I am your natural enemy

In Duanzhou, Cai Qidong looked at the newly sent intelligence information with a sinking face.

A lot of manpower has been invested in these days, and it is almost a blanket investigation. It has been completely confirmed that a large number of poisonous mushroom incidents have occurred in Weizhou, Duanzhou, and Xingzhou.

Not only was there something wrong with the chef's method, but there were also missing key ingredients or key steps, and ordinary people didn't even think there was anything wrong.

He looked at his lunch box and looked at the so-called salt-baked chicken inside, and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. However, according to the corresponding old records, it was indeed not done this way before, and he didn't like eating it this way.

He looked through the records and found the highlighted paragraph.

Here is a record of a Tianfu restaurant in Decheng. There are two ways to prepare a dish of boiled beef in the restaurant.

Those who splash oil and those who don’t.

After in-depth investigation, it was found that Wen Yan went to the restaurant and had a dispute with the chef over this dish. The restaurant owner was a better person and felt that when a dish reaches the local area, it must be modified locally to better suit local tastes.

So after trying it twice, I added an extra method to the dish to cater to people who can tolerate spicy food.

The time when Wen Yan argued with the cook was already after the soul-eating beast arrived.

Later, he found out about the surveillance of the vegetable market. Wen Yan couldn't bear it at the time, so he bought a lot of corresponding seasonings with clear goals, and the brands of seasonings he chose were all authentic.

It can be clearly concluded that Wen Yan was not affected by the soul-eating beast like everyone in these three states.

Cai Qidong looked at this newly discovered small detail and felt that this was normal.

It is very reasonable for a soulless person who can enter the old icehouse to be immune to the soul-devouring beast.

He took out another folder from the side, which recorded other areas within a hundred miles of sealing.

In addition to the areas within the chemical plant, there is another area that is completely inaccessible.

They have been searching for a long time, searching for various clues to mark the area where the "souls" were devoured. It is certain that the soul-eating beast is in Duanzhou.

But no traces have been found. The most likely possibility at present is that the Soul-Eating Beast is in a certain area in Duanzhou.

These newly discovered areas have the greatest potential.

Cai Qidong wondered if he could find a suitable reason to increase Wen Yan's authority?

…

After sending Feng Yao away, Wen Yan started to read the information.

According to the information, the Duanzhou Chemical Plant has been sealed off, along with dozens of miles around it, on the pretext that the chemical plant leaked.

There were actually no people in the large area around it. Fortunately, the chemical plant was far away from the residential area.

In the chemical plant, there is a second-category field that does not overlap with reality. This preliminary information has not been completed yet, and it will definitely not be Wen Yan's turn.

But within that large area, other fields were discovered. There were three fields that overlapped with reality. They couldn't enter. They tried various methods but couldn't find the rules for entering. They could only find Wen Yan. Come help me explore.

Wen Yan took a quick look and found that the marked area was far away from the city. There were no people there before, and there was only one B\u0026B that was still operating there.

But since the chemical plant accident, the B\u0026B has closed down and everyone has moved away.

The most likely place for problems is in this B\u0026B.

Wen Yan's mission is to conduct preliminary intelligence exploration if he can enter this field.

The Lieyang Department has tried various methods so far, such as booking a room in a B\u0026B, buying an unoccupied old house in the same area, issuing documents, driving, walking, day and night, etc., but they are unable to enter.

There was really no choice but to invite Wen Yan.

Theoretically, as long as Wen Yan is within the domain when it appears, he can enter directly.

He studied the information carefully here and prepared to take on the field work.

Because Wen Yan had asked about poisonous mushrooms before, Feng Yao didn't make it clear. He only said that they were already investigating. On a deeper level, Feng Yao simply said that he couldn't continue talking about the regulations.

The reason why I can give Wen Yan a little mention is because Wen Yan is a person involved and was hospitalized due to poisoning. This has solved an area. Of course, more importantly, I still feel that Wen Yan will have to be promoted sooner or later.

Wen Yan didn't listen to the deeper part, but he also had his own guess in his heart.

He felt that the Lieyang Department seemed to know about the Soul-Eating Beast.

The more you learn, the more you understand that the Lieyang Department has limited manpower and material resources, and things are done according to priority.

Last time, just some people were poisoned after eating uncooked mushrooms, and the Lieyang Department had already invested a lot of resources. Even if it was the season for eating mushrooms in previous years, the publicity was not as fierce as those days. It was a reminder without any blind spots. to everyone.

Later, the scope of the investigation was obviously expanded.

The two members of the Lieyang Department who had followed Feng Yao before, as well as the two who had followed and supervised the fierce fire, were all sent to do related things.

This gave Wen Yan the opportunity to leave the jumping corpse behind.

Wen Yan heard Zhang Laoxi say that the Great Zhizhi evolves very quickly, and if it is left unchecked, the consequences will be dire.

But even so, the priority is not as high as the follow-up investigation of the poisonous mushroom incident.

Cai Qidong, who landed in Nanwu County and took over the Lieyang Department of Nanwu County, did not stay in Yuzhou, the most prosperous city in Nanwu County. These days, his activities range from Weizhou to Duanzhou.

Recently, even Yuzhou's resources are being mobilized to Duanzhou, and he knows this.

There were too many clues, and the only one Wen Yan could think of that had such a high priority might be the Soul-Eating Beast.

Even now, an area that is inaccessible still requires help from a newcomer like him, which shows that the Lieyang Department is very short of manpower.

He didn't believe that no one in the Lieyang Department could enter a small area. There must be other ways, or other people, but they couldn't get out now.

Wen Yan also wants to know where the soul-eating beast is.

He had an inexplicable feeling in the past two days that the Soul-Eating Beast was evolving and had already established a firm foothold and passed the initial stage.

He didn't know why he suddenly felt this way, but he felt that it must be true.

From the current point of view, the Lieyang Department must not have found it. He felt that the Lieyang Department was so anxious and asked him to explore in a small area, and most likely it was related to the Soul-Eating Beast.

It's possible that the Soul-Eating Beast might be hiding in some realm.

In the past few days, Quemao had not received any signal, and Mo Zhicheng had disappeared without contacting it. Wen Yan felt that he had better do something. He couldn't lie down.

The Soul-Eating Beast is evolving and can still evolve. This is not good news.

Wen Yan put down the information, and all he could think about was that the Soul-eating Beast was now eating the "soul" of delicious food. If it could evolve, he didn't even dare to think about what it would eat in the future.

While he was thinking about it, Zhang Laoxi's car stopped outside, and he entered the courtyard carrying a box half as tall as a man.

"Wen Yan, don't you want to practice martial arts? I have found the most suitable one for you."

Before he entered the door, Zhang Laoxi waved to him with excitement.

Wen Yan was overjoyed and stepped forward quickly.

"Brother, is there anything suitable for me? I'm so dizzy reading those books these days. I'm afraid I won't be able to learn them."

"Don't worry, it's absolutely simple. I've been practicing it since I was a child. Everyone in Fuyu Mountain knows it. It's called Lieyang Fist."

"I'm not from Fuyu Mountain, is it appropriate? Do I need to become a disciple?"

"It's appropriate. Grand Master's uncle said that times have changed. Whoever can learn can learn from it. As for becoming a disciple, no need. Fuyu Mountain doesn't have so many rules. You are a person who knows the burning sun..."

"I……"

"I understand, I understand. This ability is innate. Don't worry, you can learn and practice. It will definitely suit you. You don't need to be a disciple. I will just be your guide."

With unconcealable joy in his eyebrows, Zhang Laoxi handed a printed booklet to Wen Yan.

"This is all translated and compared with the original text. It is absolutely easy to understand and the description is precise. I will give you some guidance so that you can easily get started."
