Chapter 28 Lou Bai: I Don’t Want to Be a Human Being Anymore
Under everyone's curious eyes, Lou Bai opened the box sent by the mysterious man, and the contents finally revealed their true appearance. Turning the box over and pouring out the contents, Lou Bai found two envelopes and two tightly wrapped card holders.
Just as Lou Bai reached out to an envelope, Chris on the side suddenly said: "Oh, Mr. Kobayashi, I suddenly remembered that it's time to go to work now, so Borg and I will leave first. Tell us what's in the box when we come back!"
After that, he pulled Borg and Andrew out the door. Larry saw this and said, "Master, I'll see them off."
"Hey, what are you doing?" After walking out of the door, Andrew broke free from Chris's arm and asked, "It's still a long time before work starts, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
"It seems you really don't understand." Looking at Andrew, Borg stroked his forehead with his hand and said helplessly, "Those two letters, you can see from the envelopes, they are very valuable and very private things. If we leave them there, it will only make Xiaolin feel uncomfortable, and even if there is any information, Mr. Xiaolin will tell us even if we don't ask. You see, even Larry has thought of this, why didn't you think of it?"
Andrew scratched his head awkwardly and whispered, "I, I just didn't react for a while."
Inside the house, Lou Bai, who had created a private space for them, opened the first envelope. Shaking open the letter paper inside, the first line of words that fell into Lou Bai's eyes shocked him.
This is a line of neat and beautiful regular script.
Who would send me a letter in Chinese characters at this time? With such doubts, Lou Bai read line by line.
"Dear Mr. Lou Bai, hello. We express our deepest apologies for the recent attack on you by our card elf Dark World Demon God-Hong. This attack was purely a personal act. We said we were not aware of it and have severely punished the perpetrators. We and your party have always been..."
"Oh!"
However, just as Lou Bai read this line, the letter suddenly emitted a burst of white light. Under the strong light, Lou Bai subconsciously closed his eyes, but when he opened them again, the letter in front of him had become blank.
"What's going on?!" Looking at the letter that suddenly changed, Lou Bai's brain was a little overwhelmed.
At the same time, zone in the cradle of the holy cabinet stopped his actions and picked up the letter that suddenly appeared in front of him. Looking at the letter, the usually calm zone couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Senior Tenth Generation is really something, didn't he read the message I sent at all? Fortunately, I found it early, otherwise Lou Bai would have to infer a lot of information that he shouldn't know at this stage."
Turn his eyes back to Lou Bai. After encountering a bizarre accident, Lou Bai subconsciously thought of the biggest suspect, Zone. After cursing him in his heart, Lou Bai took out another piece of letter paper and read it.
Compared with the previous letter, this letter is also written in Chinese characters, but it looks much more sloppy. If the previous letter was written by a master who has practiced calligraphy for many years, this letter is more like the work of a primary school student.
The following is the content of the letter:
(Handwriting that has been altered several times) Ah Bai, it's been a long time since we last met! Well, you may not have seen me yet, but I still want to say this. After we parted last time, I went to learn Chinese specifically. Is my writing okay? ! I almost got you hurt this time. I didn't manage my people well. I'm really sorry.
(I don't know who blacked out a large paragraph in the middle. There is a line of small words written very hard next to it: Judai is mine.)
The red card pack in the box is an apology for you, and the blue one is an extra gift for you. By the way, the Skyman you gave me before is really useful.
So that's all. I look forward to meeting you and the next duel soon! Signed by: Yucheng Judai.
After reading this letter, Lou Bai fell into an unexpected shock. This, this is... This is Judai's handwritten letter! It's the legendary hero Yucheng Judai! I can actually get so close to the legend! Lou Bai was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.
After laughing for a while, Lou Bai took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down. He began to analyze the contents of the letter word by word.
Judging from Judai's tone in the letter, he and I should be quite good friends, but during this period, he should have become the overlord of the 12th dimension, and I have not seen him, so there is only one possibility... I traveled through time and space in the future through some method and returned to the past.
In the world view of Yu-Gi-Oh, the power suspected of traveling through time and space has only appeared a few times: the nameless pharaoh used the power of the three mythical gods to go back to the past to retrieve his memory, Paradox of the future team went to assassinate Bekas in order to change the past, and in order to stop Paradox, Yusei used the power of the red dragon to go back to the past and fought with Yugi Muto and Judai Yuki.
Considering the era I am in now, it is likely that I traveled through time and space by relying on the power of the red dragon or the power of the future team.
"Ha, I didn't expect that my connection with zone would become so deep without me noticing." Lou Bai complained in a low voice, looked at the letter, and said to himself: "If my guess is correct, and I really traveled back to the past and became friends with Judai, then the line of words in the middle and the paragraph that was crossed out should be done by jealous Sister You. I'm really curious about what Judai wrote!"
Putting down the letter, Lou Bai reached out to the two card packs on the table: "Hehe, although I feel a little embarrassed to get two gifts from Judai just by going to another world, but, I will definitely repay this favor in the future..."
After throwing this debt of favor to his future self, Lou Bai pinched the top of the two card packs with his index finger and thumb and shook them violently, then took out a pair of scissors from the kitchen and cut open the top of the card packs.
Putting his fingers into the blue card pack, Lou Bai pulled out the gift Judai gave him. Turning over the card with the back of the card facing up, the card finally revealed its true appearance. In the card picture, an Ultraman spreads his white wings, shrouded in sacred light.
[Elemental Hero - Sincere Xinyuxia 7 stars atk/def: 2500/2000]
As a noble warrior of light, this card not only has the standard 2500/2000 RBI of the protagonist, but also has a noble effect that works from the hand: this card can be discarded from the hand to activate, and it is activated on a hero monster on the field. The monster's attack power increases by 2500 until the end of the turn. It is precisely because of this effect that this card is respected by a group of card players as "Sincere Brother".
"Great, with this card, Skyman is no longer a high-attack Axe King, but an Ultimate Axe King with 4300 RBI in one turn!" Looking at this card, Lou Bai said with joy: "Is this the gift that the Tenth Generation boss picked for me? The boss is so thoughtful."
After carefully putting this card away, Lou Bai reached out to the red card pack. The gift that Judai prepared for me is so good, so what will this so-called "compensation" be?
With this thought in mind, Lou Bai drew out the card. However, just as he saw the green border of the card and knew that it was a magic card, the card instantly turned into a beam of light and rushed into Lou Bai's body.
As the light entered his body, Lou Bai felt a stream of hot energy coming from the point where the light entered his body and heading towards his limbs. As the energy rushed, Lou Bai felt as if his blood had turned into solid. Every breath and every heartbeat could bring him great pain.
"Hmm, hum, hum, ah, ah, ah, ah!"
Finally unable to hold back the pain, Lou Bai cried out in pain, fell off the chair, and rolled on the ground.
"Teacher, what's wrong with you?" Hearing Lou Bai's cry of pain, Larry, who was outside the door, worriedly opened the door and rushed towards Lou Bai on the ground.
Just when Larry rushed in, Lou Bai was surprised that the knife-like pain in his body suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a stream of warm current flowing in his body. At this time, a gust of wind blew from nowhere, blowing the letter on the table to Lou Bai's eyes, and a line of words slowly appeared in the blank space of the letter: This is the punishment for you taking away the tenth generation!
Ah ah ah, it really deserves to be Sister You who has been a big villain. This punishment is really exciting. Lou Bai, who had just recovered from the pain, looked at Larry's anxious expression and comforted him: "It's okay, Larry, on the contrary, I'm very good now."
"Really?" Larry was still a little worried.
"It's really okay, do you see when I lied to you?" Standing up from the ground, Lou Bai compared his biceps and made a bodybuilding pose.
But Lou Bai was indeed right. Since the light entered his body, Lou Bai did feel much better. The back pain caused by running around for work in the past was gone, and the whole person seemed to be a lot younger.
"And, I seem to have... some special abilities?!" Lou Bai said uncertainly.
Closing his eyes, following his feeling, Lou Bai reached his hand towards his abdomen. In Larry's horrified eyes, Lou Bai's right hand turned into a shadow and inserted into his body. After groping around for a while, Lou Bai took out a ball of red light from his body. After a moment, the light turned into a card in Lou Bai's hand.
"Teacher, are you a human?" Looking at this scene, Larry's two rows of teeth were fighting, and he trembled and said in fear.
"Silly boy, teacher, of course I am a human!" Lou Bai said angrily.
"But, but your hand!"
"Larry." Lou Bai said earnestly: "People can't be generalized. I've seen someone who can control a monster to destroy a city with one blow, so it's normal for me to use my hands to take things out of unreasonable places."
After successfully confusing Larry with his sophistry, Lou Bai looked at the card in his hand. It was a trap card, Subspace Material Transfer Device, which can remove a face-up monster on the field until the end of the turn.
"This ability..." Lou Bai opened and closed his right hand, trying to recall the feeling just now.
"Is this the ability to print cards based on one's own experience?" Thinking of the experience of traveling through the space channel in his mind when he put his hand into his body just now, Lou Bai made such a guess.
Even so, Lou Bai was still a little unsure. After Larry, whose worldview was once again destroyed by Lou Bai, arrived in the bedroom first, Lou Bai knocked on the deck: "Xiao Lan, are you up?"
"Xiao Lan is here!" He heard his voice before seeing him. With a clear cry, Xiao Lan jumped out of the deck, and then a pair of dragon horns hit Lou Bai's chin hard.
"Well~" Xiao Lan stood aside with her head in tears: "Master, what's going on?"
"I'm also puzzled." Lou Bai rubbed his chin and responded: "I remember you came out like this before, but you always passed through my body, why did you hit it this time? ?”
"Eh?!" After hearing this, Xiaolan's eyes widened and she observed Lou Bai carefully for a while. When Lou Bai felt a little uncomfortable being seen by her, Xiaolan shouted excitedly: "Master, are you with me now?" Same!"
"What the hell, I'm not as fussy as you." Lou Bai retorted subconsciously. It took Lou Bai a while to react: "Wait a minute, what did you say?!"
"Master, you are now half a card elf!" Xiaolan said excitedly, not paying attention to Lou Bai's accusation that she was careless. "This is also the reason why, Xiaolan, I don't materialize, and master, you can also touch me."
Half card elf? !
"What the hell?!" Lou Bai looked at his hands blankly. Could it be that Larry was right and that I was really not a human being?
"Xiaolan, please tell me clearly first, what is a half-card elf?" Lou Bai asked eagerly.
"Half-card elves, as the name suggests, are the existence between humans and card elves." Teacher Xiaolan said: "They can be said to have taken into account the advantages of card elves and humans. They will not be forgotten like card elves because they are not remembered by others. Falling into slumber or even dying, unlike ordinary humans who can only rely on external card elves to increase their power, half-card elves can print their own cards! He is most likely a half-card elf."
Hmm... It seems that becoming a half-card elf is not such a bad thing. Lou Bai asked again: "Then how are half-card elves generally born?"
"There are many ways to do this! The most common one is that the glorious deeds of legendary duelists are sung by everyone. In this way, their souls will be 'heroic' after death, that is, they will become half-card elves. Some people will also pass through Their card elves merged to become half-card elves, and some lucky people encountered certain items with legendary power and became half-card elves.”
So, I should be a lucky person in the third category? Lou Bai speculated that if this is the case, then the magic card is a prop with legendary power. Thinking about it like this, I owe you a big favor...
Expanding my thinking a little further, I vaguely remember that the evil consortium K produced many cards based on Yu-Gi-Oh's famous scenes before he traveled through time, such as the Tomb Guarding Messenger, Overrun Speed, Duel Academy, etc. If these cards were in this world Does the existence of the real world mean that these duelists are not trapped in the shackles of time and turned into a handful of loess, but continue to exist in the world as half-card elves? Thinking about it this way, this world is really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon! It’s getting more and more exciting!
