Chapter 170

Si Zhaohua nodded and began to tell the story: "When I woke up, I found myself in a rather exquisite bedroom. A woman stood at the door and asked me to attend a dinner. I didn't know what was going on, so I followed her to the manor."

Hearing this, Su Bei started to get angry. Why was there a beggar next to him when he first entered, while Si Zhaohua was still a nobleman? In this damn comic world, he asked

Si Zhaohua continued: "After seeing this manor, I guessed that this should be what the alien space looked like in the past. So I went directly to the library to look for the black book, and I ran into Lan Subing who had turned into a maid."

Lan Subing nodded, indicating that it was true. She had been working with the other maids since she woke up. Fortunately, this kind of person should be relatively silent, so even though she didn't say much during the whole process, it didn't arouse other people's suspicion.

"We walked upstairs together. When I reached the fifth floor, I suddenly heard that the library had been robbed by two thieves. And because there were just two of us, we were treated as thieves..." Si Zhaohua looked helpless when he said this.

Even though they both had ill intentions, they hadn't done anything yet. It was really frustrating to be blamed for someone else for nothing.

Lan Subing was also very upset. She was forced to run for so long before she could escape from sight, but they obviously didn't have time to do anything. God knows whether those two damn thieves stole important things. Now they are taking the blame while the other party is at large.

"We don't know who those two guys are, but we plan to see if we can catch them and clear our names." Although their faces were not seen, they still hoped to catch the thief.

"It's not that troublesome." Su Bei already understood in his heart, "Those two thieves are probably Jiang Tianming and Ai Baozhu."

Who else could these two thieves who suddenly appeared at this time be?

After hearing his words, the two were obviously stunned for a moment: "It's them. It seems that they think the same as us. In fact, we don't know what they stole that could make the Earl of Burlington make such a big fuss."

Suddenly remembering that Su Bei probably didn't know the person he was talking about, he explained, "The Earl of Burlington is the owner of this manor. By the way, you are now..."

"Beggar, I was at the market when I came here. I felt that something was wrong here, so I sneaked in." Su Bei shrugged, "But you all have identities related to this manor, and I am the only beggar who has nothing to do with stealing. I feel that this identity may have other secrets."

Although Jiang Tianming and Ai Baozhu have not yet been seen, there is no doubt that they are inextricably linked to this manor, otherwise they would not have been able to become "thieves" so quickly.

"But we can't contact them now..." Just when he said this, Si Zhaohua suddenly thought of something, "Why don't I fly into the air to find someone?"

Or rather, it was not him looking for someone, but someone looking for him. People flying in the sky are actually very conspicuous, but most people don't look up. But since Jiang Tianming and Ai Baozhu knew that there was a teammate who could fly here, they would probably look up often if they were separated.

"But there are also people with special abilities here." Lan Subing disagreed with Si Zhaohua's idea. "They must be quite powerful to have caught the Knowledge Nightmare Beast. If they saw you flying in the sky, it would be hard to explain later."

Si Zhaohua certainly thought of a solution to this problem: "My age in this world is about the same as my age in reality, so it's okay to say that I just awakened my supernatural powers."

"That's fine." Hearing him say that, Lan Subing had no objection. She had forgotten Si Zhaohua's identity. For him, awakening his supernatural powers was not a bad thing but a good thing.

So Si Zhaohua went outside to fly a kite, while Su Bei and Lan Subing continued to mess around in the room. However, Lan Subing was not the type to slack off. Thinking that it was probably Jiang Tianming and his men who were causing trouble, she soon became restless and said, "I'll go out and take a look. It was dark just now and they couldn't see who we were."

If this was not the case, given Si Zhaohua's identity, they should have been informed of the host's family before pursuing accountability, rather than starting a chase directly.

Su Bei certainly wouldn't get in the way of the protagonists and waved his hand: "Go ahead. If you don't have anything to do, don't come back. If you have something to do, stay away."

Lan Subing: “…”

After she left, Su Bei thought he could rest for a while. But not long after, Lan Su Bing came back in a hurry, her eyes sparkling with frightening light: "Su Bei! Guess what I found outside!"

"...what?" If you have a bad feeling, looking at her expression, it is obvious that she has eaten some big news. But even if she has eaten some big news, she would not come back to tell him so hastily. Lan Subing's eagerness made Su Bei suspect that this big news was related to him.

The next second, Lan Subing confirmed his guess: "I found out that your identity is very important!"

Feeling that this person was not of good origin, Su Bei asked cautiously: "So who am I?"

"It's the real young master of the Earl of Burlington's family! This is actually a story about a real young master who was swapped with a fake young master!" It was obvious that she often read novels of this type. Although she only had a brief understanding of it, she now spoke very clearly, "You and the fake young master were swapped by your enemies. You were directly thrown away, but unexpectedly you stubbornly survived. Recently, the Burlington family found a superpower who was looking for humans with superpowers, and found that you were still alive. So they posted missing person notices all over the streets according to the face described by the superpower."

Su Bei really didn't pay much attention to the missing person notice along the way. After all, his identity did not allow him to wander around the streets recklessly. Therefore, Su Bei went straight to the destination the whole way and didn't pay much attention to the surrounding environment.

In addition, he was not interested in the world in the book. After all, he had a prop that could allow him to leave at any time. Who would care about the plot? How could he break the deadlock?

Now that he has heard that he is the real young master in the story, Su Bei has no intention of going out to recognize his relatives. He is fine staying here, and is also curious about how the plot would develop if the fake young master had not appeared.

But then again, Su Bei had previously speculated that this book was about the destruction of an entire city, so how did it end up being a story about a true and false young master?

Could it be that he had guessed wrong before?

Or maybe this is just a trick

"By the way, have you seen Maria and the others?" Su Bei suddenly asked. It was true that they were sucked into the book, but where did Maria and the others go? Logically, they must have been sucked into the book as well, but I didn't know if it was the same story.

"I'm not sure." Lan Subing shook her head. She was not familiar with those five people. She had just glanced at them from a distance. She might not recognize them even if they were standing in front of her.

It doesn't matter if they can't recognize him, they have no obligation to save him anyway. After thinking for a while, Su Bei reminded meaningfully: "The time node of this world in the book should be specially chosen by the Nightmare Beast."

Hearing this, Lan Subing was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Su Bei meant. But Su Bei obviously had no intention of continuing to speak, and closed his eyes to rest.

The reason why he reminded the other party was simply because Su Bei didn't want the nightmare beast tide to really happen. It would be best if he could take precautions in advance, so that he could easily get a reward. Otherwise, once the beast tide really broke out, he would have to leave the world in the book directly.

After all, she was the heroine of a comic book, so Lan Subing was very smart. She quickly understood what Su Bei meant, and her face suddenly turned pale.

Yes, as of now, the geographical location of the world in the book is exactly the city where the alien space is located, and the era is also corresponding. But the city has become an alien space in the real world, so what node will the world in the book be?

There is no doubt that in order for them all to die, the world in the book must be the node for the Nightmare's imminent arrival.

So what should they do? How should they solve the current dilemma? Because she had never experienced the mirror world, Lan Subing didn't know how to break the impasse. But she knew very well that if the nightmare beast really attacked the city, they would probably end up with the same ending as in history.

Fortunately, the final exam of the last semester was not in vain. Lan Subing, who had experienced a complete round of nightmare beast outbreak, calmed down after a brief panic. She knew that since the beast tide had not yet erupted, the most important thing they needed to do now was to nip everything in the bud.

What is the source of all this?

It's the knowledge nightmare beast.

Everything was back to the beginning. At the beginning, they just wanted to go to the library to find the book nightmare. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be the legendary knowledge nightmare.

"I understand. I'll go find the nightmare beast now." After Lan Subing finished speaking, she saw that Su Bei didn't close his eyes, so she didn't say anything more and quickly left the room.

Su Bei didn't close his eyes after she left. Lan Subing's sudden return just now made Su Bei realize one thing. Plans can never keep up with changes. God knows what will happen next. He should take the time to rest.

Just as he expected, something happened again in the blink of an eye. But this time it was not something in the book world, but something in the real world.

Hearing the message from the notebook in the storage space, Su Bei's eyes suddenly opened. There were only a few people who could directly send messages to him as the leader of the "Destiny" organization. Now that there was news, he almost didn't think of anyone other than the "Black Flash" organization.

As no one was in the room, Su Bei took out his notebook and opened it. It turned out to be a message from the "Black Flash" organization. The previous reward had been paid, and they wanted to give him a new commission. It was about the activities of the resource space of "Alpha Superpower High School".

Su Bei was a little surprised that they would come to "Alpha Superpower High School" to cause trouble. Were they too obsessed with transnational sabotage? The problem was that their plans in their own country had not succeeded, so how could the temporary plans made in foreign countries succeed?

It was impossible to refuse, so Su Bei immediately agreed to discuss it and then obtained part of the other party's plan.

Perhaps they knew that this would be difficult to operate in the other party's alien space, so their request was very simple, only requiring Su Bei to remove the surveillance in the clock tower.

The so-called surveillance is actually a supernatural product that allows people outside to see the real-time movements in the alien space through a large screen. Each area has such a surveillance, which is called surveillance, but in fact it is just a sticker that looks like an eye, a supernatural product.

When I visited the bell tower before, Su Bei also saw this sticker. It is on the ceiling, and generally no one would take it off. If someone wants to take it off, it is easy to be discovered by people outside and stopped in advance.

The most important thing is that Su Bei must not do this personally, otherwise once he is found out, his identity will be exposed immediately.

Undoubtedly, this is a very difficult task. First of all, he has to come up with a reasonable way to tear off the sticker. Secondly, he cannot do it himself, so he has to either let someone else do it or let the sticker fall off naturally.

Su Bei was hesitating whether to accept the offer. He certainly couldn't think of a good solution for the time being. But if he didn't accept the offer, since he had been told before that he could be contacted for any of the three places' missions, wouldn't it be a sign of something if he didn't accept the offer now?

After thinking about it, Su Bei decided to ask for a big reward: "The reward is not enough."

The reward they gave was of course not small, the same as the amount of the last mission. A small portion of the reward would be handed over to the organization, and the rest would be Su Bei's personal gain. However, he could only take it out after he left the alien space, because those props were prohibited from entering this alien space.

This can prevent students from obtaining large amounts of supplies through cheating, and it can also prevent those with evil intentions from using props to cause trouble in the alien space.

In Su Bei's opinion, this rule is still very good. If the "Infinite Ability Academy" had this awareness during the first monthly exam group battle, the "Black Flash" organization would not have been able to take advantage.

Now that he has become the "evil man", things are not so wonderful. Without the ability to use props, it is much more difficult for him to complete the task, but Su Bei does not want to refuse directly. So the best way for him is to ask for a lot of money, so that the other party will give up.

After two rounds of bargaining, the other party accurately understood his intention and stopped raising the price.

Even though he seems to be saying that he doesn't want to take the job, it's better for him to keep some things to himself. Even if the other party is 90% sure that he doesn't want to take the job, there is still 10% doubt that the price is not in place.

After finishing the matter here, Su Bei walked to the window and looked out. Si Zhaohua, who was supposed to be flying in the sky, had disappeared. It was unknown whether he had found someone or was discovered by someone.

Should I continue to stay in this room? After thinking about it, Su Bei decided to leave. This room has bad feng shui. He came here to rest, but he didn't rest at all. Things kept happening one after another, leaving no time for him to breathe.

It would be better to go to another place, so that even if something happens, they don't know where I am and can't find me. Anyway, Su Bei doesn't believe that apart from the mission of saving the world assigned to him by the "comic consciousness", there is nothing else in this world that the protagonist group can't do without him.

Relying on his mental power to avoid the crowd and changing rooms, Su Bei could finally rest in peace.

The world in this book is not that simple. The noises outside are chaotic and chaotic, and no one knows what the protagonists are doing. When Su Bei felt a little hungry and wanted to go out to find something to eat, the surrounding scene suddenly turned into fragments and slowly faded away, revealing the appearance of a library.

Su Bei raised his eyebrows, knowing that Jiang Tianming and his team had solved the problem. He stood there, admiring the magical scene in front of him while receiving the sudden spiritual power.

This kind of mental power is not just what they usually talk about. Su Bei can vaguely feel that in addition to the increase in mental power, there seems to be something else slowly changing. In short, it feels like his brain is clearer.

His smarter brain quickly led him to a possibility. Could it be that this change made him smarter?

This is possible. The reward given by the Knowledge Nightmare is to increase human understanding ability or something like that, which is completely reasonable.

After realizing this, Su Bei smiled. He had not stayed here for so long in vain. This reward was much better than he had expected.

Not to mention how great a reward it is to become smarter, just the improvement in mental power alone is not a small amount for Su Bei. With his current total mental power, it must be a huge amount for him to feel the improvement.

The world in the book completely disappeared, and ten people crowded into the room. Jiang Tianming was holding the black book in his hand. The book in his hand was now tied up with a bundle of golden ropes, which was Jiang Tianming's special ability [Binding Immortal Rope].

Except for Su Bei, everyone else had different expressions, but they soon turned into excitement.

"Great, we're finally out!" a girl said happily, her eyes reddening, "I thought we would be trapped in there forever!"

The boy who had deliberately provoked Team B before told the truth: "That won't happen. According to what Jiang Tianming and the others said, there will be a wave of nightmare beasts erupting next. We will definitely not be able to survive and we will die then."

The first girl stared at him speechlessly, then looked at Jiang Tianming and the others, bowed and thanked them: "Thank you so much! It's all thanks to you that we were able to get out this time!"

Several other people also expressed their gratitude. Although they were prejudiced at first against Jiang Tianming and others who saved them from the dire situation, they were truly grateful at this moment.

Jiang Tianming and his friends politely declined the thank you. After the two sides exchanged greetings, they looked at Su Bei. Si Zhaohua asked in confusion, "Where did you go later? I couldn't find you when I went back to look for you."

Su Bei answered honestly: "That room has bad feng shui, so I moved to a room with better feng shui."

It would be fine if the feng shui was bad, but he was the one who said it, so people couldn't believe it even if they wanted to.

Si Zhaohua said helplessly: "Then you should at least tell us in advance, or leave a note. We couldn't find you later."

So what do you think is the reason why this room has bad feng shui? Su Bei smiled and said nothing.

Seeing that he didn't care, Ai Baozhu added: "At that time, we had found a way for several people to leave smoothly, but because we couldn't leave everyone, and we couldn't find you, we stayed. What if we encounter an opportunity to leave next time, and you are not there, what should we do?"

"I won't be absent at that time." Su Bei answered immediately.

Everyone was stunned for a moment. His words had two meanings. One was that he was not there because he knew in advance that they could not all leave, and the other was because he had his own way of leaving.

Based on Su Bei's usual characteristics, everyone quickly realized that it was the latter. Ai Baozhu asked in surprise: "Do you have a way to leave early?"

"In the world of books, you can leave directly by tearing up any book." Su Bei answered, tilting his head in a sly manner, pretending to be innocent, "Don't you know?"

Everyone: “…”

Let’s not talk about whether they know this problem or not. Even if they know it, they can’t leave without any books. Ai Baozhu suddenly realized: “I was wondering why we didn’t see any books when we went to the library. I thought they hadn’t built the library at that time. So this is the case!”

"Then why didn't you leave before?" Jiang Tianming asked curiously. Su Bei didn't seem like the kind of person who would stay to help them. Moreover, from his subsequent behavior, it could be seen that he really didn't mean to do so.

Speaking of this, Su Bei raised his lips slightly. His initial judgment was correct, and staying here would indeed bring benefits. However, these words were not suitable to be said openly. Su Bei asked with a "righteous" attitude: "What are you talking about? What are you talking about! How can I leave when none of you have left? Am I this kind of person in your mind?"

However, Jiang Tianming was not intimidated by his words. He showed an awkward but polite smile. At this moment, silence was better than words.

Su Bei did not want to humiliate himself any more, and coughed to change the subject: "Since the matter has been resolved, we should leave now."

He had already prepared to eat, but after the transformation he had just undergone, he was extremely hungry.

"Wait, let's deal with this Knowledge Nightmare first." Jiang Tianming looked at the black book in his hand and did not do anything immediately. Instead, he looked up and asked Xukong, "Teacher, what should we do if we catch it?"

The Knowledge Nightmare is very valuable, and it is also the reason why Alpha Supernatural High School locks it up here to make money. It is obvious that they cannot easily get rid of it. Since they cannot get rid of it, it would be good if they can use it to exchange for some benefits.

Sure enough, John's voice soon rang out: "Put it back where it was, and we can give you five two skill books as compensation."

This statement was equivalent to confirming that the exchange student was the one who caught the Nightmare Beast, and no one else had to think about it. And this compensation was not bad, after all, the Nightmare Beast was originally the treasure of "Alpha Supernatural High School", and it was very conscientious to give them a certain amount of compensation.

Besides, the Knowledge Nightmare's own defense is very strong. Even if they catch it, they may not be able to break its defense. It is better to get some benefits and leave it alone.

When no one else had any comments, Jiang Tianming suddenly asked: "What are the qualities of these two skill books? Can you make any requests for their attributes?"

As the only child from a poor family among the five, Jiang Tianming knew bargaining very well. Two skill books seemed to be a very generous reward, but the upper and lower limits were very different.

If they were perfunctory, they could probably only sell the two skill books for three or four million. But if they were sincere enough, they could sell for tens of millions. If they could bargain over this, they would definitely earn more.
