Yu-Gi-Oh!, the Roar of the Weak

Chapter 276 Hypocrisy

However, this Rabillins seems to be just as difficult to deal with as described in the setting book. The last time I contacted her, she was putting on makeup behind a thin curtain. The three-dimensional and square dressing table contrasted sharply with her graceful figure, making people's blood boil.

This time it's even worse. She just pulled up a curtain and started showering right in front of me. That's too much! Why did she pull up a curtain? Is she afraid I'll see her face?

No, you're a card sprite now, of course everyone knows what you look like. Many gentlemen have definitely admired your card art in detail, except for me, Di Xing, of course, really, I'm not kidding.

"So, why are you contacting me again? Let me make this clear first: the city rules do stipulate that helping the city overcome a crisis can earn citizenship, but your achievements in defeating the Ancient Mechanical Giant and the Necromancer King Evil Eye only grant citizenship to those two individuals, and I've already granted you that."

"Yes, I appreciate that. I contacted you today for something else, and I hope..."

Upon hearing Dixing's request, Labyrinth, who was behind the curtain, paused in his bathing.

"You're going to go this far?"

That's right.

"Heh, that's interesting. Why do you do so much for people you don't even know? And you're not even from this world, are you? Is it worth sacrificing so much for the people of this world?"

Di Xing scratched his head, looking somewhat troubled. "To be honest, I don't know either. Maybe it's because I'm such a pushover."

"Hehe," Labilins suddenly turned around in the bathtub, his sexy figure facing Di Xing, who couldn't help but swallow.

Have you ever considered that this might not actually be your own thought?

"what?"

"Your plan is amazing, and it is indeed a rare way to break the deadlock. But in your own world, you are just an ordinary person, right? Have you ever thought about why your abilities have improved so quickly after coming to this world?"

Di Xing was drawn to this topic, and the question "Why?" often lingered in his mind.

"Because you possess the power of Sisyphus, this ability will allow you to approach success without limit and will enhance all your abilities. That's what Sisyphus wants you to do, and what countless predecessors who failed want you to do. But is that what you truly desire?"

Di Xing pondered for a moment. Was his desire to liberate the oppressed imposed upon him by others? Was his desire to help these suffering people the will of others?

Di Xing glanced at Rabillins behind the curtain. Although he couldn't see her expression, Di Xing guessed that it must be filled with a mocking smile.

Immediately, Di Xing also let out a "pfft" laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Labilins seemed somewhat displeased.

"I'm happy, but it's not that I'm happy because you seem to know everything. I'm not a completely ordinary person in my own world either."

"What?" Labilins was somewhat surprised, but then scoffed, "Are you trying to trick me?"

Di Xing shrugged. "Say what you will, but I do have an answer to your question."

"Oh?"

"Whether this idea is mine or not, he is right, and that's enough."

"Hahahaha!" Labilins burst into laughter, his slender waist almost bending over with mirth. "What an idiot! I've granted your request. Looks like we'll have to fight someday. I'll be waiting for you at the highest point of Durum Durum."

"I won't keep you waiting too long."

The communication was cut off, and the door to the room was slowly pushed open, revealing Bai Yiqi, who was wearing bandages and sunglasses.

Di Xing sat comfortably in the chair. "You're still in my house?"

"Your place is the safest now," Bai Yiqi said, leaning against the door.

"You heard our conversation just now?"

"I heard that, and I also want to ask that question: Was it worth it for you to do this?"

"I was about to ask you that too, aren't you a time traveler too?"

"Hehe, unfortunately I'm not."

"What?! You're not planning to contradict the established storyline, are you? The readers will be furious!"

"I've never given you a direct answer to that question. Your guess that I'm a time traveler is just that—a guess. But while I'm not a time traveler, I could be considered half a time traveler."

"???"

"A long time ago, on the day I was about to be killed by the scum of the upper class, a person who looked exactly like me appeared before me. He saved me, but was injured and died himself. After his death, his body turned into points of light and merged into my body, and I gained the memories of your world."

Wow, this concept is pretty new!

"He was a fanatical revolutionary. When he used the Rush Raptor deck, I could feel that the cards hadn't even been imbued with spirits; they were completely soulless blank cards. And he filled the card spirits with his own soul."

"Holy crap, that's amazing!"

"I inherited his power and cards, and imitated his soul. I want to live on with his legacy, even though sometimes I don't understand his thoughts."

"Later, the true spirit of a raptor transferred into his deck, and the entire deck possessed the power of card spirits. Based on his idea, I also formed the Resistance."

“But this is not my wish. This idea of ​​rebellion was given to me by someone else.” Bai Yiqi took off her sunglasses, revealing her gentle face again, like a work of art. “As for myself, I just want to live a peaceful life. I originally thought that people in your world all had the same iron will and steel-like resilience as that person, but you are not. You are just like me, very ordinary. So why do you continue to fight?”

"So everyone's already said I'm a pushover, or rather, a hypocrite?"

"Heh. You remind me of someone from his memory, I think his name was... Emiya Shirou."

"No, I don't like Shirou." As someone who had played the original Fate (FSN) game, Di Xing loved the cool design of Fate, but he just couldn't bring himself to like Shirou, the main character.

"Oh? Isn't Emiya Shirou also portrayed as a hypocrite?"

"Let me put it this way, if I and the coyote rushed into a fire to save a kitten but I ended up seriously injured, and then we were interviewed afterwards, the coyote would be genuinely proud, while I would regret it so much I'd slap myself. I was so stupid, really."

"You wouldn't have said that if she were a beautiful woman."

"Seeing through something but not saying it, that's what makes us good brothers."

""Ha ha ha ha""

Seeing that Bai Yiqi still seemed a little confused, Di Xing continued...

"Let me tell you a story. I have a good friend named Wang Dazhuang. We went to the same elementary school. He's also a die-hard Fate fan, so he especially loves the Holy Sword deck. When he was little, he would often run around the house with his only Holy Sword card, pretending to be a hero of justice."

Later, his policeman cousin bought him a complete deck of Holy Sword cards as a birthday present, patted his head, and said with a smile, "These cards are all virtual, you know. They can't protect you. Only a policeman like me can protect you."

"Later, a vengeful individual stormed into our elementary school with a knife. Wang Dazhuang's cousin sacrificed himself to protect us. That day after school, Wang Dazhuang stood alone in the blood-stained classroom, clutching his Holy Sword deck, and wept. Wang Dazhuang realized who had truly protected him, but all he had left was this Holy Sword deck."

Bai Yiqi listened to the story quietly, remaining silent.

"Now, Wang Dazhuang has become a Holy Sword deck user aiming to get into police academy. He firmly holds onto his past self and is moving towards a completely new self. The Holy Sword Wang Dazhuang is him, and the police officer Wang Dazhuang will also be him."

A sobbing sound came from the room, but it wasn't Bai Yiqi's; it was Lei Xi's. "So touching!"

"I didn't expect you to be good at ideological work," Nami mocked.

"It's just that the language isn't concise enough, not as good as the guys on Tieba," Ai Xiao said with a grin.

Di Xing's harem, oh no, his companions, were all gathered in this small room.

Li Fei Hua Yue said calmly, "I never imagined you were planning to make such a huge sacrifice behind our backs. You're just as foolish as my sister."

"Brother, I will always be with you," Ruan Nuo said firmly.

"Me too," Aria, leaning on her crutches, was practically making the same gesture as Zhang Fei.

“Aria, you can’t do this,” Vitty sighed, rubbing her forehead. “But Dixing, don’t even think about carrying so many burdens behind our backs, or I’ll feed you to the whales.”

"You guys," Di Xing sighed helplessly, "then please take good care of us."
