Strange Cards

Chapter 389 On the Brink of Madness

After the battle, Shigure, exhausted, made her way to a dark cave and collapsed inside.

"Ughhhhhh!!!"

Shiyu screamed in agony, frantically grabbing at her head with both hands.

The memories of the dead crashed into Shigure's heart like a tsunami, pushing him to the brink of collapse.

As Shi Yu looked at the faces and voices of those who had died in her mind, and those beautiful days of the past, she felt even more deeply lost.

Those things swirled and swirled in Shigure's mind, and all the beautiful days of the past played out repeatedly in his mind.

Perhaps Shigure should linger in this beautiful dream and wipe away her tears when she wakes up the next day.

But Shiyu's childhood experiences made him an extremely realistic person; he knew all too well that they were dead.

One after another, they were all sent away by Shiyu himself.

The power of the Joker generated within Shigure's body begins to devour his heart. Once the time is right, Shigure will completely lose himself.

He has been reduced to a monster that only knows how to kill.

Shigure's last shred of rationality was being maintained, but it was nothing more than a death throes.

Shigure's consciousness struggled and sank, while A kept pulling at Shigure's consciousness, hoping to pull it out.

But this time it wasn't against an external force, but rather the darkness within Shigure's heart that flared up.

That darkness is where the Joker was born.

Even A, who was once all-powerful, was powerless this time.

Shiyu was in agony, and just as she was about to succumb, a gentle voice rang in her mind.

"Live well."

Upon hearing that voice, Shi Yu's consciousness, which was about to succumb, instantly snapped back to reality.

"sister..."

"It's my sister's voice..."

At that moment, Shigure felt something warm envelop her.

"elder brother!"

Shiyu felt the warmth coming from her chest, and tears streamed down her face once again.

"Miaomiao..."

At that moment, Shigure suddenly found that her vision was blurry and that she had found herself on a cliff by the sea.

The cliff is covered with lush green grass, and at the end of the cliff stands a white-haired figure with his hands behind his back, as if gazing at the ocean in the distance.

A gentle breeze stirred her white hair, and her sensitive cat ears twitched on her head.

A fluffy white tail peeked out from under the white dress, swaying back and forth.

"white...."

"White Rain!!!"

Shi Yu called out, and the white figure seemed to hear her words, turning its head to look at her with a gentle smile.

Those deep blue eyes were as clear as the sky, and Shi Yu clearly saw her own reflection in them.

"Owner."

"Master cannot come over yet."

"Miaomiao and I are living very well in the Pure Land, so don't worry about us."

"Master, it's time to go back."

Bai Yu ran forward and hugged Shi Yu tightly.

Shiyu felt that familiar scent and warm embrace again, and Baiyu suddenly pushed Shiyu gently.

It was this moment that brought Shigure back to consciousness from her descent.

Shi Yu suddenly sat up, looked at the sweat-soaked spot on the ground, and then suddenly remembered something, raising her left hand.

The ring on her left hand was glowing faintly, and Shi Yu suddenly understood why she had been able to break free from her descent into despair.

When Bai Yu died, it seemed that she had anticipated that Shi Yu would take the ring with her. This ring was a very powerful ghost artifact.

It was powerful enough to pull Shigure's consciousness back from the brink of collapse.

Shi Yu looked at the two rings on her left hand and found herself feeling very uncomfortable.

It felt like a huge rock was blocking my chest, and I couldn't breathe no matter what I did.

Feeling the tightness in her chest, Shigure hid herself in her cloak again and left.

From a tree not far away, Gu Nian and Chun watched Shi Yu leave, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Very good."

"Yes, that's great."

Gu Nian looked at Chun, who was standing beside him with a worried expression, and then patted Chun on the shoulder.

"Girl, if you like someone, go for it."

"At least if you fail in the end, you won't resent your own inaction."

Chun gently shook her head and said.

"No, I can't win."

"Bai Yu holds too much weight in his heart; his heart is completely filled with Bai Yu."

"I think it's good to stay by his side as a companion."

"At least he's still by my side."

……

the next day.

Inside a warehouse near Nanhai City.

The hunter was engaged in a fierce battle with a group of ghosts, but the two sides were evenly matched and neither could gain the upper hand.

At that moment, a crisp metallic sound rang out, followed by a crisp click.

Everyone turned their heads and saw Shigure standing at the door with the Sin Sword, coldly staring at the hunter inside.

"I will seal away your strange cards."

As he spoke, Shigure used the small book to complete his transformation, turning back into the black and white swordsman before going inside.

With a single sword strike, Shigure separated the battlefield between humans and demons. Just as Shigure was about to attack the hunters, the demons let out terrifying howls and pounced on him.

Shi Yu looked at the grotesque appearance of the ghosts, closed the novel, and then reopened it.

Black and white energy continuously flowed into the Sin Sword in Shigure's hand. Then, Shigure slashed out with his sword, cutting the ghosts in half at the waist.

Everyone watched as Shigure cleaved those little devils in two with a single sword strike, cold sweat beading on their faces.

There's no way around it; Shigure's fighting prowess is just too strong. To say they're not even on the same level is an understatement.

Shigure's current combat prowess is more aptly described as a deus ex machina.

After all, the fact that the basic form could kill all those demons that even all the Southern Hunters together would have difficulty dealing with with a single sword strike was already quite impressive.

Not to mention that Shigure also has an enhanced form that he hasn't used yet.

"Light rain..."

As Qi Wu spoke, he still used the Forced Evolution Device to fight against Shi Yu.

Shi Yu didn't use a sword. After planting the sword in the ground, she used only her fists, which were in the basic form of the Sin Sword, to knock Qi Wu down.

Shigure's sudden surge in power stemmed from his transformation into a Joker, which is to say, from the power that influenced him.

Nullification had become a passive skill; every attack Qi Wu launched was nullified, and then Shi Yu would land punch after punch on him.

Shi Yu didn't kill him; she only knocked Qi Wu's transformation off before stomping on and shattering Qi Wu's forced evolution device.

Qi Wu stared at the broken forced evolution device at Shi Yu's feet, his tiger eyes wide open, and he cried out in pain.

"No!"
