I'm playing cards in Yu-Gi-Oh!

"Ahhhh!!!"

The macho duelist, who was suspected to be a football quarterback, was shot into the soul. In just two or three rounds, he was knocked to the ground by the "ghost" in the haunted house. Even the card deck flew out of the duel plate and scattered all over the floor.

...It really feels like losing a dark duel.

Just now, I discovered that I could pass the level by "playing cards with ghosts". This tough guy who was paralyzed on his girlfriend and was so scared that he couldn't take care of himself suddenly started to act again. He boasted that he was invincible in duels and was the king of duels. That's all. I confidently want to save my poor image in front of my girlfriend that I may have fallen into the Mariana Trench.

Then......

...and he pounced.

In the end, it was Judai, a young man who was full of energy, who took action and successfully defeated his opponent with the gorgeous thrust of "Elemental Hero: Flashing Flame Winged Man", leading the team to overcome this level.

The staff member playing the role of ghost quickly exited through the secret door after being defeated. A wooden door that was originally locked in front of them bounced open with a soft "click". It was very obvious that this was their next route.

It was almost at this point that You Yu noticed something was wrong.

After passing through the door and advancing for a long time, You Yu couldn't help but turn his head and glance behind him to confirm.

"What's wrong?" Qian Nai asked softly.

You Yu frowned and thought for a while: "Do you think this place looks familiar?"

"ah?"

“It feels like we’ve been here before.”

Qian Nai hesitated for a moment and shook her head in embarrassment.

Her sense of direction is inherently bad, and she is one of those "the shortest taxi ride between two points" level of road idiot. In addition, she only held You Yu's arm the whole time in this haunted house and did not dare to raise her head. How could she remember where she had been?

Lu Chi is Lu Chi, she doesn't care.

Anyway, she will go wherever You Yu goes.

"..."

Well, I should have known that even asking Chinana-chan would be in vain.

They continued down the narrow corridor. On the left is a bare white wall, with most of the paint peeling off. On the right side are neatly lined up locked classroom doors, with rusty locks on them.

There was a constant sound of cold wind coming from somewhere, and there was a constant "clanging" sound of metal scraping from somewhere, which sounded like the sound of a loose window being shaken in the window frame.

It still has an eerie atmosphere, with sound and light effects like a horror movie set. Others may have noticed something, but You Yu noticed something strange.

He felt a sense of disharmony, an illusion that he had rashly stepped into unknown territory. Restless instincts bubble up like water from a spring. He seemed to smell the gloom in the air.

They walked back to the same place for the third time.

This time You Yu was sure that it was not his illusion.

Exactly the same set, exactly the same aisles. The position of every door and every window is the same as before. Even the spider threads and cracks on the windows are exactly the same as before.

Other tourists were still talking in low voices, wondering whether the organizers had deliberately arranged it this way to further create a terrifying atmosphere. But You Yu has realized that this is not the case.

"Owner."

The black magician girl in ghost state floated next to You Yu.

"Someone has tampered with the space in this area."

"Space?" You Yu murmured.

This is not a cyclical illusion caused by the scenery, nor is it a trick of psychological suggestion. They really circled the same scene over and over again, falling into an infinite loop in space.

Similar to a dark playfield from which there is no escape.

You Yu first ruled out the possibility that this was deliberately set up by the organizer - President Kaiba was at odds with all supernatural matters, and there was no way he would invite an expert in dark games to come to such a facility to play tricks.

Could it be...Blue God?

In the timeline one year after the end of "Yu-Gi-Oh! DM", Yu Yu can only think about this BOSS now.

Blue God is the villain who appeared in the theatrical version of "Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Dark Side of Dimension". The prop he holds in his hand is called the "Eighth Millennium Artifact". The ability shown by Lan Shen in the original work may indeed have something to do with space power. Maybe he is really this bad guy.

But the question is, if the person behind the scenes is really Lan Shen... what does this guy want to do with Yu Yu?

It doesn’t make sense! Shouldn't he either find Yugi or Kaiba? Why do you think it has nothing to do with him, a passerby who happens to be named You?

Ripples gradually appeared in the space ahead.

Like pebbles being thrown into the lake, black figures slowly emerged from under the water. It was a man wearing black tights, with a slim figure, and it was impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman.

He was wearing a helmet like a hard hat, and the black mask covered most of his face. The only eyes that were not covered were covered by dark goggles.

All the passers-by became confused.

Could this be the staff member pretending to be a ghost in the next step?

But this outfit, this outfit... doesn't have any horror elements at all.

On the contrary, it looks a bit like a black technology warrior who ran out of some science fiction set.

The man in black snapped his fingers.

A huge and fuzzy black shadow emerged from behind him, and a dragon's head poked out from the abstract outline, raising its head and roaring!

The sound was majestic and powerful, like thunder. Dust fell from the roof of the teaching building, the spider webs collapsed, and all the glass was shattered into pieces with a neat scream.

The overbearing impact was like a raging demon wandering along the sealed corridor, knocking passers-by to the ground.

Qianna held Yuyu's arm tightly, and held the bewildered little Judai with the other hand.

Only then did everyone react -

——That is not a three-dimensional image!

That huge shadow behind... really has the power to kill them!

"What's going on? Is this also the organizer's design?"

"Impossible! How can a three-dimensional image have such a strong impact?"

The man in black ignored their shouts and anxieties and slowly made a gesture.

Probably some sort of "hands on" gesture.

The shadow moved again. A head poked out of the darkness, standing on the ground illuminated by the flames churning in its own mouth. A beam of flames seemed to be flowing from the crater of the volcano, and struck head-on in the sealed corridor.

Every cell in everyone's heart sent out dangerous signals, like a cry of despair at the moment of death.

If you get hit by this...

...really will die!

"drink!"

The hot impact hit the shield of a layer of water head-on. The cool blue water heated up quickly, evaporated at high speed, and turned into a large cloud of white water vapor that spread out.

The warrior in aqua blue armor squatted on the ground, lying in front of You Yu, and the water shield transformed from his hands blocked the hot attack.

Masked Hero·Misui!

Maybe no one was paying attention along the way, or maybe the light in this place was too dark, but no one seemed to realize You Yu's identity until now.

"Masked Hero?"

"It's the Masked Hero! So this person is..."

"Mr. Duel King Youyu!?"

"Are we actually with Mr. Youyu all this time!?"

Hiss~ The boss is actually by my side.

Qian Nai released Yu Yu's arm in time and pulled Xiao Judai aside. You Yu took two steps and came face to face with the man in black.

"Who are you?"

The man didn't answer directly, but just raised the duel plate in his hand.

"Duel King Youyu."

He spoke, his voice under the mask hoarse and muddy, sounding like he was speaking through water.

"Do you dare to accept the challenge?"
