Chapter 47: The Awakening of Shizayoi Aki

"DeWine, where is DeWine? Where has he gone?" Qiu, who had just suffered a defeat, was now in front of the player room door, grabbing the man in front of him by the shoulders and asking frantically.

"He said that he would wait for me here. Why is he missing now?" At this time, there was a trace of sadness on Qiu's face: "Will he also abandon me?"

"Mr. Devine said that there happened to be something going on in Xanadu. He wanted to take the first step and asked you to wait for him here." The person in front of him who seemed to be Devine's secretary was indifferent to Qiu's shouting.

"Then I'll go find him now." After hearing this, Qiu turned around and was about to leave, but the man grabbed his wrist.

"Mr. Devine also said that if you insist on looking for him, you will never see him again. He asked you to wait in the player room."

Hearing this, Qiu turned pale and took a few steps back while holding on to the wall: "Did I let him down? Did I make him angry?"

"Yes, I want to listen to him and wait in the player room." Qiu Duo trembled to himself and got into the empty player room alone.

After Qiu entered, the man outside immediately closed the door, and then hung a lock on the door, locking Qiu firmly inside.

Just when the lock was securely hung, Devine, who was supposed to be "busy" in paradise, walked out from behind the corner. Relying on the good sound insulation effect, he sneered lowly: "Useless tools should be punished."

"Boss, can this monster really be imprisoned?" The man who locked the door asked with some fear. When Qiu grabbed his shoulders, he felt like he was going to die.

"Shut it up? What kind of joke are you talking about?" Devine glanced at him: "If this monster goes all out, it can even overturn the entire venue."

"Then this lock..."

"Wolves are very ferocious, but as long as they are chained since childhood, even if they can break free, they will not be able to break free after a long time." Devine laughed inexplicably: "At that time, it was no longer a wolf, but a wolf. If you have a dog, you don’t have to worry about it hurting anyone, and sometimes a few kicks will make it more obedient.”

In the contestant room, which was less than twenty square meters, Qiu Zheng hugged his shoulders and hid himself tightly in a corner of the room.

In her recollection, she had never experienced this feeling of abandonment since she met Devine. After he was feared by his family and rejected by his friends because of his superpowers, it was Devine who accepted him without any care.

He thought thinking made him feel painful, so Devine told him to give up thinking and just feel.

He felt that practicing dueling would remind him of painful experiences, so Devine said that it was okay not to duel as he was the strongest.

After meeting Devine, I have become accustomed to letting him think for me, and all I have to do is do it. Now I can't live without him.

"But now, you have caused me to fall into this kind of pain again..." Qiu clutched her deck tightly, tears falling from the corners of her eyes and dripping onto the mark on her arm that was considered a curse.

"Now I only have this power, what should I do?" Gritting her teeth tightly, Qiu's expression was full of pain, and her uncontrollable superpower wreaked havoc in the room with her emotional fluctuations, causing chaos in the room. Gotta be a mess.

"Giving up thinking will only make you sink deeper and deeper into the darkness within!"

The figure of the betrayer flashed through Qiu's mind. Although he is obviously the same as himself, why can he have so many companions? Why can he stand in the sun and laugh loudly?

"Is it because he...accepted his own power?" Qiu looked at his palm and whispered to himself.

Izayoi Qiu knew that she had always been afraid of him. Afraid of his own power, afraid of his own cards.

Qiu's experience is similar to the character profile that Lou Bai originally told in Xanadu. Because he accidentally hurt his mother, he was looked at with horror by his parents; because he hurt his classmates, he was ostracized as an alien. Because of this, she hated the source of all this - her innate power.

"Why is this happening..." In this silent, empty room, Qiu began to think about the meaning of his own power after the first time in a long time.

On the other side, Lou Bai, the culprit who caused all this, was high-fiving and celebrating with his companions.

"That's awesome, Lou Bai!" Long Ya, who was only as tall as Lou Bai's belly, jumped around him: "Using other people's own card effects to restrict others, this idea has never occurred to me!"

"Yes, it's amazing to fight monsters!" Lou Bai also smiled happily: "I told you before, I'm very strong!"

"Brother Lou Bai, that opponent, Izayoi Qiu... is she okay?" Looking at the cheering people, one large and one small, Long Ke asked this question with some worry.

"Long Ke, why do you care so much about her? Isn't she the Black Rose Witch?" After hearing his sister's words, Long Ya turned around and asked curiously.

Ignoring Long Ya, upon hearing this question, the joyful expression on Lou Bai's face turned serious: "You feel it too?"

"Yes." Long Ke nodded, and then added hesitantly: "I seem to hear...her card crying."

Looking down at Long Ya, who still knew nothing about the conversation, Lou Bai couldn't help but remind him: "Izayoi Qiu is also a person who was deceived and used by Paradise."

"Wow!" Hearing these words, Long Ya immediately recalled the horrors of Paradise that Lou Bai told them in the Fallen Zone. He hurriedly said: "Then let's go rescue her quickly!"

"It's not that simple..." Lou Bai sighed: "My actions can at most open a crack in her closed heart. If I really want to save her, I have to rely on the unique spiritual resonance between dragon sealers."

Turning to look at Yuxing, Lou Bai asked: "Yusing, how is the progress of the matter I entrusted you with?"

"It's almost done." Yusei nodded calmly: "I hacked into the network of the Public Security Bureau and collected some records about crimes in Arcadia."

"It seems that Godwin has wanted to take action for a long time, but there are still clues over there in the paradise." Lou Bai rubbed his chin and speculated: "I will find those clues after the Lucky Cup is over. This is very harmful. It’s time for our paradise to disappear.”

"Yusei, it's all thanks to you."

"No, it's just to save future companions." Yusei shook his head: "And I can't stand this kind of thing."

"Okay, let's not mention this for now." Lou Bai crossed his arms and said, "Yusing, Long Ya and I have already competed. What's next, right? It's still a galloping duel."

"Yes." Yuxing nodded, his tone flat but full of confidence: "I will not lose until I meet Jack."

Seeing Yu Xing's firm steps towards the players' aisle, Lou Bai also called Long Ya and others to walk towards the auditorium.

"I remember Yu Xing's contestant this time..." Lou Bai recalled the plot and said with some uncertainty: "It seems to be called Yan Chenggui, right?"

"It's called Shi Luo! The legendary resurrected God of Death! It is said that many people gave up dueling after dueling with him!" When the duel was mentioned, Long Ya said happily.

"Hmm...did I remember it wrong?" Lou Bai thought for a while and gave up: "Well, it doesn't matter who it is, Yu Xing will definitely win anyway."

Sitting in the audience, feeling the atmosphere was even more heated than the previous duel between him and Long Ya, Lou Bai couldn't help but sigh: "Everyone really likes the galloping duel."

"Yes, compared to standing duels, galloping duels are much more exciting... Look, look, brother is out!" After hearing Lou Bai's words, the old man answered, and then pointed to the starting point and shouted excitedly.

Following the grandfather's movements, Yusei rushed out on his handsome red wheel that was rubbed by his hands and stopped at the starting point.

"Yusei, come on!"

"Please, God of Death, defeat the one with the mark!"

"Get out of here, criminals!"

Seeing Yusei's appearance, Long Ya cheered excitedly, but his shouts were soon drowned in the abuse from the surrounding audience.

"These people are so annoying!" Long Ya cursed angrily: "Boma has said it before, why are they still like this?"

"Ah, there is no way, this is the bad nature of human beings." Lou Bai clasped his fingers together and said calmly: "Human beings will always subconsciously move closer to familiar things and be afraid of unfamiliar things. This fear is manifested in the current Audience disgust."

"Lo Bai, you also have marks on your face, so why didn't anyone scold you in that duel between you and Izayoe Qiu?" After thinking for a while, Long Ya asked again.

"Long Ya..." Hearing his brother ask such an aggressive question, Long Ke pulled Long Ya's sleeve anxiously.

"It doesn't matter, I don't care about this anymore!" After Chao Longke waved his hand to signal her to calm down, Lou Bai explained: "For them, the relationship with the witch who controls superpowers and can take away their lives at any time is Compared to that, my 'criminal' is at least a little harmless, right?"

While Lou Bai and the others were discussing, Yuxing and the D-wheeler named Shiluo were already waiting in front of the starting line and ready.

"It's finally time for a duel! Field magic, [High Speed ​​World], activate!"

"Duel mode, automatic driving is ready."×1

"riding duel, acceleration!"×2

As the effect of [High Speed ​​World] dominated the entire field, Yusei and the cloaked "Death" turned the handles at the same time and rushed out like arrows.

However, less than a second after the D-wheel started, the "Dead Man" grabbed his cloak and threw it into the air.

"After a long wait, Yan Chenggui is here!"

The person under the cloak revealed his true appearance. He was not the Death Luo that everyone thought, but the loser who once challenged Jack, Yan Chenggui, who was known as the Flame Avenger.

The entire audience was in an uproar, and even the host couldn't help but stand up: "What a surprise! What appeared under the cloak was actually the D-wheeler who vowed to defeat the king, Yan Chenggui!"

However, unlike those surprised viewers, Long Ya and others were staring at Lou Bai with suspicious eyes.

"This, this, what are you looking at me for? Watching a duel!" Facing the gazes of everyone, Lou Bai couldn't sit still. He awkwardly changed the subject and said: "Oh, watching the galloping duel is really beautiful. It’s something.”

dT-Tb×4

"Okay, okay." In the end, Lou Bai was defeated: "I admit that I knew some news in advance, but I really have nothing to do with the Public Security Bureau. Of course, the relationship with being arrested does not count."

Putting aside the farce in the audience, the galloping duel has already begun on the track.

"Your opponent is me. Let me show you a real galloping duel!" Yan Cheng Hai pointed his thumb at himself and said arrogantly: "What's wrong, Yuxing, if you are a real d-wheel player, then accept my challenge!"

Faced with this unexpected situation, Yuxing became excited instead. He could foresee that he could learn something from this duel.

"Okay, I'll be your opponent!"

After Yuxing accepted the challenge, Yan Cheng Hai gently turned the handle, and his d-wheel was like a fish swimming in the sea, flexibly passing by Yuxing.

"This kind of flexibility..." Looking at the Flame City Mukuro in front of him, Yusei said in shock: "Didn't you turn on the automatic driving?!"

"Ahahaha!" As the speed gradually increased, Yusei laughed excitedly: "Automatic driving is something that relies on its D-wheel hand, it is impossible to comprehend the essence of the galloping duel!"

While speaking, he had already passed the first corner and grabbed the first attack: "It's my first attack! I normally summon Burning Skull! Then cover three cards, and the turn ends!"

With a flaming skull and three cover cards appearing on the field, Yusei ended the first round indifferently.

[Burning Skull] [3 stars/Flame]

[Monster/Effect]

[ATK/DEF:1000/800]

"My turn, draw a card!"

Immovable Yusei/Flame City Mukuro High Speed ​​Counter: 0→1

"Normal Summon, [High Speed ​​Warrior]!"

With Yusei's order, the overworked [High Speed ​​Warrior] in the early stage came to the field on famous skates.

[Speed ​​Warrior] [2*/Wind]

[Monster/Effect]

[atk/def:900/400]

After summoning Overworked Warrior No. 1, Yusei did nothing else and went straight into the battle phase: "[Speed ​​Warrior], attack [Burning Skull]!"

"Speed ​​Warrior's combat power will be doubled during the turn it is summoned, so your [Burning Skull] will be destroyed by battle!"

[Speed ​​Warrior]

[atk:900→1800]

However, just as [Speed ​​Warrior]'s arm blade was about to hit [Burning Skull], Engjo Mukuro opened one of the face-down cards.

"Trap Card, [0 Guard] (Animation Card)! By reducing the attack power of a monster on your field to 0, it will not be destroyed by battle this turn!"

Under the impact of [Speed ​​Warrior], [Burning Skull], which was supported by a trap card, was not destroyed by battle, but was hit towards Engjo Mukuro like a ball.

[Enjo Mukuro LP: 4000→2200]

The blazing flames on the skull burned his body, but Enjo Mukuro smiled excitedly: "Let me show you the true power of my deck! Open the trap card [Death Accelerator] (animation card)!"
