Strange Cards

Chapter 165 Preparation

"Is there really no other way?"

Gu Yue shook her head and retrieved the data.

"The main problem is that people are afraid to gamble, and they can't afford to gamble."

"If your fusion limit is the same as your boss's, which is seven or eight, then everyone will do their best to help you find them. If other bases have them, everyone can even exchange resources with other bases to get them."

"Even though you've combined six cards before, it's still dangerous if your total is 5.5."

"After all, hunters only use one or two strange cards. After the concept of the fusion limit was introduced, no hunter will challenge their own fusion limit."

"The problem lies here: no one knows what will happen if we fuse as many cards as the fusion limit, but the fear is that it might go in a bad direction."

"Your sister-in-law couldn't say anything before, but now you have more than just yourself to rely on."

"Your leader Liu Anyuyan, the Hunters, and even these three little ones are all ties to you."

Life is only once; after death, everything is meaningless.

Shi Yu looked at Gu Yue's serious expression and nodded.

"Okay, I won't insist."

"Even if you don't insist on this matter, you're not allowed to stay up all night doing research anymore. The boss and the others just issued a ban."

"Dr. Guan Yun locked the lab bench and obediently took Bai Yu back to sleep. I took Nan Nan and Xiao Jiu back to sleep."

After saying that, Gu Yue pulled Qi Nannan with one hand and Liu Yu with the other and left. Shi Yu glanced at the laboratory and found that all the entries on it were locked, and even Yan Yun couldn't unlock them.

Having no other choice, Shi Yu carried Bai Yu back to the room. After a fierce battle in the bathroom where she tried to escape but was chased by him, Shi Yu sat on the balcony, looking at the deep night sky.

Nothing could be seen in the night sky; even the stars had hidden themselves away.

Shi Yu looked at Xiao Bo's portrait beside her, picked up the cat girl who was lying on her and placed her on the recliner, then took out three incense sticks, lit them and inserted them into the small incense burner.

"Uncle Xiao, what do you suggest I do?"

But a portrait is just a portrait; it can't possibly give Shigure any response.

However, Shi Yu only offered incense to Xiao Bo and wiped the altar clean. She looked at the dagger but did not choose to take it away; instead, she left it on the altar.

Shigure knew very well what the power of that dagger was; he knew it the instant he touched it.

This dagger's ability is instant kill. If the dagger pierces the opponent's body, it will forcibly devour the flesh and blood of both the victim and the user, thus achieving a one-for-one exchange.

But Gu Yue's words have also become a constraint on Shi Yu now, and he can no longer disregard his life as he used to.

Looking into those deep blue cat eyes, Shi Yu ruffled Bai Yu's hair and, while Bai Yu was enjoying Shi Yu's patting, touched Bai Yu's cat ears before quickly running to the bed and hiding under the covers.

Bai Yu hadn't reacted yet, but feeling the strange sensation on her ear, her face involuntarily turned red.

"Shigure!!!"

"Hey, I just touched your ear, why are you blushing like a teapot?"

"I told you not to touch my ears!!! I'll fight you!!!"

The two playfully wrestled in the blankets for a while, then Shiyu hugged Baiyu and let Baiyu fall asleep with her head on his arm.

Shigure himself had already figured it out during their earlier playful antics: since he couldn't avoid it, he might as well let the storm rage on.

Whether you die sooner or later, you're going to die eventually. If Shigure can drag down a Nightmare-level Demon King before he dies, he'll make a killing. If he can drag down two, he'll make an even bigger profit.

Shigure didn't even dare to think about what would happen if three of them were taken down, but it was just a thought.

After all, Shigure at this point could only rely on Nine Shadows Combined and Instant Kill to make the Nightmare-level Demon King stand still. Apart from these two abilities, Shigure really had no chance of killing the Demon King.

"Enough of this. Let's not worry about tomorrow's troubles today; let tomorrow worry about them tomorrow."

After saying that, Shigure imitated Shigure by inhaling Shigure's breath and then fell asleep while holding the white dumpling in her arms.

The next day, Shiyu had Canhu patrol the entire South Sea City. Canhu carried one of Shiyu's substitute ghost puppets. As soon as Shiyu sensed an eerie aura, he could use the substitute ghost puppet to instantly travel to that location.

Shigure himself continued to design and manufacture weapons, while the task of leading people naturally fell to Gu Yue.

The days that followed were the same, and Shigure went on to design more than thirty new weapons, greatly enhancing the strength of his understanding and reconstruction.

Shigure even secretly understood the super hydrogen nuclear bomb. If Shigure is forced into a corner by the Demon King in the end, Shigure will choose to self-destruct and transform into Patrick Star, so that the Demon King can experience what the ultimate one-for-one art is.

In the south, in the Mysterious Hidden Forest.

Kuang Lei and Zhao Guang suddenly stopped and looked at a towering tree in front of them, saying in a deep voice.

"Come out, it's no fun hiding anymore."

A man wearing a clown mask soon emerged from behind the tree; it was none other than the Joker himself.

"I never expected that you ants would actually have the courage to face me."

"I'm going to settle the score with you today for the three years you sealed me away during that sneak attack."

Kuang Lei raised his hand and looked at the four white souls in it.

"Is this what you wanted?"

"Bai Qi's remnant soul, I don't know what use you have for it."

Joker raised his hand, and the terrifying ghostly power directly severed the arm of Kuang Lei that was holding Bai Qi's remnant soul. Joker looked at the four white remnant souls, and then glanced at the five remnant souls of Bai Qi in his hand.

"One is missing, but where is the remaining remnant soul?"

"We don't know about that; we only found four."

You're lying.

As Joker spoke, he instantly blasted Zhao Guang's body apart, filling the air with a thick, pungent smell of blood.

"It's no use destroying Zhao Guang's body; it's all a fake body. If you want, you can destroy mine too."

"We only found four trails, and you, you bastard, stuck to us like a leech for three whole days. You're like a toad on our feet, not biting, just disgusting."

Joker slightly raised his hand, smashing Kuang Lei's body to pieces, and grabbed Kuang Lei's head, saying...

"Is that Tear of the Goddess in your hands?"

A smile appeared on Kuang Lei's head, and then he spat on Joker.

"So what if it is? Go ahead and find us and steal that knife if you dare!"

"Don't forget that our boss also has a Joker. With his prophetic abilities, you won't be able to find us."

Joker crushed Kuang Lei's head, but he seemed completely unconcerned about the red and white things on his body. He then kicked the big tree behind him, snapping it in two.

"We can't let them get it by opening the door..."

"Otherwise, I won't be able to enjoy the show."
