Strange Cards

Chapter 484 Three Years Later

"For the greater good..."

"And give yourselves!"

After saying that, the raging thunder that had transformed into a tsunami unleashed its ultimate attack, the Crocodile Scissor Kick, and countless waves transformed into a giant crocodile mouth that hurtled towards the Joker.

As Chun looked at the dying Kuang Lei in front of her, Chun had experienced this three times in the past four years.

This is the fourth time.

Chun knew that Kuang Lei was risking his life to create an opportunity and time for her to escape, so she didn't dare to delay. While Kuang Lei was fighting Joker, she turned into black smoke again and escaped.

But Joker now has ten Cataclysm Cores, only missing the Tsunami Cataclysm Core from Kuang Lei.

After seeing Chun escape, Joker didn't plan to play anymore. Just as he was about to get up and smash Kuang Lei, he was suddenly kicked away by Kuang Lei.

"Did I win...?"

Kuang Lei squatted on the ground, panting heavily. Looking at the thick smoke in front of him, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

Regardless of whether Kuang Lei wins or loses, death is already a foregone conclusion.

Suddenly, a hand emerged from the smoke, and you could only watch as it pierced through your chest and snatched the Cataclysmic Core from your body.

"Ants..."

"It actually has such power..."

Joker touched a scratch on his face, then got up and left.

Kuang Lei knelt on the ground, staring at the hole in his chest, then raised his head.

On his deathbed, Kuang Lei vaguely saw his father waving to him.

Kuang Lei's father was a military commander. Kuang Lei, who should have been a soldier, chose to give up everything and join the Otherworlders.

Kuang Lei knew that he was an absolute disgrace to his father, a name that would forever be nailed to the pillar of shame and infamous for eternity.

Even Kuang Lei wasn't his original name; he changed it after joining the Otherworlders.

Even though Kuang Lei had become a ghost, he still raised his hand and murmured something.

"Father..."

Did I get even a little closer to you?

At that moment, a ray of sunlight shone down from the sky, and the eerie, twisted shadow behind Kuang Lei slowly dissipated, revealing Kuang Lei's human form.

At that moment, Kuang Lei saw his father reach out to him with loving kindness for the first time, and then pat his head.

The thunder finally turned into particles of light, which were scattered throughout this world by a gentle breeze.

……

The Sea of ​​Oblivion.

Shigure looked at the plum blossom and cube types that had regained all their power, and then looked at the cube A that she had temporarily made to carry the power.

"It's time to go out."

"I need to find Chun and get that Ace of Diamonds back so that its power can be complete."

"Then the holy war can begin."

Shigure watched as Joker snapped his fingers, causing Joker to merge into the back of his hand.

When the power of prophecy was activated, Shigure realized that four years had passed outside.

"Ugh."

"Four years have passed in the blink of an eye."

"I'm not young anymore."

As Shi Yu spoke, he gathered up the weapons on the ground, took them all with him, left a stone tablet to record what had happened here, and then opened the gate to the Sea of ​​Oblivion and walked out.

After Shigure left this time, the Sea of ​​Oblivion became just like its name.

It became an ocean completely forgotten by the world, where it quietly remained.

However, the monument left by Shigure records everything here, and records what happened here.

So that what happened here won't be completely forgotten.

……

In a coffee shop.

Fourteen-year-old Liu Yu had grown into a beautiful young woman. Her slightly white hair and her heroic aura always attracted people around her.

Compared to Liu Yu, fourteen-year-old Qi Nannan has a more gentle and graceful temperament, and it is obvious to anyone with discerning eyes that Qi Nannan's gentleness comes from Gu Yue.

Looking at Qi Nannan eating a blueberry mille-feuille in front of her, Liu Yu stirred the juice in her hand.

"Xiao Qi, another year has passed."

Spring is coming again, and Qingming Festival is just around the corner.

"Should we pack our things and go to Little Green Hill to visit them?"

Qi Nannan nodded gently, scooped out a piece of blueberry mille-feuille with a spoon, and put it into Liu Yu's mouth.

"Let's go together, Mom's been so busy lately she's practically running around like crazy."

"Although a few new people have come to the base, we still need support from other bases to train the newbies."

"We both need to look after them from time to time."

Liu Yu took a sip of juice, and then Qi Nannan pushed the egg tart next to her over.

"Aunt Gu said that the earliest we can join the Hunters is sixteen, which is another two years."

"Although we're definitely going to join the Hunters, sixteen is still a bit too late, isn't it?"

"Can't we go in at number fourteen?"

Qi Nannan gently flicked Liu Yu, took a sip of the strawberry juice beside her, and then said.

That's going too far.

"We're still in junior high. Even Shigure-nii only joined when he was about to graduate from high school."

"The first one to join, Sister Yuyan, was sixteen. We're only fourteen, and you think we can break the rules?"

"Aren't you afraid that when Shiyu comes back one day and finds out about this, he'll spank you?"

"Will he come back?"

"That big jerk has been gone for four years. In the letter he left for us, he said he'd only be gone for a short while, but look at him now!"

As Liu Yu spoke, she sullenly poked the egg tart in her hand with a small spoon, puffing out her cheeks in a huff.

"He's been gone for four years. I've texted him on my phone, but he hasn't replied to a single message in four years."

"From now on, we can't even trust the punctuation marks on that big pig's trotter's words."

Qi Nannan covered her mouth and chuckled softly, then pushed another piece of cake over and said...

"Okay, don't be angry."

"He's not one to break his word; if he says he'll come back, he definitely will."

"We have two options: one is to wait for him to come back, and the other is to wait until he turns sixteen before we go looking for him again."

Qi Nannan took a sip of juice, then scooped out another piece of cake and said.

"Don't forget that a couple of years ago we secretly used the rabbit to go out and find people, and my mom found out. It gave her quite a fright."

"It will take at least two years. We've waited for so many years already, what's a little longer?"

"Have some dessert. We should be happy at our age."

"They won't have any worries if we're happy. Don't be all puffed up like a little pufferfish all the time."

Liu Yu took a bite of the egg tart in her hand, her long hair swaying slightly as she got angry.

Qi Nannan covered her mouth and chuckled secretly, then called over the waiter and ordered a few more desserts.

Qi Nannan took care of Liu Yu like an older sister. After so many years together, she knew Liu Yu's personality better than anyone.

Although she said she was angry, Liu Yu would actually forget about it in less than half a day.

Liu Yu doesn't hold grudges; she just likes to mention Shi Yu occasionally.

In Liu Yu's own words, he had already done it.

Can't I even ramble on a little?

P.S.: It's almost time for the story to end, at the latest around March 3rd or 4th.

If possible, try to finish writing it around the 1st, and then release the two side stories and endings on the 3rd or 4th to completely conclude the story of the Mysterious Card.

The side story ending is still being written slowly, since both endings are better than the main storyline ending.

Please, please stop criticizing me, I'm really going to write a happy ending.

This isn't the main storyline's ending where the characters reunite in the underworld.
