Strange Cards

Chapter 11 Devouring

Parts of the three bodies began to appear and disappear, and their auras were not much different from those of the strange monsters.

"Fortunately, their heads didn't turn into monsters, hehehehehe."

"But isn't it a bit inappropriate to commit murder in the city?"

At that moment, A's lazy voice came through.

"You're concerned with these things?"

"That's right, hehehehehehehehehe."

Shigure hid around a corner, aiming his gun at the corner. A black man happened to be coming around the corner and turned his head to look in the direction of Shigure's gun.

The last thing he saw was the huge muzzle of a shotgun.

Shi Yu suddenly pulled the trigger, and the black man's head instantly exploded into pieces.

The red and white mixture splattered all over the wall behind him, but Shigure was not bothered at all and even cheered.

"Wuhu, they've practically splattered his brains out!"

The loud gunshot rang out clearly, and the remaining two followed the sound towards Shigure's direction.

Shigure took out the Ace of Spades and absorbed the strange energy from the headless corpse, then conjured a grappling hook to send himself to the rooftop.

The shotgun transformed once more, and a jet-black sniper rifle instantly appeared in Shigure's hand.

Shi Yu looked at the huge silencer at the muzzle and cocked the gun without hesitation. Just then, the remaining two arrived at the spot where the gunshot had just been fired.

Shiyu aimed his gun at one of them and pulled the trigger.

After a slight sound, another person with strange abilities lay stiffly on the ground, with a huge bloody hole in the middle of their forehead.

The last white man realized something was wrong and then did something incredibly crazy.

Countless ghostly hands suddenly emerged from his body and devoured the corpse, while the strange aura emanating from the white man began to surge wildly.

"That thing forcibly devoured a creature of the same level and actually evolved. Be careful."

"Just use Blades; firearms are no longer effective against him."

Shigure's hand gripped the barrel of the sniper rifle, and the jet-black sniper rifle instantly transformed into a giant, strange blade.

Shigure looked at his injured hand and had no choice but to hold the strange blade with one hand. He couldn't help but take two steps back as he watched the eerie figure climbing up the wall.

"This knife is too big and a bit difficult to handle."

"You can disassemble this knife into two separate blades at any time, and you can reassemble them into a different blade whenever you wish."

"You don't need to use your hands; just channel your thoughts into one of the knives."

The white man, who had been completely devoured by the monster, roared and charged toward Shigure. Shigure quickly dismantled one of the knives and kicked it away.

The strange creature actually chose to withstand the blow with its own body, completely unaware that its power was being absorbed by the blade.

After Yigui pulled out the knife, he charged at Shigure with it, while Shigure used a single-handed staff technique he had used before.

At first, the sword was so powerfully wielded by Shigure that only a blurry afterimage of the sword could be seen.

However, the consumption is also extremely high, not to mention that Shigure now has an injured hand that has become a burden.

Shiyu's blade struck the strange creature like a shower of flowers, tearing its skin and causing it to bleed profusely.

Meanwhile, Yi Gui also took out his knife and clashed with Shi Yu. Although his knife skills were not as good as Shi Yu's, he still left dozens of wounds on Shi Yu's body.

A series of flashes of swords and shadows passed by, and the wounds on the two men multiplied until their blood flowed onto the ground and formed a small river.

The strange aura was increasingly absorbed by the sword in Shigure's hand, until the strange creature suddenly could no longer hold Shigure's sword.

"We succeeded!"

After summoning the strange sword back, Shigure used a Thomas Spinning Slash to split it into two, and then, before the strange sword could dissipate, he plunged the sword into its heart.

A's aura began to grow stronger little by little until Shigure heard a sound.

"Xuan~ It's been so long since I've regained this much power."

"Has that monster finished devouring everything?"

"Clean and spotless."

Shigure raised her hand and her blade vanished without a trace in an instant, then she knelt down on one knee.

"This stuff consumes a lot of resources."

"Then you still need to practice. If this is all you're capable of, you'll probably be out of luck when you encounter someone with strange cards later on."

"Looks like I need to start practicing."

After removing the golden peony from his clothes, Shi Yu transformed it back into an identity card. He then took out the phone number Liu An had given him and swiped the card on the back of the phone.

A golden app icon lit up on her phone, and Shiyu clicked on it without hesitation.

"What's wrong, Xiao Yu? Why did you suddenly decide to call us today?"

"Sister Liu An, please stop teasing me. I almost died here today."

On the other end of the phone, Liu An's tone became slightly serious, and she asked with obvious concern.

"Are you alright, kid?"

"They won't die for now, but if the organization doesn't come and dispose of the bodies of these people who are possessed by evil spirits, I'm afraid some kind of urban ghost story will emerge soon."

"I'm about to collapse too, I need backup."

"Okay, stay there and don't move. Yu Yan and I will be there soon."

After saying that, Liu An hung up the phone immediately. A moment later, Shi Yu saw a black car parked at the entrance of the alley.

Several people got out of the car and began to deal with the body, while Liu An and Yu Yan saw Shi Yu lying on the rooftop and rushed up.

"You're something else, kid. You took down two E-rank demons, and even one of them evolved to D-rank?"

"Please stop laughing at me, hurry up and treat me, I'm about to die."

Liu An took out his 4 of Diamonds with a sour expression, attached it to his hand, and then gave Shi Yu a quick treatment of her wound.

"There's nothing crucial here. Come back to the Hunter's Citadel and I'll treat you there."

"Yu Yan, carry him down."

"Sister Liu An...you!"

Yu Yan looked at Liu An slowly descending the stairs, then at the injured Shi Yu, and ultimately couldn't bear to leave him up there.

"Hurry up and get on, you can walk down yourself!"

Then Shigure felt himself being carried on someone's back, his legs dangling on the ground and dragging, his legs hurting from being hit by the steps.

"I shouldn't have chosen the rooftop as the battleground! Nobody told me I'd be suffering like this coming down!"

"You deserve it, kid, hahaha."

After going downstairs, Yu Yan immediately placed Shi Yu on the steps, and Shi Yu rubbed her sore knees and called out to Liu An in the distance.

"Sister Liu An, let's add a project when we get back!"

"Get me treatment for my legs and knees too. I almost turned into Stephen Hawking just by going down the stairs."
