Strange Cards

Chapter 180 The Best Ending

When the hunters heard that Shigure was still alive, their first thought was that Shigure had become a ghost. But when they heard Shigure's excited crying voice, they realized it wasn't fake, so they all rushed over.

It wasn't until the hunters saw Shi Yu being held by Bai Yu that they finally confirmed the kid was really alive. So they worked together to drive him back to the base.

At first, everyone thought that Shi Yu, who was unconscious, had suffered some irreversible damage. After a series of examinations, nothing was found. Liu An even used the nano scanner in the medical room but still couldn't find anything wrong.

Then, when Shigure's stomach rumbled, everyone knew what had happened.

After all, Shigure had been trapped in the forest for three to five days. During that time, he could only barely keep moving by relying on his demonic power. If he hadn't killed that E-rank demon and obtained the demonic power left behind by Uncle Xiao, Shigure really wouldn't have been able to get out, at least not until he saw Chun.

After Qi Wu learned that Shi Yu had simply fainted from hunger due to lack of food, he waved his hand and took out the century-old wild ginseng he had been hiding, and even the precious red goji berries that the chief hunter had given him.

Gu Yue naturally knew that Shi Yu had returned. Without saying a word, she ran home and took out the best old hen from her father's chicken farm. She then stewed it with the ingredients that Qi Wu and the others brought out, and added some noodles to make a pot of old hen soup.

Qi Nannan and Liu Yu, the two little ones, busied themselves helping Shi Yu sit up. One of them pried open Shi Yu's mouth while the other fed her chicken soup. Then they quickly closed Shi Yu's mouth, tilted her head back, and swallowed the soup.

Liu An held Bai Yu and gently comforted her, while Yu Yan, seeing everyone busy inside, felt like she was superfluous. So she grabbed her bow and stormed out to find a ghost to kill.

Because Yu Yan felt she had to do something, and everyone was busy with Shi Yu's affairs, even Li Shun and Da Niu were helping Shi Yu change clothes, she decided to drive her beloved little electric car to see if there were any ghosts she had missed in Nanhai City.

However, within two months after the opening of the Ghost Gate, there will generally be no ghosts causing trouble, let alone in Nanhai City.

The ghosts within a ten-mile radius of Nanhai City who were killed by Shi Yu have long since moved away. Now, Shi Yu's reputation as a ghost's nightmare has spread throughout the ghost realm. Without some strength, no one dares to come to Nanhai City, this nightmare-level dungeon.

After Qi Nannan and Liu Yu fed Shi Yu a small bowl of chicken soup, Shi Yu finally woke up. As soon as Shi Yu opened her eyes in a daze, she saw a white figure rush into her arms without seeing anything.

"Owner!"

Bai Yu held Shi Yu tightly, and Shi Yu, who had just returned from the brink of death, was pushed back to the brink of death by Bai Yu's embrace.

"Little... girl..."

"Let go..."

"If you hug me again, I'm going to cry..."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu quickly released her grip on Shi Yu. Shi Yu, seeing the two little ones insisting on feeding her noodles, shook her head helplessly and could only accept their kindness.

After everything was done, Shiyu finally came back to life. The great battle ended with the best possible result. The only flaw was that Shiyu's black hair was gone forever. No matter how Qi Nannan and Liu Yu tried to dye Shiyu's hair, they could only manage to get a deep gray color, without any black at all.

Shi Yu simply gave up, and at this time, the Hunters also had their own time to rest. So, after discussing it, the brothers asked Yan Yun to keep an eye on things at the base, locked the gate of the Hunters base, and brought Guan Yun, who had been staying in the laboratory for thousands of years, back to Jiang Tian Hao Yuan. After that, the group began to live a leisurely life on the island.

The group spends their days eating, feeding the cats, and at worst, fishing on the island's edge. However, most of the fish they catch are taken by the island's cats.

Shigure has been deliberately avoiding everyone lately because Ace of Spades only sealed most of the Asura power into the Demon Blade, and ultimately a portion remained in Shigure's body.

Under Qi Wu's persistent questioning, Shi Yu finally revealed the truth. After all, while the hunters could withstand the Asura aura that Shi Yu occasionally leaked, the two little ones might not be able to, and Shi Yu didn't want to harm them.

"That's it? You think you're the boss, just sitting around doing nothing?"

After Qi Wu finished speaking, he ran home, took out a tattoo design, and handed it to Shi Yu.

"Here, this is something the Chief Hunter gave you specifically to counter the Asura's power."

"After Liu An told me that you became a Shura, I immediately contacted the Chief Hunter. Then the Chief Hunter used his card ability to draw this tattoo design and sent it over by plane."

"I discussed it with the chief hunter. According to my father, only magic can defeat magic. So after discussing it for a long time, we came up with this pattern."

"The Nine Demons of Hell: These are the nine people in history who were most likely to become Asuras, and also the nine strongest among those who were likely to become Asuras."

"The Chief Hunter used his own power to draw their likenesses and also used his own power to steal a trace of their essence. Although he can't say that he can completely suppress the power of the Asuras, he can at least suppress and seal them."

"When you don't need to use it, just use this tattoo to seal it. When you need to use it, just unseal it. And with this tattoo, you don't have to worry about falling into a state of Asura and never waking up."

Shi Yu stared at the tattoo design for a long time, then thought for a moment and said...

"Where should I put this design? It's too small on my arm and too big on my back."

As Qi Wu spoke, he directly imprinted the design onto Shi Yu's left arm. In no time, the entire tattoo was completely imprinted on Shi Yu's left forearm.

"Don't worry, the base material of this thing is a special ghost pigeon and the blood of a nightmare-level ghost king. You can choose to hide it with ghost power or not. If you hide it, there might be a slight delay before using power."

"This thing is hidden and only appears when you use your power, which is very convenient."

Shi Yu looked at the nine hideous demons on his left forearm, reconstructed an arm guard and put it on his left forearm, hiding the tattoos underneath.

"Normally, we should just hide it with this thing. We won't hide it unless absolutely necessary."

Qi Wu looked at Shi Yu, thought for a long time, and then said.

"I have a question, kid."

"uh-huh?"

"If Guan Yun had been able to decipher the missile back then, would you still have taken it into space?"

"Or rather, what was your mindset when you launched that missile into space?"

After thinking for a moment, Shi Yu smiled and said.

"I didn't think too much about it."

"Nanhai City was the beginning of my nightmare, but it is also where my memories are held."

"You are in Nanhai City, my friends are in Nanhai City, and my teachers are in Nanhai City. So no matter what, I am not willing to take even the slightest risk of that missile exploding in Nanhai City."

"I can't afford to gamble, so I can only choose the least risky way to take that missile into space, even if the outcome is my death alone."

"But now..."

"I am alive, and everyone else is alive too."

"This is the best ending."
