Chapter 71: The Self-Closed Teen's Human Form Card is Seducing the Master! (19)

Perhaps he was lucky.

Shen Han summoned the second card in Qian Lin.

Song Chuyi watched closely. It was a card exuding a sinister aura.

The entire card was black, with only the edges gilded in gold.

In the center was a closed eye, and when the eye opened, the card would instantly turn blood red, appearing terrifying and eerie.

Within the illusion, Song Chuyi couldn't determine what kind of card it was, but it was definitely not a good one.

The scene suddenly shifted.

Shen Han used that card to kill many people.

Members of the Shen family, people from Lin City, and even members of the Bureau of Evil Suppression.

He didn't distinguish right from wrong, good from evil, only focused on killing.

Blood soon stained the entire scene.

He killed not only humans but also evil beasts.

The evil beasts in Qian Lin were wiped out, leaving nothing behind.

In the final scene, Shen Han stood in mid-air, with what seemed to be invisible, massive black wings behind him.

He slowly raised his hand, his long, cold, white fingers gradually clenching into a fist.

Darkness surged, violently ejecting Song Chuyi from the illusion.

Startled, Song Chuyi's pupils shrank, and when he regained his senses, he was standing in the restroom.

Without a second thought, he rushed out.

Shen Han was in danger!

——

Inside the illusion, Shen Han slowly opened his fist, which had not yet fully clenched.

Someone was standing opposite him, though he hadn't noticed until now.

The man had white hair that reached his ankles and a pale face that seemed otherworldly.

He was the leader of the entire Bureau of Evil Suppression—Liao Wang.

Shen Han recognized him; it was the man who had come to the Shen family with a prophetic card, changing Shen Han's life forever.

Liao Wang looked at him, his voice weak, "You must have realized that this world is a giant lie."

Evil beasts, cards, humans... all were part of a grand deception.

Cards, something that should not have existed in this world, had silently entered the human realm one day.

The first person to summon a card discovered the evil beasts, killing them, revealing that beneath the surface of this seemingly peaceful world lay such grotesque and cruel creatures.

But how did the evil beasts come to be?

They should not have existed in this world, nor should they have been seen by humans.

It was because of the cards.

They were the byproducts brought by the cards.

With each card summoned, another evil beast would appear in the world.

The evil beasts could never be eradicated because people would always summon cards.

How foolish and greedy humans were, so much so that to increase their survival rate, they resorted to having more children to raise the chances of summoning cards.

More and more people were born, more came of age, and more summoned cards.

But there were also more evil beasts.

The evil beasts, which could only be killed by cards, forced humans to rely on their power.

The world gradually fractured, and humans became increasingly dependent on cards.

Cards became synonymous with human power.

"This world is a lie," Liao Wang repeated.

"It's not," Shen Han suddenly interjected, refuting his words.

Surprised, Liao Wang looked at Shen Han in astonishment.

Shen Han gazed at his open palm, a gentle smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"A'Chu is not."

His voice was tender.

"A'Chu will never be a lie."

Even if this world was a lie, his A'Chu was real.

As long as A'Chu was real, then this world was real.

Shen Han lowered his hand and looked up at Liao Wang opposite him.

"A'Chu doesn't like me killing."

"So I won't kill you."

Liao Wang was silent for a couple of seconds, "But you've killed many people."

He pointed to the sea of blood below, "Those are all people you've killed."

"It was your illusion that caused it," Shen Han's voice was cold, "You set me up."

"But you were the one who killed them," Liao Wang said, "I merely created this illusion to show you what your future could be."

"It's fake," Shen Han asserted, "There's no A'Chu in your illusion."

Liao Wang fell silent.

His illusion cards had never been wrong.

This was an SSR card, capable of drawing people into illusions.

It was more of a prophetic card, showing a person's life journey.

Yet Shen Han said there was no A'Chu.

Who was A'Chu?

"Is this your test?" Shen Han's voice rang in Liao Wang's ear.

"Did I pass?"

Coming back to his senses, Liao Wang nodded slightly.

"You passed."

"I'm glad you stopped in the end."

A smile tugged at Shen Han's lips, "A'Chu will be happy too."

Liao Wang: ...

"Did you know you were supposed to be the world-destroying overlord?"

"If you had just harbored that thought just now, the entire world would have been obliterated."

"I won't entertain that thought," Shen Han seemed somewhat pleased, "A'Chu is waiting for me outside, and I need to go home to cook for him. I won't entertain the thought of destroying the world."

Liao Wang: ...

"Do you know you're acting like someone obsessed with love?"

Shen Han raised an eyebrow slightly, quickly processing the term before laughing, "Hmm, I'm obsessed with love."

Liao Wang was left speechless again.

"Who is this A'Chu you speak of?"

Shen Han immediately became defensive, "You want to steal A'Chu from me?"

Before Liao Wang could react, Shen Han had him by the throat.

"Then you deserve to die."

Struggling, Liao Wang managed to speak, "I have no interest in him."

"Hmph," Shen Han released Liao Wang, "My A'Chu is so wonderful, how could you not be interested in him?"

"You are not allowed to appear before A'Chu."

With a wave of his hand, Shen Han dispersed the entire illusion.

The sound of hurried footsteps could be heard from outside.

"It's A'Chu," Shen Han's face lit up with joy, "I have to go."

As he turned to leave, he seemed to remember something and turned back to Liao Wang.

"Why don't you allow the Bureau of Evil Suppression to help suppress the evil beast tide?"

After a few coughs, Liao Wang replied weakly, "The evil beasts killed by cards aren't truly dead."

"They will revive after some time, using the power of the card that killed them."

"The level of power they return with matches that of the card that killed them."

"The cards held by people in the Bureau of Evil Suppression are very special. If those evil beasts were to revive with that special power, it would spell the end for humanity."

Liao Wang lowered his gaze, "I couldn't find a better way to prevent human extinction."

All he could do was buy time.

"Oh," Shen Han responded expressionlessly, turning around to walk outside.

The door opened, and light poured in from outside.

Liao Wang squinted as the light stung his eyes, and in a trance, he seemed to see a stunning young man bathed in light running towards Shen Han.

But soon, the door slammed shut with a bang, and the temple returned to its dimness.

Outside, Song Chuyi looked at Shen Han nervously.

"Han, are you alright? Are you hurt?"

His voice trembled with a hint of tears. "I was very worried about you."
