Card Master: My Special Feature - Choose One of Three

"If you know it hurts, be more careful next time and don't hurt yourself."

Bai Miao rarely showed his vulnerable side, and Xia Yuebai's eyes reddened, her tone softening.

Lü Dantong opened the box they brought, and inside was a cake from Bai Miao's favorite bakery.

"We bought your favorite cake, strawberry white tea flavor, right?"

She held the cake to her chest, and it swayed with the rise and fall of her chest. The strawberries on top of the cake were brushed with sugar syrup, making them look crystal clear and tempting.

Bai Miao's eyes flashed with a dark golden light, confirming that there were no signs of manipulation on Xia Yuebai and Lü Dantong.

He ate the cake that Lü Dantong fed him; the tea flavor was refreshing, the strawberry flavor sweet, and the subtle tartness was even more enticing.

He ate a small piece of cake from Lü Dantong's hand, and Xia Yuebai took Lü Dantong's arm and led her to say goodbye to Bai Miao.

"His hand isn't injured. If he wants to eat, he can just go to the table and get it himself. I'm hungry, so let's go have dinner."

In the late summer, Yue Bai and Lü Dantong, along with He Changlin and Yan Li, brought dinner from Taichanglou to Bai Miao.

Taichanglou Restaurant generally does not offer takeout food, but only the young master He Changlin could make an exception for it.

Since He Changlin joined the team, Bai Miao's most direct experience has been that his standard of living has improved a lot. He can now eat at restaurants in Yujiang City where the lines are often one or two hours long, and he takes away food almost every day.

Yan Li grew bigger under He Changlin's feeding.

Xia Yuebai and Lü Dantong also noticed the changes in their weight and started eating diet meals.

After finishing their meal, the two went to the training ground for extra practice.

After the two left, Jiao Beiyao pushed open the door and lay down on the sofa.

With Yun Chuxiu and Bai Miao by her side, Jiao Beiyao got a few precious hours of rest.

These few hours are enough for him to have a good time.

As for Bai Miao being stabbed in the abdomen, he didn't think it was because he hadn't protected him properly.

He was there to protect Bai Miao, that's true, but he wasn't there to be Bai Miao's babysitter. His only job was to ensure Bai Miao didn't die.

If you take all the blame for every little injury, you're not here to protect people, you're here to be a dog.

"You still need to train. A stab wound to the abdomen is nothing. I was once turned into a human pig, and I didn't even flinch."

Jiao Beiyao poured herself a glass of water; it's important to stay hydrated afterwards.

"Brother Jiao is amazing," Bai Miao's attitude made Jiao Beiyao feel a little guilty. He tried to make amends by saying, "I'll spar with you another day and teach you a couple of moves."

Because of the appearance of the insect beetle, the Special Operations Bureau sent many agents to Guanshan Road.

On the surface, the residents of Guanshan Road are still eating barbecue, singing songs, and wandering around the alleys in a drunken stupor.

Secret Service agents conducted a thorough search of Guanshan Road for any trace related to Xiao Mingzhe.

In the shadows, a man who looked exactly like the insect beetle stood expressionless under the eaves.

The dim yellow light cast by the streetlamp stopped at his toes, and tiny insects floating in the light fluttered their delicate wings.

"Get away! So many little bugs floating around, it's so annoying!"

Disguised as passersby, members of the Secret Service's intelligence department walked through the alley, passing under the lights, waving their hands to sweep away the insects, whose wings fluttered down like snowflakes.

"The insect swarm we had planted in Yujiang City was activated ahead of time, and the Secret Service agents were aware of our actions in advance."

Insect Beetle usually puts on an act of being all-knowing and all-powerful.

You've messed up the task your master entrusted to you and even left an avatar here. When your master arrives in Yujiang City, you'll be punished.

We have a contract with our master. No matter how many incarnations you create, our master will know exactly what you do.

Don't even think about escaping punishment.

The air was filled with a cloyingly sweet, powdery scent, and a woman with moth-like wings on her back appeared beside the insect carapace at some point.

The woman's voice was flippant and gloating, clearly indicating that she didn't get along well with the insect beetle.

"Our master has learned of the situation in Yujiang City and will arrive there ahead of schedule. We need to establish faith in Yujiang City as soon as possible before our master arrives."

The Yujiang City authorities have discovered the strategy of manipulating the emotions of its residents to control individual agents and develop their faith.

We need to use new methods to develop faith for our masters.

Before that, we need to kill someone.

The insect's tone remained calm, and the woman knew this was not the insect's true intention. The insect had divided itself into countless individuals, each with its own independent way of thinking.

Insect beetles combine information collected from different individuals with the results of their independent thinking, and then select the most suitable reactions and thoughts from them.

Given such a large amount of computation, Insect A chose to delete emotional expressions in order to avoid being slow to react.

"Who should we kill?"

Women are curious, and insects, who rely on extensive thinking, tend to propose methods that are based on the whole rather than on a specific individual.

Unless the individual is extremely dangerous.

"Bai Miao, Captain of the Sixth Team of the Special Operations Department, Second-Rank Card Master."

"A second-tier card master? You're kidding me." The woman covered her mouth and laughed so hard that her body trembled, and specks of Rinse powder drifted down from her wings.

The sweet, cloying smell in the air intensified, and even the walls became somewhat slippery.

Insect Armor remained expressionless. He did not refute the woman, but simply stared at her blankly.

"You're not kidding, are you? Then I'll go and kill him for you."

Seeing that the insect was not joking at all, the woman became more cautious.

"Moth, be careful, this second-tier card master is not simple."

Before the moth left, the beetle called out to her.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

The cloying sweetness gradually faded, leaving a lingering sweet aroma in the Secret Service medical ward.

"I'm going out for a bit, don't leave the ward."

Jiao Beiyao, who was lying on the sofa browsing dating apps, put her phone in her pocket, walked to the window, jumped down from the windowsill, and closed the open window to shut out the strange smell.

Bai Miao activated [Shared Vision], and the thread of fate belonging to Jiao Beiyao shone brightly in his eyes.

This ball of fate, like a light bulb, collided with a ball of fate shaped like a moth.

The Silver Swift, parked in the Secret Service garage, sensed its master's call and roared to life with its engine.

The exhaust pipe ignited psionic flames, and the silver light transformed into a streak of silver light as it raced through the Secret Service.

"That's Officer Jiao's Han Yin! What's going on? The Han Yin is running wildly on its own, without anyone driving it!"

To the astonishment of the Secret Service agents, Han Yin lifted its heavy front end and soared into the sky.

Jiao Beiyao met Han Yin in mid-air, one hand supporting himself on the back of the chair, the man and the car becoming one.

[Mithril Manipulation], activated.

The body of the silver car body was disassembled piece by piece, turning into mithril parts engraved with runes. All the parts were then rearranged and reassembled into a giant hammer.

Jiao Beiyao swung his giant hammer and smashed it into the air, unleashing a massive moth-like monster large enough to cover the entire Special Operations Bureau.
