Chapter 462 Successfully prevented Rebecca’s duel
The camera's perspective temporarily changes to another angle, focusing on the backstage of the Seahorse Dome.
Walking down the steps, Honda, who was walking in the middle of the team with Kyoko on his arm, turned his head and glanced behind him: "Can you keep up, everyone?"
"Ah, it's no big problem."
Following Honda were Rebecca and Mai, as well as Oka, who was carrying Keppei like rice.
At the front of the group was Malik, who was in a very excited state. Under his leadership, the group wandered along the passage at the backstage of the venue and entered the downward passage.
"But, where exactly is Malik going to take us?" Peacock Wu glanced at Malik, who was leading the way in front of him and looked more proficient than walking in his own back garden, and asked Honda.
Due to the change in the world line, Malik never faced off against Peacock Wu in the duel city competition, so she has not experienced the torture of the dark game, and she does not have much dislike for Malik.
Her impression of Malik was just that of a "former mafia leader who seemed to have had conflicts with Hayato because of his ambiguous relationship with Isis."
"I'm not sure, but it's better than staying in the stands, right?" Honda shook his head and looked at Kyoko, who was being supported by him, "Those black suits have inexplicably targeted those of us who can act.
I don’t know what they are going to do.”
"But what is certain is that we must not be caught by those people."
Recalling the man in a suit and his [Double-Barreled Pistol Dragon] from before, Honda couldn't help but feel a little scared. If Peacock Dance hadn't magically summoned the [Three Harpy Sisters] at that time, they would have been killed by now.
.
It is also for this reason that Kyoko and Keppei were also taken along by a group of people. Although the guys in suits had previously shown that they were not interested in the vast majority of ordinary people who had lost the ability to move like Kyoko and Keppei.
No one is interested, but no one can guarantee that they will not be attacked if they are left in the auditorium, and there is no way to make people feel comfortable leaving them behind.
"Now? Of course we are looking for the 'triggering point' that caused this mutation. Just like the original source of infection of the plague, I can feel that the starting point of the mutation is underground at the venue," Malik walked away
At the front of the team, I seemed to hear the voices of Honda and Peacock Wu talking, and said without looking back, "Besides, I can feel that the distance is getting closer."
As he spoke, Malik stroked the [Thousand-Year Scepter] that returned to his hand.
The familiar weight and touch, accompanied by the dark magic that returned to him, made Malik's thoughts return to the Duel City more than half a year ago.
At that time, I was still the leader of Gurus, obsessed with revenge against the Pharaoh. Under resentment, I was even overshadowed by family affection, and I turned a blind eye to Isis's concern for me. Even Lishid was once used by me.<
/p>
Although the time span is less than a year, Malik feels as if a long time has passed. It's not that he has any nostalgia for the past, Malik just laments the unpredictable changes in the world.<
/p>
Comparing the life in the past with the present, Malik would choose the present without hesitation.
But...
Frowning, Malik glanced at the [Millennium Scepter] in his hand. Along with the dark magic power on the [Millennium Scepter] returned to him, there was also a heartfelt feeling of weakness, and because he had been gone for a long time
The road makes my breathing a little heavier.
According to Malik's own conjecture, the specific implementation method of the mutation seems to be to extract the vitality of everyone within the coverage area. However, due to efficiency issues, it will only manifest itself in a short period of time as continuously extracting people's physical strength, making most people weak.
The duelists seem to have adapted to strange things like "fighting spirit" or "duelist souls" and can continue to act for the time being. However, there are a few exceptions, such as Honda and Kazuki who are not duelists but act as usual.
Malik is obviously a duelist but is weak and weak.
Malik doesn't know exactly what happened to that Honda guy, but Malik knows what happened to him.
As a former patient with schizophrenia, Malik even did something that many patients cannot do - he was clearly the master personality, but his derivative personality was driven out of the body, and then he took the derivative personality that occupied his body.
After killing him and running back, he was comparable to Fang Tangjing jumping repeatedly inside and outside the hall.
However, the experience of narrowly escaping from death was not without its by-products. As a result of the death of the derivative personality "Dark Malik", Malik's soul was also left with permanent damage.
Unlike physical injuries, injuries to the soul, even if they are torn in one place, are permanent and cannot be healed. What's more, Malik has lost part of his soul forever. Not to mention that it has only been a little more than half a year.
Time, even if fifty or sixty years have passed, the loss of soul will always be with Malik.
Because of this, although he has been working out recently and has a very strong body. When he rides a motorcycle on the street, Malik can attract the attention of the opposite sex and even the same sex, but in fact, Malik's foundation is so weak that he can even fight against monsters.
That’s why I gave the [Millennium Scepter] to Hayato.
But now, he is also the only one among the few people who has been exposed to the dark game. Although he was reluctant, Malik still stood up and picked up the [Millennium Scepter] again. Using the dark magic to strengthen his body, he could reluctantly
Act as normal.
It was precisely because of this move that Malik also unexpectedly discovered something - this mutation actually absorbed not only vitality, but also dark magic power, which was quite unscrupulous.
A taboo posture.
And unlike vitality, Malik can clearly feel the direction in which his magic power has been taken away, just like dripping a large amount of blood into calm water to guide the direction of the undercurrent.
Before the magic power can no longer support my progress, I must at least find specific locations for these guys, and then I will strike.
Glancing at the people behind him, Malik took a deep breath and continued to lead the way.
After entering the backstage of the Kaiba Dome venue, they had actually been moving forward for a long time. Along the way, they also saw many Kaiba Group staff members who could only fall weakly to the ground because their physical strength was drained. However, compared to seeing one taking care of another,
, everyone knows that solving the mutation as soon as possible is the best way to help others.
The descending steps finally came to an end at this moment. A wooden door in a classical style that did not conform to Haima's aesthetics at all. Not only did it not have any technological style, but it was more like the classical style wooden door with the corners turned out, standing on the bottom floor.
p>
However, what appeared in front of the group of people along with the steps was a strangely dressed young man sitting cross-legged on the ground, facing the door in a daze with his back to them.
"Barong?"
Although the other party did not look back, Peacock Wu recognized who the other party was at a glance.
It’s not for any other reason. It’s just that Barong’s outfit is too weird. There are even rarer elbow pads, hand armors, shoulder armors, etc. than the protective gear worn by a stunt motorcycle driver. It looks like he can go to the next door with a giant sword.
Kill Sephiroth on the set.
Rather than a modern person, he looks more like a warrior who came from some war-torn Western fantasy world.
As the strong opponent that Peacock Wu had encountered in the official KC Cup competition, and the one who eliminated her, Peacock Wu didn't have any resentment or dissatisfaction towards Barong. After all, her skills were inferior to others.
However, there is another reason why Balong was deeply impressed by peacock dance.
"Miss Wu!?" Hearing someone calling his name, Barong turned his head suddenly and looked at Peacock Wu who had just walked down the steps with a surprised look on his face. He obviously didn't expect to see her in this place, "You
Why are you here?!"
"Shouldn't we be the one to ask you about this kind of thing?"
Rebecca said with some excitement.
Although Duel Monsters is fun, that guy Kaiba went too far when building Kaiba Dome. The virtual projection system is not a regular level but a Duel City semi-final, which is the specifications of the Duel Tower on Alcatraz Island. For Duel Monsters Virtual
The projection of images is achieved to the extreme.
If it were an ordinary duel, the duel monster could be enlarged to the height of the duelists standing on the high platform. However, the maximum size of the duel monster in Kaiba Dome is the size of the venue, and in the first scene of the opening
This was fully reflected in the match between Jonouchi and Ryuzaki.
Coupled with the panoramic effect of the top-notch sound system installed in the venue, the audience's sense of presence is actually quite exaggerated.
That is to say, because of the above reasons, although Mr. Shuangliu and Professor Arthur came to watch the game on the first day, considering their age and the fact that Mr. Shuangliu had fainted from being frightened by Kaiba, in the following games,
Until now, they have not come to watch the game.
For this reason, the two old people were quite lucky not to be affected by today's change.
Although neither her grandfather nor the game's grandfather were affected by the mutation, Rebecca was still extremely angry.
"Could this change be caused by a weirdo like you? Do you know how many people are in danger because of you?"
"Hey, I know you can't appreciate my aesthetics, but calling me a weirdo or something is too much. This is a man's winning look, very handsome." Barong complained dissatisfiedly, but he never
He stood up from the ground and looked at the group of people, "And why do you think I am the mastermind behind this?"
As he spoke, Barong scratched the back of his head in confusion, as if he was wondering why he was regarded as a villain by others when his appearance was clearly based on the male protagonist in the hot-blooded comics.
"Hey? Isn't it you?"
The peacock dance is a bit unexpected.
After the duel, Balong once sent her an invitation, wanting Peacock Wu to join a mysterious organization he was a member of, but he said that he would not reveal the name and goals of the organization until he joined.
However, Peacock Wu refused. Although what Baron said could help her gain the power to surpass Muto Yugi and surpass Kobayashi Hayato was indeed very exciting, Peacock Wu felt that she didn’t actually have to look that far, as long as she could transcend the castle.
That's enough.
As for this process of transcending the city, rather than relying on external forces, it is more appropriate to work hard to become stronger on your own.
After being rejected by Peacock Wu, Barong was visibly disappointed at that time. It seemed that he was regretful that Peacock Wu could not join the organization, but he still said that Peacock Wu could change his mind at any time, and reminded Peacock Wu to leave the KC Cup as soon as possible.
p>
When she saw Barong actually appearing in this extremely remote place, Peacock Wu thought it was the organization behind Barong that led the change.
"Of course it's not me. The thing inside seems to be the vitality of human beings transformed into something that can strengthen duel monsters. But my personal style has always been to solve any difficulties myself, so I don't think of relying on something like that.
Where are the things."
Barong shrugged and patted the wooden door behind him, "However, I am here because someone asked me to be the doorman here. No one can be allowed to pass here."
"So, let's each take a step back. I can pretend that you have never been here and leave with your friends, Miss Wu."
"I refuse that kind of thing!"
The first person to speak out was Rebecca.
Rebecca has a fairly clear understanding of herself. She knows that she has never been a gentle person who thinks about others, cares for others, and takes care of others. If she wants something, she must find a way to get it even if she is shameless.
.
But even though he is like this, he knows that it is wrong to hurt others, even if most of the victims of this mutation are passers-by who have nothing to do with him, and that annoying person with big breasts who always competes with him for orders.
As a woman, Rebecca still believes that she needs to help resolve this mutation.
After all, she is the North American Duel Monster Champion. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and Darling will definitely be happy if he knows about it.
Taking a step forward, Rebecca raised the duel plate in her hand: "Since you refuse to get out of the way, I will knock you down!"
But just when Rebecca was about to put the duel plate on her wrist, Peacock Dance stood in front of her: "No, I will be his opponent."
Staring at Barong, Peacock Wu took a deep breath: "If we let a little girl fight, we adults would be too disqualified. Moreover, I want to seek revenge from this guy. I lost to him once before, but I can't do it."
Not convinced either."
"What do you mean? I'm an adult too, okay!" But when she heard Peacock Dance's words, Rebecca didn't appreciate it at all, "According to Japanese law, I've even reached the age of marriage!"
"Get out of my way, you fat woman with two balls of fat!"
"Who is the fat woman? This is the charm of mature women!"
"Get out of the way of the fat meat that has been soaked in perfume!"
"You airport dwarf with freckles!"
It was clear that just now they had the same hatred and wanted to work together to defeat Barong, but because of a few word problems, Rebecca and Peacock Wu suddenly started to have internal strife, using the "art of language" to attack each other.<
/p>
"You're really impressive, Miss Wu." Seeing Peacock Wu's gesture of cursing with her arms akimbo, Barong didn't rush to interrupt them. He folded his hands in front of his chest and watched the show with a look of helplessness on his face.
Why is my opponent a woman again?"
"Little girl, get out of the way, I'll take action!" Peacock Wu took advantage of her long legs to stop her in front of Rebecca, but her hand reaching for the card box on her waist was blocked by Rebecca.
I'm holding on tightly and can't take out the deck.
Rebecca dragged on the peacock dance: "I don't want it. It's a rare opportunity for me to be in the limelight. How can I give it to--oh, my duel plate!"
Just as the two women were arguing, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed the duel disk that Rebecca was holding in her hand without putting it on, and casually put it on and fastened it.
"The size is a bit subtle. Is it a children's version of the duel disk? It's just a child after all." Malik ignored Rebecca behind him who had the duel disk taken away and was called a child. He took out his deck and put it on the table.
Entering the duel plate, "Hahaha, since you don't want to duel with the lady, then let me be your opponent."
"I'm not interested in ordinary games, let's have a pleasant dark game!"
The green gem pendant on Barong's chest flashed with light, as if he was aware of the magic that enveloped the surroundings. His eyes lit up: "Oh, it's really surprising that such a big fish is hidden."
"What a coincidence. I actually have no interest in ordinary monster duel games. A real duel or something like that is really exciting!"
There is no need to discuss anything with others, Malik and Baron have already decided on their own to regard each other as their opponents.
Looking at Malik, Honda, who was supporting Kyoko, had worry on his face: "Malik, I remember Hayato mentioned it to me..."
"Can't I duel? That kind of thing doesn't matter. Anyway, I have never put life and death in my eyes, no matter it is in the past or now, whether it is other people's or my own." Malik placed the [Millennium Scepter] on
He tied it around his waist and took a deep breath, "And whether or not there is a [Thousand-Year Scepter] has a great influence on me."
"Compared to those, just walk through that door. Don't you want to save your companions?"
"Huh?" Honda was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Barong who was standing aside, "But hasn't this guy been..."
"Haha, anyway, as long as this guy has a duel, it's enough. He doesn't care at all about guarding the gate, right?"
Looking at the flash of golden light passing over the [Millennium Scepter], Barong raised his eyebrows with interest: "Mind reading? No, it's not about observing the thoughts at the moment but analyzing the way of thinking? It's really amazing."
"But being exposed by you like this makes even me a little embarrassed. If my friends hear that I don't take my work seriously at all, I don't know what they will think."
"Oh, you won't care anyway."
"That's true."
Barong nodded and stepped aside: "Well, because I had to deal with the invading powerful enemy, I fought with all my strength without any effort, but I was caught in the gap and invaded. Isn't this a good reason?"
"But I've been so cooperative, don't let me down, you white-haired nerd."
"I'm not a nerd, I just love the second dimension deeply." Malik corrected, smoothing out the wrinkles on his clothes.
Seeing this, Honda didn't say anything more. He turned around and motioned for Rebecca and Maou Wu to open the door, and then carried Keppei's Oga in front to open the way, and he walked at the end.
Looking back at Malik, Honda saw only confidence and joy on his face, and decided to believe in his strength, helping Kyoko to follow the others.
And behind Honda, the voices of Malik and Barong came——
"Duel!"X2
? ?There are really a lot of things going on these two days. I have to help prepare the dishes for the New Year’s Eve dinner. I have to pay New Year greetings on the first day of the new year. I also have to hold a banquet at home on the second day of the second year. I also have to continue visiting relatives on the third day of the new year. I really don’t have time to update these two days. Sorry_
(′?`‖∠)_
? ps: The scene where Rebecca's duel disk is taken away by Malik, I suggest you imagine the story of Kamen Rider Build's Honest Man, in which Honest Man prevents the female knight from being born and snatches Misora's belt
