Strange Cards

Chapter 234 The Paradise Project

The rain fell, but it did not dispel the illusion of invisibility.

Shiyu picked up the glittering silver jar and looked at it with its ends open, puzzled.

"What the hell is this thing?"

"Who keeps their drinks open at both ends?"

Just as Shigure was about to figure out what was going on, the small jar, whose ends had already been opened, suddenly released a plume of pink smoke that shot straight toward Shigure.

After realizing something was wrong, Shigure instantly used a black hole to switch his position. Then, Shigure discovered that the pink smoke seemed to have found its target and was flying straight towards Shigure.

At that moment, Shigure analyzed the pinkish substance through his glasses and realized that it was not normal smoke at all, but rather composed of countless nanobots.

Upon learning that the smoke was composed of nanobots, a King of Spades suddenly appeared in Shigure's hand, gleaming with gold. The King of Spades then merged into Shigure's right arm, instantly transforming his entire right hand into the giant horn of the Golden Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle.

Golden lightning crackled and coiled around the unicorn, and Shigure then unleashed a powerful punch, instantly shattering the pink nanobot.

After dealing with the robots, Shigure suddenly found himself surrounded by a large group of pink robots behind him, and just then, Yanyun's voice rang out.

"Sir, please do not inhale these nanobots."

"I discovered that these robots are equipped with special micro-terminals. If you accidentally inhale one of these robots, they could potentially upload your consciousness directly to somewhere through those terminals, making you their prey."

Upon hearing Yanyun's words, two golden, transparent wings instantly unfurled from Shiyu's back, and then Asura Karmic Fire began to burn fiercely from Shiyu's body.

"Then let's try this trick!"

Shi Yu unleashed a powerful punch, and terrifying golden lightning mixed with blood-red Asura karmic fire instantly blasted the entire swarm of robots to pieces.

A crackling sound rang out, and Shigure then took out a red mask with an air filtration system and put it on her face.

"Yanyun, pass this information on to everyone."

"Everyone should be carrying masks or face shields to warn them about these robots."

"Yes."

……

Inside the top floor of Tianhua Group's headquarters.

A man sat behind a huge desk, quietly admiring a robot placed among a pile of containers.

The robot's head was opened, revealing not a complex mechanical structure, but a brain that resembled aged mutton fat.

"How's the data entry going?"

A person dressed in mecha walked in from outside, holding a weapon in his hand.

"The vast majority of people in this country have inhaled nanobots, and all the data has been uploaded to the park."

"And thousands of children, youths, and teenagers were also captured to perform data processing functions for the celestial computer."

"Is her brain okay?"

"The data is stable as before, there are no problems."

"The structure of Paradise World is completely stable; it's just that the people whose consciousness was uploaded to Paradise World haven't woken up yet. They're still in a comatose standby state."

"Step down."

"After tomorrow, I will spread nanobots all over the world. I want to bring the consciousness of everyone in the world into the Paradise World."

"I want her to live in that truly beautiful world."

"Yes."

The mech then exited the top-floor office, and after the mech left, the man opened a drawer in the office and took out a belt that was stored inside.

If Shigure were here, he would definitely recognize the belt, because it was exactly the same as the Alpha belt that Guan Yun had once given him.

But the belt changed from a card swipe style to a card insert style. The man then picked up the card placed aside and looked at the pattern printed on it.

"If God created this world in six days..."

"Then I'll destroy it in sixty minutes and use that to create a new paradise."

The man looked at the picture on the card and murmured the words printed on it.

"Eden..."

……

After delivering the message, Shigure took all the breathing barriers from the hunters to prevent themselves from being invaded by the pink robots.

Shigure then discovered that apart from the Hunter's special terminal communication, all other electronic devices were no longer working.

Shiyu even saw the cell tower and restarted it, but when she squatted down under the cell tower, she found that her phone had no signal.

"What the hell? The communications have been cut off?"

Shi Yu realized something was wrong and was about to contact the National Public Security Bureau by phone when a charming voice rang out.

"Yo yo yo".

"Symanford, didn't you say that everyone in this area had already uploaded their information to Paradise World? How come there's still one who slipped through the net?"

"Rennie, keep your voice down!"

The man called Seamanford stepped forward, pointing a strangely shaped pistol at Shigure.

"Remove the mask, then inhale the nanobots yourself, and voluntarily enter the Paradise World."

"Otherwise, you would also enter the Paradise World, but it wouldn't be as dignified."

As the man spoke, he took out a card, which Shiyu immediately recognized as a trick card.

But this strange card was different from the other strange cards that Shigure had seen. The picture on it was a guy wearing a yellow-green locust mecha.

The man inserted the card into the gun, then slammed the trigger, firing a bullet.

The bullet flew out but did not hit Shigure. Instead, it circled in the air a few times before striking the man and transforming into a yellow-green locust mech suit that matched the pattern on it.

Simmanford stretched his neck slightly and then walked towards Shigure.

"Ignorant of one's own limitations."

Shigure raised his hand and used his reconstruction ability to create the Red Heart Shadow Demon Mantis. After arming it, Shigure's forearms were transformed into the shape of a mantis.

Shigure's three pairs of transparent little wings flapped rapidly, and Simmanford was almost instantly cut into countless pieces by Shigure.

Shi Yu looked at the man who had been cut into pieces and noticed that no blood was flowing from his body. Instead, the word "out" appeared, and then he turned into a data-like thing and disappeared.

Shigure looked at Renee standing to the side, who was holding a pistol that looked exactly like the one used by Simonford, except that the muzzle had been replaced with a short blade.

Just as Renee was about to transform with the card, Shigure activated the Shadow Mantis's ability and killed Renee with a single strike.

Then the word "out" appeared on Renee's body, and she disappeared from Shigure's sight.
