Quick Travel: Card Destroyer

It was supposed to be a pleasant date, but it went wrong right at the beginning.

Remembering that Ji Liangqi had mentioned several places that Fu Cangzhao loved to go, Yi Chunzhan ran to each of them one by one, and even secretly used the clone card to search at the same time. In the end, he did not see the figure of the young man who was slightly shorter than most citizens, and finally returned empty-handed.

She actually wanted to tell Fu Cangzhao and Ji Liangqi that there were serious problems with her body, not just related to the inkless pen, but now she couldn't even find anyone, so there was no way to talk about anything.

And it was completely useless for the child to tell her the solution, she had to go talk to the mayor.

Little did she know that just as the thought arose in her mind, Fu Cangzhao had already boarded the bus to the City Hall.

People on the bus talked to each other from time to time, their voices were not loud, but to Fu Cangzhao it sounded extremely noisy, mixed with the sound of the engine, making it almost impossible for her to hear the station announcements on the radio.

Fortunately, during the time she stayed at the office, Ji Liangqi had given her desensitization training, so she could at least filter out the noise to a certain extent and only capture the information she wanted.

She raised her neck slightly and her eyes drifted out of the car window. The withered trees on both sides of the road quickly passed by and almost became one.

The card city is a regular pentagonal city.

The edge was surrounded by a solid wall to form a huge regular pentagon, with twenty-five exits for people to enter and exit. Twenty-two of them were opened during the last beast tide, but without exception, they received the emergency code 999 and were all destroyed.

Moreover, no one seemed to have mentioned reopening the exit channel during the time she had been back. She did not have enough information, so she could not confirm whether the mayor intended to close the card city again, or had secretly dug a new channel but did not tell anyone.

Qingbai District is located in the center of the card city, and the city hall and Dongyu Office are on the same vertical line. Fu Cangzhao had never considered this before, until Yi Chunzhan made things clear just now, she remembered that she had checked the map before and found that the locations of the two places were very subtle.

The bus was getting closer and closer. The city hall building was in sight as the bus passed one stop after another.

She couldn't remember what it was like the last time she came here. Five years had left many traces, but also took away many unpleasant memories.

The only thing she remembered was that the amiable mayor took away her tomb keeper's cloak and death wand. The former was stored in the mayor's office, and the latter was broken down into thirteen parts and hidden in eleven districts of the card city.

The mayor said that only when she is truly ready to fulfill her duties as a tomb keeper and complete her mission, can she go to the city hall to retrieve these items and complete the succession assessment ceremony for the Southern Tomb Keeper.

Fu Cangzhao didn't understand what "prepared" meant. She only knew that the Card City must make up its mind to solve the problem as soon as possible, otherwise it would be too late when the alien army outside approached.

It’s not that she has no confidence in the military power of the Card City, but she is wary of some of the alien species that have traveled through time.

They come from other worlds and may possess special abilities that Card City cannot handle, just like when she first entered the world of immortal cultivation. Even though the masters were highly skilled in martial arts, they could not defend against Qin Yu's abnormally enhanced stealing skills.

"Hello, little girl?" As she was lost in thought, someone suddenly patted her shoulder twice. Fu Cangzhao raised her head and looked towards the source of the voice. A kind old lady was leaning on a cane, looking at her with a smile.

"...Hello." She didn't know how to respond and looked away embarrassedly.

The old lady asked her, "Child, have you encountered any unpleasant things?"

Fu Cangzhao shook his head in confusion: "No."

"If you are not unhappy, then why didn't you have an adult with you and ran away from home?" The old lady looked up and down in doubt and rubbed her messy dark blue hair. "Child, if you are unhappy, you can tell me..."

"I just went to the City Hall to do some business. I'm sorry to have made you worry." Fu Cangzhao smiled, and two blushes appeared on his cheeks, which were particularly conspicuous against his fair skin.

"Oh, I see," the old lady patted her shoulder in relief. "I was wondering which guardian would be so cruel as to let a child like you run around like that!"

"I'm not a kid anymore," Fu Cangzhao tried to retort, "I'll be turning eighteen in two months."

Hearing this, the old lady laughed out loud: "Aren't they still children?"

Fu Cangzhao didn't say anything, he just pulled his scarf up to cover half of his face.

It was not until the bus broadcast reminded her that they had arrived at the City Hall building that she woke up from her dream. She got off the bus as if escaping and walked quickly towards the familiar yet unfamiliar building.

After traveling through so many worlds, and even spending tens of thousands of years in one world, she always thought that she was mature enough, but she didn't expect that the Card City still treated her as a child.

Maybe she is still that stubborn kid.

A stubborn child who never grows up.

In a bustling city, with many people around her, she still stubbornly seeks solitude, as if solitude is the only thing in the world that can accompany her forever.

At the same time, she also longs for care, touch, and warmth.

really weird.

Sometimes she would wonder, since the things she liked conflicted with each other, was there a possibility that her cognition was wrong, and she did not actually want to seek solitude, but what she wanted was contrary to the ideas of most people, which led to the result of "loneliness"?

what is it?

If you ask her what kind of life she wants, she would probably say she wants a world without alien species.

Everyone loves each other and the characters they write, giving them noble births and happy families, instead of creating an environment full of suffering and then directing them to escape from the suffering.

That must be a beautiful, unrealistic dream.

And she wanted her dream to become reality.

In the Card City, it is not difficult to meet the mayor. Just explain your request to the front desk of the City Hall and hand over your ID card.

"Are you sure you want to see the mayor?" The receptionist glanced at Fu Cangzhao with doubt in her heart, but out of professional ethics, she took the ID card without saying a word and entered the information into the QY system.

The QY system is responsible for screening whether the person seeking a meeting is qualified to see the mayor. If so, a special channel will be opened. During the visit, all perceptions must be closed and the person will be escorted to the mayor's office by a special person. After the visit, the perception will also be closed and the person will be taken to a secret exit by another person.

Generally speaking, there are very few people who are judged by the system to be qualified to meet with the mayor alone.

Fu Cangzhao's ID card showed that she was only a fourth-class citizen, but the system gave her the green light immediately.

Now the front desk clerk had more questions in his mind.

Still smiling, he returned the ID card to Fu Cangzhao and motioned for her to wait for the receptionist at the location indicated by the system.

"It's rare to find someone of this level qualified to meet the mayor." The receptionist grumbled inwardly and quietly clicked on the details page of the registration list. Sure enough, she saw five small gray words in a corner: Protective Demotion.

In Cavan again.

Things should be smoother after this period of stuckness.
