Strange Cards

Chapter 467 Blindness

Why is this happening?

Qi Wu stared at the information board, his face full of confusion.

"There was no natural disaster that attacked his eyes, and he had the Jack of Spades on him."

"Even if an eye was blinded by an attack, it should be able to recover in theory."

Guan Yun shook his head, opened a can of beer, and said.

"There's nothing we can do; we know too little about cataclysmic events."

"The few pieces of knowledge about the Cataclysmic level were gathered from Shigure and Pomp."

"This is our common problem, and it's a dead end."

"Our only consolation is that the otherworldly beings are on our side."

"Otherwise, we would have been unable to hold out long ago."

Qi Wu remained silent for a moment before speaking.

"Guan Yun, how's the progress on those two belts?"

Guan Yun put down the beer can and shook his head.

"It's too difficult. Even with the design drawings and analysis, it's still very hard for me to make it."

"Even if I work at full speed, it will take me a week to make two belts."

"Ugh."

"If only Shigure were still here."

"..."

"yes."

"If only he were still here."

……

Chun looked at Shigure, who was holding a spoon but couldn't scoop the rice right no matter what she did, grabbed the spoon, scooped a spoonful, and stuffed it into Shigure's mouth.

"Little Gray Fur".

"Even if there's something wrong with your eyes, it shouldn't mean you can't eat."

Shi Yu sighed and released a small amount of her ghostly power to sense her surroundings.

However, the surrounding objects were no match for Shigure's demonic power, and the bowl containing the food was instantly shattered by Shigure's demonic power.

"If I really had to rely on my senses, I'd have to sleep in a cave."

"Going blind isn't a big problem, it's just a bit more troublesome than being normal."

Shi Yu said, reversing time, and then calmly put the food that was about to fall to the ground and the broken bowl back in place.

"Too much power is ultimately not a good thing."

Chun rolled her eyes, then scooped up another spoonful of drink and fed it to Shigure.

"How about I feed you from now on?"

"Need not."

"I'm still not used to losing my sight, but I'll get used to it later."

Shigure took the bowl from Tsubaki's hand and then poured all the food inside into his mouth.

Logically speaking, I shouldn't need to eat anything.

"But last time I went home for half a month, I don't know why, I felt really uncomfortable if I didn't eat something on time."

At that moment, Yu suddenly realized that something was missing from her mind. Upon reflection, she found that her memory of the same person's face was becoming somewhat blurred.

Shiyu tried hard to recall those somewhat blurry faces, but with a sudden effort, she fell to the ground in pain.

"Hiss..."

"Little Grey, what's wrong?"

Seeing Shigure fall to the ground, Tsubaki quickly helped Shigure straighten up and grabbed her shoulder.

Why...?

Why are my memories of them starting to fade...?

Seeing that Shigure was clearly flustered, Tsubaki shook Shigure's shoulder hard and shouted loudly.

"Don't panic, don't panic."

"Let's calm down first. If you have any problems, just let me know."

"I can solve most of your problems. If I can't, I'll get the boss to help you."

"Don't panic, tell me the problem first, okay?"

Shigure covered his head with his hands because he found that the more he tried to recall those people's faces, the blurrier they became.

If Shigure doesn't remember those people before all her memories disappear, she will only remember the things she experienced with them and their voices, but not their faces.

This was many times worse than death for Shigure.

Chun looked at the motionless Shiyu and used her ghostly power to confirm that Shiyu was still alive before running off to find Gu Nian.

Gu Nian looked at Shi Yu, who was sitting motionless on the ground, shook his head slightly, and then said.

"There's nothing I can do; it's a psychological issue."

"He fought three opponents and managed to kill two of the calamities, but the price he paid was losing his sight."

"Since he can't see anything now, he will naturally start to forget those people's faces."

"Just wait, he'll eventually regain his sight."

"Soon after, but before that."

"Tsubaki, please take care of him."

Chun nodded, and after struggling to carry Shigure to the bed, she said.

"Don't worry about it, boss."

Gu Nian nodded. Before leaving, his phone suddenly rang. He took out his phone, looked at the message that had been sent, and then spoke.

"boundary."

"Tomorrow night, my heart is broken bar."

Qi Wu invites you to have a drink.

At this moment, Shigure, who was on the bed, suddenly moved and spoke after a long while.

"I see."

"I will go."

Gu Nian nodded and looked at Chun Dao beside him.

"Tsubaki, I'll leave it to you to take care of him."

Chun nodded, picked up an apple from the table in Shigure's room, and said as she peeled it.

"Little Gray Fur".

"Could you tell me what the world is like after you go blind?"

Shi Yu remained silent for a long while before slowly speaking.

"You can't see anything; you can only keep company with endless darkness."

"You don't know what time it is outside, nor do you know where you are."

"Your companions' appearances will gradually fade from your memory. Eventually, you will not remember what your companions looked like, but only their voices and stories."

Seeing that Shigure's inner demons were about to flare up again, Tsubaki cut the apple she had peeled into strips and fed a piece to Shigure. Then, she used her own power to help Shigure calm down his inner demons and said...

"Don't rush."

"The boss said your eyesight will recover, let's take it slowly."

"Don't get agitated, I've got you covered."

"I've always been here."

"..."

"Thanks."

Tsubaki picked up an apple stick, stuffed it into Shigure's mouth, and said...

"We're like family, it's only right that we help each other out."

"After all, we've known each other since we were little..."

"Have we been together since we were little?"

"Have we met before?"

At that moment, Chun realized she had let something slip, so she quickly laughed it off and said...

"It's nothing, you misheard."

Chun quietly peeled the apple, and the two people in the room remained silent for a long time before the room fell into complete silence.

All that remained was the soft slicing sound of the fruit knife cutting through the apple peel.

……

Qi Wu looked at Qi Nannan and Liu Yu standing in front of him, reached out and patted their heads.

"Don't worry, you two."

"He'll be going to my bar tomorrow, I'll just go ask him."

"If there really is a problem with his eyes, it's no problem to replace them with a mechanical prosthetic eye. We have faith in the technology of the Hunters."

The two little ones looked at Qi Wu, their pleading eyes speaking volumes.

Qi Wu looked at the New Year's messages on his phone and smiled as he declined their invitations.

"No, that won't work."

"You two have to go to your grandparents' house tomorrow. Sister Guanyun won't have time to take care of you."

"Mom has to go on a business trip to the next city for two days, so you have to stay with your grandparents for two days."

"I have to go on a mission and won't be able to take care of you."
