Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
Walking through the mountain forest, Jaden Yuki's communicator at his waist emitted a sharp alert.
Jaden picked it up and glanced at it, a hint of surprise appearing on his face.
"What's wrong, Jaden?" Yubel slowly emerged from beside him, her gaze sweeping over the communicator in Jaden's hand.
"Ah, it's Chazz. He wants to duel me tonight."
Jaden turned off the communicator and looked towards the dilapidated abandoned dorm in the distance.
"But before that, there's something more important to do."
In the darkness.
Jaden's pupils gleamed with a faint golden light.
At this moment, the world in Jaden's eyes immediately underwent a series of changes.
The originally dilapidated abandoned dorm was now shrouded in a thick black mist in Jaden's eyes.
The gloomy, dark aura was completely different from the tranquility of daytime.
Jaden stepped over the iron chains that surrounded the entrance, blocking outsiders, and entered the interior of the old dorm.
Pushing open the long-sealed door.
The ruined interior of the dorm was revealed before Jaden.
Dust covered the floor, and discarded tables, chairs, and furniture were overturned everywhere.
On the wall hung stone tablets depicting the seven Millennium Items. Although covered in dust, the styles of each Millennium Item were not difficult to distinguish.
"How rare, are people still researching such ancient artifacts in this academy?"
Yubel looked at the stone tablets introducing the Millennium Items on the wall, unable to help but complain.
"It seems the rumors of Shadow Games taking place in this dorm aren't false after all."
Jaden said with a smile, gently blowing away the dust on the stone tablets, and began to study their contents.
"Hey, Jaden."
Yubel suddenly discovered something and floated to the side.
"Hm?"
Jaden hurried over and saw Yubel standing in front of a wall, looking at a photo pasted on it.
In the photo, a man in an Obelisk Blue uniform stood with his arms crossed, a smile on his face.
"We've seen the person in this photo before, haven't we?" Yubel looked at the young man in the photo and couldn't help but ask.
"Hmm..."
Looking at the string of characters, "FuBuKi--10Join," written with a marker pen in the photo, Jaden couldn't help but shake his head.
"Only Atticus Rhodes could come up with such a showy signature."
Replacing the "Ten" in "Tenjouin" with the number 10.
As Alexis Rhodes' brother, Atticus's personality was completely opposite to hers.
He truly wondered why the personalities of the two siblings could be so vastly different.
"Let's go. There's nothing more to investigate in this room. Let's go downstairs and check."
Jaden remembered there seemed to be an empty secret room downstairs in this dorm.
Although he wasn't sure if he'd find anything there.
"Kurikuri!"
Just as he was about to head downstairs,
Winged Kuriboh's voice suddenly rang in Jaden's ear.
"What's wrong, Winged Kuriboh?" Jaden turned to look and saw Winged Kuriboh seemingly having spotted something, constantly waving its claws.
"Kurikuri!"
Winged Kuriboh pointed towards the corridor ahead.
"Are you saying there's something over there?"
Jaden's dark golden eyes flashed, and he immediately put on his Duel Disk.
As his voice fell, a roaring sound instantly rose like a tide.
A group of round, dark tokens rushed towards Jaden in droves.
The aura of darkness instantly enveloped the surroundings.
At this moment, even Yubel and Winged Kuriboh materialized.
"A Darkness Field?" Jaden frowned, immediately drew a card from his Deck. "Come forth! Elemental HERO Sunrise!"
Light appeared before Jaden.
A hero in a blue cape and red armor appeared beside Jaden.
Looking at the dark tokens surging towards them like a tide, Elemental HERO Sunrise let out a low roar, and his entire body erupted with a sun-like radiance.
Every dark token that came into contact with this intense light immediately dissipated like dust.
In an instant, countless tokens vanished completely.
The remaining ones scattered and hid, seemingly fearing Jaden's power.
"They just seem like weak little things."
Yubel snorted disdainfully, "These dark tokens are even less aggressive than some one-star fluffy little fellows."
"Kurikuri!" Winged Kuriboh glared angrily at Yubel.
"You two..."
Jaden helplessly rubbed his forehead.
However, even though these dark tokens were weak, their existence at least proved that Shadow Games had indeed taken place here.
Moreover, the power of the two parties involved in the Shadow Game at that time must not have been weak.
After all, even the residual power after the Shadow Game ended could give birth to such a large number of dark tokens.
This was enough to show how terrifying the Shadow Game at that time was.
"Darkness, huh?"
"I thought the weakest boss in the original story would be a bit weaker than I imagined."
"But I didn't expect it to cause such terrifying darkness."
"A future where humanity is destroyed... It seems this is indeed an enemy not to be underestimated."
Jaden frowned and murmured in a low voice.
"Let's go back for now. It looks like we won't find any clues today."
Dispelling the surrounding darkness, Jaden was about to leave.
Outside the dorm corridor, a dazzling flashlight beam shone into the abandoned dorm.
"Who's there?" A pleasant voice rang out from outside the dorm.
Jaden and Yubel exchanged glances, revealing expressions of helplessness.
"Why is she here again?"
"Jaden Yuki?" Peering through the window, the blonde girl outside, who was looking into the room, showed a surprised expression.
This person was none other than Alexis Rhodes.
"It seems the welcome party is over."
Jaden walked out of the abandoned dorm, his gaze subtly falling on a bouquet of flowers in Alexis's hand.
Because of Atticus Rhodes' disappearance,
Alexis Rhodes would come to this abandoned dorm almost every night to place flowers.
It was to pray for the safety of her missing brother.
Although her brother was probably living quite freely with the Seven Stars right now.
"Didn't you attend the welcome party? And why are you here in such a dangerous place again, despite being warned?" Alexis asked, somewhat annoyed.
She had clearly told Jaden before that this place was dangerous and he should avoid it.
Why wouldn't he listen at all?
And looking at him, he was even wearing a Duel Disk.
"You're not here because you heard about the rumored Shadow Games and wanted to find a Shadow Duelist to play against, are you?" Alexis looked at Jaden with a strange expression.
Someone's card addiction could be immense,
But it couldn't be this immense, could it?
Although it was just a rumor, it was said that if you lost a Shadow Game, your soul would be devoured.
Jaden was stunned for a moment.
He hadn't expected Alexis's thought process to be so eccentric.
Jaden seemed to understand a little why she and Atticus Rhodes were siblings.
Scratching his cheek, he didn't answer Alexis's question and turned to leave.
"Hey! Jaden Yuki!"
Watching Jaden walk away without looking back,
Alexis helplessly rubbed her forehead.
This guy...
His personality was simply too infuriating, wasn't it?
