Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting with an Underworld Deck, Depressing the World, Part 251
Although the discovery was faster than he had anticipated, after accelerating the progress of his plan, he was now close to having enough energy to resurrect that "master"! Moreover, after discovering the movements of Chazz Princeton and Tyranno Hassleberry yesterday, he spent a considerable amount of money to hire a famous dueling hunter to stop Jiang He and his group's actions!
At the same time, help him gather enough dueling energy at this final moment!
Now all that's left is for Jiang He and his team to break into this base!
Almost simultaneously, in the woods on the other side...
Adrian Gecko was also hidden far away in the woods, using his high-tech long-range thermal analysis lenses to keep an eye on Jiang He and his group's movements. "Are they about to enter the base?"
Adrian Gecko smiled confidently and muttered to himself.
Although the addition of Axel Brodie, a mercenary who originally belonged to Professor Cobra's side, was somewhat unexpected.
However, overall, things are proceeding as he expected!
Once Jiang He and his group have entered the base, he will also be able to infiltrate it!
While Jiang He and his group used their combined strength to draw Professor Cobra's attention, he took the shortcut through the ventilation ducts of the abandoned base that he had previously scouted!
I'm sure I can easily fool that Professor Cobra!
Then, according to the intelligence gathered from the Gecko Financial Group, they seized the special card with immense power that the other party had obtained!
Soon, the purplish-red-haired, bespectacled man, Adrian Gecko, saw Jiang He and his group in the far distance, seemingly having already entered the main gate of the abandoned temporary base!
He immediately began to act, falling from the tree to avoid the cameras in that direction and heading towards the abandoned temporary base.

Inside the entrance to the abandoned base.
Jiang He immediately sensed the presence of the little spy, Adrian Gecko, in the distant woods.
He immediately released the Ojama Trio.
Let these three little things wait for Adrian Gecko to come over, then we'll give him a "surprise"! Those three strange Duel Monsters Spirit from earlier, were they also yours, Jiang He...?
Johan Andersen vaguely noticed the Ojama Trio waiting behind him. As he continued forward, he couldn't help but say something to Jiang He with a somewhat strange expression.
He had initially thought that Jiang He only had that adorable, pet-like Duel Monsters Spirit like the Sphere Kuriboh. But he hadn't expected there to be three other little creatures that looked utterly cheeky...
"Actually, those three are also Sphere Kuriboh. The yellow one is called Sphere Kuriboh. Ojama Yellow shape, and the green one is called Ojama Green shape," Jiang He said to the little blue-haired Johan with a serious expression.
"...24..." Johan Andersen was instantly speechless.
Is that black one called Ojama Black Form...?
You're trying to fool me!
He almost believed it if the monster that was causing trouble wasn't some well-known, low-level monster!
Even the people Jaden Yuki, Chazz Princeton, and Alexis Rhodes, twitched on their faces upon hearing this.
This guy is at it again.
"Wait, there's a trap ahead!"
Just then, Jiang He suddenly heard the voice of the Gravekeeper Assailant, Ishizu, reminding him. Upon hearing this, Jiang He immediately raised his hand to stop Alexis Rhodes beside him, and at the same time gestured to the others.
"Is there some kind of trap ahead?" Alexis Rhodes asked unexpectedly, as if she had just realized something.
Seeing this, the others immediately became alert and looked around. Soon after, they saw Jiang He pick up a palm-sized stone and casually toss it in front of them.
"Snap!!"
Almost the instant the stone hit the ground, the ground in front of them suddenly emitted a sound as if a stone slab mechanism had been activated, opening up a small, sealed cave!
And it quickly closed again!
"Wow... there's such a huge crater!"
Upon seeing this, Syrus Truesdale and Chumley were so frightened that they immediately hugged each other in panic!
Even Axel Brodie, the big-nosed Little Black man who was a mercenary, and Jim, the young cowboy who often went on archaeological expeditions, and Jaden Yuki, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat!
If they hadn't noticed this and walked past, they probably would have been locked inside!
Especially looking at the structure of this pit, it seems quite sturdy!
Once you're locked up, it'll be very difficult to get out...
Even if someone else were able to rescue us, they might not be able to open this mechanism!
"We should be able to get through this soon enough."
After glancing at the situation ahead and finding no further signs of danger, Jiang He gestured to the others.
Continue forward.
The stone slab pit mechanism seems to have been designed to prevent rescue attempts, as it could not be opened again for a short period of time after being activated once.
Jiang He and his group easily stepped over it.
"Tch! No casualties there?!"
Inside the underground control room of the temporary base, Professor Cobra with the cone-shaped head saw the situation on the camera screen and immediately scoffed in dissatisfaction!
His original plan was to have Jiang He and Axel Brodie, who were at the front, locked up!
These were precisely the people he considered the most troublesome.
Jiang He's dueling strength and unknown abilities, as well as Axel Brodie, who, as a mercenary, possesses many skills.
They all pose a significant threat to his plans!
In particular, the Survival Duel device worn by Jiang He and the others seemed to have been modified in secret.
He was completely unable to absorb the duel energy as he had planned...
Even though the dueling hunters he arranged later intercepted several of Jiang He and his group and engaged them in duels, they couldn't absorb any dueling energy at all!
"Sizzle!!"
Just then, Professor Cobra frowned and noticed that the circuits in the control room suddenly lost power.
The image on one of the monitor screens became completely blurry!
"The facilities at this abandoned research base are indeed too outdated; they even had a power outage."
"Fortunately, the main control room 217 has a backup power source, so it won't affect my plans!"
The cobra -Professor Cobra frowned as he spoke, pressing the backup power button beside him.
The split screen displaying the camera feed from the corridor near the ventilation ducts on the other side quickly returned to normal. Almost simultaneously, Jiang He and his group took the elevator down into the artificial underground forest space within the research base!
Soon after, the same power outage occurred!
The sunlight that had been shining brightly in this vast artificial underground forest space suddenly dimmed due to the power outage.
It turned into a pitch-black night, like a forest.
"What?! The power suddenly went out?" Jaden Yuki exclaimed in surprise.
They were perfectly fine when they came down!
Jiang He immediately guessed the reason.
It's likely that this was the work of that little spy Adrian Gecko.
However, with his pre-arranged Ojama Trio, he believes they will soon bring a "surprise" to the other side!
Chapter 512 You are... a random-looking teacher! [Please subscribe]
"Sizzle!!"
Jiang He and his group had only taken a few more steps when they saw the lights above the artificial underground forest automatically turn back on.
It was as if the circuit had been restored.
Jiang He was not surprised at all by this.
Although those three little creatures that Ojama Trio weren't very powerful, they were obviously capable of sneakily turning on circuit switches and such!
"The power outage just now... was it really that Adrian Gecko's doing behind the scenes...!"
Seeing the lights go out and then quickly come back on, Alexis Rhodes quickly guessed what was going on and said...
If it was Professor Cobra controlling the switch to make their progress more difficult.
It's impossible that the lights in this rather vast underground forest space would be restored. It's only possible that Adrian Gecko was secretly behind it, and now Jiang He seems to have left behind some kind of Ojama Trio and the Duel Monsters Spirit, which has been restored.
"I don't know what's wrong with the lighting in this abandoned base, but I'm not letting you go any further." Just then, a voice suddenly rang out from afar.
Jiang He turned around and saw a professor with long, curly hair and wearing a purple coat, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, walking out of the woods!
They stood in front of them at a distance!
"This looks like... a teacher from the Duel Academy?!" Jaden Yuki and the Chazz Princeton were taken aback upon seeing this, and then exclaimed in surprise, vaguely recognizing the person.
But they couldn't remember the teacher's name at all...
Even Jiang He felt a little embarrassed.
In his memory, there was indeed such a Duel Academy teacher in the original timeline, who had been tricked into becoming his subordinate by that muscular, Professor Cobra. However, he only remembered his nickname, "Old Man with a Strange Face"...
"You are... Professor Sartyr from the Duel Academy?!" Alexis Rhodes quickly recognized him with some surprise.
As a diligent student who always listened attentively in class, she could still remember the name of this completely unnoticed teacher. "As expected, Alexis, you're the only diligent student who truly pays attention."
Seeing that none of the students besides Alexis Rhodes could call him by name, the long-haired, bespectacled man, Professor Sartyr, immediately darkened his face and said...
"But that's precisely why Jiang He, your boyfriend, who led you astray, seems all the more despicable."
Even you, the only student who listens attentively in my classes, sometimes skip class.
Upon hearing this, Jiang He couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.
The "skipping class" that Professor Sartyr mentioned for Alexis is clearly a special situation similar to the Shadow Riders Dark Duelists incident a long time ago.
Otherwise, he wouldn't remember Alexis skipping any classes.
After all, even Jiang Daishanren, didn't skip class!
At most, they just didn't listen at all...
Jaden Yuki and Syrus Truesdale Sho, along with the others, all showed a hint of embarrassment, truly feeling awkward about the accusation that included them as well.
There's some basis and confidence in it...
"If you want to get through here, then leave behind a worthy opponent for Shadow Duel with me!"
At this moment, Professor Sartyr also took out a Duel Disk, put it on, and looked at Jiang He and the others with a sharp gaze.
"It seems there's no other way. I'll be Professor Sartyr's opponent! It would be great to duel with a teacher from the Duel Academy!"
Jaden Yuki excitedly suggested staying behind.
"I heard this teacher was a professional duelist before!"
"Then Chumley and I will stay and look after our older brother."
Seeing this, the short Syrus Truesdale quickly offered his suggestion.
