Strange Cards

Chapter 46 Successful Contract

The two clowns only occupied about one-fifth of the scroll. After putting the scroll away, Yu Yan sat down cross-legged and placed it where her hands were folded.

"Shiyu, what's wrong with this girl?"

Rather, Shigure himself had no idea and could only relay Ace of Spades' words verbatim.

"This girl is probably negotiating with those two monsters. I hope she succeeds."

"If successful, those two ghosts will truly be at Yu Yan's disposal. Even if unsuccessful, she can still forcibly control those two ghosts, but there will be a risk of backlash."

"Then let the four of us stay here and keep watch."

Shigure took out his Evolver and drew the Hunter Card and the Mysterious Card. The other three also withdrew from battle mode upon seeing this.

"I checked the time, it's almost two o'clock. You three can find a place to lie down and sleep. I'll stay and watch over this girl."

"If this girl has any chance of failing, I will wake up the three of you and then kill those two monsters completely."

"At worst, we can find a few more ghost contracts for this girl, but we absolutely cannot let these two ghosts become an unstable bomb, which could be fatal at a crucial moment."

After finding a bench near the amusement park, the group lay down and fell asleep. Qi Wu sat in front of Yu Yan, silently protecting her.

Meanwhile, at the Hunter Base, Bai Yu, sporting a snow-white jellyfish-like hairstyle and wearing a light pink dress, was still sitting on the balcony, staring intently in the direction where Shi Yu and the others had left.

At this moment, Liu An, wearing a purple nightgown and holding a cup of coffee, sat down next to Bai Yu and gently placed the coffee on the table.

"Aren't you going to sleep yet, Little White Rain?"

Bai Yu shook her head, and the cat ears on her head twitched along with it.

"Alright then, Aunt Liu hasn't seen the stars in a long time either, so I'll watch them with you tonight."

After adjusting her chair to a reclining position, Liu An lay down and counted the stars. However, even after drinking a cup of coffee, Liu An couldn't hold on any longer and eventually closed her eyes.

Fortunately, the hunters had taken good precautions against insects and ants; there were no traces of mosquitoes within a few kilometers of the hunters' base.

Otherwise, Liu An's large expanse of exposed white skin would be covered in mosquito bites.

Fortunately, it's a summer night, so it won't be cold even if I sleep outside.

Bai Yu sat there, glancing at the stars in the sky and then at the intersection, as if the roar of a car engine would start at any moment.

"Meow........."

............

Around six o'clock in the morning, Shi Yu and the others woke up one after another, and after a few minutes, Yu Yan also woke up.

However, Yu Yan was all smiles now, and didn't look like she hadn't reached an agreement with the two terrified clowns at all.

"Hey hey hey! I've finally got the ability to stand on my own!"

Shi Yu and the others pointed at Qi Wudao, who had turned into a panda, with a hint of annoyance.

"Let's get going, or the boss will turn into a zombie if he stays any longer."

"Our leader protected you for the entire night. If it weren't for him, we probably would have ended up like this too."

At this moment, Qi Wu coughed weakly twice, and just as he was about to light a cigarette, the cigarette fell to the ground with his trembling hand.

Qi Wu shakily squatted down, put the cigarette back into the cigarette case, and said.

"Lao Tzu finally understands why life has fallen into slumber."

"Because not sleeping can really lead to sudden death."

"Quick! Help me into the car, I want to get a good night's sleep."

After everyone helped Qi Wu into the car, Li Shun got into the driver's seat, started the engine, and drove the car steadily back to the Hunter's Base.

........

"It's dawn... Waaah."

"Liar! Big liar! Shigure is a complete liar!"

"You promised to come back, and it's already dawn!!!"

Bai Yu's cat-like mind grew increasingly aggrieved, and in the end, she even cried.

But when Bai Yu saw the car driving back in the distance, she wiped away her tears and rushed downstairs in small steps.

After parking the car, Li Shun and Da Niu helped Qi Wu back to his room. Yu Yan also got out of the car, excitedly put the reel on her body, and skipped and hopped towards the kitchen.

Shi Yu had just gotten off the bus, and before her eyes had even adjusted to the morning sunlight, she saw a white figure crash into her.

The white figure knocked Shiyu away, and before Shiyu could react, she was slammed against the wall by the white figure.

"Hiss hiss..."

Shi Yu gasped, and just as she was about to teach Bai Liang a lesson, she noticed the deep dark circles around Bai Yu's beautiful blue eyes.

After holding Shiyu, Baiyu slowly fell asleep, and Shiyu had no choice but to pick her up.

At this moment, Liu An, wearing a purple nightgown, came downstairs and gently patted Shi Yu's shoulder.

"Ah~~~ Remember to come back earlier next time."

Liu An rubbed his eyes, stretched, and yawned widely.

"Your catgirl didn't wait for you to come back; she sat on the balcony all night watching over you."

"Okay, I'm not talking to you anymore. I need to go back and take a nap."

Shi Yu looked at the girl in his arms who was snoring softly, shook his head helplessly, and then tapped Bai Yu's smooth forehead twice.

Bai Yu's delicate eyebrows instantly furrowed into a knot, and she let out a dissatisfied hum.

Shi Yu gently smoothed Bai Yu's furrowed brows with her hand, then picked Bai Yu up and gently walked towards the room.

As Shiyu walked along, a holographic projection suddenly lit up on the wall of the corridor.

The person who came was Guan Yun. Guan Yun was about to say something when he saw Bai Yu sleeping soundly in Shi Yu's arms, so he wisely shut his mouth.

"Go back to your room first, I'll turn on the holographic projection and talk to you there."

"The project is starting to make progress, get ready."

Shi Yu nodded gently, then slowly walked back to her room.

As soon as Shi Yu sat down on the sofa, countless holographic projections lit up on the coffee table.

Just as Shi Yu was about to put Bai Yu on the sofa to sleep, Bai Yu suddenly groaned a few times and clung tightly to Shi Yu's waist, refusing to let go.

Having no other choice, Shi Yu had Bai Yu rest her head on his lap before he began to use the holographic projection.

At that moment, Guan Yun's holographic projection also appeared beside him, holding a cup of coffee in his hand.

Shi Yu looked at Guan Yun's rather heavy dark circles under his eyes and smiled as she spoke.

"Dr. Guan Yun, how come you have panda eyes too?"

"What's wrong? Didn't you sleep last night?"
