How could this happen?

It's one thing for Wang Dayong to be running around everywhere, but why is Brother Jieshi here too?

Niu Jieshi was also wide-eyed in shock upon seeing Jiang Xiao, as if he'd seen a ghost, then he burst into laughter and came over to greet him.

At the same time, he immediately noticed Shi Shi at Jiang Xiao's side.

"Jiang Xiao, my young brother? Oh my! It really is you! Holy shit? No... how did you end up here?! Where's the sister-in-law? Did you take Sun Wei and little Shi Shi out of this world? You don't know how worried I was when they suddenly disappeared back then."

Shi Shi also came up and sweetly called him Uncle Jieshi, expressing that ever since Jiang Xiao left, Niu Jieshi has truly been a huge help to their family.

Niu Jieshi asked seven or eight questions with just a sentence, which left Jiang Xiao's mind buzzing.

However, Jiang Xiao's own curiosity wasn't any less than Brother Jieshi's.

"Weren't you supposed to be in the village? Also, it seems like you've changed..."

The chest hair remained, but the creepy vibes from Brother Dayong seemed significantly lessened.

He actually seemed a bit like...

How should I put this, Jiang Xiao had a thought in mind but was unsure if he should say it.

Right now, Wang Dayong gave him the impression of a warm and family-oriented man.

The young man was so happy-go-lucky~

"Hey, you're talking about me? I'd say you're the one who has changed drastically! At first, I thought I had the wrong person."

Niu Jieshi looked Jiang Xiao up and down, like examining some rare specimen.

The creepy and unstable vibe was gone?

Now, hanging out with Jiang Xiao actually felt like a breath of fresh spring air.

The most noticeable thing was his gaze... It still held a glimmer of intelligence, but it was so much better than that previous look like he was tethered by a brain clot.

Niu Jieshi shook his head with a smug smile appearing at the corner of his lips.

Recalling past absurdities seemed to have become a series of good memories.

"Haha, back then we were the 'top freaks' sweeping through the countryside!"

"But looking back now, we really were so immature then."

Niu Jieshi suddenly restrained his laughter, adopting a repentant look.

"Luckily, I listened to you later on. I started behaving and cleaned up the props from the basement, opened an adult shop, and even married a virtuous wife. Hahaha, she always praises me as the fiercest man she's ever met!"

???

Good heavens.

He combined his hobbies with his career.

Niu Jieshi really is the true winner in life.

But what does it mean that your wife says you're the "fiercest man she's ever met"?

That's not quite right, is it?

Ignoring the green light radiating from Niu Jieshi, Jiang Xiao politely nodded, seeing the satisfied expression on Niu Jieshi's face, and silently gave him a thumbs-up in his heart.

This guy finally found the right path in life, no longer that perverted king who only tinkered with backsides all day.

"Brother Jieshi, you look really successful now; how did you manage to win over that lovely lady? You gotta share some experience with me."

Jiang Xiao asked half-jokingly, half-seriously.

Niu Jieshi laughed heartily and patted his chest, "That's simple. I just moved her with my genuine feelings. You don't know, I'm now a well-known model husband in the village."

Listening to Niu Jieshi's words, Jiang Xiao couldn't help but be full of emotions.

It seems that no matter how bad the past is, there's always a chance for a fresh start once you decide to change.

Meanwhile, Wang Dayong didn't know whether to stand or sit.

Embarrassed, he kept scratching his head.

He wanted to explain why he was here, and it wasn't due to "misbehaving," but for legitimate reasons.

At the same time, he felt utterly hopeless.

What the hell?

How did I run into this jinx all the way from the boonies to the coastal city?

The world is so big, why does it have to catch me and torment me?

Unconsciously.

Wang Dayong's tears were already flowing uncontrollably.

The poor baby was feeling extremely wronged!

As for the staff who had just been yelling orders at Jiang Xiao, they now had pale faces.

They're not fools.

They won't be devoid of perception like the mindless villains in novels.

This guy...

Isn't he a student of those old history professors?

How is he having such fluent conversations with the paranormals?

And it looks like that very formidable paranormal Wang Dayong seems to respect him greatly?

Finally, after finishing the conversation with Niu Jieshi, Jiang Xiao's gaze turned to Wang Dayong.

The latter shivered instantly and rattled off all the explanations he had prepared.

Wang Dayong's voice was somewhat trembling, with his eyes showing a trace of helplessness and confusion.

As it turned out, Wang Dayong didn't intentionally leave Sunset Mountain against Jiang Xiao's advice, but he had received orders from above.

"Jiang Xiao, I've been wanting to explain this to you, but..."

Wang Dayong's words were filled with powerlessness.

"I received orders from above to immediately leave Sunset Mountain and carry out a special mission."

Jiang Xiao's eyes sharpened.

"From above? You mean..."

"Yes, from the top levels of our paranormal world, very powerful ones."

Wang Dayong nodded, a serious expression on his face.

"And this time, unlike previous times, we were told to temporarily put aside our grudge against humanity because there's something more important we need to do."

Jiang Xiao remained silent for a moment, with some understanding in his heart, but still slowly opened his mouth to confirm.

"Then, what is this 'more important thing'?"

Wang Dayong looked around, seeming to confirm safety before whispering.

"It's rather frightening to talk about it; now, all the Kaidans in the world are being recalled!"

"Because our high level of the paranormal world has discovered an unknown force interfering with reality and our boundaries. Its power is more dangerous than any other paranormal, potentially threatening the balance of the entire world."

"So, you're here on a mission?" Jiang Xiao asked.

Wang Dayong nodded.

"Yes, I was sent to collaborate with humans to investigate the source of this force and its purpose."

Not only Wang Dayong, but also Niu Jieshi, who was also an exceptionally formidable paranormal, a hidden boss-level figure in the Seven-Star Kaidan.

The usual boss is the neighbor Wang Mei, isn't Niu Jieshi the rare hidden one?

As for the true extent of Old Niu's strength, Jiang Xiao still didn't know, as they had never crossed paths.

But judging from the conversation dynamics between Wang Dayong and Niu Jieshi just now, it seemed that Wang Dayong saw Niu Jieshi as an equal level of existence.

So...

Our Brother Niu is still quite formidable?

Clearly, all this talk, Wang Dayong was referring to the force of "God".

Jiang Xiao's brow furrowed, he hadn't expected this virus crisis to be so severe, with even the paranormals being significantly affected.

"Have you figured out steps one, two, and three?"

"Well, not quite..."
