Chapter 127

After getting the book he wanted, Su Bei did not start reading immediately, but went downstairs to find Wu Jin. He still remembered that he had arranged for him before, and now that the goal had been achieved, there was no need to bother him anymore.

After going down to the second floor and searching for a while, Su Bei returned to the third floor when he saw no one. Judging from his speed of searching for books, Wu Jin must have already searched the first floor, so he could save time by starting from the second floor.

Sure enough, not far from the staircase on the third floor, Su Bei saw Wu Jin's figure: "Wu Jin, I have found the book you want. It's on the ninth floor. Do you want to come and read it?"

Wu Jin didn't have anything to do, so reading a book would be fine. He nodded and said, "Okay."

The two of them went to the ninth floor together. When they saw the opened secret room, Wu Jin glanced at Su Bei. However, he did not ask any more questions and walked in calmly.

The two of them found a corner and sat down to read. The morning passed quickly. Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, Su Bei let out a long sigh and closed the book: "Let's go."

On the other side, Wu Jin was so absorbed in reading that he completely forgot about the time. Of course, it was mainly because Su Bei was here. Anyway, he had already given the decision-making power to Su Bei, so naturally he was too lazy to think.

After walking out of the secret room, the two looked back at the open bookshelf and stared at each other. After waiting for two seconds, Wu Jin asked suspiciously: "You don't know how to close it, do you?"

Su Bei was silent. He really didn't know. He only remembered the slogan "Ruyi Ruyi", and had no impression of anything else. He had read the poem several times before, and the hidden password in it was definitely only this one, and there was no way he could find any other.

If there was no second password in the book, how would he find a way to close the bookshelf? This door must be the same as the one that opened it, requiring a password to close automatically.

Su Bei walked over and tried to push the bookshelf, but he couldn't move it at all. It seemed that the bookshelf had a supernatural power and could only be closed with a command.

He closed his eyes and decided to look for the password in the book. After all, it was the only clue he had.

Seeing him take out a book, Wu Jin came over and read the title softly: "Maoshan Calligraphy and Painting"...

Su Bei seemed to be suddenly enlightened. He quickly turned to the page with the poem and started reading it aloud. When he finished reading the poem, the bookshelf closed again.

Seeing this, he smiled. Fortunately, he was right. He had already read the poem once before trying to open the bookshelf, so he subconsciously ignored this possibility. But when he heard Wu Jin read the title of the book, Su Bei suddenly had an idea and realized that reading the poem again now would not conflict with the previous reading.

"...Awesome." After watching his series of operations, Wu Jin silently gave a thumbs up.

Su Beichong winked at him and said, "Let's go, it's time for the Hongmen Feast."

Although Feng Lan had said that their action plan should be after five o'clock in the afternoon, Su Bei absolutely did not believe that this lunch that could gather everyone would go smoothly.

Hearing what he said, Wu Jin sighed: "Why not just not go? I'm not that hungry."

Seeing that there was no one around, he lifted his hair slightly to let his eyes breathe: "I'll go back to the library to read."

As usual, Su Bei was stunned for a moment by his appearance, and felt helpless. I have seen him so many times, why do I still get stunned every time I see him? With this face, even if he has no acting skills or strength, he can probably easily play in the entertainment industry.

Although he was somewhat moved by the other party's words, Su Bei still shook his head: "How can I miss such a lively event?"

It was known that the official time for the incident was 5pm, so even if they tried some tricks at noon, it would not be effective immediately or cause a big disturbance. In this case, there was nothing to be afraid of.

On the contrary, if the two of them did not go, they would not only miss the possible plot, but also arouse the suspicion of the enemy. Therefore, after Su Bei finished speaking, he forcibly dragged Wu Jin to the restaurant without hesitation.

Wu Jin hurriedly let his hair down, and returned to his silent look. Then he lowered his voice and said with some resentment: "Just watch the show by yourself, why drag me into it?"

"If one person is missing, the play will not be complete." Su Bei said with a smile.

However, the real reason was that he himself was forced to eat, so how could he let Wu Jin go out alone to slack off? But there was no need to tell him this little thought.

When we arrived at the restaurant, there were already quite a few people inside. It was called a restaurant, but it was more like a banquet hall. The tables around were filled with food, but the people coming and going rarely stopped to eat. They would just find someone to chat with while holding a glass of red wine.

Su Bei obviously had no desire to talk to anyone. He took a plate of steak, a knife and fork, and ate lunch in a corner. Looking at the people coming and going, he had a thought and his supernatural power was activated immediately.

As expected, the little pointers on the heads of almost everyone present were leaning to the right, indicating that something bad was going to happen to them. However, there were still a few people whose little pointers were leaning to the left, and Su Bei's eyes naturally fell on them, looking for the difference between them and the others.

It is not difficult to find that none of these people have red wine in their hands, while others have a glass of red wine in their hands, taking a sip from time to time.

It seems that there is something wrong with the red wine...

Seeing Wu Jin, who also didn't take any wine and was quietly eating fried rice, Su Bei suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but chuckle. It was him who wasn't careful enough. In fact, he should have thought of the danger in the wine when he saw so many people holding red wine.

The author will definitely not let the protagonists get into trouble, so it is best that the protagonists cannot touch the problematic things. What is the thing that the protagonists who are also at the banquet are unlikely to touch? It can only be alcohol, because minors cannot drink alcohol.

"What are you laughing at?" Wu Jin's eyes fell on Su Bei, and then he followed his gaze to look at the crowd, "What did you find?"

Anyone who has been with Su Bei for a long time knows that if he suddenly laughs, someone's life or death is in danger.

Su Bei was in a good mood and took a piece of steak: "This dish is good."

It's not bad without any additives.

Seeing that he didn't answer the question, Wu Jin didn't ask any more questions. But he had already decided to stay away from this obviously problematic banquet, and he quickly ate a few bites of fried rice and said, "I'm done."

Seeing how eager he was to go back, Su Bei found it a little funny. He quickly finished the last bit of food, then naturally walked to the red wine barrel and took a look around. Then he nodded and said, "Let's go back and continue reading."

Anyway, he has already discovered the secret, and there is nothing new to learn by staying any longer. Leaving now will not only give him more time to read, but also prevent him from encountering certain plot points. Even if Wu Jin doesn't say anything, he won't stay for too long.

However, before they could do anything, they saw Jiang Tianming and his group walking in from outside, obviously coming here to eat as well.

Because he had intended to avoid the plot, Su Bei arrived a little earlier and just arrived at 11 o'clock. Unexpectedly, he ran into Jiang Tianming and the others despite being in such a hurry.

Jiang Tianming's eyesight and observation skills were unquestionable, and he spotted Su Bei almost immediately. Seeing him and a group of classmates coming straight towards him, Su Bei sighed, "Trouble is coming."

Wu Jin didn't understand at first, but when he saw Jiang Tianming and the others, he vaguely understood what he meant.

"What a coincidence, we meet here! Did you find anything this morning?" Mo Xiaotian rushed out and asked excitedly, "We found a lot of things!"

He often follows Jiang Tianming and the others when they are on the move, and becomes the fourth person outside the main cast. According to the Subei Observation Forum, this guy is quite popular.

"What did you find?" Su Bei raised his eyebrows, looking as if it had nothing to do with him. "Aren't we here for a visit?"

Even so, what he did in the morning was not what a visiting guest should do. What kind of guest would destroy the host's library?

However, Su Bei certainly did not have this self-awareness. While speaking, he deliberately observed the fate compasses of these people. Everyone's little pointer was on the left, and there was no problem with the big pointer. There should be no failure in this mission again.

"So you want to listen?" Jiang Tianming came up, "our findings."

If they were facing others, they would naturally need to keep the things they discovered secret. However, if they were facing classmates, there was no need to keep it secret, because they definitely could not be enemies.

But it was a different situation when facing Su Bei. The reason they didn't tell him directly was not because they were doubtful and didn't want to say it, but because Su Bei really might not want to listen, or he already knew it.

In fact, what Jiang Tianming didn't know was that Su Bei wanted to hear about this matter. He was not really omniscient and omnipotent. The more information he got, the more he could do. Although he might not need to do anything this time, it was always reassuring to know the inside story in advance.

But when Su Bei glanced at the podium that had already been prepared, he suddenly felt that they were wasting their time.

Judging from the state of the podium, I'm afraid a host will go up to give a speech soon. Based on this incident and this time, Su Bei can guarantee that something will happen during the speech. At the very least, there will be chaos, and at the worst, many people will be trapped.

But no matter which one it was, he had no desire to participate. Su Bei patted Jiang Tianming on the shoulder and said, "Can you tell me the story next time we meet?"

After saying this, he faced the confused gazes of Jiang Tianming and others, winked at Wu Jin, and the two of them quickly left the banquet hall.

Leaving the banquet hall, Su Bei looked back. Wu Jin turned back with him, thought for a moment and asked, "Should we wait here?"

"What are you waiting for?" Su Bei shrugged, "I'm going back to read."

The two returned to the library to continue reading. This time, Su Bei even closed the door after entering with a password. This way, if anything happened outside, he would not be disturbed. He could just go out at five o'clock.

Before he had finished reading for long, Su Bei heard the voice of "Comic Consciousness": "The King of Superpowers has been updated, please check it out."

Hearing this reminder, Su Bei paused while turning the pages. I didn't expect that the plot would be updated in two parts this time. It seems that there should be a lot of content to come.

But he had no intention of reading comics now. What was more important now was definitely reading books. After all, comics could be read at any time, but this book could only be read at Feng's house. As for comics, he would read them after everything was completely over.

The time spent reading passed in a flash, and by the time I finished reading the whole book, it was just four o'clock in the afternoon.

Su Bei rubbed his brows and took a long breath. Reading the first book in a breath is very energy-consuming, especially for a book that is more inclined towards popular science. But he must say that he did gain a lot from reading this time.

The book "A Study on the Birth of Nightmare Beasts" was written by a powerful psychic a hundred years ago. At that time, Nightmare Beasts had only just appeared for a short time. Although it was difficult to deal with them, it was also easier to trace their origins.

After the author felt that she was strong enough to deal with most nightmare beasts, she began to try to trace the source. She first entered the alien space and found a way to enter the nightmare world from the alien space.

From his description, Su Bei could sense that there were not many nightmare beasts in the nightmare world at that time. In other words, they did appear suddenly and began to accumulate, rather than accumulating for a long time and then coming to the real world because there were too many of them.

Although the author did not know that there would be more and more nightmare beasts in the future, he also guessed this. There are only so many nightmare beasts in the entire nightmare world, and it is obvious that they have not existed for a long time.

So he began to explore why the Nightmare appeared.

The next long paragraph is about how to explore, including but not limited to the theoretical part, the practical part and the research part... In order to determine the reliability of his research, Su Bei cannot skip this part.

It was not until the middle and later parts of the book that the author gradually explored the answer. According to his research, the appearance of nightmare beasts and the appearance of superpowers are directly related, and the two may have appeared at the same time.

There must be something wrong with this time point. Realizing this, the author began to look for major events that occurred before this time point. Soon he found that a week before that, the aviation administration had announced that a meteorite was about to fall to the earth. The trajectory of the meteorite landing was photographed, but in the end, no trace of the meteorite was found on the earth.

After many investigations, he determined that the birth of Nightmare Beasts and the appearance of mutants were all caused by this meteorite.

Su Bei felt that his guess was quite credible. After the author made this guess, he conducted several verifications and found that the meteorite did exist and should have landed on the ground but disappeared inexplicably.

It stands to reason that given the size of the meteorite, it would have been impossible for it to fall without being noticed.

Therefore, the author thinks that it is very likely that it caused huge changes to the planet and dissipated, so it did not appear.

But this guess... Su Bei sighed. Originally, he explored the origin of nightmare beasts in order to find a way to completely destroy them. But they appeared because of meteorites, so how can he travel back in time to intercept meteorites?

Maybe he should study how meteorites come, but if meteorites really come by chance, then his research will be in vain, and this approach will become completely unworkable.

In fact, if there are such possibilities, he will try to study them. But Su Bei thinks that given the author's personality, the setting in this regard is probably really a meteorite that fell unexpectedly from the sky, without any conspiracy or trickery. If he had some conspiracy or trickery in this regard, why would Su Bei need to find a way to save the world? Wouldn't it be enough to just leave it to the protagonist?

This clue was broken, so he could only try two other methods: either let humans and nightmare beasts coexist peacefully, or find a way to seal them in another dimension.

Let's not talk about the former, as for the latter, he has no idea at all. If it is possible to seal the nightmare beast in a different space, Su Bei doesn't believe that so many psychics have tried it before.

They must have tried but failed, so they could only let the situation continue to develop. It's not that he looks down on himself, but mainly because he is not a superpower with relevant superpowers. It's like an outsider saying that he wants to build a missile. Isn't that just a dream, even if he can become a top literary master.

His brows were furrowed, and he was lost in thought. Although he always said that he would give up on "comic consciousness", Su Bei would not give up until he was truly in despair.

But in this situation, he really had no idea. He could only think of a few ways to destroy the nightmare beast in a short period of time. These methods now seemed to have no solution. Could it be that there was really no hope?

"What's wrong with you?" Wu Jin's voice suddenly rang out, and Su Bei looked up and met his slightly worried grey eyes.

Wu Jin had never seen Su Bei so distressed, so he subconsciously felt that something big must have happened. But it was indeed a big deal, how could saving the world not be a big deal?

This kind of thing naturally cannot be shared with others. Su Bei shook his head and was about to answer that he was fine, but then he thought, what if asking can get some useful ideas?

Thinking of this, he chose his words carefully: "If I want to do something and I find that all the ways out have been blocked, what do you think I should do?"

Hearing this, Wu Jin also started to think. If it were him, what would he do in this situation? After thinking for a while, he suddenly looked at Su Bei and said, "Ask someone else for help."

If he really encountered a problem with no way out, Wu Jin thought that perhaps he would try to seek help from Su Bei.

This answer was naturally not what Su Bei wanted. Who could help with such a thing? If there was anyone who could destroy the Nightmare Beast, he would have done it himself and would not need his help at all.

……etc

Su Bei's eyes suddenly lit up! He discovered that there really was someone he could seek help from, and that the other person had the power to change the world, but he didn't realize it.

Yes, he was talking about comic readers!

He can change his own supernatural power, mental strength, power through comic forums... Then you, Stone Buddha, can also change the world through comic forums. If readers believe that the appearance of nightmare beasts caused by meteorite landing can be solved, then can this problem really be solved?

Once his thoughts became clear, ideas flooded into his mind like a tide. His brows relaxed: "You're right, I can seek help."

"Do you need my help?" Wu Jin asked quickly.

However, Su Bei shook his head and said, "It probably isn't necessary for now. You can continue reading. I need to think about it carefully."

He said he was just thinking about it, but in reality he was connecting with the "comic consciousness": "Can I use the readers to make them think that the meteorite can be solved, so that the meteorite can really be solved?"

After waiting for a long time without any response, he urged again: "Manga Consciousness, are you there?"

"…It should be possible, but the prerequisite is that you need to come up with a solution to the meteorite, and there should be no logical problems." "Comic consciousness" finally appeared and gave specific suggestions, "It is precisely because the author couldn't think of this point that he directly set the meteorite to fall from the sky by accident."

Hearing it say this, Su Bei's eyes flashed with a smile. What "Comic Consciousness" didn't know was that its answer not only answered Su Bei's original question, but also indirectly acknowledged that the meteorite landing was the reason for the change in the world and the appearance of the Nightmare Beast.

But it was a big project for him to think about how to solve the meteorite problem. First of all, he had to find a source for the meteorite, and then find a way to make it reappear. As long as the meteorite was reassembled, the nightmare beast and the supernatural power would disappear together.

After all the steps were figured out, he needed to design a plan to let Jiang Tianming see the book, or rather, see the contents of the book. Through his eyes, he would let the reader know about the meteorite, and then he could use his own account in conjunction with "The Prophet" to operate.

But I need to think about all these things after I return, so I am not in a hurry now. At least I have a direction, and Su Bei can be said to be at ease now.

What he feared most was not the complicated and tedious operation steps, but the fact that he could not even find the idea at the beginning. No matter how complicated the steps were, as long as he had enough patience and did them step by step, he would always be able to get it done in the end. But if he had no idea at all, then there was really nothing he could do.

Standing up and stretching, Su Bei looked at Wu Jin with a smile: "Let's go out and take a look. It should be chaotic outside now."

Wu Jin nodded, and the two of them put the books back and walked out of the secret room of the bookshelf. The library was still very quiet, with no one there. Those people probably didn't expect that someone would stay in the library to read books, so they didn't send anyone to guard or patrol.

Walking all the way to the door, I found that the security outside was indeed very tight. There were guards standing guard at several places, and their expressions were obviously a little nervous, as if they were afraid that someone would suddenly jump out and disrupt their plans.

At this time, there was a sudden noise in the distance, and it sounded like someone was fighting. The few people patrolling here also heard it, but they didn't intend to go over.

Su Bei understood immediately. It seemed that the people behind the scenes were well prepared. Although these people were nervous, they should have been ordered not to leave the station. This can effectively prevent the enemy from escaping during the chaos and waste some resources.

"What should we do?" Wu Jin asked, "Do you need me to help?"

His real ability is [Succubus], and it is easy for him to seduce a few people. But if this is the case, the secret cannot be kept secret, and his father may have to come forward to solve it later. If Wu Jin did not know that Su Bei did not have the ability to control others, he would never have proposed this method.

However, Su Bei was certainly prepared: "No, here, use this."

Hearing this, Wu Jin looked down and found that he actually had two invisibility talismans in his hand. He immediately felt a little annoyed: "If I had known earlier, I should have exchanged a few of them."

Su Bei didn't say anything, but he knew that the reason why he trusted the invisibility charm so much was because it was processed by "comic consciousness". If it was just a school invisibility charm, it would be easily discovered by professional instruments.
