People in Yu-Gi-Oh! The hyper-converged audience is also integrated

Chapter 329 This is where I went to school

In a parallel universe, 0748 lay on a cold operating table, the entire space was shaking violently, and the heat was overwhelming. Of the nine ghostly blue flames that initially surrounded his body, eight had been extinguished one after another.

The last flower, too, flickered intermittently, then slowly faded away.

On the soul waveform diagram, nine of the eleven points of light representing consciousness have been extinguished as the will-o'-the-wisp has been depleted, leaving only the two brightest souls, one red and one blue, entangled with each other on the screen.

Suddenly, the red dot burst into a blinding light and then vanished into thin air.

"Aaaaaah—!" the white paper screamed, "He got away!"

They, brother and sister, have always been the only ones living in other people's bodies, and they would withdraw when things went wrong. Now, someone is actually rebelling against the Heavenly Gang on their own turf!

Bai Zhi couldn't believe that the techniques she and her brother relied on for survival had been learned by an unknown soul. This bastard not only possessed them but also used their ultimate move to escape!

"You bastard! Don't let me catch you!"

……

"Ugh—!"

A wave of excruciating pain washed over Li Guanqi's brain, and he let out a muffled groan of agony.

Countless fragmented images flashed through my mind: the cold stares of the crowd, the duel, the scientific research, the roar of the divine weapon, the girl's cries, the falling of stars, and the coldness of the deep sea.

He clutched his head and struggled to open his heavy eyes.

In the blurry vision, there was a deep darkness, with only a few sparse white lights barely illuminating the scene before me.

A snake head with a slightly goofy look.

A magic card floats behind the snake's head, surrounded by an ominous black halo. The card's name is: [Transaction Rollback].

Li Guanqi's breath hitched, his eyes widened instantly, his muscles tensed, and he jerked backward, his head slamming heavily against something with a dull thud.

"I--"

He then realized that he was sitting in a cold metal seat, seat number 13, outside of the clock.

“It seems someone has interfered with our great fusion.” A familiar, gentle voice sounded from the left.

Li Guanqi covered his head, stiffly turned his neck, and looked at the source of the sound.

It wasn't the profile you'd imagine; it was just a complete person.

A blind girl wearing a blue school uniform and holding a black guide cane was sitting at the 11 o'clock position, "watching" him.

“Blank paper…” Li Guanqi squeezed out two hoarse words, his chest heaving violently as he gasped for breath.

He was still reeling from that grand war that spanned time and space.

Everything felt so real, so real that he could no longer distinguish between reality and illusion.

"Judging from your tone, my brother still hasn't come back to life." Bai Zhi's voice was cold and emotionless.

In her original "script," there was no scene where Bai Jian'an called out "Eighth Brother," nor was there any Nine Fires time travel event triggered by it. In order to forcibly bring the chaotic plot back on track, she could only insert the original memories into the time and space of each Ghost Fire time travel to brainwash the audience.

Nine time travels, nine mental strangulations, all in an attempt to kill the consciousness of 'Li Guanqi'.

Unfortunately, his consciousness held on, and at the last moment of the ninth time he transmigrated, he forcibly broke free and returned to the first dream.

“Brother, Dr. Li…” Li Guanqi murmured to himself, panting heavily.

He looked up at his surroundings, then looked up at the moon high in the sky, and suddenly smiled.

"I'm back, I'm back."

Li Guanqi remembered everything, and a tired yet mocking smile appeared on his lips.

“It’s a pity you couldn’t kill me.” He turned to look at the white paper.

"Your brother is a remarkable person, but unfortunately, my name is Li Guanqi!"

"It's neither 0748 nor Dr. Li."

Upon hearing these resolute words, a hint of melancholy flashed across Bai Zhi's face. Then, she raised the corners of her mouth and said, "You're lucky that the people outside woke you up."

"But what will you do next time?"

“Or rather—” she tilted her head slightly and smiled confidently, “you think you can leave this first dream.”

Deep dreams can be awakened by external invocation, allowing the dreamer to escape, but first-degree dreams are based on things in the realm of fantasy.

To leave the domain, one must either wait until the domain's energy is depleted, or—

Defeat the domain holder through a duel.

Those outside can only try their best to pull him back from the deep dream to the first dream, but leaving the first dream is still up to him.

"Heh, why not?" Li Guanqi raised a weak but unyielding smile. "You're not invincible. If you were really that powerful, you could just start by imagining a set of [Exodia]."

"Oh my, that's a good suggestion." Bai Zhi covered her mouth and chuckled. "I can't do it now, but maybe I really can in the future."

"Really?!"

"If I can collect all the fragments of the Creation Authority, I can certainly break through the divine barrier of Jueyi Card."

Li Guanqi felt a chill run down his spine. This wasn't just being shameless; it was practically flipping the table and trying to eat it.

If what she said is true, and she has the power of creation to fantasize about Old Ai, then how the hell is she supposed to play this game?
“I am indeed incomplete now, I have weaknesses, and I have lost before.” The white paper’s tone was slightly mocking. “I have a one in ten million chance of losing.”

"Only those destined for greatness can achieve this."

“Obviously—” she raised an eyebrow and spread her hands, “you are not.”

"You cheat! You have one more skill than me!" Li Guanqi raised his hand, expressing his strong condemnation of the white paper.

"Oh dear~ what are you talking about, brother?" Bai Zhi feigned innocence. "You can daydream too."

"Shameless! You're printing right in front of me!"

"What are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense without evidence. Even the AI ​​referee has no objections." "I..." Li Guanqi felt a lump in his throat. He had never seen such a shameless person.

“Brother, oh, no.” Bai Zhi suddenly dropped all his joking demeanor, his voice becoming calm, “Li Guanqi, how many years have you been dueling?”

Li Guanqi was taken aback and did not answer immediately.

"At most ten years or so, right?" Bai Zhi turned to Li Guanqi and asked the probing question, "Then guess how many years I've been dueling?"

Li Guanqi's heart sank suddenly. An absurd and terrifying number surfaced in his mind, making his lips dry: "...Four hundred years?"

"If someone who has been dueling for over a decade can easily defeat someone who has been dueling for four hundred years," Bai Zhi stared straight at him with his tightly closed eyes, as if piercing his soul. "Then tell me, what is the point of my four hundred years of dueling?"

"Is map dueling fun?"

Li Guanqi, recalling everything he had experienced with the blank paper over the past four hundred years, fell silent.

The words I wanted to say to someone were all stuck in my throat.

But how exactly can he defeat her? He doesn't want to be trapped here forever, and he certainly doesn't want to be captured and brainwashed by her.

The only way to win right now is to abandon wishful thinking, build a normal deck, and then start with a random hand. If this random hand can beat her five-hand hand of wishful thinking and successfully create a few counters, there is still a chance to win.

Even if you play five cards and then make a three-color combo, you still can't win because she can use cards like "Light's Reinforcements" to stack graveyard cards with high cost.

Not only do you have to get past her four or five hand traps, but you also have to create a large enough board. You definitely need to have Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and a bunch of Called Ones in your starting hand. The probability of getting past her with just one card in the last turn is extremely low.

Just imagining a deck with massive traps?
No way, this person can read minds. He's fantasizing about a heavy deck, and she'll definitely be fantasizing about a bunch of winds in her starting hand.

Li Guanqi fell into deep thought, his brows furrowing slightly.

Ever since he woke up, he has had one question—

What exactly is the connection between 0748, or Dr. Li, and me, Li Guanqi?
There should be a relationship, and many of the doubts match up, but the most crucial 'encounter' is missing from the memory, namely, the memory of Dr. Li after his death, in the underworld, or after 'reincarnation'.

That's why she said she wanted to reclaim the memories stored in the Mo Wang Mansion.

This means—

She had no idea what Dr. Li had experienced in the underworld, and she didn't even know him, Li Guanqi.

"Hahaha—" Li Guanqi suddenly chuckled.

Bai Zhi frowned slightly: "What are you laughing at? You're just daydreaming about a deck that can beat mine?"

Li Guanqi stopped laughing and didn't answer directly. Instead, he asked, "In the realm of fantasy, is it possible to imagine anything that has actually been seen? And is it absolutely true?"

“Yes, whether it’s a card, a person, or even an academy.” Bai Zhi gently tapped the water at his feet with his guide cane.

The surrounding scenery then shifted, the clock face and the darkness dissipated, and the bustling square of the Divine Arts Academy was transformed.

She knew this place inside and out, her face displaying a calm that suggested she had everything under control.

"That's an amazing skill," Li Guanqi exclaimed sincerely, but a broad smile spread across his face. "Then, let's go show you around—"

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi smiled faintly, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Go shopping? Shopping for what?"

"New—world!" Li Guanqi snapped his fingers.

Snapped.

After the crisp sound, the world instantly shifted.

The smile on Bai Zhi's face suddenly froze, and a strong sense of unease welled up from the bottom of her heart, causing her to grip her guide cane tightly.

"here it is"

The new scene feels so unfamiliar.

This sense of unfamiliarity did not stem from sight, but from the four hundred years of perception she relied on for survival.

In the world she knew, whether it was a bustling metropolis or a desolate ruin, the air was filled with the scent of yin. But here, the yin had completely disappeared, and she couldn't sense it at all.

It's like a fish that lives in water being suddenly thrown onto dry land.

"Where, where is this—" Bai Zhi gripped his guide cane tightly, his tone revealing a hint of panic that he was trying hard to suppress.

She had traveled through Biantana for four hundred years and had never been to such a strange place.

She listened intently, trying to decipher the world through sound and smell.

A low, continuous rumbling sound followed by countless chaotic footsteps on the hard, flat ground, mixed with lively voices.

The air was filled with cheap perfume and a pungent, spicy smell, mixed with the greasiness of food.

"The civic district of a level three fortress?" Bai Zhi frowned.

She usually judges the level of civilization of her environment by simply hearing and smelling.

But what kind of level three fortress wouldn't have a level B?

The most terrifying thing is that her imagination has been suppressed! She can't use it.

The power of the laws in this place is so strong?
"Can you see this?" Li Guanqi whispered beside her, "This is where I go to school."

He pointed in a direction.

"It's not the Academy of Arts."

"Yes—Xunyang University."

Bai Zhi's brain went blank for a moment. No matter how hard he tried to recall, he couldn't find any information related to 'Xunyang University'.

"Come on, let's duel," Li Guanqi said in a deep voice.
