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

He could glimpse the scene of the new 003, and Hades must have seen it too. The draw decision might be related to the handling of this sequence disaster.

"003?" Shen Shen, noticing the strange word, leaned closer to the bird and whispered, "What does it mean?"

Mickey closed his eyes, sighed helplessly, and said, "Let's cancel the live stream for now."

"How can you do that!" Shen Shen exclaimed in displeasure. "Tens of millions of viewers are waiting to see the verdict in the live stream. How can I shut it down?"

As soon as the live stream was turned off, a barrage of comments flooded the screen.

"Don't turn it off!"

"I'll never sleep a wink if I don't see this ruling! Even though necromancers don't need to sleep!"

"I'll do anything, please don't turn off the live stream."

"At least let us know who won the championship..."

"Why can't we watch it? Is it unsuitable for children? No way, even a live stream from the underworld is rated 18+?"

"Real names only! I'm a grown-up ghost!"

“Look!” Shen Shen pointed at the screen and said confidently, “Everyone is in the middle of a great deal of fun. If we don’t let them see the ruling, they’ll go crazy.”

"This wasn't my decision," Mickey said helplessly, spreading his hands. "If the live stream isn't taken down..."

Before he could finish speaking, a loud bang was heard high in the sky, and an energy wave spread out, instantly destroying the eleventh-floor live-streaming drone.

The live stream screen turned completely white.

"No!" Shen Shen screamed, clutching his head, his eyes filled with despair.

“Right?” Mickey said leisurely, “Ten no Tsuki’s temper is non-negotiable.”

"I don't care! I don't care!" Shen Shen started making a fuss like a child. "I want to see the ruling. I just want to know who won."

"It's easy to find out who won," Mickey said, pointing in a direction with his thumb. "Follow me!"

Shen Shen stopped crying and her eyes were wary: "Will I really find out the verdict if I go with you?"

"Don't try to fool me again..."

“Honey, it’s really true!” A sharp glint flashed in Mickey’s eyes.

Shen Shen nodded with some skepticism: "I'll trust you one last time..."

She followed Mickey to a dark area behind the mountain, where an eerie atmosphere filled the air, and a familiar wooden door appeared.

"You damn boss," Shen Shen said squintingly, his tone sarcastic, "You're not trying to change my contract, are you?"

Uncharted Territory - Forget-Me-Not Palace, the connecting hub between the underworld and the mortal world.

The headquarters of the underworld staff, with the ability to store, modify, move, and delete spiritual memories.

“There’s a job here that’s perfect for you…” Mickey looked at Shen Shen eagerly.

Shen Shen decisively raised his hand and said seriously, "Thank you for the invitation, but I don't have a penchant for being a mother or a nanny."

It's obvious that this lousy boss wants to quit his job and go back to the real world. He doesn't know anything, so he'll definitely want to find a nanny.

"You should find another mother."

Being this person's mother? What kind of hell is that?

“But—” Mickey looked troubled, “If you don’t come in and sign the contract, you won’t get to see the first champion of the Underworld.”

"The champion will pass through Mo Wang Mansion on his way back to the mortal world. We can meet there."

"If you don't come in, you won't see it."

"Hey—who will be the champion? I'm so curious!"

Shen Shen's face grew darker and darker as he listened, his fists slowly clenching: "You son of a bitch..."

On the eleventh floor, Luo Bai and Yi Lan stood facing each other. The snow was slightly cool, and the air felt a little awkward.

[Ruling]

The ethereal voice echoed on the mountaintop. Luo Bai and Yi Lan looked up at the same time and saw a crack appear in the sky, from which a figure slowly emerged.

She was a young girl dressed in a gothic black dress, holding an exquisite golden staff in her hand. The lace on her skirt was like a black rose in the night. Her cold and beautiful face carried an undeniable majesty. She floated in mid-air, coldly looking down at the two people below.

Left Envoy of the Underworld - Locked Heavenly Moon.

Luo Bai and Yi Lan's pupils constricted, and their heartbeats quickened.

The ruling is in; how will this case be decided?

Tian Zhiyue waved his staff, and a wooden wedge flew from the void, landing steadily between Luo Bai and Yi Lan.

The wedge was entirely withered and yellow, its surface engraved with intricate runes, radiating a chilling aura of power.

Tian Zhiyue's voice was cold and authoritative, leaving no room for doubt: "The door can only be used by one person at a time."

"To plunge a wedge into one's chest is to concede defeat."

"The wedge will cause injury, but not death. The negotiation time is five minutes."

"If the negotiations fail, I will randomly determine the champion."

Upon hearing the ruling, Luo Bai did not hesitate and decisively turned to walk towards the ancient wedge.

Yi Lan was startled at the sight, her pupils contracted sharply, and she subconsciously took a step forward to follow closely behind.

The two arrived at the wedge almost simultaneously, and the atmosphere instantly became tense. Their eyes met, each carrying a hint of determination and complexity.

Luo Bai reached out first, his fingertips touching the cold wooden surface of the wedge.

At the same time, Yi Lan reached out and pressed her hand tightly against his, shouting urgently, "What are you doing!"

"What are you doing?" Luo Bai said seriously, his tone leaving no room for argument. "You were supposed to win anyway."

"What do you mean by destroying the Sirens? I don't need your pity."

"It's not like I can't afford to lose..."

For him, a victory achieved with pity was harder to accept than a defeat.

"Who pities you!" Yi Lan shouted, her voice tinged with slight anger. "I wish I could turn you into a pig's head!"

"I...I accidentally clicked the wrong thing."

"According to the rules...you should be the winner..."

Her voice gradually softened, and then she took out the card [Sky Dragon of Osiris], looked at Luo Bai, and said with pleading in her eyes, "After you go out, go to Huki of the Council and exchange the card with her for the freedom of the Tears of Elegy people."

Yi Lan handed the God Card to Luo Bai, her eyes filled with complex emotions and a hint of barely perceptible tenderness.

“Tears…” Luo Bai was startled, then pushed the card back, gritted his teeth and said coldly, “Do your own thing.”

He held the wedge in one hand and took out the blood-stained epic Blue-Eyes White Dragon card with the other, stuffing it into her hand and saying, "After you leave, give this card to Bian Yuelong's general, Nanyang Yi."

“Do your own thing…” Yi Lan said, holding her breath.

These two things are things they can never forget.

However, if one is reincarnated at the eleventh level, one will lose half of one's spirituality and may very well forget about this matter.

Neither of them dared to gamble on that 50% probability.

The only thing I can do while I still remember is to entrust the card to the other party.

Luo Bai pursed his lips, wanting to snatch the wedge and stab it into his chest, but found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull it away.

Yi Lan gripped his hand tightly, her head bowed, her expression unreadable: "No..."

Her voice was very soft, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor.

“You were going to win anyway…” Luo Bai frowned, about to say something, but was interrupted by Yi Lan, “Then why didn’t you use [Interference Ripple] to destroy [Saintess]…”

She raised her head, her eyes slightly red, and forced a stubborn look.

Luo Bai's heart clenched, and he dared not meet her gaze, trembling as he said, "Leave the [Saintess] as a target, to defend against the backline triggered by direct attacks, like a [Ripple Shield]..."

He mentioned several trap cards in a row, but the more he talked, the less confident he became.

“Then why…” Yi Lan choked up as she said, “Why did [Ling Yi] become [Sa Tian] instead of [Shizuku]?”

【Shizuku】can reduce attack and defense, and attacking 【Saintess】can also lead to victory.

"I..." Luo Bai was suddenly stunned, speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Yi Lan lowered her head, her voice trembling as she asked, "You...do you like the Saintess...?"

"I..." Luo Bai wanted to say something, but the words wouldn't come out.

"Just a reminder," Ten no Tsuki said coldly, "there's only one minute left."

Upon hearing the declaration, Luo Bai snatched the wedge with all her might, her tone resolute: "Give it to me! I'm fine, I can't feel any pain..."

A wedge piercing the chest is not fatal, but it will certainly cause bleeding and injury.

But these words were like a bomb, completely detonating Yi Lan's emotions.

She lowered her head, gripping his wrist tightly, as if suppressing some emotion, her whole body trembling uncontrollably: "When will you understand..."

Luo Bai's eyes widened suddenly as the image of the old shopkeeper's dying moments flashed through his mind.

That day, the old man gripped his wrist in the same way, trembling just as much, and said with all his might, "When...when will you understand..."

"I need to understand something..." Luo Bai muttered to himself absentmindedly.

Yi Lan slowly raised her head, her eyes red and moist. She pursed her lips, sniffled, and choked out, "When will you understand..."

"Aren't you in pain..."

"Someone is in pain!"

Those few simple words, like a thunderbolt, cleaved through Luo Bai's chaotic consciousness and pierced his soul.

"child..."

"When will you understand...?"

"The person who will feel pain for you..."

"It's...the person who loves you..."

He stared blankly at Yi Lan, his lips trembling slightly. The image of the old shopkeeper before his death overlapped with Yi Lan's expression at this moment, and an indescribable pain burst forth from the depths of his soul, tearing at his numb heart.
