Want to play cards? I have a great deck!

"Oh, no, no, no, I won't say anything anymore, I really won't say anything anymore!"

Seeing the girl walking in the opposite direction without looking back, Logan quickly reached out his hand to stop her.

But Shizayoi ignored him completely and walked to the side, as if she had made up her mind not to speak another word to Logan.

Logan had no choice but to use his trump card.

"Is this okay, Xue? If you really ignore me, I don't know how to tell the people above me about that little brother."

With a "click" sound.

Izayoi Yuki stopped and turned around.

"Uncle Logan, what do you mean?"

"That's what I mean."

Seeing the girl taking the bait, Logan leaned against the wall again, waved his hand leisurely and said, "Oh, I never thought that the only two ace and policewoman in our Public Security Bureau would do such a thing. If this gets out, it will definitely be big news."

"...Uncle Logan, you heard everything."

Only then did Izayoi Yuki realize that Logan's attitude from just now until now was really unusual.

"It's because I have good ears. Besides, I was the one who came here to ask that kid a question."

Logan scratched his ear and said with a smile, "Don't worry, that guy saved my niece's life. Just for this favor, I won't do anything bad to him. I understand that you want to keep it a secret. It's true that the public security bureau is not a monolithic entity. But..."

"If possible, I still hope you can tell me again. This case may be related to what I am investigating."

Uncle Logan's investigation...

"I remember," Izayoi Yuki frowned and recalled, "Uncle Logan, you went out of town to carry out a special mission. Could that mission be..."

"Ah."

Logan's casual smile faded, and he said in a serious tone, "That mission is exactly related to the Doomsday Clock."

PS:

I’m currently 7 chapters behind, which is pretty impressive.

Volume 121: Chapter : Sacrifice for the Son? (Updated!)

Logan Hawke, who is as famous as the former Izayoi Star, is the ace of the Morning Light City's Public Security Bureau.

Also known as "Storm Crow", the deck he uses is the same as the Crow Hogan in 5D'S that Yuxi knows, also from the "Black Feather" series.

Her strength level is much more experienced and powerful than the fledgling Izayoi Yuki. Last month, she went out to perform official duties due to orders from above and has not returned until now. It is precisely because of this that the frequency of crimes in the city has increased significantly in recent days.

But with his return, it will probably fall back immediately.

Looking at the orange-haired man in front of him, You Xi recalled the relevant character information in his mind.

After learning about Shizayoi Yuki's past experiences, he searched for Shizayoi's information on the Internet and also heard some information from Shizayoi Yuki and Xingye Wu. He was not completely unfamiliar with this uncle named Logan.

However, these things are just hearsay. After actually meeting the person, the impression I got... is completely different from what I saw on the Internet.

"I see. I understand everything now."

Logan stroked his bearded chin, pondered for a while, and finally spoke.

At this moment, the ward returned to its previous silence.

As Izayoi Yuki and Logan returned to the ward, the Black Magician Girl, who had noticed something was wrong before, dragged the Black Witch back to Yuki's spiritual world, followed by Silent Magician Zero, Tsumugi, etc. Therefore, there are only three humans in the room again.

...As for how many "eyes" and "ears" are secretly watching this place, it's hard to say.

Of course, even if he noticed this, Logan didn't really care. He just turned his head slightly and said to the white-haired girl who brought him here with a strange look: "I have to say, Xue, you really are not afraid of death at all."

"No wonder Ushio was so angry and suspended you. I'm sorry, I can't stand on your side this time."

It would have been fine if he investigated the case without instructions from his superiors, but he also involved an unrelated person like You Xi... Anyone in Ushio Tsuyoshi's position would be furious.

The punishment for Izayoi Yuki was just suspension from work, which was too lenient to be honest.

"I know this is my own problem and responsibility, and I will not evade this punishment."

Izayoi Yuki had already anticipated and realized the current outcome, and she did not regret it.

Moreover, she would have to devote herself to the preparation and training for the Star Cup from now on. The suspension would save her the trouble of asking for leave.

Izayoi Yuki didn't want to dwell on this issue, so she reminded Logan that it was time to get to the point.

"So, Uncle Logan, are these things of ours helpful to you? Are they related to your mission?"

To be honest, Izayoi Yuki didn't have much hope for this.

She brought Logan with her because, on the one hand, Logan's words were serious and it was hard to refuse. On the other hand, she also wanted to make sure Logan didn't mess with Youxi.

But in this case, there was more of a sense of suddenness.

Suddenly encountered and defeated the opponent - excluding Youxi's God Card, their experience can be summed up in just this one sentence.

Grafa didn't say much about himself or Doomsday Clock during the whole process. The only thing we knew was that he was sent to this city by Doomsday Clock to perform a special mission.

By now Grafa had been crushed to ashes by the phantom god, and it was impossible to extract information from the dead.

As far as Izayoi Yuki was concerned, Logan's trip would be in vain.

but--

“Yes, it is quite helpful.”

Logan gave an answer that the girl didn't expect.

"what?"

Izayoi's eyes widened slightly: "What help? Uncle Logan, did you find any clues from our words?"

You Xi, who was quietly listening to the conversation between the two, also pricked up his ears curiously.

Although this seems to be confidential information that cannot be heard by outsiders, since Uncle Logan did not deliberately avoid him, it means that he can also hear it, right?

"Just listening to your intelligence alone doesn't make much sense. I guess I'll just be confused. But when combined with what I've learned, it's different."

Logan grinned smugly.

He casually picked up the fruit on Youxi's bedside table, wiped it, and took a bite without hesitation, then continued: "This time, the Public Security Bureau found a very important base of [Doomsday Clock] and assembled ace-level members like me to launch a surprise attack, which caught those idiots off guard. We successfully defeated two cadre-level beings and obtained a lot of information."

You Xi: "That's a complete victory, isn't it?"

It is worthy of being the strongest violent law enforcement agency under the D Alliance under normal circumstances. With the strong background of the D Alliance spread all over the world, it will not just take a beating without fighting back.

[Doomsday Clock] No matter how careful you are, it is impossible for there to be no traces or clues left after such a long time.

Once exposed, they will immediately be hit by a powerful blow from the D Alliance.

"So Uncle Logan was on this mission." Izayoi Yuki was not surprised that the Public Security Bureau defeated the base of Doomsday Clock. Instead, she was concerned about another point. "But for something like this, they should have asked for the special forces of the D Alliance. Why did they temporarily transfer you?"

The Public Security Bureau also has special operations teams like the "Victory Team" and the "Night Raid Team", which are all composed of ace duelists like Logan, and are specifically used to resolve major incidents.

Logically speaking, there should be no need to go out of your way to look for Logan and the others.

"How would I know? Maybe they have other missions. Their responsibilities are much more important than the trivial matter of Doomsday Clock."

Logan shrugged. He was not selected by the special forces, so how could he know such real secrets?

"In short, through this raid, we have learned a lot of secrets about Doomsday Clock. After the investigation is completed, we will probably formulate the next action plan as soon as possible based on this information."

"So what on earth is related to our experience?"

When Shizayoi heard this, she frowned slightly, feeling that Logan had gone off topic.

Logan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I was just about to say that. This is my exclusive secret, so of course I have to build up some momentum."

"There are many things in the data that I cannot tell you. But there is one thing I still want to tell you - some of the documents and reports of [Doomsday Clock] frequently mention a special word. After being deciphered by ancient writing experts and cryptographers, this word is called [sacrifice child]. It seems to be a very important existence in the [Doomsday Clock] plan."

【祭子】, this term really makes people uncomfortable.

From the meaning, we can roughly guess what it is used for.

"In other words, the goal of Doomsday Clock is to train or find that Sacrifice Child, and then use that Sacrifice Child to complete a certain conspiracy, right? The question now is whether they have found it, and where that Sacrifice Child is."

Shizayoi Yuki thought, this is not easy to find.

They are not like [Doomsday Clock], who know the characteristics of [Sacrificial Son]. If they search everywhere in the Eastern Conference and even the whole world, they will definitely not be as efficient as [Doomsday Clock].

But halfway through her contemplation, the girl suddenly realized something was wrong. The ward suddenly became very quiet.

When she looked up, she saw Youxi and Logan staring at her. Their looks were so subtle that they made her feel uncomfortable.

"What happen to you guys?"

"Uh, no. I just thought I probably knew who that [Sacrifice] was, Xue."

Yuxi said to Izayoi Yuki.

Obviously, there is only one answer.

PS:

Currently 9 chapters are missing, that is 9-1

Volume 122: Chapter : The Secret Conspiracy

The blue flame burned, lighting up a deep light in the dark hall.

Various ancient runes are engraved all around, making this place even more mysterious and solemn.

There was a long square table in the middle of the hall, with three people sitting on both sides. As a cluster of blue flames ignited, another man wearing a black and white mask appeared out of thin air beside the table.

"You're late, [Reality]."

As he appeared, one of them immediately started to blame him.

"I can't help it. I was still dealing with some things at hand. Of course, I can't get there so quickly."

The man wearing a black and white mask - Zhenshi answered casually, playing with a card that was shining with rainbow light in his hand. It was a brand new trophy he had obtained not long ago.

He looked around and let out a long "whoo" sound.

"Are there suddenly three fewer people at today's meeting?"

"The demons and cursed souls encountered a surprise attack by the Public Security Bureau. Their bases were destroyed, their people were defeated, and their souls became food for the Earthbound God. As for Grafa... his soul did not return to the arms of the gods. It is said that the person who defeated him was Izayoi Yuki. Therefore, the three of them can no longer attend this meeting."

Said the man sitting at the head seat at the long table.

The man also wore a hood like Grafa, and the shadow covered his features, leaving only his smooth chin exposed.

No one knows his real name, they only know that he is the actual leader of Doomsday Clock and people call him the High Priest.

"It is said that...?"

Hearing the high priest's words, Zhenli, who was wearing a black and white mask, repeated one of the interesting words with interest.

"It sounds like there's something else going on here?"

"Because this is the official statement, the details are unclear. "Caslia Pisco" was seriously injured and is now in a deep sleep. I can't ask the gods what happened specifically."

The high priest shook his head slightly and did not give any detailed explanation.

But the fact that the Earthbound God was seriously injured is enough to explain many problems.

There may be many monsters that can defeat the Earthbound God in a duel, even a 4-star "Rogue Mercenary Unit" can do it, after all, the rules of the duel are absolute. But there are only a few that can really hurt the Earthbound God.

And the one who could injure a god-level being so badly could only be an enemy of the same level.

Izayoi Yuki doesn't have such a monster in her hands.

"Not necessarily."

A genuine laugh came from behind the black and white mask. He waved his hand and said, "If that girl grows up enough and taps into the power of the dragon, it shouldn't be impossible to do this. Didn't we send Grafa over specifically to determine how far she has grown?"

"If she awakens during the duel, it is not impossible for her to do this with that power."

"Huh, do you believe this?"

As soon as Zhenli finished speaking, the other person sitting opposite him started to laugh.

"That was Grafa, who was one of our cadres. Even if he was a new member, he was not something a little kid could deal with. Even if Grafa was really careless and got killed, it's impossible that no news would get out."

[Doomsday Clock] has its own internal means of communicating with each other and transmitting information.

Among them, the highest-level and most secretive method for cadres is to rely on the Earthbound God they each possess.

The earthbound gods are all connected, just like chatting on the Internet. But even so, there is no news about "Earthbound God Caslia Pisco", which is very scary.

And from the looks of it, it seemed like it was almost killed by someone.
