Strange Cards

Chapter 386 I am not him

After receiving a signal from Gu Nian, Shi Yu raised her hand and used her abilities to reconstruct water, filling almost half of the pit.

After Gu Nian used his power to send the two ghosts inside, he sealed them away, and then a group of people watched the cricket fight.

Chun was exceptionally diligent, holding a bag of potato chips and shouting loudly.

"Big dog! Kill him!"

"Water ghost! You go too!"

"Don't lose!"

The otherworldly beings were already used to it, and when Tsubaki handed out potato chips, they all took them and started eating.

Shigure looked at the three Aces of each suit on the table, thought for a moment, and then threw the Ace of Spades over.

Gu Nian noticed Shi Yu's subtle actions, but didn't say anything, only nodded.

The two ghosts quickly decided the winner, and unsurprisingly, the one who won was the demon king of the Earthly Tribulation level, Cerberus.

Although the water ghost has its own purest rules, the difference in strength is too great, and the rules cannot make up for it.

After finishing, Gu Nian grabbed the three-headed hellhound with one hand, planted it in the ground with a backhand thrust, clapped his hands, and threw the blank card into the air.

The blank card floated on the back of Cerberus, and at that moment, Ye Xue looked at the five strange cards in her hand and threw them all into the sky.

Ye Xue held a short sword in her hand, and then five strange cards grew larger and more illusory, standing in front of her.

Ye Xue held a short sword in her hand, and Shi Yu sensed that the short sword carried a sealed power.

"This thing is actually a level 1000 ghost artifact..."

"These guys really went all out..."

Shiyu looked at Yexue, who held the short sword and pierced through the five strange cards one by one before stabbing it hard into the chest of Cerberus.

The short sword pierced the chest of Cerberus, and then the floating, blank, eerie card unleashed a terrifying suction force, sucking Cerberus straight in.

Soon, the three-headed hellhound was sucked in, and Gu Nian took the strange card that was floating in the air without any pattern into his hand.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the three-headed hellhound on the blank background and the A marked on the edge.

Everyone retrieved their strange cards, but Gu Nian, keeping a watchful eye, said to Chun.

"Tsubaki."

"Remember to return the Ace of Hearts."

"Don't ask for the Jack of Hearts back. If you borrow and return, it's easy to borrow again."

Chun nodded, then turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared.

Gu Nian glanced at the cards in his hand, then scanned the group of otherworldly beings.

"Ye Xue, Cang Li, come with me outside to test the power of this card."

"The rest of you can do whatever you want."

Shi Yu nodded, then slowly disappeared into the air.

……

At sunset.

Shigure arrived at the place where she and Shigure used to watch the sunrise together, but the sunrise they watched together had turned into a sunset she watched alone.

Shigure held a can of beer in his hand, with the Sin Sword stuck in the ground beside him.

After emerging from the Sea of ​​Oblivion, Shigure developed a liking for the feeling of numbing himself with alcohol.

In this cruel world, Shigure can use alcohol to temporarily escape the harsh reality.

Even if you eventually wake up, the time spent drunk is still meaningful.

Shiyu sipped her drink slowly, as the setting sun cast its last rays, their blood-red glow falling upon her.

Just then, Shigure suddenly heard a noise behind him.

"Why would anyone come to this place?"

Shigure pulled up the hood, hiding himself completely in the cloak.

Shigure was still holding a beer can in his left hand, while his right hand was already on the Sin Sword, pulling it out of the ground.

"Who is it?"

Shi Yu took a sip of beer and spoke coldly, then her dark gray pupils contracted sharply upon seeing the person who had arrived.

The people who arrived were Qi Nannan and Liu Yu, who had received the news and come together.

Looking at Shigure wearing the cloak, and seeing that familiar figure and that cloak that they knew all too well, the two finally confirmed that Shigure was still alive.

They were constantly worried that their reasoning was incorrect, fearing that they might reopen the scabbed wound.

After seeing Shigure in person, the two finally confirmed their suspicions.

"Brother Shigure!"

Looking at the person hidden in the cloak in front of her, Liu Yu recognized the person from that familiar feeling.

Just as Liu Yu was about to pounce, Shi Yu took a step back and used her ghostly power to separate the two.

"Brother Shiyu?"

"..."

"I am not him."

"Shigure died three years ago on Nanhai Mountain. My name is Jie."

"The boundary to save the world."

"You're lying!"

Liu Yu suddenly spoke up, pointing to the two rings on Shi Yu's left hand.

"I won't mistake someone for someone else."

Even if the hair color becomes grayer, the pupils turn a dead gray, and even the appearance changes a lot.

"I wouldn't mistake someone for someone else."

"Because the Asura power sealed within me was inherited from you!"

"Those powers were originally yours!"

As Liu Yu spoke, her clear eyes turned red.

"I don't care what your name is, all I know is that you are the Shigure I know."

"Brother, after you left, Xiao Jiu was homeless for three years."

"Now that you're back, do you really intend to leave me all alone and miserable there?"

"I don't want to be alone anymore, I want you back."

"No matter what, you're still my brother. Xiao Jiu just wants family."

"You are my only family!"

"You should be like your mother..."

"Am I to be left all alone in this cold world?"

Shi Yu listened to Liu Yu's words and almost succumbed to her persuasion several times.

But the fates of those destroyed worlds are still vivid in his mind. Even if Shigure wanted to go back, the responsibilities he carried on his shoulders would not allow him to.

The pair of wings behind him, representing his responsibility and what he must do.

Shi Yu glanced at the two children and noticed that Qi Nannan's eyes were also full of pleading, as if she was begging him to go back.

Shi Yu forced herself to turn around and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"I'm sorry, children, you've really mistaken me for someone else."

"I am not Shigure."

"But..."

Liu Yu was about to say something when Shi Yu interrupted her first.

"I assure you, child."

"In the new world where everything has ended, Shigure will come to see you."

"In that new world where there are no more tears, I promise."

"You will meet again in the bright sunshine."

"No more crying, only smiles on my face."

As Shi Yu spoke, she took a step and flew into the air, her whole being merging into the vast night.
