Chapter 326 Dawn

The sky is breaking at dawn.

When the first ray of sunlight returned to this world, Tokisaki Kurumi, who had been kneeling in the "Dragon Temple" of Kaiba Paradise for a night, finally waited for the return of a figure.

With a flash of light, Muto Yugi returned from the chaotic world, but neither Kurumi nor Xiaohui and Yukino, who had woken up long ago, waited for another familiar person to return.

"Yugi, Li Zheng...how is he?"

After seeing Yugi's figure, Xiaohui, who had just learned about the situation from Kurumi, went up to ask about the situation as soon as possible. However, facing the expectant eyes of her and Yukino, Kurumi and others behind her, the legendary Pharaoh could only shake his head helplessly.

Xiao Hui was stunned like a stone statue. After learning the bad news about Li Zheng, she seemed to have lost all her strength. Her legs softened and she knelt on the cold marble floor. Tears flowed across her delicate face like dewdrops in the morning light...

"How could it be..." Seeing this development, Fujiwara Yukino covered her mouth, and tears began to swirl in her eyes, revealing despair and fear. She then leaned against the statue of the "girl with blue eyes" beside her, muttering in disbelief: "Could it be that he has..."

At the same time, the elf girl with heterochromatic eyes from another world also widened her beautiful eyes and whispered: "Impossible, impossible... If something happened to him, I would definitely..."

"I saw Li Zheng, he's fine." However, as if she was deliberately panting, Yugi shook his head and added, "It's just that he seems to be busy with something, and he hasn't thought things through, so he can't come back with me for the time being. Sorry, I made you worry..."

"Damn it!" Yugi stopped talking abruptly, because after knowing that Li Zheng was fine, Fujiwara Yukino was the first to rush forward, and didn't care that the man in front of him was Yugi Muto, who had a super long title like "the owner of the legendary three mythical gods, the nameless pharaoh, the god driver of the ancient Egyptian world, the savior of the world, the master of the nameless three dragons, the eternal partner of the elves, and the king of duelists". He directly hit him with a first-level headbutt, "Don't say half of your words!"

Unlike Xiaohui, who is introverted in emotions, and Kuang San, who is good at restraining emotions, Fujiwara Yukino now does not have the aura of a queen who can control the most subtle emotional changes and maintain elegance in any occasion. Fujiwara Yukino, who is still a girl, is passionate now. It is impossible for her to remain calm when facing Yugi's heavy breathing on the topic related to her important people.

"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah..." Yugi Muto, who had just walked out of the mysterious space with his own special effects and background music (the sound of the door to the chaotic world opening was a chord), lost all his fashion sense in an instant. He covered his chest, looking at Yukino who suddenly bumped into him with a painful and confused face - this girl deliberately avoided his "millennium building blocks" and did not hit his stomach - he couldn't figure out why this happened. Didn't he shake his head to explain to them that Li Zheng didn't plan to come back now? Why did they say I was panting? What are they doing?

【“Are you okay? Another me?!”】When Yami Yugi covered his chest, the voice of Oya Yugi came out of the Millennium Blocks. He watched the earth-shaking duel between his other self and Li Zheng and felt very sorry for the current Yami Yugi: 【“Isn’t this too ruthless? We are kind-hearted...eh?”】

Oya Yugi stopped talking suddenly because something made him feel strange: that is, these girls who just seemed to have lost all the meaning of survival suddenly recovered for some reason: Xiaohui, who was kneeling on the ground, wiped her tears, straightened her dress and stood up with a blush; the elf girl with heterochromatic eyes covered her face, as if thinking about something; and Fujiwara Yukino, who had just hit him with a headbutt, breathed a sigh of relief. The three of them said at the same time:

“That’s great...”

【“Hmm... How strange?”】Oya Yugi looked at the girls in front of him whose emotions changed like the weather in June with a confused look on his face. He suddenly felt that this question The question is more difficult to understand than the duels with Kaiba, Xiaohui, and even Li Zheng ["Why did they suddenly get better?"]

At this time, the dark game, whose chest had recovered, suddenly seemed to have figured out something, and said to the public game helplessly: ["Forget it, it's okay; but seeing this situation, I suddenly have something to say to you, aibo."]

["What is it, the other me?"]

["Wait until one day, after I leave..."] Dark game said to the public game calmly, as if entrusting a lifelong event: ["You, take some time to find a girlfriend, don't always play cards."]

Piao Yugi: ["???"]

...

Ignoring the dark game who was trying to match up with the public game, after seeing that the emotions of these girls seemed to have stabilized, Kaiba Seto, who had been standing aside, walked forward with a heavy heart - he woke up in the middle of the night last night and stayed here for a night, just to wait for the return of the game that Kurumi mentioned.

After all, Kaiba had a lot of questions to ask the game.

"Yugi, can you come over here?" Kaiba walked to Yugi's side and said seriously: "I think, you... no, he should have something to say to me, right?"

"You guessed right, Kaiba" Yugi nodded: "Let's go, let's talk over there."

After looking back at the girls who seemed to have nothing to ask after hearing that Li Zheng was fine, Yugi turned around and walked with Kaiba to the other side of the "Dragon Temple", where there was a huge "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" statue. The huge marble statue could not block the view, and it was also designed by Kaiba himself. It was one of the few places in this park without surveillance video.

"There should be no problem here."

After paying attention to it, and exchanging secret codes with Jiu Yuli who was hiding in the bushes next to him, Kaiba began to talk to Yugi. Knowing that this matter was quite relevant, Kaiba did not make it public - since he woke up, Seto Kaiba's mailbox has exploded! The "Meteor Dragon" that flew by the Sky Girl and the fighting "Three Phantom Gods" and "Three Extreme Gods" have long revealed the terrifying future prospects of the "Duel Monsters" in front of people all over the world: the shocking collision in everyone's heart, almost everyone knows that in that duel, the duelists on both sides are absolutely driving real gods!

The thought that in the future, holding a card may be able to obtain a power similar to that of a civil servant from the m78 nebula (crossed out)... the messenger of the ancient gods is enough to make some individuals and organizations swell their blood - they are ready to show their sharp fangs to the still immature Duel Monsters world!

At the same time, as one of the organizations with the greatest relationship with "Duel Monsters", this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Kaiba Group, and also a challenge that can be crushed at any time!

"Kaiba, I think you should know that the current Duel Monsters are probably difficult to be regarded as a simple game." Yugi remembered the duel between himself and Li Zheng in the chaotic space. Even though he and Li Zheng were so strong that they almost couldn't pick up the cards because of too many relationships and involvements in the duel, it was unpredictable what would happen to those ordinary duelists.

By that time, how many "real duelists" would there be? How many hearty duels would there be? According to Li Zheng, according to the laws of this world, the decrease in the number of "pure duels" will really lead to the end of the world.

Looking at the serious expression of Kaiba Seto in front of him, the nameless Pharaoh recited what Li Zheng said to him at the end of the duel: "Li Zheng told me that in the future, many other organizations that were originally unrelated to duels will also intervene..."

"There are rumors that the military of various countries are ready to intervene." Kaiba interrupted Yugi and said: "Even if everyone knew the strategic significance of the 'Dark Duelist' before, they would not..."

"Eh?" Yugi suddenly said in surprise: "'Dark Duelist'? Kaiba, don't you regard the dark game as a superpower? This... is a bit unlike you."

"It's just a title. People will change sooner or later." Kaiba glossed over this detail, but when he said this, he still glanced back at a certain shrine maiden who was comforting his sister and waiting for him, and then said to Yugi: "Although I still think that the dark game is a superpower, it's just a superpower that current technology cannot interpret for the time being. ability; apart from that, you also know that in this situation, I, Bekas, and the new IFD and IFD, etc., all need the support of Li Zheng and his "Taichi". "

"I know this." Yugi nodded, "This time, he also told me about this situation. According to Li Zheng, this problem will be exposed sooner or later, and he just brought it forward. After exposing this problem and making the Duel Monsters world flourish, Li Zheng said that he originally had a plan that could cure the disease in one step, but the problem is that this plan can only be done by himself. "

"You mean, he doesn't plan to implement this plan now?" Kaiba frowned and asked-what a smart man he is, he can understand from the tone of Yugi's speech that Li Zheng is definitely having problems now, and there is a solution, but he is hiding the rhythm of not using it.

"Well, because he has a problem that he can't figure out for the time being, he said that only when he figured it out, the solution will make sense." Muto Yugi nodded and said, "So, he doesn't plan to show up for the time being."

"What should we do? Just wait for the situation to collapse?" Kaiba was unreasonable about Li Zheng's behavior: "Yugi, this lesson is not just about us! It involves all future duelists and the future direction of duels. He just gave up because of his own problem... Then me, Bekas, and those who followed him and 'Tai What should be done with the people behind Yi' and all the duelists who will duel under the rules of IFD and IFD that he planned to establish in the future? ! "

When Kaiba said this, his brows were already furrowed. The international duelist organizations IFD and IFD were established by Li Zheng. During the establishment process, both Kaiba and Bekas made great concessions in order to realize the "future" that Li Zheng had promised them before, relying on their trust in Li Zheng, the comrade who had saved this opportunity from the hands of "Doma".

However, now, after Li Zheng disappeared, that promise has become a pie in the wall that cannot be swallowed, and that trust is about to become a meaningless past tense.

Li Zheng has already been too involved with the world - if he were to put down everything and go to a school to continue his unfinished studies, it would be almost impossible (Note 1).

Unless there is a more important reason.

But now, after seeing such a completely different Kaiba, Yami Yugi, who had "relevant experience" thousands of years ago, was fine, but Omo Yugi, who had never run a business, looked incredulous, ["The other me" , Kaiba, he..."]

["Calm down, aibo."] An Yugi said to Omo Yugi in his heart: "For entrepreneurs like Seto Kaiba, pressure occurs almost every day. This time it is just a little bit bigger."]

["Slightly?"] Yugi expresses confusion - Kaiba has shown this side, is it still just "slightly"?

["Ah, a little bit."] An Yugi said: ""At least we are back, at least... we don't have any clues."]

Without continuing to talk to Omo Yugi, Yami Yugi looked at Kaiba in front of him and took something out of his pocket: "Kaiba, I remember you said before that you wanted to organize a duel academy, right?"

"To be honest, before you found me, I was already considering whether to stop the Duel Academy project - because I have doubts about whether the Kaiba Group can be saved in the future." Kaiba did not show any concern for Yugi. Cover up this kind of information that is a secret even among the decision-makers of the Kaiba Group - because after Li Zheng's disappearance, Yugi is the only person he can truly trust at the moment.

In fact, as comrades who once faced the end of this world together, Kaiba's trust in these two people even exceeds that of his brother Keppei to a certain extent!

"Please...be sure not to do that." After hearing what Kaiba said, Yugi took out a letter from his pocket and said to Kaiba: "This is what Li Zheng wants to tell you, take a look. ”

Kaiba picked up the letter dubiously and read it carefully, word for word.

"Is this... really okay?" Soon, Kaiba finished reading, his expression slightly shocked: "But, why does Taichi support..."

Afterwards, Yugi took out another card and said to Kaiba: "Take this, go to the Taiyi branch in Europe, find Tokiomi Tohsaka, and everything will come to light."

Seto Kaiba looked at the card given by the game and nodded.

At this time, the sky gradually lit up, and warm sunlight began to shine on the "blue-eyed white dragon" behind Kaiba. At the same time, due to the angle, the sunlight stretched the shadows of Kaiba and Yugi very long.

"It's dawn..."

"Yes, the darkness has passed."
