Chapter 474 But I Refuse!
Jonouchi did not look at the table first - after so many years, the things written on the table had never changed, and he could recite it himself - but sat beside the only bed in the ward.
Lying on the hospital bed was a thin blond woman. Her current emaciation looked slightly terrifying, like one of those exaggerated actors in a Greek drama.
Looking at the haggard look of the beautiful woman on the hospital bed, Jonouchi reached out and brushed her blond hair that had long since lost its luster - her hair used to be like gold threads, but now it is more like straw.
But in Jonouchi's eyes, she was still as beautiful as before.
"Mai, you have lost a lot of weight after so many years..." Knowing that the beauty on the bed could not wake up, Jonouchi sat silently with a nostalgic expression on his face: "Back then... I really shouldn't have taken you there. Such a dangerous place.”
Although this is an old story, today, for some reason, Jonouchi suddenly wanted to come here to chat with Peacock Dance.
"Do you still remember the little girl you once told me about?" Jonouchi touched Peacock Dance's thin hands - these small hands that were once as beautiful as mutton-fat jade are now like dead branches, "That's the one Asuka Tenjoin, you said that you will be a teacher at Absolute Academy and you want her to be your student. I met her some time ago and she is indeed as smart as you said, but I still think you are smarter. a little."
As he spoke, Jonouchi sighed: "Oh...it's a pity that she is now Sachiko Umino's student. You know Sachiko Umino, the one who defeated you in the second KC Cup of Kaiba Bureau. That girl - of course she relies on luck, and I know that in terms of strength, you must be more powerful - so even if you wake up now, you won't be able to accept Asuka..."
"By the way, I did my first Synchro Summon the day before yesterday. I was on the shuttle in Duel 'Flight Mode' and it was very successful, but the monster I summoned was not very strong." Jonouchi said mockingly: "If you are still here If you do, you will definitely laugh at me for not making any progress, right?"
"Wu...I miss you so much..."
I don't know why, but at this time, on the instrument recording Peacock Dance's heartbeat, her heartbeat seemed to be a little faster, but Jonouchi didn't notice it. Besides, this should be considered a normal situation.
At this time, the list in Jonouchi's hand fell down. The words on it were clearly visible and pitifully sparse, but it still roughly described the current situation of Peacock Dance:
Vegetative state, brain close to death.
At first, when "Onihime" first appeared on the bustling street, in order to protect Jonouchi's drunken father, Jonouchi and Peacock Mai were attacked by "Onihime" one after another; but after that, Jonouchi was only slightly A little confused, Peacock Wu has been unconscious until now.
The only thing to be "fortunate" about is "Ghost Princess"'s knife that doesn't seem to attack the body but the soul, so Peacock Dance's heart is still beating now, otherwise she might have been declared dead and buried.
"Wu, if you wait any longer, I will definitely find a way to make you better!" Jonouchi looked at the weak Peacock Wu in front of him with firm eyes and said, "I swear!"
"Crack, snap, snap."
However, just as Jonouchi was swearing, the sound of applause came from the door on the side in an extremely disgraceful way.
"It's such a touching scene, I almost cried." A young boy leaned against the door. He smiled evilly and looked at the sad Jonouchi: "Long time no see, Teacher Jonouchi~"
"Izayoi Akira? Why are you here?" The person in front of me actually knew him in the city. He stood up suddenly and angrily said: "This should be a private space, right? What do you mean by that? Get out of here!"
Jonouchi held back a curse word - he was born as a delinquent, and although he was now considered to be in the upper class because he was an extraordinary master, he would still do such things involuntarily when he was emotional.
"Teacher... you're not so impersonal, are you?" "Izayoi" at the door smiled slightly and said, "Anyway, I am also your student~"
"Really? But you don't feel like that diligent and studious Izayoi Akira at all." Jonouchi stood up - behind him, a mighty and majestic black dragon with red eyes was facing "Sixteen" in front of him. "Ye" roared vigilantly: "The 'Red-Eyed Black Dragon' has never been so alert when facing Izayoi."
"Ang!" A dragon's roar that was difficult for outsiders to hear came from behind Jonouchi - even though it seemed full of majesty, Jonouchi had to gently stroke the black dragon's slightly trembling head at this time.
The true red-eyed black dragon is demonstrating to the person in front of him, but this demonstration is not because the opponent is weak, but because the opponent is so powerful that the black dragon feels the threat of death... Yes, the "true red-eyed black dragon" is afraid.
Looking at the "True Red-Eyed Black Dragon" at this time, "Izayoi" thought that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he took a step forward, bowed slightly and said: "It's true...it turns out there is such trouble around you. Identifier. This way I can only tell you my true identity - Messiah Emanoch, I'm sorry for temporarily borrowing your student's body - just call me 'Messiah' ”
"Messiah... do you think you are the savior?" Jonouchi smiled disdainfully: "What the hell do you want to do?"
"Nothing, I just want to make a deal with you." Messiah closed the door and sat in the ward without any hesitation, "What a beautiful woman, isn't she?"
"You don't need to judge."
"But her soul is wandering now." Messiah smiled and said, "And I have a way to wake her up."
"You..." Jonouchi didn't want to pay attention to this charlatan, but when he heard the words "her soul is wandering", Jonouchi suddenly remembered that another person had said this sentence!
"Her soul is wandering." When Kongquewu was just hospitalized, Mutou Yugi who came to visit also said: "If we can find where her soul is, I think it shouldn't be difficult to ask Xiaohui to cure her."
"You..." Jonouchi, who seemed to believe in the "Messiah" in front of him, said seriously: "What do you want to trade? What do I have to pay to revive Mai?"
"This is very simple - for you." Messiah smiled and said to Jonouchi: "The whole world doesn't know the location of the first generation duel king Mutou Yugi, but I guess you must know, so I want you to tell me where Mutou Yugi is."
"You...what are you looking for Yugi for?" Jonouchi realized that things were not simple. Yugi did ask him to keep his location secret, but he didn't want to give up the way to treat Kongquewu so easily.
"Keep it a secret." Messiah stood up and said, "This is not what I want to tell you... So, do you want to trade?"
"I..." Jonouchi looked at Peacock Dance lying on the bed - her face was no longer beautiful, and if she continued to lie down, she might not be in human form...
But, the oath to the game was also the part he didn't want to betray...
"What are you still hesitating about? I think it should be a good deal, right?" Messiah said, "Okay, I'll count down five seconds, five..."
"Your conditions are indeed very good and very tempting..." Jonouchi lowered his head, then he suddenly raised it, his eyes like a cheetah: "But I refuse!"
