In this world where everyone is a dueling brain

"We did meet when you were young."

He said it very casually, as if it was something as small as "we met last week".

Gao Yangyou was just confused at first, but after listening to this person's words, he took a closer look at this person, and then fell into a little bit of sluggishness.

"Just when you lost consciousness, remember?"

The man's name...he knew it.

He remembered...

For a long time, he kept having strange dreams.

In the dream, there are many stories of duelists that have nothing to do with him.

And among them, there was the face of a duelist, and the person in front of him was very similar.

"If you have forgotten, let's get to know each other again."

The indifferent young man looked at Gao Yangyou——

"My name is Fujiki Yusaku."

◇

After entering that door, the world in front of Keiji completely changed.

It's as if this virtual world has taken off its barely stitched coat to reveal its true nature, this virtual world has shown its coldest and most dangerous side.

Originally, the real world was covered with virtual images, but after stepping into it, the boundary between reality and virtuality seemed to be blurred by some kind of force.

Now, when he raised his head, he could see the sky filled with frantic data flow, and countless cracks were torn open, revealing the indescribable void inside, devouring all the chaotic and disorderly data.

Kouji thought that after entering, he would directly arrive at the boss side, but he is a little lost now, and the sights along the way are a bit inexplicable.

He could even see the most marginal neighborhoods of the city appearing here.

[Now, this city is gradually being covered by a data storm of unprecedented scale. All entities are being transformed into data fragments, scattered all over the city. 】

Ai appeared next to Kouji again.

"Into data? What exactly?"

Kouji didn't quite understand, he wasn't good at things related to electronic products, let alone these cyberpunk things.

What's more, these have nothing to do with the science of the Eight Classics.

[Fragments of memory. 】

Ai said a word briefly.

[People's consciousness will slowly dissipate in the form of memory, just like when you met Bowman, you also saw the fragments of your past memory, right? 】

Keiji tried his best to recall. At that time, when he first entered the City of Light, he did see a lot of data bubbles, and some pictures related to the original owner appeared in them.

Are those fragments of memory?

[This is to absorb people's data and transform them into data-like lives, so memory is needed. 】

[In this field, whether it is moving forward or dueling, there is a danger of losing your own data and gradually becoming part of the collective consciousness. 】

When Ai finished speaking, the road in front of Kouji was shrouded in a huge data storm, and a piece of intact ground was torn into huge potholes.

And the memory picture that was near there just now was unknown who belonged to it, and it was easily erased, leaving only meaningless data.

If he had moved on, he might have ended up in a similar situation.

"Next, what am I going to do?"

[In this field, there are fragments of Ignis belonging to the first five realms, but they are just fragments, you need to knock them all down again. 】

The storm in front of him was getting bigger and bigger, and several gusts of wind blew towards Keiji, hitting him, lifting the hem of his clothes, and stinging his face like a sharp weapon.

Kouji's expression was still calm, and he walked slowly forward. From time to time, a surge of data hit him, but it didn't stop his footsteps——

"Five times BOSSRUSH? Take it easy."

[It looks very easy, Xiao Keiji, but this is not just a difficulty that can be overcome by duel strength. After experiencing so many battles, even you will be lost in the storm of data. 】

"It doesn't matter, just get rid of the first few. As for the last heavyweight, it doesn't matter if I leave it to Xiao Gao."

Huiji said with a smile.

He has never minded leaving the head to the younger generation, anyway the experience is his.

And he also has things he wants to do.

"However, Ai Jiang, although I promised to cooperate with you, I haven't figured out what kind of relationship you have with that 'God of Fire Spirit'. You won't backstab me, will you?"

Keiji said with a smile.

He always felt that this Ai was a bit of a teenage boy.

【How could it be? You and I have the same purpose. We were good partners a few years ago, weren't we? 】

What Ai said several years ago should be about the matter with the original owner, but Kouji didn't know exactly what was going on.

Seeing that Kou Erguang was smiling but did not respond, Ai started to change the subject again:

[Oh, by the way, did you forget Miss Dragon King War God?Isn't tomorrow the day we agreed with her? 】

After talking about the serious things, Ai started chatting with Keiji in a cheerful tone again.

It remembered clearly that tomorrow was the date that Keiji had arranged to duel with Miss Kaiba.

It also thought that Kouji's memory would be good, but after all, human beings have limits.

But Kouji replied casually:

"I didn't forget it."

【Um? 】

Ai blinked.

"I said I didn't forget."

He did remember the date, no matter how bad his memory was, it was impossible for him to forget the things he had agreed with others.

This made Ai a little puzzled.

【Then do you think this matter can be resolved before tomorrow?Now the entire city will be completely covered in the data storm, and there is no concept of time. 】

Kouji shook his head.

It's not that he thinks this matter will be resolved so easily.

It's just that he didn't think he would be able to keep the appointment.

Even though he remembered the date, it didn't mean he could keep the promise.

"I don't know where I'm going to duel her, nor have I forgotten why she's going to duel me."

In other words, he did know, for example, some things about the team competition, and the fact that both of them lost in the game.

But that doesn't mean it's called "remembering".

Those were things he hadn't experienced.

"So, I have no intention of going to the appointment, so let's let Miss Kaiba go."

So, in fact, he didn't know what to do.

He has no way to give Hai Maxi the response he needs.

[So, do you think that has nothing to do with you? 】

Ai asked.

"Yes."

【But do you know where you are going? 】

"Walking around casually, but it seems that I found the right place."

After walking for a while, Kouji finally found the location of the first boss, which was probably the Wind Domain surrounded by data storms.

It is also the area where the first BOSS is located.

Just start here.

And Ai also looked at Kouji, and seemed to smile a little, but he started talking to himself even though it was AI.

【Maybe it won't be what you think, Kouji...】

Chapter 1 Rain Curtain

"Are you really... Fujiki Yusaku-san?"

Gao Yangyou was stunned for a long time this time, because the scene in front of him was so unbelievable, if not all his feelings were very real, he might have thought it was a dream.

No, the first time he saw the boy in front of him was when he was dreaming.

In other words, when you lose consciousness.

When he was young, he would lose consciousness for a long time after dueling with others. During that period of coma, he always had some dreams about dueling.

Among them is the story about the person in front of him-Fujiki Yusaku.

Until later, he stopped dueling, and the symptoms he had when he was a child never appeared again.

But recently, as the duel started again, those memories gradually surfaced again. He thought it was just because of too many duels, and he started to have those middle school fantasies again.

Now, the person in the dream appeared in front of him.

He even wondered if his sister got his previous black history in DL.

"If you have to say it, what is here is just a phantom."

Fujiki Yusaku, as he remembered, was a cold person who didn't like talking to people very much, preferring actions over words.

At this time, Gao Yang Yu also remembered something about Fujiki Yusaku.

Playmaker, a mysterious duelist active in the online world, a hero who once fought against the Knights of Hanno, has an AI beside him that exists like a partner.

That AI is...

The memory in Gao Yangyou's dream gradually coincides with the appearance of the black-eyed AI in the memory not long ago.

However, I can't remember the name of that AI.

And Gao Yangyou couldn't remember who it was.

Speaking of the Knights of Hanno, there are actually some strange things.

Compared with the Hanoi Knights in reality, the Hanoi Knights in the dream are more like Kouji once said, an evil force that once brought the online world to the brink of destruction.

"Then... the cards I got in DL before are also related to you?"

Among them, there are many electronic world cards, such as electronic world clock dragon, which are all cards used by Fujiki Yusaku when he was a Playmaker.

"Many of those cards were once lost in the data storm of the LinkVrains world, and were later reappeared in this DuelLinks world, and some of them were left by me."

Fujiki Yusaku spoke calmly.

And Gao Yang Yu looked at Fujiki Yusaku like this.

Sure enough... it's very similar.

Even the temperament is exactly the same as in memory.

"Then what's the purpose of Mr. AI bringing me here?"

Fujiki Yusaku looked at him for a while——

"Sit down and talk."

Sitting down like this, Fujiki Yusaku ran to the kitchen and began to skillfully cook hot dogs, while Gao Yangyou waited patiently.

Although they just met, Gao Yangyou felt an indescribable intimacy, as if they had really met before.

But that was just in a dream, what the hell is going on...

When he was confused, Fujiki Yusaku had already made a hot dog and handed it to Gao Yangyou.

And he picked up a hot dog himself.
