Chapter 219: Impatient Seahorse

Gloomy and cold.

It was like being in a dark swamp where I couldn't breathe. When I came to my senses, I only heard the cold declaration suddenly explode in my ears:

"Tell me about that in detail."

"Xia Di, that man..."

'boom'

The scarlet flames burned as if destroying everything. When Isis came to her senses, she found herself sitting on a single sofa.

In the separate room, the artificial light exudes a hint of coldness. Outside the closed window, the gradually setting sun announces the arrival of night.

Of course, it also tells another story:

"So the conversation is over?"

Gazing at the scarlet line of fire on the horizon that symbolized the passage of time, Isis couldn't help but feel sleepy.

Come to think of it, she hadn't been able to rest properly since her brother abandoned his duties and defected... no, it should be said that since the tragedy a few years ago.

The duties of the gravekeepers, the tragedies of the past, these messy things are like a huge dark cloud hanging over the lives of the Ishdar family. Since three thousand years ago, they were destined to dedicate their precious lives to that secret.

From a normal person's perspective, she could even understand the huge darkness deep in her brother's heart.

"But anyway...it's almost over."

She looked straight ahead.

Even though there was nothing in front of her but a bare wall, the feeling of blood connection still allowed her eyes to depict the outline of the wall just behind her.

Her family, her brother...

"Malik, it's time to end everything for the gravekeeper."

…………

On the other side, under the cold light, the card was reflecting a unique luster.

"Reversal of the Real World and the Underworld"

In the original game, this card belonged to Isis, and the effects of reversing the deck and the graveyard also made people suffer.

To be honest, You Ming had originally thought of finding a way to steal this thing from Isis, but he didn't expect that she would take the initiative to hand over this card together with the thousand-year-old jewelry.

Even looking back, he felt that the card Isis gave him also had a certain degree of symbolic meaning.

"The present world, the underworld..."

Of course, there is also that indispensable character.

"Shadi—if Isis isn't lying, it was that guy who opened the gate to the underworld from the outside when we were trying our best to prevent the fusion of the underworld."

The Chaos Warrior spoke slowly.

But when he said this, a hint of doubt appeared on his face under his helmet.

"But I don't understand why he would do that?"

Yeah, why did Xia Di do this?

"Who knows?"

In fact, in the original work, Shadi's behavior is very confusing, and it can only be said that it fits the positioning of the "Riddler" very well, but unfortunately his true identity was not fully revealed until the end.

Some people say that he is the thousand-year-old priest, responsible for guarding the gate to the underworld and in charge of the thousand-year-old artifact.

Some say he is the elf who once signed a contract with Atum's father, Pharaoh Akkanan, and it is even possible that he is his soul symbol, the slate elf Hassan.

Because the original work was unclear, this plot controversy did not end until the identity of the dimensional traveler was revealed in the movie "Dark Dimension".

But this actually did not completely answer the previous questions, but instead revealed more problems.

For example:
"Allowing creatures from the underworld to invade the mortal world will only create enormous hidden dangers for this world... So, what is his purpose?"

If you think about it carefully, it feels strange to hear these words coming from Mr. Pharaoh himself.

Facing the Chaos Warrior's thoughtful expression, You Ming's mouth twitched unconsciously.

According to common sense, shouldn't you be the one who knows best?

"But it doesn't matter."

Lying calmly on the sofa, You Ming simply rested his hands behind his head.

"Shadi's purpose itself is not important. We just need to get what we need to do done."

"Do you want to take on all the work and responsibilities by yourself?"

"...Which ear did you hear me say that?"

You Ming couldn't help but glance at the guy, but all he saw was a sternness in the Chaos Warrior's eyes that was completely inconsistent with his age. Perhaps, that could also be called a warning from someone who had experienced it:

“Loneliness is not pleasant, but remember that you are not alone…you can rely on others.”

Hearing this, You Ming couldn't help but roll his eyes.

He certainly understood what the Chaos Warrior wanted to say, but...

"I have no idea the topic would suddenly turn to this direction, even though I didn't say anything."

"..."

The Chaos Warrior didn't say anything, but the concerned gaze that inexplicably became like that of an elder deeply hurt You Ming.

"So I have no intention of taking on such a rubbish. Who would choose to do such a thing for themselves when they have nothing better to do?"

After curling his lips, You Ming just looked out the window.

At this moment, the sun has completely set and a bright moon is gradually rising.

Before I knew it, several hours had passed, and nearly 12 hours had passed since the start of the Duel City competition.

But now there is a problem.

'patta'

'patta'

The leather boots tapped lightly on the metal floor, and the man in the white coat walked out of the corridor of the room.

"Isono, how many more people are needed?"

"We are still short of three people, President."

"It's been 12 hours, but there are only five people."

The staff haven't arrived yet!

Glancing at the president's frown, You Ming couldn't help but yawn.

The president is a typical impatient person. In the original work, after killing Kaiba Gosaburo, he immediately overturned all of his adoptive father's original designs within a month. Not only did he directly switch the company from military industry to game industry, he also built a new Kaiba company building.

In fact, according to his standards, he planned to completely end the "Duel City" within two days, and it would be best if all the finals were completed by the next morning.

As such, he would never give up his original plan just because of the lack of people.

"Wait another hour."

Without any hesitation, Kaiba Seto spoke.

"If the people haven't arrived by then, it means they don't have the ability to break through the siege."

Having said that, his eyes couldn't help but turn to the 'yellow-haired' who was shouting at the buffet table.

"A fool who is not even as good as an ordinary bone is not qualified to participate in the feast that belongs to the strong."

"Who are you calling Mortal Bones you bastard seahorse!"

"Don't be angry, Jonouchi-kun!"

Just before Jonouchi stepped on the sofa and was about to fly over, Yugi Muto hung on his arm.

"I believe Kaiba-kun didn't mean it either."

The little angel has been trying his best to make amends and eliminate the conflict, but unfortunately, Kaiba obviously doesn't want to give him face.

"Humph."

Facing Jonouchi's exasperated look, Kaiba simply crossed his arms over his chest.

"Being so impulsive and easily angered is ultimately just a novice."

"What!!"

'Click'

Before Jonouchi could continue to rage, the clear footsteps destroyed the tit-for-tat atmosphere.

The airship's stairs chimed at that, and a figure appeared at the main entrance.

At that moment, even You Ming, who was lying flat on his back, sat up.

"Is it finally here?"

There is a hint of emerald green mixed in the gray hair, and under the colorful bangs are eyes as crystal clear as a lake.

"Zach!"
