The facts were very close to what Zhao Ye had imagined.
West of Duel Alley.
Peter, the closer of the Seventh Association, controlled his temper, carefully hid aside, and watched the scene of the duel in the center.
The scene didn't seem very warm, it was even a little cold.
There weren't many duelists around. Even if Pete was included, there were only three of them at most.
At the center of the duel, standing on Pete's left, was a "upper class" who looked quite cultured. He was wearing a suit and sunglasses, and looked quite decent. There was a hamburger badge on his clothes, and he looked serious but a little bit unserious. At this moment, he had a smile on his face and looked calm and composed.
Opposite him was a man with obvious dark circles under his eyes. He was tall and square in stature and looked quite tired. It was obvious that he had just finished overtime.
However, what was different from ordinary employees was... this strange, rather tall man was not wearing the common suit in cities. Instead, he was wearing military trousers and boots similar to those worn by humans on the lower body, and a very wide coat on the upper body. There were many pockets on the coat. If you counted carefully, there were almost ten pockets. It seemed that the clothes were designed to be very wide just to add these ten pockets.
Even for this sturdy man, the coat still looks a little loose and cannot fully stretch out.
The person behind him, on the other side, who was wearing the same clothes as him, had a more normal figure, and the coat covered his entire body.
Peter knew this suit...
This is the uniform of J Company's surveillance personnel.
J Company, J Wing, J Club, whatever you call it, it doesn't matter. The only thing Pete needs to be sure of is one thing, that is -
—What on earth are these two J Company employees here for?
You know, no matter what J Company is thinking, they are undoubtedly the rulers of the entire [District 10]!
Why did J Company's surveillance personnel appear in the back alley?
Although J Company is one of the few companies that gives employees a day off, but... even so, they probably won't leave the "nest" and come to the back alley, right? Even if they come to the back alley for a tour, they should have a tailor-made person with them.
No matter how you look at it, the appearance of people from J Company here is a special signal!
As an intelligence officer, Pete would never allow himself to avoid J Company out of fear just because someone from J Company showed up!
Moreover, that Sword of Sealing Light... doesn't seem to be one of the cards that have been recorded in all the duel cards? !
Although he has not yet fully acquired all the intelligence from Link Company, Pete already knows that if the duelist is in high spirits or extremely painful, then the duelist may get a card from the deck that does not exist in the normal records.
The linking company does not prohibit this behavior, which means that, at least in the eyes of the linking company, this is a normal thing.
Compared to "peek at your hand" and "hypnotize your opponent", suddenly making a few non-existent cards appear in the deck seems insignificant, and Link Company doesn't think it matters at all.
but--
That J Company duelist doesn't look like he's in a "high spirits" or "extremely painful" state at all! ?
Even after placing the magic card into the slot, the tall man had a completely blank expression on his face. He did not look like he had "survived a disaster" at all, and he looked quite cold overall.
No matter how you look at it, this is weird, right?
The J Company employee who was dueling was not afraid because of the unfavorable situation. He just glanced at the cards in his hand and ended his turn directly.
It seemed that having only a few hundred health points or a bad hand did not pose any danger to him.
Soon, after his opponent could do nothing, the turn came to him again.
At this time, Pete couldn't help but widen his eyes and watch carefully.
Just before the J-company employee drew the card, a strange golden metal-like object suddenly appeared on his body. Pete had an impression of this thing, but because it flashed too quickly, he could not immediately distinguish it clearly.
And in the next moment, he could clearly feel that the expression of the tall man who was in the duel suddenly became quite distorted in a very short period of time, and the whole person seemed to be in great pain. The card drawn from his hand suddenly turned black. The next second, a card that seemed to have black air was drawn from the deck.
Pete slowly opened his mouth.
The J-company employee suddenly became indifferent again, silently placing the card with black energy on the monster area: "Superior summons, summons of the devil."
A demon with white bones and red blood suddenly flapped its wings and appeared from the dark fog accompanied by thunder.
Devil's Summons, Level 2500, Dark Attribute, Demon Type, Attack Power , Normal Monster.
Is it the six-star super rare card [Devil's Summons] that can be summoned with just one sacrifice?
This card does exist in the regular records, but...
He didn't even look at the card, how did he know it was the devil's summons! ?
Pete's brain froze and he was dazed for a moment.
There was no sign of any prosthetic modification on this person, or was it possible that his duel disk had been tampered with? No, that's not right, if it had been tampered with, then I should be able to see it! ?
Pete began to doubt himself, and he even began to wonder if he was not suitable for the job of the Seventh Association.
After a long while, Pete finally came to his senses and was no longer panicking. The next moment, he immediately realized something and figured everything out!
what--
Yes, that’s it, it’s [Singularity]!
It's J Company's Singularity Technology [Lock]!
This guy is cheating!
He had been trained in advance and compared the technology of the Link Company to block two special emotions and open them when needed!
How cunning! Doesn't this mean that every duel will give you two more great card draw opportunities?
Chapter 68: J Company's Attention
"Lock".
J Company's "Singularity Technology".
In the city, if you want to become a "wing" and become a super giant that dominates an area, you must master the patent of at least one singularity technology.
The so-called singularity technology is a strange technological product that outsiders cannot understand no matter how they look at it.
Some technological products, as Zhao Ye knew, such as the "endorphin" promoted by the former L company's Lobelia Corporation, can easily support the energy supply of several wings; T company's "time singularity" can store or accelerate time, etc. For example, if someone uses this singularity to cook, they can easily prepare the food that dozens of people want to eat in an instant.
For example, the "Warp Train" of W Company can reach any place in the city within ten seconds, and the "Warp Train" of K Company can reach any place in one second.
The "HP bullet" that instantly restores a severed limb...
In any case, each singularity technology is full of magical power, making people feel that it is not a "technological product" at all.
However, the singularity of "J" Company, which rules District 10 and manages the J Nest that is as big as a country, is - the lock.
No wonder it feels so familiar to me!
Pete couldn't help but pinch his eyebrows.
The Seventh Association is the association responsible for the collection, organization and analysis of intelligence in the city, and the vast majority of the finishers are responsible for this kind of work.
However, a lot of information is quite "dangerous" and "important". In this case, the Seven Associations will naturally come into contact with [Lock].
The [Lock] sold by J Company is a kind of singularity technology that claims to be able to lock up any [concept].
Whether it is actual material or ideas in the brain, as long as you are willing to pay enough money, you can get a "lock" of the corresponding level to block what you want to block.
But in fact, the locks that most people can get access to are not of very high level. After all, no matter how "people-friendly" or "common" this thing is, it is a singularity product, and ordinary people simply cannot be equipped with such a thing.
Therefore, although most of the [locks] circulating in the back alleys can lock the thoughts in the brain, if the consciousness and spirit collapse, it is possible to unlock the lock, and the effect is not particularly strong.
but--
Those were the locks that back-alley thugs and regular closers got.
How could the real locks, the locks that J Company provided to its employees, be the cheap ones! ?
Blocking your emotions...
This kind of thing is certainly possible for [Lock].
but.
Pete couldn't help frowning again.
This kind of thing should be painful, right?
Although it seems that most people in the city do not have any emotional fluctuations, locking up emotions is still a very painful torture for a person.
Most people probably can't stand this kind of torture, especially with the recent frequent distortions, this kind of torture might drive people crazy. But this duelist from J Company seems to be quite normal?
The Duelists from J Company controlled the monsters and fought the game normally.
Despite receiving the bonus of two card draws, he did not win quickly.
After all, his opponent was not just a random person, and it was not easy to deal with him.
At this time, Zhao Ye finally arrived here. The first moment after arriving, he raised his eyebrows and was surprised.
The scene was actually different from what I imagined.
He originally thought that it would be a lively duel scene, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
And the next moment, he reacted immediately.
It took Pete several rounds of thinking to figure out what he understood in an instant.
"Lock...?" Zhao Ye was extremely surprised.
As a resident of District 10, Zhao Ye had never seen a real lock, but people around him had mentioned this kind of thing. In addition, You Zhou, a former employee of J Company, had naturally inquired about the situation of J Company.
Although You Zhou was only a low-level employee of J Company and had never touched locks, he could still say a few words about them.
And in this scene before us, the employee of Company J clearly showed no change in emotion, which meant that the [Lock] was taking effect.
"Block your emotions, and then release them when needed... This idea seems to be right." Zhao Ye touched his chin and muttered to himself.
"Hey? President Zhaoye, you don't look angry?" When Zhaoye came here and muttered, Pete also noticed him and asked unexpectedly, "Didn't you punish the people from the Dice Gang before?"
He is worthy of being the finalist of the Seven Associations.
Although he was not at the location where the duel between the Dice Gang and the Poker Agency took place just now, Pete had collected all the "big events" in the duel alley in the past few hours through other means.
And, precisely because he had learned about many major events, he came here specifically, because he discovered that there seemed to be some bigger secrets here.
"As expected of the Seventh Association's closer..." Zhao Ye glanced at him, but quickly shook his head, "But, sorry, isn't it written in the rule book? No matter what means you use, as long as it doesn't affect your opponent, you can use anything.
Of course, J Company’s pride, [Lock], is also within the permitted range.”
Pete's eyebrows twitched wildly. He never expected Zhao Ye to say that, but then he thought - yes, since this game itself has a "special state", then using special props to enhance oneself is not something unacceptable.
On the other side, Zhao Ye was observing the current scene.
The seemingly smiling boss of the back-alley company on the left actually had a frozen smile on his face. Although he still looked calm, it was obvious that he was unable to speak out because of the "existence" of his opponent.
After all, his opponent was the employee of [J Wing]. He appeared in the alley at this time, and he must have a mission from J Company.
damn it……
The boss smiled angrily.
Be sure to change areas and collect puzzle cards later, and don't stay here.
He has already thought about what to do after losing.
Zhao Ye looked at his opponent again, a stern-looking man with a flat head, whose hair was cut very short and very straight.
So tall, maybe meters? There is no prosthetic modification on the body, and the hands look very powerful.
Naturally, there are many marks of "twisting" on his body, and it seems that there are many chains wrapped around him, but because his emotions are locked up, he does not seem to feel any "pain".
Ah, when I think about it this way, if the people in this world really have something that they can't stand, it seems quite comfortable to just use this singularity to lock themselves up so that they can never remember it.
In addition,
Zhaoye looked at the cards and monsters on the field.
Sword of Sealing Light and Summons of the Devil?
Devil's Summons is a card mixed with black energy. This card was not created by him from his emotions, but a card that already existed in Zhaoye's card pool. In other words, this person originally drew "Devil's Summons".
The summoning of the devil... But it is a very high-level demon, and its status in the elf world is not low.
As for the other one, the Sword of Sealing Light?
Zhaoye glanced at the card.
It's actually [temporary]?
If Zhao Ye was not mistaken, the Sword of Sealing Light on this person's duel disk should be a card without support. After the duel, it would probably disappear directly - of course, this has no effect on Zhao Ye, because the cards in his card pool will not disappear.
But it's still strange for a duelist to conjure a card that can only be used once.
After all, it is hard to say whether this card will appear next time. Emotional power is limited after all. If a person wastes an opportunity, it means there is a possibility of one less card.
