Chapter 42: Knocking on the Door of Death
Walking out of the room arranged by Isis with a calm smile, Li Bai had the urge to hum music here.
Her last worries could finally be put aside for a while.
Shady, because the previous tomb keeper could no longer peek into any bit of darkness in her soul with the help of two artifacts at the same time...... As far as the eye can see, it is almost the same as the first time she enters her inner world, so he inherited the girl's life-saving grace in the quarterfinals, so he had to temporarily overturn his past views.
But he didn't give up completely, unlike Isis, Shady had witnessed the seal that had been in place, and as a result of this investigation, he attributed it to the fact that the force had left the girl for some unknown reason.
"But I'm not sure if this departure will be permanent, and I'll continue to watch over you as an observer until the law ...... Someone can attain the highest glory until then. β
Thinking of Xia Di's slightly unwilling words before leaving, the corners of Li Bai's mouth couldn't help but rise.
Although it did not completely change Shady's attitude, this conversation at least changed his perspective and position.
That's enough.
The battle she planned was more dangerous than any previous duel, and with the lessons she had learned before, Li Bai certainly had to eliminate the hidden dangers that might arise from a qiΔ, and Xia Di was just one of them.
"We'll have to go to Vane next." Thinking of this name, the girl's high feelings immediately cooled down, "Why do I feel more tired to persuade him than to persuade Xia Di......"
In order to convince Wayne, Li Bai overdrew a lot of "costs", such as promising him a few cute-looking monster cards, and participating in his 5-year-old daughter's birthday party after the game.
"I can't see that he's a pretty good father." Li Bai glanced at the clock on his phone, "Has another 2 hours passed...... But it took less time than I thought it would take...... We had plenty of time for the final rest. β
"According to my brother, you can reach the Duel Tower around 2 p.m."
"Mr. Game and Boss, they are probably already sorting out their cards and cracking new builds, and you're a lot late to them." Angela's hands were smoothly folded in front of her, her eyes were looking at the scene in front of her, she followed closely behind Li Bai, and the position in front of Nit's left was connected to the protection of the girl.
For her implicit ridicule, the girl was noncommittal.
"Yes." She was still playing with a strand of hair on her chest, "But I'm not as dependent on the pass points as they are, and the parts that should be reset and added have been thought out in advance, and this kind of work can be done in less than half an hour." β
After speaking, Li Bai let his gaze stay on Angela's face for two or three more seconds, so that she could clearly feel her gaze.
This new bodyguard has a very interesting personality, far from being as calm as it seems, and I don't know if it's just for her...... The girl felt the need to make her understand her duty.
"Hmph......" Angela first stubbornly looked at Li Bai, but she quickly noticed that something was wrong.
Those bright red pupils...... The will contained in it seems to be "three-dimensional", and the description of the eye structure does not seem to be enough to fully describe it, through the baptism of heavy pupils, she gradually forgot her prejudice and contempt for Li Bai, and just stared at her so sluggishly.
"Ahh It wasn't until Li Bai took the initiative to let go of this oppression that Angela came back from her trance, she stretched out her hand to block her eyes, and her body couldn't help but retreat, until she hit the wall of the corridor with a muffled sound, Tong GuΓ² leaned back against the steel, and she suddenly felt the coolness transmitted from her back - sweat had unconsciously soaked the Neesugi.
What was the hallucination of that moment just now...... It is the president's ...... Is she in charge?
Angela recalled the strange emphasis that came with receiving the order.
"Do your best".
She had been lurking in England for many years, and even if she had no experience, just listening to all kinds of secret rumors was enough for her to enrich her experience, but she had never seen any order accompanied by such a message that "amounted to admitting the risk of failure", and it was precisely on this basis that she had a bad impression of the object of her protection before she met the girl, and she would be a little overstep in her attitude.
Now it seems that that emphasis is like a disguised reminder to herself, asking her to weigh her strength and status.
Don't hold back.
Angela...... I'll just call you Angie, it doesn't sound so rusty, does it? β
A slender hand reached out to Angela - only now did she realize that her body had gradually slid to the ground with her association, and the long pale yellow skirt had been turned into a short skirt due to the reaction of the force against the wall, and it was only a little closer to seeing what the gentlemen were most missing.
Li Bai looked at her amusedly, screamed again, jumped up from the ground at a speed beyond the limits of human beings, and quickly arranged his dress, like a rabbit that was suddenly electrocuted.
"I ...... I, I'm sorry for the unusual behavior. After basically regaining her demeanor, Angela squirmed and grabbed the girl's outstretched hand in the air, but now it seemed that its nature was completely different from that of a few seconds ago.
"It's okay." Li Bai smiled a little slyly, excluding the slight disgust caused by the forced arrangement, she actually didn't hate this girl; I even think it's very funny that the other party jumps like thunder after being caught by his own little tail...... If it weren't for the preconceived concept of position, she might have become a bad friend with the other party.
Loss of friends...... Friend......
"Your previous mention is very right, and you are about to reach the last and most important battlefield." The girl's smile faded and changed back to a taciturn image, "Let's go back to the room." β
Angela looked up at Nit, as if she couldn't figure out what was going on.
White...... Why does the love of adults suddenly recur at this time?
After experiencing the awakening just now, she no longer rejects the use of honorifics when addressing Li Bai.
Nit could see a little bit of why, but it was far from what a new protector should know...... So she could only shrug her shoulders and give Angela a helpless look.
Because of the responsibilities of Nette and Angela, they need to sleep in the same room with Li Bai at night, and the room has two extra beds, which looks a little crowded.
In order not to disturb the girl's thoughts, they chose to stay at the door of the room and the small round window, leaving two large sofas and a coffee table for her.
But Li Bai didn't have the heart to adjust the deck before the battle at all.
Just now, she couldn't stop thinking back to Joker, remembering the process of herself and her from the initial fight to the gradual easing of the relationship.
Combined with the scene where the castle fell in front of her eyes, she couldn't concentrate for a while, and she couldn't think of any tactics.
"The lion once told me that maturity is to do what you don't want to do at the moment......" She tucked her hair up from her forehead and held it in place with a black headband to prevent her naughty hair from making her face uncomfortable, and tied her long snow-white hair high from the back of her head with another black headband.
This image reveals the girl's delicate neck and earlobes, making her look less weak and more tough.
After finishing this qiΔ, Li Bai regained his spirits and picked up the stacks of cards scattered on the coffee table for the second time.
"But how could I reject cards?" She gently stroked the edges of each card.
"I can't wait to make history with them......"
==========================================
At 2:10 p.m., a raised obstacle could be seen from the deck at the distant sea level, and after twenty minutes, people could already vaguely distinguish that it was an artificial island.
The entire island is littered with remnants of buildings and rusty industrial waste, except for a mechanical tower in the center that stands out of place in style - it has no rust or signs of decay, and looks like it has recently been completed.
"Here it is...... The former offshore industrial base of Haima Group? A person in the live broadcast team looked at this qiΔ and suddenly remembered a place in his memory, "The direction is not wrong, yes, this should be one of the sea bases that used to manufacture military industry for the Haima Group." β
"I just didn't expect it to be in ruins." He grabbed the guardrail in his hand and took out a few chewing gums from his pocket and distributed them to the surrounding crew, preparing for the shock caused by the airship landing.
"Many of these wrecks are parts of military products." Vane stood on the edge of the guardrail at some point, he was different from his peers, except that his left hand was pressed on the bar, and his right hand was used to identify the old heavy industrial waste, "You see, there is also a landing gear production line specially configured for fighter planes. β
He began to talk to others about the "other" Haima Group from a few years ago.
"At that time, who would have thought that a heavy industry company of this scale would suddenly choose to transform into a game?" In the past, Vane would feel admiration for the seahorse from the bottom of his heart whenever he thought about it, but after seeing the corpse of this history, he finally understood more deeply what a difficult decision it was.
ββ¦β¦ He is not afraid to fall headlong either. Li Bai stood more than a dozen steps away from him, watching him dance with his hands, not knowing what to say.
"Isn't it your idea to impress him with the idea of Haima's transformation enterprise." Tianguangyan didn't have a body, so she didn't care about danger at all, she even floated out of the guardrail directly, suspended in mid-air and grimaced at Li Bai.
The girl watched helplessly at her to reveal the playful side of her nature, and ripped off the black headband, letting the hair on her forehead and temples gently pat her cheeks with the breeze. Now there is no need to sit on the sofa and hang your head down, this thing is naturally useless. She didn't move the headband, she wanted to experience the refreshing feeling more.
"Nice hairstyle." The game also came to the deck, and was slightly stunned when he saw the girl's new image, and then came to her side with relief, "What are those earrings?" β
He happened to be standing to the left of Li Bai, and saw a delicate five-star pendant hanging from her infrequently exposed earlobe, and the familiar appearance reminded him of a certain gambling item.
"Well, the last star medal in the kingdom, I was going to make a souvenir, so I asked someone to make it into an earring." Touching his earlobe, Li Bai turned around a little uncomfortably, and stood up again with his back against the railing.
Being stared at by the opposite sex made her face a little hot, even if this person was Muto Game.
Calming the breath with the cool sea breeze, she asked what was probably the toughest opponent: "Look at how confident you are...... Is it ready to deal with the Dragon of Judgment? β
"Not yet." The game smiled bitterly and honestly confessed, "The power of that dragon has disrupted my previous deployment, and I can't think of any way to restrain it for the time being." β
"Then you're still in the mood to blow the wind with me here?" Li Bai was surprised by his composure, he didn't seem to be worried about losing at all, "Aren't you in a hurry at all?" β
"It's important to get in shape before a duel, even more so than building tactics." The game unbuttoned the first button of the dark blue school uniform on the top, "Say it again...... Is it useful to be in a hurry, no matter how anxious I can't immediately have any flash-like thoughts, these cards have been with me for a long time, and their possibilities in tactical performance have been almost developed. β
"I'm sure they won't let me down."
ββ¦β¦ That's an open-minded idea. Li Bai turned his face sideways and showed a meaningful smile, "But...... Until the end, no one knows what will happen. β
During the conversation, the dueling airship had landed firmly on the artificial island, and the two of them did not delay any longer, and walked off the deck together, intending to meet their acquaintances and go to the surface.
"Hmm...... Wow! Sure enough, it's still solid and comfortable to step on! β
As soon as he got off the stairs, Li Bai was stunned to see the peacock dancing stretched out as if no one was around, and his fiery figure was perfectly revealed, making the eyes of many male creatures around him straighten.
"Idiot! What are you doing? Angrily pulled the woman aside, and Li Bai counted her down with a stern face.
"Huh? White? Have you changed your hairstyle? Peacock Dance reacted quickly, and broke away from the girl's hand with a smile, "I'm not doing well...... Floating in the air for a long time is really insecure, don't you think...... Ah, you look so much cooler than you used to......"
The difference between Eastern and Western cultural concepts makes her more open than a girl, and compared to before, the peacock dance seems to be much more cheerful now, only a trace of worry is left in the deepest part of her pupils.
"The person in charge of the live broadcast, please follow me directly to the studio on the top floor of the Duel Tower!" Keipyeong was the last to jump down the stairs, and then went straight to the front of the crowd and began to give orders, "The rest of the audience should come along, the elevator entrance to the top floor is a place." β
"As for the four contestants...... Hehe, you just listen to your brother. He's going to take you from the bottom and up in a very 'special' way. β
"Dueling Tower." After repeating the word, Peacock Dance nodded slightly, "The new tall tower erected in the ruins, no matter how obscure it was before, will also be given a milestone commemorative significance after this competition." β
"Seahorses really have ideas...... I can also take this opportunity to promote the history of my company's transformation and win more fame and goodwill. β
Watching the crowd sparsely follow Guiping towards the bottom of the dueling tower, Peacock Dance took advantage of the fact that there were not many people here and gave the girl a hug unexpectedly.
"We must win." Her voice was so soft that it could only be heard if she was close to her ears.
"I don't want to...... I don't want you to be the same as the castle. β
These two sentences stopped the girl's intention to push her away, Li Bai hesitated, simply let go of the restraints, and responded and hugged back.
She seems to have made another mistake, being too subjective about her deformed thoughts about herself, and ignoring that she is also an ordinary person without any power...... In fact, Peacock Dance was already extremely strong, and even after the fall of the castle, she was only secretly depressed and did not bring negative feelings to others.
It wasn't until this could be the last meeting that she couldn't help but burst out with the fear that lurked deep inside.
Am I being deceived by her cheerful mask?
Sniffing the mature female fragrance on the other party's body, Li Bai regretted his dullness a little.
"Of course."
"I'll beat him, he doesn't even know his sister."
"Poof!" Yan SΓΉ's atmosphere was destroyed by the girl's words, and Peacock Dance laughed dumbly, "No, no, no, I can't pretend anymore......" She let go of Li Bai and turned her head to look at the halfway team, "I'll go up first." β
ββ¦β¦ Come on. β
After speaking, she quickly stretched out her hand when the girl wanted to respond, pulled the high ponytail around her ear, and pulled it a little harder.
"Ahh Suddenly attacked, Li Bai could only instinctively scream, and when she reacted to what she had been done, her face turned red for a while, and she gritted her teeth and glared at the blonde woman who had run away, "I don't know whether I am alive or dead!" What are you doing!? β
"Revenge!" While running, the peacock danced triumphantly shaking his left hand, showing off several snow-white hairs between his fingers.
Li Bai was dumbfounded, vaguely remembering that she had pulled her hair once before in the quarterfinals, but she didn't expect the Peacock Dance to be remembered until now.
An incomprehensible madwoman!
I was sympathetic to her before?
β¦β¦
Led by Seahorse, the four people, including Malik, walked into the slightly empty first floor of the Duel Tower.
But they soon found it a bit inappropriate to describe it as a layer, because from here they could see the zenith high above, and judging by the distance, the entire tower was hollow in the very center.
"What is Seahorse trying to do?" The game looked around around and noticed that there were four identical machines, each with the same spacing between them, and that behind each of them, at the junction with the wall, there were devices similar to electromagnetic tracks leading to the zenith.
"Let me explain the rules." Under the gaze of several others, Seahorse took the lead on one of the machines, took out a black wire pipe from under the countertop, and inserted the other end of it into a connector at the bottom of the duel disc in his hand.
"The machine itself also has the function of illusion manifestation, and the duel disc can be connected to this machine, and if you want to be convenient, you can also not take off the dueling disc." "This connection is mainly to record the change in the value of the player's LP, so as to manipulate the distance it rises. β
"The higher the damage received, the higher the distance he will rise, and when the player's LP reaches 0, he will also be sent directly to the top of the tower."
"The first two duelists to reach the top of the tower will play the first semi-finals, while the next two will start the second match after they have decided the winner."
"Wait, Seahorse." The game interrupted him aloud, "I see that there are four identical sets of machines here, does that mean we're going to be manipulating them all at the same time to start fighting?" β
"This way of deciding on grouping, is it a melee?"
"It's a scuffle, indeed." Seahorse's gaze swept over the other three, only pausing slightly on Li Bai's face.
"Everyone can attack everyone but themselves."
"How? If we have enough ability, we can manipulate the grouping according to our own inner expectations. β
"But it's bound to be interfered with by others." Malik smiled gloomily, "It's a very interesting way to group groups, much more interesting than the previous long quarterfinals......"
"Let's get started...... he glanced at the white-haired girl staring at him behind him, the tyranny hidden in his heart tearing his face apart again, looking particularly distorted and hateful.
"Some people can't wait to meet the Grim Reaper."
