Satellite Area.
On the deserted streets, the ruins of collapsed buildings were piled up randomly. The already dilapidated and dirty roads broke apart in the continuous tremors tonight, and broken electric poles and street lamps lay across the ground.
The air was filled with a foul and bizarre smell, and invisible particles were suspended in the air like elves.
After returning to their hometown after a few days away, Yusei and Jack drove the D-Wheel slowly on the empty road full of ruins, calmly observing the surrounding situation.
The twins and Izayoi Aki, who were also Signers, naturally followed. However, they did not have a D-Wheel or a driver's license, so they could only squeeze in with Yusei and Jack.
Well, Izayoi squeezed into the back seat of Yusei's D-Wheel, and the two children squeezed into Jack's Wheel of Fortune.
The twin's family has a lot of Wheel of Fortune figurines, and they have long been clamoring to ride a real Wheel of Fortune. Now that their dream had come true, they were so excited that they couldn't stop smiling.
At first, Aki was extremely reluctant to share a single-seat D-Wheel with Brother Crabhead, but considering that they were on a mission to save the world, and comparing it with Jack next to them, she secretly thought in her heart that "it seems that it is not impossible if it is Yusei", so she accepted it very reluctantly.
The two D-Wheels moved slowly in the Satellite area.
It was too quiet, so quiet that it was a little weird.
Even in the Satellite area, not all blocks were empty. This street should have been the downtown area compared to the Satellite area. In Yusei's memory, it was very lively every day.
Neo Domino City was in complete chaos tonight. There were many citizens who took advantage of the fire to rob, and the sheriff could not handle it at all. If the city was like this, let alone the Satellite area.
Yusei had thought that the Satellite District must be in complete chaos. The security here was relatively weak, and the people in the slums would fight for a little bit of profit. It was not uncommon for people to die in the chaotic neighborhoods.
But now the whole street was empty. There were no lawless people as he imagined. It was strangely quiet and there was no breath.
Or to be more precise, perhaps it should be said that there was no breath of living people.
At some point, the surroundings began to light up with scarlet lights like ghost fire.
Those were eyes, pairs of eyes hidden in the darkness. They were red and gloomy, and their sight was like cold spears, shooting at Yusei from all directions without hesitation, without concealing their beast-like greedy intentions.
Those shadows walked out of the darkness one by one.
Each of them was wearing a wide black robe with patterns similar to the Nazca Lines on the robe. Their eyes were hidden in the shadow of the hood, but they emitted a scarlet dark light.
Each person's forearm had clear purple lines and lines, and the light emitted was extremely eye-catching in the darkness. Each of their arms had spider-shaped marks.
"Dark Signers." Yusei frowned, "Are all of these..."
"Yes and no."
Some screwballs were immediately happy: "Then follow the guidance of the great Coke Spirite, all of you who play Dark Synchro are dead!"
The Dark Signer puppets and screwballs started fighting without saying a word, and the war was about to break out.
Yusei opened the Duel Disk and planned to find an opponent to fight, but was stopped by Yuei Vu.
"Don't waste time on these minions, they are immortal." Yuei Vu said, "They are just puppets, and they will return to their original state after winning the duel.
But there are too many of them. Instead of fighting them to death, it is better to find the source. After solving the source, these puppets will also fall apart."
Yusei agreed with his point of view. But before that, they must find Crow first.
Before Crow could finish his words, the communication was interrupted. He was very concerned about the situation of this companion anyway.
Yusei knew where Crow lived. He lived on the coast of the Satellite area, near the landmark building "Daedalus Bridge" in the slums.
While the players were fighting the dark-marked puppets, several Signers quickly left the battle and rushed directly to the Daedalus Bridge.
"Crow!"
When Yusei pushed the door open, he saw Crow in the middle of the empty room.
He knelt on the shabby floor, staring blankly at the rusty wall, and didn't even seem to notice someone calling his name.
"Crow, are you okay?"
Yusei squatted down to check on him but was stunned.
The expression he saw on Crow's face was an expression he had never seen before. It felt like a person who had lost everything, even the only hope in life was taken away, and could not find faith had a face as pale as death.
"Yusei?"
Crow looked at him blankly.
"They are gone, all gone. They were still here in the morning, and they said they would paint my portrait, but now they are all gone."
Yusei was stunned for a moment: "Who are you talking about, Crow? Who disappeared?"
Crow looked at him with difficulty.
"All the children I took care of are gone now."
