Strange Cards

Chapter 131 Adoption?

But Zhang Yushu is now an electrocution ghost, and she dodged the blow by using her own lightning.

Liu An was no pushover either; although she wasn't good with a knife, that was only in contrast to her using a whip.

In reality, Liu An was proficient in all kinds of martial arts and could wield any weapon quite well.

Before Shi Yu arrived, Liu An was the strongest fighter in the Southern Base besides Qi Wu, even stronger than Li Shun and Da Niu combined.

She didn't rely on the strength of her strange cards, but on her superb martial arts skills.

In the beginning, Liu An was a notorious figure in the South, feared by all. It was only in recent years, when new recruits came to the Southern Base, that Liu An stepped down from the front line and returned to his old profession as a doctor among the hunters.

But when it comes to actually fighting, Liu An is still the same Liu An, the same fearsome one.

Liu An used Lightning Flash, and his entire body was instantly enveloped in lightning.

Liu An transformed into a bolt of lightning and attacked Zhang Yushu, but Zhang Yushu was already able to use some of her own power, so she turned around and transformed into lightning as well to fight Liu An.

The two bolts of lightning clashed dozens of times in an instant, and Zhang Yushu, relying on her increasingly strong resentment, was able to forcefully hold her own against Liu An.

After a brief exchange, both Liu An and Zhang Yushu were knocked away by their opponent. However, Liu An skillfully turned in mid-air to deflect the force and landed steadily on the ground, while Zhang Yushu fell to the ground in a disheveled state.

Liu An was also getting a little angry, after all, it was a bit embarrassing for so many juniors to see that he hadn't won over Zhang Yushu after so long.

"That's fucking fast."

Liu An pulled two scalpels from his blood-stained white coat and threw them violently at Zhang Yushu's knees.

Zhang Yushu instantly knelt down. Looking down, she saw only two small holes in her knees. Suddenly, Zhang Yushu could no longer feel her legs.

"ah!!!!"

A mournful roar rang out, but Liu An simply waved his hand, leaving Zhang Yushu with another ailment besides her crippled legs.

"Deaf and mute!"

After Liu An finished speaking softly, Zhang Yushu fell silent instantly. However, if the murderous intent hidden in her venomous eyes could kill, Liu An and the others would have been killed thousands of times over.

Liu An had faced this scene many times before, but he didn't want to say anything. He threw out two scalpels and slashed Zhang Yushu into a human pig in a bizarre state before coldly saying...

"You choose the path to heaven but refuse to take it, while you insist on barging into the gates of hell when there are none."

"He committed murder, a capital offense, resulting in the deaths of one unborn child and three others."

"If one does not enter the cycle of reincarnation to atone for one's sins after death, but instead becomes a ghost and harms the world, it is intolerable according to the laws of Heaven."

"Today, the hunter Liu An is here to act on behalf of Heaven, to rid the world of this wicked creature and restore peace to the world."

"You are not qualified to enter the cycle of reincarnation."

After saying that, Liu An took the evil blade, aimed it at Zhang Yushu's Tianmen (a point on the forehead), and then plunged it in.

The demonic blade pierced Zhang Yushu's Heavenly Gate in an instant. After absorbing the evil power within Zhang Yushu, it shattered her soul, condemning her to eternal damnation.

While Liu An was acting on behalf of Heaven, Shi Yu had already begun to deal with the scene. After retrieving the two thousand needles, she took out a specially made small box and put it back in. Then she folded the Thousand Needle Crossbow again and put it on her person.

"Okay, it's resolved."

After everything was settled, Liu An put away the murderous blade and returned it to Shi Yu.

The two little ones looked at the two of them as if nothing had happened. If it were any other family's children, they would have been scared out of their wits by now.

"As expected of Sister Liu An, I didn't expect her to be so strong."

Liu An helped Shi Yu put the Fiend Blade back behind him, then gently flicked Shi Yu's head.

"You little rascal, don't you know that my strength is among the top in the hunters?"

"Your sister used to be known as the 'Devil's Nightmare,' and she was quite powerful."

Liu An smiled and picked up Qi Nannan, while Shi Yu carried Bai Yu on his back.

The two chatted casually as they walked.

"By the way, Sister Liu An, what about the child we rescued from that abandoned hospital today?"

"I sent her to the hospital for treatment, but her illness is very serious. If it gets too bad, I'll bring her back and use my weird doctor skills to stabilize the child's body before forcibly removing the disease from her body."

"That four of diamonds is that strong? No wonder Yu Yan said your card abilities are a bug."

"Your understanding of reconstruction is far more bug-like than my ability. Don't laugh at the second-in-command, boss."

Shiyu seemed to have thought of something, and after confirming that the two little ones had fallen asleep from playing, she tentatively asked.

"Sister Liu An, what are you planning to do with that child?"

After seeing that Qi Nannan had fallen asleep in his arms, Liu An carried her on his back.

"I've already checked with the Hunter's intelligence network. Those scumbag parents left the South China Sea three days ago. It looks like they're going to abandon this child."

"So what are your thoughts?"

Liu An smiled and then said.

"Although we can find those parents, sending the child back doesn't guarantee she won't be abandoned or sold to some remote mountain village to be someone's wife later."

"I'd rather raise that child myself than let their life be ruined like this."

"My words don't carry much weight, but I can guarantee that she will have access to education, find a suitable job after entering society, and live a comfortable life. That shouldn't be too difficult for her."

"real?"

"How could it be fake?"

Liu An paused as he spoke, looking at the dazzling night scene.

"I would be happy to adopt the child if she is willing, but we'll see what she wants after she wakes up."

"If she wants to go back, I won't stop her. After she recovers, I'll give her some money and let her go back on her own."

"Sister Liu An is really kind."

As Liu An spoke, his pace slowed, and he spoke in a very calm tone.

"I don't know what those parents are thinking, and I don't want to guess."

"Both are my children, they're all my flesh and blood. Just because she's a girl and she's sick, you're going to throw her away? What kind of logic is that?"

"Those people are just relics of the old era."

Shi Yu remained silent and did not respond, because he was also an abandoned child.

How could he not hate his home far away in Kyoto? The suffering he endured for those twelve years was real and tangible.

Shigure did nothing wrong, but these hardships still came to him through the hands of those he called family.

But Liu An seemed to have discovered something and broke the silence in a soft voice.

"At this point, I really like to use a phrase that those bald men sitting in temples often say."

"We met that child that day; maybe this is what those bald guys always call fate."

"Maybe."
