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

Then, he wanted to stand up and hold the hand of the person in front of him, but because he had been tied to the ground for a long time, he had no strength at all, so he fell to the ground again.

You Xian did not try to reach out and help the student up. He just stood in front of him and sighed:

"Rest a little, poor child; it is all over now."

"Someone should be here soon, and they'll take you to the hospital."

"After you have recovered in the hospital, I think you will be able to return to your peaceful life."

Since he has to act, he naturally has to act the whole set, so even now he is still trying his best to maintain his own personality.

The student who had just escaped from the predicament was very impressed by You Xian's tricks. After hearing what You Xian said, he immediately replied:

"Yes, Professor, all this is thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I really can't imagine how I would be treated in the end."

"It's nothing, it protects the jobs of students and professors."

After saying this, You Xian quickly came to the small note written by the one-eyed man. He did not read the words directly on it but put the note into his pocket first.

"By the way, there's one more thing."

You Xian said as he looked at the student who was still slumped on the ground again: "I suspect there is a traitor lurking in the academy, which is why you were attacked and captured in this place."

"But I'm not sure about the identity of the traitors. They might be students, teachers, or even the top brass of the academy."

"So I want you to promise me something."

As soon as You Xian finished speaking, the student in the corner immediately responded, "You go ahead."

"The note I just put away is very likely to contain important secrets of these insiders. I will bring it to someone who is truly trustworthy, so when someone asks similar questions later..."

"I said I didn't know and I've never seen it!"

"Right, that is it."

After this experience, the student really regarded You Xian as the "incarnation of justice". Now that the incarnation of justice has spoken, there is no possibility for him to refute.

Not only that, he seemed to regard this as a 'righteous cause', so his tone when responding was full of genuine pride.

At this moment, You Xian suddenly heard a noisy sound coming from not far away, and it sounded like a large group of people were approaching this place quickly.

The student also heard the sound. He looked at You Xian with some anticipation and nervousness - he was the only person he could rely on at the moment.

You Xian did not act rashly. He came to the front door of the house and planned to determine the identity of the visitor first.

It would be best if the person coming was from the Synchrony Academy, but if the person coming was an accomplice of the guy who committed suicide, You Xian would definitely turn around and run away, and at most give a warning to the poor unfortunate child inside.

Just kidding, with the number of people he roughly estimated, even if they can't beat him, they can still wear him down. What's more, the president of the Shining Assembly is likely to be a thunder spirit, and if you are not careful, you will be in trouble.

Fortunately, those dark duelists were not so rampant after all. A group of faculty and staff were approaching Youxian quickly from a distance.

It is worth mentioning that the uniforms worn by this group of people are exactly the same as the ones worn by the investigator that You Xian had seen before.

Therefore, their identities are obvious.

But...what made You Xian more concerned was another thing. The one leading these investigators was actually their immediate superior.

That is the woman that You Xian doesn't want to see at all but meets again - Sophia.

More importantly, judging from Sophia's actions and her gaze, she had obviously discovered You Xian.

"..."

Nirvana!

It has to be said that in that instant, You Xian felt a little bit of the same emotion as the man who had just committed suicide.

At this moment, You Xian really wanted to curse.

I tried my best to avoid her, so why did I still run into this woman in the end?

Didn't the guy who delivered the message faint on the way? It would take him at least a day to get rid of the control of the Dark Duel, so how could he find this place by now?

It's fine if they found it, but Sophia even led the team herself...

Is this some weird curse? Or has Sophia actually discovered the 'truth' and is just teasing him?

But this is impossible. Logically speaking, Sophia has no chance and no clues to reveal the mask on herself.

Living in Bengbu, You Xian does have some feelings for living in Bengbu.

But he knew very well that no matter how mad he was, he had to control his emotions, because once he showed anything wrong, Sophia would most likely notice something and then arouse more suspicion.

In that case, You Xian's disguise would have failed by half.

One of the main reasons why he deliberately escaped was to get rid of Sophia's prying eyes.

I must not let Sophia target me with this identity again!

Unfortunately, there were some problems with his plan this time...

Because just as he was about to greet the arriving investigators with a smile, Sophia appeared in front of him one step ahead.

At this moment, Sophia, who always had a cold face, actually smiled a little, which was rare for her. However, this smile only made You Xian, who was sitting opposite her, feel an extremely terrifying coldness.

After a few seconds of silence, Sophia finally spoke when Youxian was already feeling extremely anxious:

"Come to my office, I have a lot to tell you."

"You won't reject me, right? 'A big man whose identity is hard to guess'?"

"..."

"Okay, I understand. I will do as you ask."

Without any hesitation, You Xian forced a smile and immediately accepted Sophia's "invitation".

But he just couldn't understand how he could be exposed right after he put on his vest, and he hadn't even said a word yet.

Is it surveillance? But that's impossible... You Xian had been deliberately avoiding the surveillance area when he went to this place.

At this time, the investigator who entered the house first walked out again. He spoke loudly to Sophia who was sitting opposite You Xian:

"Report, a body and a student who was just rescued were found inside. The identity of the body is suspected to be a member of the Shining Assembly."

"Well, follow the rules and give me a report later. I have other things to deal with here."

"Yes!"

After finishing the work, Sophia, who had stopped smiling at some point, looked towards You Xian again:

"Come on, it's time for us to talk."

Chapter 136: Contact with Sophia and the Thunder

click-

With a crisp sound of unlocking, a place with a decoration style completely different from Youxian's office appeared before his eyes.

Sunlight poured into the room through the French windows, shrouding everything in warm light. The thick dark carpet covered the floor, and walking on it made no sound, just like walking on soft clouds.

The walls of the office are decorated with exquisite murals and traditional oil paintings, and the neatly arranged bookshelves are filled with a wide variety of books. A quick glance reveals that most of them are materials related to duels, including some extremely rare classics in the outside world.

There was a large solid wood desk in the room, with stationery and documents neatly arranged on it. Judging from the location, it was basically certain that it was the desk that Sophia often used.

This was Youxian's first official "visit" to Sophia's territory. However... according to his own wishes, he did not want to come here at all.

But since he has been caught, there is naturally nothing to say. If he chooses to escape, it will only make the situation even uglier in the end.

With Sophia's influence in the Synchronic Academy, she could easily let everyone know that the real body of 'Aleister' is You Xian, the chairman of Shenghua.

Yes, when Sophia specifically mentioned the "difficult-to-guess big shot", You Xian was basically certain that the other party had indeed seen through his most superficial vest.

Once Youxian's vest is "broadcasted throughout the map", Youxian's invasion will be considered a complete failure, and the situation will eventually return to a state where his every move will be watched by others.

Or maybe the Synchrony Academy directly thought he was up to something and a head-on conflict broke out.

Neither of these two developments is what You Xian wants to see.

Although he was caught red-handed by Sophia, if he could convince her, at least You Xian's plan could continue to go smoothly.

Well, as long as I can fool Sophia!

But now there is a more important question, which is how much does Sophia know?

Does he only know that the identity of Aleister that he is using now is equal to Youxian, or does he know that Aleister is equal to Youxian, equal to Aleshat, and even equal to Tiera?

It would be better if he only knew the surface, but if Aleshat and Tiera were also exposed, Youxian would really want to die.

Knowing the existence of Tiera would shatter the entire World Destruction Church's vest into pieces, but knowing Aleshat...

It is hard to imagine what a woman in a state of madness would do.

I can only say, who would have thought that Sophia would care so much about someone she had only been in contact with for less than two weeks!

"This is a very safe place. No one will be snooping or eavesdropping here."

Sophia said as she closed the door of her office and locked it with a click.

Then she turned her body around again and scanned Youxian from head to toe as if she was examining him.

After confirming that there was nothing missing, the girl, who still had a cold face, spoke:

"So you can take off your disguise, right? Mr. Youxian, the chairman of Shenghua."

"I don't quite understand what you are talking about. What do you want from me, Lady Sophia?"

You Xian blinked and asked back with a puzzled look on his face.

"Is there any need to cover up the truth at this point? This isn't the first time you and I have met, is it?"

"You've seen me at the Institute of Super Quantity, right?"

Sophia sat back in her armchair and asked softly.

It must be admitted that for a moment, You Xian felt scared.

Obviously, the woman in front of him could not threaten him normally, let alone defeat him in a dark duel, but You Xian truly felt a genuine fear.

Come to think of it, this was the first time he had felt such emotions since he came into this world.

No matter how powerful the opponent is, You Xian will never feel afraid. But this time is different, this woman... she has too many buffs stacked on her.

Turning on the automatic kettle beside her, Sophia continued to speak calmly:

"It's useless for me to hide it. In fact, when I met you in the academy before, I noticed that there was something wrong with the way you looked at me."

"Maybe it's because I showed up too suddenly, so you didn't have time to cover up."

"That's why you chose to run away and even started to disguise your identity. Because this might expose the fact that Youxian knew Sophia."

"Am I right?"

There was no complacency or temptation. Sophia seemed to be saying something that was a matter of course, and her tone was terrifyingly calm, as if she didn't care at all about the exposure of her vest at the Super Academy.

"..."

After a few seconds of silence, You Xian finally spoke again, but this time his voice returned to his original tone.

"You are right. I came to the Synchronicity Academy this time to deal with important matters, so I don't want anything to go wrong because of some weird things."

"This includes you, Labilins, or Miss Sophia."

Now Youxian finally understood. It seemed that Sophia felt that "the chairman of Shenghua saw through her disguise when she was in the Super Academy", so she said that she had met Youxian before.

Therefore, You Xian felt that he should just continue following Sophia's train of thought. After all, this was indeed the truth, but it was only part of the truth.

During the last period of the trip to the Super Academy, You Xian did indeed contact Sophia, who was disguised as Labrinth, with his true identity.

At that time, Sophia also discussed with You Xian the topic that "resurrection of the dead" was a taboo.

However, these don’t matter to You Xian at the moment. As long as the identities of Aleshat and Tiera are not exposed, everything will be fine.

So after he finished answering, he looked at Sophia and immediately asked back:

"But I'm still very curious about how you figured out my identity. Could it be that just a glance made you so sure that I've met you before? Isn't that too arbitrary?"

"And even if you figured out that Youxian had seen you before, why were you able to discover my identity as Aleister?"

In fact, this is indeed a problem that You Xian is particularly concerned about. If these problems are not solved, You Xian will not dare to use a vest casually in the future, for fear that he will be exposed if he uses one.

Could it be that this world still has the ability to see the essence through disguise? But this is impossible. The only similar power is Youxian's unique ability to observe the power of spirits.

He also has such power because of the mermaid girls on his body and Xiaomi, who has recently become his shadow.

But how many people in this world are treated the same as him? I'm afraid few can do it, right?
