Chapter 774: The Cursed Doll
Chapter 774: The Cursed Doll
That night, Alice anxiously arrived at You Xuan's room.
Yes, she obediently came as instructed. However, she herself didn't seem to fully understand why, as if the man's words carried an irresistible force, making her heart race all day, and she couldn't bear not to show up.
Right, I'm here to plunge a powerful duelist into the realm of despair. This person seems to be the most powerful duelist in this academy, and should be her best prey.
Be confident, this person is the prey. She is the hunter, and the best one at that.
That's right, that's how it is. Alice reaffirmed her belief.
After sorting out her thoughts, she hesitated outside the door for several minutes to encourage herself, and finally, Alice gathered her courage and knocked on the door.
Upon knocking, she realized the door wasn't locked. So, she mustered her courage and stepped inside.
"You finally came."
You Xuan had been waiting and immediately stood up without saying a word, as the duel disk was already prepared.
"Here you go, this is what you wanted, right? A duel?"
"Yes, yes!"
Alice stiffened her neck, trying to look intimidating. But her doll-like face, with its youthful features, looked a bit silly, making her appear somewhat comical.
"I want...I want to plunge you into a realm of despair from now on, extinguishing the light of hope for you duelists!" she shouted, "I want you to never see hope in your duels again!"
"Wow, that's truly terrifying." You Xuan smiled, "Then let me see what you've got."
"Duel!" x2
【You Xuan, LP: 4000】
【Alice, LP: 4000】
"I'll go first and draw a card!"
The doll girl drew a card and took two deep breaths to calm herself.
"I normal summon 'Bewildered Porcelain Doll - Alice' in defense position!" (Original Card)
The doll she summoned was a delicate, golden-haired doll, a beautiful toy, but with empty eyes devoid of any spirit, crouching in a defensive pose in front of her.
【Bewildered Porcelain Doll - Alice, DEF: 1000】
"I set two cards and then activate this one."
The doll girl carefully drew another card from her hand and placed it in the popped-out slot on the duel disk.
"Field Spell Card, 'Cursed Doll House'!" (Original Card)
As the field spell was activated, a massive structure rose from the ground. The dorm room disappeared, transforming into a grand living room with white walls, tall windows, and an ancient fireplace at the far end.
"My turn, I draw."
You Xuan added the drawn card to his hand and then calmly drew another card, placing it in the duel disk.
"Special Summon 'Electronic Dragon'."
You Xuan slapped the monster card onto the duel disk. A silver mechanical dragon roared, appearing on You Xuan's field amidst flashing electric lights.
【Electronic Dragon, ATK: 2100】
"Electronic Dragon can be special summoned from the hand without tributes when there is a monster on the opponent's field and no monsters on your field."
Alice watched tensely, her youthful face taut, "A Level 5 monster with 2100 ATK right away?"
"Electronic Dragon, attack 'Bewildered Porcelain Doll - Alice'!"
The electronic dragon opened its mouth, and blue electric lights surged to its lips, shooting out an evolutionary shock flame that struck Alice's doll directly.
The doll's body trembled slightly, completely overwhelmed by the electronic dragon's power, yet it stubbornly held its ground.
"The effect of 'Bewildered Porcelain Doll - Alice' prevents this card from being destroyed by battle!" Alice explained, "Additionally, when this card is targeted for an attack, it inflicts 500 points of rebound damage on the opponent!"
【You Xuan, LP: 4000 → 3500】
"Indeed, the effect reflected the damage back to You Xuan, and Alice seemed to have a bit of courage as she unconsciously puffed out her chest. She continued her commentary, "And as the final part of this effect, the control of this card is transferred to the opponent!"
The delicate golden-haired doll took a big step forward and arrived at You Xuan's side of the field, maintaining her defensive posture.
"Oh, the control is given to me?" You Xuan smiled, "This seems to be getting a little interesting now."
"At this moment, the Field Spell 'Cursed Doll House' also activates its effect!" Alice explained, "When 'Bewildered Porcelain Doll - Alice' transfers control to the opponent, the controller of this card can Special Summon a monster with the name 'Doll Part' from the Deck!"
She carefully searched through her Deck in her Duel Disk and revealed a monster card.
"I Special Summon 'Doll Part - Blue'!"
A somewhat eerie doll head appeared, with hollow eyes and a face that seemed to have been split in half, as if it had rolled out of a horror movie set.
[Doll Part - Blue, ATK 0]
"A cursed doll with a horror movie vibe. Truly a card from the netherworld," You Xuan nodded slightly, giving his evaluation.
"However, at this moment, I will also activate the Quick-Play Spell 'End of the World' from my hand!
It can only be activated when the opponent successfully Special Summons a monster, and you can select and activate a Field Spell Card from your Deck."
You Xuan's Deck also performed a search, and his Duel Disk automatically sorted and presented the desired card to him. The Deck then shuffled itself.

"I activate this card from my Deck—
—Field Spell 'Chaotic Space'!"
A chaotic vortex rose, and the dollhouse scene disappeared in an instant. A vast blue domain dominated the field as if it were an endless ocean.
"Ah," Alice said sadly, "My dollhouse..."
"Chaotic Space is a Field Spell that allows you to place a Chaos Counter when a monster is removed from the game," You Xuan explained.
Alice anxiously glanced at You Xuan.
"Is this a Duelist type that relies on removing cards from play for combat?"
"I haven't performed a Normal Summon this turn yet," You Xuan said, "I'll Set a monster in Defense Position on my side of the field, and my turn ends."
"Then it's my turn to draw."
Alice looked at the card she drew, thought for a moment, and then spoke up.
"I activate the Spell Card 'Covetous Flask', allowing me to draw two cards from my Deck."
"Next, I Normal Summon 'Doll Part - Gold'!"
Dark and gloomy energy swirled, and from it emerged a doll's arm riddled with a thousand wounds.
[Doll Part - Gold, ATK 0]
"Direct attack! 'Doll Part - Blue' attacks 'Electronic Dragon'!"
[Doll Part - Blue, ATK 0]
"Oh?" You Xuan examined her with interest.
This damaged netherworld doll head was a Normal Monster with no monster effects, and its description was simply, "A doll's head that has been damaged."
So, the trick must not be in this head.
"At this moment, I activate the Quick-Play Spell 'Contraction' to halve the ATK of all monsters on the field!" Alice declared, "Reducing the ATK of 'Electronic Dragon' to half its original value!"
[Electronic Dragon, ATK 2100 → 1050]
Of course, even with the reduction, Electronic Dragon's ATK was still higher.
But You Xuan was intrigued and wanted to see what the doll master was up to, so he waved his hand in cooperation.
"Then, Electronic Dragon, strike back!
