Strange Cards

Chapter 68 Smoke and Clouds

"Hey, Tsubaki, have you gotten any information about that child?"

The girl stood on the high-rise building, holding her phone and watching the direction where Shigure and the others had left.

"Let me remind you again, my name is Chun, and Ya is the nickname my eldest brother used to call me when I was a child."

"Oh, it's nothing serious, did you get it?"

Chun rolled her eyes at the phone, annoyed, and then said.

"Got it. I didn't expect that Shiyu, who was comparable to Qi Wu of the Southern Hunter Base in terms of combat strength in the danger assessment, was actually a pitiful child."

"If you're not coming back now, just let me know. I just happened to have some pork head meat and two cans of beer here."

Chun took out a paper document and said.

"This child was found outside Nanhai City when he was six years old. He looked like he had suffered serious injuries and his clothes were tattered."

"After failing to find the child's parents, the cops sent the child to the Morning Star Welfare Home in Nanhai City, where he lived until he was eight years old."

"When he was eight years old, the orphanage went out of business and the child was assigned to live in a slum, where he lived for six years."

"And this child has actually killed someone."

The person on the other end of the phone was clearly intrigued. After stuffing a mouthful of pork head meat into their mouth and taking a swig of beer, they said...

"A man who only speaks halfway through his sentence will have a son who is barren."

Chun retorted irritably.

"I'm not having kids! Just wait until your wife gives birth to a dozen or twenty big, fat boys and wears you out. You'll never have a daughter in your life!"

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around."

Chun opened the file and looked at the photo of the person who had been stabbed seven times.

"The boy was about thirteen years old. An old bachelor was watching the boy and wanted to do something bad."

"After knocking them unconscious with a stick, they put them in a sack and took them back to their home."

"And just as that old bachelor was undressing the boy and preparing to do his thing, he didn't notice that Shigure had woken up and was holding a folding knife in his hand."

"Then, just as the old bachelor was about to get down to business, the kid suddenly attacked, stabbing the old bachelor in the heart three times and slashing his neck four times."

"Every strike is a fatal wound? How can a thirteen-year-old child have such a strong fighting spirit?"

"And how did he hide that knife?"

Chun flipped through the documents and said indifferently.

"According to the subsequent examination report, that blow didn't hurt Shiyu that badly. The kid had already woken up when he was covered with a sack."

"My personal feeling is that he had that knife on his person long ago, and maybe he secretly hid it in his mouth in a sack."

"After all, there are even more despicable people in those places besides filthy ones, and a thirteen-year-old has to find ways to protect himself."

"And that old bachelor actually made Shigure lie face down, giving Shigure the opportunity to take out his knife."

As Chun spoke, she sat on the edge of the tall building, her two long, fair legs dangling and swaying, her twin ponytails dancing in the wind.

"Pretty good. If this kid hadn't joined the Hunters, his fighting spirit would definitely have pulled him into the Otherworlders. He's really terrifying."

"To be honest, I quite like this kid too. In other words, he's a born killer."

"Chun, this child should be almost eighteen, while you're not even seventeen yet."

"Get lost! I'm already eighteen!"

"My eldest brother insists on treating me like a child, saying I'm not even 18 yet and there's nothing I can do about it."

As Chun spoke, she looked at the sun in the sky and then fanned herself.

"Alright, there's no point in saying anything more. I'm dying of heat in this weather. I'll talk to you when I get back."

As she spoke, Chun jumped off the tall building, causing gasps of surprise from the crowd below.

"Did someone jump off a building?"

"Get out of the way, do you want to get crushed to death by that guy?!"

"Get out of the way! Your clothes will be splattered with blood!"

However, Chun turned into a wisp of black smoke during her fall, which was then dispersed by a sudden gust of wind.

...........

After taking a nap in the afternoon, Shigure and Baiyu went to the gravity room to start training.

This time it was some very simple physical fitness training. Although it was simple, it was still very challenging given the sheer number of sessions.

Even Shigure took almost three hours; if it weren't for his body, which could activate two strange cards, he would have given up long ago.

At this moment, Shiyu was comfortably soaking in the bathroom, then glanced at the direction of the bathroom door and felt an immense headache.

Because a human-shaped figure was lying on it, and the pointed cat ears and the tail swaying behind it told Shigure who the visitor was.

"Bai Yu! Behave yourself!"

"Oh dear, master, that water is dangerous."

"But why isn't Master afraid of water? Can I see it?"

Shigure also felt a headache coming on from the cat's curiosity. After a while, she got out of the bathtub, put on her clothes, and went outside.

Shi Yu looked at Bai Yu, who was peeking through the door to see what was going on, and angrily pulled her off the door and threw her onto the bed.

Bai Yu quickly climbed onto Shi Yu, took a deep breath, and then showed a satisfied expression.

Shi Yu was stunned by Bai Yu's expression.

"Did I... get sucked by a cat?"

After Bai Yu finished sucking, she buried her head deeply in Shi Yu's shoulder. Shi Yu looked at the cat girl wriggling around in her arms like a maggot and couldn't help but feel a headache.

"Did I raise a catgirl, or a catgirl who evolved from a maggot?"

At that moment, Liu An walked in and handed a set of car keys to Shi Yudao.

"You can drive whichever car you want."

"I don't have a driver's license, Sister Liu An!"

After casually fiddling with his hair, Liu An pulled Bai Yu into his arms.

"Dr. Guan has just created an artificial intelligence called Smoke Cloud."

"All the systems in our Hunter are controlled by Yanyun, and of course, they are also installed in the vehicle. We've also tested the autopilot function."

"You can sit in the passenger seat and let Yanyun drive on autopilot."

Shi Yu suddenly thought of something and asked with concern.

"Could this thing be an artificial form of stupidity?"

"No, because I went out for a ride this afternoon, and it was quite nice."

Shi Yu said after picking out a Ferrari.

"Let this poor boy experience what it's like to be a rich young master."

"Fine, whatever you want."

"After we finish, we'll go straight to the boss's bar. We're having a party there tonight."

"Yanyun has already entered the place names with specific names in the Hunter game. Just tell her to go to the boss's bar."

Shi Yu suddenly thought of something and asked in confusion.

"Is Yanyun... male or female?"

"Dr. Guan assigned her the gender of female, but if you really want to make a big deal out of it, just think of it as a Walmart shopping bag."
