[Digimon 06] Purple

Ever since the duel between Uto and HIROYA, Yugo's heart has been hanging in a tense position.Every time it was HIROYA's turn to attack, he would stare at Uto's health bar, seeing that the color bar that symbolized the life value was "swiped" and a large piece was cut off, and finally stopped at a precarious position .At this time, on the one hand, he will be thankful that Yudou was not instantly killed by the opponent in this round, and on the other hand, he will inevitably worry about how Udou will fight back in such a passive situation... The whole process is full of fear, and there is no time for him to relax .

It's just that every time Xionggo glanced at Yuto from the corner of his eye, he couldn't find the slightest emotional fluctuation from his expression, as if the situation of teetering on the edge of "death" every round had nothing to do with him, Xionggo even I wonder if others have grafted all the emotional factors that cause tension to myself, so that even though he is sitting in the eyes of all directions, he can still carefully calculate the data and continue to form troops, while he can only stay on the sidelines From time to time there was an urgent urge to jump in the crowd.

Seeing HIROYA throw out another big killer that ordinary players can't match, Xionggo's heart jumped into his throat in a blink of an eye.This time, his eyes were firmly glued to Yudou's fingers picking cards, for fear of missing any of his detailed actions.Just at such a critical moment, someone patted him ignorantly, "... Kojima-kun?"

Xiongwu turned his shoulders impatiently and shook the other party away, "I'll talk about it later!"

He tried to turn his distracted attention back to Youdou, but the person behind him suddenly laughed softly, "Don't worry, Mr. Youdou won't lose."

The gentle voice with a smile easily overwhelmed the strong pop music that filled the room, and fell into Xiongwu's ears clearly.And what he said made Xionggo turn his head suddenly, "Why, why..." He didn't want the last syllable to be completely annihilated in Xionggo's throat after seeing the speaker clearly.

His lips trembled irregularly for a while, and finally he stammered out a few intermittent pronunciations, "Tian, ​​Amano senior, senior, you, why are you here?"

The smile on the young man's face remained unchanged, "It's very lively here, isn't it?" He looked through the crowd, unlike other people who raised their heads and focused on the live broadcast on the huge LCD screen, but looked down. On the pair of opponents sitting at either end of the machine.

Yugo couldn't wake up from the fact that "Yu Amano suddenly fell from the sky to be beside him" for a while, until the surrounding audience gave out a burst of applause again - for him, this was also a reminder signal - he realized that Youdou, whose health bar had been teetering on the edge until now, once again missed failure.

Heaving a sigh of relief for a while, Xionggo secretly glanced at Yu who was standing side by side with him watching the game from the corner of his eye. Anyone who has foreseen the final result of this game more in advance.

"Senior Amano said just now that Yuto will not lose, right?" Yugo said hesitantly.

"Yes." He got Yuu's calm answer.

"Senior... why are you so sure?" Xionggo asked hesitantly.He also hoped that he could have complete trust in Yuto as firmly as Amano-senpai.However, various factors stacked in reality inevitably shake him.

"Kojima-kun, are you nervous now?" Yuu didn't directly answer Yugo's question, but asked a seemingly irrelevant question, "So, do you know who is the most nervous person in this room right now?" Who is it?"

There was still that faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and he seemed to be looking at a certain direction in the field gently, "At the beginning of the game, he was nervous and confused himself, which means that he has already lost half of it."

Very strange.

Taking advantage of the gap between drawing cards, Youdou cast his gaze to the opposite side calmly.Half of his face was covered by the square screen, and HIROYA stared at the screen with gloomy eyes.The side of the wrist rested on the table, and the fingertips kept tapping on the table anxiously.

It was really strange.

For today's inevitable duel, Youdou thinks he has done a lot of homework.In addition to adapting to the card battle game as soon as possible, he has watched almost every game that HIROYA participated in, so Yuto thinks that he can be said to understand the card playing habits of the boy in front of him.

Unlike the spectacle king who likes to send out big moves directly at the beginning of the duel, HIROYA prefers a step-by-step approach.He will not show his hole card like the opponent at the beginning of the game, but will tentatively release a card with a relatively middle attack number, and then gradually add his own attack value according to the opponent's deck.It's as if he's dealing with drama, and when his opponent is cornered, that's when he wins with the most powerful rare card.

But today's HIROYA's game style is more similar to yesterday's glasses king.Since the beginning of the duel, he has continuously sent powerful attack cards to the battle platform, and the ferocious attack momentum will inevitably make the onlookers feel timid.

——I don’t know if he changed his tactics because he mistakenly took it for granted, thinking that as long as he can defeat the opponent in this virtual arena, then his secret of snatching other people’s cards with the help of Digimon can be buried forever, and will never be known to others .

It's a pity that the more anxious he is, the more he runs counter to the victory that seems to be at his fingertips.

Pay attention to returning to the screen in front of you, Youdou calmly picked out a card from his deck, and pressed it on the magnetic card reading position.

The computer read the information hidden in the magnetic strip, so that the marine life that was only active on the card surface suddenly appeared on the left side of the game screen holding a weapon—the direction where Youdou was.After a brief data comparison again, the program concluded that the cards selected by the ghost master suppressed HIROYA's race, which led to the halving of the attack power of HIROYA's cards, while the remaining data easily It is simply written off by the defense value of the card itself.

Yes.This set of game cards not only has the value of attack power, but also defense power, speed, race, capacity, and different unique skills of each monster... Different cards have different characteristics. If the players combine properly, use low-level cards to resist high-level cards. The card's attack is not whimsical.

In addition, the rules of this set of game cards contain such a content: In the same game, the same card can only be used once.This means that even if you have the most powerful card, if the attack fails, it is equivalent to nothing.

The reason why Uto felt troubled by HIROYA's method of going from weak to strong is because as the game progresses, the number of cards in his hand decreases, and the way to deal with them will also decrease.If you encounter situations such as "the cards used in the previous round must play a vital role in the subsequent situation" or "the remaining cards in the second half cannot resolve the opponent's powerful attack at all" and so on. If he lost this duel, everything he had done before would be completely meaningless.

But today HIROYA himself lost his position at the beginning of the game, allowing Uto to have some leeway to see his moves.And the rule of one-time use of cards in the game made this knight, who can only rely on the brutal attack power of rare cards to win the victory, remove his precious armor with his own hands, and gradually expose his fragile and tiny essence under the light of day.

finally--

"Look, look at my card." At the same time he put the cards on the table, only HIROYA knew that there was a drop of cold sweat running down his spine, "Sushi card!"

This is his last trump card.

In this set of game cards based on the ocean, the symbol of the "Sushi Card" card, as the name suggests, is to make these fierce and warlike marine creatures a delicacy for others: the attack value of the characters on the opponent's field is all cleared.

When he saw HIROYA playing this card, Xionggo couldn't help but exclaimed, "This guy is really thick-skinned," he explained to Yu through gritted teeth, "Senior Yu, you don't know, it was because of this card that he became famous before. Lost to the [-]th ranked guy with glasses!"

"Really?" You still had that relaxed expression, "It's not over yet."

Before Yu could finish speaking, Yudou had decisively picked out a card and pressed it on the card reader.

"Blue Pufferfish." With his fingertips resting on the card, Yuto calmly announced the name.

Blue Pufferfish, all the players present did not recognize this card.Together with pink squid and yellow octopus, it is one of the three entry cards, as long as it is a common card that players who claim to be sea monster cards must have.As far as the characteristics are concerned, the attributes of this card are not outstanding, and the skill "poisoning" is also set quite tasteless. In daily game duels, it is usually the existence of the bottom of the box, and it is almost invisible What players will actively use it.

Therefore, when the pufferfish-like cartoon character wobbled onto Udou's ring with his chubby head, it was unavoidable that bursts of laughter rang out inappropriately.

Among the audience present, Yugo was the only one who could not be infected by the comedy effect brought by the pufferfish.He stepped down his shoulders and sighed in frustration, "The 'blue pufferfish' is released at this time, Yuto, what are you thinking..."

"Don't worry," Yu reassured again, "It's not over yet." He repeated what he said before.

With people's laughter as the background sound effect, the unreliable pufferfish staggered around the sashimi knife that symbolized the sushi card hanging in front of HIROYA's arena, and then faced HIROYA's main attacking force this round, the golden Orca—the card that once belonged to Mr. Spectacles—scratched it gently.

And just after such a slight scratch, the situation on the screen suddenly changed.Immediately after receiving the slight shock of the attack, the golden killer whale was covered with a gray-black shadow, and at the same time, a strange black-purple BUFF mark appeared under the remaining half of HIROYA's health bar.

"What, what's wrong? What happened?" Xionggo, like everyone else present, was at a loss for the strange situation.

"That's 'food poisoning'. The blue puffer fish will release a special skill when facing the 'sushi card'." The gentle voice of the person around him answered his confusion in a timely manner, "and it's not just blue puffer fish, pink squid As with the yellow octopus, these two cards will also release special skills when they match the sushi card, namely 'Ink Mouth' and 'Uncomfortable Taste', both of which are added as DEBUFF to all the opponent's cards." After explaining, Yu sighed again as if unintentionally, "However, a card like 'Sushi Card' is an ultrararecard that can only appear once in [-] packs, and the number of cards distributed in the market is rare, so few people will know it. Its methods are hidden in the public cards that are discarded by everyone."

Xiongwu was taken aback when he heard what he said, "Senior Amano, how do you know this...?"

"Well," You said with a smile, "If you don't understand the rules of the game, how can you help Youdou-jun."

The outcome was settled in the blink of an eye.

The glory and praise that once surrounded him also left him after the ups and downs of victory and defeat.He is no longer the envy of everyone, but is abandoned by others to a dusty corner like a poor man.

why?

The rare cards collected with great effort were randomly discarded on the table by him.Not long ago, they were precious things beyond the reach of many ordinary players, but now even if they are randomly spread on the table, they can no longer attract anyone's attention.With his defeat, the iron rule of "the rarer the card, the more powerful it is" was also broken. Those so-called rare cards returned to their original value and became just one of the components that made up the game.

Why is this happening?

In the dim light screen, his dejected face was reflected.

"Knight Chess Beast..." He helplessly called out to the depressed face on the screen.

He just wanted to be number one, to occupy the top spot on that list!Because, as long as he stands at the highest point in the world, those bastards in the class will never look down on him again.He will stand on a high place and wantonly feel the jealous but helpless look up of those who thought he was trampled under his feet in the past; and the guy who used to always sneer at him, he follows like a follower He nodded and bowed behind him, just to ask for advice on how to get more rare cards - of course he would not say anything, the knight chess beast is a secret weapon that only belongs to him.

However, now that he lost the game, he has nothing left.

"I said Hiroya, you are really inferior!"

"What's the use of having so many rare cards? It's not like even elementary school students can't beat them."

"It's better for a useless person like you to stop playing games, get the hell out of here!"

Those annoying voices sounded in my head again, over and over again, lingering.

"Knight Chess Beast!"

The closed monitor suddenly lit up, and the figure of the Digimon appeared in the center of the screen. "What's the matter, Hiroya? Do you want more cards?" If you look closely, you will find that the whole body color of the Knight Chess Beast has changed from the dazzling ivory white in the past to the dull obsidian black now, and even the body size is smaller. I don't know how many times it has expanded.

"No, I don't need the card anymore." Jealous eyes pierced through the crowd and landed on the short boy surrounded in the center, "What I want is the number one position." Fingers gradually Tighten up, and squeeze a certain card to death in the palm of your hand.It was a golden killer whale card with an attack power of [-] that had been dominant in countless games, and it was finally reduced to the same end as ordinary waste paper.

"...No matter what means you use."

"Understood. I will fulfill your desire."

Knight Chessmon bowed its proud head as a knight to Hiroya seemingly loyally.As a result, the boy failed to see, in its stagnant eyes, the light of madness and greed that was the same as that of beasts shone.
