Chapter 255 Domain Activation
There are roughly two ways to use domain cards.

One method is to select a specific target, drag them into a temporary alternate dimension, and engage in a one-on-one battle.

This alternate dimension will dissipate after its energy is exhausted, it is squeezed by a more powerful domain, or a duel is decided.

Secondly, it involves not specifying a target and abandoning the exploration of another dimension, which is equivalent to creating a formation for oneself on the spot.

The array will release the power of the domain, greatly enhancing the spiritual impact generated by the materialization of its own magic cards.

Regardless of the mode, it will consume the energy of the domain card itself.

The first use is to replenish what you've consumed by winning duels.

The second type is pure consumption, which cannot be replenished.

Li Guanqi stared at the gray-black area, his pupils slightly contracting.

The bullet he fired, worth 200,000, disappeared into the sea without even causing a ripple.

This was the fourth time he had witnessed the activation of a Domain Card.

The first time was with Chu Chan's imposing "I'll stake your soul on it."

Next came Mickey's eerie "Never Forget the Underworld," and the slit-mouthed woman's wickedly humorous "Toy Jar."

The domain card before us is completely different from the previous three.

It did not produce any field-specific projections, and there was only a gray-black fog, making it impossible to see the scene inside.

This should be the "unclaimed territory card" mentioned in the broadcast.

Li Guanqi tentatively reached out and touched the gray-black border.

The finger passed through without any resistance.

He can even walk in and out with ease.

This area appears to have no substantial impact on the external environment other than creating a visual obstruction and forming a thick cloud of gray fog.

"Myna!" Tang Xin's slightly anxious voice came through the earpiece.

"This unclaimed territory card is terrifying. Maybe... we should take cover for now?"

To outsiders, the scene certainly had an indescribable eeriness about it.

A cloud of gray mist appeared out of nowhere, enveloping the area, yet allowing people to move freely in and out.

But the black-clad man who had been desperately fleeing just moments before had truly vanished inside, as if swallowed up.

Li Guanqi's eyes narrowed slightly, but his voice remained calm.

"Not urgent."

"I'll wait for them here."

"They should be out soon."

Candidates who can obtain the domain card at this stage are by no means ordinary.

This is a big fish.

We must not let him slip away so easily.

"Haki-ba, you bastard."

From a high vantage point in the distance, Tang Xin looked at Li Guanqi's figure through her sniper scope, her face filled with shock and confusion.

The whole world is moving away from this area.

Why isn't he running away? Why is he waiting?
What gives him such confidence that he can still use his own cards in the late game? [Engraved Magic Bullet] is really just so-so, isn't it?

……

Meanwhile, at the island's monitoring center.

The atmosphere was somewhat solemn.

The leader of the fifth investigation team of the fifth department, a short but serious-looking young man, was frowning as he looked at Langley.

"Team Leader Langley, isn't deploying unclaimed territory cards a bit too aggressive?"

"The candidates may not be able to fully grasp the dangers of this thing."

"Moreover, once we enter the alternate dimension, coupled with the cover of this layer of gray fog, our surveillance will become ineffective."

Langley crossed his arms, leaned back in his chair, and said calmly, "Relax."

"Since they've chosen to join the Spirit Control Division, they'll have to deal with Domain Cards sooner or later."

She shrugged and said, "For now, consider it a preview."

"Moreover, this is a good bait."

After Langley finished speaking, a meaningful and cunning smile appeared on his lips.

As she spoke, she switched communication channels and connected with Deng Jun in the interrogation room.

"Seventh Brother, how's the interrogation going?"

So far, they have successfully apprehended five candidates whose identities are suspicious and who are highly likely to be "Needle".

With Lao Qi's methods, he should be able to get quite a bit out of us by now.

However, what came from the other end of the communication was Deng Jun's helpless and tired voice:

"Lanley... Chu Chan from your group just accidentally strangled one of them to death."

"Uh." Langley's expression froze instantly, and he couldn't help but force a laugh.

The monitoring room was completely silent.

After several seconds, she took a deep breath, raised her hand to cover her face, and her voice came out muffledly through her fingers.

"……sorry."

"We've caused trouble and embarrassed everyone in our group."

The Second Investigation Team of the Fifth Department of Shen was jokingly referred to internally as the "Four Heavenly Kings".

A mute, a person who takes leave strangely, a person with poor memory, and a violent criminal who can't control his emotions.

Langley felt his blood pressure soaring. It was one thing to embarrass himself in his own group, but now he had embarrassed himself in front of the whole world.

“However,” Deng Jun’s deep voice broke the awkward silence once more.

"Chu Chan seems to have gotten something out of that guy. I'll have him report the details directly to you."

After a brief silence, the communication was switched.

A slightly hoarse voice, filled with obvious guilt, rang out: "Team leader, it's me, Chu Chan."

Langley rubbed his temples, his tone tinged with helplessness and sternness.

"Zen, how many times have I told you? Control your emotions!"

"Don't follow Ah Ming's old path."

"Rats are all crazy. Deliberate provocation is their common trick. You need to learn to recognize it and stay calm!"

"This is a demerit; go back and write a self-criticism."

On the other end of the communication, Chu Chan listened silently without offering any explanation.

Langley calmed himself down and continued, "So, what were the results of the interrogation?"

Chu Chan's voice lowered slightly: "They... are all Chu Linfeng's men."

"Oh." Langley paused for a moment, then realized, "Your brother..."

"So that's it."

She finally understood why Chu Chan had suddenly lost control.

Chu Chan is usually a bit short-tempered, but when carrying out missions, he still has basic principles and a sense of propriety.

Unfortunately, the person being interrogated this time was one of Chu Linfeng's subordinates.

The closer and more familiar you are with someone, the easier it is for them to exploit your weaknesses and disrupt your mindset.

"Alright, you're no longer needed in the interrogation room," Langley said decisively.

She was really afraid that Chu Chan would "miss" the remaining ones as well, which would be a huge problem.

"Go to the island, intervene in the assessment, and become a third-party enemy."

"Mission objective: try to eliminate the remaining two or three rats."

"Based on your understanding of Chu Linfeng, you should be able to sense which people are acting strangely, right?"

The monitoring room and interrogation room fell silent simultaneously, broken only by the sound of people eating potato chips. After a while, Chu Chan replied, "We can give it a try."

"Just in time for the release of the new [Conquer the Fighting Spirit] card, I'm short on credit."

After the agents of the Soul Reaping Division officially take up their posts, "quota" will also be an unavoidable part of their work. The quota system in this practical assessment is to allow the candidates to get used to it in advance.

Langley said softly, "Okay, I'll send you the coordinates of the three airdrops."

“The ‘needles’ planted will definitely try to seize the unclaimed domain cards inside.”

Her voice grew colder.

"They absolutely hate this thing."

……

"Om..."

A slight energy fluctuation sounded.

The gray-black mist that shrouded the woodland dissipated rapidly, like the receding tide, revealing the scene inside.

Li Guanqi raised an eyebrow slightly.

This duel in the realm ended much faster than he had imagined.

The man in black who had been desperately running away and begging for mercy was now lying silently on the ground.

His body remained motionless, his thighs twitched intermittently, and wisps of smoke rose from his body, indicating that he had suffered some severe impact and lost consciousness.

Then, a buzzing sound.

A pale golden barrier erupted from the man in black, enveloping him and slowly rising into the sky, drifting towards the mechanical spaceship.

This marks the elimination of yet another candidate. Current number of survivors: 745.

The thick, dark gray fog seemed to be abruptly pulled away by an invisible hand, completely dissipating, and the woodland returned to its original dim light.

Some lone examinees hiding behind cover felt a sudden tightness in their chests.

They were lone wolves, without teammates to coordinate with, and couldn't even use their teammates' guns to buy time.

What makes the Domain Card even more despair-inducing than firearms is that it almost completely ignores cover and requires no precise aiming.

Once spotted by the other party, it can be locked onto from 200 meters away.

Once you're dragged into that area, your life or death is no longer in your own hands.

Fear spread silently among these loners, who became more cautious in hiding themselves, fearing they would become the next target.

Li Guanqi stood still, his gaze fixed on the depths of the forest, the direction the man in black was trying to escape in. If he wasn't mistaken, the person who had opened the domain was over there.

Soon, a figure slowly emerged from the shadows of the woods to the side.

The person who arrived was tall and slender, with a mermaid-like elegance in her gait.

She had a cold and exquisite face, and her skin was so white it was almost transparent in the forest light.

She had long, light blue hair, wore a tight blue leather outfit with delicate silver chains adorning the collar and cuffs, paired with matching leather pants that hugged her long, straight legs, and high-heeled boots with sharp heels.

She was like a blooming coral in the ocean, beautiful, radiant, and breathtaking.

The woman's name was Lan Yue. She stopped and looked at Li Guanqi, a playful smile curving her lips.

"Oh, who do we have here? You didn't take the opportunity to run away."

His voice was slightly languid and hoarse, like a feather gently brushing against the heart.

"So it was the [Magic Bullet] user who defeated Aoki."

The people of Biantana sometimes only remember the decks and not the names of the players, especially those decks that have left a deep impression on them.

Upon hearing this, Li Guanqi's eyebrows twitched slightly, revealing a hint of surprise.

"Aoki? Oh... that ninja-san." He nodded in realization, his gaze sweeping over the woman. "You... are you in cahoots?"

Lan Yue snorted coldly, her contempt undisguised: "I'm not comparable to that piece of trash Qingmu."

Her gaze quickly swept over the supercomputing ring on Li Guanqi's wrist, confirming that it was only a temporary model.

A destitute peasant, a complete pauper.

She made her decision.

This kind of person definitely doesn't have the money to buy their own deck; they probably only have one [Magic Bullet] deck.

However, out of caution, she still raised her hand and used her D-visual glasses to confirm the opponent's combat strength.

A line of numbers appeared on her retina: 325 million.

Three million two hundred and fifty thousand?!
Lan Yue's pupils contracted slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed across her face.

This amount... even after deducting the cost of supplies, is enough to assemble a fairly complete set of [Engraved Magic Bullet].

There might still be some left over.

The languid look on her face vanished instantly, replaced by a sharp and wary gaze.

From a rational perspective, dueling with an opponent who has a complete deck and a substantial amount of cards is too risky and unwise.

Lan Yue felt a desire to retreat and was just about to turn around and leave without making a sound.

"Hey." Li Guanqi's voice suddenly rang out.

He raised the gun in his hand, pointing it at Feiyue.

"You wouldn't be... scared, would you?"

His tone was somewhat mocking.

Unfortunately, he wasn't entirely confident that he could hit a seemingly skilled opponent before the other party could react.

It would be best to force them out of the domain and enter the alternate dimension to lock onto their location.

"You're telling me, I'm afraid of you?"

Lan Yue froze, as if her tail had been stepped on, and her fur instantly stood on end.

Her eyes flashed with a fierce light; her inner pride wouldn't allow her to show weakness in front of a desolate person.

At the same time, she heard Chu Linfeng's calm and cruel command deep in her ears.

"He's a doctor, cripple him."

Their team participated in this assessment not only to compete for a spot in the selection process.

More importantly, we should weaken the potential power of the Soul-Binding Division as much as possible without exposing ourselves.

Eliminate those with special skills, or seize or destroy key strategic materials.

For example, doctors.

For example, a card without a master.

"Yes, I'll cripple him immediately!" Lan Yue replied quickly, lowering her voice.

The rules clearly state that the impact and elimination in the domain duel are not considered malicious violence between candidates and are completely compliant.

Chu Linfeng on the other end of the communication seemed to have discovered something interesting and let out a low chuckle.

"I ran into an old acquaintance of mine over with Liu Yang."

"You deal with Li Guanqi yourself."

“I need to… have a good ‘chat’ with this old acquaintance.”

"Understood." Lan Yue decisively closed the communication.

She raised her head, her cold gaze locking onto Li Guanqi once more, her eyes now devoid of any hesitation.

The murderous intention is awe-inspiring.

She pulled a card that shimmered with a dark light from her waist and slammed it into the card slot of her wrist duel disk!

"Want to play? Then I'll play with you to the very end!"

Lan Yue's voice was icy, tinged with a cruel excitement.

"The field expands—!"

"Om-!"

A thick black mist, centered on the crimson moon and mixed with gray energy fluctuations, spread wildly in all directions like ink dripping into clear water.
