Strange Cards

Chapter 475 Live on with My Eyes

Shi Yu looked at Qi Wu, and was about to use Time Flow to freeze Qi Wu's time when Qi Wu waved his hand. He raised his right hand, which was beginning to become somewhat ethereal, and said.

Time is running out.

"I can feel myself slowly turning into a ghost."

"Kill me."

"Right now."

Shigure suddenly loosened his grip on the knife, and upon closer inspection, it became clear that his hand was trembling violently.

Shigure, who never hesitated to wield his sword, hesitated for the first time in his life.

Qi Wu looked at Shi Yu, suddenly regained some of his strength, and spoke angrily.

"Do you want me to die as a monster?"

"I am still human, and I want to preserve my reputation until the very end."

"I don't want them to write in their records that Qi Wu died as a monster in the end."

"I don't want them, mother and daughter, to know that I, Qi Wu, ultimately died as a monster."

"In their eyes I am a hero, but a hero should not die as a monster."

Shi Yu trembled as she picked up the murderous blade from the ground, closed her eyes, and said...

"I see."

"The pain will end soon."

With the sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh, Qi Wu's tense body suddenly relaxed, and he lay on the ground looking at the stars in the sky.

Feeling his body growing lighter and lighter, Qi Wu, with trembling hands, took out the bright red Vermilion Bird Token and said.

"Little...Little Rain."

"After I die, send this token back so that Gu Yue can return to the Hunter's Base and become a Southern Hunter."

"Guan Yun... died during our final battle."

"After acquiring thirteen strange cards, I was able to sense many things."

"In the end, she chose to severely damage the Mist Calamity by self-destructing her mech, giving Gu Nian and the others a chance to finish it off."

"There's no one left at the Southern Base. Even if Xiao Qi and Xiao Jiu grow up and join us, it'll be too late."

"Return the Vermilion Bird Token. Gu Yue will know what to do once she sees the token."

Qi Wu breathed a sigh of relief, and with his last bit of strength, he took out the thirteen strange cards tied with hearts from his pocket and placed them in Shi Yu's hand.

"I believe in you, and I believe in the future you envision."

"I also hope that my wife and daughter can live well, and that they don't have to die in the final disaster."

"I am also a hunter, and I am also willing to sacrifice my life for the future of this world."

"These strange cards are now yours. They should be the last strange cards you failed to collect."

"..."

"My journey has come to an end, but you must continue."

"Don't feel guilty for killing me. Thank you so much. Thank you for seeing me off on my final journey."

"Thank you for not letting me die as a monster."

"Don't feel pressured about this. We won't hate you before we die. You don't need to carry such a heavy psychological burden."

"I will go to everyone's side and quietly watch over your story."

"The road ahead depends on you."

As Qi Wu spoke, he controlled his eyeballs to fly out of their sockets.

Shi Yu stared at the two eyes that emanated a faint aura of ghostly power, her face filled with shock.

"Boss..."

"This is...."

"This is the last gift I will give you."

Qi Wu coughed heavily a few times, but still managed to control his last bit of strength and stuff the eyeballs into Shi Yu's eye sockets.

After the eyeballs entered Shiyu's eye sockets, Shiyu suddenly realized that she could see again. When she opened her eyes, she saw Qi Wu in front of her, who was about to disappear and whose eye sockets were now empty.

Qi Wu's hand groped in the air, while Shi Yu grabbed Qi Wu's hand and pressed it against her face.

After touching Shiyu, Qi Wu's face showed a relieved smile, and he patted Shiyu's head.

"The last time I gave you a gift was for your birthday when you first joined the Hunters, it was that Demon Blade."

"That knife helped you a lot, and in the end it even grew into the weapon of Shura."

"Before I die, I'll help you one last time."

"Now, I grant you the ability to see the light again."

As Qi Wu spoke, his body slowly flew into the sky.

The red heart-shaped belt that Shigure had slashed to pieces fell to the ground and was completely destroyed in a flash.

Even at the very end, Shi Yu couldn't see a trace of regret on Qi Wu's face; instead, his face was full of a relieved smile.

In the end, Qi Wu's ethereal body took flight and floated silently in the sky.

Before dissipating, Qi Wu gently flicked Shi Yu's head and smiled.

"Follow your own path. You are Shigure, and no one can sway your thoughts."

"No matter what you do, we will always support you."

"Live on, live well."

"You must live well."

"We'll be watching over you from the other side."

"Bye now."

"This time it's really goodbye."

After Qi Wu finished speaking, his figure completely disappeared, and at that moment, the midnight bells rang.

Qi Wu ultimately did not die on his daughter's birthday.

As if hearing the tolling of a bell, a faint sigh echoed between heaven and earth.

After waiting all night, Gu Yue suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if she had lost something very important.

Qi Nannan's face suddenly turned unhappy. For some reason, an inexplicable sadness enveloped Gu Yue and her daughter.

Shi Yu looked in the direction Qi Wu had left and noticed a box the size of a Rubik's Cube lying there.

Shigure picked up the box, and the box transformed into a huge alloy briefcase in the next moment.

When Shigure opened the box and saw its contents, she knelt on the ground and began to sob uncontrollably.

……

After watching Joker take away the core of the Mist Calamity, Gu Nian sat down on the ground as if deflated.

Chun also withdrew from her state of overflowing power, looked at the huge crater created by the explosion, and casually made a bunch of camellia flowers out of smoke.

Chun placed the bunch of camellia flowers in front of the giant pit, then stood there quietly pondering something.

Meanwhile, the other beings from the other world also took out wildflowers they had picked from the surrounding area and offered them to the edge of the giant pit to show their utmost respect for Guan Yun.

Guan Yun did not hesitate to self-destruct, severely injuring the Misty Calamity and giving them the opportunity to kill him. In return, they were willing to offer Guan Yun this bouquet of flowers that belonged to them.

Even the most arrogant of the otherworldly beings, Kuang Lei, had to give Guan Yun a thumbs up and sincerely praise him.

The other hunters and headhunters who came to help gradually left. Feng Chuan also learned of Qi Wu's death and seemed rather listless.
