Chapter 192: Are female duelists this bold nowadays?

Whether it was a Duel Spirit or a so-called system, if it were before, she, Kong Kong Quewu, would have been unable to believe it, but now it had appeared right before her eyes.

"I am Kong Kong Quewu. Are you the mastermind behind the Ghouls organization that Honda and the others spoke of?"

Looking at the Ghouls lackey controlled by Ma Like, Kong Kong Quewu quickly steadied herself, raised the Duel Disk in her hand, and stared at the opponent, ready for battle.

Seeing that Kong Kong Quewu was not afraid of him and even dared to take the initiative to engage, Ma Like was stunned for a moment before a look of great interest appeared on his face.

"Interesting. As expected of the woman who once nearly defeated the Nameless Pharaoh. To have such courage in the face of a wielder of the Millennium Items."

"But it is a pity that my enemy is the Nameless Pharaoh. A character like you is not even worthy of crossing hands with me."

"You must be here to save your companions, right? In that case, then defeat the best opponent I have prepared for you."

As Ma Like spoke, he stepped aside with his puppet body, and behind him stood Cheng City Zhinei, whose eyes were vacant and whose spirit had clearly been lost to the Millennium Rod.

"Brother, it's me, Shizuka!"

"Cheng City Zhinei, pull yourself together, you guy."

Looking at Cheng City Zhinei, who was dull-eyed and seemed as if his body had been hollowed out, Shizuka and Honda called out in succession.

However, it was a pity that the power of the Millennium Items was not something an ordinary person could break free from. Although it was not total domination, Cheng City Zhinei had already been given suggestions by Ma Like and had become a puppet following his instructions.

"Don't waste your breath. No matter how loudly you shout, Cheng City Zhinei cannot hear your voices now."

"And you, Kong Kong Quewu, if you lose this duel, you will end up just like Cheng City Zhinei, becoming a tool for me to manipulate!"

Although the duel had not yet begun, Ma Like already felt he had won, and in his mind, he had already seen the Nameless Pharaoh suffer a crushing defeat while facing Cheng City Zhinei and Kong Kong Quewu in a two-on-one battle.

Because it was a "Death Duel" that wagered lives, Ma Like was also worried that Kong Kong Quewu would not accept the fight.

So, with a snap of his fingers, the container hanging in the air was instantly opened, and inside was Zhen Qi Xingzi, who was tied up like a zongzi.

"Regarding this duel, you have no right to refuse. If you do not agree to duel Cheng City Zhinei, then..."

"I accept this duel!"

Before Ma Like could finish his lines, Kong Kong Quewu had already unfolded her Duel Disk, stepped across to face Cheng City Zhinei, and even took the initiative to fasten the shackles connecting her ankle to the ground.

Her actions left Ma Like, who had intended to use Zhen Qi Xingzi as a hostage for threats and explain the rules of the Death Game, completely dumbfounded.

This script was wrong! Wasn't Cheng City Zhinei a friend of Kong Kong Quewu? This was a two-choice Death Duel!

According to the usual tropes, shouldn't the opponent refuse to the death, only accepting painfully after he used the hostage as a threat?

"Kong Kong Quewu, you probably haven't figured out the rules of the Death Game I mentioned..."

"The loser dies, right? A Dark Game that wagers one's life?"

"I've already experienced the Ghouls' tricks before, so I said I know. Let's not waste time; let's start the duel quickly."

Kong Kong Quewu's words truly left Ma Like speechless. He even felt that being a villain was truly difficult.

Clearly, he was the one in control, so why was he being led by the nose by the other party the whole time?

Moreover, was this female duelist named Kong Kong Quewu really this bold! Was she certain she could win? No, even if she won, wouldn't the dead Cheng City Zhinei be her friend?

Why did Ma Like feel now that she was even more impatient to duel than he was...

In fact, Ma Like's feeling was correct, because Kong Kong Quewu was indeed impatient to duel Cheng City Zhinei.

Because Wen Shengzai had already told her that Wu Teng Youxi was rushing here quickly.

Once Wu Teng Youxi arrived on the scene, her chance to appear might be stripped away.

And if Cheng City Zhinei were defeated by Wu Teng Youxi, it would mean her mission had failed, and her connection to her golden finger would be severed.

As for whether Cheng City Zhinei would be in danger if she won the duel, Wen Shengzai had already guaranteed her that he would be fine, which was why Kong Kong Quewu was so impatient!

"Since you are seeking death, I will grant your wish!"

Although he could not see through Kong Kong Quewu's thoughts, since she, as a female duelist, had shown such boldness, if he, Ma Like, refused now, wouldn't he be outdone by her?

"Duel! X2"

Just as the duel began, Kong Kong Quewu originally had a chance to seize the first move, but she was suddenly stopped by the appearance of Wen Shengzai.

"The first move is mine. My turn, draw card!"

"I summon Dragon God Warrior from my hand in attack position!"

【Dragon God Warrior, Level 4 Normal Monster

ATK: 1500 DEF: 1200】

The game rules of Duel City had been perfected quite a bit compared to Duelist Kingdom, but there were still quite a few loopholes.

For example, the first move in a duel should have been decided by a coin toss, but now it had become whoever moved faster could seize the first move.

Watching Cheng City Zhinei summon a monster first, Kong Kong Quewu turned her head in confusion to look at Wen Shengzai, who was holding her arm, not understanding why he had stopped her just now; otherwise, she would have been the one to seize the first move.

"Why fight for the first move? Don't you know the rule that whoever goes first loses half the battle?"

Hearing Wen Shengzai's baseless dueling law, Kong Kong Quewu did not believe it at all. Didn't real dueling depend on strength? Was believing in such metaphysics useful?

However, since the first move had already been taken by the opponent, Kong Kong Quewu naturally had to wait for the opponent's operation to end.

"Wu, perhaps I won against you by luck before, but I am different now. I am stronger than anyone else."

"In this duel, I will prove it! Besides summoning a monster, I will also set one card. Turn end!"

Looking at Cheng City Zhinei, who had self-awareness but was clearly not his original personality, Kong Kong Quewu stopped speaking and slowly reached toward her deck.

"My turn, draw card!"

"I summon Harpie Lady - Electronic Tight Costume from my hand in attack position."

(Level 4 monster, ATK: 1800 DEF: 1300, this card is treated as Harpie Lady while on the field and in the Graveyard.)

"In addition, I activate the Equip Spell Rose Whip from my hand, increasing Harpie Lady - Electronic Tight Costume's ATK by another 300 points."
