Strange Cards

Chapter 199 Special Bullets

The group soon arrived at the hunters' gathering place, a restaurant located on a high-rise building.

After Shi Yu and her group went upstairs, they took out their ID cards at the entrance, swiped them, and put them in their pockets. Soon, a small tag appeared at the entrance with their names printed on it.

"Hang it on your collar; it's a rule for every gathering."

"Because there are always a few fewer or more people at each gathering, people choose to print their names on small tags and hang them on the front of their clothes so that others can recognize them."

After thinking for a moment, Shi Yu pinned the tag to her clothes, and Bai Yu, seeing this, also pinned the tag to her clothes.

After entering the banquet hall, Shigure did not choose to go to the buffet restaurant to eat or meet people, but instead went to the outdoor terrace alone.

Looking down at the entire city of Kyoto from his high vantage point, Shigure felt a mix of emotions.

Just then, a white peach reached out from behind Shigure.

Shi Yu turned her head and saw that Bai Yu was also holding a white peach and eating it, mumbling something indistinctly.

"Master, you should try this, it's delicious!"

"Never mind, you should know I don't like sweet things."

"It's not sweet, but this white peach is very crisp and has a wonderful white peach flavor. It's really good."

Shi Yu took the white peach and took a small bite. At that moment, Liu Yu and Qi Nannan also ran over, each holding a white peach.

The four of them looked at the night view outside. Shi Yu looked at the people around her and scratched the hair on her forehead.

"Alright, please go in, everyone."

"It's chilly at night, so it's best not to stay outside in the wind for too long."

"There's a dessert section over there, go grab a few desserts and have some. I'm just wandering around."

After Bai Yu nodded, she took Liu Yu and Qi Nannan to get the desserts, while Shi Yu slowly ate white peaches. Eventually, Shi Yu, having nothing better to do, even asked Yan Yun to scan the peach pits so she could understand them. Afterwards, Shi Yu, bored out of her mind, rubbed out a bunch of peach pits.

After finishing, Shigure used his ability to reconstruct and reverse decompose to disintegrate all the peach pits, then went inside, found a sofa, sat down, and closed his eyes to rest.

"This is so boring, I really want to kill a ghost right now."

"Let me out, kid."

A's voice rang out, but just as Shigure's hair was about to be completely permed, Shigure quickly stopped A.

"I won't let you out tonight, we'll talk about it later."

"This is boring, I'm going to sleep."

After saying that, A fell silent, and just as Dang Yu was about to fall asleep, a soft and sweet female voice rang out.

"Hello...

"Excuse me, you're Shigure... right?"

Shigure yawned and opened his eyes, then saw a pink-haired little girl standing in front of him.

The little girl's eyes were peculiar; her large, bright eyes were actually heterochromatic, one red and one blue.

"What's wrong? Is there something you need?"

Shi Yu, still half-asleep, glanced at the little girl and said.

The little girl suddenly blushed and quickly waved her hand.

"No...it's okay."

Shi Yu looked at the timid little girl and closed her eyes again.

"Lin Luoyi, next time, just speak up openly about what's on your mind."

"I don't have any weird fetish for eating children, so why are you so afraid of me?"

"How...how do you know my name?"

"Your name and the base you're in are written on the tag around your neck, Immortal."

Upon seeing the words "Eastern Base" on Lin Luoyi's chest, Shi Yu knew that Luo Yushang had definitely arrived and was probably watching the commotion nearby.

Later, Shigure, annoyed by the noise around her, found a corner sofa, put on earplugs, and fell asleep. But to prevent anything bad from happening, Canka stayed by Shigure's side, keeping watch.

So Shigure was unaware of the hunters' gathering that followed. He turned over, scratched his butt, and went back to sleep.

Qi Wu assumed that Shi Yu was hiding somewhere and he hadn't found her yet, so he didn't bother with her anymore.

But when the final hunter began to announce the work of the Ghost Gate and called for Shigure to come up, everyone realized that Shigure was gone.

Just when everyone thought Shi Yu had left, Yu Yan spotted Shi Yu sleeping on the sofa and quickly went over to shake her awake.

Shigure, who was shaken awake, thought the party was over. After casually scratching her hair a couple of times, she prepared to walk out.

Qi Wu stopped Shi Yu from leaving, saying that the meeting work was only just beginning. However, when Shi Yu entered the large conference room, she found that all the seats were already occupied.

"Where am I supposed to sit, boss? Stand?"

Qi Wu, who was sitting at the front four seats of the conference table, pointed to a small seat next to the main seat, and Shi Yu walked over and sat down without thinking and fell asleep.

Shiyu was so sleepy for some reason that her eyelids started to droop.

But the chief hunter didn't say anything. He lowered his voice and sped up the meeting before having someone bring a small black and gold box and place it in front of Shigure.

Many hunters may not know what's inside that black and gold box, but the headhunters from the Four Directions Base know exactly what's inside.

The contents of that black and gold box represent many things; they represent not only honor and merit, but also an opportunity to make an exception.

An opportunity to make an exception for anything.

Just then, Yu slowly woke up, rubbed her eyes, and sat up straight in her seat.

The hunter smiled at Shi Yu, who had just woken up, opened the box, and handed the bullets inside to Shi Yu.

"Shigure, take this."

The hunter handed the bullet to Shigure, who looked at it with a puzzled expression.

"What is this? It's trying to make me play Russian roulette."

Upon hearing about the Russian roulette, the four headhunters couldn't help but feel ashamed, knowing that Shiyu had no idea what that bullet represented.

"These aren't bullets for Russian roulette; these are much more expensive than those."

"Now I will make an announcement."

"Hunter Shigure, one of the main designers of the Hunter God mech, participated in the Hunter God Project."

"In the battle of the South China Sea Ghost Gate, he used his body as a sword to defend the front line, and single-handedly killed two Nightmare-level ghosts, ten Purgatory-level ghosts, and countless ghosts of Purgatory level and below."

"Great work, today!"

"Grant Hunter the sixth token, the Xie Zhi Token, in addition to the five tokens of Shi Yu, and one Hunter God Bullet."

"He is also the successor to the next headhunter at the Southern Base, and the candidate for the next headhunter after that."

As he spoke, the chief hunter took out a red and gold velvet box and handed the Xie Zhi token inside to Shi Yu.
