Strange Cards

Chapter 167 The Gates of Hell Open

Cang Li lowered her head and knelt on one knee as she spoke.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't find the Ten of Spades and the King of Spades that you asked for."

"I accept the punishment."

Gu Nian shook his head and used his ghostly power to help Cang Li up.

"It's not your fault, it's my problem."

"I didn't make a prediction before I sent you to look for it, so it's normal that you couldn't find it after I made the prediction."

"The Ten of Spades is in Qi Wu's possession at the Southern Base, but he has sealed it away."

"The King of Spades is in the Joker's hands, so it's normal that you can't get it."

Gu Nian took the two spade cards and handed them to Chun Dao.

"Remember to give it to Shigure when necessary."

"But you can use it yourself before you give it to him, after all..."

"While the Ghost Whisperer and the Demon are not as strong as the cards from the Ten of Spades and above, they are still quite powerful."

Chun looked at the two of spades with the Ghost Whisperer's mark on it and asked curiously.

"Boss, what do you think the power of this card is?"

Gu Nian glanced at it, then said.

"This card's power can forcibly control the bizarre for one's own use, but it must be of the same level as oneself."

"For example, you can only control SS-level at most right now. Even if you control SSS-level, you will be backfired, or even be controlled by others."

"The power of a demon is that it can enter a demonic state, possessing combat power greater than that of a human body."

As he spoke, Gu Nian walked out and murmured to himself as he looked at the scenery outside.

"Sister, do you still remember your good-for-nothing brother?"

"I'm sorry to you, I'm sorry to Mom and Dad, I'm sorry to my brother-in-law, and I'm sorry to Nannan."

"After everything is over, I wonder if I will be nailed to the pillar of shame, cursed by the world, and infamous for eternity."

"But I have to do this, otherwise the world will really be destroyed."

"hope........."

"Don't hate me."

Gu Nian sighed, then muttered to himself.

"Forget it, just hate me then."

"Don't be sad for me, the future of this world belongs to you."

"And I, a sinner, will die in the old world, taking those demons with me to the underworld."

...........

The day passed quickly, and with Jiuying around, Shiyu didn't go on night patrols, but instead gradually integrated the martial arts within him.

Shi Yu possesses the martial arts style that Xiao Bo taught him since childhood, the martial arts style of Qi Wu, and the ghost-slaying technique of Liu An.

Shigure, on the other hand, constantly integrated his martial arts skills through battles, and even took them to the next level.

Time quickly came to bedtime, but Shiyu didn't feel sleepy at all. She went back to her room to take a shower, and then accompanied Baiyu to the balcony to watch the stars.

As usual, Shi Yu offered three incense sticks to Uncle Xiao, and then carefully cleaned the table.

After finishing everything, Shigure took Shirai to bed, but not long after Shigure fell asleep, A's voice rang out.

"Stop sleeping like a bastard, the big one is coming."

Shi Yu woke up instantly, but Bai Yu slept like a log, not moving an inch.

"What's wrong, A?"

"The gates of hell... have opened."

"Is it in Nanhai City?"

"It's about ten kilometers away from here, and it's located in the South China Sea."

"I see."

Shi Yu gently pulled away, took a pillow, put one of her own shirts on it, and had Bai Yu hug her. Then she went to the laboratory to retrieve her belt.

After thinking for a moment, Shi Yu took off the ring on her hand and placed it on the bedside table, then placed her safety amulet on Bai Yu's body.

At this moment, Bai Yu woke up groggily and grabbed Shi Yu with all her might.

"What are you going to do, Master?"

Compared to being called Shigure in public, Baiyu prefers to be called "Master." Shigure has tried to correct her many times, but to no avail; Baiyu just likes to call her that.

Shi Yu gently kissed Bai Yu's forehead and stroked Bai Yu's head.

"Something's happened, I need to go out."

"You stay home and get some sleep. I'll be back at dawn."

"good......."

Bai Yu scratched his butt without any regard for appearances, turned over, and went back to sleep. Shi Yu took out the black cloak from the wardrobe, put it on, and then took the Infernal-grade Bloodthirst Dagger.

Shigure stood on the balcony, looking at her fully equipped gear, then turned to look at Baiyu, who was sleeping soundly in the room. Shigure then used the edge of the windowsill to jump and flew out.

But what Bai Yu didn't know was that after this trip out, Shi Yu...

He never came back.

............

"Yanyun, how far along is the mecha's production?"

"It's 97% complete. After the production and testing are finished, assembly is expected to take another three hours."

"We can't wait any longer. Skip the testing phase, assemble it, and put it into battle immediately."

"Help me contact the Southern commander of Dawn."

Meanwhile, at a military base, Yan Hua, the Southern Commander of the Dawn Army, was awakened from his sleep by an old-fashioned telephone ringing.

Yan Hua wasn't grumpy when she woke up; she got up and quickly answered the phone.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

"I am Shi Yu, the hunter left behind in Nanhai City. I am now activating the highest alert. The gates of hell have opened in the South China Sea."

"Roger that! I'll set off the alarm right away."

As Yan Hua spoke, he looked at the red button on the wall and slammed it down. Instantly, a piercing alarm sounded throughout the entire military base.

"The Dawnbreaker Army will be providing support in five minutes. The entire Dawnbreaker Army is now under your command."

Shi Yu thought for a moment and then said.

"Have most of the men guard the edge of South China Sea City. I'll hold off most of the high-level ghosts, and you can handle the low-level ones."

"The first target of the Weird is definitely this city full of humans. Your burden is heavier than mine."

As Shigure spoke, he crushed the alarm. Instantly, all the hunters in the surrounding area received the alarm issued by Shigure and began to take action after confirming that the message was true.

"Remember! Don't let a single ghost into the city. If you can't defeat them and need to ask us for help, don't hide anything from us!"

"Otherwise, don't blame me for settling scores later!"

After Shi Yu finished speaking, she hung up the phone. Yan Hua changed into a combat uniform and went outside to begin directing the operation of the entire military base.

Shigure quickly arrived at the seaside, but the tide, which should have been rising at night, suddenly receded, revealing a large area of ​​the battlefield.

Looking at the towering Ghost Gate in the distance, Shi Yu instantly felt a great pressure on her shoulders.

Because the Ghost Gate is surrounded by strange and eerie creatures, which, although ugly, have a powerful aura, starting at the peak of B-rank.

"Kid, if you can't beat them, run away. Don't force yourself."

"Don't forget that the Jack of Spades can't be fatal; only by surviving can there be a chance for revenge."

Shigure shook his head, and the Demon Moon Scythe instantly appeared in Shigure's right hand.

"I have to stay here until the boss and the others arrive."

Even if I'm alone...

"That's enough to hold this line to the death!"
