Yu-Gi-Oh!: This isn't a duel!

Chapter 275 The Bounty for Duel in the Dark Zone! Bonds Among Small fry!

Upon seeing You Yang approach, she immediately rushed over as if she had seen a savior, smiling and snuggling against You Yang's arm like a cat trying to please its owner.

You Yang waved his hand dismissively, but seeing that he couldn't get rid of him, he raised an eyebrow and asked:

"You mean, the 'Livestream Twins'?"

"BINGO! You got it right!"

Lena snapped her fingers, her eyes sparkling with cleverness!

"Since they have a way to break through the blockade and come to the human world, they must also have a 'back door' or a special passage to go back!"

She winked slyly, her expression seeming to say:

Since we can't get through the official channels, let's try some "unconventional" methods.

"Looking for those twins?"

Hearing this, Xiaoye nodded thoughtfully, her previously furrowed brows relaxing slightly.

"Logically speaking, this is indeed a feasible solution. However..."

She paused, her tone then becoming dejected:

"The biggest problem is that I have no idea where they are hiding now."

"It was precisely because I lost their signal during the tracking process that I..."

Upon hearing this, Lena's initial high spirits instantly vanished.

She scratched her head awkwardly. After all, she had sneaked out with Gemini, but they had too much fun and basically lost contact.

It wasn't until You Yang "physically woke it up" that it went back online.

The atmosphere seemed to have reached a stalemate again.

"If it were them, I might know where they are."

Seeing the two of them at a loss, You Yang's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mysterious smile.

As he spoke, he slowly took out his phone and showed the location on it.

Seeing the two men's eyes widen instantly, You Yang put away his phone and turned his gaze to the three brothers lying on the ground like dead pigs not far away. His eyes instantly turned cold.

"However, before I head out to find the twins, I have some personal matters to ask these three guys. Let's wait a bit."

"Yay!!"

"Boss is awesome! I knew you'd be set for life if I followed you!"

Lena jumped up excitedly, waved her arms vigorously, then grabbed the still-dazed Xiaoye and rushed towards the unconscious trio like dragging luggage.

"Don't worry, boss! We'll take care of waking them up!"

"We guarantee excellent service!"

The two arrived in front of the "mountain of meat".

"Forehead……"

Seeing the three burly men lying haphazardly on the ground, Xiaoye's professional ethics as a sheriff made her hesitate. She looked at Lena, somewhat at a loss:

"Um... how do I do it?"

"Although they are suspected of maliciously sealing away spirits, there is currently no explicit arrest warrant, according to the Public Security Maintenance Act..."

"Oh dear, my dear officer, what kind of time is this to be so concerned about all those rules and regulations!"

Compared to Xiaoye's inner turmoil, Lena, as a "wanted criminal," was clearly much more experienced and had absolutely no psychological burden.

She rubbed her hands together with a wicked grin, and as the movement quickened, a sickening "sizzling" sound began to fill the air.

Countless fine blue currents pulsed wildly at her fingertips, like thirsty little snakes.

A mischievous smile crept across Lena's adorable face:

"For someone who's pretending to be asleep, of course—"

"Direct electrotherapy!!"

Before she could finish speaking, her hand, crackling with high-voltage arcs, had already pressed down on the foreheads of the three men without any hesitation.

"Zzz—!!!"

The blinding white light instantly illuminated the dark corner.

"Aaaaaaahh ...

Accompanied by a series of shrill screams like pigs being slaughtered, the three brothers, who had been in a deep coma, suddenly sprang up like frogs that had been electrocuted, their bodies convulsing, instantly becoming as clear-headed as could be.

"What...what are you trying to do?!"

In the dimly lit corner of a dead-end alley, the three brothers, who had been so arrogant just moments before, were now huddled together in a ball.

They huddled together tightly, as if they could draw even the slightest sense of security from each other's trembling bodies.

As You Yang and his two companions pressed closer, the fear in their eyes was magnified infinitely, and even their teeth were chattering uncontrollably.

From their perspective, behind the man with his hands in his pockets, there was a highly oppressive virtual black sky, with dark purple data light surging wildly within it, making him look like a demon king emerging from the abyss.

You Yang stopped in his tracks, a slight twitch at the corner of his eye, and turned to look at Lena, who was still posing beside him.

"I said... could you please remove the black background special effects?"

He pointed to the still-churning dark data stream behind him, his tone filled with deep speechlessness:

"The way you're setting the mood makes me sound like the ruthless villainous boss."

"Huh?"

Lena blinked her innocent-looking big eyes, and the mechanical cat ears on her head twitched twice in confusion, as if she didn't realize she had done anything wrong at all:

"Isn't it cool? Isn't the atmosphere pretty awesome right now?"

"That's called 'overwhelmingly domineering'!"

"Stop talking nonsense and get out of here!"

"Tch, they really have no sense of romance..."

Lena muttered and waved her hand reluctantly.

"Om-"

With a soft sound of data dissipating, the virtual black curtain that had enveloped the alleyway instantly turned into countless points of light and disappeared, revealing the real alleyway that was dirty, dilapidated, and filled with the smell of household garbage.

You Yang calmed himself down, then glared at the troublemaking girl before turning back to the trembling three brothers.

His gaze sharpened instantly, and his voice was deep and powerful:

"Alright, enough chit-chat."

"Answer me—why did you arrest her?"

As he spoke, You Yang turned to the side and pointed to Xiao Ye, who was standing to the side with a cold expression.

Following You Yang's gaze, the three brothers looked timidly at the girl who had her arms crossed.

Gustav, the eldest brother, swallowed hard, cold sweat trickling down his fleshy face, and stammered:

"I...we didn't want to either...we just...accepted someone else's request."

"A commission?" You Yang raised an eyebrow, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Seeing that You Yang and his group did not intend to immediately deal with them, and were even willing to communicate, the second brother Slink's originally desperate mind instantly became active again.

In an attempt to secure leniency, he immediately preempted his elder brother and began to add details, like spilling beans:

"Yes, it's a request from the 'Duel on the Dark Web'!"

"That's an underground network that can only be accessed through special channels."

"Someone posted a high bounty on it. The task is to go to a designated location to collect a special golden hourglass."

As Slink spoke, he gestured, as if afraid You Yang wouldn't understand:

"The other party said that as long as the hourglass lights up, you should follow the direction indicated by the hourglass."

"It will lead us to our goal."

"The mission objective is... to defeat the person the hourglass is pointing at."

"Once defeated, that person's consciousness data will be automatically sealed in an hourglass. Afterwards, we just need to return the hourglass to receive a large bounty!"

Seemingly afraid that You Yang wouldn't believe him, Slink hurriedly took down his duel disk, quickly tapped it a few times, and then unfolded it and handed it to You Yang.

"Look! This is the bounty page!"

You Yang looked down. He saw that on the holographic projection interface, which was glowing with a faint blue light, there was indeed a bounty mission displayed at the top.

The quest issuer was a string of gibberish, and the quest description, as Slink had said, consisted only of cold, hard steps and an enticing bounty, exuding an ominous aura.

"Is it another one of those sneaky tricks..."

You Yang stroked his chin, staring thoughtfully at the interface for a while. Then his gaze sharpened again, scrutinizing the three down-on-their-luck fellows before him as if examining prey.

"Since it's about money, I have one more question."

He pointed to the cards scattered on the ground, and Gustav's "genuine" card that he hadn't had time to retrieve:

"Where did you get that [No.] card that truly possesses elven power, and those obviously overpowered general-purpose cards?"

You Yang immediately pictured the powerful hand traps in Slink's and his friends' decks.

[Warbreaker], [Quick Attack Scarecrow]

Although these so-called "attack declaration traps" are not as valuable as those simple and powerful board clear cards in the current environment.

However, in this world where card resources are strictly controlled, these cards with special effects are definitely not something that just any street thug can get their hands on.

On the trading market's rankings, these life-saving hand traps are quite expensive.

How could these three guys, who look like they're just scraping by in a garbage dump, possibly deserve such a luxurious setup?

You Yang's icy gaze swept over the three of them like a scalpel.
