I Am Your Natural Enemy-Chapter 721 - 275: Information in Numbers, Boomerang Hits the Forehead (5k) _2

And the upper limit of this range has also been continuously increasing over the past three years.

There's always a reason behind anything so systematic.

But I have no other clues to prove time itself is at fault, instead of this atomic clock being faulty."

As Wen Yan listened to the General Director, he could more or less imagine what was going on.

Little Mustache must have been a player for more than three years by now.

He also made progress bit by bit, gradually extending the length of his resets from a very short period to the present—over a dozen days at a time.

The only thing unknown is, just how did he manage to increase it like this.

A series of thoughts started popping up in Wen Yan's mind.

For example, how to deal with this guy who's completely acquired a player's mentality.

Their mindset had already reached the point where they treat everyone else as NPCs: people to manipulate, enslave, carve up at will...

That Doll Master was exactly like that. The feeling Wen Yan got from him—he felt no guilt, no hesitation, like he was just playing a game. In his gaze, there was even a kind of clear and stupid innocence.

If wiping out the Doll Master a million times did any good without dealing with Little Mustache first, Wen Yan would've handled him ages ago.

But now that guy was obediently lying low, his dolls withdrawn, so Wen Yan was going to ignore him for now.

Wen Yan brought up the Black Box, Little Mustache, and a few of his subordinates, while the General Director listened quietly.

When Wen Yan finished, the General Director nodded.

"Then for now, let's leave his subordinates be. As Professionals, they act with total impunity, killing and causing havoc at will.

Now, since we know that if he loses consciousness, all his dolls revert to ordinary ones—

We don't know where all his dolls are, or how many, so if we make a move, we must first make sure he loses consciousness."

"Drop the official tone, this isn't a meeting, no need for formalities," the Old Celestial Master couldn't help but point out.

The General Director smiled faintly, his gaze calm, and went straight to the point.

"Myself and the Old Celestial Master are too high-profile. Whatever you want to do, go ahead and do it.

This matter can't be made known to too many people. Not even Feng Yao can know the truth.

If there comes a time you need him to reset,

You just need to inform me.

Just as you said, for the sake of his subordinates, he'll reset immediately."

Wen Yan's eyelids twitched. Damn, the General Director had already thought of this?

So keeping the Doll Master around was for this use?

"The Scorching Sun Department..."

"Within the Scorching Sun Department, although there aren't many individually strong powerhouses,

There are still some people who, once given the order, can handle an ordinary person with a vulnerable physical body within one minute without raising any alarms.

By tomorrow, a person who is perfectly flawless in every respect, and won't arouse any suspicion, will appear near the Doll Master.

Should the need arise, that person will be activated."

Wen Yan didn't ask further. Since the General Director dared to be so decisive, there wouldn't be any slip-ups.

Now that he had gained an opportunity to somewhat reverse-manipulate the reset time, Wen Yan started considering other options.

"If it can be helped, I'd rather not use this. Best to avoid it unless it's the only shot I get.

I don't know what mechanism his power uses, or what limits there are.

I'll need to check into that first..."

At this point, Wen Yan paused, thought for a moment, and asked a question.

"I don't know what wondrous items he might be holding. In the Scorching Sun Department, are there any wondrous items that can guarantee I won't be noticed if I attempt to spy on him?"

"There's an amulet. Wear it, and as long as you don't perform any intrusive attacks, the people around you will ignore your presence.

But this wondrous item is useless against cameras or surveillance without a consciousness.

If you want it, I can give it to you.

However, I don't think you really need to risk everything investigating him anymore.

You should have a bit of faith in the Scorching Sun Department.

The only issue before was that we didn't even know who this person was.

But now that we do know, it's basically impossible for him to stay hidden any longer.

Just like those lawbreaking Different Races—they all have to keep their tails tucked in, stay hidden.

Anyone bold enough to stick their neck out never ends up well.

With the level of priority this guy has now, it's worth it for the Scorching Sun Department to pull out a few resources."

The General Director took two metal boxes from a drawer.

One was marked 097, the other 098.

After opening them, one contained a Wolf Brush, and the other a few pieces of parchment.

"These are consumables—without high enough priority, we'd never use them.

Write with the brush on the parchment, and you'll get some answers you're looking for.

The last time this was used was for the Soul Devouring Beast.

Only, the answer we got was pretty terrifying—all sorts of immunity entries, even the last piece of paper couldn't contain them all.

In the end, all the writing vanished, and only a single entry remained: Invincible.

That guy who can reset, his mindset has long left normal human limits.

With how uncontrollable he is, he definitely qualifies for us to use at least one parchment on him.

But whoever does the writing will expend a huge amount of energy and stamina, and once finished, they'll be left very weak."

Wen Yan studied the two wondrous items for a while—well, obviously, it would have to be him.

The General Director wasn't young anymore, and the Old Celestial Master carried huge responsibilities. They couldn't afford the drain.

"How do you use this, exactly?"

"Write down his name or profession, and it'll list out his information."

Hearing this, Wen Yan thought, huh, isn't that a bit like his own hint ability?

"Are there any previous records, then?"

The General Director nodded and pulled up a video clip on his computer.
