Chapter 258 Abiyak
dinner time.
As the host, Ameruda prepared a sumptuous dinner for the three guests. The venue was elegantly decorated, with a long dining table covered with a white tablecloth and exquisite silver tableware. There were roses in a crystal bottle on the table, and the petals were crystal clear under the light.
The host's hospitality soon made You Xuan feel that it was worthwhile to come here just for a free meal. Exquisite French foie gras, Italian ham, perfectly grilled steak, and fragrant pasta. It was said that Ameruda had invited a top chef to prepare today's banquet, and every dish was carefully prepared by the chef.
"But Amerda is still using the old deck."
Keipi said this casually while chatting during dinner.
"I thought. Um. I don't know, you'd want to make a clean break with the past or something."
Ameruda smiled.
"The past was a shackle for me, and I lived for it for the first half of my life. Of course, with your help, I realized that it was all just a lie. Dazhi carefully wove that lie for me, making me willingly become his tool.
This is exactly what my deck was made for.”
Many of the monsters used in Amerda's deck are created using Doma's technology, and are cards born from the darkness in his own heart.
For example, the Kaiba Group weapons that brought war to his hometown, his brother's favorite toy robot, etc. His past experiences and darkest memories are the prototypes of his deck.
"But now I've come out of it." Ameruda smiled and glanced at the deck in his hand, "For me, this deck carries my past, a collection of my memories of my family and my brother, but it is also the power that supports me to keep going.
After all, people always have to move towards the future. Dwelling on the past will never lead to a new life. Instead of always dwelling on what you have lost, it is better to look forward to what you can gain in the future. "
Amerda paused and glanced at Kaiba, "But I believe President Kaiba already knows all this."
Seahorse: "."
Although Haiba remained silent for a while, the words of his old friend emerged in his mind.
This is how Kaiba has lived his entire life. To him, the word "past" only carries pain and tragedy. Only the bright future that he creates with his own hands has meaning.
But it was in the sky arena, during the most unforgettable defeat of his life, that his old enemy said this to him.
"The future will not visit those who have no past." Yami Yugi said at the time, "No matter what the past is, it will not be meaningless. The past is connected to the present and future self."
This was said to Kaiba, and also to himself at that time. Because he had no past at that time, and could not find his past, even if he looked to the future, it would be dark.
Thinking of his old friend, Hai Ma was a little absent-minded for a moment.
If that guy were still alive, would he agree with the future he is connecting to now?
"Tsk, come to think of it, the president is still alone after all these years, is that really okay?" Amerda joked, crossing his legs.
Kaiba deadpanned, "Boring."
After all, the president wants to be the duel king, so feelings are a hindrance. It is also a well-known rule that the card king does not take a partner.
Besides, she has already married for nothing.
In fact, in Youxuan's opinion, the president is a typical male protagonist's nemesis in early youth comics. He appears in a high-profile manner and seems to be on par with the protagonist, but in fact he is not very likely to win. Similar representative characters include the tragedy tower next door.
"Let's get down to business." Kaiba said calmly, "You said you already have some clues. What did you find out?"
Amerda also stopped smiling and sat up straight.
"I received your clues, and we have tracked down a company."
"Enterprise?" Guiping frowned.
"good."
As Amerda spoke, he gestured. Immediately, two subordinates appeared and projected a picture on the screen behind the dining table.
A company building soon emerged in the picture, with a firm and clear outline, each line seemed to be carefully carved, like a giant fortress constructed of glass curtain walls and aluminum alloy frames.
".Abiak?" Guiping frowned and read out the name of the company.
"ABIAK." You Xuan said softly, "The opposite of Kaiba Corporation."
Keiping was surprised: "Ah, it's true. Is this a coincidence or..." "It's not such a coincidence."
Kaiba Seto crossed his fingers and rested his chin on them, sneering.
"Interesting. Is this meant as a provocation?"
"From the name, it's easy to make such an association." Yamiruda said, "And my people have done some research. On the surface, they are an Internet company, but there is no way to find out what they are doing specifically.
But these guys are not to be underestimated.”
"What do you mean?" Keiping asked.
"First, the armed forces." Ameruda said, "My people have tried to contact them, and this company seems to have an extraordinary armed force.
The guns, ammunition, and cutting-edge equipment were even better than the local official armed forces. But we had no idea of their background, nor did we know where they got their weapons from.
even."
Ameruda frowned and paused.
Keiping: "What?"
".They also have some novel high-end equipment." Ameruda said, "Currently, through actual contact with known intelligence, they have a new type of energy rifle that no one has ever seen, a large-scale shock weapon against the nerve center, and so on.
Even stranger is that many of these technologies appear to be
He paused for a few seconds.
But there was no need to continue, Kaiba Seto calmly interrupted: "There is a shadow of Kaiba Group's technology, right?"
Ameruda raised an eyebrow: "Are those your works?"
"No, Kaiba Group hasn't produced weapons in many years, as you know." Kaiba said calmly.
"But do you know what's going on?"
"Perhaps. Everything will be clear after tomorrow."
Kaiba asked instead, not wanting to continue.
"How's the arrangement going?"
Ameruda shrugged. "The building is completely sealed to the outside world, but our reconnaissance personnel have managed to find the only way to sneak in."
He waved his hand and a detailed map appeared on the screen.
"There's a hidden passage in the sewer system underneath that building that can lead you into the building. Going up from there, you'll have access to Abiak's server room, and maybe there's what you're looking for."
Amerda turned his head and said seriously.
"But I still have to warn you, that Abiyak is very strange. The layout of their building is just like a military fortress. There may be murder traps hidden at every step."
"Is that so." Kaiba sneered, not seeming to care.
"It seems like you know what's going on, so I won't say much. I've already arranged the invasion route, and it's up to you to decide what to do after you get in."
Ameruda shrugged.
"But I still have a question." He looked at Kaiba seriously, "Why are you so insistent on going in by yourself? I mean, with Kaiba Seto's resources and strength, there are other ways to deal with it, right?"
Kaiba's face remained calm.
"Because this is the only thing I want to end personally."
