Card: My wife is a bit dull, but she leads thousands of dragons

My name is Luo Bai, and I’m the shop manager of Sanbai Chess and Card Room.

I grew up without a father or mother, and was brought up by an old man.

And a fat cat.

I have suffered from a strange disease since I was a child - congenital analgesia.

It's a very troublesome and torturous disease.

People’s fear of death is essentially a fear of pain.

When other children see a snake or a mad dog, they automatically step back and stay away from it.

Because they have been bitten by something before, or have bitten themselves, they are afraid of the pain of being bitten, so they will be afraid and resist.

But I won’t.

I've bitten myself countless times and felt nothing.

Naturally, I have no fear of these dangers, and even have a fatal curiosity about them.

What exactly is pain?

It's always played out like this on TV: after being stabbed by a knife, the characters scream in pain.

Their facial expressions fully matched my perception of pain.

This must hurt, I thought to myself.

That day, I was only seven years old. I walked into the kitchen and picked up a kitchen knife.

He gently lifted up her clothes and used a kitchen knife to cut lightly from her chest to her belly button, leaving a bloody mark.

But I still don't feel anything.

There is absolutely no urge to scream like on TV.

I think it might be because the stab was not deep enough.

I stopped slashing and used the tip of the knife to stab into my stomach bit by bit.

When I regained consciousness, I was lying on a familiar hospital bed, smelling the familiar smell of disinfectant.

Sanbai chess and card room is the place I am most familiar with, and the second is the hospital.

I can’t remember how many times I’ve been to the hospital.

But this time it was a serious one. The old man scolded me for the whole afternoon.

I actually knew it was wrong.

Like other children, I realized my mistake and obediently stretched out my hands, ready to be hit.

But the old man never hits my hand.

Because it's useless to fight.

Other children are afraid of being hit on the hands and fear the pain, so they will instinctively avoid it next time.

But I can't.

The old man always said that I was a troublesome child. At the age of three, I hit the ground with my head. At the age of four, I liked to bang my head against the wall. At the age of five, I picked up the hot pot lid with my bare hands. At the age of six, I kept company with snakes.

At the age of seven, he became even more outgoing and started stabbing himself with a knife.

Sometimes I also feel that I deserve to be abandoned. Which couple can withstand what I have done?

Fortunately, I got addicted to Yu-Gi-Oh at the age of eight and became a much better behaved kid.

This is a very playable game with so many deck building options. It’s a new world for me.

My thoughts gradually evolved from "What exactly is pain?" to "I want to build an invincible deck!"

Repeated defeats and battles.

Highly motivated.

Because I found out that I couldn't beat the fat cat at home.

Can this be tolerated?

Because of the duel, I slowly became like a normal kid.

I am no longer so lonely and have made some friends who play cards with me, although their methods are very cruel.

But it was still a happy time.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. When I was ten years old, the old man became seriously ill and was hospitalized.

The old man coughed violently and often held his chest, saying that he felt chest tightness and pain and had difficulty breathing.

The doctor said it was coronary heart disease and the blood vessels in the heart were blocked. He needed a heart bypass surgery, otherwise his life would be in danger at any time.

The surgery costs 150,000 yuan, which is undoubtedly an astronomical figure for a chess and card room.

We have no relatives.

No one can lend us money.

Most of my savings were spent on my illness.

Now my old man is sick and I can’t afford the money.

I panicked and didn't know what to do.

The old man refused to have the operation and walked away on his own. There was no pain on his face, but rather a sense of relief.

He left me a phone number and told me to call it when I was in trouble and claim to be a kid from the Sanbai chess and card room. The other party would understand him.

But what I want is not a phone number...

Birth, aging, sickness and death, the old man can’t hold on any longer.

My only relative is gone.

The chess and card room suddenly became deserted, with only Teacher Tony and I left.

The old man who watched anime all day long is gone.

For the first time, I felt what real pain was, the dull pain in my heart and the difficulty in breathing.

It's very uncomfortable and a very bad feeling.

Life had no meaning anymore, so I walked into the kitchen again and picked up the kitchen knife.

Teacher Tony jumped onto the stage, and with some strength he slapped the kitchen knife away with one paw, and blew some air at me.

I immediately felt soft-hearted.

What would happen to Teacher Tony if I wasn't there? It's so fat, it would be bad if it got caught.

Life, you have to grit your teeth and go on.

I dialed the number the old man left, and the person who answered the phone sounded like an aunt.

But the old man didn't say who she was, and I didn't know how to address her. I just said in a crying voice: "I am the child of Sanbai Chess and Card Room. The old man is gone..."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, and the voice was a little hoarse: "I understand."

After saying that, she hung up the phone.

From that day on, I received a sum of money every month. The amount varied, sometimes one or two thousand, sometimes three or four thousand. The amount would be more in the months when I had to pay tuition.

With the income from school, social assistance and the chess and card room, the money is enough.

But the hooligans around here are very annoying. They know there are no adults at home, so they come over from time to time to harass us and ask for money. If we don’t give them money, they will cause trouble.

A few thugs with dyed yellow hair, smoking cigarettes, skillfully pried open the rolling door of the chess and card room.

One thug kicked over the sign at the door, another swept the cards on the table to the ground and stomped on them. Another thug took an iron rod and smashed the glass counter repeatedly, making a harsh sound.

Another one grabbed my collar, searched my pocket for money, and threatened me not to call the police.

They said that if I dared to call the police, they would beat me to death when they came out after the arrest.

No one can help me.

The love of society is limited.

I could only do what they said. I thought paying some money would make things go away.

But I was too naive. They charged a few hundred or tens of dollars at the beginning, but later they asked for a huge amount, often thousands.

"That's just this little money? Who are you going to give it to?" The yellow-haired thug snatched the money I had saved, put it in his pocket without even counting it, and spat with disdain.

He grabbed my treasured deck, expertly cut open the box, and pulled out a few flash cards.

"Hey, it's a flash card? How much is it worth?"

As he said this, he crumpled up the cards and threw them into the trash can in the corner like garbage.

"What are you playing with, little brat? Hurry up and take out your money to honor your grandfathers!"

The other thugs burst into laughter and imitated Huangmao's actions, kicking the scattered cards on the ground like a ball.

"Grandpa..." I lost control of my emotions when I heard these two words.

I rushed into the kitchen and picked up the knife again, but this time I didn't stab myself.

I'm going to fight them!

But when I returned to the hall, a strange scene appeared before my eyes.

The arrogance of the yellow-haired gangsters disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by endless fear.

Their eyes widened, their breathing became rapid, and they pointed behind me and shouted incoherently: "Evil...demon!"

"There...there's a ghost!"

"No...don't kill me..."

Their faces were pale and their bodies were trembling. They crawled out of the chess and card room like crazy, not even bothering to pick up the money that fell on the ground.

Later I heard that this group of hooligans were either crazy, stupid, or some even became mentally ill and committed suicide by jumping off a building.

The police simply took a statement from us and the matter was dropped.

No one would suspect a ten-year-old kid and a big fat cat.

From that day on, no one dared to cause trouble in the chess and card room anymore. From that day on, Teacher Tony also became lifeless, lazy and didn't want to exercise.

After many hurdles and setbacks, I finally lived to the age of eighteen, became an adult, and went to college.

In these eight years, the aunt who sponsored me never contacted me and never told me who she was. However, sometimes I could hear the voice of another girl on the phone. She should have her own family and children.

"Does she love me?"

I often think of what the old man said and talk to myself.

The old man always told me while watching the anime: "Dueling to save the world is too tiring."

"If you really want to pick up the duel disk in the future."

"I hope you do it for yourself, for the people you love and the people who love you."

But I still don’t understand what it means to be someone who loves me. Is it that aunt?

Does Teacher Tony count?

I still want a beautiful girl. After all, I have another great dream——

Have a daughter and teach her to play cards!

...

"If you don't feel pain, someone else will!"

Yilan's voice echoed in his ears, carrying a power that pierced his soul.

Luo Bai's heart suddenly shrank, as if it was tightly grasped by an invisible hand. His hand trembled slightly, and his fingertips touched the edge of his trouser pocket.

The ring felt heavy in my pocket, as if it had its own weight.

He closed his eyes, trying to calm his inner turmoil.

I slowly reached my fingers into my pocket and felt the warmth of the ring, as well as some wetness, which was the sweat from my palms.

"I..."

He wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something. Every word seemed to be stuck deep in his throat, difficult to spit out.

in this regard.

He was a child with low self-esteem and never opened his heart to anyone.

"Time's up." Tian Zhiyue declared coldly.

Luo Bai and Yi Lan were both startled and gasped for breath.

According to the rules mentioned before, if the negotiation fails within five minutes, Tian Zhiyue will randomly choose a winner.

She was suspended in mid-air, her eyes moving back and forth between the two of them.

"Lord Hades..."

"Why..."

Tian Zhiyue murmured softly. She just received an order from the God of the Underworld himself, and she didn't understand it.

The God of the Underworld would not interfere with [judgments] and [rules] before. All matters in the underworld were handled by the two messengers on the left and right.

But in the case of this couple, He actually interfered with the decision twice.

Tian Zhiyue put away his speculation, his eyes turned cold, and he waved the staff in his hand and issued a declaration: "【Judgment——】."

Luo Bai and Yi Lan looked at each other, then lowered their heads, waiting for a name.

But the words echoing in the sky are.

“[Ruling——].”

“【Fusion】.”

"Ah?" Luo Bai and Yi Lan were both stunned.

“Fusion…Fusion?!”

The two people, who were used to all kinds of big scenes, were inexplicably panicked at this moment.

"This fusion..."

"Is it...could it be..."

Luo Bai and Yi Lan opened their eyes wide, and their bodies began to move closer to each other uncontrollably. A strange suction force pulled them together.

The power is extremely overbearing, just like an ancient emperor granting a marriage.

"Wait...wait a moment..."

The moment their skin touched, they both felt a tingling electric current spread throughout their bodies, and an indescribable desire spread in each other's eyes.

Luo Bai's face turned red and his heart beat like a drum. Yi Lan's eyelashes trembled and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.

Their breathing intertwined, their body temperature was transmitted through their clothes, and a strange feeling spread between them.

Yilan didn't dare to look directly at him and closed her eyes involuntarily.

This action is like breaking a hole in a dam.

Luo Bai took a deep breath, unable to suppress the impulse in his heart any longer. He slowly lowered his head, put his arms around her neck, and kissed her gently.

Their hands became restless, and instinct and desire completely controlled their bodies.

Hades closed his eyes slightly.

Night falls.

A silence.

It's like, turn off the lights.
