Dark Duel, as the chairman, I have no choice but to take part in it myself!

As he spoke, he lifted up the dead man's right hand. In this short period of time, the hand turned pale and even stiff, as if all the vitality had been drained away.

"It could be a car accident, it could be sudden death from staying up late, it could be falling from a height while sleepwalking, or it could even be suicide due to bad luck in drawing a card."

"At first we thought it was just a coincidence, but as the number of people grew, everyone noticed something was wrong."

“This is undoubtedly a vicious incident.”

"Although it is not enough to shake the foundation of the entire Synchronic Academy, and the number of people who showed up is just a drop in the bucket compared to the total number of people in the Synchronic Academy, it has still caused some voices to appear in the academy."

However, what Carl did not say was that this incident also exacerbated the conflicts among various forces, and everyone was trying their best to shift the blame to their opponents.

Then he turned his face to the expressionless You Xian again: "But please rest assured, the probability of this kind of 'abnormal accident' is still very, very small, and no professor or above duelist has ever encountered such a thing."

"I suspect this 'unusual' accident is ineffective against duelists above the professor level."

"And we have already arranged for a group called 'Investigators' to investigate this matter. I believe they will be able to resolve all the issues in no time."

From Kate's tone, it can be heard that although this matter exudes an evil aura no matter how you look at it, he is very confident in their investigators.

"Is it."

You Xian nodded without comment, but his expression remained unchanged.

Although Kate said that this "abnormal accident" would not pose any threat to You Xian, he still couldn't let go of his worries.

Anything involving the power of elves is probably not a simple matter, not to mention that there is a high probability that the power of elves is being used to "kill people".

Could it be that hidden behind this is the Dark Duelist organization that is stirring up trouble at the Super Academy?

This was the first thought that popped into You Xian’s mind.

But if it was really them, what did they want to do this time? Did they just want to conduct a new experiment? Or did they have other purposes, such as whether it was related to the seal of the dragon?

What kind of spirit could this be that could take a person's life in an 'accident'? Could it be related to death?

However, while You Xian was still thinking, a girl gradually appeared in his sight from the corner of the street.

She was wearing black stockings and a scarf fluttering gently around her neck, making her look as mysterious as a shadow in the night. Her tall figure made her look even more proud and noble, and her steps were steady but not hurried, as if she only cared about her own pace.

Her long black hair was smooth and gorgeous, like the twinkling stars in the night, with a hint of coldness in the slight fluctuations. Her eyes were as deep as obsidian, revealing a cold sharpness, as if she could see through everything, yet was elusive.

After approaching this location, the girl obviously noticed the situation here. But whether it was You Xian, the chairman of Shenghua, or the man on the ground who looked like he had just been moved out of an ice cellar, she was not moved at all. Her face still had that kind of indifference that seemed to keep people away from her.

"..."

Although this was a guy who looked very familiar to You Xian, he had no intention of talking to her. He just stood quietly not far from the girl and looked at her, then hid his face under the white hood again and returned his gaze to Kate.

Needless to say, the identity of this girl is naturally Sophia, whom Youxian had met as Tiera.

However, even though both of You Xian's aliases "knew" Sophia, and he had contact with Sophia in the capacity of Shenghua's chairman, he and Sophia were actually real "strangers".

Because the Sophia that You Xian had met as the chairman of Shenghua was a disguised Sophia, at this time he could not show that he recognized Sophia, otherwise he would be exposed.

And because he has fooled Sophia too many times, You Xian is now a little afraid of Sophia.

The more she interacted with this guy, the easier it would be to expose his true colors, so it was better to have less contact with him. Therefore, You Xian didn't even plan to just attack the other person's pupils.

However, even though Youxian intended to "avoid", Sophia did not.

Instead, she stopped in front of You Xian and Karl, and looked at them and the corpse on the ground with cold eyes.

The power of death, the guys who killed Aleshat appeared again.

Chapter 131 Sophia's Suspicion

Carl, who was still talking to You Xian, also found that something was wrong with the surrounding environment.

It was as if the atmosphere... became colder? The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped a lot for some reason. It felt as strange as the appearance of the snow girl in the story.

What happened?

Thinking of this, Carl looked in the direction where the cold came from, only to find a girl not far away staring at their position calmly.

The girl's eyes were very 'cold', and at the same time they were 'lifeless', like a dying person who had lost the will to live.

But it was the look of this 'dying man' that made Carl immediately turn his head back, and at the same time he secretly cursed 'bad luck' in his heart.

How unlucky I am! First I encountered an abnormal accidental death and then I ran into this crazy woman. It's so unfortunate that they met under such circumstances.

What if this crazy woman goes crazy and turns him into a corpse?

However, even though he cursed in his heart, he did not dare to do anything rash on the surface. He just turned his back to Sophia and pretended to be dead, just like You Xian.

Yes, just pretend to be dead.

Even though Karl himself was a member of Kate's family, he would be protected by Kate's family according to common sense. But Karl, or most of Kate's family members, were a little afraid of this woman named Sophia.

Just like an explosive deck without escort is afraid of hand pits, Sophia is a guy that can make the entire Kate family afraid.

But Sophia was not always so powerful. Two weeks ago, although she held a high position in the Synchrony Academy, she had little presence.

Reclusive, low-key, and keeping a low profile, these words seem to be tailor-made for this person.

She has never shown any ambition. Although she is not very old, she seems to have entered the state of tanking early.

As a result, few people in the Synchronicity Academy noticed her, and many people just regarded her as a mascot.

Until a few days ago...

The originally low-key Sophia suddenly became extremely aggressive. She began to interfere in the operation of various important departments, and even touched some taboos that were generally not allowed to be touched.

It was at this time that everyone realized how powerful this woman was. Her previous low-key attitude was just a way to hide her strength.

Unconsciously, a huge network of power has already been woven around her.

After saying "I don't want to act anymore", Sophia did not immediately get involved in the fight for the chairman's position. Instead, she was particularly concerned about the recent abnormal accidental deaths.

As a result, anyone who stands in her way because of this matter will be "dealt with" in a swift and resolute manner.

Overstepping her authority? She was indeed blatantly overstepping her authority, but if anyone dared to criticize her for this, being demoted would be considered a 'good ending'.

With the power displayed by Sophia, even the Kate family and Byron Kinworth did not dare to act rashly against her.

Not to mention, this guy himself is actually an extremely strong duelist.

Anyway, she was only interested in those guys who died suddenly and inexplicably, so let her investigate. She had already fallen into a 'disadvantage' by exposing her true strength for such an inexplicable reason. At least everyone was alert enough and it was impossible for her to be tricked again.

According to Carl's guess, Sophia was probably attracted by the corpse.

I have to say that Sophia is really concerned about this matter. She would even come to the scene to investigate the deceased occasionally, like today.

But Carl didn't know what her real purpose was. Anyway, he didn't believe that this woman really just wanted to contribute to the Synchronicity Academy.

Thinking of this, he winked in You Xian's direction again.

If possible, Carl didn't want to have any contact with that inexplicable crazy woman. After all, such an uncontrollable person was too dangerous.

However, if he dragged You Xian away for no apparent reason, it would seem very strange, as if Carl was afraid of this woman.

Well... although he was indeed a little scared, he couldn't show it in front of You Xian.

So he was actually awkward for a moment, not knowing whether he should retreat.

At the same time, investigators from the Super Academy Guard, who were far more efficient and faster, also quickly arrived at the scene.

These people were all wearing uniform clothes and looked very capable and strong.

They first bowed respectfully to Sophia and then quickly came to You Xian and Carl.

Although their expressions showed that they were very surprised as to why You Xian, the chairman of Shenghua, came to the Synchronicity Academy, these people were still very dedicated and first moved the corpse, which was gradually hardening on the ground, away.

Although Sophia gave them a few instructions when they were about to load the body into the car, she had no intention of leaving with them.

She still stood there, looking quietly in the direction of Youxian, as if she was still thinking about something.

In fact, since Sophia experienced life and death and "hardships" in the Super Academy, she has also gained some "growth".

It's not that the deck has become stronger nor that the magic power has increased. What Sophia has gained is a more precious and interesting growth - her control over the power of the elves has become stronger than ever.

This allowed her to begin to "see through" the people around her and see whether the person in front of her had any elven power.

The 'elf power' referred to here is not just a simple application, but a deeper exploration, just like obtaining some of the characteristics of certain card elves.

She didn't realize it at first, until she participated in the gathering of the World Ruined Church, when she suddenly discovered that she actually had such ability.

Because she clearly discovered that the master of the World Ruined Church, the Star God Tiera, was hiding a powerful elven power. Although she was unable to verify the source of Tiera's power, she could feel the suffocating power.

It wasn't just Tiera. Among the four members of the World Ruined Church at that time, including the newcomer from the Connection Academy, only Sophia herself did not have that terrifying power.

It is precisely because of this unique ability that Sophia was able to quickly identify those who died abnormally after returning to the Synchronization Academy.

There is also residual elven power in those people!

And now, this ability helped her again. The moment she saw You Xian, she immediately sensed the spirit power in him, and it was the top level of spirit power.

So this chairman from Shenghua...I'm afraid he is not simple at all.

She had used this ability to visit the old man in Byron Kingworth, but in the end she gained nothing. It was conceivable that the old man did not have any powerful elf power at all.

At the top, she was just like she was before she went to the Super Academy, and could use some spirit powers. Sophia originally thought that even the chairman level could not touch the secret of spirit power, but now it seems that even if they are both chairmen, there is still a big gap between them.

Therefore, Sophia stopped here naturally to invite You Xian to have a chat and to test the quality of the chairman of Shenghua.

After all, in Sophia's opinion, You Xian was actually a bit suspicious.

In other words, the fact that he appeared at the Super Academy last time was already suspicious.

However, You Xian didn't want to have any contact with Sophia at all. He was aware that Sophia was still paying attention to his movements, but he turned his head and looked at Karl: "Let's go, our tour is not over yet."

As he said this, he waved his hand to signal Carl beside him.

"Oh, oh, okay, okay."

Carl, as if waking up from a dream, nodded immediately, and then hurried to catch up with You Xian in front.

Fortunately, You Xian was very sensible and did not stay in that place any longer.

He put on his bowler hat with his hands and followed You Xian, sighing in his heart.

Fortunately, Sophia did not chase after Youxian because of his "escape". She just stood there quietly, watching Youxian disappear little by little at the end of the street corner through her beautiful glasses.

Sophia could naturally see that You Xian was trying to "escape", and she could even see a sense of embarrassment and haste in You Xian's steps as he left, as if he was embarrassed about not wanting his secret to be exposed.

But so what? Since the chairman of Shenghua has come to the Synchronicity Academy, it will be extremely difficult for him to escape from his grasp.

If you just want to find an opportunity to test it, it is definitely not a difficult thing, so there is no need to be so anxious.

What's more, her subordinates just brought her a very good news, and she still needed to deal with it.

==================Dividing line==================

After leaving, You Xian sighed inwardly. He knew that his hasty departure would undoubtedly increase Sophia's suspicion again. After all, it was obvious that Sophia had been targeting him for unknown reasons.

But he really didn't want to have a head-on confrontation with Sophia. Although his acting skills had always been good, Sophia now always gave him a sense of danger.

Just like...her clear eyes have the power to see through everything. If you have too much contact with her, you will be exposed sooner or later.

Because of the incident that just happened, Carl and Youxian also became silent. He no longer introduced the characteristics of the Synchronic Academy, but simply took Youxian for a "shopping" in the Synchronic Academy.

Even the destination had changed significantly. You Xian felt that he was inadvertently taking him to a more remote direction.

You Xian guessed that Carl, after clearing his mind, subconsciously took him to the place where he usually took a walk.

It was not until You Xian and Sophia had created a considerable distance between them that You Xian broke the silence.

He lowered his voice and asked casually while walking in the snow: "Who was that girl just now? She doesn't seem to be a simple person."

Karl was stunned for about a second because of You Xian's sudden question: "Girl?"

After realizing who Youxian was talking about, he forced a smile and shook his head.

"That's not an ordinary girl. She's the head of the decision-making department, and she's considered a big shot in our Synchronicity Academy."

"But recently she has also been serving as the head of the investigators' team."

Seeing his strange attitude, You Xian, who was very curious about Sophia's current condition, asked again:

"I noticed that she seemed to be very concerned about those unnatural and accidental deaths?"

"You figured it out, it's true."

"In fact, she was the one who first organized the investigators. It is said that all the information related to those accidents must be reviewed by her first."

"But the decision-making department doesn't seem to be responsible for this aspect of work? Is she trying to take on other people's responsibilities?"

The so-called decision-making department is actually a department with a high status but not a particularly powerful one. Their job is to decide the main direction and major activities of the college, and to make suggestions for the future planning of the college.
