Chapter 99 The Bleeding Eldest Son

The entry extraction is complete, and rare entry is obtained: [Bombardment], common entry: [Explosion]

The entries on the Roaring Messenger have been extracted. Yu Cang looked around and started extracting entries on a scrapped armored vehicle.

Still an hour.

During the entry extraction, Yu Cang maintained a state of resonance, which shortened the extraction time, but also made Yu Cang feel a little dizzy.

Maintaining resonance for such a long time is indeed a big burden for him.

Boom!!

A violent explosion sounded nearby, and a gust of air swept over with dust and dirt. The crackling sand hit Yu Cang's goggles. He shook his clothes and looked aside.

"Qiuding, please control the landing point of your grenade. Don't make my place a mess."

"Hahahaha... Sorry, sorry, I'm not very proficient in controlling it yet." Qiu Ding carried the launcher with an excited look on his face. "Master Yu Cang, why don't you come? Fire a few more rounds. It's my treat anyway!"

Over there, he saw that several wreckages of armored vehicles had been completely turned into scrap metal by him, and some of them had even produced secondary explosions while burning fiercely. The scene was extremely tragic.

Now he has put his shortage of funds behind him and only wants to have a good time!

Anyway... I can just borrow some from some friends later, it's not a big deal.

"... Go back and improve your Soul Card Master level, then hire a dedicated card maker to upgrade your Sunfire Curse. Nothing beats this."

Yu Cang only tried to fire one shot from this howitzer after learning how to use it, and never touched it again.

After all, its power is just like that. In terms of destructive power, it may not be comparable to the breath of the black dragon. It is also extremely expensive, costing ten thousand yuan per shot. It is simply robbery.

Although Qiu Ding was treating him, he didn't want to spend too much. If he really wanted to experience it, he should go back and make the corresponding soul card. Using soul energy is more cost-effective than spending money.

But Qiu Ding obviously had different ideas from Yu Cang:

"Hey, how can the feel be the same!" He was excited. "This is exactly the recoil and smell of gunpowder I want!"

Yu Cang sighed, but didn't say anything more, just maintained the resonance more deeply.

There was another reason why he didn't have much experience with grenades, and that was that Yu Cang was distracted by controlling the skeleton mechanical dog, letting the little guy search the nearby terrain.

Yu Cang calculated in his mind that his current location should be very close to the warehouse he saw on the mountain, but the distance was too far after all, and the specific location still needed careful exploration. The skeleton mechanical dog could share vision and its body was very small, so it was naturally very suitable for doing this.

Although the movement and activation of the Skeleton Mechanical Dog require the consumption of soul energy, the good thing is that Cang can put it into standby mode when the soul energy is insufficient, and he himself takes the opportunity to recover. In this way, the efficiency of exploration is not too low.

After using it, I found that the controllable distance of mechanical summoned beasts is much farther than that of other types of soul cards.

With his current strength, the maximum distance for manipulating a summoning card like the Gray Dragonborn is about two hundred meters, but the Skeleton Mechanical Dog has been walking and stopping along the way, and has already walked seven or eight hundred meters, and now it still maintains a good connection with him.

This may also be one of the advantages of the mechanical department.

Another tube of soul energy was used up, but still nothing was gained.

Yu Cang ordered the skeleton dog to stay on standby, while he rubbed his brows and tried to recover his soul energy as quickly as possible.

He had no idea how many times he had repeated this. Furthermore, he had been maintaining a high-intensity resonance state for the past half day, so he was now extremely tired.

…

It was unknown how much time had passed, but when Yu Cang ordered the skeleton mechanical dog to stand by again, the color of dusk could already be faintly seen outside.

At this moment, a message flashed on the entry recorder:

The entry extraction is complete, and the rare entry is obtained: [Chariot], and the common entry is: [Scrap Iron]

Extraction completed?

Yu Cang was a little dazed.

This means that he has been in this place for nearly an hour and a half... but still found nothing.

Turning around, Qiu Ding had already had enough of his craving and was sitting under a parasol, drinking juice and basking in the sun.

He had had enough fun not long ago, but looking at Yu Cang's expression, he guessed that he was busy with work, so he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he pulled Guluo to sit aside and chatted about random things.

Buzz...

The personal terminal suddenly vibrated. Yu Cang picked it up and saw a message from Li Anjiu:

How's your situation? -

Nothing has been found yet.

-

I've checked the information... The little girl you met should be Yu Qier, the daughter of Yu Wanqing, a shareholder of Strike Star.

-

Yu Wanqing... is that Mrs. Yu?

Yes, it was her. This person's file looked... tragic. She had three pregnancies; the first one ended in stillbirth, the second with twins, but her older brother was born mentally retarded, and her younger brother suddenly went insane and died in his hospital bed at the age of seven or eight. After much difficulty giving birth to Yu Qi'er, her husband passed away shortly thereafter, leaving her alone to raise Yu Qi'er.

Yu Cang raised his brows after seeing this.

What a miserable woman.

Is that why she controls Yu Qier like this now?

Yu Cang seemed to think it made some sense.

But Li Anjiu then sent a message:

-

However, it wasn't that simple. In fact, I looked through the files and discovered that Yu Wanqing's husband, Chang Weimin, a former shareholder of Strike Fire Star, had been implicated in a banned card trafficking case over a decade ago. Although there were suspicions of his involvement at the time, there wasn't enough evidence to arrest him, so they could only observe him for now. Later, Chang Weimin mysteriously died, and this file became incomplete.

Yu Cang frowned and asked quickly:

you mean?

-

Yu Wanqing's child's miscarriage and premature death were likely the result of the leaked forbidden card aura. The archives mention that the bureau investigated Yu Wanqing, but her background was impeccable, leaving no room for suspicion. But if what you saw is correct... Yu Wanqing was likely preparing for the forbidden card-making ceremony. Perhaps she was the mastermind behind the case. Yu Cang, you might have found a big fish!

Yu Cang looked at this long message and hadn't figured out how to reply when the other side said:

Yu Cang, we've basically confirmed Yu Wanqing's suspicion. The bureau has already issued a reassignment order and dispatched additional personnel. The search warrant will be issued by tonight at the latest. Find a chance to leave here first, and don't show any suspicious behavior. Yu Wanqing has been hiding for so many years, so she must be extremely cautious and suspicious. You've had contact with her daughter, so don't give her the opportunity to suspect you.

Yu Cang first breathed a sigh of relief, but then fell silent.

...Whatever.

Although I'm still a little worried about that girl, but at the moment... this is all I can do.

I have been searching here for over an hour, but still have found nothing. If I continue searching, I guess it will be hard to find any clues.

Anyway, the superintendent will send someone in the evening, so it should be in time... I'd better go first, I've done my best.

Thinking of this, he typed "OK" and was about to send it to Li Anjiu, but he found a red exclamation mark after the message.

Um?

Yu Cang was stunned.

Why is there suddenly no signal?

He tried again several times, but the result was no different.

A bad feeling quietly rose in his heart.

At this moment, he suddenly sensed something and quickly connected to the skeleton mechanical dog's vision.

He clearly remembered that before the skeleton dog disappeared from his sight last time, all he saw was the unchanging forest, but now... suddenly, it had turned into a stone platform covered with evil patterns!

wrong!

His sight was shifting, but Yu Cang was not controlling the skeletal dog, or rather, he was no longer able to do so. Just as he was at a loss, a woman's face, though slightly wrinkled but clearly well-maintained, appeared within the skeletal dog's field of vision, and she smiled at him.

Judging from her actions, the skeleton dog should be... being pinched by her by the back of the neck.

"Look, what a cute little creature... I'm sorry to have kept you waiting—now, you can start your tour."

Is this...Mrs. Yu?

Yu Cang frowned.

…

"Yu Cang, you should leave first. People who play with banned cards are very cruel. Once they are discovered, they will often kill to silence them. You are just a student, so leave the rest to us."

Li Anjiu, who was in plain clothes, typed out this message.

However, after waiting for a while against the wall, he still did not receive a reply from Yu Cang.

Although it wasn't a long time, Li Anjiu still instinctively felt that something was wrong.

After hesitating for a moment, he immediately picked up his personal terminal and called Yu Cang using his private number.

"Beep, the number you dialed is out of service area, please call again later..."

Listening to the electronic sound coming from the terminal, Li Anjiu's heart sank.

It’s bad…something’s going to happen!

He would not think it was a coincidence that the signal suddenly failed at such a critical moment!

Without hesitation, Li Anjiu immediately stood up and was about to walk towards the depths of the shooting range, but two strong men in black immediately appeared and stopped him.

"Sorry sir, that's the premium members area, you can't go in there."

"No... I came here with a friend. If you let me in, he will be inside." Li Anjiu said.

"You can call your friend to inform him. If it's true, we will let you go."

"The key is that the signal suddenly went out... How about you take me there? Once we meet, you can confirm my identity!"

The strong men in black looked at each other.

"I'm sorry, sir, this is not within our scope of responsibility. If you continue to bother us, we won't rule out calling the police."

"I..." Li An paused for a moment.

Call the police?

I am the police!

But he still didn't say this.

The search warrant wouldn't come down soon, so he wasn't qualified to force his way in now.

Even though he was very worried about Yu Cang's safety, he also knew that revealing his identity now would only alert the enemy. The premium membership area was so large, and these strong men in black would definitely not take him to where Yu Cang was after knowing that he was a security guard.

Li Anjiu took a few steps back and glanced at both sides.

Fortunately... the security here isn't particularly tight... I can only sneak in and then slowly search, hoping I'll make it in time...

…

Deep in the mountains

Mrs. Yu returned to the center of the stone platform with a faint smile, holding the skeleton mechanical dog in one hand.

Here, there is a throne made of stone, with deep lines engraved on it, forming a strange pattern.

The petite Yu Qier sat on the throne...

She was still wearing the black dress, biting her lips, her legs together, her hands clenched tightly in front of her, and she looked very uneasy.

Next to it, there was a small table with a cup of blood-red liquid on it. Madam Yu walked over to it, placed the skeleton dog on it, and straightened its head with her hand.

"What a clever little creature... Can you see clearly from this angle, Yu Cang?... Ah, so you can't talk yet? That's such a shame. I thought I'd finally have someone to chat with after work."

Mrs. Yu's expression seemed a little regretful.

Click, click...

A row of bloody footprints spread out of thin air from not far away. It seemed that some invisible existence walked under Madam Yu's feet. Then, Madam Yu's trouser legs were tugged, and a voice came from the air:

"Mom, Mom...we can chat with you..."

Madam Yu's smile faded slightly. She turned her head and said in a colder tone, "Didn't I tell you not to touch me with your hands?"

The air seemed to tremble, and one could even see a blood mist splattering from an invisible source. The voice immediately trembled and said, "I'm... I'm sorry... I just wanted to be closer to Mom..."

Madam Yu looked at the blood on her trouser legs, said nothing, turned around, picked up the cup of blood-red liquid on the small table, and slowly came to the stone throne.

She looked at the girl on the throne who was looking up at her. The smile on her face finally softened a little, and then... she gently and slowly poured the cup of liquid on the back of the throne. A touch of scarlet spread down along the lines on the surface of the throne, until the blood color gradually infected the girl's body.

Then Mrs. Yu threw away the cup, took out the writing brush, lifted up one of Yu Qier's hands, and squatted down gently.

Mrs. Yu always had a comfortable smile on her face, as if she was just painting her daughter's beautiful nails.

"Qi'er, be good. If you behave well, it won't hurt..."

"……good……"

…

Behind Madam Yu, a voice suddenly came from the bloody footprints:

"Mom...sister...that's great, mom is putting makeup on my sister. I will have a sister soon...No, I can't let anyone disturb mom!"

Step, step, step...

This set of footprints stretched all the way, and no one knew where they went.

…

On this side of the camera, Yu Cang, who shared the vision of the skeleton mechanical dog, was already terrified!

This isn't a mother painting her child's nails, this is Mrs. Yu using the girl's body to make a ban card!

He didn't know what would happen, but from common sense, once the banned card was produced, Yu Qier's consciousness would most likely be destroyed!

No life can be born in the Soul Card. Anyone who tries to break this taboo will become a slave to the banned card!

"No, I have to stop her!"

Yu Cang tried to control the skeleton dog, but an inexplicable force suppressed the soul card, making him unable to do anything except observe the view here through the skeleton dog.

I can only go there in person.

Yu Cang stood up suddenly, and Ye Lai jumped onto his shoulders.

"Qiuding, you and Guluo go down the mountain first. I'm going to take a walk deeper." Yu Cang's tone was a little serious.

"Ah?" Qiu Ding was stunned.

Before he could react, Gu Luo, standing beside him, said with difficulty, "Um... Mr. Yu, members are not allowed to act alone in this place... After all, as you know, these explosives are very dangerous, haha..."

"If you don't leave now, you two will be in danger." Yu Cang slapped the card box and summoned a giant scaly beast.

Gu Luo said blankly: "Mr. Yu, what do you mean..."

Qiu Ding was already excited again: "What? Master Yu Cang, have you finally found a clue? You can't abandon me for such an exciting thing!"

"Um, you two..." Although Guluo didn't know what was going on, he still tried his best to dissuade them, "For safety reasons, releasing soul cards is not allowed here. We have rules, please understand..."

He was a little confused now. He didn't know why Yu Cang was having fun, but suddenly seemed like he was about to start a fight.

Even the soul cards are summoned!

But he certainly couldn't let Yu Cang do whatever he wanted. Although this place was far from the ammunition depot, Qiu Ding had also moved a lot of grenades here because he wanted to play. If they all exploded accidentally, it would be a big deal.

While trying to dissuade them, Gu Luo reached for his waist, trying to call a few security guards to come and clear the situation.

Although he is also a soul card master, the card deck he carries with him is not very suitable for use in such a place. This matter has to be left to the security guard to handle.

However, when he reached for his waist, he did not touch his personal terminal as he wished, but instead touched a... delicate hand?

From the feel of it, it looked like a child's hand, but there was something wrong, because this little hand was covered in a layer of sticky liquid, which made me feel a little creepy when I touched it...

Where is this child from?

Gu Luo turned around in confusion, but... he saw nothing.

No, it's in my own hand...

Guluo looked down, and suddenly a chill hit his head.

Blood!

My hands are covered in blood!

There was another touch in the palm of his hand, as if another small hand touched it and gently lifted it up. Then, delicate and sticky hot air was exhaled into the palm of his hand. Guluo only heard a childish voice coming from the unknown space:

"Uncle, can I hold your hand?"

"I……"

Gu Luo took a breath and tried to pull his hand out, but it was too late!

A tearing pain suddenly spread across half of his body. An irresistible force erupted from his arm without any warning. In just a moment, skin ripped, fascia tore, and bones shattered simultaneously...

Snap! Swish!

Half of Guluo's arm was pulled down by something in the air!

“Ah!!!!” Guluo fell to the ground all of a sudden, veins popping out on his arms and neck. After a brief numbness, the pain coming from his body almost made him lose the ability to think. He could only hold his arms and tremble on the ground!

"Old Gu!"

Qiu Ding was about to rush over here immediately, but Yu Cang was one step faster, controlling the scaly plague beast to pounce quickly and head straight for the pool of blood on the ground!

boom!

The scaly beast's sharp claws slammed into the ground, raising a cloud of dust and shaking the entire ground, but... nothing happened.

That place is now empty.

"Oh my, uncle is not being good~"

The voice came from the side, Yu Cang quickly pulled Qiu Ding back and looked vigilantly towards the source of the voice.

He had just summoned a giant scaly beast, and his soul energy was exhausted. If Qiu Ding still ran to Guluo at this time, it would undoubtedly give this unknown existence the opportunity to defeat it one by one, so he could not let Qiu Ding leave his side.

Moreover, it is not appropriate to act rashly before judging the enemy's capabilities.

Obviously, Qiu Ding also reacted after being pulled away. He glanced at Guluo who was howling in pain not far away and cursed inwardly.

"Damn it, Lao Gu, hold on for now... Yu Cang, what the hell is that thing?"

"...It looks like some kind of banned card." Yu Cang's face was serious, his eyes fell on the wreckage of a scrapped armored vehicle nearby.

I saw... there was now a pool of blood, as if it had spread from a footprint. And the strange thing was that in mid-air, a severed hand with half of its forearm attached was being held by the index finger of an invisible being. Sticky blood flowed down from the contact point and mixed with the wound on the severed hand itself, which looked very weird.

This invisible being seemed to be short in stature. The half of his severed hand hung naturally in his hand, and the wound at the back had touched the top of the armored vehicle.

"Hmm..." A childish, puzzled voice came from the air, carrying a sticky smell of blood. "Uncle, why are you screaming so painfully? Don't you like holding hands with me?"

"Who the hell would like this!" Qiu Ding cursed loudly, slapping the card box and summoning a Burning Earth Prison Seeker. "You bastard, what the hell are you? Come out and let me see you!"

"Me..." The air above the armored vehicle rippled slightly, and a stream of blood-colored liquid splashed out of nowhere. The voice seemed to think for a moment before speaking, "I don't have a name... My brothers and sisters all have names, but I'm the only one who doesn't. But I'm still very happy, because... I'm Mom's eldest son! 'The bleeding eldest son,' Mom seems to call me. You can call me that, too."

"Die for me!" Qiu Ding cast a Yangyan spell, and a huge fireball formed out of thin air and rushed straight towards the armored vehicle!

boom!

An explosion sounded, and flames engulfed the armored vehicle, seemingly causing a chain of explosions in other parts of the vehicle, with smoke slowly rising.

"Oh, brother isn't behaving well either." The voice holding the severed hand appeared from another place. "Mom said that naughty children should be taught a lesson. I don't like being taught a lesson... but I like to teach others a lesson, so... brother will be obedient, right?"

"You fucking..."

Yu Cang frowned and stopped Qiu Ding who was about to continue attacking.

"Don't be impulsive. The enemy will become invisible. Your attack will be too loud and it will be easy for us to lose our target!"

"...What should we do then?" Qiu Ding gritted his teeth, "This guy is so fucking weird!"
