Chapter 1297: The Stolen Puzzle

Fujiki You Xuan stood on the top of the Industrial Illusions building, looking around.

Since Yugi came here at the invitation of Industrial Illusions, Fujiki You Xuan guessed that he should be nearby.

At this time, he had activated the scanner mounted on his D-Wheel and set the scanning program to the highest priority for "Spirit Affinity."

Fujiki You Xuan's D-Wheel was produced by Taiyi and had a level of technology far exceeding this era, and even the dimension Fujiki You Xuan came from. It was completely fine to scan and lock onto someone with high Spirit Affinity talent within the scope of a city.

Yugi Wu Teng was undoubtedly a duelist with high Spirit Affinity, and coupled with the fact that he held the Millennium Puzzle, locating him shouldn't be too difficult.

"Ho, looks like I found him."

Fujiki You Xuan rode the D-Wheel, flying in the air and looking down. With the blessing of spirits, his eyesight was excellent, and he could see the situation on the ground from this height without technological assistance.

Fujiki You Xuan looked down and sure enough, he seemed to see the legendary first-generation Duel King, Yugi Wu Teng...

Seems like he's chasing a girl?

Yugi was indeed chasing a girl at this moment. And it was that blonde loli, Rebecca Hopkins, who had been sticking to him like glue since they first met.

"Wait, wait a minute, Rebecca..."

Yugi, who was originally a standard gaming nerd, had poor physical strength since childhood. After running behind Rebecca for a while, he was already out of breath.

Yugi was sweating profusely: "Wait..."

How did things end up like this...

This has to start from half an hour ago.

It seemed that after hearing that Yugi had come to the US, Rebecca's grandfather, Professor Hopkins, brought his granddaughter to visit. Professor Hopkins and Yugi's grandfather, Solomon Muto, were once very good friends, because it was said that Solomon was also an adventurer when he was young and often frequented various ancient ruins, so he met Professor Arthur Hopkins, who was an archaeologist.

It was quite normal when they first met. Rebecca, according to her usual practice, bumped into Yugi as soon as she saw him... Oh right, the little girl wasn't old enough to dribble, so it was a flat-chested bump.

But although the touch was hard and there was nothing there, the fragrance was still so strong that it made the pure-hearted young boy Yugi blush. Especially when the little loli called him "Darling" one after another, it made Yugi's heart beat faster. He tried his best to pull his arm out from being hugged to the other party's chest, but the more he pulled, the more he felt like he was being clamped tighter by the other party...

Up to this point, it was actually quite normal, basically the normal rhythm of Yugi meeting Rebecca every time. It was precisely because of this that Yugi had always been a little afraid of meeting Rebecca, because he felt that this enthusiastic loli was too enthusiastic for him to handle.

Then things started to develop in a strange direction.

"Darling~ This hard thing of yours is so in the way."

Yugi: "Eh, wait Rebecca! You can't do that..."

So Rebecca leaned her whole body into Yugi's arms and took the Millennium Puzzle hanging around his neck without saying a word.

Then the smile on the loli's face disappeared instantly, her face changed at the speed of light, and she turned and ran away after taking the Millennium Puzzle.

Yugi was stunned for two seconds, then realized something was wrong, and hurriedly chased after her: "Wait! Rebecca! Stop messing around, that's a very important thing..."

"..."

And then things became what they are now.

Fujiki You Xuan watched for a while in the air, then adjusted the D-Wheel's scanner to lock onto Rebecca.

Sure enough, the scanner showed slightly strange energy fluctuation readings.

"Rebecca Hopkins, has she been interfered with by some special energy?" Fujiki You Xuan pondered. "A Shadow Duel?"

No, it feels a bit different. Relying on the vast experience accumulated from years of gambling on life-and-death card games, Fujiki You Xuan could vaguely perceive that the interference with Rebecca seemed to be technological power rather than supernatural.

Similar to the ZONE camp, it simulated the effect of a Shadow Duel using some kind of technology.

And Fujiki You Xuan had just encountered a technological camp like this recently.

"The 'Academy'?" Fujiki You Xuan probably guessed it.

A duelist from the Academy manipulated Rebecca, and judging from the current situation, it seemed to be a plan to use Rebecca to steal Yugi's Millennium Puzzle.

But what does the Academy want the Millennium Puzzle for?

Fujiki You Xuan was suspicious, thought for a while, and lowered his altitude slightly to continue following.

Rebecca ran into a rusty old house, which was an abandoned dueling arena. It was an old-fashioned dueling arena built by KaibaCorp and Industrial Illusions, where duelists from both sides stood on elevator-type dueling consoles.

Later, because of the release of KaibaCorp's portable Duel Disk, this kind of elevator-type old-fashioned dueling console was gradually phased out worldwide. Most of the old venues had been demolished, and the few remaining ones had been abandoned, no longer operated, maintained, or open to the public.

Yugi chased after Rebecca, panting as he ran into the empty venue. He saw Rebecca run straight to the back door after entering and flash out from the back door exit.

Yugi tried his best to catch up, but saw a man standing tall and straight, wearing strange clothes and a cloak, blocking the only exit with his body and arms crossed.

Yugi had to stop, panting: "You... who are you?"

"Yo, finally met, Yugi Wu Teng."

The man looked down at him and sneered coldly.

Yugi said vigilantly: "Who are you? Did you use Rebecca? Is the target the Millennium Puzzle? Why?"

"Oh? Although you are a primitive, you are worthy of being the Duel King, your understanding of the situation is quite fast." The man laughed. "Not bad. My name is Victor, and I have been ordered to take away your Millennium Puzzle, Yugi Wu Teng."

He shook his head, then showed his Duel Disk, and said: "I heard that the King doesn't seem to refuse challenges from others easily. How about it, do you have the courage to accept my challenge? Or..."

He paused and sneered.

"... the fake Duel King who has lost the soul in the Millennium Puzzle and is left with only an empty shell, doesn't even have the courage to accept a challenge?"

In fact, if possible, Victor would prefer to challenge Yugi with the Puzzle. Because only then could he truly get the pleasure of "defeating the first-generation Duel King."

After all, even that Pharaoh only used an ancient deck that was mostly Normal Monsters, and he didn't think he would lose.

Well, but the order said to be foolproof, so he chose not to take risks casually, in case something went wrong and he had to take responsibility. So Victor still followed the plan, controlled someone Yugi was familiar with to steal the Millennium Puzzle, and then solved the remaining container himself, undoubtedly defeating the opponent.

In this way, Lord Zorc should also be satisfied.

Yugi gritted his teeth and clenched his fists lightly.

"If I can't move forward without defeating you... then fine." Yugi raised his head, his usually gentle eyes becoming firm. "I accept this challenge!" ===== CHAPTER 1298 =====
