Strange Cards

Chapter 483 Don't Forget Me

Just as Shiyu was about to set off, a voice rang out from behind her.

"etc!"

Shigure turned to look at Tsubaki again, and this time Tsubaki held Shigure's face, reflecting her image in Shigure's eyes.

After confirming that Shigure had completely memorized her, Tsubaki smiled and nudged Shigure, pushing him to the entrance of the Sea of ​​Oblivion before saying...

"Okay, okay, that's good enough."

"Don't be angry about what I did just now."

"I..."

I'm afraid you'll forget me.

"..."

Don't forget me.

Shigure nodded, then stood quietly at the entrance of the Sea of ​​Oblivion, watching Tsubaki. Tsubaki waved to Shigure, then wrapped her tattered cloak tighter around herself and turned to leave.

Only after Tsubaki completely disappeared from Shigure's sight did Shigure turn around and walk into the Sea of ​​Oblivion.

At this moment, Chun also began her escape.

For the world, for the future.

To fulfill Gu Nian's last wish.

It was also for the sake of timely rain.

……

Within the Sea of ​​Oblivion.

Shigure sat down on the shore of the Sea of ​​Oblivion once again, and couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the Sea of ​​Oblivion, which had now turned into a sunny day.

Five weapons were placed beside Shigure, and these four weapons also witnessed Shigure's journey.

There is the Shura Blade, which initially grew alongside Shigure, evolving into a lightning blade and finally into a Shura Soldier.

In the battle at the South China Sea Ghost Gate, Shiyu risked his life to kill Bai Qi, who had been summoned back from the underworld by Bai Zhong using his own life, and took the Immortal Blade from Bai Qi's hands to open the gate.

The relic with steel claws is also the Savior Sin Sword, which allowed Shigure to regain his transformed form after escaping the Sea of ​​Oblivion to prevent his consciousness from going berserk.

He possessed the help left behind by the Southern Hunters, the Awakening Sword that was also their last act of assistance.

Finally, there is Gu Nian's legacy, which is also the other of the two Mortal Blades, the Mortal Blade Tear, brought from the First Emperor's mausoleum.

The five weapons can be said to have witnessed Shigure's journey since joining the Hunters, and also witnessed Shigure's life.

Shiyu sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at the five weapons placed beside her and gently stroking them.

"The Demon Blade should be left for Xiao Jiu, while the two Death Blades and the Awakening Sword should be used in the final Holy War."

"That sword of sin was forged from the remnants of the steel claws."

At that moment, A's voice rang out, and then a figure stepped out from behind Shigure and drew the Awakening Sword.

Shi Yu stared at the sword for a long while, and then slowly spoke.

"This sword..."

"Place it in front of Gong Long's grave."

"He's been dead for so many years, and I've never even visited him."

"If he hadn't given me the Jack of Spades and the Steel Claw back then, I probably would have died a violent death long ago."

"I also have to thank him..."

"Those two books..."

"Give it back to him as well."

A, who wrote the story, naturally had no objections, but after looking at the remaining weapons, A suddenly spoke up.

"etc."

"Your eldest brother, Qi Wu, seems to have a daughter, right?"

"If I'm not mistaken, this girl will most likely join the Hunters in the future. Shouldn't you leave her a weapon?"

"You're being biased, aren't you?"

Shi Yu smiled, and then, after hearing Qi Nannan's voice in her mind, she said...

"Xiao Qi is most likely going to use the boss's mantis knife, so there's no use in leaving my weapon to her."

"Moreover, after I transferred my power to Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu became the Asura at her peak, with that girl around."

"Are you worried that Xiao Qi will have to do it herself?"

"Besides, I don't have a suitable weapon for her, so even if I wanted to keep her, I couldn't."

A shook his head indifferently, sat down in front of Shigure, and said...

"Whatever."

"But the sooner we start, the better, since this time we need to extract two types of power from Joker's body."

"This isn't the same opportunity we gave you to snatch it directly last time. He'll definitely guard it closely, making it much more difficult for us to separate our forces."

"Take your time, don't rush."

A paused for a moment, then began to guide Shigure's movements and power to slowly strip away the power from Joker's body.

Shigure naturally sensed the tight defenses, but although they were a bit troublesome in Shigure's eyes, she could still slowly break them down.

However, it may take a long time.

And so, day after day, year after year, Shigure stripped away the Joker's power in this secluded space.

Meanwhile, the remaining four sinners outside were frantically fleeing the world with Chun, trying to escape Joker and the battle between Joker and the natural disaster.

As Gu Nian said, the person who panics the most after one side gains the ability to overturn the table is the one sitting on the other side.

After losing the perception of all fifty-one strange cards, the Joker naturally sensed the only card still outside: the Ace of Diamonds.

Joker knew that Gu Nian and Shi Yu would eventually have a showdown, but he wasn't sure if Gu Nian had faked his death.

If Joker feigns death and combines it with Shigure's attack from both sides, trapping him like a turtle in a jar, he will be severely screwed over again.

Gu Nianhei has too many underlings, which has made Joker extremely sensitive. He will come up with a lot of ideas as soon as something is amiss.

What's more, Joker is even more panicked now that he can't find Shigure.

Therefore, the Joker had no choice but to collect the Cataclysm Cores before chasing them down, because there weren't many chips left on the table.

If the chips are too few, the Joker will become a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.

Driven by the most basic desire to survive, Joker could only fall into the trap set by Gu Nian, and be led by the nose step by step by the already dead Gu Nian.

And all of this was a scheme deliberately set up by Gu Nian.

Even at the time of the final holy war, Shi Yu couldn't help but praise Gu Nianzhi for being almost supernatural.

Although he could foresee the future, Gu Nian's wisdom lies in being able to set up the game while he was alive and continue to guide others through the game even after his death.

Gu Nian schemed everything for the final holy war, even calculating Joker's psychological state perfectly.

With this track-like layout, as long as Joker still has the idea of ​​moving forward, he must follow Gu Nian's track. If he deviates from the track even one step, he will lose everything.

But continuing would also result in death, though Joker didn't know that he was also betting that the final result wouldn't be death.

When it comes to manipulating people's hearts, Joker is ultimately a bit less skilled than Gu Nian.

The difference wasn't huge, but it was enough to be fatal.

This is the ending that Gu Nian was willing to give up his life for and strive his whole life to see.
