Yu-Gi-Oh!: This card wants to go to you.

When he looked up at the two people dueling inside the cage, he was so shocked that he stood there stunned.

Yi Lan was equally astonished.

"Imi?!" Luo Bai exclaimed, "Why is she here too? Her codename in the dungeon is Red Leaf?"

No, something's not right about her.

Instead of the white lab coat or uniform they wore when they first met, they wore the black uniform of a supervisor.

Yi Lan wondered, "Why is she wearing a red leaf badge?"

Her doubts were quickly resolved by a conversation between passersby.

"Is this the Red Leaf, known as the most dazzling gem in the dungeon?"

"Hmm... I heard it's very alluring, but it's a bit different from what I imagined."

"She's not Hongye, she's Hongye's supervisor, I think her name is Yi-mi."

Chapter 204 The Duel of Recalling Memories (Part 1)

Immy's opponent was even more unexpected for the two of them; it was none other than the old man who had been wandering around the intelligence tavern earlier.

"Could the extraordinary card that was pledged be..." Luo Bai's eyes widened suddenly as he looked towards the open chest, where a [Crystal Machine - Lemon Crystal Dragon] card was prominently displayed.

"My turn—" The old man's fingertip pressed on the top deck of cards, a sharp glint flashing in his deep eyes, like a seasoned veteran, displaying a fierce aura, "Draw a card!"

The storm gathered, unleashing a tangible impact.

Those watching in front of the iron cage were jolted back half a step.

"Holy crap, this old man..."

"He must have been a big shot when he was young."

Many people raised their hands to shield themselves from the wind, their faces filled with shock and awe, and they expressed their feelings.

The duel quickly progressed into the main phase for the homeless old man.

He fell into deep thought, his lips twitching as if he were calculating something.

Luo Bai also surveyed the abstract scene, quickly constructing a strategic analysis map in his mind.

Immy (forward): [Phantom Spirit. Network Puppet Master, 1600/1700] (Attack), [Phantom Spirit. Queries Quintilanak, 0/2400] (Defense)

Backcourt: Two unknown cover cards

Two cards in hand, Red's LP: 8000

The venue looks fairly healthy overall.

Conversely, homeless elderly people are at a disadvantage.

Homeless old man in front: A strange cover

Backcourt: One unknown card

Including the two cards just drawn, the blue side has LP2400.

“It’s hard to win…” Luo Bai habitually put himself in the shoes of the homeless old man.

We don't know what card they used, but with two hands in the front and two hands in the back, and 3200 against 8000, their resources have been rolled around like this, it's a huge disadvantage no matter how you look at it.

Just then, the homeless old man moved.

He activated the front-row cover monster, letting out a hoarse yet resolute roar: "Flip Summon—[Hope of the Wind]!"

The Hope of the Gentle Breeze

“Kamui…” Imi’s gaze froze for a moment before returning to its cold indifference.

"Activate the effect of [Divine Might]!" the old man continued, "Special Summon one [Gentle Breeze] Tuner monster from the Deck!"

Everyone was shocked by these words.

"Adjusting monsters?!"

"Could it be... that it's coming?!"

"The dungeon is a bit hot today."

...

Immi pondered for a moment, and inexplicably did not activate Gaika, gripping her wrist tightly as if harboring some kind of expectation.

No chain interruption.

"Special Summon - [Gentle Breeze Eagle]!" the old man said.

"If this card is Normal/Special Summoned, you can activate this effect: Send 1 'Gaze' monster from your Deck to the Graveyard, and then Special Summon 1 'Gaze' monster from your hand."

"I will send [Gentle Breeze Roc] to the Graveyard for Special Summoning—"

"【Pilija, the Divine Descendant of the Gentle Breeze】!"

The mysterious and solemn light, like the dawn breaking, instantly filled the entire space. The earth seemed to sense some ancient call, and a lush green meadow emerged, like a fairyland.

The little penguins are so cute!

Accompanied by a light yet stirring melody, a divine priestess dressed in magnificent lavender tribe attire, accompanied by her loyal little penguin, gracefully approaches amidst the attention of the crowd.

“Pilijia…” Immi frowned, her head throbbing slightly.

"Activate the effect of [Pilija]!" The old man's voice was excited and his face radiant, once again attracting everyone's attention. "Special Summon another [Gentle Breeze Eagle] from the graveyard."

"I'm upgrading the star levels of [Pilija, the Divine Descendant of the Gentle Breeze] and [The Azure Eagle of the Gentle Breeze], both at level 3!"

"Dispel the confusion and bewilderment of the world."

"Hear my call."

"Divine wind descends!"

Synchro Summon!

The strong wind whipped the old man's tattered overcoat, making it rustle loudly. Amidst the chaos of heaven and earth, the stirring sound pierced through the sandstorm, shaking the floating dust.

"Appear..."

"Level 6, [Great Wind's Playing Style]!"

"Boom—"

In an instant, the air currents surged, and a powerful energy burst forth from the Duel Disk. At the eye of the storm, amidst a deafening roar, the green-haired witch holding a staff stood resolutely.

Playing style! Take me to the top again!

Immi was forced back several steps by the strong wind, her eyes flashing with a wary look.

"【Playing Style】?!" Luo Bai seemed to recall some terrifying memory.

My heart skipped a beat, but I quickly recovered.

"Even without considering the [Soul Reaver] backline, the damage is still insufficient."

He gently pinched his chin as he pondered, his gaze drifting towards the back of the homeless old man, Gaika.

"[Great Gale's Ball Style] effect!" the old wanderer waved his hand and said, "When this card is successfully Synchro Summoned, you can add one [Gale] card from your Graveyard to your hand."

“I will…” He turned over the graveyard, his eyes suddenly flickering, “I will add [Gentle Breeze Liz] to my hand.”

Let's settle this once and for all!

"Advance to the combat rank!"

As soon as those three words were spoken, everyone tensed up, their eyes filled with anticipation.

"【Great Gale's Playing Style, 2000/1300】Attack【Phantom Spirit.Query Quintilanak, 0/2400】(Defense)!"

Phantom Spirit. Search for Quintilanak

A hint of doubt flashed across Imi's face as she asked, "What are you thinking?"

"【Query Quintilanak】 has higher defense."

"Fight back!"

[Query Kuntilanak] With his hands covering his chest, a dazzling golden barrier emerged from the surroundings in an instant, like a solid fortress, forcefully dispelling the oncoming gale.

The powerful aftershock spread outwards, heading straight for the homeless old man not far away.

At this critical moment, [Ball Wind] did not back down despite the recoil. She parted her lips slightly, and the incantation flowed like an ancient poem. She raised her staff high, and the tip of the staff emitted a bright emerald green light.

As if manipulated and lured by some mysterious force, the shockwave suddenly changed direction and rushed toward Imi with unstoppable force.

"What?!" (X99)

Immi's pupils dilated suddenly, and she quickly raised her hand to block the shockwave.

"boom--"

Red team's LP: 8000 → 7600

The air became deathly still.

The old homeless man slowly uttered in a hoarse, deep voice: "While [Great Gale's Ball Style] is on the field, damage inflicted by your [Gale] monster battles is borne by your opponent..."

Before he could finish speaking, the onlookers were already agitated.

"Ah...this...it seems like I've taken the test before!"

"The final, most challenging question in the social recruitment written test: [Electric Emperor] vs. [Ball Style]..."

"So it can reflect damage...?"

"Who can answer this correctly...?"

...

"The battle isn't over yet!" the homeless old man roared like thunder.

"【Gentle Breeze Eagle, 600/1000】Attack【Query Quintilanak, 0/2400】(Defense)!"

A similar scene unfolded again. The [Gentle Breeze Eagle] flew to [Query Kuntilanak], flapped its tiny wings, stirred up a breeze, and then the golden barrier trembled violently back.

The shockwaves first hit the homeless elderly.
