Strange Cards

Chapter 473 Wild Mantis

Both of them were gathering their ultimate moves, and just as Cang Li was about to make her move, she heard Gu Nian's voice in her ear.

"Don't disturb them."

"Just observe quietly and take notes."

Gu Nian's voice trembled slightly, as if he was forcibly suppressing something.

Cang Li nodded and lowered her hand, which was about to strike.

Meanwhile, Chun, who had successfully restrained the Mist Calamity in cooperation with Guan Yun, looked around at the increasingly dense mist.

"Hunter, give me the power within the mech."

"If I absorb the power inside the mecha, I might be able to take it down. After all, I only have the strength of a half-step Calamity right now."

"I am still human, and I cannot create rules like a ghost."

"Only quantitative change can lead to qualitative change."

Guan Yun looked at Chun standing in front of the mecha, feeling utterly exhausted.

The long hours of intense work, coupled with the fact that one person bore the majority of the mental burden of the Hunter God Mech, would have caused a normal person to break down mentally long ago if Guan Yun hadn't been physically strong and Yan Yun hadn't also shouldered some of the burden.

Guan Yun thought for a moment, then placed the mecha's fingers on Chun's back and transferred the mecha's energy to her.

Feeling the continuous energy flowing from behind, Chun's black hair had turned red and white.

The scythe in Chun's hand became even more ferocious, as if it were a demonic scythe made of flesh and metal.

With her free hand, Chun took out the slender longsword, allowing the two weapons to share some of the demonic power before she could withstand the power within her body.

Guan Yun used the analysis module to cut off the energy transmission just within the limits that Chun could withstand.

After reserving a small amount of energy for the mech, Guan Yun flew out in the Remnant Fire mech, holding a sniper rifle, and stood next to Chun.

"Let's go together."

"If we don't take action, we'll all die."

Chun turned her head and glanced at Guan Yun; that terrifying power actually began to slightly tear open the void.

Chun's eyes had turned completely red, and then that terrifying power created a sonic boom as she flew straight toward the Misty Calamity.

At that moment, Guan Yun raised his sniper rifle, charged it with the power within the mech, and pulled the trigger.

……

Jiangtian Haoyuan.

Gu Yue looked at her daughter who had been waiting beside her, took out a small bowl, served Qi Nannan some food, and then patted Qi Nannan's head.

"Eat first if you're hungry."

Qi Nannan nodded and sat down next to Gu Yue, eating her meal in small bites.

Qi Nannan picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and brought it to Gu Yue's lips.

"Mom, aren't you going to eat?"

Gu Yue shook her head and used her hand to push the ribs back into Qi Nannan's mouth with the chopsticks.

"You eat first, Mom isn't hungry yet."

"Mom is waiting for Dad to come back."

Qi Nannan nodded obediently and then began to chew gently.

In fact, how could Qi Nannan not know what Gu Yue was hiding from her? Qi Nannan and Liu Yu were able to deduce that Shi Yu was still alive based on some clues. How could she, who had been clever since childhood, not see what her mother was hiding?

However, Qi Nannan was well aware of Gu Yue's condition and simply did not ask.

Qi Nannan swallowed the last mouthful of rice in her mouth, returned the bowl to the kitchen, and then said...

"Mom, how long do we have to wait for Dad to come back?"

Gu Yue gently shook her head, letting the wind outside blow her long hair.

"I don't know either."

"But I will keep waiting, even if it's until next year."

"I will wait for your father to come back too."

Then Gu Yue murmured in a voice that only she could hear.

"I'm going to see people no matter what."

"I want to see his body."

……

After a final, devastating attack, Shigure and Qiwu were both blasted out of their transformations.

Shigure's Sin Sword was blasted away, and two books fell out with it.

In the end, Shi Yu had no choice but to use the Demon Blade to stabilize his body, looking at Qi Wudao, who was also lying in a pool of blood in the distance.

"It's finally over."

As Shi Yu spoke, she walked step by step toward Qi Wu, while Qi Wu, lying in a pool of blood, looked at the sky for a while before speaking.

"No."

"I haven't lost yet."

Qi Wu struggled to get up as he spoke, holding his Red Heart Shadow Mantis in his hand.

"don't want!"

Shi Yu looked at Qi Wu, and Qi Wu, without hesitation, swiped the King of Hearts through the gap in the middle of his belt.

At that moment, the thirteen strange cards in Qi Wu's card box appeared together and floated in front of Qi Wu.

Just before all the cards rushed into Qi Wu's body, a cold, mechanical voice rang out.

"Wild!"

Shi Yu looked at Qi Wu, who had changed drastically, and suddenly broke down and shouted.

Why?

Why did you choose to end your life?

"Why did you have to die here?!"

Qi Wu, seemingly calm under his armor, spread his hands nonchalantly.

"In the script of fate, I would make this decision."

"And what about you?"

"They are willing to abandon their own names and bear the name of traitors."

"Then what is it for?"

Shi Yu looked at Qi Wu and said coldly.

"Because I can't just stand by and watch you die."

"I can't do it!"

"I cannot allow the thoughts of those who have died to be buried in the soil with them in the near future, losing their lives, losing themselves, losing everything."

"It was too late for everything then; nothing we did was in vain."

"My sister entrusted Xiao Jiu to me before she died, and I can't let her see Xiao Jiu in the afterlife so soon."

"Even if I'm labeled a rebel, even if I'm branded a traitor, I don't care."

"I can't bear to let everyone die in the near future when I can save them, just like when my sister died."

"Just like Bai Yu and the others before they died."

"I am not Shigure. This empty shell of a body is not worthy of this name."

"Until it's all over, all I can call it is 'boundary'."

"The boundary to save the world."

"I am no longer human. I have died again and again. Death is just a dream to me from which I can never wake up."

"But you are still alive, you are still human."

"You have a bright future, and your wife and daughter are all here."

"Why did you abandon them to die?!"

"Are you really that selfish? Don't you consider your sister-in-law and Nannan at all?!"

Qi Wu chuckled lightly, and just as he was about to light a cigar as usual, he found that the armor's visor was blocking him, so he gave up.

"I don't want to die a meaningless death."

"I'm going to die anyway before the disaster is over, so I might as well die anonymously."

"I would rather add a piece of firewood to the fire of salvation."
