"I say..." Shen Sui sat in the passenger seat of Aragaki Tanchun, looking at Aragaki Tanchun who was driving, and asked, "Are you really okay? I see that you look very bad today."
"I don't know either." Xinyuan Tanchun said with lingering fear, "I followed your instructions last night and passed those words to Isabella. Then Isabella said some inexplicable words, and then bound me with magic and used some strange magic on me."
"And you became like this?" Shen Sui said speechlessly, "Even if it's a horror novel, it shouldn't scare you like this, right? Besides, Isabella doesn't know that kind of scary illusion."
"You don't understand." Aragaki Tanchun shuddered and said, "It was a very uncomfortable feeling. I always felt like something was trying to come out of my body. Moreover, I felt at the time that the spell Isabella used seemed to be really used on me. This had never happened before."
Shen Sui's mind moved, and he quickly asked, "Has a fortune teller ever encountered something similar before?"
"I haven't heard of it. Otherwise, do you think I would be so scared?" Aragaki Tanchun rolled his eyes.
Shen Sui was silent. He sat there thinking about the invasion mechanism.
That day, when he felt that the invasion mechanism also existed in reality, he searched on the Internet to see whether similar mechanisms existed in other soul card worlds. However, he found that it seemed that only the Dawn Continent had a clear invasion mechanism.
In the game setting, players need to jump through the same NPC when invading other players' games.
In the words of the production team, the same NPC in "Dawn Continent" is actually a projection of the same individual in different worlds. They are actually one person. When players invade other archives, they are essentially attached to the NPC in their own world, and then use it as a springboard to jump to the same NPC in another world, completing the invasion of the world.
If it was in the previous life, Shen Sui would have just regarded it as a setting.
But when this happened in reality, something terrifying happened.
Who is the character controlled by the fortune teller in the soul card world?
"Speaking of which, when you draw soul cards, how do you create characters in the soul card world?" Shen Sui suddenly asked.
Xin Yuan Tanchun stopped the car and waited for the red light. Hearing Shen Sui's words, he said in surprise: "Didn't you create a character?"
Ah...I'm a little different.
Shen Sui did not answer, and Xinyuan Tanchun did not care. He just explained to Shen Sui casually.
In fact, as for the settings, what the fortune card master can manipulate are only the clothing, personality and appearance. The occupation, status and interpersonal relationships of the character manipulated by the fortune card master in the soul card world are all fixed, so the first thing the fortune card master has to do when manipulating the character is often to get to know his own soul card.
In other words, the character controlled by the fortune card master already exists in the soul card world itself.
The Soul Card World is a real world, so how is this kind of control achieved?
Shen Sui suddenly had an idea: Could it be that the fortune card master is actually himself in the soul card world?
Well, if we extend this question, Shen Sui will have many terrible ideas.
For example, since they are all mine, can I switch my consciousness to the Dawn Continent?
For example, since they are all mine, can I use Claude's power in reality?
Then I can do whatever I want?
Shen Sui subconsciously had a desire to be the only one who could rule the world, but he quickly suppressed this desire.
There is no sign of this kind of thing yet, so I can't let desire blind my eyes.
"You seem strange today." Xin Yuan Tanchun glanced at Shen Sui and said, "You seem uneasy. Are you nervous? Don't be nervous. The first game of the qualifying tournament is just a test. It doesn't matter if you lose. There are still four games to go, right?"
"As a first-level fortune-telling master, I'm not that nervous." Shen Sui said.
"Tsk, I don't believe it." Aragaki Tanchun curled his lips.
While we were talking, we had already reached our destination.
After Xinyuan Tanchun parked the car, Shen Sui got out.
"Wow, this place is not small." Shen Sui exclaimed sincerely as he looked at the huge building in front of him.
The huge venue lies like a giant beast in the center of the extremely expensive city of Shanghai. The all-glass exterior reflects the sunlight, and the graceful curves give this duel training hall an unexpectedly graceful feeling.
If architecture could be feminized, the venue in front of us would definitely be a super beauty.
"This is the largest duel training hall in the Magic City, of course it's big." Aragaki Tanchun explained.
The Duel Training Hall is where fortune tellers usually train for duels. You can make an appointment with your friends to duel here, or you can look for a suitable opponent to duel here.
Although the dueling machine is actually designed to allow duels to be carried out anytime and anywhere, you can occasionally see people dueling in a similar way on the roadside.
But just like you can play badminton on the roadside, but some people still like to go to professional venues to play badminton, the duel experience given by a professional duel training hall is completely different. The competition-level experience can make the duel feel as real as possible.
This is also the reason why the world has not developed online duels very well. How can the special effects on the screen compare to the immersive experience?
"Okay, let's go find the people from the Exploration Bureau." Xin Yuan Tanchun, who had already registered, said to Shen Sui, "They should have arrived, as well as your opponent."
Shen Sui suddenly thought of another advantage of dueling in real life: if the duel is disgusting, you can immediately do it offline.
Chapter 83 I am the unlucky one
"Hello, classmate Shen."
The Exploration Bureau sent a man named Ye Qing today to receive Shen Sui. He was very polite when he saw Shen Sui. It was obvious that Wu Ziqin had greeted him specifically.
Shen Sui glanced at Ye Qing and suddenly thought that it seemed that his report had been submitted for a while, and he didn't know how the Exploration Bureau verified it. However, no matter how they verified it, the conclusion they got would prove that Shen Sui's information was true.
He did not hide Alice's trace. After all, the reputation of the witch Holzewell had spread throughout the entire Dawn Continent. The people from the Exploration Bureau could trace Holzewell back with a little effort.
When Shen Sui decided to duel, he had already switched to Alice's form in front of Wu Ziqin. Even if Wu Ziqin didn't pay attention at that time, he would react when the information from the Dawn Continent was gathered.
Hiding things like this will only hurt the feelings of both parties.
At least from the current perspective, the Exploration Bureau is still very generous, and doing this will not be worth the cost.
But if you want to say that Shen Sui told the truth completely, that's not the case. He didn't hide what Alice or Holzewell did, but he didn't mention a word about Claude's actions in it.
In matters like this, it is necessary to leave yourself some wiggle room.
"Student Shen." Ye Qing came to see Shen Sui not because of the qualifying tournament, which had a special referee in charge, but about the information bonus. "Your information has been confirmed to be true by the bureau. Because this information is very detailed and very useful to us, Director Wu has specially applied for a mission bonus of up to 5 million for you. However, the bonus approval process is slow, and it may take until next month for the bonus to be credited to your card."
"It's okay, it's okay." Shen Sui's mood immediately improved when he heard that such a large sum of income was about to arrive.
"Oh, there is one more thing." Ye Qing said a little embarrassedly, "The Exploration Bureau has not yet completely taken over all the authority of the Fate Card Association in the professional certification system, so our arrangement for your certification competition may be a bit tight. You may need to complete three duels today."
In fact, Aragaki Tanchun had already helped convey Ye Qing's meaning.
Because of the lack of cooperation from the Fate Card Association, the Exploration Bureau had basically let its employees take over the rank matches for the students who had passed the qualification duel. The Exploration Bureau was not short of professional players from level one to level three, after all, most of the members chose to retire and take the civil service exam because they could not survive in the competition.
Although they have retired, their ranks are still there, and the ranking tournament does not stipulate that the duel opponents must be active fortune-teller.
However, if Shen Sui continued to fight, he would need a fourth or fifth rank opponent, and the Exploration Bureau would be in trouble. It was not that there were no such people, but these rank fortune tellers were basically the backbone members of the Exploration Bureau. Even Wu Ziqin was embarrassed to ask them to fight Shen Sui in the rank-fixing match.
Therefore, if Shen Sui really completed the triple jump and wanted to move to the next level, the Exploration Bureau would have to find a way to deal with the subsequent fourth and fifth level opponents.
Either invite or draw.
The main reason is that the Exploration Bureau is not willing to use its power to force people to break up relations. Otherwise, simply deducting subsidies would be enough to make most fortune tellers obedient.
"No, is this also possible?"
Shen Sui's first opponent was a young-looking explorer who used a very standard special summon deck. However, after only two rounds, Shen Sui completed a closed-loop chain of [Magic Apprentice Alice] + [Andrew's Staff] + [Resurrection] with one chain.
This opponent was just like Yu Wenyuan, because his key counterattack card was blocked, and he completely lost the means of resistance.
"That's amazing." The explorer wiped his forehead. Alice in front of him had completed her fourth resurrection. With his violently deployed deck, he couldn't summon a single minion successfully.
"I give up." He didn't want to humiliate himself and admitted defeat simply and decisively.
Shen Sui won his second game of the day. It only took him two hours to defeat two former professional players in succession.
He seemed calm. First- and second-level fortune tellers might be very powerful in the eyes of others, but for Shen Sui's already mature deck, they could be easily dealt with.
"Sui Shen is worthy of being Sui Shen." Ye Qing, who watched the entire duel between Shen Sui and Sui, twitched his lips slightly, "What a wonderful duel."
Hearing about someone from afar is worse than meeting him in person.
This Shen Sui's deck is really disgusting.
No wonder some people want to ban his cards through manipulation.
If [Star Super Magic Array] hadn't been banned, Shen Sui could have performed even more fancy operations.
But speaking of which, I heard from the people above that the Exploration Bureau seems to have planned to make a big fuss about Shen Sui's card being banned, and they are going to cause trouble for the Fate Card Association.
After all, a duel industry is not important to the country, but it is extremely unacceptable to embarrass the country in front of the whole world because of a banned card list.
Some people are used to being domineering in the country, probably because they forget that it is very abnormal that one country's banned cards always occupy half of the places in the banned card list.
In the past, the Fate Card Association suppressed public opinion through financial offensives.
But the suppression of public opinion does not mean that dissatisfaction has been suppressed.
Angry people are waiting for an opportunity to explode.
Well, is there anything more likely to set off public outrage than a freshman's card being put on the banned list?
However, after watching this duel, Ye Qing suddenly had a feeling that this card should indeed be banned. A substitute card can already produce such a disgusting chain, so how disgusting would the complete card be.
Ye Qing never planned to meet an opponent like Shen Sui. Playing cards is for fun, not to go to jail.
"Congratulations on your second victory in the qualifying tournament." The referee took out the record and glanced at Shen Sui. Although he already knew the answer, he still followed the procedure and asked, "So, will you continue to choose a second-level fortune-telling master as your opponent, or will you challenge a third-level fortune-telling master?"
"Challenge the third level." Shen Sui didn't hesitate at all.
Ye Qing nodded, wrote a note on the record, and then said to Shen Sui: "Okay, we have prepared an opponent for you."
As he spoke, the referee took out an envelope, which was obviously prepared in advance.
Today, several students are participating in the promotion competition in the duel training hall, so many of Ye Qing’s colleagues are preparing here. If they are picked, they will rush over to duel immediately.
I want to see which unlucky guy will run into the gun of the God of Year.
Ye Qing thought with glee in his heart.
"Your opponent is..." The referee of the Shen Sui Dan Tournament glanced at the text and looked at Ye Qing with a hint of pity, half a bit of mockery and a full smile.
"Third-level destiny card master, Ye Qing."
Ye Qing, who was gloating, was suddenly petrified.
Got it!
I forgot that I am also a third-level fortune-telling card master.
"That's great!" Shen Sui was excited, "Let's duel now!"
