Strange Cards

Chapter 292 I'm sorry to them

The water ghost's fighting power was greatly reduced because it lost its watery terrain. Just as it was about to throw its steel fork, it discovered that a long whip made of snake bone with barbs was already wrapped around the hand holding the steel fork.

Liu An grabbed the long whip and tightened it with force. He handed the whip to Guan Yun and Bai Yu, who were holding it, and then stepped lightly, holding three small willow-leaf knives in his hand.

Liu An flung out three willow-leaf daggers, but instead of firing them in a scattered manner, he threw them one after another.

All three willow-leaf daggers were aimed at the water ghost's right eye. At that moment, Qi Wu threw one of the mantis daggers to Liu An, and the four of them unleashed a powerful attack on the water ghost.

After losing two useful rules, the Water Demon's combat power was even weaker than that of a Purgatory-level demon. At this moment, the four of them each finished off the Water Demon, bringing him into the killing range. Shigure stood at a distance and began to gather his strength.

As Kaimen and Shadao frantically gathered their power, Shiyu suddenly pushed his belt, preparing to unleash a fatal blow, when a figure silently appeared from behind the water ghost.

Shi Yu rushed forward and thrust his twin swords at the water ghost's heart, but at that moment a red light flashed, and Gu Nian deftly used the force of the attack to knock away both of Shi Yu's swords.

Seeing Gu Nian's terrifying aura, the water ghost thought that help had arrived. But the next moment, Gu Nian stabbed Bai Lei into the water ghost's heart, finishing him off.

Shi Yu felt a chill run down her spine as she sensed the terrifying aura emanating from Gu Nian. After becoming a Shura and possessing the Nine Shadows, Shi Yu had been invincible for so long, and this was the first time she had felt the pressure of death emanating from Gu Nian.

Gu Nian seemed to have no intention of attacking the crowd. He simply slid the sword into the sheath behind him with one hand and said softly.

"Tsubaki."

"Take this water ghost with you."

Suddenly, a cloud of black smoke appeared around them, enveloped the water ghost's corpse, and then disappeared.

Qi Wu looked at Gu Nian, holding the Mantis Twin Blades in his hand and blocking Shi Yu's path.

"Little New Year..."

"Long time no see, brother-in-law."

"My sister..."

"never mind."

Gu Nian shook his head, staring straight at Shi Yu.

"My old friend of mine seems to be doing quite well with you."

Goodbye, everyone.

Gu Nian turned to leave as he spoke, but Qi Wu suddenly spoke up.

"etc."

"Aren't you going to visit your parents now that you're back?"

Gu Nian suddenly stopped in his tracks, and then said quietly.

"To be honest, I shouldn't have met with you."

"If the final battlefield wasn't in the fishpond that had turned into a deep pit, it would have been Tsubaki who made the move, instead of me showing up myself."

"What good would it do if I went back to see my parents?"

"The Gu family has long since lost me as their son."

"I'm just a traitor."

"But your parents are still waiting for you to come back!"

Qi Wu suddenly shouted.

"Even though you are our enemy, the two elders have never regarded you as the leader of the otherworldly beings."

"The old folks have always treated you like a son. Every holiday, there will be a set of your chopsticks and bowl on the table."

"They're just waiting for you to come back."

"They never begged you to come back."

"They just want you to come home and see them."

Even if only once.

"I'm so sorry to them, brother-in-law."

Gu Nian turned around, her clear eyes glistening with something crystalline.

But I can't turn back.

"There is nowhere to go back from here."

As Gu Nian spoke, his body gradually turned into nothingness and disappeared before everyone's eyes.

Qi Wu wanted to say something, but seeing that Gu Nian had already disappeared, he held back.

Then Qi Wu took out a cigar, lit it, took a deep drag, and exhaled all the smoke from his mouth.

"Let's go, everyone."

"That's settled."

Shigure then canceled the Sin Deduction, which then turned into five cards again.

Shi Yu looked at her tattered pants and her shirtless upper body, opened the black hole, took out the cloak, and put it on.

Looking at Shi Yu's distressed expression, Liu An patted Shi Yu's head and said.

"Don't feel bad about your gray sweater."

"When I get back, I'll make you a gray knitted sweater. I guarantee it will look great."

"good!"

Everyone left the mountain one after another, unaware that Gu Nian had not gone far, but appeared on the mountain opposite a small courtyard.

Gu Nian looked at Gu Yue and her parents washing and preparing vegetables, and then glanced at Qi Nannan, who was playing happily with the other two children. Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer.

"Boss, are you crying?"

Chun's voice rang out, and Gu Nian gently wiped the corner of his eye and said.

"no."

"It's just sand and dust getting in my eyes."

Just then, as the three of them were washing and preparing vegetables, and Qi Nannan was playing, they all seemed to sense something and turned their heads to look in Gu Nian's direction.

The four looked at Gu Nian, who had lost an arm, while Gu Nian quietly looked at them.

His eyes conveyed Gu Nian's feelings without the need for words.

However, Gu Nian was quite good at hiding himself. After glancing at the four people, he looked away and left with Chun.

"Old woman."

"Hmm...you go ahead."

"The person whose left sleeve is empty..."

"Judging from his physique, he looks like he's from Xiaonian."

"It must be him..."

At this moment, Gu Yue, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, her eyes already red.

"Mom, who is that uncle?"

Qi Nannan came closer and looked at Gu Yue, whose eyes were slightly red.

"This feels so familiar."

Gu Yue stroked Qi Nannan's smooth, long black hair, trying her best to suppress her sobs.

"He is very important to you."

"He's your uncle..."

From that day onward, the four of them remained unaware that Gu Nian's gaze was actually a farewell to them.

It wasn't until the day Gu Nian died that the group realized what had happened.

Ps:

This time, we're taking up a portion of the main storyline to give you all a heads-up.

This should be the last time this book is updated twice on a weekday, because the book is being severely restricted in terms of readership. It only earns four, five, or six yuan a day, which used to be enough for my welfare allowance and foot massage, but now it's not even enough for my monthly cigarettes.

But don't worry, everyone. The main storyline has been polished up for you. After the incident with Liu Yu, you can prepare to get ready for some heartbreaking moments later on.

If the author has time on weekends, they will try to update the book twice a week.

For details on how to use knives, please refer to the previous book, but it's sweeter than the previous book.

This book will be updated only once starting in November, so you can save up the chapters before reading it, because the author's next book, "I Have a Ghost-Catching Antique Shop," will be released soon.

This book is pure madness, because the author's mental state has been tormented recently, and he's become somewhat insane.

The entire book consists of just one big knife and a few smaller knives, so it won't be as much of a target of criticism as the first book.

The main plot of this book has been conceived and planned since October, and it was almost complete by the end of the month.

I'll probably recommend it sometime between mid-November and the end of the month. If you're interested, please check it out.

The author will release another story at the end of November, with the keyword being "love in a dream." Whether it's tragic or not depends on the readers' opinions.

The author personally prefers a happy ending, but a bad ending is also possible.
