My Stubborn Soul Card Follower

Chapter 889 - 523: Ambush (Part 2)

Shen Sui decisively activated the Extraordinary Mode.Once activated, it didn’t concern much, but as everything around was drawn into Shen Sui’s perception, the presence of the group of combat personnel behind Bu Pei emitted a sensation that made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

These disguised Extraordinaries were extremely sensitive.

As soon as there was a slight change in Shen Sui’s expression, they instantly erupted.

Their backs suddenly rose high, and these originally intact-looking humans seemed to turn into cocoons. With the sound of flesh tearing, hideous and grotesque monsters covered in brown-black fur roared and charged out.

The speed of these monsters was incredibly fast, breaking out one moment and appearing in front of Shen Sui the next.

Their newly hatched and yet to be adjusted arms and legs were twisted and deformed as they lunged towards the Dueling Device on Shen Sui’s wrist.

Qishala reacted even faster than Shen Sui by a few moments.

Not giving these furry monsters any chance to touch Shen Sui, she, already prepared, almost instantly turned these newborn monsters into flying ashes.

As a maid, within her capabilities, she couldn’t let her master lose his elegance by fighting personally.

The good news was that at least Bu Pei wasn’t affected; nothing strange or peculiar parasitized his body.

"What the hell is this!" Bu Pei said, somewhat surprised.

"You don’t seem too scared."

"Not really scared, I’ve seen even wilder things in my dad’s lab," Bu Pei said, "Samples of the Extraordinary Invaders are sent to my dad first, but I didn’t expect even the personnel sent by the Exploration Bureau to be parasitized by them."

"Looks like a parasite from the Apocalypse World." Although they were already reduced to ashes by Qishala, relying on his impression, Shen Sui roughly determined the origin of these creatures.

However, it shouldn’t be from the Apocalypse World where Lin Zhen is located.

"Were these guys coming for me?" Bu Pei didn’t know whether it was due to his bravery or his experience, but he quickly calmed down.

"Not necessarily, it could be a parasitic coincidence..." Shen Sui hadn’t finished his words when he seemed to perceive something, smirked and changed his tone, "Okay, now I can confirm, these guys were definitely coming for you."

Bu Pei froze, not having time to inquire about the situation, when a roaring sound came from afar.

Looking towards the sound, amidst the rising dust, a beautifully crafted villa was reduced to ruins.

A cute little creature flew out from the ruins.

It dragged a trail of white light particles behind it, and numerous cards followed this trail, flying towards where Shen Sui was standing.

Behind the little creature, a dark shadow followed closely, but upon seeing Shen Sui, he almost immediately stopped in his tracks.

Shen Sui clearly felt his gaze fall on the corpses of these combat personnel on the ground, and then the shadow turned and fled without hesitation.

His body was agile, moving at speeds beyond normal human limits.

But seemingly maintaining rationality.

He should be one of the Extraordinaries invading Modu.

"Damn, my villa." Bu Pei fixed his eyes on the demolished villa, realizing it was his own.

"Damn it, this is the third one this month!" Bu Pei said indignantly.

Shen Sui’s mouth twitched slightly.

Just how many houses does this rich man own?

Ah, no.

Just how many houses has this guy bought to collect Life Cards!

Listening to this guy’s tone, it’s estimated all three houses were heavily struck because the Extraordinaries came to loot the Life Cards.

In the meantime, that cute little creature stopped before Shen Sui.

This was a small backup plan Shen Sui had left at Bu Pei Villa last time. Once Bu Pei’s Forbidden Card collection was threatened, this little Puppet would carry the cards and leap over to Shen Sui.

Retrieving the Puppet back into storage space, Life Cards landed one by one in Shen Sui’s palm.

"You actually collected so many." Although he was mentally prepared, when Shen Sui witnessed the exact amount, he still felt somewhat shocked.

It turned out that besides those collections Bu Pei displayed, there were that many Life Cards.

"Otherwise, why would they call me a wasteful son?" Bu Pei said, "The displayed ones were just a fraction; most are in the safe."

Saying this, he seemed to recall his other two looted homes, sighed, and said, "Initially, I wanted to set up a private Life Card museum, but before finding the right house, a tenth of the stock got looted."

"..." Shen Sui stayed silent for a while, looking at Bu Pei and said, "If those extraors quickly and proficiently master the Life Card Duel skills and own a set of powerful decks for battle, I feel you would become the culprit."

Life Cards are abundant in the real world; some large clubs’ card library storage even exceeds Bu Pei’s total collection count.

But as for such a high level of concentration, and all being Physical Cards instead of data, only a collector like Bu Pei has it.

Storing Life Cards in a digital card library essentially carries no risk of theft, but those collected as Physical Cards aren’t so lucky.

"That’s why the Exploration Bureau came over, didn’t they?" Bu Pei looked again at the bodies on the ground.

As he finished speaking, the alarm from the sky suddenly ceased.

Bu Pei glanced at the sky with some surprise: "This thing can actually stop? Is it broken?"

"If the alarm stops, does it mean the Extraordinary power in the city has been purged?" Shen Sui asked.

"Not necessarily, the alarm signals the appearance of an Extraordinary power that poses a risk to human safety in the city. Extraordinary fluctuations that don’t reach the warning threshold won’t trigger an alarm," Bu Pei said, "But the Exploration Bureau set the alarm’s threshold too low. I guess they’ll readjust the alarm threshold for the aerial duel platform."

It seems the situation is worse than Shen Sui imagined.

Bu Pei’s so-called threshold being too low is actually inaccurate because the Extraordinary fluctuations that can reach this value are enough to cause mass casualties, but if this line isn’t raised then this annoying alarm won’t ever stop.

After the alarm stopped, it never sounded again.

Bu Pei complained: "Looks like it’s really broken."

While saying this, he looked towards Qishala behind Shen Sui.

"I’m a bit scared to die, can you take me back to the Exploration Bureau," Bu Pei said, "Before I came, I heard from the chief of the Exploration Bureau that you are going there today for a Promotion Tournament, just conveniently on the way."

Although he hadn’t seen the specific process of Qishala’s fight, killing these Parasite Beasts is an objective fact, coupled with Shen Sui’s Puppet tricks, it would only be a problem if Bu Pei didn’t see Shen Sui’s special abilities.

Shen Sui didn’t refuse; indeed, he needed to go to the Exploration Bureau.

"If you’re interested, you can pick some cards you like from there," Bu Pei closely followed by Shen Sui’s side, "I estimate there’s no way I can protect these cards."

Before the Extraordinary Invasion, he might still have the confidence.

But attacked so closely by Extraordinaires, he already clearly acknowledged his own level.

In this era of Extraordinary Invasion, wanting to protect these precious Forbidden Cards is simply a fool’s dream.

In that case, might as well go with the flow and use these Forbidden Cards to make friends with some powerful Life Card Masters.

Bu Pei might be a bit of a spendthrift, but he’s definitely not stupid; he understands the concept of "A great truth is only ever prized by its price."

"What do you plan to do with these cards afterwards?" Shen Sui didn’t have any intentions of consuming all the Forbidden Cards.

For Shen Sui, making good use of the Life Cards in his deck is the best choice.

"Donation or auction," Bu Pei sighed, appearing somewhat forlorn, after all, these are his most precious collections, "It must be public."
