Strange Cards

Chapter 500 A Tomorrow Without Tears

Shi Yu quietly watched the dashing Qi Nannan and Liu Yu below, when at that moment a hollow voice rang out.

Are you relieved now?

"I'm relieved."

"They're doing well, so I don't have much to worry about anymore."

"Having lived so many more years, it's time for me to leave."

As Shi Yu spoke, she placed her hand on the railing. Suddenly, a crack appeared in the air, and a knife radiating a black and red aura crashed into the ground in front of Liu Yu.

A silver dollar flew into Qi Nannan's hand along with a letter, while Liu Yu looked at the long sword with the Nine Demon Asuras of Hellface tattooed on its scabbard, grabbed the hilt, and pushed the blade out.

Looking at the blade, which resembled a red crystal, Liu Yu's eyes reddened again.

"This is...."

"Brother Shigure's knife..."

Qi Nannan looked at the silver coin in her hand, and then saw the words written on the letter in her hand.

"The knife was given to Xiao Jiu by me, and the silver dollars were entrusted to me by Gu Nian to be given to you."

"Gentlemen, it's as if we're meeting in person."

The two opened the envelope and found a thick sheet of paper inside.

Looking at the familiar handwriting, both of them forced back their tears and managed not to cry.

"Little Seven, Little Nine."

By the time this letter reaches you, everything should be over.

I sent this letter to the future using my own power before the final battle, and it ended up in your hands.

There's no need to come looking for me anymore; I've already gone to find everyone.

I know what you've done, and I'm proud of you.

When I first started writing, I felt like I had given all the instructions, but as soon as I put pen to paper, I realized that there were still so many things I hadn't finished giving instructions.

But it's all over now; the calamities of the old era have come to an end for us, the people of the old era.

The new world is yours.

I hope you will find your true happiness in the days to come.

Don't worry about us, the future belongs to you.

I went against my own sense of justice, but you led me back to the right path.

From the first time I used the Mysterious Cards, from the first time I met everyone, my heart, which had been adrift in this ephemeral world but had died, gradually began to revive.

But I don't know whose death it started with. Was it my sister's? Or Bai Yu's? Or Miao Miao's? I don't know, I never knew.

I don't know whose death froze my once passionate heart once more, until I died.

However, seeing you all living happily in this bright future, although my dead heart did not come back to life, it miraculously beat a little.

The limitations of fate may last forever, but the spirit of perseverance is never lacking.

Your enlightenment has already paved a bright path in that dark wilderness, leading you from a dark future to a bright one.

Grip your weapons tightly, for these are the blades of our victory.

Nan Nan, Xiao Yu, you don't need to worry about it.

I have lived a happy and meaningful life; the future belongs to you.

I simply returned to where I should have been long ago.

Everything has simply returned to its original state; there's no need to worry about it.

Fate has taken away from me but also given me many things. The scars of memories have scabbed over with time. I am no longer in pain, nor do I regret anything.

Across the river of time, all that remains that finally reaches me is longing.

I once had a group of friends who shared similar interests but didn't get along with me much.

I have seen many bubbles in this world, and I have also seen a different kind of bubble.

A heavy, blood-red bubble.

However, that heavy, blood-red bubble has burst, and the future within that bubble will never happen again.

The longer you live, the more you lose, just like me.

In the end, I was all alone.

I entrust all my belongings to you; the future of this world is now in your hands.

There's no need to defend me. What's done is done. No matter how great my achievements were, the mistakes I made clearly happened in the past.

I am a sinner, and sinners should have an end befitting their sinfulness.

Seeing that you are all doing so well puts my mind at ease. I feel very reassured entrusting the future of this world to you.

As for me...

After everything was done, I was finally qualified to use my old name again.

I'll go ahead and find everyone.

I've never liked saying goodbye, because once we say goodbye, we often never see each other again.

but....

Goodbye, this really is the last time we'll see each other.

I used to think of you as children, as fledglings who were meant to stay under our protection.

But everything you have done has proven yourselves, and the will of the people will continue to be passed on through your hands.

And the tomorrow that everyone dreamed of, a tomorrow where there would be no more tears, has finally arrived.

Live well, you must live well.

It wasn't until I was on my deathbed that I understood why everyone told me to live well before they died.

It is only when a person is about to die that they realize how precious life is.

Please believe that we have always loved you.

I have always truly loved you all.

To a tomorrow where tears will no longer fall.

The two looked at the signature, and tears welled up in their eyes, which they couldn't hold back any longer, dripping down their cheeks and onto the ground.

The name at the end of the signature is not the former Jie, but the two characters Shiyu.

As Qi Nannan and Liu Yu looked at the letter sent from the past, tears involuntarily streamed down their faces and dripped onto the letter paper.

Shigure stood on the high-rise building, looking down at the two people reading the letter, and couldn't help but smile.

"it's all over."

"I can say that I have successfully completed my mission in this life."

"I'm off now!"

Shigure took out all the strange cards from his cloak, and after carefully examining the source of these calamities, he raised them high.

A gentle breeze blew by, and all the strange cards were lifted into the sky, slowly dissipating in the bright sunlight.

Shi Yu looked at the last card in her hand, smiled, and then said.

"Old friend, I really thank you for my journey through life."

"If it weren't for you, I would have died when I was eighteen."

"Let's meet again in our next life."

As Shigure spoke, he threw the Ace of Spades in his hand. The Ace of Spades, like all the other strange cards, flew into the sky and disappeared into the bright sunlight.

Shigure smiled as he looked at the group of people who appeared behind him, then wrapped his cloak tighter around himself and walked over.

"Everyone! Wait for me!"

From the moment Shigure walked past, Shigure and everyone else slowly transformed into tiny specks of light and flew towards the sky.

This time, however, the rain is real.

They vanished into this world.

(The End)
