Yu-Gi-Oh!, the Roar of the Weak

Chapter 287 Plan C

"what?"

Before Di Xing could finish speaking, the bullet train began to wail, and then the card's anchor crumbled like paper, turning the bullet train back into that dilapidated scrap metal train.

"W-What happened?"

"We've entered the Forbidden Spirit Realm."

"Forbidden Spirit Domain?"

"Isn't that a forbidden formation used only by the assassin organization 'Frost'? Could it be that the Gako family hired them?" Vitty asked with a grave expression.

Di Xing was completely confused and hurriedly asked, "What is that 'frost'?"

"It's a clandestine organization operating on Endera. Just like their name suggests, they possess various abilities to limit the power of their opponents' spirits, allowing them to easily eliminate defenseless targets."

"That terrifying?"

"But I heard their prices are ridiculously high! Does that Six-Pointed Star family from your area really want us dead?" Xiao You asked, her face filled with despair.

"Let's get out of the car and check the situation first. Staying inside makes us vulnerable to being wiped out all at once. Everyone, line up in formation to guard against a surprise attack."

Di Xing and his group carefully disembarked from the scrap metal train.

The sky outside was already pitch black, and an annoying fog permeated the area around the freight train. To make matters worse, the train was now stuck in a muddy swamp.

Although it wasn't a terrifying swamp where people wouldn't sink, movement was significantly hampered.

"Was this place specifically chosen to set up the spirit-restricting domain? That's really professional," Nami said with a serious expression.

At that moment, a dark shadow streaked through the mist at incredible speed, yet remained remarkably silent; no one noticed it.

However, as the shadowy figure approached the train, a red beam suddenly shot out from the scrap metal train.

The shadowy figure was startled and twisted its body in mid-air to its limit to dodge the red ray, then quickly jumped away.

"Wow! The automatic detection forced duel ray has been activated. It seems someone tried to attack us in the fog just now."

"Di Xing, you've chosen a terrible name!" Xiao You bluntly criticized.

"I want you to take care"

After being tricked by Johnny Depp last time, Dixon became more cautious and specifically asked Vitty to create a forced duel device. However, since it wasn't for police use, it couldn't force a first strike. Then, using Kit's technology, he installed it on a scrap metal vehicle. Once activated, it would automatically start whenever someone approached.

A laugh echoed from within the mist. "No wonder that fat pig Allen asked us to attack you. You're quite clever, aren't you? But what will you do if I drop the Duel Disk?"

"Hmph, anyway, we ruined your first surprise attack."

"Di Xing!"

Ai Xiao's voice blared from the loudspeaker on the train. She had just been left on the scrap metal train to research information and to act as a duelist for the forced duel system.

"I hacked into the dark web trading system, and there was indeed a deal between someone codenamed Lemos and the Frost Organization, but the deal was to delay us for five days."

"Ai Xiao, stop talking now."

"Looks like you have a formidable hacker there," a silvery laugh echoed from the mist. "Is she your girlfriend? But don't worry, the truly important information is beyond your reach. The fact that she could find it only means this deal isn't something we care about."

"The head of the Jia family didn't hire you to kill me."

"That's right, but don't mistake it for kindness. That fat pig's heart is as filthy as excrement. He only charges much more for assassination missions, while delaying missions that only require sending apprentices are much cheaper."

"If that's the case, why did you try to attack us just now?"

"Just out of curiosity. It's been a long time since I've had a mission like this. To deal with a bunch of brats who've just come of age, they actually hired us 'Frost'? I was very curious about your abilities, and now that I see them, they're indeed impressive. Alright, from now on, you can play with my apprentices. Also, this yellow biscuit is quite delicious."

As those words dissipated into the air, the dark figure also vanished completely into the mist.

Di Xing was shocked and reached for his waist, where the last piece of sesame seed cake he had saved was gone.

The fact that the man could so easily take his sesame seed cake meant that he could have easily killed him. Di Xing broke out in a cold sweat.

"Toot!" The scrap metal train surprisingly sounded its horn again.

"nailed it"

Kit opened the train window, stuck her head out, stuck out her cat tongue, and took a deep breath of fresh air.

"This should be enough to get it running, huh? So that's why you asked me to prepare diesel fuel, huh?"

"Hehe, better safe than sorry, after all, I often encountered accidents in my original world."

"Don't be too happy yet. Although it can start moving, the speed is too slow. At this rate, it will probably take five days to leave this place."

Hearing this, Di Xing sensed something was wrong. "'Shuang's' mission was also to delay us by five days. A week has passed since the fire, and I'm afraid they've taken some measures to bring the food shortage forward. The worst-case scenario is that the food shortage has already broken out."

"What should I do?"

Di Xing pondered for a moment, "Na Mi, is it true that even communication using spirit power is impossible in the Forbidden Spirit Domain?"

That's right.

"Then we have no choice but to activate Plan C."

"Huh? You have a Plan C?" Dai Meng's adorable big eyes widened like saucers.

The others looked away awkwardly. Actually, Plan C didn't need to be kept a secret from Dai Meng, but that would mean telling him about Plan B, which was why no one had told her.

"Okay, Xiaomeng, I'll treat you to something delicious when we get back. Don't be angry this time. Vivi, did you put the things I asked you to give me in there?"

Vitty nodded and pressed a switch on the side of the locomotive.

A hatch behind the locomotive opened, revealing the motorcycle Su Wandi had custom-made for Di Xing—the Star Shuttle.

“Me, Nami, and Ruan Nuo, the three of us will set off first. You all just stay here and do your best to move forward. Remember, safety comes first. The residents of the fourth floor are very important, so we will do our best to save them. But for me, you are more important. If you encounter danger, prioritize your own life. If all else fails, you can abandon the food. I will figure out what to do next. Vitty, I'm leaving this place in your care!”

Di Xing entrusted the task to Vidy, his most trusted advisor, who silently nodded.

Then Di Xing climbed onto the motorcycle, with Na Mi sitting on the back and Ruan Nu sandwiched between them. Di Xing then twisted the throttle, and the Star Shuttle sped away like a shooting star.

This swamp was indeed very large. Even with the Star Shuttle's advanced technology allowing it to ignore the muddy ground, it still took it almost half a day to get out.

It was just dawn, and soon they saw a flashing light in the darkness—it was the Iceflame Express. Immortal Dao Divine Chronicle was leaning halfway out of the window, happily waving to Di Xing.

The Icefire Rush Traveler was trailing a long line of old, secondhand cars behind it, making it look like a train.
