Strange Cards

Chapter 38 Ferris Wheel

Shiyu led Baiyu along the dark streets, the lights emanating from the surrounding shops faintly illuminating the night sky.

Shi Yu saw a milk tea shop, and holding Bai Yu's hand, she quickly bought two cups of fruit tea.

Shigure handed the strawberry drink to Baiyu, while she herself drank the blueberry drink.

After drinking for a while, Bai Yu gently tugged at Shi Yu's sleeve and pointed to Shi Yu's cup of blueberry tea.

"Mine tastes great, how about yours?"

"It tastes pretty good, what's wrong?"

Bai Yu suddenly became coy and scratched his head.

"Let me try it."

Seeing the longing in Bai Yu's eyes, Shi Yu handed over her cup of fruit tea. After taking the blueberry fruit tea, Bai Yu took a sip and then took a sip of her own strawberry fruit tea.

Seeing that Bai Yu was happily drinking, Shi Yu didn't plan to take her back. Instead, she gently led Bai Yu by the hand to prevent the girl from getting lost in the crowd.

Shi Yu looked at the huge Ferris wheel in the city center, pointed there, and said to Bai Yu.

"Would you like to go there and have some fun?"

"It's...too high."

"I'm here for you."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu felt as if she had been given a shot of adrenaline, and followed Shi Yu to queue up at the bottom of the Ferris wheel.

They quickly lined up for the Ferris wheel, and Shi Yu seized the opportunity to pull Bai Yu inside in a flash.

"Hey, Shigure."

The sound came through the Hunter's earpiece again. Shi Yu glanced at Bai Yu and, seeing that she was admiring the night view outside, shrank to the side and whispered.

"What's wrong, boss?"

"We've already entered and sealed off that amusement park. Tell me about the monster and other information first."

"oh oh."

Shi Yu cleared her throat so that the person on the other end of the call could hear her clearly.

"That ghost has the ability to create a maze-like illusion. I felt like I was trapped inside for only a few minutes, and then I came out after eight hours."

"If you encounter a maze, don't hesitate to use the abilities on your Mysterious Card to attack the surrounding walls."

"Once the attack power is strong enough, it can break through the ghost wall directly. I only needed two moves to cut through that A-level Steel Claw Monster."

"Don't be afraid once you're inside, because there are cowardly monsters inside that specialize in scaring people to absorb their power. The more afraid you are, the stronger they become."

"Furthermore, it's best to maintain contact once inside. If contact is lost, those left outside could launch a direct attack on the haunted house, potentially breaking it down even faster with the help of those inside."

"Understood. There's a chance of encountering something strange outside at night, so be careful."

"How dark must that face be? I've lived in the South China Sea for so many years, and I've never run into one like that on a night before."

"The probability is no less than a large truck falling directly from the sky and killing an ant that's moving house in front of you."

"Alright."

..........

Shiyu watched the Ferris wheel slowly descend, and knew that something was about to happen.

"Bang!"

A loud bang rang out, startling Bai Yu so much that she immediately hid in Shi Yu's arms.

Shi Yu looked down and found that the Ferris wheel was stuck and not moving.

"Could it be that the boss was right and we've run into something supernatural?"

Shi Yu looked up at the central axis of the Ferris wheel and found that there was indeed a dark figure there.

Shi Yu looked at the cat Nizi who was hugging him tightly and pointed forward with his left arm.

"Steel Claws!"

A dark figure with cold light emanating from its arms swept past, using Shigure's carriage to rush forward, while Shigure had already gripped the Ace of Spades.

If there is any unusual activity, Shigure will not hesitate to reconstruct a sniper rifle and deliver a warm 12.7x99mm caliber shot to the cunning creature that is preparing to cause trouble at the central axis.

However, Steel Claw quickly subdued and devoured the monster, then disappeared from the central axis.

About half an hour later, the Ferris wheel started turning again, and this time Shiyu could only carry the cat Nizi, who refused to get off her, out of the cabin.

"That jinx, Boss."

At that moment, Qi Wu, who was surveying the scene in the amusement park, suddenly sneezed, and the cigar he had just lit fell to the ground.

"Which bastard is talking about me behind my back? Damn it, my cigar!"

"Damn it, if I find you, I'll crush you to pieces."

Qi Wu looked at the extinguished cigar with heartache, reluctantly cut off a small section, and then lit it again.

However, a cigar that has been lit twice always doesn't taste as good as the first time, so Qi Wu could only finish the cigar in a sullen mood.

"Meow......."

Shi Yu had just put Bai Yu down when she heard a meow. Turning her head, she saw that it was right next to a pet store.

Shi Yu looked inside and gently nudged Bai Yu.

"Should I go in and buy you some pet supplies or something?"

Bai Yu nodded gently and then went inside.

Shiyu followed behind, and the two then walked to the pet supplies section.

Shi Yu looked at the cat treats on the shelf, took a small pack down to ask Bai Yu's opinion, but found that the girl had suddenly disappeared.

"Strange? That girl dares to stand so far away from me?"

Shi Yu turned around and saw Bai Yu holding a pet collar, and Bai Yu was about to put the collar around her neck.

Shi Yu looked around and, finding no one paying attention to her, quickly stopped Bai Yu.

"What are you doing?"

Bai Yu stared longingly at the pet collar in Shi Yu's hand, and said pitifully.

"Don't owners put a collar on their cats? I want one too."

Shi Yu flicked the collar back onto the shelf in the distance, blocking Bai Yudao from retrieving it.

"You're a human, not a pet. What do you need that collar for?"

"I'm a cat! How can I not be a pet?"

Bai Yu's voice suddenly grew louder, and Shi Yu thought for a moment before coming up with a compromise.

"How about I go to a jewelry store and buy you a necklace with your name on it? Let's not wear that choker."

"No, what's the difference between a house cat and a stray cat if the house cat doesn't wear a collar?"

Shi Yu patiently explained the reasons for a long time before finally managing to convince him, and he found that his patience had actually increased considerably.

In the past, when Shiyu encountered people who couldn't be reasoned with, he would usually resort to physical force first, beating them until they could understand before trying to reason with them.

When facing Bai Yu, the cat girl, Shi Yu was exceptionally patient. After explaining for a while, she picked up a sample cat treat from the side and waved it in front of Bai Yu.

"Do you want some cat treats?"

It's not surprising that Shigure would ask such a strange question, mainly because...

Shigure really wanted to feed his cat-eared girl a cat treat, even if it was just once.
