Zhao Ye estimated that it was probably due to the combination of emotions and the [Lock].
After the duel, the employee of J Company walked up silently and told the boss what puzzle cards and rare cards he wanted. The boss of the back alley company opposite didn't want to argue with him any more, so he gave him the cards while cursing and then turned around and ran away.
An employee of J Company, the president of Link Company, and the closer of the seven associations.
With such a group of people put together, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that something strange would happen next.
If you don’t leave now, when will you wait?
Join in the fun? Watch the duel?
I am not one of those crazy duelists who are so obsessed with duels that they don't even care about physical combat. I am here to make money! If I leave too late and get locked up by J Company, it will be a life worse than death!
After all this was done, two employees from J Company looked over.
The J Company employee at the back, who was of a normal build, had no intention of coming forward, but the J Company duelist walked up directly and said, "J Company duelist, Meursault."
Meursault...name?
"Link Company, President, Zhao Ye. Nice to meet you." Zhao Ye smiled and stretched out his hand.
Meursault silently stretched out his hand and shook hands with Zhaoye.
The whole scene was very normal, just like a normal communication between people in the company, greeting each other normally...
But Pete on the side always felt it was very weird.
What’s going on? Are the people in J Company so good-tempered?
He glanced again at the J Company employee behind Meursault. He had a frown on his face and looked unhappy and a little impatient.
This is normal——
How could a winged "feather" be so kind to people from the back alley?
"Recently, J Company has noticed your company's products and has shown great interest in them. My boss said: "Oh, that Hanno card game looks really interesting. I want to just go out and play cards all day long!"
Ah, but I don’t have much time to go to the back alleys, so, Meursault, you take Xiaoka to have a look first. 】
above. "
Although it can be seen from the retelling that his boss should be a very interesting person, Meursault's retelling was extremely steady, without any emotional fluctuations at all, and he looked like a robot.
"I see. Welcome then." Zhao Ye responded with a smile.
Meursault is "lying".
Zhaoye was very sure.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that what Meursault said was a lie, but that he only said the part that “can be said”. The real reason why he came to the Duel Alley must not be this.
Otherwise, why would his boss ask him to carry the [lock] for no reason?
"Tsk, Meursault, why are you telling him this?" The little Ka behind him was obviously not as good-tempered as him, "Don't forget what we are here for."
Meursault remained silent, without any emotional fluctuations due to his colleague's words. After ending the conversation, he looked at the closer of the Seventh Association.
"Duelist, do you have puzzle card number 5?"
Pete's brow twitched.
"Yes. Do you have number four?"
Obviously, when Pete heard the other party's question, he was also a little moved.
Meursault nodded.
Peter didn't know what the employees of J Company and the president of Link Company had reached in this short handshake, or what they were thinking. But as the finisher of the Seven Associations, he would not miss the opportunity to obtain the internal information of Link Company and Duel Alley.
So, he was ready to accept the duel!
"Oh?" Zhaoye's eyes widened.
Bright.
Will the Seventh Association's closer, who is in charge of intelligence, duel with the employee from J Company whose purpose is unknown?
As someone who runs a company in District 10, it is also necessary for him to understand the thoughts within J Company. In particular, this Meursault is also a "special duelist".
It seems that this duel is inevitable for everyone present.
"In that case, how about I be the referee?"
The two nodded, expressing their trust and affirmation of this "madman" who was rumored to absolutely abide by the rules he set.
"So--"
"Duel."
"Duel!"
Chapter 69 Outsider
The duel is called.
Because there was no win-loss relationship or superiority between the two, the duel ended with Zhaoye tossing a coin, and in the end, Pete, the closer of the Seventh Association, got the first attack.
"Looks like luck is on my side." Pete breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought his opponent was a member of J Company, and might have "lucky stickers" or something like that printed on his body. If he could get the first attack - then he would definitely win!
"I cover two cards, and then... activate this magic card."
"A fellow traveler in the tomb!"
Pete sneakily placed two cards in his hand on the Magic and Trap area, then activated the cards in his hand.
Oh?
Zhaoye couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"According to its effect, both players check the other player's hand and choose one card to discard."
As he spoke, Pitt consciously turned over his card and showed it to Meursault.
"What?" A question mark popped up on the J-company employee next to him. "Check both teams' hand cards? Isn't this a foul—"
Meursault spoke calmly, slowly showing his hand card: “As long as the effect written on the card, no matter what it is, can be activated, it is not a violation.
When the rules conflict with the effects of a card, the effect of the card prevails. This is the core idea of the duel. Printed in the duel rule book, page 3, line 4. "
"Oh! This duelist is very familiar with the rules." Zhao Ye's eyes lit up instantly and he became very happy.
He has met many duelists whom he admires very much. At present, the one he admires the most is actually October, whom he originally did not think very highly of, because October has a very deep understanding of the effects of cards, which makes him admire him very much.
He didn't expect that today, there would be another duelist who specialized in studying "duel rules", which surprised him a lot.
"Tsk, there is actually such a rule?" Xiao Ka said in an unhappy tone, "Damn it...why don't you just not look at it?!"
"According to the description in the rule book, if I, as the opponent, do not look at the opponent's card, the referee can check it on my behalf." Meursault remembered it very clearly.
"It's watertight, bastard. This damned Seventh Association closer... actually used this kind of card."
Xiao Ka cursed.
Zhaoye glanced at him.
strangeness.
Are they from the same company?
Judging from their clothes and reactions when speaking, there didn't seem to be any difference between the superior and the subordinate between the two.
In this case, why does this "Xiao Ka" have such drastic mood swings?
Shouldn't he also have a [lock] on him?
Or is it that Meursault is "special"?
Meursault and Pitt check each other's cards.
Meursault's hand cards are Resurrection of the Dead, Summons of the Devil, Strong Wind, Three-Eyed Monster, and a Fusion Magic.
And in Pete's hand, there is the Cursed Dragon, the X-Boss Cannon, and a Fairy Swordsman to fool the enemy.
The two parties confirmed with each other and nodded at Zhao Ye.
"Gas, Fusion, and Devil's Summons, they are all really rare cards..." Pete couldn't help but sigh.
"As the workshop in District 10, it is naturally easy for us to purchase the card boxes of the Light Bulb Workshop. The so-called rare cards are just cards with a very small probability of appearing hidden in a pile of ordinary cards, but as long as we buy enough, we can definitely get strong enough cards." Xiao Ka stood upright with his chest puffed out, feeling proud of the existence of J Company.
Damn the dog owner...
Even if it is an employee in such a low-level position, can they get so much money for completing tasks?
Pete had a toothache on his face. Although this deck of cards was provided by his boss, after several hours of dueling, he was already a little dissatisfied with the deck and felt that it needed some improvements, but he was reluctant to spend extra money.
"I choose to resurrect the dead."
"I choose the goblin swordsman who fools the enemy."
Two
Everyone made their own decisions and sent the cards in their hands to the graveyard. At the same time, a card was automatically ejected from their deck.
"After the effect of Fellow Traveler in the Grave ends, both players draw a card from their decks."
Xiao Ka frowned as he watched from the side.
"Guys from the Seventh Association, why did you choose Resurrection of the Dead instead of Strong Wind? When it's your turn next round, all your face cards will be destroyed."
"Also, Meursault, the monster you threw only had 1400 attack points, but didn't X-Cannon have 1800!? Not to mention there was a Cursed Dragon!"
Xiao Ka was pointing and talking below.
He was not a duelist participating in Dueling Alley.
In fact, when the investigation report on the back alley was submitted to the company, the company only arranged for Meursault to take charge. As for Xiaoka...
He just has a special identity.
Zhao Ye originally wanted to explain to him, but he didn't say a word in the end.
Mr. Ka seems to have a normal IQ. Although he has not participated in a duel, he seems to have his own opinions on duels.
but……
Opinions are just opinions. When a duelist chooses an option, he must have his own reasons.
Unless you clicked the wrong button.
The two duelists drew another card, and Pitt looked at his new card and smiled.
it is good--
Replaced with a more useful card.
"I activate the magic card, Designator of Another Dimension!" He put the card he had just drawn into the magic card slot.
Zhaoye raised his eyebrows.
"The effect of this card is... guess a card name, check your opponent's hand, and if the guessed card is in your opponent's hand, remove that card from play. If you don't guess, remove a random card from your hand from play."
"Too insidious!" Almost the moment Peter finished speaking, Xiao Ka couldn't help but blurt out, "You just looked at the cards in Meursault's hand, so of course you know what cards he has. Doesn't that mean that its side effects are gone?!"
"Of course." Pete asked back, "If there are really side effects, why would I use it? Besides... avoid risks, use intelligence rationally, seize fleeting opportunities, and calculate every step accurately...
This is exactly the philosophy of our Seven Association’s Finisher Battle.”
Unlike the Zwei Association, which excels at defense, the finishers of the Seventh Association are usually not the main combatants, but that doesn't mean that the people of the Seventh Association won't fight.
By rationally utilizing the advantages of his intelligence and adopting the best fighting method, he could solve most of the combat tasks with just a rapier... This was the Seventh Association's closer.
"Then I will declare myself a three-eyed monster."
"Tsk - this bastard." Xiao Ka looked unhappy.
Meursault, on the other hand, was like an outsider. Although he was clearly in the duel, he did not seem to be in a hurry at all. He even showed his hand cards.
In addition to the original four cards, Pete also saw the new card he drew, which was the Magic Card Sacrifice Doll.
"Ah, it seems I guessed it right! I'm so lucky." Pete laughed.
Meursault took out the three-eyed monster in his hand with an expressionless face, showed it to everyone, and then put it directly into his shirt pocket.
Zhao Ye watched this scene from the side and couldn't help smacking his lips.
