Chapter 123

It was obvious that their destination was Meng Huai's office. In addition to a series of familiar furnishings, there was also a big Meng Huai sitting on a chair.

When he saw the Su Bei people coming over, he sneered and ignored them, and asked Lei Zeen first: "Did you have a smooth journey back?"

"It was smooth sailing! When I arrived, there were already two high-level nightmare beasts attacking Jiang Tianming." When he said this, he looked at Jiang Tianming meaningfully before continuing, "In just a short teleportation, I encountered an advanced nightmare beast intercepting me. If my teleportation array was not designed to prevent interception, I would not know where to land now."

This passage contains a lot of information. First of all, Jiang Tianming was able to fight two high-level nightmare beasts alone. Su Bei was wondering whether this ability was given to him by the two wanted criminals he killed, or whether it was an ability he originally had.

If it was the former, then why didn't he use it during the final exam? You know, killing a high-level Nightmare Beast can earn you a lot of points. If he put a little more effort into teleporting the Nightmare Beast, he might be able to squeeze into the top three.

The latter possibility is not very likely either. If the wanted criminal has the ability to face two high-level nightmare beasts alone, how could he be killed by Jiang Tianming and his men? You know, they can't even fight against a high-level nightmare beast!

Putting this aside for the moment, another piece of information revealed by Lei Zeen is that there are indeed many high-level nightmare beasts blocking this group. They really have a common vision and really don't want the fact that "nightmare beasts are the resentment of humans when they die" to be revealed.

But why

Su Bei couldn't understand it. It shouldn't matter if everyone knew about this. It's impossible for humans to die without resentment just because they knew this. This thing is like a cough, you can't help it.

They don't want humans to know this, it must be because it will do more harm than good. But what's even stranger is that humans don't want humans to know this either.

Many people, such as Meng Huai, Wu Di, and the "Black Flash" BOSS, must know this fact, but they have no intention of telling anyone about it, and are very secretive about it.

Why do both Nightmare Beasts and Humans not want this news to be made public?

Meng Huai laughed sarcastically, and looked at the four people from Su Bei with a sharp eagle-like gaze: "Who asked this question?"

Because the situation was urgent at the time, Jiang Tianming simply recounted the incident, namely: they had a chance to ask a high-level nightmare beast a question, and asked about the "relationship between humans and nightmare beasts." After getting the answer, they were worried about their own safety and hoped that the teacher would come to rescue them.

Of course Su Bei would not back down and answered directly: "It's me."

This answer was obviously not surprising to Meng Huai, because Su Bei had asked him a similar question before: "Why do you have to get entangled in this?"

"Then why didn't you tell me, teacher?" Su Bei asked back.

As for the questions he wanted to know, he could only ask passively or in a very obscure way, because once he asked actively, it would mean that he really didn't know.

For Su Bei, letting "not knowing" become an established fact is a terrible thing, which means that he can no longer use the forum to get the answer to the question by being mysterious. So he must always maintain his persona as a riddle teller, so that he can force a way out when he can't find a way out.

Thinking that they all knew the reason for the formation of the Nightmare Beast, Meng Huai no longer concealed it: "Once a large number of ordinary people get to know this news, then perhaps they can create an unprecedented and absolutely powerful Nightmare Beast."

After hearing this explanation, everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath. If this was the case, then it really couldn't be announced. But they didn't quite understand why ordinary people could create a particularly powerful nightmare beast after knowing this news.

Seeing their confusion, Lei Zeen helped explain: "The resentment of humans after death will create nightmare beasts, but according to our research, it is not the death of one person that will create a nightmare beast. Sometimes the death of multiple people can jointly generate a nightmare beast. For example, five people who died in the same car accident can jointly create a powerful nightmare beast. The reason why they can jointly create a nightmare beast is because they have something in common, that is, they died in a car accident together."

After hearing this, Lan Subing understood a little: "Teacher, what you mean is that if there are certain common points, the resentment of simultaneous death can be gathered together."

Seeing that she understood so quickly, Lei Zeen nodded in appreciation: "Yes, according to the description of the psychics who can see resentment, we all know that nightmare beasts are transformed from human resentment. Even if they are far apart, the resentment after death will gather together."

Su Bei understood immediately. As I said before, 150,000 to 160,000 people die every day around the world. If everyone knew this news, their resentment would gather together. Su Bei couldn't imagine how powerful a nightmare beast made up of the resentment of 150,000 to 600,000 people would be. It was probably to the extent that it could really destroy the world.

"That's not right. If that's the case, then why wouldn't the Nightmare Beast announce it to the public?" Wu Mingbai quickly realized another problem.

Since doing so can create powerful Nightmare Beasts, shouldn't the Nightmare Beasts take the initiative to announce themselves? Especially high-level Nightmare Beasts and the kindness of humans, he doesn't understand why they are trying so hard to intercept them.

This is also Su Bei's doubt.

"Because such a powerful nightmare beast is not only invincible to us, but also to those high-level nightmare beasts." Meng Huai showed a somewhat mocking smile, "They are all born with wisdom, and no creature wants to die."

"Will the Nightmare Beasts also fight among themselves?" Lan Subing's eyes widened in surprise.

Meng Huai introduced another piece of knowledge to them: "Do you know how high-level nightmare beasts are born?"

"A collection of resentments from many people or the strong resentment from one person." Jiang Tianming made two guesses in one breath.

Unfortunately, they were all wrong. Meng Huai shook his head: "It is the resentment of the psychic after death. Even the weakest psychic will generate a corresponding high-level nightmare beast after death."

This answer surprised everyone. They had never thought that high-level nightmare beasts and mutants had a direct connection. No wonder the nightmare beasts wanted to kill mutants more, because the death of mutants had a direct effect on their overall strength.

However, through Meng Huai's revelations, Jiang Tianming also realized another thing: "So even if many ordinary people create a nightmare beast together, as long as there is no superpower involved, it is not a high-level nightmare beast."

"Pretty smart." Meng Huai said something complimenting, "To become a high-level Nightmare Beast, the resentment of the Psychics must account for more than one-third of the total. So once the news is made public, the Nightmare Beast that is generated will definitely not be a high-level Nightmare Beast."

After hearing this, Su Bei already understood in his heart.

Although intermediate nightmare beasts have intelligence, they are not as smart as advanced nightmare beasts, and their IQs vary greatly. A nightmare beast formed by a large amount of resentment must have a low IQ.

In other words, once it appears, not to mention humans, even nightmare beasts probably won't be able to survive. This is equivalent to dying together, and nightmare beasts will not do it unless they don't want to die.

But after everything was explained, Meng Huai glared at Su Bei unhappily and said, "You are really good at making trouble. Don't you think about why I don't want to tell you?"

Su Bei smiled flatteringly but didn't say anything. He knew very well that even if he had to do it again, he would still ask the same question. If he didn't know the answer to this question, he would never know the truth about the imbalance of political power, let alone complete his mission.

Perhaps he saw that he was willing to learn, but he never changed. Meng Huai rolled his eyes and said, "You just stay in school for a day today, and you can go home tomorrow."

"Why?" Wu asked in confusion, "Don't those high-level nightmare beasts want to kill us?"

"Although they do want to kill a few psychics to satisfy their hunger, they are more afraid that you will make the matter public without knowing anything. Now that they know that you have been brought to our school and educated, they will not bother with that." It was Lei Zeen who answered him.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They originally thought that after this incident, they would not be able to leave the school for a short time. Unexpectedly, they only had to stay for one day before they could go back. Naturally, they were very happy. If they were locked up in school for the entire winter vacation, they would collapse.

It was not yet dinner time, and no one had the appetite to eat, so they gathered in Jiang Tianming's bedroom to discuss what had happened today.

Until now, Lan Subing still feels like she is dreaming: "It sounds incredible that the Nightmare Beast is formed by the resentment of humans after death!"

"Who said it wasn't?" Wu Mingbai sat on Jiang Tianming's bed, also with a look of emotion, "No wonder the teachers said that the Nightmare Beast has absolutely no good intentions towards humans. After all, it is made up of resentment, how can it have good intentions?"

Jiang Tianming said seriously: "The truth is this, the power of the nightmare beast will only get stronger and stronger."

Unlike humans, nightmare beasts have no growth period. Once they successfully transform, they will be in their final form. In other words, unless they can kill a number of nightmare beasts equal to the number of newly generated nightmare beasts every day, there will only be more and more nightmare beasts.

In fact, this is exactly in line with the current situation. The number of nightmare beasts has been increasing in recent years, and the frequency of the appearance of alien space has also increased. This is because the training system for aliens has gradually taken shape, and the damage caused is not as much as when the nightmare beasts first appeared, so everyone ignored this problem.

Thinking of this, he looked at Su Bei thoughtfully: "Are you exploring this issue because you realized in advance that the Nightmare Beasts are becoming more and more numerous?"

"That's right." Su Bei lazily leaned back in his chair and snapped his fingers, half-truthfully admitting, "I did it to save the world!"

Everyone decisively chose to ignore his boastful words. Lan Subing suddenly remembered something else: "By the way, I think I know why Zhao Xiaoyu's ability was so important after it changed."

After hearing what he said, Su Bei also began to think about the logic. Soon he suddenly realized that Zhao Xiaoyu's new ability was [Happiness]. This ability that can make people feel happy just happens to be very restraining of things like resentment. I'm afraid that once the nightmare beast feels happiness, it will disappear immediately, which is more powerful than purification.

Su Bei couldn't help but wonder, if Zhao Xiaoyu's ability could be extended to the whole world, then if he released it once a day, would there be no new nightmare beasts appearing?

But the problem is that her mental strength is very weak, which is something she is born with and is very difficult to change. Damn the author, knowing that there is something wrong with the world, he still blocked a good way out.

But the truth is, even if her mental strength is strong, it is difficult to do so. Even the most powerful psychic today may not be able to make the range of supernatural powers cover the entire world.

Speaking of which, Principal Wu Di is known as the number one person in the world of supernatural powers. I wonder if any of the abilities he possesses can be expanded to the whole world.

Another new piece of knowledge I learned for free this time is that after death, the psychic will turn into a high-level nightmare beast, which is also surprising. No wonder even almost useless psychics need to be enrolled in training, because they are obviously afraid that they will be accidentally killed by nightmare beasts and then directly become high-level nightmare beasts.

"Tell me, when a psychic becomes a high-level nightmare beast, does he have any memories of his previous life?" Lan Subing suddenly asked after everyone was silent for a while.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Tianming shook his head: "I don't think there is any. Even if there is, it is just some bad memory fragments. Otherwise, why don't they ever look for it?"

Wu Mingbai shared the same view: "It is true that nightmare beasts definitely have no memories of their previous lives, but I think if someone saw them and they were familiar with them in their previous lives, they might recognize them."

Seeing everyone looking at him, he explained, "There are many high-level nightmare beasts with humanoid shapes. Those without faces are fine, but for those with faces, what do you think their faces are based on? They must be based on their appearance when they were alive. Even if they are ordinary people who become nightmare beasts, I feel they will retain some of their habits from their previous lives."

Just like the nightmare beasts they encountered before, they would more or less show some of their own characteristics, and perhaps those characteristics were the same as they had when they were alive.

"In this case, the existence of the Nightmare Beast is not entirely a bad thing." Lan Subing said with some emotion.

Although nightmare beasts are just the product of resentment, they also carry a part of human beings. Generally speaking, after death, dust returns to the earth, but if there are remnants of such resentment, it is a kind of comfort to the living to some extent.

However, this did not prevent them from destroying the nightmare beasts. The sporadic benefits were not enough to offset their endless harm. Although it was a bit like saying that it would not hurt if the knife did not fall on oneself, at least for now, several people were more inclined to destroy the nightmare beasts rather than coexist peacefully with them.

Unlike all of them, Su Bei was suddenly enlightened by Lan Subing's words. He finally knew what the leader of the "Black Flash" organization was researching! Probably how to turn the nightmare beast back into a human.

And there is no doubt that the nightmare beast he wants to turn back into a human is his wife, Mo Xiaotian's grandmother!

A nightmare beast that has the characteristics of a lover when he or she was alive and is definitely the transformed lover is definitely enough to make a person who is deeply in love give up everything just to resurrect the lover.

This can explain why Grandpa told Mo Xiaotian that grandma would be back soon, because in his eyes, their experiment would be successful sooner or later. As long as they could successfully turn the nightmare beast back into a human, grandma would naturally come back.

It is true that his conclusion is completely unfounded and based almost entirely on conjecture. However, based on Su Bei's experience of reading comics for so many years, this conjecture has an accuracy rate of 80%.

The protagonist of a boys' comic may not necessarily have a love story, but in boys' comics, love is an eternal topic.

The departure of my grandmother, combined with the research objectives of the Black Flash organization, is probably the biggest connection.

It's just a pity... Su Bei sighed. He had already asked "Comic Consciousness", it was impossible to turn the nightmare beast back into a human being, they were doomed to fail. If this goal really had a chance of success, he would join the villain camp without hesitation.

After staying in the school for a day, on the next morning, Su Bei remembered that he had to share the prop left behind by the Cloud Nightmare Beast after it committed suicide with Jiang Tianming and the others.

This prop was obtained by them together, so he would naturally not keep it all to himself.

The four of them gathered together, and looked at the small ball of cotton on the table. Finally, Lan Subing spoke hesitantly: "What is the use of this thing?"

"Why don't we ask the teacher?" Jiang Tianming said. There was no need to hide this kind of prop from the teacher. After all, the other party knew that the Cloud Nightmare Beast committed suicide in front of them, and they would definitely guess that they had obtained the prop that the other party had transformed into.

This was the best way, and the other three had no objection, so they went to find Meng Huai together. Because the three of them were still in school, the head teacher couldn't just leave.

"This item..." Meng Huai looked at the cotton-like item in his hand, "I'm going to try it out. You guys come over and see how to understand an item."

As he spoke, he took the four of them to a special laboratory, first placed the prop in a box with a transparent bottom, and then transferred it into a metal cube, the other side of which was connected to a computer.

Meng Huai explained as he did it: "This is a machine specifically used to identify ingredients. It can roughly identify the type of energy contained in this item."

After a while, the data was uploaded and the result was displayed on the computer - "70% celestial power, 30% summoning power, expected number of uses: unlimited."

Meng Huai thought about it thoughtfully, took out the cotton again and left it on the table. He opened a program on the computer, pressed a few keys quickly, and then left the laboratory with Su Bei and the other four.

As soon as they walked out of the door, a robot came out of the metal cabinet against the wall. Seeing the robot through the glass, the four people were shocked and looked at Meng Huai.

Meng Huai glanced at them with disdain: "Why are you so surprised? The modern world doesn't allow us to use any high-tech means. Sometimes, supernatural tools are very dangerous. If we do experiments directly, there is a high possibility of problems. Of course, it is safer to use this kind of robot."

Su Bei was speechless. He had to say that the supernatural world always gave him a sense of being out of touch with the world, a sense of antiquity and independence. Now that he saw the robots appearing in the school, he finally felt that the supernatural world was indeed living in the modern world.

Not only him, Jiang Tianming and the other two also felt the same way. This robot really made them both surprised and disillusioned, and their mood was very torn.

The robot first tried to tear the cotton into pieces, but as soon as it did so, a bolt of lightning suddenly shot out from the torn gap in the cotton, and then it recovered.

"It turns out that this is the function!" Wu Mingbai said half surprised and half understood. This item was originally brought to them by the nightmare beast that can control the weather, so it is reasonable for it to have the ability to control the weather.

Unlike the surprised humans standing outside, the robot was not surprised. It just continued to repeat the previous actions, tearing, splitting lightning, tearing, splitting lightning...

After repeating this several times, everyone could clearly see that the cotton had become hard. It couldn't be bent, and naturally the lightning couldn't be released. Counting the number of times, it was released five times in total. In other words, this prop can release a maximum of five lightning bolts at a time.

Because the computer said before that this item can be used an unlimited number of times, so everyone is not worried that it will lose its ability due to such an experiment. If nothing unexpected happens, this item should be the kind with a CD.

Then the robot started to experiment again. It first threw cotton on the ground. But it didn't work. Then it threw it into the sky. It didn't work either. Until it rubbed the cotton, it suddenly turned black. Then a dark cloud the size of a crystal chandelier appeared in the sky, and then it began to rain.

The more he kneaded the cotton, the heavier the rain became. It took a full ten minutes for it to stop. After it stopped, Meng Huai took out his phone and controlled the robot to detect the composition of the rain.

Soon a new report was generated on his mobile phone, showing that the rainwater was just ordinary rainwater, not so clean, but drinkable.

After studying it for a while, I finally discovered the greatest use of this prop. When you roll it into a ball and throw it into the air, the cotton can turn into the sun!

Yes, it is the little sun you see in the Sunny Day Room. Although its power is smaller than that of the Sunny Day Room, it can still cause tons of damage if thrown at someone's face.

Compared with the other two functions, this one is probably the most lethal. However, it will enter the CD time after being released once, and it seems that the CD should not be short.

Of course, the lightning is also very lethal. According to calculations, the voltage of the lightning is 40 volts. You should know that more than 36 volts is enough to kill a person. 40 volts is still very lethal to those who are not prepared.

After all the tests were completed, Meng Huai reminded them not to forget to get out of school as soon as possible, and then I left. The four of them were left staring at each other in bewilderment, not knowing how to distribute the props.

"How about using points?" Jiang Tianming suggested, "Whoever wants this item can take it, and then give the equivalent points to the other three people."

As soon as Jiang Tianming and the other two looked at Su Bei at the same time. Although they had accumulated a lot of points after passing the midterm exam, Su Bei undoubtedly had the most points. He was truly the points-rich man among all of them.

However, Su Bei just shrugged and said, "This item is of no use to me. Just give me the points."

He was not being sarcastic, he really didn't need this item. Although the ability to turn into the sun was very attractive, after studying some of the functions of the big pointer, Su Bei was not short of offensive means. If this item had defensive means, he would be tempted.
