Chapter 136: Chapter 135: Delivering a Little Underworld Shock to the Invaders

“Name.”

“Shen Sui.”

“How did you get in?”

“Playing cards.”

Shen Sui looked speechlessly at Ye Qing across from him and said, “I mean, do we really need to make this so official?”

He glanced around. It was his first time in the bureau, and it was quite a unique experience.

Ye Qing said, “Well, you knocked someone out and were seen by a helpful bystander trying to molest someone, so we’re just following procedure.”

Shen Sui rolled his eyes and said, “Can I say it was self-defense? And don’t frame me, okay, I was actually trying to save them at the time.”

After all, if he hadn’t saved them, he couldn’t have asked any questions.

“I don’t believe it,” Ye Qing said. “You, appearing near the Duel Training Hall at that time, was absolutely intentional.”

“So, what exactly happened?” Wang Ming, sitting on the side, handed Shen Sui a glass of water. “That woman should be one of the recent attackers, right? To be honest, what you did was too risky. I’ve already shown you the consequences of losing a duel, and yet you insisted on going there.”

Wang Ming was quite troubled.

When he heard from the officer protecting Shen Sui that he went to the Duel Training Hall, he had a bad feeling, but the result was far beyond his expectations.

It was true that Shen Sui was attacked.

But he sent the opponent to the ICU.

However, this did not make Wang Ming much happier.

From various pieces of evidence, it’s clear that the attacks on Life Card Masters in Modu involved multiple assailants, and catching Shi Ruoyi alone wouldn’t solve the case.

Shen Sui won once, but what about next time? He’s already on the Suffering Poetry Society’s list and will eventually become their target. Wang Ming doesn’t have much confidence in protecting Shen Sui with the current methods.

According to the accounts of those two officers, after Shen Sui and Shi Ruoyi entered that alley, they mysteriously disappeared. They seemed to vanish from this world. No matter how hard the officers searched, they couldn’t find any trace of them. This suggests that the Suffering Poetry Society has certainly mastered some Extraordinary Power, which also explains why the Celestial Eye System in Modu couldn’t locate them.

The agents of World No. 8 in the Exploration Bureau are looking for ways to break this power in World No. 8.

Although World No. 8 is banned by all countries, exploration isn’t confined only to Huaxia; other countries are involved too. Given the danger of World No. 8, all agents must perform Duel Device operations under multiple surveillance, which prevents any quick solution from being applied in reality since the country must assess World No. 8’s level of interference with reality.

However, with Shen Sui being targeted by the Suffering Poetry Society, it becomes very awkward for him.

Director Zhang ordered strict protection for Shen Sui. It’s not feasible to assign two bodyguards to him, using force on anyone who dares approach Shen Sui; that’s quite unreasonable.

It could also foster a distaste for the Exploration Bureau in Shen Sui, which isn’t good for the bureau.

Shen Sui naturally ignored Wang Ming’s headache. After explaining the events of the night to Ye Qing, he decided to leave on his own.

But Wang Ming couldn’t let Shen Sui act alone.

Otherwise, they might find Shen Sui near the Duel Training Hall again, but who knows if he’d still be alive by then.

For the first time in his life, Shen Sui enjoyed the treatment of a chauffeured car service.

He could see how much emphasis Wang Ming and the Exploration Bureau placed on him, and he could roughly guess why.

Since submitting those reports, Alice, or rather, Witch Hozerville, has shown considerable intelligence value. For the Exploration Bureau, urgently needing intelligence from World No. 1, Shen Sui is an excellent partner, and judging by Witch Hozerville’s performance, there’s little chance of things going south anytime soon.

Of course, if they knew that their supposedly invincible and powerful witch was just a novice five-tier mage, they wouldn’t know what kind of expression they should have.

Shen Sui returned to his dorm with ease.

From today’s confrontation, the Suffering Bodhisattva’s power shouldn’t be much stronger than the War God.

Although Shen Sui didn’t exactly know how strong the War God was, it got beaten to death by him with three punches.

Using Life Cards and Dueling Devices to exert power? It’s quite a novel idea.

Or perhaps… Shen Sui thought, this might be a limitation deliberately set by this world’s consciousness to protect the world’s safety. With more than thirty different Otherworlds connected to the real world, if the Extraordinary Powers weren’t restricted, reality would have turned into a scene of rampant chaos long ago.

Forcing the opponent’s power to remain confined to the Duel Device.

This way, the natives could at least have a certain chance to drive away the invaders through dueling.

It’s a rather clever tactic for the weaker beings.

Shen Sui quite liked this method. He could easily solve the opponent, and now he could also legitimately enjoy playing a game, which wasn’t a bad experience.

Moreover, as a hero repelling invaders, Shen Sui could brazenly use various Underworld chain tactics when facing these people, without anyone thinking of him as a nuisance; how great is that.

Thinking this way, Shen Sui suddenly realized he could actually be a part of the justice allies or something.

Just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly sensed an intimately connected presence approaching.

Shen Sui looked at the Dueling Device.

Though it hadn’t given any hint, Shen Sui knew very well that a certain someone had returned.

[You open your eyes, and night has fallen. Alice is in a sweet dream.]

[She’s quite fortunate, having successfully found the legendary Elf Crystal Dragon. But the Elf Maiden seems a bit aloof and doesn’t wish to have much contact with them.]

[However, Alice hasn’t given up. This Elf Maiden is one of the few links she has to the Elf Race. Oshana had told Alice that the Elf Forest is currently closed, and entering without permission from the Elf Race is prohibited.]

Alice, Anna, Hali, and Lingyi.

Shen Sui’s mind raced through the current composition of Alice’s group.

Alice and Anna, both from the countryside, hadn’t even seen a single Extraordinary above tier one before their village was destroyed.

Hali, a tier-five Magical Beast, is a dog.

Lingyi, although a dragon, is a visitor from the Otherworld.

Oh boy, this group, which is mostly native, has such a makeshift vibe to it. It always feels like the related agents of the Exploration Bureau understand the Dawn Continent better than they do.

With these thoughts, Shen Sui turned his gaze to Qishala.

[Qishala is curled around your neck, sleeping soundly.]
