Yu-Gi-Oh! Starting from Duel City.

Chapter 212 You Ling is targeted, the first battle in the virtual space

"It seems that besides accepting the duel from this so-called 'deck leader'? We have no other options at the moment."

He glanced at the people around him who were eager to try, and saw varying degrees of perseverance and even high-spirited expressions on their faces. He then raised his right arm towards where the five elders were: "Then, your duel , let me join in the fun!"

After once again killing the yellow-haired boy Cheng Nei in yesterday's knockout round, Yu Ling, as a senior poker player, probably hasn't played poker for nearly a day.

Now that he had this opportunity to play cards and hit people at the same time, You Ling would not miss it.

Although from You Ling's point of view, the "five elders" and other old men living in the past are just people who have nothing to do with him.

But since this group of people is now standing in front of him, hindering him from becoming a duel king and reaching the pinnacle of his life, then You Ling naturally has no reason to hold back on them.

"Me too, me too...count me in!"

"Hey! Very good, everyone... let's have a big fight next!"

Seeing the members of the group of relatives and friends who came with them showing high-spirited and excited expressions, Jonouchi, who had just issued a military order to his sister and was immediately infected by everyone's emotions, also showed an extremely expression on his face. Excited expression.

In such a passionate atmosphere of actively preparing for the battle, Kyoko put her fingers on her cheeks and suddenly thought of a certain question. She couldn't help but ask: "Wait a minute, if we win the duel, we can go out from here." If... then what will happen if we lose?"

According to the common principle of equivalent exchange in alchemy, it is reasonable that there should be a corresponding price at this time.

"Jiejiejiejie...that's a good question! My little sister's words hit the point!"

In response to Kyoko's question, the members of the Five Elders immediately declared to everyone in a proud tone: "Just like the winner will receive the reward he deserves, which is a matter of course, the loser also has to pay accordingly. The price is enough!”

"That's right, after you lose, the spirit and will of our five elders wandering in the computer world will occupy your bodies, replacing you from here and returning to the real world. "

"……what?"

After hearing the explanation of the five elders, Haima, who had great opinions on these old immortals, suddenly had a sullen look on his face: "So this is the purpose of you guys? A bunch of old people with no good intentions! "

"Well, that's it. After losing the duel, you guys will trade with us and wander in the computer world on our behalf... And this time is, until the end of eternity!"

"How can there be such a thing?"

"Damn it! If I lose, I have to exchange with you old men or something. It's too despicable!"

"...No wonder, no wonder that guy Naiya just said he wanted a sufficient number of duelists to come here. It turns out he had such an insidious purpose!"

At the moment when they learned the cause and effect, everyone also understood the purpose of Kaiba Naia and the five elders.

Let the people who come here exchange with them and endure the endless torture of wandering forever on their behalf. These guys are simply shameless to the extreme!
"Jie, Jie, Jie... despicable? But this is our five elders' revenge on you people!"

The five elders who hold extremely high power in the virtual space here are constantly twisting their bodies, becoming as tall as giants.Maintaining their giant postures, they looked down at the people below who were shouting "despicable" at them.

With expressions of disdain flashing across their faces, they counterattacked at the same time: "If you defeat us in the duel, we will let you leave this virtual space... But if you refuse, then it will be very difficult." Unfortunately, we can’t let you go, just stay here with us forever!”

The escape route from behind had been blocked at some point. Seeing that the exit door had been closed, You Ling and his party were left with the only option of "accepting".

"Hmph! This approach is indeed very characteristic of despicable people like you!"

Letting out a signature cold snort, Kaiba did not forget to express his ridicule at this time: "But no matter what methods you use, you will never be able to shake my favor! Don't compare that guy just now with me. !”

"Yoshi... do it if you want! Let me, Jonouchi, be your opponent!"

At this moment when facing difficulties, Jonouchi, who has an optimistic and positive attitude, is actually the one with the hottest mood among the crowd.

What I have to admit is that his enthusiastic attitude has indeed infected others, making the current difficulties no longer seem so difficult.

"Hehehe... Since you all said so, I assume that all of you have agreed to our request! Let's move on to the next step."

As the voice of the five elders sounded, human-shaped circular pits that led to unknown directions suddenly appeared at the feet of everyone.

Without enough time to react, Yu Ling and the others were forcibly moved to a different new location as a hole appeared under their feet.

While the body continued to fall in the tunnel under the large hole, the vision of everyone, including You Ling, was also flooded by pure white light in an instant.

When the down-to-earth You Ling opened his eyes again, he suddenly found that he had arrived in a brand new place alone.

"Yugi, Kaiba, Jonouchi... I didn't see anyone else... In other words, am I the only one who was teleported here?"

You Ling's vision slowly recovered, and he found himself on the edge of a swamp.

Feeling the quiet atmosphere around him and the sound of frogs coming from far away from time to time, You Ling, who was skeptical about the scene in front of him, did not choose to act rashly. Instead, he held his chin and began to think about the next countermeasures. .

Fighting is definitely inevitable, but should we proactively look for the enemy first, or should we wait for the enemy to come to us?Or find a way to join up with others first?

This is a question worth thinking about...

"What's the matter? Here is..."

The situation is slightly different from You Ling's situation. The yellow-haired boy was teleported to the courtyard of a luxurious manor in the city.

He climbed up from the grass covered with green plants, looked at the tall and unfamiliar scenery around him, and couldn't help but froze in place.

"Huh? Where is this? That person over there is... Yugi?!"

On the other side, Kyoko was also transported to a completely different place.

What she saw was a desolate scene. Being in the middle of the Grand Canyon, she subconsciously looked around at the scenery around her.

In the distance she could see, she seemed to vaguely see the figure of the starfish-headed boy gradually walking in another direction. "...Brother, where are they? Why am I the only one here?"

At the same time, Shizuka opened her eyes at a lake next to a forest, and tried to search for her brother and companions.

"Ugh...it hurts! Where did those bastards from the Fifth Elder teleport us to? Hey! Yuga...are you okay?"

"Ah, I'm fine, where's Shizuka!"

Honda Hiroshi and Mika Ryuuji, who were also members of the family and friends group, woke up together inside the mansion next to Jonouchi.

The first time they woke up, the two of them tacitly searched for a cute sister whose style of painting was different from Jonouchi's.

After discovering that their target was the same person, the brothers who were in the same situation twitched the corners of their mouths in unison.

Good boy, are you showing off your flaws?

"Brother! Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Keppei, how are you doing there?"

Like the others, the Kaiba brothers were moved to different locations.

As the object of Kaiba Naia's greatest attention, the movements of Kaiba Seto and Kaiba Keihei who are with him are undoubtedly listed as the highest priority.

Naia Kaiba, who was lurking behind the scenes, was observing the status of the separated people through the multiple projections that appeared in front of him with a cheerful expression.

While his eyes glanced at the waking Kaiba brothers, Naia's eyes flashed with a look of ridicule: "Seto...as my most important guest, please enjoy this world for a while. Bar!"

In fact, the actions of the five elders were also intentional arrangements by Kaiba Naia.

He deliberately separated the group of people, intending to enjoy the scene of these people struggling in different spaces as an audience, so as to satisfy the morbid pleasure needs in his heart.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, let's see... the first battle of the duel will be conducted by the first envoy of the Five Elders - [Warrior of the Deep Sea]! As for his opponent..."

Looking at the calmest Yu Rei on the screen, Kaiba Naia was curious about this duelist who covered his appearance with a combination of black robe and mask. He targeted him first and decided to test Yu Rei for the time being. Zero reality.

After that, under the instructions of Kaiba Naia, who was the mastermind behind the scenes, Yu Ling was locked as the first target of the five elders.

"This is... a swamp? So the place where you fell from the big hole is actually another virtual space? And the next duel will also be held here?"

"Hehehe...that's right! It's just what you thought."

"...?!"

While You Ling was muttering to himself and scanning the surroundings, a strange laughter suddenly echoed in his ears.

Following the direction of the sound, he held up the masked You Ling, and immediately saw a figure of a humanoid monster that looked like a fishman and slowly emerged from the bottom of the swamp.

"According to the data...your name is You Ling, right? Then I will be your duel opponent!"

"……You are?"

"Hey! Did you forget me so quickly? I am one of the five old races you just saw!"

The blue fish-man raised the duel plate on his arm and floated on the swamp in a state that violated Newton's laws. He looked at You Ling who was on the shore in a vigilant posture towards him with a grin. : "As a loyal backbone of the Haima Group, I have robbed and annexed countless companies in the past. What I imagine based on my skills and abilities is what you see now. Warrior] This is what he looks like as the leader of the deck!”

Pointing at himself, [Warrior of the Deep Sea], one of the five elders, continued: "...In other words, I am the leader of my deck!"

"Make yourself the deck leader? And then gain special abilities? That's the purpose of the deck leader, right?"

Observing the five old members who appeared in front of him, You Ling narrowed his eyes and made his guess.

Almost every monster that becomes the leader of the deck has a special ability that is unknown to everyone.

The Blue Eyes White Dragon is a quick attack, and the Absolute Defense General is a counterattack. As for the [Warrior of the Deep Sea] in front of him... You Ling still doesn't know what abilities he possesses.

"That's right, because of Seto Kaiba's resistance, our five elders have lost our real bodies that can move in the real world. Currently, we can only float in the virtual space in the form of data streams... What we look like now , is also a false appearance prepared for revenge."

The five old members, who slightly raised the corners of their mouths as they explained to You Ling, raised their fingers and shook them: "By the way, if you look down on this place because you think this is a virtual world like just now, you will suffer a big loss. oh?"

"What do you mean?"

"Jiejiejie...you don't need to ask me this question, you will know it soon."

After tapping the duel plate on his arm, the five elders floating on the lake urged You Ling standing on the shore: "Sa! Start the duel quickly! It's too long to stay in this virtual space. I'm going crazy with boredom! Just let me take your body away and get out of here!"

"Hehehehe... It would be a good experience to use the bodies of young people like you to sing the praises of youth again!"

I have had enough of this tortured feeling of constantly wandering in the computer space, like a lonely ghost, desperate for death.

Now the five elders can't wait to get the young bodies of these duelists to start their new lives.

And You Ling is their first target.

"I know you are in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry... Before you start, tell me first, how are the people who were traveling with me doing now?"

Without commenting on the provocation of the five elders, before the duel began, You Ling asked his most concerned question to his opponent who was eager to play cards with him.
