Perhaps because he and Yilin had faced the Dark Game together when they were young, Aisha's joy at escaping the disaster was no less than that of her childhood friend.
You Ling freed up one hand and scratched his cheek awkwardly.
"Well, Aisha...it's still me now."
"[?_??]Hi?"
The silver-white hair on top of her head curled slightly into a question mark shape. Aisha seemed to realize something, and a shy blush began to slowly creep up her cheeks.
"I, You Ling."
"Mr. Yu-Yu Ling... um, um... I forgot about it for a moment."
Immediately letting go of Yilin's body, Aixia stammered and tried to explain, making You Ling even more embarrassed.
Aixia never dreamed that the first time she and You Ling contacted each other through means other than souls would turn out to be like this.
At this time, Aisha Carlos was troubled by the problem in his heart.
"What should I do? If I carry him up there without any preparation, will Mr. You Ling hate me? Besides, my body is so messy and dirty now. Woohoo, I really want to take a shower before coming back."
It was a very girlish problem, but You Ling actually didn't care about it at all.
The only feeling was that looking at his host Aisha Carlos through Yilin's perspective seemed to be better looking than in the mirror.
"Forget it, I'll leave it to you, Rin."
——Soul exchange.
After returning control of Yilin's body, You Ling returned to the spiritual room of the Millennium Brick.
In a dreamy trance, Yilin's soul returned to his body. He first blinked his red eyes in confusion, then looked at the thousand-year-old building blocks on his chest, confirming that this was not a dream.
"Xiao Ai, this time it's my turn."
"Rin-chan?"
"Ah."
"Welcome back!"
Finally, I didn’t hug the wrong person this time.
Perhaps winning the Dark Game, for two people who have experienced the pain of the Dark Game together, means more than just a simple "victory".
"This is all thanks to You Ling being here."
"Well, Mr. You Ling is the best."
Of course, the two would not be so arrogant as to think that they won the dark game by their own strength.
There is no doubt that Yu Ling won these two dark games.
"Um, Rin-chan..."
After sharing the joy that only the two of them could feel, Aisha gestured to the thousand-year-old building block on Yilin's chest.
"Can you please give it back to me?"
"Oh, I almost forgot, hahaha."
Yilin scratched the back of his head and smiled the same smile as usual.
"Right, this is your thing after all, Xiao Ai, I certainly can't keep it forever. Now, well, I'm giving it back to you now."
Although he was smiling, Yilin's mood was more complicated than ever before.
It was so complicated that even she herself couldn't figure out what was going on with her.
When he took off the Millennium Brick hanging on his chest and returned it to his best friend, Yilin felt as if something important had been taken away from his heart.
The feeling of loss made Yilin's fingers break away from the Millennium Brick, and he couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Xiao Ai, she is my best friend. It was because of Xiao Ai that I was saved just now."
Finally, after repeatedly reaffirming his beliefs and principles, Yilin shook his little red-haired head vigorously, trying his best not to think too much.
After hanging the Millennium Brick back on his chest, the familiar soul connection was restored, allowing Aisha to regain his usual peace of mind.
It is said to be the peace of mind in daily life, but this kind of peace of mind can only be felt after You Ling arrives.
Now Aixia no longer dares to imagine what she would do if she left You Ling.
"Mr. You Ling."
"Ok?"
"You're not going to leave?"
"Well, probably."
The person asking this question needs to have somewhere to go.
After that it was a simple exchange of information.
After Aisha separated her and Yilin, she met Mizunotsuki, who had entered the mountain earlier and told Yilin about the defeat in the dark game.
After Yilin left, he met the barrier master Megan directly, but there was no information worth mentioning.
"Damn it! The Three Mythical Gods were actually false information released as bait!"
After learning the truth, Yilin felt that not only was he deceived, but Aixia was also implicated. He was certainly angry, but he felt more guilty.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Ai. I really have to take the blame this time. If it weren't for You Ling, we would probably all be stuck here like Shui Yuewu."
Of course, You Ling is also half to blame here.
If he was not extremely interested in the three mythical gods, Aisha would never have agreed to violate school rules and run to a place like the back mountain at night.
"It's okay, Rin-chan. At least it has a good ending."
Aisha, the most innocent person in this matter, will definitely not blame anyone given her character.
"Look at the bright side. If we hadn't come, Mizunotsuki-san, whose card was taken away by the Dark Game, might have died. Even these Dark Duelists would have continued to hurt more students."
When a card is stripped of its soul by a dark duel, it will irreversibly damage the duelist's spirit or life. But if the missing puzzle piece is put back in time, it can still be saved.
"By the way, Xiao Ai, did you guys really return the soul card that Mizunotsuki had taken away in the Dark Duel? That B-rank magic Resurrection of the Dead... you are worthy of it."
Unexpected, but not really unexpected to be honest.
Yilin knew Aixia too well. Her kindness was pure and without any hypocrisy. It was the purest light of humanity.
If cards and life were weighed on a scale, Aisha would definitely not choose the former out of greed.
"In that case."
Yilin opened the deck and took out the only tradable card in the deck.
The magic card [Fusion] that I won from Megan.
"Young man with good intentions, I give you this card as a reward for your pure heart."
Yilin stuffed the card into Aixia's hand and playfully pretended to be the river god in the fairy tale.
"Rin-chan?" Aisha was flattered. "Isn't this fusion spell very useful for your hero deck? Can you really give it to me?"
"I think it's great. Besides, this is the card that You Ling won. If I give it to you, there's no problem at all. You are not allowed to refuse!"
You Ling: "I won't allow you to refuse!"
The fusion of ordinary bones is very interesting.
"Okay, then I won't be polite!"
Chapter 47: The Final Duel
After all, they are classmates, so it is reasonable for Aisha and Yilin to go back and see Mizunotsuki who is in a coma.
But when the two arrived at the crime scene in Aixia and You Ling's memory, they did not find Shuiyue Wu.
Including the body of the twisted black-robed man, everything disappeared.
The quiet environment in the back mountain makes it seem as if nothing has happened.
"(?oωo?) I'm not lying to you, Rin-chan, a dark game really happened here."
Since all traces and evidence of the battle disappeared inexplicably, Aisha took the initiative and planned to prove her innocence by acting cute.
"Of course, I never doubted you, Xiao Ai." Yi Lin smiled and said, "You and You Ling definitely didn't have to lie to me. It seems that something happened here after you left. Or maybe Shui Yuewu went back on his own after waking up."
Yilin's guess was not unreasonable, but You Ling always felt that there was something wrong.
There were so many strange things happening tonight, more than all the strange things You Ling had encountered in the past month since he traveled through time.
And it might be some kind of intuition of You Ling.
The dark duelist, the Millennium Wheel of Wisdom, the rumors about the Three Mythical Gods, the overwhelming pressure when entering the back mountain, the mysterious voice he heard, and the Millennium Bricks that guided the way.
All the strange things that happened tonight may be connected to the same point.
When did I realize, no, should I say when did I 'realize' the existence of a certain 'form'.
People who are related to the Three Mythical Gods, the Millennium Wheel of Wisdom, and the Millennium Building Blocks.
In You Ling's 'consciousness', there is and only that one person.
"It's getting late. We'd better go back quickly, Xiao Ai. If we go back too late and are discovered by our dorm supervisor, Ms. Lily, it will be very scary."
When Yilin thought of the dormitory teacher who usually looked gentle and kind with a thundercloud above his head, he couldn't help but shudder.
"Well, I can finally go back...ah, is this necessary?"
Aixia, who had long wanted to crawl back into her warm bed, was very glad that she could finally go back to the dormitory.
But he was interrupted by You Ling's voice.
"Okay, since you said so, Mr. You Ling."
On Aixia's chest, the Millennium Brick glowed and swayed slightly, indicating that the control of Aixia's body was once again exchanged with You Ling tonight.
"Rin, you should go back first. I have some issues to deal with alone."
"cold?"
Yilin reacted immediately.
"You are You Ling."
This is really bad.
Before, every time You Ling controlled Aixia's body, Yilin would always feel jealous, thinking that he was taking advantage of the girl again.
But now that You Ling was controlling Aixia's body, Yilin became inexplicably nervous when facing him.
If it wasn't for the dark sky, the slight blush on Yilin's cheeks would have been exposed.
Of course there is jealousy, but the object of jealousy seems to be different.
"What is the problem that must be solved alone? Can't I go together?" Yilin blinked her red eyes and asked.
"If we don't go alone, the problem may become more complicated. Trust me, Rin, I will definitely bring Aisha back safely."
"Well!"
Turning his head quickly, Yilin knew that the blush on his face could not even be concealed by the night.
"Well, I believe you, You Ling. It's really getting late, you must come back early. I'll wait for you in the dormitory."
Aisha: "That's obviously my dormitory. Rin-chan really doesn't consider herself an outsider at all recently."
While listening to Aixia's complaints in his mind, while watching Yilin turning around and running away in the distance... You Ling knew that the final highlight of the night was just about to begin.
What a long night it was.
Aixia: "Mr. You Ling, what is the problem you are talking about?"
"Just wait, if I'm not mistaken."
In the silence that almost blended into the night, You Ling, without saying a word, controlled Aixia's body to remain motionless, only narrowing his eyes slightly as if he was waiting for something.
After roughly calculating the time, thinking that Yi Lin should have completely left the back mountain area by now, You Ling finally spoke.
"You there?"
"Possessing such a high degree of divine pressure."
