Just as this farce was intensifying, no one noticed that a pair of peeping eyes were looking at a skyscraper a few blocks away from the school building.

A girl with long black hair was standing at the top of the building, wearing a wide robe, which was also white, and it was easy to classify it as a light path monster if you didn't look closely.

"Is she awake?" A somewhat mechanical question came from the headphones.

"It seems to be awakened, and I can feel her unique soul fluctuations."

The girl combed the wind-blown hair back and pressed it to her chest and stroked it slowly.

"Can you try to bring her back?"

"No, I can feel that at least two powerful forces are suppressing me, not to mention opening up the dimensional wall in this situation, I can't even use a tenth of my own strength."

"Is there a presence around her that could threaten her?"

"I haven't found it yet, but ...... There is a place in the city that is sealed with a huge amount of energy, and it seems to be part of those two oppressive forces. ”

…… It's very weird, the mechanical voice just keeps asking questions one by one, and the black-haired girl only formulaically answers these questions one by one, and they don't have any other communication other than that, for example, the girl never asks the other party any questions, as if she knows that she won't get any response.

"Then leave her defense to you, and do your best - for Mithra's sake." (Note)

“…… Got it. The girl was a little melancholy when she heard this, and the hair in her hand was wrapped into several dead knots by her, and after a long time, she exhaled a breath of turbidity, reached out and pressed a button on the earphones.

"For Mithra."

As the button representing the end of the last round of questions and answers was pressed, there was a crackling electric crackle in the strange earphone, and the girl took it off her head without paying attention, and then looked at it a little distracted.

"Fried's that guy...... I guess it will be a few months before I receive these letters. ”

"The rest of the days are going to be boring again." She sighed and looked back to see the white-haired maid tossing a cup of hot chocolate at her brother through the half-open window.

"Is the council's decision really correct...... If that secret is true, is it really a good thing to bring His Highness back......"

Although it has been proved that His Highness does not have the slightest dark power in his body, the monster that eventually appeared during the battle with Bekas...... That kind of ruined atmosphere...... Every time she thinks about it, it makes her very uneasy.

"Forget it."

"Now we are no longer qualified to choose, no matter what kind of power it is, as long as it can lead us back to our former glory...... It's not something intolerable. ”

“…… That's probably what they think. ”

The black-haired girl looked at the figure she was responsible for guarding and sighed wistfully again.

"Let's find a time to meet her."

====================================

―Seahorse House―

Seahorse Seto changed his clothes and sat on the sofa with a tense face, while Li Bai and Keihei sat opposite him.

The girl had changed back into her normal clothes, leaving only the white stockings on her legs that had not had time to take off, and at the moment she felt that the touch of her legs being wrapped seemed to bring a sense of security?

“…… Do you know what's wrong with you? ”

"Yes......"

The two of them first glared at each other, and then lowered their heads in a look of repentance.

"Forget it, after all, it's still relatively young...... Bai, how can you make me feel at ease to hand over one-third of the group's operations to you? Seahorse frowned, resting her right hand on the arm of the sofa to support her forehead, and looked at the girl with some disappointment.

I wasn't the one who smashed you with chocolate and coffee!

Li Bai really wanted to argue like this, but she really couldn't explain the matter of Yan now...... Don't talk about her, even Tianguangyan herself doesn't know her specific origin, so how can she speak.

The girl opened her mouth, but finally gave up the explanation, and silently lowered her head to respond to her brother's questioning in silence, and now she finally realized what it was like to be more wronged than Dou E.

"It's good that nothing is dangerous this time...... I won't bother with you, but you have to understand your position, white. Seahorse didn't let her go just because of her silence, but continued to sort out the stakes for her strictly, "You're almost seventeen years old, and you're about to take care of the entire Seahorse Group with me, and I don't want to see this kind of immature behavior from you again." ”

"I heard from the Trojan that you still need Xia Ji to drag you when you get up every day?"

"There is no such thing!" Li Bai pinched Gui Ping's waist with his right hand that was bent behind his back, making his whole face instantly turn the color of pig liver, "I just think that this is indeed part of Xia Ji's daily work, in fact, every time she comes to call me, I am already awake!" Merely...... It's just to cooperate with her duties that I deliberately waited for her to call me......"

"I see, there's no best." Seahorse interrupted her with a wave of his hand, he had always had little patience for such trivialities.

"The next thing to talk about is more important, Keihei will go back to the room first."

"Brother-" Keipei couldn't help but jump off the sofa when he heard this, "I'm not too young now!" Why are you still hiding a lot of things from me like you used to!? After speaking, he turned his head to look at Li Bai again.

"Is it because I have a sister...... So you ......"

"Can this kind of thing be a joke?" Haira had a long voice, and it seemed that she was really angry, "Although Bai has a stubborn personality, she is indeed capable, and she is about to become an adult...... When you're older, I'll do the same to you. ”

Seeing that Guiping was about to cry when he said something, he had to soften his tone: "Go back to your room and rest...... Well, I didn't mean not to let you know, this incident has something to do with Bekas. ”

This sentence was indeed very effective, even if it had been a long time since that incident, the fear in the dungeon of Becas City still hovered in Keiping's heart for a long time, lingering; It was Li Bai, who was a little puzzled about what the seahorse was going to say while watching Guiping leave accompanied by the servant.

Asked her to inform the housekeeper that it was still timely, Becas did not die, but was rescued urgently.

The knife that tapir dug in his eye socket was not deep and did not hurt the skull or brain, which may also be because it was not the first time that he had suffered such trauma, and a large part of the death of Rebeccas in the original comic book was probably due to excessive blood loss that no one noticed for a long time.

Li Bai was relieved to hear the news at that time, she actually didn't know whether Becas should die or not, because she couldn't calculate the specific timeline - it seemed that he was really dead in the comics, but in the anime, he also appeared in GX...... Therefore, she has always taken this incident very seriously, so that she can remember to report to Teros at the first time.

As for tapirs...... Recently, I wrote to them, saying that I would continue to live there for a period of time to accompany my parents, and based on this, the girl could not directly say that he was the murderer.

Li Bai thought about it and decided to let him go for the time being, after all, Tapir Liang's personality is not evil, the source of the tragedy is just the remnant soul of the thief king in his body, and doing it casually will also affect an originally happy family, which is something that the girl does not want to see.

"That guy Becas should have fully recovered."

Seeing that Guiping completely disappeared from his sight under the guidance of the servant, the seahorse turned his head and stared at Li Bai again, "It's just that the theft of the Millennium Eye is still not a trivial matter, and I think you know this as well—the power it has is really terrifying...... So I've accepted his offer: to start a limited cooperation with him for the time being, and use the power of the group to search for suspicious people in Japan and commercial areas. ”

"Are there any results so far?"

Li Bai asked dryly.

It's a terrible feeling to know the truth and not be able to tell it.

"Not yet!" Seahorse also has a headache about this, "But the investigation will last for a long time, and it is normal that there is no news now, after all, the transmission of the message itself will take time, whether it is the news of suspicious people or the news we transmit." ”

"Let's not mention this matter for the time being, there is one more thing I want to discuss with you, which is also the main purpose of me to keep you." Seahorse took a sip from the cup on the coffee table, and he had been talking about it from the beginning of the lecture until now, and his mouth was really dry.

"What is it?"

"Rules." Seahorse put down the cup and quietly looked into his sister's eyes, "Your deeds in the Duelist Kingdom have spread around the world...... That's not really a good thing. ”

"Is it because of my cards that didn't have zài? Light Path? Li Bai also became a little solemn when she heard this, she had a premonition that this situation would happen, because not everyone could understand her "superficial" special situation, and if this point was excluded, jealousy was also a major factor in the dispute.

"Yes and no, a large part of the doubts are directed at the Chaos Emperor Dragon."

"The monster you summoned at the last minute...... I'll just call it that, the monster's power is too strong, and the cost of 1000 LP points is not too high for victory, and this advantage will be even more obvious when replaced by the sacrifice rules of the international tournament, because in that rule, the player's LP is not 2000 but 4000 points; Rumors were made before that tournament that Becas was going to separate the Chaos Warrior cards from the ritual cards and attach some unique effects to them, and they were afraid, afraid that Becas would do so and separate it from your Chaos Dragon. ”

“…… And keep its effect unchanged? ”

Li Bai now understands a little, sure enough, the card of Emperor Dragon, whether it is in reality or in the original plot, will affect the balance of the game, in reality, because of the tactics of Emperor Dragon Ba Tai Wu, in the original plot, it can directly determine the trend of the game - compared to the LP of 8000 points in reality, the 4000 points of blood in the original plot will soon be gone, and I can't help but play at all.

"Exactly." Seahorse nodded approvingly, he had always admired Li Bai's outstanding comprehension ability, otherwise he would not have agreed to hand over the work of the group to her with the girl's strong dueling strength alone.

"So in response to this situation, Becas explained as soon as he recovered: he invited you, along with some media who have been paying attention to it, to his island, intending to hear the matter at once, and also to give an explanation to the duelists all over the world...... Since there is no ban, there will definitely be many interested duelists and game enthusiasts who will attend this trial, so you should be prepared. ”

The meaning of Seahorse's words is more subtle, and he is also giving his sister a wake-up call, so that she can be mentally prepared for what is likely to be the worst outcome.

"Okay...... I know. Li Bai exhaled, she understood what the seahorse meant.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to be slumped without that card." She smiled at the seahorse, "Gragunis' power surpasses that of the Chaos Emperor Dragon in terms of attack power, and if the international system is followed, the power of the cherubim can be fully utilized...... I wonder if anyone will stand up and demand that they be banned? ”

"There's no need to rush everyone to the opposite side, I'm just telling you the worst, Becas is not an unreasonable person, and even if he does what most people ask, he will definitely give you extra compensation alone."

The seahorse reached out and rubbed the girl's hair.

"You know him well......

"Of course." Seahorse stood up and stretched, moving his stiff muscles, and only in front of his family would he make these more relaxed movements, "Although we had a grudge before, I still know the essence of that guy very well. ”

"Because in a way, he's the same kind of person as me."
