Chapter 638 Maze (Ch 638)

When he returned to the starting point for the third time, Ed was sure that this was indeed a maze.
He was not sure if this was aimed at him, but he had undoubtedly stepped into a trap. A maze in the dark, with intricate walls surrounding him like layers of shackles.
After trying to find his way around the maze for a while, he found that he had completely lost his way. Ed gradually lost his patience.
“Come On! Destiny Hero, the Strong One!”
A Destiny Hero monster responded to his call and appeared on the field. Ed waved his hand, and the Destiny Hero punched the wall beside him. The strange force directly penetrated the wall, leaving a huge hole.
Ed stepped out through the hole in the wall.
“I don’t know who you are, or whether you can hear me. But if you think that an ambush of this magnitude can defeat me, you are naive.”
Ed said calmly.
“This trick won’t work. You can show up now.”
But his words sank into the darkness, like a stone sinking into the sea, without any response.
“Okay.” Ed shrugged. “Looks like I’ll have to get you out myself then.”
He waved his hand again. The stubborn man shouted and punched again. The maze wall was penetrated again.
It is indeed a crude and simple method. If you can’t find a way out, create one. As long as you keep opening in the same direction, you will always be able to get out sooner or later.
This is indeed a good idea.
But when Ed stepped out after an unknown number of walls were blasted through, he was stunned.
The scene that appeared behind the wall completely caught him off guard.
It was a studio.
The man wearing glasses was sitting at the table, working attentively. The little boy with silver hair was lying beside the table, staring at what the man was holding with anticipation.
“Okay, let’s see how this works.”
The man with glasses picked up the drawing board with a smile and handed it to the little boy beside him. The child stretched out his tender little hand to take it, and when he saw the tall and handsome hero image on the drawing board, there seemed to be light in his eyes…
“Dad… Dad?”
Ed couldn’t help but take two steps forward and said in a trembling voice.
That was his father. Walking into this room was like walking into his own memories from many years ago. His father’s smile was so vivid, and even the excitement he felt as a child when he got the hero designed by his father…
“No.”
He suddenly came to his senses, forced himself to pull himself out before indulging in memories, and shook his head vigorously.
“This isn’t true. It can’t be true.”
Ed turned around suddenly, only to see that the wall behind him that he had just punched a hole through had already returned to its original state. How could there be any hole in the wall?
He soon realized that this maze was not that simple.
Either what he saw was an illusion and it was never real. Or, this maze itself was actually a supernatural creation, just like the barrier of the Dark Game.
If it is a dark duel, then the way to break the barrier is usually to defeat the person who initiated it through a duel.
If it is other types of dark games, the forms will be varied.
For example, in DM, Wang Yang plays a maze game with Shadi, the holder of a thousand-year-old artifact from Egypt. The way to solve Wang Yang’s mental maze is to find the only real room.
Of course, Xia Di never found the real room in the end. Because even Wang Yang himself didn’t know the answer…
“Knight of Hanno, huh? I don’t know what this trick is, but you’ve got the wrong guy.”
Ed said coldly.
“You think a maze can trap me?”
“Do you expect me to panic at this level?”
“You know nothing at all. You have no idea what I’ve been through!”
boom!
The tenacious man swung his fist again, and another wall was pierced.
“I will find the exit and find you out.” Ed said loudly, “And you’d better not let me find out that you have anything to do with the Ultimate D card, otherwise…”
As he walked into the next room, his words stopped abruptly and his pupils contracted.
This place has become a cemetery.
It was pouring rain, and young Ed stood alone in front of his father’s tombstone, his eyes lost and dazed.
A black umbrella appeared above his head.
Ed turned around unexpectedly and saw the man who had come to his side without him noticing.
That was Saiou Takuma.
“There is no rain that will not stop.” Sai Wang said softly, “No matter how strong the storm is, it will stop at some point.”
Ed looked back at him in surprise.
“Just wait.” Sai Wang said to him gently, “The storm will eventually pass.”
Ed looked down.
“But…how long do we have to wait?”
“I don’t know. But until then, I will hold an umbrella for you.”
That was his first encounter with Saiou.
“What do you want to say?”
Ed yelled.
“Are you trying to say that you know everything about me and Saiou!?”
Although he said this, he was actually quite shocked in his heart.
If this wasn’t a mental ability like telepathy, if this wasn’t something his own brain was showing him, but was really some kind of barrier created by supernatural power…
So why does the other party know such details about this matter?
This scene happened many years ago, and he was sure that there were only him and King Sai in the cemetery. Why would anyone know about this scene and this incident?
And what is the purpose of the other party showing him these?
To demonstrate the omniscience of the Knights of Hanoi?
No, it’s just a trick. Or maybe it’s really just an illusion that your brain is showing you.
“Drink!”
The tenacious man shouted and blasted through another wall. Ed kept moving forward, but his steps began to stumble.
After crashing out of the cemetery, he came to a new scene. The sudden switch from darkness to a brightly lit room made it difficult for him to see the scene clearly.
Ed barely stood still, squinted his eyes, and found that it was many years ago again. He was still his childhood self, sitting at the table. The young King was sitting across the table, flipping open a tarot card.
“An upright Devil card,” Saiou said, “meaning evil, injustice, temptation, and bondage. This is the fate I will encounter, and the ruined future that awaits me.
Unfortunately, although I can foresee this future, I have no idea what exactly will happen.”
Little Ed was confused and seemed to understand what was being said.
Then he clenched his fist.
“Then if…if one day, you, King Sai, encounter a strong wind and heavy rain, then this time, it will be my turn to hold the umbrella for you.”
“Open a big umbrella!”
The King smiled softly.
“Then it’s up to you, Ed.”
“……”
Ed shook his head vigorously, shaking off these thoughts.
“Show me all this for what?”
“come out!”
“Don’t you dare to face me!?”
A voice sounded in the darkness.
“Nothing.”
The leader of the Hanoi Knights, Revolver, slowly emerged from nowhere in the darkness.
“I just want to remind you, Saiou Takuma, that the friend you promised to help is in need of help now.”
