Chapter 271: An Uninvited Guest in the Laboratory

First University, Jiuyou Academy.

Office building, room Zhong-101.

The empty and dark room was devoid of any sound, making this already somber place feel even more oppressive. In the void on all sides, specks of light twinkled faintly, accentuating the conference table at the center of the room, making it seem even more distant and insignificant.

A dragon-shaped chandelier coiled around the oval conference table, with dozens of sprites holding rags and brushes, silently weaving through its intricately sculpted scale armor, polishing its body until it gleamed.

Under the chandelier, unlike usual, there were not dozens of high-backed chairs, but only six chairs scattered about.

One at the head and one at the foot, two on each side.

Vice Principals of First University sat at either end of the table, with deans of the four institutions flanking both sides, none of them were truly present, merely seated by projection.
