After following the old man around the scrap iron scarecrow that would jump up and smash people at any time, and walked through two pits that did not start and a forced exit device, Lou Bai and the three finally came to the old man's house. It is a small, dilapidated two-story house with walls reinforced with discarded iron sheets, and from the outside, ropes and an alarm can be seen from the open windows on the second floor.

"Come in." The old man beckoned, and he was the first to open the door and walk in.

"Aren't you living here alone?" Walking into the living room and seeing three chairs around the table, Larry asked suspiciously.

The old man responded angrily: "Who said I was alone?!" They will definitely be back! With that, he entered a room and left Lou Bai and the others in the living room.

"Alas, Master, why did you come here with this strange old man, he wouldn't let us pick up cards here, let's just go somewhere else!" While the old man entered the room, Larry stretched out his hand and poked Lou Bai, who was standing aside and observing the surroundings, and asked.

"Haha, I'm looking for an answer to this question!" Lou Bai laughed a few times dryly, and fooled around with Brother Xiao Ming's lines. To be honest, Lou Bai really has no reason to come here, what good is it for him to know the old man's story? If you have the time to get here, why don't you follow Larry to find the card somewhere else? But I don't know why, there was a strong emotion surging in my heart at that time, which prompted him to say those words and do those things.

Maybe he saw his father in him, right? Lou Bai silently thought in his heart, if my parents didn't abandon me on purpose, then when I saw them, would they be like this?

While Larry was talking to Lou Bai, the old man walked out with a photo.

In the background of the photograph is a jungle, in which a young couple puts their hands on the shoulders of a child, and all three are smiling happily.

"This person, is that you?" Lou Bai asked, pointing to his father in the photo.

"Ah, yes." The old man's face was full of loneliness. He caressed the photo and recalled with some sadness: "You can call me Lao Tie, and the picture is my wife and children." When I was younger, I was too busy with work to pay much attention to them, and when I came back to my senses, I realized that my most important treasure had left me. ”

"You should be able to figure it out." Lao Tie raised his head and said to Lou Bai: "That feeling that because of your own reasons, the things you love are leaving you." ”

Lou Bai was silent and did not respond, he understood that Lao Tie didn't need an answer, he just wanted someone to talk to.

Looking at Lao Tie, he was still babbling about his past: "I remember that day, the weather was about the same as now, I went home as usual after work, ate as usual, taught Haoshu to duel, and slept, but I didn't notice that my wife kept hinting at me that day, and today was her birthday." She's right, I'm a fool, I'm a wood, I'm a fool......"

Lao Tie choked up as he spoke, and he said with tears in his eyes: "The next morning my wife went out with Haoshu, and she told me that she would never come back until she was angry, and told me not to go to her, otherwise she would never forgive me." I was also stunned at the time, I didn't understand the meaning of her words, so I was really stupid and waited at home...... I thought she would come back after a few weeks at her mother's house, yes, just a few weeks, and that's how it used to be......"

Speaking of this, Lao Tie couldn't help but hide his face and cry bitterly, in his crying, Lou Bai vaguely heard a few words hidden under Lao Tie's crying: "When will you forgive me, I can't last many years, I just want to see you again before leaving......"

Hearing this, Lou Bai couldn't help but ask: "Old man, when did Haoshu leave?" ”

"Just eighteen years ago...... Today. When Lao Tie said this, he couldn't cry a little. He raised his head, a pair of cloudy eyes passed over Lou Bai and the others, and looked towards the door, his gaze seemed to travel through time, and once again saw the scene of his wife and son leaving him.

"Larry, how old is Youxing now?" As if thinking of something, Lou Bai pulled Larry aside and asked in a low voice.

When Larry heard this question, he hadn't come out of Lao Tie's story for a while, he thought for a while, and said with certainty: "Eighteen years old, I remember we mentioned before that if You Xing can leave a few days later, we will be able to celebrate You Xing's birthday." Eh, wait, the old man's family also happened to leave eighteen years ago, is there anything to do with that? ”

Does it matter...... Lou Bai vaguely remembers that in the plot of 5DS, on the day of the reversal of the perpetual motion machine, You Xing's father, Dr. Fudo, in order to protect the newborn You Xing, put him in an escape device and launched it, and then the new Tong Shiye and the satellite area split, and the place where You Xing's escape device landed happened to be the satellite area, which is also the reason why You Xing was obviously born in the city center, but became a person from the satellite area.

According to the words of Larry and the old man, eighteen years ago today, Haoshu and they left home, and a few days later it was Youxing's birthday, and it was also the day of the disaster of the perpetual motion reversal...... An unfortunate possibility popped up in Lou Bai's heart.

Looking at the sad old man on the side, Lou Bai gave up his intention to talk about this possibility after thinking for a while. In fact, even if he didn't say it, Lao Tie, who had personally experienced the disaster, should have thought of this situation, but he still didn't want to believe it, he stubbornly believed that his wife and Haoshu had been angry with him and had been unwilling to forgive himself, so he had been waiting here silently, waiting for his wife to dissipate his anger, waiting for his wife to come home with his son.

On the side, Larry, who didn't think of this, crossed his fingers and calculated: "Hmm...... Brother Haoshu in the photo looks to be in his teens, and he is almost in his thirties after eighteen years, which is about the same age as the master, plus we are here on such a special day today, no wonder the old man will recognize the master as his son. ”

Without paying attention to Larry's self-talk, Lou Bai once again carefully observed the house that had been inhabited by the old man for decades after the disaster, and he found that many of the walls of the house were cracked, and the ceiling was a little sloping. Even though the exterior walls are reinforced with iron sheets, this is a real dilapidated house.

Thinking of this, he finally couldn't help but speak: "Old man, if you can, let's move out early." What he didn't expect was that when he heard this, Lao Tie was furious, and he said angrily: "This is my home, I won't go anywhere, even if I die, I will die here!" ”

Hearing this, Lou Bai let out a long sigh and gave up his original idea. At that time, I still thought that it might not be a bad thing to let the old man maintain a hope and continue to live without suffering from others, and not to persuade others to be kind. But now, hey! This stubborn old man has successfully raised his stubborn temper! Even if he hates it, he has to let him get out of the past and try a new future.

"Old man." Lou Bai stood up, took out his deck, and said, "Duel with me!" If you lose, promise me not to dwell on the past again! ”

And in Lao Tie's eyes, the appearance of Lou Bai holding the deck gradually coincided with the appearance of his son Haoshu duel against him when he was a child, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face full of sadness. Lao Tie put the photo in his hand into his arms, then took out his card deck and said, "Okay, Haoshu, but say it in advance, I'm very strong!" ”

After agreeing to Lou Bai, Lao Tie did not directly take out a dueling plate to duel with him, but took Larry and Lou Bai out of the house and came to a dueling arena hidden in a pile of scrap iron.

"It's, it's!" Seeing this scene in front of him, Larry was so shocked that he was almost speechless: "Is this the dueling arena used by the people of the era of the legendary first dueling king?!" ”

"Yes, at that time, you said that you wanted to duel in the dueling arena, and I thought that if the dueling arena was built, you would definitely come back, and now Haoshu you are really back." Lao Tie said to Lou Bai with a smile.

Looking at Lao Tie, who had fallen into the memories of the past, Lou Bai couldn't bear to burst his illusions, so he simply hummed and stepped onto the dueling platform. As the machines on both sides start, the dueling table slowly rises, and the duel in this retro dueling arena officially begins.

“duel！” ×2

"It's me who strikes first!" Lao Tie first copied five cards from the deck and grabbed the first attack. It was only at this time that Lou Bai slowly pulled out five cards from the deck.

"Guard the scrap iron mother as a summons!" Lao Tie excitedly took out a card and slapped it on the dueling table, and with his action, a female robot wearing a red iron apron and holding a spatula appeared in the fourth position of the dueling platform and guarded Lao Tie.

【Scrap Iron Mom (Animation Card) 3-Star def:1500】

"Activate the Scrap Iron Mom effect and add the Scrap Kids to your hand from the deck!" Seeing the scrap iron mother appear in front of him, Lao Tie happily shouted its effect, and then picked up the card deck on the side and began to rummage through the scrap iron children in the card deck one by one.

However, as the cards in the deck were turned over one by one, Lao Tie's movements became slower and slower. When it came to the last card, Lao Tie slowly used his fingers to remove a card blocking it, and the card revealed its true face, and the green border showed that it was a magic card. Old Iron didn't find the Scrap Iron Kids in his deck.

As if he had just woken up from a big dream, the illusory happy expression on Lao Tie's face disappeared, leaving a deep loneliness. His eyes darkened, his body shook, and he propped his hands on the dueling platform.

"Boy!" After being silent for a while, Lao Tie was like a wounded lone wolf, and shouted viciously to Lou Bai who was standing opposite: "I want to protect my family, so I must not lose!" Overwrite a card and the round ends. ”
