Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting with an Underworld Deck, Bringing Despair to the World, Part 71
Hearing Jiang He He's strange, somewhat disbelieving tone, the three Ojama Trio, Huang, Lv, and Hei, immediately nodded in unison to confirm.
"Really, brother, that woman attacked you!" Ojama Yellow said with certainty.
"She was standing in front of you, looking conflicted for a long time, and said something like, 'Anyway, no one will see.'" Ojama Green immediately nodded in agreement and recounted what she had seen.
"Of course, it's also possible that the woman just kissed you," Ojama Black added at the end.
Hearing the noise, even the little guy, Sphere Kuriboh, who had just finished sleeping, surfaced. "Kri-Kri."
Hearing the squeaking of the Sphere Kuriboh, it seems they weren't lying about Ojama Trio ' emotional state.
Jiang He's expression turned somewhat strange upon hearing this, "The three of you actually weren't lying..."
Then, with a subtle glance, he looked at Asuka Tenjouin, who was asleep in the caregiver's chair beside Atticus Rhodes's bed, her hands resting on the edge of the Alexis Rhodes. Could Alexis really be... just as he had guessed?
Jiang He simply couldn't believe that someone as strong-willed and resolute as Alexis Rhodes, with her unwavering sense of self-discipline, would kiss someone on the cheek out of gratitude or for any other reason...
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt wide awake!
Jiang He stroked his chin, pondering.
If you want to verify this further, it seems quite simple.
Alexis's missing, silly older brother, Atticus Rhodes, has been found; he's lying in that hospital bed over there.
Alexis no longer felt the pressure that had been weighing on her heart.
In this regard, there's no need to go to him again, someone who knows about the Shadow Duel, to ask about her brother's whereabouts, as before.
There is no corresponding reason.
Jiang He stated that he only needs to keep an eye on Alexis's movements to easily determine the situation...
"Jiang He, you're awake."
Just then, Alexis Rhodes's voice came from not far away.
Jiang He turned around and saw that Alexis Rhodes, who had been sitting on the chair watching over her brother, had woken up from her sleeping position.
She was getting up from over there, smiling as she looked at him.
"Nurse Fontaine just brought over two bento boxes. I put yours in the insulated box, and I'll get it for you now." Alexis said, walking to the counter next to her and taking the bento box out of a small transparent box.
After opening it, he presented it to Jiang He.
"Ahem... Alexis, my hand seems to have gone numb from sleeping, and I can't move it at all for now. What should I do?" Jiang He coughed, pretending that his hand was numb.
Now it's time to show off the real skills.
"Huh?" Alexis Rhodes paused for a moment, then quickly composed herself and said.
"Well, then I'll reluctantly feed you since you just saved your brother." "Listen carefully! This is a one-time exception!"
Seeing Jiang He He's somewhat strange expression, Alexis Rhodes immediately glared at him and added a firm statement.
However, Jiang He was completely unfazed by her attitude. He even wanted to retort, "Girl, are you trying to outdo me in acting?"
He initially thought his performance, despite his numb hands, was already a masterful display of acting skill, but Alexis was even more formidable, making it almost impossible for him to detect any trace of acting...
If it weren't for the previous disruption of Sphere Kuriboh four-way confirmation between the Ojama Trio and the little guy, Jiang He really wouldn't have noticed the problem with the information.
Sure enough, the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie... But now, he's certain!
Jiang He immediately felt quite pleased with himself.
I leaned comfortably against the pillows, eating the octopus sausages Alexis fed me while chatting with her.
"Alexis, has your brother woken up yet?" Jiang He asked casually, his pockets bulging.
He had previously instructed the Dragon Buster Blader to hold back during his strike, so Alexis's brother's injuries should be less severe.
"Not yet, but now that the person has been found and is out of danger, I think they will wake up eventually."
Alexis Rhodes shook her head, but quickly smiled and replied.
"You really don't need to worry about that. The dark power that originally controlled him should have been sealed inside that card."
Jiang He nodded, giving Alexis an affirmative answer.
He could easily tell that the reason Alexis's silly older brother, Atticus Rhodes, hadn't woken up yet was entirely because he had been controlled by dark forces, which affected his consciousness. This, combined with the injuries he had sustained from long-term Shadow Duel, was the result of a double effect.
It has to be said that Jiang He (Wang Wang) discovered that the Mark of the Crimson Dragon and Dragon Heart Mark he had previously exchanged for possessed incredibly useful Crimson Dragon Mind Power!
They can easily perceive many subtle details about others and spirits.
It's not just something that functions as a phone, as he initially thought...
It's safe to say that its Crimson Dragon's Power of Protection Dragon Head Mark!
"Keri keri!"
Just then, the Sphere Kuriboh little guy suddenly seemed to have noticed something and spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Jiang He couldn't help but look towards the window of the infirmary in the distance.
Soon they saw a strange-looking little bat with prismatic, jewel-like scarlet eyes hanging upside down outside the window, peering out to investigate what was happening inside.
It looked exactly like the materialized form of a Duel Monsters Spirit from his memory...

"Could that be... Camula's Vampire Bat?"
Seeing the slightly strange-looking bat outside the infirmary window, Jiang He immediately recognized it and muttered to himself.
It seems another Shadow Riders Dark Duelists has arrived at the island where the Duel Academy is located...
He remembered that such a scene did indeed occur in the original timeline.
A female vampire Shadow Duel who uses materialized Duel Monsters Spirit Vampire Bat, to spy on others.
This prompted Jiang He to sigh in admiration.
The Shadow Riders ' offensive is truly swift and fierce.
No sooner had one Darkness fallen than a new Shadow Riders Dark Duelists followed, preparing to attack.
"What's wrong, Jiang He?" Alexis Rhodes quickly noticed Jiang He's unusual behavior and followed his gaze to the direction outside the window.
But they didn't see anything.
The materialized Vampire Bat had already flown away before she could even look at it, thanks to Jiang He's awareness.
"It's nothing, just a strange bat." Jiang He didn't mention the problem for the time being.
Anyway, whatever happens, it's never too late to deal with it after it actually occurs.
Now, of course, we'll continue feeding Alexis (play.660)...
midnight.
A thick fog rolled in over the large lake within the Duel Academy.
Completely unnoticed, an ancient, dark castle had appeared on the fog-shrouded lake, standing eerily on its surface! "Squeak!!"
With a flapping sound of wings and a strange cry from a bat.
A strange-looking bat with scarlet eyes quickly flew into the misty castle through a bay window.
At that moment, a stunningly beautiful woman with dark green hair was soaking in a pure white, aristocratic bathtub.
There were many bubbles and some rose petals on it, completely obscuring her figure, revealing only her arms and half of her bent leg. "Squeak!!"
Soon, the little vampire bat that had flown inside obediently landed on the back of her raised hand.
"What an obedient child. Now tell me all the information you've seen," the alluring woman with dark green hair praised, a smile playing on her lips.
"Thump!!"
A crimson light suddenly shone from the vampire bat's rhomboid eyes, conveying all the information gathered during the day to her.
Soon, the alluring woman with dark green hair seemed to have seen something; several figures and their corresponding card deck information flashed through her eyes.
Among them are scenes of Jaden Yuki and Chazz Princeton adjusting their decks in the Slifer Red dormitory, declaring that they will take care of the next Shadow Riders Dark Duelists comes next.
Also in their respective dormitories, Bastion Misawa and Kaiser Zane Truesdale were adjusting their card decks.
"In this way, I have complete control over all deck preparations and information about my opponent."
In the end, in her eyes, she saw Alexis feeding Jiang He in the infirmary and discovered the vampire bat.
"Oh? So this is the guy who took care of Darkness?" The alluring woman with dark green hair gleamed with interest as she muttered to herself.
"To think I have four awakened Pokémon from Duel Monsters by my side. That's certainly something. But I won't be like Darkness and recklessly lose here."
"They didn't even use the true power of Shadow Duel..."
As she spoke, she looked out the window at the distant mist, towards the lake.
In a little while, the holder of the Shadow Riders (BAFC) Gate Key should receive her challenge message and appear to accept the challenge!
"Oh no, Alexis!"
Almost simultaneously, the door to the infirmary was also quickly opened.
Alexis Rhodes's two best friends, Jasmine and Mindy, followed Teacher Kawa in.
Both of them had a slightly flustered look on their faces.
"What happened, Jasmine, Mindy?"
Seeing Jasmine and Mindy looking somewhat nervous, Alexis Rhodes, who had been sitting on a chair by Jiang He's bedside, chatting happily with someone, looked over in confusion and asked the two of them.
Jiang He, who was resting his head on the pillow shaped like a patient's illness, already had some vague guesses.
Soon, Jasmine and Mindy's next words confirmed his guess.
"Alexis, it seems there's another new Shadow Riders Dark Duelists," Jasmine said first.
"Throughout the day, rumors have been circulating at the Duel Academy that someone saw a very beautiful woman standing in the lake on the island, with two sharp fangs at the corners of her mouth—she's a female vampire."
Mindy nodded in agreement and added further explanation.
"Just now, Professor Crowler, along with Kaiser and Jaden Yuki, went to the other side of the lake to prepare for their duel."
"A new Shadow Riders Dark Duelists?! A beautiful female vampire?" Alexis Rhodes exclaimed in surprise.
"How could this be! So soon, another dangerous Shadow Duel is about to take place!"
Having almost never been involved in Shadow Duel before, the recent series of events has indeed shaken her understanding of dueling!
Although Jiang He didn't seem to be injured for some unknown reason, her brother was definitely quite badly hurt.
I can't believe I just dealt with a Darkness last night, that evil soul hidden in the dark mask.
Now, a new Shadow Riders Dark Duelists enemy has appeared on this island, issuing a challenge...!
Upon hearing this, Jiang He revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."
It seems that the strange Duel Monsters Spirit vampire bat, that Alexis fed him earlier that afternoon was the one he saw through the window.
They were undoubtedly "spies" sent by the other side. (This chapter contains images; click the "Illustrations" button in the lower right corner of the screen to view them.)
