Strange Cards

Chapter 29 Gong Long's Fate

"Boss, what will be Gong Long's fate?"

"After the trial, we hunters will carry out his execution. Only after confirming that there is absolutely no possibility of him being resurrected will his ashes be handed over to his family."

"Because someone once escaped the death penalty by using a scapegoat and continued to cause trouble, any case involving the supernatural will eventually pass through the hands of us hunters."

"Understood."

"Good to know. By the way, you also need to sign the death sentence for Gong Long, because you are also a member of the Hunters."

"Okay, I'll go back to base with you."

Qi Wu quickly folded the gun back into an inconspicuous briefcase. After Shi Yu went out, she took Bai Yu's hand, who was squatting on the ground, and got into the hunter's car.

In the car, Bai Yu scratched his hat and was about to take it off when Shi Yu quickly put it back on.

"What's wrong with Shiyu? If this girl wants to take off her hat, just let her take it off."

"No, this matter is a bit complicated. I need to go back and ask Sister Liu An to help me get this girl checked out."

"Is this little girl sick?"

"It's even more serious than that."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yan immediately fell silent. After a while, Yu Yan took out another bottle of AD calcium milk from somewhere and handed it to Bai Yu.

Qi Wu drove very fast and soon returned to the base. When Shi Yu and Bai Yu got out of the car, they found Liu An already waiting at the door.

Welcome back.

Shi Yu led Bai Yu forward and tugged at Liu An's hand.

"Sister Liu An, I need your help with something."

"Oh, what's up?"

"Help me examine this girl; she doesn't seem to be able to speak."

After thinking for a moment, Liu An nodded, turned around, and walked into the gate.

"Come with me."

Shi Yu and Bai Yu arrived at the Hunter Base's medical room shortly afterward. Liu An pointed to a chair next to him and said...

"Have this girl lie down on top, I'm going to give her a full-body checkup."

After Shi Yu led Bai Yu to a chair, he laid her down. Just as Shi Yu was about to turn and leave, Bai Yu suddenly grabbed Shi Yu's hand tightly.

"What's wrong?"

Bai Yu's gaze towards Shi Yu was filled with many emotions, even a hint of pleading.

"This girl might be scared because there are no close people around her."

"But I..."

"It's okay to stay within the chair area; I can just give you a check-up while I'm at it."

Shi Yu had no choice but to stand next to Bai Yu. Soon, a beam of light swept over the two of them, and a moment later, Liu An walked over with two reports in his hands.

"You have good news and bad news, which do you want to hear first?"

"Listen carefully, okay?"

"What's the name of this white-haired girl?"

"As for Bai Yu's background, it's probably impossible to explain it to you in a short time."

Liu An handed one of the bills to Shi Yu with a smile on his lips.

"I never expected you to actually get your hands on a catgirl. I've never even heard of such a beastman before."

Shi Yu looked at Liu An's nonchalant expression and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Aren't you surprised by her background?

"Since there are already things like 'trickery' and 'mysterious cards' in this world, what's so surprising about this cute and harmless catgirl?"

"Don't worry, your kitten girl is fine, and she can talk; she's very healthy."

Shi Yu looked at Bai Yu, who was timidly tugging at her clothes, in disbelief. Bai Yu then spoke up in a clear voice.

"I can talk, Master. I don't have any problems."

"You can talk?"

"Um!"

"Why didn't you say so before?"

"You didn't ask."

Shi Yu suppressed the urge to hit the girl and pinched her round face.

"Fine, you!"

"I was wrong, I was wrong, please forgive me, Master!"

"What did you call me?"

"Master, don't all house cats meow like that?"

"Do you... know what kind of species you are now?"

"The cat that follows you back home to freeload, huh? Aren't I already a house cat?"

Shi Yu was speechless. Just as Shi Yu was about to say something, Liu An patted Shi Yu on the shoulder and said...

"It's normal for animals to recognize their owners, especially this little kitten who's only a few days old."

"And the title 'master' is pretty good too, hahahahahahaha."

"Sister Liu An, please stop laughing. Let's talk about the bad news instead."

Liu An bent down slightly and smiled at Bai Yu.

"May I borrow your master's time for a few minutes?"

"Uh-huh!"

Bai Yu nodded when she saw the gentle and charming older sister in front of her. After obtaining Bai Yu's consent, Liu An took Shi Yu's hand and walked to the corner.

"Your lung and liver cancer are getting worse, probably because you used the power of the strange cards."

"It's okay, I can still..."

Before Shi Yu could finish speaking, she suddenly felt a sweet taste in her throat and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth. After rushing into the nearest bathroom to spit out the blood, she returned to Liu An's side, embarrassed.

Liu An took the report, flipped through a few pages with annoyance, and then put it away.

"While that card was supposed to be healing you, using its power on your body was also increasing the burden on your physical form."

"Although the degree of treatment and damage is roughly proportional, your body will gradually become unable to withstand it until the day it collapses."

"I will schedule your first chemotherapy session as soon as possible, at least to remove some of the lesions in your body."

After Liu An finished speaking, he left in a hurry, and at that moment Shi Yu took out the Ace of Spades from her pocket.

"Is there any way... to speed up your recovery a little?"

"have."

A's voice rang out, and at that moment, the catgirl Bai Yu was squatting in a corner, secretly listening.

Unfortunately, she could only hear what Shigure was saying; she couldn't hear a single word A was saying.

"If you can collect 10, J, Q, and K to form a royal flush with me, I can almost regain my former strength."

"You now have a Jack, and you're just missing the 10, Queen, and King."

Shigure took the Jack of Spades from another pocket, glanced at it a few times, and then put it back in his pocket.

"I see."

After Shigure put away the Ace of Spades, he suddenly looked to the side. At this moment, Baiyu, realizing that he had been discovered, quickly pulled his head back and turned around.

But what this girl didn't know was that her tail had already given her away. Shi Yu grabbed Bai Yu's swaying tail and gave it a good rub, after which Bai Yu suddenly jumped up.

Bai Yu's face flushed instantly, and she stammered.

"No...don't touch my tail..."
