Chapter 877 Reunion of old friends

Just then, Su Weiyu suddenly used her movement technique to quickly approach the Yaksha werewolf, and a white beam of light lashed out like a ribbon towards the werewolf's thick, outstretched neck.

Just as the werewolf's head was about to be easily severed, Su Weiyu stopped abruptly, staring at the werewolf in shock, as if she had discovered something inexplicable.

“He…I think I heard him talking just now,” Su Weiyu said. “And he can’t see me, can he?”

As she spoke, Su Weiyu gently placed the goose-feather knife against the werewolf's neck. The werewolf did not resist at all, as if it was perfectly normal to have the knife against his neck and that there was no need to even look at it.

Xia Shou then realized that the werewolf didn't disregard Su Weiyu; rather, it simply couldn't see her!

This monster is actually human!

“Shh… Jia… Xia…” The werewolf opened his mouth and uttered a series of abnormal syllables, then two indistinct words popped out of his mouth, “Xia… Shou!”

Xia Shou's head buzzed as he stared in astonishment at the werewolf before him. It was as if some major information was rushing into his mind like a burst dam, but the complexity of the possibilities made it impossible for him to sort through the information in the short term.

Before Xia Shou could react, the werewolf suddenly raised its neck and let out a different howl. With this howl, the surrounding evil spirits seemed to receive some signal and slowly retreated into the distance. Many evil spirits were reluctant to leave, but under the threat of the werewolf's growl, they finally left.

Before long, only Xia Shou, Su Weiyu, and the werewolf remained at the scene.

The werewolf pointed at Xia Shou, then at himself, and mumbled, "I am..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly pointed into the distance, then made a very human-like waving gesture to Xia Shou, before leaping off in a distant direction. When he landed on the next rooftop, seeing that Xia Shou hadn't followed, he stopped, turned around, and waved to him again.

"He wants us to go with him!" Su Weiyu exclaimed in surprise.

“Follow them,” Xia Shou said.

The two followed the werewolf through the completed underworld capital, eventually stopping outside a quiet courtyard.

The werewolf pushed open the gate and walked into the courtyard. After Xia Shou followed him in, he began to dig in the soil next to a withered tree.

Two enormous, anthropomorphic wolf paws, like shovels, could dig out a full handful of soil each time. In just ten minutes, the pit was already two meters deep, and a crimson wooden board was peeking out from the soil to cover it.

Upon seeing the wooden plank, the werewolf dug even faster, and soon the coffin-like object was completely unearthed.

Without saying a word, the werewolf used his fingers to pry open the gap in the wooden board, revealing a middle-aged man in his forties with a stubble beard. Although his age did not match the Huangfu Zuoren in Xia Shou's memory, he could still be identified as Huangfu Zuoren at a glance!
"As expected!" Xia Shou also removed his mask, revealing his true appearance. "You are Huangfu, right?"

The werewolf nodded and pointed to the forehead of the corpse in the coffin, where there was a very obvious thin slit.

He pointed to his own head, then to the head of the corpse in the coffin, sat down by the wall, and opened the top of his werewolf body, revealing a huge human brain inside.

"Change...change..."

The werewolf gestured with his finger.

"You mean, you want me to help you put your brain back in?" Xia Shou asked tentatively.

The other party nodded again.

"Wait a minute, Wei Yu, come and give me a hand." Xia Shou and Su Wei Yu worked together to move the coffin from the pit to the ground, straightened Huangfu Zuoren's body, and then opened his skull like opening a can. Sure enough, it was empty.

Xia Shou walked up to the werewolf, reached out and carefully picked up its brain, plucked it off like a cauliflower, and then put it back into Huangfu Zuoren's skull. Su Weiyu frowned as she watched the whole process.

After the brain transplant, Xia Shou stepped aside.

A few seconds later, the body suddenly moved. Huangfu Zuoren opened his eyes, raised his hands to hold the edge of the coffin, and slowly stood up. His bones, which had not been used for many years, made cracking sounds. He licked his dry lips and reached out to Xia Shou: "Give me back my head."

"Oh, here you go." Xia Shou returned the top of his head to the other party.

Huangfu Zuoren pressed his skull closed like a lid, and the crease on his forehead disappeared and healed. He looked at Xia Shou and let out a weary sigh: "How long has it been?"

Xia Shou opened his mouth, a wave of emotion washing over him as well: "For you, it's been decades, hasn't it?"

How long has it been since you arrived at the top?

"It hasn't even been two weeks."

Huangfu Zuoren sighed deeply, sat down by the flower bed, and took out his deduction notebook from his pocket: "This is what I promised you I would get. Here you go. You probably don't have any clues about my father yet, right? It's only been a few days."

"No, I found him, he's dead."

Huangfu Zuoren was taken aback upon hearing this: "Dead?"

"Yes, he's dead. But I still found out some things about him. He was a very skilled assassin, cold and ruthless, but he fell in love with a woman, which gave him a weakness. In the end, he relied on the power of the Named One, Forget-Me-Not, under Mo Mi's command to forget her. I think the person he fell in love with was your mother," Xia Shou said briefly.

"I see, he's dead... That's good." Huangfu Zuoren sighed heavily. "It's strange, I thought I would care about him a lot."

Xia Shou remained silent.

Just when Xia Shou thought the matter was over, Huangfu Zuoren suddenly asked out of the blue, "What does he look like?"

“Um, he looks a lot like you, especially like you now, but his eyebrows are a bit thicker and his chin is a little wider.” Xia Shou tried his best to describe the appearance of the assassin he had killed.

Huangfu Zuoren nodded, opened his mouth as if he wanted to ask more, but then closed it again, and then the next sentence suddenly changed to another topic.

"How much do you know about Lin Rizhi?"

"I don't know him completely, but I've read all his diaries."

“We were discovered, but because of the deduction notes, we managed to escape before being betrayed and were not caught. But I don’t know where he went. I was on the run for several years until Sprite rebuilt the underworld and found this perfect hiding place.”

Those evil spirits you just encountered were all equipped with specially trained dog brains. They're incredibly intelligent and patrol this area. Sprite and the others don't know I've infiltrated. I usually patrol with these dogs, and over the years I've become the dog king; they all listen to me.

But I usually don't do anything outrageous. I kill anyone who breaks in. I've been waiting for the people from the control bureau to come down, and today I've finally waited for you.

I know you're asking why Sprite rebuilt the Underworld?
I was just about to say that, you can just listen.
