Chapter 315: Different Paths for Humans and Ghosts

This chapter was written yesterday, but I posted it today because my roommate broke the network cable.

I originally planned to post it earlier, but after looking at the outline, I felt that it would be better to post it together with today's chapter. Then, as I was writing, this chapter was greatly changed.

——————The Vanguard of the Dark World, Becky—————

From a long time ago, not long after meeting Li Zheng, Dongfeng Gu Hui began to feel this way - the girl always felt that there was a thin film between her and Li Zheng, which seemed to be easily pierced, but was as solid as a copper wall.

The girl knew that this was because of identity, or in an extreme way, "race".

This gap between identities is completely different from the gap between ordinary people and wealthy families in those romantic novels outside, which can be made up by their own efforts. This is a gap that is almost impossible to cross.

Although I can see Li Zheng in my inner world, talk to him, and even participate in some small parties between spirits. But on the first day she met the magician, Patchouli Noreki, she asked Xiaohui to conduct a test, and Xiaohui soon learned the fact that in that world, she was just a projection, not a real spirit.

This also explains why Xiaohui's "message" spread around Li Zheng, instead of being able to be carried out at a fixed point like other spirits. After all, she just reproduced the human ability of "speaking" in that world, not a telepathic communication between spirits.

[There is something that cannot be crossed between me and Li Zheng after all. ] Xiaohui looked at Dazhi in front of her and the "Soul-chopping Dead Spirit" on her field. This undead monster and its unique effect seemed to tell her something at this moment-even if the "Mirror Knight" with a physical body is strong, it can't touch the "Soul-chopping Dead Spirit". [This is like the distance between me and Li Zheng. No matter how close we are, we can't...]

There is a difference between life and death, and people and ghosts have different paths.

[Since Li Zheng is not a human, then... I can become a spirit. 】The girl looked at Dazhi in front of her and Li Zheng behind her. Her voice could not reach Li Zheng, so she could only mouth to him.

【I am coming. Wait for me. 】

The girl's head gradually lowered, and her hands were slowly covering the deck on the duel disk as if out of control.

Flipping the cards means admitting defeat in a duel; admitting defeat in a dark game means losing one's life and soul.

No matter how much Miss Umino and Alice called out outside the "Olihagang's barrier", the girl did not stop this action. Although the girl's hands moved slowly, it seemed that they could not stop.

"Hello, my name is Li Zheng, a lost soul. I guess this is not the real world..."

"As for me, I have died once, so I am not afraid of this kind of pain..."

"After all, I really want to see your progress now. If I disappear that day, you should be able to stand on your own, right?"

...

The girl did not think that giving up at this time was unacceptable; she had felt this way before at the top of the Duel Tower on Scrap Iron Island. At that time, she gave up the position of Duel King in order to prevent Li Zheng from leaving her. Otherwise, as long as she used the "forbidden holy grail" at that time, the current Duel King would have to be replaced.

At that time, she gave up the sacred position of Duel King in the eyes of countless duelists in order to keep Li Zheng. Now, if she wants to get rid of the desperate situation of "people and ghosts have different paths", giving up life seems to be the only choice.

So Dongfeng Gu Hui did not regret it. Every time she moved her hand a little further into the deck, her soul was extracted by the "Olihagang's barrier". When she was less than five centimeters away from the deck, she could already see a transparent girl who was close to Dongfeng Gu Hui herself, and the girl's eyes gradually began to lose their light.

Dazhi looked at this scene, and a smile of success appeared on his face. He succeeded. Even if the opponent drew a reversal card, he could not defeat him. After all, he knew many ways to gain advantages outside of duels.

In this respect, the girl was just like a tender chick, allowing him to play with her at will.

"Right, that's right. You should really want to be with that 'Li Zheng' forever, right? This desire even exceeds your survival instinct! So now you won't hesitate." Dazi said in a matter-of-fact tone, "I will recommend a soul mentor for you. After extracting your soul, I promise that you will not fall into confusion. This will make it easier for you to act in the future, isn't it?"

Dazi won. Now Xiaohui's surrender seems to be unstoppable, so he won a complete victory in the duel with Dongfeng Gu Hui. Although he didn't use the duel method, victory is victory and he won't lie.

That's right, Dazi won the duel with "Dongfeng Gu Hui".

"Hmm?" Just when Dazi thought the overall situation was settled and was about to collect the deck, the girl's movements suddenly stopped.

"You..." Dazi's heart sounded a warning bell. The girl now gave people a completely different feeling! "No, you shouldn't be able to get in! Didn't I connect the dark game and the duel? Aren't you afraid of killing her like this?"

"Who to kill? Hui?" Li Hui raised her head, and she forcefully grabbed the girl's soul that had been halfway separated by "Oliha Gang's Barrier". Looking at the puzzled girl, Li Hui shook her head, "You You are indeed very skillful, Dazi. Using the life of a chess piece that you don't care about started a dark game, and let Hui participate in it, causing me to throw a rat weapon... It is a simple and indeed very effective method."

"Then why do you dare to come in?"

"Are you a fool for asking this question?" Li Hui gently stroked the top of Xiao Hui's soul. Although she couldn't touch it, this action itself made the girl gradually calm down. He had a lot to say about this idea. The crooked girl said, but the most important thing now is to knock down Dazi first, "'Rat-proof weapon' is to worry about damaging the treasure and not dare to throw things to hit the mouse. In other words, the most important thing for the mouse is precisely It's a treasure. And if the treasure is threatened by a mouse, even if the owner is worried about the safety of the treasure, he must fight hard! "

Da Zi had a dark face. For so many years, no one had dared to describe him like this.

When analyzing the "Sublimated Spirit Body" just now, Li Zheng knew that if he wanted to interfere in this duel without hurting Xiao Hui, the only possibility was that the girl's soul was halfway extracted, which was too early. If it is too late, the girl will be punished by the dark game. If it is too late, the girl will die and there will be no point in doing anything.

And now is the best time.

After comforting the girl, Li Hui looked at a card in his hand without saying a word, with a terrifyingly gloomy expression.
