Ye Shikai awakens in a tomb with his memories intact, realizing he has been resurrected in the modern era. He breaks free from the tomb, finds a highway, and makes his way to a city. After attracting unwanted attention due to his ancient attire and bloodstains, he purchases a new phone and modern clothes. Meanwhile, in Yanjing, Zi Yun and Worm are in their villa discussing the disappearance of their companions on Kunlun Mountain when Zi Yun experiences a sudden shock.

"It’s him, my brother is back." Zi Yun suddenly bounced up from the sofa, almost dropping her phone.

"What?" Worm was stunned at first upon hearing this, taking a long time to react.

"It’s him, it’s him, look quickly." Zi Yun picked up the phone and brought it in front of Worm. It was a video posted by a netizen that had spread online. In the video, a handsome man in ancient attire walked down the street, his clothes stained with blood.

"This... it really is Boss." Worm carefully examined the man in the video. Although he wore ancient clothing and had a historical hairstyle, they recognized him at once.

To avoid mistakes, Worm also compared the person in the video with a photo of Ye Shikai, using computer facial recognition.

"One hundred percent, it indeed is Boss, that’s great." Worm looked at the conclusion on the computer. The facial features matched perfectly; unless there were two identical people in the world, this must be Ye Shikai.

"Boss has been missing for so long, we’ve been worried to death. If we can find him, we’ll be heroes."

"But... how do we tell Lord Moon God? They’re on Kunlun Mountain now, and we can’t contact them." Zi Yun was a bit troubled. Such a big event required notifying Ji Qian immediately, but Kunlun Mountain was a place only cultivators could go. Going there recklessly might lead to danger. Moreover, the opening of Kunlun Mountain’s relics attracted many powerful families. If the two of them, ordinary people, encountered bad guys, it would be disastrous.

"Let’s go find him first." Worm attempted to call Ye Shikai’s phone, but the number couldn’t be reached. That’s obvious, Ye Shikai had a new phone but hadn’t taken the original SIM card. It wasn’t that he was dumb; the key issue was that he had forgotten his own phone number and didn’t know how to use many of the phone’s functions.

"Okay, I’ll immediately gather some people. Zi Yun, do you know where this video was filmed?" Worm asked.

"It was... in Linxian, down south."

"Alright, let’s go overnight."

Linxian.

"How do you use this?" Ye Shikai hid in a corner, fiddling with the phone in front of him. He’s practically half a "man from ancient times" now and even though he knows it’s a phone, many functions are forgotten.

"Look, there’s someone over there." At this moment, a few thugs also noticed Ye Shikai. Seeing his "dazed" appearance and that he was alone, they approached him.

"Kid, you look unfamiliar, are you new here?" The leading thug smoked a cigarette and spoke nonchalantly, clearly intending to bully the newcomer.

"What do you mean by ’new’?" Ye Shikai retorted.

"You don’t admit you’re new? So ungrateful." As the thug finished speaking, he tried to make a move. Ye Shikai grabbed his wrist and, with a quick twist, snapped it.

Crack.

His Inner Strength snapped the thug’s arm, causing him to scream like a slaughtered pig. Ye Shikai hadn’t intended to be so "forceful," but since coming back, his Inner Strength seemed to have increased significantly. Coupled with just arriving back, he wasn’t entirely in control of it. He meant to give a light punishment, but it seemed this arm might take months to heal.

"Get him!"

"Quick."

Ye Shikai was a cultivator; how could a few thugs be his match? Even without using Inner Strength, his martial arts alone could handle twenty more of them effortlessly. He subdued them in no time.

"Who... who are you?"

"You ask who I am? Frankly, even I don’t know who I am." Ye Shikai chuckled bitterly.

Suddenly, sirens were heard outside the alley, and several police officers rushed in.

"Don’t move, stay still."

Ye Shikai raised his hands. It seemed someone had called the police. These thugs wanted to teach him a lesson but got taught instead.

"Take them all back."

Ye Shikai felt a bit helpless. He did engage in physical action, so naturally, he needed to go back to explain the situation since the police were unaware of the context.

Police station.

"Who are you?" A middle-aged man approached him, seemingly the leader there. Ye Shikai didn’t speak, only handing him his ID card.

"You’re from Yanjing."

"Yanjing, yes, yes, I’m from Yanjing." The mention of "Yanjing" triggered some of his memories.

"Is that so." Noticing Ye Shikai’s strange tone, the officer also had some doubts. They caught several people this time, but Ye Shikai was an "unknown face." Despite his odd demeanor, he didn’t seem like a bad guy. Could he be mentally unstable?

"You seem a bit strange. How did you get to Linxian?"

"Me... honestly, I don’t remember how I got here." Ye Shikai wanted to brush it off but couldn’t think of a reason immediately.

"Director Chen, I’m here." At this time, a policewoman entered from outside.

"Zhang, you came all the way from Yanjing, that’s quite the journey."

The policewoman slowly approached and looked around, immediately spotting Ye Shikai sitting in the chair.

"You... you’re here." Seeing Ye Shikai, the policewoman couldn’t help but get excited and shouted loudly, "I heard you went missing, searching everywhere, and Miss Su and Miss Ji are also very worried about you."

"Who are you? I don’t recognize you." Ye Shikai looked at the policewoman curiously. His memory was so fuzzy that he couldn’t recognize people.

"I’m Zhang Ting. We even worked on cases together. How could you not remember me?" Indeed, it was Zhang Ting. She was in Linxian on a business trip from Yanjing.

"Zhang Ting, I don’t know you." Ye Shikai shook his head.

"What’s wrong, Zhang, do you know him?" Director Chen asked curiously.

"Yes, he’s my friend and even helped our police department solve cases. By the way, how did he end up here?" Zhang Ting asked in return.

"Some thugs tried to bully him and ended up getting beaten instead. Goodness, over twenty people couldn’t match him, your friend’s quite skilled."

"Of course, otherwise, how could he help with cases?" Zhang Ting pulled him by the arm, "Let’s go, no matter what happened, I’ll take you back to Yanjing first."

"I... I don’t even know you, why should I go back with you?" Ye Shikai pulled away her hand, slightly annoyed.

"Are you genuinely confused or pretending?" Zhang Ting took out her phone and flipped to a photo. It was a picture of the two of them. Back then, they solved the Mothman case, and this photo was taken at the celebration banquet.

"So, do you believe me now?"
