Chapter 890 - 524: The Opponent Is Dead? Then Duel the Killer

The streets of Modu appeared as usual, showing no signs of the chaos caused by the Extraordinary Invasion.However, the hurried passersby and the guards standing at every intersection made it clear to Shen Sui that the current world was completely different from the peaceful world of the past years.

Although the Exploration Bureau still did its best to suppress all extraordinary disasters away from the public’s view.

Yet, in this era, the spread of information through the internet could amplify any incident happening at any location in everyone’s eyes.

Of course, things have improved a lot compared to the beginning. Although many people are still very afraid, they have been forced to accept the facts.

In the eyes of some extremists, the Extraordinary Invasion no longer exists. This world inherently contains Extraordinary; deaths and injuries are merely normal fatalities.

Bu Pei’s car steadily drove into the Exploration Bureau.

The Exploration Bureau was exceptionally quiet at the moment, as most of the personnel had been dispatched for field duties.

The remaining duty officers looked at Bu Pei with somewhat unpleasant expressions.

Shen Sui felt the atmosphere here was a bit strange.

"Shen Sui." Just as Shen Sui was contemplating how to break this awkward silence, Wang Ming’s voice came from not far away.

He leaned against the office door, gesturing to Shen Sui, "Here."

Wang Ming’s office was extremely messy, with various documents and ceramic shards piled on the floor, indicating that he had cleared the desk more than once in recent days.

When Bu Pei came in following Shen Sui, Wang Ming’s eyes turned somewhat peculiar as well.

"Did something happen?" Shen Sui finally asked, "Those people outside look at Bu Pei with strange eyes too."

Bu Pei seemed to have guessed something, standing behind Shen Sui, somewhat flustered, entirely lacking the previous confidence of a wealthy heir.

Wang Ming took a deep look at Bu Pei, eventually sighed heavily, and slumped into a chair, rubbing his temples wearily, "It’s not really his fault. After all, at the beginning of the year, he had already reported all his Life Card collections to the Exploration Bureau. It was our lack of protection that gave the Extraordinary an opportunity."

From Wang Ming’s words, Shen Sui roughly understood the cause and effect of the whole incident.

Bu Pei’s Life Card collection was enormous. To store these Life Cards collected from around the world, Bu Pei had several houses for storing them.

Among them, the villa with the least number of Life Cards was near Shen Sui’s new home, and it exclusively stored Forbidden Cards.

The collection point that the Extraordinary ransacked was one of Bu Pei’s Life Card storage locations, where all the Life Cards were impulsively purchased from around the world, serving as a sorting transit point.

These Life Cards had not been sorted by Bu Pei and his card collection team. They were all piled up in that house and, after being assessed by Bu Pei’s professional team for strength and rarity, would be protected using different packaging based on the collection grade and then dispatched to various collection points.

Shen Sui knew that Bu Pei was a Life Card collector, but he didn’t expect this guy’s collection to be so large in scale and extensive in scope.

This collection point was recently looted by a group of mysterious Extraordinary, and all the Life Cards inside were stolen.

This incident directly led to a large number of Extraordinary in Modu possessing complete card decks, making it much more difficult for the Exploration Bureau to combat them.

Unlike those Extraordinary who invaded using the bodies of the original Life Card Masters, this group invading Modu was almost exclusively corporeal. Their strength was stronger, but also, without the unfortunate Life Card Masters’ initial card decks, they would be directly eliminated once they encountered a Life Card Master capable of initiating a mandatory duel.

However, with Bu Pei’s collection being robbed, these Extraordinary obtained the decks needed for Life Card Duels.

"Even if they have decks, wouldn’t they still be clueless about Life Card Duels?" Shen Sui asked in confusion.

Wang Ming smiled bitterly, "Their Parasite Beasts can acquire the experiences and knowledge of their hosts. These guys, by ambushing and killing a large number of Life Card Masters, have already gained the skills and experience of dueling. You could say that now these individuals are all veterans of duels, and the Exploration Bureau has sacrificed many agents for this."

This is why the personnel at the Modu Exploration Bureau had such strange expressions when they saw Bu Pei.

But as previously mentioned, Bu Pei had reported according to regulations, so this outcome can’t be entirely blamed on him.

One can’t just say that Bu Pei’s Life Card collection is too extensive, right? But during the time he was collecting Life Cards, these items were more regarded as toys rather than important strategic weapons.

But if we were to say it’s entirely the Exploration Bureau’s problem, that would be unfair. After all, the Exploration Bureau did perform its duties and provided strict protection over those Life Card collection points.

It’s just that the abilities used by the invading Extraordinary this time were too strange.

Parasite Beast control, internal breakthrough; it was completely indefensible. Given the circumstances at the time, even if the entire Modu Exploration Bureau’s security forces were concentrated there, the result might not have changed.
