Chapter 844: The Forbidden Alchemy
"Yuei Vu-sensei!"
Judai showed an expression of surprise, and seemed not to feel inappropriate at all about being "caught by the teacher trespassing in a forbidden area".
Yuei Vu also ignored the question for the time being, gently touched his little jellyfish head, and walked to Daitokuji.
Daitokuji coughed twice violently. He balled his knees and tried to stand up, but his body seemed to refuse to do so. After two futile attempts, he quickly gave up, sat back on the ground, and looked at the duo of master and disciple with a wry smile.
Yuei Vu raised his eyebrows: "Do you need help?"
Daitokuji shook his head: "I'd better keep it like this."
Only then did Yuki Judai see the face of Daitokuji under the mask.
Although it still looked like the face he was familiar with, it seemed to be slightly different from what he remembered. His face was pale, veins popped out around his face, and the corners of his mouth were dry and cracked.
If he hadn't just played a fierce game with this teacher, it would be hard for him to believe that his body in this mental state could actually stand up. This person did not look like a young teacher, but more like a helpless old man who has been bedridden and suffering from illness for many years.
Even though they were life-and-death enemies just now, Judai couldn't help but say: "Sensei, you"
Daitokuji smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, it's just an old problem."
He wasn't lying, it was indeed an old problem. But what he didn't mention was that this old problem could be fatal.
Yuei Vu put his hands in his pockets and asked, "When did you notice me coming?"
"It's been a while." Daitokuji shook his head as if trying to keep himself awake, "Mr. Duel King is so elusive, I really didn't realize you were here at first.
I dont mean to brag, but there arent many people in this world who can approach me unknowingly. "
"I believe it." Yuei Vu nodded.
Only then did Judai notice that Teacher Daitokuji's eyes, which were usually squinted, actually opened. His pupils were red, the color of blood, which made people feel a little uneasy.
"You don't seem to be surprised that I am one of the Seven Stars," Daitokuji said.
Yuei Vu was noncommittal and did not answer the question. Instead, he said, "I have a few questions."
"You can ask." Daitokuji agreed readily.
"Who is the one order Seven Stars' to act?" Yuei Vu asked, "We also captured a few members of the Seven Stars', but they were either unable to speak after the torture of the Shadow Game, or did not know anything."
Daitokuji smiled: "That man is indeed very cautious. Except for me, his confidant, the other members of the Seven Stars are just pawns, and no one knows his identity."
Then he laughed at himself: "No, or I should say that in the end, I am just another pawn."
"So who is he?"
Daitokuji raised his head, looked at Yuei Vu seriously, and said word by word: "One of the people behind this academy, the founder of Kagemaru Company, Chairman Kagemaru."
Yuei Vu stared at his scarlet eyes for a long time, confirming that the teacher was not lying.
"Kagemaru is dead," he said.
On the contrary, Daitokuji showed a surprised expression on his face.
"A few months ago, he was confirmed to have died in his life-support facility on an isolated island. I confirmed it with my own eyes." Yuei Vu said, "The board of directors of Kagemaru company got the news, but because it may be related to the company's survival, they deliberately blocked the leakage of information."
After a pause, Yuei Vu said: "Although these contents are blocked from the outside world, I thought that as his confidant, you should know this. It seems that you didn't get the news?"
Daitokuji frowned: "Nothis shouldn't be the case. You said he died a few months ago?"
"I discovered him," Yuei Vu said. "But when I arrived, he had been dead for a while. He had been controlled by a demon named Tragodia' before."
Daitokuji shook his head.
"That's impossible." He said firmly, "I met him, just last month."
Yuei Vu raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure? It's not the kind that only has an abstract outline and a processed voice across the computer screen?"
"No." Daitokuji was convinced, "I saw him in person, we had a conversation and there were some disagreements on details.
Chairman Kagemaru is a very important person to me, and I cannot possibly mistake him for anyone else. "
After a pause, he added: "In fact, it was that disagreement that made me more determined to stop him. That man is going astray. He is pursuing too much power and will even lose himself in it."
Daitokuji's eyes turned to Yuki Judai.
"That's why I entrusted my alchemy and everything to Judai. If there is anyone who should inherit my will and stop that man, that person must be Judai."
Yuei Vu actually wanted to say that he could do it too but considering that Daitokuji may have taken a fancy to the so-called "alchemy talent" of Judai, after thinking about it, he still kept his mouth closed.
"Ahem, I don't have much time."
Daitokuji coughed again. He raised his hand with difficulty and handed over the Millennium Spellbook, whose painting style looked like an artifact.
"Judai, inherit this book. This is my lifelong research! I entrust these to you"
Judai was a little confused. He instinctively felt that the responsibility was too great and he couldn't bear it, so he subconsciously wanted to refuse.
"This is Daitokuji-sensei's last wish, just accept it." Yuei Vu patted Judai on the shoulder.
Just kidding, this book contained the "Philosopher's Stone", which was the most awesome card even if it was placed among all the fake cards in animations of all time!
This was like a master in martial arts fantasy who was about to die. Just before he died, he happened to meet a good young man whose talent only appeared once in a thousand years. He resolutely decided to pass on his lifelong skills to the young man
To be honest, Yuei Vu also wanted this kind of artifact. But the other party has made it clear that only the ultimate alchemist could unleash the power of this card.
It's not like Yuei Vu has never learned alchemy. He knew that his qualifications in this area were not outstanding, and the Philosopher's Stone would probably be useless in his hands.
But it didn't matter.
I can't use it, but Judai can!
In the hands of my lovely disciple, wouldn't it be almost equivalent to being in my own hands?
Daitokuji coughed again, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
"Alchemy has its limits after all." He smiled helplessly, "No matter how attached to life you are, no matter how you resist death, all alchemy can do is delay the inevitable."
Hearing this, Yuei Vu thought and walked to one end of the secret room.
This was a room in an abandoned dormitory. Because no one came here all year round, it was once chosen by Daitokuji as his laboratory on the academy island.
And on the wall at this end of the room, there was a coffin leaning against it.
Pushing the heavy sarcophagus board away, a burst of choking dust rose up, revealing in front of everyone a long-dried entity.
It looked like it had been there for some time, and the severe corrosion made the face of the corpse unrecognizable. But at least this service attire, this face shape, and this hairstyle all feel familiar.
It looks just like Daitokuji.
If an ordinary student saw a mummy in such a weird environment, he might be frightened and scream, but Judai did not.
He tried hard to identify the characteristics of Daitokuji from the corpse, and then looked at the teacher Daitokuji behind him in surprise.
"Sensei, this is"
"This is my body that died many years ago." Daitokuji smiled sadly, "Judai, you already know that I am a top alchemist, but you don't know my past.
In fact, I am terminally ill and my body failed many years ago. "
"Then you now"
"Now this is the body I created for myself, using alchemy."
Daitokuji said calmly, pointing to the body lying in the coffin as if talking about an insignificant passerby.
"The one lying there, that was my original body. I relied on alchemy to get rid of the body riddled with pain, but the artificial body could not last long after all.
Now my body is almost at its limit, and the duel just now made things even worse. Soon, my body will collapse, and my existence will probably be wiped out"
These were secrets that Yuei Vu had known for a long time, and the matter itself did not surprise him. But Daitokuji's explanation inspired him, and a terrifying possibility flashed through his mind.
He turned to Daitokuji.
"You said that Kagemaru supported all your experiments, right?"
Daitokuji was stunned and nodded: "That's right."
"So he has all your research information?"
"Yes."
"Does it mean that he also masters the forbidden alchemy technique of human transmutation?"
Daitokuji suddenly raised his head, his scarlet eyes contracted slightly, and fear reflected in them.
He understood what Yuei Vu was thinking in an instant.
And he sincerely hoped that Yuei Vu was wrong.
