Strange Cards

Chapter 4 Liu An

"Tsk tsk tsk... What kind of battle did this child go through to suffer such severe injuries!"

A woman in a white robe stared at the holographic information panel in her hand, her face full of surprise.

"A fractured left scapula, a penetrating wound to the left forearm, and a completely shattered left shoulder bone... It's so tragic, what a poor child." Her voice was full of sympathy and regret.

"Oh dear, Sister Liu An, there's been a terrorist attack launched by otherworldly beings in Nanhai City. You know what's going on," someone chimed in.

"But this kid was able to take down two enemies who had C-rank cards with just one weird card. He's really strong!" another person interjected.

"Yeah, the boss said he'll recruit him into our Hunter's Organization once he wakes up. Haha, looks like I'll have a junior soon!"

The girl in front of them laughed, while the woman named Liu An chuckled softly, then took out Shigure's card from her person and handed it to the girl, adding, "But look, this strange card he possesses is actually the Ace of Spades!"

"What?!!"

Everyone's jaws nearly dropped in astonishment, but Liu An managed to bring them back to their feet. The girl in front of her pointed at the card in Liu An's hand, then at Shi Yu in disbelief.

"The Ace of Spades? The weakest card of the weakest suit? Are you kidding me?"

"Yu Yan, this is your problem."

Liu An gently tapped the girl's forehead with her slender fingers and said in an annoyed tone.

"The spade cards just have more unusual abilities, but that doesn't mean they're weak. It's just that people who used to own spade cards don't know how to use them."

"Don't forget that the boss once tore apart someone holding an A-grade Fire Eagle with just a 10 of spades. Doesn't that prove it?"

"The Spade type can't even use an evolution device, won't this kid be in danger if he comes in?"

"Let's see when the professor creates the Spade type. After all, Spade type abilities are known for being bizarre, making it too difficult to create an evolution device."

Yu Yan nodded gently, while Shi Yu, who was lying on the bed, gradually woke up.

"here it is......."

As soon as Shi Yu exerted force, she found herself bound to the bed with restraints. Just as she was about to take out her small knife to cut the ropes, Liu An walked over and gently touched Shi Yu's forehead with a finger.

"I just set those broken bones for you, so don't move around too much, otherwise it will be difficult for me to treat you if you get injured again."

"Who are you....."

Just as Shi Yu reached for the weapon hidden at her waist, she saw Liu An take out all her weapons and gently place them on the bedside table.

"You have quite a few weapons, that's interesting."

"It's rare to see people in today's society who still carry around personal weapons like the chivalrous knights of the past."

Liu An reached into his breast pocket and pulled out a strange card.

"Struggle".

The card instantly transformed into a streak of light and entered Liu An's right hand, and Shi Yu clearly saw that the card's score was 4.

Liu An gently placed his right hand on Shi Yu's body, and Shi Yu immediately felt a strange energy flowing through her body.

"This is?"

Shiyu squeezed her left hand a little harder and found that the wound on it had completely disappeared.

"Okay, you can get down now."

Liu An removed the restraints from Shi Yu and walked outside, yawning.

Shi Yu immediately retrieved his item, and at that moment Yu Yan took the Ace of Spades from the bedside table and handed it to Shi Yu.

"Come with me, our boss wants to see you."

Shi Yu obediently followed behind Yu Yan, but his eyes were looking around, thinking about how to break through the encirclement.

"These walls are incredibly hard; the Barrett can't penetrate them easily."

"The lack of ventilation ducts and emergency doors makes things difficult."

"I advise you to obediently follow them. With the Ace of Spades that you currently control, you won't be able to break through here."

Shi Yu listened to the voice that suddenly appeared in his mind, and then he focused his gaze on the Ace of Spades in his hand that was emitting a faint glow.

"Who are you?"

"One of the Fifty-Two Mysterious Cards, the Mysterious One..."

"Hey Ace of Spades, greetings! Just call me Ace."

"You're sealed inside this card?"

"That's right, that's why I need you to make a contract with me."

"Without a contract and communication with humans, I'm just an ordinary card. But with a contract, things are different."

"You can use my power through cards, and I can use your body to survive. It's a win-win situation."

"I?"

Shi Yu shook her head with a wry smile.

"It seems you chose the wrong contractor."

"Patients with advanced lung and liver cancer have at most three months to live."

"It's not like it's incurable."

"What?"

"I'll say it!"

"It's not like it's incurable!!!"

"This thing can cure you? Are you kidding me?"

"Why not?"

Then Shigure saw two transparent ghost hands suddenly sprout from the Ace of Spades and plunge into his chest.

After kneading inside for a while, the ghostly hand suddenly pulled it out, bringing out a large clump of dark, viscous substance.

After the black substance came out, Shigure instantly felt much better in her lungs, and at least the intermittent pain in her chest was greatly reduced.

"Dr. A, you have miraculous healing skills!"

"This is before my strength has fully recovered. If I were at my peak, I could easily pull out your lung cancer and liver cancer without much trouble."

"Then forget it."

"Your gentle touch relieved my back pain and leg aches, and almost stopped my heart from beating. Let's treat it slowly."

"Hey! You little brat!"

"Back when I was at my peak, I even dared to go and fight those two Joker cards when I had all the Spade cards."

"You won?"

"Bullshit, there's no way we could win."

"Of course we lost."

"Then why are you still talking nonsense?"

"Heh, kid."

A tapped Shigure's head with his ghost hand, sounding annoyed.

"The reason why you humans haven't been completely invaded by these strange creatures is because back then I took all the Spade cards to fight those two Jokers."

"If it weren't for that battle that caused all the Spade cards to be scattered and me to be seriously injured, and the two Jokers to be injured and fall into a deep sleep, you humans simply can't hold on now."

"My subconscious tells me that the Ace of Spades' abilities are definitely more than just summoning guns; they must be far more terrifying."

"Hey kid? Looks like you noticed."

"No one who owned the Ace of Spades before you noticed this; you're the first."

"The Ace of Spades' ability is very simple, consisting of only four words."

"What is it?"

"Understanding Restructuring".
