Chapter 221 The aggrieved Duan Feng
A dark space.
The touch of the body is vague, and the unpleasant metallic texture occasionally appears in the perception. It is probably the doctor who is touching himself.
Duan Feng’s consciousness floats here.
This place... is probably his consciousness space.
He actually didn't know, because he rarely came here since he grew up - after all, this was the first time he had encountered such a thing as being knocked unconscious.
Lost... It was not a dream. I really lost, and I lost so embarrassingly. I was knocked unconscious and there was no dignity at all.
This seems to be the first time since he was born.
If he had used all his strength from the beginning...
Duan Feng fell into silence.
There was only silence in the darkness, and he could almost hear his own heartbeat.
I don’t know how long it took before he chuckled.
Forget it, he can't lie to himself.
If you can't win, you can't win. There is no need to make such excuses... He has already tried his best. The so-called full strength is just adding Aqiu. But if you say this, Yu Cang has never used all his strength. Too much effort?
You must know that in this duel, Yu Cang watched the battle for a long time with full soul energy, and the number of dragon scales on the field was even greater. Although at the beginning, he was indeed about to Cang La was in trouble, but after that, Yu Cang was able to handle it with ease.
Even thinking about it now, at the beginning, Yu Cang probably had a way to break the game at any time... After all, his dragon scales can activate that kind of "fusion" power.
There are already six dragon scales on the field at the beginning. Even if he doesn't summon the Saint of Trap, Yu Cang will definitely have a backup plan.
What's more... In the end, he activated Critical Mass Maximum and manipulated the chaotic convection triggered by the Light and Dark Contradiction Dragon. He had already used Aqiu's power. That attack was already his full strength. , but still failed without any suspense.
In fact, his deck was continuously improved by countless senior card makers, but Yu Cang's deck was made by himself... Thinking about it this way, the gap seems to be even bigger.
I lost completely... Just as Yu Cang said, I was beaten by him.
Duan Feng's mind recalled what Duan Zhang once said to him.
"Feng'er, don't always think about comparing yourself with your peers."
"You are the one who wants to join the mythology. Sooner or later, they will be stepped on by you. You can be friends, but remember not to Let's talk."
"Have you read "The Legend of Emperor Chang'an"?"
"That's the person you want to be."
...
“Heh.” Duan Feng chuckled.
Just now, you must have been watching too, seeing that I lost.
Now, are you still dreaming about what kind of myth I will become?
......That's right, you don't care about this kind of thing.
You don't care about anything except your family and your "career".
So what if I lose?
The next day, what he heard outside would probably still be the news of his victory. Duan Zhang’s plan would still proceed in an orderly manner. Every step forward for him had been planned in advance. You can't choose anything you want.
......
Duan Feng's fists couldn't help but clenched.
myth? Bullshit!
Just because of the same talent, do you have to follow the same path and become the same person?
He wants to become a myth, but that is his, Duan Feng, his own future, not the dream you gave me!
Why do you all think that I can only become a myth by relying on this companion soul?
If you really think so, why didn't you just drown Duan Feng to death and let Aqiu be someone else's shadow? !
...
“Feng?”
Duan Feng’s heart trembled.
A familiar voice came from behind, and he recognized it. It was Aqiu's voice, and it was also his own voice.
“Feng, is this why you have been unwilling to fight alongside me?”
"..."
"Turn around."
Duan Feng took a deep breath and did not turn around, but opened his eyes.
It was dark in front of me, but there was a faint light coming from behind, which was the light of the soul.
He remembered that when he was a child, before he had read "The Biography of Emperor Chang'an" and before he knew so many things, he often came to play in the consciousness space.
Because then, only here could he see his only friend.
In a trance, some pictures seemed to flash before my eyes.
......
"Who are you?"
"I am Duan Feng."
"You are talking nonsense, I am Duan Feng!"
The young Duan Feng looked at the soul floating in front of him, his eyes full of curiosity.
This guy... looks like those man-eating ghosts mentioned in the book.
But I wonder why I am not afraid of him.
Obviously I was scared to death when I read those stories.
"I'm not a ghost!" Aqiu said angrily, "I am you! How can anyone be afraid of myself?"
"Eh? Can you hear what I am thinking?"
"This is our inner world, of course I can hear it."
"Well... okay." Duan Feng scratched his head.
I don’t know why, but when Aqiu said “I am you”, he believed it easily in his heart.
"But I can't call you Duan Feng...it's weird."
"Then what do you want to call me?"
"Well, let me think about it...right, Dad said that there are many hills near every mountain. How about I call you Duanqiu? "
" No." Aqiu curled his lips.
"Then I'll call you Aqiu. This will make you appear closer~" Duan Feng naturally knew what Aqiu was thinking.
"Hmm...Okay, then I'll call you Feng."
"Okay!" Duan Feng smiled.
This is his first friend.
……
Time passed unconsciously for a long time.
Aqiu didn't know when he could come out of the consciousness space and move around freely.
I don’t know since when, Duan Feng has never returned to this consciousness space.
“No.” Duan Feng denied, “I simply feel that the opponent I encountered does not need your help.”
“…I can hear what you are thinking now. "
Duan Feng curled his lips secretly: "Then you still ask me."
"For such a childish reason?" Aqiu seemed very angry, "Do you know how long I have been in this stupid place? Do you know how much I hope there can be another battle? You are getting your wish, you are not bound Now, you are free, what about me? You can go anywhere in the world, but I only have this dark space to stay in! Do you know how I have lived these past few years?"
paragraph Feng was silent.
His eyes seemed to flicker, his lips trembled slightly, and he didn't say a word for a while.
In the end, he could only speak in a very small voice:
"I'm sorry...but I said, there will be a day, it will..."
"Duan Feng, I can hear what you are thinking now."
"..."
Aqiu walked around to Duan Feng, but Duan Feng just lowered his head silently. Go see Aqiu.
"Duan Feng, I am you. If you are not even willing to look directly at yourself, how can you talk about rising to the level of mythology on your own?"
"That is someone else's path..."
"Why, does Emperor Chang'an also have Aqiu in his mind?"
"..."
"Have you been calling the name Aqiu for too long? Forgot." Aqiu came closer and asked, "My name is also Duan Feng?"
Duan Feng was speechless. His lips trembled for a long time before he said calmly: "Give me a little more time... I will definitely do it." Will find the right way..."
"..."
This time, Aqiu was silent.
After a while, he chuckled.
“Forget it.” Aqiu took a few steps back, “Feng, I have to leave for a while.”
“Leave?” Duan Feng suddenly opened his eyes wide. He raised his head, seemingly in disbelief, "But you are my accompanying soul...where can you go?"
"Didn't you hear it already?" Aqiu's face calmed down, "I I’m going to Jieying Campus, there’s something I want there… I can’t just do nothing while I’m waiting for you.”
"But you are my accompanying soul, where can you go..."
"Don't worry." Aqiu said, "Jieying Campus is a place where sights gather. There is no concept of distance in the usual sense here, as long as I entered the Jieying Campus in the ancient capital, so you won’t be affected no matter where you go.”
“But, but...”
“Anyway, you won’t need me. "
Looking at Duan Feng's sudden loss, Aqiu really felt a little funny.
What Yu Cang said was indeed correct.
Feng, never realized what it feels like to lose yourself.
"Yu Cang? Why are you thinking about him?" Duan Feng was completely panicked now, "Wait, please tell me clearly, what do you mean I will lose you?"
"I didn't I said so." Aqiu calmed down his expression and thoughts.
“I can hear what you are thinking!!”
"You heard wrong." Aqiu said expressionlessly.
Jieying Campus is indeed a good place.
If there, it should be possible.
Hmph, I should have done this a long time ago... Yu Cang is indeed much better than Feng.
Aqiu thought this in his heart. Duan Feng was completely panicked after hearing this.
Wait, what do you mean? ! What does it mean that Yu Cang is much better than me... Damn it, he just beat me once. What do you mean by thinking that?
When it comes to card making... it's bad. It seems that I can't compare to him in card making, not to mention that my card making skills actually come from Aqiu.
When I think about it, it seems that except for my family background, I am not as good as Yu Cang at all... With Duan Feng's pride, he naturally disdains to use his life experience to crush Yu Cang, but This made him even more panicked.
He looked at Aqiu who was sneering, not knowing what to say.
You won't abandon yourself and go to Yu Cang... It's impossible, you are my companion soul! You can't live without me!
Duan Feng was heartbroken.
Wait a minute, he just said that Jieying Campus should be able to do it... Damn it, you should make it clear what it can do!
For a moment, Duan Feng was thinking wildly, and for the first time, he felt a sense of fear.
Aqiu is my only friend!
Since he was a child, Duan Zhang has had strict requirements for his social circle. He can have friends, but those friends have to go through layers of screening before they can be contacted by him.
What they want is just the status of "friend", not to be his friend Duan Feng.
It's okay to talk and play together in normal times, but whenever he wants to have a close relationship, wants to play better, wants to have some "brothers"...those so-called friends will immediately keep it secret, no matter what The following.
Duan Zhang has a lot of ideas
Besides Aqiu, who else is willing to talk to Duan Feng about their inner feelings.
Aqiu has always been by his side since childhood, making him accustomed to Aqiu's existence. He never thought that he would lose Aqiu...except today, except now.
So, he could no longer maintain his usual calmness and confidence. He took a few steps forward and was about to question Aqiu when he saw Aqiu trembling and disappearing from the spot.
For a moment, the words that reached his lips had no one to talk to. Duan Feng froze on the spot for a moment. The space of his consciousness was dark and empty, turning into an indelible emptiness that surrounded him.
"Ah...Aqiu?" Duan Feng asked tentatively.
"Aqiu?...Aqiu!"
...
In the ward.
Open!
Duan Feng opened his eyes in an instant and stood up from the bed.
"Aqiu——"
Duan Feng suddenly paused.
He looked to the side. Duan Ao and a doctor were standing next to him. Behind him, there were many people from the Duan family, including some young-looking nurses.
Seeing this scene, although Duan Feng was already covered in cold sweat, he quickly calmed down and his expression returned to calmness.
It’s not that he wants to show off.
But he knows that...as a "future myth", once he makes a fool of himself in front of outsiders and shows himself as inappropriate as he is now...then people who see this scene will not What a happy ending.
Forget it if it were elsewhere, Duan Zhang's control was not so deep and the situation was not that serious, but now, his second uncle was present.
He knew very well that despite Duan Ao's amiable appearance, he was ruthless and paranoid secretly.
Whether Duan Ao would take action against those unfamiliar doctors because his ugly appearance was revealed, he was not sure, and he had no intention of taking a gamble.
"How are you, Feng'er?" Duan Ao came up with a concerned expression on his face. Anyone would think that he was just a kind elder.
"...I'm fine, let's get out."
"That's good, that's good... You guys, I have nothing to do with you here, just go out."
The Duan family members nodded and walked out together. The doctor was also very sensible. He put away his things and left.
Duan Feng raised his eyes and looked at Duan Ao: "And you, go out too."
"...Hahaha, Feng'er is really good at joking." Duan Ao laughed a few times. He made a loud noise and sat down next to the hospital bed, "Did you just call... Aqiu? What, are you having a conflict?"
"No."
"Speaking of which, at the end of the duel." Duan Ao's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was an inexplicable coldness in his smile, "Aqiu...didn't he obey your order?"
"No. Duan Feng frowned slightly, "Did you use the shield again?"
Duan Ao's face was still full of smiles: "Of course...but it was used by the doctor for examination. No way."
"...Okay." Duan Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately... Aqiu was temporarily disconnected because of the jammer. He thought it was really Aqiu who didn't want to pay attention to him.
"But... Feng'er." The smile on Duan Ao's face faded slightly, "It's time for you to make a choice... Emperor Changan has been unwilling to show up to accept you as his disciple. This in itself is enough to explain the problem. How about Directly..."
"I said, no need." Duan Feng's expression remained unchanged, as if he already knew what Duan Ao was going to say, "Aqiu is just my companion."
He knows that there have always been concerns in the family about his talent.
It is said that when he was born, a mysterious man appeared and said that he would have the gift of soul companionship that was rare in a thousand years and wanted to accept him as his disciple.
But how could Duan Zhang easily trust such a person, so he did not agree.
Who knew that it would actually be like this after he was born, and when Duan Zhang went back to look for him, that person had already disappeared.
So there has always been a thorn in Duan Zhang's heart.
That companion soul, Aqiu...could it be a trap set by that mysterious man, who wanted to use Duan Feng's body to do some ulterior things?
After all, except Di Changan, no one knows what the companion soul talent should be like, and no one dares to be sure that Aqiu is really Duan Feng's companion soul.
Gathering forces in the name of Duan Feng, laying out the plans at every level, also means to fight against the mysterious man.
After all, if Duan Feng's talent is fake, then the Duan family has invested resources all the way, and if the mysterious man picks the peaches, they will completely lose money. But if forces are gathered in the name of Duan Feng, even if the mysterious man triggers the plan, their Duan family There will also be this force, so we won’t suffer a total loss.
When the general trend is achieved, Duan Feng's name will no longer be important - the real vested interests are still the Duan family.
When Duan Feng was just born, Duan Zhang once applied to meet with Emperor Chang'an and asked about the soul companion talent, but was rejected. However, as long as the alliance of the four major families gathers momentum, it may not be impossible to take advantage of the situation. Emperor Chang is in peace, everything will be known by then.
Furthermore, the mysterious man may not be afraid of the Duan family, but now that the four major families are united, the mysterious man must think carefully if he wants to pick peaches - after all, this is equivalent to touching everyone's cake.
This is the decision Duan Zhang made, believing that it would benefit the family the most. If not, he would not want his children to be involved in so many troubles.
As for this shield... it is a means to temporarily block the companion soul's perception.
"Feng'er." Duan Ao said, "Don't lie to my second uncle. In the end, Aqiu was clearly disobeying your order... Why don't we choose a safer approach and directly transfer this so-called The accompanying soul will be refined..."
"I said it." Duan Feng did not hesitate at all, "I will not agree to this plan."
"...Okay, if so. If you change your mind, you can tell Uncle Er at any time.”
“You don’t have to worry about it.”
"Okay." Duan Ao sighed, "By the way, Feng'er, when you are in good condition, remember to tell me that I will arrange for you to meet Yu Cang."
Duan Feng was stunned. But he soon understood.
One battle to clear up grudges... The duel is over, and now it’s time to "let go of grudges."
Just in time... He would like to ask Yu Cang what nonsense he told Aqiu!
Looking at Duan Feng whose expression changed slightly, Duan Ao sighed.
"Feng'er." He said, "It doesn't matter if you lose this time. I will ask the card maker to study Yu Cang's duel video. Next time, your deck will definitely beat him!"
"Hmm...huh?"
Duan Feng was stunned.
He looked at Duan Ao and said with some uncertainty: "I...lost?"
"Yes." Duan Ao seemed to have difficulty speaking, "Feng'er...that, There are a lot of people paying attention to this competition between you, and Yu Cang’s status is also very special. We can’t directly declare that you have won... Don’t feel pressured,”
The weight of the Flame Emperor Medal was too heavy. Even if Ye Laidu had already struck the imperial capital with one sword, Duan Zhang would still have to hold his nose and swallow.
I can’t afford to offend you.
Hearing this, Duan Feng was stunned on the spot.
This time... did I really lose?
Heh...haha...hahahahaha!
In Duan Ao's baffled eyes, Duan Feng suddenly laughed, and the sound became louder and more cheerful!
Okay, okay...it turns out that winning or losing this time is not meaningless.
Duan Zhang, I finally met someone who makes you feel embarrassed!
For the first time, he finally felt that he had taken a step in his life. Although he lost and might have embarrassed himself in some circles, he was very happy.
From his unchanging future, he finally saw a trace of fluctuation.
Yu Cang... It seems that you are more powerful than imagined.
He suddenly felt a little grateful to Cang, but soon he felt even more aggrieved.
No, I’m grateful for what he did!
He wants to take away his Aqiu! Why, you still have to let me thank you?
Dream!
Duan Feng gritted his teeth silently in his heart, but on the surface, his smile only softened slightly.
“Huh?” Looking at Duan Feng with this expression, Duan Ao blinked, somewhat confused.
But...it's okay, there's no pressure.
So he stood up: "Okay Feng'er, then I won't disturb your rest."
"Remove the jammer."
"Don't worry, I will."
Duan Ao left the room.
Half a sound.
The air was distorted, and Aqiu's figure appeared beside the bed.
"...What are you talking about again." There was no expression on Aqiu's face.
"It's still the same, normal physical examination." Duan Feng exposed the problem and asked eagerly, "Aqiu, tell me, what exactly did Yu Cang say to you?"
"..." Aqiu seemed to sigh, "Feng, Yu Cang has card-making technology that transcends the times. I want to learn it."
Duan Feng said quickly: "Then you won't..."
< br>"Not what?"
"No, no." Duan Feng seemed to find it difficult to say. He clenched his teeth and hesitated for a long time before saying, "You won't leave me, will you?"
"...Ha."
Duan Feng said anxiously: "You...you can't do this, you are my only friend!"
"Don't be childish." Aqiu snorted. .
He pressed Duan Feng back on the hospital bed: "You are also my only friend."
Hearing this, Duan Feng was stunned for a moment, and then he looked overjoyed. He was about to say something, I heard Aqiu say again:
"However, you haven't considered my feelings for so long, so this time, you can't expect me to care about you - I will stay at Jieying Campus and come to me when you truly understand yourself. "
"Then I will stay in the ancient capital..."
"I won't see you if you stay here," Aqiu said, "If you continue like this, you will always be so childish. "
"...What are you doing?" Duan Feng's eyes widened slightly. Looking at Aqiu's tone, a sense of grievance gradually accumulated in his heart.
He refrained from showing it, "How can you call me naive..."
"Haha." Aqiu laughed.
