Chapter 580

After winning through an attack, Tiancheng Guang walked forward a few steps and picked up the card of the Torture Machine.

The card had the appearance of the Torture Machine remaining on it, and besides that, there was visible black energy, obviously strengthened by "Darkness," which is why it was so confident and satisfied.

Tiancheng Guang looked up at the surroundings. The cards of its kin were pulled by purple puppet strings and flew into Tiancheng Guang's hand. Tiancheng Guang held them and roughly estimated.

The total amount seems to be no less than the Chazz Princeton in the "Darkness" state he encountered for the first time...

Tiancheng Guang's expression was serious.

In just over a year, Darkness has given this kind of probing cannon fodder so much power.

Not only that, after Tiancheng Guang collected all the cards, he actually found an "Iron Raider" among them. Obviously, this card was the power truly provided by Darkness. Its single card power was more than all the other cards combined. It looks like it should be a card Darkness took out to provide to these spirits so they could travel through dimensions.

What Tiancheng Guang got from Darkness before was "Psychic End Punisher." That card was obviously manufactured in the direction of an artificial god, and its contained energy was quite vast.

And now in Tiancheng Guang's hands, these are just trivial small parts.

However, since they are in Tiancheng Guang's hands, they must be well utilized.

Just like how Tiancheng Guang could use Darkness's power to improve the completion of "El Shaddoll Midrash" back then, these things in Tiancheng Guang's hands can naturally try some cards Tiancheng Guang couldn't manufacture before.

In short, he also made a profit.

Tiancheng Guang put away the cards and turned back to continue walking toward the academy. Just then, he heard a rustling sound. Before long, a figure in a silver-white suit jumped down from the small forest nearby, then looked sideways and caught a glimpse of Tiancheng Guang.

"Department Head?"

He was slightly surprised in the air.

"Aster?" Tiancheng Guang also spoke in surprise.

Aster landed on the ground, landed on one knee, then slowly stood up, a standard hero entrance.

He shook the leaves off his clothes, casually slung his backpack behind his back, and looked at Tiancheng Guang.

Tiancheng Guang was just about to say hello when flames suddenly burned beside him, and a sturdy warrior said: "I understand, my lord, this must—"

"Wait a moment."

Seeing that Flame Swordsman was about to take action, Tiancheng Guang hurriedly stopped him.

Flame Swordsman looked blank, but hearing Tiancheng Guang's order, he apologized to Aster slightly, then slowly turned into sparks and dissipated.

Tiera's curiosity on the side was piqued.

Until now, she didn't know how Tiancheng Guang distinguished it in an instant just now. Clearly in her eyes, that "Aster Phoenix" just now and this "Aster Phoenix" in front of her were exactly the same.

"Hehehe, Department Head, it seems you also encountered it just now?" Aster saw the action of Flame Swordsman beside Tiancheng Guang, his head turned, and he immediately thought of the possibility.

"It looks like you encountered it too? What is the specific situation?"

Tiancheng Guang hurriedly asked him.

Aster smiled while walking forward and said.

He had just arrived at the Duel Academy island on his beloved surfing motorcycle. He originally wanted to dive for a while, but found that pitch-black dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky, and a transparent thin wall shrouded the Duel Academy island. At that time, he hurriedly packed his things and prepared to rush to the Duel Academy to see what exactly happened.

Just at that time, he met "Tiancheng Guang."

Whether from appearance, behavior, or habits, no matter how you look at it, it was Tiancheng Guang.

Originally, Aster didn't doubt it at all, because he had promised Tiancheng Guang before that he would come to school today, so it was not impossible for Tiancheng Guang to come and wait for him in advance. Honestly, he was quite excited at that time.

But soon, Aster noticed a few strange places.

First, that Tiancheng Guang did not take him to the Duel Academy school, but instead took him to a corner. When asked if the Duel Academy was in danger, the reason he gave sounded very much like a lie.

Second, although that Tiancheng Guang's clothing, behavior, and habits were almost exactly the same as Tiancheng Guang's, there was one thing that did not exist, and that was the card on Tiancheng Guang's chest—

Aster could never forget that card.

And although that "Tiancheng Guang" was wearing a card, it was not that card at all—this was what Dash told him.

It was also at that time that Aster made preparations.

After all, although he dared not confirm, what if someone could really imitate Tiancheng Guang so well?

Unexpectedly, it was just as he thought. When that "Tiancheng Guang" took him to a quiet corner, he suddenly attacked, stabbing directly at Aster. Fortunately, Aster was prepared, relying on the protection of Dash and Fear Monger, and was not hurt.

Then naturally, it was a duel.

After he dealt with the opponent, he felt that something incomprehensible to ordinary people was probably happening in the Duel Academy, so just in case, he walked in the woods and acted alone.

"Wise, worthy of you." Tiancheng Guang praised repeatedly.

Aster is calm, smart, and careful. In the original work, besides D and E, very few people could make him lose his mind in a short time. Even if this imitation was similar, the details were not real. Even if Aster hadn't seen "that card," he wouldn't necessarily be fooled.

In fact, Tiancheng Guang was like this before too.

Flame Swordsman saw Aster and thought it was also fake, instinctively wanting to help Tiancheng Guang take action, but in fact, it wasn't like that at all.

Although Tiancheng Guang judged the Torture Machine based on the details of the "name field," in fact, Tiancheng Guang had talked with the "Torture Machine" for a long time before this and carefully observed many details.

He was prepared to be backstabbed, so he observed very carefully, so even if it looked almost exactly the same as Aster, Tiancheng Guang still found some strange disharmony.

It was also in this situation that Tiancheng Guang took out the name problem to ask and see if there was any strange reaction.

Moreover, this was only one aspect of Tiancheng Guang's judgment.

Before, he called Flame Swordsman to attack the Torture Machine, using his own duel energy to provide "output." Even if Tiancheng Guang judged wrong, any spirit beside "Aster" could block Tiancheng Guang's output at that time.

But Flame Swordsman appeared actively without hesitation just now, using his power completely. If he took action, the real Aster might be injured if he wasn't prepared.

So these are things that cannot be absolutely guaranteed, and Tiancheng Guang cannot let such things happen.

Fortunately, Aster also encountered a similar situation, so he knew that Flame Swordsman was also protecting Tiancheng Guang, so he was not angry because of Flame Swordsman's actions.

But what followed was a more serious and intense exchange.

Even he, even Tiancheng Guang could be imitated, and even from appearance and behavior, one couldn't see anything strange. This incident is probably quite serious.

"How on earth was it done?" Aster frowned.

A group of spirits, not necessarily having seen him and Tiancheng Guang, how could they pretend to be so similar in front of them?

"I thought about it for a while just now." Tiancheng Guang put away his things, led the way for Aster, walked toward the academy building, and discussed with Aster while talking, "If you copy all our behaviors, habits, and appearances, even if it's possible, it's too troublesome."

Aster nodded.

"So, there might be a more convenient method."

"More convenient?"

"Psychological effect—"

"Ah—oh! I see."

Through simple human disguise and psychological suggestion, let the people encountered instinctively feel that there is almost no difference from the person in their impression. Unless there are particularly outrageous characteristics or features, it should be easy to disguise.

Moreover, this should also be the aspect that Darkness is best at and most proficient in.

Simple, convenient, and efficient. For those spirits with uneven levels, it is also a very convenient disguise.

It doesn't need to be very exquisite, as long as they come.

Tiancheng Guang took out a mirror and simply looked at himself. He could see that Tiancheng Guang and Aster were both normal in the mirror.

Tiancheng Guang really didn't expect that this "psychological observation mirror" could still be useful.

And the uses seem to be increasing.

"Who on earth did this kind of thing?" Aster still had many questions.

Tiancheng Guang thought for a while, took out the information he heard from Zone before, and explained it to Aster while sharing.

What the final fate of human extinction, what the final darkness, what "evil spirits born from the doomed ending," these things are too vague and too outrageous, but fortunately Aster's acceptance is strong enough. After accepting this information, he expressed understanding.

On the way to the academy building, the two met others on the road. Tiancheng Guang tested it with a mirror, and it was indeed a spirit. It can only be said that the gold content of this spiritual mirror is still rising.

Without accident, Tiancheng Guang is ready to improve and increase production, and get some "truth-seeing glasses."

Although Tiancheng Guang estimated that these spirits would soon take off their disguises and come directly to the hard way, it's better to use it for a day.

Don't know how many spirits have mixed into the academy island. Tiancheng Guang and Aster rushed to the academy building and hurriedly found the professor.

At this very moment, Professor Crowler was also busy and overwhelmed.

He tried to contact the outside world, but the entire academy island was blocked, and he couldn't contact people outside at all.

Having no choice, he hurriedly notified all teachers and professors to gather, but even at this point in time, the teachers and professors had not arrived yet. It seems that many professors even encountered trouble!

Seeing Tiancheng Guang and Aster, he first breathed a sigh of relief—after all, Tiancheng Guang didn't have any accidents, but immediately after, he let out a sharp, terrified scream.

How did Aster Phoenix come to school!

From the perspective of academy development, Aster coming to school, he, the acting principal, is naturally happy. After all, if this kind of star professional duelist comes to the academy to go to school, as long as their school operates properly, they can get very high acclaim, and there should be no need to worry about new students next semester.

But now, if Aster Phoenix has any accident in the academy, they can't hide the news no matter how they hide it.

But Tiancheng Guang felt that this was really a bit of worrying about nothing.

If even Aster couldn't hold on, then I'm afraid there wouldn't be many people left in the academy, and there's no need to worry—at least that's how it was in the original work; even Aster and Chazz fell, how many people could be left.

After this episode, Tiancheng Guang and Aster stayed in the teaching building for the time being. They watched a large group of teachers chattering and discussing this incident.

As teachers and professors of the Duel Academy, they have seen many strange events. With the information and details brought by Tiancheng Guang, they also quickly summarized some methods to protect the students.

"Dormitory heads of the Red Academy, Yellow Academy, and Girls' Academy," Professor Crowler called the teachers, "Next, you are responsible for leading the team. Act in groups of three, and be sure to confirm that all the children have arrived at their respective dormitories."

Professor Crowler took a deep breath: "As teachers of our sacred Duel Academy, we must lead by example, so this time, as the dormitory head of the Blue Academy, I will also go to find students."

The teachers responded.

"Vice-Principal Bonaparte, if I have an accident..." Turning back, Professor Crowler began to "deliver his last words."

"What are you talking about, Acting Principal Crowler." Vice-Principal Bonaparte wiped cold sweat with a handkerchief and said, "You are only the acting principal now, and the position of acting principal cannot be taken over by others."

"Then I am also the principal—"

Professor Crowler and Vice-Principal Bonaparte quarreled as usual, but this time, obviously Vice-Principal Bonaparte did not have too much hostility toward the professor as before.

Tiancheng Guang was a bit uneasy. He thought that in fact, the best choice should be for all teachers to act together, so that even if any crisis broke out, they could take care of each other, but...

The students of the Duel Academy are naturally quite jumpy. After a day of classes, those who play tennis play tennis, those who dive dive, those who practice in the deep mountains practice in the deep mountains, and those who sleep in the high buildings of the academy are especially dangerous.

Because of this reason, teachers must separate to find them, otherwise, if these people who are not familiar with the situation of other students are attacked by disguised spirits, the possibility of injury, serious injury, or even coma is much higher than that of active students.

However, whether it is Tiancheng Guang or Professor Crowler's worry, it is actually worrying too much.

It seems that after the initial attack, the spirits gradually retreated, or—

This first probe was just an experimental attack by the spirits, and after figuring out the basic quality and duel ability of the students, they gradually disappeared.

Therefore, on the morning of the second day, almost all students gathered in front of the school building.

Many students had injuries on their faces and bodies, and it seemed they were also attacked.

The students of the Fusion Department talked to each other, chatted about what happened last night, and chattered and discussed.

Many people looked quite lonely.

Professor Viper glanced at the students and found Kagurazaka among them.

He now looks quite sad, lowering his head, looking very self-blaming. I'm afraid something happened last night that hurt his friends or himself.

Everything is in Yubel's plan.

Professor Viper couldn't help but sigh.

For a moment, he really wanted to come up with other ideas to help his colleagues.

But—

When the reflection of his son appeared in his eyes, that last hesitation also disappeared completely, leaving only firmness.

No matter what, he still wanted to see his son one more time.
