Yu-Gi-Oh!: Madoka, start!

"Kusanagi-san."

"Ah, Yuzhan? I have something to tell you."

After saying this, Kusanagi Sho turned and walked into the compartment.

Seeing Kusanagi Shoichi so anxious, You Zhan hurriedly followed him in.

"Yousaku actually arrived earlier than me." Seeing Yousaku searching for information in front of the computer, You Zhan couldn't help but sigh.

"It's a good thing that you're all here. Have you heard about another incident that happened recently?"

"I heard about it from my classmates, and I just happen to have something to talk to Yusaku about, but for now, Kusanagi-san, you should tell me what you want to say first."

After listening to Yuzan's words, Yusaku nodded slightly, then turned his attention to Kusanagi Shoichi.

"Look at this. This is a hacked convenience store surveillance video. This video captured the moment another was victimized."

"That's really worth seeing." Ai crawled out of the duel disk and nodded.

......

in the surveillance screen.

A boy was sitting next to a convenience store, playing with his cell phone intently.

Suddenly, the old-fashioned duel disk on his arm glowed, and then Link Vrains' login special effects appeared.

After the light on the duel disk went out, the boy suddenly fell to the ground.

......

"It seems that the link vrains is connected, and it is not his own will." Yusaku expressed his own judgment after watching the surveillance video.

"This is what happened to another. After that, the boy was found by a kind passerby and rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment. But it seems that he has not regained consciousness until now."

As soon as Kusanagi Shoichi finished speaking, he pulled up some of the hospital's ICU surveillance footage, displayed it on the computer screen, and continued speaking.

"That hospital has now urgently set up an ICU dedicated to another patient."

"Is this symptom really like that?" Ai looked up at You Zhan.

"By the way, Yusaku, what I want to ask you is also related to this. I remember that Revolver gave you the program to delete the virus that infected Zaizen. Did you make a backup?"

Yuzan looked at Yusaku and asked his own question.

"I didn't make a backup of the deletion program at that time, so I can only see if Zaizen still has the deletion program saved." Yousaku shook his head regretfully and said to You Zhan seriously.

"I understand." You Zhan nodded after listening.

Then, You Zhan took out his mobile phone and opened the communication app.

...

You Zhan: Playmaker has not backed up that program, so I have to trouble you.

Aoi: I have asked my brother for the deletion program in advance. You can go to link vrains and get it.

You Zhan: Thank you very much.

Aoi: You're welcome. I'll go to link vrains and wait for you.

...

After communicating with Zaizen Aoi, Yuzan looked at Yusaku and Kusanagi Shoichi and said, "Kusanagi-san, Yusaku, wait a moment. I'll be back soon."

After You Zhan finished speaking, he stood up and walked into the connecting cabin.

"Deck settings, Into the vrains!"

......

"Mathmech, here." Blue Angel waved and greeted Mathmech.

Mathmech saw where Blue Angel was and quickly rushed over on his D skateboard.

"This is the deletion program." Blue Angel took out a glowing card-like object and handed it to Mathmech.

"Thank you so much for sending it to me." Mathmech took the deletion program and looked at Blue Angel with gratitude.

"You're welcome. This is the spoils you and Playmaker got when you won the revolver last time. I'm just returning it to you now." Blue Angel smiled and shook his head in response.

"I have things to do, so I won't stay any longer. If you need me for anything, just use the communication software to contact me." Mathmech saved the deletion program, looked up at Blue Angel, and then waved.

Blue Angel nodded and waved to Mathmech: "Goodbye."

After a series of logout special effects, Mathmech's figure disappeared from the spot.

Blue Angel stood there, staring blankly at the place where Mathmech disappeared. After a moment, he also logged out of Link Vrains.

......

"How is it?" Kusanagi Shoichi, who was guarding outside the connecting hatch, asked about the result of You Zhan's trip with concern the moment he saw the hatch open.

"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission." You Zhan smiled and raised the duel disk.

After Kusanagi Shoichi connected the duel disk to the computer, everyone began to analyze the data of the deletion program.

"At first, the reason for the appearance of Another was believed to be that they voluntarily abandoned reality and chose to live in Link Vrains. But subsequent investigations found that this was a large-scale phenomenon in multiple regions, proving that this was not the reason. This was a premeditated act to kidnap their spirits. This act turned them into empty shells."

Kusanagi Shoichi continued to casually talk about the information he had while typing on the keyboard.

"Although we now speculate that it was the work of the Knights of Hanno, this speculation currently lacks conclusive evidence."

After listening to Kusanagi Shoichi's words, You Zhan stopped what he was doing, looked at Kusanagi Shoichi and made a suggestion.

"How about starting with the information about those victims? Kusanagi-san, you can deal with this for now. Let Yusaku and I handle the task of analyzing the deletion program."

"That's fine with me." Yousaku nodded in agreement with Youzhan's suggestion.

"Well, then I'll leave it to you and Yusaku to analyze it."

After saying that, Kusanagi Sho began to collect detailed information about the victim.

......

"That's totally impossible." You Zhan slumped in his chair.

"What's wrong?" Kusanagi Sho stopped what he was doing and asked when he saw Yuzan sitting slumped.

"The core of this deletion program is a dynamic 256-bit hash value. This hash value seems to be randomly generated by Hanno's server and then embedded in this code. The virus and the hash value correspond one by one, and finally the virus can be deleted." Yousaku said the result of the analysis while looking at the screen.

"In other words, the core part of this deletion program is completely useless except for the encapsulated shell?" Based on Yusaku's words, Kusanagi Shoichi expressed his own inference.

"That's it." You Zhan nodded weakly.

"Brother Kusanagi, how are you doing?" Yusaku looked at Kusanagi Shoichi.

"It's almost done. The rest of the search can be left in the background. Let's first take a look at the victim information that has been searched and sorted."

After saying this, Kusanagi Shoichi pulled up a table of the victims' information and highlighted their similar parts in red.

"Based on these data, the another so far has three things in common." Ai looked at the screen and stated his conclusion.

Yusaku nodded: "Three points:"

"First, they all have a high level of dueling;"

“Second, they all still use the old-fashioned duel disks;”

“Third, they’re all hackers.”

"Isn't it obvious that this is targeting you two?" After hearing this, Ai turned around and looked at Yousaku and Youzhan speechlessly.

You Zhan smiled, then looked at Ai: "I can't tell, why do I feel like it's targeting you, Ai?"

"Being too popular is also a problem~" Ai said proudly.

"Yes, if this was done by Hanno, Hanno would really want you, Ai, and then he can dissect you as a guinea pig." You Zhan continued to look at Ai with a sinister smile.

"Wow! I really hate you!" Ai said, and hid in the duel disk.

"But it's too early to draw conclusions now, and we can't be sure that it is Hanno. What do you plan to do? We have finally found clues related to the LOST incident." Kusanagi Sho looked back and forth between Yuzan and Yusaku.

"Although it is important to uncover the truth and take revenge on those who took away our past, we cannot allow another victim to continue to appear." Yusaku looked at Kusanagi Shoichi and said seriously.

"Human life is at stake. As long as the Knights of Hanoi are still here, we will eventually be able to find out the truth through them. But if we delay for another day, there will be countless more victims." You Zhan also expressed his opinion.

"Ah~ So handsome~ A partner of justice~" Ai came out from the duel disk and poked Yusaku's shoulder with a sly smile.

"Ah~ so cute~ Cyber's pet~" You Zhanjian poked Ai's head with a smile.

"I really still hate you!" Ai said and hid in the duel disk again.

After silently watching everyone finish playing, Kusanagi Shoichi continued speaking.

"I had expected you to say that. The rest of the search has been completed. I have listed all the possible victims. You two should act separately tonight."

"Brother Kusanagi is so handsome!" You Zhan smiled and gave Kusanagi Shoichi a thumbs up.

"You're the only one who keeps talking nonsense. I'll send the information to you. Time is running out, so let's set off now." As soon as Kusanagi Sho finished speaking, he sent the sorted information to the two of them.
