I'm playing cards in Duel City

Just now, You Yu counterattacked the dark energy of this strong man with mental power, and made the other party mistakenly think that he was a high-level dark duelist, relying on the elf power of the black magician girl.

If possessed by an elf, the holder can also exert the power similar to the dark duelist.

This is also the reason why You Yu dared to come to this place.

After passing through the long corridor, they finally came to the end.The strong man stepped forward, stretched out his hand and pushed open the last door blocking the front, and a dazzling light shone over.

A luxurious hall with a completely different style of painting than before, with people coming and going, was immediately revealed in front of the two of them.

The strong man turned his head and smiled at You Yu: "Welcome to the 'Nightcrawler World'."

Chapter 36 Underworld Storm

As mentioned before, the world of Yu-Gi-Oh is actually full of magical colors, black technology, magic, aliens, etc., all kinds of weird things.

What is shown in the anime is just the tip of the iceberg of this world. The holders of several thousand-year-old artifacts in the DM animation are all the leaders of the dark duelists, belonging to the top group of strong men.But this is by no means to say that there are only millennium artifacts in this world that are the source of supernatural power.

For example, Mr. T, whom You Yu had just met before, the Darkness hidden behind him is a dark power that is completely different from the Millennium Artifact.

Another example is the mysterious group "Seven Stars" that appeared in the three magic chapters in Yu-Gi-Oh.Everyone in the group is a dark duelist of a different origin, including elves, vampire descendants, alchemists, and more.

The "Nightcrawler World" that You Yu found at this moment is exactly the place where such people gather.

To put it simply, this is a club for dark duelists, a bit like the League of Killers.

Members here sometimes accept some commissions through the club as a platform to complete some gray tasks.

The loser in the dark game must obey the winner according to the established rules, and a sufficiently high-level ability user can completely turn the loser into his own puppet.If you have this kind of power, you can easily make people in important positions or have important values ​​compel obedience, and help people easily achieve some special goals.

And if you want to use the dark game to erase someone, you can completely drag the person into the darkness from body to soul, without leaving any clues at all, and there is no way to find out with conventional means.

Even if some dark duelists have the power of Darkness, then he can even completely erase the existence of a certain person through dark games, including the memory of relatives and friends, and no one will even notice that such a person came from The world disappeared.

Nowadays, many high-class people who know the secrets in the world actually know the existence of dark games.The organization of the Dark Duelists has no restrictions on nationality or influence. If one must say something, they maintain a nearly neutral attitude and never deliberately favor any side.

They will fight for any country or individual who offers the right price, and they have maintained good cooperative relations with many countries and forces.

It feels a little bit like a mercenary, but it's different.

People outside the circle take a respectful attitude towards the dark duelists, because the dark duelists with extraordinary power are mysterious and strong from the perspective of ordinary people.

However, in the GX period, there seemed to be some ordinary people who pretended to be dark duelists to cheat money by using some tricks such as blindfold hypnosis.

Just like the Uncle Titan who was hired by GX to come to the Dueling Academy to duel with Yucheng Judai in the early stage, he pretended to be a dark duel by means of light refraction and hypnosis, but in the end he was debunked by Judai.

The era that You Yu is in now is before the opening of Yu-Gi-Oh DM's Duel City Chapter.

Prior to this, the unique king of the underground world of the Dark Duelists was the founder of the card game "Duel Monsters", Bekas J. Cloverdo.

Bekas possesses the "Millennium Eye", one of the seven thousand-year-old artifacts of ancient Egypt. It possesses extremely strong dark power, and it also has the ability to see through the opponent's mind "mind scanning". There is absolutely no doubt that it is the top grade in the world capable person.

Bekas visited Egypt and got the Millennium Eye, which gave him terrifying and powerful strength. At the same time, under the guidance of the Millennium Eye, he carved the stone slabs of monsters that were passed down thousands of years ago into cards, and invented a card game called "Duel Monsters". , which became popular all over the world and became one of the most famous upper class people in the world.

As a game designer, he specially printed a set of invincible "cartoon card sets" for himself, coupled with the mind-reading ability of the Millennium Eye and the powerful dark power, Bekas easily ascended to the throne of the king of the underground world, and in many For a long time, he became the only king recognized by the dark duelists all over the world.

During that time, Bekas' International Illusion Society Consortium and its affiliated hidden forces basically dominated the wind direction and trend of the underground world, and they were powerful enough to secretly influence the world pattern.

This pattern did not end until Bekas lost to an ordinary high school student Muto Yugi in the Duel Kingdom Contest held by him.

Not only that, Bekas's Millennium Eye was stolen by someone after the battle, his strength plummeted, and he no longer had the domineering arrogance he had before.From then on, Bekas withdrew from the struggle in the underground world with his own power, and began to live a life of retirement in seclusion.

Because of this, Yugi Muto, an ordinary high school student, now has a high reputation among duelists in the underground world. (Although the game itself does not know)

Dark duelists all over the world generally believe that if this boy named Yugi Muto is really just an ordinary person, it should be absolutely impossible to win Bekas.

In addition, the game holds the "millennium building block" that is said to have the highest status among the thousand-year artifacts, so many people believe that the game should be the most powerful dark duelist in the world today.

But there are also quite a few people who believe that the real strongest in the underground world is someone else.

That is Gurus, a new group that has just joined in recently and has broken a large number of unwritten rules of the underground world but has overwhelming strength... and the leader of the group, Malik Ishtar.

The tomb guard family that Malik belongs to has been a family that all parties have feared for many years. It can even be said that if they want to, the tomb guard family may become the leader of the underground world at any time.

The reason is simple, because the legendary millennium artifact with the top power of the dark game, and the most powerful card "Three Illusory Gods" in the world of dueling monsters, have been kept in the hands of the grave guards for many years.

It's just that it is said that the tomb guards have always strictly abided by the legacy passed down from their ancestors, and never abused the power of the thousand-year-old artifact and the card of the phantom god.

However, Malik, the descendant of the generation of the tomb guards, was obviously the first person determined to break this rule.He took away the thousand-year artifacts and phantom cards that were supposed to be kept by the pharaoh without authorization, offered various conditions that he could not refuse, recruited a large number of dark duelists, and formed the rare card hunter organization "Gurus", quickly in the world. The underworld has taken hold.

Because Gurus acted in a tyrannical and brutal style, breaking many of the rules that the Dark Duelists had tacitly accepted for many years, many organizations had frictions with Gurus in just a few months. Very pleasing to the eye.

Fortunately, Malik doesn't seem to be interested in any fame and status. His only purpose is to enter the Battle City and take revenge on the nameless Pharaoh in Muto Yugi's body.

Therefore, most forces have adopted an attitude of keeping Gurus at arm's length, allowing him to fight with the god Muto Yugi.It would be great if the game could pull this lunatic down, then Gurus' power would naturally collapse.

But the "Nightcrawler World" that You Yu is planning to join now is an exception.

Because unlike others, the headquarters of "Nightcrawler World" is located in Tongshiye City.

The regional awareness of the Dark Duelist organization is very deep. It stands to reason that this area should belong to their territory.

The president of the organization is still short-tempered, and he stubbornly believes that "being killed by the bandits of Gulusi and running amok on his own territory" is quite a shameful thing.He made it clear that if Gurus dared to attack the whole army with great fanfare, they would declare war on the spot in Tongshiye City!

If it weren't for the fear of Malik himself, he might really be awesome. He thought to himself that he couldn't do it, and the president might have led people to the Gulus base camp right now.

However, thanks to the tough attitude of the president of "Nightcrawler World", Malik did not move the entire Gurus to Tongshiye City.

After all, his goal is Muto Yuki (or the pharaoh in the game).Although he didn't pay attention to people other than games, he also wanted to avoid unnecessary complications if possible.

This is why Malik only selected a few relatively promising subordinates to join the battle in the battle city chapter.

And at this moment, what You Yu is going to do is the hidden mission related to this faction category——

——Join the world of Nightcrawler!

Chapter 37 Hellishly Handsome

Perhaps no one would have thought that there would be a hidden world beneath such a dark and lonely alley.

After passing through the last door in the dark stairwell, a large hall is revealed.In the center of the hall, a bright crystal chandelier hangs on the roof more than ten meters above the ground, the circular wall is painted red, and the curved staircase extends all the way to the second floor.

Duelists who wield the power of darkness are scattered in this hall in twos and threes.Some of them were drinking, some were bragging, and of course some were playing cards, maybe they were exchanging skills with their companions.

When You Yu passed by a table, he turned his head to look...

faint!Why is this table of dark duelists playing poker around a table?

Could it be that he got tired of duels and started to switch to fighting landlords?

It is reasonable to say that any game bound by "rules" can meet the conditions of a dark game.As long as there are strict rules and clear conditions for victory and defeat, any form of game can be used as a carrier of dark games.

Yes, so fighting landlords and playing mahjong are all eligible.

Even if you want to, you secretly play a dark game while playing League of Legends on the computer, maybe the whole team will die suddenly after the opponent is defeated...

However, only duel monster games can maximize the effect of dark games, and it will be much more difficult to take the loser's life through other games.

You Yu followed behind the strong gatekeeper, walked up the circular staircase to the second floor.

The strong man went straight to the door at the end of the corridor——You Yu noticed that there was a "President's Office" sign on the door, and it was carefully plated with a layer of gold.

The gatekeeper just reached out and pushed the door and went straight in.

You Yu was quite sure that the moment he entered the door, he saw the president behind the desk shut down a certain page on the computer in a panic, and quickly switched back to the desktop.

That action is very similar to the self who secretly watched small movies on the computer when he was a student, and was attacked by his mother who suddenly entered the door.

At that time, the lord mother was slapped on the head and face-who would believe that you have been staring at the computer desktop in a daze?

Mr. President is angry, very angry.

He patted the desk next to him with a "snap", trying to stand up from the seat, but just a few centimeters away from the seat, he seemed to suddenly realize that something was wrong, and then sat down awkwardly like rewinding. go back.

"Knock on the door before entering, what word do you not understand!?" Mr. President sat in the chair and yelled at the soul of the gatekeeper, "Next time if you do this again, you will go directly to me as a sacrifice for the dark game! Do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand the president."

Mr. President gasped angrily, and took a sip of tea angrily, as if Zhengxing was interrupted by someone just now.

It's like the moment when I was about to yell out the last sentence on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, I suddenly misfired, it was indescribably uncomfortable.

You Yu knew that the president of "Nightcrawler World" was named Tang Zeku, and he was a type of person who would never forget it once he met him.

The reason for this description is not that he is domineering, mighty, etc., but because he does look quite distinctive.

Although it might be rude to say so, when You Yu met the character Tang Zeku in the game, the first reaction that popped up in his mind was, "Isn't this person an accident during character modeling?"

Because no matter what you say about this face, these facial features... are not harmonious, right?

The originally small eyes were almost narrowed into two slits, and squeezed together with the overly big nose.And then there are those thick lips that look like roasted sausages...

...I can't help but admire, how careless the modeler was to create such a character?

That's not to mention, this President Mu even... is bald.

It is said that Mr. President was not like this in his early years. At that time, he still had fluffy and thick black hair.

Until one day he started a dark game with another strong man who was also on the road, but lost due to a small mistake at a critical moment.

And in that game, what President Mukuro lost as a failed bet... was his thick hair.

And according to the bet, his hair will never grow back in eternity, and the use of tonic is useless...

After taking a sip of tea, President Tang Zekui noticed You Yu beside him, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows. The first reaction in his head was——

——What a handsome boy!

"Who is this?" he asked.

"A powerful dark duelist," said the gatekeeper. "I have personally confirmed that I am no match for him."

"Oh?" The president put the teacup aside, crossed his fingers and sat up straight, "Then what's the matter with this little brother coming to my place?"

If they are both dark duelists, they will save face when they walk to each other's boundaries.

Strength determines status, and this sentence also applies to the duelists' underground world.

You Yu smiled lightly: "It's just because I have admired your name for a long time, and I hope to get the opportunity to join the 'Nightcrawler World'."

"Oh? You want to join us?" President Tang Zeku raised his eyebrows.

He thought for a while, frowned, and said, "Well, it's not that I don't want to accept you. But you have to know that our 'Nightcrawler World' has rules. To join our organization, you usually need someone to recommend you, or Has helped the organization in business..."

In fact, the rules are not absolute, as long as he, the president, gives permission, naturally the members will not have any opinions.

If it was normal, President Mu would very much welcome capable dark duelists to join his organization.

But the problem before him is... this kid is a little too handsome.

Few people know that President Mu also has a strange disease.

That is, he would feel uncomfortable when he saw a handsome man, and he had symptoms similar to allergies.

If it was based on this principle, he should immediately refuse now and keep this kid out of the door.

But what's even weirder now is that he thinks this kid looks good... so that he can't even find it annoying.

In short, he is wickedly handsome!

So President Tang Zeku got into a tangle.

Should he be allowed to stay?

However, You Yu was a little bit wrong at this moment.Because he actually knew that it was not in line with the process to come in so straight to the point.

The reason why he knew this place was also because he saw the strategies posted by other players in his previous life.Some players completed a series of pre-tasks and ran around for more than half a month before finally joining the "Nightcrawler World" under the recommendation of a dark duelist.

This kind of guild is actually similar to the common faction system in other online games.Joining a faction means more benefits, more opportunities, and more opportunities to obtain missions and rare cards.

However, after reading the guide, You Yu has already remembered where the entrance of the "Nightcrawler World" is, so he naturally didn't bother to do the complicated tasks of running around.

As for how to join the club without a referral, there is always a way.

"But in the world of duelists, it's all about strength, right?" You Yu raised the dueling plate in his left hand, "Why don't you consider giving me a chance to try, Mr. President?"

President Tang Zeku pondered for a while.

"Okay." He finally agreed, "That's it, as long as you can defeat three opponents sent by us in a row, you will pass the assessment, how about it?"

You Yu nodded: "Okay, it's a deal."
