The card player needs to win easily

"Failed, wrong password, about to activate the automatic security system."

"Hehehehe..."

He raised the thousand-year-old tin staff in his hand and licked it.

"Since hard ones don't work... then——"

He turned and walked away, disappearing into the shadows.

Not a single robot or weapon appeared—only the crackling sound of electricity from the destroyed facilities.

--------------------------------

A cave that cannot be found by any program is where the few of them are now.

Noa was operating something on the computer deep inside.

"...To be honest, I'm more worried about that guy outside than Noa."

Feeling bored and having no sense of participation, Siren pointed to the sky above.

"I can't even imagine what An Malik will do."

"...It's over! I completely forgot about it!"

Liva shouted softly.

The duel in the virtual world made her almost forget about An Malik who was still outside.

Leaving a dangerous individual alone in this place that can almost be called an arsenal...

"Noa...is this the method you're talking about!?"

Seto Kaiba looked down at Noa, who had finally pressed the last key, with great displeasure.

"What else? Seto..."

The atmosphere became tense again.

“It’s the only way.”

Noa turned around and looked at the group that had gradually gathered because of Kaiba's questioning.

"what happened?"

Yugi asked confused.

"What this guy wants is to use any one of our bodies to get out of here!"

"So, do you have any better ideas? Seto... the backdoor's function can indeed return a person to their physical body."

Noah spread his hands.

"But... as long as Dad is still here, I'm sure he'll block it the moment he leaves with his immense computing power."

"So, only one person can leave this way... And Seto, and everyone here—is there anyone who can operate the control console?"

The answer is of course no.

However, everyone present was somewhat silent.

"Even so—you want me to give my body to another person and let us trust you completely?"

Kaiba asked back.

"It's not entirely up to me—as people from the outside world, your thoughts are the 'input' of this virtual world."

"When I control my body to leave the virtual stealth chamber, the person I control will naturally return to the body."

"It's like—I've become a second personality."

"This way, you can even monitor my actions—what's up, Seto? Any other opinions?"

"……snort!"

Kaiba Seto snorted in dissatisfaction.

However, Naia's suggestion may be the best option in this situation.

"Even so, who would be willing to let you enter his body? It's not me."

"...let me do it."

Mu Ma put his hand on Noa's shoulder.

"Trojan horse? You—"

"It's okay, brother."

He laughed.

"What's the matter? It's a good opportunity for Noa to leave this place with me."

"..."

Once again, Noa looked at Kaiba Mokuba with complicated eyes.

"I was stunned by Konoha's friendship."

Siren once again whispered to Liva in a very low voice.

Finally, Naia opened her mouth and uttered only one word.

"Row."

--------------------------------

With a slight click, the hatch opened.

open one's eyes.

As if suffocating, "Seahorse Trojan" took a few breaths of air intermittently.

“Cough…cough cough cough cough!”

Climb up with difficulty.

Because he hadn't used his real body for so long, Noa's movements seemed a little slow.

But soon, with the help of instinct and experience in operating his body in the virtual world, he was able to coordinate quickly.

"...This is, the real body?"

Noa suddenly felt her eyes sore.

The moment he had been dreaming of all along came true today.

Return to the body.

(“What a novel feeling.”)

The voice in my head sounded.

That is undoubtedly the real Seahorse Trojan.

(“This first-person perspective is like watching a movie.”)

"Seahorse Trojan"'s right hand suddenly raised up without Noa's control.

(“…Huh? I can move?”)

"That's natural—after all, your consciousness is perfectly clear right now, and it hasn't been altered by the virtual reality program."

The "Seahorse Trojan" looks like it is talking to itself.

(“I don’t really understand this… but, if we can recover by just exiting the hatch, why can’t we just open the hatches of other people now?”)

His right hand once again uncontrollably reached out to the handle of the capsule-shaped sleeping cabin next to him, trying to pull it open.

...Obviously, it failed.

“…Dad has realized it.”

Noah's expression darkened.

He turned to look at the camera in the room - the red light indicating that it was turned on came on.

It's time to act—

Without hesitation, Seahorse Trojan turned and ran towards the door.

The alarm behind him sounded almost the moment he raised his foot.

"Om-"

--------------------------------

"Kaiba Gozaburo——!"

The moment Noa and the Trojan Horse disappeared, the cave "collapsed".

Apart from the ground beneath his feet, the surrounding scenery once again changed into a frantic stream of data.

These flickering objects surrounded the crowd, forming a circular barrier.

A face gradually emerged from it - judging by Kaiba Seto's tone of renewed anger, there must be no other possibility for its owner.

"...I didn't expect you guys to be so stupid."

Kaiba Gosaburo spoke maliciously.

"Stupid? You—"

stunned for a moment.

Kaiba Seto suddenly realized that if all this was under the surveillance of Kaiba Gosaburo, then...

"Do you think I can't find this backdoor?"

"This is just a little entertainment—just to show you what happens if you leave here."

A screen appeared.

What is displayed is the "Seahorse Trojan" running under the emergency red light.

"Trojan Horse!?"

"That's the expression, Kaiba Seto!"

Kaiba Gosaburo laughed loudly towards the sky.

"You don't think this military fortress's automatic security system is just for show, do you?!"

"Let me show you your brother, shot through in a hail of bullets—"

"Isn't Noa still in there!?"

The game is really unbearable.

Switching to Yami Yugi, he stared at Kaiba Gozaburo with a sharp look.

"Naiya? Just a failure!"

"His death is simply a matter of indifference!"

Hearing such words, even Liwa couldn't help but want to punch Kaiba Gosaburo.

Holding the Millennium Rubik's Cube in my hand, I pondered how to act——

"Wait, the Millennium Cube?"

Liva looked at her hands in disbelief.

At some point, the Millennium Rubik's Cube, which was supposed to exist in the real world, appeared in Liva's hands.

“…Isn’t this a virtual world?”

Liva turned hesitantly and looked at Siren.

She also held a black cube in her hand.

…and it seemed to be flickering.

"Shh-"

"...?"

Kaiba Gosaburo, sensing something was wrong, controlled the data flow to dodge to the other side.
