Chapter 142 The Taste of Cards
The helicopter with the KC logo slowly landed on the apron on the top floor of the foundation building like a huge black dragonfly, and the roar of the propeller gradually weakened.
You Xuan and Keihei walked off the plane together, followed by a team of security guards in classic sunglasses and suits from Kaiba Company, and a duel security consultant wearing a duel disk.
The so-called duel security consultant is hired by various companies to handle various matters that need to be resolved by playing cards.
However, the situation of Kaiba Company is quite special, because when encountering a slightly stronger opponent, the president likes to jump out and grab his cards in person, so the card consultants of Kaiba Company are actually slacking off most of the time.
The security director leading the team is Uncle Ji Ye, the sunglasses brother who is loyal to the president of Kaiba in the original DM.
Although this bodyguard brother has few lines, he left a deep impression on the fans of the first generation of animation. One reason is that the president always takes him with him no matter where he goes or what he does, and even once gave people the illusion that "there is only this bodyguard in the whole company."
The second reason is that this person is always too calm, so calm that it even makes people feel abnormal.
In the Duel City competition, the pressure of the three phantom gods made everyone in the venue breathless, but only Jiye, the referee, was calm and composed, and even reminded the players to play cards properly and not to play tricks.
Mr. Ma started a dark duel and beat the opponent's body until it disappeared. He played cards until he was beaten to death, but Mr. Jiye still stood by with a paralyzed expression, with a face full of "small scenes are nothing to be surprised about."
There is always a sense of déjà vu that Jiye is the hidden boss who sees through everything.
At this moment, Jiye has become the most trusted right-hand man of Kaiba and has become the security director. He personally led the team to the front. Someone from the foundation had already greeted them here. After saluting everyone, he turned around and led them into the building.
Everyone walked through a spacious and bright corridor with precious paintings hanging on the walls on both sides. A heavy wooden door slowly opened at the end of the corridor, revealing a corner of a luxurious and luxurious restaurant.
Soft lights sprinkled on the exquisite dining table, which was filled with various dishes, as exquisite as works of art, and full of fragrance.
Tianma Yexing stood up, walked straight over, and shook hands with Keipi.
"Thank you for coming." He paused, "But it's a pity that President Kaiba can't join us in person."
"Brother is abroad, and you can say anything to me." Keipi said, "Okay, you said we have a misunderstanding. What is the specific situation?"
"I was just about to say it. But don't stand, sit down and eat something first."
Yexing clapped his hands, and immediately a servant came forward to greet everyone to sit down. Everyone sat down in turn under the guidance of the servant.
Youxuan noticed that Yexing's card professors were standing behind him, and one of them saw the Kak Dixon who had just met online not long ago.
Youxuan smiled and waved to the man in a friendly way. But Kak saw it and just turned his face black, turned his head away and kept silent.
It seems that the child has a psychological shadow.
Anyway, You Xuan felt that it was worthwhile to have this meal. Anyway, he was mainly a spectator on this trip, and he mainly ate the food besides watching from the front row.
"The International Illusion Society was hacked a week ago." Tianma Yexing said, "An unknown hacker broke through our firewall and stole a large number of cards and scientific research and development data from our server."
Gui Ping frowned: "Hacker? You?"
"Yes. There are not many people in the world with this level of technology."
Tianma Yexing picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
"Especially when we analyzed the intrusion method, we noticed that some technical features are actually quite familiar to us."
"Oh? Who is it?"
Tianma Yexing said word by word: "Seahorse Group."
"Impossible." Guiping immediately denied, "We have never, and absolutely no reason to hack into the system of the International Illusion Society."
But as soon as he said it, he quickly thought of it again, and it can't be said that there is no motive at all. They and Tianma Yexing had a feud many years ago.
"I thought so too, so I just tried to confirm it today just in case. Now I know it has nothing to do with Kaiba Corporation. If there is any offense during the period, the Foundation is willing to compensate for the losses."
"So that's why you hacked into the link system, because the link system is connected to our duel host. Do you want to use it to obtain our data?"
Gui Ping pondered.
"It's not a loss. But do you think that hacker is at least related to us?"
"I know that Kaiba Group has also been troubled by hacker problems recently." Tianma Yexing did not answer this question directly, "There are only a handful of people in the world who can break into our two hosts."
"You seem to have a clue?" Guiping asked, "Do you have a suspect?"
"It may not be accurate to say that it is a suspect 'person.' Yexing said in a deep voice, "It's hard to say whether it is a human."
Guiping was secretly surprised: "What do you mean?"
Yexing changed the subject: "Kaiba Group was once the world's leader in the field of artificial intelligence research and development. Your research team was once regarded as the world's closest to creating digital life, right?"
"You mean. AI?"
Guiping shook his head.
"That's impossible. My brother and I have long ago ordered a halt to all research on digital life intelligence. It has been shut down since that incident."
He paused.
"We are only developing dueling AI now."
You Xuan could probably guess that "that thing" might be the incident in the Noa chapter in the DM animation.
The Kaiba Group is not close to creating digital life, but has already succeeded. But it was also after the crisis of AI going berserk and trying to take away their real bodies in the Noa chapter that the Kaiba Group ordered a ban on the development of digital life.
The AI they are still developing now, like the AI Kaiba that You Xuan faced before, is just a simple duel program. They will simulate the original's thinking, tactics, personality and performance in a specific game, but in the end it is just an imitation, without their own thinking and soul.
And the AI with real independent thinking should be like Noa, like a living person living in the digital world.
"The only digital life in the world is dead, many years ago." Keipi said in a deep voice, "There is no such thing anymore."
"That's hard to say."
Ye Xing leaned back in the chair and clasped his hands together.
"I just provide a way to track down. As for whether you believe it or not, and how to investigate it next, it's up to you."
Keiping frowned and said nothing for a while.
There was a silence of about a minute. Everyone ate quietly, and Ye Xing took another sip of red wine.
Then he wiped his mouth with the handkerchief handed by the servant: "Once again, it's a pity that President Kaiba can't join us. We haven't had the chance to meet again since that time, and I have always wanted to apologize to him in person."
He paused and added: "Whether it's on behalf of the Illusion Club or as a duelist."
Keiping said nothing.
"In fact, I can roughly guess what President Kaiba thinks." Ye Xing closed his eyes gently and said, "He thinks that it was the evil god who defeated him, not me, right?
Now that the evil god is gone, I am not worthy of his opponent, right?"
Keiping smiled: "This is not what I said, you think so yourself."
But he didn't deny it.
Indeed, even Keiping thought so. Kaiba was not defeated by Pegasus Ye Xing at the beginning, but by the three evil gods.
Like the phantom god, the evil god not only has a powerful effect in the duel, but also has a very strong increase in the fate of the holder. Not to mention that Ye Xing's mind was affected at the time, and the whole person could almost be said to be under the control of the evil god.
After Ye Xing was defeated by Yugi, the evil god card was also said to have been destroyed by Bekas. Then in Kaiba's eyes, the remaining Pegasus Ye Xing is just a container of the former evil god, not the man who defeated him, so it is meaningless to come and abuse him again.
"Indeed, it is natural for him to think so, and I can't deny anything. But as a duelist, he will still be somewhat unwilling."
Pegasus Ye Xing smiled, and then opened his eyes, and his sight had moved to You Xuan who was concentrating on eating the whole time.
"You are. Fujiki You Xuan, a student of the Duel Academy, right?"
You Xuan looked up.
How did it suddenly turn to me?
"First of all, thank you for your guidance to my card professor today. I have told them that there are always people who are better than you, but it seems that it is more direct for them to experience it in person."
"It's okay."
You Xuan waved his hand generously, thinking that if you really want to thank me, it's easy to say, let me go around the warehouse of the Becas family.
"Dixon's evaluation of you is very special, so I learned a little bit, and then I learned that it was you who defeated the hijacked AI in Kaiba Paradise. No wonder the president of Kaiba would pay attention to you."
You Xuan held his chin.
He smelled the smell of cards.
"So, if possible, I have a presumptuous request."
At this time, the servant in the back had handed him the duel disk with the deck in time.
".Can you duel with me?"
This game is expected to be a bit long, and it may take two days
