My Stubborn Soul Card Follower

Chapter 949 - 549: The City Blocked by the Extraordinary (4K)

The Life Card Masters from Huaxia were among the first to arrive.As soon as the plane landed, You Wenqi reported the incident of the attack in the air to the domestic authorities.

Although there were still three days left before the start of the Thor Cup preliminaries, it naturally wasn’t Shen Sui’s turn to act yet.

Even though he sensed a very unsettling atmosphere, Shen Sui couldn’t pinpoint the source, and thus had nothing to say.

This inexplicable feeling, which even Vivian couldn’t articulate, piqued Shen Sui’s curiosity even more.

That afternoon, snow began to fall in Valhalla City.

For Shen Sui, snow in March was a rare sight; he temporarily set aside his doubts and, with his entourage, strolled around to see if he could find the source of this strange feeling.

"You’ve led so many worlds, yet you can’t figure out the source?" Shen Sui asked Vivian beside him.

Vivian, linking arms with Shen Sui, breathed out misty air, pondered for a moment, and said, "It’s not that surprising, after all. Any world is extremely vast, and I can’t possibly understand every detail. However, a force that gives us such a strong premonition shouldn’t be ignored."

"Then there’s only one possibility," Qishala spoke up.

Vivian nodded: "Broken Realm."

Shen Sui was not surprised by this.

Broken Boundary Creatures are inherently bizarre, with limits to their powers being incredibly high, allowing for such force to exist.

By evening, the whole airport became bustling.

Shen Sui stood on a hilltop, watching planes land at the airport in very peculiar postures.

You Wenqi quickly got in touch with Shen Sui.

"I’m afraid I have to disrupt your vacation," You Wenqi said apologetically to Shen Sui.

Seeing You Wenqi’s anxious demeanor, Shen Sui knew that those airplanes he saw landing earlier must have had trouble.

"Almost every plane entering the skies above Valhalla City has been attacked by unknown men in black," You Wenqi said very seriously.

"No, to be precise, everyone entering or leaving Valhalla City and all means of transport are attacked," a man’s voice came from the doorway.

A familiar voice, though with rough Huaxia speech.

You Wenqi looked toward the newcomer and smiled: "You’re here so early."

The visitor was none other than Theis, the last Thor Cup’s champion.

Theis greeted everyone amiably, then continued, "Now, countries worldwide have sealed off this city; an unprecedented extraordinary intervention is occurring here."

"Only attacking people leaving and entering?" Shen Sui murmured.

Theis nodded: "Yes, once you’re here, there’s nothing much."

"Were you also attacked when you came?"

Theis shrugged: "Of course. And their primary targets are often Life Card Masters."

Life Card Masters are the only ones capable of threatening the extraordinary, and killing them to seize their Life Cards aids in constructing decks for forced duels.

But...

Shen Sui immediately became puzzled. If the attackers’ decks originated from slain Life Card Masters, then why was the deck used by the assailant You Wenqi killed so chaotic? Logically, if a whole deck was seized, it shouldn’t be disorganized.

"In that case, the Thor Cup should also be affected, right?" You Wenqi looked at Theis and asked.

Theis shook his head: "No, it will proceed as usual. This afternoon, the contestants have gradually arrived at Valhalla Palace."

You Wenqi frowned: "Weren’t they attacked?"

"They were, but like you, they escaped through forced duels."

Not long after announcing that Extraordinary Invasion was a factual event, Huaxia released the forced duel module. Given it’s currently the only means against the extraordinary, almost every Life Card Master will install this module.

However, the public version differs from the beta version installed on Shen Sui and You Wenqi, having some functions cut off, making the forced duels they initiate not applicable to fellow citizens in the real world.

"Did they all win?"

"At least on the surface, that’s the case." Theis stared at You Wenqi and slowly said, "But how much you believe is up to your own judgment."

You Wenqi’s brow furrowed: "You mean to say, among these contestants, there are Life Card Masters whose identities were replaced by attackers?"

There is indeed a time gap from losing a forced duel to returning to the real world; if the attackers are capable, they can completely replace the other person’s identity through substitution.

"In any event, you all need to be more cautious now," Theis advised.

Shen Sui asked, "So, did you come specifically to tell us this news?"

"That’s just one of the purposes," Theis said with a laugh, "mainly to arrange some training matches with you."

Before the main draw, the players’ matches aren’t fixed yet, but since there’s a while before the main draw, arranging some training matches to keep in touch with one’s skills is necessary.

You Wenqi and the others had no objections, and because the opponent was Theis, the training matches quickly filled up, with even Shen Sui managing to join a few rounds.

However, generally speaking, such public official training matches rarely go all out, since duels are also information warfare; no one wants to expose too much of their information, mainly maintaining touch and testing some small tricks.
