The Legend of Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 276 Friendship Cup

"City" is the core city located in the south of the world, controlling the economic lifeline and order management in the south, but there are serious social class problems.

The city area is divided into several floating island-like "top floors", "middle floors" and "bottom floors".

The "top floor" is the residence of the "upper class" of the "city"'s rich and powerful class. They only account for 1% of the city's population, but control 99% of the wealth. Therefore, most of the buildings in the area are luxurious villas and gardens. building.Unauthorized people are not allowed to enter the area. The architectural style of the "top floors" is very contemporary, and the "top floors" are connected by a huge road network.

The "middle level" is the upper level of the "city".High-rise buildings stand in the center of the street, making people's lives more comfortable with the help of high-tech facilities, and it is the main living area for people above the middle class.In addition, arenas near the coast often hold D-round mounted duels.

The "lower floor" is where the lower class "commoners" live. It is at the bottom of the "city" and is also called the "satellite area." Most of the buildings are very dilapidated and separated from the main urban area by the sea.Each region is referred to by English letters.Compared with the central part of the city, most of the people living here are poor and must constantly struggle to survive. The residential areas for those with lower status are darker and more depressed, close to slum streets.In addition, in order to support the prosperity of the central area, the satellite area is equipped with factories and various facilities to process the waste discharged from the central area.Criminals are also sent here, so the crime rate in this area is very high, and the people here have become the main target group of the "public security police".In order to contain and monitor the "low-level" criminal groups, the "Public Security Bureau" has established shelters on some small islands.Many people in the city disparage the residents by calling them "scum."

Although the "upper class" discriminates against "civilians" very seriously, it also has the right to fair competition in the system, such as the "Friendship Cup" duel competition.

The "Friendship Cup" duel competition is a duel competition held by the "city" to promote the friendship between the "top floor" and the "satellite area" and to select the common "king" of both parties.

After the selection by the Vigilante Bureau, a group of powerful duelists were selected from the top ranks and civilians to issue invitation letters to conduct a trial competition with 16 people as the main group.

The winner can get a chance to duel with the "Original King", and the winner becomes the "New King".This is also an opportunity for the "civilian" to turn around, just like Jack Atlas, who was born in the commoner class, won the championship three years ago and has been winning consecutively, eventually becoming the "Duel King" and the commoner class proud.

The start of this year's Friendship Cup is not far away, and today is the eve exhibition exhibition held to warm up the Friendship Cup.

At this time, on the top floor, in a duel palace towering in the center of the city, more than 20 spectators had gathered. The atmosphere of the venue was extraordinarily warm because of the enthusiasm for the opening of the Friendship Cup.

Despite the grand scale, the security work is still meticulous, and the "top floor" is the most luxurious and luxurious area in the city.The elite public security police are the guards. If the guards in the urban and satellite areas intend to carry out search activities, they must register for formal procedures and obtain permission before they can be released.

At the same time, in the lounge of the exhibition contestants, apart from a receptionist, there was a teenager sitting there.

The young man has pale hair, and the outline of his face is delicate and prominent, but it presents a morbid paleness, transparently white, but it looks like it is molded by the eternal ice and snow on the distant mountains.

And in front of him, sat a very old man, too old to tell his age, wearing a crisp black suit, with a dark red handkerchief tucked in his jacket pocket, leaning on a cane, his eyes that looked cloudy and old But there was a faint flash of light, he stared at the young man in front of him, and slowly said: "I repeat, as the chief of the security maintenance bureau, I cannot disclose secrets in violation of regulations, but since you are Sakaki Yukatsu's younger brother, then I I will make an exception and give you a chance. If you can survive three rounds at the hands of our dueling king, Jack Atlas, in the eve of the exhibition match, I will go to the database of the Municipal Bureau to investigate this matter. , but, if you fail to do so, I will take back the card I gave you back then, and this is also a test of whether you have become a duelist worthy of that Stardust Dragon."

The young man remained silent, while the old man got up and left under the protection of the bodyguards, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly calmed down.

The boy sitting opposite him at this time is Sakaki Yuji, but why did he appear here?
The Tower of Hanoi incident let Sakaki Yuji know the whole story of the LOST incident that year, but he still couldn't recall the memory before the LOST incident.

He and Mr. M asked Hongshangan if he knew his origin. After all, it was Dr. Hongshang who abducted and kidnapped him back then.

However, with the reporting of the LOST incident, the original data related to this incident was destroyed by SOL Technology Company, and the backup data was protected by Ignis's algorithm program. In addition, there is probably no one in this world who knows the origins of the parties involved in the LOST incidents like Yuji Sakaki.

But Huangtian paid off, and after Hongshangbo also disappeared, Mr. M, with Hongshangan's permission, searched for information in the Hongshang family's old house and underground research room, and finally found some clues.

Mr. M found a cutout of an old newspaper in the address of the underground research room provided by Hong Shang'an. It reported an incident called "Zero Point Reversal" that happened in the "city".

According to the information found by Mr. M, the "Zero Reversal" incident was the failure of a research project of a non-polluting energy device developed by the "city" 17 years ago. As a result, an accident occurred, and the energy device exploded, causing an urban area to collapse. The severely damaged no-man's land was so badly damaged that it was difficult for residents to infiltrate it. Countless families were torn apart, leaving countless orphans and widows.

And in that newspaper, there was an area for photos of the victim, one of which was a photo of Sakaki Yuji when he was a child.

Mr. M deduced from this that Sakaki Yuji's past probably came from the "city".

And if you want to know his past, the only clue is to start with the "zero point reversal" incident, but for some reason, there are only a handful of information about this incident left on the Internet, and they are all irrelevant official statements.

The only people who could know the inside story of that incident were the top people in the "city". In order to retrieve his past, Sakaki Yuki had no choice but to find an old acquaintance of Sakaki Yukatsu, who is currently the security maintenance bureau of the "city". Commander - Rex Godwin.

After the graduation duel with Caesar, the Duel Academy began its semester break, and Yuki Sakaki decided to take advantage of this time to come to the "city" to investigate the matter.
