Chapter 1343 You-Know-Who
Poke - Poke -
Squatting on the ground, Judai looked at the open space in front of him curiously, and poked and prodded with a randomly picked branch.
"It's so magical. I obviously poked a hole in the ground." Judai said in surprise as he pulled up the branch and watched the hole he left on the ground heal quickly. "It disappeared in the blink of an eye."
"And the triggering mechanism seems to be 'continuous strokes'. If you don't pull out the branch, you can keep drawing and it won't repair itself." Using the soil on the ground as a drawing board, Maeda Hayato drew a large picture in one stroke, and it seemed that It looked like [Death Koala], "Ah, it's broken."
He accidentally broke the branch with too much force, and the picture Maeda left on the ground quickly disappeared like the hole Judai poked, leaving only a flat and empty ground.
"Hmph, so didn't I tell you before, Maeda, to find a better branch?" He proudly raised the long, straight, suitable thickness and even a pair of symmetrical branches as a hand guard. "Twig Sword", Judai said proudly, "Just like my 'Invincible Ultimate Hero Immortal Level Spiral Flash Rondo Roaring Heaven and Earth Unparalleled Cracking Lightning Pill'!"
"The name is too long, Judai. Let's just call it 'Dengguangwan' for short."
"Then wouldn't it be too wasteful for me to deliberately choose such a long name? Even if it is an abbreviation, it should at least be called 'The Unparalleled Sword of Heaven, World, and Heaven', right?"
Hearing Judai and Maeda squatting on the ground and seriously discussing the naming of the "branch sword" and even the attribute settings such as "Zhanwei" and "Knowing Heart", Sho Marufuji helplessly covered his face: "We Why are you wasting so long here..."
"Brother, if we don't leave, I'm afraid Banzhangmu and Asuka-san will reach the finish line."
Hearing Marufuji Xiang's urging, Judai said confidently: "It doesn't matter, Xiang. Look, there is no time limit written on this mission panel, which means that it only takes a few seconds to reach the final venue. Something that can be completed in just a few minutes, or a long-term mission, this is my experience after playing so many RPG games.”
Judai has seen many tasks with this description in the games he has played in the past. Short ones such as "Equip weapons" can be completed in the blink of an eye, and long ones such as "Looking for Princess Seoda" can be delayed until the end of the game. Even if you lose interest and AFK (Away-From-Keybord, hands away from the keyboard, refers to no longer playing the game for a long time or permanently), it is not impossible that you have not been able to complete it.
If the location of the super-large tree is near where Judai and the others entered the virtual world, then the mission they received [to reach the end of the world] is one that can be completed in one go. Judai also It won't take too long to do it, but that tree is so far away that Wan Zhangmu and the others need to ride on the summoned card monster as a mount to reach it?
This is probably a long-term mission at first glance, so you can take your time.
Moreover, Judai used his astonishing wisdom to think that maybe the way Banzhangmu and the others rode on card monsters was wrong, because although the mission description only said "arrive" at the destination, there was no restriction on how to get there. , even the mission prompt only said an inexplicable "Odin's horse". Those who didn't know it thought it was hinting that others should arrive as soon as possible on a "horse", that is, a mount.
However, Judai's astonishing wisdom told him that the "step to" in the mission name [Step to the End of the World] was probably important information that could not be ignored. Maybe he could only step on the ground with his feet like them and then move toward the star. Moving forward in the direction of the oversized tree is the correct way to complete the task.
"Even if you say so, brother," Shoro Marufuji complained, looking at Judai who was still poking the ground with a branch and then looking at the disappearing hole, "Almost an hour has passed since we set off, but we walked through It only takes less than fifty minutes to walk across the grassland into this forest, and I have already wasted more than ten minutes in this place. "
"Huh? Has it been that long? The sun obviously hasn't moved much in the sky." Judai glanced at the sky with some doubts. Because of the cloud cover, he didn't feel the glare even if he looked directly at the sun, let alone here. Or in the virtual world, there is no need to worry about vision damage. The sun he saw seemed to still be hanging at the same height as when he set out.
"Although the sun in the sky is not moving, the time is displayed on the task panel provided by this virtual world. However, it does not seem to be synchronized with the real time when we came in. Instead, it started at eight o'clock in the morning. We set off It was about half past eight, and now it’s already half past nine.”
While talking to Judai, Maeda said a little strangely, "It was probably around three o'clock in the afternoon when we entered this world. We have been in this world for almost an hour and a half, but my stomach is actually a little bit... You’re not hungry? You’re used to having dinner at five o’clock.”
"Ms. Hayato told us before that we don't need to know too much about the Kaiba Group. It would be nice not to feel hungry or anything else. Otherwise, we would have to find a way to get something to eat." Judai said. Then he picked up a piece of grass on the roadside and put it into his mouth, "For example, eating weeds or something? Isn't it possible that the earthy smell of grass has been restored in this world - bah bah bah!"
"Wow, it tastes exactly like grass in reality."
"More than that, I'm more curious, brother, why do you know the taste of grass? Could it be that you're imitating those characters in anime who would put grass in their mouths and lie on the grass to look cool?" Sho Marufuji complained.
However, Judai just looked at the grass, said "Huh?", lowered his head in confusion and did not answer Marufuji Sho's words.
"Is there anything there, Judai?" Maeda asked curiously. He walked to Judai and lowered his head. Even Sho Marufuji, who wanted to hurry up, was aroused by the two of them and came over. .
After removing the grass, the three of them looked at the mysterious runes engraved on the ground and covered with grass, and exclaimed in unison: "This is"
"Who writes English letters so ugly, some even write them backwards!"
Hearing that none of the ten generations of people knew what was written on the ground, a "person" finally couldn't sit still and corrected him: "No, you guys don't know 'rune characters', so don't talk nonsense." Ah meow!”
"Hey, Judai, do you recognize these characters?" "I've never heard of them. What are 'rune characters'?" "Brother, do you recognize these characters?"
After the three people spoke at the same time, they were stunned, especially Judai who was looked at by Marufuji Sho and Maeda Hayato, who was the most confused.
"Isn't it you, brother, who spoke just now?"
Hearing Marufuji Sho's words, Judai immediately denied it: "How is it possible? Who would have such a strange mouth habit as 'meow' when speaking."
"Actually, it's not like nothing." Maeda suddenly thought of someone and swallowed.
Judai and Marufujixiang also thought of a place with Maeda, and a squinting face appeared in the minds of the three of them: "You mean, big--"
Before Marufuji Sho finished speaking, a figure held Judai's shoulders with both hands, suddenly stood up and appeared in front of the three of them, with a warm smile on his lips under a pair of narrowed eyes: "Bingo! That's it! Teacher, meow~"
And at the next moment, Judai, Maeda and Xiang all subconsciously waved their hands and punched each other, shouting with horror on their faces: "Ghost!"
Several people were about to run away, but Xiang shouted in a panic: "Brother, it's time for a hero to appear!"
"Monsters and evil organizations are the opponents of heroes, right? Catching ghosts is the scope of the Onmyoji's business!"
"You two, wait for me! I'm afraid of ghosts!"
After the three of them ran for almost a hundred meters, Maeda, who started the slowest and ran at the back, had time to look back in panic and found that no one was chasing them, so his pace slowed down a little.
Although there is no physical limit in the virtual world, the panic just now made several people subconsciously forget about this and feel a little tired mentally. After taking two deep breaths, Maeda stood there and looked behind him and found that there was no movement. He stopped Judai and Xiang: "It seems, no one is chasing us?"
"Is what I just hallucinated? Maeda, you and your elder brother should have seen it, too. Teacher Daitokuji appeared again." Sho Marufuji heard Maeda calling him, and he slowly stopped. Seeing that there was indeed no danger behind, he walked back slowly, asking Maeda and Judai as he walked.
"If it's an illusion, it's too real. I can feel that my fist did hit something just now." Judai clenched his fist. Although it was short-lived, he did feel like he was in contact with an entity.
"I thought I felt wrong, but Judai, you and Xiangya saw it and felt like they hit something?" Maeda also shook his hands, as if he was savoring the "person" he just hit. "The feeling when it exists, "In terms of feel, it feels exactly the same as punching Teacher Daitokuji in the face. Could it be said that that one is really big——"
"Shhh! Don't say the other person's name, Maeda! Maybe it will really attract the ghost!" Sho Marufuji nervously covered Maeda's mouth to prevent him from talking, "At this time, Just use 'You-Know-Who'."
"Rather than that, I'm more curious about Maeda why you know what it feels like to hit a big, mysterious man in the face with a punch."
Hearing Judai's words, Maeda scratched his cheek in embarrassment: "During the Bon Festival last year, I went to the toilet in the middle of the night and found the great virtue, the 'mysterious man' hiding in the corner with his face covered in blood and scary. I Just like before, I punched him in the face subconsciously.”
"Then I discovered that the 'mysterious man' took advantage of us students to sleep, filleted the fish caught by the principal, and made seafood hot pot for himself and the Pharaoh."
"It really sounds like something a 'mysterious man' could do." Sho Marufuji said with shame when he remembered that he had also encountered Mr. Daitokuji secretly frying tempura and eating it alone in the middle of the night.
"But, shouldn't the 'mysterious man' have" thought about the duel he had with Daitokuji-sensei, the last member of the "Seven Stars" not long ago? After that, Daitokuji-sensei, who lost the duel, transformed in front of him and Asuka After hearing the "flying ashes", Judai said with some seriousness, "Is the one just now really the 'mysterious man'?"
"I don't know, but I think we should go back and take a look." Maeda plucked up the courage to suggest, "Not to mention that we should continue moving forward, this is a virtual world, and we don't have to worry about encountering any dangers."
"Speaking of which, there is absolutely no need for us to escape. Maybe the other party is just some kind of monster that can turn into a character in our imagination." Sho Marufuji also realized that he had nothing to be afraid of in the virtual world. Suddenly He became brave and said, "Maybe I can easily deal with the other party without Big Brother taking action."
Reversing the order of the previous rush, this time it was Marufuji Xiang who walked at the front of the three, taking the lead into the forest and walking towards the clearing they had discovered before. They didn't go far before they returned to where they were before. Escape from the neighborhood.
However, just as he was about to approach the open space, Marufuji Xiang suddenly froze and stopped moving forward. He turned his head in a panic and said, "I, I suddenly feel that this opportunity to perform should be given to you, big brother."
"It's, it's not because I heard crying."
Judai and Maeda listened carefully, and heard the faint sobbing hidden in the sound of wind and leaves. They barely mustered up the courage to poke their heads out, but they saw the suspected great figure right where the few people were just now. The "mysterious man" in the temple was squatting on the spot with his back to them, crying.
"I-I've seen this scene when I was playing games. We'd better not alert the Witch." Hayato Maeda glanced at Sho Marufuji, "I'll leave it to your [robot], Sho, tell him the times with firepower." changed."
"Don't, don't, what if the opponent is not afraid of physical damage. Maeda, your [Death Koala] can also be used."
"I thought [Death Koala] would just give me eucalyptus leaves to eat."
Neither Marufuji Sho nor Maeda Hayato dared to take action against the strange-looking "mysterious man", but Judai was not afraid of the rather supernatural atmosphere. Instead, he stood there with his eyes closed and thought about the past.
Every moment of getting along with Mr. Daitokuji came to mind. The last picture was Mr. Daitokuji's face with cracks like broken ceramics, and the smile he showed to himself: "Don't forget to talk to me." The feeling of having my friends by my side during the duel, Judai, I want to walk on the bright road——'
"Of course I will never forget the feeling of walking with my friends, Daitokuji-sensei. But I will also never forget you." Talking to himself, Judai said to Maeda and Xiang, "Leave it to me. Let me solve the other party's problem. But before that, I want to see Teacher Daitoku again."
"That sounds too dangerous, right? Brother, why don't you think about it again?"
"Yes Judai, if it doesn't work out we can take a detour."
It was not just because he was worried that Judai's actions would alert the opponent before he attacked and put Judai into crisis. As a few people who knew the final outcome of the "Seven Stars" incident, both Maeda and Sho knew that they had defeated the last "Seven Stars" The person is Judai. To a certain extent, Judai can be said to be the person who sent Daitokuji to the last stage of his life.
Let Judai go kill "Dadeji Temple" again, even if that "Dadeji Temple" is probably fake? That kind of thing is too embarrassing for Judai!
But Judai had already made up his mind to leave, and rejected both Maeda and Sho. Judai walked out from behind the tree where he was hiding, and while approaching Daitokuji Temple, he greeted each other from afar.
"Teacher Daitokuji? Do you still remember me?"
"Remember? Of course I remember." After hearing Judai's words, "Dadeji" who was squatting on the ground stood up and showed his face stained with blood from unknown sources. He looked quite ferocious and said to Judai, "I How could I forget you, meow!”
"It's okay if we haven't seen each other for so long and we don't say hello properly. What's the point of each of you punching me, meow!" Pointing to the "panda eyes" in the extremely symmetrical eye sockets on his face, Daitokuji said excitedly, " The key is to hit more than just the eyes. Who punched me in the nose just now, causing my face to bleed? "
Sho Marufuji looked at the blood stain on his hand that he had accidentally stained just now, wiped it on the nearby tree as if nothing had happened, and whistled as if nothing had happened.
"Really? You are really energetic, Teacher Daitokuji. I really miss seeing you like this." Judai smiled and raised his hand, drew on the Duel Disk that appeared, and took out the card. , "That's enough, let me send you on your way again and let you rest in peace."
"[E·hero Winged Man], use Winged Storm on 'Teacher Daitokuji'!"
Seeing Judai summoning [E·Hero Winged Man] to attack him, Daitokuji panicked and said quickly: "Wait, wait a minute, Judai, why are you attacking me, nya! Teacher, I am really a teacher Ah meow, you should be able to recognize my teacher, meow?”
"Could it be that you punched me in the nose just now, teacher, so you plan to silence me, nya!?"
