Chapter 87 My Heart and My Actions Are as Clear as a Mirror

After Bakura escaped, because Yami Yugi and Hayato were not in very good condition, the others did not pursue him.

It's okay to say that Hayato and Shada are just a little exhausted from using the elf power too much.

Shada's [Anka Chestnut Ball] was originally a new elf that had just awakened, but was forced to squander its power again and again due to the war situation. It was also the first time that Hayato used [La] alone without the support of props such as the [Millennium Wheel of Wisdom]. The power of the Winged Dragon], and it is not the mainstream slate in this era but in the form of cards. The conversion efficiency is too poor, so it is temporarily discontinued.

The biggest problem is Yami Yugi. In his battle with Bakura, his "soul" was reduced to zero in one breath. This was much more serious than having his basic score reduced to zero in a duel. Even if it is not different from a dark game in which even the soul will be wiped out by darkness if you lose, it is not that different.

However, the amazing thing is that with the arrival of several game players, the "soul" of Dark Game, which should have completely returned to zero, miraculously increased a little. Even Seth could not explain the reason for this incredible situation, let alone He actually couldn't see Yugi and the others right next to him, and even if Jonouchi was only a few centimeters away from his face, he didn't notice it at all.

"Huh, Pharaoh's life is not in danger, it's lucky." Sett stood up, and after checking the status of the dark game, he looked at Hayato beside him, "This time, it's really thanks to your existence, Hayato Kobayashi. "

After hearing Seth's words, Jonouchi put his hands on his hips and said with certainty: "Yoshi, I'm sure, this guy is definitely not the Kaiba guy."

"Idiot, didn't Hayato explain it to us just now? This is the memory world of three thousand years in the stone slabs. Maybe some people are very similar to some people in our memories, but they are not the same person. This one looks very similar. The priest of Seto Kaiba is called Seth." Kyoko said helplessly after hearing Jonouchi's words.

And Jonouchi also curled his lips and said: "It's just because Hayato said that this guy's name is Set that I find it strange. 'Set' and 'Seto' are not the same sound at all, and the one just now looks more tapir-like." Bakula is exactly the same as Liang, and the sound of 'Bakula' is exactly the same as 'Tapir Liang'."

"If it weren't for that, I'm pretty sure that Kaiba guy would never say thank you to anyone else, so this guy named 'Sett' can't be Seto Kaiba. I almost suspect that Kaiba and Hayato have teamed up to lie to us."

"Compared to that, our current state is more weird, right?" Honda's words attracted the attention of the two people. At this moment, Honda was reaching out to touch the horse carrying the fallen priest Shada, but found that he was reaching out. His hands couldn't touch anything at all, so they went straight through the body of the war horse, "Not only can Set, who looks like Seto Kaiba, not see us, we can't even touch anything, it's like ghosts." !”

Because Seth was checking Yami Yugi's situation just now and didn't get close to him, after hearing Honda's words, he thought for a moment and said, "Is it because we are in another world of my memory? And we are not like Hayato who was pulled into this world by Tapiliang through dark games."

"In this memory world of three thousand years ago, no one knows our existence, which means that we do not exist at all in this world. In this case, we can understand why others cannot see us or touch us. ”

Glancing at Yami Yugi on the ground worriedly, Yugi added, "The reason why the other Hayato and I can see us is probably because they have memories related to us."

It has to be said that one cannot generalize between people. They have also come to this memory world and encountered the same situation. The guesses given by the game cannot be said to be the same as those of a late-stage dragon cancer who is full of science except playing cards. The similarities can only be said to be completely unrelated.

When Jonouchi heard Yugi's words, he also looked at Hayato and said: "Speaking of which, it has just begun. Why has Hayato been sitting there without moving? Is he asleep? No wonder Seth, who looks the same as Kaiba, said Just say thank you."

With Shada asleep, Hayato motionless, and Yami Yugi unconscious again, Set, who couldn't see Yugi's presence except for the soldiers, would naturally think that he was the only one left here who was awake. , it becomes understandable to speak out what is in your heart without any secret.

However, Hayato did not fall asleep. The reason why he remained silent was because at this moment, he was sinking his spirit into the [Millennium Wheel of Wisdom].

The sun disappeared from the sky, replaced by the moonlight that was soft but unable to illuminate everything. But even so, a large dark cloud came to cover the only light, and everything in the small village was shrouded in darkness.

In this lightless night, a guest came to the small village. This was an era of war and chaos, but the people in the village knew that it was not easy for people living outside the country, so they still welcomed the cloaked guest into the village.

Then, the naughty boy was hiding in the closet waiting for his family to come find him. Everything in his sight was covered in blood.

I thought it was a wandering traveler, but after entering the village, the other party immediately killed the two guards at the head of the village, and used their blood to spread the barrier between the inside and outside, as if they were butchers. It is like closing the gate of the pig pen before putting the pigs to meat.

"For the continuation of the kingdom, the power of the [Millennium Artifact] is necessary. Everyone in the Thief Village, please sacrifice your life for the righteousness of the kingdom!" Perhaps it was to intimidate the villagers, or perhaps to convince himself that the cloaked man The butcher went on a killing spree among the villagers.

The villagers who fled in panic were killed one by one by the opponent with a sharp sword. The man moved his hands as if he was not killing the same kind of people, but just one after another, casually. Even if possible, the butcher would deliberately create wounds on the captured villagers first, instead of rushing to kill them with one blow, but letting them feel the pain and die in despair.

What can the young man do, go out to fight, and then be killed by the butcher's sword as easily as other resisting adults? All he could do was curl up and hide in the closet, looking at the bloody massacre outside the window through the gap in the closet door, while covering his mouth desperately with his hands, not daring to make a sound.

Are everyone in the village innocent? The young man knew that was not the case. Although it was just an ordinary village in the beginning, because it was close to the Valley of the Kings, where all the pharaohs of the past were buried, the village's main industry was the construction of pyramids and various tombs. It was not a wealthy life, but it was basically a decent life.

But after the new pharaoh ascended the throne, the man named King Akhnamkanon, I heard from the uncle in the village who liked to chat about state affairs, seemed to have moved the capital from Thebes to fight against the aristocratic forces of the old religion and carry out religious reforms. The capital was moved to the newly built Ekhtatun. As a result, his mausoleum was built to the east of the new capital instead of in the Valley of the Kings.

This has made everyone in the village unemployed, let alone maintaining the life without worries about food and clothing in the past. Since they are only good at construction but not good at farming, they cannot even afford basic food and clothing. Frightened about the future and forced to make a living, the adults in the village chose to commit the most serious crime in the kingdom - to steal the royal mausoleum that was just around the corner by awakening the tomb.

The former "Village of Craftsmen", Clay Elna, became completely infamous because one after another adults were captured by the Tomb Guards, and it became a "Village of Thieves" that everyone wanted to beat.

And the young man who grew up in this village naturally knew that if the adults who were caught didn't insist that he had nothing to do with the village to prevent his family from being implicated, according to the laws of the kingdom, the whole village would have been unforgivable. of sinners.

However, this shouldn't be such a punishment. Even if it is the law of the kingdom, there should be some people in the village who have never been exposed to tomb robbing like me to survive, even if it is slavery or prison, not like With such a bloody scene in front of him, the villagers he was familiar with died one after another in the massacre!

The village is not very big, with a total population of only a hundred people. The young man huddled in the closet with cold limbs, watching the cloaked butcher pull out the sword from the chest of the pregnant sister next door, and then stabbed her belly. Another sword was added, and even the life that had not yet been born was wiped out.

As if he thought that everyone in the village should have been killed, or that he had just gathered the necessary number of people, the butcher took off his hood, revealing a face that the boy had seen before. Before the current pharaoh moved the capital, the boy also went to the royal capital to join in the fun on the day he ascended the throne. The butcher who killed the entire village was a member of the royal family around the pharaoh at that time!

Was it the Pharaoh who gave the order to massacre the village? That must be the case!

The young man's heart was filled with fear, resentment and anger, as if he wanted to completely engrave the appearance of the person in front of him in his mind, watching the other person carve complicated patterns on the ground with a long sword stained scarlet with blood.

At the moment when the complex lines were completed, the river of blood flowing on the ground rushed toward the pattern as if being attracted, completely filling the depression on the ground. The despair, unwillingness, and resentment in the blood were filled with unique patterns. The method was refined, and a huge stone slab rose from the ground in the golden light that should have been sacred and bright, but now gave people darkness and despair.

There was a human-shaped protrusion on the stone slab. The uneducated boy did not recognize the image of a god, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the gold jewelry and decorations everywhere on the human-shaped figure.

The blood in the barrier on the ground surged toward the stone slabs and merged into the golden utensils. However, just before the utensils were completed, the royal family member who massacred the village immediately took down several of them, causing the Several props were not stained with blood.

The blood poured into the stone slab, giving the remaining three golden instruments the most powerful power. However, the incomplete state caused a certain being inside the stone slab to roar: "Akhnadi!"

The black energy rose from the stone slab and turned into a sharp claw to grab several golden utensils in the royal family's arms. However, the royal family had to move faster and take down the remaining three items from the stone slab first. The sharp claws composed of black energy dissipated invisible before attacking him.

After losing all the golden instruments, the being inside the stone slab seemed to have lost all its power and fell silent, slowly sinking into the ground. The magic circle that had swallowed the blood of nearly a hundred people also lost its light and disappeared after that. not see.

There were only corpses left on the ground, that of the royal family called "Akhna Emperor" who already held seven golden artifacts.

"Is this the [Millennium Artifact] that is recorded in the [Thousand-Year Magic Book] and has the power to achieve everything? It's so powerful, I can already feel the power in it!" The young man heard Akhnadi saying to himself, and turned a A golden eyeball was raised in front of his eyes, "You are the only one who can read the heart [Millennium Eye]. In order to prevent others from learning my secret, I must use you."

Aknadi, who easily massacred the entire village, was cruel to others and even more cruel to himself. Without any hesitation, he stuffed the third-to-last [Millennium Eye] taken out from his hand into his own eye socket, and put his Crush the left eye directly and replace it with this golden eye!

After a while, as if he had adapted to the power of the [Millennium Eye], Akhnadi's face showed an ecstatic expression, but after looking down at the corpses on the ground, he sighed and muttered to himself Said: "Ninety-nine lives were exchanged for the power of the [Millennium Artifact]. However, the sacrifice of these ninety-nine lives will be used to save nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine people. All for the continuation of the kingdom. !”

"My heart and actions are as clear as a clear mirror, and everything I do is righteous!"

As he spoke, Akhnadi picked up the torch used for lighting in the village and started setting fire to it without hesitation. He will bury this sin in ashes with fire.

In the village, the flames began to spread, and the heat engulfed everything. Aknadi watched for a long time and saw another house collapse in the village, and then left. However, he did not see a short figure wrapping his body with corpses, emerging from the sea of ​​fire. Escape!

The next moment, everything came to a standstill. Hayato, who had been standing beside the boy watching all this from the beginning, heard a voice ringing in his ear:

"This is the dark truth of the [Millennium Artifact]."

"This is the past of the kingdom you protect."

"Even if you see this truth, will you still stand on the side of this disgusting kingdom?"

Hayato glanced at the white-haired boy who was protecting himself with the corpse, and said coldly: "Oh, how did people die three thousand years ago, does it have anything to do with me? I don't care about those boring things, stop pretending. Bakura."

"No, Tapirang!"

Speaking of the animated version and the manga version, the gap between the King's Memories is so big that it seems like two works. For example, in the animated version, Bakura is the chess piece controlled by Tapiryo, while Tapiroshi is sitting in front of the chessboard. The overall situation, but in the comics, both Bakura and Tapiliang are in the memory world, and Tapiliang cannot control all of Bakura's actions.

In the comics, Bakura is a pure ancient person without the memory of Tapiryo, which makes him unable to see Yugi and others. In the animation, due to changes, Bakura has the memory of Tapiryo and can see Yugi and others. After that, he gets The good thing is that he got punched by Honda (乐
