Chapter 144 The Storm Is Coming

Note that there are some big changes in this chapter: since the protagonist is not taking over the body, he cannot be called "Li Zheng"; but if he is not changed and is always called "Xiao Hui", it is easy to make people think he is schizophrenic (I am also schizophrenic when writing...), so let's just change the name to "Li Hui" when Li Zheng occupies the body, so that it is easier to distinguish and does not violate the theme of "people and ghosts have different paths".

Above, the following is the main text.

————————Becoming a Buddha——————

In a small alley in Tongjinye City, Tachikawa Rena stopped looking at the six puzzle cards in her hand.

That's right, six! After winning two puzzle cards from Sakura Mei, Tachikawa Rena's number of puzzle cards has reached six, becoming the first top eight contestant!

However, this is just a piece of cake for her, and what she is thinking about at this time has nothing to do with these. 【ㄨ】

"Oh my, this is really dangerous. I was almost caught." Tachikawa Reina said to herself, "I have already won, but I have to give up the meat in my mouth. Although there are some losses, at least I have confirmed some things: that spirit is not simple."

After saying this, Tachikawa Reina narrowed her eyes and looked at the majestic and domineering figure who gradually walked to the intersection of the alley. The corners of her mouth slightly curled up and said, "You actually came directly to me. Do you have any opinion on my becoming the first top eight to qualify? President Kaiba Seto?"

That's right, the person who came was none other than the organizer of this "Duel City" competition - Kaiba Seto!

"Humph, if you look at your previous record, this is not unexpected. As long as you keep looking for weak and small fish and avoid strong opponents to duel, you can easily do it faster than you." Kaiba Seto shrugged after confirming Tachikawa Reina's identity.

"Oh, it's just like before - oh no, it's even worse - the arrogance that is unique to white dragons." Tachikawa Reina's smile became even bigger, but if it was not Kaiba Seto who was chatting with her but another ordinary person, she should have been forced out by Tachikawa Reina's cold temperament, right? "Yes, I'm not as arrogant as you. Dragons have their own bravery, and insects have their own philosophy. Different paths lead to different plans."

"Philosophy? Interesting, constantly changing identities so that ordinary people can't find your true location at all, this is indeed very similar to what those insects do when they shed their shells." Kaiba shrugged indifferently and said, "Even if I want to compete with you now, but according to the rules of this duel city, you have entered the quarterfinals and can refuse any duel. So, keep the six puzzle cards in your hands for the time being. I look forward to meeting you in the finals, European champion, Irene Anderson."

It turns out that Kaiba has always known the true identity of the person who now occupies the identity of "Tachikawa Reina". Irene Anderson, the European champion, is also one of the senior consultants hired by the International Illusion Society. She is very good at making cards and dueling. She was once successfully crowned the European champion in the European Champions Cup, but in the end she lost to Becas J. Croft and missed the title of "Duel King".

Did she come to the Duel City this time for the Duel King? Kaiba didn't know, and he didn't bother to know. Is the reason for participating in the competition important? How to win is what Kaiba Seto should care about.

At the same time, Irene doesn't seem to like to use her true face to show up. She always pretends to be some missing girls and appears in front of the public. This kind of prank often gives the police a headache, but Irene seems to be a big shot, and these things can always be suppressed. As for Irene's behavior of liking to dress up and go out, Kaiba's understanding seems to be that Irene chooses to dress up as someone else in order to avoid enemies or reporters.

Kaiba has never doubted the aspect of "occupying the other person's body". After all, Kaiba Seto believes in science and will not believe in these ghosts and gods in the dark duel.

"Goodbye, I won't see you off." Irene didn't plan to duel with Kaiba Seto right now. After all, Kaiba's strength was obvious to all. Someone as cautious as her wouldn't start a fight with Kaiba Seto so soon.

Because there was no need.

As Kaiba Seto's footsteps left, Irene also put away the puzzle card and prepared to go to the finals.

The alley was as quiet as before.

————————Ultimate Gem God·Rainbow Dragon————————

[Li Zheng? Why did you think of completing the next game on my behalf? ] At the other end of Tong Minye City, the person controlling the body had become Li Zheng, while Xiao Hui (the original) was resting in the world of consciousness.

[Because, I have some bad premonitions. ] Li Hui looked at Sakura Mai, who was still cheerful despite losing her qualifications, and said worriedly: [The guy before left a seed of dark energy on Xiao Mai, but I have cleaned it up. ]

[What? Is she such a dangerous person? Dongfeng Gu Hui asked with some concern, "Is Koumaro okay?"

[It should be fine, but I don't know the details about that woman yet, so it's hard to make a conclusion. Maybe I can find out by comparing the results of the investigation with Tokiomi now, but...] Rihui looked at the mobile phone in her hand and another contact gem, [This guy just can't find anyone at the critical moment...]

Just talking about this in a casual way, occasionally chatting with Koumaru, while walking casually, a strange man gradually entered the vision of Rihui and Sakura.

It was a silent man, he was very tall and strong, wearing a cloak, and stopped people on the road to duel. At the same time, in order to prevent the other party from refusing, he would also take out cash, Lea Card and many other extra temptations in addition to the puzzle card to ensure that those duelists would not refuse him.

So, the taciturn man quickly won three puzzle cards on the road. According to the principle that everyone has one puzzle card, now the number of his puzzle cards has reached at least four!

"Looks like it's time to reap the rewards..." Li Hui had seen enough of the show, so she opened the duel disk and walked towards the taciturn man, "Want to duel, big guy? I see you're tired of bullying weak players, and it's time to change your taste and be bullied for a round, how about it?"

"..." Lishide was stunned for a moment, but when he saw the other party, the famous duel king Dongfeng Gu Hui, he nodded without hesitation. After Li Hui showed three puzzle cards, Lishide also silently showed three puzzle cards and opened the duel disk.

"Duel." x2, until this time, Lishide spoke the first sentence, but it was just a formulaic duel opening.

While Li Zheng was controlling Xiao Hui's body to duel with Li Sid, on the other side of Tong Mino City, Muto Yugi had just come out of the magic hut of another Gurus who could use the "Black Magician" - "Magician Pandora" - and Kaiba had just used the power of the Giant God to kill a gangster who dared to despise Keipi in front of him, but soon found that the atmosphere of the duel city suddenly became a little depressing.

Is this the feeling of a storm coming?
