Chapter 1219: Riot

For most people, this was originally just an ordinary day.

The weather was fine, and pedestrians on the street were in a hurry. Some were busy going to work, some were busy going on dates, and no one could have imagined that this day would remain in human history forever.

Dark clouds suddenly covered the sky, isolating the sun and the blue sky behind thick clouds. Thunder and lightning flashed in the sky, as if something was roaring in anger.

The next moment, darkness descended... in the form of cards.

Yes, it was cards. Extremely abrupt, and probably unprecedented, as if dense raindrops had fallen from the thick clouds, thousands of dark red raindrops falling down with a clatter.

And every single raindrop seemed to be a card. Those cards seemed to have spirituality, naturally being attracted toward the direction where people were. The people who were targeted and locked onto also seemed to have lost their souls, unconsciously reaching out their hands, letting those raindrops wrapped in cards fall into their hands.

The next moment, those cards seemed to have been sucked into the human body. Everyone who obtained a card was stunned for a moment, their eyes quickly becoming hollow, and their expressions becoming dull.

Faint red light shrouded these people, making the entire street exude a strange atmosphere.

A handsome man in a suit on the street was hit by a card, his body instantly stiffened, his eyes, which had lost their luster, staring blankly ahead, seemingly not knowing what he was thinking.

Beside him, the beautiful lady who was dressed richly and generously was originally looking up at the sky strangely, watching the wonderful scene of red raindrops falling all over the sky. At this moment, noticing the strangeness of her male companion, she turned her head strangely and asked: "What's wrong? Hideyoshi? Are you okay?"

Saying this, she put on a concerned look, stepped forward, and placed her fair, small hand on the man's forehead.

The man came back to his senses, and after seeing the lady in front of him, his expression suddenly changed, and he angrily reached out and pushed her to the ground.

The lady was caught off guard, and while sitting down on her bottom, it caused a tremor in her mountains, and at the same time, she looked at the man angrily: "What are you going crazy for!?"

The man was shrouded in red light, as if his anger had turned into visible flames: "I'm going crazy? Stop joking! Don't think I don't know!

You woman, every time I go out, you take advantage of the opportunity to invite my brother Ryosuke to the house, right? Don't think I don't know!"

The lady was shocked: "You... you knew? Since when...?"

"Heh, once I came back from a business trip early, and when I got to the door, I saw Ryosuke's shoes in the entryway. I gave him those shoes for his birthday last time." The man named Hideyoshi snorted. "It's just that I didn't expose it at the time, went to the coffee shop downstairs and sat for half an hour, and only entered the door at the scheduled time."

For some reason, after the words fell, the Barian energy radiating from Hideyoshi seemed to turn green, and the manifestation of his entire "presence" looked just like a green-haired turtle.

Hearing this, the lady was shocked, but after the surprise, she laughed instead of being afraid, looking up and laughing wildly: "So you knew all along? Good, good, good... Then you thought I didn't know all along?

I knew all along that the reason you chose me was just to give your parents an explanation; I was just your cover. You keep saying Ryosuke is your brother, but actually, he is far more than that to you, right?"

Hideyoshi's face changed drastically: "What do you mean?"

"What do I mean, you know best yourself. I know you're actually not interested in women at all; you like men!" The lady roared wildly. "The reason I got together with Ryosuke was just to take revenge on you! To let you feel the pain of being betrayed and having important things taken away by others! Hahahaha—"

Saying this, she laughed crazily, causing another tremor of her snow-white mountains.

The two of them were not quiet, and many passersby heard this dialogue, only to be dumbfounded, wondering if young people nowadays are so wild? Is this really a dialogue that humans can have?

"Damn woman!"

Hideyoshi was extremely angry, so naturally, in his extreme anger, he unfolded his Duel Disk.

"Since that's the case, then I have nothing more to say to you! Let's duel!"

Playing cards when happy, playing cards when angry, playing cards when there is conflict; in short, you have to play cards, this is the rule of this world.

The woman also got up: "Fine, I'd be happy to! Let's duel!" However, neither of them noticed that at this moment, somewhere on the man's body, a mark with the word "Number" flashed by, indicating that this was by no means an ordinary duel.

The two people involved in this duel, at least one of them would definitely not have a good ending.

And at this very moment, in various parts of Heartland, similar scenes were emerging one after another. Couples arguing, brothers turning against each other, family members fighting, and even strangers turning into duels just because of a shoulder-to-shoulder encounter.

One million Numbers were thrown to all parts of the world in an instant, just like one million fuses. It was as if the entire earth had turned into a huge powder keg, which could be ignited at any second.

"Today's news. The riots that occurred this morning show no signs of stopping yet..."

"The military has been dispatched and will use force to forcibly suppress it."

"Middle Eastern countries have broken out in war again without warning. The war has lasted for a day and a night, and currently, the generals of the two armies have agreed to decide the ownership of the territory through a duel this evening..."

"..."

Conflicts in the news were constant, and after being organized by Orbital 7, they were projected in front of everyone.

"What's going on?" Yuma wondered. "Even Heartland has had several incidents today..."

"It's the Numbers." Kaito said in a deep voice. "I don't know how these people got them, but we have confirmed that everyone has a Number reaction."

"We have already dispatched orbital satellites to count all energy reactions, and based on the data collected, we have made a preliminary estimate of the 'Numbers' currently appearing all over the world..."

He paused and emphasized his tone.

"... there are about one million."

Yuma was shocked: "There are one million Numbers!?"

"That's naturally impossible," Astral shook his head. "Those cannot be the real 'Numbers,' or at least they cannot be the original versions."

"They were probably made by Barians, for some ulterior motives."

Yuma looked at the only Barian present, Dumon: "Is this possible?"

Dumon shook his head: "No, as far as I know, Barians should not have such technology."

But he paused after saying this, as if thinking of something.

"Unless..."

Astral: "Unless what?"

"... No, nothing."

Dumon didn't continue, but he began to feel uneasy in his heart.

That guy Vector... he wouldn't really be crazy enough to go to the forbidden area and unseal Don Thousand, would he? ===== CHAPTER 1220 =====
