Chapter 935: Persona Collapsed

~6 min read 1,197 words

"Killing intent..."

Jack and Crow were both stunned.

Killing intent is a very abstract thing, invisible and intangible, and can only be felt completely by intuition. If you want to say it, only the duelists on the field can possibly feel it.

Although they were also in the game, they had been fully devoted to the duel until just now and hadn't thought much about extra things. Only after Yusei's reminder did they start to recall, and they suddenly realized that Goodwin didn't seem to have shown very strong killing intent in this duel until just now.

That was definitely not the feeling given by a guy who wanted to fight to the death through a dark duel.

Of course, this was just intuition, not solid evidence. It was difficult to make any definitive judgment based on such a feeling. Yusei only raised doubts, and more judgments needed to be built on his own trust in "Goodwin."

Leo and Luna outside the field were young and wouldn't think too much. But Akiza Izinski was also stunned when she heard Yusei's words.

In fact, she had always been suspicious of "Goodwin" suddenly making trouble, saying that he wanted to open the underworld gate, and just using them, the Signers. So when Yusei pointed it out, she wasn't too surprised, but felt that Yusei would think so too.

But what surprised her was that Yusei actually said this person was not Goodwin.

Why? Then who else could he be?

"Goodwin... no, you should have been in contact with us as Goodwin, right? It's been like this from the beginning, right?"

Yusei said.

You Xuan smiled: "Oh? Your basis?"

"There is no solid basis," Yusei shook his head. "But you carry many mysteries, and we don't know much about you. So I asked some friends with channels to inquire about you... or to be precise, about 'Goodwin'."

Yusei took a deep breath and said.

"That arm with the Dragon Head Mark you just took out is actually the arm of the Dark Signer Lei Kesi Goodwin's brother, Roman, that we defeated, right? He was the original Signer, and later he entrusted his brother—the Goodwin you replaced—to gather the Signers, let us Signers fight the Dark Signers, and fight against the opening of the underworld gate."

You Xuan: "Ho? You found out so much? So what does this have to do with me?"

"Because of your duel with Roman before," Yusei said. "At that time, I didn't know the relationship between Lei Kesi Goodwin and the Dark Signer leader Roman, and I didn't know that they were brothers, and I didn't know that Roman had entrusted his brother to gather the Signers to fight.

But now that I know these inside stories, and recall the duel that day, it feels a bit strange.

A duel is a process of opening one's heart to each other, and no matter what kind of person, they will show their intentions to each other through the duel. But until the end of the duel that day, I didn't see Roman show any intentions to you, who was his brother and entrusted with heavy responsibilities.

Or even worse, it was like treating a stranger... or even an enemy."

You Xuan: "..."

"Not only that. Although I didn't know the real Goodwin in the past, I later asked friends from the Security Bureau and Jack, and they all recalled that around the time I met you, 'Director Goodwin's' style of conduct and some details and habits had changed.

It's just that 'Director Goodwin' has always been mysterious, so others didn't think much about it. But if you combine all these doubts... you are not Goodwin, right?"

Everyone: "!!!"

Everyone looked at "Goodwin" on the altar in shock, their eyes full of suspicion.

"But no matter what kind of person you are, I am still willing to believe that you are our companion!"

Yusei hammered his heart with his fist and said sonorously.

"From the beginning when we met, you guided all of us, let all of us gather, swept away our confusion, and pointed out the path for us.

Even this duel has been like this until now.

You told us that everything was just a conspiracy you designed to use us, and you wanted to open the underworld gate to call the evil god to descend... But I don't believe it!

Because you have been constantly guiding us to progress and constantly giving us opportunities to transcend ourselves until just now, isn't that so?"

You Xuan: "..."

The whole field was silent for a while, and everyone's eyes were focused on "Director Goodwin," and no one spoke.

Akiza also held her breath, staring straight at "Goodwin."

According to Yusei, from the day she met him, from the day she first knew this person... he was never "Director Goodwin" at all?

Then who is he...

You Xuan looked at the sky leisurely.

Sorry Zone, it's really not that I don't want to help you continue acting.

It's just that my persona... collapsed.

They don't believe me, what can I do?

You Xuan closed his eyes and smiled lightly.

"Fudo Yusei, they all say you are the most meticulous Duel King in history, and it really lives up to its reputation... Forget it, if you see through it, you see through it. Yes, I am not Lei Kesi Goodwin."

If the persona collapses, it collapses; You Xuan didn't care. In fact, even You Xuan himself was surprised that his mask could be worn for so long.

This was also the first time he appeared in front of all the 5D's members with his true face.

"Eh eh eh eh!?" Leo was shocked, his young heart was impacted, "This person can change his face!"

Crow also frowned: "Looks about the same age as us..."

Because the Goodwin You Xuan impersonated was already an older person compared to them, everyone didn't expect that "Director Goodwin" actually looked like their peer.

And a little handsome...

Looking so sunny, it's impossible to be a bad guy at first glance.

"My name is Fujiki You Xuan," You Xuan admitted generously, "I come from another dimension and am the Duel King of another world."

Jack's eyelids jumped as soon as he heard the word "King," as if a keyword had been touched.

"King of another world?"

"Correct," You Xuan said frankly, "I have my purpose for coming here, but it is indeed as Yusei said, I have no malice towards you."

After a pause, he smiled instead.

"How about it, the crisis of world destruction is a lie, and this duel is not a life-and-death game. Having seen through this, do you not have the determination to fight to the end?"

Yusei also smiled and said: "No, it's already at this point, if we can't go all out and exhaust everything we have, how can we live up to the painstaking efforts of the Duel King senior for us?"

"Duel King senior sounds weird, and I'm not a senior," You Xuan laughed, "Just call me You Xuan.

Then come on, Fudo Yusei, let me see your possibilities!"
