Chapter 60: The Reclusive Youth's Human Card Flirts (8)

Song Chuyi leaned against Shen Han’s chest.

Only after being held like this did he realize that despite Shen Han’s slender figure, he was surprisingly well-built.

He couldn’t resist touching his abdomen, feeling relieved inside.

Thank goodness, no abs.

He had always thought that the antagonist couldn’t have abs all the time!

Song Chuyi touched his own, hmm... none there either.

Even.

Feeling pleased, his eyes curved into a smile, “Han, just hugging isn’t enough.”

Shen Han’s heart skipped a beat, and even his tongue tingled with a strange sensation.

A new kind of anticipation rose from within him, and he lowered his gaze, his Adam’s apple bobbing up and down.

“What else…?”

Song Chuyi tilted his head back, his eyes landing on Shen Han’s lips.

His lips were thin, almost colorless, and didn’t look very kissable.

“It depends on your performance.”

He broke free from Shen Han’s embrace and leaned back against the sofa.

“Starting tomorrow, we need to hunt beasts for money. Once I’m satisfied with the amount we earn, I’ll tell you what else there is besides hugging.”

Without waiting for Shen Han’s response, he picked up his phone and started playing a game.

Shen Han opened his mouth but no sound came out.

How could he tell A'Chu that humans can’t hunt beasts?

Beasts can only be hunted by cards.

But seeing the young man happily engrossed in his game, the words stuck in his throat.

He suddenly realized that card summons might not necessarily want to hunt beasts.

Perhaps their instincts were never about hunting beasts at all.

Otherwise, his A'Chu wouldn’t ask him to hunt beasts.

For the first time, Shen Han felt a faint, not-so-strong doubt about the content of the book.

—

Shen Han went to hunt beasts alone.

While Song Chuyi was immersed in his mobile game, Shen Han silently and quietly left for Qian Lin.

Qian Lin was eerily quiet, even the sounds of insects and birds seemed luxurious here.

Humans cannot detect the presence of beasts, but beasts can attack humans.

Shen Han’s clothes had been torn by a beast, and any ordinary person would have panicked and sought help from their card.

But Shen Han just stood there, letting the wind lift the hem of his clothes and play with his hair.

He closed his eyes, and the world seemed to become silent in that instant.

Humans know very little about cards.

Despite their indispensable nature, perhaps because of their reliance, people have lost their curiosity.

To this day, humans still don’t know where these cards come from or why they can only be summoned once when one reaches adulthood.

No one has ever tried to summon a second time.

It’s unimaginable, forbidden, and even considered a violation of natural law.

But now, standing amidst the beasts, Shen Han initiated his second summoning.

Or perhaps he didn’t even realize he was summoning; he just… didn’t want his A'Chu to tire himself out.

If only cards can kill beasts, then why must it be his A'Chu?

Why can’t it be another card?

As this thought arose, a certain idea pulled him forward.

A black vortex appeared on the blank ground, and from its center, a card flew out.

The card was entirely black, with only a golden border.

In the center was a black eye, currently closed, barely noticeable as an eye unless one looked closely.

The black card floated into Shen Han’s palm, and the black vortex in the air vanished instantly.

Shen Han, sensing something, slowly opened his eyes.

This is his card. He was acutely aware of this fact.

His mental power linked with the card, making it clear to him what kind of card it was.

"Eye of Deprivation: Deprives all abilities of what it sees."

The book had never mentioned such a type of card.

The book had also never mentioned anyone being able to summon a second card.

Shen Han slowly clenched the card in his hand.

Books, after all, could be wrong.

Just like what that self-proclaimed god of prophecy said to his father many years ago.

If books could be wrong, why couldn't that god of prophecy be wrong as well?

Shen Han seemed to chuckle softly and activated the ability of the "Eye of Deprivation."

With a boom, those pitch-black pupils seemed to grow even deeper.

Space seemed to warp for an instant, and then Shen Han saw the evil beasts surrounding him.

They were fierce, ugly, cruel, and also foolish.

The Eye of Deprivation activated, the bodies of the evil beasts twisted, and they lost their breath in an instant.

Only the corpses of the evil beasts, now showing their true forms due to death, remained.

Shen Han's eyelashes trembled slightly as he collected the corpses.

A'Chu had said these could be sold for money.

They needed money now.

After collecting the corpses, Shen Han looked up at the sky, a slight smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

Darkness seemed to flicker in his pitch-black pupils.

—

In the small house, Song Chuyi felt that no one had been beside him for a long time and couldn't help but look up.

"Shen Han?"

He called out, but received no response.

Realizing something was amiss, Song Chuyi quickly got up.

"Shen Han!"

He searched the house, but found no sign of Shen Han.

He wanted to call Shen Han, but when he picked up the phone, he realized it was Shen Han's.

And he himself didn't have a phone!

He tapped his head, "Once I find Shen Han, I'll definitely make him buy me a phone."

"Ding Dong"

A message came in.

He opened it and saw it was from Shen Shu.

"Are you really friends with my Ninth Younger Brother?"

Seeing this message, Song Chuyi felt a surge of anger.

How dare Shen Shu question his relationship with Shen Han!

He and Shen Han were the best friends in the world!

"We are the best friends!"

"Angry Cat.jpg"

Shen Shu: "Do you know what kind of card he summoned?"

Song Chuyi's eyes narrowed; he hadn't seen this coming, Shen Shu was quite devious!

"Why do you ask?"

Shen Shu: "The Bureau of Evil Suppression is looking for someone who summoned a candy skewer card this year, to give them an examination ticket."

"If Ninth Younger Brother summoned a candy skewer card, there would be a greater chance of getting into the Bureau of Evil Suppression."

Song Chuyi: ?

The Bureau of Evil Suppression sure has peculiar tastes.

Shen Shu: "Since you haven't answered for so long, did my Ninth Younger Brother really summon a candy skewer card?"

Song Chuyi was a bit conflicted.

If he admitted it, the chance of getting into the Bureau of Evil Suppression would indeed be much higher, and the probability of helping Shen Han achieve his wish would be greater.

But it would be a lie.

Lying will send you to hell!

But if he doesn’t admit it, there might not be such a good opportunity again in the future.

Song Chuyi hesitated for a few seconds, then lightly tapped his fingertips on the screen, typing out a few words.
