Strange Cards

Chapter 138 Reporting to Headquarters

As he spoke, Joker's gaze fell on Shigure, and a smile appeared on his face beneath the mask.

"It seems that quite a few old friends are attached to this friend."

"Looks like Claw is here too."

At this moment, Qi Wu's back was completely soaked with cold sweat, and he was tightly gripping the 10 of spades in his right hand.

If Joker decides to make a move, Qi Wu will not hesitate to use the Time Flow ability to create an opportunity to escape, but Qi Wu is not sure if the Time Flow will work on this guy.

But Qi Wu still wanted to gamble; at least the two of them needed a chance to send a message back.

But Joker clearly had no intention of making a move. After taking away that wisp of Bai Qi's remnant soul, he disappeared into the darkness and left.

"Oh right, I think those two friends are also there."

Joker thought for a moment and walked behind Da Niu and Li Shun, holding a huge black cloth in his hand.

Joker covered the two of them with a black cloth, and then he actually used the same magic trick as Shigure's Queen of Spades: making people appear alive again.

"Sigh, it's been too long since I've used these miscellaneous abilities."

"Neither of them feels very smooth anymore..."

.........

Even after leaving, Shigure Joker was still worried. He used his remaining flame to scan the surrounding area for a hundred miles and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Joker had indeed left.

Shigure deactivated his transformation and plopped down on the ground.

Qi Wu also plopped down on the ground; both of them were so intimidated by the Joker's aura that they were somewhat exhausted.

The man in black robes was also quite ambitious. After grabbing a steel rod, he hid in the darkness and prepared to attack the two men.

Just as the man in black robes was about to make his move, he suddenly felt his body straighten up and then he fainted.

Shi Yu spat out a mouthful of saliva.

"With your pathetic skills, you think you can ambush your grandpa? Pah!"

"Let's go, boss, we have to get this message back."

"Um!"

As they talked, the two arrived at their motorcycle. Shiyu put the belt back into the alloy box and then placed it inside the rabbit. Qiwu knocked out the man in black robes and tied him to the back of the motorcycle. The two then left the area.

Meanwhile, Li Shun and Da Niu, who had been transformed into living people, appeared on the lawn in the center of Nanhai City, surrounded by a group of people.

Fortunately, Li Shun woke up relatively early and the bat carried Da Niu back to the base.

In order to save time, Shi Yu took Qi Wu on a motorcycle in the air and returned to the base in a short while.

After returning to the base, the two quickly went to their rooms, took a shower to calm themselves down, and then went to the conference room without prior arrangement.

The man in black robes had already been taken to the interrogation room by Yu Yan, the Minister of Justice, but the torture had not yet begun.

The hunters discussed things in the meeting room for a while, and soon their focus shifted to the man who possessed the strange card "Joker" and called himself "Joker".

"So, boss, what's your thought?"

Liu An sat in his seat and took a sip of tea.

"Report this to headquarters and warn the other three bases to be careful."

Qi Wu took a sip of water and said

"The person known as the Joker stole something from the black-robed Wang Meng that was said to be the remnant soul of Bai Qi."

Qi Wu pointed to a picture on the big screen as he spoke.

"We've also checked Wang Meng; he doesn't have any strange or mysterious tokens on him."

"Aside from us, normal humans can at most contract one strange entity, which is the absolute limit. But Wang Meng can fuse four or even five, which proves that the remnant soul of Bai Qi is definitely something very important."

"We don't know the function of Bai Qi's remnant soul, but one thing is certain: it can enable humans to contract more strange entities and control strange entities. This is a conclusion we reached after our fight."

As he spoke, Qi Wu turned to look at Yu Yan, who was sitting to the side drinking AD calcium milk.

"Is that guy still not going to say where that remnant soul came from?"

Yu Yan shook her head, and her twin ponytails swayed back and forth.

"That guy's mouth is really hard. If I hadn't eaten something to pry it open, he probably would have bitten his tongue and committed suicide."

"But this guy said he'd go on a hunger strike to protest starving himself to death and would rather die than reveal any information to us."

Are you confident?

Qi Wu was at a loss when faced with this stubborn guy who wouldn't listen to reason, while Yu Yan just smiled and said...

"Boss, do you think I'm joking about my title as Minister of Justice? I can pry his mouth open tomorrow."

"To be honest, the worst thing is soul searching. Almost everyone can use that ability, but the only difference is that the person whose soul is searched will die."

"It's not like I'd go all out if your son said he wanted to sentence this guy to decades in prison. There's nothing in this world that I, Yu Yan, can't find out."

Qi Wu nodded.

"Okay, it's up to you now."

While Shigure was engrossed in eating roast chicken, she suddenly felt a tap on her shoulder. Turning around, she saw two boxes of hamburgers being handed to her.

"Eat slowly, don't choke."

"Does that system consume protein that much?"

"I also used my card to play a big game later, so it must have consumed a lot of resources."

As Shi Yu spoke, she swallowed the two hamburgers one after another. Guan Yun closed his eyes, patted his forehead, and then waved for the robot to bring Shi Yu a glass of water.

Qi Wu's hands were also busy; he was talking while holding a large pork knuckle and a few pieces of flatbread, and he was eating them with great enthusiasm.

Meanwhile, Qi Nannan, Bai Yu, Liu Yu, and Gu Yue were playing in a private children's playground, and the three girls almost went crazy there.

After discussing it in the meeting room for a while, Qi Wu finally made a decision. After the meeting ended, everyone went home to their own families.

Shigure returned to his room and continued modifying the Remnant Fire Mech.

The clock slowly struck 11:30. Just then, Shiyu's door creaked open, and a white figure stealthily crept in.

"Go take a shower as soon as you get back. Your sister-in-law told me how wild you were having fun."

As she spoke, Shi Yu stopped what she was doing, grabbed Bai Yu by the back of the neck, and led her into the shower room.

About ten minutes later, the door opened, and an arm dripping with water threw out Bai Yu, who was wrapped in a bath towel.

Bai Yu landed precisely on the bed, while Shi Yu, seeing her body covered in Bai Yu's bubbles, decided to take another shower.

After coming out, Bai Yu was already dressed in her nightgown and sitting on the edge of the bed. Shi Yu took the dryer and dried Bai Yu's hair before drying her own.

The clock had already struck twelve. After starting two new projects, Shiyu picked up Baiyu and went to bed.

What Shi Yu didn't know was that these two new projects would have a huge impact later on, and even save his life at a critical moment.
