Looking at Barong not far away who had his soul sealed, leaving only an empty shell of his body lying on the ground, Cheng Zhongxin did not feel much joy in defeating a powerful enemy, but more of a feeling that his life was disappearing before his eyes.
Feeling.
And when he picked up the [Oliha Gang's Barrier] card that fell in front of him, Jonouchi suddenly saw a strange memory that did not belong to him.
A boy who grew up alone without the care of his father or mother;
A nun who is regarded as a relative;
Fighting again and again for survival and dignity;
Burning church;
Iron rod stained with blood;
Senseless killing;
"Is this Baron's memory?" The illusion in front of him slowly faded away. After receiving this memory, Jonouchi lowered his head and looked at the deck of cards thrown by Barong in his hand.
That is the deck of double monsters that Barong used in the KC Cup. It is not the deck that Barong used as the killer of "Three Musketeers of Doma", but the deck that Barong used as a duelist. According to Barong's death
According to what he said at the time, he hopes that this deck can be used as the strength of the city.
"I will make good use of this power, Barong." Looking at the [Phoenix Sword Master-Kia Freed] at the top of the deck, Jonouchi said firmly, but just as he was about to stand up, he felt a little weak.
Fell again.
However, a pair of hands supported him.
"Idiot, your basic score just dropped to only 400 points, and it happened more than once." Helping Jonouchi to stand up, Peacock Mai scolded Jonouchi, "You should be lucky that you didn't fall down directly on the spot.
That’s right, don’t overestimate your capabilities.”
"Now you know how uncomfortable it is. It's really true. Suddenly a man chased us out and left us where we were. It was so hard for me to find you." Although the words were harsh, Peacock Wu's words were full of meaning.
It's concern, "There's no need to be alone all the time. It's okay to rely on me sometimes."
Upon hearing Peacock Wu's words, Jonouchi was also stunned. He stared blankly at Peacock Wu, who was just a few feet away from him, making her face blushing: "What, what are you doing, that weird look?" p>
"Hmph, don't forget that I am the United States Champion now, and you will always be the fourth in Jonouchi."
Hearing Peacock Mai's ridicule to him, Jonouchi was not angry: "Well, it's true, no matter it's Duel Kingdom or Duel City, I only have the top four."
Rarely, Jonouchi recalled what Hayato had mentioned when they were tutoring Honda, who wanted to confess to his classmate "Little Ribbon" in school, and held back what he subconsciously wanted to say: "On Duel, I
You won't lose", but joked to Peacock Dance:
"In that case, I have to ask you to take more care of me in the future, Wu~"
After being stimulated like this by Barong, even an elm-headed head like that in the city will sprout.
Although her face was red but she insisted on saying that it was because of the sun shining like this, Peacock Wu helped Jonouchi to stand up, but Jonouchi's thoughts couldn't help but recall the memory he just saw that seemed to be Barong.
He could feel the anger in his memory when Baron saw the church on fire and heard the cynicism of the gangsters. However, Jonouchi, who was not a party but a bystander, was more aware of that than Barong in his memory.
Something is wrong.
Although the gangsters employed by the demolition team have every possibility of setting fires, after all, the sooner the demolition is completed, the more rewards they can get, but sometimes the greater the suspicion, the more likely the murderer is.
, at least Jonouchi feels that the reward that can be obtained from a church with a small area is definitely not as good as the risk of murder and arson.
And what happened to Barong after he killed the gang of gangsters and was imprisoned was even more puzzling in the city.
At that time, Barong himself was in a state of confusion and didn't care about anything after losing his goal of living. However, Jonouchi's intuition felt that Barong seemed to be led into a trap by someone, especially a prison.
The warden of the prison actually proposed something strange like letting the prisoners go to a small island overseas for a duel.
Although it is not ruled out that the warden is a fan of dueling monsters, isn't he worried that the prisoners will hide on the island and escape? Where did he get the power to organize such an action?
The appearance of Dazi suddenly made Jonouchi have a guess.
Hypothesis, just a hypothesis, if Dazi had noticed the darkness in Barong's heart very early on, is there a possibility that he would set a fire in the church in order to maximize the use of Barong's power? The famous detective Jonouchi couldn't help but want to praise the wonderful reasoning results that suddenly appeared in his mind. I am so smart!
But just after being supported by Peacock Dance for two steps in the city, it was just past noon, and the cloudless sky, which was still under the scorching sun, was suddenly covered by dark clouds that came from nowhere. Along with a thunder and roar, the city and the
Peacock Wu and the two were shocked to find that there was a huge blue figure standing somewhere not far away?!
"[Obelisk's Titan Soldier]?!" Jonouchi saw the shadow of the [Giant Soldier], one of the [Three Illusion Gods] that had defeated him, from the huge blue monster, but in his impression
The gap between the temperament of "God" and that evil figure was too great. He immediately rejected his first feeling, "No, that's not right, that's not the card of 'God'!"
"It's better to say it's a 'demon' than a 'god'." Peacock Wu was also surprised by the existence of that figure, but after thinking about it for a moment, she suddenly felt something bad, "Wait a minute, that direction...
.."
"Isn't it the direction we came from? Yugi and Dinosaur Ryuzaki are still over there!"
"We have to hurry over and help me, Wu!" Just looking at the huge figure, Jonouchi's face turned solemn, "It's just a duel, what happened over there?"
"Nothing should happen, Yugi!"
At the same time.
Barong, who should have had his soul sealed by [Oliha Gang's Barrier] and was sacrificed to "Oli Hagang God", opened his eyes.
He has always been exposed to the power of the card [Oliha Gang's Barrier], but like this time, it was the first time for him to experience being sealed instead of sealing others.
Although it sounds a bit heartless, Balong is actually a little curious about what it would be like to have his soul sealed by [Oliha Gang's Barrier] and sacrificed to the "Oli Ha Gang God".
.
He originally thought that when he opened his eyes, he might see the people he had "killed" before, or the true form of the "Oliha Gang God" who was about to devour him.
Then, he saw a small round ball with a colorful rainbow-like hairstyle on its head and a pair of cute big eyes looking at him.
【Rainbow Chestnut Ball】?
Barong naturally recognizes the duel monster [Rainbow Chestnut Ball], but if he remembers correctly, even in the world, he has only heard of Kobayashi Hayato possessing it...
Wait a minute, could it be said————
