Do you like Yu-Gi-Oh even if it's like this?

——He came back after a dozen seconds and nodded to me.

After leaving the original room, I walked towards the next room.

"Wow wow wow!!!"

After all, it's an elementary school, and the children there range from eleven or twelve years old to six or seven years old. I'm not sure if there is any.

The older children were comforting the younger ones, Lian and La were among them.

"Come here for a moment."

I waved to the two of them, but La was obviously hesitant - I signaled to her again, and she let go of the hand of the crying little girl beside her and walked towards me.

I looked over her thin shoulders and saw that behind her, the children were still crying.

——Or maybe, I only noticed it because of the crying.

..................................................................

“Robustness—have you ever heard of this term?”

It’s not very far, just a corner of the corridor that is not easy to notice.

The two little guys looked at each other, and Lian spoke:

"The property is not easily destroyed...?"

"Different."

In front of them, I crumpled a piece of paper into a ball and threw it into the trash can.

——Lian’s pupils shrank.

"..."

Then, I got the answer.

“Robustness means resistance to disturbances — or the ability of the system as a whole to function well even if parts of the system are damaged or disabled.”

——Should it be called modernity in the deck? But it would have been strange to say that seven years ago.

Seven years ago, the most advanced system, the Twelve Beasts, should be considered the pinnacle of Yu-Gi-Oh's "Simple Scheduling".

This is getting off topic.

“For society—for the sum of human relationships—the taking of life is robust.”

I spoke and placed my hands on their heads, rubbing their slightly sweaty hair, blocking their vision and obstructing the intersection of their gaze with mine.

"It means that society itself is difficult to defy, no matter how many people die."

Putting aside the fact that we are strong enough to perform rituals, neither I, Udumbara, nor any other person with special abilities should be able to change society on our own.

"..."

Lian twisted her head slightly in my palm, as if trying to struggle, but then became quiet again.

"People reflect people, so if you kill one person, or a group of people, the people around them - whether they are from the same era or before and after - can still take over that function."

Unlike in games where you can only put three of a card into a deck, in real life, people can have as many people as they want who can produce the same effect.

Society is constantly changing, but as a drop of water in such a turbid flow, a person cannot change society alone.

"So, killing is not a crime?" Lian murmured.

"Wrong" I denied her.

"It is precisely because most functions have not disappeared, only life has disappeared - killing is the only thing that has nothing left except sin."

"…Why are you telling me this?…I don't understand."

La murmured, and rubbed my palm as if she felt comfortable being touched on the head.

"Because I'm going to do something - something that will allow you to reflect each other."

"?"

"You must remember what I am going to say next - take your hands out."

I tapped out a short rhythm, made a hand gesture, and named a few common objects.

“…Did you remember?”

"Remember." "...No."

"Come on, let me do it again."

——I demonstrated it to La again.

This is a code commonly used by intelligence personnel.

“…I don’t remember.”

La was about to cry - and at the side, seeing that I did not stop the children from crying, the police officer who was originally acting as a gatekeeper also walked over here.

"…It doesn't matter if you don't remember it - you can go find the old man in the library later and he will help you."

I shook my head, ignoring La's hesitation, and asked quickly:

"La, do you want to leave here now?"

"Eh? Ah?"

"I'm asking, do you want to leave school, stop going to school, stop living a normal life, and come with me again?"

"Ah, this..."

"This teacher," the police officer waved at me.

“…You refused.”

——So, I made an ultimatum.

"……ah"

La seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and Lian's eyes were staring straight at me. When I started to ask La, her eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Then... let's go."

"boom!!"

The lightsaber burst out from my hand and cut through the wall.

——I'm always cutting through walls, this lightsaber is really useful.

"Come with me, my little murderer."

I reached out to Lian and left La, who was standing there in a daze, aside.

"I won't break my promise - I said you can come with me, and that's fine."

On such a starry night, a passionate teacher made a hypocritical and broad promise.

——【You can come with me】

Maybe it's just drunken talk - but I have to make it true now.

Otherwise, perhaps, Lian will never be changed by me.

I couldn't help but smile like Lian at the corner of my mouth.

Ahhh, I must be crazy.

——Compared to the lives of those strangers, I actually prioritize saving the heart of a bad guy.

"No, that's not right..."

——Those who died will be saved by the gods.

I...arrogant, foolish, and a teacher--I only need to save the only one in front of me, the student who cannot be saved by God.

Each deck can have up to three cards of the same name:

Chapter 285 21 There is no way out, so I need to be aware

The health points were depleted.

——Next, it’s time for the joyful execution.

The cavalrymen, holding the blood-stained halberd handles, slowly approached the defeated.

"What are you doing?! I came to... uh ...

La screamed, and when she dodged the weapon in front of her, half of her shoulder was cut off by the weapon behind her.

Blood, bones, and screams echoed across the land as winter faded away.

"Pfft!"

As if because of the severe pain, La slowly lowered her head to look at her abdomen - a horrible wound was torn open, and as her body trembled, she fell down, raising dust.

...no longer moving.

"La, why did you die again? How inhumane..."

Muttering as he staggered towards the corpse, Six-Line Score felt the Dark Game leaving time and space, and the android's body, which had already reached its limit, quickly weakened.

(Damn it... It was so sudden that my head felt dizzy... My steps felt heavy...)

Outside the room, Qian Yu's original voice was almost inaudible, replaced by the irregular sound of heartbeat coming from inside the body.

"But... no matter what... I must... revive you."

He walked to the side of the corpse and took out the resurrection device he was carrying.

"I'm sorry... but it's not you... it's the other you who only has one year of experience... I can't help it anyway..."

——The reason why La from the original time and space was killed in this time and space was to avoid the valley of eternal sleep set up for La by the Mudong people.

Originally, Mu Dongren killed La in this time and space, and the reason why she could not be resurrected was that there was already a La in that time and space, and the company's machinery for searching brain waves would not be effective due to the strong brain waves of living people.

On the other hand, from the perspective of mystical magic, two things with the same essence existing in the same time and space are much more difficult to retrieve.

In this case, as long as the original La in this time and space is killed, both Las will enter a state of death, and then they can be retrieved.

(Please, revive...)

"Zizi~"
