Xia Di's arrival was just an interlude for everyone, and soon everyone forgot about it and never mentioned it again. But did he really not pay attention to it, or did he intentionally ignore it?
What Xia Di said about the handling of the [Millennium Artifact] is not the focus. The focus is on Atum itself. The only thing Xia Di said is right, that is, this era is not the era of Atum.
His era was in ancient Egypt three thousand years ago, and has disappeared in the past. Whether it is Mana, Simon, Shada, Seth, and Aknadi, they have all entered the underworld and are no longer in the world. Atum is the last The remnant of the party, there is no container that can carry him in this era.
Even in the game, because of the existence of [Millennium Building Blocks], the two of them coexist as one body and two souls. Maybe the two of them are satisfied with this situation now, but it can be expected that as the game continues to grow up, when he graduates, works, After getting married, the relationship between the two will become increasingly unstable.
After Xia Di mentioned this matter, both Yugi and Atum were very smart people and had thought of this. However, both of them remained silent now and did not talk about it. Naturally, others could only He deliberately ignored the matter and let the two of them think about it themselves.
However, someone did break this somewhat weird atmosphere. Around the corner where Xia Di disappeared, several staff members in uniforms walked casually. When they saw Hayato and his group gathered together, , couldn't help being stunned.
In order to steal the jewelry of Princess Nefertari of ancient Egypt three thousand years ago on display here, Axel O'Brien and Fannie Valentine used bribery to bribe the local gang responsible for selling tickets to the scenic spot, but They did not bribe the staff in the scenic area.
After all, there are too many staff in the scenic area and problems will inevitably arise. Unlike gangs, which can control their subordinates by buying off their leaders, there is no use in buying off the leaders of the staff. No matter where they are, even elementary school students can Learn the trick of "whistleblowing" from a teacher's perspective.
For these staff members, Axel chose to ask the gang members he bribed to create some noise to attract their attention and distract some staff members at key locations. It did not take too long, about ten minutes. It was completely enough for him.
As for the specific time it took, Axel did not miscalculate. He stole Princess Nefertari's jewelry from the guards and took it outside the museum faster than expected. Just wait until you leave the scenic area to complete the deal with Fannie Valentine.
But what he didn't expect was that Hayato and his group would suddenly appear from a hidden passage inexplicably. It was obvious that the map of the scenic spot that he stole and circulated among the staff of the scenic spot did not include this secret passage. Hayato and his team suddenly appeared and were overly powerful, using supernatural powers and dueling monsters to defeat him.
What's even more outrageous is that his employer, Fanny Valentine, died because of greed. Not to mention that Nefertari's jewelry was still in his hands, and even if he took it out, there was no employer who could deliver it. In addition, if you look for a buyer, although it is possible to find someone who offers a higher reward than Fannie Valentine, it will also add more trouble. If you don't get it right, you may be hacked.
If Axel is awake now, all of the above will definitely become his troubles. However, because he wasted a lot of time in the duel with Hayato, new troubles have appeared, and they are bigger than the previous ones. Trouble.
"Hey, who are you and why are you here?"
Because the staff usually come into contact with tourists from all over the world, these two Egyptians who noticed everyone speak English fairly fluently, at least not with a heavy accent - after all, it is the mainstream in Egypt today. One of the languages——asked to Hayato and his group.
Starting from this morning, they learned from their colleagues at the entrance that today's ticket sales were extremely difficult and not a single tourist came. Winter should be the peak tourist season in Egypt, and they didn't know that the gangs selling tickets were doing it again. What, but they are still getting a dead salary anyway, and it is none of their business whether they sell more or less tickets.
But the problem is that there are obviously no tourists buying tickets, so why did the two of them see such a large group of people suddenly appear in the scenic spot? Especially the 1.95 meter tall man standing inside seemed to give them an inexplicable sense of evil oppression, as if they had encountered a villain among villains.
Moreover, even in the scenic area, there are differences between completely open areas, restricted development areas and prohibited areas. The location where Hayato and his party are located is not a place where tourists can enter and exit, but is strictly controlled and prohibited. The area contains important cultural relics and it is impossible for tourists to enter!
One of them seemed to have noticed something when he was observing the motionless Hayato and the others. He shrank, but still suppressed his surprise, and poked his colleague in a subtle way, reminding him to look next to them. He was reminded. The man also glanced in that direction, only to see a deformed and scrapped gun.
Even from the angle the two of them were looking at, the black man lying on the ground looked like he had been beaten to death...the black man with mud on his body, and a gun on his waist!
Although the two of them had complained before when they were drinking together after get off work, the job in the scenic spot was rich in money, but also had many things to do and was very boring. I really hope that I can encounter more interesting and exciting things while working. But is this kind of stimulation a bit too much? !
Unlike a certain beacon of freedom, Egypt also has a total gun ban. Although I don’t know what the relationship between those standing and the fallen is, it is right to report this situation first!
Immediately, one of the staff members took out the assigned walkie-talkie and turned on the full channel and shouted: "There is an intruder in area code 114514, holding a gun. Security personnel No. 1919 and No. 810 report!"
"Huh!? That, we, not, bad!" Although the scumbag student in the city couldn't hear what the two staff members said, he could still tell that they were communicating with other people, and he quickly used He said with his poor English vocabulary.
However, Jonouchi's "persuasion" skills were obviously not very good. He could not dispel the alertness of the staff with just three words. On the contrary, it was his step forward that made them even more nervous.
Blocking the colleague who was using the walkie-talkie behind him, another staff member took out a baton he carried with him and said to Jonouchi: "Just stand there and don't take another step closer to us!"
"If you move again, someone will die!"
When Hayato heard these two people speak, he felt inexplicably familiar, as if he had heard each other's voices somewhere before. After carefully looking at their appearance, he suddenly realized that these two people were the same as what he remembered. When trying to infiltrate the palace in this world, the two guards who were defeated were exactly the same.
"Hoho, you are obviously aware of the crisis here, right? You know that leaking information in front of me, Hayato Kobayashi, is fatal, but you can still muster the courage to face me, Hayato Kobayashi?" Hayato put his hands on his hips and ignored the other party's warning. He stepped forward and approached with an evil smile on his face, "Just rely on the stick in your hand?"
Obviously Hayato had no weapons in his hands, but when he saw him approaching, the staff member holding the baton felt an inexplicable phantom pain, as if he had been beaten by him.
"Uh, I mean I'm going to die..." Subconsciously, he took a step back.
"Huh? What are you afraid of?" However, the colleagues behind him did not understand what was going on, and warned Hayato and the others, "Although I don't know who you are, since you broke in here with a gun, Then he is definitely not a good person. There are many valuable cultural relics kept here. Even if we are killed by you, we will never let you take away the things easily!"
"Please wait a moment, sir." Bekas quickly stopped Hayato, who was not looking like a good person, from continuing to negotiate with the security personnel. He took a step forward on his behalf, took out a business card from his arms and spoke in a rare fluent voice. English said, "My name is Becas J. Crawford, the president of the International Illusion Society. If you have heard of 'Duel Monsters', you should know me, right?"
"Please don't be so nervous. We are just tourists who got here by mistake. We are not dangerous suspicious persons."
"Becas? The father of duel monsters?" The security guard was also stunned. He stretched out his hand and took the business card handed out by Becas. He looked at the floating words on the business card made of pure gold by Becas, who was not short of money at all. Withered, it was Becas's name written on it.
Even though he had only heard Becas's name and had never seen the other person's face, the security guard somewhat believed Becas's identity after accepting the business card. Although a simple business card cannot completely prove the authenticity of Becas's identity, Becas's sincere words are still very convincing and are by no means worth gold.
But just when a few people thought they had managed to calm down the two security guards, the man who accepted the business card raised his hand, pointed to the suitcase that the previous people had placed on the ground, and said, "If it's a famous person, I can believe what Becas, the father of Duel Monsters, said, I believe you 100% now."
"But what is in that box over there, medicines? Guns? Or important cultural relics stolen from here? I am now 100% convinced that you are not suspicious, but that is not enough. Please open that box and prove it to me. Let me trust you 101% more."
Hearing this, the hearts of several people in Yugi and the city trembled. Although they were indeed innocent, and the only thing they did wrong was to evade the ticket, there was only one box that could not be opened. It was the box that Fanny Valentine hired Axel O'Brien to steal. Nefertari’s jewelry came out!
If you open the box and let the other party see the contents inside, even if it is not done by a few people, they will have to bear the blame. After all, it is absolutely impossible for the other party to believe that "an American hired a black man on the ground to steal things, but that Americans have just evaporated out of thin air”!
Why did you just notice that box!
"Huh? Are you hesitating? Hesitating to open that box? So what is in that box? Please open it." The security guard frowned and said, "Or are you deceiving us with your words just now? "
Hearing this, Hayato talked for a while and said: "My heart and my actions are as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is righteous." As he spoke, he took out the [Millennium Scepter] from behind and gave it to the two people in front of him. A modern Egyptian comes with a little shock of ancient Egypt.
The result is still the same in the end. We still have to use the [Millennium Scepter] to brainwash and hypnotize. It is obvious that Hayato is a pure lover of the party, so he really doesn't want to do anything.
But just when the [Thousand-Year Scepter] was halfway out, Malik stretched out his hand to hold down Hayato. Facing Hayato's confused eyes, Malik said calmly: "It doesn't matter, I will take action."
"I originally wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person, but what I got was repeated questioning and suspicion." While approaching the two security personnel, Malik casually took out a book of ID cards, "I won't pretend anymore, I'll show my cards." Now, I’m from the Yinxiudar family and I’m showing off my cards.”
"Didn't you just tell us that you are not Yin Xiudar's person? You changed your mind too quickly!" Jonouchi complained mercilessly, "And even if you are Yin Xiudar, what do these things have to do with ordinary people? "
Honda also echoed: "That's right, is it possible that if you give us a last name, you can make them really ignore us?"
Then, the two of them saw the two security personnel who had been guarding everyone just now changed their faces after seeing the name on the ID in Malik's hand. The man holding the baton quickly put away the baton, and the other man also quickly faced The intercom said, "The situation is cleared and everything is normal. He is a big shot of Yin Xiudal."
"Huh? Why?" Jonouchi looked at Malik who was taking back his ID, and asked in Japanese that several security personnel could not understand, "Why are they so afraid when they hear 'Yin Xiudar'?"
Malik shrugged: "I thought you should know that although the staff here are government-employed, the deterrent power of their bosses to them is far less terrifying than the gang forces that can be seen everywhere."
"And unfortunately, although they advocate escaping from the world, the tomb-guarding clan Yin Xiudar can be regarded as the largest gang in Egypt."
Hayato looked at the ID in Malik's hand strangely: "But what's going on with that ID? Haven't you not been released from the status of a wanted criminal?"
"This," Malik shook the ID book in his hand proudly, "I went to the Tomb Guard Clan and got it. It is my father's old ID. When he was young, he looked like me. It’s still quite similar.”
"You actually know how to sneak around? Malik, you have turned into such a bad boy. I'm really disappointed."
"Brother-in-law, why don't you stop taking other people's decks first?"
