My Stubborn Soul Card Follower

Anyway, since there are invincible big shots to help when something happens, why should I work hard?

Over time, this will lead to dependency. If Shen Sui and his group leave for some reason, who would have the ability to resist similar enemies?

Shen Sui completely understands this thought process.

Because that’s exactly how he restrains Alice.

He never allowed Alice to feel that he was always there for her, ready to help at any time. Instead, he often used excuses like soul injury or being bodiless to go offline, leaving Alice to face some difficulties on her own.

This was essentially to prevent himself from finding Life Card Duels boring one day, ensuring Alice would have the ability to solve problems independently.

The preliminary rounds were still fiercely underway. After breakfast, Shen Sui wandered around the venue where the tournament was being held.

One must say, deserving of the world’s top Life Card Duel tournament, even the preliminary rounds are nearing the final level of many regional A-class tournaments.

Shen Sui just spent a morning and saw several exciting competitions.

Some opponents demonstrated abilities that even made Shen Sui feel an urge to confront them directly.

Most of the Huaxia Life Card Masters who came with Shen Sui, except Tan Song, faced strong opponents in the preliminaries and were eliminated. In the end, only Tan Song successfully made it through.

But this was already an incredible achievement. For the first time, three Huaxia Life Card Masters appeared in the main tournament of the world’s top Life Card Duel.

Three out of sixteen, it’s already a good score. If it was before the Extraordinary Invasion, this might have been a headline-worthy achievement.

But now, this is just the beginning, because their team also includes You Wenqi, last year’s runner-up.

Unfortunately, now the vast majority of people around the world are intensely focused on the Extraordinary interference event in Valhalla.

This is the worst Extraordinary interference event since the outbreak of the Extraordinary Invasion, with the Extraordinary for the first time completely surrounding and isolating an entire city.

If this event can be perfectly resolved, it will undoubtedly inject confidence into the whole world, seeing hope in resisting and even defeating the Extraordinary.

And it’s in this environment that Vivian sent out information through Xinyuan Tanchun that the second test of the buffer zone is officially starting.

This immediately caught the attention of all forces worldwide.

The buffer zone, known as the first line of defense against the Extraordinary Invasion, keeps the Extraordinary Invasion outside the main world, minimizing harm to the real world.

Especially after the Valhalla event, countries are paying more attention to the buffer zone.

The leaders of various countries will watch the entire testing process in various ways.

Because this will be a test simulating a real Extraordinary Invasion.

In the evening, Vivian took out her magic staff and lit up the technique array.

"So, did Old You finally agree to participate in the test?" Shen Sui asked curiously.

Today, while wandering in the venue, he didn’t see You Wenqi, so he had no chance to ask in person, but he got a confirmed response from Tan Song.

Tan Song’s Soul Card has always been kind.

Upon learning that Tan Song’s real world, a world with no local Extraordinary Power, was about to be invaded by different Extraordinary Worlds, he firmly expressed his support and even immediately planned to find a chance to visit the real world to see if he could help.

"He accepted my beta plugin," Vivian said.

Accepting this plugin basically means agreeing.

Because the plugin’s function is mandatory.

When an Extraordinary Invasion triggers the signal network woven by Antipus outside the buffer zone, it will immediately assess the signal to determine the most suitable Life Card Master candidates to fight this Extraordinary and forcibly summon these Masters into the buffer space to battle the intercepted Extraordinary Invader.

This judgement and filtering process is the most challenging work of the whole project, and Vivian struggled for a long time to barely complete it.

But Vivian told Shen Sui that this program is basically impossible to operate normally now because the data collected is insufficient, and she cannot imagine out of thin air, so there’s no way to do big data filtering at the moment, which means it’s essentially doing random selection.

Shen Sui wasn’t surprised by this; if Vivian could really achieve omniscience and omnipotence, he might be surprised instead.

"But, back to the topic," Shen Sui asked curiously, "since it’s a full-immersion simulation, where’s the enemy you arranged?"

Shen Sui didn’t see any tools beside Vivian that could be used to release enemies.

Vivian grinned: "Of course, it’s done through the simulation process of the Extraordinary Invasion."

With that, her magic staff officially activated the entire array.

The next moment, Shen Sui felt a powerful aura enveloping this world.

Turning to look out the window, he saw the entire sky turn blood red.

In his mind, Antipus’s alert sounded.

A powerful enemy was approaching the real world.

Shen Sui widened his eyes and looked at Vivian.

Vivian smiled: "I said it would be real enough."

"But isn’t this overdoing it?" Shen Sui said speechlessly.

The intensity of the simulation opponent Vivian deployed this time was apparent, as it directly triggered Antipus’s warning.

It’s practically capable of destroying the world within moments, isn’t it?

Clearly, the commotion Vivian caused this time was too much, plunging the world into panic; some nerve-sensitive people even immediately thought it was the end of the world.

Vivian stuck out her tongue, apologizing: "Seems like I underestimated the intensity."

Shen Sui sighed.

It reminded him of plots in the game.

The time was so distant that he almost forgot, Vivian was once a figure like Alice, or rather, Alice was like Vivian.

Indeed, these two are passing the torch, with equal talent in causing trouble.

Fortunately, the special phenomenon vanished in just a few seconds.

This wasn’t because Vivian gave an order to stop it, but because the invading puppet was caught by Antipus’s web and thrown into the buffer space.

Immediately, Shen Sui’s dueling device sounded an alarm.

The alarm was very urgent, giving a sense of pressing urgency.

Moreover, it ignored all silent mode orders. Even though Shen Sui silenced the device due to frequent Life Card acquisition alerts, it couldn’t stop the alarm from sounding.

[Extraordinary Invasion Alert!]

[Extraordinary Invasion Alert!]

[You are about to be deployed to the buffer battlefield!]

[You are about to be deployed to the buffer battlefield!]

Then came a ten-second countdown.

Seeing the dueling device, Shen Sui looked up and wanted to complain to Vivian about the sharp, unpleasant sound, suggesting to switch to a gentle big sister’s voice or a cute loli voice, but suddenly, he felt his feet go soft, losing gravity.

The next moment, he felt pulled by a magical force.

If he chooses to refuse at this time, he can completely shake off the effect of this technique.

But after last night’s education, Shen Sui can already control his responses well.

Relaxing, accepting the guidance of the technique, letting it pull him into a void space, the next moment, he feels the sensation of falling.

The surrounding rules have also changed.

Obviously, he has been guided by the technique into the buffer space.

But...

Shen Sui looked speechlessly at the surrounding clouds, then glanced at the distant ground below.

The technique randomly placed him over ten thousand meters high up.

This feeling of falling wasn’t Shen Sui’s imagination; he was indeed falling.

"Damn!"

Shen Sui instinctively exclaimed.

But before he could react specifically, a blonde girl appeared before him the next second.

"Damn!"

The girl, after understanding the situation, instinctively exclaimed.
