Chapter 126

Hearing this, Mo Xiaotian's expression suddenly changed.

Su Bei couldn't help but curled his lips slightly. Letting the boss and the saint of the "Black Flash" organization live near the "Infinite Power Academy" is quite interesting.

But Mo Xiaotian obviously didn't find it interesting. He quickly shook his head and said, "No need, we've already found a new place to live!"

Then he quickly changed the subject: "By the way, Feng Lan, when can you go out? I can't wait to visit your home!"

"It officially starts at nine o'clock." Feng Lan looked at the time, "There is still half an hour left, then you can move freely."

At this time, Si Zhaohua came. He did not come alone. Behind him were Ai Baozhu, Zhou Renjie, and a handsome middle-aged man with the same long silver hair. The man looked at least 80% like Si Zhaohua, and they both wore the same black dress.

There were some people behind them, some of whom should be members of the Feng family. After sending the four people away, they asked Feng Lan to go out and chat.

Si Zhaohua introduced them to the middle-aged man next to him: "Father, these are my classmates in Class S."

People also greeted him in due time.

Si Zhaohua's father was obviously very smart. He knew that this was the territory of young people, so he didn't say much. He simply exchanged greetings with everyone and then left.

"Why did your father come with you?" Zhao Xiaoyu, who had been sitting in the corner for a long time, asked with some confusion.

From Zhou Renjie's previous performance, it can be seen that if you want to participate in the Feng family's open day event, you must pay a lot. Normally, one person is enough, so why did they have two people?

"My father and I have different goals," Si Zhaohua explained. "My father comes here to make connections and show the status of our Si family. He comes here every year. I was invited by Feng Lan to come here to gain knowledge. My father will not stop coming just because I come, unless I take the position of the head of the family."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Renjie showed his presence: "Don't judge Uncle Si with your superficial knowledge. Compared with the benefits, this little effort is nothing. Only poor people like you will be so careful with money."

"Does your Uncle Si know that you are working so hard to build momentum for him outside?" Zhao Xiaoyu responded without hesitation. Now that she had enough confidence, her words became more firm.

And she was indeed amazing. With just one sentence, Zhou Renjie dared not say anything more. What a joke! If Uncle Si knew that he despised the poor and loved the rich in his name, he would probably not have this Uncle Si anymore.

Ai Baozhu glanced at him with some disdain: "Don't pay attention to him, Uncle Si is not that kind of person."

"What kind of person is Uncle Si?" Li Shu, who was brought over by the waiter, asked with a smile. This question was very insidious. Even if it was a good thing, it was very impolite for a younger person to comment on an elder.

Although Ai Baozhu always looks arrogant, she is actually very good at etiquette.

"Just curious." Li Shu replied.

Ai Baozhu, who was wearing a pink evening gown, fanned herself lightly with the pink fan, looking arrogant and saying in a firm tone, "Then don't be curious."

"Pfft!" Zhao Xiaoyu couldn't help but laugh, "Well said, stop being curious. Don't you know that curiosity kills the cat?"

Li Shu was not angry and found a seat to sit down.

Soon Lan Subing also came, she was also wearing a dress. Not just the two of them, in fact all the girls were wearing dresses, and the boys were also wearing formal clothes. After all, it was a formal occasion, so they still had to pay attention to their clothing.

Looking at their skirts, Su Bei sighed slightly: "It will be very inconvenient for you to move around today dressed like this."

"What action?" Qi Huang walked in while he was talking. Now everyone in Class S was gathered. "We have to go shopping today. It's not a big deal except that wearing high heels is a bit troublesome."

Feng Lan closed the door, blocking out the sight and sound from outside, and then said with a serious expression: "Su Bei is right. I'm sorry that I also predicted it yesterday. Something will happen here starting at 5 o'clock this afternoon. But I have arranged a safe place. As long as you go there before 5 o'clock and stay there until everything is over, you should be safe."

"What happened?" Jiang Tianming frowned and turned to look at him.

"I don't know." Feng Lan shook her head, "But I predicted chaos and fighting, and I also saw fragments of the future where guards were fighting in the manor."

This was even more confusing, so Jiang Tianming asked everyone what they were confused about: "Why not just cancel today's event or end it before five o'clock?"

Judging from what Feng Lan said just now, he clearly wanted to continue with his activities, and had no intention of telling anyone else about the incident.

After a moment of silence, Feng Lan said calmly, "Because it was a civil strife."

After hearing this, everyone understood immediately. If there was internal turmoil, the news could not be told to too many people. Otherwise, if there were enemies among the people who told the news, everyone would be in danger. They could not be prevented from coming, otherwise the enemy would also realize that there was a problem.

In other words, they had absolutely nothing to do with the Fenglan family, and because of their schoolmate friendship, he was willing to reveal the news in advance so that they could evacuate safely.

"Do you need our help?" After silently receiving the message for a while, Jiang Tianming asked.

Apparently he wasn't just being polite, because right after asking, he added, "We should be considered friends. If we are friends, we shouldn't make excuses for this kind of thing. If you need help, just say it."

Feng Lan had helped him a lot in various activities before, and Jiang Tianming had always wanted to find a chance to repay her. Now that he finally found the chance, he certainly wouldn't give up.

"Add me in!" Mo Xiaotian immediately joined in.

Wu Mingbai shrugged and said, "Since Ah Jiang is here, I will definitely come too."

"And me." Lan Subing raised her hand weakly.

Si Zhaohua was more powerful, and had good reasons: "My father is here, I can't leave early."

"Then we two will stay too." Upon hearing what he said, Ai Baozhu said without hesitation. She definitely couldn't leave Si Zhaohua here alone.

Zhou Renjie could only acquiesce. If he went back now, Ai Baozhu would quarrel with him. When Uncle Si knew the truth, he would not be happy with him.

There is no doubt that Qi Huang was unwilling to leave: "You know my character. Now that I know about this, I will not stay out of it."

Mu Tieren said firmly: "I am the class monitor. I cannot leave my classmates when they are in trouble."

That's right, after the final exam results came out, Mu Tieren was successfully elected as the class monitor. In fact, Meng Huai originally wanted him to be the class monitor, after all, he could be said to be the most reliable and least troublesome student in Class S.

It was only because the wooden iron man's strength was hard to convince everyone that he had not made a decision. But his performance in the final exam was enough to convince everyone, and he saved many classmates in the exam. Meng Huai immediately appointed him as the class monitor.

"...I can too, if you really need me." Ling You said with a cold expression, but she also knew that her special abilities were not suitable for this kind of occasion.

Li Shu glanced at Jiang Tianming, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips: "I can also come to help, my special ability should be quite useful."

Seeing that so many classmates decided to stay and help, Zhao Xiaoyu, who originally wanted to leave early, also chose to stay: "Take me with you."

With so many people supporting her, she felt that Feng Lan would not lose this internal struggle. In this case, staying here could earn her a favor from the Feng family, so why not do it?

Wu Jin, who had the least presence, seemed to have struggled for a long time, and finally lowered his head and said, "I can ask my dad to come."

Finally, Su Bei was the only one who hadn't expressed his opinion. He looked left and right, knowing that this was definitely a plot point, so he shrugged and said, "Don't worry about me. I will leave when it's time to leave."

Seeing that all the classmates decided to stay and help her, Feng Lan stood there in a daze, with a momentary daze on her face.

After a long while, he opened his dry lips and replied softly, "Thank you..."

Because Jiang Tianming and his friends chose to stay and help Feng Lan, Feng Lan began to tell them the specific intelligence he had gathered this time: "Yesterday I predicted that there would be a fight in this event, and then I saw a fragment of the future where my cousin attacked me from behind. I suspect that my cousin and the forces behind her are trying to take advantage of this opportunity to control the Feng family."

"Tell me about your cousin's specific situation and the power behind her." Jiang Tianming asked calmly.

"My cousin's ability is [Astronomical Prophecy], which allows her to predict future situations based on astronomical phenomena. She is also the only one in our generation, besides me, who has awakened the ability of prediction." Feng Lan paused and continued, "My cousin is now working at the Meteorological Observatory. Her family has always said that she is not doing her job properly, but my cousin is very persistent. I don't know why she suddenly did this."

"You have a very good relationship with your cousin." Wu Jin suddenly raised his head, looked at him with his gray eyes hidden under his purple hair, and said affirmatively.

Su Bei also noticed this. If they were not close, how could Feng Lan know so much about her cousin with her personality?

Feng Lan lowered her eyes, neither admitting nor denying, and continued, "She is backed by my uncle's family. My uncle could have been the head of the family, but because I awakened the ability of [Prophecy], I became the head of the family directly. Now I am only temporarily managing the affairs of the family in the name of deputy head."

It sounds like they really have a very good reason to seize the throne. My father almost became the clan leader, and my cousin also has the ability to predict the future, but she can only be inferior to others... No wonder Feng Lan was convinced that they did this to control the Feng family after seeing the image of her cousin attacking her.

However, knowing that Feng Lan has the ability of [Prophecy], Su Bei does not think it is a smart move to do so. Feng Lan has many chances to escape, but for them, as long as they can take over the family, they don't care whether Feng Lan will escape or not. Anyway, even if he comes back in the end, he will just walk into a trap.

"We have a general understanding of the situation. Let's go and help you capture your cousin now," Zhou Renjie immediately made a suggestion. "With so many of us, it shouldn't be a problem to capture your cousin, let alone her parents."

Hearing this, Feng Lan glanced at him, thought for a moment, and asked with genuine doubt: "Are your family members also so easy to catch?"

Zhou Renjie was choked by his words, but he also understood what Feng Lan meant. As his cousin's family came from a noble family, especially a prophetic family like the Feng family, they had more life-saving items than he did. Therefore, the method he just mentioned was almost impossible to succeed.

After figuring it out, Zhou Renjie sat down again in a sullen manner: "Then what do you say we should do?"

"Personally, I want to turn the tables on them." Although Feng Lan could hear his weird tone, she was not angry. She just said her thoughts seriously, "They chose this day to launch the attack. They must want to take advantage of the guests who came today. Originally, I wanted to use props to see what they were up to, but since you are here, I think we can just turn the tables on them."

It is rare to see Feng Lan say so many words in one breath, and everyone has a magical feeling.

What he meant by "playing the enemy's game against him" was that everyone should follow the enemy's will. However, since they already knew the whole story, it was easy for them to avoid the plan.

That's true, but it's too passive. Although Feng Lan could predict the danger in advance, he knew too little. If they just followed their conspiracy, they would probably not be able to save the situation in the end.

In comparison, Jiang Tianming and others prefer to take the initiative: "Show us a photo of your cousin's family, and we can find out more about them when we are free."

Hearing him say this, Feng Lan hesitated. He knew that taking the initiative to investigate would be more likely to find a way out than passively accepting it, but that was also much more dangerous.

If they were just ordinary guests, the enemy would not dare to do anything because of their identities. But once they openly supported Feng Lan, they would definitely be targeted.

Si Zhaohua patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, just leave it to us. Unfortunately, according to past practice, father and the others should have already started talking. Otherwise, I can directly tell father about your family's affairs and let him help."

If they hadn't called Si's father over, Si Zhaohua wouldn't have told his father. Because this was an internal fight within the Feng family, he could help as a friend, but he couldn't cooperate with Feng Lan on behalf of the family.

But now that my father is here too, the situation is different. At the very least, it is a mistake, at the most, it is an attempt to harm the head of the Si family, and this is something the Si family can tolerate.

But now that they were all together, there must be someone from my cousin's side among them. If Si Zhaohua rashly went to look for someone and aroused suspicion, it would be a rude awakening.

There was no signal on the mountain, so he couldn't contact his family directly. Si Zhaohua sighed, and suddenly remembered something, looking at Wu Jin: "You said before that you could contact your father, so why not just..."

"No." Before he could finish, Feng Lan calmly retorted, "The formation at the entrance of our mountain gate is very sophisticated. Unless you have a token and know the route, it is almost impossible to get up, and the guards will know that someone has entered the mountain gate without permission."

Si Zhaohua had really forgotten this before, but he remembered it right after hearing this. He frowned and said, "It looks like we can only rely on ourselves then."

"Let's go out and take a look first." Jiang Tianming thought for a moment and said, "Since they want to trap us, they must have set up checkpoints everywhere. Finding those checkpoints in advance will also help us escape later."

No one had any objection to this. After all, it was still early for their conspiracy, so we could indeed walk around without worrying too much about danger.

Su Bei had no intention of helping properly. With so many protagonists here, there was no need for him. He knew very well that something bad was bound to happen to Feng Lan's family this time, but he still insisted on coming here. He had only one purpose, and that was to go to Feng family's library.

This is the cake that Feng Lan drew for him before. It is said that there are various documents and books in their family’s library. If Su Bei wants to know something, he can probably find it in there.

Su Bei wanted to know a lot. He had searched for information about the Nightmare World in the school library, but found that there were no relevant books. The Nightmare World was only mentioned as an extracurricular topic by the teachers, and then disappeared.

He had already asked Feng Lan where his family's library was, so Su Bei went straight to the library as soon as he walked out the door. After a few steps, he turned around and looked at Wu Jin next to him: "Why are you following me?"

Wu Jin had been following him quietly, but when he heard this he looked up at him and said, "I think maybe I can play a role in the end by working with you."

He himself could not think of what his superpowers could do for a while, mainly because of the special nature of superpowers, Wu Jin rarely used and practiced them. He thought that maybe being with Su Bei, who knew about his superpowers, would give him a chance to use them.

Su Bei didn't have any objections. Wu Jin's presence was very weak when he didn't lift his hair, so it didn't matter even if he followed him. Moreover, he wasn't afraid of others seeing what he was looking up, and the other party could help him find information.

Coming to the library, it is a very large wooden tower with nine floors. The tower is full of neatly arranged books, some of which are very old, but still well preserved.

It is not difficult to find what you want in such a huge library. Fortunately, Su Bei did not come alone. He looked at Wu Jin and said, "Let's split up. I will search from the top down, and you search from the bottom up. I need books about nightmare beasts that record content we don't know, and... books about the origin of superpowers."

The latter was something he had just thought of. He had originally only wanted to look up information related to the Nightmare Beast, but then Su Bei realized that the Psychic was also closely related to the Nightmare Beast. In his memory, the Psychic was discovered almost at the same time as the Nightmare Beast, so the two were definitely closely connected.

"I understand." Wu Jin was very easy to deal with because he never asked too many questions. He nodded and started looking for books. Su Bei climbed the stairs all the way to the top floor.

Although the Feng family is a family of supernatural powers, the books in the library are not entirely related to supernatural powers. There are also many out-of-print ancient books and some calligraphy and paintings by famous people.

After searching the ninth floor without finding anything related to superpowers, Su Bei was about to go to the next floor to look for it, but suddenly he raised his eyebrows and stopped where he was.

Generally speaking, the higher up the building, the more confidential things should be. For a family with super powers, it is no doubt that only things related to super powers can be called confidential.

If that's the case, how come the ninth floor, the highest floor of the library, contains only books for ordinary people?

Thinking of this, Su Bei's mouth curled up slightly. He moved the pointer slightly to increase the luck value.

After using it so many times, he no longer needs to pull the pointer all the way to the right every time. That is something that people who are not proficient in mastering supernatural powers would do. Now he can accurately control the amount of luck he needs, thus saving mental energy.

After his luck value was increased, Su Bei walked around the ninth floor again. When he reached a certain place, he accidentally knocked a book off. Su Bei's eyes moved slightly, and he bent down to pick up the book.

After flipping through it, he found that the book was just a copy of famous calligraphy, nothing special. He thought about it and looked at the place where the book was originally located. Because the book fell, there was now an empty groove.

With just one glance, Su Bei understood the mystery. There was actually a gap between the bookshelves behind the groove. It was more like a gap in the middle of the door than the intersection of the two bookshelves.

Although he discovered the secret, Su Bei didn't know how to open the door. It was obvious that violence wouldn't work. First, he didn't have any special violent abilities. Second, it was obvious that if he damaged the library, the alarm would be triggered immediately.

There must be something that can open this door directly. Thinking of this, Su Bei's eyes fell on the book in his hand again.

He looked at the side of the book and found a clue. There was only one page on the side of the book that was slightly darker in color, and it looked like it was often read. When he opened it, he saw a line of original poetry.

Could it be that the voice-controlled Su Bei read the poem uncertainly, but nothing happened. He read the poem again, this time very seriously, thinking about all the routines he could think of in his mind, and then laughed out loud.

This is actually an acrostic poem! The beginning of each line is - "As I wish, as I wish, and as I wish."

"As I wish, as I wish." Su Bei chanted the slogan, and after a few seconds, seeing no movement, he began to wonder if he had guessed wrong. But he suddenly remembered something, and hesitantly added, "Show your spirit quickly."

“Boom boom—”

The next second, a crack appeared in the middle of the bookshelf, allowing Su Bei to see the space inside. It turned out to be a secret room, which was also filled with books.

Seeing that the door actually opened, Su Bei was really confused. Who on earth came up with this password? It's so creative.

He walked in and randomly glanced at the titles of a few books, then his eyes lit up. The books hidden here were exactly what he wanted, and almost every one of them was related to the origin of the supernatural world.

But then Su Bei got into a dilemma. Which book should he read first? He had to know that he only had one day to read. He couldn't take the books out or take photos of them. From now until five o'clock in the afternoon, excluding lunch time, he could only read one book carefully or read two books in a hurry.

But there wasn't much information in either book, so instead of reading two books, it was better to read one carefully. He had to find a book that had the most comprehensive information about the birth of nightmare beasts and mutants. It didn't need to be too detailed, but it had to explain it clearly.

After determining the goal, Su Bei quickly browsed through the titles of each book. After five minutes, he finally found a book that was more in line with the goal - "A Study on the Birth of Nightmare Beasts".
