Chapter 859: Ghost Appears

Late at night.

The white sedan sped on the dark highway, accompanied by a pleasant sound from the engine. That was the sound of the perpetual motion machine running.

Most energy sources in this dimension other than perpetual motion machines have been eliminated, and cars have long since stopped using fuel and electricity for propulsion. After the miniaturization of perpetual motion machines was successful, not only D-Wheels, but other vehicles also began to slowly replace the past energy system with perpetual motion machines.

There is another point that is very convenient for household vehicles, that is, driving skills are no longer a hard requirement for buying a car. The full maturity of the autonomous driving system makes manual driving almost a skill for a few people. Except for those with professional needs and special groups interested in driving, it is rare to see manually driven cars on the street.

At this time, Fujiki You Xuan was sitting in this special car for the Officer, looking through a batch of new cards he got today.

The Officer's car of the Security Bureau is naturally a high-end product, equipped with the latest driving AI produced by the Kaiba Corporation, which has better experience and reaction than human drivers.

Fujiki You Xuan still believed in this slogan. Even if it is another world, it is still produced by the Kaiba Corporation. And the intelligent driving system of the Kaiba Corporation he knew was mature enough many years ago, and in this era, the technical strength is needless to say.

Halfway through, lights suddenly chased from behind.

The buzzing of the D-Wheel flew past the side of the car window with the pleasant sound of the perpetual motion machine.

If it was just an ordinary overtaking, it would be fine, but the D-Wheel turned its direction arrogantly after passing from one side, slid forward for a distance on the highway surface, and wiped out a string of bright sparks.

Then the D-Wheel turned sideways, blocking the front like a roadblock.

The autonomous driving system detected the obstacle and immediately braked and stopped automatically.

Fujiki You Xuan frowned slightly and looked forward through the car window. In the darkness ahead, the stopped D-Wheel was a man in black leather. His face was gloomy, and although he was almost hidden in the darkness at night, Fujiki You Xuan still saw that cold face that hardly looked like a human.

"Ghost?"

Fujiki You Xuan recognized it.

The ghost here does not refer to supernatural ghosts, but the first enemy that appeared when the protagonist group in the 5D's original anime defeated the Dark Signers and the new chapter opened.

An unknown D-Wheel user calling himself Ghost ravaged New Domino City, attacking lone D-Wheel users everywhere by playing cards, and sent many duelists including Officer Ushio to the hospital.

Later, after Yusei faced this person, he discovered that this person was not a real person, but a remotely controlled robot. Its mastermind was named Placido, one of the Three Emperors of "Illiaster," an organization aimed at rewriting human history, and also a subordinate of the final villain of 5D's, Z-one.

However, it is clear that compared to the original history, this Ghost—or rather, Placido—appeared a bit too early.

Fujiki You Xuan got out of the car, stood calmly by the car, and looked at Ghost.

"That's it."

Placido spoke through the Ghost robot and said coldly to Fujiki You Xuan.

"I don't know where you came from, but Rex Goodwin is a pawn of our Illiaster. You replaced him, which is a challenge to our Illiaster."

"And now, your messing with the timeline ends here."

"Messing with the timeline?" Fujiki You Xuan raised his eyebrows.

If he had to say it, he was actually maintaining history to keep it as it was. And the equipment he used to detect historical anomalies was seized from Paradox, theoretically speaking, he was on the same team as this group of people from Illiaster.

In fact, when he learned that someone was tampering with history and causing two dimensions to collide, the first suspect in Fujiki You Xuan's mind was Z-one and his Illiaster organization. After all, Illiaster itself is an organization established to modify history, and their possibility is the greatest.

But as Paradox said before, they modified history to save the world, to let their dimension get rid of the destroyed future, and to let humanity continue.

But once the two dimensions collide, everyone will be finished together, what future is there to talk about?

Fujiki You Xuan thought before that since someone arranged for Goodwin to make trouble in this dimension, and he replaced Goodwin and pulled out this pawn to prevent the other party from making trouble, the other party might show up personally to find trouble with him.

As a result, the one who appeared to find trouble now is actually Illiaster...

Could the mastermind really be Z-one?

At this time, Ghost continued to speak: "Of course, you still have a chance to live... the only chance."

Ghost sneered twice, and then activated the Duel Disk on the D-Wheel.

"Duel?" Fujiki You Xuan said.

"Not bad. I will eliminate you, this abnormality, from the timeline through a duel. If you can win against me, you can get a glimmer of hope."

Ghost sneered.

"Of course, if you are afraid and dare not accept, then you will be directly regarded as forfeiting and surrendering."

"Ho, so it seems I have no choice."

Fujiki You Xuan shrugged.

"Alright. But as you can see, I didn't bring a D-Wheel, and I'm not good at Turbo Dueling. How about a standing duel?"

Ghost scoffed: "It doesn't matter."

Saying that, he got off the car, unlocked the Duel Disk on the D-Wheel, and came to Fujiki You Xuan.

Fujiki You Xuan was partly because he really didn't have a D-Wheel at hand, and partly because he didn't particularly like Turbo Dueling. The restriction of not being able to use Spell cards had a great impact on many decks, although there was nothing he couldn't adapt to, but by comparison, he preferred standing duels.

"Then, duel!" x2

【Fujiki You Xuan, LP 4000】

【Ghost, LP 4000】

"I go first, draw."

Fujiki You Xuan took the first move and drew two cards from his hand at will.

"Set one monster face-down in the front row, and then set two face-down cards in the back row. Turn end."

"My turn, draw!"

Ghost drew a card and scanned the hand he drew, his mouth twitching into a cold smile.

Although it was a robot, Illiaster's technology was divine, and the outer skin was very simulated, even the expression could perfectly imitate the appearance of a real person.

"Summon 'Wisel Core'!"

A blue starlight vortex appeared on Ghost's field, and the oval white metal ball rose from the vortex, bursting with starlight. Then the ball separated from the waist, revealing the dark blue energy core hidden under the metal shell.

【Wisel Core, DEF 0】

Fujiki You Xuan was not surprised at all. Sure enough, it was Wisel Core.

Placido used a deck called "Meklord Emperor," among which this Wisel Core was the most critical core card for Meklord Emperor's deployment.

In the original work, the three emperors of Illiaster played cards quite a few times, and the three of them had never used any search means, but they never failed to draw the core in the first turn.

I seriously suspect that these three never shuffled their cards when playing...
