Who let him play Yu-Gi-Oh!

You Xuan yawned, leaned against the bumpy window of the jeep, and casually flipped through the cards in his hand.

These were all new cards picked up from the ground during the Duel City competition these two days, and there were quite a lot of them. He was roughly classifying these cards, distinguishing between useful, pending, and to-be-sold cards, and thinking about which of them might be able to build new routines.

It was just getting dark, but the night was as thick as ink, and there seemed to be no moonlight. The forest seemed like a silent ancient temple.

The twisted and stretched branches around were like countless withered arms extending out of the darkness. The leaves rustled in the wind, like whispering ghosts.

The jeep bumped along the path in the forest, and the headlights were like faint fireflies. The wheels rolled over the dead branches and leaves, making a creaking sound.

The man in the front passenger seat turned around and leaned over: "Are you a duelist?"

He was a guide in the nearby city, and the driver next to him was arranged by the Haima Group to wait for You Xuan at the station in advance. After You Xuan arrived in the city, he changed to this off-road vehicle and headed straight to Qingshui Town.

"Yes." You Xuan said.

"Awesome. I have always admired you card players because I can't play it." The guide said.

The driver next to him joked: "With your brain, you still want to duel, forget it. You should play Lianliankan first."

"What's wrong with Lianliankan?" The guide held his head high, "Lianliankan is also difficult."

The driver laughed and didn't say anything. He asked casually while driving: "I don't know much about dueling, but I know that. There is a monster called Black Magician Girl, right?

I recognize that one, it's really big."

You Xuan: "."

You haven't heard of Final Fantasy, but you recognize Jerusalem, right?

"Tsk, what's the use of being big?" The guide shook his head and said, "I still like hardworking and capable people."

The driver looked at him with a hollow look: "If you want to relax the conditions, you can remove the word hardworking, right?"

"Ha, brother still understands me."

"."

The two joked for a while, and seeing that You Xuan was silent and had no intention of participating, he seemed to find it boring, so they were quiet for a while.

After driving for a while, the guide couldn't help but turn his head and ask again: "But speaking of it, why do duelists from big cities come to such a remote place?"

"I'm not saying, if your company didn't give too much, I really don't want to come." The driver also said, "Several people have disappeared here in the past two weeks."

"Oh?"

This topic made You Xuan a little interested.

"Isn't it? I came here with the Public Security Bureau last week, saying that we were looking for a missing traveler, but we didn't find him in the end, so we just let it go." The guide said.

You Xuan pondered for a moment.

So the speculation of the Seahorse Company may be correct, and there may be something wrong with this place.

The trees were getting denser and denser. The jeep moved along the roadside path and slowly stopped.

"Take a break, get off the car, get some water, take a rest, etc. People are stiff after sitting for so long."

The guide got off the car, stretched, and took out a cigarette.

"I have to go smoke a cigarette."

He handed a cigarette to You Xuan who was sitting in the car and gestured.

"Would you like one?"

"Thanks, but I don't smoke." You Xuan declined.

"Ha, it's good not to smoke, good habit."

The guide expressed his approval, then hummed a little tune and put it aside to smoke.

You Xuan did not get off the car, but continued to count the cards in his hand.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but the night seemed to become thicker. Even the wind held its breath, and every tree stood strangely in the dark, with twisted branches like claws reaching out from the dark.

Ten minutes passed.

"Strange things haven't come back yet?"

The driver muttered strangely, and said he was ready to get off the car.

"I'll go take a look."

"I'll go."

You Xuan opened the door and got out of the car.

The atmosphere was a little wrong. But he was not very worried. After all, he had many elves under his command, and there were not many things in the world that could threaten him.

The same thing. No matter what kind of demon he was, could he not play cards when he came here?

After walking for a while in the direction of the guide, You Xuan soon noticed something.

A half-smoked cigarette butt.

The cigarette had not yet gone out, lying quietly on the wet land, the smell of smoke mixed with the smell of wet soil and tobacco, the smell was quite strange.

Walking a few steps to the side, there seemed to be traces of dragging and pulling between the bushes and grass, looming in the dark.

Was this guy attacked?

But this place was clearly not far from the car, but there was no sound at all.

And a few steps forward, the trace disappeared. It was cut off abruptly in the middle, as if the man was dragged here and evaporated out of thin air, and there was no trace to be found.

He retreated to the side of the car for the time being. However, when he looked back, he found that the car was empty.

There was no sound again, and the driver was gone just a few steps away. And this time, there was no sign of struggle.

The thick darkness seemed to come from the forest, surrounding the car. The car lights became the only light in the darkness, but they were so weak in the endless darkness, like a candle that could be extinguished at any time in the wind.

No, it was not an illusion, the darkness was really slowly pressing up.

It was a figure.

With a shaky step and a strange posture, the body swayed and approached him, and raised its arms towards him as if instinctively.

From the appearance of their clothes, they might be residents nearby, but their eyes were empty and lifeless, like a bottomless black vortex. Under the illumination of the jeep lights, their dark circles looked like dark charcoal fire.

This posture and body shape made people think of zombies at first.

But they were not traditional zombies, but "duel zombies" similar to the GX animation chapter where the entire academy was teleported to another dimension by Sister You and the academy was infected.

That is, card-playing zombies with nothing on their minds except playing cards.

Hiss, this description actually sounds a bit like Judai-san.

However, although the scene was a bit weird, You Xuan was not nervous.

"Silence." He called softly.

White light was stimulated from him, and the magic circle opened under his feet. The silent magician flew out, spinning the staff in his hand, and a circle of magic explosion light bullets scattered around, exploding one after another.

The explosion of the light bomb caused mud to fly everywhere, and the zombies were blown to pieces.

But when the smoke cleared, there was a figure still standing in the last row of the zombie group.

The zombie who looked like the leader of the group, although he also had empty eyes and a swaying body, was obviously more powerful in terms of momentum.

He staggered between the teammates who were scattered all over the place, squinting his eyes and looking at You Xuan.

Then he slowly raised the duel disk in his hand, and made a vague sound like a groan.

"Duel~."

You Xuan felt relieved.

See, as expected, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Even zombies have to play cards.
