Is This the Poker World? Ada Thief!

"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 in the underground of the venue," Malik said. At the front of the team, it seemed that they heard the voices of Honda and Peacock Wu talking, and said without looking back, "Also, I can feel that the distance is getting closer."

While speaking, Malik stroked the [Millennium 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, and under the resentment, I was even overshadowed by my family, and turned a blind eye to Isis's concern for me. Even Lixid was once used by me.

Although the time span was less than a year, Malik felt as if a long time had passed.It's not that he has any nostalgia for that past, Malick just laments the impermanence of the world and the unpredictable changes.

Compared with the life in the past and the present, Malik would choose the present without hesitation.

but……

Frowning, Malik glanced at the [Millennium Scepter] in his hand.Together with the dark magic power on the [Millennium Scepter] returning to him, there is also a sincere sense of weakness, and because he has walked a long way, his breathing is also a little heavy.

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, but because of the problem of efficiency, it will only appear as a continuous extraction of people's physical strength in a short period of time, making most people weak.

As for the duelists, it seems that because of strange things such as "fighting spirit" or "duelist soul", they can still continue to act for the time being, but there are a few exceptions, such as Honda and Wukong who are not duelists but act as usual. Malick is weak despite being a duelist.

Malik didn't know what was going on with that Honda guy, but Malik knew what happened to him.

As a former patient with schizophrenia, Malik even did something that many of his patients could not do — he was driven out of his body by his derivative personality even though he was the master personality, and then took the derivative personality that occupied his body Killed and ran back, comparable to Fang Tangjing who repeatedly jumped inside and outside the hall.

However, the experience of surviving a near-death was not without any by-products. As the price of the death of the derivative personality "Dark Malik", Malik's soul was also permanently damaged.

Unlike physical injuries, even if the damage to the soul is only torn in one place, it is irreversible and permanent, not to mention that Malik has lost a part of his soul forever.Not to mention that only a little over half a year has passed now, even if five or sixty years have passed, the lack of soul will always be with Malik.

That's why, although there are people who are working out recently and have a strong body, Malik can attract the eyes of the opposite sex or even the same sex when he rides a motorcycle on the street, but in fact Malik's foundation is so weak that even dueling monsters are a bit reluctant, That's why I gave the [Millennium Scepter] to Hayato.

But now, he is also the only one who has been exposed to the dark game among the few people. Although he was reluctant, Malik still stood up and picked up the [Millennium Scepter] again, and strengthened his body with dark magic power, so that he could barely Act as usual.

It was precisely because of this move that Malik also accidentally discovered one thing——this mutation absorbed not only vitality, but also dark magic power, which was quite unnatural. Bogey posture.

And different from life force, Malik can clearly feel that his magic power has been taken away in that direction, just like dropping a lot of blood into calm water to guide the direction of the undercurrent under the water.

Before the magic power can't support me to move forward, at least I have to find a specific location for these guys, and then I will go on strike.

Glancing at the crowd behind him, Malik took a deep breath and continued to lead the way.

After entering the backstage of the Seahorse Dome venue, they had actually moved forward for a long time. Along the way, they also saw many staff members of the Seahorse Group who could only fall to the ground weakly because they were drained of energy. , several people know that solving the mutation as soon as possible is the best way to help others.

And the descending steps finally come to an end at this moment, a classical style wooden door that does not conform to the aesthetics of the hippocampus at all, not only does not have the slightest technological style, but is more like that corner turned out of the corner, stands on the bottom floor.

However, appearing in front of the group of people along with the steps, there was also a strangely dressed young man sitting cross-legged on the ground with his back to them and facing the gate "in a daze".

"Baron?"

Although the other party didn't look back, Peacock Dance recognized who the other party was at a glance.

It's not for any other reason, it's just that Barong's attire is too strange. Compared with the protective gear on the stunt motorcycle driver, there are rare elbow pads, hand armor, shoulder armor, etc. It seems that he can go to the next door with a giant sword. The set cut Sephiroth.

Compared with a modern person, he is more like a warrior who traveled from a war-torn Western fantasy world.

As a strong opponent that Peacock Dance had encountered in the KC Cup official competition, and also the one who eliminated her, Peacock Dance did not have any resentment or dissatisfaction towards Barong, after all, her skills were not as good as others.

However, there was another reason why Peacock Dance impressed Barong so much.

"Miss Wu!?" Hearing someone calling his name, Ba Long turned his head abruptly, and looked at Peacock Wu who had just walked down the steps with a surprised face. He obviously didn't expect to see her in this place, "You How could it be here?!"

"Shouldn't we be the ones asking you about this kind of thing!"

Rebecca said a little excitedly.

Although Duel Monster is very interesting, but the guy Kaiba went too far when he built the Seahorse Dome. The virtual projection system is not a regular level but the semi-finals of Duel City, which is the specification of the Duel Tower on Alcatraz Island. For Duel Monster Virtual The projection of the image has been done to the extreme.

If it is an ordinary duel, the duel monster can be enlarged to the height of the duelists standing on the high platform. It was fully reflected in the match between Jounouchi and Ryuzaki.

Coupled with the panoramic effect of the top sound system installed in the venue, the audience's sense of presence is actually quite exaggerated.

Because of the above reasons, although Mr. Shuangliu and Professor Arthur came to watch the game on the first day, considering the age of the two and the fact that Mr. Shuangliu had been fainted by the seahorse, in the next few games Until now, they have not come to watch the battle.

Because of this, the two old people were quite lucky not to be affected by today's change.

Although her grandfather and Yuyu's grandfather were not affected by the mutation, Rebecca was still very angry.

"Could this mutation be caused by you, a weirdo? Do you know how many people are in danger because of you!?"

"Hey, hey, I know you guys can't appreciate my aesthetics, but it's too much to say that I'm a weirdo or something. This is a masculine decisive look, very handsome." Baron complained dissatisfied, but never Standing up on the ground, he looked at the group of people, "And why do you think I'm the mastermind behind the scenes?"

While Gu was talking, Ba Long scratched the back of his head in some perplexity, as if he was wondering why his appearance was designed according to the male protagonist in the hot-blooded comics, so why would he be regarded as a villain by others.

"Huh? Isn't it you?"

Peacock Dance was a little surprised.

After the duel at the beginning, Baron had sent her an invitation to Peacock Dance to join a mysterious organization he belonged to, but he said that the name and goal of the organization would be revealed only after joining.

However, Peacock Dance refused.Although what Baron said can help her gain the power beyond Yugi Muto and Hayato Kobayashi is really exciting, but Peacock Dance feels that she doesn't need to look so far, as long as she can go beyond the city.

And this process of transcending the city is more suitable than relying on external forces, or making a little bit of effort to become stronger.

After being rejected by Peacock Dance, Barong was visibly disappointed at that time. It seemed that he regretted that Peacock Dance could not join the organization, but he still said that Peacock Dance could change his mind at any time, and reminded Peacock Dance to let her leave the KC cup as soon as possible.

When seeing Barong appearing in such a remote place, Peacock Dance thought it was the organization behind Barong that led to the change.

"Of course it's not me. The thing inside seems to be human vitality transformed into something that can strengthen duel monsters, but my personal style has always been to solve any difficulties by myself, so I don't think about relying on that kind of thing." something."

Baron shrugged and patted the wooden door behind him, "However, I am here because someone asked me to be the guard here, and I cannot let anyone pass here."

"So, let's take a step back. I can pretend that you have never been here, and leave with your friends, Miss Wu."

"That kind of thing, I refuse!"

The first person to speak out was Rebecca.

Rebecca has a very clear understanding of herself. She knows that she has never been a gentle, considerate, caring guy who takes care of others. If she wants something, she has to find a way to get it even if she is shameless. .

But even if I am like this, I know that it is wrong to hurt others, even though most of the victims of this mutation are passers-by who have nothing to do with me, and that annoying person with big breasts who always grabs Darlings from me. Rebecca still thinks that she needs to help resolve this mutation.

After all, she is the champion of dueling monsters in North America, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and Darling will be happy to know.

Taking a step forward, Rebecca raised the dueling disk in her hand: "Since you refuse to move away, I will knock you down!"

But when Rebecca was about to put the dueling disk on her wrist, Peacock Dance stood in front of her: "No, I'll be his opponent."

Staring at Barong, Peacock Dance took a deep breath: "If a little girl is allowed to fight, we adults are too disqualified, and I want to seek revenge from this guy. I lost to him once before. Not convinced either."

"What do you mean, I'm an adult too!" But hearing Peacock Dance's words, Rebecca didn't appreciate it at all, "According to Japanese law, I'm even of marriageable age!"

"Get out of the way, you fat woman with two lumps of fat!"

"Who is a fat woman! This is the charm of mature women!"

"Get out of the way of the fat that has been marinated in perfume!"

"You freckled short at the airport!"

Even though they were still looking like they were fighting against Barong together, Rebecca and Peacock Dance suddenly had internal strife because of a few word problems, using the art of language to attack each other.

"It's really imposing, Miss Wu." Seeing Peacock Wu's posture of cursing people with his arms crossed, Ba Long was not in a hurry to interrupt them. Why is my opponent a woman again?"

"Little girl, step aside for me, I'll do enough!" Peacock Dance took advantage of her long legs to stop Rebecca, but Rebecca's hand reaching for the card box at her waist was caught by Rebecca. Hold tight, unable to take out the card group.

Rebecca dragged the peacock dance and said, "I don't want it, it's a rare opportunity for me to show off, how could I give it up to—oh, my duel disk!"

Just as the two women were arguing, a hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed the dueling disc that Rebecca didn't put on, but was just holding it in her hand, and she put it on and fastened it.

"The size is a bit subtle. Is it a children's version of the duel board? It really is just a child." Malik ignored Rebecca, who was snatched from the duel board behind him and was said to be a child. Into the duel plate, "Hehehe, since you don't want to duel with the lady, then let me be your opponent."

"I'm not interested in those ordinary games, let's have a happy dark game!"

The green gemstone pendant on Baron's chest flashed a light, as if he had sensed a magical power covering the surroundings, his eyes lit up: "Oh, it's really surprising that there is such a big fish hidden."

"What a coincidence, I'm actually not interested in ordinary dueling monster games. I really look forward to seeing real duels!"

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, showed concern 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 whether it is the past or the present, whether it is someone else's or my own." Malik put the [Millennium Scepter] in the Keeping your waist tight, took a deep breath, "And whether or not there is a [Millennium Scepter], it has a great impact on me."

"Compared to those, go through that door, don't you want to save your companions."

"Huh?" Honda was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked at Barong who was standing aside, "But this guy hasn't been..."

"Hehe, anyway, as long as this guy has a duel, he doesn't care about guarding the gate at all, right?"

Looking at the golden light passing by the [Millennium Scepter], Baron raised his eyebrows with great interest: "Mind reading? No, is it not to observe the thoughts at the moment but to analyze the way of thinking? It's really amazing."

"But it's embarrassing even for me to be exposed by you like this. If my friends hear that I don't take work seriously at all, I don't know what they will think."

"Oh, you don't care anyway."

"That's true."

Baron nodded and stepped aside: "Well, because I have to deal with the invading powerful enemy, I fought with all my strength without paddling at all, but was caught in the gap and invaded. Is this a good reason?"

"But I have cooperated so much, don't let me down, white-haired dead house."

"It's not a dead house, I just have a deep love for Two-dimensional." Malik corrected, smoothing out the wrinkles on his clothes.

Seeing this, Honda didn't say anything more, and turned his head to signal Rebecca and Peacock Dance to open the door, and then opened the way with Yu Jia, who was carrying Guiping, while he was at the end.

Looking back at Malik, Honda only saw confidence and joy on his face, decided to believe in his strength, and helped Kyoko follow the others.

And behind Honda, the voices of Malik and Baron came——

"Duel!" X2

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Kobayashi Hayato."

After defeating Rainn Wilson, Hayato's cell phone in his pocket suddenly sounded the voice of the seahorse.

Somewhat strangely, Hayato took out his mobile phone, and found that his mobile phone had dialed Haima's number by itself at some point, and even turned on the speakerphone.Obviously I have turned off the screen of the phone, so there should be no possibility of touching it by mistake.

"Seth?"

Hayato replied to the phone suspiciously: "Why did my phone make a call by itself?"

"Hmph, it's just a little bit of electronic communication technology, it's easier for me than breaking a roadside tree branch with my fingers." Haima on the other end of the phone paused, and continued, "Since you You have already defeated the guy named 'Rain Wilson', which means that the [Golden Palace of Rapid Mountain] card has been destroyed by you, right?"

Hearing this, Hayato turned his head.
