I open the card pool all over the universe

Ke Jin struggled in the card making room for a while, and finally gave up trying to make cards by himself, and turned around to go to the card renewal room.

The layout of the "continuing card room" is similar to that of the card making room. It is also a desk and a shelf.However, on the wall facing the desk, there are quicksand bottles of the same shape, which are a bit like the display screens on the wall in the monitoring room.

During the drawing process, all kinds of cards in the card pool will have energy loss, which will be reflected in the "card quicksand bottle" in the renewal room.Each quicksand bottle represents a card. Once the quicksand in the quicksand bottle disappears, when someone draws out this card, they will see a blank card. Only when the quicksand is added can the card be displayed. content.

Ke Jin currently only has three types of snack cards in the card pool, so only three of the quicksand bottles on the wall have been lit, and more than half of the quicksand inside has been consumed, especially the bottle of "Animal Biscuit", because it was drawn out For the SSR card, the consumption of quicksand is significantly larger than the other two.

Compared with the card making room, Ke Jin is more familiar with the card renewal room, because Uno has drawn out several SSR cards before the opening, and part of the energy in the quicksand bottle of the cards was lost. card operation.

He sat down in front of the desk familiarly, and three types of cards immediately appeared in front of him.Ke Jin chose "Animal Biscuit", the phantom disappeared, and several blank cards and a colored pen appeared on the desk.

Ke Jin picked up a blank card and turned it over to the back—different from the blank front, the back of the card was printed with some dense lines, which looked like an integrated circuit board at first glance.What Ke Jin has to do is to draw along these lines with the pen connected to the crystal sand pool.

It sounds simple, but in this process, if any stroke is wrong, the entire card will be invalidated immediately, and the crystal sand energy consumed will not be returned.Before Ke Jin renewed his card, because he was a novice with no experience, he wasted more than half of the energy in the crystal sand pool to barely finish drawing a card. Fortunately, the system gave him several opportunities to "fill up the crystal sand pool for free" and he still didn't use it. , otherwise I will really feel distressed to death.

This time the card quicksand bottles need to replenish much more energy than before. Ke Jin rolled up his sleeves and prepared to stay up all afternoon and add another night to refill all the quicksand bottles in one go!

Bai Fan went back to Rainbow City with his father that afternoon, and when he got home, it was already dinner time.

Mother had prepared a delicious meal at home early, and the father and son sat down at the dining table, and Bai Fan instinctively glanced at the empty seat opposite.

"Yuyou has already eaten in advance." The understanding mother saw her son's thoughts, and explained with a smile, "She seems to be in a good mood today, and she is playing in the room. You can go and see her after dinner."

Bai Fan nodded.

During the meal, the father gently told his wife what he had seen and heard about the trip to Qixing City. The woman listened with a smile and brought vegetables for her husband and son from time to time.Even if Bai Fan didn't say a word during this period, the atmosphere on the table was still warm and harmonious. Anyone who looked at it looked like a family full of warmth and affection.

in case……

Bai Fan's eyes moved from his loving parents to the empty seat opposite, and a sigh flashed in his cold eyes.

How wonderful it would be if...that incident hadn't happened back then.

***

After dinner and helping his mother clean up the kitchen, Bai Fan went upstairs.

He walked along the corridor to the end and stopped at the door of the room decorated with flower stickers.The door was ajar, and he knocked habitually, but naturally there was no response.After waiting for a while, the young man gently opened the door and walked in.

The headlights were not turned on in the room, the curtains were tightly drawn, and only a desk lamp placed on the floor gave off a soft light.A cute girl was sitting barefoot on a soft carpet, and in front of her was a large pile of children's building block toys that did not match her age. Didn't look at it.

Suddenly a small building block fell from the building block castle being built, and just rolled into Bai Fan's hand.The girl turned her head a bit dullly, unable to find where the missing building blocks were for a while, her originally peaceful expression suddenly became a little anxious.

"Don't worry, it's here." Bai Fan picked up the small green building block, spread his palm and handed it to his sister.

The girl immediately calmed down, and her expression returned to numbness.She took back the building blocks without saying a word, without even looking at the young man, and continued to immerse herself in her toy world.

"Yuyou, is today's dinner delicious?" Bai Fan reached out and touched the girl's head, "Mom said you ate a lot because of your favorite green peppers."

The girl turned a deaf ear and just moved her body slightly, as if she didn't like the feeling of being touched by others.

Bai Fan sighed lightly.

— This situation has been going on for six or seven years.

In fact, they didn't know what happened. At that time, Bai Fan had just entered high school, and Yoyo was less than ten years old. Once she went out to play with her friends, and she didn't come home very late. Later, her parents went out anxiously to find her. , and called the police, and finally found Bai Youyou unconscious in a small abandoned park in the suburbs.

No one knows how a nine-year-old girl suddenly crossed the entire urban area and ran to the suburbs. No clues were found after calling the road surveillance. In a state of autism, he doesn't communicate with anyone, only immersed in his own world, and his expression is numb, completely different from the lively and cheerful appearance in the past.

The family tried a lot of methods, including seeing all the doctors available, and even went to other planets, but they couldn't diagnose why the girl became like this, let alone cure her.

Later, the relatives who still work in the Kachi Bureau of the neighboring city heard about this incident, and quietly told Bai Fan and his family: Could this situation of Yoyo be affected by the "devil king" incident back then?

When Bai Youyou's accident happened, Bilan Planet was actually not peaceful, but ordinary people didn't know about it - at that time, they only knew that the Federation galaxy suddenly discovered "No. Galaxies, as long as they are developed reasonably, are beneficial and harmless to both the government and the public.

However, what happened afterwards was unexpected by many people—in the fourth year after the discovery of "Galaxy No. 13", a war broke out between the twelve galaxies of the Federation. large-scale war.This war lasted for a full ten years, and six heads of the original twelve galaxies were killed, with a loss rate of one-half, which can be described as a heavy loss.

Officials of each galaxy have never given a clear explanation as to why this interstellar war broke out and why it ended suddenly.The Blue Star belongs to the Aquarius Galaxy, one of the twelve galaxies. Because the planet is located in a remote location, the flames of war did not reach here at the time, but... this is just an appearance.

In the eighth year of the Ten Years' War, that is, the year when Yoyo's accident occurred, a group of unexpected guests suddenly came to the card pool bureau in Qixing City.Their identities were beyond everyone's expectation—they turned out to be military members of the top three galaxies among the twelve galaxies of the Federation.

Moreover, they are not at odds with each other like the front-line war broadcasts. Although it can be seen that there is a rift between them, they are still in a cooperative state.According to this group of soldiers, they are chasing a person, who they call the "devil king", and the identity of the other party is a card envoy, who needs the assistance of the local card pool bureau.

Naturally, no one dared to ask about the actions of the military. This group of people stayed here for about a month. During this period, there were frequent accidents in Qixing City. The most serious one was that a 40-storey building suddenly collapsed at night, causing many There were casualties. Afterwards, the official announced that the cause of the accident was a large-scale rupture of the underground pipeline, which caused the building's foundation to be unstable, so the collapse occurred.

Ordinary people have no doubts about him, and the people in the Kachi Bureau are not stupid. They can figure out with their toes that these accidents must be related to the "hunt for the devil". Privately known as the "Demon King Period".

A month later, the military personnel left quietly. No one knew whether they had caught the "devil king". In the past six or seven years, it has changed from the original fame to the current obscurity.

This incident seems to have nothing to do with Bai Youyou's illness, but the Bai family is concerned.Because when they took Yoyo to an alien planet for medical treatment, a doctor once said.

——It is possible that your child...was injured by a supernatural card.

There is almost no ability card pool on Azure Star, and a few of them are firmly controlled by the government. It is impossible for ability cards to appear in the folks easily, so Bai Fan's parents didn't take it seriously at first.

But after hearing about the "devil king", the situation is quite different.

Qixing City and Rainbow City are very close, and ability cards are a kind of war resource. Almost everyone in the military has some. If someone accidentally injured Bai Youyou during the arrest operation, it is entirely possible.

It's just that after so long, the truth is hard to find.There are thousands of types of ability cards, and their functions are different. It is impossible to tell which one hurt Bai Youyou.

For this reason, Bai Fan applied for the Card Master Academy after graduating from high school. He failed to awaken as a Card Master, but he could enter this field that he had never set foot in as a Card Master.Bai Fan thought, as long as he sees enough and travels far enough, one day, he will be able to find the power card that caused his sister to fall into this strange disease. As long as he knows the cause, he will not be far from curing Yoyo. .

Thinking of this, Bai Fan gently patted his sister's head again. The girl still responded indifferently, but focused on building blocks.

Bai Fan sighed softly and got up to leave, but suddenly thought of something and sat down again.

He took out a golden card from his body, it was the SSR card he drew from the newly opened snack card pool in Seven Star City in the morning.

Bai Fan's card reader is a built-in type. He held the card with his fingertips, and said the command silently in his heart. A star-like fluorescent blue light instantly enveloped the entire card. Bai Fan threw the card on the ground, and the light When it was all gone, a beautifully packaged biscuit barrel appeared in front of it—exactly the same as the pattern on the front of the card.

The young man opened the biscuit barrel, and a smell of freshly baked pastries rushed over his face. Even after dinner, every cell in Bai Fan's body was clamoring for him to taste a piece immediately.He involuntarily took out a small animal biscuit from the biscuit bucket. This biscuit is a very cute cartoon bunny image. It is golden in color and has a little milky fragrance. It looks soft and delicious, and it looks delicious.

Bai Fan turned his head, and was surprised to find that his sister, who would not respond no matter what he did, actually stopped assembling the building blocks at this moment, and turned her head to stare blankly at the biscuit in his hand.

"Want to try it, Yoyo?" Bai Fan handed the biscuit to his sister.

The girl's expression was still a little numb, she slowly picked up the biscuit, put it to her mouth and took a bite, then took another bite, her eyes narrowed slightly with pleasure.

Seeing that the other party seemed to like to eat, Bai Fan quickly took out a lot more and held them all in front of the girl.Bai Youyou didn't refuse either, and picked up the next one after eating one. I don't know if it was because of the lighting problem, but Bai Fan always felt that the expression of his sister who was concentrating on eating biscuits seemed to be softer and more vivid.

"Is it delicious?" Bai Fan couldn't help asking with a smile when he saw that the other party was eating deliciously.

"...Well, it's delicious."

Bai Fan was stunned.

He looked in surprise at the girl in front of him who was still eating the biscuit with her head down, and felt that her heartbeat seemed to stop at this moment.

He... what did he hear?

My sister just... Did you talk to him just now?

"It's the first time I've eaten such a delicious biscuit." Maybe it's because I haven't spoken for a long time, or maybe it's because the biscuit is still stuffed in her mouth. He began to smile sweetly at Bai Fan.

"Brother, try it too, it's really delicious."

With a sound of "bang dang", the sound of the water glass breaking was heard outside the door. Bai Fan raised his head and saw his mother standing at the door covering her mouth. Her eyes gradually filled with tears, and she rushed in and hugged the girl tightly in her arms. I can't cry.

"Mother?"

The girl looked blankly at her mother who hugged her tightly and burst into tears, and then looked at her brother in confusion.

"Brother, mom... what's wrong with her?"

Looking at his younger sister who regained the ability to communicate, and even her eyes became clear and bright again, for some reason, a picture suddenly flashed in Bai Fan's mind——

That was the line of mysterious text that he saw on the back of the card when he just took out the snack SSR card in the morning.

——[Good luck, wish fulfilled].
