Strange Cards

Chapter 116 Not Saving Animals

Suddenly, a small section of the floor collapsed, revealing a downward passage.

After taking the old-fashioned cell phone, Li Haiwei went downstairs with his sidearm. The eerie roar made him realize that there was definitely a terrifying monster down there.

The space under the floor is very large, with a particularly huge, specially made iron cage in the middle.

Inside the iron cage, an even more terrifying electrocution monster roared, and the terrifying electric current it unleashed even forced Li Haiwei to retreat dozens of steps.

Li Haiwei leaned against the wall, and then he suddenly saw something connected to the iron cage.

It was a metal pillar that was connected to a transformer and then split into four.

It was quite obvious what those four thin metal pillars were: the four legs of that iron chair.

The voltage emitted by the electrocution monster was strangely transferred to other places through the iron cage, but the transformer would occasionally turn on to transmit a small, extremely weak amount of electricity.

After understanding the situation, Li Haiwei did not hesitate and immediately called Qi Wu.

The hunters soon arrived at the place Li Haiwei and the others had mentioned. After getting out of the car, everyone took out their evolution devices, and even Shi Yu summoned the Remnant Fire Evolution Device.

Just as everyone was about to go in and deal with the electrocution monster, Shigure suddenly stopped them.

"Everyone, please stop for a moment."

Although everyone was puzzled, they still stopped in their tracks. The reason why Shiyu called for everyone to stop was because Shiyu's sharp eyes had noticed the comments on the live stream.

However, the comments on the screen were all demanding that the police execute the hostages, which Shigure found very strange.

Li Haiwei suddenly sensed something was wrong. He was afraid that if the hunters knew what Zhang Yushu had done, they would not rescue her, so he quickly urged them on.

"Oh dear, young hunter, saving lives is the priority!"

"Besides, the monster under the floorboards could also endanger the safety of nearby residents. Dealing with it sooner rather than later will allow us to rest."

But how could such a brief urging possibly make Shigure obediently do things? Shigure's habits, formed since childhood, have always made her very suspicious of people she doesn't trust.

When Shi Yu caught sight of the name Zhang Yushu in the comments, he asked Yan Yun to search for it. A moment later, Shi Yu sneered.

"Sister Liu An, we don't need to get involved in this."

Liu An initially thought that Shi Yu's illness had worsened again, so he quickly came over and said.

"Is it getting worse again? Should I take you back for treatment?"

Shi Yu simply waved her hand, indicating that her illness was fine, and then looked at Zhang Yushu inside and said coldly.

"I don't know what everyone else is thinking, and I can't control it, but personally, if that monster could really kill the person on the iron chair, I would never kill it, at least not now."

Explain your reasons; we trust your judgment.

Qi Wu and Li Shun spoke together, while Shi Yu simply pointed to the identity card inside Liu An's evolution device.

"Do you all remember that Sister Liu An and I were arrested yesterday? So much so that Sister Liu An had to destroy her own ID card to call for help?"

Li Haiwei's face grew paler and paler. He finally remembered that Shi Yu and Liu An, who were standing in front of him last night, were the two people who had been arrested and taken to the police station last night. This matter had even reached the ears of Director He.

"We almost became scapegoats, and the original owner of the car who crashed into the ambulance, causing the death of the pregnant woman carrying twins, was inside—the one trapped in the iron chair."

Shi Yu gave Li Haiwei a bright smile, but Li Haiwei sensed the breath of death in that bright smile.

"If I'm not mistaken, your name is Captain Li, right?"

"Yes, yes."

"I can say this outright: the only people who can handle that electrocution monster down there besides me, the boss, and Sister Liu An are confident that they can defeat it without getting injured."

"But unfortunately, I won't save someone I have a grudge against; I'm a very petty person."

Shi Yu's words completely shut down all the compliments that Li Haiwei was about to receive, leaving Li Haiwei feeling extremely uncomfortable.

But Li Haiwei wanted to make one last effort, to find a way to scare the group, so he became more serious and said.

"You are citizens of this country! You have an obligation to cooperate with the police in their work!"

"I am now ordering you, in my capacity as captain of the Nanhai City Criminal Investigation Team, to properly handle that electrocuted monster!"

Qi Wu, however, wasn't buying it. After dealing with Shi Yu and Liu An's matter yesterday, the old man had been holding back his anger. He never expected that karma would come back to bite him today.

"Is this how you talk to your superior?"

Qi Wu smiled and took out the vermilion token again.

"The Vermilion Bird Token of the Southern Hunter Base is held by the Southern Hunters, and the holder of the token has the same status as the Minister of the Six Departments."

"The hunters are not under the control of any organization; we only obey orders from the chief hunter and the cabinet."

"Are you the chief hunter or a cabinet member? Do you dare order us around?"

As Qi Wu spoke, his aura leaked out without warning, and the terrifying pressure made Li Haiwei almost lose his footing.

"What about the hunter's other brothers and sisters? This is a personal request of mine, and I will personally reward you handsomely after this matter is resolved."

Unfortunately, Li Haiwei underestimated the unity within the Hunters. Leaving aside the other Hunter bases, at least the Southern Hunter base was a united front, with everyone working together seamlessly.

Otherwise, the people in the southern base wouldn't have given their strange combat tokens to Yu Yan, since these tokens are essentially the foundation of a hunter's identity.

Li Shun and his companions quickly understood what Zhang Yushu had done, so Li Shun stepped forward and said with a cold smile.

"Sorry, we don't accept this job."

"After this damned bastard dies, we will take good care of this electrocution monster. You don't need to worry about the rest."

"After all, our boss taught us that we should save dogs, not animals!"

Just then, Yu's glasses scanned the entire room, and he quickly noticed something was amiss.

After Shi Yu pulled Yu Yan up from leaning against the door frame eating a lollipop, she knocked on the door frame to confirm its material. Suddenly, a bold possibility popped into Shi Yu's mind.

At this moment, Zhang Yushu's final countdown was fast approaching, with only one urgent minute remaining.

Li Haiwei, disregarding the hunters, charged in with three massive hydraulic shears.

"Use this to cut off all four legs of the iron chair before rescuing the hostages!"

Li Haiwei suddenly threw three hydraulic shears at his teammates, which directly jammed the iron legs of the chair.
