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

Page 39

"How do you know so much?"

"Could you take a look at the build for me?"

"What's the supercomputing ring number? Can we add each other as friends?"

Are you single?

"Are you looking for an object?"

Does it have resistance?

...

"I..." Luo Bai froze for a moment, unsure how to respond to such enthusiasm.

"Om-"

A vibration came from my wrist.

The ordered card-making materials have arrived.

"Ah—I'm going to pick up something." Luo Bai squeezed through the crowd.

When everyone heard him say he was going to collect his belongings, they obediently made way for him.

Don't stay up late, see you tomorrow.

It's raining heavily, remember to bring in the laundry!

Luo Bai's melodious shouts came from the card shop, as if he wasn't planning to come back.

When he arrived outside the store, Shu Yu'er had already left.

In the rainy night, the rain poured down, the streets were deserted, and the lights were dim. A mechanical roar came down from the sky, and a black drone appeared above the sky island.

The drone slowly descended, hovering just above Luo Bai's reach. Its fuselage was soaked by rain and shimmered with a faint light.

Luo Bai raised his hand and extended the supercomputing ring, placing it in the drone's scanning area.

Buyer identity verification successful

With a "thud," a small black box slowly fell out.

Twenty blank cards of N quality + water-attribute mechanical elemental orbs, and two tubes of Einar replenishment potion.

"Starter deck, let's get started!"

Luo Bai thought excitedly and ran up to the third-floor room.

Chapter 36 Dare to use that nickname? Beat him to death!

...

Warning before viewing.

Do not build your deck based on this book.

The author of "The Ladder of Death" is not responsible for any issues arising from the author's repeated failures.

...

It was late at night, two in the morning, and the corridor of the hotel was quiet and dim.

"Let's get started!"

On my way back to my room, I could hear intermittent footsteps behind me.

Luo Bai was startled. He turned around to look, but there was no one there. Only the corridor lights at the end of the corridor were flashing blue.

"illusion?"

He murmured softly as he slowly closed the door. As soon as he closed it, he heard a faint scraping sound outside, accompanied by a slight rustling of wind, as if someone was gently stroking his door.

"Click...click...click..."

A piece of paper was slowly slipped under the door and slipped into his room, making a clicking sound as it rubbed against the rough floor.

"Wow..."

Luo Bai felt a chill run through his body.

Special services, or a female ghost?

At first glance, it seemed impossible, but considering that this is Biantana, it makes sense.

He hesitated for a moment, then bent down and picked up the piece of paper.

The paper, glowing with an old yellow hue in the dim light, revealed an unusual sense of dignity in the seemingly hastily written characters.

"No matter what sound you hear, do not open the door."

Luo Bai stared intently at the words on the piece of paper, various terrifying scenes flashing through his mind. He tried to imagine what those voices were and why they were advising him not to open the door.

hiss...

A chill swept through the night.

The temperature in the room seemed to drop by more than ten degrees instantly.

He couldn't help but shiver and said, "Let's make a sign to calm our nerves."

Luo Bai sat down at the computer, took out the freshly arrived card-making materials, and opened his usual card box.

Each card is checked for air pressure.

First, eliminate those that cannot be used for psychic communication.

Five minutes later.

"what--"

"Why can't I communicate with spirits..." Luo Bai held the [Tears of Elegy Clan. Siren Mermaid] in his hand, complaining under the lamplight.

It's as if the world owes him a wife.

Normally, as long as you inject nitric acid into the lines to sense the energy, you will feel a tingling and cool sensation in your fingertips, which is a sign of spiritual connection.

But Luo Bai discovered that some cards didn't have this feeling.

Shaddoll and Shaddoll Lizard are both acceptable, but [Shaddoll Midrash] is not, as are the entire Tear family, [Twin Dome], [Undead], [Skybreaker], [Ice Water Emperor Neon Stone Goddess], and [Inherited Fiber], etc. These cards do not react at all when sensing energy.

Just like regular playing cards.

The inability to communicate with spirits means the inability to create.

"Is he imprisoned...?" Luo Bai looked at the card art of [Tears of Elegy Clan. Sirens Mermaid], and thinking about the story behind the card art, a malicious speculation arose in his heart.

In the story of Katu, the tearful mermaid appears to be a form of slavery.

"But why can't you do it either?"

Luo Bai took out a card called "[Tears of Elegy Clan. Karedohart]" and complained, "If the story of Katu really happened, then the slave owner should be that dead octopus Karedohart."

But why can't he feel angry?

Squidward, are you in trouble too?

Who's so powerful that they locked you up too?

Feeling depressed, Luo Bai unconsciously scratched his chest.

This is a bad habit he's had since childhood: when he's holding his breath and feeling uncomfortable, he'll scratch his chest.

But they found nothing.

Luo Bai seemed to finally remember something, a chill ran through his soul, and he suddenly looked up at his chest and reached into his pocket.

"My card is missing!"

The half of the torn card he'd worn since childhood, the one with half the character "白" (white) printed on it—the only clue to his past—was gone. (See Chapter 1 for details)

Did you lose it after you traveled through time?

"Oh well, I've already time-traveled anyway."

The world has changed; how could anyone possibly find out about their origins?

"Clap!"

Luo Bai patted his cheeks twice to cheer himself up.

He grabbed a blank card and prepared to start making cards.

The familiar touch made Luo Bai pause for a moment. He slowly turned his gaze, staring at the blank card in his hand, his eyes seeming to travel through time...

The more I think about it, the deeper it gets...

The material is very similar...

The texture of the blank card that Bianata wore was very similar to the "origin card" he had worn since childhood on Earth...

"Wow..."

Thinking hard.

Luo Bai released the blank card in his hand as if he had been electrocuted.

"Holy crap... what's going on tonight?"

His breathing became erratic, and he frantically shook his head, trying to shake off the jumbled thoughts in his mind.

"Let's have a duel to clear our heads!"

Luo Bai slapped his face twice more, put away the blank card, and comforted himself, preparing to brainwash himself.

"I'll play one game and then go to sleep."

"I'm so tired today."
