Strange Cards

Chapter 43 Stealing the Young Master?

"With a population of billions in the country, you're telling me the Hunters only have fewer than thirty people?"

"Those are just our main combat hunters; if you include the research hunters, there are only about forty of them."

"Is it really that bad?"

Liu An chuckled softly and then pressed a button on the center console.

Instantly, a section in the middle of the back seat collapsed, revealing the refrigerator behind it.

"Just grab something to drink, we have fruit juice and other beverages."

After giving Bai Yu a bottle of orange juice, Shi Yu took a bottle of soda for herself. At this moment, Liu An looked ahead and spoke calmly.

"The hunters used to be quite large, with about a hundred people."

"However, their fighting style is not like ours, where we can use card weapons or evolution devices to fight the supernatural."

"They more often choose to make contracts with the supernatural, temporarily gaining supernatural power by consuming their own life force."

"Then, after discovering that using strange powers would cause one's life to be lost, the chief hunter issued an order to stop this aspect entirely, which is why there are not many of us hunters left."

"However, we hunters are all top-notch madmen. Anyone who can get in will become incredibly strong within a few months."

"Oo?"

"Even if the cards themselves aren't strong, once your hunting becomes unpredictable enough, your strength will naturally increase even without any special skills."

"However, we still have to fight those otherworlders, but they're relatively well-behaved and don't dare to cause any trouble in our country."

"Moreover, without exception, all those scientific researchers are geniuses, geniuses among geniuses."

Shi Yu's curiosity was completely piqued, and even Bai Yu perked up her cat ears to listen.

"I'll tell you something from recent years, and you can ask Dr. Guan Yun for the rest."

"Quantum space collapse pulse, this thing was even secretly transported outside the solar system before they dared to experiment with it."

"The result was that seven asteroids were directly destroyed, which also affected a large area of ​​the galaxy."

"According to their measurements at the time, our planet could probably withstand three quantum space collapse pulses. If it were used again, it could trigger the forces within the Earth's core, leading to a catastrophe."

"My precious little brother."

"The hunters' technology has surpassed the times, and it can even be said that it has left the entire world far behind."

"If war really breaks out again, we are the real father. With the limited nuclear weapons they have, we have more than three ways to intercept them or even detonate them directly in their nuclear silos."

"Hunter Tech, kid."

"Wouldn't such a weapon of mass destruction be against nature and morality?"

"As long as it doesn't harm the Republic, that's fine. Besides, that thing wasn't even intended to be used on a continental battlefield. Otherwise, it wouldn't just be a mass of dead people; it would be the death of entire nations."

As they talked, they arrived at the Hunter's Base. Liu An took off Bai Yu's hat and put it away.

"Besides us few living people, there are only robots in the Hunter Base, so she doesn't need to hide here."

"Let's go, the boss and the others should be signing the papers."

Liu An led the two through a maze of turns to a secret room. After signing the document and pressing his fingerprint on the inkpad, Liu An took Bai Yu's hand and walked to the side.

"Sign it."

Shi Yu slowly wrote her own name after Liu An's, and then followed their example by pressing a bright red fingerprint on her finger.

After examining the items again, Qi Wu took out a small box, carefully placed it inside, and began preparing for the next task.

"hello."

Shi Yu looked in the direction of the sound and saw Gong Long, who was about to be executed, but found that there was no pain on his face.

"You're a real man."

Thank you, and may your future be smooth sailing.

At that moment, a mechanical arm emerged, holding a gun in its hand.

After another robotic arm extended from the other side, it inserted a needle containing anesthetic into Gong Long's arm, and Gong Long instantly felt that he had no strength left.

"There will be no pain, and it will end instantly."

Shi Yu comforted him from the side, while Gong Long could only muster the last of his strength to force a smile before calmly facing death.

Shigure turned her head away, and at that moment, a barely perceptible gunshot rang out.

After the gunshot, Gong Long's smile froze completely, and the floor below slowly opened, swallowing Gong Long's corpse.

"He will undergo purification, cremation, and then his ashes will be returned to his family in the afterlife."

"how?"

"I don't feel well."

"You'll get used to it, kid."

At the very moment the gun went off, Liu An immediately covered Bai Yu's eyes to prevent her from seeing anything she shouldn't have.

Bai Yu's cat-like nose only caught a faint whiff of blood before it quickly disappeared. By the time she opened her eyes again, Gong Long's body had already been disposed of.

Just as Shi Yu was about to leave with Bai Yu, Qi Wu patted Shi Yu on the shoulder and said...

"Don't leave tonight, come with us on a mission."

"What mission?"

"The S-class ghost hidden in the haunted house at the South China Sea Amusement Park."

"S-rank? Wasn't it only A-rank when I went yesterday?"

"It evolved just last night..."

Shi Yu looked at Qi Wu, who had an embarrassed expression, and then at the other three people who also looked embarrassed, and she understood what had happened.

"Sister Liu An, I'd like to ask you to take care of my cat Nizi tonight."

"Don't worry, the little guy will sleep with me tonight."

The group began discussing tactics in the conference room. After helping Dr. Guan Yun research some of the projects in the afternoon, Shi Yu went into the gravity chamber to prepare for the night's operation.

The conditions were exactly the same as when Shigure first entered the gravity chamber, except that this time Shigure was able to force herself back to her room, take a shower, and then collapse onto her bed.

After Shiyu rested for two hours, Liu An brought some food to Shiyu's room and woke her up.

"Wake up, it's time to go."

Liu An gently shook Shi Yu awake, but Bai Yu grabbed Shi Yu and shook her around until she was fully awake.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

"You haven't had dinner yet. Don't rush, eat something first."

Liu An handed over the sandwich in his hand, and Shi Yu ate a few bites haphazardly before going to the conference room.

Meanwhile, Qi Wu and his three companions in the conference room had completed their basic armaments and were just one step away from being fully armed by inserting the Mysterious Token.
