Chapter 13
The red-haired boy suddenly turned around and scared Su Bei. If he hadn't been able to concentrate enough, he would have almost screamed. Isn't this a boy's comic? How did it suddenly turn into a horror movie?
Now it was obviously too late to retract his expression, as his surprise was clearly seen by the dangerous guy opposite him.
Considering that the murderer chose to kill him just because they saw each other in the same toilet, he was afraid that if Red Hair became suspicious of him, he would face a new round of death threat.
And this time there will be no "comic consciousness" to save him.
What should he do? He has to think of a way to answer the other party's question quickly!
In a flash, Su Bei maintained a stiff look of surprise, but forced a hint of joy: "You seem to be a classmate of Class A."
You have to know that there are only 20 people in Class A of their grade. It is reasonable for someone from another class to be surprised when he suddenly realizes that the person who just talked to him is a psychic from Class A.
The feeling of danger disappeared instantly, and the red-haired boy put on a smile again, nodding with a little boyish pride: "Yes! I want to be the strongest esper, of course in Class A!"
You guessed it!
Su Bei's clenched heart suddenly relaxed. Of course, he had never seen this red-haired guy, and he didn't know which class he was in. But he thought that as an undercover agent planted by an organization in the supernatural academy, his supernatural power must be very strong. Only by climbing higher can you get more intelligence. So the red-haired guy was probably assigned to Class A.
Fortunately, his bet was right. Not only did he successfully clear the suspect, but he also seemed to have won the other party's favor.
Once the crisis was over, Su Bei's mind became active again.
Now he had two choices. One was to take advantage of the other party's good mood, quickly brush him off, and then go back to his room to rest. The other was to take this opportunity to make friends with the other party.
There is nothing wrong with the first option, but if he chooses the second option and makes friends with an undercover agent of a dangerous organization, what will happen to him?
Think about the downside first: the organization might target him, the suspicion he has to face on a daily basis will increase, and if the red-haired guy is exposed, the reader will be suspicious and disgusted with himself for making friends with the villain.
Then there are the benefits: there is a high possibility of obtaining intelligence about the organization, there is a new hidden thread in the identity that can be exploited, and in case the red-haired man is exposed, the reader will be curious and want to explore himself about making friends with the villain.
This may seem like a difficult choice, but it is actually quite easy if you know exactly what you want.
What he wanted was the readers' attention, which would allow him to more easily change the attention of his own abilities and identity, rather than just liking. Simply liking could increase his popularity, but it was of no use to him.
So it is obvious that he can better achieve this goal by having both black and white identities in the eyes of readers.
Thinking of this, Su Bei took the initiative to ask: "I am Su Bei from Class F, may I know your name?"
In his expectation, this white-collared black man, whose personality seemed very similar to Wu Mingbai's, might evade his questions, or might be a little disgusted, and might even take the opportunity to inquire about what happened in the cafeteria.
But it doesn't matter. If this news can open up a new hidden line, he doesn't mind. After all, he is almost just a passerby in this matter, isn't he?
However, unexpectedly, the red-haired boy did not show any malice at all. Instead, he introduced himself with sparkling eyes: "My name is Mo Xiaotian, nice to meet you! Are we friends now?"
It was from this passage that Su Bei quickly realized the difference between him and Wu Mingbai.
Although it's strange to say this, the undercover agent really seems to be looking forward to being friends with him.
Although Wu Mingbai appears to be a little sunshine, he is actually a very distant person. The only two people he really accepts are Jiang Tianming and Lan Subing, and he keeps a certain distance when talking to them.
But Mo Xiaotian was different. He seemed to have no sense of distance at all. Except for the short moment when he suspected me, he seemed like a real naive person at other times.
Although Su Bei knew very well that as long as the author was not crazy, he would never give the supporting characters the same personality as the main characters, but this contrast was still shocking.
The protagonist is a bit naive and the villain is a bit silly. Is the author okay?
If the other party is really a naive person, then his attitude will have to change. Su Bei, who originally wanted to give a normal person's hesitant reaction, nodded decisively: "Of course, we are definitely friends now."
After saying this, he stared at the other person closely, observing his reaction. To a normal person who was a little wary, the answer just now seemed a little too eager for quick success, and it sounded like he couldn't wait to get close to the Class A superpowers. So most people would show a little sarcastic expression, and as long as he caught it, it would prove that Mo Xiaotian was not really a naive person.
However, Su Bei had to admit that he really didn't notice anything abnormal. Mo Xiaotian's eyes lit up and he said happily: "That's great! You are the first friend I made in the School of Superpowers."
Su Bei certainly couldn't have the EQ to say truthfully, "You are the second friend I made." He naturally took the other person to the door of his dormitory and said, "This is my dormitory. Come visit me when you have nothing to do."
A single dormitory is a relatively private space, and saying this also shows that you really want to make friends with the other person.
Mo Xiaotian was indeed very happy, and he walked into his room with Su Bei in a carefree manner.
After closing the door and hesitating for a moment, Su Bei still showed some sincerity: "Since we are friends, I will tell you a little bit about the cafeteria, but don't tell anyone."
However, Mo Xiaotian's reaction once again exceeded his expectations. He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head violently: "No, no, didn't the teacher say not to say it? Then don't say it, otherwise what if you get discovered?"
Su Bei didn't know what to say for a moment. He could see that the other party was not playing hard to get, but really didn't want to know. Or rather, didn't want to know from him.
Various signs finally allowed Su Bei to confirm that, from the current point of view, as long as he was not involved in that organization, Mo Xiaotian was just a pure naive person.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for him, because it means he won't be easily doubted or tempted so many times.
But from the fact that he had just glanced at the mark on Mo Xiaotian's neck, he immediately turned his head to look at this matter. Mo Xiaotian was a very sensitive person. In other words, even if the other party did not take the initiative to test him, once there was something abnormal about him, he would probably feel it quickly.
Let's release our goodwill first. Su Bei smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell you on my own initiative. But you should already know the answer, right? If what you said just now was wrong, I should have directly denied you."
After saying this, he stopped talking, leaving Mo Xiaotian alone to think about what that meant.
Mo Xiaotian quickly responded, and said in surprise and admiration: "You are right, you can actually distinguish them so well! Su Bei, you are so smart!"
After getting the answer he wanted, he showed some hesitation. He wanted to go back and report, but also wanted to chat with his new friend for a while.
Guessing the reason for his hesitation, Su Bei decisively sent the man out. Although he really wanted to ask the other party what his special ability was, he was not in a hurry. He had already received enough information today, and he had to think about it carefully.
First of all, there was the black lightning tattoo. If nothing unexpected happened, the murderer should also have such a tattoo. After all, there were only a few patterns that could be formed from those four points, so he couldn't help but be suspicious.
So the question is, what does this organization do?
Su Bei initially thought that the murderer was a hunter of superpowers and came to the school for some mission. This would explain why he killed himself without hesitation when his identity was likely to be exposed.
But judging from Mo Xiaotian's performance, this organization may not have any ill intentions towards people with special abilities, otherwise they would not have educated the child like this.
If their enemy is the school, that doesn't seem right. If the enemy is the school, the undercover sent must have a sabotage mission, and there is no way they would send someone as naive as Mo Xiaotian.
There is still too little information.
But back to the point...Su Bei seemed to suddenly remember something, and quickly opened his phone and clicked on the trailer's promotional page. Not far from the three protagonists, there was a red-haired boy with a silly smile, and the extent of his smile was exactly the same as Mo Xiaotian's just now.
Could this guy be Mo Xiaotian?
The more Su Bei thought about it, the more he felt that he was right. He knew that such a character with a mysterious personality and a special identity would not be unknown in the comics. So his behavior of building a good relationship with the other party should be correct, even if the other party is in a villain organization.
"'Comic Consciousness', are you there?" Su Bei asked directly, using his external tool when he was undecided.
The next second, the "comic consciousness" appeared as promised: "What's the matter?"
“Are the people with the black lightning marks members of an organization?”
Knowing that Su Bei was very sure about this matter, and that he had indeed found the key clue, "Comic Consciousness" did not hide it: "Yes."
"Then what is the purpose of establishing this organization?" This is the key question that Su Bei wants to ask. Only those with the same goal can be friends. He needs to understand it clearly so that he can arrange the subsequent drama in advance.
Unfortunately, the "comic consciousness" did not give him such a chance: "I can't tell you. I can only mention this matter after you discover it yourself."
It was an expected answer. Su Bei sighed with regret and changed the subject: "The first chapter of the comic will be updated at 8 o'clock tomorrow."
"Yes, I will update the comics and forum content in sync with the real world. In addition, your forum account has been activated, please use it reasonably to complete any tasks."
