My Stubborn Soul Card Follower

After a night’s work, Vivian finally taught Shen Sui about the relevant techniques, at least enough for him to be selected by the buffer zone and thus be pulled into the independent space of the buffer zone.

But this also left Vivian’s body and spirit in a lasting fatigue, not waking up until noon.

Qishala seemed to have known this outcome long ago and did not wake the sleeping Vivian.

The blizzard had stopped, and thick snow covered all the roads.

The snowplows that should have appeared did not operate normally. As the event of supernatural interference erupted, the residents of Valhalla all ceased to work, staying indoors awaiting the resolution of the event.

Zhang Fang visited early in the morning.

"So, what did you all deduce after discussing throughout the night?" Shen Sui asked while eating steaming hot dishes.

Zhang Fang glanced at the food on Shen Sui’s table and said, "Currently, we still don’t know what their motives are. For now, the people from Valhalla we are in contact with are all very normal humans, and in their eyes, Valhalla is just an organization dedicated to spreading the enjoyment of Life Card Duels."

"In other words, the ones out there now are just ordinary employees?"

"You could say that." Zhang Fang nodded and said, "So, we must find a way to contact the leader of Valhalla, who usually appears after the finals to award the champion a trophy and prize money."

"But if their target is this competition, then it might already be too late by then, right?" Shen Sui looked at Zhang Fang, whose face looked unpleasant.

It seems that knowing too much is not a good thing.

Clearly aware that this organization called Valhalla has significant issues, yet unable to find any flaws. Trying to violently investigate is daunting in fear of provoking the unmanageable Broken Realm Emperor.

Placing himself in Zhang Fang’s position and eliminating all his capabilities, Shen Sui also found it to be a headache-inducing problem.

Fortunately, Zhang Fang’s personal visit this time was not entirely meaningless.

At least, he could negotiate with the leader of the competition-hosting Valhalla organization as the overall person in charge of incident handling, searching for possible evidence.

"If you need my help with anything, just tell me." Shen Sui’s words were essentially a clear indication.

Zhang Fang gave Shen Sui a deep look and said, "I will. At that time, I’ll ask for your help without hesitation."

"Damn it, can’t you pretend to refuse a bit?" Shen Sui said speechlessly, "Or confidently say you don’t need my help or something."

"I have a bit of self-awareness, after all." Zhang Fang said, taking chopsticks from Qishala’s hands.

"So... you came all the way just to mooch a meal, didn’t you?"

Zhang Fang laughed: "I couldn’t resist any longer, so thanks for the meal!"

With that said, Zhang Fang ignored Shen Sui’s speechless expression and started eating the food.

Qishala’s cooking was indeed good, and the food, maintained at a warm temperature despite the environment due to magic enhancement, was truly a blissful remedy.

"Having an enemy capable of self-destruction at any moment is indeed very oppressive." Qishala said after seeing Zhang Fang off.

Shen Sui shivered as the wind blew in from outside the door.

Freymia, who had just gotten up and was drinking soybean milk, laughed upon seeing this: "If people from the Dawn Continent saw this, they’d probably be mind-blown. The dignified Twilight Archbishop being frozen like this."

Shen Sui rolled his eyes speechlessly and said, "Come on, no matter how powerful I am, I’m still a normal human."

"You’re the one who always holds back your Extraordinary Power." Freymia shrugged, "I can’t understand your way of thinking."

"So, are you really not planning to help? Claude." Martina yawned as she walked out, not fond of the cold, even though it couldn’t harm her.

Shen Sui imitated Freymia’s gesture, shrugged, and said, "They don’t seem to need my help."

He had no doubt that Zhang Fang couldn’t see his specialness given his capability and intelligence, and he was also willing to help the Exploration Bureau since they left a rather good impression on him.

Initially, he thought Zhang Fang came over this time to seek aid but didn’t expect him to leave after just mooching a meal.

"Perhaps he had just thought of asking for our help." Shen Sui pondered, "Not sure why he changed his mind midway."

Qishala, elegantly preparing breakfast for Martina, heard Shen Sui’s words and asked, "Maybe in his eyes, we won’t be staying in this world permanently, right?"

Shen Sui paused upon hearing Qishala’s words.

However, this seemed to explain Zhang Fang’s actions.

Requesting Shen Sui and the others for help might solve the problem once and for all, eliminating the need for such complex data gathering and subsequent tactical planning. Yet, Zhang Fang had always only asked Qishala and Freymia to assist in countering the Broken Realm Emperor that might appear at the time and not to assist Qishala in solving Valhalla’s Broken Boundary Creatures.

Perhaps, as Qishala said, in Zhang Fang’s view, they and their group might leave this world anytime. If every challenging incident relied on them for help, it would not only irritate them but also weaken the world’s ability to counter such levels of supernatural events.
