Chapter 57 "Statistics"

The rescue ship arrived earlier than Yukino expected.

That night, the rescue ship that Yukino originally estimated would arrive at least the next morning arrived behind a "Legacy Deep Sea Shark".

This made Yukino very confused - because according to the swimming speed of the "Legacy Deep Sea Shark", it should not have swum to a place where people were, so how did it lead the ship here?

Soon, the people on the boat answered this question for Yukino: On this rescue ship, there was a person who was familiar and strange to Fujiwara Yukino.

"I didn't expect you to come to rescue me by boat, Miss Mortal." Xueno shrugged and said to the lady in front of her who looked very "ordinary" with a stern face, "So it seems that the people who came are also from Taichi?"

After a pause, Xueno continued to guess, "The people who came are not locals or rescue teams, which means that you found the traces of the "Legacy Abyss Shark" first... Do you have a mission nearby?"

Although this duel queen usually has little contact with the people of "Taichi", she is Li Zheng's former contractor after all, and her words can be taken seriously within "Taichi".

"If we follow the current saying, we belong to a new organization called "ZONE." "Mortal" adjusted his hat, saluted Xueno and said, "This is also related to the invitation you received before."

"Invitation?" Xueno frowned, wondering what this had to do with the previous invitation.

"Let's talk on board. It's not a good place to talk here."

"Mortal" extended his hand and invited Yukino to board first. The Duel Queen looked at the victims around her who were already shivering in the night breeze, nodded and followed "Mortal" on board.

"So that's it... So many things happened?"

In the captain's room of the rescue ship, "Mortal" told Yukino about a series of major events that had happened recently, the most important of which was the awakening of the bad beast and the establishment of "ZONE", which indirectly explained why Yukino's ship encountered a large group of murderous duel elves halfway.

According to "Mortal's" calculations, the place where the ship had an accident last night was connected to an ocean current, and where this ocean current passed was a duel academy built on the cold seashore of Alaska. The duel academy was headed by Professor Cobra, who advocated "death duel", and it was a strong academy.

After all, in that school, the decks of students who lost too many times in a row would be thrown into the sea as a punishment for the weak; this behavior of throwing decks was not curbed until several girls committed suicide last year to live and die with their decks.

And the sea monsters that were foreseen last night were undoubtedly the decks of the "weak" that were thrown into the sea. They were washed here by the ocean currents, and they themselves hid a lot of resentment towards the humans who abandoned them.

When they woke up with the east wind of the awakening of the "bad beasts", they naturally had great hatred for humans. It is not surprising that they would attack ships in the end and want to catch humans for a feast.

In addition, after learning about the establishment of "ZONE" and the nature of this organization from the "mortals",

"So, I really chose the right time to expose my identity this time? I was wondering if you would delete their memories." Xue No looked at the nearby cabin with a smile, where the people who had just been rescued and Kita Hi had just fallen asleep.

Although Yukino never regretted revealing the fact that she could control the Duel Spirits last night, after all, human lives were at stake, and she didn't want to see so many people die in the cold sea in front of her eyes because of her one thought.

But she was also worried that the subsequent development of this matter would become very bad - after all, it was a power beyond the understanding of ordinary humans, and for some people who only cared about themselves, the lives of a mere boat of people were not enough to be a reason for him to expose this secret.

But now that the whole world has been provoked by the "bad beast", when the Duel Monster handling experts from "ZONE" brought increasingly powerful monsters like gods from the sky, her performance seemed very normal.

"Mortal" nodded to Xue No, and then said: "You can say that although they are sleeping soundly now, they will not be so calm when they wake up the next morning and learn about the changes in the world in the past few days."

"Why are you so sure?"

"The current statistics of the number of humans who died directly or indirectly due to the 'awakening of the bad beast' are millions..." "Mortal" clicked on a website with a solemn black and white background. In addition to the terrible scenes composed of countless black and white photos of ruins, the most obvious thing is a huge number:

.

As time goes by, this number is constantly updated. At the same time, vivid names are constantly refreshed below the number.

"This is..."

"The number of victims and names of the 'bad beast' incident. If you click on the link, there is also a webpage with blessings from all over the world."

The "mortal" looked at the painful webpage with a complicated expression, and then said softly: "The network of more than one million people is almost enough to cover the vast majority of people in the entire human society... Among them, there will most likely be people in the lounge next door."

"..."

Yukino was silent at this moment.

For her, who has seen a lot of storms, she has long known that sooner or later in this world, the power of the Duel Elves will be abused by people with ulterior motives, leading to tragedy.

In other words, Yukino has long known that sooner or later there will be such a day in this world, the Duel Elves will be known to everyone, and it is likely to start with a disaster-this is also what Li Zheng predicted.

The reason why governments have been able to suppress the impact of the Duel Elves' troubles to the point of "urban legend" before is because the Duel Elves have not caused much damage before.

Even the "Phantom Dragon" that caused the most damage before, its results of rolling up tsunamis, flooding island countries, and sinking US warships can be explained as ordinary tsunamis. If a bunch of experts are invited to output with all their mouths, it will be no problem to cover it up.

The previous "DD incident" exposed the fact that "duelists can control duel spirits" to the public, but the general public still lacks understanding of the extent of the power of duel spirits themselves.

Until this "bad beasts come".

To be honest, just now, Yukino was still thinking that the plot of "bad beasts come" that looks like it will only appear in special effects films for children is a bit old-fashioned.

But when this number and those vivid names appeared in front of her, Yukino admitted that she was ashamed of the thought that flashed through her mind before.

"No one is an island..." Looking at the rising numbers, Yukino sighed slightly: "The death of one person is a tragedy, so does that mean that the death of thousands of people can only be a statistic?"
