Yao Shen wakes up the next day feeling as if he has been run over by a truck, and yet still well-rested, his mind clear and sharp.
Which is how he knows he needs to have a fuller picture of what is going on.
"Are you there?" he asks aloud, probing for the, mostly unobtrusive, presence in his mind.
[Yes]
"Were you awake, when I was...uh, in the Underworld?"
It takes the System some time to reply.
[There is a period of time of which this system has no record. Apologies]
Again? How come the Underworld, the restaurant and Xin Hulei's apartment all have the same effect on the System?
In any case, that's not the most important thing at hand.
"My goal is to 'capture' Xin Hulei? Not kill him, right?"
[Affirmative. Host must not kill Demon King Xin Hulei, merely take possession of his spirit stone and use it to control him and send him back to demon realm.]
