Strange Cards

Chapter 370 The Sea of ​​Oblivion

Shigure, wearing a black cloak, lay on the riverbank, and a light rain fell from the sky, hitting her face.

However, the rain was peculiar; it was gray.

"Hiss..."

"Where am I?"

Shiyu opened her eyes and helped herself to her feet.

Shigure looked around, but there was nothing there.

The surrounding world was completely shrouded in darkness, except for the river beside him.

This river comes from darkness and goes back to darkness, and countless pale white phantoms stand in the river.

"Child, you..."

"You're awake?"

Shi Yu turned her head to look at the source of the sound and found that an old fisherman was standing not far from her.

The old fisherman was wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat, and he was holding a boat pole made of some kind of bamboo.

The boat pole was stuck in the ground, and a small raft made of bamboo was tied to it.

"Excuse me, sir/madam, where is this place?"

Upon hearing Shi Yu's words, the old fisherman raised his eyes and looked at Shi Yu with his long-clouded eyes.

"This is a place called the Sea of ​​Oblivion."

"It is also the sealed space of the Seven of Spades."

"And I am the first user of the Seven of Spades."

"He is also the only one of the Seven of Spades to have recognized a master."

Shi Yu was taken aback for a moment, then said.

"Is that you?"

The old fisherman nodded, then released the pole he was holding and led Shiyu forward to a phantom figure.

"I know you want to go out, and I can let you out."

"But you have to agree to one condition."

"What are the conditions?"

Shi Yu looked at the old fisherman, but the old fisherman suddenly made a move and pushed Shi Yu into the phantom.

Before Shi Yu could react, she had already crashed into the phantom. Then, after a dizzying spin, Shi Yu found herself back in Nanhai City.

Shi Yu wandered aimlessly through Nanhai City before finally finding the Hunter's Base.

"That senior just let me out like that?"

As Shi Yu was thinking, she found herself standing in front of the Hunter's Base gate, the sensor door remaining closed no matter what she did.

"strangeness."

"Isn't this the base controlled by Smoke Cloud? Why isn't it opening the door for me?"

Shi Yu looked at the password input area to the side, and then walked forward. Just as she was about to click the password, she found that her hand had actually passed through it.

"This is...."

After trying several times and finding that he could pass his hand through the gate, Shigure walked to the hunter's gate.

Shi Yu looked at the door, closed her eyes, and rushed forward two steps.

When Shi Yu opened her eyes, she found herself behind the gate.

"Have I turned into some kind of wandering ghost?"

As Shiyu walked around the base, she noticed that the faces of those who had died were still missing, and everyone was still going about their lives as usual.

Shi Yu stood in the conference room, and a moment later Qi Wu pushed open the door and walked in. Then, Shi Yu actually saw another version of herself.

"this..."

Shi Yu watched as another version of herself walked up and waved, only to find that the other version of herself seemed unable to see her.

Shigure carefully observed his other self and drew conclusions from each of his expressions.

"This... is me."

"Then who am I?"

Shigure tried to call out to A within her, but A had also fallen silent.

Shigure decided to wait and see how the world would develop.

After losing Bai Yu and Miao Miao, Shi Yu found himself completely trapped in the Asura realm. If it weren't for Liu Yu being able to share some of the Asura power leaking out from Shi Yu, Shi Yu would have been driven mad long ago.

Liu Yu became the last wall in Shi Yu's heart.

Although the other three walls had collapsed, this wall could still shield Shiyu from some of the wind and rain, and at least make Shiyu feel that the world was still a beautiful place.

Days passed by, just like any other day.

Shi Yu goes on missions every day, and then picks up Liu Yu from school.

Meanwhile, the demon grew stronger day by day. At first, Shigure overwhelmed the demon, then Shigure faced some pressure, and eventually the demon and Shigure were evenly matched. In the end, Shigure was completely unable to defeat the demon.

But one day in the future, a natural disaster struck.

Countless ghosts rushed out from who knows where, and gates of hell rose up one after another, from which countless evil spirits poured out.

Shigure and the last hunter fought desperately, and after learning that the Joker was the source of the disaster, they rushed to the Joker's side.

But by then, the Joker had evolved into its complete form. Even if all the hunters attacked, they were all killed by the Joker, and they all died in front of Shigure.

Shigure survived to the end because of his strength. After witnessing Qi Wu die in front of him, Joker took the remaining strange cards from Shigure and then gathered all the strange cards together.

After all the strange cards came together, something terrifying happened.

The colors of the world were slowly erased, and the things in Shigure's eyes slowly dissipated like paper being burned, until they disappeared completely.

But when they got to the final step, Shigure suddenly understood.

The world has been destroyed.

Everything was destroyed.

Nothing was left.

Upon realizing this, Shigure suddenly sat up and began to gasp for breath.

Shiyu looked at the tears in the corners of her eyes and realized that everything that had happened before was real.

Shi Yu looked at the still dim sky around her and the old fisherman standing in front of her, and barely managed to stand up.

"You've already been through this once, so you should know what to do next."

"This is the Sea of ​​Oblivion, and the river beneath your feet is called the River of Oblivion."

"Countless sinful souls dwell in the river, filling the entire River of Oblivion."

"The Souls of Sin are formed from those who were sealed inside by the Seven of Spades. They cannot die and occupy the places in the River of Oblivion, thus forming the Souls of Sin."

"They were born in the shadow of the Seven of Spades."

"Your mission is to save all the souls of the deceased from their sins, reach the end of the River of Oblivion, and find me on the shore of the Sea of ​​Oblivion."

"I will send you out then."

Shi Yu looked at the old fisherman, who pressed his straw hat on his head a few times, wrapped his raincoat tightly, picked up the boat pole, and propelled the small raft away along the River of Oblivion.

The old fisherman gradually disappeared from Shigure's sight, and Shigure, looking at the vanished soul of the lingering sin before him, understood what was going on.

"Do all the lingering souls of sin represent a timeline in the outside world?"

"If the end result of this world is inevitable destruction, then can we find a way to save this world in the Soul of Sin?"
