Chapter 9 - Do You Want to Sleep Together?
Just as Li Zheng came to the conclusion that he seemed perfect but was "thinking too much" in the eyes of anyone who had read the original work, Jonouchi beside him fell into a reminiscence mode.
"I know, Yugi, you don't..." Compared with Yugi's self-blame, Jonouchi had a different view from Yugi. After being scolded by Hui and Kyoko, he seemed to be much more sober, "I know, I can't protect anything. I always watch others fall into danger..."
Next, Jonouchi began to tell a story. He recalled his past. He had a lovely sister, Shizuka, but they had to live separately because of their parents' divorce. And this lovely sister Shizuka was born with an eye disease and would go blind one day.
Watching Jonouchi's self-exposure of his dark history, Hui asked Kyoko and Yugi whether they should evacuate first, but Yugi seemed to have a good impression of Hui in the previous incident, and Kyoko had a good impression of Hui for a long time, so they said it didn't matter.
So Hui continued to sit there and listen to Jonouchi's self-exposure of his dark history.
Just two days before Jonouchi went to the "Dueler Kingdom", Shizuka sent a videotape, saying that she wanted to see her brother one last time. Jonouchi learned that his sister was not far from complete blindness. If she was not treated in time, she would lose her sight forever. However, it costs a lot of money to treat the disease, especially Shizuka's disease cannot be cured in Japan. Only German ophthalmologists can really cure Shizuka's eye disease. In this way, the money needed for treatment is an astronomical figure for Jonouchi's family.
Jonouchi was unwilling to accept this. He didn't want his favorite sister to lose her sight like this, so he tried his best to participate in the "Dueler Kingdom" for the huge bonus provided by Bekas.
Hui (Li Zheng) was silent when she heard this. She remembered her sister in her previous life. At that time, she always liked to follow behind her. Even when she grew up, she seemed to need her help in everything and was very dependent on her. She sighed and felt that Jonouchi was not as reckless as before. Instead, she had a certain resonance with him.
Well, the resonance between sister control.
Hui sighed, patted Jonouchi's shoulder, and said, "It's not easy for you either..."
Although Jonouchi was surprised by the sudden change of the silver-haired girl, this change didn't seem bad, so he was confused and didn't care.
After the flashback, Yugi helped Jonouchi up. When he was about to leave, he suddenly saw Honda Hiroshi and Masaki Kyoko following behind him. He then remembered that they didn't seem to be the duelists invited by Bekas, and asked in confusion: "By the way, Honda, Kyoko, how did you get on the ship?"
Honda was a little embarrassed: "Well... We stowed here, ahaha, ahaha."
Kyoko had a worried expression: "It's because I'm worried about Yugi."
Some of Jonouchi felt the concern of the two at this time, and said with some emotion: "Everyone... Thank you!"
[Honda and Kyoko actually stowed here? 】Li Zheng's mind was turning again, and he began to guess the direction of the plot again - after all, he didn't want to do anything to kill himself - [In this case, Ming Honda and Xingzi's current strength should not be strong. Maybe they will become stronger in the future, but their current strength may not be enough to enter the main plot in the duel. 】
Although this conclusion has been reached, it does not mean that Xingzi and Honda can be ignored. Even if we don't mention whether it will be beneficial to the development of the protagonist group in the future, it is not a bad thing for Li Zheng and Hui to have more friends in this world. Seeing that the matter has come to an end, Li Zheng removed the possession and returned the control of the body to Hui, and also gave her the memory of this period.
Hui was grateful when she learned that Li Zheng had won a few companions for her. Hui's ability to express herself is not good, and her health is not good, so she has few friends. Now it seems that because of Li Zheng, the strange disease that has tortured her for many years seems to be completely cured. She also hopes to make more friends, at least to recognize acquaintances, but years of habits are not so easy to change.
Now it seems that the group of players want to go out and sleep in their bunk beds (except for the seeded players who had several places in the previous competition and had single rooms, all other players slept in bunk beds). At this time, Hui reached out and grabbed Xingzi.
"What's wrong, Sister Dongfenggu?" Xingzi was quite respectful to the only female duelist in the top eight of the previous national competition, but she only remembered her name but not her face before, so she didn't recognize her.
"Just call me Hui." Hui-chan's words were not like when Li Zheng was possessed. She just silently pointed to Xingzi and her room outside, nodded to her, and then looked at Xingzi with an inquiring look.
Hui's meaning was very clear: you are a girl, it is not convenient to sleep in a bunk bed, how about sleeping together tonight?
"You mean, can I sleep with you tonight?" Although she was a little curious about Hui-chan's sudden change, Xingzi felt even more lucky. It seemed that she didn't have to squeeze into the bunk bed tonight, and she and Honda were originally smuggled, so sleeping in the bunk bed was not very convenient.
Hui Jiangtou said: "The bed is big enough for two girls to sleep in."
"Great!" Xingzi hugged Hui-chan excitedly. Hui-chan was a little uncomfortable with this sudden enthusiasm, but she didn't object. Instead, she smiled silently at the other party.
Yugi and others looked at Xingzi with envy, but they had to say goodbye first because they were sleepy.
————————————Tsukuyomi————————————
Li Zheng once again returned to the inner room of Dongfeng Valley Hui. Now the girl's inner world is no longer a lonely ward. Next to the ward is another door, an ordinary wooden door, but it seems to lead to the end of the world.
Li Zheng opened the door of his room. The room only had a door, a bed, a coffee table and a stool. It was even simpler than Hui's original ward. But Li Zheng knew that there was another secret here.
He took out the system mobile phone and opened the task system. The third branch task was refreshed on it:
[Branch task: First victory
The duelist kingdom is coming soon, how can I not perform well?
Mission objective: Defeat 1 small fish in the non-possessed state
Defeated small fish: 0
Mission reward: Exchange: 40 Spirit: 0]
The system is so stingy! This was Li Zheng's first reaction, but after thinking carefully about the difficulty of this mission, he said that he could still accept it. Thinking of the deck he gave to Hui... Li Zheng felt that as long as he didn't encounter the protagonist halo as soon as he came, he would definitely get this reward.
Then what else can he complain about? Don't complain about the lack of things that are sure to be won.
And now, Li Zheng is more interested in the "Spirit Card" mentioned by the system before. He picked up the system phone and asked: [Now explain to me, what exactly is that "Spirit Card"? ]
[……] Unexpectedly, the system phone was silent for a while, and then it still said to Li Zheng in that kind of electronic sound without fluctuations: [For the specific content, please start the "Spirit Hall System" on the system phone, so that the explanation is more vivid. ]
After listening, Li Zheng immediately started the "Spirit Hall System" on the system phone, and saw that the door in the room changed again. Last time it turned blue, and this time it was gold.
[It seems that one color means one function. Although this design is old-fashioned, it is at least clear.] Li Zheng complained in his heart.
(Feng Jingxuan of Heaven (correctly): "A-choo! Who is thinking of me? It must be Li Zheng, and this guy is probably smitten by my unparalleled design.")
Pushing open the golden door, Li Zheng found himself in an extremely large and empty square. The entire square was paved with black and white marble floors. This place was so huge that Li Zheng could not see the edge at all. On the huge square, five huge palaces were standing near or far. They were magnificent, but without exception, they were dilapidated and revealed a sense of desolation.
[Is this... really Hui's inner world?] Li Zheng began to feel a little uneasy, but he could not specifically identify the source of this uneasiness.
"Boom!!!!" Just as Li Zheng was uneasy, a loud noise came from a distance, but it was a bell. From the source of the sound, it came from the huge palace closest to Li Zheng.
The system phone floated up, [Host, please follow me this way. ] The electronic voice came from the void.
Li Zheng followed slowly.
