The next day, when Shen Sui woke up, Qishala had already left.

Ah...

What a crazy night.

Shen Sui lay in bed, staring at the white ceiling. He lay there for quite a while before he could get up.

Quarterfinals on Friday, semifinals on Saturday, and finals on Sunday.

Three consecutive days to finish the Modu Duel Tournament.

It's not that the Modu Duel Tournament doesn't want to extend the schedule to earn enough traffic, but because there are simply too many competitions in Huaxia. If a tournament drags on for a month, many players who are hitting high scores will hesitate.

And once the players capable of achieving high scores hesitate, it means the tournament will lose a lot of high-level duels, reducing the event's quality.

Therefore, in the real world, most duel tournaments conclude within a two-week cycle, and few events last a whole month.

With his and Xinyuan Tanchun's simultaneous breakthrough into the top eight, their previous boast of meeting in the semifinals came true.

Tonight, Shen Sui's opponent is Xinyuan Tanchun.

Only one of them can reach the Modu Duel Tournament finals.

For both of them, it's an honor they have never achieved before.

Shen Sui should start preparing now.

But looking at the time, he realized he had slept until 1 p.m.

Ah... Women really do affect card playing!

Shen Sui proved the truth of this saying with his actions.

Since they are opponents in the tournament, they naturally can't enter the arena in the same car.

Though both are very professional Life Card Masters, public opinion isn't always concerned with morals. It tends to think in the direction it prefers. If they enter the arena together, no matter how exciting the event is, there will always be rumors of match-fixing or scripting.

Today, Shen Sui has to head to the arena by himself.

But he's a frugal person. All his funds need to be saved to buy a house in Modu, so he doesn't plan to waste too much on transport.

Just as well, the Exploration Bureau has something for him, too, so Shen Sui hitched a ride with Wang Ming to the bureau.

"Shi Ruoyi has something to say to you," Wang Ming said.

"Who is Shi Ruoyi?" Shen Sui asked instinctively.

Wang Ming was silent for a moment before saying quietly, "The member of the Suffering Poetry Society you beat by using Fish King to eat her ace."

"Oh~! You mean her." Shen Sui slapped his head, realizing exhaustion had affected his memory.

"You remember the duel but not your opponent's name," Wang Ming teased. "And she's quite a beauty, isn't she?"

"You notice your opponent's looks while playing cards? You're not focused enough," Shen Sui remarked sharply.

Wang Ming couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Isn't Ye Qing here?" Upon entering the Exploration Bureau, Wang Ming directly took Shen Sui to the place where the members of the Suffering Poetry Society were temporarily held.

Technically, Wang Ming isn't a part of the Modu Exploration Bureau staff, as he works at the bureau headquarters.

"He and Director Wu went to console the families of fallen comrades," Wang Ming explained.

Shen Sui knew this was a heavy topic and tactfully didn't pursue it further.

Given that these people possess a certain degree of Extraordinary Power, the country dares not casually imprison them in regular jails.

Under the Technical Bureau's design, a prison for the extraordinary is under construction.

"It should be finished in about three days," Wang Ming informed Shen Sui.

This incredible infrastructure power.

Printing a card would probably turn it into a site-building Divine Card.

Shen Sui mentally joked.

He even thought that having such a card wouldn't be so bad.

Hmm?

Wait a minute.

Shen Sui squinted, recalling the Follower Card that had fallen that day.

Although it was a character from World No. 8, the Follower Card's drop occurred in reality.

Does this imply that reality can also generate Life Cards?

If that's the case, this becomes interesting.

Coupled with the event where Lin Zhen forcibly controlled Feng Lindu's behavior in the real world, Shen Sui suddenly realized that the real world might not be that special and could be like other Soul Card Worlds...

Lost in these thoughts, Shen Sui entered the sixth floor underground, finding Shi Ruoyi in her prison clothes in a cold corridor room.

Without heavy makeup, Shi Ruoyi, due to her clean and simple look, appeared more beautiful.

She showed a pained expression on her face.

"Good afternoon, Miss Shi Ruoyi," Shen Sui greeted her amicably.

Shi Ruoyi gazed deeply at Shen Sui, stayed silent for a long time, and finally spoke, "Your Soul Card World is World No. 1."

Shen Sui nodded straightforwardly, "Yes."

"Your Soul Card is Witch Hozerville."

Shen Sui was indifferent to being seen through since Shi Ruoyi's Soul Card wasn't indirectly killed by Alice: "It could also be someone with the same name."

"No," Shi Ruoyi replied firmly, "I've seen the portrait of Hozerville depicted from recounts. Although she seems to have a disguise magic, anyone who duels with you will undoubtedly notice this."

Saying this, Shi Ruoyi glanced at Wang Ming waiting outside the door, "I'm curious that the Exploration Bureau hasn't discovered this yet."

Shen Sui played with the cup in his hand, saying, "Who knows."

In fact, it was because Alice had eliminated half of the Exploration Bureau's intelligence personnel, and they still hadn't recovered. Being able to verify Shen Sui's information indirectly already counted as trying hard.

After all, a Soul Card that can survive steadily in World No. 1 is indeed hard to cultivate.

Wang Ming once said there are only two Life Card Masters of World No. 1 left in Modu.

One is Xinyuan Tanchun.

The other is Shen Sui.

Of course, it was said that across the Pacific, things are worse. All Soul Cards of World No. 1 perished, and they barely managed to get some Life Card Masters of World No. 1 from two lackeys. But after South Roland's rebellion, most of these agents' Soul Cards were also lost.

Now, intelligence work about the Soul Card World No. 1 in the real world is on the brink of collapse.

It's strange because although intelligence work for World No. 1 has always been challenging over the past few years, it wasn't as bad as this year, where many lives are constantly lost. This year, World No. 1 seems to be having a tumultuous period.

"Looks like I've been targeted by you guys," Shen Sui said, looking at Shi Ruoyi.

Or rather, Alice has been targeted.

Otherwise, Shi Ruoyi wouldn't have seen the image of Alice under the pseudonym Hozerville.

"Not us," Shi Ruoyi shook her head slowly and said, "It's the Descent Association."

"Descent Association? What's that?" Shen Sui squinted and said, "An organization infiltrating from World No. 8?"

"No," Shi Ruoyi shook her head, "We don't know which world's extraordinary individuals developed this organization. The only thing we know is they seem intent on resurrecting a very malevolent superpower."

"A very malevolent superpower," Shen Sui mused, touching his chin. "How malevolent can it be?"

"Supposedly called the Twilight Bishop," Shi Ruoyi said.
