Chapter 454 Waiting

[Thinking about it, it has been almost three months since I signed that bet with that guy. ]

After coming back to his senses, Li Zheng looked at Kaiba Seto and Kaiba Mio who ended their hug and were chatting not far away, and the spirit behind him showed an imperceptible envy in his eyes.

Kaiba Seto, who had just woken up, now had no aura of a tyrant at all. He was like an ordinary young husband, silently listening to his wife.

[If, I can do it too...]

Li Zheng's three-dimensional projection looked at his hand and shook his head in disappointment. This is a body made entirely of light, energy and information. Compared with the bodies of the Kaiba couple that can touch the real world, it is as fragile as a piece of paper.

No... not even as good as a piece of paper.

"If you can, Li Zheng, what would you do?"

A soft and sticky voice came from behind Li Zheng - Li Zheng didn't need to look back or check the surveillance camera to know who the owner of this voice was.

The second generation duel king, the protagonist of the urban legend, Dongfeng Gu Hui, was standing quietly behind Li Zheng at this time.

Of course - since Xiao Hui was awakened by Yukino's bowl of chicken soup, Xiao Hui left the island of life and death where she had stayed for seven years. When Li Zheng came to Weiyang to discuss the matter of awakening Kaiba Seto, Xiao Hui happened to be there, and she followed as a matter of course.

The half-spirit girl's face and figure are completely the same as seven years ago, as if time has left no trace on her body at all.

In fact, it is true - the name "the contract of neither death nor life" seems to be a joke, but it well summarizes the characteristics of "half-spirit" that is neither dead nor alive, but also dead and alive - if nothing unexpected happens, Xiao Hui will live forever in this "Schrödinger's cat" state.

"I don't know, it's because I don't know that I envy it so much."

Because Li Zheng is now using a body constructed by stereoscopic projection, the main body is not even in the same world from here (Veins and the earth in the real world are not in the same world in theory), so he and Xiao Hui did not use telepathy, but communicated directly with language.

Li Zheng turned around - although it was not important for the three-dimensional projection to turn around or not, Li Zheng still habitually planned to look at Xiao Hui: "I, don't even have the right to think about this problem."

"..."

The half-spiritual girl didn't say a word, but walked lightly to the front of the three-dimensional projection of Li Zheng, raised her little hand, and held Li Zheng's face.

She wanted to touch the cheek of the person in front of her, but there was no doubt that she could only touch a void.

"I'm sorry." Li Zheng looked at the half-spiritual girl in front of him gently - this time, he didn't plan to run away, "Really, I'm sorry..."

Because there is a way ahead - even if it is a thorn.

"It doesn't matter, I will wait." Xiao Hui's little face, which was always like the ice of the Arctic Ocean, melted, and she showed a warm smile to the projection of Li Zheng in front of her: "Because I have figured it out, I am willing to... believe you."

Somehow, Li Zheng, who had no hormones, no internal organs, and no physical body, felt his heart beating violently at this time.

At this moment, Li Zheng seemed to be a human again.

At the same time, a simple "I believe" made the spirit behind him feel an endless sense of guilt.

"Why?" It seemed that the moment of being a human again was very short. After a while, Li Zheng returned to his old self. "What happened recently?"

"Actually... I was just scared before." Xiao Hui did not answer Li Zheng's question immediately, but walked away by herself and sat on a bench nearby. "If you are free, can you listen to me?"

"I am free anytime."

While replying, Li Zheng cut off the communication sent by Hui Liuli - it seemed that she wanted him to help look at a place in Veins.

Of course, almost instinctively, Li Zheng assigned a thread to handle this matter.

The stereoscopic projection Li Zheng followed Xiao Hui and "sat" on the bench.

"Ojia'ou is a good kid." Li Zheng just sat down, and the first sentence Xiaohui said surprised him: "A very hard-working kid."

"Yes, very hard-working." Li Zheng nodded: "But compared with you back then, you are obviously not spiritual enough."

"Huh~" The girl blinked, without making more expressions, "Sure enough, you must have a contractor to walk in this world."

"I'm sorry, this is reality." Li Zheng shook his head helplessly, "I can't..."

"I don't allow you to apologize-you don't need to apologize." Xiaohui stretched out her little hand and covered Li Zheng's mouth-although this had no effect on a three-dimensional projection: "I used to be very scared, afraid of being abandoned, just like...adopted wild cats."

"..." Li Zheng was silent and nodded.

"But I have figured it out now." Retracting her little hand covering the air, the girl smiled calmly: "I am willing to believe you-I believe you are working hard."

"I..."

"I heard that you have been in contact with indigenous gods, dark duelists and other forces around the world recently?"

Xiao Hui used the word "contact" which seems to be very civilized - but the girl who is well aware of the fighting power and behavior style of the spirit behind her knows that what he called "contact" is probably written as "contact" and read as "beat and subdue"...

Don't believe it? Just look at the "fans" he has in stock now - the materials of those fans are all of great origin.

"Yes."

Li Zheng just nodded slightly and didn't say more.

"Why?"

"I made a deal with the devil." Li Zheng closed his eyes, then stretched out his virtual hand to touch the girl's head: "Believe me, there will be that day."

This kind of touch could not cause any feedback to the girl's nervous system, but she still squinted her eyes like a kitten being touched on the head, enjoying a moment of tranquility.

Finally, Xiao Hui smiled gently and said, "Li Zheng... After a while, I plan to come to Duel Academy - I won't use my current identity."

Li Zheng was stunned for a while, then he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you prepare the materials."

——————Ark of Miracles——————

The physical education class at Duel Academy ended very quickly - until the end of the physical education class, Ayukawa Emi didn't come back from the principal's office.

Physical education is a big class, and it often takes a whole morning or afternoon to take it at Duel Academy, so after this gloomy class, the students have to go to the cafeteria to eat.

During the usual physical education class, Ayukawa Emi always exhausted herself to get the students off the D-ship and the duel boat, thus wasting a lot of time, and in the end, when the students arrived at the cafeteria, the dishes were usually cold; but today, because those equipment were not used at all, the students walked into the cafeteria first with a listless look.

When Ojiaou led a group of chattering girls into the cafeteria, she saw Zi who had not been seen for a long time - she was getting food.

Because of her physical condition, Zi did not have to attend physical education classes - and for this reason, Zi's appetite was also small.

"Zi, are you there?"

However, Ojiaou, who walked up to greet her enthusiastically, found that Zi had gotten a lot of food today.

Of course, this "a lot" was relative to Zi. With Zi's appetite, this was enough for three of her; but if it was Judai... he could finish it all by himself.
