Chapter 213: The prisoner is a bit active today

Emerging from the space gate opened by Black Luster Soldier, there was another dizzying, cloud-riding sense of unreality. When the confused senses recovered, Fujiki You Xuan found that the scene around him had changed again.

The environment seemed to have turned into night. A scarlet crescent moon hung above the pitch-black sky, and moonlight fell on the dilapidated roofs under the night, and the mottled stone roads reflected dark red luster.

On both sides of the street were ancient buildings with medieval styles, doors and windows were closed, and there was no breath of living people. Occasionally a breeze blew, causing the curtains by the window to sway gently, making a rustling sound, like strange whispers.

"Is this in the Spirit World?"

Fujiki You Xuan frowned and looked down at his body.

It's an indescribable feeling, but there is a slight sense of incongruity.

"Is there something different about this Spirit World compared to the previous one?" He tilted his head and asked.

Envoy of the Beginning appeared beside him, looking at him with a strange expression, and only spoke after a while: "No, it's not that the Spirit World is different. It is..."

He paused.

"... it is you who are different."

"Me?"

Fujiki You Xuan clenched his fist. The touch is real, what he sees, touches, and smells, everything seems so real, but the sense of incongruity in his heart just won't go away.

"Yes. If I have to say it... it's that you are not actually here, just a form of projection." Black Luster Soldier said. "It's somewhat similar to the state in which we spirits usually appear in your duelists' world."

He paused, his expression looking even stranger.

"... Is it because of that consciousness projection device... It's truly incredible. Even I have seen such a situation for the first time."

Fujiki You Xuan guessed it.

It's because of Kaiba Corp's black technology "Link System."

The Link System was originally developed based on the black technology duel disk of the President in "The Dark Side of Dimensions," a device that projects the user's thinking to a shared virtual platform.

As a result, Fujiki You Xuan combined it with Black Luster Soldier's rare space ability while in a logged-in state, actually projecting into the Spirit World like a bug...

And his current image is also the virtual image in the Link System, and his body is also a fake body shaped by the Link System based on his consciousness.

He doesn't know if Kaiba Corp has discovered that their black technology has this usage. But obviously, their technology is so powerful that it can operate normally even in another world, and he can log out from here at any time by cutting off the link and return to his body in the Yellow Dorm.

As Black Luster Soldier said, it's a bit like the state when spirits usually appear in the human world. It's just that spirits usually need to use their corresponding cards as a medium.

In this way, it is much more convenient and much lower risk for him to explore the map in the Spirit World than before, and he doesn't have to run to the Spirit World himself every time. And he can go offline at any time, go back to the academy for classes during the day, and then go online at night to continue the progress of yesterday...

The town he is in now looks abandoned. Fujiki You Xuan walked along the street, and the places he passed were currently empty.

About ten minutes later, when he turned into a street, there were finally figures at the end of the front. A team of monsters in armor, although he didn't recognize any of them, the art style looked like they were Fiend-type at a glance.

The fiends also found him and immediately started shouting.

"Over here! There's still a live one!"

"Stop!"

"Don't run!"

A group of fiends immediately picked up knives and guns and rushed toward him shouting.

But they slowed down halfway, looking at each other with a bit of confusion.

Because they found that this person was standing calmly in place, not intending to run at all.

The fiends approached, surrounded Fujiki You Xuan, and looked at each other.

This person not running seemed to make them a bit confused for a while.

"Hmm, should I have run just now?" Fujiki You Xuan pondered.

It made everyone feel awkward.

A fiend viciously revealed a white knife: "Walk."

Fujiki You Xuan shrugged.

Walk then.

His current state is similar to spirits in reality, and he will almost not be injured except for dark games that directly damage consciousness. So there is almost no psychological pressure to have a knife on his face.

Following this team of fiends forward, Fujiki You Xuan took the opportunity to ask about the map background: "May I ask, where are we going?"

The fiends were confused, seemingly puzzled that this person could remain calm in such a dangerous situation.

But a kind-hearted fiend still answered: "Naturally, to the bunker."

"Bunker, I see." Fujiki You Xuan nodded. "Can you remind me what kind of place the bunker is?"

A fiend looked at him in surprise, seeming to think this question was unreasonable.

"I'm a stranger, just passing by." Fujiki You Xuan explained.

The fiend looked him over, and seeing his unique dress, he felt that he really didn't look like someone from nearby, so he laughed.

"Heh, a stranger, huh?" The fiend sneered. "Then since you're here, don't think about leaving."

"The bunker is a stronghold protected by the True God, a concentration camp for rebels, and a hell for anyone who dares to defy God's will." A fiend said loudly.

True God...

Fujiki You Xuan thought, I'll guess, is your god coincidentally a slippery snake?

Good guy, it seems that the slippery snake of Orichalcos has really laid out a long way, as if it is everywhere in various spirit dimensions.

It seems that this team of fiends may also be spirits that have been recruited by Orichalcos. This empty town might have originally been a place where spirits lived, but it was evacuated during the invasion of dark forces.

The bunker in the fiends' mouths is one of Orichalcos' strongholds here. According to the fiends' description, it should also be a place similar to a prison.

The spirits that originally lived in this town nearby might have been imprisoned there, which is a place similar to a prisoner-of-war concentration camp.

Fujiki You Xuan had also been to Orichalcos' stronghold in the Spirit World last time, and the impression was quite good.

The enthusiastic stronghold leader, Bone King, treated Fujiki You Xuan with his whole family, and after a pleasant duel, entrusted his wife and children to his care.

Another stronghold leader, Insect Knight, clearly Fujiki You Xuan didn't visit, but he didn't spare any effort to bring all his family belongings to treat him enthusiastically from thousands of miles away.

That card game was also very pleasant, and the harvest was quite rich.

So Fujiki You Xuan currently has a good impression of these branches established by the generous slippery snake in the Spirit World. Therefore, as soon as he heard this, he immediately looked forward to the bunker in the fiends' mouths.

In the Spirit World, there is a chance to get new card series in new fields that no one has even touched in the outside world.

"How much further?"

"How much longer to walk?"

"Why haven't we arrived yet?"

"..."

Fujiki You Xuan asked a question every few steps, making this team of escorting fiends a bit confused.

No, why does this prisoner seem more active than us today?
