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

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Chairman, you have to be careful about the woman codenamed Bald Eagle. The attitude of the leader of the Emperor Penguins, Swimming with the Wind, towards her is obviously completely different from his attitude towards others."

"I doubt there's something wrong with her."

Chapter 187: You Xian's Trouble Begins

In Youxian's room, Youxian and Mr. Ostrich were still communicating. But compared to before, the atmosphere had eased a lot - at least Youxian had basically let go of his vigilance against the man in front of him.

But what replaced it was...a state of mind full of subtlety.

"You said you suspected there was something wrong with this bald eagle?"

It is difficult to describe You Xian's mood at this moment. It was probably as if the Demon King was suddenly stopped by a team of brave men while he was patrolling the perimeter. Then, instead of taking advantage of the absence of the Demon King's four heavenly kings to directly challenge the Demon King, this team of brave men inexplicably started some kind of female competition.

In order to pay for the devil's favor, the saint claimed that she would beat the hero's head to pieces, while the hero shouted that his team was full of traitors and he would carry out a major purge before joining the devil.

It was very subtle, I could only say it was very subtle, so subtle that You Xian wanted to applaud them.

If neither the ostrich nor the bald eagle lied, they should be considered natural "friendly forces" - at least their goals are indeed the same.

But now, they are doubting each other, thinking that there is something wrong with each other, and instead completely put their trust in You Xian, an "outsider"?

They felt that only You Xian, an "outsider", could help them defeat the leader of their organization.

"Yes, although I don't have any direct evidence, bald eagles are indeed different from all other people."

Mr. Ostrich, with a weathered face, lit a cigarette and began to talk about the past in a daze:

"Maybe she is no different from other people on the surface, but in fact, based on my observations, she always gets more benefits in some more obscure places, and those benefits are arranged by the emperor penguin himself."

"Maybe it's just a little extra reward distribution, or maybe it's just more rest time. Although the Suifeng Piaopiaoyou organization is well hidden, after many years, I finally discovered some clues."

"I believe that other cadres besides me will have noticed this to some extent. For example, the Toucan who chose to betray me once discussed this matter with me in private."

Having said that, he took another puff of the traditional cigarette in his hand, letting the milky white smoke he exhaled rise with the air and float to the dome lined with luxurious lighting.

You Xian frowned, and after thinking for a while, he decided not to kick him out of his room.

"So you're concluding that bald eagles and emperor penguins are more closely related?"

Under normal circumstances, if anyone was found smoking in his room, You Xian would definitely kick that person out immediately.

However, considering that this ostrich seems to be about to say something very interesting, let's ignore him for now.

In response to You Xian's question, the ostrich calmly shook its head:

"Of course, it's not just that. It would be too hasty to conclude that there is something wrong with the identity of this bald eagle just based on this."

"Maybe it's just that the bald eagle is the most attentive of all of us when it comes to her job, so the emperor penguin is giving her a little extra care."

"Although this explanation is still a bit abrupt, it does make sense."

"The first time I really suspected the identity of the bald eagle was when I was docking with the robin during an operation."

At this point, he probably realized that he had said something that might have been beyond Youxian's cognition, so he quickly explained to him:

"Besides the toucan who has already defected, there are only four cadre-level figures in Suifeng Piaopiaoyou: the emperor penguin, the bald eagle, the ostrich, and the robin I just mentioned."

"Although Suifeng Piaopiaoyou is a very loose organization, and even the cadres and members rarely come into contact with each other, it actually still has a work allocation system."

"Tell me."

You Xian picked up a cup of freshly brewed hot tea, looked at Mr. Ostrich with interest, and nodded.

Suifeng Piaopiaoyou is the Dark Duelist organization that he has been in contact with for the longest time. From the very beginning, he came into contact with the Toucan (Filkin) and was targeted by the Bald Eagle. After that, he continued to have contact with Suifeng Piaopiaoyou for various reasons.

However, during this process, You Xian never learned much about the internal situation of this organization. He only knew that it was probably a loose organization code-named after the Wind Traveling Bird card, and he didn't study more specifically.

"The emperor penguin is our leader, and I am responsible for some auxiliary or infiltration, spy work, etc. The bald eagle is responsible for more important tasks, and as for the robin..."

When he said this, the face of this vicissitudes of life middle-aged man finally showed a subtle change.

The original depression and repression seemed to completely disappear at this moment, and the man seemed to want to laugh a little, but with a little pity.

"He is responsible for all other tasks, especially after Toucan defected. He was even forced to take on Toucan's work as well. It can be said that 90% of the organization's chores are on his shoulders."

"So he is very, very busy on weekdays, and sometimes he can't come when we call him to practice online duels."

"?"

I have to admit that You Xian was also confused when he heard this.

What kind of worker is this? There is one person in a game company who is proficient in programming, copywriting, art, operations, and planning, and then all these tasks are piled on him, right?

Moreover, even at this point, this robin has not run yet. What a professional spirit.

Seeing that You Xian was indeed deeply shocked, Mr. Ostrich continued to tell the news about the poor robin:

"Anyway, I happened to be working with Robin on a project, and while I was negotiating with Robin, he asked me for a favor."

"That was the thing that convinced me that there was something wrong with the bald eagle."

"what?"

"Since the robin was only briefly mentioned, I don't know much about it."

"In short, it's like the robin is collecting data on the bald eagle. Not just data on its mission, but also data on who it comes into contact with, what it eats, and where it lives. All of these data need to be reported to the higher-ups in great detail."

"That is to say, until the bald eagle returns to its own residence, basically everything she does must be recorded."

Perhaps he finally noticed You Xian's dissatisfaction with him. Mr. Ostrich smiled at You Xian awkwardly and decisively put out the cigarette in his hand.

"According to Robin, this is one of the jobs he has to devote the most time to. In order to complete other tasks at the same time, he has to use his mobile phone or computer to complete other tasks remotely while monitoring. Fortunately, most of the tasks he has on hand are trivial matters that can be easily completed through the Internet."

"I showed up in Shenghua because Robin had too many things on his hands, so I helped him for the time being. And it just so happened that I also had some questions about this Bald Eagle, so I agreed to help him."

Although he said so, You Xian thought that the only reason was the latter.

No matter what, Mr. Ostrich has a grudge against the entire Suifeng Piaopiao Tour, so it's okay that he doesn't think about killing other people all day long, but there is no way he would take the initiative to help those people.

He took a sip of tea, looked at the man in front of him and asked:

"But this is more like surveillance, right? To say this is caring is a bit extreme, I think."

Or rather, it's a bit like a pervert. Although the content of the surveillance does not contain any male or female or sexual connotations, the act of surveillance alone is already very...

Perhaps the emperor penguin was one of the culprits that caused the destruction of the Ritual Academy? In order to prevent the bald eagle from the Ritual Academy from discovering his/her secret, he specially arranged people to monitor the bald eagle, just in case?

In this case, it does make sense logically.

Although I don't know what the emperor penguin wants to do by keeping a time bomb around, from his/her perspective he/she should be extremely wary of the bald eagle.

"No, it's not just that. In fact, the robin is only responsible for collecting information, but the emperor penguin does more than just record or monitor after receiving the information."

"According to my specific investigation, emperor penguins seem to use this collected information to intentionally or unintentionally interfere with the activities of bald eagles."

"It's like... paving the way for the bald eagle through various indirect or direct means, allowing her to always follow the planned route set by the emperor penguin, and making the bald eagle an ideal 'person' for the emperor penguin."

"It's just..."

"Just what?"

"It's like they're training her to be the leader of the next generation of free-flowing travellers, and they're interfering with her code of conduct in a rather extreme way."

"I don't know what the emperor penguin thinks the best work is, but he or she definitely has an answer in his or her head."

The man half collapsed on Youxian's soft chair, half-limply warning again with his eyelids half closed: "Bald eagles are very, very dangerous. It's better not to touch them unless necessary."

"I always feel that the woman has some unspeakable secrets buried deep in her heart. My intuition tells me that the secret buried deep in her heart must be very important, and perhaps it is closely related to me."

Indeed, how could it not be related? He was also from the Ritual Academy, and his rank at the time might even have been higher than yours.

The reason you didn't recognize it is probably because the bald eagle never uses its real name and you have never seen it offline, or because the bald eagle has changed a lot since it grew up.

I guess you will be the first to react when the bald eagle reveals its true name one day.

"Okay, I get it. I'll be careful with this guy."

"You should be careful too. It would be bad if she finds out that you came to see me today."

Feeling that the situation was becoming increasingly complicated, You Xian rubbed his head, his expression becoming increasingly subtle.

He was a little confused about this strange organization. From his point of view, it seemed that there were few normal people in this organization from top to bottom, and their operations were stranger than each other.

"I understand. I will be careful."

The man nodded slowly. As someone who had been lurking in the Dark Duelist organization for a long time, he was naturally very aware of the horror of the Dark Duelists. If he was really discovered by the bald eagle, he would definitely not end well.

"One more thing. Since you said before that you wanted me to help deal with the emperor penguin, that means you know where the emperor penguin is, right?"

"Or maybe you know that emperor penguins will appear in a certain place in the future. I am very interested in this person, but if I don't even know his whereabouts, I won't be able to start."

You Xian was indeed very interested in this person. After all, he only had a few subordinates, but a leader who could turn all the cadres except Robin into traitors was truly a rare species.

It would be a pity if we didn't go and "watch" these two people who possess such amazing wisdom.

Unlike the bald eagle, the ostrich gave a straightforward answer to You Xian's question about the mission:

"The Ritual Academy, or rather the ruins of the Ritual Academy."

"He is currently hiding in a corner of the Ritual Academy. It is said that he wants to be promoted to the chairman of the Ritual Academy through the chairman succession ceremony."

"Although I don't quite understand why this guy would want to become the chairman of a destroyed Duel Academy, he did plan to do so."

"In order to achieve his goal, he even transferred the robin back, apparently intending to let the robin help him there."

“Maybe the robins could use a little respite during this time, too.”

"..."

It's the Ritual Academy again. That place is almost becoming a powder keg. Is everyone really going to squeeze in?

Is that place really that attractive? Or is the location of the Genesis Device already known to everyone? But isn't this just some gossip that the Shining Assembly got privately?

"Okay, then I have one last question. You said your goal is to take Cong Shenghua away, so you must have the contact information of the person who will do the handover, right? Who exactly wants to do something to me?"

"The Shining Gathering, or rather, a certain existence hidden in the Shining Gathering. We don't know what it is, but we know that it is a creature with tyrannical power."

"As for the contact information of the person who will be handing you over... the mission only requires you to lose your ability to resist and then take you to the Ritual Academy."

"As long as we take you to the Ritual Academy, our mission will be completed. As for what happens after that, it has nothing to do with us."

"The Ritual Academy. Why is it called the Ritual Academy from now on? Do you know what's going on over there? Why are all of them running there?"

Youxian was really a bit confused, and this was going to be a big fight. Apart from other things, Youxian knew about the Shining Assembly, Shenghua, the bald eagle, the opposing Suifeng Piaopiaoyou and the ostrich, and Mr. Shule, the "murderer" who did not belong to any party.

Moreover, we cannot rule out the existence of other hidden forces, and we cannot be sure whether some more bizarre forces will intervene in the middle.

Not only that, a lot of people have inexplicably set their sights on the position of chairman of the Ritual Academy.

If you include The Shining Assembly and Youxian himself, there are three here alone.

It's hard to say what's going on with Bald Eagle, but as the 'successor' of the legitimate chairman of the Academy of Ritual, there should be no reason for her to give up the position of chairman of the Academy of Ritual.

And Mr. Ostrich, although he seems to have no interest in the position of chairman now, one day in the future he might suddenly feel that "it is our duty to revive the Academy of Ceremony" and join the competition for the position of chairman.

It seems that the position of chairman of the Ritual Academy has inexplicably become popular during this period of time.

"I'm not sure either. I've only been paying attention to the movements of the emperor penguins recently. As for the situation at the Ritual Academy, I have no idea."

"call--"

After basically understanding what he wanted to know, You Xian breathed a long sigh of relief. Although everything was over, he inexplicably felt that his body was hollowed out.

Logically speaking, he isn't a troublemaker, but wherever he goes, something bad happens. It was like this when he went to the Hyperscale Academy and the Synchro Academy, and it was the same this time when he wanted to go to the old site of the Ritual Academy.

What's more, what they encounter are not situations from the mortal world, and each time is more dangerous than the last.

But let’s not talk about the future. At least this time You Xian had to go again. It could be seen from the last time he imprinted the Fenrir wolf that his Kusha Nuwei tribe would consume a lot of energy when imprinting the card.

If one wants to print out a complete set of the Kusaka Nurarihyon, the figure would probably be an astronomical figure.

The energy of the duelists of the Super Academy had just been emptied once. Relying on that little duelist energy was not enough for Youxian to print out all the members of the Kusha Nuwei Clan.

But You Xian had to pursue the power of the Kusha Nuwei tribe... Not to mention anything else, the Red Mermaid alone is enough to greatly improve the flexibility of the Pearl Tears Sorrow tribe. It can not only serve as a bridge between the Kusha Nuwei tribe and the Pearl Tears Sorrow tribe, but also as a powerful single card that can be special recruited and stacked to three under almost no conditions.

In addition, the quality of the Kusha Rage itself is enough to make it a top-level pie-chart strength deck. The joy of sealing the grid after eliminating the inside side will never be forgotten once you have experienced it.

As for the terrifying lower levels of the First Saint and Kusha with a high lower limit, they were even more astonishing. Except for the ogres, the fear minions, the Kusha and the angry clans, each of the others was a real heavyweight.

Therefore, after knowing that the Ritual Academy has a large amount of Duelist Energy stored, You Xian will naturally try his best to get it.

And you can't go too late. If you go too late, I'm afraid the chairman may have already succeeded to the position.

We must take action as soon as possible, even if it means taking some risks.

"So... Lord Youxian, have you decided to make a deal with me?"
