Chapter 413:
"I accidentally used up all of Aibo's pocket money this month, I always feel a little sorry for her..."
—The person involved, in short, regrets it very much.
Entering the sage time, Bai Xing timidly knocked on the pyramid of light on his chest, and cautiously asked: "aibo, I have a good news and a bad news here, which one do you want to listen to first?"
"Well, what's the bad news and the good news?" Hoshino, who was fully focused, carefully adjusted the deck for tomorrow's duel with the hippocampus in the pyramid, and did not notice such a serious and bad situation at all.
"Then you tell me the good news first."
"Aibo, why don't you play your cards according to your routine, don't most people want to hear the bad news first?"
"No, I just want to hear the good news first!"
shook the can in his hand, Bai Xing smiled and said, "I left a half can of coke for aibo. You can taste it slowly when you exchange it back to your body"
"=_=What kind of good news is this? Isn’t it just a half bottle of Fat House Happy Water? You still need to taste it slowly. Isn’t it too exaggerated? What’s the bad news?"
"The bad news of QvQ is that there is nothing left except half a bottle of Fat House Happy Water."
-------------------------------------
"You prodigal girl, give me your body quickly!"
"Sure enough, I am angry... Anyway, the money is spent on myself, so it doesn't matter who spends it..."
"Of course there is so-called, such expensive barbecue, but I didn't taste it in one bite! And if all my pocket money is used up, how can I solve the lunch at school for the remaining few days? I don't want my height to shrink any more. ."
Hoshino, who supported his forehead, organized and collected the adjusted decks spread out on the table, and urged: "I don't want to talk about these with you anymore. If you don't change it quickly, then only half a can of Coke will not be iced. Up."
"......"
"What's wrong, why don't you exchange it?"
Bai Xing looked a little embarrassed: "No, aibo, it's not that I don't exchange...but I can't exchange it."
From just now, trying hard to try the white star whose soul is exchanged between the outside and the inside, but found that the Pyramid of Light did not respond to him. In the usual way, the blue light had already flashed, and in the blink of an eye, he returned to the warm and familiar three-bedroom and one-bedroom.
"White teeth, an unexpected situation that has never happened before, how can this be handled?"
"What's the matter, Hoshino, have you encountered any trouble?" After bidding farewell to his companions, he stopped by to go home with the game. Seeing Bai Xing who was talking to himself with a flustered expression, he curiously cared.
"Game, I ask you... Do you have any secret techniques when you exchange bodies with Atum?"
"Secret technique?" The strange question that Bai Xing suddenly raised made the game bewildered.
"I don't seem to pay much attention to this aspect of things. Generally, the other me took the initiative to come out at critical moments. Why do you suddenly ask this question?"
"Because Aibo and I exchanged bodies in the morning, but suddenly they can’t change back! It’s never been the case before."
Gaming is also the first time I heard of this kind of thing, and said in amazement: "Hoshino, can't you exchange with another self? I have never had another with myself."
Bai Xing, who was rushing to the hospital, begged: "Game, please call Atum out for a look, if he can teach me the skills to change back."
"The other me, then I call him to try!" Zheng nodded to the game, holding the thousand-year-old building blocks on his chest with his hands, and squinted his eyes to communicate with Wang Yang.
Hoshino tried to analyze: "Could it be because the Blue God used the Dimensional Cube today. At that time, you forced half of my sublimated consciousness back into the Pyramid of Light, so what sequelae were left behind."
"Aibo, do you mean that the hidden dangers that arise after the failure of consciousness to reach a higher dimension are like Serra who is left in the crevice of the dimension?"
Although it was not uncommon to have such a guess, after the duel with the Blue God, Bai Xing was able to exchange his body back, at least she was so sure.
means that if something happens, it should be after that...
"It's not good, Hoshino." Just when Bai Xing was in entanglement, the voice of the game came: "The other me said just now that he can't exchange soul and body now. It seems to be imprisoned by something. The same."
Hoshino: "Even Atum was recruited? When was it?"
It's definitely not a coincidence that this happened at the same time. Without Hoshino's attention, something beyond common sense must have occurred.
Bai Xing shuddered. On March day, the coolness of the evening seemed to hit at this moment, and he subconsciously rubbed his arm, even the iced fat house happy water didn't seem so fragrant.
"I don't know if it is a psychological effect, but I always feel that there is a cold line of sight nearby staring at us..."
Hoshino urged: "Go home first. I will contact Leonardo da Vinci again to see if I can find out the specific reason why the body cannot be exchanged."
"Well, it's not too early." The white star nodded, and after exchanging glances with the game, he stopped staying.
On the streets, after night fell, the faintly flickering street lights turned on one after another. During the rush hour, the chaotic vehicles driving on the road and the usual irritating horns can now give Bai Xing a sense of security in the face of unknown fears.
"Wait, aibo, I suddenly remembered something very important!"
Bai Xing walking on the road suddenly realized the troubles that might be caused after his body could not be exchanged.
"If the two of us can't change back tomorrow, don't you want me and Haima to duel? Then I can be very proud to say that I am not even prepared at all!"
This kind of major duel related to the future direction of the career, suddenly encountered this kind of change, so that Bai Xing has no confidence. Obviously in the morning, I was relaxed and comfortable. I patted my chest and said that when the time comes to play BGM for Hoshino, I help brush 666 by the way. As a result, after playing in one day, I ended up in an awkward situation where I needed to play by myself.
Hoshino also considered this question: "In the worst case, you really need to be on the court... for the future where you can fish at will, you must not lose!"
"Hmm, I feel so stressed, and my stomach hurts..." He rubbed his abdomen, who had just stored the premium barbecue set meal today, and Bai Xing looked embarrassed.
"Can Haima postpone the duel time? Anyway, it's just a verbally agreed date between aibo and you. No one else knows except for the game."
Hoshino: "It seems that it can be counted as a feasible solution, as long as the seahorse has no objection at that time."
"Hoshino, the traffic jam ahead is serious, is there an accident?" Perceiving the strange game ahead, he pointed his finger.
"There is a traffic accident at this time, it will definitely be very troublesome." Following the position of the game, Bai Xing's eyes fell on the intersection of the culprit of the congestion ahead.
The result surprised Bai Xing even more. There was no collision at the crossroads. The irritable old men banged on the steering wheel, and the whistle sounded one after another, expressing doubts and protests about the current situation.
—At the crossroads, the traffic lights that sign the order of passage are all in a red state prohibiting passage. This is absolutely impossible under normal circumstances, and the intersection is completely sealed.
The most incomprehensible thing is the Seahorse man who is standing in the center of the crossroad wearing a new duel plate like a okay person.
The game was surprised and said: "Hippocampus?"
Bai Xing had a foolish look: "Hippocampus, what are you doing? I specially tampered with the traffic lights, just to be able to show power in the middle of the road?"
"Hmph, Hoshino, games, are you guys finally here! What I want to show now is the product that can break through the shackles of this world and connect the duelers with each other's will, a cross-age product!"
The latest duel plate with arms raised high, the AR device on the left eye of the hippocampus that echoes the duel plate, seems to have added a certain energy compared to yesterday.
appeared immediately after being projected on countless nearby skyscrapers, directly using the giant building itself as a screen, the proud figure of the seahorse. The image almost covers the entire Toshino City, making it difficult for people to even notice.
"—Masters! The image you are seeing now is this product that is newly developed by Haima, which can change the times and change humanity! The latest duel plate!"
The white star against his forehead was so embarrassed that he didn't dare to continue watching: "Hippocampus, you guy, are you crazy? Actually, the duel plate is a product that can change the times and human beings. If you want to sell and bring goods, you don’t need to do so. Say it for two."
With a confident smile at the corner of his mouth, Haima completely ignored Bai Xing's complaints, but his voice was a little louder.
"If anyone doesn't believe it, please see it with your own eyes now...Keep your eyes open for a good look, this is enough to be called the power of miracles!"
In response to the seahorse's roar through the night, the dark sky above his head suddenly dyed a bright red like a violent fire.
Then an extremely real burning sensation came from above, attracting the attention of all citizens. Coming from outer space, passing through the atmosphere, a super-giant meteorite with extreme high temperature attached, it fell down without warning. The moment it touched the ground, the unspeakable destructive force set off a majestic impact and a sea of flames, engulfing the entire Toshino City in an instant.
The collapsed buildings, the burning sky, the broken earth, everything is as real as the end. In these few seconds, all citizens of Toshino City have witnessed the end and died in a sense.
"Cheat...Cheat, is this a holographic three-dimensional image?"
In the sea of fire, the shocked White Star couldn't persuade his brain to believe that all the sights in front of him, including all the feelings of the body, were false.
"Hoshino, this is what I call a cross-age duel board! It is not by projecting a three-dimensional image that you can observe with your eyes. It is by directly connecting your consciousness, and at the same time, letting the consciousness connected by the dueling board automatically generate the most Real images!"
"Connect consciousness directly through the duel plate...Hippocampus, what kind of dangerous things have you developed?"
The current Bai Xing has an extremely profound understanding of the phrase ‘there is only a thin line between a genius and a lunatic’. Using the power of the duel plate in front of him, in the minds of all the citizens of Tomino City, a seahorse resembling the burning scene of the apocalypse was generated, making Bai Xing feel a dangerous aura that he had never had before.
"The consciousness of human beings is only bound by the flesh, and through this duel plate, human beings will get a chance to break free! The battle between duels will be transformed into a battle of consciousness connection from now on, I named it It's—DuelLinks!"
Hoshino: "How do you feel that the line of hippocampus is familiar?"
"It's the blue god, aibo! Seahorse, this guy actually said the same thing as the blue god...what the **** is going on?"
(The power of the "Fangjie", the soul and consciousness free from the shackles of the body, will lead the selected to ascend to another dimension.)
"Listen, citizens of Tomino City, and duelists from all over the world!"
Seahorse, which stopped the operation of the duel plate, instantly disappeared from the incomparably real burning environment around it: "Tonight this is only the initial notice. Tomorrow night, the Haima Entertainment Group will hold a major press conference and launch the first duel of the cross-era duel plate at the same time. I will face the King of Duelists myself!"
"It's over, it's a step too late!"
was stunned by Seahorse's too shocking appearance. Bai Xing, who was planning to ask Seahorse if he could postpone the duel for a period of time, was completely lost after Seahorse officially announced the duel arrangement.
Hoshino: "Hippocampus, this guy is really disgusting!"
"That's right, aibo, it's a duel when we can't exchange our bodies. This must be a seahorse conspiracy! And the duel plate that links consciousness. Are you a Sword Art Online? It feels very dangerous no matter how you look at it."
Hoshino: "—It’s really disgusting to use me as a publicity to sell my own products! This time I must charge him for the endorsement fee!"
"aibo? It always feels like you haven't reached the point of ‘disgusting’..."

Chapter 18: Tactical arrangements on the eve of the duel
The Pyramid of Light Space—
"That's it, Da Vinci kiss, can't you find out the reason for the time being..."
Hoshino, half of his body slumped on the bed, sighed sadly after getting a definite answer from Da Vinci.
"Although I couldn't find out the specific reason, the old-fashioned detective in the black suit asked me to tell Hoshino-chan that when I can't discover the truth of the incident, I might as well think backwards. After this incident, who will be the last beneficiary? "
"The last beneficiary, that is, someone who has the motivation to do this kind of thing? Sorry, even if I think backwards, I can't think of anyone who can do this kind of thing for a while."
sealed Atum and himself in the Pyramid of Light, unable to exchange bodies with another soul. Will do something with unclear meaning, at least in Hoshino's own memory, there is no character associated with it.
"Why is it at this time..."
What Hoshino is worried about right now is also the most troublesome thing, tomorrow's duel with Seahorse.
"The other me, is it really okay?"
For two years, at least in Hoshino's acquaintance, from the end of the dark game of ancient Egypt, until today, it seems that Bai Xing has not had a duel in the true sense.
Bai Xing, who has been completely salted for two years, is like a retired professional player. Hoshino couldn't tell how much of the level it could retain during its heyday.
Although the performance of Bai Xing in today's duel with the Blue God looked pretty good, of course, in the final analysis, the Blue God was really ridiculous.
【The evaluation of the dueler level is completed, the dueler blue god, with a comprehensive level of C, will be awarded with 30 sacred crystals of victory. The number of holy crystals remaining at present: 65】
What level is the C level? Even if it was Hoshino’s first duel in the Duelist Kingdom, Kajigi Yuta, who could barely defeat him, was the standard C level.
During the duel city after that, even Yuta was promoted to near A rank through his own efforts. In this era, C-level is already a very low-ranking level.
Of course, through the special (repeated) rule of the dimensional duel, plus the "Fangjie" deck specially adapted to the dimensional duel. The true difficulty level of the Blue God should be much higher than the displayed level.
But to be honest, it is not easy to win a white star. 8000 HP was once forced to 2000. If you change to the mechanism that used to have 4000 points, it is meaningless to have lost. However, Hoshino was able to confidently express that while the Blue God couldn't hold on for two rounds in his own hands, it was also difficult to reach his own life value.
The only thing Hoshino was pleased was that the white star returned to the room, patted his chest, and vowed to use the remaining time to restore the level, adjust the deck, and face the seahorse in a state of heyday.
However, the so-called relief lasted only a few minutes.
"Let the horse come here, Haima! I won't lose to you (.-ω-)zzz"
"Hoshino fell asleep really early today. It seems that I was really tired from playing during the day."
Mana, who showed a motherly smile, was a rare exception this time. She intimately hugged Bai Xing back to the bed and gently covered her with the quilt.
Hoshino: "Mana, you guy, why are you so gentle at this time, like usual, wake me up! I can't sleep now, I can't stop!"
In the melodious BGM of the Flower of Hope, Bai Xing fell asleep peacefully, after all, he never picked up the deck again (tonight).
"I guess it's over this time. I'm destined to go to Duel Academy to work."
Hoshino was so desperate to roll, even if he was incompetent and furious, Bai Xing who fell asleep couldn't feel it at all.
"Sure enough, the closing of the world line is unavoidable... Is it possible that the culprit that sealed me was Seahorse, just to prevent me from being the dean of the academy!"
Although Hoshino did not consider such a possibility, it was quickly rejected.
Not to mention that winning a duel in this way is not the style of Seahorse. The most important thing is that Haima would definitely not believe that this kind of supernatural soul exchange existed, maybe in his eyes, it was just a simple split of personality.
"It looks very irritable girl, it's rare to come over." It was soft and delicate, with a little charming voice, coming from the base of Hoshino's ears.
The disheveled evil **** is different from the black gothic loli clothes that she often wears outside. In the space of the Pyramid of Light, she puts on a wide pajamas that does not fit well. The drooping neckline reveals that she is usually hidden in the dress. , White and tender to reflective skin.
"Everyone who comes here is a guest. As a resident here, let my concubine come and entertain you"
"Entertainment, what kind of entertainment?"
Feeling the warm breath that flows into the ears when the evil **** speaks, Hoshino wonders: "Is there anything interesting in this emptiness of spiritual space?"
stretched his slender hand to the button of Hoshino's neckline, there was a fascinating charm in the Cthulhu's smile.
