Strange Cards

Chapter 208 3 Last Seat

"Me?"

Yu Yan pointed to herself, her face full of disbelief.

"Yes, you."

"Don't worry, we'll win."

"You'll die if you beat your mother."

"Don't you know your own worth?"

Yu Yan recalled the scene of being pinned down and beaten by Liu Yu during their sparring session that day, and cold sweat broke out in her brow.

It's not that Yu Yan is really bad; at least after learning my style, Yu Yan's combat power has increased several levels.

But unfortunately, the opponent was Liu Yu, who possessed the innate martial arts saintly body. In fact, Liu Yu had learned the same martial arts style as Shi Yu, which combined martial arts, my own style, and the art of killing ghosts. The only difference was that Liu Yu did not inherit the power of the Asura.

"I'll leave if you lend me your Bai Yu as a bodyguard."

"Besides, I'm afraid something might happen if Bai Yu brings the Royal Flush."

"I'll take Bai Yu with me when we go out, okay?"

"It's just a little weasel, what are you so afraid of?"

……

Inside the base of the otherworldly beings.

All the otherworldly beings surrounded Gu Nian, protecting him.

At this moment, Gu Nian's right side of his face suddenly turned into a bizarre shape, and he was screaming incessantly.

"Release me! You lowly humans!"

"When I get out, I'm going to skin you alive, tear you apart, and eat you alive, I promise!!!"

Gu Nian maintained his composure on the left side of his human face, even as the right side of his face began to encroach on the left.

"Don't even think about it, Joker, it's impossible."

"My elder brother Gu Ri sealed you away back then, waiting for me to take over, because he knew you were the most important part of our plan. Releasing you would ruin the plan, and I'm not crazy."

"That plan? Do you think it has a chance of succeeding?"

"There are only two Jokers, and that Joker is my own body. Even if I merge with him, I'll still be missing one Joker's spot."

"We once fought against the Spade card. That type is indeed very strong. It was even able to severely injure the two of us Jokers while being scattered and seriously injured itself. Even the Ace of Spades has its own self-awareness."

"But back then, the King of Spades, formed by fusing thirteen Spade cards, was at most only half the power of us. The reason he could hurt us was purely because of his abnormally powerful abilities."

"How could that human kid possibly become the Joker?"

"Let me be blunt with you, the highest number of cards a human can combine is thirteen, and it will never be possible to combine fourteen."

"Because only thirteen cards of the same suit can be combined, and thirteen cards of the same suit can already form a set, it is impossible to combine thirteen cards of the same suit."

"Once a set is formed, fusing another card will cause the demonic power within it to change. At that point, he won't even have the qualifications to become a demon; he will be directly devoured by the card."

"And each of us Jokers has the ability to play twenty-six strange cards, which are two different colors."

"You still think that human kid can withstand such terrifying power? If it weren't for the fact that you've fused with me and have the Joker's power there, you wouldn't be able to withstand it either."

Gu Nian chuckled softly twice, then said.

"I know."

"So I set up a plan in advance, letting that kid collect all the power of the spades first."

"My older brother once owned the Ace of Spades, and so did I, so I know exactly what to do next."

"You bunch of guys have ruined this world for so many years, it's time for you to disappear."

Joker realized something was wrong from Gu Nian's tone and hurriedly said...

"Human! What are you doing?!"

Taking advantage of this gap, Gu Nian drew the Mortal Blade and used its power to gradually force Joker's power back.

"Then of course we'll destroy you and that Joker along with those fifty-two strange cards."

"Are you crazy? Don't forget that your immortality is only possible because of me. If I'm gone, you'll die too."

Gu Nian waved his hand dismissively.

"I still clearly remember that when my older brother died, he entrusted you to me."

He said it to me, his voice choked with emotion.

"He said he was sorry to my second sister, my parents, and my brother-in-law."

"He said at the time that he would never have dragged me into this project if I wasn't involved in it."

"He was a terrible son and brother-in-law, but he was a good older brother and a good guardian of the world."

"So I betrayed the Hunters, just to carry on my brother's beliefs and keep this world alive."

"I don't care about anything, I just want this world to survive."

"As for dying...everyone dies eventually."

"But if my death can help this world, which has already reached its end, to continue to live, then I think my death would be worthwhile."

"A catastrophic meteor fell from the Cretaceous period, and no one could escape the annihilation..."

After saying this, Gu Nian actually took the Mortal Blade and slashed at himself, sacrificing his left arm to seal Joker's consciousness once again.

"Only birds that learn to fly can escape their predetermined doom."

"A new world..."

"Hurry up and come..."

……

In the afternoon, Fengchuan and four headhunters took Shiyu to attend a meeting. It was also in the afternoon that Shiyu finally learned that Qian Miao, who had been cut into a muggle by A that morning, was actually a Western hunter.

Three of the six men were dressed in Zhongshan suits, while the two female headhunters from the East and West were dressed in long cheongsams.

As for Shigure, she was still wearing a loose short-sleeved shirt and black shorts, with flip-flops on her feet.

Shigure really dislikes wearing formal attire; it's too much trouble, and it's also inconvenient to carry small items with her.

Soon, a Hongqi sedan with a red flag was driven away and parked in front of a tall building.

The driver quickly got out of the car and gestured for the six people to proceed.

"Please come upstairs, everyone. The six ministers and the chairman are waiting for you upstairs."

The driver was somewhat surprised to see Shigure, who was clearly a generation younger than the headhunters and chief headhunter, but out of professional courtesy, he didn't say anything.

The six people quickly entered the building. Then, Feng Chuan walked to a specially made elevator, took out a gold and red card, swiped it, and the elevator doors opened.

The six of them went inside, and then Qi Wu looked at Shi Yu's casual clothes and patted Shi Yu on the shoulder.

"When we get back, I'll have Liu An and your sister-in-law take you to buy a formal suit."

"You're one of the thirteen seats now, even if you're only the last seat, you should act like one of the last seats."

"Hey boss, you know I don't like wearing formal attire."

"Then wear a Zhongshan suit like us. I know what you wanted to do when you wore these baggy clothes as a child."

"Throw all your personal gadgets back into the black hole. If that thing goes off, at least three to five seats will be lost from the Thirteen Seats."
