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

Yes, just a suggestion.

To be honest, this department is a bit like the chairman's staff.

The chairman of the decision-making department is the manager of the decision-making department, and their rank is equivalent to that of the vice-president. However, generally speaking, the counterpart is only a vice-president without real power, like the one that Youxian beat up in the Super Academy before.

However, Sophia now... Decision-making Department? Decision-making Department! As long as it is not too extreme, most of the decisions made by her will be passed.

Of course, although You Xian is the chairman of Shenghua, he has never been involved in the decision-making department, and there is actually no suitable candidate for this position.

We can't just dig Sophia here, right? Let's not talk about whether we can dig her here, if we really dig her here, we might just dig up Cao Cao.

"Who knows?"

"It is said that she has recently expanded the number of investigators against all odds, and seems to be planning to catch the mastermind behind this incident in the shortest possible time."

"Oh? You care so much about this? Is there any special reason behind this?"

"I don't know about this either. Perhaps it's because Ms. Sofia has a strong sense of responsibility."

Although he said this, Carl had completely different thoughts in his mind.

In his opinion, Sophia's crazy expansion of her team was probably a disguised way of expanding her sphere of influence.

That woman, as the Harmony Academy fell into chaos, finally showed her fangs. Although she was still "neutral" now, she might get involved in their dispute later.

Even that woman had the desire to become the chairman.

But this expansion may eventually come at a cost, for example, if they fail to resolve the issue...

Thinking of this, Karl shook his head secretly again.

But if you think about it carefully, what does this have to do with him, a social animal with a fixed salary? To put it bluntly, it's just the struggle of the above group of people.

No one would risk their life for a few thousand dollars.

So Karl smiled again: “You are so curious about Sophia, could it be that you have taken a fancy to her?”

"Let me make it clear in advance that even if you are the chairman of Shenghua, it is not that easy to pursue her."

"That woman is famous for being 'cold', just like the environment here."

Perhaps in an attempt to liven up the atmosphere, Carl told a completely unfunny joke.

“Mr. Karl, are you awake? How could I have such an idea?

"In fact, I am only slightly interested in this kind of event."

"That's right. I guess a powerful duelist like you who stands at the top of the duel world pyramid is not very interested in women."

Although this sentence sounds a bit strange, even sarcastic, but there is nothing wrong with Karl's words in this world, and it can even be regarded as a compliment in many cases.

In the eyes of the world, if a duelist can abandon his own desires and emotions and devote everything to the duel, then this duelist must be a great and noble being.

As the saying goes, those who want to reach the top of the duel should not fall in love.

However, You Xian did not continue with the conversation. His attention was attracted by a man not far away.

Or to be more precise...his attention was drawn by an unconscious man.

Just like a social animal who had been playing 007 for a week, a middle-aged man in a suit fell in the snow.

Now, even You Xian felt a little bit at home.

What kind of thing is this? Is he a jinx? How come he encounters this kind of thing twice just by walking around outside?

Or is it that the security of Synchronic Academy is even worse than that of Hyperscale Academy? Then can we fast-forward to the cultist invasion? How about letting me start the boss fight directly?

After standing there in silence for a few seconds, You Xian finally couldn't help but speak: "Your school...security work needs to be strengthened."

"You, what you said makes sense."

"I will definitely report this matter!"

Carl himself was completely stunned by this.

I don't quite understand whether this is the Synchronicity Academy or a mass grave. Why do people keep dying every now and then?

What will happen if this continues? I'm afraid that one day he will die in this place for no apparent reason.

They are too rampant! These bastards are too rampant! They are no longer ordinary thugs, they must be dealt with hard!

The two quickly approached the man who had fallen to the ground. They first checked his breathing and heartbeat. After confirming that the man was still alive, You Xian first asked the unlucky Carl to call for help while he continued to check the man's injuries.

Unlike the person who died suddenly in a car accident, this guy in formal attire was obviously a faculty member of the college.

However, this time You Xian felt something was a little different, because he did not feel the same elven power from the man lying on the ground as he did from the guy who had overturned the car before. It seemed that this man had simply fainted, so his life was not taken away.

However, what concerned You Xian the most was the necklace and the silver pendant hanging on the necklace that were exposed from inside the man's clothes when he fell to the ground.

Simple wings that are half black and half white, with small balls like appendages on both sides of the wings.

If an ordinary person saw it, it would not seem like something new, but You Xian, who had been in close contact with Sophia for a period of time, clearly recognized that it was the logo of the Nameless Conference.

So this is someone from the Nameless Conference? But why is he down here?

Since the person who can carry this kind of symbol on his body is most likely a high-level member of the Nameless Conference, it is impossible for such a person to faint because of the inexplicable residual elf power, right?

No, this guy seems to have lost in a dark duel?

You Xian recalled the opponents who had lost to him in the dark duel, and then looked at the man lying on the ground. The more he looked, the more similar they felt.

But why would someone engage in a serious dark duel with the people from the Nameless Conference in the Synchrony Academy?

Feeling a little concerned, You Xian took advantage of Carl's inattention to touch the man's body.

It would be great if you can find something interesting, but if not, it doesn’t matter, you’ll get it for free anyway.

As a result, You Xian just searched casually... and actually found a small note, and the note contained some things that could attract You Xian's attention.

However, the handwriting on the note was a bit sloppy, and it was obvious that it was written under very urgent circumstances.

"Lady Sophia, the 'revenge' plan is going very smoothly! We have found traces of those guys."

"You can gather your men and attack the Dark Duelists at any time."

"After investigation, the name of their organization is probably called 'The Shining Assembly', but their specific purpose has not yet been discovered."

"But as you said, there are indeed people in this Dark Duelist organization who have the power to manipulate shadows and death."

"So they are most likely the ones you need revenge on."

"In addition, we can also confirm that they are most likely looking for something in the academy, and they seem to have mentioned a seal or something like that."

Although there are not many words on the note, it contains a lot of information.

First of all, what is the 'revenge' plan? Who is the revenge against? The Dark Duelists?

Just...shadow and death plus some revenge...

Damn, isn't this a bit weird? Could it be that Sophia misunderstood something? Someone was inexplicably blamed.

And according to what was written on the note, the Dark Duelists were still looking for something, and even mentioned a seal. Could it be that they were looking for the seal of the dragon?

And the name... The Shining? If it wasn't the Shining from the horror movie, the only Shining that Youxian could think of was a satellite Shining.

Could it be that the mastermind behind this Shining Gathering is using the Thunder Spirit deck? If so, that guy will be difficult to deal with. The most important thing is whether the opponent has a Pancake Frog Axis or a Destruction Sword Axis.

However, even if it is a Pancake Frog Axis, if there are three wolves, it will be much better than the Pearl Tears when OCG was first released.

Is it possible to fleece that organization?

Anyway, he found nothing after his investigation, and now this group of people are very likely looking for the location of the seal.

No, if the recent abnormal deaths in the Synchrony Academy were linked to them, perhaps this group of people was quickly searching for the location of the seal in a way that he could not know.

The price paid is those unlucky guys who died in "accidents".

The Dark Duelists' methods are always strange, so it doesn't seem unreasonable to use a sacrificial approach to find the way.

Tsk, then why not just fleece these people as much as possible.

There's no point in talking about chivalry with these dark duelists!

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

The dim and soft light gently sprinkles on the elegant decoration, shrouding the entire space in a layer of silence. Dark wooden bookshelves hang on the walls, filled with old and exquisite books and delicate decorations. On the desk stands a brand new typewriter and a pile of neatly arranged documents, revealing the accumulation of years and culture.

At this moment, accompanied by a crisp sound of the door opening, a girl wearing a scarf slowly pushed open the office door. Then, a well-proportioned calf stretched in from the outside.

While You Xian was still thinking about the unexpected note, Sophia had already returned to her office.

She took off her coat, which was already covered with a little snow, and sat back in her seat.

"call--"

After letting out a long breath, Sophia picked up the hot tea on the table and took a sip.

Ever since she proposed the 'revenge' plan against the members of the Nameless Council, her orders have been running in an orderly manner.

Their Nameless Conference is different from the Five Guards of the Super Academy. Under Sophia's 'power', everyone works hard, and everyone has their own strengths and unique skills.

In addition, Sophia herself had some experience in fighting against the dark duelists hiding in the background at the Ultra Academy, so despite consuming a lot of energy, they still quickly obtained important information.

And just recently, she had just received the latest intelligence from one of her subordinates. They had confirmed a "gathering place" of the dark duelists, and there was a high probability that the guy who used the power of death and shadow existed in this gathering place.

For this reason, one of their cadres was caught by the dark duelists and engaged in a dark duel. The whereabouts of that person is still unknown.

The person who delivered the message to Sofia ran fast, otherwise he would have had to suffer the same fate.

So the next thing to do is to take action. The guy who caused Aleshat's death must be killed as soon as possible, so as to slightly calm the anger in Sophia's heart.

But now that a piece of trash has been discovered, the people in that gathering place will most likely leave quickly, or even set a trap and wait for Sophia to fall into it.

So Sophia decided to send another member to conduct a secondary investigation. If the gang still existed, they would launch a formal attack. If they had already moved, they would search for the existing clues and the clues left in the gathering place.

Those dark duelists who wanted to transfer urgently would certainly not be able to arrange everything too thoroughly, so the possibility of them finding clues in that place was quite high.

Chapter 132: The Duel Begins, the Second Saint's Episode

While Sophia was still considering assembling the troops, You Xian was already ready to set off.

It didn't take him much effort to get Carl away from him, and he only asked for Carl's contact information before leaving.

Of course, this was just a pretense, because after getting the contact information, You Xian immediately blocked Carl.

It is highly likely that You Xian will not try to contact this person again.

At least so far, in You Xian's mind, the Kate family has lost the need for cooperation.

In order to deal with internal enemies, they even considered colluding with You Xian, a dangerous outsider, and hoped to use You Xian's power to provoke a conflict with Byron Kingworth.

In You Xian's opinion, this in itself was extremely absurd.

They were obviously completely unable to judge their own strength correctly, and had not even thought about what chain reaction would be triggered if You Xian suddenly made peace with Byron Kinworth.

If he really wanted Youxian to cooperate, he might as well change his identity and go to Sophia. He had been with Sophia before, so he had some experience this second time.

Of course, cooperation is only the last resort. If possible, You Xian hopes to solve these problems on his own, so that he will cause less trouble.

"Let me see, it seems to be here."

Holding his briefcase in his hand, You Xian moved quickly in the dead silent suburbs. His destination was exactly the location written on the note.

Although the name "The Shining Gathering" gave You Xian a bad feeling, this was indeed his best opportunity to strike at the moment.

All duel academies, even the smallest ritual academy, are the size of a small city. Finding a seal within such a large area is definitely not easier than drawing an Iai card by drawing an Iai card.

Although the dragon's seal will remain for a certain period of time for him to prepare, if he really wants to search through it inch by inch, even another month will not be enough.

And there was another thing that concerned Youxian. The note recorded the power of shadow and death... This description did not seem like the characteristics of the Thunder Spirit.

The most suitable person should be the Shadow Requiem used by Youxian, but Youxian couldn't be the one behind this, and Xiaomi has been following him these days, so he has no time and no reason to go to Synchro Academy to cause trouble.

The Shining Assembly is not in control of the Thunder Spirit? Or is the information that the man has obtained false? Or... the person behind this is in control of more than one kind of power?

In any case, everything will only become clear after investigation. Speculation alone cannot solve the problem.

However, when You Xian was almost reaching his destination, he suddenly stopped.

Come to think of it, why did he insist on using the identity of 'You Xian, Chairman of Shenghua' to confront those strange guys? If his identity was known to others, wouldn't he lose the advantage of information asymmetry?

Now everyone knows that the chairman of Shenghua uses the invincible grave-dumping mermaid, and the possibility of being targeted using his true identity is very high.

Besides, he had originally planned to find an opportunity to 'disappear' after entering the academy and live a second life with another identity.

Since I'm going to disappear sooner or later, why not disappear earlier? Yes, I'll just give myself a camouflage buff first.
