Card Creator: My Cards Unlimited Chain Chapter 348

Chapter 348 Mirage Muyuan

 Everyone looked over.

 “What do you mean?” Meng Ran looked a little confused.

"We have a case." Mu Long clapped his hands, "Okay, let's talk about it on the way."

 On the bus

 “A soul card master from Haiting?”

"That's right." Qin Yueran stood at the front of the car, holding a thermos cup in his hand, "His origins are somewhat suspicious. People from the Public Security Bureau have been watching him for more than ten years, but this man has always kept to himself and is just traveling around. He even helps the old lady cross the road, but he has never done anything bad, so there is nothing we can do against him."

At this time, Wen Renge raised his hand and said, "Can I ask...what are the specific doubts about him?"

"He comes from a famous family of card banners in Haiting." Mu Long took over the conversation, "You should know that outside of the Yan Kingdom, many countries have an ambiguous attitude towards card banners, as long as they are not too high-profile or too excessive. , some ordinary banned cards can be allowed to exist and even develop."

Hearing this, Meng Ran could not help but widen his eyes: "Is he a card banner?"

"If so, then there would be no need to observe him for so long." Mu Long shook his head, "When he first entered Yan Country, he would have been arrested directly. It's a pity that this man's power is very innocent, and his documents are all in order. There are no rules, so the Public Security Bureau can only observe - anyway, if he doesn't commit any crime, we can't just drive him away."

Yu Cang then asked: "Then why this time?"

"Of course this guy showed something strange -" Qin Yueran said, "Since yesterday, he suddenly seemed to sense something and has been searching near Mudu University. After observation by the Public Security Bureau, he found the target he wanted to find. , should be among you."

Meng Ran pointed at himself: "Us?"

“To be precise, he should be a member of the Fighting Club in our ancient capital—after all, his strangeness only appeared after we arrived in Mudu.”

“But, which of us can be targeted by foreign card banners?” Lu Zihe frowned.

 The air became quiet for a while, everyone was thinking, and the two teachers did not speak.

 Suddenly—not even a few seconds later.

 All the people in the Gudu University Fighting Club turned their heads and looked at Yu Cang.

　　 Yu Cang: “…”

 Another second passed.

 All the people in the Mudu University Fighting Club looked at Yu Cang with their eyes wide open as if they had rehearsed.

　　 Yu Cang: “…”

“Cough.” Gu Jieshuang, who was sitting next to Yu Cang, coughed lightly and forcibly suppressed the urge to turn to look at him.

Yu Cang rolled his eyes: "I said, I was a little kid more than ten years ago. Is it worth coming all the way to Yan country?"

"Who knows." Meng Ran looked serious, "What if that guy is a spy from Haiting? It really has no purpose, but he suddenly received a mission to assassinate you a few days ago... It's very possible!"

Yu Cang Yile: "Hey, then he is waiting for me in Mudu? I didn't even know I was coming to Mudu."

"What Meng Ran said makes sense." Mu Long interjected at this time, "Now we don't know his true purpose, so we must take precautions in all aspects - of course, others should not take it lightly, maybe he is just targeting you. They are here."

Wen Renge nodded: "So...our task today is to cooperate with the Public Security Bureau and lure the snake out of its hole?"

"That's right." Qin Yueran nodded, "That man hasn't done anything yet. Even if the Public Security Bureau arrests him directly, nothing can be found out. Therefore, his true purpose must be found. We will go to an open secret realm later. , today's exchange project has turned into a secret exploration, and during this process, if that person really has any intention, it will definitely be exposed.”

Mu Long: "The man's name is Bain, he is a sixth-level soul card master, and his ultimate combat power is unknown. After encountering him, try not to resist. You can conduct some tests while ensuring your own safety.

"But you don't have to worry. Someone from the military will come to support this operation. Although they won't be too close due to confidentiality considerations, if danger arises, it will not take more than a minute for reinforcements to arrive on the battlefield."

Hearing this, everyone's expressions became serious and they all nodded.

There is no doubt that this operation will be accompanied by life-threatening danger. One minute can be short or long. Once Bain has murderous intentions, they may not be able to survive this time.

 However, no one questioned or quit, and the two teachers were not surprised.

Still, the Soul Cardist University will not try to cultivate a powerful soul card master, but let it go to the people.

As long as they graduate successfully, they will basically join the association. Those who have not graduated successfully can only work in some companies approved by the association.

When the association needs students' cooperation, basically no students will refuse - originally, these things are most likely what they will do in the future.

 In fact, there are not a few students who have died in the line of duty before graduation.

However, those extreme situations are still in the minority after all, and most jobs that require students' cooperation are not too dangerous.

Just like this time, looking at the relaxed expressions of the two teachers, you can tell that the difficulty of this task will not be much higher.

On the one hand, through more than ten years of observation by the Public Security Bureau, Bain's strength has basically been figured out, and one minute of support time does not mean that it takes one minute to arrive - this number is already a conservative estimate. The reality is it will be shorter.

What's more, the most important thing is that there is Yu Cang in this team.

With the association's attention, Qin Yueran can guarantee that in places they don't know, various security measures are absolutely layered, and it is impossible for Yu Cang to have any accidents.

Mirage Muyuan

 This is a quite famous secret place near Mudu.

The secret realm itself is a vast grassland. It is said that thousands of years ago, a powerful mirage dragon once lived here, herding and eating here. Later, wild beasts swept through and the mirage disappeared without a trace, leaving only the original remains here. Mirage's food, and his unreasonable illusion power.

Of course, without the mirage, the power here has become rootless water. Sooner or later it will dissipate. If there is external interference, the time will be dissipated even earlier.

But because taking risks in it is very good for soul card masters, and the rhythms in it are also very useful, so after the establishment of Yan Kingdom, the association spent a lot of effort to manage the environment here, and only opened it to the outside world after it was confirmed to be safe and stable. .

The bus stopped at a station, and everyone got off the bus one by one.

The fresh breath hit our faces, and the vast grassland spread out before our eyes. For a moment, everyone in the ancient capital felt as if their hearts were being opened.

This is an open secret realm, so there are many soul card masters and card makers around who have formed their own teams and are ready to enter it for adventure.

 However, their teams are not large in number, and they have reached the end of the journey with at most four people—in the illusion, the more people there are, the safer it is.

“Mirage Muyuan.” Yu Cang looked at the seemingly empty grassland in front of him.

This place is actually similar to the "Mirror Maze". The power of illusion divides the space here into countless spaces like a mirror. Looking out from each space, you can only see the endless vast grassland, but in fact it is quite large. lively.

Mirage dragons like to eat swallows, and for a powerful mirage dragon with such a vast territory like this, it is natural that what it eats is not ordinary flying swallows. Historical records record that when the mirage came here, it brought many "sea diamond swifts" with it. The mirage used magic to block the flying ability of these swifts, so that they could never fly away and could only stay on the land all their lives, while the ground And being shrouded in the illusion of mirages, it can be said that there is no way to the sky and no way to the earth, and can only be eaten by the mirages one by one.

After the mirage disappeared, these Sea Diamond Swifts naturally could not escape the invasion of Huang. The power of Huang completely integrated the illusion that sealed their flying ability with this race, turning the Sea Diamond Swift, a spiritual beast race here, into something that could only The desolate beast "Liuyu Huanzhi" trudges on the ground.

In front of you, even if you look at the empty space, if you take another step forward, you will fall directly into the illusion.

Here, two people walking side by side, even if one of them stops for a step, may enter a different fantasy space.

"The goal of this trial is to cross the mirage Muyuan." Mu Long grinned and said with a smile, "It will be dark in two hours. You will definitely not be able to get out today, so do your best. Prepare to spend the night in Mirage Muhara."

Qin Yueran: "Teacher Mu and I will wait for you at the other end of Muyuan, Mirage Realm. If you don't come out tomorrow night, it will be considered a failure. Of course, this time there are two fighting clubs together, and there must be a bit of competition. Mudu's I can't control it, but if you come out too late, then tomorrow night's food will not taste meaty.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the ancient capital couldn't help but change their colors.

 Is it such a big deal?

When Mu Long saw that Qin Yueran had spoken, he was naturally unwilling to lag behind: "Teacher Qin has said so, so of course we can't lag behind - boys, you grew up in Mudu, if it doesn't take as long as it takes to crack the secret realm of your own family as it does in other ancient capitals... Don't say tomorrow, just stay vegetarian for the next week!”

At this moment, everyone in Mudu who was watching the show also looked solemn.

 Holy shit, are you serious?

　　This time I have to win.

 It's been a week...it's been so hard!

"By the way, you all have this equipment." Qin Yueran took out a bracelet, "This is the 'Illusion Device'. As long as you wear the matching Illusion Device, you can confirm each other's position in the environment. Since you are going to spend the night there, you must form a team, otherwise no one will know if your home is robbed at night."

Yu Cang nodded, feeling enlightened.

 This is a soul-powered tool, which is actually a type of totem.

It is quite practical. With this, you don't have to worry about getting lost in the mirage with your teammates. At the same time, the purpose of coming out this time is to lure the snake out of the hole. Without a team, it is still too dangerous.

 Everyone received the phantom instrument from the teacher one after another.

 Team formations are mostly two people, but there are also three people in a team, and Yu Cang's teammates are naturally Gu Jieshuang and Qi'er.

 He can't bring anyone else with him.

During the winter vacation, Yu Cang chatted with Gu Jieshuang every day. Naturally, he knew how brutally special training she had gone through, so Yu Cang was quite confident about her current strength.

There is no need to mention Qi'er - in fact, with Qi'er by his side, if Yu Cang meets that Bain... he will only be unlucky.

  Don't forget, girls are also capable... Although they are useless against wild beasts, they are basically invincible when encountering soul card masters.

  It directly extracts soul energy from your brain and uses it to steal your spell cards. How do you fight?

Bain is only at level six. If the chess piece really wants to plunder the soul energy, it will be difficult for him to resist.

"alright."

 After issuing all the illusion instruments, Qin Yueran unscrewed the thermos cup, took a sip of water, and then said:

“Then I'll see you tomorrow—don't get lost, and I'll go in and get you.”

Yu Cang took the hands of Qi'er and Gu Jieshuang and walked into the mirage Muyuan.

Hand in hand, this is the surest way to prevent getting separated.

After all, this was his first time entering such a secret realm, and he still needed to get used to it. Otherwise, even with the Illusion Device, he would be in a state of embarrassment for a while.

A crisp sound as if the ice was breaking rang in his ears. Yu Cang took a step forward, and the people around him disappeared immediately. Even the noisy sounds stopped for a moment.

 There were only three of them left in the entire grassland.

 Looking back, the station behind him also disappeared.

Yu Cang held the hands of the two of them and took a tentative step back. Suddenly, the sound of breaking ice came to his ears again, but the station did not appear again - they came to another environmental space.

"Can't we go back the same way?" Yu Cang clicked his tongue.

If you encounter such a secret place in the wild, it would be really desperate.

But fortunately, there is no desperate situation in this secret place now. Even if you are really trapped in it, the association has corresponding plans to fish you out.

 Looking up, there are also visions in the sky.

Countless transparent crystalline solids loom in the air, like absolutely clean ice suspended in absolutely clear water, and like mirrors without dust. Occasionally, when the angle and light are right, Yu Cang can see in them. to your own reflection.

But most of the time, those ice-like and mirror-like structures are erratic, and cannot be seen clearly or touched.

Those are probably the embodiment of uncontrolled illusion energy that occasionally overflows.

Looking upward, Yu Cang saw the sun.

“As long as you keep walking in the direction where the sun sets, you can get out of the illusion and reach Teacher Qin.” Gu Jieshuang said.

"Yes...but it's not that simple." Yu Cang narrowed his eyes slightly.

If he remembered correctly...when he entered another illusion space from the illusion space, the position of the sun changed.

The sun he sees now may not be the real sun.

 Where the real direction is, we need to carefully identify it.

Yu Cang lowered his head and looked at his wrist.

On the phantom instrument, there is a small, compass-like dial, but it cannot indicate the direction. There are two pointers, one pointing to Gu Jieshuang and the other to Qi'er.

It only has this function... However, the one they have in their hands now must be a specially made version, which has the function of confirming the orientation, allowing military personnel to confirm their position at any time. When necessary, we can also conduct some simple communication with the outside world.

“Then what should we do?” Gu Jieshuang asked.

“There's no rush.” Yu Cang shook his head, “It's almost dark today, so let's find a place to spend the night in the remaining time.”

   Thanks to Weihuohu nv for the reward!
