Strange Cards

Chapter 471 Say Goodbye to Dad

Two weeks later.

Qi Wu looked at Guan Yun, who was clearly on the verge of exhaustion, and then opened the two alloy boxes with spatial technology on the table and said.

"Little Guan Yun..."

"you..."

"I'm fine."

Guan Yun looked at her empty coffee cup and instead of making coffee, she made herself a cup of hot milk.

After drinking the hot milk in one gulp, Guan Yun slumped into the chair, took a good breath, and then said...

"I haven't slept much for the past two weeks; I've spent the entire time in the deep hibernation pod."

"I've made both belts, here you go."

"I am a research hunter, and this is all I can do."

"I'm leaving the rest to you, boss."

Qi Wu nodded, took out the heart-shaped belt, put it on his waist, and then placed all the strange cards tied to the heart in the card box on the right side of the belt.

Qi Wu used the space compression ability of the alloy box to compress the huge alloy box, which was big enough to hold a belt and a sword, into the size of a Rubik's Cube, and then put it in his pocket.

Just as Qi Wu was about to go find Shi Yu, Gu Yue called.

"Honey, where have you been?"

"Today is Nan Nan's birthday. Didn't we promise to take her to the amusement park?"

"Xiao Jiu has already gone to her godmother's place. Nan Nan and I are waiting for you at the amusement park entrance."

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Qi Wu hesitated for a moment.

Qi Wu had already learned from Gu Nian that he would die in the final script, and Qi Wu was mentally prepared.

But when he thought that this was his daughter's last birthday while he was alive, and possibly the last time she would see him, Qi Wu hesitated.

Seeing Qi Wu hesitate, Guan Yun stood up from his chair and patted Qi Wu on the shoulder.

"Boss, go keep your wife and Nannan company."

"I'm just here to check out the base; it'll only take me a day anyway."

"No, what if something goes wrong?"

"Then I'll hold on, even if I can't hold on, I'll still hold on."

"Boss, what you need to do now is go and keep Nan Nan company, and then help that kid Shi Yu one last time."

Don't let yourself have any regrets.

Qi Wu turned his head to look at Guan Yun, and clenched his fist tightly.

"I see."

Thank you.

But what Qi Wu didn't know was that when he turned and left, it would be the last time he saw Guan Yun.

……

Sitting in the otherworldly realm, Gu Nian gently tapped the armrest of his chair, looking at the crowd below who were missing a seat.

"Has Shiyu gone to Nanhai Mountain yet?"

"I'm off, boss."

Chun spoke at this moment, and Gu Nian nodded, continuing to gently tap the armrest.

However, as the few people who knew Gu Nian best, all of them could see that Gu Nian was quite nervous.

After a while, Gu Nian addressed Cang Li, who was sitting in the lower seat.

"Cang Li, go and keep watch at Nanhai Mountain."

"Don't let anything interfere with the final battle between Shiyu and Qiwu; this scenario is crucial."

"The Mist Calamity has arrived, making a total of two with the Joker."

"I will go down and fight to the death to stop those two bastards from bothering Shiyu and Qiwu."

"..."

"My old friends are passing away one after another."

"Like leaves falling in the wind."

……

evening.

Shiyu arrived at the South Sea Mountain and quietly awaited the arrival of the natural disaster, while on the other side...

Qi Wu and Qi Nannan were sitting on a bench playing a drinking game, while Gu Yue went to buy them some food.

"Rock, paper, scissors!"

"Rock, paper, scissors!"

After playing several rounds, the two had roughly equal wins and losses, when Qi Wu's phone rang.

Qi Wu looked at his daughter who was hugging a teddy bear and gave her an apologetic smile.

"Nannan".

"Dad, answer the phone."

Qi Nannan nodded obediently, while Qi Wu's expression changed instantly after the call was connected.

Is the news true?

"Okay, Guan Yun should have already gone there."

"I'm coming right away."

Just as Qi Wu was about to turn off his phone, Gu Nian sent him a text message.

Qi Wu looked at the text message from Gu Nian saying that he would take action and let him go to Shi Yu for a decisive battle, and hesitated as he looked at his daughter in front of him.

He didn't want his daughter's birthday to become his death anniversary, nor did he want her to remember that he died on this day when she celebrated her birthday in the future.

Qi Wu hesitated for a long time before finally replying with an "okay".

Qi Wu looked at Qi Nannan, and at that moment Gu Yue, carrying food, ran back.

Looking at his wife and daughter, Qi Wu decided to find an excuse to leave.

"The child's mother, Nan Nan."

"Um, I suddenly have a meeting to attend."

"what?"

"Is Dad leaving already?"

Qi Nannan hugged her teddy bear, her little face full of unhappiness.

"Sorry, it's your birthday today."

As Qi Wu spoke, Gu Yue, who had been with Qi Wu for so many years, had already seen through something and spoke with a smile.

"Dad still has very important work to do."

"Let's say goodbye to Dad here."

Qi Wu stared at Gu Yue in shock, seemingly unaware of why she would do such a thing.

"Ah Yue, I..."

Before Qi Wu could finish speaking, Gu Yue interrupted him.

"but."

"You're not going to a meeting, are you?"

As Gu Yue spoke, she smiled at Qi Nannan, signaling her not to follow, and then took Qi Wu's hand and led him to a corner.

Gu Yue pulled open Qi Wu's clothes and looked at the red heart-shaped belt that Qi Wu always wore.

"Instead, we're going to fight, aren't we?"

Gu Yue gently touched her belt and smiled.

"This belt looks a lot like Xiaoyu's old one; it's very much your style."

"I already knew."

"Don't forget I also have access to the base, and besides..."

"You would never lie, Qi Wu."

As she spoke, Gu Yue hooked her arms around Qi Wu's neck and began to sob softly.

"I know I can't stop you, and I know what you're going to do."

"I have no reason to stop you, but I still want to say..."

"Try to come back alive."

"For me, and for Nan Nan."

Qi Wu nodded vigorously, then hugged his wife.

After a while, Gu Yue finally composed herself and waved to her daughter in the distance.

"Nannan, come here."

Qi Nannan ran over carrying the teddy bear, while Gu Yue squatted down and pointed at Qi Wudao.

"Nannan, tell Daddy to be careful on the way."

"Dad still has very important work to do."

"There are still many people waiting for Dad."

Qi Nannan looked at Qi Wu and smiled.

"Dad, keep up the good work!"

Qi Wu squatted down and patted Qi Nannan's head.

"Nannan, so that you can live happily every day."

"Dad will work hard."
