Chapter 473

"What are you saying, Seeing Ke Luo!" When Shinji heard Seeing Ke Luo's words, the smile that had appeared on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by full-blown anger. "Having finally obtained this power that can resist, how could I possibly give it up!"

Seeing Ke Luo retorted directly: "Have you gone out to see what those companions who used this card have experienced!

Although they successfully took away the police's power, the duelists themselves also lost their lives because of it.

Besides, even if you defeated the police, there was no need to treat them like that!

Even the security police have never ravaged the citizens like that!"

Seeing Ke Luo's words were quite convincing. As someone who had committed many offenses and for whom going to prison was like going home, he had been caught by the security police more than once and had taken many beatings, but those police at most taught him a lesson and never beat him to death.

Of course, he wasn't making excuses for the lackeys of the Upper City, but he thought this side was simply too extreme.

"Seeing Ke Luo, everyone has been silent and in pain for too long. Since there is this opportunity for them to release their pain, why do you have to keep harping on it!" Shinji retorted immediately.

Previously, a security police officer was defeated by them, and some of the public got carried away and almost kicked the police officer to death, which led to a disagreement between him and Seeing Ke Luo.

"At the end of the day, the power of that card is too dangerous. It is unreasonable for you to distribute that card to everyone, no matter what."

"I know, everyone knows that this power is absolutely not normal, but we don't care! If even dignity and freedom cannot be guaranteed, what is the meaning of life?"

Tiera began to yawn.

She had no interest in this kind of human argument, and Tenjou Hikari didn't mind.

Truth, especially regarding life-and-death matters like this, was clearly not something one could find an answer to all at once, but rather something to be tried step by step, so that the true answer could be found.

Anyway, he only came here to simply look for information related to the Earthbound Immortals; the rest didn't matter.

While arguing, Shinji asked Seeing Ke Luo what they should do if they didn't use this.

Seeing Ke Luo said directly: "Believe in Yusei! Yusei will definitely find the answer for us!"

"Yusei? Fudo Yusei?" Shinji sneered. "Hmph, hasn't that guy not appeared since he defeated Jack? Perhaps he has already become a lackey of the upper-class people and wants to become the new King."

"What did you say?!" Seeing Ke Luo rushed up and grabbed Shinji by the collar. "Yusei would absolutely not be that kind of person! He will definitely find the answer for all of us!"

"Then tell me, where is he!"

Seeing Ke Luo's hand softened a bit. At this moment, someone suddenly raised their hand and said: "A few days ago, I saw Yusei rescue an other-dimensional person on the road! He is in the Lower City! He has been by our side all along!"

Seeing Ke Luo's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Where did you see him! I want to go find him!"

Shinji was suddenly taken aback.

He didn't expect that the guy who rushed to the championship of the top-tier finals would actually be willing to return to the lower layers.

"But—" he continued, "why doesn't he join us! He's clearly by our side, why doesn't he think of a way with us!"

"Yusei must have more important things to do!" Seeing Ke Luo responded decisively.

Afterward, he looked at everyone present and said: "Everyone, this card is too dangerous. If it's not necessary, don't risk your lives! There must be a better way!"

"You are too naive, Seeing Ke Luo!"

The two argued for a while longer. In the end, Shinji had no choice but to tell the people willing to join the resistance army about the Earthbound Geoglyph. Although the vast majority of people who came here wanted to resist the upper-class people, with Seeing Ke Luo's interruption, a portion of the people chose not to accept the card and left silently.

Even so, half of the people accepted Shinji's argument, chose the card, and swore to fight to the death with the upper-class people.

After the meeting ended, the crowd began to disperse gradually. Little by little, only a few people were left in the room.

"Seeing Ke Luo—I have always treated you as a friend, but if you want to stop me, even if it's you, I won't show mercy!" In the end, Shinji dropped this sentence coldly, completely parting ways with Seeing Ke Luo.

Seeing Ke Luo was silent for a long time.

Parting ways completely with Shinji, although it made him sad, wasn't that painful. But not being able to stop those people from throwing their lives away made him truly painful.

That's right—throwing their lives away.

In his view, those who chose the "Earthbound Geoglyph" were destined to have only this one ending.

Because whether they defeated the security police or lost to the security police, in the end, their lives would be absorbed by that card.

They would become the "dye" for the huge geoglyph surrounding the entire "City," offering up their own lives.

Perhaps that card did have the power to make people resist, but that power was not free.

Not to mention whether they could defeat the upper-class people, when that geoglyph was finally completed, what would happen to this world? At that time, could the so-called lower-layer people really be liberated? Would they instead become slaves to that geoglyph?

These were all unknowns.

He strongly disapproved of cooperating with such unknown power.

He thought about it.

Even if he were treated with hostility, even if Shinji treated him as an enemy, he couldn't just pretend he didn't see it.

He immediately patted his face, then climbed over the table, walked out of the room, and secretly followed Shinji.

He wanted to see where Shinji went, who he met, and where the Earthbound Geoglyph was obtained.

As a famous habitual offender, someone who often went to the upper-class area to steal cards and then sell them or give them to children to play with, Seeing Ke Luo's stealth technique was still very good. Even though he was secretly following Shinji, Shinji didn't discover him.

He followed Shinji through many alleys, and suddenly felt the surrounding roads become somewhat spacious.

Isn't this the road to the upper layers!?

He was shocked in his heart. Fortunately, Shinji didn't collude with any upper-class people as he had thought, but found a remote house in a nearby area.

He breathed a sigh of relief, followed him inside, and heard a familiar voice.

"Hmph, didn't expect there to be a tail—oh, isn't this my good brother?"

The next second, with a bang, he was directly hit and sent flying by a huge impact.

Just when he thought he was going to land on the ground, he suddenly felt his body lighten, and discovered that there was actually a cloaked person who had been following him all along.

He widened his eyes. Afterward, he shook his head, stood straight, and said: "Thanks."

"Seeing Ke Luo!!" Shinji rushed out of the room. He looked at Seeing Ke Luo and roared, "Why, why are you following me!!"

As he roared, a strange storm erupted. At the same time, a strange light rose on his left forearm. The image of a light-blue long-horned demon appeared on the back of his hand.

Goblin...

Tenjou Hikari frowned in confusion.

Why would Shinji, this person, have a Dark Mark?

At the same time, a person with gray-white hair, eyes where the whites were completely replaced by black, red stripes on the right cheek, and wearing a strange uniform with blue stripes on a black background walked out of the room.

"Yo, Seeing Ke Luo."

"Kiryu!? Didn't you die—"

Didn't expect to run into the leader of the nominal Earthbound Immortal apostles right off the bat.

"Seeing Ke Luo... Heh, didn't expect such a touching reunion after so long. I ask you, where is Yusei!" He suddenly became ferocious, but a moment later, he slowly became peaceful again. "Ah, I heard, you don't know either... Hmph, I thought there would be some fun to satisfy me."

Just after saying this, he looked at the "passerby" Tenjou Hikari on the side, and immediately noticed the Dark Mark on his left hand.

"Oh—" he suddenly became interested. "Didn't expect there to be another agent of the 【Only God】 here?"

Only... God?

Only?

Suddenly, Tenjou Hikari had a flash of inspiration. The strange feeling from before was suddenly connected, and he felt he had grasped the true "core point" of this dimension.
