Traveling in reverse through the Yu-Gi-Oh! world with the MD system

"Damn it! Could it be that Akari wasn't possessed by [No.] Card? Then who was it?"

However, now is not the time to think about these things. The most important thing is to stop the car in time and rescue Akari.

So, Soreva immediately ran to the black car he had borrowed from Xinyuan, got in, started the engine, and followed Mingli's red sports car all the way.

However, after getting into the car, Soleva still called Kaito and asked for backup:

"Kaito! I've caught up with the car of the [No.] card holder you mentioned, but something seems off!"

"What's wrong?"

"The person in that car doesn't seem to be possessed by the [No.] card. Instead, she's calling for help saying the car is out of control. I suspect the real owner of [No.] is someone else! So, could you please help pause time?"

However, silence soon fell on Kaito's side. Just as Soreva sighed, thinking that Kaito couldn't help either, he suddenly heard Kaito's voice ring out again from the phone:

"Okay, I understand. Orbit Seven and I have caught up with you. That black car is yours, right? Wait a minute, open the window, I need to land in your car."

"it is good!"

Having received a response from Kaito, Soleva immediately rolled down the passenger and rear window, allowing air to flow freely into the car.

Soon, a heavy thud was heard on the roof of the car. Then, Kaito grabbed the window frame, climbed into the car, and sat in the passenger seat.

Meanwhile, Orbit 7, after shouting "Lord Kaito, wait for me!", climbed into the back seat.

However, Kaito's first words upon entering were:

"Sorry, I didn't calculate the force properly when I landed, and it made a big dent in your car roof."

Then, Kaito saw Soleva give him a thumbs up:

"It's alright. I borrowed the car from Xinyuan. If it's damaged, Mr. Xinyuan can take it for repair."

After Kaito nodded silently, Soreva spoke again.

"Alright, Kaito, you can activate time stop now."

However, Kaito's answer stunned him for a moment:

"Time stop has already been activated. You can look out the window; apart from you and that red car, all the other cars are completely stopped."

After a moment of surprise, Soreva realized that it seemed to be true, as Kaito had said, that all the other cars were now stopped on the road, not moving at all, and even the red light at the intersection ahead had stopped working.

However, his attention had been focused on the chase with Akari's red sports car, so he only realized what was happening after Kaito reminded him.

"Great! The cars stopped at the red light ahead have completely blocked the road! This means the car has nowhere to escape!"

As he excitedly uttered these words, Soreva still harbored a worry in his heart:

This car... wouldn't it crash into another car just to get away?

Fortunately, the car noticed the situation and braked suddenly to a stop. But just as it was about to turn and escape, the sedan driven by Soreva blocked its escape route, forcing it to stop.

Seeing that the car had finally stopped moving, Soreva quickly ran out of the car and rushed to the driver's side, shouting to Akari, who was sitting in the driver's seat with a terrified expression:

"Hey! Akari, how are you doing now!"

However, Akari didn't respond at all, and remained unmoved by Soreva's questions. Kaito, who had also gotten out of the car and witnessed this scene, couldn't help but frown.

"She's affected by the time stop, so it seems she's not the host of [No.] card. But then, who is the host of [No.] card? And how did he start this car?"

"Anyway, let's not worry about that for now and get Akari out first."

After trying to open the car door by pulling the door handle and finding that the door wouldn't open, Soreva immediately reached into the open window to manually unlock the door.

However, just as his fingers unlocked the car door, the lock closed again in the next second.

"This is……"

Just as Soreva was wondering what was going on, the car's stereo suddenly lit up, emitting a series of electronic sounds:

"Do you want to save people?"

"Whoa! Who are you? Were you the one who took control of this car just now?"

In response to Soreva's questioning, the car stereo light flickered and then resumed playing sound:

"I was indeed in control of this car just now, but I am not a human being. In your terms, I should be considered an intelligent AI, or rather, an electronic life form."

"Uh...so even intelligent AI can be possessed by [No.] cards?"

Just as Soreva frowned and uttered this complaint, he received a protest from Orbit 7 behind him:

"What do you mean by 'intelligent AI'?! Apologize to me right now!"

However, Kaito easily silenced Track 7's protest. Kaito then stepped forward and spoke into the glowing car stereo:

"Since you can operate normally in this time-stopped realm, you must be the host of [No.] card, right? Well then, I'll give you two paths."

"One option is for you to obediently hand over this [No.] card; the other is to duel us. If we win the duel, we'll forcibly take your [No.] card. The choice is yours!"

"So that's how it is. You came here for this card? But I refuse!"

The electronic voice's righteous and firm refusal startled both Soleva and Kaito. In their experience and impressions, apart from a very small number of people, most people controlled by [No.] Cards would become evil and warlike.

These people will almost never refuse a duel if someone asks them to.

This is why Soreva, Kaito, Yuma, and even the previous Sho, were able to so easily obtain [No.] cards through duels.

However, this intelligent AI today seems to possess reason and has not chosen to fight back.

"You seem quite calm to refuse a duel."

Faced with Soreva's praise, after a long silence, a wry, almost helpless laugh suddenly came from the car stereo:

"No, the card inside me is actually urging me to duel you. If I were in normal condition, I might have accepted your challenge. However, my program is currently trapped in this car, making it impossible for me to duel you."

That's why I refused.

Chapter 320 Possession Track Seven, No. 89

"In other words, if we want to retrieve this [No.] card now, our first task is to extract its program from this vehicle..."

At this point, Soleva couldn't help but exchange a glance with Kaito beside him, and said with a helpless expression,

"I'm sorry, I had other business to attend to today, and I didn't bring anything that could hold data."

Kaito nodded in agreement.

“I understand, this is the first time I’ve seen such a… peculiar [No.] holder. However, if it’s for storing data…”

After thinking for a moment, Kaito looked at Orbit 7.

"Track Seven, do your storage modules have enough space for data storage?"

Faced with Kaito's question, Orbit Seven could raise his hand and give an answer almost without thinking:

"No problem, Kaito-sama, leave it to me!"

As it spoke, the head of Orbit 7 began to deform, extending a long data cable that connected it to the car's audio system. While the data was still being transmitted, Soleva took the opportunity to chat with the intelligent AI:

"By the way, where did you come from, AI? And why are you trapped in this car?"

After a brief silence, the car stereo's electronic voice began to play:

"To be precise, I wasn't an AI at first; I was just a program. But after the arrival of that [No.] card you mentioned, I gained sentience and learned to think."

Unfortunately, as I grew up, the container originally used to store me, called a cell phone, could no longer hold me. Therefore, I needed to find a completely new medium.

"And then you got into the car?"

"Yes."

Faced with Sorevati's embarrassing moment, the AI ​​made no attempt to hide it, readily admitting it, though a hint of regret lingered in its tone.

"However, after I had completely transferred the data into the car, I realized that this was not a good place to store my data."

However, just as I was about to return to my phone, the data connection was lost, and I was trapped in the car.

"You really are unlucky."

After making a joke about the AI, Soreva leaned against the car door and continued asking,

"So, you took control of the car so that Akari could reconnect the data to the car and let you get back to your phone? But you could have just used the car stereo, couldn't you? You could have just told her that, right?"

Faced with Soreva's matter-of-fact question, the AI's tone carried a hint of helplessness:

"I did do that, but the sudden sound from the car stereo seemed to startle her so much that she couldn't talk to me properly and even made serious mistakes while driving."

So, I only managed to regain control of the car because I had no other choice. Later, I wanted to wait until she calmed down before talking to her, but you all arrived before she could.

"Ok."

Helplessly rubbing his forehead, it was at that moment that Soreva heard the last sound coming from the car stereo:

"The data transfer is complete, but..."

Immediately afterwards, the sound continued to emanate from Orbit 7's body, and the red light in its eyes shone even brighter at this moment.

"From this day forward, I am free!"

"This voice is completely different from that rational guy just now. Now, should I call you that intelligent AI, or that [No.] card?"

The voice immediately responded to Soreva as he turned around:

"Of course I am [No.] Card! Remember my name well! I am, [No. 89 Computer Beast System Destroyer]!"

"Yes, yes, I know."

Facing the [Cybermon System Destroyer] who was controlling the body of Orbit 7 and striking a pose that seemed to exude power, Soleva clapped dryly, gave a perfunctory reply, and then unfolded the Tyrannosaurus D panel on his wrist.

"However, no matter what, you're still [No.] card, right? So, let's decide your fate with a duel!"

"Of course, no problem! But..."

After a brief pause, Soleva detected a hint of conspiracy in its tone. However, this could also be considered an overt scheme, since regardless of its demands, Soleva and the others had to accept them in order to retrieve the [No.] card.

"Since the purpose is to compete for me, then I should decide the form of the duel!"

Immediately, Orbit 7's head split open, and the flat plate that Soreva and Kaito both recognized so well reappeared before their eyes.

Then, the tablet screen lit up, and in front of the two people, the screen was divided into two areas. One area looked like an unassembled deck, with only three effect monsters, one spell card, and one Xyz monster; while the other area had only an empty search bar.

"This is……"

In response to their questions, the voice once again emanated from within Orbit Seven:
