Chapter 136
When they heard that the school had captured a high-level nightmare beast for them to learn from, everyone was surprised. That was a high-level nightmare beast! It was worthy of being a supernatural school to have such a thing.
They had indeed seen high-level nightmare beasts, not only had they seen them, but they had also killed them. Jiang Tianming and his team had even communicated with high-level nightmare beasts at close range. But as for taking the lead in research, there was really no such opportunity.
The bell rang, and Meng Huai finished his lecture on time. As soon as he left, the classroom immediately became lively.
"I don't know if this high-level nightmare beast is good-looking." Ai Baozhu held her chin with both hands and talked to Si Zhaohua, "It would be nice if he was a handsome guy."
"What would you do if he was a handsome guy?" Si Zhaohua asked with a smile.
Ai Baozhu replied confidently, "Of course I appreciate it. It's better to study a handsome guy than a dark thing."
This touched the hearts of all the girls. Qi Huang nodded seriously: "If it's a pretty girl, I can do it too. To be honest, I'm quite curious about how someone dressed in black can become a handsome and beautiful man."
"If the facial features are good, then any color will look good." Lan Subing commented in a low voice, "But it seems that we have never encountered a few humanoid high-level nightmare beasts before..."
After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent. Indeed, although it was said that high-level nightmare beasts could transform into human form, they had seen so many high-level nightmare beasts, and only the little black man in the "Battle Remake" was in human form, and did not have facial features.
Ai Baozhu felt that her hopes were about to be dashed, and quickly changed the subject before she was completely desperate: "By the way, what kind of protective gear are you going to bring?"
"No need to bring it. The teacher is probably just saying that. The academy's protective measures are still very complete. We are not the first students in the academy to use high-level nightmare beasts for experiments." The wooden iron man answered reasonably.
Meng Huai just said "newly caught", which proves that there should have been one originally, but that one was no longer useful, so a new one had to be caught.
However, Su Bei thought of another thing. Mu Tieren's judgment was correct. The academy must have held similar courses before, so there was a high probability that nothing would go wrong.
But what Meng Huai said just now was definitely not said without reason, it was more like a reminder. If Su Bei was not sure that Meng Huai was not an undercover, he would have suspected that he was an undercover among the teachers, and he deliberately reminded them because of his guilty conscience.
In any case, since Meng Huai has reminded him, he must do some preparation.
On the first day of school, because the students were not paying attention, the teachers usually did not talk about anything important. They just exchanged pleasantries, explained the contents of the winter vacation homework, and then the class ended.
It was not until the end of the school day that Meng Huai entered the class again. He came to talk about the Feng family incident: "We are still researching the antidote for red wine, but its efficacy has been studied clearly. This drug is not only addictive, but also can stimulate the dark side of people's hearts. You should also learn from this and avoid eating things from outside if you can. This time it was wine, so you were lucky to avoid it. If it was ordinary drinks next time, you would have been fooled."
What Meng Huai said was true. There was only one reason why they were all able to escape death, and that was because the poison was put in the wine. If it was any individual thing, someone would definitely be infected.
However, the poison was put in the wine not entirely by the author's deliberate trick for the protagonists. After all, people have different tastes, and no matter what dish the poison is put in, there may be people who won't eat it.
But it is different when it comes to wine. Wine tasting is a social etiquette and few people don’t drink it, especially low-alcohol red wine.
So putting it in red wine is the best choice.
After Meng Huai announced the end of school, Su Bei looked at Si Zhaohua curiously and said, "By the way, how did your father escape the disaster?"
In fact, Su Bei guessed from the beginning that Si's father would definitely not fall for it. After all, being poisoned at someone else's banquet, especially with such an addictive drug, was very embarrassing.
As a father, Si Zhaohua would certainly be affected by his father's loss of status. So it is highly likely that Si's father will not be in trouble. But even though he understood it, he was still very curious about how the other party escaped this.
"I found an opportunity to reveal the Feng family's affairs to my father. He didn't have the habit of eating out, so he didn't fall for it at the time. Later, he directly contacted the elders of the Feng family who were familiar with him." Si Zhaohua explained.
Su Bei understood. In fact, other people might have the good habit of not eating out. It was just that he trusted the Feng family and didn't have the strength to refuse the unspoken rules of the workplace.
The host raised his arm and shouted from the podium, "Let us drink from this cup together." So how could we not give him face? We had to drink it.
"Feng Lan, does this incident have a big impact on your family?" Seeing that Su Beidu had already taken the initiative to ask about the problem of that day, Zhao Xiaoyu also asked.
Feng Lan had no intention of hiding it and nodded: "Of course there will be an impact. The Feng family will not hold such activities for at least a few years. But as long as there are prophetic abilities appearing, it won't be affected too much."
After listening to his explanation, everyone understood. Yes, the Feng family made their fortune by predicting the future, not by doing these random activities. As long as they still have the ability to make a living, their family will not decline.
The third class the next morning was Meng Huai's class, and it was two consecutive classes just to let them understand the high-level nightmare beasts.
As soon as he entered the classroom, Su Bei saw a huge cage more than one meter tall placed next to the podium. The cage was covered with a layer of red cloth, so he couldn't see what was inside.
Meng Huai arrived at the classroom early, which was rare. He was probably afraid that someone would secretly open the curtain and cause trouble. After all, there were high-level nightmare beasts inside. Even with protective measures, it would be hard to feel at ease if he didn't watch them.
Mo Xiaotian was curiously looking around the cage: "Teacher, is this the high-level nightmare beast? Why doesn't it speak?"
Hearing this question, Meng Huai suddenly showed a wicked smile on his face. But in almost an instant, the corners of his mouth dropped again, and he returned to his serious expression: "Of course it's because I was controlled. I can speak after the cloth is lifted."
Is there something wrong with the sound of this nightmare beast? Su Bei thought silently in his seat. He just noticed Meng Huai's strange expression and naturally had some doubts.
No, we still have to be on guard. Meng Huai is definitely not a good teacher who cares for his students. If he still turns a blind eye to something so suspicious, then he is really blind.
Thinking of this, Su Bei secretly went to the toilet, rolled up the paper into a small ball, wet it with water, and then squeezed it dry, just like preparing two earplugs for himself.
After he finished, he returned to the classroom, just as the bell rang.
Meng Huai walked to the side of the cage and said, "I think you have guessed it. This is the high-level nightmare beast I mentioned yesterday. It seems that you are all very curious. Then please ask someone to come up and help me lift the cloth."
After all, they were all fifteen or sixteen years old, and they were very active in this kind of small interaction in the classroom. Everyone raised their hands, except Su Bei, who had already known that there was a high probability that this nightmare beast had a problem, and some of the students who were naturally indifferent.
"Jiang Tianming, come here." Meng Huai had no intention of causing trouble here, so he just randomly picked someone who was nearby.
Jiang Tianming walked to the cage and pulled back the red cloth. The nightmare beast trapped behind the metal cage suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
Almost instantly, everyone cried out in surprise!
No other reason, this nightmare beast is actually in the form of a mermaid!
The jet-black tail of the mermaid is bent in the large bathtub, with shiny scales on it. The mermaid's seaweed-like hair is also black, giving people a very mysterious feeling.
Its face has facial features, like perfect facial features carved out of black jade, every detail is exquisite. Just like Lan Subing said yesterday, as long as the facial features are good-looking, any color of skin can be made to look good.
Almost at the same time, Su Bei felt as if he heard beautiful music. However, just like seeing the Phoenix O legend, their songs will automatically appear in your mind, seeing the mermaid will automatically appear in the mind of the siren's song is also a normal thing.
No! What's normal?
Thanks to his advanced spiritual power, Su Bei realized his logical problem almost instantly. He could see Phoenix O Legend and think of their songs because he really heard those songs. But now, the so-called siren's song in his ears, he had never heard it before, so how could it appear automatically?
But apparently he was the only one who noticed this problem. Everyone else looked calm and enjoyed themselves, not noticing that there was anything wrong with the singing.
Wait, there seems to be another person. Su Bei looked at Wu Jin with an inquiring look, and Wu Jin also noticed his gaze very keenly and nodded at him.
Su Bei understood immediately, it seems that Wu Jin was not affected by the singing either. But it was true, the singing was the type that could charm people, and Wu Jin's ability was [Charm], so naturally he would not be fooled.
But then again... looking at Wu Jin's calm face, not worried about others at all, Su Bei put on the earplugs he had prepared before, and then used his mental power to quickly send a note to Wu Jin: "This nightmare beast was caught by the principal"
Wu Jin didn't have his ability, so he could only nod at him to indicate that his guess was correct.
As expected, he said that this merman nightmare beast happened to have the ability of charm, and it looked like it was specially prepared for Wu Jin. In addition, Wu Jin's calm look made it seem like he had seen it before.
"Hiss!" Suddenly, a piece of chalk hit Su Bei accurately. Even though his mental power had sensed the arrival of the chalk in advance, he had no time to dodge.
When he looked up, Meng Huai was looking at him with a sneer. The warning in his eyes was obvious, and it was obvious that he didn't want Su Bei to tell the truth. He wanted Jiang Tianming and the others to react on their own.
Of course Su Bei had no objection, he actually wished it were so.
"Wow, teacher, is this really a high-level nightmare beast?" Qi Huang asked suspiciously, looking at the mermaid with her eyes closed who looked like a sculpture. She really suspected that this was a prank by the teacher.
Hearing this, Meng Huai snapped his fingers. The next second, the mermaid in the fish tank trembled slightly, and then slowly opened her eyes. It was the same pair of dark eyes, without whites, which looked a bit weird.
However, it did not show any intention of moving. It just flipped its tail lightly and then remained motionless.
Meng Huai began to introduce the mermaid nightmare beast in a formal manner. He did not introduce the specific abilities of the nightmare beast, but instead told everyone some basic knowledge about advanced nightmare beasts.
Although it was basic knowledge, it was also something that Su Bei and his friends had never learned before. Although it was not what they expected, everyone still listened to it with great interest.
Meng Huai said that the abilities of high-level nightmare beasts are often related to their appearance. When a nightmare beast dies, it usually leaves behind a corpse and a supernatural item, but sometimes no corpse is left behind.
When killing high-level monsters, it is best to kill them with one strike. Be careful because some Nightmare Beasts have the ability to self-destruct and die together with the Psychic.
When he mentioned this knowledge point, he deliberately glared at Su Bei and the other four. The four of them also knew why the teacher glared at them. If the cloud nightmare beast had the ability to self-destruct at that time, they would probably have turned into ashes by now.
The four of them laughed at the same time. They really didn't know this. There was no way. The young man was full of passion, and passion was always associated with recklessness. Even Jiang Tianming, the calmest among them, would get carried away sometimes.
However, we have learned from our mistakes and now that we know that doing so is problematic, we will not make the same mistake again.
After speaking for the entire class, Meng Huai stopped talking and said, "Let's end the class for now. If you need to go to the restroom, you can go. We will continue in the next class."
After saying that, he stood up and left the classroom, "thoughtfully" closing the door for everyone.
As soon as Meng Huai closed the door, the scene in the classroom changed immediately. All the students who were studying hard suddenly walked towards the cage as if they were bewitched.
Su Bei blinked, and suddenly looked at Wu Jin, the only one who didn't move: "Who do you think will be attacked first after they release the high-level nightmare beast?"
Hearing this question, Wu Jin was stunned for a moment, then pointed at himself with some uncertainty: "It's... us"
Su Bei gave a fake smile and walked quickly to the back door: "You knew you were going to get out, but you're looking for death if you stay here."
When he reached the door and pulled the back door, his expression suddenly changed: "The door is locked."
The back door was locked, not to mention the front door, which must have been locked as well. Su Bei looked around the classroom and then went straight to the window. Fortunately, Meng Huai did not intend to kill everyone, so the window was not locked. He pushed the window open and jumped out.
Because they were freshmen, their class was on the first floor, so it was not difficult to jump out. After Wu Jin jumped out, they closed the window together.
At the same time, the cage that imprisoned the Nightmare Beast was opened. The mermaid Nightmare Beast was no longer calm. It swung its tail and directly broke the fish tank. In an instant, a steady stream of water spread to the entire classroom.
Su Bei stood outside the window, using his mental power to sense the movements of the people inside.
The mermaid nightmare beast obviously wanted to open the door, but the door of the "Endless Power Academy" was not so easy to open, even a high-level nightmare beast had no way to do it.
So it controlled Jiang Tianming and the others to open the door, but although they tried their best, they still failed to open the door.
Like Su Bei and the others, the Merman Nightmare Beast also thought of a way to leave through the window. However, unlike Su Bei and the others' smooth escape, the window could not be opened this time.
Su Bei, who "saw" this scene outside, immediately understood that all of this should be under the teacher's control. In that case, he was dismissed from class. Su Bei did not waste any time and smiled at Wu Jin: "Let's go, let's go eat."
Hearing this, Wu Jin glanced at the classroom hesitantly, and finally nodded. Just as Su Bei had guessed before, he had seen this nightmare beast before, and he had used it to train his supernatural powers during the winter vacation.
This nightmare beast itself is not very powerful, it can only use its singing to charm its opponents. With the teacher watching over him, nothing will happen. So there is really no point for him to stay here, so he might as well go have lunch with Su Bei.
Because they went early, there were not many people in the cafeteria yet, so Su Bei and Wu Jin went to the points cafeteria to have a full meal. Now Su Bei is no longer the poor student who needed others to treat him to eat in the points cafeteria at the beginning of the school year. He had not eaten in the cafeteria for a long time, so he ordered a big meal to show his respect for the beginning of the school year.
The surroundings were filled with whispers. Just as Su Bei finally had the spare money to eat in the points canteen, many first-year students also finally had this spare money. After all, after a semester of study, no matter if it was a monthly exam, a midterm exam, or a final exam, as long as the grades were good, they could get a lot of points. In addition, the teachers would also reward points for attending classes, so everyone saved some points. The current points canteen is much more lively than when school started last semester.
But it was still a little bit unusual for someone like Su Bei to order so many things in one go without showing any regret. Therefore, many people's eyes fell on him. After recognizing his identity, they immediately whispered to each other.
"Who is that person? You have too many points and don't know where to spend them, right?" Girl A
"It seems to be... the one from Class S who ranked third in the three-school joint exam in Subei!"
"Oh my god! It's him! No wonder he has so many points!"
After the baptism of the last semester, even Wu Jin and Lan Subing can remain calm in the face of these looks and discussions, let alone Su Bei
Ignoring these looks, he finished his meal at a leisurely pace. When he and Wu Jin walked out of the cafeteria, they ran into the S class who were all in a hurry to eat.
The two of them looked pale and wanted to go back to the cafeteria to avoid the limelight. However, how could others give them such an opportunity?
"You two really didn't remind us at all!" Ai Baozhu said gritting her teeth. Her socks were soaked through, and her originally neatly braided hair became a mess, making her look like a rare wolf.
Hearing this, Su Bei threw the blame without hesitation: "I wanted to remind you, but the teacher wouldn't let me."
He wanted to remind people, but it was false, but the teacher didn't let him. So in general, he didn't lie. After all, whether he wanted to remind people or not, he couldn't.
Everyone can understand this point. Meng Huai obviously wants to use this opportunity to make them suffer a loss and teach them a lesson, although he will not allow people who see through his plan in advance to disrupt his plan.
So even though they were complaining, no one really blamed Su Bei and the others. Jiang Tianming said calmly, "We were careless this time. The teacher actually reminded us before."
Yesterday the teacher told them to prepare protective gear, which was clearly a hint that something might happen to the Nightmare Beast. Unfortunately, they trusted the school too much, so no one took it seriously and just thought it was a routine reminder.
Li Shu next to him looked at Su Bei and said, "Su Bei, did you understand what Teacher Meng was saying at that time?"
His words were quite malicious. He obviously meant that if Su Bei had understood Meng Huai's hint yesterday, he would have had enough time to remind others.
This guy is always saying naughty things under a layer of gentle skin. Su Bei rolled his eyes and said, "I only understood it when I heard the teacher say before class that the nightmare beast 'can speak after the cloth is lifted'."
After hearing what he said, everyone just realized it. Yes, that was actually an obvious reminder. They didn't pay attention to it after two reminders, so it's no wonder they suffered a big loss.
Wu Jin didn't say anything while they were talking. Unlike Su Bei, he was really guilty. Although Meng Huai had told him not to remind Jiang Tianming and the others, this mermaid nightmare beast was his sparring partner after all, so he could still help even if he didn't remind them.
However, because he knew that what Meng Huai said made sense, and that everyone really needed to suffer a loss to stay alert, he still held back and did not remind them. But reason is one thing, and emotion is another. Intellectually, he knew he was right, but emotionally, he still couldn't help feeling guilty.
"Then you two wouldn't just run away, right? How could you be so cruel when you came to the cafeteria to eat..." Zhou Renjie muttered softly. He was also very sullen, and his expression was uglier than the others. Just from the word "run away", Su Bei knew that he was not joking like the others, but was really complaining about their early departure.
He could understand why Zhou Renjie had such an ugly expression. After all, this guy was not the first time to be bewitched. When he went to a desert alien space, he was bewitched once and lost his dignity that time.
Although most of the class fell for it this time, it was his second time. Zhou Renjie had always had a high self-esteem, or in other words, he cared a lot about his reputation. Naturally, he couldn't bear it and felt more ashamed than others.
In fact, he had already made up his mind that when he returned home on the weekend, he would find a set of self-defense props that could resist this ability.
"Nothing will happen to you as long as the teacher is watching you." Su Bei answered again.
He didn't look angry at all, and his expression was still smiling, as if he was very friendly. But what he said was not so polite: "I understand your incompetent rage, but if you blame me for your incompetence, then I don't want to understand it."
"I..." Zhou Renjie was speechless because of Su Bei's words.
Seeing this, Si Zhaohua couldn't help but sigh softly. To blame his classmates for this kind of thing was to show that Zhou Renjie was not mature enough, and to blame Su Bei, who he couldn't handle at all, was to show that he made a mistake in his rational judgment.
Sometimes Si Zhaohua didn't want to care about him, but after all, the two of them had known each other since childhood: "He hasn't come to his senses yet, his mind is not clear."
Su Bei knew that this was just an excuse, but he didn't mind giving Si Zhaohua this face. He glanced at Zhou Renjie and nodded to everyone: "Then we'll leave first."
