two thousand years by the Five Desires Demon.

Waves of smoke emanated, settling into the eyes of the person on the bed, gradually infusing them with a hint of life.

Wen Yan now roughly understood how the Sage Diagram treated those with lost minds.

Over two thousand years, the Five Desires Demon had harmed countless individuals, even if only as a stepping stone, absorbing power borne of desires.

The Five Desires Demon held nearly every type of desire power.

Especially for those harmed by the Five Desires Demon, it certainly possessed the missing part of their desires.

The vast accumulation over two thousand years was overwhelming—a mere drizzle when replenishing those with lost minds.

As the movement in the Sage Diagram returned to normal, Wen Yan carefully put away the Sage Diagram, turned, and left, believing this person would recover.

In crowded places, it was impossible to trap the Five Desires Demon—the more people, the less feasible. The demon was cautious, only jumping into traps believing it was of its own design.

Someone along the way was bound to be possessed—this couldn’t be stopped. If left unresolved, with Spiritual Qi Resurgence, it was uncertain how many more this demon would harm.

Now, Wen Yan felt some regrets alleviated.

Not in a hurry to do anything else, Wen Yan informed the General Director, then took the Sage Diagram to continue visiting each person harmed by the Five Desires Demon, healing their lost minds.

During the demon’s rampant exits, the Scorching Sun Department couldn’t anticipate its path, but now, with more complete information, finding those affected by lost minds became easier.

For three consecutive days, Wen Yan didn’t return home. After making rounds, he returned to Xiao Xiang County, to the neighborhood where Su Mu’s Home was located.

The last patient was the old neighbor woman from Su Mu’s Home.

With the cooperation of the Scorching Sun Department Field Agents, he easily entered her home and unfolded the Sage Diagram before the dazed, blank-faced woman.

”From beginning to end, since you began, let it end with you; everything is past.”

When the Sage Diagram ceased movement, Wen Yan pinched the Tao Finger, blessing the old woman with Yang Energy from afar.

Turning to leave, the woman’s dazed eyes gradually gained spiritual light, transforming into their original calm look.

She blinked, and everything around her seemed to come alive as she began feeling a bit hungry, wanting to eat, to tend to the garden she took care of daily, to call her child and ask if they would come home for a meal on the weekend...

She did not lose her memories but the past few days felt dreamlike, surreal, like seeing flowers in the mist, both real and unreal.

She vaguely remembered Wen Yan entering, feeling somewhat unclear, only recalling his gaze, uncertain of the words spoken, experiencing an awakening akin to remembering yet seemingly forgetting a dream.

Standing up, she looked around, feeling a semblance of ambiguity similar to waking up at dusk, unable to distinguish evening from morning.

Picking up her phone, she checked the home surveillance, seeing nothing but her family, seemingly out due to something related to property management, while she remained still in her spot, staring blankly, nothing else was recorded.

She saw the time, then noticed the flowers in the yard wilting, realizing several days seemed to have truly passed.

Now, she felt warmth in her body, her legs and feet warming, a gentle warmth consistently circulating through her body.

The aunt was not uncultured, having experienced many things; she deeply believed something certainly happened, that a person with eyes of light appeared, aiding in her recovery.

But she couldn’t clearly recall the person’s appearance; only the distinctive gaze became etched in memory.

At that moment, her family returned, seeing the aunt watering plants and tidying the garden leaves, nearly bursting into tears from joy.

Once informed of events from the past few days, the aunt, recalling the blank surveillance, decisively went to her room to burn three incense sticks, approaching the front door, uttering words of gratitude repeatedly, thanking whichever deity intervened.

Nearby at Su Mu’s Home, Su Mu glanced curiously toward the noisy neighbors, puzzled by how Wen Yan managed to heal those whose desires were consumed by the Great Demon.

Su Mu didn’t ask, believing it to be a positive development.

Wen Yan’s ability to achieve such feats, while relaxed enough to visit for tea, signaled resolved matters.

”The rules for the Five Desires Demon were revealed to the Scorching Sun Department by you, weren’t they?”
