Chapter 4 And reuniting with people you don’t want to see
This ball of jade, which Hayato temporarily named "Oliha Gang's Jade", in terms of the feeling it gives Hayato, is no different from the previous "Oliha Gang Fragments".
A wishing device that seems to get rewards if you make a wish on it.
But Hayato doesn't dare to make a wish on this thing. There are no wishes that require the help of this thing to come true. Secondly, he has not forgotten what happened to Atlantis because of Oliha.
Although he brought this thing to the clock tower mentioned in the letter, Hayato didn't know where he should go next. It was still early, it was only early six in the morning. On the street, Hayato saw nothing but the Thames Canal.
Outside the mist formed by the rising water vapor, no one could be seen at all.
Although the Industrial Revolution has long since ended, for the English people whose climate is humid and rainy all year round, and who must bring an umbrella when going out, the name "Fog City" should still accompany London.
Anyway, now that he's here, Hayato doesn't want to go anywhere else. Besides, he has slept on the plane for a long time and is not sleepy at all. He plans to just go to the Clock Tower and take a walk. Anyway, it is a place for the outside world.
If you visit the inside of the development, it will take almost ten years before it enters the maintenance period due to disrepair.
But the problem is that he learned from the entrance of the clock tower that the opening hours here are actually from two o'clock in the afternoon to ten o'clock in the evening. Now let alone checking in to visit, even the ticket office is empty and no one is working - okay
Well, asking people to go to work at six o'clock is indeed a bit embarrassing.
However, this is not a problem for Hayato. It is not that he intends to use the invincible ladder to evade fares. When there is no one on duty at the ticket office, even if he pretends to repair the light bulb, no one will open the door for him. After he is sure
After checking the surrounding surveillance locations, he sent out a few elves without entering the surveillance range and asked them to twist the surveillance cameras to another direction, forcibly creating a blind spot for surveillance.
Then after confirming again that no one was around, Hayato sped up and ran, kicked his feet on the wall a few times, easily climbed over the wall, and successfully entered the interior of the Clock Tower Scenic Area. At this time, Hayato sent
The elves also turned the surveillance camera back to its original angle.
Are tickets such an inconvenience? As long as you enter the scenic spot without being seen by anyone, doesn't that count as ticket evasion?
Climbing up the narrow stone stairs, the spiral stone steps are so endless that Hayato can't even remember how high he has climbed as he walks. No matter he looks up or down, he can only see
The same spiral staircase made Hayato regret that he was not in the future and visited the Clock Tower after the elevator to the top was built.
It took Hayato a few minutes to complete the nearly four hundred steps. At the top of the clock tower, he saw a complex device connected to the clocks on the four sides of the clock tower. The huge mechanical device covering an area of about ten square meters was moving with
The clockwork power is running on its own, driving the clock hands on the four sides of the bell tower to rotate. The dial of the clock is divided into hundreds of pieces by an exquisite Prussian blue iron frame. The sun shines through the mist outside the bell tower and shines on the cat's eye stone.
The feel of a classic Victorian Gothic church.
However, what attracts Hayato the most is not the view inside the bell room, but a very inconspicuous small mark carved on the edge of the closed maintenance channel leading from the bell room to the higher roof - [Oliha Gang's
The pattern of "Enchantment".
"Why is there this mark here?" Without hesitation, he climbed up this seemingly abandoned maintenance passage. The door at the end leading to the upper part was rusty, as if it had not been opened for decades.
, giving Hayato an unusual feeling. With curiosity, he clenched his fists and took a deep breath.
"The magnetic field rotates a million times, dueling blasting punches!"
The power of [Psychic Ectoplasm] was released from the card, and merged with Hayato's body. The power of Hayato's other elves also gathered into his fist, "I will blast you away."
!"
"No baggage!"
As we all know, in this old poker world, ten out of nine people who want to solve problems by other means than playing cards will not end well, but playing cards is actually a means of sealing, just like
The battle between Bo-O Meng next door is actually to prevent the trainer from going out personally, and the card game is also to prevent the duelist from going out to tear up the powerful enemy with his own hands.
Not only Bekas, who shamelessly uses his mind-reading ability in duels, but also holders of the [Millennium Artifact] and extraordinary ability holders, as well as Baron and Jonouchi who are not only somewhat good at it,
Rather, duelists who are extremely good at "I summon my fists to attack directly" type of battles are all people whose power has been sealed due to the restrictions of duel monsters, and Hayato also knows a little bit about this.
With a "boom", the rusty but actually quite solid iron door was somewhat deformed under Hayato's punch, and the lock part had detached from the door frame. Hayato just pulled the deformed door lightly with his hand.
The iron door opened, revealing... a wall behind the door?
This door was abandoned because it was blocked behind! Hayato couldn't help but complained in his mind, but he didn't move his eyes away from the masonry wall in front of him, but looked up and down.
Trying to find something.
Soon, he found a gap in the rough wall. It seemed normal to have such a small gap in a brick that had been there for a long time, but Hayato was keenly aware of the size of the circular gap.
It seems to match the "Oliha Gang Jade" he is carrying.
After Baitan Moruo gave it a try, Hayato casually took out the ball jade, pointed it at the extremely inconspicuous gap on the wall, and stuck it on it. Obviously the ball jade was not a metal object and could not be magnetic, and
There is no structure that can fix objects in the gap in the wall, but when the ball jade in Hayato's hand comes close to the gap, it aligns itself and absorbs, and they fit tightly together.
"Click-" The sound of something starting up came from behind the wall, as if the gear structure started to operate. Hayato seemed to be using the "Oliha Gang Jade" in his hand to awaken the mechanism behind the wall. p>
At the beginning of the brick wall, one brick retracted behind the wall, revealing a small hole. Then one after another, ordinary-looking bricks spontaneously moved and shrank, slowly forming a wide circle on Hayato's head.
Then, Hayato saw that there was darkness behind the wall.
Although he was not a professional in fighting, Hayato still groped around on his body, reached into the card box on his waist, pulled out a card, and said to the [Hell Flame Curse Dragon] in his hand: "Here, borrow some fire." Some flames spit out from the mouth of [Hell Flame Curse Dragon], and its card turned into a small lighter at this moment. Hayato stretched it upward, but it failed to dispel the darkness inside, but at least it confirmed that it should be safe inside.
.
Without hesitation, Hayato climbed into the open secret room, and the next moment Hayato entered the secret room on the top of the clock tower, the circular passage he passed gradually narrowed, and finally returned to its original solid and plain appearance.
The strange wall not only left the "Oliha Gang's Jade" that Hayato used when entering on the other side, but Hayato was also left in this darkness.
However, this darkness did not last long. Soon, not far from the front of Hayato, a green light suddenly lit up. Looking there, Hayato found that it was a very old screen, basically the same as what he used to see in the textbook.
The picture of "the world's first computer" seen on the Internet is not much different.
Not only the screen, but one after another light came on. Some were the light of the display screen that was the same as that screen, and some were the power indicator lights of some kind of switch. The rays of light barely illuminated this enclosed and narrow space.
It was so bright that Hayato could see clearly that there was actually a lot of antique electronic equipment placed in the secret space above the bell chamber on the top floor of the clock tower.
And on the screen that was first turned on, large green "0"s and "1"s suddenly appeared, forming a face that was very familiar to Hayato.
"Dazi!?"
The figure in the screen, who made a gesture of opening his eyes and moved at a very low frame rate, turned his "eyes" to Hayato and said, and his voice was also emitted from the audio equipment in the room: "Open this
The person holding the door to the room is actually not me, but a stranger?"
It can be heard that "Tatsu" is very confused, and what makes Hayato a little surprised is that Tatsu, who looked like an idiot when he was face to face with him, actually looked like he didn't recognize him at the moment, and although it sounded a bit strange,
, but even through the screen, Hayato can still feel that Datsu is not lying, but that he really doesn’t know Hayato.
"Wait a moment, I'm reading data." As Dazi said on the main screen, large data streams composed of 0s and 1s also appeared on other surrounding screens, forming many familiar scenes for Hayato.
, from the duel between himself and Jiaojiao in the duel kingdom, the duel between himself and Kaiba in the duel city, and even the duel between himself and Datsu in Doma, etc.
A pillar rose up on the ground. Hayato saw that the "Oliha Gang Jade" he had used to open the entrance to this room was on the pillar. At the same time, Darzi on the main screen seemed to have completed what he called "reading data."
", he spoke again, but this time the voice felt a little familiar to Hayato.
"I see, I completely understand all this. I didn't expect that my plan of thousands of years would be completely destroyed by you, Hayato-kun~"
"Tsk, that's the familiar and annoying tone. Sure enough, you are Dazi." Looking at Dazi on the screen warily, Hayato frowned and said, "Originally, I thought I had already identified you with Oliha.
Gangshen was completely wiped out together, and you were allowed to survive? You didn’t value your own life and continued to linger, but you actually led me to appear in front of you again. Are you here to take the initiative to die?"
"Unfortunately, I'm afraid I can't let you get what you want, Hayato-kun, because I can't die a second time. Or maybe I and the 'Datsu' you know are not fundamentally the same existence." Da Zi on the screen showed a helpless expression and spread her hands with some lag, "You should have seen the decorations here. Do you want to try to guess what 'I' is?" <
/p>
"What are you?" Hayato looked around with some confusion. Those electronic devices that were old but still barely functioning gave him a feeling, as if they were a computer set?
"You seem to have guessed it? You are indeed the Hayato-kun I recognize~" Dazi said with a smile, "Before defeating me, you should have known about the role of the Doma I created in the development of human history.
The guiding role of Thomas. The industrial revolution in England, the Renaissance in Italy, and even the unification of Europe by Napoleon in France all have the shadow of Thomas behind them."
"In order to do these things, I not only relied on the foundation accumulated over thousands of years to control the families that dominated these events, such as the Medici family in Florence, the Bonaparte family in France, etc., I also created a family here in London that I
Back up, to lead the guidance of human history."
"That is, the me you see in front of you is another Dazi who is based on the spirit of Dazi at that time and is engraved in the electronic system. Maybe you can call me 'artificial intelligence'?"
After hearing what Datsu said, Hayato suddenly understood where the sense of déjà vu he had felt from the moment he entered this room came from, and couldn't help but complain: "What Zola? Import yourself into the computer, right?"
"No, wait a minute. When did you appear? The Industrial Revolution in England?" Hayato said strangely, "Siemens in Germany had to wait until the 19th century to make a generator. You were in the 18th century?"
A computer was invented in the 20th century?"
"To be precise, I existed when this bell tower was built. Although the 'Big Ben' you know was only built in the 19th century, the prototype bell tower already existed in the 13th century.
, the subsequent construction is just a modification of the original bell tower."
"And the generator you mentioned was only made in the 19th century. A more accurate statement should be the generator that appeared in human hands under the promotion of Doma in the 19th century." Dazi on the screen corrected, in disguise.
Answered Hayato's question accurately.
But Hayato became more and more strange: "The bell tower has been renovated, but you have been on the bell tower without being discovered?"
"As long as all the people involved in and supervising the renovation and construction of the bell tower are from Doma, wouldn't it be fine?" Dazi said lightly, as if it was natural to exhale after inhaling.
Although he was shocked by Datsu's words, Hayato thought about it and felt that these things had nothing to do with him. Besides, the Doma organization had already collapsed with the death of Datsu himself. No matter how horrifying the past history was,
It was also a matter of the past. He looked at Dazi on the screen and said, "So, that's all you have to say, right? I actually don't care too much about past history."
"However, I don't mind killing people who have been killed in the past again."
With that said, Hayato raised the duel plate and was about to draw out the card and attack Tatsu in front of him.
Kodashi saw Hayato's movements through a camera or other equipment, and quickly waved his hands and said: "Stop, stop, don't be so excited, Hayato-kun, the reason why I, or the dead me, took that 'Oliha Gun'
Of course there is a reason why I sent the stone to you and then asked you to come to me."
After a pause, another screen was brought to Dazi by a robotic arm. Several maps were displayed on the lighted screen. Dazi's voice sounded again: "Hayato-kun, do you want the world or not?"
