"Hu Weijie, think of your wife, think of your daughter, wake up!"
Yu Xian stood behind Gong Qian, shouting loudly at the motionless Hu Weijie on the ground.
He twitched his nose; the scent on Hu Weijie had undergone a tremendous change. If Hu Weijie's scent just now was like a wild beast, now it was like a person who had just revived.
"Hu Weijie, Hu Weijie, Hu Weijie!!!" His eyes lit up, and he continued to call out the other person's name.
Hu Weijie moved then. He slowly got up from the ground, his body like a model with a BUG, flesh and blood constantly flickering and changing. At times, a fox head grew on one side, at times his mouth turned into a bird's beak, and at times his arm became a snake.
However, that face began to look a bit like Hu Weijie.
He looked at Yu Xian and said, "I am Hu Weijie, but I am already dead."
Dead?
Yu Xian and Gong Qian were both stunned, unable to understand the meaning of Hu Weijie's words.
Hu Weijie had clearly woken up, so why did he say he was dead?
Hu Weijie looked at the two of them, neither sad nor joyful, saying, "You are here to investigate Peng Zu, right? I'm sorry... I only know his nickname is Peng Zu; I don't know anything else."
"While that is a reason, your wife and daughter are very worried. They called the police hoping we could find you," Yu Xian said seriously, looking at Hu Weijie.
He could sense a death wish in Hu Weijie's tone, which was exactly like his father's initial attitude of wanting to die.
Perhaps because he could empathize, he subconsciously comforted the other person, wanting to ignite their will to live.
"They won't worry about me. Don't lie. I'm just a failure, a dispensable... superfluous person," Hu Weijie lowered his head, speaking without interest.
Yu Xian shook his head and said sternly, "No, I'm not lying. Although I don't know why you misunderstood them, they definitely love you."
As he spoke, he took out his phone, opened the recording of his previous conversation with Hu Xian'er and Hu Tu'er, and played their words.
As the recording played, Hu Weijie gradually froze.
Although there wasn't a single word in the recording that said they loved him, or even that they were sad about his disappearance, his wife's and daughter's words, strung together with their daily lives, made him suddenly realize.
Dad is just quieter?
He's a wanderer?
So that's how they saw him.
Hu Weijie felt his wife's and daughter's true feelings for him from the conversation. It turned out his daughter always thought he was quieter and was used to his silence, not that she didn't love him.
It turned out his wife thought of him as a wanderer in her heart, which was why she had always quietly accommodated him and indulged his willfulness and not coming home, not that she didn't love him.
And him?
He was immersed in his own world, preoccupied with the name of the Seven Heroes.
To prove he could live up to the reputation of the Seven Heroes, he did one foolish thing after another at all costs, and in the end, he even ruined himself.
But it was too late.
Everything became clear too late.
Black tears flowed from Hu Weijie's eyes, and his body suddenly went berserk. A large number of chaotic organs grew from his lower body. He looked at Yu Xian, saying sadly and despairingly, "Kill me quickly! This body is a monster; it cannot be allowed to continue existing in the world!"
As he said, he was actually already dead.
The current body was not his body, but the Perfect Creature created by Peng Zu.
On the day he injected the potion, he was approached by the Perfect Creature. He had no power to resist and was ultimately swallowed alive.
Because he had injected a large amount of the potion, which contained a high concentration of nutrients, even the Perfect Creature found it difficult to digest him in a short period.
During this time, the Perfect Creature devoured a large number of foxes he had prepared for himself, resulting in it becoming infected with demonic energy. Its form underwent a huge change, and under the influence of the demonic energy, it instinctively began to seek a title.
Once it successfully gained a title, it would become even stronger and more perfect.
But because Yu Xian mistakenly believed the Perfect Creature was Hu Weijie and kept calling out Hu Weijie's name, the Perfect Creature's attempt to gain a title went awry, instead giving Hu Weijie a chance to awaken.
However, Hu Weijie knew very well that the Perfect Creature was instinctively resisting.
He couldn't hold on for much longer; soon, his consciousness would be completely crushed by the Perfect Creature. At that time, the Perfect Creature would become even more terrifying, even endangering Silver City.
Silver City, the two people he loved most lived in Silver City!
He absolutely could not let the Perfect Creature continue to live.
"Kill me, now!"
Hu Weijie plunged his arm into his chest, forcefully tearing out his heart, and shouted at Yu Xian and Gong Qian.
However, as soon as he threw out his heart, a new heart quickly grew in his chest, and on this heart appeared an extremely cold eye.
"Die, make me die!"
Hu Weijie tore the flesh from his body with both hands, throwing it everywhere, but no matter how he tore, his body rapidly recovered.
A hundred meters away, Yu Xian and Gong Qian were both stunned.
Gong Qian said with shock, "Why is he hurting himself?"
"I... I don't know, but he seems to want to protect something important. I can feel his emotions!" Yu Xian said with a complex tone, looking at Hu Weijie.
Hu Weijie's eyes were exactly like his father's when he secretly sought death after getting ALS.
Does he also have someone he doesn't want to burden?
Subconsciously, Yu Xian clenched his fists, his eyes slightly reddening.
Gong Qian hesitated, "Then should we stop him? The 'Peng Zu' he just mentioned should be the person we're looking for, right? If he can draw the other person's appearance, our chances of finding them will be higher."
"Kill me! This body isn't mine! I was eaten by a monster! This is the monster's body; it's about to awaken!" Hu Weijie shouted at this moment, an arm uncontrollably growing from his back, grabbing the hand he was trying to use to pull out his heart.
In fact, only about half a minute had passed from Hu Weijie's self-mutilation until now. Gong Qian and Yu Xian were both surprised to hear his words: this body was not Hu Weijie's body, but had another owner?
In a flash, Yu Xian's mind seemed to clear. He shouted, "Vice-Captain, act! Cover me!"
With that, he manipulated a large number of silver threads to quickly weave into armor covering his entire body, then flashed to Hu Weijie's right side using a spatial bubble. He shouted, "Hu Weijie, don't let it interfere with me, help me!"
An arm immediately slapped towards Yu Xian, but Hu Weijie used another arm to grab the uncontrollable arm.
Yu Xian immediately opened his helmet's visor and bared his fangs at Hu Weijie's neck. He bit fiercely into Hu Weijie's neck, and Hu Weijie quickly cooperated by making that area of skin soft.
Otherwise, with the hardness of Yu Xian's teeth, he wouldn't be able to bite through its skin at all.
Hu Weijie didn't know the purpose of Yu Xian doing this, but now the only people he could trust were Yu Xian and Gong Qian in front of him. So, even as Yu Xian bit him and sucked his blood, causing pain, he still gritted his teeth and continued to help Yu Xian block the surrounding limbs that intended to attack.
After consuming Pangu Blood, Yu Xian gained the Vampire's rarest ability: acquiring the target's memories through bloodsucking.
He now needed to get Hu Weijie's memories before Hu Weijie died to understand Peng Zu. If Peng Zu wasn't dealt with, tragedies like this would only continue to happen.
At this moment, a huge arm transformed into a large snake and opened its mouth to bite Yu Xian, but before it could touch Yu Xian, it was punched to the ground by Gong Qian. Then, Gong Qian landed and continuously bounced around Hu Weijie, breaking, exploding, and fracturing all the limbs not controlled by Hu Weijie.
