My Stubborn Soul Card Follower

Shen Sui never expected that the one attacked would be Yue Tao.

However, if the opponent's target was indeed a Soul Card with a magical background, Yue Tao did fit the criteria.

When Shen Sui arrived at the hospital, Yue Tao was still undergoing emergency treatment.

His body had no wounds, but he appeared in pain and his entire body was trembling.

The most advanced instruments only detected anomalies in his brainwaves, yet couldn't find any cause.

All of this was beyond what modern medicine could understand.

Wang Ming walked over with a few Life Cards: "His Dueling Device and deck have been sent to the Technology Bureau for identification. We suspect the opponent possesses a mysterious force capable of harming the Life Card Master through the Dueling Device."

Shen Sui opened his mouth, just about to say something, when the alarm from the emergency room blared loudly.

He subconsciously furrowed his brows.

Although Yue Tao wasn't exactly a friend, he had helped him several times with good intentions and even exchanged a very precious card with him. Not showing concern would make Shen Sui seem somewhat heartless.

"Don't worry, it's not Yue Tao." Wang Ming showed a very helpless expression and said, "It's Feng Lindu. Ever since that day, we've been trying to restore his consciousness to determine the mechanism by which the soul invaded reality. But unfortunately, when the soul left Feng Lindu's body, it seemed to have placed a curse on him, which Dean Bu described as a non-infectious virus. This virus has quickly deprived him of vitality, and we have no means to treat it. We can only watch as his internal organs slowly become fibrotic because of the virus."

At this point, Wang Ming glanced at Shen Sui. He hesitated for a moment since this was somewhat touching upon Exploration Bureau secrets. But then he thought, knowing more wouldn't hurt since the other party already knew about the Extraordinary Invasion. So he continued, "The Exploration Bureau actually found this virus's original strain in World No. 19 and located a special medicine. But strangely, although we cloned the medicine, it cannot cure him. Dean Bu speculates that Feng Lindu might not only have the powers of World No. 19."

Of course, he also had the powers of World No. 1.

The culprit Shen Sui listened calmly, occasionally showing a surprised expression.

He indeed underestimated the technicians of the real world; they could actually deduce that Feng Lindu had powers from other worlds.

Well, indeed, those in high positions are never fools, and their apparent stupidity is more often due to a difference in perspective.

But the Exploration Bureau and the Technology Bureau are different. They have been exploring within all thirty-three Soul Card Worlds, having researched various forces beyond reality, so their perspective is naturally broad. When the science of World No. 19 could not explain this, they naturally thought of other possibilities.

"At this pace, I'm afraid it's hopeless." Wang Ming said with some regret. After all, Feng Lindu was a rare Life Card Master who survived after an Extraordinary Invasion. If he could be researched, many clues could be obtained.

"Oh, right." Wang Ming handed the Life Cards in his hand to Shen Sui and asked, "Do you recognize these Life Cards?"

Shen Sui glanced at them; they were the set of cards including the Wood Element Guard he had traded to Yue Tao.

"They are my cards; we once exchanged cards."

"These cards have been marked." Wang Ming said, "We suspect that the suspect who attacked Yue Tao did it. You very likely have become one of their targets. It would be best not to act alone in these few days. The headquarters says they will arrange temporary housing for you at the Exploration Bureau."

Wang Ming actually only needed to mention this to Shen Sui, but his experience in grassroots work made him believe that the other party was likely not to take his kindness. So he simply brought Shen Sui to the hospital to let him see the tragedy of the attack, hoping he would believe his words.

Shen Sui indeed guessed that Wang Ming had other intentions in bringing him out, but he didn't expect it was just to move him to a different place: "I thought you would ask me to be the bait for fishing."

Wang Ming's face immediately showed an awkward expression.

After discovering that the Life Cards originally belonging to Shen Sui were marked by the suspect, the proposal to use Shen Sui as bait was indeed raised during the Exploration Bureau's operational meeting.

However, this proposal was directly vetoed by Director Zhang.

Shen Sui is one of the few cooperative Life Card Masters known to the Exploration Bureau who possess powerful Soul Cards in World No. 1, and such a person should not be sent on risky assignments. His value is far greater than just solving a case.

Of course, the analysis personnel at the Exploration Bureau were indeed puzzled by Shen Sui's Soul Card.

This girl named Hozerville was infamous on the Dawn Continent, being the mastermind behind the City of Sin and the Error War, making her a super villain in the eyes of all churches. But why, in reality, when Shen Sui switches forms, is Hozerville's form only up to 4 stars?

Understood, it must be that Shen Sui was hiding his real strength.

Shen Sui thought it over, but he refused Wang Ming's proposal.

He's never been the kind to sit and wait for death, and he's far from being a helpless weakling.

Being the target of someone else is a very unpleasant feeling.

Shen Sui didn't like this feeling of being targeted.

Moreover, he's also incredibly curious about this ability to inflict pain through dueling.

The Dark Duel version of Life Card Duel?

Would the opponent perform mockingly?

******

"Why? This is impossible!"

In a dark and secluded alley within a residential area of the Duel Training Hall, a man watched everything before him in disbelief.

"Ugh—!"

The next moment, a pitch-black phantom hand pierced through his chest. Although it was just a duel projection, it gripped his heart as if it were real, causing the man to howl in agony. His body twisted from the soul-deep pain.

His Life Value immediately dropped from 2000 to 0.

"Damn~! What is this..." The man showed fear, finally realizing that this pain and damage were definitely not a simulation by the Dueling Device.

"Yes! Yes! Just this expression!"

Opposite him, a woman in flamboyant attire watched the man's suffering with excitement.

Her already vibrant lips became even redder with excitement. She opened her mouth and licked her lips,

"Ah! Ah! That's it! That's it~!" "This taste of suffering is truly sweet!"

She held her cheeks as if unable to contain the excitement in her body, her hands compulsively scratching her already resplendent face, leaving several bloody marks.

Yet these marks mysteriously vanished the next moment.

This was the reward given to her by the Suffering Bodhisattva.

"Ah~ Praise the great Suffering Bodhisattva!"

The woman stepped forward and seized the man's Dueling Device, taking out the Soul Card within, her voice trembling with excitement, her eyes sparkling:

"I will follow your will! Tear open the barrier of reality... let this world taste true suffering!"
