Investigator in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5DS World

"Nice to meet you, I'm Marcel."

"Let's go to the conference room and have a seat. I'll give you the details."

Marcel gestured for them to proceed.

Ryuichi Banjou, along with Yugi Muto and the others, followed them into the conference room.

Marcel did not immediately recount what had happened; instead, he asked:

"Are any of you familiar with the legend of Nightmare Town?"

Wan Zhanglong shook his head and said:

“I don’t know, Officer Marcel. Please get to the point.”

"We are here to inquire about the incident involving Mr. Sogoroku and Professor Hopkins."

Marcel smiled and said:

"Don't worry, their disappearance seems to me to be related to the legend of Nightmare Town."

Wan Zhanglong asked with some doubt:

"Is it related to the legend of Nightmare Town?"

Marcel smiled and nodded, then began to recount the origins of Nightmare Town.

Nightmare Town wasn't originally called by this name.

Its name is Hope Town, which means a town that brings hope to people.

At first, Hope Town was just an ordinary little town.

Until a change in one family led to a transformation in the entire town.

They had a dream.

In her dreams, the girl is sometimes a magician and sometimes a butcher wielding a scythe.

The boy sometimes becomes a black knight, and sometimes a knight of justice.

In the end, their dream worlds were connected.

This incident provided Hope Town with another topic of conversation after meals.

However, this is only the beginning, not the end.

Soon, the entire town was enveloped in a dream world.

Gradually, some people began to enter a dream state and never wake up again, becoming vegetative.

The people of Hope Town searched everywhere for witch doctors and sorcerers to exorcise evil spirits.

But they never returned.

A rumor gradually began to circulate.

Nightmare Town was attacked by nightmares, and the town was cursed.

More and more people began to flee this place, and Hope Town ceased to exist.

Some people couldn't bear to leave their hometowns, so they continued to live here.

And they renamed the town.

This is Nightmare Town today.

Wan Zhanglong asked:

"Officer Marcel, do you mean that Mr. Sugoroku and Professor Hopkins were attacked by nightmares?"

Marcel nodded and said:

"Yes, that's exactly it!"

“If it weren’t for that, we wouldn’t have been able to find any trace of them.”

"It can only be that the nightmare attacked them and then concealed their existence with an illusion."

Ryuichi Banjou and Yugi Muto exchanged a glance.

This kind of thing, which transcends science, may seem like a pipe dream to others.

However, this was not the case in the eyes of Ryuichi Banjou and Yugi Muto.

Two words came to mind.

Elf!

Such natural phenomena that defy science in the real world are mostly caused by spirits.

Wan Zhanglong continued to press for answers:

"Officer Marcel, do you have any further clues about that dream about your original family?"

Could you tell us more about it?

Marcel was stunned for a moment upon hearing Ryuichi Banjou's words.

Then a look of ecstatic joy appeared on his face.

he.....

He didn't even consider himself mentally ill; instead, he was questioning himself.

Marcel has made these remarks on numerous occasions.

Without exception, his colleagues in other regions regarded him as mentally ill or crazy.

After all, it sounds like wishful thinking.

Today, someone actually believed in me?

Marcel felt a surge of emotion, as if he were someone who would die for a true friend.

Is this what it feels like to be trusted?

Marcel quickly nodded and said:

"Of course, no problem!"

"What aspect would you like to know about? Your question is too broad; I don't know how to answer it right now."

Wan Zhanglong continued to inquire:

Did the family inadvertently obtain a mirror at the beginning of the dream?

Marcel paused for a moment.

Mirror?

He had assumed the other party would ask for more detailed information about the legend.

Unexpectedly, the other party asked about a mirror?

This touched upon a blind spot in his knowledge.

However, since the words had already been spoken, Marcel could only desperately try to recall them, attempting to find a clue.

Yugi Muto turned to Ryuichi Banjo and asked:

"Long Yi-kun, do you mean... the mirror is related to this?"

Wan Zhanglong nodded and said:

"Yes, I do suspect it's related to this matter."

"If I could see the mirror of that family from back then, perhaps I could find a clue."

Marcel became even more nervous upon hearing this.

He kept thinking about the mirror.

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed.

Marcel suddenly stood up and shouted:

"I've got it! Old John! He must know what you mean by mirror!"

"I don't really have much of an impression of the mirror you asked about."

"But in Nightmare Town, there is an old man who I once heard mention that family. He seems to know a lot about them!"

Chapter 167 Neiros

Wan Zhanglong pressed on, asking:

Is Old John currently in Nightmare Town?

Marcel nodded.

“Please come with me, I will take you to old John’s house, he will surely be able to answer your questions.”

The four quickly left the police station.

Looking at the sparse figures on both sides of the road, Wan Zhanglong asked curiously:
