Quick Travel: Card Destroyer

Chapter 399: Fragment: Dreams Missed for Five Hundred Years (XI)

Si Bai, Fu Qingyuan and Su Sheng never argue about the future development of the city, and this time is no exception.

"I understand your concerns," Si Bai retorted after hearing what Su Sheng said, "but in our expectation, Fairy Papyrus will become a very common plant. I am relieved that they rashly took the seeds out.

"As for the other issue you're worried about, I think it's time to explain it to you. Remember what we first talked about 20 years ago? About how to solve the problem of 'them' once and for all."

Su Sheng nodded: "You said there was a way."

Si Bai signaled to Fu Qingyuan, who skillfully attached a card to himself and placed the other into the slot on the side of the large screen.

A document began to scroll on the screen.

As Su Sheng watched, his gray-green eyes gradually widened.

What a crazy plan!

But in this way, the problem she is worried about can indeed be solved from the root.

So she stopped worrying and turned her attention to other issues, such as the recent cooperation with some settlements outside.

After 20 years of unremitting exploration, they found several settlements dominated by the same kind, and they were all willing to establish long-term cooperative relations with the city. In addition to cooperation, Su Sheng also wanted to collect information about local gods, and has made some achievements so far.

Based on the information provided by these settlements, she discovered that there is indeed a god in this world, named Yuedong. She has almost no actual combat ability, but has the power of "rebirth from the ashes", and people believe that she can make the dead reborn from the ashes.

However, this kind of supernatural power always has its price. Overwinter cannot directly interfere with reality, and the people who were blessed by Overwinter and reborn from the ashes eventually left and entered Overwinter's residence - the End of the Loop.

Su Sheng speculated that the "End of the Loop" should be a special space that not only provided a place for Yue Dong to stay, but also restricted her movements to a certain extent. In recent years, she has used her inherent abilities less and less because she has gradually become aware of the rules of the universe.

At this point, she suddenly thought that even if Si Bai was unwilling to promote the inkless pen, they might still have to use this tool on a large scale.

The vision that penetrated the future brought more and more frequent warnings. She couldn't see the distant scene clearly, but there was always an ominous premonition lingering in her heart, repeatedly reminding her that in the near future, the card city would face an unprecedented catastrophe.

She told Si Bai the warning she had received.

Si Bai and Fu Qingyuan were silent for a long time, and finally they could only try desperate measures and officially began to promote the inkless pen on a large scale in the city. In a short period of time, they could not see much abnormality, and more and more people were content with the status quo. Not everyone was willing to risk their lives to go out and hunt exotic beasts and obtain ink materials.

There were also people who tried to take the inkless pen out, but they soon discovered that only a part of humans could control the inkless pen, and the "other branch" generally could not even reach the basic level of creative ideas required to use the inkless pen.

In a sense, this incident further supports the "human superiority theory". There are more and more people who think that Card City is naturally noble, and they have more or less contempt for the outside world. The founders are reluctant to admit this, but they cannot deny that Card City is indeed ahead of everyone at present.

Some more years passed.

The offspring of the first generation nurtured in this mechanical hotbed have grown up healthily. The child of Ji Liangbo and Su Sheng has also grown from babbling to running around, and has his own name - Ji Liangjie.

She inherited both Ji Liangbo's comprehensive talents and some of Su Sheng's inherent abilities. Like her mother, she was extremely gifted, so she had to deviate from the unified curriculum for ordinary children and receive special training under the guidance of her two mothers.

Looking at her own children, Ji Liangbo suddenly realized that she could set up a special organization for people with extraordinary talents like herself and Liang Jie. The organization could train them to be nearly all-powerful soldiers without being out of touch with the city as a whole. In order to deal with the catastrophe that Su Sheng "saw", they needed to start cultivating high-level combat power or develop more large-scale, high-lethality weapons.

She did find several people with similar conditions from the intelligence network, and soon discovered that some others, although not as talented, also had their merits and were suitable for doing some matching work in the middle.

Everyone had no objection to the division of labor arranged by Ji Liangbo, but they were troubled by the naming of the two organizations. They had to ensure secrecy and reflect the nature of the dark organizations, but they couldn't be too dark, so that most people could accept their existence.

Fortunately, naming has never been the point, so let’s put it aside.

On the other hand, as the fairy papyrus, card system and even inkless pen flowed out, the card city began to be noticed by the outside world. Most settlements maintained a relatively friendly attitude and sent envoys to exchange and learn. Knowing that they only accept a part of humans, the envoys sent are also of the same kind. However, there are always some people who will not watch others become powerful, always want to get a piece of the pie themselves, and try to step on the card city to rise to power. These people are basically "another branch" - oh, now called alien species.

Su Sheng had been unhappy with them for a long time. It was already very infuriating that they had broken the stability of the human body and allowed a group of parasites to occupy the abdominal cavity for ten months. They actually claimed to be orthodox and denounced the card city as inferior creatures!

Without her having to ask, Ji Liangbo had already run out with her beloved bone spear and cut off the heads of those aliens one by one. She looked at the scene of blood gushing out and suddenly felt a little nauseous, but it was not because she was afraid of blood, but simply because she didn't want to see aliens again.

After returning home, she asked Su Sheng for advice: "Teacher, is there any way to kill the alien species without bleeding?"

Whenever she encountered a problem she couldn't solve, she would ask Su Sheng, and Su Sheng would always respond to her requests. So after a few days, Su Sheng taught her a special spell, which sounded like a short section from a folk song at first glance, but if you use the idea of ​​creation to carefully feel it, it is not difficult to find that this ballad has other effects. As long as she chooses a target and chants this spell in a prescribed tone, the target's body will completely turn into a special card with unique patterns that cannot be analyzed.

Ji Liangbo found a day to try it out and was very satisfied with the results.

"It's much cleaner this way," she said to Su Sheng with a smile, "otherwise it always looks like we're doing dirty work."

Su Shenggang saw Ji Liangjie fall asleep with his own eyes, and she was also smiling. When Ji Liangbo saw her expression, he knew that something good must have happened.

Sure enough, before she could wait for a few seconds, Su Sheng told her: "Qingyuan just told me that the 'Scavenger Woman' has completed the localization adjustment and will soon be able to eliminate all the alien species..."
