Chapter 63: The Reclusive Teen's Human Card Has Begun to Charm (11)

The annual beast tide is the most terrifying time for people.

A week-long beast tide can leave tens of thousands of families in ruins, and during that week, all the top news stories are about the beast tide.

Every year, the shocking death tolls on the trending lists seem to bring despair to this otherwise beautiful world.

As early as a week before this year's beast tide, the trending lists were already dominated by news about it.

This is something that concerns everyone, so many people pay attention.

Anyone in any city who can summon a B-level or higher card must go to defend the city gates.

Everyone knows that if the city gates are breached, the entire city will be occupied by beasts, with no one surviving.

On the first day of the beast tide, major media outlets began reporting the battle situation in real-time on the trending lists.

In previous years, the death tolls from various cities would dominate the lists, but this year seems different.

Other cities continued to report their usual death tolls, but Lin City's trend was peculiar this year.

#Zero Deaths#

#Mysterious Teen Single-Handedly Eliminates Beasts#

#Who Is He#

…………

Such headlines appeared on the trending list, drawing the curiosity of many who clicked to learn more.

Apart from the shock of zero deaths, the fact that a mysterious teen single-handedly eliminated the beasts was enough to pique anyone's interest.

Under these headlines, someone posted a three-second video.

In the video, a black-clothed, masked teen stands before the city gate, slightly raising his hand.

The camera cannot capture the appearance of the beasts while they are alive, so the video only shows the teen lifting his hand, followed by a pile of corpses appearing on the ground before the city gate.

With just a casual gesture, the swarm of beasts rushing toward the city gate instantly died, revealing their true forms.

The brief three-second video caused a frenzy of comments under it.

"Ah! Three seconds! I want this teen's information!"

"When did Lin City have such a powerful figure? Will there be no deaths in Lin City this year?"

"I envy Lin City so much! Can the big shot come to our place? We'll cover your flight, accommodation, everything!"

"Damn! This is too showy!"

"I suddenly remember the rumors from a few months ago at the Qianlin Exchange. Could it be... those weren't just rumors?"

"Rumors? What rumors?"

…………

Soon, the beast tide in Lin City and the rumors from the Qianlin Exchange topped the trending lists.

Netizens quickly began digging into the teen's identity.

At this moment, outside the city gates of Lin City, Shen Han had no idea how many waves of beasts he had eliminated.

What was supposed to last a week now saw only a few scattered beasts approaching the city gates.

For the first time, the beast tide ended without a single casualty.

And it ended early!

People from the four major families rushed over, each wanting to recruit him as a family VIP.

But Shen Han simply shook his head and declined.

A'Chu was waiting at home for him to cook dinner; he needed to get back.

Shen Han walked out, pausing as he passed by his father, Shen Wen.

Shen Wen's heart leaped with joy, and he hurriedly said to the masked teen with respect, "I am Shen Wen, the head of the Shen family. Would you be willing to become the chief advisor of the Shen family?"

"The Shen family will spare no resources to support you."

Shen Wen thought the teen had paused because he was interested in the Shen family, but instead, he heard this:

"Do you regret it?"

Shen Wen was stunned.

"What?" he asked instinctively.

The only response was the cold back of the teen as he walked away.

Shen Shu approached from the side, frowning as he looked at the teen's retreating figure, finding it increasingly familiar.

He felt... this mysterious teen resembled Ninth Younger Brother.

But could it be possible?

"Father," Shen Shu frowned deeply, "What did he say?"

Shen Wen shook his head, "Nothing."

"Alright, the beast tide here is over. You should return to the Bureau of Evil Suppression, right?"

Shen Shu nodded and took two steps forward, hesitated for a moment, then turned back to Shen Wen.

"Father, do you still remember Ninth Younger Brother?"

Shen Wen's expression changed, "Why are you asking this? Who told you something?"

"No one." Shen Shu explained, "I was just curious why you never let us play with Ninth Younger Brother."

"Does he... really have autism?"

"Nonsense!" Shen Wen scolded sharply, "I don't care who told you this, go back to your Bureau of Evil Suppression now!"

"You are not to ask about him again."

Shen Wen flicked his sleeve and left with a dark expression.

Shen Shu watched his father's retreating figure, his expression gradually becoming serious.

Father... what exactly are you hiding?

---

Shen Wen hurried back to the Shen family residence.

He made his way to the study, closed the door tightly, and retrieved a card from a heavily encrypted safe.

The card bore eight characters: "A demon has appeared, causing widespread suffering."

These were the eight-character remarks left by the man holding the prophetic card when he saw Shen Han at the age of five.

Shen Han... his ninth son, was a demon.

Shen Wen could not forget the words of the man known as the Prophet.

"If he lives, the Shen family will surely be destroyed, leaving no descendants."

But he was his own flesh and blood, and he couldn't bring himself to take action. Instead, he kept the other children away from Shen Han and tried to ignore Shen Han's existence.

He deceived himself that Shen Han was already dead.

Over time, he truly forgot about Shen Han's existence.

Until today, when Shen Shu suddenly brought it up, Shen Wen realized that Shen Han was still alive, and...

He suddenly remembered the mysterious young man's question from earlier.

"Do you regret it?"

Shen Wen's eyes widened in shock.

Could it be...

A sense of fear began to rise within him.

In the small estate, Song Chuyi also saw the video trending on the hot search list.

It had to be said, the videographer was skilled, capturing the stark contrast between Shen Han's casual wave and the mountain of beast corpses, creating a strong sense of tension and conflict.

Hmm... it felt like showing off!

"A'Chu."

Shen Han's voice came from the doorway, and Song Chuyi quickly waved him over.

"Come here fast."

Shen Han took quick strides to his side.

Song Chuyi lifted the mask from his face and kissed him on the lips.

"A'Han, you're amazing!"

Shen Han pressed his lips together, "Is this a reward for being a good boy?"

"Of course!" Song Chuyi smiled brightly, "It's a reward just for you."

Shen Han's throat moved, his gaze fixed on Song Chuyi's slightly moist, rosy lips.

Not enough, still not enough.

Desire was growing.

He wanted more rewards, more proof that A'Chu belonged to him.
