Card Room Chapter 463

Chapter?? ??463?? ??-?? ??Return?? ??to?? ??the?? ??Empire?? ??

Before?? ??going?? ??to?? ??the?? ??bug?? ??planet,?? ??Xiao?? ??Lou?? ??had?? ??placed?? ??the?? ??entrance?? ??of?? ??the?? ??Peach?? ??Blossom?? ??Spring?? ??in?? ??the?? ??

cockpit?? ??of?? ??Spirit?? ??Fox.?? ??Now?? ??everyone?? ??walked?? ??out?? ??of?? ??the?? ??cockpit?? ??and?? ??the?? ??familiar?? ??console?? ??was?? ??in?? ??sight.?? ??

The?? ??mecha?? ??was?? ??in?? ??standby?? ??mode?? ??and?? ??all?? ??the?? ??buttons?? ??on?? ??the?? ??console?? ??were?? ??lit?? ??up?? ??with?? ??a?? ??soft?? ??blue?? ??light.?? ??

Xiao?? ??Lou?? ??walked?? ??to?? ??the?? ??console.?? ??

from?? ??the?? ??window,?? ??the?? ??bug?? ??planet?? ??could?? ??be?? ??seen?? ??under?? ??his?? ??feet.?? ??The?? ??area?? ??where?? ??the?? ??laboratory?? ??was?? ??

established?? ??suddenly?? ??exploded.?? ??

Crimson?? ??flames?? ??rose?? ??to?? ??the?? ??sky?? ??and?? ??heat?? ??waves?? ??rolled?? ??over.?? ??The?? ??rumbling?? ??sound?? ??was?? ??deafening.?? ??The?? ??

surrounding?? ??crystals?? ??were?? ??blown?? ??away?? ??by?? ??the?? ??shock?? ??waves?? ??of?? ??the?? ??explosion?? ??and?? ??scattered?? ??

everywhere.?? ??The?? ??red?? ??crystal?? ??fragments?? ??looked?? ??like?? ??the?? ??most?? ??brilliant?? ??fireworks?? ??in?? ??the?? ??sky.?? ??

Lu?? ??Jiuchuan’s?? ??Vermilion?? ??Bird?? ??Skyfire?? ??was?? ??truly?? ??terrible.?? ??The?? ??flames?? ??released?? ??pletely?? ??destroyed?? ??the?? ??

cloning?? ??laboratory.?? ??At?? ??this?? ??point,?? ??the?? ??entire?? ??underground?? ??cave?? ??collapsed?? ??and?? ??the?? ??bug?? ??queen?? ??who?? ??just?? ??

arrived?? ??let?? ??out?? ??an?? ??angry?? ??roar.?? ??The?? ??bugs?? ??who?? ??had?? ??evolved?? ??to?? ??grow?? ??wings?? ??heard?? ??the?? ??call?? ??of?? ??the?? ??queen?? ??

and?? ??turned?? ??their?? ??heads.?? ??Then?? ??they?? ??all?? ??headed?? ??toward?? ??the?? ??location?? ??of?? ??Spirit?? ??Fox!?? ??

The?? ??bugs?? ??gathered?? ??around?? ??the?? ??queen?? ??and?? ??looked?? ??like?? ??a?? ??large?? ??black?? ??cloud?? ??moving?? ??up.?? ??

They?? ??surrounded?? ??Spirit?? ??Fox?? ??at?? ??a?? ??very?? ??fast?? ??speed.?? ??Xiao?? ??Lou?? ??quickly?? ??pressed?? ??the?? ??start?? ??button.?? ??“Spirit?? ??Fox,?? ??

retreat?? ??quickly!”?? ??

The?? ??mecha?? ??that?? ??received?? ??the?? ??instruction?? ??immediately?? ??spread?? ??out?? ??its?? ??wings?? ??and?? ??soared?? ??into?? ??the?? ??sky.?? ??It?? ??

flew?? ??over?? ??the?? ??top?? ??of?? ??the?? ??bugs?? ??and?? ??broke?? ??through?? ??the?? ??atmosphere?? ??like?? ??a?? ??stray?? ??arrow,?? ??entering?? ??the?? ??vast?? ??

universe?? ??of?? ??stars.?? ??

The?? ??bugs?? ??desperately?? ??chased?? ??after?? ??them?? ??but?? ??the?? ??flying?? ??speed?? ??wasn’t?? ??parable?? ??to?? ??the?? ??S-grade?? ??

mecha.?? ??After?? ??only?? ??10?? ??seconds,?? ??Spirit?? ??Fox?? ??broke?? ??through?? ??the?? ??black?? ??clouds?? ??and?? ??left?? ??the?? ??bug?? ??planet.?? ??It?? ??left?? ??

the?? ??chasing?? ??swarm?? ??of?? ??bugs?? ??far?? ??behind.?? ??

Xiao?? ??Lou?? ??sighed?? ??with ?? ??relief?? ??and?? ??instructed?? ??Spirit?? ??Fox,?? ??“Leave?? ??the?? ??Hilt?? ??No?? ??Man’s?? ??Land?? ??as?? ??soon?? ??as?? ??

possible.”?? ??

Spirit?? ??Fox?? ??replied,?? ??“Yes,?? ??Master.”?? ??

Chu?? ??Huaying?? ??listened?? ??to?? ??the?? ??strange?? ??young?? ??voice?? ??and?? ??couldn’t?? ??help?? ??wondering,?? ??“What?? ??is?? ??this?? ??mecha?”?? ??

Xiao?? ??Lou?? ??explained,?? ??“It?? ??is?? ??the?? ??S-grade?? ??mecha?? ??that?? ??the?? ??emperor?? ??left?? ??to?? ??me?? ??and?? ??Hanjiang.?? ??Previously,?? ??

the?? ??Dark?? ??Night?? ??starship?? ??was?? ??destroyed?? ??and?? ??we?? ??managed?? ??to?? ??survive?? ??thanks?? ??to?? ??this?? ??mecha.?? ??

Xiao?? ??Lou?? ??only?? ??slightly?? ??mentioned?? ??the?? ??matter?? ??of?? ??the?? ??Dark?? ??Night?? ??starship?? ??but?? ??Chu?? ??Huaying?? ??could?? ??

imagine?? ??the?? ??danger?? ??at?? ??that?? ??time.?? ??She?? ??looked?? ??at?? ??everyone?? ??and?? ??said?? ??softly,?? ??“Sorry.?? ??I?? ??didn’t?? ??have?? ??time?? ??to?? ??

starship??? ??Then?? ??he?? ??secretly?? ??destroyed?? ??the?? ??starship?? ??in?? ??order?? ??to?? ??bury?? ??you?? ??in?? ??the?? ??universe?”?? ??

Xiao?? ??Lou?? ??answered,?? ??“Yes,?? ??Uncle?? ??Qin?? ??destroyed?? ??the?? ??balance?? ??system?? ??of?? ??the?? ??Dark?? ??Night?? ??starship?? ??and?? ??

drained?? ??its?? ??energy.?? ??It?? ??set?? ??the?? ??navigation?? ??destination?? ??to?? ??the?? ??clock?? ??constellation?? ??with?? ??frequent?? ??cosmic?? ??

sandstorms.?? ??Fortunately,?? ??we?? ??escaped?? ??the?? ??sandstorm?? ??using?? ??this?? ??mecha.”?? ??

Chu?? ??Huaying?? ??had?? ??a?? ??hint?? ??of?? ??guilt?? ??on?? ??her?? ??face.?? ??

Lu?? ??Jiuchuan?? ??came?? ??over?? ??and?? ??patted?? ??Chu?? ??Huaying?? ??on?? ??the?? ??shoulder.?? ??“This?? ??matter?? ??can’t?? ??be?? ??blamed?? ??on?? ??

you.?? ??We?? ??weren’t?? ??careful?? ??enough?? ??and?? ??didn’t?? ??check?? ??if?? ??Chu?? ??Huaying?? ??was?? ??true?? ??or?? ??false.?? ??We?? ??directly?? ??

teleported?? ??to?? ??the?? ??Dark?? ??Night?? ??starship.?? ??Moreover,?? ??Uncle?? ??Qin?? ??is?? ??a?? ??hunter?? ??and?? ??has?? ??been?? ??lurking?? ??around?? ??

you.?? ??He?? ??wasn’t?? ??right?? ??when?? ??we?? ??interrogated?? ??him?? ??and?? ??we?? ??should’ve?? ??found?? ??it...”?? ??

Xiao?? ??Lou?? ??told?? ??her,?? ??“It’s?? ??all?? ??over.?? ??Don’t?? ??blame?? ??yourself.?? ??This?? ??time,?? ??it?? ??is?? ??a?? ??lesson.?? ??We?? ??will?? ??have?? ??to?? ??be?? ??more?? ??

cautious?? ??in?? ??the?? ??future.”?? ??He?? ??paused?? ??and?? ??looked?? ??back?? ??at?? ??Yu?? ??Hanjiang.?? ??“Did?? ??you?? ??find?? ??that?? ??Uncle?? ??Qin’s?? ??

sentence?? ??was?? ??strange?”?? ??

-??Death??? ??Do?? ??you?? ??think?? ??there?? ??are?? ??hunters?? ??who?? ??are?? ??afraid?? ??of?? ??death??? ??

Uncle?? ??Qin’s?? ??crazy?? ??laughter?? ??before?? ??he?? ??died?? ??echoed?? ??in?? ??his?? ??ears.?? ??Yu?? ??Hanjiang?? ??touched?? ??his?? ??chin?? ??and?? ??

pondered?? ??on?? ??it?? ??for?? ??a?? ??moment.?? ??“You?? ??mean,?? ??the?? ??reason?? ??that?? ??hunters?? ??aren’t?? ??afraid?? ??perhaps?? ??isn’t?? ??what?? ??

we?? ??guessed?”?? ??

Xiao?? ??Lou?? ??nodded.?? ??“I?? ??previously?? ??speculated?? ??that?? ??hunters?? ??aren’t?? ??afraid?? ??of?? ??death?? ??because?? ??failing?? ??the?? ??task?? ??

might?? ??be?? ??more?? ??painful?? ??than?? ??death.?? ??Death?? ??is?? ??a?? ??relief?? ??for?? ??them?? ??so?? ??they?? ??aren’t?? ??afraid?? ??of?? ??death.”?? ??

Ye?? ??Qi?? ??scratched?? ??his?? ??head?? ??in?? ??a?? ??puzzled?? ??manner.?? ??“Isn’t?? ??it?? ??reasonable?? ??to?? ??speculate?? ??like?? ??this??? ??It?? ??is?? ??human?? ??

instinct?? ??to?? ??want?? ??to?? ??live.?? ??As?? ??a?? ??result,?? ??they?? ??would?? ??rather?? ??die?? ??than?? ??tell?? ??any?? ??of?? ??the?? ??organization’s?? ??secrets.?? ??It?? ??

is?? ??obvious?? ??that?? ??the?? ??result?? ??of?? ??the?? ??leak?? ??will?? ??be?? ??worse?? ??than?? ??death.”?? ??

“I?? ??thought?? ??so?? ??as?? ??well.?? ??Yet?? ??when?? ??Uncle?? ??Qin?? ??died?? ??just?? ??now,?? ??he?? ??didn’t?? ??show?? ??despair.?? ??He?? ??laughed?? ??wildly?? ??

like?? ??he?? ??had?? ??acplished?? ??some?? ??mission?? ??and?? ??died?? ??very?? ??happily.”?? ??Xiao?? ??Lou?? ??took?? ??out?? ??the?? ??contract?? ??book?? ??

and?? ??looked?? ??at?? ??the?? ??Team?? ??Resurrection?? ??card?? ??that?? ??hadn’t?? ??been?? ??used.?? ??“Can?? ??the?? ??hunters...?? ??be?? ??

resurrected?”?? ??

The?? ??group?? ??heard?? ??this?? ??and?? ??their?? ??expressions?? ??instantly?? ??stiffened.?? ??

Ye?? ??Qi?? ??couldn’t?? ??believe?? ??it?? ??and?? ??his?? ??eyes?? ??widened.?? ??“No?? ??way??? ??If?? ??the?? ??hunters?? ??can?? ??be?? ??resurrected,?? ??it?? ??would?? ??

Xiao?? ??Lou?? ??put?? ??away?? ??the?? ??contract?? ??book?? ??and?? ??looked?? ??at?? ??everyone.?? ??“We?? ??aren’t?? ??eliminated?? ??directly?? ??if?? ??we?? ??

fail.?? ??There?? ??is?? ??the?? ??Nightmare?? ??Room.”?? ??

Ye?? ??Qi?? ??was?? ??taken?? ??aback.?? ??He?? ??had?? ??experienced?? ??the?? ??3?? ??of?? ??Spades?? ??Nightmare?? ??Room.?? ??He?? ??had?? ??struggled?? ??to?? ??

survive?? ??by?? ??eating?? ??bark?? ??and?? ??weeds.?? ??It?? ??was?? ??also?? ??this?? ??room?? ??that?? ??left?? ??him?? ??with?? ??a?? ??deep?? ??fear?? ??of?? ??hunger?? ??and?? ??

Lu?? ??Jiuchuan,?? ??Tang?? ??Ci?? ??and?? ??Chu?? ??Huaying?? ??had?? ??all?? ??gone?? ??through?? ??the?? ??J?? ??of?? ??Clubs?? ??Nightmare?? ??Room.?? ??Brother?? ??

Jiu?? ??had?? ??a?? ??scar?? ??left?? ??on?? ??his?? ??face?? ??while?? ??Tang?? ??Ci?? ??lost?? ??his?? ??legs.?? ??The?? ??moment?? ??the?? ??words?? ??‘Nightmare?? ??Room’?? ??

Xiao?? ??Lou’s?? ??voice?? ??was?? ??soft.?? ??“If?? ??challengers?? ??fail?? ??the?? ??mission,?? ??there?? ??is?? ??a?? ??chance?? ??to?? ??escape?? ??from?? ??the?? ??

Lu?? ??Jiuchuan?? ??raised?? ??an?? ??eyebrow.?? ??“Don’t?? ??say?? ??unless.?? ??We?? ??must?? ??never?? ??bee?? ??hunters.”?? ??

There?? ??was?? ??sudden?? ??silence?? ??in?? ??the?? ??cockpit.?? ??

Chu?? ??Huaying?? ??wondered,?? ??“We?? ??can’t?? ??kill?? ??all?? ??of?? ??them,?? ??right?”?? ??
