Strange Cards

Chapter 359 The Joker's Abilities

"this..."

Shi Yu barely opened her eyes, only to find herself lying on a white hospital bed.

Liu Yu, who had been dozing by the bedside, left after Shi Yu woke up. A short while later, Gu Yue and Qi Wu came in.

"Xiaoyu, are you alright?"

Shiyu tried to twist her neck, but found that it felt like there was a steel plate embedded in it, and she couldn't twist it no matter what she did.

Upon seeing this, Liu Yu called Shi Yanlan over, and the two children worked together to help Shi Yu up.

Shi Yu discovered that there was only one hospital bed in the room. When she tried to move, all her muscles were sore and weak that she could barely move.

Even so, Shigure still managed to support herself and said.

"Where's... Bai Yu?"

"Where...is she?"

"I...I think I remember."

"She's been arrested, isn't she?"

As soon as Shiyu uttered those words, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

"really..."

Shiyu was about to turn over and get out of bed, but the soreness and pain in her muscles made her body fall backward again.

Seeing this, Liu Yu quickly hugged Shi Yu together with Shi Yanlan, looking at Shi Yu's face which was twitching in pain.

"Brother Shiyu."

"You should recover first; you've suffered a very serious injury."

"You're covered in injuries right now, not only will you not be able to find Sister Baiyu, but you might even get into serious trouble."

As Liu Yu spoke, she pressed down on Shi Yu. Just as Shi Yu was about to force herself to get up, Shi Yanlan suddenly pressed down on Shi Yu's chest and pinned her down.

"Brother, please focus on recovering, okay?"

"My sister is in trouble, please, I'm begging you!"

"Please don't let anything else happen to you, I...we..."

"You're all I and Xiao Jiu have left!"

As Shi Yanlan spoke, tears welled up in her eyes and soaked Shi Yu's clothes.

Liu Yu's eyes also reddened slightly, and she seemed to be holding back tears.

At this moment, Gu Yue and Qi Wu took both children away and then returned.

"Yes, Xiaoyu, focus on recovering first."

"Your Aunt Gu can also treat injuries. After you've healed slowly, you can go and get revenge on Joker."

"When we rescued you, you were already critically injured and on the verge of death. If it weren't for your own willpower and ability to stay alive, things would have been really troublesome."

After being persuaded by Gu Yue and Qi Wu, Shi Yu finally let out the anger that had been weighing on her chest.

Shiyu lay on the hospital bed receiving an IV drip, but found that her muscles were still sore and she couldn't muster any strength at all.

As dusk approached, Shi Yanlan and Liu Yu entered the ward.

The two first helped Shi Yu sit up and lean her against the headboard. Then one of them held a bowl of porridge while the other slowly fed her.

The large bowl of porridge was quickly finished, and as the two children walked out, they reminded Shiyu to call for help if she needed to use the restroom.

Shi Yu lay on the bed, looking at the snow-white ceiling.

"wrong."

"Logically speaking, my injury should have healed long ago; it's impossible that it hasn't recovered after so long."

At that moment, A's voice rang out softly.

"That's because you were influenced by the Joker's abilities."

"When things are normal, the injury you sustained one second will heal the next."

Shiyu found that her body was getting weaker and weaker, so she mustered her remaining strength to summon the Right Emperor.

"Your Majesty, help me out of bed."

At that moment, a shadow appeared beside Shiyu's bed and lifted Shiyu off the bed.

Shiyu's legs touched the ground, and the moment she stood up, her body went limp. Just as she was about to fall, Youhuang caught her again.

"Damn it!"

"What the hell is the power of this weird card?"

A paused for a moment, then continued.

"Joker's."

"His power is change."

"The ability to change the world."

"He can modify things as he pleases; as long as it's within his tolerance, he's invincible."

"Gu Nian's Joker ability is prophecy, but to me it seems more like an endgame-like ability."

"He can predict how things will turn out and choose the path that is most advantageous to him."

"In other words, it's about choosing a better path to the end."

"Both Joker cards are incredibly powerful, but they also counter each other."

"Normal humans would only die if they faced them, but you've survived several times from the Joker's clutches."

"The Joker is seriously injured. What he should change is that you no longer have the ability to fight."

"As the only human capable of fusing thirteen bizarre cards, you are one of the few threats he can pose."

"Once you, the threat, are gone, he'll only have to deal with Gu Nian."

Shi Yu was silent for a moment, then spoke.

"You should have a solution by now, right?"

"Otherwise, you wouldn't be chatting with me now; you'd be helping me find a solution."

A paused for a moment, then continued.

"Yes, there is."

"After merging the power of the thirteen cards, I naturally returned to my former peak state. My power is very close to that of the Joker, and has even reached the critical point."

"If I use my own power to help you, I can temporarily suppress these things."

"But then I won't have time to help you anymore, and you'll have to fight alone."

"you..."

"Lend me your strength one more time, old friend."

"I need you."

A was taken aback by Shi Yu's words, and then spoke in a clearly serious tone.

"I can't help you then, I'm worried you'll do something stupid!"

"You value relationships the most. If you ultimately can't defeat the Joker, will you use your physical body to merge with the power of the thirteen cards, become a ghost, and fight him to the death?"

"Don't argue with me, I know you too well!"

"No powerful figure throughout history has been as sentimental as you. How can you be so stubborn?"

Shi Yu was stunned; this was the first time A had spoken to her in such a harsh tone.

"Right now, you could easily beckon countless women to you."

"You're so stubborn, once you've set your mind on something, you'll never give it up."

"..."

"A".

Bai Yu married me not long ago, and she is now my wife.

"I can't just stand by and watch her go without trying to save her."

"Damn it, I knew it would be like this."

"You rest first, I'll slowly help you suppress the Joker's power."

"When you're looking for trouble with the Joker, I'll do my best to help you. Don't be a fool and take all the risks alone."

"What I want to curse most is your stubborn brain and your single-minded emotions."

"But what I admire most about you is your unwavering determination and your single-minded affection."

"I've watched that little kitten grow up."

"There's no way I wouldn't step in to save her."
