Chapter 12 Thousand Years of Hostages

real world.

"Hayato!" Yugi woke up suddenly and sat up from the bed sweating profusely, only to realize that he had just been dreaming. However, what he dreamed about was a real event that he experienced personally a few days ago.

"Aibo..." The voice of Yami Yugi came from [Millennium Building Blocks]. As a soul, he doesn't need sleep like Yugi, so as soon as Yugi wakes up, he floats out of the [Millennium Brick] and looks at him who is still in shock, "Are you okay?"

"Yugi..." Also awakened by Yugi's exclamation was Muto Sugoroku, who was sleeping very lightly. He knocked lightly on the door outside the game room and asked, "Are you having a nightmare?"

"...Well, I'm fine." Yugi raised his arm in pajamas and wiped the sweat from his forehead, while answering his other self and his grandfather who cared about him outside the door. But judging from his condition, how could he be fine?

When Anubis activated the power known as the "Gate of Phantom Demons" hidden by the "Three Phantom Demons" based on the knowledge he obtained from the "Thousand-Year Magic Book", everything in the world entered a state of stasis in an instant. Only Hayato and Ah Both Nubis still retain the ability to speak.

But in fact, the game at that time actually had a clear consciousness, but he didn't even have the ability to move his eyes. He could only watch Hayato leave uncommunicable "last words" with great clarity.

After the card named [Super Fusion] was activated, Hayato and Anubis "died together" and disappeared from this world without leaving even the slightest trace, except for the three "Three Phantom Gods" left behind. card.

At the beginning, Jonouchi, who did not witness Hayato's final actions like Yugi, had a brief moment of excitement because of the disappearance of Anubis, thinking that they had successfully defeated it. Even Kaiba, Malik, and Isis were just It's a little strange that Hayato disappeared in an instant, and he didn't think about "Hayato died" at all.

But the silence of the game was so abrupt and incompatible with the cheerful crowd. Faced with the "news of Hayato's death" from Yugi's mouth, the atmosphere at the scene instantly cooled down as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on it.

To this day, the game can still recall the ugly looks on everyone’s faces at that time.

Muto Shuangroku who was outside the door was silent for a moment and said: "If nothing happens, just go to bed early. If that kid Hayato is here, he won't want his friend to get hurt."

"Yes, I understand, Grandpa."

Mr. Shuangliu has been through ups and downs for so many years and has seen a lot and experienced a lot. In fact, he can completely understand the mood of the game at the moment. After all, he has also experienced the pain of losing a friend.

But what could he say? It was through his experience that he realized that this kind of thing could not be healed by a word or two of relief. Only time could dilute the sadness. Moreover, talking to people who have the same sadness can also have a certain effect.

How could a person as smart as Muto Sugoroku fail to notice that his grandson sometimes turns into another person?

However, it is such a pity that Hayato's child lost his life at such a young age.

Feeling the fragility of life in his heart, Muto Sugoroku turned off the lights in the corridor and returned to his room.

However, in Yugi's room, Yugi, who woke up in the middle of the night, could not fall asleep so quickly. Instead, he got up from the bed, put on his slippers and walked to the desk in his room, pulled up the chair and sat down, taking out the notebook he used. A gold cabinet to hold cards.

Valley

This gold cabinet was once used to store the fragments of the [Millennium Building Blocks], but later because the size was just right and there was enough space, the game used it to store its own deck and spare cards. After opening the gold cabinet, the game's card deck was revealed with its back facing up. He reached out and pulled out the card with a red border placed on the top.

'[Sky Dragon of Osiris]...' Behind Yugi, Yami Yugi quietly watched Yugi's actions and silently recited the name of the card in his hand. In that still world, he also witnessed Hayato accomplish what he had always said "sacrifice himself for the sake of justice."

After learning about Hayato's "death", everyone denied it at first, almost completely unable to accept that Hayato, who was fine before, died so suddenly, and felt that how could Hayato, who had always been confident and confident, die so peacefully? He must be playing some kind of prank again, after all, Hayato has such a bad taste.

But, it is indeed true.

As a result, Jonouchi, Honda, Malik and even Kaiba all fell into anger. They were angry that that bastard Anubis actually took away the lives of their important people, but they were extremely aggrieved. They discovered that they didn't even have a place to vent their anger.

The anger turned into an extremely depressing atmosphere, and in the end, everyone reluctantly accepted the fact that "Hayato is dead."

As the last object left by Hayato, the card of [Sky Dragon of Osiris], one of the "Three Phantom Gods", remained in Yugi's hands, but the game did not have Duel City at all. At that time, from Dark Malik The excitement I felt when I got the [Sky Dragon of Osiris] for the first time in my hand only made me think about it, recalling every detail of Hayato's "lifetime".

‘What a cunning guy. After defeating me, he actually escaped without permission. ’

The words Kaiba said when he took away [Obelisk's Titan Weapon] a few days ago seemed to still be in Yugi's ears.

The last one among the "Three Phantom Gods" is also the one that best represents Hayato [Ra's Winged Dragon]. The one who took it away was Miss Isis, who had always been gentle and gentle in the past. It is difficult to describe her in words in the game. What was the expression at that time?

Although Miss Isis's statement that "[Ra] is the most powerful among the three phantom gods and must be kept properly" does not make sense, at that time even Kaiba, who had a fanatical pursuit of the power of powerful cards, did not stop him. Isis.

"Crack!"

"Uhhhhhh-!!!"

A sudden sound of breaking glass outside the door interrupted their memories, followed immediately by a scream!

"This voice is Chicken-chan!" The game immediately identified the source of the voice as his grandfather Muto Sugoroku who had just left. He didn't have time to put away the gold cabinet and card set in his hand, so he picked it up and folded it. He picked up the duel plate and cards, grabbed his coat on the back of the chair, opened the door and ran out.

And in the corridor, following the bright moonlight projected into the house from the broken window, Yugi saw a strange guy wearing a hood making a hand knife gesture, and his grandfather Shuangroku Muto was pouring into the hooded man. He held him hostage in his arms!

"Chicken-chan!" Almost instantly, with a flash of light from [Millennium Building Blocks], Yami Yugi appeared instead of Omo Yugi and asked sternly, "Who are you, this guy!"

While asking, the action of the game was not slow at all. He threw out the card of [Elf Swordsman] with his hand. Under the influence of the dark power, the card spirit of [Elf Swordsman] directly entered the material form, flying and flying with the rotation of the card. The sharp sword slashed at the hooded man!
