Chapter 115

After reading the comics and watching the forum, Su Bei breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting everything done.

Of course, there is one more thing to do, which is to test the newly acquired "dream bubble" ability. But now in the exam, it is definitely not possible to create people directly with props out of thin air, so you can only use the ability to build a world in dreams.

But that ability can only be used once a month, and most importantly, after using it, he will be weak for a whole day, so he must find the right time, at least not when Si Zhaohua is still living with him.

Otherwise, if he is weak, the other party will also be weak, and if there is any danger, they will have to leave the examination room together.

But don't worry, Si Zhaohua probably won't stay for long. He still needs to earn points, and if he stays too long, he will definitely lose out. Su Bei believes that the author will not give him this opportunity.

Just as he expected, Si Zhaohua opened his eyes dazedly the next afternoon. He first looked at the ceiling to wake up, then spoke: "Subei"

Su Bei was washing up at that time. Hearing this, he quickly wiped his face with a towel and walked in: "You woke up pretty quickly."

Si Zhaohua breathed a sigh of relief and slowly sat up: "What's going on now?"

"The high-level nightmare beast that could teleport was not dead. It wanted to attack you after you used 'Divine Judgment', but I saved it. You were unconscious for a whole day, and others are looking for new solutions." Su Bei succinctly recounted what happened in the past two days.

After hearing his words, Si Zhaohua calmed down. The memories in his mind matched what he had just said one by one, and after a moment he took the lead in saying, "Thank you for saving me."

When he was about to land after killing the bubble nightmare beast, he suddenly felt a figure behind him. At that moment, his hair stood on end, and the alarm bells in his head were buzzing like crazy, but he couldn't move at all.

It was not until after that crisp collision that Si Zhaohua felt the threat disappear and relaxed. Now that he thought about it, that should be the sound of Su Bei saving him.

"It's a matter of money." Su Bei stood up and walked to the table and handed him a glass of water. "Do you think you should rest for a few days?"

"One more day of rest will be enough." Si Zhaohua felt his physical condition. "Although my mental strength cannot be fully restored, I can still kill a few low-level nightmare beasts."

Suddenly he remembered another thing: "Oh, how can I live in your house?"

Based on his understanding of Zhou Renjie, he would definitely take him away to take care of him, but given Su Bei's personality, he would definitely not be willing to take the initiative to take care of him.

Su Bei shrugged: "The high-level nightmare beast is not dead. Do you think it will give up? It has been harassing others every day these days. Only my house is safe."

The teleporting nightmare beast probably held a grudge against Jiang Tianming and the others for plotting to kill the bubble nightmare beast. Although it did not dare to attack Si Zhaohua and Su Bei because of their shock, it was still easy for it to deal with others.

However, its teleportation ability is buggy enough, so it is very weak in other aspects. In addition, there are many people in the S class who are naturally resistant to it, so they can only attack by surprise.

Therefore, Jiang Tianming and his friends stayed together for the past few days, so that they could take care of each other if the nightmare beast suddenly appeared. If they acted separately, they would be easily caught by assassins.

Hearing about the nightmare beast that almost killed him again, Si Zhaohua frowned and said, "Come to think of it, I didn't ask how it survived just now."

He remembered what happened that day clearly. They clearly killed the nightmare beast.

"It was an illusion. What happened that day was fake." Su Bei replied.

It was Lan Subing who discovered this. After they all knew that the teleporting nightmare beast was not dead, they started to review it when they had free time. At this time, Lan Subing suddenly raised a doubt. The mental power she consumed to control the teleporting nightmare beast was a little too little, which was probably equivalent to the amount of mental power she consumed to control the intermediate nightmare beast in the wall when she first went out for training.

At the time, she just thought that she had improved a lot in training during this period, and she didn't know how strong a high-level nightmare beast was, so she didn't think it was strange. But now that she thinks about it, it feels like there might be something wrong.

When everyone heard this, they looked at Zhou Renjie again. At that time, he was the only one besides Lan Subing who controlled the teleporting nightmare beast, so he should have been able to sense whether there was a problem or not.

Zhou Renjie hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "It seems that the struggle is not that great."

At that time, he felt very anxious when he thought that there was a high-level nightmare beast in his stomach, so he subconsciously felt that his stomach hurt a lot. But when he thought about it again, it didn't seem to hurt that much, or it didn't hurt at all, it was just a psychological effect.

But Zhou Renjie dared not say that if he had discovered the problem at that time, they would have postponed the plan and captured the teleporting nightmare beast first, and now perhaps they would not have failed at all.

However, even if he didn't say it, no one could guess the truth from his guilty expression. After questioning, they learned that he might not have felt any pain. After everyone analyzed the situation, they guessed that the teleporting nightmare beast they killed might have been just an illusion created by the bubble nightmare beast.

"...Then we just need to catch it one more time. This time there will be no illusion to help it hide." After a long silence, Qi Huang spoke confidently.

The mistake had already been made, and it was not caused by just one person. Lan Subing, Zhou Renjie, and others who also failed to see the flaws all had some degree of responsibility.

Perhaps Zhou Renjie bears the greatest responsibility, but now is not the time to pursue responsibility. Compensating for the losses is the most important thing.

Everyone was also infected by her confidence and began to think of countermeasures. The previous method would definitely not work. The high-level nightmare beast wore gloves every time it came, and it only appeared for a short time each time, giving everyone no chance to react.

We have to find a way to trap it, maybe a range control skill can solve this problem.

"So have they come up with a solution now?" Si Zhaohua asked curiously after listening to Su Bei's story.

Su Bei shrugged and said, "I didn't pay attention to what happened next."

In fact, all that was said just now was because Jiang Tianming took the initiative to tell him, otherwise he would not pay attention. Now they are busy looking for the superpower with range control, so naturally they don't have the leisure to report the progress to him.

Si Zhaohua was really itching. He didn't want to rest here at all. He wanted to find a way to destroy the high-level nightmare beasts like everyone else. At the very least, he could kill a few nightmare beasts!

However, his supernatural powers were still sealed and his mental strength was extremely weak, so he couldn't get out at all.

Seeing his intention, Su Bei sneered: "You'd better take care of your body first. It's best to keep your spirits strong and break through this illusion in one go."

As they were talking, someone knocked on the door. In this family, Su's mother would never knock on the door, so the person outside the door could only be Feng Lan. Su Bei opened the door, and the person standing outside was indeed the white-haired boy.

At this time, the boy's white hair was a little messy, and there was a hint of dark circles under his eyes, which was particularly obvious on his fair face.

Si Zhaohua, who was watching this scene from behind, was a little surprised: "Feng Lan, what's wrong with you?"

"I encountered a bottleneck." Su Bei answered with a smile.

Feng Lan did not refute, but said to Si Zhaohua calmly: "It's okay."

Looking at the other person's pale face, he hesitated for a moment and added, "You'd better wait until you are fully recovered before going out."

Si Zhaohua was stunned when he heard this. Su Bei followed his gaze and immediately responded, "That's true. If that high-level nightmare beast saw you so weak, it would probably guess that you can't use that skill for a while."

From the fact that two high-level nightmare beasts could cooperate to deceive the examinees into faking their own deaths, it can be seen that their IQs are definitely not low. And the relationship between the two parties should be good.

Si Zhaohua killed the Bubble Nightmare Beast, and was originally hated by the Teleporting Nightmare Beast. However, because he was afraid of the power he used that day, and Su Bei was watching, he did not dare to kill him. Once he found that he was very weak and might not be able to use his superpowers, how could he let him go?

At this time, Si Zhaohua also reacted and nodded helplessly: "Okay, then I will rest for one more day. Thank you for your reminder. If you have something to do, go ahead and do it. Don't worry about me."

"Do you think we two are in trouble?" Su Bei casually hooked his arm around Feng Lan's shoulders.

Si Zhaohua was speechless.

In the following days, Su Bei seemed to follow the principle of laziness and did nothing. But in fact, he really did nothing. Sorry, the days of laziness were too comfortable. He didn't even have to practice during the exams. Su Bei couldn't wait for the arrival of winter vacation.

Although he knew very well that the winter vacation would not be smooth sailing, it didn't matter, as it would be more relaxing than the days when he was in school.

While he was messing around, Jiang Tianming and the others were working hard to complete their plans. They had already attracted many psychics who were willing to cooperate. After all, if the battle could really be won, it would be a great thing for them. That's 500 points! Who wouldn't want that?

When he was free, Jiang Tianming took the time to tell Su Bei about their plan. The plan was very simple. They would use Si Zhaohua to lure the nightmare beasts together, and then use the principle of dust explosion to directly kill a large number of nightmare beasts.

Ordinary means of attack, including guns and swords, cannot cause damage to nightmare beasts, which is why psychics are so valued. Only they can fight against nightmare beasts.

But the dust explosion that Jiang Tianming wanted to use was not an ordinary dust explosion, but an explosion composed of Qi Huang's flame and coal powder controlled by Wu Mingbai, mixed with aluminum powder controlled by Jiang Tianming.

They were using supernatural products, so naturally they could cause damage to the nightmare beast. In fact, this plan would be better if Mo Xiaotian was involved, but unfortunately he was not in the same team as them.

Su Bei was a little confused: "Dust explosions must occur in a relatively closed space. Such a space cannot be very large. You can't destroy many nightmare beasts at once."

If we fail to destroy enough Nightmare Beasts at one time, then the next time, no matter how stupid the Nightmare Beasts are, they will not be fooled. After all, there is still a high-level Nightmare Beast alive with sufficient intelligence who can command them.

Jiang Tianming is indeed the brains of this comic, and he has already thought of a solution: "The location we chose is a factory. The place is indeed not big enough, but who says that the explosion can only be confined to the factory?"

Only then did Su Bei realize that Jiang Tianming had found a person with the supernatural power of [Mirror Image] among the other candidates, who could copy some inanimate objects, such as scenes, in the form of a mirror.

By then, as long as the opponent places the superpower in advance, two or three factories will appear and explode at the same time. This number may not accommodate all nightmare beasts, but at least most of them will be fine.

At this time, Wu Mingbai's voice came from the phone: "As long as we kill most of those nightmare beasts, the rest should be easy to deal with. At most, we can just stay here for two more days."

Si Zhaohua, who was standing next to him and listening to his conversation with Jiang Tianming, suddenly shook his head and said, "I wonder if you guys look down on other candidates too much?"

Jiang Tianming was not angry, but rather curious: "What do you mean?"

Unlike Jiang Tianming and his friends, Si Zhaohua, as the young master of a family, is learning more about leadership skills: "You don't think that the S classes in other schools are vegetarians, do you?"

Su Bei understood what he meant instantly and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing. He really was blinded by one thing this time.

Their school was able to match seven or eight S-class students, so naturally there would be no fewer from other schools. It was possible that the S-class students from other schools could not fight against high-level nightmare beasts. But it was too contemptuous to say that they could not even deal with ordinary nightmare beasts.

The reason why they had been in a state of decline before was that there were still two high-level Nightmare Beasts present. Those who wanted to earn high scores did not dare to destroy the Nightmare Beasts in a big way, for fear of being targeted by the high-level Nightmare Beasts.

Another point is that there are too many nightmare beasts and it is impossible to kill them all.

But as long as they can destroy a small number of nightmare beasts in one go, the rest can actually be left to others. He really didn't think of this for a while, after all, the protagonists of this comic are Jiang Tianming and others, and Su Bei will subconsciously ignore the importance of other passers-by characters.

But this is not right. Maybe for readers, this is just a comic book world and the supporting characters are not important. But he is a person living in this world, and the so-called passers-by may also be a supernatural person with good combat power.

Jiang Tianming obviously reflected on it: "Well, you are right, but now is a good time to get more points."

Speaking of scoring, Si Zhaohua became anxious. He had given Su Bei one-third of the points because of what happened before, and now he probably had the least points among all the people.

With Si Zhaohua's personality, he couldn't bear to be the foundation, so on the second night, when he felt that his mental strength had almost recovered, Si Zhaohua left Su Bei's house.

After he left, Su Bei could use the props without restraint. When he went to bed that night, he directly used the "Dream Bubble" and began to study his own supernatural powers.

After falling asleep, Su Bei came to a pure white dream world. He could feel that he was the master of this dream and he could control everything freely.

After thinking about it, Su Bei constructed a relatively real little world, and selected a simple family of three from it, letting them eat at the table. He then went invisible to check the fate compasses above the heads of the three people.

Because they were built according to the template of ordinary people, the pointers on the heads of these three people are also very ordinary. The small pointer is slightly to the left, and the big pointer is in the upper half of the circle.

Seeing the real world, Su Bei nodded with satisfaction and started to do the experiment. Today he wanted to understand his own supernatural power thoroughly!

When he woke up in the morning, Su Bei felt very tired, as if he hadn't slept for a week. He was so sleepy and tired that he could faint at any time.

But he was extremely excited, because after this night's understanding, Su Bei finally had a great understanding of his own supernatural powers! Although he still didn't understand the function of the compass, he finally understood the role of the big pointer.

Just as he had guessed before, the [Gear of Destiny] was indeed a very complete system, which included not only luck, but also many aspects.

In fact, only the direction of the little hand represents luck, while the big hand has a completely different meaning. Each point it points to has a specific content. For example, the top half, pointing to 10 o'clock represents going out, 11 o'clock represents eating, and 2 o'clock represents conversation...

The lower half represents the way of death. The left half represents homicide, and the right half represents natural death.

The most special ones are six o'clock and twelve o'clock.

The bottom six dots represent suicide, and the top twelve dots represent a big event, good or bad, but a big event.

This thing should be viewed together with the little finger. For example, when it points to twelve o'clock, if the little finger is to the left, then it is naturally a good thing, and vice versa.

But because he only had one night to explore, he only found out the contents represented by the twelve locations and did not research anything else.

According to Su Bei's observation, there is definitely more to the "Gear of Destiny" than what he discovered. The movement of one person's pointer is likely to cause the movement of the pointers of those around them. Unfortunately, due to lack of time, the other things can only wait until next month to study.

However, this research alone has enabled him to obtain a lot of information, and he feels that his strength has greatly increased. In the past, he could only rely on adjusting the little finger to try his luck. Although he never failed, he was still nervous. Moreover, the little finger could not be adjusted to the lower half, so he had no killer moves.

Now, he can truly control the fate of others.

However, the consumption is also extremely high. The mental energy consumed by adjusting the big pointer is far beyond that of the little pointer. Even if it is just adjusted in the same direction (up or down), it will consume a lot of mental energy.

If he wanted to move the big pointer from top to bottom or vice versa, he would need to consume three quarters of his mental energy.

You have to know that he has advanced mental power! It is conceivable that if you don’t have as much mental power as he does, if you want to directly reverse a person’s life and death, what you need is probably vitality.

But it makes sense when you think about it. It can probably be considered a kind of conservation of energy.

Because he would be very weak all day, Su Bei stayed in his room and rarely went out. During the meal, Feng Lan and Su's mother couldn't help but look at his pale face.

Su's mother asked worriedly, "Xiaobei, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"

If you get sick at this time, you can't go to the hospital. Fortunately, because of the previous reminder, the family has not only stocked up on food, but also stocked up on medicine, otherwise Su's mother really doesn't know what to do.

"It's okay, I just stayed up late last night." Su Bei said casually, "Don't worry, I'll be fine tomorrow."

Hearing this, Feng Lan looked at him thoughtfully. She obviously guessed that Su Bei's weakness was definitely not caused by staying up late, otherwise he wouldn't be so sure that he would be fine tomorrow.

"Bang!"

The next afternoon, Su Bei stood by the window and watched countless nightmare beasts running in the same direction as if they were bewitched. He knew that Jiang Tianming and his team's plan had begun.

Su Bei did not participate in this plan. It goes without saying that there will most likely be no problem this time. In this case, even if he participates, he may not play a big role, so it is better to save his energy.

It must be said that the sight of a group of nightmare beasts running in one direction was quite shocking. During the entire exam, Su Bei often couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, the monsters in this supernatural manga were originally created by the author. If it was a zombie apocalypse, he really couldn't imagine what the scene would be like now.

"Bang!"

A huge explosion sounded from the east, and the flames rising into the sky could be seen as far away as northern Jiangsu.

He opened his phone and looked at the group messages. Many people who knew about Jiang Tianming and his team's plan heard the explosion and hurriedly asked about the current situation and whether the plan was successful.

Su Bei was bored during this period, so he often read group messages and got a lot of information from them. A tracking psychic successfully tracked the location of the teleporting nightmare beast.

Of course, the purpose of tracking this is definitely not to tear apart a high-level nightmare beast. Except for a guy like Si Zhaohua who has cheated, with their current level, they can't kill a high-level nightmare beast at all. It's just that after knowing the opponent's real-time location, everyone can get away from it in time.

At this point, everyone realized later that their previous attempt to attack the teleporting nightmare beast alone was too risky. Now think about it, even if the teleporting nightmare beast appeared in its original form, they might not be able to defeat it.

Zhou Renjie's use of his supernatural power to swallow the opponent into his stomach alone could have easily led to his elimination. After all, since the opponent could teleport infinitely, why couldn't he teleport directly out of Zhou Renjie's stomach?

It is worth mentioning that when they discussed this point, Zhou Renjie was inspired and decided to find a way to develop his ability to restrict other abilities.

It was too dangerous for others to use their superpowers in his stomach. For example, Wu Mingbai defeated him in this way. If there were some restrictions, his strength would undoubtedly be greatly enhanced.

Back to the group chat, it can be seen from the group that many candidates have gone out to destroy the nightmare beasts. Now is the best time, there is no need to worry about being killed by thousands of nightmare beasts, nor do you need to worry about the teleporting nightmare beasts suddenly attacking.

Of course, the latter is still likely to kill people, but if you are still hesitant at this time, it is better to just quit directly. What's the point of taking the exam?

After all, it was an assessment for the first-year students, and the beast tide was not particularly serious. The reason why it caused so much loss was mainly because the government deliberately concealed it, which led to everyone being completely unprepared and naturally causing heavy losses.

Su Bei had earned enough points and had no intention of working. He stayed at home and behaved like a good kid these two days. Feng Lan had no intention of going out, but as if he suddenly thought of something, or saw something, he stood up at dinner the next day: "Uncle Li!"

Hearing his sudden words, Su Bei was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong with Uncle Li?"

Feng Lan frowned and said while putting on her coat, "Uncle Li is in danger."

Now Subei also reacted. Yes, now it seems that the nightmare beast is no longer a threat. The government, which originally only sided with them because of the danger, should start to plan for itself.
