Chapter 1621 Electronic Life
"Hmm?" Hayato turned around and looked back the way he came.

Kaiba, who was walking beside him, took two steps forward, and when he saw Hayato stop, he turned back in confusion: "What are you looking at? Why did you stop suddenly?"

"Hmm, this feeling, is it Ed?" Although he was not there, Hayato recounted to Kaiba as if he had witnessed the duel between Ed and Saiou with his own eyes, "But, it seems to be entangled with another aura. Oh, right, is it another Saiou?"

"Another one?" Kaiba raised an eyebrow, somewhat unable to understand.

"Hehehe, dual personality, backstabbing, but this is the classic combination of our Duel Monsters. This is ranked first on the Duel Monsters must-eat list, you can't miss it. Just like Yugi and Atemu, Malik, Tapir and Zork, Good and Evil Tatsu, etc., I have a split personality and so on, Kaiba, you should be used to it, right?"

Spreading his hands helplessly, Hayato explained, "That Saiou is similar. Didn't he say before that he also has a dual personality? Now the relatively kind one seems to be possessed by Ed's body and fighting together."

"Hmph, possession and the like, read less boring fantasy novels, your brain has been poisoned by those unscientific things." Kaiba said with some disdain, "No, even a third-rate novelist would not use such an outrageous setting. Possession? What is the medium for transmitting information and energy? How to specify the receiving carrier and maintain the stability of communication?"

"I don't know. I've never imagined such a question." Hayato said confidently that as long as he knew that there was such a thing, that was it. He was not Kaiba, and he did not have the obsession to get to the bottom of everything and seek answers.

"Humph, of course you haven't thought about such a question, but you can come up with a bunch of weird theories." With a cold snort, Kaiba looked at Hayato and said unhappily, "For example, 'Seahorse Particles', 'Prana' and the like."

"I prefer the name 'New-Type' to 'Prana'. Also, don't give your name to something discovered by others without permission."

"Humph, you said that this is something that will only be discovered in the future more than ten years from now, so why don't you try to let that person stop me before I discover it?" Hayato's words also made Kaiba sneer, and he crossed his arms in front of his chest and said arrogantly, "The rules of this world have always been so cruel. Those who can't complete the so-called "synchronization" before me are not qualified to claim my achievements!"

"You make it sound like you've already completed the Wandering Planet Particles, the Perpetual Motion Machine, and the Synchro Summoning." Hayato complained, and he and Kaiba continued to move forward. "But speaking of it, the reaction from Ed's side is indeed a bit like a 'New-Type', especially Saiou, who is like a space ghost girl."

"A space female ghost that is neither in the universe nor a female? I think it would be more appropriate to call her an Earth male ghost."

"Seth, you with thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually know how to complain?"

"Hmph, am I some kind of robot? I can't even complain when I run into a troublesome guy like you?"

"Even though you say I'm troublesome, as a 'New-Type' I can feel it, Set, you are enjoying our friendship, hehe, you are really a tsundere."

"Stop disgusting me, you bastard! The reason I tolerate you doing whatever you want in front of me is only because you are stronger than me for the time being. Whatever a strong person says is right."

Naturally, Kaiba refused to admit that the relationship between him and Hayato could be called "friendship". "But, if one day I defeat you, I will definitely hold you accountable for the fact that you took Keipi to eat chocolate crepes yesterday without me, freed my [Blue Eyes] in the duel the day before yesterday, and spread the rumor to Isono that I like to hug the [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] pillow when I sleep.

"Okay, okay, I'll wait for you to settle the score." Hayato said with a smile, completely ignoring Kaiba's threat.

With a cold snort, Kaiba did not reveal more of his "dark history" but changed the subject by asking, "How far is this place from your students? How can you sense the situation over there from such a distance?"

"It was probably after I took your orbital elevator to the space station last time. Because my soul was freed from the constraints of gravity and deeply felt the vastness of the universe, I felt that my 'prana' ability had evolved to a deeper level. My ability to adapt to space has reached the point where I can use a rifle to detonate a floating gun, and the same is true for my perception ability."

Hayato rubbed his chin, "From where that guy Okin was causing trouble before to here, it's only a few kilometers. After all, this island is so small, and we're not in some uninhabited place."

".Tsk." After looking at Hayato for a long time, Kaiba smacked his lips and made an unhappy sound, "Not only the ability of the Duel Monsters, but also the ability of this 'New-Type' is a monster? The perception range of other 'Prana' collected by Kaiba Group before was only a dozen meters without external assistance. With the help of Keipi's brain quantum wave amplifier device that imitated the wave of the [Quantum Cube], the range was only expanded to a few hundred meters."

"If I were to use the brain quantum wave amplifier, I might be able to sense all the humans on Earth like the bald professor in the wheelchair in the movie." Hayato said with a smile, "But I feel okay. You know, some New-Types can keenly realize the existence of a specific target they care about when it approaches their space area."

——Although there is also the case of a certain blond man in sunglasses who always senses the wrong person, and he is no different from a certain mule who thinks everyone is Haman.

"I really don't know what kind of strange self-awareness you have. You are clearly the strongest 'New-Type' in the record."

"If it was in 0079, maybe I would have a chance to board the white wooden horse." Kaiba stopped talking about the Gundam joke that he didn't quite understand. Hayato stopped again, but he was a little confused. "Strange, didn't we pass this place once just now?"

"Are you going to insult my intelligence with some stupid talk like 'going through a maze'? I can be sure that we are walking in a straight line. This is my sense of direction-"

Before the word "confidence" was uttered, Kaiba, who was standing next to Hayato, frowned in confusion, because he also felt that they had just passed by here.

"Are you confident in your sense of direction? That's good." Hayato teased Kaiba, but before he got angry, he asked something else to distract Kaiba, "So how far are the coordinates Keipi sent us from here? Based on the coordinates, we can also tell whether we have gone back the way we came."

"Hmph, I don't think I'll get lost in this forest, and the possibility of both you and I getting lost is even slimmer." Kaiba said, opening the map navigation with the AR glasses he was wearing, and considerately projected an image in front of him so that Hayato could also see it, "This is a real-time record of our route during this period, the trajectory is... Hmm?" In front of Hayato and Kaiba, it actually showed that the point where the two of them were had stayed there for a while, even earlier than the time when Hayato sensed the changes in Saiou and Ed's auras?
"What's going on? This doesn't even look like a 'ghost wall'." Hayato said, and took a few steps forward. The position of him and Kaiba in the real-time image did not change. "Is your positioning broken?"

"Until that mediocre person defeats me, the technology of Kaiba Group will not be broken!" Kaiba said unhappily, even saying "Jounouchi will defeat him". He looked around, suddenly thought of something, turned back and looked at Hayato, "Hey, wait a minute, I suddenly feel something is wrong!"

"After I noticed that the position had not changed, I also felt it." After shaking hands, Hayato frowned and looked around, "It seems that we have encountered this kind of situation where the surrounding environment has changed imperceptibly before. It was the same at that time. We took the initiative to fall into the trap without knowing it, right?"

"Haima Noa, huh? Humph, that guy's fully immersive virtual reality simulation system is already decades behind the times!" Although Noa's incident happened six years ago, given that Kaiba's technology is advancing at a rate that is equivalent to ten or even dozens of years for others in one year, what he said is quite convincing. "However, since it is a new form of Duel Monsters, Kaiba Group has retained it in its intellectual property reserves."

"At the headquarters of the Haima Group in Tongjinye City, there is a test machine that Keipi and I have jointly modified. Its performance is 1000% stronger than the prototype used by Haima Noa, which required an entire offshore base to provide energy and computing power!"

The more he introduced his proud works in the past, the gloomier Kaiba's face became. His face was almost as dark as a non-African. "And the test machine is much more portable. Not only can it be quickly and easily deployed somewhere, but the activation of the virtual reality scene can also be made so that people entering will not notice it."

“Like, here!”

As Kaiba finished speaking, the communication with Keihei, which had been disconnected a long time ago, was opened again in his AR glasses and Hayato's duel disk, but it was accompanied by the "sizzling" sound that had been heard repeatedly before.

"As expected of Seto Kaiba, you are the designer after all, so it is natural that you can recognize this place, right?" The voice that came from the communication was not Keipi's, but a strange female voice, "But, recognizing it doesn't mean you can crack this place."

"This voice." Haiba raised his eyebrows and opened the database without hesitation, "Identify the voiceprint!"

"Want to know my identity? It's not that troublesome. My name is Misui." The female voice introduced herself, and then even in the air in front of Hayato and Kaiba, the data stream converged into a human figure wearing a miko costume, "I am the head of the Saiou Fortune Telling House. Yes, my full name is Saiou Misui, Saiou Takuma's sister."

"I was wondering why the voice sounded so familiar." Hayato paused and pounded his palm, "Isn't this Bai Cai Jie? What, has Chi Long forgiven Mega?"

"Saiou? Humph, well, one more crime can be added to his list. He actually dared to steal my work from Kaiba Group!" Looking at Saiou Misatomo in front of him, Kaiba suppressed his anger, "He even dared to hack into my communications!"

"If you want to blame someone, just blame yourself and Kaiba Keihei for not being in your old nest, Tojino City. Although you must register as a duelist to enter this city due to regulations, it is not too difficult to enter the headquarters building of Kaiba Group after going through the process." Saiou Misushi said calmly, "Is it because there are too many strong people gathering in this city, so the external defense is complete but the internal security is very loose? I guess it's also because our president is too powerful and we can't be too careful."

"Although you can modify data within a certain range by controlling the programmers of the Haiba Group, you have carefully set the highest level of authority that cannot be changed. However, that is only the premise that your virtual reality simulation system is connected to the network. Although disconnecting the network will cause the simulation effect to shrink and you can only use the preset scenes and can no longer freely change the environment - but it is enough to trap you."

"Trapped, us? Hum, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh!" Kaiba laughed when he heard Saiou Misushi's words. "What a funny and stupid thing to say. You really match your charlatan brother. You have a very outstanding talent as a jester. If you sign a contract with Kaiba Group and make your debut, you can easily become a manzai star, right?"

"Don't make a mistake!" Pointing at Misui, the expression on Kaiba's face suddenly became extremely cold. "You foolishly appeared in front of me, did you think you could escape? I have been holding back my anger all the way - it's not you who locked me up here, but you were locked up with me!"

"Next-generation duel system, activated!"

"Hyper-realistic projection, full overwrite!"

"Duel Link ready, Data Storm loaded!"

He suddenly raised the Duel Disk, and the Duel Disk in Kaiba's hand shone brightly. Even though Saiou Misushi had turned off the network connection function of the virtual reality simulation system in advance, he actually changed the surrounding environment abruptly! ?

"Idiot, if everything depends on the Internet, won't electronic ghosts like Kaiba Noa be able to hold my things hostage again? As early as six years ago, I began to install backdoor functions in various technological products for use in cases of network disconnection!" Kaiba sneered, and the headphones on his ears fully unfolded, connecting to the duel disk to jointly control the virtual reality simulation system that he and Hayato were in at the moment.

"As long as you are not a completely digital electronic life like Seamanaia, you will never be able to stop me from taking back control!"

Kaiba said this confidently, but the next moment, Saiou Misaki's panicked expression returned to calmness: "Although it's a bit unexpected that you have such a backup plan, it's really a coincidence. No, should we say it's fate?"

A progress bar appeared in front of Kaiba's eyes, indicating the process of regaining control through a wireless connection. Originally, the progress bar was soaring, causing the environment around him and Hayato to fluctuate continuously. However, just when the progress bar was about to reach 100%, it stopped at 99%, constantly repeating the process of decreasing and then increasing again!

"In the storage area of ​​Kaiba Group, I found a mechanical life support capsule with the logo of Kaiba Group when it was still an arms group. It seems to be a device that can upload people's consciousness to the virtual world." Under Kaiba's surprised eyes and Hayato's eyes that seemed to have expected it, Saiou Misushi put his hand on his chest and explained, "I controlled those programmers to help me design a program that can digitize the soul. I uploaded my soul using that machine. Maybe I am the 'electronic life' that you Seto Kaiba mentioned."

For this wave of new cards from gx, the new name of the Thunder Giant seems to be the name of the attack move in the animation, Volt Thunder. Does it seem that they are going to do the same as Flame Wing Man's Flame Strike and remake the old elemental hero fusion monsters one by one?

I'm most looking forward to the episode of Sailor Man. I wonder if this card can be used to special summon Neos (laughs)
