Strange Cards

Chapter 362 The Ideal World

There's no way.

"Will you make him feel better?"

Gu Nian looked at Chun, lit a cigarette, and exhaled a smoke ring.

"I'm sorry, child."

"This is the first time I've spoken to you in such an absolutely negative tone."

"There's no way to make him feel any better."

"Maybe you can make him feel better after he joins us."

"Before that."

"The mental breakdown and physical torment will accompany him forever."

"Pain is ever-present."

……

Shi Yu was busy until midnight, and only when the time was approaching one o'clock did she close all the information windows and spend the night in the study.

The next morning, Shiyu groggily got up and found a breakfast on her desk.

Breakfast was simple: a sandwich, a fried egg, and a glass of milk.

There was a note with neat handwriting under the breakfast. Shi Yu pulled the note out and immediately knew who had written it.

"Eat your breakfast obediently..."

"Make me behave."

"That girl, Miaomiao, is starting to boss me around."

Shiyu carefully put the note under a book, and after washing up, she ate breakfast in the study.

Shi Yu walked out the door, and at that moment, You Huang emerged from the shadows and stood in front of Shi Yu, saying...

"My lord."

"We've found the Joker's trail."

Shiyu nodded, put on the cloak, and pulled up the hood to hide herself completely inside.

Shi Yu looked at the seven of spades and the open door in her hand, and had already made up her mind.

"Even if I can't seal you, I can still throw you into that sealed space."

"Today I'll make you pay with your life!"

At this moment, Gu Nian, who was in another world, seemed to sense something. After quickly finishing what he was holding, he picked up Bai Lei and said.

"I have to go now, something terrible is about to happen."

"Tsubaki, don't follow me."

As Gu Nian spoke, he leaped away, his speed so fast that only a blur remained.

……

Nanhai City, Tiansheng Square.

The huge square should have been full of people, but today it was deserted, with only three people standing there.

One is the Joker wearing a clown mask, and the other two are Shigure wearing a cloak and Gu Nian holding a knife.

"I should have destroyed you humans sooner."

"What a bunch of pests that breed corruption."

Shigure took out the Extreme Evil Belt from behind his back, put it on his waist, and then took out the Extreme Evil General's buckle.

"I don't know where you got that grumpy face, but you're quite good at barking like a dog."

"I've figured it out too."

"The world will not be at peace unless you are killed."

"I'll send you on your way today."

When Gu Nian held the silver-gray Joker card, he softly recited the word "fight," and the Joker card transformed into a stream of light that entered the back of Gu Nian's hand.

A surge of power erupted from Gu Nian's body, and then Gu Nian used his only remaining right arm to pull out Bai Lei from behind.

A crimson aura flowed down the blade like water. After performing a flourish, Gu Nian gripped the blade firmly in his hand.

After Shigure unbuckled the belt and fastened it to his waist, he pressed his left thumb onto his index finger and then snapped his index finger with a little force.

"Transformation."

A plume of black smoke erupted from behind Shigure, and the two skeletal hands emerged from the smoke once more, each holding a section of the Evil General's armor.

The large hand squeezed the armor onto Shigure's body, and then the general who was born on a rainy night descended once more.

Shi Yu raised her hand and squeezed, and soon countless wisps of smoke gathered in front of her. Then, she opened the door and grasped the smoke in her hand.

"Let's use this power to achieve it."

"My ideal world."

As Shigure spoke, she drew her sword, and the intertwined black and white aura flowed down the open blade like a waterfall.

Joker looked at the two people opposite him wielding the Mortal Blade and spoke to Gu Nian.

"Gu Nian".

"You have the Joker, and I am the Joker."

"It doesn't matter how much we fight, even if we beat the dog out of its head, we'll still be one."

"Let's take care of this kid together, and then we can fight him however we want."

"how?"

"Not good."

Gu Nian looked at Joker, feeling his hair being blown by the wind.

"Isn't the reason you teamed up with me to deal with Shigure simply because you're afraid of the Mortal Blade in our hands?"

"You are an undead creature, and I have also become an undead human, thus belonging to the same category of undead creatures."

"Shigure achieved immortality through the Ace of Spades, thus also becoming an undead creature."

"But we two are still human, not a monster like you."

"I am ashamed to be associated with you."

As he spoke, Gu Nian looked at Shi Yu and smiled.

"Let's take care of this guy together today."

"Then let's find a chance to settle the score between the otherworlders and the hunters, how about that?"

"If we can defeat the Joker in this battle, I will disband the Otherworlders, take away all their power, and ensure that they have no more power to do evil. Then I will surrender to you Hunters."

Shi Yu glanced at Gu Nian and snorted coldly.

"Remember what you said."

Gu Nian looked at Joker, still feeling uncertain.

After all, in the final script, the Joker survived to the very end, while even he himself didn't live to see that point.

He didn't think he and Shigure could finish this guy off on the spot; at best, they'd both be badly injured.

Even so, Gu Nian still had to fight, just to gamble on that sliver of possibility.

Even if there's only a one percent chance of defeating Joker, Gu Nian will still try without hesitation.

"You two..."

"Do you really think I'm made of dough?"

Joker roared, raising his hand which instantly transformed into sharp claws, unleashing five bright red claw strikes.

The five claws seemed to have eyes, heading straight for the two of them. The floor, torn apart by the claws, proved how terrifying the attack was.

Shi Yu sneered, took a step forward, grabbed the gears of time, and suddenly stopped time with a snap.

Shigure acted within the paused time, knowing that Joker possessed half of the Spade type's power, and that Joker could definitely act within the paused time.

However, since all the power of his Extreme Evil General card had been enhanced, Shigure believed that he could act for much longer than Joker.

But what Yu didn't expect was that Gu Nian would also take action in the world where time had stopped.

"Your boss is my brother-in-law. I used to go on many missions with him in worlds that had been frozen in time."

"I also have a time-related artifact on me, which will allow me to move around in a world where time has been suspended."

"Don't just stand there, get started!"
