Strange Cards

Chapter 186 A Crow's Mouth

Chun stood not far away, quietly listening to their conversation.

After Liu An finished speaking, Chun walked over and followed Shi Yu slowly to the backstage area.

Tsubaki was always half a step behind Shigure. After they arrived at their resting place, Tsubaki sat down next to Shigure, crossed her legs, and quietly smiled.

"Alright, little gray hair, don't be so nervous. I really didn't come here to cause trouble."

"Our boss sent me to university. He said I should also have some contact with human society."

"I promise, I will absolutely not cause any trouble within the next four years."

"If I cause trouble, I'll be struck by lightning and torn to pieces by ghosts, okay?"

As Tsubaki spoke, she raised three fingers and began to swear an oath. After hearing the oath, Shigure glanced at Tsubaki and said indifferently.

"I hope you remember what you said."

"That's for sure."

Shiyu and Chun sat backstage listening to the speeches of the two principals before Qi Wu also went on stage to give a speech.

"I am one of your principals, Qi Wu..."

"..."

(Half an hour omitted here.)

"Next, please welcome two freshmen representatives to the stage to speak."

Shiyu and Chun then went on stage and began to read their manuscripts. After they finished reading, both Shiyu and Chun felt a little thirsty.

The oldest of the three principals went on stage and took the microphone from Shiyu.

"Next, two freshmen representatives will perform 'You Hide It From Me' for everyone."

Shigure and Tsubaki both drank some water to moisten their throats, and then began to sing.

"So, what's the point of a lonely relationship...?"

"Entwine your fingertips around me, escape me with passionate kisses..."

After Shigure finished singing, Tsubaki took over and continued singing.

"Silent kisses, kisses, kisses, invade my heart."

"I'd still rather tell you in person that you're exhausted..."

Shigure's voice was deep and magnetic, while Tsubaki's clear and melodious voice complemented it.

As soon as the song ended, enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience.

Huo Yun and his two companions quickly grabbed the closest seats to watch, and compared to Huo Yun and Liu Shiying's excitement, Lin Musen's heart slowly cooled down.

"So he already has such a wonderful girlfriend..."

"I should have been braver... even braver..."

"After saying what was on my mind at that moment..."

"Will this ending change...?"

After realizing he had no chance of competing, Lin Musen didn't react much. Instead, he watched Shi Yu silently from afar, offering his heartfelt blessings.

Lin Musen misunderstood that Chun was not Shiyu's girlfriend. Shiyu's real girlfriend was the white-haired girl sitting next to Liu An, whose bright blue eyes seemed to sparkle.

After their performance, Shigure and Tsubaki went offstage to change clothes. Shigure felt much more comfortable in her casual clothes.

Shi Yu used the remaining embers to return the clothes to the car, then stretched and said...

"This casual outfit is still the most breathable."

"Little gray hair, but I think your suit looks better on you~"

Upon hearing that voice, Shigure's DNA stirred once more, while Tsubaki simply patted Shigure on the shoulder and slowly walked away, speaking as she went.

"Don't worry, I've said for the past four years I won't lay a hand on you."

"I'm going home to sleep now. Bye everyone."

As the hunters watched Chun slowly walk further and further away, Shigure Shura's killing intent perception was suddenly activated.

Shigure dodged the bullet by tilting her head to the right without even looking. The performance on stage was almost over, but the audience could still clearly hear the sound of the bullet.

The crowd instantly panicked, and Shi Yu made a decisive statement.

"Boss, you guys need to evacuate the team right away, they might be getting weapons."

"Bai Yu and I will handle it."

As Shigure spoke, he recalled his Remnant Flame Evolution Device and threw it to Baiyu. This time, Shigure took out his Demon Blade and slashed it open with the sheath, splitting a bullet in two.

"Go somewhere further away, Bai Yu, go take care of it."

Shi Yu watched Bai Yu leave and the evacuating crowd, then gripped the hilt of the slashing sword and pointed it straight at a dark path.

"It's getting too boring to keep it hidden any longer."

"Under the Shura's killing intent perception, I don't even need to open my eyes to know where you are. The way you are hiding there is no different from you squatting naked on the street in my eyes."

A person carrying two daggers slowly emerged from the darkness, and Duan Shiyu immediately recognized the logo on his clothes.

"Are you from the Zhang family?"

"good."

The man gripped the dagger and pieced it back together, then pointed at Shiyu and said coldly.

"Come with me, Shura."

"Our Zhang family needs you. If you come to our Zhang family, we will treat you as an honored guest and you will have everything you want."

"Anything that appears in this world."

"Very tempting terms."

Shi Yu nodded, then grabbed the hilt of the slashing blade and pushed it out an inch with his thumb.

"But it doesn't hold much appeal for me; I've already gotten everything I wanted."

Shigure's hair began to turn white, and a hint of red appeared in her eyes.

"Besides, your Zhang family almost killed me last time. Only an idiot would go back with you."

"You have five minutes to make a phone call and tell your master."

"Don't let me find him, or I'll dig up the bones of his ancestors for eighteen generations and boil them into soup to feed the dogs."

"If you refuse a toast, you'll have to drink a penalty cup."

The man pulled out five cards from his pocket, the numbers on them being the hearts: 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

"Does he also have a deck of cards?"

"Obviously not."

A's voice rang out, and then A controlled Shigure's hand to retract the evil sword into his body.

"Although I'm not entirely clear on the power of the Hearts, it's obviously not the kind of fluctuation that a normal, strange card should have."

"The energy in these five cards isn't even as high as that of a single real Mysterious Card; they're pure knock-offs from Pinduoduo."

"Let's solve it with a black hole. I also want to see how well you've mastered black holes after practicing for so long."

Shigure nodded, and then a silver cane appeared in her hand.

"Having five counterfeit cards poses no threat to me."

"Now, please experience what it feels like to be torn apart by gravity."

Shiyu picked up her cane and tapped it lightly on the man, instantly creating a pitch-black hole around him.

However, the black hole was clearly under Shigure's control. Apart from the target man, not even a blade of grass was pulled by the black hole's gravity, and not even a leaf from a tree drifted into the black hole.

The man suddenly felt his body tighten, and then discovered that his skin and flesh were being torn apart inch by inch.

The sensation was slow yet real, and as the tears in his skin grew larger, the man finally couldn't help but scream in agony.

"I'll tell you! I'll tell you where the Zhang family lives!"

"These strange cards are the latest counterfeit products developed by the Zhang family. They can only be used once, and they only have about 1/5 of the power compared to the original cards."

The man spoke very quickly, as if he wanted to reveal everything he knew.
