Dark Duel, as the chairman, I have no choice but to take part in it myself!

Although this is a world centered around the theme of "duel", the Church also exists here.

Not only that, due to the dueling culture of this world, the people of the Holy See also have their own unique card decks.

For example, the most typical one is the underworld deck called "Counter Angel".

And for some reason the god they believe in doesn't have a specific name or anything like that.

Believers simply call him 'God'.

At that time, there were many nuns, priests and other clergy in Shenghua Church, some of whom were even part-time students.

But now it is different. Due to the decline of the college itself, the church was abandoned early.

I’m afraid that no one will go to that place for ten days or half a month now, and there is not a single nun or priest left.

Although it is a church, it is probably even more eerie than a haunted house now.

Could it be that place?

You Xian glanced at the icon of the pointed-roof building marked on the map on the wall of his office and fell into deep thought.

If it happened in a church, it doesn't seem impossible.

If you trace back the history of that place, it does have a long history. If the card deck is really hidden there, it is possible that it will not be discovered.

So, what that sentence means is that you have to arrive at the Church of Saint Hua at 12 o'clock at night, follow an unknown law to see a certain existence inside (the Son of God), and then you can get the power of death (deck).

Uh, this Son of God could be...

"Shadow?"

After noticing the 'Son of God' and then thinking about the previous words about the dead, puppets, and shadows, the first thought that popped into Youxian's mind was that magical graveyard deck.

If you trace it back, [Shadowdoll] is indeed a very old deck.

Moreover, the [Shadow Doll] deck also has a very special position in the history of Yu-Gi-Oh!. Its appearance is almost a sign that Yu-Gi-Oh! is officially starting to accelerate.

After [Shadowdoll] was punished by Coke Girl, everyone was very keen on making fun of this deck.

For example, the topics that everyone likes to talk about are "When will Nama be released from prison?", "Let Nama play cards!", and "When Nama is released from prison, don't forget to tell your father during the family sacrifice."

And... the Midrash that has been torturing duelists of all kinds for years, that is... the millet.

As a powerful Fusion Monster with destruction resistance and a card that allows both teams to Special Summon only once per turn, Midrash with 2200 attack points plays a decisive role in many matchups.

Especially after combining it with Shaddoll's own trap card [Shaddoll's Apocrypha], Midrash gains the ability to be special summoned during the opponent's turn, which indirectly increases its own strength once again.

Just like Long Huiqiao obtained the Angel Axis, Xiaomi underwent an obvious qualitative change after obtaining the [Shadow's Pseudo-Code].

Unless the opponent is a deck that uses a drop or a board removal card like Bad Beast, or a deck that doesn't need to rely on special summons to start...

Otherwise it is very, very painful to face Midrash.

If the hidden deck is really Shadowdoll, then it is indeed as Fujing said, an ancient deck with extremely high compatibility and powerful suppression terminal.

Most importantly, Midrash can also be incorporated into the build of the Tearful Lament tribe.

Especially now that he doesn't have the Earth Angel and the Kusha Nuwei components...

But what does this passage mean when it says that if you try to control death, you are destined to become a puppet of the deceased?

It can't be that if I use it too much, I will become a Shaddoll, right? That price is too high.

"Tsk, it seems necessary to go and check out the situation."

You Xian glanced at the wall clock on his wall, and the hour hand on the clock face was pointing to 10 o'clock.

"Although I still don't know the exact situation, but..."

You Xian put down the pen in his hand, and then reached for the landline phone beside him.

He decided to take action immediately tonight. After all, he felt particularly insecure without a deck of cards in hand.

It just so happened that the time was about the same, definitely enough for him to finish the work at hand and arrive at the church before 12 o'clock.

As for the preparation work...

"Eleanor? Are you asleep?"

"What do you want to do?"

"Not asleep? That's great. Why don't you come to my office?"

"Now?"

"Yes, now, your job as secretary is back."

"But I'm not your secretary at all! What do you want to do?"

"Anyway, just come here first and don't worry about it."

Snap—beep, beep, beep

Hearing the dead tone on the other end of the line, Eleanor, who had already changed into pajamas, put down the phone in confusion.

WTF?

Chapter 27 Midrash

Youxian naturally had his own considerations when he called Eleanor over.

First of all, assuming that deck is really [Shadowdoll], then it is different from the previous chairmen who did not use [Shadowdoll] at all.

As a deck that also focuses on graveyard expansion, it has a very high compatibility with the [Tears of Elegy].

Not only can it be used as a backup deck, but some of its components can also be added to the [Pearl Tear Elegy Tribe] to make this pure [Pearl Tear Elegy Tribe] stronger.

Therefore, the sooner you get the deck that looks like Shadowdoll, the better.

And now the time is just right, in two hours it will be midnight.

Secondly, since Youxian has already learned from Fujing that in order to obtain [Shadow], he must undergo a duel trial.

Then of course you have to make some preparations in advance.

Although his [Pearl Tear Elegy Clan] cannot be used indiscriminately now, he has already come up with another solution.

And... although the Narcissus Mermaid said not to abuse the power of the [Pearl Tear Elegy Clan], if you use it less, perhaps the consumption will not be so terrible.

For example, putting a mermaid in a complete build...

Before that, Youxian wanted to bring someone with him to the church to look for the deck that might be hidden.

The most suitable candidate should be Fu Jing. After all, the strength of the [Divine Monument] deck itself is very high.

Unfortunately, Youxian couldn't let Fujing know that he couldn't use his deck for the time being. He had just promised Fujing to help fight the Dark Duelist, but now he couldn't even use his deck. It sounded a bit unreasonable.

And You Xian hasn't really believed Fu Jing yet.

On the contrary, Eleanor, who did not take the opportunity to harm him after he fainted, is more trustworthy.

dong dong dong-

At this moment, a knock on the door broke the silence of the night.

You Xian put the diary back into the drawer and pressed the door-opening button on the table.

"come in."

After getting the answer, Eleanor walked carefully into the chairman's office.

Eleanor had changed into a new set of clothes, including a new pair of shoes, but the collar was still around her neck.

It is worth mentioning that Eleanor was wearing particularly thick clothes at this time, just like the moon woman who valued cotton over clothing. Eleanor wished she could put on four or five layers of coats.

Maybe because she was wearing too many clothes, there were obvious sweat stains on her neck and forehead.

You Xian looked at her in surprise, then opened his phone and looked at the temperature displayed on it as if to confirm.

"Are you cold?"

"Don't worry about me. Just tell me why you asked me to come here so late at night?"

Eleanor shrank her head, as if trying to keep as much distance between herself and Youxian as possible.

In fact, until now Eleanor has been suspecting that You Xian is trying to do something bad to her.

After all, it was late at night, and there was probably no one else in the office building except You Xian. If You Xian really wanted to do something to her, she probably wouldn't be able to stop him.

You Xian glanced at her and then stretched out his right hand.

"Take out your deck."

"Ah? What do you want to do?"

Eleanor was obviously a little surprised, this was a development she had not expected.

"I want to see your deck construction."

"??? You called me here in the middle of the night just for this?"

"if not?"

"Obey, let me be healthy!"

"..."

With a confused look on her face, Eleanor finally handed her deck to Youxian.

"Oh, there is one more thing. Come with me to the church later."

After taking the deck, You Xian raised his head and added a sentence.

"why?"

"Anyway, just leave it alone. It's not a bad thing."

====================Dividing line=================

click-

The dead leaves under Youxian's feet made a slight sound, but it sounded extremely harsh in the silence of the night.

The church at night exudes a desolate and gloomy atmosphere, as if this is not the residence of God but a mass grave full of the dead.

The church of Shenghua College is located in a small corner on the south side of the college, close to the third student duel arena. Apart from this, there are no other buildings in that place.

When Youxian and Eleanor arrived at that place, Eleanor subconsciously shrank her neck again.

This time she was no longer worried that You Xian wanted to attack her, but felt a little terrified because of the influence of the surrounding environment.

They successfully arrived at the church gate under the cover of dusk.

You Xian took a look at the church, which looked a little dilapidated, and then took out a key engraved with a coat of arms from his pocket.

"Let's go."

"Why do we have to come here at this time? Can't we come during the day?"

Eleanor spoke very softly, as if she was afraid of disturbing the gods of this place.

"What you said makes sense, but it's a pity that it has to be at this time."

The church door latch made a dull click, and then Youxian pushed open the church door with a harsh metal friction sound.

"Don't be afraid, at least I'm still here with you."

He turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone and entered the church first.

It was unknown what mechanism was triggered, but as soon as he stepped onto the stone floor, the lights around the church were immediately lit up.

However, the brightness of the light was very weak, and it could only illuminate the winding passage, but things deeper inside could not be seen.

There seems to be a sacred yet mysterious power lurking in this ancient building.

Eleanor followed You Xian nervously, but her hand unconsciously grabbed the corner of his clothes.

The light here was bright enough for her to see the road ahead, but she could only move slowly like a blind person.

No one has been here for a long time, so everything is covered with a thin layer of dust.

Youxian and Eleanor carefully controlled their bodies, trying their best to prevent their clothes from being stained by these filth as they moved forward.

"How much longer do we have to go?"

"almost."
