Chapter 40 Hayato Kobayashi and the Chamber of Secrets
In Malik's home, a group of people were sitting on the sofa quite seriously, looking at the man who was almost transparent and shrouded in golden mist with his arms hugged in front of his chest and silently listening to Hayato's words. But usually every day
The carefree Malik was sitting next to the man like a quail, his head lowered and silent.
On the side, Jonouchi moved closer to Honda who was sitting upright, and whispered in a low voice: "Hey, Honda, I remember that Malik should have said that his father is dead, right, and he still laughed at him.
He was killed by a very exaggerated dark personality. Why is his father still sitting here?"
"How did you know that this person is fine? Even an idiot can tell that his condition is obviously not normal." Honda glanced at Malik's father, and through his transparent body, he could even see the folds on the sofa.
, Jonouchi rolled his eyes and said, "And instead of asking me who doesn't know anything, why don't you just ask them face to face?"
"Hey, isn't this a bit embarrassing? I can't ask others why you're not dead yet." Jonouchi scratched the back of his head and whispered awkwardly.
And Hayato's voice happened to fall at this moment: "...just like that, we are here."
The man in front of Hayato nodded and remained silent for a while, then said: "...I see, I completely understand."
"First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Geb Isildar. I am the former leader of the tomb-guarding clan and the father of Isis and Malik. At the same time, I am also a person who died because of the [Thousand-Year Scepter]." p>
"Mr. Gaib, it's really already——!" Yugi looked at Gaib's transparent body. Although he had already had doubts when he first saw him, he heard Gaib standing here say that he had already...
Really dead, Yugi still inevitably showed a shocked expression, but also asked with some doubts, "But, why..."
"From the moment Malik stabbed me to death, I lost consciousness and fell into chaos. When I woke up, I became what I am now."
As he spoke, Geb raised a hand, and as he waved his arm, some golden mist drifted away from his body, and then merged into his arm again. His entire body looked like it was made of golden mist.
General.
"Only a few minutes had passed in my cognition, but when I opened my eyes, I saw the grown-up Isis. Only then did I realize that it had already passed since my death.
It’s been six years.”
"Six years..." Hayato was quite concerned about the time mentioned by Gaib, because if he remembered correctly, Malik should have killed Gaib seven years ago, which means that Gaib was killed about a year ago.
It has "resurrected" in this posture now, but a year ago, it was almost at the time of Duel City.
"In the past year since I recovered, I have stayed here without leaving. On the one hand, I don't want to show my face, lest other people would panic in the clan after seeing the dead former clan leader. On the other hand, the reason is that I am also here.
Look for the reason why I reappear in this world."
"Finally, I found the reason. Perhaps it was because of the treasure passed down from the clan that only the clan leader was qualified to see, that I stayed in the world in this form."
After explaining his situation, Geb turned his head: "O nameless Pharaoh, whose soul has been wandering in the world in confusion for three thousand years, helping you find your lost memories has also been one of the responsibilities of our tomb-guarding clan for thousands of years." p>
"If you need anything, just ask. No matter it is me, the deceased, Isis, the current patriarch, will lend a helping hand to you."
Glancing at the game, or rather the [Millennium Brick] on the chest of the game, the man moved his gaze to Bekas, who was beside the game with a curious look on his face, "The aura on your body is that of a person who was once entangled by the power of the [Millennium Artifact].
You seem to have fallen into a quagmire of misfortune because of this. I hope you won’t end up like me.”
"I hope you can find the inspiration you want among the tomb-keepers."
"Thanks, but I feel that I have found the inspiration that Best wants." Becas smiled at the man and said with interest, "Even if I die, I will not leave this world. I feel that I have found a way to
The power added to the new card."
Geb looked at Jonouchi and Honda who were whispering. Before he could say anything, Kyoko suddenly pushed the two of them and said sternly: "You two idiots have been talking about me since the beginning.
How rude! And the voice is not quiet at all!"
Then he sneered at Geb and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Geb. My friends actually don't mean any harm. I apologize to you on their behalf."
"No, it's nothing. I heard what they said from the beginning. It's also true that I am the deceased."
Frowning, Gebu looked at the three of them and said, "The Tomb Keeper Clan has extremely strict rules. Not only does the clan members not leave the clan without permission, outsiders are also not allowed to enter here at will. According to the clan rules, even if the elder is guilty,
For those of you who killed him and broke into the clan territory without permission, the death penalty is not too severe."
Hearing this, Jonouchi and Honda's breaths couldn't help but stagnated, but Kyoko could tell that Gaibu had no intention of taking action against them. If he wanted to take action, Gaibu had not allowed many people to stay at home from the beginning.
The need to sit down.
As expected, Geb continued: "But I have also said that it is a fact that I am the deceased. Now the leader of the tomb guard clan is Isis. The old guy who is responsible for punishment is always against me.
You are already dead. Before the clan leader returns to the clan or elects a new elder, there is no need for you to accept the punishment of our clan rules."
"Huh~ I was scared to death. I thought I was going to be killed."
But it's obvious that the idiot brothers Jonouchi and Honda haven't reacted until now, and they are just rejoicing that they saved their lives.
His eyes swept over everyone one by one, and finally landed on Hayato who was sitting directly opposite him. After looking at Hayato up and down, Gebu stood up and said, "Although he is no longer the clan leader, as the former tomb-keeper clan
As a member of the Communist Party of China, I have the obligation to fulfill my mission."
"But before that, you all follow me to a place first." As he said this, Gabe walked in front towards the direction of the house. Everyone looked at each other and followed Gaib to see that he was going to take them.
Where to go.
Although it looks like a two-story hut from the outside, it's a little bit special compared to other houses around it, but it doesn't stand out from the crowd. However, after following Geb, everyone knew that there was actually a basement here.
, and the space is quite large.
Walking down the stone steps, Malik said to Hayato: "I have an impression of this place. Although the buildings built on the surface of the clan are indeed inhabited, when there are any ceremonies or special activities that need to be held, they will be
Gather in this underground space, including but not limited to festivals, and punishing clan members who violate clan rules."
"It was here back then that because I left the clan without authorization, the bastard elder forced my father to set an example as a clan leader, and my father, under pressure, punished me, but he managed to transfer half of the punishment to failure to supervise me.
My Lishid bears the burden." After a pause, Malik's voice was a little low, "Unexpectedly, the other me was released because of Lishid's coma..."
Malik did not continue talking about what happened next, and Hayato also knew what happened next.
Walking down the stone steps, you will arrive at a wide underground space. In the center of the square-like underground space, there is a faint bloodstain that has not been erased over the years. When you pass by, you can smell the smell of blood and even hallucinate that there was something there in the past.
Too much wailing.
After passing through the square and coming to a huge stone door, Geb stopped, turned around and said to everyone:
"This is the secret room that stores the treasures that Isildar, the tomb-keeper family, has guarded for thousands of years. The [Millennium Scepter] and [Millennium Jewelry] were once stored in it. Each generation of users who are qualified to inherit the [Millennium Artifact]
They will come here under the leadership of the clan leader, take away the [Millennium Artifact], and then when their lives come to an end, the [Millennium Artifact] will be put back here again to wait for the next user."
"But apart from that, there is another secret treasure that survived three thousand years ago. Although it is not a special item with powerful dark power like the [Thousand-Year Artifact], it is quite special like the [Millennium Artifact].
The meaning, and I guess, maybe it was that secret treasure that made me return to the world as a dead person."
As he spoke, Geb counted the stone bricks on the door. From the center of the Eye of Horus on the door, he counted three squares upward, then two squares horizontally, and reached out to lightly tap the stone brick.
.
Immediately afterwards, the brick he knocked on shook and began to move. A small hole appeared in the middle, and the hole became larger and larger. Soon, a wide archway appeared in front of them, leading to the stone door. After opening
In the secret room, there are three huge golden statues.
The statue on the left seems to be that of a woman based on its body curve. She is holding an object around her neck with both hands. It can be seen at a glance that this statue may be used to display [Millennium Jewelry].
;
Symmetrical to the female statue is a male statue placed on the right. On the left hand of the statue is a golden duel disk of the kind worn by the tomb guardian elders before. However, the right hand of the male statue is raised high, and in the palm of his hand.
It's empty, and it looks like it once held the [Millennium Scepter].
The faces of the two human-shaped statues are blurred. I don’t know whether it is due to wear and tear caused by time, or whether it has been like this since the statue was completed. However, compared to the two golden statues, the most conspicuous one is the
It has to be a huge sun placed in the center of the secret room.
From the golden sun, countless straight lines symbolizing sunlight were cast, but at the end of the line there were arms one after another. Because of the design of the Duel Monster card, there was special research on ancient Egyptian mythology.
Becas was the first person to recognize the identity of this sun, and blurted out: "God Aton!"
"God Aton? Is that the symbol of the sun, the side of Ra who was deified in the New Kingdom era?" Hayato also heard about the existence of this god, and after being reminded by Bekas, he also thought of the god Aton.
The image is so consistent with the sun with arms in front of us.
The biggest feature of the ancient Egyptian pantheon is the extremely large number of gods and the extremely frequent changes and fusions between them. Not to mention the sun god alone, Hayato knows three of them, namely the sun that symbolizes dusk.
The god "Atum", the most orthodox god "Ra" of the sun at noon, and the newborn sun god "Aton" who almost became the supreme god of monotheism due to the religious reform.
However, that religious reform ended in failure because it touched too many interests and was too intense for the people to accept. God Aton failed to become the only god of the monotheistic religion, but was integrated into La who became the supreme god again.
Faith has become an aspect of it.
"Compared to that, no one complained about the location where the bricks were knocked just now. Isn't there something wrong?" Unlike the other people who knew something about ancient Egyptian mythology, Jonouchi was more concerned about the location where Gebu knocked the bricks just now. Because it was very interesting.
And because Honda had free movie tickets, he had watched "Harry Potter: The Movie" more than ten times a while ago. What impressed him deeply, besides the overly sweet taste in the soda he received for free, was the movie.
There is a scene where knocking bricks to open the door to the magical world.
And that cannot be said to be very similar to Gaib's action of opening the secret room, it can only be said to be exactly the same.
"This is the only way to open the secret room. If you hit it in the wrong position, the mechanism will be triggered immediately." Gabe explained, "It has nothing to do with "Harry Potter"."
"Huh? But I didn't mention "Harry Potter" either?"
When Jonouchi caught the flaw in his words, Geb remained silent and just pointed to the bottom of the golden statue of God Aton.
Following Gebu's guidance, everyone saw a gold box with triangle and circle marks underneath the statue of the god. That mark was the mark of God Aton. The [Millennium Wheel of Wisdom] Hayato was wearing at the moment was a reference to the
The image of that mark.
When they noticed the existence of the box, Yugi and Hayato once again had a strange feeling in their hearts. They could subconsciously feel that there was something in the box that attracted them. Such a feeling, they set out next to the Pyramid of Khufu
When looking for the land of the Tomb Keepers clan, the two of them also triggered it.
Geb explained: "What is stored in that gold box is the most important secret treasure of Isildar, the tomb-keeper clan - a part of a book that is older than the [Millennium Artifact].
Even if the mysterious knowledge recorded on it has been passed down for thousands of years, it still cannot be deciphered."
"That book is called, [Thousand-Year Magic Book]."
As Gebu finished speaking, the gold box actually opened automatically, and the items stored in it automatically rose up under the drive of the mechanism, and an ancient and broken book appeared in front of everyone!
But just when everyone wanted to get closer to the broken [Thousand-Year Magic Book], Gaib, who was standing next to the open stone door, moved a short distance, blocking everyone's view of the [Thousand-Year Magic Book] - although
It doesn't block too much, after all, his whole person is translucent.
As Geb raised his left hand, everyone saw that the golden dueling disk worn by the male statue behind him turned into liquid and gushes out, wrapped around Geb's wrist, and turned into a dueling disk again. They heard Geb say:
"The duel ceremony has begun, Hayato Kobayashi, let me see if you have enough courage to marry Yi from me...take away the [Thousand-Year Magic Book]!"
Did this guy almost say what was in his heart just now?
