My Stubborn Soul Card Follower

Shi Ruoyi stood at the entrance of the alley, completely blocking Shen Sui's path.

A peculiar aura emanated from her body, as if isolating the entire space.

The air around them rippled slightly.

Is this how she bypassed the surveillance?

Shen Sui wasn't surprised, because if it were him, avoiding the existing technology wouldn't be difficult. But he hadn't done anything wrong, so there was no need for such measures.

At the moment they both activated their Dueling Devices, a duel confirmation window popped up on the device.

Shen Sui clicked agree without hesitation.

A bright arena unfolded between them.

The Dueling Device automatically adjusted to the size of the actual alley, allowing the two of them to enjoy the duel to the fullest.

Of course, when facing Shi Ruoyi, whether others could still enjoy the duel was another matter altogether.

"Since you know my identity, it's truly a pity," Shi Ruoyi, having gained the first move, covered her crimson lips with her hand of cards, casting a seductive glance at Shen Sui, her voice full of allure, "Tonight, there's no way little brother you can enjoy me and live, you know."

With that, Shi Ruoyi drew a card from her hand: "My turn, paying 7 Soul Points, I normally summon [Sacrifice of Suffering] from my hand."

A person with their body pierced by black, filthy devices appeared on Shi Ruoyi's field.

He had no face; his facial flesh had been entirely torn away, and the bloody device hooked his bones, hanging like a slaughtered pig in a butcher's shop.

Dark red blood continuously seeped from the wounds, and the man emitted a faint, painful moan.

"World of Soul Card No. 8," Shen Sui muttered as he watched this scene.

The Tormented.

This is the most infamous type of Follower in the World of Soul Card No. 8.

Because this bizarre, evil world has been banned by most countries in the world, but similar cards still exist in large numbers in areas with weak or nonexistent governments.

"Look at his expression, how interesting," Shi Ruoyi giggled, "Soon, these devices will be used on you~"

"Hmm~!" Shi Ruoyi shivered with excitement, "Just thinking about it is thrilling!!"

"Activate the effect of [Sacrifice of Suffering], send it to the graveyard, and special summon three [Suffering] Followers from my deck," Shi Ruoyi activated the Follower's effect, "Followers summoned this way have a Spirit Value of 0 and lose all effects."

With that, she special summoned a 10-star Follower and two 9-star Followers from her deck.

"Little brother," Shi Ruoyi licked her lips, looking at Shen Sui, "I warned you ahead of time! I don't accept surrenders."

Her voice fell.

Surrender is a right granted to players in a Life Card Duel.

Even professional players can propose surrender during duels on the professional stage.

However, generally, due to professional ethics and fear of audience backlash, it's rare for anyone to propose surrender on the professional stage in recent years. Look at Xu Tianzhi, who proposed surrender during a duel exam and has been criticized ever since; and that duel exam wasn't even a professional match.

But in such private matches, surrender is a normal operation, as often, when the opponent's field is set up and there's no means to counter it, not surrendering is merely a waste of time.

Considering what Wang Ming said, all victims suffered brutal mental torture before dying, Shen Sui speculated that the opponent might have the ability to prevent victims from clicking the surrender button.

Is it a Dueling Device virus, or the influence of Extraordinary Power?

Shen Sui grew increasingly intrigued, the ability to prevent surrender would be extremely useful for him.

In a Duel with an unconventional deck, the biggest concern is the opponent not letting you enjoy.

While thinking, Shi Ruoyi had already raised her hand toward her field: "Paying 8 Soul Points, activate from my hand, Spell Card [Suffering of Bliss]."

"Once per turn, choose one [Suffering] Follower from my deck to add to my hand."

Shi Ruoyi spread out her deck.

"I choose to add [Messenger of Suffering·Abdu] to my hand."

Upon drawing this card, Shi Ruoyi revealed a victorious expression.

She looked at Shen Sui and said, "Look, this is my ace, little brother."

Shen Sui squinted his eyes slightly.

Because Shi Ruoyi's Messenger of Suffering card had a staggering 14-star level.

A fourteen-star Follower Card, it seemed to be the first time he encountered such in a duel.

"Activate the effect of [Messenger of Suffering·Abdu]."

Shi Ruoyi activated the effect of the card in her hand.

"Release the three [Suffering] Followers on the field. Special summon this Follower to the field!"

"Oh Messenger of Suffering~! Let the world hear the holy sound of the Bodhisattva!"

Shi Ruoyi shouted loudly.

Her voice was pious and excited, as if she wasn't summoning her Follower, but her master, to whom she could devote everything.

With Shi Ruoyi's summons, a pitch-black phantom appeared on the field.

In the next moment, Shen Sui saw a benevolent old man in red stepping out from the shadows, smiling.

Amiable and gentle, just like an elderly man chatting with you at the village entrance.

However, Shen Sui felt some kind of strange power emanating from him.

And at the moment this Messenger of Suffering appeared, the entire dueling arena seemed to be enveloped by some mysterious power.

Hmm?

Shen Sui narrowed his eyes slightly.

He sensed a force trying to invade his body.

His skill automatically triggered, capturing this force, and provided an analysis and feedback to Shen Sui.

The official hack work is great!

Shen Sui couldn't help but give a thumbs-up to the production team of "Dawn Link," if not for this automatic skill release hack, he might have just been hit.

Although under a heap of BUFFs, even if he got hit, it wouldn't cause any big issues.

This is a Spiritual System power, after hitting the opponent, it can hypnotize them into subconsciously forgetting to do certain things, and it amplifies certain sensory stimuli.

Is this how they use it to make the opponents forget they have the surrender option?

Is it also by using this method to amplify the opponent's sense of pain and torture them?

Shen Sui felt a bit disappointed.

I thought it was some higher-tech thing, but I can do this too.

Shi Ruoyi didn't know that the power of the Messenger of Suffering did not affect Shen Sui at all.

She had already immersed herself in the fantasy of Shen Sui struggling desperately yet being tortured by her to death.

Oh heavens, what a marvelous scene that must be.

"Activate the effect of [Messenger of Suffering·Abdu]." Shi Ruoyi eagerly activated the Follower's effect, "Once per turn, inflict 1000 points of damage to the opponent."

A shadow appeared behind Shen Sui, the dark silhouette piercing directly through Shen Sui's chest.

Shen Sui felt a peculiar pain.

If amplified by the power, such pain would be unbearable.

No.

Shen Sui shook his head in disappointment.

No, such methods.

Just at this level, it can hardly be called a Dark Duel.
