Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 596

Chương 596: Chapter 596: Zigfried Is Dead

Ten minutes later, a KaibaCorp field team had arrived at the villa.

"It's definitely Zigfried Lloyd."

A team member came out, carrying a laptop, to Mokuba outside. The smell inside was too much, so Kira and Mokuba had already gone outside.

"He's dead?" Mokuba asked. "Because of a Shadow Duel?" 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"No, I think it was illness."

The team member reported.

"And it wasn't recent. The exact time is hard to determine, but judging from the body, he's been dead for at least three months."

Mokuba was stunned.

Three months?

But they had just seen Zigfried Lloyd, talked to him, even played a duel.

If the real Zigfried Lloyd had died three months ago, then who did they see?

Who did they duel against?

Thinking of this, Mokuba broke into a cold sweat. Instinctively, he glanced back at the villa, which now seemed even more ominous.

Zigfried's resentment before death, his twisted expression, his deathly pale face—all flashed back, making Mokuba shiver.

It was as if the vengeful spirit still lingered, glaring at them from the shadows.

"Kira..."

Mokuba looked at Kira.

"Did we just..."

"See a ghost? Probably." Kira said.

Mokuba: "..."

Could you not say something so scary in such a calm tone?

"What's wrong?" Kira said casually. "Didn't we just discuss how ghosts aren't that rare?"

Mokuba was speechless.

True. Before the duel, they had just been talking about how the previous Duel King was a 3,000-year-old ghost.

So what Kira meant was, ghost or not, it's already been beaten—nothing too scary.

"But what I'm wondering is, why?" Kira thought, stroking his chin. "Why did he end up like this?" 1

In this world, people have souls, but it's not easy for them to become vengeful ghosts. Normally, the dead return to the afterlife, and someone like the Pharaoh only hung around for 3,000 years due to extraordinary circumstances and supernatural power.

Zigfried Lloyd was a genius and a capitalist, but hadn't dealt with the supernatural. His words and actions in the duel suggest someone helped him.

Someone gave him the power to persist as a soul after death and to start a Shadow Duel with Kira.

Kira, having read many ancient texts, especially on dark powers, understood: for a soul to persist and gain Shadow Duel powers is not something just any dark duelist can grant.

Whoever did this must be very powerful.

This character only briefly appeared in the KC arc, but is beloved by fans—especially those with a foot fetish. In his duel with Yugi, even though he lost, he did something no one else has done:

He took off Dark Magician Girl's little boots. 1

"Well, good luck with your investigation. If there's nothing else, I'll head back to the Academy."

As he spoke, Kira remotely called his jet plane through his duel disk system. The jet from Kaiba could auto-pilot to his position.

"Let me know if you need anything."

"Alright." Mokuba nodded. "Thanks again, I'll let my brother know."

Just then, another subordinate hurried over.

"Sorry to interrupt, sir, but we found a clue." He said. "The surveillance system at the house entrance was still running. We pulled the footage and found someone visited five days ago."

"Oh? Who?" Mokuba asked.

Zigfried had been dead for three months, so anyone entering the villa during that time was suspicious.

"Facial recognition says his name is... Ryuya Saito? Just a local thug from a nearby town."

"A thug?" Mokuba was surprised. "A Shadow Duelist?"

"No, just a normal thug."

"That's odd." Mokuba muttered.

"Looks like I'll be getting back to the dorm late tonight," Kira said. "Do you have an address? I can go check it out, and politely ask Mr. Saito what he knows." 2
