Chapter 8 - Speculations About the Game Deck

The names of the characters in this chapter may be confusing, so let me make a statement in advance: when the protagonist is possessed by Hui-chan, he is called "Hui" when communicating with others, and "Li Zheng" when analyzing and monologue in his heart.

The following is the main text.

————————————The Sealed Left Hand——————————

Before, Muto Yugi and his friends seemed to have encountered a trouble. They looked at the sea outside the ship with surprise, and faced with the arrogant laughter of the short four-eyed man, they were speechless.

[I always feel that something is wrong. According to Feng Jingxuan, Yugi is very strong? ] Li Zheng was a little surprised, but this did not prevent him from analyzing the situation in front of him [According to Hui, that Yuga is also a very famous duelist. Did he do something to eliminate the threat of Muto Yugi? ]

Just when Li Zheng was analyzing, the tall blond boy had already jumped! This decisive jump directly scared Li Zheng and Dongfeng Gu Hui, and even Yugi did not react.

"Jounouchi!" Yugi shouted the name of the blond boy. Only then did Li Zheng and Dongfenggu Hui know that the boy was called Jonouchi. Perhaps he was Yugi's friend or acquaintance.

Hui saw that something was wrong. She turned her head and looked at Li Zheng who was invisible to others.

"Let's go up and take a look. I always feel that something is going to happen." Li Zheng said to Hui.

Hui raised her head and walked forward. At this time, Yugi was still holding the railing of the ship and shouting Jonouchi's name loudly. Even Hui who walked forward did not notice.

Hui was not good at speaking, so before greeting Yugi, she closed her eyes and handed over the control of her body to Li Zheng.

"Excuse me, is there anything? You look embarrassed." Hui (Li Zheng) asked Yugi.

"Huh?" Yugi did not react. He looked back and found that a silver-haired girl was standing behind him, but Yugi did not pursue the other party's origin. Now his mind was only on Jonouchi who jumped into the water to help him pick up the card. Seeing the waves on the side of the boat getting higher and higher, Yugi could not stand for a long time. He said to Hui: "My friend, my friend jumped into the water to help me pick up those cards!"

Hui looked down and found that the blond assassin was floating in the waves of the sea. The situation was extremely critical! But he didn't seem to care about his own safety, but desperately looking for something in the waves.

Hui (Li Zheng) marveled at the physical strength of Chengouchi and also sighed that the kid was so lucky. If the ship was moving now, he would most likely die, but fortunately, it was just a rare stop time in a day. But the situation was still dangerous. Hui felt that she should be able to do something. She looked back and looked around, and soon found that the door of the maintenance room on one side was open, and there was a soft ladder inside.

Hui turned around and said to Yugi, "How about this, you watch here, I'll go over and bring the ladder over, and we'll save him together."

"Okay!" Yugi agreed without hesitation, and Hui ran to the maintenance room on the side. The soft ladder was still too heavy for her. Hui had only considered her strength in her previous life and thought it was easy to lift the soft ladder, but she forgot that she was now using the body of the contractor Dongfeng Gu Hui, and her strength was too much.

Just when Hui was in trouble, Yugi on the side seemed to have jumped into the sea for some reason!

Hui was even more flustered now, but it was good, just when she didn't know what to do, a young man with a crew cut and a brown-haired girl also passed by the maintenance room.

"Help, just now, that Muto Yugi and another person jumped into the sea! Help me carry this ladder..." Just as Hui hadn't finished speaking, the young man with a crew cut and the brown-haired girl immediately became more anxious than her.

"What, Yugi jumped into the sea!"

"Hurry, we have to save them!"

The two said this at the same time. Hui felt that they might be old acquaintances of Yugi and Jonouchi, so she didn't say anything, but just nodded and moved the ladder out with the two of them.

Arriving at the place where Yugi had just jumped into the sea, Hui and the crew-haired young man threw the ladder down together. After a while, Yugi and Jonouchi, who were wet all over, finally got on the boat.

Everyone helped the weak Jonouchi and Yugi to the deck. Hui said that they were very likely to catch a cold now, so they went back to her room to rest first. No one objected to this.

Only Yugi noticed one thing, that is, those who can have single rooms on this ship are all masters who ranked in the top few in the previous competitions. So, who is this girl in front of him...

"Boy, your name is Jonouchi, right? Don't be so impulsive next time. It's easy to hurt yourself and your friends in danger." In the girl's room, Hui gave two handkerchiefs in the room to Anzi and Honda, asking them to help Jonouchi and Yugi dry, and also complained about Jonouchi - the body of the contractor Dongfeng Gu Hui was surprisingly weak. She still felt a little pain in her arms after moving a soft ladder.

"Yeah... I'm always like this, I can't protect anyone..." Jonouchi muttered to himself, he raised his head and looked at the people around him, and finally his lifeless eyes fell on Yugi, "Yugi, I'm sorry, card... I only picked up two..."

"You still worry about the card!" Hui suddenly felt that this person was unreasonable. It's good for young people to be impulsive, but it doesn't mean that you can joke about your own life and the lives of others. "Did you jump into the sea to pick up the card? Then do you know that you almost died!"

"What do you know!" Facing Hui's accusation, Jonouchi's eyes turned red and he angrily retorted, "You don't understand! In the game card, there is something that I must protect with my life!"

"I don't know what the hell you are talking about," Hui was also angry. This guy is not only a middle school student but also has a bad temper. "I only know that you just joked about your own life and almost killed Yugi. If it weren't for me and ...Hey... and..." Hui suddenly got stuck. He touched the back of his head embarrassedly and looked at the shaved boy and the brown-haired girl beside him with a little apology: "Sorry, I forgot to ask your names."

"Don't worry, my name is Mazaki Kyoko, and this is Honda Hiro." The brown-haired girl - now she should be called Mazaki Kyoko - introduced Hui. After introducing herself, she also said to Jonouchi with a face full of complaints: "She is right, Jonouchi, you should at least consider other people's feelings! Do you know how much danger you have put yourself and the game in! And this sister..."

"Tofutani Hui." Hui introduced herself.

"Well, Dongfeng Gujie... Dongfeng Gu Hui? Are you Dongfeng Gu Hui, the only female duelist among the top eight players in the national competition?" Xingzi suddenly became excited. After nodding her head, Xingzi looked at Jonouchi again and continued to scold: "Sister Dongfeng Gu, a girl, has to move such a heavy ladder for you. If not, you are really hopeless! Can't you just let us and Sister Dongfeng Gu worry less?"

Although she was scolding, the deep concern in it was even felt by Hui (Li Zheng), a programmer who hardly talked to girls in his previous life, not to mention Jonouchi who was being scolded by Xingzi now.

[Sure enough, they have known each other for a long time, and they must have a deep friendship. Then, after comprehensive analysis, Muto Yugi is the male protagonist, and his strength must be not weak; Jonouchi seems to be a relatively important character - at least it should be a relatively important character in the early stage - his strength should be weaker than Yugi, but stronger than passers-by and bosses; the other two should be equivalent to secondary supporting roles, right? I don't know if this Mazaki Anko is the heroine. If she is, her strength may not be bad in this anime that focuses on duels, but it's not accurate. Anyway, try to overestimate it to avoid accidents...】

Li Zheng was known for his quick thinking in his previous life, and now it doesn't take much time to analyze so many twists and turns. At this time, Yugi began to defend Jonouchi. He seemed to want to take all the blame on himself. This is not only because they are friends, but more importantly, it may be to prevent Jonouchi from being discouraged by Anko and not daring to go to the competition. After all, compared with Hui who just met, Anko, an old classmate, is much more professional in beating Jonouchi.

"Anko, don't blame Jonouchi for everything. In fact, it's mainly my fault today. If I hadn't casually shown the 'Sealed Egyptian Messenger' to that Yuga, Jonouchi wouldn't have jumped into the sea." Yugi said self-reproachfully, "So Anko, and Sister Dongfenggu, don't be angry with Jonouchi, okay?"

【"The Sealed Egyptian Messenger"? 】Li Zheng was a little surprised, [I didn't expect that this Muto Yugi was actually an Old Ai deck! I don't know what kind of Old Ai deck it is? A way to live? It shouldn't be possible. With 000lp, what's the point of playing a way to live? Dragon draw Old Ai? That's not right. I tried to add "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" to the deck just now and failed. It's a special plot card and can't be added. What's more, Dragon draw Old Ai must be paired with a tuning monster like "Legendary White Stone"...]

Li Zheng thought about it and finally determined that Yugi's deck is likely to be a library Old Ai that plays magic counters!

(Alas... If a time traveler who has read the original work knew Li Zheng's current conclusion, would he laugh to death?)
