Strange Cards

Chapter 424 The Tragedy Begins

After leaving the cemetery, Shigure saw three people hurrying around a corner.

They were three women dressed in business attire, and although they had dressed up carefully, they still couldn't hide their exhaustion.

Shiyu recognized them at first glance; there was no way around it, the memories they had left on Shiyu were too deep.

Those were all rather cruel memories. Shi Yu glanced at the three of them, then lowered the brim of her hat.

Those were the three daughters of the Shi family, and now, life has worn down their edges.

Before Shiyu returned to the capital to seek revenge, the three of them were still young ladies who enjoyed all the luxuries and riches.

But after Shi Yu returned and personally destroyed the Shi family's foundation, the status of the three of them plummeted, becoming even less than chickens.

Shi Yu looked at the three pitiful people, but felt no pity for them.

There's always a reason why someone is pitiful. If Shiyu didn't come back alive to take revenge, it would prove that Shiyu had already died in the forest of Nanhai City.

Shiyu never regretted the choices she made, and she didn't feel sorry for the three of them, only a little sad.

When Shi Yu picked up the butcher's knife that day, she severed all ties with the Shi family. She only took action after Old Master Shi passed away.

The old man had single-handedly established the Shi family's status, but the foundation he had built was destroyed by his grandson, yet the old man harbored no resentment.

On the contrary, he was very much in favor.

At this moment, A emerged from the shadows and looked at the three people who were hurrying by.

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that."

"The three ladies who were once high and mighty have now fallen to the level of humble working people. It's quite a contrast."

"What, are you getting soft-hearted?"

Shi Yu shook her head and turned away.

"No, I'm just a little curious."

"They're now regretting why that scoundrel abandoned me in the forest back then; they might have been better off just finding a reason to kill me."

"That way, the three of them won't have to support those two disabled people, and they can live the life of wealthy heiresses."

"After all, they would never have imagined that the bullet fired twelve years ago would hit them squarely between the eyebrows twelve years later."

"They paid the price for their choices, and I paid the price with twelve years of my life."

"The world is a fair scale."

Everything you do comes at a price; for every gain, there is a loss.

After saying that, Shigure disappeared into the shadows, while A smiled, casually tossed a pebble, and also vanished into the darkness.

This book was first published on 2009.com, providing you with a reading experience free of errors and disordered chapters.

The pebble exploded in front of the three of them, turning into countless fine stone powders that directly blinded them.

This can be considered A's little act of revenge.

……

Back at the Otherworlders' base, Shigure was still dressed the same. She didn't say anything and just sat quietly in her seat.

Gu Nian looked at the unusually large number of people who had arrived this time and coughed lightly a few times.

"Everyone, tomorrow is the day disaster will begin."

"Gentlemen, let's do what we always do: help the southern hunters, and don't let them all die this time."

"Then I..."

Just as Shi Yu was about to speak, Gu Nian shook his head and said...

"You and Chun will watch from the sidelines. Unless absolutely necessary, you cannot participate in the fight."

"Even in the next battle, you can only use the Sin Sword, and Tsubaki will have to stay by your side."

"Your last emotional outburst was already quite serious. If it weren't for your last bit of rationality leading you to fight the Joker in the ocean, I guarantee that the entire South would have been destroyed by your battle."

"The aftershocks of your battle alone triggered a level 10 tsunami. If the Hunters and the Dawn hadn't made preparations in advance, South Sea City would have been gone long ago."

Gu Nian looked at Shi Yu and said with a serious expression.

"You can't let your emotions get out of control again. This time, I can rely on the power of fate to bring that little girl back to you, but next time I might not be able to."

"While the power of fate is strong, the invalid rules within you are equally powerful."

"You can't make a mistake, understand?"

"Tsubaki can stabilize her emotions, so I feel at ease having her by your side."

Shi Yu nodded, and at that moment Kuang Lei put his feet on the table and said casually.

"Great hero, if you can't control your emotions, I suggest you go back to kindergarten."

"I remember there were methods to teach children how to control their emotions in kindergarten or preschool. If you really can't do it, you can come back after you've learned them."

"I don't want the person who bets everything on the screen to be a fool."

Hearing Kuang Lei's obviously nitpicking words, Shi Yu remained silent and acquiesced.

In fact, the decline of consciousness was a decision made jointly by Shigure and A. Although "Raging Thunder" sounds harsh, it is not wrong.

This time, the near-death experience of Liu Yu and Qi Nannan was too much of a shock to Shi Yu. Although there was a reason, it is true that Shi Yu couldn't control his emotions.

Shi Yu lowered her head in silence, seemingly lost in thought.

When Shigure lowered her head, a lollipop suddenly appeared in her eyes. She looked in the direction from which the lollipop came and found that it was Tsubaki who had handed it to her.

Tsubaki pushed Shigure towards her, and when Shigure refused, she took the initiative to remove the wrapping paper, pry open Shigure's mouth, and stuff it inside.

Chun looked at Shiyu and mumbled something indistinctly.

"Eat some sugar; sugar can help stabilize your emotions. Give it a try."

"Even though you don't like sweets, you should always try something new, shouldn't you?"

Shiyu, with a lollipop in her mouth, suddenly had a roulette wheel appear in her hand, which was quietly spinning there.

Gu Nian looked at Shi Yu for a while, then looked away and said.

"The Joker has been sent to the far north ocean, so it's highly unlikely he'll suffer a catastrophe-level fate."

"If there is one, I will also step in and stop the catastrophe-level attack."

"The abilities possessed by the Cataclysmic-class are all extremely terrifying, as can be seen from the fact that there are only three Cataclysmic-class units currently."

"Joker's alteration of the world, Shigure's nullification, and my torrent of fate and prophecy."

"If a cataclysmic event occurs, everyone evacuate, and I will go to stop it."

"Apart from Chun, all of you are at the Earthly Calamity level. If you were to face a Calamity level opponent, you would have no chance of survival."

"Even for Chun, the chances of survival are slim."

"So you need to prioritize your own safety, as we'll need you for the rest of the story."

Everyone nodded, and Gu Nian gently tapped the table, placing Bai Lei horizontally on it.

"Well then, all we can do now is wait."

"Waiting for tragedy to unfold, waiting for the first cry of anguish to be heard."

"We may be the villains, but we're definitely not bastards."

"We share the same responsibility to save the world, even if our paths are different, we are heading in the same direction."

"This time."

"Let's be heroes for once."
