I Am Your Natural Enemy-Chapter 308 - 139: Old Zhuโs Broken Sword, Stern Condemnation (5k)_3
These people are really a pain in the ass, always trying to mess up his cultivation. ๐๐ซ๐๐ฒ๐จ๐๐๐๐๐ฏ๐๐น.๐๐จ๐บ
Especially those Church folks, even more annoying.
Heโd heard Wen Yan mention it before, and heโd seen a few videos on his own phoneโdevils donโt just go around cursing people to hell for no reason.
Those foreign videos, their understanding of devils is way too stereotypedโitโs not like every devil loves to play with souls.
Sensing that the foreigner had already grabbed the pendant around his neck and was watching him warily, Gauss just couldnโt hold back anymore.
These past few days, heโd been behaving at work, and except for absorbing patientsโ pain, he hadnโt used any of his powers otherwise.
No, actually, even while working, he only absorbed painful energies; he didnโt even use those powers.
The people of Divine Land hadnโt forced him into anything, his coworkers were alright tooโthey even asked him for foot massages.
So why do these out-of-towners insist on coming all the way here, just to sabotage his cultivation?
Gauss watched as the guy not only refused to leave, but was now tailing him carefully from behind, and he knewโdamn it, all these days of hard cultivation are about to go down the drain.
Just yesterday, heโd seen a video about a demon: if you donโt use your powers and do 9,999 good deeds, you can achieve enlightenment.
But then, for the last three good deeds, he got forced to break his vowsโdecades of cultivation wasted just like that.
He read the commentsโpeople of Divine Land call this a "tribulation," something every cultivator inevitably encounters, and the closer you get to success, the more likely youโll run into it.
If you get through it, youโll attain enlightenment; if you fail, everythingโs for nothing.
As for what enlightenment really is, he honestly doesnโt get it.
Right now he just feels like his tribulation is here.
Once he split from his coworkers and could still sense the guy following him, Gauss finally snapped.
He stomped his foot lightlyโthe demonโs power turned into a shockwave and hit the foreigner straight in the body. The cross in the manโs hand instantly turned scorched black, his eyes glazed over, and after a moment of confusion, he turned and left.
The guy marched straight ahead, reached the big bridge, and, staring into the water below, seemed to sense some excruciating pain; it was as if there was a demonโs body in the river, vanishing in a flash.
Consumed by greed, the foreigner leapt right off the bridge and vanished into the river below.
With a splash, someone on the bridge yelled, "Someone just jumped into the river!"
An hour later, the corpse-retrieval team started fishing around the river and pulled out the guyโalready drowned.
The Scorching Sun Department folks wanted to ask the local water god about this, but then rememberedโthe local water god had just been slaughtered.
The security footage showed everything crystal clearโit was the guy himself jumping into the river.
The Scorching Sun people had originally planned to investigate thoroughly. After all, heโd entered as an ordinary tourist, but when they saw the "Key Risk" mark on his file, "Arrest immediately if detected proselytizing," that was it.
The Scorching Sun crew shruggedโnothing to do with us anymore, just follow normal procedure.
Down on the West River riverbed, Old Turtle dragged a foreigner whoโd just turned into a Water Ghost all the way to King Guilong Temple.
The foreignerโs nether soul had only just regained a little awareness, when, by pure instinct, he started preaching to Old Turtle...
The nether soul had just reached the temple gate when, with a squelch, a dragon claw formed from the riverโs current crushed him. Apparently, that wasnโt enoughโan eerie blue flame rose up from the water, burning all his remains to nothing.
"Stupid old fool, stop dragging every ghostly thing back here! What the hellโsomething actually dared to try preaching in my territory?! Thereโs nothing out there but demons and monsters? What an age we live in!"
King Guilong was getting so pissed his temper was exploding.
"Whatโs the Scorching Sun Department even doing? Crap like this should be killed on the spot! How are they letting it slip in?
If they let one more of these things die in West River, Iโll flood their offices!"
Old Turtle, being chewed out, didnโt even dare clap backโhe just lay outside, blinking his tiny eyes, thinking to himself that honestly, he was hoping the foreign ghost might bring some kind of news.
Whoโd have thought this ghost would have the balls to attempt preaching at the temple door the moment his mind cleared, as a newly drowned soul no less.
Old Turtle was just dumbfoundedโheโd never even heard of such a gutsy Water Ghost.
Afraid to talk back, Old Turtle thought for a bit, turned around and swam away. Seeing a Scorching Sun Department field agent bored silly on the shore, he hocked a loogie in that direction.
The agent looked over warily. Old Turtle stuck out a claw and beckoned him over.
The agent thought about it, edged a bit closer, but still kept several meters from the waterโs edge.
Old Turtle didnโt care. After recalling what happened just now, he spoke in human tongue.
"My king says if you bring in one more thing that tries preaching here, heโll flood your whole department. Donโt push us too far!
Weโre not that easy to mess with. If you want to humiliate us, donโt use these tricks.
Remember, just one more time and weโre flooding your offices!
Absolute humiliation!
Having someone preach at his temple gate is just beyond insulting!
Ptui!"
Old Turtle spat again and left.
The Scorching Sun field agent was dumbfounded. What the hell?
He looked down at the law enforcement recorder hanging from his chestโseems it was on.
He replayed the footage, broke into a grin, and hurriedly called his boss.
Within half an hour, the footage was sent to Cai Heizi.
Cai Heizi, after watching the video, was grinning so hard his molars were showing.
"Go, give my order: anyone who, on paper, has nothing wrong but applied to enter Nanwu County and still hasnโt leftโgrab them all, no questions asked.
What excuse?
Donโt you know how to talk? If you donโt, go train.
When we do things, thereโs no such thing as excusesโitโs always hard evidence.
These folks, emboldened as hell, using our department as cover to go proselytize to the West River Dragon God, stirred up all the water gods over there to the point theyโre threatening to flood every government office.
This is basically trying to start a war and sabotage local stabilityโsmash them hard, no mercy.
Right, arrest everyone whoโs marked, round them all up first.
And get in touch with the foreign ministry. I want a stern condemnation issued in the name of the Scorching Sun Department."
