Chapter 673: President Wants Everything
"The orbital elevator has arrived."
"The gravity field is stable."
"There are no system errors, and the level 3 track tube security device has been checked."
""
A series of crisp and melodious electronic female voices kept ringing in Yuei Vi's ears as he walked through the long aisle. He walked slowly along the long and narrow corridor leading to the orbital elevator. Both sides of the corridor were neatly lined with state-of-the-art computer equipment.
Behind each computer was a programmer girl wearing a sci-fi uniform, a helmet, and smart goggles. Each of them had slender and nimble fingers, tapping on the keyboard all the time, like a pianist playing to the climax of a movement.
Yes, that's right. As always, the programmers at Kaiba Corp were all girls, and all of them had sweet voices and good looks. There wasn't even a single guy in the room.
Regarding the extremely imbalanced male-to-female ratio in the coding community, Yuei Vu was very curious about how the president managed to recruit all programmers who were girls.
Or was it because the president felt that all his programmers were just decorations anyway, the company firewall could be entered as easily as a bus, and every time something went wrong he had to go out and type the code himself, so why not just find some pretty girls to keep his eyes on?
After getting into the orbital elevator developed by the president, Yuei Vu fastened his seat belt. An elegant electronic female voice swirled around him, and the scene outside the glass was blurred by the high speed.
Sitting in this thing, feeling the stars become within reach, Yuei Vu felt like he had entered a whole new dimension.
He still found it unbelievable that President Kaiba would create such unscientific pieces of stuff just to drag Atem up to play cards.
This kind of black technology system was enough to make anyone think that they had entered the wrong studio. Although this was an anime about card games, there was no sense of incompatibility at all when seamlessly connecting with the Mobile Suit Gundam next door.
"You have arrived at your destination."
The elevator gradually stopped, and the synthesized electronic sound sounded for the last time.
"Have a nice trip."
Yuei Vu walked through most of the space station and came to the central room. Not surprisingly, he saw President Kaiba waiting patiently, and the Millennium Puzzle being assembled under the scanning simulation of the supercomputer.
President Kaiba didn't even turn around when he came in, but he seemed to instinctively know the identity of the person coming.
"Yugi said it took him eight years to complete this thing." Kaiba said calmly without looking back, "And I will finish it in six hours."
Is this why you built a space station? Yuei Vu complained in his heart.
Yuei Vu thought and organized his words and tentatively said to the president, "President, have you ever considered that maybe digging graves is wrong?
It was said that we should let the deceased sleep. Atem finally let go of everything to rest in peace in the underworld. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for you to dig him up like this after he has been lying there for a year?"
However, the president only gave him a cold look.
Peace?
He can rest in peace, so what about me?
I won't allow him to escape before our conflict has the final result!
Yuei Vu couldn't help but mutter: "The point is, if he has to wait until you can defeat him, President, it will be too difficult. By then, I'm afraid he won't be able to buy a ticket back to the underworld."
"What did you say?"
"Nothing."
Obviously, this argument was not feasible. The president seemed not to think there is anything wrong with his grave-digging behavior at all.
In fact, let alone digging graves, he had played cards with Aigami in Atem's grave before, and even destroyed the grave directly without thinking there was anything wrong with it.
Yuei Vu decided to change his way of approaching.
Isnt the president the most superstitious about science? Okay, then lets reason with him from a scientific point of view.
As we all know, the souls of the deceased and the underworld are all superstitious and unscientific from the perspective of modern science. People say that the souls of the deceased are still there. After all, it is just a relief to the living.
President, dont you always say that all kinds of supernatural are nonsense?
How can a dead person come back to life?
But the president said "Humph" again: It was just the limitation of modern science. Some phenomena cannot be explained yet due to the limitations of the times, but I will find out the principle sooner or later!
Yuei Vu: ""
Damn it, president, why didnt you say that when Atem was still here?
I still remember that whenever Atem mentioned metaphysics to the president in the past, you would always say "I won't listen, I won't accept, blah blah blah." Now that he's gone, you actually change your tone?!
Yuei Vu was helpless and reminded the president that Atem was not the only Duel King back then.
You have never defeated Atem, but have you ever defeated me?
Why do you have to be so obsessed with someone who is already dead?
However, he couldn't help but shut up when the president glared at him with a ferocious "What? Do you want to play cards?" look.
The president snorted again: "Don't worry, sooner or later there will be an end between you and me. But before that, I still have some loans to settle with this guy."
Yuei Vu: ""
Good guy, President, do you still want to catch two fishes with both hands?
Playing cards with a Duel King is not enough fun, you want to play with two?!
Yuei Vu was really helpless now.
He finally saw that President Kaiba's determination was unshakable. His current mentality may be "Either you come back to the earth, or I go to the underworld to find you. In short, you can't escape from this duel no matter what, Yugi"
Yuei Vu felt that there was nothing he could do. After thinking about it, he felt that the last person left in the world who might be able to stop the president's growing obsession with Atem was Muto Yugi.
In terms of missing Atem, there may be no one in the world who could compare with Yugi. But even so, Yugi didn't show even a moment's hesitation when sending Atem away, shaking Atem's determination to return to the underworld.
Yuei Vu thought that if that didn't work out, he might as well tell Yugi the whole story and arrange for him to play cards with President Kaiba to see if he could help Kaiba get rid of this idea.
But for Yugi who may have finally gotten over the sadness of parting, this may be a bit cruel.
After giving up trying for the time being, Yuei Vu sighed and changed the subject: "President, Mokuba told me that you met the opponent named Aigami' and you let him go?"
Mokuba described the process to him, and it was roughly the same as the development in the movie, but there were some minor differences.
Mokuba said that of all the people from Kaiba Corp who went to that temple, almost all the armed bodyguards were sent to another dimension by the Aigami using some metaphysical means. The only ones who came back in the end were Kaiba, Mokuba, and Isono.
Kaiba was a superhuman, and Mokuba was suspected of being the crown prince of Konohagakure. However, its a bit intriguing how Uncle Isono escaped unscathed.
Maybe Isono was the real boss behind the scenes (crossed out)
Kaiba glanced sideways at him and hummed in reply.
"Have you never considered catching him?"
"Why should I do this?" Kaiba asked.
"Uh, because of the recent missing persons incident in Domino? Maybe those are related to Aigami?"
"Not interested." Kaiba crossed his arms, "It has nothing to do with me. Just leave that kind of matter to the police. It's not our company's responsibility."
Yuei Vu was surprised.
It turns out that Domino still has polices?!
But President, even if there is a police force, I dont think they can help you!
After all, they can't beat Aigami in playing cards.
What? Does the police station have to play cards when arresting people?
This is really not a joke.
Fudo Yusei, the protagonist of "Yu-Gi-Oh! 5DS", was chased around by police for three days in New Domino City. However, the police could not catch him from beginning to end because they could not win every time he played cards.
"Scan completed."
It was then that the computer emitted a soft electronic beep.
All the components stopped, the laser stopped scanning, and the device stopped functioning, but the Millennium Puzzle was not finished.
"What's going on?" Kaiba said with a cold face.
"The program cannot continue to execute." The computer replied, "The shapes of the final fragments do not match and cannot be assembled."
Kaiba figured out the problem quickly.
Did that guy Aigami secretly replace the pieces of the Millennium Puzzle?
"Aigami!"
President Kaiba, who had said it was none of his business just a second ago, suddenly turned gloomy.
Looks like someone was going to have a tough time.
