Chapter 1049: Chapter 593: Still Want to Escape After Meeting Alice? (3)

Afterwards, he was taken away by the Exploration Bureau for investigation. It seems he was announced to have retired later, and Shen Sui never heard more about him after that.

However, the fairy tale deck he left behind made a deep impression on Shen Sui.

Shen Sui originally thought he would see Chen Weimin at Qin Mengxin’s house, given that Life Card Masters need to be in constant contact with their Soul Cards.

But that wasn’t the case. Qin Mengxin is already an adult and rented a house on her own, and Alice didn’t encounter anyone else there.

Of course, Shen Sui soon saw Chen Weimin.

[Someone knocked on the door, and Alice glanced at Qin Mengxin, who was preparing food in the kitchen. She slipped on slippers and ran to open the door.]

[A middle-aged man stood at the door, holding a bag of fruit.]

[When he saw Alice, he was clearly stunned for a moment and instinctively said, "Alice?"]

[Alice tilted her head in confusion, wondering how this stranger knew her name.]

["Mr. Chen?" Qin Mengxin heard the commotion outside, poked her head out from the kitchen, and said happily upon seeing the visitor, "You’re here!"]

You see, speak of the devil and he shall appear.

Chen Weimin had dueled with Shen Sui and had seen Alice’s image on the field, so when he saw Alice, he recognized her immediately.

Qin Mengxin did not tell Chen Weimin about Alice’s origins, only saying that she was a friend she met online who came to visit in person.

In the world of Dream Seekers, extraordinary powers are unknown to the public, so Qin Mengxin was clearly keeping it hidden from Chen Weimin.

Then it was just ordinary family talk.

From Chen Weimin’s behavior, he obviously didn’t know that Qin Mengxin had acquired the Dream Seeker’s power in her dream.

It’s understandable; though Life Card Masters are said to be fully aware of their Soul Cards, it requires their perspective to always follow the Soul Card.

Given Chen Weimin’s status as merely a neighbor to Qin Mengxin, it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to follow her around all the time. Moreover, considering Qin Mengxin was watched growing up by Chen Weimin, if he really followed her all the time, Shen Sui might judge him immediately.

However, Shen Sui recalled Chen Weimin’s performance during the duel.

Undoubtedly, he has a lot of affection for Qin Mengxin, akin to paternal love.

Should he use Alice to tell Chen Weimin about Qin Mengxin’s situation?

In fact, Shen Sui didn’t need to remind anyone.

Those who become Life Card Masters, even if their world seems devoid of extraordinary powers, have some awareness of them from seeing their fellow practitioners’ experiences.

When Alice appeared in front of Chen Weimin, he mostly understood what was happening with Qin Mengxin.

["Take good care of Xiao Xin for me." Mr. Chen said earnestly to Alice as he left, "Don’t let her be in any danger, please..."]

Shen Sui knew that this was said for his ears.

[Alice was just about to respond when she suddenly sensed something and looked up sharply.]

[A magic staff quickly appeared in her hand.]

[A brute force swept across the entirety of the building.]

[Along with the sound of the building being cut apart, the entire skyscraper, apart from the parts protected by Alice’s magic power, collapsed uncontrollably under the pull of gravity.]

[A massive demon, baring its teeth, gazed upon the scene within the building.]

[Suddenly exposed to the outdoors, the strong windstorm blew everything in the room into disarray.]

[The demon from the dream had invaded reality.]

[Ding! You have obtained the Event Card: Demon Arrival]
