Chapter 58: The Reclusive Teen's Human Card Charms the Master (6)

Perhaps because Song Chuyi didn't speak for a moment, Shen Han's face darkened.

"Did I hit the mark?"

Song Chuyi hurriedly waved his hands, "How could that be?"

He looked surprised, "I am your person, how could I possibly like Shen Shu?"

He couldn't help but look at him a few more times, "Shen Han, why would you think that?"

This was simply an insult to his dignity as a card!

"Shen Han, I belong to you!"

He emphasized this with a stronger tone.

The corners of Shen Han's mouth curled up slightly, as if his mood had improved.

"Hmm." He had somehow taken Song Chuyi's hand, "Mine."

A'Chu is mine.

Seeing that he had explained himself clearly, Song Chuyi let out a light hum and poked Shen Han's shoulder with his soft fingertips.

"Shen Han, you must work hard to get into the Bureau of Evil Suppression."

"Hmm." Shen Han responded in a low voice, "I will definitely pass the exam."

Although he had agreed, getting into the Bureau of Evil Suppression was extremely difficult.

The Bureau of Evil Suppression, a completely independent organization from the four major families, and even above them, had long been recognized as the savior of this world.

It was said that those who could enter the Bureau of Evil Suppression all possessed extremely special cards, which could trigger celestial phenomena with just a movement, and even eliminate evil beasts with a single move.

Someone once saw a man in the Bureau of Evil Suppression's robe wave his hand during an evil beast invasion, instantly eliminating all the evil beasts.

The awe-inspiring scene of controlling the heavens and earth has been circulating on various video websites to this day.

However, the people of the Bureau of Evil Suppression were always mysterious, appearing only once a year during the evil beast invasions.

They usually remained hidden, no one knew where their headquarters was, or who their leader was, or even how they recruited members.

It was only known that every June, the Bureau of Evil Suppression would distribute some examination vouchers to the people they deemed worthy.

Those who received the examination vouchers would undergo an assessment at a certain time, the success criteria of which no one knew, but it was known that the Bureau of Evil Suppression only admitted one person each year.

This year, Shen Shu was admitted, so Shen Han would have to wait for next year's opportunity if he wanted to join the Bureau of Evil Suppression.

Before then, he needed to become proficient in using his card and build a rapport with it.

But...

Shen Han looked at Song Chuyi, who was chatting with the old man selling candied haws, and his eyelashes slowly lowered.

Books didn't teach how to build a rapport with a human card.

This was beyond Shen Han's knowledge.

When Song Chuyi finally finished chatting with the candied haw vendor and came back, he found Shen Han sitting in the chair with a somewhat unhappy expression.

He sat down and offered the candied haw he had already bitten into to Shen Han.

"It's really good, try it."

Shen Han slowly raised his head and saw the small haw with what seemed to be tooth marks, and actually reached out to take it.

He bit along the faint tooth marks.

"Is it good?" Song Chuyi asked from the side.

Shen Han nodded.

Song Chuyi was satisfied, "I told you it was good. Old Wang said this is his exclusive secret recipe, and even the haws are grown by himself."

"A stick only costs two yuan, very cheap."

Speaking of money, Song Chuyi suddenly remembered something.

"Shen Han, we don't have much money now, should we earn some?"

"Should we go hunt evil beasts?"

Hunting evil beasts was the fastest way to make money in this world.

Though it was dangerous, danger often meant high rewards.

Of course, he also wanted to fight the powerful evil beasts here.

"Let's go tomorrow." Shen Han finished the candied haw, the sweet syrup was a bit cloying, but paired with the slight sourness of the haw, it was barely tolerable.

Most importantly, A'Chu had given it to him.

"Let's go to the library first."

He stood up and extended his hand to Song Chuyi.

Song Chuyi, sitting on the bench, looked at Shen Han reaching out to him, tilted his head slightly, smiled, and chuckled.

"Then you must hold my hand tightly."

He slowly placed his hand in Shen Han's palm.

Shen Han's palm was large, with fine calluses on his fingertips that rubbed against the back of his hand, causing a slight itch.

He stood up and only then realized that Shen Han was actually half a head taller than him.

Strange, was he this tall before?

This doubt flashed through Song Chuyi's mind but quickly vanished without a trace.

Shen Han held his hand, gripping it tightly, unwilling to let go even a little bit.

The two entered the library, and Shen Han began flipping through books.

Song Chuyi glanced over and noticed that he was reading about how to cultivate a bond with cards.

He only glanced once before turning away, not giving it much thought.

It was no easy feat to come to the library, so he naturally had things he wanted to read as well!

The library was a great place to learn about this world.

Song Chuyi focused on researching the Bureau of Evil Suppression.

There was very little information about this organization, and what little there was mostly praised its power, rarely mentioning any weaknesses or goals.

This piqued Song Chuyi's curiosity.

Human actions were peculiar.

Sometimes they acted out of faith, other times out of desire.

Even when humans did the same thing, their motives could differ greatly, let alone for an organization like the Bureau of Evil Suppression, rumored to have the power to destroy the heavens and earth.

The person who founded the Bureau of Evil Suppression must have had a specific purpose in mind.

If he could understand this purpose, perhaps he could figure out what kind of people the Bureau of Evil Suppression truly needed.

That would make it easier to join.

Unfortunately, after searching through all the books in the library about the Bureau of Evil Suppression, he found nothing and could only return to Shen Han with his doubts unresolved.

Shen Han was already waiting for him.

He seemed to have found the answers he sought, and his gaze towards Song Chuyi carried a depth that was hard to describe.

Song Chuyi walked to Shen Han's side and hooked his pinky finger with his.

"Are we going home?"

"Hmm." Shen Han took Song Chuyi's hand on his own initiative.

The warmth from his palm seemed to be bewitching him.

Standing beside him was not a card in human form, but a living, breathing person.

Yet, he had watched him step out of a card.

He could also feel the mental connection between them, though it was faint, it existed.

So he was his unique card, a one-of-a-kind human-form card in this world.

---

In a high-rise building in Lin City, nine masked figures sat in a circle.

In the center, a card floated in mid-air, displaying a single word.

"SSR"

This was a prophecy card.

Every year, this prophecy card revealed the highest rank and type of awakened cards for that year.

They would then use this prophecy to screen and observe candidates, deciding whether to recruit them into the Bureau of Evil Suppression.

For example, Shen Shu, who was newly recruited this year, had been predicted by the prophecy card five years ago. They observed Shen Shu for nearly five years, confirming his ability to enter the Bureau of Evil Suppression before extending an invitation.

But this year, something seemed different.
