Chapter 356 To the Heir

[So I... have always known this? ! ]

"You see, if you die normally, you will go to the 'Underworld', but now if you use the duel method to forcibly turn people into cards and seal them, it will cause 'detention'..."

"Ah, we are also very curious, why did the Underworld suddenly change so much."

"In fact, the so-called 'Underworld' is not that magical, it is just the place closest to the 'Information World'. You see, if the real world is a building, then this is the foundation. If the foundation is affected, won't the building... fall down with a bang?"

"So..."

...

Yu Zi is still explaining to Judai and the others what the "Underworld" is, but Ojiaou obviously has no intention of listening anymore.

Something has happened in the "Underworld", and Ojiaou not only knows about this, but also personally participated in it.

After Fujiwara Yusuke was defeated and his "Pure World" fell into the hands of Ojiaou, Li Zheng brought her to the "Star Doll Brain Server" that the Xingzi Empire helped him repair. Ojiaou still remembered the scene of reading the "Pure World" and "World-Destroying Wine" with the terrifying computing power of this supercomputer and combining them to restore them to the "World Tree".

At that time, she asked Li Zheng why this was for, and his answer was to transform the underworld so that it would not "crash the server" in the next war.

This coincides with what Zi said just now about the "Third Legion" "bursting the underworld and subverting the world". It seems that it is self-evident who Li Zheng transformed the underworld to deal with.

And the other party is obviously not a fuel-saving lamp. After carrying out appropriate killings, they found that the underworld at this time is no longer the same as before. No matter how they slaughter, it is impossible to achieve their expected goal of "full of ghosts".

[That's why they chose to duel, so they chose to turn people into cards! 】Ojiaou gritted her teeth and looked at Li Zheng, who was floating calmly beside her: [Li Zheng told me that the purpose of transforming the underworld is to "close the big door and open the small door", forcing those who want to seize the "promised land" to turn the war into a duel... But I never thought that they would choose to turn the duel into a war! 】

Ojiaou looked at the "soul cards" on the ground with guilt - if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never believe that a "duel" could turn into a "war".

[However, it is precisely because of the duel that we have the possibility of winning big with a small effort. And I actually knew this a long time ago, but I just didn't want to admit it...]

When those people escaped, Ojiaou wanted to send the "Six Warriors of Shadow" to chase them back, but this action was stopped by her subconscious... Perhaps, she was also looking forward to something in her subconscious.

She hoped that those escapees would die in the hands of the "Eternal Fire Legion"; she hoped that they could become... part of her plan.

[No... How can I have that ability? My subconscious mind is even less likely to think of so many things... but...]

Unable to figure this out, Ojiaou picked up a bottle of ashes from the escapees in the surprised eyes of Zi and others, as if asking Li Zheng or himself: ["Li Zheng, if I knew they would escape long ago, and only their death would allow the "Eternal Fire Legion" to duel with us, and only then would there be a glimmer of hope... their death would have become part of the plan, right?"]

["..."] Li Zheng was silent for a while, and then said expressionlessly: ["They escape because of human nature, which is a predetermined result that does not require any plan. It is not part of the plan, but part of the environment - ask yourself, are you sure you have the eloquence to convince everyone to follow you here and "die" without missing a single one? '?"]

["Hmph... you're right."]

Ojiaou laughed at herself and said: "But it was precisely because I'm not good at these things that I 'saved' everyone... It's ridiculous that I actually completed a 'trolley problem' without realizing it, and let the trolley run over a few people."]

["I found a problem with you."] Li Zheng's voice suddenly became a little serious: "You seem to always want to make things perfect? ​​Don't belittle yourself. This time your judgment at least saved the ten generations and others."]

["I don't know who you learned it from..."] Ojiaou muttered softly - although in the metaphysical communication method of "telepathy", this whispered "muttering" is not actually very quiet - then she sighed slightly and put down the dust in her hand.

[When did I start to pursue this kind of "one-life clearance" and "perfect ending", doesn't your omniscient head know?! 】Ojiaou, who did not talk to Li Zheng again, thought: [Who influenced you... You know it best! ]

Ojiaou was not a perfectionist before, she said

But Ojiaou would not convey these words to Li Zheng, especially at this moment when her poor imitation failed, she would not tell Li Zheng.

"By the way, Zi, the thing I asked you before..."

Since she could not explain why she suddenly picked up a bottle of ash and kept looking at it, Ojiaou had to change the subject stiffly and said: "Did you bring that thing?"

In fact, Ojiaou herself did not know what "she" entrusted to Zi. This "entrustment" was obviously done by Li Zheng behind Ojiaou's back, so she could only ask indirectly, hoping that Li Zheng would not cheat her.

But fortunately, this time Li Zheng did not trick her, but did ask Zizi for a favor.

"Oh, yes, of course, of course!" Zizi nodded like a chicken eating rice and said, "I will keep the things that Shimada-san kept with me! You left quietly that day, but fortunately you left a letter in the dormitory, so during this period of time I have always regarded this letter as the most important treasure, as a token of love from you, Shimada-san... Awooo!"

Ojiaou took back the little hand that was knocking on Zizi's forehead, and said with a red face: "Okay, show me quickly."

"Well, okay, okay..."

Then, in the stunned eyes of everyone present, Zizi, the famous quiet and beautiful girl, literary and artistic girl, and Yamato Nadeshiko in the Duel Academy, reached into her chest without hesitation, and then a fragrant envelope was taken out of it.

The envelope was still emitting heat. It was obvious that the letter was usually locked in the armor of the "Eternal Fire Legion" and tightly attached to Zi's skin, and was "stifled" for a long time.

"Ah..." But the moment he took out the letter, Zi suddenly froze for a moment.

Although he was shocked by Zi's action, Ojiaou still asked with concern at the first time: "What's wrong?"

"Just now, 'This Life' was shamefully down..." Zi touched the back of his head a little embarrassedly and said: "This... I don't think I should take it out in front of everyone?"

[You knew it! ] This is what everyone present is thinking now.

"Anyway...anyway, Shimada-san, I have kept it well!" Yu Zi handed the envelope in her hand to Ojiaou like offering a treasure, "Please accept it."

"Thank...thank you."

Although the place where she hid it was a bit weird, Yu Zi was helping her after all, so Ojiaou also thanked her sincerely and took the envelope.

《To the Successor - Huang Longzhen》

These words were written on the envelope.
