I Am Your Natural Enemy

The internal staff of the Scorching Sun Department, of course, knows there’s something wrong, so they initiate another alternative translation method.

Convert the captured photos into another form of drawing, starting from the simplest stick figure drawings.

Transforming into images is riskier than text, but when there’s no other way, one can only take the risk.

Starting from the most basic stick figures, transforming upwards, at the highest level, it means recreating a photo based on the original one, which also increases the risk step by step.

Soon, the internal staff saw a comic-style drawing of people, some wearing ordinary clothes, and others dressed in firefighting outfits, all looking up towards the flames.

There are also some people moving towards the direction of the river.

On the riverbank, many people were lying haphazardly, and there were people seen in the water too, with a grotesque and frightening giant turtle standing on the water surface.

At first glance, it looked like brave villagers were fighting a life-and-death battle against the turtle demon on the water.

The turtle demon was spewing something, slaughtering the villagers.

The internal staff ignored the photo generated by the clueless AI, which indeed couldn’t understand that the turtle demon might be rescuing people.

But the internal staff knows that there are three water demons in this long stretch of river, imitating Duanzhou’s river dolphin, as they want to accumulate merit to become a Water God.

Besides the low probability of the water demon clashing with people who fell into the water, they are indeed diligently doing good deeds.

Sometimes, they even proactively hang trickle fish onto the lines of fishermen who couldn’t catch any, resulting in the increase of fish-feeding fishermen in the past two months.

Thus, the internal staff directly ignored the possibility of water demons fighting with the villagers.

Then there was an image showing not only a ferocious turtle demon but also a thick giant snake, raising its head menacingly on the water surface.

With the appearance of two water demons, the possibility of a fight could be completely ruled out.

Only the last possibility remains, where the villagers are collectively jumping into the river under some influence.

And those two water demons are desperately rescuing the people jumping into the river.

Through multi-angled drone photography and comprehensive analysis, the preliminary result is that there is something bizarre above the flames or that the flames themselves possess something strange, drawing the attention of everyone who sees them.

Once seen, one is affected, and even after no longer seeing it, the influence doesn’t fade.

Meanwhile, the two water demons in the river, possibly shielded by a levee, haven’t seen what’s there, thus remaining unaffected.

Although such an incident hasn’t happened before, similar occurrences have occurred.

The internal staff quickly completes the analysis, uploads the intelligence, and hands it over to the field agents already en route.

After receiving the intelligence, one of the cars appeared as the Death-Defying Squad, stepping on the gas first to enter the incident site, while other field agents began blocking the perimeter, controlling more people from heading to the site.

The field agents in the Death-Defying Squad car looked solemn, putting on specially made tactical goggles through which everything seen would undergo translation projected inside the goggles, avoiding any potential bizarre effects triggered by direct sight.

Upon reaching the location, someone immediately got out, surveying the surroundings with the special goggles as the first wave of probing.

The probing results were promising, maintaining rationality, and once confirmed effective, others in the car began to disembark.

They took out new goggles, provided them to firefighters, but no effect occurred. They commenced relocating the crowd further away from the fire source.

Field agents approaching from the rear, upon receiving the intelligence, also donned special goggles and quickly neared.

Everything proceeded according to the corresponding emergency plan, with slight adjustments, executing rescue tasks at a high efficiency.

As more people were progressively controlled, the swirling flames inside the paper money workshop, which grew stronger and more intense, began to morph in shape, accelerating in speed.

Inside the workshop, yet-to-be ignited paper money flew out in a rustling sound, swept out by the airflow, darting out of the workshop.

The rustling sound spread with the roaring flames, as the swirling flames soared over ten meters high, gradually revealing a humanoid figure.

The sound of numerous paper money rustling closely resembled someone rapidly counting money.

The sounds dispersed, like countless shuffling bugs, relentlessly boring into everyone’s ears.

The already affected people suddenly became agitated, their previously dull expressions turned savage, like someone was snatching their hard-earned money, they began actively attacking Scorching Sun Department’s field agents.

While the field agents, hearing those sounds, suffered from increasing hallucinations, their consciousness seemingly dragged by something, headed towards downfall.

Gradually, even the field agents, whose wills were much firmer than ordinary people, began finding it hard to withstand.

Information constantly returned, escalating the incident’s priority continuously.

Above the workshop, the flames gradually coalesced; the roaring flame sound slowly started sounding like someone was bellowing.

”My money! My money!”

Over a hundred kilometers away, Wen Yan was resting, with Little Fire Seed’s two little hands clutching his hair, sleeping soundly along.

Little Fire Seed groggily opened its eyes, shook Wen Yan’s hair, waking Wen Yan up, then pointed westwards, gesturing wildly, trying to express something.
