Strange Cards

Chapter 409 Vague Memories

Nanhai City, afternoon.

Shi Yu sat on a rooftop, stretching her legs out, quietly watching the flow of people and vehicles below.

It's like Tsubaki has installed a locator on Shigure; she can find Shigure no matter where he is.

Looking at Shigure sitting on the edge of the rooftop, Tsubaki patted Shigure's left shoulder from behind, then rested her face on Shigure's right shoulder.

"Hi~ Little Gray Fur~"

"Have you missed me?"

Shigure moved away irritably, but Tsubaki, undeterred, sat down next to Shigure.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry anymore~"

"Just kidding~"

"If all else fails, I'll change my appearance to suit your wishes and cheer you up~"

Shi Yu shook her head.

"If you want to see me go berserk."

"Please go ahead."

Tsubaki smiled, transformed into a little girl, and sat down next to Shigure.

It was a miniature version of Chun, with bright eyes, white teeth, and a charming smile; she was a very cute little girl.

The miniature version of Tsubaki's chubby little legs swayed back and forth on the edge of the rooftop, and her shoes, which were much bigger than her current feet, looked like they might fall off at any moment.

Shigure turned her head and looked at the miniature version of Tsubaki, her pupils dilating several times in an instant.

Shiyu's memories, sealed deep within her mind, suddenly trembled a few times, shaking away some of the dust and revealing the past.

Shigure found the miniature version of Tsubaki in front of him to be very familiar, extremely familiar.

It was as if I had seen her somewhere before.

But Shigure searched through all his memories from elementary, middle, and high school, and still couldn't find any trace of Tsubaki.

Shigure remembers many things, and he will definitely remember the names of things that look particularly familiar to him.

But Tsubaki herself had no memory of it, only that she looked very familiar.

Seeing Shigure's reaction and behavior, Tsubaki knew that Shigure must have remembered something. Then, Tsubaki tilted her head and gave a sweet smile.

"Big brother~"

Am I good-looking?

Shigure admitted that the cute and well-behaved Tsubaki in front of him was indeed very attractive, and even he was momentarily distracted.

But Shigure suddenly remembered that Tsubaki was the same age as him, or even a little older.

Thinking of this, Shi Yu turned her head and closed her eyes.

"Change back right now!"

"How old are you! Stop acting like a child!"

How disgusting!

Chun lowered her head in grievance as she listened to Shiyu's words, her two index fingers tapping together, and tears welling up in her beautiful eyes.

That tearful little face was indeed very attractive, but it no longer had such a strong impact on Shigure.

Shigure raised her right hand, and the wheel of time reappeared in her right hand.

Shigure grabbed the time wheel and spun it back, turning Tsubaki back into an adult.

"Stop pretending to be young, really."

"You're in your twenties, but you look like you're only six or seven years old. Don't you feel ashamed?"

"Don't disgust me, I have a mission to complete later."

Chun looked at Shiyu's face and asked seriously.

"Haven't you remembered yet?"

"We've known each other for a long time!"

Shigure looked at Tsubaki and said irritably.

"Yes, yes, an old acquaintance."

"I almost died at your hands the first time we met, so we're definitely old acquaintances."

After hearing what Shigure said, Tsubaki didn't say anything more, but after a while, she spoke.

"You really don't remember?"

Shiyu looked at Chun and lit a cigarette in an annoyed manner.

We met that night four years ago.

"You were wearing a short skirt and My Melody brand underwear."

"You're using a sickle, that's all."

"Do you need me to make myself clearer?"

Chun was stunned for a moment, and her face instantly turned red.

After listening to Shigure recount these events, Tsubaki realized that Shigure truly did not remember what happened between her and Chenxing Welfare Home when they were children.

But Tsubaki wasn't discouraged, because Shigure's reaction to seeing himself shrink proved that Shigure must still vaguely remember something, even if he had forgotten a lot.

Chun believes she can definitely make Shigure remember.

Because if you really think about it, the two of them should be considered childhood sweethearts... right?

Chun buried her face between her legs for a while, and after the blush on her face subsided, she spoke.

"By the way, what was the mission you mentioned earlier?"

Shiyu took out a copy of the Six of Spades from his pocket, and Chun was surprised to find that the pattern of the Six of Spades was exactly the same as Gu Nian's Joker.

Shi Yu looked at the six of spades in his hand and casually extinguished the cigarette that was almost finished smoking.

"The power of the Six of Spades is replication, so I used this power to copy Gu Nian's Joker prophecy."

"A normal person can only use the copied ability once, but as a user of all Spade elements, I can use the copied ability three times."

"I've already tried it once, and the question is whether I'll go home to see my sister's daughter."

"Clearly, this copied ability is the same as the Joker's prophecy."

"And just now, I used my ability a second time."

"Time's almost up, I need to get going."

Shigure patted the dust off his cloak and stood up.

Chun looked at Shiyu and said.

"Do you need me to help out?"

"But you can't go looking for trouble with the Joker. The boss's task for me is to follow you. The rest is up to you."

"Don't go looking for trouble with the Joker, at least not now."

"I have to stop you."

Shi Yu shook her head and opened the black hole.

"No need, I'll go retrieve the remaining Mysterious Cards from the Hunter."

"The remaining cards are in Wang Niu and Yu Yan's hands; I can go alone."

"I know my limits, so you're out of the question."

"I know to hold back a little, but you wouldn't know."

"them..."

"It will be used in later scripts."

Chun looked at Shiyu and waved her hand.

"Alright, after all, it's your turn to find your former companions, defeat them, and retrieve their strange cards."

"You're already very strong. If I go with you, it would be like bullying a weakling."

"Just don't go looking for the Joker."

As Chun spoke, she turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared. However, Shigure did not expect that a wisp of black smoke would attach to the back of his neck.

Shiyu then disappeared into the black hole and soon arrived at her destination.

It was an abandoned factory, and the faint ghostly energy inside indicated that there were several powerful ghosts within.

Shi Yu looked at the high platform in the abandoned factory, and after several jumps, she stood on the platform and looked down at the people below.

Shigure attached the book-carrying belt to his waist. Then he wrapped the belt around his waist and tied it up.

Shigure held the Sinner's Aria in his hand, while the Sin Sword was stuck in the wall to the side.
