Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

This damn place had long been shrouded in disasters. Any slight movement could cost him his life, but the teachers and students of the academy were not affected by the bad luck and were instead blessed with good fortune.

In his limited knowledge, he had never heard of anyone being able to set up such a vast and complex barrier.

There is no such person in Yindie, nor in the court. If there really is such a person in this world, he would have been spotted by the company and invited to "heaven" long ago.

Why was this fox demon not recruited by the outsiders, but appeared in a place like Yunhai Academy?

The old poisonous creature had doubts in his mind, and at the same time he also developed a strong interest in the "Mr. Mingyuan" mentioned by the girl.

When you arrive at the foot of the mountain, you will find the Nether Prison in a "cave" not far away.

A several-meter-long white-haired dog demon was curled up at the entrance of the cave. Hearing the footsteps, its pointed ears trembled and its eyes narrowed a little. When it saw that it was the fox demon girl coming, it closed its eyes and dozed off again.

The old poisoner stood in front of the door. The time he visited the Netherworld came much earlier than he expected.

As one of the first infiltrators, the Netherworld was naturally an area he had to pay attention to.

According to legend, there is a criminal imprisoned in the prison who has a feud with the academy that lasts for hundreds of years. If they could find a way to release him, it would surely cause chaos.

Along the way, the old poisonous creature had already thought of an excuse.

The essence of the art of disguise is not only to change one's face, but also to perfectly integrate oneself into the changed identity. From now on, he is a poor man who has no choice but to work for the court because of his family's secret art. He has long been dissatisfied with the brutal rule of the second prince, but the other party threatened his family, so he had to submit.

He is willing to take the initiative to become a double agent and reveal the movements of Hidden Butterfly to the academy, so that he can become the academy's secret weapon when Hidden Butterfly invades.

If Duan Mingyuan asked, he would be able to match every detail.

Perfect lies are built on the truth, and the identity he prepared is real.

He was a young man in his early twenties who looked honest.

Because he was dissatisfied with the orders of the Second Prince, he took the target of assassination away midway during an operation and fled.

When the young man was brought here, he was already frightened and would answer everything truthfully.

The old poisoner recalled the scene at that time. It didn't take him much effort to get all the information from the young man, including that he had entrusted the assassination target to the care of his aunt's family outside.

In order to reward the young man's honesty, he only used him for one night to conduct experiments and then ended the young man's life completely.

The old poisonous creature went deeper into the darkness, and a strange feeling emerged in his heart.

It turned out that those who were sent to his mansion by the second prince were all in such an uneasy mood.

In the deepest part of the hell, the old poisoner met Duan Mingyuan as he wished.

He was much younger than he had imagined. In his imagination, those who could master extraordinary skills must be in their seventies or eighties.

He has white hair and looks like an immortal.

However, Duan Mingyuan not only does not have the air of an immortal, but instead has the air of a city dweller. He looks more like an office worker that can be seen everywhere on the subway platform after get off work.

The old poisonous creature also noticed the fox girl's delighted look when she saw Duan Mingyuan. She was like a sweet wife welcoming her husband home. She personally presented him with a loving lunch box and asked him about his experience at work today.

Being with Duan Mingyuan, Jiu Yue seemed to have some down-to-earth air, as if she was no longer the evil fox that controlled disasters, but a newlywed wife who was still in the sweet period.

This so-called Mr. Ming Yuan...

Could he be a gigolo?

I don't know by what chance he got to know a fox demon and won her favor.

Apart from this, the old poisonous creature really couldn't see any extraordinary qualities in this young man. Considering the fox demon's abilities, the two elite soldiers who had been killed by the messenger might have also died under the fox demon's barrier.

The old poisoner recalled the young man's panic when he saw him, and his legs began to tremble. The moment he came in front of Duan Mingyuan, he took the initiative to confess his crimes, "This was all forced by the Second Prince. He wanted me to put the drug into the food of the academy. If--"

"After the matter is done, you can choose thirty people from the academy to deal with them at your own will."

It was clearly a very calm tone, but it frightened the old poisoner to death.

Mind reading?

No, even with mind reading, it is impossible to read his memory directly!

There are people in the Hidden Butterfly organization who specialize in mind-reading and soul-stealing. In order to avoid exposing the organization's information when the mission fails, each of them has received special training.

The old poisoner could only pretend that he didn't hear it and continued in a panic, "The Second Prince used my family as a threat..."

"You are very knowledgeable about poisons. Your hobby is to inject the poison you develop into your victims and observe the changes that occur to them up close."

Likewise, Duan Mingyuan ignored the old poisoner. The two of them were talking about completely different things, as if they were talking about their own things. "Although most of them are useless knowledge, it's still a pity that you made this trip."

The old poisonous creature did not say anything more. He had no idea how Duan Mingyuan saw through his disguise. Even the deal between him and the second prince was completely exposed to the other party.

The feeling of being seen through from head to toe gave him a chill.

"Wait, wait a minute!"

The old poisonous creature's brain was working rapidly. The development of things was completely beyond his expectations. Even though his true identity was seen through, there was no ripple on Duan Mingyuan's face. He did not seem to have any intention of negotiating with him or threatening his life.

Not good!

The way Duan Mingyuan looked at him reminded the old poisonous creature of those extremely special beings.

The personal bodyguard of Tianwaimin’s senior executives.

He had worked with one of them before. Those people had this expression when they were on a mission. To them, taking someone's life was as common as picking up a stone.

"I admit that I am close to the Second Prince, and I know a lot about him..."

Duan Mingyuan interrupted the old poisoner, "I know everything you know."

"As for the plan to invade the academy, I can help you mediate—"

"no need."

The old poisonous creature opened his mouth wide, but in the end no sound came out.

Silence returned to the depths of the Hell once again, leaving only the sound of a stone falling to the ground.

The life of the old poisonous creature can be described as eventful. He went from being a marginalized little person to becoming a celebrity around the second prince step by step. This was destined to be an unusual journey.

However, no matter how proficient a person is in the art of disguise, he cannot change the color of his life energy.

When the old poisonous creature appeared in front of him, the air seemed to be filled with a foul odor.

It's so serious that it affects appetite.

In the process of communicating with the life energy, Duan Mingyuan had to observe the "scientific experiments" that Lao Duwu loved.

The latter's greatest interest in life is to torture others with various poisons, and he seems to be able to gain some kind of happiness from it that Duan Mingyuan cannot understand.

Duan Mingyuan and Lao Duwu are not of the same kind.

When he decided to take action, he would never spend a whole night admiring the victim's suffering.

His eyes did not linger on the fallen stone for even a second, but instead picked up the lunch box that September had carefully prepared for him.

According to the schedule, the next time he should enjoy the loving lunch box prepared by his wife. If some unclean things ruined his mood, it would be a waste of Jiuyue’s busy work in the kitchen for the whole afternoon.

When I opened the lid of the lunch box, the aroma was as fragrant as ever.

The chicken pieces on the rice are rich in sauce and are very appetizing with the garnish of green and red peppers.

"This person is quite special. I thought you would like him."

September came to the stone, looked down, and then kicked it into deeper darkness.

"It's quite special."

Duan Mingyuan said, "But there's no need to pick up all the garbage."

Chapter 121: Cosmic Relations Coordination Department

Although Old Poison is not a very good person, his spirit of risking his life alone to reveal to them the Second Prince's plan to attack the academy tonight is worthy of encouragement.

When a man is about to die, his words are good. At least at the end of his life, the old poisonous creature did some good things.

Good things done under pressure are also good things.

Jiu Yue also held the lunch box, tucked up her tail, sat next to Duan Mingyuan, and ate her lunch with relish. For her, the old poison was like a stone of strange color that she happened to pick up on the roadside. Since Mr. Mingyuan said it was a dirty thing, she would not pick it up again in the future.

"The Second Prince's original plan was to have the old poisoner drug the food to knock everyone unconscious, hoping to easily take over Yunhai Academy. If the old poisoner failed, he would resort to a violent attack."

From the old poison's memory, Duan Mingyuan also learned about the ending of Chu Xingluo, the dean of the chess academy.

He carried the death bomb given to him by Chen Chou and managed to get close to the Second Prince, but he was one step behind. He never expected that the Second Prince he met was a substitute.

As early as a week ago, Chu Xingluo had already told the Second Prince the route to climb Qingchi Peak.

As long as they find a way to break through the barrier, Hidden Butterfly's killers will be able to rush to the academy as soon as possible.

"I can stop them at the foot of the mountain by myself."

Jiu Yue did not take the Second Prince seriously. In the words of Mr. Ming Yuan, the barrier she set up was much more offensive than the formation left by the founder of Yunhai Academy.

To put it more simply, the ability of Huohu is the "noob killer" that players often talk about in the game.

According to Duan Mingyuan's speculation, as long as the intensity of life energy has not reached the intermediate level, one will die tragically due to various bizarre accidents the moment he sets foot in the barrier.

In a battle of equal strength, September's ability is more like a support.

Although Disaster cannot cause fatal damage to opponents of the same level, it can give opponents a negative status of "everything goes wrong", causing them to be unable to hit when they use their abilities, and when they are attacked, they will be 100% hit.

Therefore, in Duan Mingyuan's opinion, the most ideal way for Jiu Yue to fight at present is to form a team to add status to others.

"You need to remove the barrier tonight and recharge your batteries."

"Cancel the barrier? Why?"

Jiu Yue turned her head to me in confusion, "Is it to give the young people in the academy a chance to grow, so that I won't block all the small fry at the foot of the mountain?"

"That's a consideration, but more importantly, your opponent is someone else."

"The Second Prince? Is he that powerful?"

In terms of age, the Second Prince is the second son of the First King, and is a few years younger than Ning Ruyue. Currently, Ning Ruyue's life energy is 31, and she has only reached the edge of an intermediate professional title. Even if the Second Prince is more talented, he should not be much better than the eldest princess.

What's more, she is the "youngest recipient of senior professional title in history" chosen by Mr. Ming Yuan, so it is not an exaggeration to describe her as having unlimited potential.

Duan Mingyuan said, "He is the Second Prince's teacher. The armor he wears is somewhat similar to 'Long Branch'."

The teacher's whereabouts were extremely secretive. Even the old poisoner who was the second prince's right-hand man had only seen him once, and that was by accident.

Because of this, the old poisoner was nearly killed by the teacher, and it was the second prince's plea that saved his life.

The old poisonous creature had never seen the Second Prince's teacher take action, but according to his judgment, the Second Prince's skills were all taught to him by this teacher, and when dealing with extremely dangerous organizations such as Wangxu, it was mostly the teacher who took action.

As long as the Second Prince's teacher takes action, there is no problem that cannot be solved.

Because of this, for the second prince, this trip to Yunhai Academy is just a gilding on his path to the throne of the first king.

Fortunately, the old poisonous man is a two-faced and vindictive person.

The experience of nearly dying at the hands of the Second Prince's teacher that day made him bear a grudge, and while in the court he privately collected a lot of information related to it, and discovered a fact that shocked him.

Within the Universal Company, there is an organization called the "Cosmic Relations Coordination Department", whose job is to secretly dominate the power relations on the various planets where the company is stationed.

And in this land, the so-called heir dispute is just a game for the department's board of directors.

The eldest princess, the second prince, and even all the other heirs are just pawns on the chessboard.

The reason why the second prince was in power was because the department directors invested the most in him. Therefore, from the moment the second prince was born, his future life had been planned.

He emerged at the age of 5.

At the age of 10, he had made some progress in the art of wielding a sword.

At the age of 15, he unified Yindie and held great power.

At the age of 17, he took advantage of the opportunity of conquering Yunhai Academy and inherited the throne of the first king without any suspense.

Every moment in the second prince's life is like a well-arranged schedule, and everything is proceeding in an orderly manner. Even the second prince himself is unaware of these details.

"Even the ruler of this country is chosen by the aliens?"

Jiu Yue was so surprised that she forgot that she was chewing bones, making a "crunching" sound. She knew nothing about politics and power, but under the influence of her fellow tribesmen, she believed since childhood that the First King was the top person on the planet.

The temples, villages, and even the land beneath their feet built by the villagers all belonged to the first king.

But now, Mr. Mingyuan said that the ruler at the top of this planet was actually chosen by the aliens.

"That's what the old poisoner thinks."

Duan Mingyuan nodded.
