Strange Cards

Chapter 21 Let it pass

"Anything produced by Hunter is guaranteed to be of the highest quality."

Shi Yu propped herself up with one hand and sprang up, and just then Qi Wu's voice came through her earphones.

"Shigure, did you find anything there?"

Why does my goggles show your position constantly changing and moving?

Shigure wielded his strange blade, parrying the attacks of the man and the monster, while simultaneously facing Qi Wudao.

"Nothing much, we just found some guys over here."

"You've found the killer? Where is he? We're on our way."

"The one in front of me is still fighting."

"Coming, coming, almost there! Hang in there!"

After hanging up the call, Qi Wu waved to Yu Yan and then connected the communication with Li Shun and Da Niu, heading towards the high-rise building where Shi Yu was.

Gong Long and Gangzhao Gui also heard Shi Yu's voice, and their attacks became even more intense.

As Shigure parried the strange blades and repelled the man and the monster, she pulled out a gun from behind her and threw it directly to Gonglong.

"This is a tranquilizer gun. Although it won't kill you, the tranquilizer dart inside can keep you in a daze for about five minutes."

"It will take the boss and the others at least ten minutes to get upstairs. Now you have a choice."

"Do you choose to fight me to the death and wait for the boss and his men to come up and capture you, or do you take the tranquilizer gun and shoot me now, and take advantage of the time it takes for the boss and his men to come up here to avenge your daughter?"

"Hunter, why did you do this?"

Just as Steel Claw Ghost was about to attack, Gong Long reached out and stopped him, looking at Shi Yu with distrust in his eyes.

"You only have one minute left to consider, now you only have thirty seconds left."

"That gun was created using the power of my Mysterious Card. It will disappear in thirty seconds, and you will have no choice but to fight me to the death."

After thinking for a long time, Gong Long still chose to pick up the tranquilizer gun and aim it at Shi Yu.

"Don't point it at my head. It won't kill me, but it will make me very uncomfortable."

After firing a shot into Shi Yu's left shoulder, Gong Long threw the gun on the ground. Before leaving, he turned to Shi Yu and said something.

"Thank you........"

"Besides the cop who answered my police report that day..."

"The only two people who ever helped me."

The shot hit Shigure's frequently injured left shoulder, and Shigure forced a smile despite the pain.

"Although I can't control you, I still hope you won't kill innocent people indiscriminately."

"Revenge should be directed at those who have harmed you in the past; otherwise, your actions will breed new hatred, which will continue from generation to generation."

"I understand, thank you very much."

Gong Long, carrying the steel claw, turned and jumped off the high-rise building. At that moment, the anesthetic began to take effect, and Shi Yu collapsed to the ground, powerless.

However, Shigure's Ace of Spades did not deactivate. After reconstructing several objects to make Shigure lie on the ground and feel somewhat more comfortable, he asked in confusion.

"You're just going to let them go like that? Aren't you afraid those hunters will come after you?"

"The worst thing for me is that I can't accept the chemotherapy from the hunters, anyway, I don't know how long I can live."

"At worst, I'll take you with me to find and kill those monsters, so you can regain your strength and slowly cure my cancer. How long you live is entirely up to fate."

"You're pretty easygoing, aren't you?"

A chuckled, while Shigure spoke in a nonchalant tone.

"I had already embraced death when I was six years old, and I have no attachments in this world, so I don't care."

"The worst outcome is death, of course. Someone like me, who doesn't even know if anyone will cry for me after I die, why would I be afraid of what happens after I die?"

"I might even be glad that those stray dogs gnawed on my corpse, letting them have a good meal."

"I don't have enough to hold me in this world, but I still want to do everything I can to help everyone."

"You've already gotten soaked in the rain, and you're already thinking about holding an umbrella for others? Haven't you thought about yourself?"

"I stopped thinking about it the moment I received the cancer diagnosis."

"Tch, good people don't live long anyway, so what difference does it make if one of you dies?"

Shigure smiled, and just then the tranquilizer dart reached its peak effectiveness, leaving Shigure with no strength left to even speak.

Soon a sound came from the stairwell. Shiyu tried his best to turn his head but found that he couldn't do anything. It was only after A made two bricks on his face that he was able to turn his head.

"Shigure!"

Qi Wu quickly ran over, and when he saw Shi Yu, who was limp all over, his first thought was that all the bones in Shi Yu's body had been broken.

But when he turned his head, he saw the tranquilizer dart on Shigure's left shoulder. After pulling it out, he took out a small medicine box from the lining of his combat uniform.

Qi Wu poured out a pill and placed it under Shi Yu's tongue. Soon after, Shi Yu felt her strength gradually returning.

"Are you alright? Are you hurt?"

Shi Yu managed to stand up, but when she tried to stand up, she found that her legs were still a little weak. It was only with Da Niu and Li Shun supporting one of her arms that she was able to stand up.

"It's okay. I originally wanted to use a tranquilizer dart to subdue the murderer directly, but he snatched it and subdued me instead. I'm so embarrassed."

"It's alright. It's already quite impressive that you were able to hold off an A-rank monster and someone with a strange card for so long on your first mission."

"But next time, remember to let us know in advance and try not to go it alone."

Li Shun chimed in with his glib tongue.

"Yes, yes, after all, the great Mr. Zhou Shuren once said that."

"If we can gang up on them, we won't fight one-on-one. If they can call in more people, then we'll call in even more."

Did Zhou Shuren (Lu Xun) actually say this?

Yu Yan's eyes held the innocent naiveté unique to college students. After trying to remember for a while and finding that she couldn't, she simply started searching using the AI ​​on her goggles.

"Let's go down first. Even if we go now, we won't be able to catch up anyway, so let's just slow down."

Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing Qi Wu's words. Li Shun and Da Niu even put Shi Yu's arm on their shoulders and slowly lowered her down.

Like a silly girl, Yu Yan pulled out another bottle of AD calcium milk from somewhere and started drinking it.

Qi Wu calmly lit a cigarette and walked downstairs.

When everyone rushed back to the vicinity of the operating room, they found that a ward outside the operating room was covered in blood, with blood and pieces of flesh flowing everywhere.

Fortunately, the corpses inside were all dressed in the clothes of high-ranking officials and nobles, with no ordinary people or nurses' clothes mixed in with the limbs and pieces of flesh.
