My Stubborn Soul Card Follower-Chapter 497 - 401: Purging the Intruders (4K)

"Hmm, hmm, understood." Wang Ming held the phone, nodding repeatedly, "I’ll arrange it immediately."

With that, Wang Ming hung up and looked up at Shen Sui, asking, "Yuan Youxin, do you know him?"

"The Fish King?" Tan Song blurted out Yuan Youxin’s nickname instinctively.

Clearly possessing the skills of a professional player, yet stubbornly staying in amateur competitions to win prize money cheaply.

Many suspected he secretly had dealings with amateur competition organizers, splitting the prize money proportionally, essentially hired by organizers to reduce their prize payout.

Shen Sui nodded. Because he had recalled Yuan Youxin due to World No. 5, he wasn’t as surprised when Wang Ming mentioned him.

"He’s had an accident and was sent to the hospital," Wang Ming said, "He’s now in a deep coma."

Shen Sui furrowed his brows.

Although he had no contact with Yuan Youxin in the real world, they had clashed in two duels.

However, for card players, one or two duels sometimes forge a friendship-like rapport.

Of course, Shen Sui’s relationship with Yuan Youxin wasn’t that close, and due to the first duel, there was some friction between them. But Yuan Youxin wasn’t like Zhou Keji; he genuinely loved Life Card Duels, so Shen Sui didn’t overly criticize him.

Hearing that Yuan Youxin was in trouble and in a coma, and given it was Wang Ming who mentioned it, Shen Sui guessed some things: "Has the incident escalated?"

"Yes." Wang Ming replied, "Yuan Youxin was unaware the Exploration Bureau had handled similar incidents. When he discovered someone attempting to invade this world, he tried to stop it on his own."

"He indeed suppressed the outbreak to some extent. The invasion of the real world by World No. 5 began over a month ago," Wang Ming quickly told Shen Sui. "According to information Yuan Youxin conveyed before falling unconscious, many Life Card Masters from World No. 5 have been possessed by those entities; they’re lurking among people, seemingly waiting for an opportunity."

"Is there really something like this?" Tan Song, having never formally encountered such incidents, was especially shocked.

However, he quickly shut his mouth.

By the logic of the normal world, this kind of thing should theoretically be absolutely confidential. As a professional agent of the Exploration Bureau, Wang Ming would never disclose such matters in this setting.

The only possibility is that he, or the Exploration Bureau, thought he needed to know about this.

Wang Ming paused for a moment, then continued, "According to Yuan Youxin, the best way to deal with this situation is to identify these possessed individuals. A single duel and victory can expel the soul out of the Life Card Master’s body."

At this point, Wang Ming gave Shen Sui a meaningful look.

Shen Sui understood his implication. This method was similar to the duel he had with Feng Lindu, but this time it was proven to be mandatory.

"World No. 5 was previously a martial arts-themed Soul Card World," Wang Ming straightforwardly stated the main point, "Most people in this country have a martial arts complex, so World No. 5 has a considerable number of Life Card Masters. We need a lot of manpower for such operations."

Reaching this point, Wang Ming also laid out the main purpose: "There are many Life Card Masters from World No. 5 among those participating in the Huashan Invitation Tournament. Although most have been eliminated, they remain near Huashan to watch. Exploration Bureau agents are currently identifying these Life Card Masters, and I need your help to drive away the Otherworld souls occupying the Life Card Masters’ bodies."

"No problem." Xinyuan Tanchun agreed first, "I currently have plenty of time."

"Shouldn’t we notify other countries about this?" You Wenqi suddenly asked, "As far as I know, there are also many Life Card Masters from World No. 5 in other countries, especially near Huaxia."

Addressing this, Wang Ming looked exceptionally troubled.

"Don’t mention it, we notified other countries’ Exploration Bureaus as soon as possible," Wang Ming said. "But instead of being worried, they asked if the situation is really that serious. It’s been over a month, and the other side hasn’t shown any malice towards this world. It seems like it doesn’t even need to be addressed... Their casual, indifferent attitude infuriated Director Zhang, who went back to get another IV drip on the spot."

"Because no tangible interests are harmed, they don’t feel the seriousness of the situation?" Tan Song hit the nail on the head.

This notice, from a certain perspective, was the first shot breaking the tacit silence. Before this, although exploration bureaus worldwide vaguely sensed the existence of the Extraordinary Invasion, they silently maintained a mutual understanding of silence.

Due to the invasion of World No. 5, Zhang Fang was the first to break this silence, imagining gaining global attention and undertaking corresponding processes. He even wrote the handling methods for similar invasion incidents in the notification email. However, the response he received was shocking.

It can even be foreseen that some countries will deliberately make contact with these invaders to gain benefits for themselves.

How could Zhang Fang not be enraged?

"Forcibly occupying the bodies of Life Card Masters without their consent shouldn’t be tolerated just because it hasn’t harmed the real world," Wang Ming said angrily, "Their attitude is immensely disrespectful to those Life Card Masters who have been occupied."
