"really?" "Really. I have the chat records as evidence." Chapter 30: Rumors of the Three Mythical Gods "Xiao Ai, have you heard about the rumors about the three mythical gods?" I don’t know if it’s to supervise You Ling, but Yi Lin stays in Aixia’s dormitory more and more frequently. In the dormitory after dinner, the two of them just silently flipped through the novels in their hands at first. After about a quarter of an hour of silence, Yi Lin suddenly brought up this matter without any warning. "Three Phantom Gods, what are those?" You Ling: "Aixia, you don't even know the Three Mythical Gods?" "totally no idea." "Have you ever really played cards?"
Even Yu-Ring, a player who has not officially entered the Yu-Gi-Oh game, has heard of the names of the Three Mythical Gods. Those are three cards that are tied to the Yu-Gi-Oh IP and are well-known all over the world. What You Ling didn't expect was that in this elf continent where duel monsters are the main power system, his host Aisha Carlos didn't even know the existence of the three mythical gods. You Ling even suspected that Aixia spent the whole day in the library reading some weird books. "It's normal that you don't know, Xiao Ai. After all, there is no official written material that records anything about the Three Mythical Gods. There are only some gossips circulating on the mainland." After clearing his throat with two dry coughs, Yilin was ready to brag to Aixia. "The so-called Three Mythical Gods are the existences that stand at the top of all monsters, and they possess the most powerful God Cards. So far, no one has really seen their true faces, and few people know the specific names of the three gods. But I know! They are..." "So it's Osiris's Sky Dragon, the Sun God's Winged Dragon, and Obelisk's Giant God Soldier." Interrupting Yilin's spell casting, Aisha answered the question first. Shocked Yilin opened her cute little rosy mouth slightly, then slowly closed it, as if she seemed to be hesitant to speak. "Why? Xiao Ai, you don't even know the three mythical gods, but you know the names of the three gods?" "Hehe." Aixia stuck out her tongue mischievously, "Mr. You Ling just told me that." "Hey, that guy again..." Yilin, who is jealous of You Ling, expresses her dissatisfaction with puffy cheeks every time Aixia mentions him. "Humph, so what if you know the names of the three mythical gods? You Ling definitely doesn't know what I'm going to say next!" I don’t know what they are comparing, but Yilin always wants to show Aixia that she is better than You Ling. "So what's the matter that made you suddenly mention the Three Mythical Gods, Rin-chan?" "Don't be surprised when I hear that. According to reliable information, someone has seen the cards of the Three Mythical Gods in the back mountain of the academy!" "..."
Not as excited as Yilin had imagined, Aixia just blinked her big emerald green eyes a few times. "really?" "Really? I have the chat records as evidence!" "Can that thing be used as evidence?" You Ling: "Wait, the biggest question is, isn't this a world of swords and magic? Where did the chat records come from?" Actually, there are. Although it is not Line, QQ or the like, there is a communication tool called "Guide Worm" in the Elf Continent, which can record the messages to be transmitted remotely using fluorescent agents secreted in the body. "I didn't believe it at first. I thought it was just a rumor. It's really too fantastic that a card like the Three Mythical Gods would appear in an ordinary place like the back mountain of the academy. But..." Yilin, pretending to be mysterious, approached Aixia with squinted eyes like a crawling kitten and put his mouth close to Aixia's ear. "But, there is a definite eyewitness. Ron from the first year." "Ron? There seems to be such a person in our class." It's a familiar name. I have indeed heard of Aisha, but I can't remember her specific appearance. This kind of 100% pure passerby character is really hard to leave a deep impression on people. "So Ron saw the Three Phantom Gods?" "No, Ron was the first person to go to the back mountain to find the truth after hearing the rumor." You Ling: "How could a passerby be so brave? His end must be tragic." "Ron seems to have been sent home to recuperate because of mental disorder." "Let me tell you." The result was exactly the same as You Ling had expected. Aixia complained: "He was sent home to recuperate due to mental disorder. How can he be considered an eyewitness?" "The point is this insanity!" Yilin's red eyes suddenly turned serious. "When Ron was found and carried out from the back mountain, he kept muttering 'It's a god, a phantom god, Kami da', as if he had been brainwashed." “This is too weird.” As if she had heard a horror urban legend, Aisha felt a chill on her back and shrank her head into her clothes. "Anyway, let's go!" "Go, go? Where are we going? Rin-chan, don't scare me." "Where else can we go? Of course, the hills behind the academy." "No, no, no, I won't go even if you kill me. Besides, it's already so late." You Ling: "Actually, I'm quite interested as well." "("＞＜)" Then I'll go!"
Swallowing her timid tears, Aixia would rather let herself suffer a little injustice in order to satisfy You Ling's interests. The back hill of Fusheng College—— It was already completely dark, but it wasn't actually as late as Aixia said. Probably only an hour or two after dinner, you can still see young couples walking on the street in the college. As for the place behind the college, although it is called the 'back hill of the college', its actual geographical location is just next to Fu Sheng College. Because there is a wall separating them, it is considered an area outside the jurisdiction of the academy. If you want to go to the back mountain, you must climb over the wall of Fu Sheng Academy. This is clearly a violation of school rules, and if discovered, credits will definitely be deducted. "It's not too late to turn back now, Rin-chan." "We've already come this far, how can we turn back? Besides, it seems like someone has already gotten there first." After taking a look at the footprints left outside the courtyard wall, Yi Lin analyzed that perhaps someone was like him, who, after hearing the rumors about the three mythical gods, could not help but go to the back mountain to find out. "Hurry up, Aisha, things like this are always on a first come, first served basis." With his fairly good motor skills, he jumped onto the wall in two steps. Then Yilin reached out and pulled the light-bodied Aisha up, then threw her over the wall. “Ahhhh, my first time… my first time breaking school rules, ow!” As she stepped outside the school, a strong sense of guilt lingered in Aisha's heart. You Ling: "How should I put it... this back mountain does seem to have some problems." However, when Aisha stepped on the land at the back of the mountain, You Ling was the first to notice something was wrong. I thought that this rumor about the Three Mythical God Cards was only 20% credible at most, and it was most likely a rumor caused by some people's bored prank. But at this moment, the thousand-year-old building blocks became more restless than ever before. Even You Ling, who was in soul state, felt a powerful pressure of unknown origin. “Is this really the pressure from God?” Chapter 31: An unknown place The deeper you go, the more you can feel the abnormality of the dark environment behind the college. When viewed from the academy during the day, the mountain, which looked plain and level, seemed to transform into a giant beast that devoured the past at night. Every step forward will cause your sanity to drop wildly. It is no wonder that the ordinary-looking man named 'Ron' became mentally disturbed when he was found and carried out from the back mountain. The indescribable fear coming from the depths of the soul, in the boundless darkness, oppresses every nerve of the person involved at all times. Combined with the full moon in the sky above her head, which was a little dimmer than usual, Aixia had a strong and real premonition of ominousness.
"Rin-chan, why don't we go back first? This place doesn't look good." Aisha, who was following behind, pulled Yilin's sleeve and tried to persuade her best friend - the road ahead might be hell, so it's better to turn back. However, Yilin's mind at this moment was not at all focused on the deep and terrifying environment around him. "It's so strange, the footprints are gone." Yilin frowned tightly. Yi Lin, who was walking in front and leading the way, was following the footsteps of those who had entered the back mountain before him. But without any warning, the footsteps disappeared at this moment. The strangest thing was that the footprints disappeared in an extremely strange way... It was as if the space was cut off, and the last footprint only left the back half of the foot. Such a strange phenomenon made Yilin struggle as to whether or not to try to take that step forward. Next, probably nothing will happen. It could also be the worst outcome, where you also leave half a footprint and then disappear. Turn back? Do not! Hero, you can't escape from the battlefield! Yilin mustered up the courage to take a step forward. …… Nothing happened. "Oh, I think too much." Seeing that nothing happened, Yilin felt relieved. "It seems that I scared myself. How shameful. Let's continue on our journey, Xiao Ai." Subconsciously reaching back to pull Aixia, Yilin was horrified to find that he had touched nothing. "It's a lie, it's a lie..." The primitive fear from the depths of the abnormal space spread around Yilin, causing this usually fearless girl to swallow nervously before slowly turning back. The scene behind him was exactly the same as when he came here. The only difference was that Aixia, who was following him, had disappeared inexplicably. At the same time, the scenery of the back mountain in Aixia's eyes did not change at all. Strangely, in just a blink of an eye, Yilin took a step forward and disappeared from sight the next second. "What on earth is going on?" The child was so frightened that he couldn't speak. Aixia, who was stammering, suddenly fell into panic and helplessness, alone. No, it seems that I am not alone.
"Mr. You Ling, are you there? Are you there? Please pay attention to me, please, please!" Aisha's voice was almost close to thirst. If she were alone in this unknown and terrifying environment, Aisha's nerves would definitely collapse. By then, there might be a second insane Ron. "Well, I'm here." At this moment, You Ling's calm voice was like the light of salvation shining into the bottom of the dark abyss, a life-saving straw for the soul, hope in despair, so sacred and noble that Aixia could not help but burst into tears.
