Yu-Gi-Oh!: Fake Hanno, missing arms and legs at the beginning

All of the above occurred at the product launch conference held the day after Zaizen Akira took office, after the stock buyback of SOL Technology was completed.

This also aroused widespread discussion among users of SOL Technology Company.

Even the originally sluggish stock price soared rapidly under the influence of this series of good news, completely restoring the confidence of the investors.

It is only natural that the physical device needs to be restarted for the update.

Sensitive industries such as traffic, transportation, medical care, and education were also notified of the update time in advance, and SOL Technology Company dispatched a special 'SOLtiS' to assist.

Users expressed their understanding.

After all, this kind of change involves the underlying logic of the program, so it is not surprising that it requires power off and restart to reconfigure the user end.

This is all for the purpose of giving back to users, isn’t it?

Just like that, a plan called Power-off Update, which was actually a plan to cut off power and destroy the [Brain Development Research Institute] and Ignis, was officially launched.

With the joint efforts of the two insiders, Shenghong Manye and Soga, the location of the "Brain Development Research Institute", which had no need to be hidden, was completely exposed to everyone.

It is built in the basement of the SOL Technology Corporation headquarters building.

In the past, all water and electricity expenses were paid by SOL Technology Company.

Even its meals are supplied from the cafeteria at the SOL Technology Corporation headquarters.

After learning of this information, everyone began to work overtime as usual.

Leader Zuo led the cadres of the former Hanno Knights to conduct physical inspections on the mainframes that needed to be updated one by one.

[Jiu-Si-Zhu] is operating a brand-new host assembly production line and is working at full capacity around the clock to produce brand-new hosts in case of computing power requirements.

Shenghong Manye was ready to break in from the outside, Soga was ready to provide cover from the inside, and Radian was also ready to carry out a targeted demolition of the [Wheel of Destruction].

The only thing they couldn't be sure of was what kind of back-up plan the mystic boss had.

Even though he had not appeared in the institute in an open capacity for some time, the mysterious boss still had a deterrent effect.

So after discussion, they unanimously decided to use some tricks to trick the boss out.

During this period when all employees of SOL Technology Company were on paid vacation, Radian and his team cut off the water and electricity in the SOL headquarters building every few days in the name of maintenance of SOL Technology Company, in order to test the reaction of the Brain Development Institute and its boss.

At the beginning, the boss of the Brain Development Research Institute did not take what happened at SOL Technology Company too seriously. In his opinion, these rich people were all extremely afraid of death.

No matter who comes to power, he will eventually be unable to escape the temptation of immortality.

Even if literary means don't work, we can still use the power of the elves to coerce by force, right?

If all else fails, then just rely on dark games. Won't the loser just be at the mercy of the winner?

But soon he clearly felt that something was wrong.

With the help of his identity as the former king, he got a job as a warehouse manager in SOL Technology Company and recently received paid vacation. And because of the different positions, he was arranged to have a full half month of paid vacation.

But in this way, he would have no reason to go to the Brain Development Research Institute in the basement of SOL Technology Company to conduct surveillance all day long under the guise of work.

And because the work was arranged by the previous king himself, he was told that he would be subject to extremely strict work assessments after resuming work.

The information he got from the senior executives who were removed from the internal management communication group was that the new shareholders did not like people who relied on joint relationships to get to the top, and the assessment content was quite difficult.

Even the boss didn't realize that the difficulty these people talked about was to save his face. If he said the difficulty was simple and he still didn't pass, wouldn't he lose all his face?

Fortunately, the severance pay was high enough, and these self-aware people happily left SOL Technology Company.

It is inevitable to complain, but there is no need to slander the new shareholders on a massive scale.

This brought a sense of urgency to the boss, who did not fully understand the inside story, that is, if he went through an assessment after resuming work and production, he would be directly dismissed.

Although he could get a considerable subsidy, he didn't care about this little money at all.

With this little money, how long will it take to build a new research institute?

Not to mention that he didn't have the ability to do so, he now couldn't even contact his own experimental subjects who were disguised as employees and pretending to go to get off work and get off work on time.

Even if we add their compensation, it’s still not enough to cover the cost of one experimental subject…

He wanted to talk to the new major shareholders about renewing the cooperation, but he never expected that the identities of the new major shareholders were extremely secretive.

The information displayed in the publicly disclosed information is related to SOL Technology Company and there is no other interest relationship.

I asked a number of familiar intelligence sources, and they all replied to the boss saying that they were victims of the "lost incident" that year and were unwilling to return to the place that broke their hearts. They also stated that the source of the information was absolutely true and reliable, and that they were honest.

I contacted several intelligence agencies in succession, and the replies I got were all similar. Even if the boss didn't want to believe it, he had to believe it.

It seems that the way to contact the major shareholder directly is not feasible.

If the boss feels that the major shareholder's approach is not feasible, he can simply go to the new CEO, Akira Zaizen, to inquire about the situation and smooth things over.

The boss, who was very active, hurried to the big villa that Cai Qianhuang had just moved into. Before he could take a look, he saw a group of bionic people carrying folding stools looking at him with ill intentions.

To be precise, he was considering where on his body he should start to make it easier to render him incapable of moving.

The strange look frightened the boss so much that he quickly smiled and left the surveillance range.

As if he had anticipated the possibility of personal threat, a group of bionic men provided him with 24-hour protection.

This made it impossible for the boss to find any opportunity to take action.

The boss is planning to run away, but first he has to be able to get into the [Brain Development Institute].

Even after he stated that he was an employee of the company, the bionic man guarding the company's gate would not let him move forward even a bit, no matter how hard he talked.

As soon as he had the idea and made a gesture to force his way in, a hundred or so bionic men immediately picked up the folding stools under them, as if to say, "Don't blame me for not warning you. Try it if you don't believe me."

He was so anxious these days that several big bubbles appeared at the corners of his mouth, and it was obvious that he was suffering from heat in his body.

It's the kind of heat that even drinking dozens of pounds of herbal tea wouldn't help.

Since neither literary nor physical methods work, there is nothing else to do but to resort to underhand tactics.

How to do it in secret?

Why not just send a fire to the warehouse and launch a surprise attack on the research institute.

Thinking back, he had been specifically told during his induction training that the technological products in these warehouses were of considerable value, so the intelligent fire protection system they were equipped with was of utmost importance.

As soon as there is any smoke, a directional carbon dioxide fire-extinguishing spray will be sprayed at a fixed point and in a fixed quantity from a special robotic arm in order to achieve the purpose of completely extinguishing the fire and reducing the temperature.

This fire extinguishing system is not only installed in the warehouse, but also the several hundred meters within the warehouse are the key monitoring objects of this monitoring system.

I remember that a colleague ran to the corner of the warehouse and subconsciously rubbed a cigarette. Just as he was about to puff out the smoke, he was frightened by the violent impact of the carbon dioxide fire extinguishing spray and the cold wind, and developed post-traumatic stress disorder, commonly known as PTSD.

The man is still receiving treatment from a psychiatrist.

And because he was caught smoking by a hidden surveillance camera, not only did he fail to get work injury compensation, he also lost his job.

At that time, he was almost imprisoned for arson. Anyway, it caused a lot of uproar at the time, and the matter died down only when a new hot topic emerged.

As the boss, it was naturally impossible for him to go into battle himself to attract the attention of the guards.

But all of his men were trapped in the [Brain Development Research Institute], and it would take several days to find new helpers.

Just like that, the boss also became quiet during these days.

So what is Han Nuo doing?

He is dreaming.

Yes, it’s just a dream.

Moreover, he knew clearly that he was dreaming.

He tried many things. He didn't feel any pain when pinching his face or thighs, and he didn't feel any numbness when stamping his feet. Even when he closed his eyes and had a good sleep, the sun was still in the same place when he woke up.

The most important thing is that in his understanding, it is impossible for him to run naked to the most scenic place in the whole city to enjoy the scenery.

When he first arrived in this dream space, he was on a marble terrace high above a city in this dream space.

Going down is a wide black marble staircase that extends almost endlessly in a spiral. Looking down, it perfectly fits the composition of the Fibonacci spiral sequence.

Walking down the spiral steel handrail, which seemed to be a staircase with no end, Han Nuo found that he had only walked up seventy steps before reaching the end.

What appeared at the end was a dark stalactite cave.

The chaotic sound of water dripping constitutes the main theme of this dark world. The sticky touch soaks Han Nuo's feet. The cold and dampness in his face makes him clearly realize that this may not be an ordinary dream.

Then a mysterious man appeared, wearing a hood and robe, with a wand on his waist.

From a distance, he warned: "Stop, dreamer! Strangers are not welcome here."

Han Nuo didn't react for a moment and was seen naked, and didn't know whether he should cover the upper part or the lower part. He had to turn sideways and use the wall of the spiral staircase to shield his body.

Perhaps noticing Han Nuo's embarrassment, the mysterious man threw a large robe over Han Nuo, using it as a fig leaf.

The mysterious man advised again: "Go back! Go back to where you should go back to, and don't go forward. Every place ahead is full of immeasurable dangers, and you can't even make a decent piece of clothing. It's better not to go forward."

Han Nuo hurriedly put on his robe and smiled awkwardly: "I just want to find a way out. I know I am dreaming, but I don't know how to wake up. I think I have no other choice but to move forward..."

The mysterious man said calmly: "In this world, welcoming death will bring about a sobering reality."

Han Nuo smiled and asked, "I can't accept this. Is there any other way?"

The mysterious man groaned for a moment before saying, "Since the creation of the world, only three completely human souls have successfully entered the [Dreamland] and returned. Among these three people, two were completely crazy when they returned."

Han Nuo opened his mouth wide, feeling like he was about to be unable to speak: "Huh? [Dreamland]? Are you serious?"

The mysterious man confirmed Han Nuo's question: "Yes! It is the [Dreamland], a parallel space composed of subconsciousness and imagination, a dimension composed of dreams."

Han Nuo opened his eyes wide and rubbed the back of his head violently, almost rubbing off a bunch of hair: "Shocked! How can the card king's world communicate with the [Dreamland]?"

"It seems that you know about the existence of the Dreamland, so I won't give you any more advice." The mysterious man took off his hood, revealing his facial features that were different from those of humans. "I am Crowder, who lives in the magic stone stalactite cave. If you want to pass, you must accept the test as a warrior."

As soon as he finished speaking, the stone with the magic circle on the front of the staff at his waist turned into a duel disk made of stone.

"Ah! Hello, hello, I'm Han Nuo, I know the rules. Translated into normal words, it should mean that as long as I can beat you in the card game, I can go to the next level, right? It feels like playing a level-breaking game..."

At some point, Han Nuo also had an original style duel disk with a deck of cards in it in his hand.

Hanno VS Crowder

"DUEL!" x2

"I attack first," Crowder waved his hand and took the initiative. "Face up four cards, and until the end of your next turn, reveal the [King of Hell] in your hand. During the reveal, the cards on the field cannot be destroyed by effects. End of turn."

"It's fine to go first and play 4 in the backcourt, but what should I do if I don't have [Feather Sweeper] in my hand?" Looking at the 4 covered cards on the opponent's side, Han Nuo's brows were furrowed into a "川" shape. "It's my turn, the card drawing phase, I'll draw a card first."

Han Nuo was in a hurry to play cards and had no time to figure out what deck he was using. He was holding five cards in his hand: [Golden Bamboo Light], [Action Magic - Maximum U-Turn], [Reinforcement], [Planet Transformation], and [Foolish Burial]. This did not reveal any characteristics of the deck at all.

Looking at the [Power of the Guardian] that he had just got, Han Nuo's heart finally rose to his throat. What kind of card deck was he using?

I don't know why I can't see the extra deck.

If I get stuck in the first level because I used an unfamiliar deck, where will I put my face in the future?
