Who let him play Yu-Gi-Oh!

After the duel, Eddie knelt on the ground, his expression stiff and pale like a zombie, but he still had a strange smile on his face.

"That's right, the king of this world. With just two cards, he can easily reach the 'infinity' that countless duelists cannot reach in their entire lives.

Well, this is also a strength worthy of the title of 'King'."

Eddie smiled dryly, but it didn't seem to come from the heart, but was a smile that he forced out of his facial muscles.

"More interesting than the kings I met before."

Yugen looked at him calmly and asked, "Muto Yugi?"

Aside from himself, the only person who had ever held the title of king was Yugi.

"Huh, games? Well, I did deal with that guy, but... hey, I'm not talking about that guy."

You Xuan felt a little strange.

If this is not a game, then who else could be the king besides myself?

No, wait, he just said "the king of this world". Does that mean outside the current dimension?

This is not impossible. After all, You Xuan himself often hangs out in other dimensions.

"I just said hello today. I gained a lot from the duel with you."

Eddie seemed to be still talking, but his face and mouth were strangely motionless, as if there was a loudspeaker hidden in his body, and his voice was deliberately tuned to be very sinister.

"We'll see each other again, but don't worry, not yet."

A smile appeared on Eddie's stiff face again.

"The so-called 'evil god' of the Advent Church is about to arrive, and will greet you soon. It seems that you will be very busy recently, so I won't disturb you for now.

Let's save our time until you have dealt with these troubles, my Lord."

Then there was another string of strange laughter.

Then the breath on Eddie's body dissipated instantly, and his whole body fell weakly to the side like a puppet with its strings cut.

"He just said that the so-called evil god of the Advent Church," said Yan curiously, "so he is not in the same group as the group that is looking for me?"

"Well, that's what it sounds like. But we can't rule out the possibility that he's misleading us."

You Xuan thought about it, took a photo of the unconscious Eddie with his portable terminal, and quickly sent it to his acquaintances in the company through the internal network of Haima Group.

He now has a wide network of contacts in the Haima Group, and through many cooperative activities he has gotten to know quite a few people in the company.

"Mr. You Xuan?"

Soon there was a call from the other end, which was very polite and courteous.

“I received your message, is there anything I can help you with?”

"Sorry to bother you so late, Yoshida-nii."

"Ahahaha, no problem. It's my honor to help Mr. You Xuan. Just give me your orders."

"I just sent a photo over. I want to know as much identity information as possible about this person." You Xuan said.

"Background check huh? Then you've found the right person. Wait a minute, this shouldn't take long."

“.”

The other party was not exaggerating. It was not an exaggeration to say that the power of the Haima Group was all-powerful. That night, You Xuan got the identity of this person.

Eddie is an expert in duel archaeology and has led a team to explore several ruins related to ancient duel monsters. But according to the information retrieved, his name has been included in the list of missing archaeologists for several years.

Archaeology is a high-risk job, especially duel archaeology. You never know when you might find a palace of a sealed evil god, or a tomb of an ancient king, or perhaps a very bad-tempered elf. Every year, archaeologists disappear.

When Eddie's team was on their last mission, the ruins collapsed. The search and rescue team spent a long time trying to find the bodies of the archaeologists, but in the end, they could only find one person, Eddie.

The other team members were found, but no matter what happened beneath the ruins, none of the archaeologists were spared.

The common point is that all of them died miserably and had expressions of extreme fear, as if they had seen something extremely terrifying before they died.

The autopsy report could not find the cause of death, and it seemed that they died before the collapse. However, the visible scars on their bodies were almost all left after death, and the cause of death could not be inferred.

If only the entire archaeological team was wiped out and one member was missing, this would not be a cause for concern. Although it may sound a little cruel, excavation is inherently risky, and similar accidents happen every year.

But the reason why the Haima Group attached great importance to this matter at that time was because of the hieroglyphics found in the ruins after the excavation.

Zock.

You Xuan thought about it, walked forward and squatted beside Eddie, and pulled out his deck from the duel disk.

He unfolded the deck and quickly scanned it.

This deck doesn't have any special features, just like most duelists in this world, it's mostly a bunch of random cards with no clear theme. However, it has a lot of components to support ritual summons, such as Ten Thousand Hands, Advanced Ritual, and preparations for rituals.

But strangely, there are no ritual monsters.

You Xuan searched carefully twice and looked around to make sure he didn't miss anything.

But it doesn't.

The "Zok, Ruler of Darkness" disappeared without a trace, as if it had been destroyed along with the end of the duel.

He watched silently for a while, then couldn't help but step forward and look at You Xuan with some worry.

You Xuan seemed to have sensed something and turned to look at her: "Do you want to ask, is this 'that' Zork?"

Silently nodded.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." You Xuan paused, but frowned and said, "But he just said that the ruler of darkness he found is just an empty shell of the Great Evil God's former incarnation.

If he is really Zork, isn't this a bit strange?"

Silent tilted his head, then nodded, indicating that there were indeed doubts.

At this moment, another call came through the terminal.

This time it was the teacher from Daitokuji Temple.

"Are you there, meow?"

You Xuan: "Teacher, you have completely gotten used to life as a cat."

"Stop talking nonsense, meow." Daitokuji said, "I think we have figured out the location of the headquarters of the Advent Church that you asked me to investigate before, meow."

"Oh? Finally found it?"

"That's right. These people are hiding in the deep mountains and forests. It's really hard to find them. I'll send you the address soon."

Daitoku-ji Temple pauses.

"So what are you going to do this time? Or are you going to arrange for someone to go and take a look?"

But before You Xuan could speak, he immediately spoke seriously.

"Let me be clear in advance. The teacher is just a cat. Don't go there this time no matter what."

You Xuan smiled: "Okay. Don't worry, teacher. This time, I will go and see it myself."
