Strange Cards

Chapter 373 It Always Rains Here

As Shi Yu listened to Liu An's words, she suddenly realized that her body was slowly becoming ethereal.

Liu An smiled and looked at Shi Yu gently.

"You're leaving."

"Perhaps the final outcome of this world won't be good, but people live in the present."

"The future is up to the future. All you need to do now is live well and wait quietly for the future to arrive."

"Although I'm not Liu An from your side, I still want to say something on her behalf."

"You must live well, live a good life."

"No matter what happens in the process, you just need to enjoy the ending of the story."

"elder sister..."

I will love you forever.

After saying this, Shigure realized that his body had almost completely dissipated. After Liu An finished speaking his last words, he completely disappeared from this world.

After sensing for a while, Liu An took out the Jack of Diamonds from his right hand after confirming that Shi Yu had left. He then threw the bottle of drink he had given to Shi Yu into the trash can, folded up the sweater, and hid it in the corner of his wardrobe.

She knew that the owner of the dress would never come back.

But all she needs to know is that the owner of this dress is doing well.

In the final moments before disappearing from this world, Shigure witnessed its end.

A natural disaster struck, torrential rain poured down, and the entire world was destroyed in an extremely rapid process.

No one had time to resist; they could only die silently in the torrential rain, and then the world came to its final end.

After emerging, Shigure found herself awake again on the banks of the River of Oblivion. The pattering raindrops pattered on her face, and a tear rolled down her cheek once more.

Shiyu looked at the River of Oblivion and waited for a while but still hadn't entered the third soul of the Forgotten Sin.

Shiyu is waiting, waiting for this rain to stop.

But after waiting for an unknown amount of time, until Shigure completely lost her sense of time and completely lost all feeling, the rain still did not stop.

Shigure sighed, used his sword to support himself, and stepped into the River of Oblivion. He entered the third Soul of Forgotten Sins.

It's always raining here.

……

one year later.

Nanhai City.

Qi Wu looked at the equipment that Guan Yun had just developed and put it on his wrist.

"This is as I requested..."

"That's right, a forced evolution device that's even stronger than the transcendent evolution device."

"This thing can unleash power dozens of times stronger than that of the Evolution Device, and can completely break the restrictions of the Strange Card."

"but..."

"Using this thing can easily lead to a berserk state."

"Because this thing is a defective product, I haven't had time to make the corresponding device needed to control the rampage."

"The fully unleashed Mysterious Card is no weaker than a Nightmare Peak-level Demon King. Using the Forced Evolution Device is equivalent to directly bearing the pressure of a Nightmare Peak-level Demon King."

"If that kid Shigure were still here..."

Qi Wu looked at the forced evolution device on his wrist, took a deep breath, and said.

"It's okay."

"I'm going to start collecting heart-linked cards."

"Although two of the headhunters own Heart cards, I still want to collect them all."

"Xiaoyu has been gone for a year. Someone must take over Tianzai's position and maintain the balance of power among the three parties."

"Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable."

As Qi Wu turned to leave, Guan Yun raised his hand and grabbed Qi Wu's shoulder.

"Boss, I have to remind you."

"Your fusion limit is much lower than that kid Shigure's, only 8.5. You can only fuse a maximum of eight red heart-type weird cards, and even if they are different colors, you can only fuse a maximum of nine cards."

There will never be another Shigure.

"Xiao Jiu has already lost her Shi Yu brother, do you want Xiao Qi to lose her father?"

"And your sister-in-law, you have to think about them too, right?"

"Xiao Jiu is also in your house. You have the lives of three people tied to you."

"When the news of Shi Yu's death was told to Liu Yu, did you know how much that girl cried?"

"That girl's eyes were swollen from crying. If the Chief Hunter hadn't been nearby and helped suppress the Asura power within her, it would have almost rioted."

"Do you want Xiaoqi to go through it too? Do you want your sister-in-law to go through it too?"

"What kind of father are you?"

Guan Yun became more and more agitated as he spoke, and by the end, he was trembling with anger.

"Shigure was my student, and I am deeply saddened by his death."

"No one can understand the ingenious ideas I had during my research, and no one can help me realize those ingenious ideas."

"Don't do anything foolish, just live well."

"That kid's bloody example is right in front of you, can't you see it?"

Qi Wu remained silent, then gently pushed Guan Yun's hand away.

"That kid is also my disciple; he learned a lot of martial arts from me."

"but."

"Someone always has to step up. He was the one who stood in front before, but now he's not here."

"Now it's my turn as the boss to step up."

"We're now in front of you."

……

The River of Oblivion.

Looking at this seemingly endless River of Oblivion, Shi Yu had no idea how many sinful souls she had carried across.

Each time a soul carrying away a lingering sin passes away, Shigure experiences a story from a different timeline, until finally witnessing the world's destruction.

Shigure initially felt quite distressed, but eventually she gradually became numb.

Only tears are never absent.

Pain never lies.

Here, Shigure knew nothing of fatigue or hunger; only endless pain enveloped him.

Shiyu walked in a daze to a lingering spirit and then went inside.

In this timeline, Shigure finds herself suddenly with a body and then appears on a mountaintop.

At the top of the mountain, there was a small pavilion where a person was sitting, with a chessboard already set up.

Shi Yu walked over and took a closer look, only to find that the person sitting inside was herself.

Or rather, another version of yourself on another timeline.

It seemed that Shigure had anticipated Shigure's arrival, and after making a gesture of invitation, he brewed a cup of tea.

"It's finally here."

"Please sit down."

Shigure sat down and discovered that the chess piece next to him was a black one.

The other Shigure didn't seem to be in a hurry. After putting the white pieces back, he took a sip of tea.

"You are me, and I know for sure that you can play chess."

"But I haven't downloaded it for many years, I'll think about it slowly."

"Make your move when you feel like it."

Shigure thought for a moment and then casually placed a piece.

Another Shigure followed closely behind Shigure's move, placing his piece and then taking a sip of tea.

"If your mind isn't on the game, you can think about something else while you're thinking about the game."

"What exactly is a dream?"
