Chapter 137: Encounter with T0 Xiaomi (Part )

[Towards Bluewater Apartments]

A maid will pick you up.

"How can a maid handle this situation?" Langley screamed in despair.

Of course she knew there was a maid in the apartment, and she had met her several times. She was a blonde girl, kind and lovely.

"Now we have to fight zombies."

"Cuteness is useless!"

You can always trust Xier

The voice in my head uttered a simple sentence, severing the connection with my consciousness.

"Boss—" Langley took a deep breath and looked around at the zombies, the Shadow Beasts, and the Shadow Falcon in the sky.

There were even dozens of armed barbarians, living barbarians, who were obviously very scared, but they approached step by step, muttering: "Just kill her!"

The bounty for Langley Dungeon is: 18.5 million gold points.

If we can get this money, it will be enough for the residents of a community to use for ten years.

"Mix the wastelanders and zombies together."

The puppeteer is still so dirty!
Langley pursed his lips and looked around, but couldn't find the person who was pulling the strings.

The person holding the strings is flying at an altitude of ten thousand meters.

Department 13 of Shen, third underground floor, codenamed "Area E-".

This is where the Soul Judicial Bureau is responsible for storing and destroying corpses. Two staff members in white protective suits are busy. One is holding a recording board, looking down to check the corpse numbers and destruction records, while the other is mechanically pushing the corpses into the crematorium.

The roar of the crematorium echoed in the empty room.

"This batch is finally processed." The recorder breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his sore wrist.

"Don't be too happy," another man said with a wry smile, glancing at the communication screen on the wall. "I just received a notice that the case of the 18-member gang has been closed. The bodies must be destroyed immediately."

"And..." The recorder sighed, his face full of fatigue.

At this moment, the heavy metal door was pushed open with a click.

Yimi, wearing a white coat, walked in. She raised her hand to show her ID, a faint smile on her lips: "I'm here to take over the job, you can rest now."

"Oh—" The two staff members were relieved and couldn't wait to hand over the clipboard. "Thank you so much! These bodies are in your hands!"

Yimi took the clipboard and nodded slightly: "Thank you for your hard work. Go back and rest early."

The two thanked him repeatedly, quickly took off their protective suits, and quickly left Area E-13.

The room fell silent again, with only the low hum of the crematorium remaining.

Yimi walked to the filing cabinet, and his slender fingers gently stroked the rows of labels, finally stopping on the file of "Eighteen Black Car Gangs".

"Closing the case early must be a crime."

"let me see."

She pulled out the file, flipped it open and glanced at it, then walked to the corresponding body cabinet and opened the door.

Eighteen bodies were neatly arranged in a freezer. Their faces were pale and stiff. They had been dead for less than 48 hours, and the faint memories stored in their brains could still be read.

Yimi's gaze lingered on the corpses for a moment, then she raised her hand. Hair-thin purple shadows streamed from her fingertips, winding their way across the corpses, precisely burrowing into the back of their necks. The moment the shadows touched the corpses, complex purple lines appeared beneath their skin.

Yimi closed his eyes, and his consciousness followed the shadow into the depths of the corpse's memory.

A fragmented picture emerged in her mind, like a torn film, piecemeal piecing together the last moments of the gangster's life.

The first half is a boring car chase scene where they are intercepting a small car.

After intercepting and knocking over the car, the leader dragged out a numbered civilian, first punching and kicking him, and then shot at several other people in succession.

Normally, a person who is shot will linger for a few minutes and die slowly in pain.

Then, the gang discovered the only girl in the car and planned to drag her out and rape her.

This is something that ordinary people cannot tolerate.

The girl was still struggling after being shot and seemed to retain some consciousness. The leader of the gang raised his hand and fired again.

"Bam—"

The picture suddenly stopped, and a chilling whisper was heard.

"Ah~la."

In the memory scene, Bai Zhi's figure quietly appeared. She held the [Memory Lens] in both hands, with an innocent smile on her face, and whispered softly: "It's very private down there, it's impossible to peek."

Yimi felt a chill on his neck.

The white paper finger twisted slightly, and the [memory lens] made a "click" sound, like the crisp sound of a neck being broken.

The purple shadow line broke instantly, and the memory scene came to an abrupt end.

"Tsk." Yimi frowned slightly and made a dissatisfied sound.

Her consciousness was forced to withdraw from the memory of the corpse, and the purple light at her fingertips dimmed.

Spectators, do not peek.

The twelve hour hands each have their own plans.

"You won't let me see?" Yimi whispered to himself, with a meaningful smile on his face, "Then I want to see it anyway."

However, before investigating this strange case, she had another important thing to do.

She turned and walked towards a metal cabinet in the corner of the room. After entering the password, the cabinet door slowly opened. Inside was an exquisite helmet with complex circuits engraved on the surface. It was the terminal device connecting to the metaverse.

All over the world, he was responsible for assassinating, investigating and soul-searching thousands of Yimi while wearing a helmet.

【Connection Start】

【Xiaomi 0425, welcome back】

"1067 years."

"The technology of the new era is really amazing."

Metaverse time, noon, 14:25 pm.

Li Guanqi won his 16th consecutive Grandmaster victory, jumping directly to 645th place in the rankings, just 15 wins away from the top. The barrage of comments was constantly exploding, with climaxes constantly appearing.

"Host, can you take a break? My heart is hurting. It's been so intense!"

"It's too intense! The speed of the score increase is ridiculous. I can't keep up!"

"It's like a dream. Yesterday I was bronze and silver, and now I've jumped to over 600 in the blink of an eye."

"By the way, why didn't we encounter [Proliferated G] later? It felt like the opponent's strength suddenly dropped a lot."

"Indeed, the pressure from those two consecutive Gs from Red Middle Brother wasn't as great in the later games." Li Guanqi glanced at the comments and frowned slightly. When he first entered the Grand Master tier, he encountered a series of players who were bad at their hands. He thought this was the norm at Grand Master, and that the level of intensity was expected.

But now it seems that is not the case.

The rating of the Chronicle alone is very low, most of them are B, with only three B+, and only 9 points were earned, and the first indicator was charged to 56.65%.

Key hand traps like [Proliferating G] and [Gray Flowing Beauty] are only in the hands of a very small number of people, and these opponents who should have appeared frequently suddenly disappeared from his matching pool.

He switched screens, opened the leaderboards, and quickly noticed something unusual. An ID he'd been following—[Whiteboard]—had previously ranked higher than [Red Middle], but hadn't played a single match in the past two hours. His win streak remained the same, but his ranking was nearly dropping out of the top 1,000.

"Something's wrong..." Li Guanqi whispered to himself.

At this level, it's impossible for top players to stop. If they do, it can only mean one thing: they're in trouble in the real world.

He quickly browsed the rankings and found that although the ID of the Julingsi still accounted for a large proportion, the personnel ranking was slowly declining. It was obvious that they were being held back by something and unable to go online.

"The stakes are too high, have they resorted to offline tactics..." Li Guanqi's eyes grew serious.

He leaned back in his chair and took a deep breath. Fortunately, Xier said the apartment was safe.

Li Guanqi glanced at the number of people online. Since he was on the list, the number of online people and followers has continued to rise, and the number of online people has reached seven million.

It has indeed not been an easy journey.

There are still 33 consecutive wins left to reach the top of the undefeated league.

"Go, go, go." Li Guanqi let out a light breath and clicked the match button again. The audience's nerves, which had just relaxed for a while, tensed up again.

【唔——】

[Matching successful]

The duel field was spread out, and it was a common sky field, with sunshine, white clouds, and strong winds.

Li Guanqi squinted his eyes to avoid the wind and had not yet seen his opponent clearly.

A playful voice came from the other side: "Finally a match."

Li Guanqi frowned and looked straight ahead.

The person who spoke was a woman in a white coat, who looked like a researcher or a doctor. She was very polite and her ID was - [Xiaomi0425].

Li Guanqi was sure that it was the first time he saw her, but her smile made him feel familiar.

"Are you looking for me?" Li Guanqi asked in a deep voice.

Xiaomi 0425 did not respond and silently started the duel.

At the same time, the same scene was happening in other duel arenas.

Victoria stood in the center of the field, her gaze as sharp as a knife, staring coldly at [Xiaomi 8321] across from her, her voice icy and piercing: "You bastard."

"You're just sneaking around and playing tricks, but you don't dare to settle the outcome fairly in a duel?"

"Fair... hehe..." Xiaomi 8321 suddenly laughed softly when he heard this, and gradually became crazy, "Fair... hahaha..."

She laughed so hard, as if she had heard the funniest thing in the world, and her hoarse voice was creepy.

"Ten thousand cards from the Soul Confinement Division."

"Totally managing 6,000 cards."

"You said a fair duel..." She stopped laughing, a cold glint in her eyes, "Let's wait until Lord Wangshou unlocks the [Gray Flowing Beauty], [Proliferation G], and [Pearl Tear Lament Tribe] patterns, then we can talk about a fair duel."

"Is that your excuse?" In the third duel arena, Sanjie Ge, wearing a fish fin ornament and a blue skirt, looked at Xiaomi 1246 with disdain. "You forgot so quickly?"

"When the King Hand is fighting against the Butcher, the entire card pool is open, and all hand pits and decks can be used."

"She made it very clear."

"Let you pick one you're good at."

A sarcastic smile appeared on her lips. "Humph, you guys still lost miserably."

"Why, you don't dare to challenge me anymore?"

Xiaomi 1246 sneered, "She won't be able to hold on for much longer."

After that, both sides started fighting.

Li Guanqi, Victoria, and Sanjiege faced Xiaomi 0425, Xiaomi 8321, and Xiaomi 1246 at the same time.

"Duel!" (X6)

[End of ceremony time]

【Attack first】

[Red Square] ([Blue Square])
【The duel begins】

Coincidentally, Li Guanqi, Victoria, and Sanjiege all got the first attack at the same time.

The three Xiaomis were not at all panicked, but instead smiled meaningfully.

"My turn." Li Guanqi scanned his hand, looked up at his opponent, picked out a card and slapped it, "Summon, [Sacrifice Demon Lotus], Liberate [Demon Lotus], and Special Summon a [Hubel] monster from your deck."

At the same time, calls were heard from the other two venues.

Victoria confidently tapped a card, her voice clear and powerful: "Summon, [Maris <Pawn> Dormouse]!"

"Activate the effect of [Dormouse] to banish the Deck's [White Rabbit]. Pay 300 Life Points and activate the effect of [White Rabbit] to Special Summon this card."

Sanjiege flipped open a card in her hand and said calmly, "Activate the effect of [Pearl Tear Lament Tribe: Siren Mermaid] to Special Summon this card. Select 1 monster from your hand and send it to the Graveyard. After that, send the top 3 cards from your Deck to the Graveyard."

Just as the three of them finished their operation, the three Xiaomis simultaneously revealed ghostly smiles. Their movements were in perfect unison as they gently flipped open a card.

"Activate the effect of [Star Cannoner: Celestial Water Spirit]!" (x3)

"Discard this card, use monsters from your hand and on the field as materials, and Fusion Summon a Dragon-Type/Mage-Type Fusion Monster."

"Dragon clan, magician clan" Li Guanqi, Victoria, and Sanjiege paused for a moment, feeling an ominous premonition.

"Hahaha, long time no see everyone." A cold gleam flashed in the three Xiaomi's eyes, and the corners of their mouths raised with sarcasm, "I'm sending my [Shadow Lizard] and [Shadow Wing Venti] to the graveyard as materials."

"Fusion Summon!"

"Recall it."

"This is... the greatest magician in history!"

"Come on!"

"Shadow-Midrash!"

In an instant, countless purple shadows burst out from the void, winding and entwining in the air like poisonous snakes, weaving into a huge birdcage, trapping everyone inside and emitting a suffocating feeling of oppression.

In the sky, a figure slowly emerged. She was wearing purple clothes and had green hair. Her posture was elegant and cold, and she looked down indifferently.

[Divine Shadow Midrash]!
"T0 Xiaomi" Li Guanqi was shocked.
