Chapter 66: Page 66

Therefore, this kind of emotion is quite "inferior".

This

In fact, it is very easy to understand. Even if Zhao Ye catches someone who offends his card shop, he will directly turn them into cards instead of catching them and locking them up in a small dark room to torture them by lynching.

After all, even if a person does not have any emotional changes, if he is severely tortured, he will inevitably feel pain in his heart.

But this kind of thing is extremely unnecessary.

It is not only inefficient, but also has no high-quality returns, which is definitely not worth the cost.

On the other hand, Pete was also doing "ideological work".

He knew that this "gambling game" called Duel could change the effect of drawing cards through special means.

but--

Do I want to take this risk without clear intelligence?

This kind of fanatical emotion resonates with the cards, and then the things that are drawn into the hand, is it a free lunch given to everyone by the link company?

Is there no sinister secret in this?

As an intelligence worker, he has seen too many back-alley lunatics. None of those lunatics who used humans for experiments had "good intentions". Even if they said they were doing it for the sake of humanity, they must have harmed countless people.

But he—

But he—

He doesn't want to lose!

He gritted his teeth, and he could feel that there seemed to be a flame burning on his hands.

His opponent, although his face was expressionless and although he didn't seem to have any "passion", he knew that sealing emotions and pain in his body, locking everything away with [Locks], made him feel very empty and very painful.

And every time the switch is turned on, the pain will deepen, and this feeling of emptiness and pain will surround the brain and will not be easily dissipated.

In just twenty minutes, after going through three "cycles", this guy named Meursault must have been in a very painful and tormented state, but in order to "win", for the most important thing that a duelist pursues - winning, he was willing to let himself suffer this torture.

So, he doesn't want to lose!

He doesn't want to lose—

He felt his body getting hot and his wrists trembling. Meursault straightened himself slightly and looked at his opponent calmly.

Is it coming? The [real] [Miracle Draw]?

Zhaoye looked solemn and his expression was not very good.

Because he has seen the results.

"I-I-I, I surrender." After a long silence, Pete clearly felt that his next card would be able to "reverse". It was not certain whether he would win, but he could definitely hold on for at least one more round. But he gave up.

He is the finisher of the Seventh Association and he has to be responsible for the work, so he has to be absolutely rational at all times.

Meursault looked at him, slightly stunned.

"Sorry, can you say that again?" This was the first time that Meursault took the initiative to ask others what they thought after arriving at the Duel Alley.

"I'm sorry, I...my logic tells me that there shouldn't be any card in my deck that can defeat you. What a mistake." Pete lied and pressed the surrender button on the duel disk. Then, in the virtual projection of the duel disk, one of the several puzzle cards belonging to him slowly disappeared and moved to Meursault's duel disk.

Meursault watched everything that happened in silence.

All this made him dazed.

"Hahaha, Meursault, well done! The minister will definitely praise us!" Little Ka didn't care about anything else and ran up excitedly, shouting at Pete, "Hey, boy, where's the rare card! Take it out and show it to us!"

He couldn't wait to grab Pete's deck and comment on his cards. "Wow, this one seems to be worth eight thousand eyes, this one is five thousand - oh oh oh, I know, this monster called Dinosaur is worth two hundred thousand eyes in the market!?"

Pete clenched his fists, his hands shaking a little.

He won these cards one by one. Although he had never used these cards and had been using the decks provided by Qixie, he still valued these cards very much - not just for money. After several duels with others, he had a special feeling for these cards. So, when he heard Xiaoka measure these cards that he won with his own hands so purely by "price", he was extremely annoyed.

Meursault walked over and ignored his colleagues' advice. He glanced at Pete's deck, paused on a few cards, and suddenly saw a card that caught his attention.

It was a person kneeling on the ground, surrounded by broken mirrors that seemed to be troubling the person.

Meursault was silent for a moment and took out the card.

"Ah? Meursault, that's mental breakdown, it's everywhere on the market..." Although this card looks very powerful, in fact there are very few people who can use it, so although it is very rare, the price is still quite cheap, and it is a "rare bargain."

Meursault said nothing more.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Meursault, that card is the core card of my deck..." Although there are three of them, Peter couldn't help but say, "It's not precious, but if..."

"This one will do." Meursault did not pick any other cards.

Pete couldn't help frowning.

Mind Break is a very important part of this deck. Even if he loses one card, it won’t matter, but it means that his deck must be “changed”...

Change the deck?

His heart was pounding.

In fact, he has never been very satisfied with his own deck.

Soon, he

He suppressed his inner impulse, controlled his temper, nodded to Meursault and Zhaoye, then turned and left.

Since the target job has failed, I'd better not stay here.

Watching Pitt leave, Meursault came back from his trance.

Just like Pete has his own troubles.

Meursault also discovered his own "problem".

However, although he is "confused", he does not hesitate. He will firmly complete all the orders and tasks assigned by his superiors.

He tapped his duel disk, which showed the number of puzzle cards. He already had four different puzzle cards. As long as he found two more, he could go to the [finals location].

And this is obviously the next step.

So, Meursault and Xiao Ka packed up their things and came to Zhao Ye, who was standing there, touching his chin, wondering what he was thinking about.

"Hello, President Zhaoye. We have a few questions for you." Meursault said formally.

"To be honest, our minister really appreciates your card game—" Xiao Ka added.

"Oh, oh? Oh - sorry." After the two of them finished talking, Zhao Ye came back to his senses, looked at the two of them, and said, "Sorry, I have other things to do, sorry to stop accompanying you."

"What did you say?" Xiao Ka heard him say this, and suddenly took a step forward angrily, pointing his finger at Zhao Ye, "Do you know what you are saying——"

"Sorry." Zhao Ye just shook his head. "My time is also precious. Although you seem to have things to do with J Company, but...

During Duel Alley, I only interacted with Duelists or people who were interested in dueling."

Zhaoye looked at Meursault and glanced at the place where Pete had disappeared before.

"I don't see the spirit of steel and the will of iron in you guys, so... excuse me." Zhao Ye spoke calmly and turned to leave.

"Hey!" Xiao Ka couldn't stand it anymore. A strange light flashed on his body. He instantly came in front of Zhao Ye, stopped Zhao Ye and prevented him from leaving.

"If your company has any problems, please send the announcement directly through the Technical Management Bureau. I will be happy to talk to your technical staff." Zhao Ye had no interest in chatting with them at all.

Xiao Ka was still a little annoyed. He really couldn't stand the feeling of being ignored.

But at this moment, Meursault stood up, caught up with the two, and said to Zhaoye: "You mean, as duelists, we are not qualified to talk to you about important events?"

"After all, you look like... you probably haven't received a formal appointment, right?" Zhao Ye replied casually.

Xiao Ka fell silent for a moment.

Their "minister" is a separate faction of J Company, which is considered a small faction in J Company. Naturally, their coming was not ordered by J Company itself, but by the order of the "minister".

However, in most cases, even a minister of a small faction in J Company has overwhelming "power" over the companies in the back alleys. In the back alleys, very few people dare to oppose or disobey them, even though they know that they do not represent the overall opinion of J Company.

As for Zhao Ye, although no one knew what he relied on, he obviously... didn't care and was not afraid.

"Besides these, if you are interested in the [God Card] and want to ask me the secret behind it - I won't tell you. If you want to know, go to the right place."

"I see... I understand." Meursault nodded. "Then I will play in the finals. In that case, I should meet the requirements of the president, right?"

Zhaoye nodded.

This is natural.

Even if someone has no interest in "dueling", if he is a very good duelist, then he will meet Zhaoye's requirements.

Besides——

He could tell.

This man named "Meursault" is definitely not as "confused" as he seems, nor does he "care about nothing" as he seems, and he is definitely not a "robot" without any emotions.

He has his own logic and thoughts, but... no one has touched his heart.

Zhaoye was looking forward to it, hoping that after the "empty" duel just now, he would actually have some connection with the cards.

After all, the card in Meursault's hand was "crying" - that was why Zhaoye couldn't help but leave. Otherwise, if he was really not interested, Zhaoye would be more or less polite.

Zhaoye believes very much in the feeling of the cards.

If this Meursault really became an excellent duelist as he claimed, then apart from anything else, the "emotional energy" he generated would definitely not be as "inferior" as it was just now.

By that time, a duelist who could reach the second emotional level at any time would be a very valuable and respectable opponent for Ye.

After Zhao Ye left, Meursault took off the deck and spread it out in front of his hand. He looked at these cards that he had been using day and night for these days and were very familiar to him, yet extremely "strange". He pondered for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Open a bounty

As the title suggests.

The one on the shelf

God, I thought it was the last day of the month, so I didn’t think about offering a reward. I said at the time that if there was a chance, I would offer a reward again.

Just yesterday, I thought I had no chance of getting the bookshelf recommendation, but with the support of my brothers, I successfully got it. I was really excited, and this was indeed an "opportunity" in the true sense.

After this book was put on the shelves, the update volume is quite large. I believe you don't need to doubt my reward, right? Your support is the motivation for me to code hard.

Next is the reward rules

Two thousand words per chapter

For every 100 monthly tickets, one more chapter will be added

For every 1 reward, one more chapter will be added

For every 100 blades, add one chapter

The bounty lasts for one week. If it comes down from the big bookshelf, the bounty will be considered over.

Chapter 71 External Cart

Now it seems that in addition to the forces near this area, there are indeed some other forces joining in.

There are not only gangs and casinos, but also more people hiding in the Duel Alley than Zhao Ye expected.

Not only the finishing personnel from the Seventh Association, but even the employees from J Company came.

although……

It was not quite what Zhaoye had imagined.

The closer of the Seventh Association is not the type of person like Wicks at all. He will not make any decision out of passion, but will deliberately suppress his own ideas.

The employees of J Company come here simply to work.

Zhao Ye is certainly not the type of person who thinks, “You don’t want to laugh and you don’t want to play cards, so I’m in a difficult situation.” Even if he really has no interest in a duel, Zhao Ye wouldn’t mind.

After all, it is impossible for everyone to accept a duel. Some people just can't accept playing cards, and Zhao Ye can't force them.

but--

He clearly had an impulse in his heart and had some ideas, but he restrained himself. Zhao Ye couldn't stand it.

If you can't stand it, then Zhao Ye won't keep you company.

He collected some of the emotional energy emanating from Meursault and used his duel disk to transfer the energy to the store, while walking in the direction of the intense duel emotions.

No matter what, now, Zhao Ye has achieved one of the two major goals of opening [Duel Back Alley].

The biggest reason why Zhao Ye convened the duel in the back alley was definitely to allow the [God Card] to descend and then maintain the stability, stability and security of an area.

The secondary reason was to "change the ruling status of the nearby back alleys."
