Chapter 23: Ghost Cards

The update has been unstable recently.,So guilty.,I originally promised to change the chapter last night.,It turned out that it didn't happen because of too much energy...... This chapter is to make up for yesterday.,Today's we'll continue to code.。

In addition, take a preventive shot, and the plot after that...... It's going to be forever, always in the dark.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Hello, Shiro?" Tapir Liang came to the side of several people and showed a harmless smile.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Hello, Tapir. ”

Li Bai hesitated, but still didn't turn his face directly.

With the plot already known, it is impossible for her to get along peacefully with this quasi-final boss, as long as there is no mandatory mission, she will definitely kill him at any cost. The system seems to understand this, so after the Kingdom War, Tapira did not return to Tong Shino with everyone as planned, he hid in Europe and did not reappear until now.

It's terrible...... A bunch of unexpected circumstances had disrupted my schedule, and I didn't expect him to stand in front of me early!

The girl was calm on the surface, but in her heart it was turbulent, and the arrival of Tapir Liang was too sudden, and she was not prepared for anything at all.

What to do, there's no time to get rid of this troublesome guy right now......

"What's wrong? What are you doing here? Tapir Liang scratched the back of his head, as if he was puzzled why Li Bai suddenly began to be in a daze, "Let's go, everyone is in the aquarium!" ”

"You ......" Li Bai couldn't control her facial expression this time, she stared at each other with her mouth wide open, her mind blank.

What's the situation?

All indications are that Tapir was the personality of the King of Thieves at the time of the attack on Bekas, and that he could not give Tapir any more chance after regaining physical dominance; Moreover, the original tapir appeared at the time of the quarterfinals, and he also looked like an ignorant teenager at that time, but it was a deliberate illusion - he had already formed an alliance with Malik here in the aquarium.

Does that mean that his current appearance is also fake?

But if that's the case, then shouldn't he just stop me from joining my companions now, why did he let me into the aquarium so lightly?

Li Bai couldn't figure it out.

"I just thought it was too noisy inside and wanted to come out quietly, but I didn't expect to meet Bai directly! Great, they'll be happy to see you! Tapir Liang stepped forward and took Li Bai's hand without everyone reacting.

"Come on! Let's go! ”

"Wait a minute!" Nate quickly flashed between the two and slapped Tapir's hand away, "Don't touch her!" ”

"Huh?" Peacock Dance glanced at Nate playfully.

Tapir Liang seemed to be frightened, he found out that this black-haired girl had never seen it before?

The atmosphere was a little stiff when she made such a fuss, and Nate also regretted it a little after reacting, it was completely her instinctive reaction just now. She didn't know why she had made such a drastic move, and she could only attribute it to her duties as a guard.

"Alright...... If you're jealous, you won't do it in person. Sighing, Peacock Dance had no choice but to stand up and adjust, "Although these two guys are both white-haired, I vouch for my personality that they have little chance of getting better." ”

"......" Li Bai was too lazy to talk about her anymore.

"Hey, what is your name dancer, don't think that you can spread rumors casually if you take us for a ride!" Nate viciously said to Peacock Dance, "Beware of me beating you!" ”

Because of the angle, she didn't see clearly what the Peacock Dance did to Li Bai on the road, otherwise she would definitely not just play tricks like this.

"Alright, don't make a fuss." Li Bai rubbed his temples and stopped them from continuing the bullfight, "Nit, this guy is just joking, just get used to it." ”

Because of the limitations of gender, women are more likely to quarrel, and she is not unaware of this...... Even she herself was shot, but at this moment she couldn't help but have a different sense of disgust for the people around her; The more complicated situation and repeated mistakes in prediction brought her unimaginable pressure, and she felt like a squeezed spring, which could hurt others or herself if she was not careful.

"Tapir, when did you meet everyone?" Li Bai stared at Tapir Liang coldly, she had to figure out who was standing in front of her.

"Huh? When? "Not long ago, I wanted to call you as soon as I returned to Japan, but my phone happened to run out of battery......

"How long ago was it?" Li Bai stared at his eyes carefully.

"About 20 minutes ago." Tapir quickly replied to her, her eyes unblinking.

"Hey, what are you guys doing, why don't you go in when you get there?" Joker stayed aside and couldn't help but speak, she didn't come completely voluntarily, and she was full of contradictions when she was left to the side, because she didn't know if she was ready to accept the new life that Li Bai described to her.

Lichd's relentless gaze stung her deeply, and she suddenly wondered why her loyalty was not as good as a change in her plans.

She couldn't accept this, so for the first time, she subjectively defied the Gurus, to whom she was allegiated.

Have I really made up my mind?

She herself has no answer to this question.

"You're right." Li Bai was a little surprised, and said something for granted.

Joker's words woke her up, they lacked time now, and no matter what sinister obstacles they had, they could only move straight forward; The presence of Tapir did disrupt her plans, but as long as she was on guard, there should be no problem - the aquarium was a public place, and even if he did join forces with Malik, he wouldn't worry about them doing anything in a crowded place.

"Let's go."

"Looks like your head isn't dizzy?" Peacock Dance reached out and stroked her hair and stretched her waist.

Alone in the world for many years, she has more vision and experience than anyone here - not to mention tapir, she has long been aware of the strange relationship and atmosphere between Li Bai and the other two girls, but she deliberately didn't point it out.

For example, the black-haired girl's attitude towards Li Bai is caring, but there is a vague element of respect, if she hadn't discovered this in some details, she might have thought that this child was interested in Li Bai.

The other was even more bizarre, with an unusually similar face, and the robe clearly belonged to the notorious card-hunting organization Gurus, who was somewhat at odds with the other two.

Peacock Dance has never been reckless in key matters, and after finding out that Li Bai didn't plan to tell her all, she didn't ask again.

It's just that now it doesn't seem to be as simple as she guessed before.

"Ahh I just remembered that there was still work to be done! Tapir Liang suddenly wailed miserably, "They saw that I was fine, so they sent me out to buy cold drinks." He turned to look at Peacock Dance, expectantly, "Uh...... Can you please Sister Mai to help me run? ”

"Sister Mai?" Peacock Dance was stunned, and she glanced at Tapir Liang deeply.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Okay, I'll drive and buy it, you guys go in first. ”

Li ...... White? As he walked along the road, Joker deliberately took half a step behind and called out the girl's name a little stiffly.

"What's wrong, Joker?" Li Bai saw that she wanted to ask herself, so she walked slower.

"It's really ...... to introduce me to your companion in such a hasty manner Is it okay? ”

β€œJoker。” The girl looked at her with a smile, "I know what you're worried about, it's okay, they're probably surprised that you and I look so similar." ”

"Will it?" Joker's eyes widened, and his tone was a little confused, "They won't care about me...... The identity of Gurus? And the thing about your arm......"

"As long as I don't talk about the arm, no one else will know." Li Bai stretched out his hand, intending to stroke the other party's wind-blown hair, "Fool, do you see that my arm looks like it has been broken...... Even if I were going to say it, wouldn't anyone believe it? ”

Joker began to resist Li Bai's actions, wanting to dodge the outstretched hand, but the dodge was only halfway before she forcibly stopped, she looked at the girl's gentle smile blankly, and felt a little like crying.

"I am your enemy, why should you forgive me......"

"Huh? Is it why it is so good to you, I can't say this clearly. Li Bai scratched his head, "Maybe it's because I've been like you......"

"I've experienced this feeling of helplessness as well, so I know what you need most right now."

"I ......"

"Okay, don't talk about it, I'm about to leave the entrance passage in front, let's go." The girl took her hand and led her to speed up, "It's going to be okay, trust me." ”

Finally about to meet everyone again, Li Bai found that she actually missed her companions a little, perhaps because of the experience since the start of the competition, she was very eager to see them.

Because after walking a long distance in the gloomy entrance passage, everyone was a little uncomfortable when they suddenly entered the open-air venue sprinkled with daylight, and Li Bai had to raise his hand to cover the orange-gold light.

"Before you know it, the sun is about to set." She squinted, watching the twilight sunset through her fingers.

Suddenly she was stunned for a moment, it seemed that something was not quite right?

The aquarium in the heart of the city has been renovated and can accommodate up to 2,000 people, so it can't be full at this point, but it should have hundreds of people, right?

With so many people sitting here, why didn't there be a trace of noise in her ears?

"Temple...... Your Highness! Look around! Nit's voice rang out, sounding a little panicked.

The number of people in the aquarium is far more than 100.

Li Bai couldn't hear any noise, because people were sitting in their seats dignified, motionless, like dummies in a wax museum, silence was the only means for these people to prove their existence, the halo of the setting sun shining on them could only be exchanged for numbness, this mysterious scene may even make onlookers have the illusion that they have suddenly broken into an oil painting.

"How could it be ......" Li Bai was completely stunned by this scene.

"Are these people hypnotized? Still is...... Brainwash? ”

But what kind of power can control all the people in the entire aquarium?

This is by no means ...... It's not something that a millennium tin rod alone can do!

"You're right, this masterpiece can't be completed with a single thousand-year-old artifact."

Tapir snapped his fingers lightly, drawing the attention of several girls.

He was no longer the innocent and harmless look, his gloomy eyes were sharper than those of a falcon, and the corners of his mouth were habitually curled, revealing a sarcastic smile.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Sure enough, it's a good thing you did. Li Bai cautiously took two steps back, blocking Nette and Joker behind, "The Millennium Wheel and the Tin Staff do have a chance-have you teamed up with Malik?" ”

"yes, we're teamed up."

Ignoring the girl's vigilance, Tapir Liang walked down the stairs easily and comfortably, and sat down with his back to her, "So I think this time, the game should never have a chance to live again, maybe including you, and your noble brother...... Tsk, what a temper. ”

"You're really a big man, Malik isn't around, and you're the only one who dares to turn your back on me?" The silver-white blade of Dagula's sword was quietly attached to Tapir Liang's ear, Li Bai's face was cold, and the arm holding the hilt of the sword trembled a little, "You didn't come back with us It was the right choice, my brother and I had used all aspects of the relationship to track down your whereabouts, but there was no news because of the lack of manpower in Europe." ”

"Is it amazing to draw inferences based on the fact that the wisdom wheel does not resonate?" Tapiri lifted his chin and turned his head to look at the sunset, as if he was not the one who was being held to the neck by the sharp blade.

"It just so happens that people here have been cut off from thinking and can't get in touch with the outside world." The girl's hand gradually stabilized, and her eyes became more and more determined, "That is to say...... No matter what I do, they can't see it. ”

"So what?"

"Do you believe it that I'm going to end your life right here?"

Skylight Flame's description of the girl is not entirely accurate. After making a trade-off, her ruthlessness is not much inferior to that of a seahorse, especially for a mortal enemy.

"You know, Shiro, I've always liked the way you look." Tapir Liang turned his head and looked at her with a strange and gentle look, "It's beautiful...... Much better than your usual hypocritical look. ”

Li Bai was stunned.

Which play is the other party playing?

However, before the girl could come back to her senses, a sudden sharp pain interrupted her thoughts.

A sharp dagger stabbed deep into her lower back.

Two arc swords fell to the ground with a clattering sound.

Li Bai turned his head mechanically and saw the long snow-white hair of the person behind him fluttering in the air.

Joker's expression has completely changed; Her eyes, which had been a little hesitant and sad, were now dimmed and darkened.

It's like a pool of stagnant water, lifeless.
