Chapter 51: First Encounter with the Dark Marker
"You are... Kobayashi Mashiro?" Thanks to Lou Bai's ridicule of the audience at the opening ceremony, Poma was impressed by the man in front of him.
"Just now when Long Ke was dueling with Frank, Frank suddenly fainted." Looking towards the direction of the infirmary, Poma said: "According to the doctor's preliminary examination, it seems that he saw something terrifying."
"Now the game has been temporarily suspended, your friends are all over the infirmary."
"Thank you, Poma." After thanking Poma, Lou Bai ran towards the infirmary.
Looking at Lou Bai's gradually receding back, Poma had a guess that he didn't say.
"That little girl, is she the Dragon Sealer? Frank saw something terrifying in the duel with the Dragon Sealer, so that he lost consciousness. Could it be... that terrifying thing, is it a red dragon?" Poma muttered to himself.
After running for less than half a minute, Lou Bai came to the door of the infirmary and pushed the door open and walked in.
"What is this?!" The first thing he saw was not Frank who was frightened by his own earthbound god, but Long Ya lying on the bed.
"What happened to Long Ya?" Lou Bai walked over with some concern. Could it be that he was too strong and frightened him?
"Yeah~" At this time, Long Ya, who was lying on the bed, suddenly stretched, letting Lou Bai breathe a sigh of relief.
"Eh? Why am I here?" Sitting up from the bed, Long Ya asked a little blankly: "I remember... I seemed to be in a black forest just now? There were also big monkeys."
"Long Ya, are you dreaming?" Bingshi said with a trace of concern: "Just now in the audience, you suddenly fainted for no reason, and kept calling Long Ke's name."
"Stupid brother..." Hearing this, Long Ke, who was standing aside, turned his head shyly and whispered.
"Ah, Long Ke, what did you say?" Long Ya suddenly turned his head and asked, not knowing what he heard.
"I mean, stupid! Long! Ya!" Long Ke said angrily, and then her voice dropped again: "You are really not afraid of suddenly blocking me..."
"Hehehe." Long Ya scratched his head with a silly smile: "I am the brother, it is my duty to protect my sister!"
"Wait, what are you talking about?" Listening to the conversation between the two little ones, Bingshi suddenly fell into a huge confusion. Wasn't he watching them the whole time? Why can't he understand a word they said now?
"Just now, Long Ya and I went to the world of elves." Long Ke spoke up and answered Bingshi's doubts.
"Does the elf world really exist?"
"Yes." Long Ke nodded and continued: "We met a man who claimed to be Dimark over there. He stole the [Ancient Fairy Dragon] that guarded the elf world and planned to destroy that world!"
"Oh! [Ancient Fairy Dragon], is this also one of the powers of the red dragon?!" Hearing the name of the dragon he was interested in, the old man who was helping Long Ya peel fruit suddenly poked his head over: "Could it be that Long Ke, you are also a dragon sealer?"
"Dragon sealer... I should be." Long Ke raised his right hand and rolled up his sleeves, and a red mark in the shape of a dragon claw was engraved on it.
"Little Long Ke, did that person mention any earthbound gods, dark sealers, etc." The old man asked curiously.
"Hmm..." Long Ke frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly remembered: "That person seemed to have said something, 'After seeing the power of the Earthbound God, do you still insist on meddling in other people'."
"Oh, then that person must be the Dark Sealer who controls the power of the Earthbound God!" Talking about the field he is good at, the old man talked endlessly: "Long Ke, did you see any animal characteristics?"
"It's a monkey, a big black monkey!" Long Ya on the side suddenly interrupted: "Although I can't remember other things, I remember the monkey very clearly!"
"Yeah." Long Ke nodded and continued: "That person also said that if we want to find the [Ancient Fairy Dragon], let's go to the Satellite District to find him."
"Satellite District?" You Xing frowned, and he was a little worried when he heard the name of his hometown.
"Long Ke, don't worry. I will go back to the Satellite District after the Lucky Cup is over, and I will find the [Ancient Fairy Dragon] for you at that time." You Xing comforted Long Ke.
"No, Youxing." Long Ke firmly rejected Youxing's proposal: "I am also a dragon sealer like you. It is my responsibility to save the [Ancient Fairy Dragon]."
"And me, wherever Long Ke goes, I will go too. I want to protect her!" Long Ya, who was lying on the bed, also waved his arms and shouted.
Looking at this pair of twins who have lived in the upper city since childhood and have no understanding of the environment of the satellite area, Youxing had a headache. After a long time, he uttered a sentence: "That place... is not suitable for you."
"Youxing." A hand was placed on Youxing's shoulder, and Lou Bai, who had been watching quietly beside him, said: "If they really want to go, let them go. The spirit of a true duelist cannot be measured by birth and experience."
Just as Lou Bai and his group were discussing, the official ruling on the competition came out. The final game ended in a draw.
For this result, Long Ya seemed quite indignant, but Long Ke, as a contestant, was very open-minded.
"It's okay. Anyway, I don't like duels very much. A draw is also a good thing." She smiled and comforted Long Ya.
As for the comatose Frank, the official explanation is that as a psychology professor, Frank also suffered from serious mental illness in the process of long-term treatment for others. Coupled with the stimulation of the virtual image in the duel, various factors I fainted from the accumulation.
However, this explanation can only deceive those who are not paying attention to this game at all. After all, the audience present has seen that Long Ke uses very cute cards such as unicorns and fairies. Who would be frightened by these cute creatures? In contrast, Frank's own monster is more terrifying.
However, even if the audience yelled about the shady story, they finally shut up under the pressure of the Public Security Bureau. This explanation also became the "truth." As for the real facts, I am afraid that there are only Gemini, Lou Bai, and a comatose Frank. Got it.
In this series of events, the first day of the Lucky Cup finally came to an end.
"The starry sky tonight is pretty good!" As the night fell and the lights began to turn on, Lou Bai was wandering alone on the streets of Xintong Shiye at night.
After the Lucky Cup ended on the first day, the two brothers and sisters Long Yalongke invited everyone to their house for a party, saying it was to celebrate Yu Xing and Lou Bai entering the second round.
At the party, a bunch of people drank milk, juice, and barbecue, and played till they were exhausted. While they were eating and drinking and preparing to start playing the game of Yu-Gi-Oh!, Lou Bai, who had a bulging belly, was ready to go out for a walk to eat.
"Long Ke has obviously agreed to become a dragon sealer, why don't you return me to her?" In a world that is unfathomable to ordinary people, the shadow of the ancient fairy dragon suddenly appeared behind him.
"Ancient Fairy Dragon, you don't understand people's hearts." After taking out the Ancient Fairy Dragon from the portable card box, and using the card-playing skills he learned after coming to the world of Yu-Gi-Oh, he turned it around in his hands, Lou Bai continued. Said: "It is very easy for people to make decisions when they are hot-headed, but once they think back later, they will regret it extremely."
"Only when people act and fight for this goal, and have the courage to bear the consequences, can they really make a decision. Besides, I don't know if Long Kelongya has the strength to bear this responsibility. "
"This is a [trial], and I think this is a [trial] that comes from the heart. Only by overcoming the weakness in their hearts can they be worthy of the name of Dragon Seal."
However, while talking with the [Ancient Fairy Dragon], Lou Bai suddenly noticed a dangerous aura. Stimulated by this breath, Lou Bai subconsciously became vigilant. His muscles tensed, and he leaned forward to look at the source of the breath - it was a dark shadow, as if it was a blind spot under the light, but even so, its color was too deep.
Just as Lou Bai looked over, the being in the shadow also noticed Lou Bai, and it slowly walked out of the area.
This is a woman wearing a dark green dress, with a black mask and a pair of black-framed flat glasses on her face. She wears a beret on her head, and her long black hair is spread behind her like a waterfall.
From her exposed white wrists and graceful figure, it can be seen that she is a very beautiful woman, but Lou Bai's heart tells him that this person is much more dangerous than some wolf, insect, tiger or leopard.
"Who are you?" Lou Bai touched the card deck with his right hand and asked softly.
"Don't be nervous, I am your kind." The woman stepped forward and stood five meters away from the building: "My name is Misti, and I am the holder of the [Lizard Seal]."
Although she recognized Lou Bai's identity, Misty was still a little confused, because the man in front of her did not have the lifelessness or obvious madness of other dark sealers. He looked like a normal person.
But the hard-to-conceal aura of the Earth-bound God on his body cannot be faked. The moment I saw him, the [Earthbound God Kokalea] I carried with me reminded me that someone of the same kind was nearby.
Maybe he chose the special ability of his Earth-bound God, Misty thought. Although she was also a Dark Seal, wasn't she still no different from ordinary people?
Hearing Misti's words, Lou Bai was a little dumbfounded. Why do they all think of me as a Dark Signer? The same goes for the ancient fairy dragons, and the same goes for the Dark Signers.
"Is the [Lizard Mark] you're talking about similar to this one?" Lou Bai, who was still unclear about Misty's purpose, planned to act stupid first.
Taking out the [Earthbound God-Cucillo] from the card box, Lou Bai covered the effect bar, revealed the card picture, showed it to Misty, and then quickly put it away.
"Yes, this is our symbol." Although it is not clear why the aura of Lou Bai's Earth-bound God is so weak, the Earth-bound God's characteristic of devouring the soul of someone other than the selected Dark Seal has already been revealed. Lou Bai's identity was confirmed.
"Possessor of [Ape Seal], what is your name?" Misti showed her [Earthbound God-Kokalea], showed her identity, and continued to ask: "Are you because of this? What was chosen?"
"My name is Kobayashi Mashiro." Lou Bai, who knew that he had to do all the tricks when putting on a show, controlled himself to relax a little after seeing Misty's Earth-bound God.
"As for how I got this card, I refuse to answer this question."
Misti was not surprised by Lou Bai's attitude. The reason why the Dark Markers were chosen was often the deepest scar in their hearts.
Revealing her scars to the person she met for the first time would make Misty suspicious if Lou Bai told her.
"It doesn't matter whether you say it or not. I just came to tell you one thing." Misty's voice was cold.
"You knew your mission when you were chosen, right? The other dark sealers have already met at the old perpetual motion machine in the satellite area. Come here after you have dealt with your ties with the present world."
After saying this, she turned around and left without any reluctance, but when she was about to leave, she turned her head again, as if to herself, and as if to Lou Bai: "Don't forget, we are just dead people who have returned from the underworld after all, and this world has nothing to do with us anymore."
After saying this, she left completely and disappeared from Lou Bai's sight.
Until his perception felt that Misty had completely left, Lou Bai breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, his back was soaked with cold sweat.
"I didn't expect that the momentum of the dark sealer was so strong? It was completely different from Yak at that time! The earthbound god without a manipulator and the earthbound god with a manipulator are completely two different things." Lou Bai whispered to himself with lingering fear.
When Lou Bai saw Misty just now, it was like a writer who had been sitting in front of a computer for years encountering a hungry coyote in the wild.
Although humans have the upper hand in size and intelligence, the final result is that the coyote will most likely win.
"It seems that I really underestimated them. That's right, how could a villain who is capable of destroying the world be as weak as Yak?"
After standing there for a while, Lou Bai turned around and walked in the direction he came from. After experiencing this, he was no longer in the mood to take a walk.
Coming to the door, entering the password that Long Kelong Ya told him, Lou Bai pushed the door open and walked in. At this moment, most of the lights in the house have been turned off.
Bingshi and the old man said that they had a place to live and had gone back early. Gemini couldn't stand the sleepiness and went to rest early, leaving Youxing standing on the balcony, looking at the direction of the satellite area.
"Lou Bai, you're back." The sound of pushing the door startled Youxing, and he turned around and said.
"Ah, yes." Closing the door, Lou Bai walked to You Xing: "Are you worried about Larry and the others in the satellite area?"
"Yeah." You Xing nodded: "During the day, after hearing Long Ke talk about the earthbound god, I always had some ominous premonitions in my heart."
