Killing Spree: You're Playing Cards With Me, A Magician?

Chuan Liu has always believed: “Chaos is not an abyss, chaos is a ladder.”

Therefore, the magician Chuan Liu chose the criminal exile island – “Paradise Island.”

On this islan...

Chapter 145 I'm going to call for help!

Since news of Chuanliu's injury has already reached the ears of the higher-ups at Cube, it's likely that her temporary amnesia has also been revealed.

The high-ranking officials came here to see just how far Chuanliu's amnesia had progressed.

The girl glanced at Wu Fangming, then at Qian Chuan, and said somewhat awkwardly, "Hello, thank you for your concern. I'm fine now."

Jin Rugo smiled kindly as she leaned closer to Chuanliu and took her hand.

"Good child, I heard you've lost your memory?"

Chuanliu nodded without hiding anything, but as if worried that Jin Rugo would be disappointed, he quickly added, "But the doctor said that my amnesia is temporary and will recover."

Jin Rugo stroked Chuanliu's head and said in her preaching voice, "The light shines upon you, my child. Only those chosen by the Lord have such an opportunity. When the tide rises and falls again, and the flowers bloom and wither, your life will be sublimated."

The girl seemed to have been baptized by Jin Rugo, her gaze fixed on something further away.

Jin Rugo nodded in satisfaction.

"You are a perceptive child."

She continued, "The Lord will bless you and help you recover soon."

Chuanliu's eyes were firm, and his face showed longing. "May God bless you."

Jin Rugo's smile deepened. She chatted with everyone for a while longer before leaving the villa.

After the woman left, Wu Fangming quickly stepped forward and said to Chuanliu, "Sister, you didn't believe that fortune teller, did you?"

The latter's faith remained undiminished: "Sister Ruge is right, God will protect me."

Wu Fangming was clearly getting anxious. "Girl, you used to be quite sharp. Don't let amnesia make you stupid."

Qian Chuan patted Wu Fangming on the shoulder, "Forget it, she'll realize how stupid she was when she recovers."

On the other side, deep within the ninth level of the Plum Blossom City.

Inside the office, a loud slap rang out.

The man who was slapped tumbled to the ground, clutching his swollen cheek, but dared not put up a fight.

"What am I doing raising you all?!"

Hou Yifan's voice rang out.

His voice had a touch of feminine beauty; if it weren't for his manic tone, everyone would feel his gentle nature.

His subordinates didn't dare to raise their heads, obediently standing in front of the desk, letting Hou Yifan smash things on the desk onto them.

"Boss, we did our best. We didn't expect that kid to have a master by his side."

His subordinate explained, clutching his wound.

Hou Yifan snorted coldly, "Have you found that person's information?"

The subordinate lowered his head even further. "It seems to have some connection with Spade City."

"Seems like?" Hou Yifan's eyes flashed with a cold light. "After investigating for so long, all you found was 'seems like'?"

“We went to the First Yorozuya, but we simply couldn’t afford their asking price.”

Hou Yifan already gave them very little money, so how could they have spare money to investigate these things?

The subordinates harbored resentment in their hearts, but dared not utter a single complaint, and could only offer a dry explanation.

Hou Yifan: "Can't you check the prices outside yourself? You don't even have this much investigative ability?"

Subordinate: "...Yes."

Hou Yifan: "Also, please use your brain. If that man is from the City of Spades, why do they all live in the City of Diamonds?"

Subordinate: ...Yes.

Hou Yifan: "Have you found out why Chuanliu took him in?"

Subordinate: ...No.

Hou Yifan: "You're a piece of trash! Keep investigating!"

Subordinate: "...Yes. However, I heard that 'Diamond 10' Chuanliu lost his memory a couple of days ago while saving Susan, and the news has spread throughout both the City of Hearts and the City of Diamonds."

Hou Yifan: "Yes. I know."

Subordinate: "Then do we still need to treat her..."

Hou Yifan: "What if she regains her memory? What if she remembers what Xiong Ajiao once told her? Do you think she would take in that idiot Xiong Ajiao for no reason?"

Subordinate: "...Yes."

Hou Yifan: "Don't ask me such idiotic questions anymore. That ungrateful Xiong Ajiao overheard my plans and is now plotting to run away with another man."

He's probably already spoken to his new lover and that Chuanliu, otherwise why would Chuanliu trust him so much and even risk opposing me to take him in? We need to shut them up forever before this news spreads.”

Subordinate: "But Chuanliu is, after all, 'Square 10.' Won't we offend the City of Squares by doing this?"

Hou Yifan: "Do you think the City of Cubes would care about a useless person with amnesia?"

Subordinate: "Boss is wise."

Night falls in "Cube 3's" villa.

The girl sat listlessly on the terrace, curiously playing with her "10 of Diamonds".

She held up the playing cards, facing the moon, and examined them closely.

The moonlight shone on her, casting a shimmering glow.

"Brother Qian, when do you think the girl will regain her memory?"

Wu Fangming sat downstairs, looking at the bewildered and ignorant girl with a worried expression.

The road ahead was fraught with danger, and to make matters worse, she had lost her memory.

Qian Chuan also sighed, "At least she remembered who she was, so maybe she'll recover soon. I have some important things to arrange on my end, so I'll have to trouble Brother Fang Ming to keep an eye on things for me these next few days."

Wu Fangming nodded. "Don't talk about trouble or not, the girl's business is my business."

Qian Chuan glanced at the river flowing on the terrace one last time before leaving the villa under Wu Fangming's watchful gaze.

It was late at night, and everyone except the brothers on shift sent by Wu Fangming were still awake.

Under the bright moonlight, a dark figure slipped past the many guards and silently entered the courtyard.

The shadowy figure observed from the shadows for a moment, then cautiously climbed over the wall, deliberately avoiding Wu Fangming's room.

With a few nimble flips, she landed effortlessly on the terrace.

Inside the room, Chuanliu was breathing evenly with his eyes closed.

The man in black did not take any further action, but leaned against the wall, tilting his head and quietly watching her.

After a long while, the girl still showed no signs of waking up.

The man in black began searching around Chuanliu's room.

As if on purpose, the man in black rummaged through the documents on the bookshelf, then picked up a pen and scribbled on them.

But the girl still seemed not to hear.

Finally, the man in black couldn't hold back any longer and spoke:

"Hey, aren't you going to wake up yet?"

Chuanliu seemed to be startled awake by the sudden sound. She clutched the blanket tightly to her chest and said timidly:

"Who are you? I'm calling for help! Come here..."

She was about to shout when the man in black covered her mouth.

"Little Miss, take your jokes in moderation, or I won't be responsible if you actually attract attention!"

The man in black said helplessly in a low voice.

The latter then stopped shouting.
