Strange Cards

Chapter 273 Golden Beads

After discussing for a while, the hunters still couldn't come up with a suitable plan, so they gave up on discussing a plan.

After all, apart from Qi Wu, the others weren't people who liked to use their brains. After a unanimous vote, everyone decided to use the purest form of power to solve the problem.

After discussing the matter, instead of returning to Jiangtian Haoyuan, everyone tidied up and went to sleep at the base.

……

A, who had eaten by the sea all night, looked at the tents that were gradually quieting down and said helplessly.

"This couple really knows how to cause trouble."

"From 1 a.m. until dawn, they barely managed to take down the tent."

"Alright, we've eaten and drunk our fill, let's clean up the place and go to sleep."

Last night, after A cleaned up the battlefield outside where they had eaten the night's food, and packed everything up, A left this body and returned to Shigure's body.

Under A's control, this hastily constructed body turned to ashes and vanished within two minutes.

The couple in the tent only slept for two hours before getting up. After possessing the Mysterious Token and having their bodies strengthened, Shigure and Shiro were incredibly powerful. Even after tossing and turning all night, they didn't get much sleep.

Seeing Bai Yu's almost drooling eyes and the tongue licking her lips, Shi Yu couldn't help but chop Bai Yu's forehead with a hand chop.

Stop, that's enough.

"I've been up all night yesterday, even the strongest kidneys need a rest."

"The day my life force is completely drained, you'll have nowhere to cry."

Seeing Bai Yu's stubborn look, Shi Yu slammed a rocket-shaped headbutt into Bai Yu's forehead, instantly bringing Bai Yu to her senses.

"Ugh... Master..."

"If you keep acting like a whiny whiner, I'm going to work the night shift. You can sleep with Miaomiao."

"If it weren't for my good constitution, a normal person would be exhausted for thirty to fifty days after you did that one night."

"Let's go, pack up and go home."

After saying that, Shigure changed into a clean set of clothes and went out. Baiyu dawdled for a while, then changed into a gray dress and also came out of the tent.

Shigure was pleased to see that A had tidied up most of the site. After packing everything up, Shigure drove Baiyu back to the Hunter's Base.

The first thing Shiyu did upon returning to the base was to wash the clothes the two of them had worn the previous night to prevent them from being discovered.

After all, although Bai Yu has grown up a bit, her face still looks quite young. If Shi Yu hadn't been in the dark last night, she really wouldn't have been able to do it.

After finishing everything, Shigure noticed a new message on her desktop. She opened it, read the message, and then went to the conference room.

"Hey, everyone's here?"

Shiyu arrived at her seat, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

Looking at Bai Yu's rosy complexion and Shi Yu's obviously weak appearance, Liu An, who had been through it all, had already guessed what had happened last night.

Liu An handed the cup of goji berry and ginseng tea in his hand to Shi Yu, then pretended not to know anything and quietly looked at the holographic screen.

Shi Yu looked at the goji berry and ginseng tea in front of her, opened the lid, took a sip, and felt that all the losses from last night had been made up for.

"How's everyone's plan coming along?"

Qi Wu sighed.

"That Buddhist temple definitely has serious problems."

"But those bald guys have already seen me, Shunzi, Da Niu, you, and Yu Yan. They already know about five of the eight combatants from the south."

"The doctor's combat ability is not outstanding, which means that the only people among those bald guys who don't know this are Liu An and Bai Yu."

"What's the plan?"

Qi Wu cleared his throat and clicked on a picture.

"Let them disguise themselves as a mother and daughter worshippers to go in and burn incense and pray to Buddha, then we'll storm in."

"According to the information we have received, those bald guys have killed people, and it's not as simple as killing one or two people."

"or...."

Shi Yu took out his black cloak, put it on, and then took out the Demon Blade.

"Should I go?"

"Don't even think about it, it won't work."

"Your Shura and Royal Flush are too powerful. Even if you become an extreme demon, you will still cause incalculable damage."

"Today is the day of the Buddhist assembly at Qingdao Buddhist Temple, and there are far more people there than usual."

"We must ensure the safety of those people before dealing with those bald guys, otherwise things will get complicated."

"Why are the roads blocked off to prevent pilgrims from going to Qingdao Buddhist Temple?"

Qi Wu shook his head, sighed, and then said.

"It's no use."

"Those guys are like they've lost their minds. They'll climb over mountains and forests if they want to. Now we can't block them on the main road, because if they get lost in the mountains and forests, things will get even more complicated."

"It sounds like they've been mind-controlled."

"That's right."

Qi Wu took out a small box, and inside that small box was the golden bead that had been removed from Yu Yan's body.

"Yu Yan and the other two only went in and had the monks chant sutras for a while, and then this golden bead appeared in their bodies."

"We've tested it, and this bead has a strong mind-controlling effect, capable of directly influencing a person's judgment by bypassing human thought processes."

"Kid, bring me that bead, I want to try it."

"I may have a way to break this deadlock."

A's voice rang out, and Shigure picked up the small box and shook it, revealing the beads inside.

"Boss, can I take this bead out?"

"Please go ahead."

"However, you must be careful to keep your mind clear and not let this bead control your spirit."

Shi Yu nodded, then pushed the slashing blade away slightly.

The terrifying blood-fiend energy surged into Shigure's body. A normal person would be severely injured or killed if hit by this level of blood-fiend energy, but Shigure seemed completely unaffected as he inhaled and exhaled the blood-fiend energy.

Shigure crushed the box and held the golden bead in her hand, her Ace of Spades' comprehension ability activating immediately.

A's ghostly power slowly seeped into the golden bead, and then the color of the golden bead gradually faded until it disappeared completely.

After the bead disappeared, Shigure opened his eyes and sheathed the demonic sword again.

"This thing really is something that controls people's minds."

"But why do I feel like there's still some ability I haven't grasped?"

"That's because that thing is a purely latent ability; it won't reveal itself unless you trigger it."

A's voice rang out, and A raised his hand and rubbed the golden bead out again.

"This thing can not only control a person's mind, but also control their thoughts and even their flesh and blood."

"Moreover, these things are subtly absorbing something from this group of people, something that is quite important to them."

"What is it?"

"Merit and virtue."
