In this world where everyone is a dueling brain

But just now, a person's signal disappeared.

—— Qianguang.

When she noticed that the signal of this ID was off and turned gray, Xin Qing froze for a moment.

"........."

He stayed in silence for a while, feeling frustrated and exhausted.

She has faced this many times.

As before, she was once again helpless in the face of the departure of her acquaintances.

She briefly told herself that this might just be a temporary loss of signal in the data storm.

Now is not the time to be depressed.

Just when she was thinking this way, Xin Qing noticed someone approaching, and when she raised her head, a figure in black slowly descended from the tower.

Some familiar figure.

A familiar figure.

The man in black and mask said—

"In the past, you would always cry when others passed away, but now you can cheer up quickly."

The sound is also the same as it was many years ago, which is nostalgic.

Xin Qing looked at this familiar but very strange old friend and took a step forward.

Before this, she didn't know how to face him with her mood and appearance, but now, she could keep her inner peace and try to understand the man in front of her.

"It really is you..."

She closed her eyes, but memories of this man kept coming.

Gao Yaoyi, the hero of this city, was the one who saved her during the catastrophe.

It was also the person she had dreamed of the most.

Because of this person, she wants to be a dueling guard like him, to save others, to save someone's misfortune.

But now, Mr. Gao Yaoyi is standing on the opposite side of her.

She opened her eyes and looked at each other——

"I'm not a child anymore, it's not the time to cry yet."

No matter what the reason is, there is only one thing she has to do here, and that is to defeat the person in front of her and end everything.

She will protect those who she wants to protect.

"You have grown up."

As he said so, he stretched out his left arm, and the crimson dueling disc like a sword stretched out.

Xin Qing also made the same action.

Then came the duel declaration of the two.

"Then let me see your growth."

As it unfolded, Gao Yaoyi's trump card "Flame Paladin Emperor" appeared on the field.

The Emperor of the Flame Paladin stretched out his hand, and the sacred flame quickly extended into a blazing wave, surrounding the two of them in the blazing light.

This strongest paladin is just like the former Gao Yaoyi, noble and powerful.

Xin Qing looked up at the monster, without saying a word, and drew a card from the deck.

The shining girl warrior appeared on the field, and her body was filled with blazing flames that were not inferior to the Flame Paladin Emperor.

Flames enveloped Li Yi's whole body, covering the field into a sea of ​​flames.

And in that heat wave, a blade wrapped in fire was unsheathed like a sharp sword, pointing at the Flame Holy Knight Emperor.

——Fire draws the sword.

The crimson Sky Striker, also holding the sword of fire, faced the Flame Holy Knight Emperor without fear.

It's like a naive child chasing the figure of an adult clumsily at first.

And now, she has grown into an adult.

In the flaming battlefield, Xin Qing's dim eyes gradually turned crimson -

"Lingyi, please fight with me this time too."

She wants to surpass the figure she once chased.

◇

Not long after that, Haimaxi collapsed and was lying in the intensive care unit, relying on oxygen and intravenous drip to maintain her life. The cold liquid seeped into her skin and blood vessels along the pipes little by little, as if it was a countdown to life.

She still had her eyes open, but the color in her once beautiful cyan eyes had faded.

It feels slightly familiar, like deja vu.

She remembered.

On that rainy day, after facing the doubles final alone, she was lying on the hospital bed with a fever.

Very embarrassed, fragile like a candle in the wind.

She failed.

Whatever the reason, it was her first failure, and it was an unacceptable failure.

But now, she is still the same as that day, without any change.

So vulnerable, so stagnant.

How sad.

but……

If this was the end, was there anything else she could have done?

She remembered that there was something she could do.

After regaining consciousness and regaining control of her body, she gradually raised her hand, unplugged the tube in her arm, and dropped the oxygen mask.

She took a few short breaths.

Then, dragging his weak body, he climbed out of bed.

For the first time, she fell.

Fell to the ground.

Then, she grabbed the bed rail on the side and climbed up little by little, breathing weakly.

Then she heard footsteps, it was Moses, and her tone was as casual and frivolous as ever:

"Wait a minute, what are you going to do?"

Haimaxi checked his body, he was already a little bit stronger, not as fragile as imagined.

She said calmly—

"Today is the appointed day, and I'm going to the appointment."

Moses blinked:

"Didn't I already tell you that that person is probably lost in this data storm and has no way to duel with you?"

She felt that Haimaxi was a little stubborn and clumsy. She had already said it before, but she still couldn't understand it.

Obviously she was telling the truth.

Seeing that Hai Maxi was still silent, Moses walked around her and said lightly:

"That is to say, he has disappeared."

"And you are about to die. A duel will only hasten your death."

This is a defect in the soul, perhaps related to this family named Seahorse.

According to her observation, the so-called heirs of the Kaiba family are all people created by artificial means.

Perhaps only the ancestors of this family were truly human.

And this defect was magnified infinitely in Haima Xi.

"So, it doesn't make any sense to fight that person."

She smiled—

"Besides, isn't your dream to become the strongest dragon user? A duel with that person isn't that important, right?"

This time, she felt that she had made it clear enough that Hai Maxi would not continue to do stupid things.

Hearing these words, Haimaxi was silent for a while.

Does the duel with that person have anything to do with her dream?

"I am not sure."

She said in a dry throat.

"But if I don't go, it will never be clear, I will always stay in that day, stagnant."

Haimaxi said something that he didn't quite understand.

When she just fell into a coma and her consciousness was blurred, she had another dream about that day.

Even now, are you still dreaming about that day?

It's ridiculous...

But it all started that day.

If she never goes back to that day, nothing will happen and she won't be able to move on.

So she moved forward.

She dragged her frail body, ignored Moses, and continued to walk outside.

Moses froze for a moment, his originally calm expression distorted for the first time, as if he didn't understand.

She showed annoyed emotions for the first time, but her tone was still calm——

"Is there anything you don't understand about what I said? He's going to disappear soon, and you ended up just like him in the past."

No point, no point at all.

And Hai Maxi raised his head slightly, panted, and said coldly——

"He won't disappear until he completes the agreement with me."

She is as stubborn as ever.

Moses probably understood that there was no way she could convince this man.

It seemed that reality was the only way to break her delusion.

She sighed:

"Okay, I'll take you there, and then you'll know that it's impossible to find that person based on your words."

Moses helped Hai Maxi up little by little, and then used the power in the Millennium Jewelry.

The door opened slowly, and she reluctantly led Haima Xi into it with half support and half hug.

After traveling a long distance, they came to the center of the data storm, which was probably where the person got lost.

But it's still a needle in a haystack.

Moreover, all around here are filled with data storms that will almost drown everything.

Not to mention Haimaxi, even if she entered it easily, it would be very dangerous.

Let alone wanting to find another person inside.

"Now you understand, if you want to find that person, you can't..."

Moses was halfway through speaking, but found that Hai Maxi had already let go of her hand, and walked towards the direction of the data storm.
