Is this the poker world?Ada thief!

After a huge satellite appeared in the sky, not only Kaiba and Jonouchi's side, but the entire area of ​​the Duel Academy Island where the sunlight was blocked, everyone's Duel Disk experienced poor signal.

Although Kaiba's own Duel Disk was a specially modified version that automatically turned on anti-interference after a brief flash at the beginning, Jonouchi's Duel Disk suddenly stopped working. All the cards on the Duel Disk became unreadable, and it could not stay connected to Kaiba's Duel Disk, causing the duel to be interrupted by default.

"Move, Duel Disk, why don't you move?"

Jonouchi tapped on the Duel Disk, trying to use this universal mechanical repair method to restore it to normal, but it didn't work. He tried to restart it, but after turning it off and then on again, the Duel Disk still couldn't read the card normally, just like before.

But it doesn’t matter, because the publisher of the duel disk is right in front of you.

"Hey, Kaiba, your Duel Disk is no good. I've only used it for less than half a year, right?" Shaking the Duel Disk, Jonouchi didn't care about the satellite in the sky at all. He said to Kaiba with a dissatisfied look on his face, "Could it be that Kaiba Group has also started to implement 'planned obsolescence' in order to increase sales of Duel Disks and increase profits? What a profiteer!"

"Hmph, idiot." Kaiba glanced at Jonouchi and used his normally functioning duel disk to open an interactive projection interface and began to operate. "The Kaiba Group doesn't lack the little money that can be made from the duel disk."

"Why did the duel disk in Jonouchi suddenly have problems?" Seeing the duel suddenly interrupted, Peacock Dance and Kitamori Reiko were also puzzled. Although it was hard to ignore a satellite that suddenly appeared in the sky so close to the earth, it should have nothing to do with the duel going on on the ground. The only possible factor that could cause the duel to be interrupted was that there was something wrong with the duel disk of the Kaiba Group, right?

"No, it seems that it's not just Jonouchi." Tachibana Ikkaku tried to put the card on the duel disk, but found that it was the same as Jonouchi's, and the card could not be read. He even tried to connect to Kaiba's duel disk, which was not in a duel state with Jonouchi at the moment, but failed. The interconnection with Jonouchi's duel disk also ended in failure. "There is a problem with our duel disk too?"

If one person had a problem it was an accident, and if two people's duel disks had a problem it could be considered a coincidence, but when Kong Quewu and Kitamori Reiko tried to use their duel disks they found that their duel disks were in the same condition - they could be turned on and used normally, but could not read the cards, and could not even wirelessly connect to other people's duel disks to enter the duel state?

"Kyuhei?"

Kaiba called Keipi, who was staying in the Duel Hall and not too far from the Duel Academy, with his headset. Although he only called Keipi's name, the tacit understanding between the two brothers made Keipi understand what Kaiba meant, and he immediately responded to the situation he knew: "Brother, is the same situation happening over there? It seems that the entire Duel Academy Island is covered."

"Yes, all duel equipment has failed, not just the duel disks, but even the duel tables used indoors have entered a state where they cannot read cards normally. Only a few duel disks can still send and receive data normally. As for the cause of all this, although no special interference bands have been detected, the most likely suspect is the satellite above us."

"Can you find out where that satellite above you came from? It's so close to the earth, it's almost entering the atmosphere." Hayato also accessed the communication band of the two brothers. This is a function installed by Keipi on his duel disk, which allows him to go out without even carrying a mobile phone. After checking, he found that, like Kaiba's, his duel disk was also rarely able to be used normally and read cards. "Also, which duel disks can be used normally?"

"In the originally expected global satellite orbital distribution, the only satellite that would pass over the Duel Academy today should be the signal satellite of the Kaiba Group. It seems that someone remotely changed the movement trajectory of a satellite." Keipi's keyboard tapping sounded continuously, "I have sent the data of the Duel Disks that can be used normally to you, Brother Hayato. There are not many. It seems that there are only ten Duel Disks on the entire island."

"Tsk, what a public relations crisis."

Although the cause is currently unknown, Keiping believes that the adverse impact caused by this large-scale duel disk failure is no less than the KC Cup incident a few years ago. At least the KC Cup incident did not cause any casualties, so there is a reasonable explanation for someone to take the blame, and the blame is not on the Kaiba Group. However, this duel disk failure represents a quality control crisis for the Kaiba Group.

Although the communication has not been interrupted, Keipi can still confirm in real time from Kaiba Group branches around the world that the same special incidents have not occurred in other places. There is only a problem on the Duel Academy Island, but the problem here alone is serious enough.

Not to mention that because of the holding of the "Second World Martial Arts Tournament", the Duel Academy Island is now crowded with a large number of duelists from all over the world. The Duel Academy itself has a large number of students who will work in the field of Duel Monsters in the future. The impact of such a large-scale failure of Duel Disks without any warning is too bad. What's more, there is another thing - they don't even know what is going on?

Is it caused by the satellite in the sky? What is the principle? Can it be prevented? And as the satellite moves, will the scope of the failure also move? Or will the scope of the failure not move but expand?

"I know you're anxious, but don't worry. If being anxious was useful, Set would have been anxious a long time ago." Hayato heard the impatience in Keipi's voice. He was obviously beginning to worry again. If this continued, the Kaiba Group would go bankrupt in another thousand years. "Do what you can, and leave the rest to me. I will handle everything."

"That was my line." Kaiba said with a gloomy face. After all, he was just threatening Jonouchi when the power was suddenly cut off and the duel ended. His [Instant Fusion] could immediately take down the [Ultimate Dragon Mage]. His victory was only a little away. "No matter which bastard did this, he will surely bring down the thunderous wrath of me and [Blue-Eyes]!"

"Ha, that's the feeling. Six years ago, when I got off to a great start but was interrupted by Kaimanoya, that's the feeling." Hayato showed an empathetic expression. "Now you know how angry I was at the time, right? Even someone like me who doesn't hold grudges can hardly forget that kind of anger."

"You still remember what happened six years ago? Humph." Kaiba just snorted coldly and did not express his opinion when Hayato said "don't hold grudges".

However, before the two of them started to act, Keipi suddenly said, "Okay, now I know who the satellite belongs to. Calculating the location, it seems to have landed on the island from you guys."

"Hmm?" As Keipi's words fell, everyone present clearly heard the sound of helicopter blades turning at high speed. An aircraft with blue-purple, gray and green paint, a pair of powerful twin rotors and the slender shape of a passenger plane flew from a distance. After discovering the clearing in the forest where Hayato and the others were, the passenger plane adjusted its flight trajectory and began to circle around the clearing.

At the same time, the door on the side of the plane opened, and a man in a white suit with a gemstone necklace on his forehead appeared at the door, overlooking the people in the forest, and shouted: "It's really a wheel of fortune, Kaiba Seto, Kobayashi Hayato, can you still act so high and mighty in front of me now?"

"Could this voice be--" Hayato looked at the sky with a serious face, "Mago Juman from 'Dynasty Warriors'?!" "Huh? Isn't that the Fire Extinguishing Prince from 'Bleach'?" Jonouchi had a shocked expression on his face.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Kaiba frowned, "That person is not a duelist, so I don't have much impression of him."

"There has to be a limit to ignoring others!" The dark purple-haired man, who had been looking superior, said angrily when he saw that none of Hayato and the others below recognized him. He jumped down from the cabin door and opened the parachute bag in mid-air.

Although it is also very dangerous to use a parachute pack when the flight altitude is less than 200 meters, seeing that the other party did not jump out of the plane physically, Hayato said with disdain: "He actually needs the assistance of a parachute pack. The purity is too low. I feel. Not as good as Sett."

"Hmph, do you need to say that?" Kaiba snorted, and his voice sounded inexplicably arrogant.

"Remember the name of the man who is about to defeat you: Okin Mizgaruzen!"

"Okin. Pfft!" Jonouchi read the other person's name and couldn't help laughing, "Who would have such a name? It's just like I changed my name to Jonouchi Danna."

Ojin's name is written as "オージーン". If you remove the two "ー" in the middle and it becomes "オジン", it means "Odin", which sounds quite majestic and can also represent that his father is a fan of Norse mythology? But the problem is that "オージーン" becomes "Oujin" when it is really pronounced, which cannot be said to be exactly the same as the pronunciation of "おうじ" for prince "Ouji", but it can only be said that it is difficult to distinguish.

The word "Danna" used by Jonouchi for fun means "master". The degree of taking advantage of someone by such a name is almost equivalent to a person with the surname "Tomoe" also being named "Ba".

"Ah, I remember who he is!" Kitamori Reiko looked at Okin Mizgaruzen and suddenly remembered where she had seen him before. "It's the recently famous Mizgaruzen Kingdom!"

"The Kingdom of Mizgaruzen that claims to have launched an attack satellite equipped with laser weapons into the sky and fly it around the earth, using it to threaten other countries with force?" Peacock Dance had also seen the news, and after Kitamori Reiko reminded her, she also recalled the relevant memories. "Yes, even the last name is Mizgaruzen. Although it is a bit difficult to put together, this guy called 'Prince Mizgaruzen' is really the prince of the Kingdom of Mizgaruzen!"

"Hehe, that's it!" After hearing Kitamori Reiko and Peacock Dance introduce themselves to him, Prince Okin raised his chin proudly.

"However, intelligence indicates that the Kingdom of Mizgaruzen relied on a cult organization called 'Doma' that has been eradicated. The country's technology is completely dependent on the collapsed Paradis Corporation. It does not have the ability to independently develop and launch laser satellites. Even the satellite that has been launched was launched with the help of the Seahorse Group's carrier rocket."

But just as Prince Okin was waiting for more praise, Tachibana dampened his enthusiasm by revealing the part he didn't want to mention, "Because of using laser satellites to threaten other countries, the Kingdom of Mizgaruzen certainly gained a lot of benefits in the international arena at the beginning, and coerced other countries to lower tariffs and open borders. But over time, no one was willing to endure endless threats and blackmail, and the Kingdom of Mizgaruzen has now become the target of public criticism in the international arena."

"Although the Kingdom of Mizgaruzen initially announced that they had completed a test launch of a laser satellite weapon before launching it into space as a threat, and that the satellite was indeed observed to be in orbit around the Earth, after the launch, even when some people began to refuse the Kingdom of Mizgaruzen's blackmail, they still did not use the laser satellite to attack. This made many countries begin to doubt whether their satellite was carrying the laser weapon they claimed to have."

"More importantly, a while ago, a famous reporter accidentally entered the internal group chat of the Mizgaruzen Kingdom's top leaders. After learning about their blackmail plans in neighboring countries in advance, he also accidentally learned that there seemed to be some problems with the laser satellite in space. It's not that the Mizgaruzen Kingdom doesn't want to use force to deter neighboring countries, but that it can't-"

"Fake-News!" Okin Mizgaru directly denied what Ju Yijiao said, and said excitedly, "That's just a sensationalist and unscrupulous media trying to hype up the news and gain traffic. How could our kingdom use group chat as a channel to transmit confidential materials?"

"Yes, yes, yes, so don't be so anxious, your face is getting red." Hayato said with a smile, "Besides, it's normal that the laser satellite can't be launched. The laser components have been dismantled into an empty shell. What can it launch?"

"Then it really can't be launched." A beat later, Okin realized what Hayato said and widened his eyes, "——What did you say?"

"Idiot, you need to be told twice before you can understand me?" Kaiba looked at Prince Okin with disdain. "Do you think Kaiba Group will just launch things from other places into space as you wish? After I found the laser weapons, I dismantled them a long time ago."

"Impossible! That technology is at least twenty years ahead of our time!"

"So the man standing in front of you is a man who has mastered technology that is at least 200 years ahead of this era." Hayato patted Kaiba's shoulder and asked, "Isn't it a bit too hurtful to say this?"

Kaiba, who is a very polite person and never swears, glared at Hayato and responded silently with his lips.

"So, Okin Mizgaruzen, what do you know about the massive failure of the Duel Disks produced by Kaiba Group?" Looking at Prince Okin who looked incredulous, Kaiba asked the question he was most concerned about. (End of this chapter)
