I am your natural enemy

The next day, at around ten o'clock in the morning, Wen Yan received the package from Lieyang Department Logistics.

A delicate sandalwood box with nine wax-sealed pills neatly stacked inside.

The moment he opened the box, Wen Yan smelled a fresh aroma, which cheered him up.

There was also a note inside that said.

"Nourishing Yin and Nourishing Soul Pills nourishes the mind and moisturizes the soul, stabilizes the mind, strengthens the body, and channels the five qi in the body. It is often used to assist the Yin Shen in leaving the body."

Wen Yan knew at a glance that this was something suitable for Zhang Laoxi's symptoms.

He thought that Prince Zhu had sent some local specialties to the courier, but he had forgotten that these people were sending things and basically always used the logistics channels of Lieyang Department.

This thing is worth a lot at first glance. Anyway, as long as it is something that may have an effect on the soul, nothing is cheap.

Especially if it can be used by living people, it is even less likely to be cheap.

Yes, it is exactly what Grandma Fox said. Although Prince Zhu has a bad temper, he is fastidious in his work and has good face.

He had never heard of these pills and knew they must be valuable.

After thinking for a while, he took out Lieyangbu's mobile phone and searched in the database.

Then I saw this thing in the exchange list of the Lieyang Department.

The introduction was much more detailed than the small note included in the box given by Prince Zhu.

It is said that this is a top-notch healing medicine. In addition to the effect of treating internal injuries and detoxification to a certain extent, the most important thing is that it can stabilize the soul, warm the soul, and slightly heal the soul damage of the living person, especially for those who have separated their souls from the body. Similar symptoms have miraculous effects.

It is said, irresponsibly, that a certain emperor named Zhu got a recipe from a predecessor and improved it himself, making it what it is now.

It is also said that he gave all the experimental products in the improvement process to the ministers below, and he did not eat them himself.

Anyway, these yin-nourishing soul pills are all flowing out from the hands of Prince Zhu.

There is no fixed number per year, it depends on your mood.

I don’t know how many of them the Lieyang Department can get their hands on.

There is this thing on the exchange list within the Lieyang Department. Wen Yan's current authority and merit are actually enough to redeem it. Unfortunately, this thing is always out of stock all year round.

Occasionally, one or two will be released from time to time. It all depends on luck and chance. Whoever comes across it and can exchange it will belong to him.

Wen Yan looked at the price and was a little stunned. Good guy, as expected, life-saving things are not cheap.

For the price of one pill, he would have to kill Ah Piao in the inpatient department nine more times.

According to the meritorious service he obtained, it was several times more than what a normal field worker would obtain in one incident. Generally, only the meritorious service accumulated by a field worker dozens of times would be enough to redeem it once.

No wonder Feng Yao said before that the most worthless thing in Lieyang Department is cash.

There are many, many other things that even money cannot buy.

Prince Zhu gave him nine pills at once, which was really generous.

Gifts reciprocate. Even if a knife comes from the sky next month, he will have to go to Guanzhong County to congratulate Prince Zhu on his birthday. He also has to think about what gift to give him. He can't be too casual.

Wen Yan called Qin Kun and asked Qin Kun again.

The things in the information are still not accurate, so it would be better to ask for details.

After asking, Wen Yan was sure that this thing was indeed very precious. There were ordinary healing medicines, cheap and expensive, but those related to the soul were indeed not precious.

Wen Yan put the box away, took three pills, and put them in another box.

Then he took out another box and put three more pills in it.

In the end, there were only three left, which I kept at home.

If you send three of them, give them to the seventh master's uncle and ask him to take them back.

This thing is unique and exclusive. Buyeosan doesn’t have it, so let’s send it to Buyeosan.

Give three pills to Zhang Laoxi. Zhang Laoxi really needs this thing. Zhang Laoxi worked hard to get this pill.

When I arrived at the hospital, I looked at Zhang Laoxi lying on the hospital bed, drinking lean meat porridge. He felt in good spirits, but he was still a little sluggish, as if he was too sleepy to wake up.

He handed the box to Zhang Laoxi.

"Take one pill every three days."

"what?"

"Nourishing Yin and Nourishing Soul Pills."

"ah?"

"Farewell, Prince Zhu gave them to me. I still have them for myself and for the elders. These three are yours."

As soon as Wen Yan opened his mouth, he blocked what Zhang Laoxi wanted to say.

After Wen Yan opened the box, he casually pinched open the wax seal of one of the boxes.

"Eat quickly."

Zhang Laoxi smelled the fragrance, and his dark eyes became brighter, with a look of distress on his face.

"I can just keep it up and it will be fine. There will be no problem. I don't need this thing. It's such a waste..."

"I've already opened it. Just tell me whether you want to eat it or not."

Zhang Laoxi swallowed the pill with a painful look on his face, not daring to open his mouth for fear that some of the medicine would be released and wasted.

After waiting for a long time, he drank several mouthfuls of water to swallow the remaining medicinal gas, and then he sighed.

"I heard that several kinds of herbs used in this nourishing yin and nourishing soul pills are only available from Prince Zhu, and only those cured there are effective.

I have heard before that some people wanted to transplant some to see if they could be cultivated, but unfortunately, they were able to survive, but to no avail.

This thing is extremely expensive. How much it can produce every year depends on Prince Zhu’s mood. "

"Have a good rest and don't think too much. You deserve this."

Wen Yan chatted with Zhang Laoxi for a few words and saw that Zhang Laoxi was drowsy. Watching him fall asleep, Wen Yan turned and left.

Then we stopped by the hospice care ward. There were many new faces here that we had never seen before. When Wen Yan came in, there were people who didn't recognize Wen Yan.

The little girl at the door was also very stubborn and wanted Wenyan to register which patient she was visiting.

Wen Yan had no choice but to write Goswell.

After entering, when he arrived at the door of a ward, he saw Gauss wearing a black robe today, with a solemn and sacred face, holding a patient's hand with both hands, and whispering comforting words in his mouth, becoming more and more professional.

"The Lord will forgive you. You must learn to let go, relax, and fall into the arms of the Lord."

Wen Yan's eyelids twitched wildly, this guy...

After waiting for half an hour, the old man on the hospital bed smiled and closed his eyes. Then Gauss walked out with a sacred look on his face and brought Wen Yan to his personal office.

Entering the office, Gauss took off his priest's robe and hung it in the closet.

"What are you..."

"The patient just now is a believer in the church. Of course I have to follow the patient's wishes."

"It's a good thing you're in China, otherwise you'd probably be in trouble."

"I am originally a devil. It is my duty to disguise myself and infiltrate other churches."

"..."

Gauss seemed to still be recalling his feelings just now. It was obvious that he, the pain devil, had never done such a thing before.

…

In the western part of Nanwu County, on the edge of Luoyue County, the excavation work of Lieyang Department continues.

Every time the Kingdom of Shadows appears, it must be treated with caution, and this time is no different.

Ghosts are not like living people. Each ghost has flaws to a greater or lesser extent. Some parts of the character will be discarded, and some parts will be amplified.

Fierce ghosts are the most typical type. They are extremely ferocious and kill people more calmly than a chicken dealer kills chickens.

If a kingdom of ghosts appears and a large number of ghosts gather together, they may influence each other, causing their inner identity and sanity to continue to decline.

There had been a Night Parade of Hundreds of Ghosts in the island country next door before, with heavy casualties and a small city almost turned into ruins. However, the news reported that it was a major earthquake, and many people went to rescue at that time.

The Lieyang Department sent people to provide humanitarian relief, collect intelligence, gain experience and lessons, and make targeted preparations after returning.

The last time China planted the sun in the Kingdom of Shadows, it was because the miserable lesson next door had taught them before and they didn't dare to gamble at all.

It's the same this time. Regardless of whether there are not many ghosts in this country of ghosts, they have to intervene in advance.

Not far from the excavation site, a man with a mustache was holding a photo album.

He opened the photo album and looked at the photos inside, which were all photos of the excavation site. He looked at it for a long time, then closed it again and continued to open it. This time, when he opened it, there were new photos inside.

When he turned to the next page, one of the photos became pitch black, and the same was true for the next few pages.

When he turned to the next page, the photo was blurry, and he could see the vague shadow of the mountains.

Turning another page, the mountains kept approaching, and in the blurry darkness, only vague shadows could be seen, as if something was moving.

Turning another page, I saw clearly this time that it was a hand.

A hand with slender fingers and neatly manicured nails poked out from one of the photos, and with lightning speed, patted the bearded man on the forehead.

There was a hint of astonishment in the mustache's eyes, his pupils slowly dilated, his eyes gradually turned gray, and he became completely silent.

The next moment, time seemed to freeze. In the blink of an eye, Mustache took a deep breath, and the surrounding environment had changed.

He sat at a breakfast shop on the street, looked at the surrounding environment, got up and left.

The clock hanging in the store showed that it was past nine in the morning. He had just finished breakfast here, paid and was ready to leave.

After walking out of the store, Xiao Hu looked into the distance and sighed.

"It's a method of instant death.

Such overbearing power, one blow sent the soul flying, so fast that I didn’t even feel anything.

It's exactly what I thought, that place must be very interesting. "

He opened the photo album and looked at it. The photos inside showed the excavation site in full swing. With the support of large machinery, the progress was extremely fast.

This time, he did not continue to peek deeper, but just looked at the large machinery there. Then he put away the photo album and came to the hilltop diagonally opposite the construction site, squatting there to look at the newly delivered large machinery. I looked at it for a long time.

…

In the darkness, a figure lay on his side on the stone bed, his eyebrows lowered, sleeping quietly.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and stretched out his right hand.

The thumb of his right hand was completely bare, and a palm print disappeared below it.

And he also felt a sense of exhaustion welling up in his heart.

He frowned slightly and sensed it carefully for a moment, but didn't sense anything strange.

But he was certain that he had taken action and used killing techniques.

He got up and went outside the house, looked around, stretched out his left hand to calculate, but found nothing.

At that moment, I suddenly felt tired, and there were traces of having used killing techniques.

After thinking carefully, he raised his head and looked into the distance, suddenly feeling that it was better to be more cautious.

…

On the other side, Wen Yan woke up groggy and received a courier call.

After getting the express delivery, he looked at the sandalwood box in front of him and had a unique feeling. Could it be a pill inside?

After opening it, he saw nine wax-sealed pills inside. He smiled. Sure enough, it was this. Prince Zhu was really particular.

I divided three boxes, took the boxes to the hospital, gave Zhang Laoxi three pills, then went to the hospice ward, and then chatted with Gauss.

Wen Yan felt that sense of déjà vu getting stronger and stronger.

It was as if he had dreamed of this scene in his dream.

He had seen it before. This kind of déjà vu seemed to be called the hippocampus effect.

It is said that many people have experienced similar things. At a certain moment, they always feel as if they have experienced it before and then again.

Sitting in Gauss's office, Wen Yan continued to talk casually.

"It's a good thing you're in China, otherwise you'd probably be in trouble."

Gauss also replied casually.

"I am originally a devil..."

As soon as Gauss opened his mouth, Wen Yan followed suit and said the next words in unison with him.

"It's your job to disguise yourself and break into other churches."

"It's your job to disguise yourself and break into other churches."

Gauss was startled for a moment, then immediately smiled and made Wen Yan a cup of tea.

"I knew it! You really understand me best!"

Gauss felt more and more that his choice was definitely correct. Even though he actually knew why Wen Yan told him what he said before, he didn't blame Wen Yan at all.

It even felt that Wen Yan's starting point was just to make him more honest, just to stop him from causing trouble, just to stop him from causing any big damage or chaos.

But that's not important. What's important is that Wen Yan really understands him.

These days, he goes to work during the day and never sleeps at night. He keeps reading various books and watching various videos.

He felt more and more that his previous thoughts were too simple, and his biggest source of pain at that time was actually that no one could understand his thoughts, but at that time, he did not understand this kind of pain.

Those pain demons don’t know anything.

It was Wen Yan who understood him best.

It doesn't matter whether you agree or not, as long as someone understands.

Gauss felt very happy, even more happy than suffering pain.

He also understood more and more the meaning of the slang term "want to sweeten with a little salt".

Wen Yan rubbed his head, wondering if it was because he had slept too late recently and kept up all night. Today he was woken up by a call from the courier again.

He remembered that it seemed to be that when the hippocampal effect occurs, it is most likely to occur when there are some problems with consciousness or cognition, or when someone is not clear-headed.

Whether within China or outside China, there are indeed many examples of people using psychedelic drugs or poisonous mushrooms to enter a psychedelic state for divination, and many of them have been documented.

And outside of China, this ancient method seems to be still popular in some places.

The last time I looked at the forum of the Sun Division, someone seemed to have posted a news about a witch who died after eating too many poisonous mushrooms at one time during a fortune-telling.

"I think I may not have slept well. Getting up early ruined the day. I have to go back and catch up on my sleep. You can continue."

Wen Yan rubbed his head and when he was about to leave, Gauss pulled Wen Yan back.

"Wait a minute, I have something else to ask you."

"What's up?"

"Can you lend me another five thousand yuan?"

"Ah..." Wen Yan suddenly woke up, widened his eyes, and looked up and down at Gauss.

"How did you spend it? Did you spend it all again?"

Gauss opened the closet. In addition to the church's classic priest attire, there were also various robes, monk's robes and other clothing from various sects.

"I used it to buy clothes. These clothes are really expensive. I originally planned to buy two sets to wear, but in the end I found that I only had enough to buy these few sets."

"You spent five thousand on just these few sets of shabby clothes?!"

"No, I only spent a thousand on the clothes.

I watched a video the other day, which said that when you first join the company, you need to build a good rapport with your colleagues, and you can’t just ignore everyone.

In the end, you will be isolated and it will be difficult to carry out your work.

I'm not afraid of being isolated, but if I don't do my job well, it won't work. "

"so what?"

"So, I treated my colleagues to a meal."

"In this place in Decheng, what can you eat for four thousand?! Seafood?"

"There seems to be seafood, but the portions are very small. What kind of cuisine is it called?"

Wen Yan suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Did you go to the restaurant on Center Street to eat island cuisine?"

"Yes, yes, this is it."

"..."

"I originally wanted to buy a set of clothes, but they didn't fit me well. I asked about it and found that making clothes was too expensive. My monthly salary was not even enough."

"..."

Wen Yan remained silent and transferred another five thousand to Gauss.

This guy looked like he was going to trample all the pitfalls in Decheng. He really couldn't stand it anymore.

After leaving the hospital, Wen Yan called Cai Qidong directly.

"Minister, I can't survive this life any longer."

"What happened again?" On the other side, Cai Qidong suddenly became alert.

"I finally convinced Gauss to work hard, not to use his power at other times, and to make money through my own labor.

But this guy has stepped into two pitfalls in just a few days.

Today I was cheated out of 4,000 yuan in an island restaurant again and came to me to borrow money to live on.

I see his behavior, and if he continues like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to count on him having the money to pay me back until I die.

Moreover, I estimate that within three days at most, he will have to borrow money from me again.

With my little salary, how could I withstand his defeat?

I really can't stand it anymore.

minister……"

"Stop, stop, that's it? Nothing else?"

"Gone."

"The ministry will reimburse you as much as you lend."

Bang, Cai Qidong hung up the phone angrily. For this matter, you just call the minister directly, okay?

Spending tens of thousands of dollars a month can stabilize a pain demon and make him work honestly. No matter how you look at it, it is a matter of hard work.
