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

"Very good, Mr. Shule. Congratulations on making the right choice and opening up a glimmer of hope for survival in the future."

Chapter 153: Betrayer, Deceiver, and Worshiper

Silence enveloped this luxurious and spacious office, with only a faint light still flickering. The city outside the window had long since fallen asleep, and only in this office seemed another life to be unfolding.

The dim light sprinkled on the smooth wooden floor, casting mottled shadows, like a faint moonlight in the middle of the night. The neatly arranged bookshelves were filled with exquisite books and decorations, which were like sleeping witnesses in the dark night, quietly waiting for the first dawn.

Through the thin curtains, the wide windows looked out at the scenery inside the academy. The night sky was dotted with stars, and faint lights flickered in the distance, like galaxies in the distant universe.

Perhaps because of tiredness, or perhaps for some other reason, the Narcissus mermaid was now sleeping on a bed in the corner of the room, while You Xian was still doing his work after a short rest.

Taking over the Nameless Conference is not just about taking over its power. Sitting in this position is also bound to face many troubles.

This even reminded You Xian of the days when he was a corporate slave in Shenghua. Although there were not as many things going on in the Wuming Conference as in Shenghua, there were definitely not fewer.

Of course, more of it is dealing with the clues found by the investigators. In order to find the location of the seal, You Xian had to constantly sift through a lot of confusion and wrong possibilities to find the only possibility.

However, this "dedicated" performance inexplicably increased You Xian's recognition in the Wuming Conference, and the number of people who had opinions about him gradually decreased.

If nothing else, at least this is a qualified meal replacement for Sophia.jpg

"It's time to get started."

After confirming the time, You Xian put down the pen in his hand and looked at the investigator not far away.

He had learned from Shule the locations of all the kidnapped students, so his next task was to rescue those students.

Before finding the true location of the dragon's seal, You Xian can only delay the progress of the people in the Shining Gathering as much as possible. As long as he can stop the ritual of the Shining Gathering, he will have more time to operate.

This time their target location was a secret warehouse of the Kyle family. According to Shul, there were at least fifty sacrifices hidden there.

This is not a small number. Even though the number of students in the Duel Academy is in the seven figures, the disappearance of fifty people will still cause a huge disturbance.

What's more, there are definitely more than 666 people missing. According to the information You Xian had obtained from the one-eyed man who committed suicide, they have collected/sacrificed about half of the sacrifices, which means at least more than people.

The disappearance/death of 300 people would have been known to everyone on the same day if it happened in Youxian's previous world. But now the students seemed to know nothing about it. They only knew that the so-called "accidental death" incident still threatened them.

This can only mean one thing, someone has suppressed all of this. No, it's probably not enough for just one person to do this.

This is also the reason why You Xian has always been reluctant to contact the Synchro Academy. Everything here is too complicated, and it is even difficult to tell where the enemy is hiding.

In addition to the location of the missing person, Shule also told You Xian everything he knew.

This includes the situation of the Ritual Academy and his own guesses. After Youxian solves the problem of the dragon, he will be able to prepare to go to that place to look for the creation device and the duelist energy hidden in it.

In addition, Youxian also learned more about Shadowy from him. According to that person, Shadowy seemed to come from a very long time ago and was related to some mysterious power in ancient times.

It is very likely that there is something else hidden behind Yingyi, and Yingyi may even be the key to unlock that thing. Unfortunately, he doesn't know much about these things, so Youxian has to rely on himself to slowly discover them.

As for the Shining Assembly itself, Shul, like the mad scientist whom Youxian had tortured, did not know much. In order to prevent Shul from exposing his lies, Youxian was relatively restrained in his probing and only roughly asked him for some information that seemed very confidential.

However, it must be said that this person's attitude immediately changed after hearing the word "dragon".

He wished he could tell You Xian everything he knew and make sure You Xian stopped others from getting the sealed dragons.

You Xian didn't know whether this guy was sincere or not. Anyway, to be on the safe side, You Xian carefully attached the power of Shadow to him to monitor him. If this guy really betrayed him, You Xian would just kill him and be done with it.

Youxian is just trying to explore Shule's value, but if Shule has no value at all, then there is no need for Youxian to keep him.

Anyway, Iris probably wouldn't mind whether the person You Xian threw to her was a living person or a dead person.

As for him telling others his secrets...

It's so funny. Apart from the fact that he had a brand and was the chairman of Shenghua, none of the information You Xian conveyed to him was true. Even if he exposed You Xian, he was just exposing a lot of false information.

After Shul finally gets the information that Youxian wants, Youxian can retrieve it and then give it to Iris as a bargaining chip to use the creation device.

As for how Iris will deal with Shule in the end, what does that have to do with Youxian?

However, Renohart was quite regretful about Shule's final decision. He seemed to want to experiment with the ultimate insult process as Youxian said.

Thinking of this, You Xian felt a pain near his temple again.

What kind of person is Youxian? Why is there such a perverted gay card Pokémon in his deck?

At this moment, the investigator who re-entered the room bowed respectfully to him:

"Lord Aleister, we have gathered our men and are ready to set off at any time."

"Very well, let's go."

Feeling a little tired, You Xian rubbed his eyes, picked up his cup again, took a sip of the liquid in it, and finally moistened his throat.

However, at this moment, another man in the uniform of the investigation team suddenly broke into the door of Youxian's office. He knocked on the door of Youxian's office hurriedly, and spoke in a panic and a bit strangely:

"Master Aleister, something happened! The investigation team was suddenly surrounded by a group of students. They said they wanted to see you and Master Sophia."

"What's going on? Are you here to cause trouble?"

You Xian put down the teacup in his hand and looked at the investigator who suddenly appeared at the door with a frown.

Could it be that those students were instigated by the dark duelists and came to pick on them? That was really unfair.

It is true that the Nameless Conference is an organization of dark duelists, but they are here to do good things this time and are the "partners of justice."

Instead, it was the people from the big families who were the real black sheep. They colluded with the Shining Assembly just to satisfy their dragon cancer hobbies, and they didn't care about the lives of the students at all.

However, the development of things was completely opposite to what You Xian said.

The investigator shook his head repeatedly and replied hastily:

"They said they would assist us in investigating the unnatural and accidental deaths, or directly join the investigation team."

"They also claimed to have found clues and asked us to immediately eliminate the people in Byron Kinworth."

"According to what the students said, there is a high possibility that there are dark duelists hidden among the people of Byron Kingworth, and they are most likely related to the unnatural accidental deaths."

"???"

"what?"

You Xian, who had never expected this to happen, was stunned for a moment, with only the hand holding the teacup still trembling slightly.

=================Dividing Line=================

In fact, Yuxian and Sophia are not the only ones who have been paying attention to the movements of the Dark Duelists and the Shining Gathering.

The problem of the Shining Assembly concerns almost the entire Academy of Harmony. From the chairman to Sophia, from Byron Kinworth to the Kate family, everyone is closely related to it.

It's just that some people are happy to see the existence of The Shining Gathering, while some people don't care about its existence at all. They judge the significance of The Shining Gathering's existence based on their own interests and positions, but completely ignore the largest group in the college - the students.

The students of the Synchronicity Academy also care about this matter very much because it is directly related to their safety.

No one could ignore the strange phenomenon of random killings within a range, and the people killed were all ordinary students, which perfectly fits the conspiracy theories of some people.

They have lost their sense of security in the Synchrony Academy. After all, this is a place where even their lives cannot be guaranteed.

In fact, if this situation continues, there is a high probability that those students will organize riots.

Either they escape from the Synchronic Academy by force, or they launch an attack on the academy's leadership. Anyway, since their lives cannot be guaranteed, why should they obey the academy's orders?

This is a very simple truth. People always have their own survival instinct.

It was at this time that the investigation team and its leader Sophia appeared, and they immediately began to investigate the matter vigorously as soon as they appeared.

Unfortunately, during the initial period, they made almost no progress, so the investigation team was once regarded by the students of the Synchronization Academy as a show and a drama, and a tool for the academy to deal with them.

However, what happened next slapped them in the face, and slapped them hard in the face.

Aleister from the investigation team first faced the Dark Duelist and rescued a student from the Dark Duelist. Then, in order to fight against the Dark Duelist, he stood up and confronted the second-ranked force in the academy head-on, leaving behind a "touching" conversation.

At this point, everyone can be sure that the accidental deaths were most likely caused by the Dark Duelist.

In the end, the leader of the investigation team, Ms. Sophia, fell in the confrontation with the dark duelist, leaving only Mr. Aleister still struggling to hold on, and continued to launch suicidal attacks on the Kyle family and even the Byron Kingworth family.

People are made of flesh and blood, and the students of the Synchronicity Academy are not heartless people.

Don't they know why the investigation team, Mr. Aleister, and Miss Sophia are fighting so hard? It's for them and the entire Duel Academy.

If they only wanted to maintain their own interests, they would never initiate a head-on conflict with the Kyle family or the Byron Kingworth family, because this would be completely unprofitable and even suicidal for them.

But they still did it, without hesitation, without considering what kind of exclusion and suppression they would face in the future. So what was it for? Was it for that little bit of superficial power?

There is no doubt that the people in the investigation team are all true heroes, completely different from the two families in the academy who only seek profit for themselves.

Just as they themselves said, they were the true 'messengers of justice', and all the students of Synchronicity Academy saw it all.

Therefore, how could they watch the investigation team that swore to protect them to the death fall into trouble or even into the abyss?

Now that Sophia has gone silent, only their Mr. Aleister is left fighting alone.

Then, let them become a member of the investigation team. Since the investigation team itself represents justice, then those who are against them are the real evil and darkness.

So, let them become the swords in the hands of the righteous! Clean up the entire Synchronicity Academy and let the high and mighty people know what the power of justice is. No matter how big the power gap between the two sides is, when they have enough numbers to kill their opponents, they are fearless.

If necessary, then just pull down the high and mighty chairman. Since he has not fulfilled his duties and mission and even colluded with the dark duelists to wantonly use students as sacrifices, there is no need for him to exist, and there is no reason for him to sit on everyone's head.

Driven by such belief and the instinct for survival, many students began to gather together under the guidance of the "follower of justice" saved by You Xian.

These students who feel the crisis are able to judge who they can truly trust.

So, in order to keep myself and the people I care about alive.

In order to prevent Synchro Academy from becoming a cradle for Dark Duelists to act recklessly, use the Flame Fist on Byron Kingworth!

On the quiet and spacious rooftop, a gentle breeze blows, bringing the coolness of the night. The high guardrail surrounds the edge of the rooftop, like a solid boundary, separating this space from the hustle and bustle of the city. The city lights in the distance twinkle like stars, forming a dreamlike picture.

However, this poetic scene was broken by the students gathered together.

Then, a figure emerged from the darkness in response to the students' calls.

And his identity is naturally You Xian.

He was still wearing Aleister's iconic robe, and holding the big blue-covered book in his hand.

The chairman of Shenghua glanced at the entire scene, then pressed his hands together, signaling the students of the Synchronization Academy to lower their voices.

"Everyone, please be quiet."

"We can discuss the matter of working with the investigation team later. Now I want to know where you got the clues about Byron Kingworth. Can you tell me?"

As if he was afraid that the students would not trust him, You Xian immediately added righteously:

"Please rest assured that no matter what I find out, I will definitely stick to my path, even if I find out that the culprit is a high-ranking person in the academy whom I cannot afford to offend."

“Even though I know that my only fate is death, I will still be glad for my choice after I die.”

"Justice will not be absent nor late. Someone must continue to move forward along this path, even if the end of this path is to give up everything."

Looking at the students of Synchro Academy who were looking very proud downstairs, Chairman Shenghua at the headquarters of the Dark Duelists Organization declared loudly.

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

In the dark night, a dark alley seems particularly quiet and mysterious. The faint moonlight shines through the gaps in the eaves onto the ground, outlining a faint light and shadow, as if nature has woven a delicate veil for this secret corner.

The dark alley was filled with a faint damp smell, as if it was filled with the moisture of the night. The breeze blew by, bringing a hint of coolness, making people unconsciously tighten their collars. The occasional distant footsteps sounded particularly clear in the silent night.

At this moment, a man wrapped in a black cloak was moving quickly in the alley like a ghost.

Finally, he stopped in front of a shabby-looking hut.

After noticing the red mark on the bolt, the sneaky man was visibly relieved - it seemed that there was indeed no time to move here.

In order to carry out this plan, The Shining Assembly has invested a large number of manpower in the Synchronicity Academy.

It is not an easy task to offer 666 sacrifices in the academy, even if the Shining Assembly has colluded with some bigwigs in the Synchrony Academy.

Therefore, small bases like the one in front of us are not uncommon in Synchro Academy. They are like the key nodes deployed by the Shining Assembly in Synchro Academy, covering the entire academy and forming a complex network.

Now this man is Shul. If he wants to provide Youxian with more information, he must re-enter the upper echelons of the Shining Gathering and enter the very center of this network.

To do this, he had to make use of these small bases, hoping to use them to contact the official president of the Shining Assembly.

After contacting the president, they have to make him believe that he has not betrayed them and knows nothing about the abandonment. Only in this way can they try to use him a second time and give him the same treatment as before.

It was a difficult task, but one that Shure felt he had to do.

As a man with nothing, perhaps the only thing he can do is shine brightly at the moment of successful revenge. He will bet his life to let the fools of the Shining Assembly see his will.

Moreover, those dragons...even if he allowed them to remain sealed, he would never want them to fall into the hands of those who persecuted him.

Thinking of this, the man couldn't wait to knock on the old wooden door several times in a rhythm of light and heavy knocks, and then he shrank near the door as if he was afraid of the cold wind of late autumn.

He didn't have to wait long. About a minute later, the wooden door creaked open.

Under the dim light, a young and pale face appeared behind the door.
