Chapter 810: Secret Mission
The helicopter landed on the top floor of Kaiba Corp's headquarters at two o'clock in the morning even though the group building was still brightly lit at this point.
Unsurprisingly, Mokuba was already waiting on the top of the building. Standing upright behind him was Isono, the loyal bodyguard of the Kaiba family.
"Sorry for asking you to work overtime so late." Yuei Vu jumped off the plane.
"It's okay." Mokuba waved his hands grandly, "I'm very happy to be able to help Brother Yuei Vu."
As he spoke, he led Yuei Vu into the building. The automatic door slid open after the smart lock verified their identities. The two walked into the building, with Uncle Isono following behind at a certain distance.
"President Kaiba isn't here again?"
Yuei Vu felt that the president seemed to be getting busier and busier recently, and no one else was around when he came to the company headquarters several times.
"Going on a business trip again?"
"No." Mokuba said with shame, "My brother heard that Yugi is back, and I have been trying to stop him from dueling recently. For some reason, my brother has been talking about Yugi since he came back from your Duel Academy last time, seems to be more interested in finding Yugi to duel with than before
By the way, Brother Yuei Vu, do you know what's going on? "
".I have no idea."
Yuei Vu thought of the "Gandora the Dragon of Destruction" that he had given Judai and Manjome before they started fighting, so he just pretended to lie as if nothing had happened.
Judging from the results, he felt that his operation should be given full marks. Ever since Judai defeated Manjome that time, the president had not mentioned playing cards with him for a long time. He guessed that the president's head was full of Yugi these days and he had no time to think about anything else.
This wave was called hatred transfer.
By sacrificing Yugi as a target, he gained his hard-earned leisure time under the nose of the president.
"Let's not talk about this for now." Yuei Vu went straight to the topic, "What did you say about Hibiki Koyo?"
"Oh."
Mokuba handed him the tablet he had prepared. Yuei Vu took it and what was displayed was the news report from that year.
Reports said that the second-generation Duel King Hibiki Koyo suddenly fell ill and fell into a coma while on vacation abroad, and was sent to a local hospital for emergency treatment. However, the specific process was unclear, and the specific matters were not explained clearly.
"This was the original statement made to the outside world, but it is not the truth."
Mokuba helped Yuei Vu turn the screen to the next page.
It was a photo of a paper document with the words "Top Secret" printed on it. The signed unit is the special government agency called "Department D" a special department specially established by superiors to deal with supernatural phenomena after the Doma incident.
"Since its establishment, Department D has been trying to attract top duelists from all walks of life, hoping that the power of those masters can be used by them. Their leader Fujino will contact my brother every three days and often discuss cooperation matters between Kaiba Corp and their department. "
Mokuba obviously didn't like Fujino very much, and his tone was full of dissatisfaction when he talked about him.
He always felt that this guy coveted something from the Kaiba Corp, but he didn't know what it was
"The terms they offered are indeed very generous, and many duelists are indeed willing to work for them." Mokuba said, "There are signs that Mr. Hibiki Koyo had this intention.
Although Mr. Koyo did not accept the invitation to become an agent after winning the title of Duel King, there is a cooperative relationship between him and the department.
Sometimes Department D will encounter some troubles that are difficult to handle. At this time, they will ask Mr. Koyo to help solve it. But Mr. Koyo is not interested in reward, he just hopes to be helpful. "
"Sounds like SHIELD and Captain America." Yuei Vu said.
"What?" Mokuba didn't understand.
"Nothing, you continue."
"Oh. Let's talk about Mr. Koyo's last mission This was originally highly confidential, but the people in our group in the department helped us get it."
It was not that easy even for the Kaiba Corp, which almost ruled the world, to place one's own people in such a department. Mokuba didn't know why, but the person in charge named Fujino had a surprisingly good attitude towards the Kaiba Corp, which made many things a lot easier.
Yuei Vu continued to read backward and had already browsed the general content of the file.
"Archaeology." Yuei Vu raised his eyebrows, "Archaeology again?"
Archaeologists have now become a famous group in various animated film and television works, and were commonly known as "Instigators of Doom". You never know which day someone in any corner of the world would dig up something that should not be unearthed, and the world would be destroyed directly
"Well, the cause of the matter was that an archaeological team dug up a certain object." Mokuba explained, "This top-secret document only involves the content of Mr. Koyo's mission. Because the participants in the mission do not need to know what the object is, so it is not mentioned in it.
In short, it was described as an extremely dangerous object, which shocked the entire archaeological team the moment it was exposed to the light.
At that time, many people judged that this was beyond the scope of what they could handle. Its level of evil was frightening, and it should be handled by more professional people. "
"So they contacted the government department." Yuei Vu said.
"This is when Department D steps in," Mokuba said, reaching out and turning another page on the screen in Yuei Vu's hand.
"The mission description says this is a simple escort mission. They need to rush to the archaeological site, take over the object from the archaeological team, and transport it back to the headquarters. It's that simple."
"It doesn't sound like a mission that requires the Duel King to take action." Yuei Vu said.
"That's the problem." Mokuba said seriously, "That thing is described by archaeologists as a frighteningly evil' thing no matter what it is, they obviously think that it requires a duel king to be in charge. Something that makes people feel at ease.
"So things didn't go as smoothly as they said?"
"It seems so," Mokuba said. "Their ship encountered rare storms and tsunamis at sea. From subsequent analysis, it was found that it was extremely abnormal weather.
There was no sign that they would encounter a storm, and the cyclone mixed with thunderstorms seemed to only cover the specific area where the transport ship was located. "
Yuei Vu continued to flip back, only to find that the document had reached the last page.
He raised his head: "No more?"
"Yeah, that's all." Mokuba shrugged helplessly, "Their ship rode the wind and waves and passed through the storm back to the headquarters. But Mr. Hibiki Koyo disappeared, and he never came back from that mission.
But at the same time, he was also the only missing person on that mission list. "
"So what happened in the storm?"
"I don't know. There are no relevant written records even within Department Dor maybe we didn't find it."
"What about the archaeological team? What should they know?"
"This is also the weird part." Mokuba looked a little solemn, "Our people carefully investigated the situation of everyone in that team, and found that all of them had accidents after the excavation."
"Everyone had accidents?" Yuei Vu asked curiously.
"Yes. Some people were in car accidents, and others fell and died while riding horses." Mokuba said, "Among the remaining people, two went insane and went to a mental hospital, while others fell ill and are bedridden in the hospital to this day."
This was a bit weird.
This reminded Yuei Vu of the anecdote in DM when the stone tablets of the Three Egyptian Gods were unearthed. Before Pegasus personally took over the production of the three God cards, all the designers who had handled those three slates went crazy and had no good end.
So what exactly did the archaeological team unearth? Whats the connection with Hibiki Koyos disappearance?
"But there is still one person left in that team, who is neither crazy nor dead." Mokuba called up the relevant files, "Koizumi Keita, the captain of that archaeological team.
He has retired early since that incident, but the Kaiba Corp found his current address. Maybe you want to take a look? "
"Give me the address." Yuei Vu said, "I'll go see him."
