Strange Cards

Chapter 294 You're too attached to appearances

Shiyu picked a lot of fresh vegetables in the garden, washed them clean in the stream, and then led the four of them into the kitchen with her.

A short while later, Shigure chased all four of them out, because he realized that they weren't there to help, but rather to cause trouble.

Qi Wu then walked into the kitchen and helped Shi Yu cook.

After finishing cooking, the two did not take the dishes out immediately. Instead, they squatted in a corner of the kitchen and each lit a cigarette.

"Kid."

"What's wrong, boss?"

There's something I've wanted to tell you for a long time.

As Qi Wu spoke, he took out an iron wine pot from his person and tossed it to Shi Yu.

"A tribute to your rebirth."

As he spoke, Qi Wu put all the vegetables on a small cart and pushed it out.

Shi Yu paused for a moment, then unscrewed the lid of the wine pot, smoked the cigarettes, and drank the whole pot of white wine in one gulp.

"A tribute to my rebirth."

……

After finishing their meal, Shigure and his group took most of the vegetables, fruits, and meat back with them.

According to Grandpa Gu, the two elderly people couldn't finish it all, so it would be better to give it to Shi Yu and his group.

After all, there are quite a few people in the hunter's base, a total of twelve.

After returning to the base, it took everyone quite a while to unload all the goods. Qi Wu even bought two brand new large refrigerators and put them in the kitchen to store vegetables.

After everyone finished their tasks, they found something to do. Shi Yu also received Guan Yun's approval for leave, so he wouldn't have to do any experiments for a while.

After all, Guan Yun was genuinely afraid that Shi Yu might one day produce a time machine, so he wanted to let this era digest these technologies that were ahead of their time.

Later, Shigure simply bought a bastard bike, put on a helmet, and rode it around the entire Nankai City searching for ghosts.

Bai Yu sat next to the Baka car, and the two searched for the ghost together.

However, the area guarded by the four major bases in the south is the most leisurely, since the people in the southern bases have not patrolled at night for a long time since Shigure and Shirai joined the Hunters.

Shigure now just goes to school occasionally to show his face, then comes back to look for ghosts, and then stays in his room playing games.

Qi Wu even pulled some strings, directly making Shi Yu skip a grade and become a soon-to-be graduate.

After all, Shi Yu often had to go out to do tasks and miss classes, and many teachers had already reported this to Qi Wu.

The South China Sea University has no shortage of rigid and inflexible professors. Even if they know Shi Yu's identity, they still dare to complain to Qi Wu.

Qi Wu dealt with the situation for a while and was extremely annoyed, so he casually arranged an exam for Shi Yu, which made Shi Yu a senior.

Although it's called a senior year, Shigure's class is still the same one. Just today, when Shigure finished class and was about to leave, Tsubaki suddenly reached out and grabbed Shigure.

"Little Grey, wait a minute."

"I need to talk to you."

Shiyu glanced at Chun and tapped her on the smooth forehead with a sharp tap.

"What else could it be?"

"All you do every day is try to have fun or make me laugh. You're like a piece of chewing gum that I can't shake off."

"I'm not talking to you anymore, I need to pick up the baby."

After everyone in the classroom left, Chun suddenly took out the two of spades and tapped it lightly on the table.

"What if the reward is a spade card?"

Shi Yu suddenly turned her head and said with a serious expression.

"So what do you want me to solve for you?"

"Let me make this clear first, I won't do anything that violates the Hunter's rules."

"Not to mention the boss, even if Sister Liu An knew, she would skin me alive."

Chun smiled and pinched Shiyu's chin with her slender fingers.

"It's nothing, just come with me to act in a play tomorrow."

"There are a few rich kids who are really annoying. If the boss hadn't told me beforehand that I couldn't fight in college, I would have already killed them with my big scythe."

"You're quite rich too. Help me put on a show so these rich kids will stop bothering me."

"make a deal."

Shigure took the two of spades, glanced at the pattern on it, and then put it back in his pocket.

"Hey, remember what you promised tomorrow!"

Shi Yu suddenly turned her head, a strange smile on her lips.

"My child, you're too attached to appearances."

"This Xin Su is just so much fun."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shigure dashed off, and Tsubaki couldn't even see Shigure's taillights.

"Damn it!"

"If I could beat him, I'd really like to punch him!"

……

After obtaining the Two of Spades, Shigure looked at the spade cards in his hand and realized that he was only four, five, six, eight, and nine short of completing his set of thirteen.

"The Sin General form should be coming soon."

"We need to work harder to find the remaining strange cards."

"Are you sure you want to use that form, kid?"

A's voice suddenly rang out, followed by a transparent and pitch-black ghost hand reaching out.

"You'd better think this through, kid."

"The direct fusion of thirteen spades creates a monster form that surpasses the King, which is the form I used to fight two Jokers back then."

"The Sin General form was created by mixing your Asura power; it can only help slow down the rate at which your body becomes demonic to the greatest extent possible."

"With me around, all of your Spade-type bodies are perfectly compatible, but your body is still a human body after all. Even if you possess the power of Asura, you are still human."

"Once you collect all thirteen Spade cards, your transformation into a demon will be irreversible until one day you become a demon completely."

"Moreover, there is no precedent for a human to fuse with the thirteen spades. If you take into account your power and mine, you might even transform into the Joker."

"By then you will no longer be human."

"My suggestion is that if you collect the complete set of Spades, you and your catgirl should each use half of the Spades Mystery Cards."

"Having someone to share the burden will put a greater strain on your body, but at least you won't become a demon."

"But what if the later demons evolve to the point where you have to use thirteen spades?"

"Someone has to step up and take the lead, right?"

Shigure got into the car and started the engine.

"Given the current level of the Oni's evolution, I believe that day will not be far off. By then, as the only two users of the Spade series, Bai Yu and I will definitely have one who uses the thirteen Spade series."

"If that's the case, I'd rather become a ghost. I'm already an Asura, so I'm not afraid of any more ghostly things."

Are you really not afraid?

"At least your catgirl is a demon beast; maybe she can avoid the tragedy of becoming a demon herself."

"But I dare not gamble, even if I become a ghost, it doesn't matter."

"I am still the hunter. If I am to die one day, I don't care. I will seal all the power of Asura into the Fiend Blade and then extract the power of Asura from Xiao Jiu's body and seal it into the Fiend Blade, so that the tragedy will be completely stopped by my hand."

"This world is so beautiful that you would be willing to die for it."

"I love this world, so I won't let it be destroyed."

A paused for a moment, and Shiyu, not in a hurry, slowly drove the car out of the campus before A suddenly burst into laughter.

"You humans are definitely the most interesting."

"You're right, kid. This world is indeed beautiful, so beautiful that people would be willing to die for it."

"The only difference between us is that I'm a ghost. Sometimes I really don't understand you humans."

"Those strange ideas and beliefs are really hard for me to understand, but I will understand them soon."

"If you really want to use it, tell me in advance. I will spread all my power and attach it to you. This should help reduce the chances of you turning into a demon."

"I will use my power to control the demonization in your right hand. Anyway, your left hand has already had the power of the Asura sealed, so it won't make a difference if you have this right hand."

"What if my hands are ruined after the seal is applied?"

A pondered for a while, then suddenly thought of something.

"Then I'll just throw a handful of itching powder directly onto your back."

"What if I give you some itching powder too?"

"Then I'll scratch the itch myself."

"Your joke is a bit hellish, my friend."

"You were the one who was born."

As A watched Shi Yu wait at the red light in front of the orphanage, he calmly changed the music playing in his car to "Only Mother is Good in the World" and played it out loud.
