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

Chapter 209 A Vulgar Duel (Part 2)

The blue side's turn ends.

Forwards: [Sariel], [Basilius]

Back row: [Curse of the Moon] + 3 unknown back row cards

Hand: 1

Blue Square LP: 6500

The Kondratiev wave is simple and straightforward, without any fancy embellishments.

Pure original family without R3

"Hmm..." Hongye looked at the three gloomy backstage areas, her expression somewhat solemn.

"My turn, draw a card!"

【The Phantom Spirit Network Puppet Master】

"Pretty!"

Her eyes lit up, and she thought to herself.

"Preparation, main point."

Hongye pressed [pause], her gaze sweeping over Luo Bai's territory and graveyard.

Her intuition told her that this round was crucial.

"It should be [Moon Book], [Naraku], [Forced Escape], [Judgment]..."

Fortunately, she had been tracking Luo Bai for a while and had some information about his backcourt cover card.

There was a period of time when Luo Bai and Yi Lan went to a hotel together.

She thought to herself, "I can't very well bother them, even though I'll be out in half an hour..."

[Careful Analysis]

[Reflect calmly]

End pause

The red-clad figure's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "Summon [Altering Spirit Network Puppet Master], and set one [Altering Spirit] Trap Card from your Deck."

[The Fearful Peptide Mad Dragon. Therizinosaurus] gave it a thumbs up.

“Three days later…” she said, her eyes darting around, “I’ll put on the [Haunted Death Lock of the Phantom Spirit].

"This card can be activated the turn it is Set by the effect of [Phantom Spirit]!"

The card art for the Continuous Trap - [Haunted Deadlock of the Ethereal Spirit] slowly rises.

Haunted Deadlock of the Phantom Spirit

Luo Bai had no countermeasures, and the [Haunted Deadlock] was successfully activated.

"No [Judgment]?" Hongye pondered for a moment, then said, "As a consequence of its activation, I send the card [Illusory Spirit Seeking Melusin] from my hand to the graveyard."

She breathed a sigh of relief when the [Haunted Deadlock] was successfully activated.

This means that you can counter a trap card once, dealing with the crucial trap interruption after Lobby's third turn.

"If you activate a Trap Card, this card can be Special Summoned from your hand!"

Hongye flipped one of her cards over, revealing a confident smile, and slammed the card down.

"Make your grand entrance!"

"【The Shapeshifting Scammer】!"

A crimson golem gradually appeared, slowly rising from nothingness, its form gradually becoming clearer. This golem had a unique shape, its body covered with intricate and delicate mechanical structures, giving it an eerie beauty that transcended reality.

"Faker's got a sticky personality, huh?" Luo Bai muttered to himself as he watched from afar.

Is the Feathered Spirit coming?

With a wave of her hand, Hongye continued, "Activate the [Phantom Spirit. Multi-functional Scammer] effect!"

"If this card is Special Summoned, you can Special Summon 1 other [Phantom Spirit] monster from your Deck in Defense Position!"

Her gaze swept across the deck list, finally settling on the card that Immy had given her.

"bring it on!"

At a command, gold gleamed.

"Adjust the monster - [Soulful Soulful. Malware Will-o'-the-Wisp]!"

Soothing Soothing. Malware Will-o'-the-Wisp

The platinum-gold puppet danced and leaped in the void, like an elf.

Upon seeing this strange phenomenon, Luo Bai was also somewhat surprised, muttering to himself, "She actually possesses [Will-o'-the-Wisp]..."

"Activate the effect of [Malware Will-o'-the-Wisp]!" Momiji's voice became very excited. "If this card is Normal/Special Summoned, you can Special Summon 1 [Phantom Spirit] monster from your Graveyard other than yourself in Defense Position."

"Come back, my little darling!"

Special Summon - [Phantom Spirit: Seeker Melusin].

A blue summoning circle slowly rose, and a tiny mermaid swam and soared through the void.

In an instant, four monsters of different shapes—[Network Puppet Master], [Multi-functional Scammer], [Malware Will-o'-the-Wisp], and [Pathfinder Melusin]—floated in the void.

Green, red, white, blue—all sorts of colors.

At first glance, they all seem like cute little creatures, lacking any ability to resolve situations.

"Let's witness the true form of the [Shape-shifting Spirit]!"

The woman in red was extremely excited and roared, "I will..."

Just as he was about to call out, a notification appeared from the void.

[Waiting for the other party to make a move...]

Red Leaf: "..."

What are you going to do?

She looked at Luo Bai and the gloomy Third Empress, her mind filled with unease.

"Is he going to interrupt me?"

"My first time connecting to a summon..."

"No, no, no..."

Luo Bai pondered for a moment and said, "Open the cover card - [Forced Escape Device], select [Seeking the Way of Melusin] as the target, and return it to the holder's hand."

After thinking for a while, I still decided not to let the fish go into the tomb.

"Hmph, naive!" Hongye sneered. "Discarding the card [Query Quintilana] triggers the chain effect - [Haunted Deadlock], negating and destroying [Forced Escape Device]!"

She smiled confidently.

"I've lost all my hand traps..." Luo Bai muttered, then replied casually, "C3 quick-attack spell [Cursed Eye of Tragedy]."

"Except for [Haunted Deadlock]".

When a perpetual trap leaves the field, its activated effects are not processed.

"【The Cursed Eye of Tragedy】?!" Hongye was stunned, speechless for a moment. "You...how do you have this card..."

"Is the intelligence false?"

"That's impossible, I've been watching it the whole time..."

It couldn't be that he and the dean had a hotel room together and made the pill on the spot in that half hour, could it?

Going to a hotel with a stunningly beautiful woman and doing this?

No chain reaction, effect processing.

[Catastrophe] excluding [Haunted Deadlock], gained a cost card [Query Quintilana].

[Forced Escape Device] bounces away [Pathfinder Melusin], preventing it from connecting to the tomb and triggering the search effect.

"It's okay, I still have three monsters!"

Hongye consoled herself with a thought, then continued, "I will..."

Just as he was about to call out, a notification appeared again from the void.

[Waiting for the other party to make a move...]

Red Leaf: "..."

"Are you ever going to stop?!"

She couldn't hold back anymore and lost her ladylike image.

"what--"

The man outside the iron cage let out a strange cry.

"The red leaves stomping their feet are so cute!"

"This leg... ah... I'm going to die!"

Luo Bai ignored everything outside the window, rubbing his chin as if deep in thought.

After a long pause, he slowly said, "Activate the effect of [Sariel], target one Special Summoned monster on your opponent's field, and destroy it!"

Choose one of the following: 【Multi-functional Scammer】 or 【Malware Ghost Fire】.

At first glance, it makes no difference which card you destroy, as neither of these cards has any follow-up effects on the field.

Upon closer examination, two details emerge.

【Malware Will-O-Wisp】is a modifier monster; disrupting this can prevent subsequent Synchro Summoning. However, 【Will-O-Wisp】 is placed in positions 1/3/5, while Faker places it in positions 2/4...

Place the [Network Puppet Master] in position 1/3/5.

"If the other team knows how to play..."
