Can I become the Yu-Gi-Oh by summoning the Flame Swordsman?

The body holding the head stiffened all over and stood straight in place like a statue. The hands holding the head could no longer exert any strength and the head fell to the ground and rolled to the center of the house.

Bai Chu suddenly felt that this scene was particularly abnormal, and yelled at the Snow Girl: "Back off! Back to the corner!"

"Ah?" Bai Chu's roar stunned the Snow Girl for a moment. Instead, she looked at Bai Chu at a loss, momentarily dazed.

At the same time, the head on the ground began to fester at an alarming speed, and from the spreading blood hole, a transparent liquid of unknown composition continued to spray in all directions.

Without having time to think about the situation, Bai Chu pounced on the Snow Girl. They both fell down. Bai Chu used his body to completely protect the Snow Girl, but the transparent liquid splashing all around got on Bai Chu's back.

"Ah--" The cloth clothes that Bai Chu was wearing were corroded as soon as they came into contact with the transparent liquid, and scattered into rags that stuck to the skin on Bai Chu's back. Suddenly, an intense burning pain was transmitted to Bai Chu's brain, as if countless muskets were burning his back at the same time. He fell to the side weakly.

"Bai Chu!" The Snow Girl got up from the ground and saw that Bai Chu's face was distorted with pain but he didn't dare to move or turn over. She became anxious and reached out to peel off the piece of clothing that was stained with the transparent liquid.

"Don't touch me!" Bai Chu yelled. "Even if you get a little bit of it on your hands, they will rot. And if you move, my skin will be peeled off... Quick, wash my back with water!"

"Oh." The Snow Girl quickly waved her right hand, and circles of blue ripples spread out in her palm, and then sprayed out water mist which was directed towards Bai Chu's back.

The biting cold and burning pain alternately hit Bai Chu's brain. Bai Chu couldn't stop shaking violently, but he still bit his lips hard and supported himself on the ground with his hands to prevent himself from moving.

The process lasted for several minutes. When the burning sensation gradually eased, Bai Chu gently waved his hand, signaling the Snow Girl to stop. At this time, he was completely soaked in water, and his lips were frozen purple.

"Ah!" The Snow Girl who had withdrawn her hand was suddenly startled by Bai Chu's unrecognizable back: "Bai Chu, your back is rotten, just like..."

"Like what?"

"Like Dunmee's face."

Bai Chu gasped for air and nodded gently. "I couldn't figure it out before. Deng Mi's face didn't look like it was burned by fire, nor did it look like it was chopped by a knife or an axe. I couldn't explain why. Now I finally understand. His face was disfigured by being splashed with concentrated sulfuric acid."

"Concentrated sulfuric acid?" The Snow Girl was shocked and asked, "What is concentrated sulfuric acid?"

Bai Chu thought for a moment and said, "According to the terminology of this era, it should be called green vitriol oil."

"Green vitriol oil?" The Snow Girl frowned and said, "This is a corrosive poison, but it shouldn't be that powerful, right?"

"Yes, it's not accurate to say it's green vitriol oil. Green vitriol oil is dilute sulfuric acid, and people of this era don't have the technology and process to make concentrated sulfuric acid." At this point, Bai Chu's eyes suddenly became sharp: "It seems that there are old friends of mine in Wentang County."

"Old friend?" The Snow Girl nodded in confusion. "I was wondering how you knew someone would come to assassinate us and prevented me from sleeping comfortably in that bed. It turns out that an old friend informed you."

Bai Chu smiled and said, "You misunderstood. The old friend I mentioned is the old friend who wanted to kill me. The reason why I thought someone would come to assassinate us was actually a complete guess."

"Guess?"

"Look at the layout of this room. Do you find it suspicious?"

Xue Nu glanced around the messy room. When she moved in today, she and Bai Chu checked the whole room, but Bai Chu said nothing at that time. Before going to rest, Bai Chu also closed all the doors and windows, and now the doors and windows are still closed from the inside. If there is anything suspicious, Xue Nu can only think of the headless body in front of her.

"You see, this room is not very big, and there are quite a lot of furniture and objects in the room, but it doesn't feel crowded or cramped at all. This is because all the furniture is placed against the wall. The bed is placed against the wall, the screen is placed against the wall, and even the table and chairs are placed side by side against the wall. You see, this way, a large space is left in the middle of the room."

"What's going on?"

"You know, during the Daguang period, bedroom layouts were about gathering Qi. It was usually taboo to have a bedroom that was too empty, and even to use a lot of space to place meaningless decorations like vases. In this way, the 'Qi' belonging to the person would not be easily lost, and it would be relatively warmer. Besides, if you put the screen against the wall, what is the purpose of this screen?"

"If that's what you said, then why did they arrange it this way?"

"Think about it, with this arrangement, even if one cannot see the way clearly, it would be easy for a person to walk from the other side of the room to the bed without bumping into any obstacles or making any noise?"

"Why do you have to walk around when you can't see the road clearly? If you're afraid of bumping into something, wouldn't it be better to hold a lantern?" The Snow Girl said naively.

"How can you say such a thing..." Bai Chu couldn't help but shook his head. "If he can't see the road, doesn't that mean we can't see him either?"

"You mean, this is a room specially designed for assassination?" The Snow Girl suddenly realized and quickly became furious: "How can this be absurd? Who dares to assassinate me? I will make him walk across the Naihe Bridge tonight."

Xue Nu was about to open the door with murderous intent, but stopped at the door: "Bai Chu, do you know where Deng Mi is now?"

Bai Chu shook his head and said, "Do you really think I know everything?"

The Snow Girl walked back in frustration: "What should we do now? Should we just sit here and sulk after this?"

"If you can't find Deng Mi, you can go find my old friend." As he said that, Bai Chu walked to the other side of the room, sometimes lying on the ground, sometimes lying on the wall, knocking on the ground and wall with his hands, making a "dong dong" sound.

The Snow Girl asked curiously, "What are you looking for? Didn't you check the whole house during the day?"

"I missed something during the day. There must be a secret passage in this room that I haven't discovered." Before Xue Nu asked how he knew, Bai Chu continued, "This ghost thing didn't knock when it came in. Besides, the door was still closed when you went out just now. There must be other entrances to this room."

"Which ghost needs to knock on the door to get in? Don't they just float in directly?"

"If it was really a ghost, there would be no need to make these special arrangements for this room." Bai Chu said casually: "This is a simulated robot."

“What is a lifelike robot?”

Bai Chu was speechless for a moment: "Save some of your questions for tomorrow. You've asked a lot of them tonight."

The Snow Girl stuck out her tongue at Bai Chu's back, and walked around the room bored. Soon her attention was attracted by the headless corpse that was still standing there until this moment. She observed closely the extremely mysterious "simulated robot" that Bai Chu mentioned.

"Found it!" Bai Chu lay down in front of a floor tile in the corner, knocking on it repeatedly, and then knocking on the tile next to it for verification. The sounds made by the two tiles were obviously different. "There is a tunnel underneath."

"Where's the mechanism? Where's the mechanism?" The Snow Girl ran forward curiously.

"What mechanism?"

"Wasn't it that you find the mechanism and then use your intelligence to solve the puzzle and open the mechanism?"

"Is it really necessary to waste that much time?" Bai Chu took out a card and slapped it on the duel disk. "Come out, Flame Swordsman."

"Hah!" The Fire Swordsman swung his flaming sword with all his might, cutting the floor tiles into several pieces like cutting tofu. Then, a staircase leading to the underground appeared in front of Bai Chu and Xue Nu.
