The top 32 list of the Starry Sky Cup has been released.
Most of the group members were on the list, but the bald and shiny 'Iron Wall King Kong' was unlucky and was matched with a heavy sword without an edge, and was defeated with regret.
The attention paid by these two people is relatively high among the top 64 matches. Officials specially arranged commentary and broadcast, while some lesser-known players simply announced their battle reports.
Early the next morning, Lin Xiao checked yesterday's battle report results.
In the battle report, I saw many familiar names, and 'Qing Kui' was among them.
Most of the player IDs in the battle reports are strange, but the one named 'Qing Kui' is relatively normal.
What else is there [Can’t Lose Tifa in the 3D Zone] [I am the Sixth] [Gift Crab]...
Lin Xiao coughed dryly:
"Fortunately, I didn't slap my head when I came up with the name, otherwise it would be easy for the commentator to lose control when reciting the ID."
Please give players names that at least look like a person!
I went to the forum and searched the discussion threads of the Top 64 matches. There were many posts related to the epee man, and most of the players discussed his incredible rebounding skills.
"He's even better at Turtle Shell Style than 'Iron Wall King Kong'. This man has no flaws."
"The timing of blocking is so perfect, it's almost like trying to block."
"If you fight well, will you die? (The dog's head saves your life)"
The schedule of the Star Cup is very tight. After the top 64 ended yesterday, the matchup schedule for the top 32 was announced today.
Lin Xiao himself was matched with a fourth-level card master, so the pressure was not great and he was sure of being able to advance to the top 16 stably.
There are many prediction posts on the forum, and one of them is discussing the outcome of the recent game [Yuki Yin Dao VS Genmori Tsuna].
It's related to Brother Dao... Lin Xiao's heart moved slightly and she clicked on this post.
The person who faced off against Yuki Yin Dao in the round of 32 was named [Minamoto Moratsuna], a traveling card master from the Kingdom of Ukisakura.
He is covered in purple samurai armor, which is precious and strong. Just like the retainer samurai of the ancient Ukikura daimyo, he has a Ukikura sword attached to his waist. This kind of instrument is a "sword and sword in one", so he can also be said to be good at swordsmanship.
The post commented: "Minamoto Moritsuna's purple samurai armor is probably the possessed form of his equipment card."
"Does anyone know the exact name of his trump card?"
"It has not been announced, but it is said to be one of the 'Five Swords of the Floating Sakura World'. It is of epic quality and is truly a piece of cake!"
The Five Swords of the World are national treasures of Fuying. The five swords have profound historical allusions and legends. They have killed evil spirits and are of epic quality.
Lin Xiao remembered that Brother Dao’s trump card was the ‘Snow Drinking Crazy Knife’, which was also of epic quality, but it was currently only at level four.
Facing the unclear source of the truth, Brother Dao is really a bit confused...
According to the competition schedule, there will be another duel tomorrow [Qing Kui VS Cage Scarecrow]. Since it is not broadcast live, there will be fewer followers.
"Go to the branch venue tomorrow and watch her duel."
Lin Xiao pondered slightly: "After all, the difficulty of the top 32 competition has increased sharply, and it is necessary to cheer for the rich woman on the list."
The weather outside the window was sunny. Lin Xiao was sitting at the card-making table, testing the growth of the Meteoric Sword, and said softly:
"Fu Ying's Five Swords in the World...How do they compare with you?"
Lin Xiao tried to inject power into the dark sword, and the red lines were hot and red.
Meteoric Sword:(——)
To put it simply...it's like five pieces of junk.
Lin Xiao could roughly understand the meaning of the Meteoric Sword's domineering force, but if he wanted to translate it more accurately, he would have to form a closer bond.
"I hope I can awaken the card master's talent such as 'telepathy' in the future..." Lin Xiao said to her heart.
After these few days of duel, the level of the Meteor Sword has only increased by one level, reaching level 61.
It is really difficult to develop a sixth-level gold card.
Lin Xiao was not in a hurry, stretched and looked back.
The chubby Dafu lay on the carpet with his head raised, holding a mobile phone in his hand and staring intently.
On the screen of the mobile phone are cartoons from the last century, telling stories about navigation.
Dafu's eyes flashed, and he looked very happy: "Ouwu...(?ˉ?ˉ?)"
Please call me, Captain Seal!
Snap.
Lin Xiao reached out and patted Dafu's fat belly, making a crisp sound.
"Ooooo!" The little seal was furious, referred to as leopard anger.
Dafu tried to get up, but failed to get up. He turned his back to Lin Xiao and sighed resentfully.
Lin Xiao smiled and said: "Little seal, don't think about doing belly curls. Okay, I'll treat you to fish."
"Oh!" Dafu's eyes lit up.
"It's in the river, catch it yourself." Lin Xiao said.
"Ouwu...(???)" Leopard Speechless Incident.
Come on, I'll do it myself and have enough food and clothing...
…
…
Queen's Road, Investigation Team.
The man in suit and leather shoes passed the arch and heard a call.
"Raven," Margaret said, standing in front of the mahogany double doors, "there is something you need to investigate."
Chu Yun frowned and nodded slightly.
"Recently, in Star Map City, a case occurred where 'the card master lost consciousness and mobility, fell into a coma, and became a vegetative state'."
"A similar case was also discovered in Golden State, three thousand kilometers away."
Margaret sat on the boss's chair on the huge rosewood desk, pushed the documents to the man standing in front of her, and said:
"One thing they all have in common is that they suddenly fell into coma while lying in the virtual cabin and playing the 'Source World'. There was no movement during the period, and they were not discovered until much later."
"Virtual cabin, source world..." Chu Yun chewed the noun.
Margaret crossed her arms and said:
"Of these two patients, one is a third-level travel card master who lives in a rented house. When his girlfriend came to the house the next day, he found that he was unconscious and had been in a coma for more than 48 hours."
Margaret said: "At that time, she called an ambulance to take her boyfriend to the hospital. The doctor concluded that it was "virtual game vertigo", which can cause vomiting, dizziness, headaches and other symptoms."
Chu Yundao said: "However, "virtual game dizziness" cannot make the card master become a vegetative state."
Margaret nodded:
"It is a pity that this case did not attract the hospital's attention."
"It wasn't until yesterday that a fourth-level card maker's contract breached due to the expiration of time. The customer called the police. When the police came to the door, they found the card maker lying in the virtual cabin. This was related to the case in Star Map City."
Margaret said: "Due to the rare situation and the fact that two card masters were involved, the case was relatively large, so it was reported to us for processing."
"Third-level and fourth-level card masters have become vegetative, and the symptoms are similar..." Chu Yun frowned, "Is it related to the devil?"
"I have sent people to check. There is no possibility of the two patients' action routes intersecting with the devil, and their only point of overlap..."
Margaret pushed a tablet over: "They all participated in the knockout rounds of the Starry Sky Cup and met the same player, [Cage Scarecrow]."
Chu Yun looked down at the tablet in front of him and reached out to touch the play button.
The picture shows a duel venue divided into different venues. There is no commentary and only a few spectators.
In a dark urban area, night covers the alleys.
The camera showed a figure clad in straw, wearing a scarecrow mask, with two holes for his eyes, and his mouth cut open to the base of his ears, standing at the end of the alley.
Then, a dagger burning with green fire appeared in the Scarecrow's hand. Green fire burst out from the holes in his eyes and mouth, and he suddenly threw the dagger.
His opponent, the third-level card master, was hit on the shoulder by a dagger, and the expression on his face varied from contempt to confusion to horror.
The whole body turned into light particles... no, it was powdery white light particles, gradually floating in the dark alley.
The scarecrow came over, picked up the increasingly darker dagger, and looked back at the camera through the hole in his face, and the scene was frozen.
"You mean... the scarecrow causes people to faint through the Internet?"
Chu Yun said calmly: "This is just like a third-rate detective novel, too magical."
Margaret smiled slightly, her eyes shining brightly: "We live in a magical era...Besides, neither you nor I know what the 'origin world' is."
She lowered her gaze and said with a smile: "I don't know why the card master can take the card away from a virtual online game through Tinder, and I don't know why he can also use the power of the card in the virtual online game."
"Thinking about it this way, it's not beyond my scope to accept that a card-killer can commit crimes through a virtual online game," Margaret said.
Chu Yun took out the cigarette box and looked at Margaret. She nodded slightly.
Snap.
Chu Yun frowned, lit his cigarette, and took a deep breath:
"Spark Group, are you willing to disclose Scarecrow's user data?"
"Unfortunately," Margaret said, "it will not disclose any user's data without sufficient evidence."
"Isn't it okay even if the [Investigation Team] intervenes? We can draw a conclusion by querying the Scarecrow's card data, right?" Chu Yun asked.
Margaret shrugged: "At least I failed...I'm afraid that even if Guo Shi Wushuang comes, I will be disappointed."
"Or, there is another possibility." Margaret smiled, "The Spark Group only has user data...the real core data related to the card is collected on the server."
"Server." Chu Yun frowned, "You mean Zhulong Network?"
"I don't know exactly..." Margaret touched the scarecrow on the screen with her fingertips, "But he must know something, so we need to collect evidence and hand it over to Spark Group, so that it can announce the scarecrow's specific address and come to your door.
search."
Chu Yundao: "What should I do?"
"Find Qingkui." Margaret said, "As far as I know, she participated in the Starry Sky Cup and made it to the top 32. The one she faced in the next round was the [Cage Scarecrow]."
"Are you going to persuade her to give up the game..." Chu Yun asked in a low voice.
Margaret crossed her fingers and said calmly:
"I will seek her opinion and let her continue to fight the scarecrow to collect evidence and intelligence."
Chu Yundao said: "You know, with the character of that temporary worker, it is impossible to refuse."
Margaret looked at Chu Yun and pushed the cigarette jar over without saying anything.
"Sorry." Chu Yun put out his cigarette, "I just..."
Chu Yun's eyes flickered and he couldn't finish his sentence.
Call me double standards... I just don't want to see familiar people sacrificed anymore.
"I can understand it, but that's what the investigation team is like. Once you join, you have to make a conscious decision."
Margaret said: "In the face of card fallers and monsters, you must first become cruel...Okay, go find Qing Kui, and then, together with Sigrid and Lin Xiao, be prepared to support her."
Sigrid's hacking skills and healing abilities are among the best in the investigation team. Although Chu Yun and Lin Xiao can't do much, they can provide care in the outside world when Qing Kui and Scarecrow duel in the virtual world.
Get out of the office.
Chu Yun looked up at the ceiling and murmured to himself:
"Starry Sky Cup...Scarecrow..."
Lin Xiao, I'm afraid your vacation will end early.
