I am your natural enemy

Chapter 7 Deviation
Lying on the hospital bed, Wen Yan looked expressionlessly at the small table at the end of the bed, where three three-inch-tall little people were dancing happily.

While dancing, one of the little people pulled from the side, and another little person appeared out of thin air. The four little people held hands and continued dancing.

Wen Yan stared at the new villain.

"I'm Dad Xie."

The villain ignored him and continued dancing. Wen Yanxin said, "If you ignore me, it must be another hallucination."

The little nurse on the side took a new sling bottle and changed it for Wen Yan, looking unconcerned. In comparison, Wen Yan's symptoms were already very mild.

Next to Wen Yan, He Jian and Cai Qidong, each with a hospital bed, were also hanging out.

When the nurse left and closed the door, Cai Qidong immediately sighed with an unlucky look.

"I shouldn't have eaten with you. I knew you were so bad that you would definitely hurt me."

"Can you rely on me for this matter? Have you checked it out? What is the situation?" He Jian slapped his thigh and retorted loudly. In that tone, he was somewhat lacking in confidence.

"We are already investigating, and what is certain now is that the old master definitely did not intend to poison us. If he wanted to poison us, wouldn't it be better to add some highly toxic fungi to it?"

"Then what's the situation?"

“The people here are basically sure that he really thinks his cooking is fine.

Something must have affected him.

But our people have tested it so far and have not found any trace of him being affected.

And everything in the restaurant is the same. "

Just as he was talking, Cai Qidong's phone rang. After he answered the phone, he frowned.

After a few minutes.

"Something happened. Now we can be absolutely sure that our poisoning was an accident and no one was targeting us."

"What happened?" He Jian sat up immediately.

"So far, poisoning incidents have occurred in six Yunnan restaurants in the three surrounding states, and this is not an isolated case.

The chefs who cooked the dishes were all masters who had been making fungi for at least 20 years. They didn’t think they had made a mistake, and we didn’t find any trace that they were affected by anything.

However, there were extremely serious deviations in their cognition.

If they were asked to do it again, the result would still not be completely rid of the toxicity.

With the facts before their eyes, they were asked to re-read the guide, readjust, and fry again, but they were able to quickly adjust based on their experience and fry it to be non-toxic.

Even though they knew afterwards that this method was non-toxic, they would still fall into entanglement and self-doubt, and they would still think that the previous cooking method was... orthodox. "

Wen Yan listened beside him, and the more he listened, the more familiar he felt.

This characteristic that has been lost but can be regained is just like that of the fat chef at Tianfu Restaurant.

Wen Yan went to that Tianfu restaurant twice more. For the sake of money, the boss asked the chef to cook it according to the method he said. When he went again, there was an extra oil-splashed version of boiled beef in the restaurant. Let customers choose.

The more Wen Yan thought about it, the more he realized it was the Soul-Eating Beast.

He had previously thought that the soul-eating beast no longer devoured human souls, but only devoured the "souls" of some delicious food. That was really acceptable.

But now it seems that something may happen to just the "soul" of devouring food.

Fortunately, the poisoning was not serious this time and I didn't eat puffer fish or anything like that.

Wen Yan was thinking about how to tell Cai Qidong in a more appropriate way some of the things he knew.

Cai Qidong is the head of the Lieyang Department in this county. According to the director, the Lieyang Department is the department that handles all abnormal situations. For example, the mummy phantom encountered in Decheng Funeral Home last time is within the jurisdiction of the Lieyang Department. Inside.

As for Decheng Funeral Home, in addition to undertaking the business of ordinary people, it will also assist the Lieyang Department to deal with some anomalies that need to be incinerated.

Including but not limited to various physical corpses, items that can be burned, sealed objects that seal incorporeal anomalies, etc.

It's just a bit troublesome to say how to say it.

He didn't want to say that I had a dream about a soul-eating beast, nor did he want many innocent people to die because of his concealment.

While he was thinking about it, Cai Qidong looked at Wen Yan, who was frowning.

"Wen Yan, what do you think?"

"Ah..." Wen Yan raised his head and looked at Cai Qidong. In his eyes, Cai Qidong's face seemed to be illuminated by colorful neon lights, with two little people squatting on his forehead and pulling colorful shit.

Wen Yan couldn't bear to look directly at him, his expression was constipated.

Cai Qidong did not ask what hallucination Wen Yan had seen and continued to ask. "What do you think this situation might be? Just say it and brainstorm. There is no right or wrong."

Wen Yan looked at the curator, who nodded towards the end of the bed.

"Xiao Wen, feel free to say what you think. The ideas of young people are definitely different from those of us old guys."

"I feel...like I've lost my soul."

"???" The curator and Cai Qidong, two middle-aged and elderly people, had question marks on their heads.

"It's what young people say. For example, in the song that is very popular on the Internet recently, the lead singer even sang with broken notes, but this broken note is the soul of the song. I can't explain it more specifically. That's it. Feel."

In fact, Cai Qidong still didn't fully understand, but he looked at He Jian staring thoughtfully at the end of the bed with a serious look on his face. Cai Qidong also nodded and wrote down Wen Yan's thoughts first.

That night, Cai Qidong confirmed that the problem was not too big and left the hospital. There were too many things waiting for him to deal with.

Back at the headquarters, Cai Qidong was sitting in his office, arranging work arrangements. In the evening news tonight, there will be news about mushroom poisoning, and then there will be tips on how to cook without being poisoned.

Everyone in the county will also receive text message reminders, and relevant departments will also conduct offline inspections tomorrow morning.

After the meeting was over, Cai Qidong looked at the agenda and saw that there were still matters to be dealt with and followed up on.

The first priority is the soul-eating beast.

The tips obtained with the help of rare objects at that time are also marked in detail below.

Characteristic [-]: Devour, devour the soul.

Cai Qidong looked at this line of writing and waved to his new secretary.

"Xiao Song, what does the soul that young people on the Internet often talk about mean?"

Cai Qidong explained it according to Wen Yan's explanation. Sure enough, the younger secretary understood it instantly and found him a video of a band's song. When he listened to it, sure enough, the lead singer's voice was broken.

But on the barrage, a lot of "broken sound is the soul" appeared.

Cai Qidong completely understood now. When singing the chorus, in order to show the indomitable spirit, the broken sound is not a shortcoming, but a very fitting finishing touch.

He looked at the contents of the first page of the document on the table and tapped his fingers lightly on the word soul.

"Xiao Song, tell me, is this soul the soul we understand?"

"Minister, you mean..." The secretary was a little stunned. Based on what Cai Qidong said just now, he could understand what Cai Qidong was referring to.

Cai Qidong's face was as sinking as water, and he seemed to be talking to himself.

“The soul-eating beast has definitely arrived, and we must not take any chances.

We haven't found it yet, and we haven't found anything unusual. It's just that we haven't found any abnormalities.

We were not as careless as the people in the southern hemisphere, and we still couldn't find any traces. It must be that we were going in the wrong direction.

In any case, any possible direction cannot be ignored at will.

Notify the meeting, let the young people in the department come, and no one is allowed to be absent. "

Half an hour later, Cai Qidong didn't leave the conference room. He continued to hang out here and have video conferences with people from the headquarters.

When other people who were called to the meeting saw this scene, no one dared to complain.

Cai Qidong looked solemn and knocked on the table.

"You all know what my mission here is, and I have gone out of my way to say hello to other departments. I will help when necessary.

Now, looking at the information before you, let's discuss a question.

Is the soul we understand exactly the same as the soul in the prompt?

Speak freely and say whatever comes to mind. "

At the end of the one-hour meeting, everyone whose thinking limitations were lifted re-examined the prompt. Various thoughts collided, and more and more directions were obtained.

After the meeting, Cai Qidong knocked on the table.

"In conjunction with today's scheduled actions, we will expand them and prioritize other chefs to investigate and see if they have any similar situations to those of today's chefs.

As for other directions, people are arranged to investigate at the same time. If there is any abnormality, report it as soon as possible. "
