Chapter 72
Chapter 72: Demon Card – Banshee
“Huhu ~ It’s been so long since I last took a bath. Wuu, I’m almost dying of filth.”
Wearing a bathrobe, Zhao Lin hummed an unknown little tune as she walked out. Seeing Ye Qiyan sitting not far away drinking iced cola with various kinds of fried chicken spread out in front of him, she hurriedly ran over.
“Brother Qiyan, when did you come out?”
A fair hand stealthily reached toward the fried chicken, but Ye Qiyan caught it red-handed and slapped it aside.
“If you want to eat, buy it yourself.”
“No, I won’t eat. I’m losing weight.”
Having said that, looking at the obviously freshly prepared fried chicken, Zhao Lin still couldn’t help swallowing her saliva.
“I say, are you really being this stingy? Wasn’t your luck pretty good at the last stop? Didn’t you gain anything?”
“I did… but the Train Coins were all taken away by Ye the Skinflint…”
She said the latter words very softly, but Ye Qiyan still heard them clearly.
“I only took 5 pieces in total, and you should have at least 1 left. Do you take me for someone who has never opened a Level 3 Treasure Chest?”
Zhao Lin stubbornly claimed she wasn’t hungry, but in her heart she was still hoping Ye Qiyan would leave some for her. Unfortunately, she was overthinking it.
Ye Qiyan bought the food entirely according to his own appetite and never intended to share it with others from the very beginning.
Two rooms were opened at the Hot Spring Inn.
Lying in bed, it was hard to fall asleep.
Taking out that blasphemy card, Ye Qiyan recalled the voice he heard in the hot spring.
“What on earth is that thing?”
Speaking of which, every time he used the anchorer’s “Voyage” teleportation ability, he seemed to be able to hear a similar sound.
“Should I ask… No, forget it.”
Putting away the blasphemy card, he took out another card.
The invitation card of the Emperor Sequence Organization.
“It should be fine.”
The card swiped through the air.
A chain-like stream of light formed a milky-white chat Light Screen in mid-air.
[Update Personal Information: Joined Faction: Emperor Sequence Organization]
No one was speaking in the Chat Room. His joining was as silent and traceless as a small pebble thrown into a turbulent river.
But soon, a friend request was sent over.
[Zhu Xingtu sent you a friend request.]
Isn’t this person the Charlatan Shaya talked about?
[Accept request, added successfully]
Zhu Xingtu: [Hello, newcomer, welcome to join the Emperor Sequence Organization. Destiny has brought us together. Although it’s a bit offensive, can you tell me if you have found the third fragment of the blasphemy card?]
[“Not yet.”]
In a carriage resembling an astrological palace.
The black-haired woman with eyes like a river of stars looked at the reply on the Light Screen and slightly turned the extremely complex compass in front of her.
“Strange… Why can’t I see whether what he said is true or false?”
Turning it again, the galaxy in Zhu Xingtu’s eyes gradually returned to black pupils, and her overall temperament became much more normal than the Charlatan look just now.
“This is destiny. Destiny prevents me from seeing his destiny. Ah ~ It’s truly magical ~ Don’t you all think so?”
In front of her, thirteen cards with various patterns were suspended in mid-air.
One of the cards flew into her hand.
“Eh? So proactive. Could it be that in his hands… Hehe ~ Speaking of which, letting Fan Huo go and invite him to join the organization should make Shaya quite unhappy, right? After all, he is her benefactor. Destiny tells me she’s going to prepare a new gift for her benefactor ~ Hehe, I hope she doesn’t kill me.”
Her lips curled up as Zhu Xingtu hummed a cheerful tune and typed characters on the Light Screen.
Another message came from the chat box again.
[“Yo ~ Little brother who saved Shaya, newcomers who join the organization all get newcomer gifts. Besides, as the founder of the organization, I should also tell you what our Emperor Sequence Organization really is.”]
“How come this person feels a bit different from just now?”
From being full of Charlatan vibes with “destiny” at every turn just now, to now calling him little brother with inexplicable playfulness.
Ye Qiyan once again recalled what Shaya said about there being no normal people in this organization.
[“Shaya gave you a fragment of the blasphemy card. Did she tell you about the card sequence?”]
[“I know about the card sequence.”]
[“That’s great, no need to explain much ~ The purpose of our Emperor Sequence Organization is to collect all cards of a certain category of card sequence. Just like Shaya, her card sequence is the Angel Card; just like the smoker who invited you into the organization, his card sequence is the War Card; and you ~ although you will sooner or later have a blasphemy card, ~ Shaya should have also told you about the special nature of blasphemy cards, which is that they cannot be collected.”]
[“Therefore, as a member of the organization, the newcomer’s reward is a card from the card sequence ~ If I guess correctly, you should have a Devil Card in your hand, right?”]
[“Would you believe me if I said no?”]
[“Won’t ~”]
[“Alright, how did you know?”]
[“Hengheng, of course it’s because I’m very awesome.”]
Zhu Xingtu toied with the card engraved with a raven pattern in her hand and threw it into the Light Screen.
[“Here you go, newcomer benefit ~”]
[You have received a new mail. Please check it in time.]
Opening the mailbox, the raven-patterned card immediately appeared in front of Ye Qiyan.
[Demon Card – Banshee]
[Harbinger: Consume Mental Power, Demon Raven comes to bring a Harbinger]
[Demon: Consume Stamina, Raven Demon makes the enemy face a Harbinger]
It was a format similar to Bewitchment.
The moment he got this card, a chorus of raven caws entered his ears from unknown origins.
The sound came and went just like Bewitchment that day.
“Another Devil Card… Am I some kind of really bad person? Why am I getting mixed up with devils…”
Ye Qiyan felt somewhat helpless, but he was quite satisfied with this newcomer benefit.
[“How is it? Do you like it?”]
[“Thanks a lot. What do you need me to do? I will do what I can.”]
[“Not needed ~”]
[“…”]
[“Yar ~ Don’t overthink it. There is no such thing as ‘the free things are the most expensive’ here. Emperor Sequence is such an organization. The newcomer benefit is just to make it easier for you to become a member of us, considered an equivalent exchange.”]
Having said that, Ye Qiyan knew very well that this wasn’t any ordinary transaction.
After joining this organization, one would always be influenced by it at some point or another.
[“Alright, you go do your thing, and I’ll do mine. Emperor Sequence Organization has no rules, only one goal, which is to collect the card sequence you possess. Aside from that, keep it up. I look forward to the day of your success, and so does destiny.”]
The chat ended.
Ye Qiyan put the newly acquired Devil Card into his pocket.
Although he had joined it, he still knew very little about this organization.
card sequences, no matter how one looked at it, belonged to top-tier rare items in this world.
An organization that collected card sequences couldn’t possibly be obscure, no matter how one thought about it. The City of a Thousand Stars should have some news about them.
“Sleep — Bang!”
Just when Ye Qiyan was preparing to rest.
Next door, in Zhao Lin’s room, a loud crash rang out.
Had her Bad Luck finally begun?
