Chapter 951: The Resurrection of the Strange

The Night of Yi's Death?

This utterance left all the law enforcement officers at the rear in a state of shock.

The term "Yi" that could be subtly mentioned by Rao Jianxian and appear in the mouth of a Sheng Nu could only refer to the Yi from Yi Bu Shou Zuo.

After a brief moment of silence, whispers began to emerge among the law enforcement officers.

"Isn't that right? I heard recently that a high-ranking officer died in the Yunlun Mountains, but all related intelligence was completely sealed off."

"They can't mean the Yi I have in mind... Yi Bu Shou Zuo?"

"Come to think of it, Yi Bu Shou Zuo hasn't been seen for the past few days. We've only spotted Zhan Bu Shou Zuo and Ti Bu Shou Zuo. I originally thought Yi was on a secret mission, but now, looking back... it's terrifying to ponder!"

"That's true. Even An Bu Shou Zuo, Ye Xiao, hasn't been around for a while. I heard Ye Xiao and Yi were on very good terms—well, that's just what I heard..."

The law enforcement team was usually disciplined.

But just as the extraordinary treasure surge in the Yunlun Mountains had excited everyone last time,

the information now coming from the silver-haired woman's mouth was like a second explosive bomb, instantly igniting everyone's speculations and imaginations.

You can't keep a secret forever.

Even though the higher-ups had been suppressing it, these past few days, the lower-ranking officers had all been letting their minds wander.

Who exactly died that the higher-ups would suppress the intelligence so forcefully to avoid causing panic?

Now, getting an answer from the enemy's mouth—an answer that no one dared to believe but felt was almost certainly correct—the officers couldn't hold back their curiosity.

Even though the two sides were in a standoff, with the situation on the verge of exploding, people's emotions were hard to control.

"Shut your mouths!

"In wartime, any unauthorized talk will be met with execution!"

At that moment, Wang Da Chui glanced at Rao Jianxian's displeased expression and immediately shouted sternly, silencing the officers behind him.

Rao Yao Yao hadn't expected the silver-haired woman to dare speak of this matter directly, which was essentially admitting that Yi's death was their doing.

She could discern the other side's intention...

They were trying to provoke her anger, making her unable to stay calm.

For a leader who needed to oversee the big picture, if she were to act impulsively at a critical moment because of such words, it could lead to one part collapsing, triggering a chain reaction and disrupting the entire plan.

But undeniably...

"You've succeeded in angering me!"

Rao Yao Yao's face was covered in frost.

Yi's death was the biggest thorn in her heart.

No matter how well the missions in the Yunlun Mountains turned out afterward, this matter left her feeling choked.

For Rao Yao Yao, it was an unforgivable mistake, the greatest flaw in what should have been a perfect outcome!

"Since things have come to this..."

Rao Yao Yao quickly scanned the three people in front of her and sneered, "Xu Xiao Shou, Ye Xiao Tian, and you... you've all walked into the trap, so it's time to catch you all in one net!"

She suddenly felt there was no need to wait any longer.

Even if they couldn't wait for the real big fish, just capturing the Lei family survivor alone would be worth the manpower and time wasted in this full-scale operation.

Rao Yao Yao raised her right hand.

The officers behind her stood solemnly, their expressions now serious once more.

Xu Xiao Shou felt a pang in his heart.

He remembered this gesture!

During the treasure eruption at the Void Island rift, every time Rao Yao Yao raised her hand and gave an order, a great array would activate, one that even treasures infused with holy power couldn't break.

Oh, girl, when it's time to back down, you really shouldn't stand your ground... Xu Xiao Shou's thoughts were a mix of emotions. He understood Lei Xi Er's hatred for the people of Sheng Shen Dian Tang, but he also lamented that when the situation was against you, sometimes you had to act like a turtle pulling in its head, waiting for the right moment.

"Sigh"

Before Rao Yao Yao's hand could fall, Xu Xiao Shou let out a long sigh, drawing everyone's gaze.

This sigh wasn't in his voice; it sounded like it came from a stranger.

Yet Rao Yao Yao, Wang Da Chui, and the others felt an oddly familiar sensation from it.

In the sigh, everyone saw the tall Xu Xiao Shou suddenly shift and transform into a short, cute little girl, about the same height as Ye Xiao Tian and Wang Da Chui.

The little girl held a string of candied haws, took a big bite, and in the midst of everyone's surprised stares, she hopped over to Rao Yao Yao's side with quick steps, mumbling unclearly,

"I say, Rao Jianxian, you're just too impatient. Since I haven't even gone back to report on the mission, why do you assume it failed?

"What a great opportunity this was to stay hidden among them, but you've gone and ruined it..."

The little girl clutched her forehead, looking utterly helpless.

At this point, the onlookers were all stunned.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes—that this new little girl had transformed from the Sheng Nu Xu Xiao Shou—they simply wouldn't believe the two were the same person!

Whether in clothing, habits, behavior...

Or in expressions, demeanor, and tone of speech...

This girl was unmistakably a completely different person—the Yi Bu Shou Zuo whom many officers had seen from afar, and some had even been teased by up close—Yi!

"Yi?"

Wang Da Chui stood there dumbfounded, staring at the familiar face that had changed from Xu Xiao Shou, feeling both wary and delighted. "You're not dead? A covert mission?"

Even with his thick head, he could now piece it together:

In the battle where Yi supposedly died, the Sheng Nu Xu Xiao Shou hadn't succeeded. Instead, through a series of coincidences and irresistible forces, Yi had become Xu Xiao Shou, and Xu Xiao Shou had become Yi. The one who died was fake—perhaps it was the real Sheng Nu Xu Xiao Shou!

And the true Yi, the "ever-changing Yi," had taken on the role of Sheng Nu Xu Xiao Shou, embarking on a brief and arduous new mission to gather more internal intelligence from the enemy—undercover work!

This...

It was so typical of Yi!

So in line with the methods of the "ever-changing Yi"!

"Shocked, passive value: 98."

"Speculated, passive value: 75."

"Wary, passive value: 105."

This sudden appearance of the little girl startled not only the officers but also Lei Xi Er and Ye Xiao Tian.

For the former, a doubt flashed in her mind, but it quickly faded as she recalled her interactions with Xu Xiao Shou over the past days. Based on habits, it should still be him... probably!

Ye Xiao Tian didn't feel that way at all.

He was left with pure terror.

He even suspected that the Xu Xiao Shou who had just had a long conversation with him, extracting those world-shaking secrets about Tian Sang Ling Gong, was actually Yi in disguise.

After all, Xu Xiao Shou and Yi—which one was more notorious—Ye Xiao Tian knew all too well.

"Xu... Xiao... Shou!"

While everyone was shocked by the " resurrection" of Yi, the only one still composed, Rao Yao Yao, recovered from her brief astonishment and gritted her teeth,

"Do you really think you can deceive me?"

From the related intelligence, she knew Xu Xiao Shou possessed a transformation ability similar to Yi's.

But Rao Yao Yao never imagined that Xu Xiao Shou's ability was so close to Yi's—even mimicking a person's habits and behaviors.

Even Yi would need a long period of study to imitate that well.

Perhaps he had obtained the Mimic and, in this time, gathered a lot of intelligence on Yi... Rao Yao Yao thought to herself.

Her basis for being the only clear-headed one among the hundred or so doubtful people wasn't herself, but Ye Xiao.

After Yi's death, Ye Xiao had gone completely off the grid.

Rao Yao Yao might not believe any intelligence, but she couldn't ignore the reaction of the person closest to Yi.

So, even though the "Yi" in front of her gave an extremely bold but fitting excuse for Yi, Rao Yao Yao still concluded... this Yi was fake!

Wang Da Chui was clearly snapped out of it too.

He became furious with embarrassment, clenching his fists to charge forward and smash this deceitful Sheng Nu Xu Xiao Shou.

But the little girl, Yi, remained unruffled, her eyes darkening as an overwhelming aura pressed down: "Have you gone mad, Wang Da Chui? Do you want to start killing your own?"

Wang Da Chui froze in shock.

This aura wasn't something a junior master could possess—it even made him feel threatened!

"You're really Yi?" Wang Da Chui was utterly confused.

Just then, from the back, Shou Ye spoke gravely: "Xu Xiao Shou has an ability to simulate auras. Rao Qianbei, you mustn't be fooled by him..."

Before he could say "deceived," the little girl Yi suddenly turned back, her gaze cold and stern: "Do you have a say here?"

Without any visible action, just a lowering of her eyelids,

Everyone sharply noticed that Shou Ye's line of sight locked with Yi's lost focus. His whole body trembled violently, his expression turning vacant—he had clearly suffered a powerful mental attack.

Wang Da Chui: !!!

A mental attack!

One that could affect Shou Ye, who was at the Chop Dao level with Tai Xu Zhi Li—an ability not mentioned in any intelligence on Xu Xiao Shou!

"He's really Yi." Wang Da Chui turned to look at Rao Yao Yao.

Rao Yao Yao didn't even bother responding to Wang Da Chui. She just kept a stern face and sneered: "The real Yi wouldn't attack his own people!"

"Did I hurt him?" The little girl Yi withdrew her gaze impatiently.

Sure enough, Shou Ye just swayed, stumbled, and quickly recovered, his face full of horror.

Rao Yao Yao: ...

At this point, she still couldn't believe the person in front of her was really Yi.

That's right!

If Xu Xiao Shou had truly killed Yi, he should have obtained the Mimic...

"So you can even mimic Yi's skills. Your progress with the Mimic isn't slow at all!" Rao Yao Yao narrowed her eyes.

Wang Da Chui suddenly realized: "Oh, right, the Mimic can copy abilities... Damn you, tricking me again!" He pulled out a thorny hammer from his spatial ring, ready to strike.

"Wang Da Chui, have you forgotten who went to great lengths to secretly provide your 'Qing Qiang Suo Yuan Dan'?" The little girl Yi suddenly shouted.

At once, Wang Da Chui's face turned deathly pale, and the hammer nearly slipped from his hand.

"Angry glare, passive value: 1."

All the male officers behind widened their eyes, their expressions shifting from disbelief to teasing and odd.

The female officers frowned slightly, skillfully masking their emotions and feigning ignorance.

But everyone knew what Qing Qiang Suo Yuan Dan was...

It was a forbidden drug for strengthening and locking essence, good for... well, multiple times a night!

Why would Wang Da Chui get it through Yi Bu Shou Zuo? Wasn't he Ti Bu Shou Zuo?

Could it be... he couldn't perform?

Ti Bu Shou Zuo shouldn't have that problem...

Or maybe he needed a lot for someone else?

Or perhaps he required so much that it was wearing him out?

"Shocked, passive value: 62."

Wang Da Chui could feel those embarrassing stares from behind without even turning around. He was furious and swung a fist at Yi.

"You promised not to say anything..."

Mid-sentence, he thought of something, his eyes flashing with regret, and switched to a mental message: "You said you wouldn't tell anyone!"

The little girl Yi chuckled coldly, not bothering with a mental message, and spoke loudly for all to hear: "I did promise not to tell, but you've lost your mind and are about to attack me. If I don't reveal some real secrets, how will you believe me? Do you want us to fight each other here in the Yunlun Mountains?"

With that, Yi looked at Rao Yao Yao, full of disappointment: "I thought Wang Da Chui was the fool who couldn't see through it, but you could. You're smart enough to think of my feigned death, my undercover work, and all the needs of my intelligence operations, but..."

Yi seemed extremely frustrated, clenching her hand so tightly that she snapped the candied haws.

"But you couldn't see through any of it and even brought all these people here to expose my identity?"

This utterly helpless emotion deeply affected everyone around.

Rao Yao Yao was almost convinced, but quickly her face turned cold: "Xu Xiao Shou..."

As soon as she uttered those three words, "Xu Xiao Shou," it seemed to ignite the little girl Yi's emotions.

Yi suddenly glared angrily and burst out scolding:

"Rao Yao Yao, are you out of your mind?

"What time is it, and you're still calling me Xu Xiao Shou?

"Even Xiao Xiao Yao knows to go off the grid to support me, but you bring this group and blow my undercover work. Do you think everyone has no temper, that we all have to unconditionally follow you just because your surname is Rao?!"

"Do you know how much I've lost because of your sudden appearance? Don't I have my own tasks?"

The little girl Yi pointed at Rao Jianxian, pressing forward aggressively: "Remember, I'm on the same level as you, not your direct subordinate!"

"..." These explosive words suddenly made the whole scene fall deathly silent.

All the officers turned pale, as if they'd witnessed something unbelievable.

This was truly unbelievable!

Rao Jianxian and Yi were openly arguing!

And the latter was unleashing emotions that had been bottled up for who knows how long, not just about this incident!

"Feared, passive value: 99."

Rao Yao Yao was stunned by the scolding.

She even subconsciously raised her hand to wipe the spittle from her face without realizing how uncomposed it looked, completely absorbed in Yi's outburst.

He knows about all the actions...

He knows the nickname "Xiao Xiao Yao" that only a few high-level people in Sheng Shen Dian Tang know...

He dares to scold me?!!!
