Strange Cards

Chapter 5 Join the Hunters

"Could it be...?"

A retracted the ghost hand and said lazily.

"Anything you understand can be reconstructed using the Ace of Spades. The upper limit of the Ace of Spades is you."

"Of course, not living things."

"We're here. Don't just stand there at the door looking like an idiot."

Shi Yu quickly put the Ace of Spades into the pocket on her chest, and looked at the imposing middle-aged man in front of her, taking a slight step back with her right foot.

The middle-aged man naturally noticed Shiyu's little gesture and said with a smile.

"There's no need to be so nervous, kid. You can put away that explosive starting stance now."

"I can't afford to be careless when facing an enemy several times stronger than myself, so let's stick to this approach."

"Good, you're very quick-witted."

"Huh? You guys have already started fighting?"

The middle-aged man pulled out a pack of AD calcium milk from behind him and threw it to Yu Yan with a disgruntled expression.

"I told you to get more real combat experience, but you wouldn't listen. In the future, when you go on a mission, someone might point a gun at the back of your head and you wouldn't even know it."

"Hey boss, stop yelling. If you keep yelling, the kid'll get stupid."

"You, you."

The middle-aged man looked at the girl with affection, then said to Shi Yu.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Qi Wu, the leader of the Hunters organization."

"This child's name is Yu Yan, and she is your senior."

Shi Yu was suddenly stunned and quickly said.

"I'm not a member of the Hunters organization, so where would I get a senior from?"

Qi Wu then handed a golden identity card to Shi Yu.

"Then, on behalf of the Hunters' Organization, I now invite you to join us."

"The owner of the Ace of Spades".

Shi Yu gently pushed the card back.

"First of all, I am very grateful to the Hunter Organization for the treatment I received. I will settle the bill when I get back."

"Secondly, I only have three months left to live, and I want to live for myself, rather than wasting the last few months of my life on something."

Qi Wu glanced at Shi Yu a few times and then said with admiration.

"That's right, you're the first person to refuse the Hunters organization, but I'd like you to read this carefully before you answer."

Qi Wu handed a folder to Shi Yu, then slowly picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip of tea.

"The Hunter Organization has checked your records. You are a late-stage lung and liver cancer patient. I am very sorry about that."

"You don't need to apologize. Life and death are all preordained by fate."

"But the Hunters are the only place that might be able to cure your cancer."

Qi Wu took a sip of tea and gestured for Shi Yu to open the folder in his hand.

Shi Yu opened the folder in her hand and was immediately drawn to the name of one of the files.

"On the feasibility of cancer treatment drugs and treatment methods."

"This is...."

"The country just submitted a paper with the potential for experimentation, and the Hunter organization has priority access to it."

"Because the Hunters are an organization under the state, specifically for dealing with the Mysterious Cards and their byproduct, the Mysterious Cards."

"Hunters are directly under the highest orders of the state and are not bound by anything."

"We fight on every front of the city, just to follow one rule."

"We are the most powerful bullets to pierce the darkness. We will appear in the darkest places, and after that, dawn will break."

"Now, are you willing to join the Hunters?"

Just as Shiyu was hesitating, A's voice rang out.

"Agreeing to their request will benefit both of us."

Why?

"I can devour the hunted monsters to restore my strength, while you can use their technology to slow down time."

"Once I return to my peak strength, getting rid of your illness won't be a problem. All that's left are benefits, not drawbacks."

Shi Yu looked at Qi Wu, and Qi Wu smiled and handed the identity card in his hand to Shi Yu.

"Well, have you thought it through?"

Shi Yu accepted the identity card, which instantly transformed into a small golden peony that attached itself to Shi Yu's collar.

Thank you for your invitation.

"Yu Yan, it seems you have a junior."

"Yay!"

"together......."

"Just call me Boss like they do."

Shi Yu looked at Yu Yan, who was drinking from a row of AD calcium milk, and asked curiously.

Do hunters still take in children?

"What did you say?!"

Yu Yan trembled with anger and used her proud chest to force Shi Yu against the wall.

"You're telling me I'm a minor? Does your kid have a figure as impressive as mine?"

"Come on, if you don't tell me what makes me look like a minor, you're not leaving today."

"His face, and his height..."

"Ugh, I'm so angry!!!"

Yu Yan, puffing up like a little pufferfish, grabbed Shi Yu's collar and started walking outside.

"Come on, let's fight one-on-one! If I don't beat the crap out of you today, I'll write my name Yu Yan backwards."

"If you want to fight, go to the virtual battlefield. In real life, you fight your enemies, not your teammates."

"Got it, boss!!!"

"Watch out, the ground is slippery..."

Before Qi Wu could finish speaking, Yu Yan fell to the ground with a sea bull, taking Shi Yu down with her.

.........

"Oh? What are you two doing here? Did you leave something here?"

"Sister Liu An, open a virtual battle arena for us. I'm going to beat that brat Shi Yu to a pulp today."

"Alright, go wait in the virtual pod."

Language arrived at a compartment, skillfully pressed the button, and crawled inside. Liu An then opened another closed compartment and waved to Shi Yu.

"Come on, since this is your first time using a virtual pod, let me tell you some things to keep in mind."

Shiyu obediently walked over, went into the cabin and lay down. Then, a series of pipes were connected to Shiyu's body, and a helmet was put on Shiyu's head.

"You might feel a little dizzy when the virtual battle arena starts up, which is normal since it's your first time entering. You'll get used to it after a while."

"There is an emergency button on your left. If you feel there is a problem with the virtual pod, just press it. Don't worry about whether it's a mistake or not."

"The virtual pod will immediately shut down and eject you; this is a necessary safety measure."

"Thank you, Sister Liu An."

"Alright, hurry up and go in for a match with Xiaoyuyan. To be honest, I'm also looking forward to seeing your fighting ability."

After Liu An closed the canopy lid, Shi Yu felt a dizzying sensation spread through her mind, and her vision went completely black.

Before long, the bright light ahead once again filled Shiyu's vision. Shiyu found herself standing in the middle of a huge square, with some pillars scattered around it.

"Hello, hello, hello, can you hear me?"

As Liu An's voice rang out, Shi Yu and Yu Yan looked up at the sky simultaneously.

"I will be the referee for this match. There aren't many rules, so feel free to do whatever you want. I will call a stop when necessary."

Shi Yu and Yu Yan each pulled out their strange cards, and the two cards instantly transformed into streams of light and entered their right hands.

"Struggle".

"Struggle".
