Chapter 176

Because the first floor has a large space, it is easier to use both fighting skills and supernatural powers, so most people are fighting on the first floor, leaving the upper floors empty.

Of course, there were also people in the upper echelons, including unlucky passers-by and 1.9-meter-tall students who were already frightened by what had just happened. However, these people naturally did not dare to pick a fight with Su Bei. As soon as they saw him, they avoided him, fearing that he would eliminate them if he was not happy.

Su Bei didn't mean to stay on the rooftop all the time. He had said before that the reason why other people didn't come to the rooftop was because it was not suitable for fighting. This was the same for everyone.

Many people saw him coming up just now. If someone informed the news and attracted a large force to come and capture him, Su Bei had no confidence that he could defeat a hundred enemies alone in this broken place.

So he walked to the window and tested it, and found that the top floor window was not sealed by the supernatural power. Su Bei immediately got out of the window and turned over to sit on the edge of the spire of the clock tower.

He leaned back contentedly and stopped moving. Just sit here, the view is very good, you can see the small mountains and the whole city.

Although it was late at night, the city was pitch black without any lights, and he couldn't see any scenery at all. Bats and nightmare beasts kept flying out of the darkness to attack him... Well, this place wasn't that good either.

But the most important thing is that from here he can always return to the interior of the bell tower. If the door is still blocked, he doesn't have to climb up again and can go in anytime.

The noisy fighting sounds below had nothing to do with Su Bei. He was enjoying the scenery while wondering when the "Black Flash" organization would cause trouble.

The stickers have disappeared, which means they haven't given up their plan. And according to the task given to me before, "lead both teams to the bell tower together", it can be seen that the place where they messed up must be the bell tower.

Based on previous experience, Su Bei suspected that the enemy might tamper with the exit. Previously, when they were in the maze, the "Black Flash" organization transformed the main door into a teleportation gate, causing them to think they could get out, but as soon as they opened the door, they fell into the enemy's carefully prepared trap.

However, "Alpha Supernatural High School" should not have such a big loophole. You have to know that this is not a wild space like the maze space, but a space controlled by the school itself. It is also a very important resource space. If they can let the "Black Flash" organization control the exit of this, then it will really go bankrupt.

Therefore, Su Bei initially speculated that the problem was not with the gate, and they deliberately removed the surveillance in the clock tower. Perhaps there was something wrong with the clock tower itself.

It seems that he can't go back for a while. If there is any problem in the clock tower, he can still escape from it outside. Although this time it may involve some major plots, he can see the process from the comics.

And not participating now does not mean not participating forever. Knowing that there was a problem with the clock tower, Su Bei could have jumped down at the right time to rescue them, instead of suffering with the protagonists from the beginning.

However, it is a bit strange that the monitoring of the clock tower is broken, so how could the teachers outside not notice the abnormality? Even if they firmly believe that there is no problem in the space, they will definitely come in to check if they encounter such a thing as broken monitoring.

It seems that there are problems both inside and outside, which led to the leakage of this space. However, it is the matter of "Alpha Supernatural High School" anyway, and he can say that it has nothing to do with it.

Therefore, Su Bei was not worried. He was just thinking about how the other party did it. And if he told the outside world that there was a problem in the bell tower, would the teachers outside see it?

Of course, this is just a hypothesis. Whether they can see it or not, Su Bei will not do it. If they can't see it, it proves that the entire surveillance system is now controlled by the "Black Flash" organization.

If he rashly revealed that he knew about their conspiracy and attempted to report it, it would very likely lead to his being arrested while he could have gotten through this hurdle safely, and it would not have any effect at all.

And if it is the other situation, I can indeed inform the author in advance, then no matter how the author arranges it, I can easily achieve the effect of making the "Black Flash" organization's plan fail ahead of time.

But the question is why did he do this?

This incident was undoubtedly arranged by the author. It involves the main plot, so there will be no danger to life and there may be unexpected gains. Breaking the plot will only make them update the content one less time. Maybe in order to return to the main plot, there will be other dangers waiting for them in the blink of an eye.

Most importantly, what if he changes an important plot and the author notices that something is wrong? After all, the plot that the author has carefully designed suddenly changes direction, or even disappears. It is impossible to completely hide the "comic consciousness" no matter how hard you try.

Therefore, Su Bei would not make any unnecessary moves. He just wanted to watch the show. He just hoped that the show would not affect him, and it would be better if it lasted for a shorter time. Although it was very cool to be on the top of the tower, the cold wind was blowing, and it would not be comfortable to stay there for a long time.

After resting his eyes for a while, Su Bei suddenly opened his eyes. Just a second ago, he heard the notification sound of "Manga Consciousness" about the update of the manga. At the same time, the sound of fighting below suddenly stopped.

It seems that Su Bei has started to use his mental power to probe into the tower. As expected, everyone has disappeared, and the entire clock tower is empty. If it weren't for those traces of supernatural powers, Su Bei might have thought that everything before was an illusion.

At this time, another student came to the door of the clock tower. He did not notice Su Bei sitting on the top of the tower, and Su Bei had no intention of reminding him. He just watched him walk into the clock tower quietly, and then observed him with his mental power.

It was past 12 o'clock now, and the exit was ready. Judging from my mental perception, it should be a door three meters high and two meters wide.

The boy was obviously wondering why there was no one in the clock tower. He walked around first, then walked into the gate with some uneasiness and disappeared on the spot.

It looked like a normal disappearance, and Su Bei immediately understood that there should be no problem with this door. As long as he walked through the door, he could return to the real world. As for why he knew this, there was no other reason. If those people disappeared because they entered this door, then Jiang Tianming and the others would never leave him alone.

Suddenly disappearing out of thin air... Why does this ability sound so familiar?

Su Bei raised his eyebrows, jumped down from the tower, and successfully reached the ground after a few attempts. Thanks to the super enhancement of the psychic's physical fitness, he occasionally felt that he was actually in the world of martial arts.

Arriving at the manor, Su Bei saw that the black book was not at the door, so he went directly to the library. As before, there were still many books in the library, but there was still no sign of the Knowledge Nightmare.

After thinking for a while, Su Bei said, "You should have some skill books. I want to bring another person to exchange knowledge for a skill book."

If he remembered correctly, the Knowledge Nightmare's skill book output for this year was already sold out. They first got three books, and after the second visit, the five people from Su Bei redeemed one each. Elvis and Tiffany from next door redeemed one, but Ian did not.

He really had no knowledge to exchange. He could borrow from Elvis and others, but what would he have to give afterwards? Fortunately, he had gained enough from the world of books, and Ian was not dissatisfied.

So there are already ten books in total, and the Knowledge Nightmare cannot help one more person. Su Bei is very clear about this, but he still wants to ask. Compared with affirmative words, it is easier to say rebuttal.

Su Bei wanted to confirm whether the Knowledge Nightmare Beast was still here. This was the easiest way. If it was really there, it would most likely answer this question.

However, after waiting for a while, Su Bei did not hear any answer. He glanced at the library again thoughtfully. If it was not there, then where would it have gone?

As he thought about it, Su Bei's gaze gradually turned towards the direction of the clock tower.

That ability to make everyone disappear instantly is really like the world in the book of the Knowledge Nightmare...

The vision of high-level nightmare beasts is interconnected. So what if the "Black Flash" organization reaches cooperation with the knowledge nightmare beast in this alien space through another high-level nightmare beast and then captures Jiang Tianming and others?

This is indeed possible.

After thinking for a while, Su Bei knew what he should do. After the Knowledge Nightmare locked people into the world of the book, its body was still outside.

Although we can't do anything to it after finding its true form, once the Knowledge Nightmare dies, the world in the book it created will collapse, and everyone inside will be doomed.

But as long as they can control its body, Jiang Tianming and the others will be safe. Once they die, the life of the Knowledge Nightmare will certainly be in danger. As long as it wants to survive, it must save the lives of the students.

And if the Black Flash organization really made some kind of deal with the Knowledge Nightmare, which caused it to attack students, then the so-called deal is nothing more than a few kinds. Either give the Knowledge Nightmare freedom, or take it away from this alien space...

No matter which one it is, it is right to capture its original form. As long as the original form is in hand, the Knowledge Nightmare will not be able to cause any trouble.

Where is its main body? Undoubtedly, it is the bell tower. After figuring this out, Su Bei immediately rushed back to the bell tower, lamenting his miserable fate as he rushed.

Back and forth, I have been messing around in the bell tower and the manor for the past few days. But it is not all bad, at least I am familiar with the road, which saves a lot of time to find the way.

Before he returned to the clock tower, the notebook belonging to the "Destiny" organization started to ring. Because the exit door had been opened, almost all the students were rushing to the clock tower. Su Bei's current location was still far away from the middle tower, and there were not many people around. He found a place to sit down and opened his notebook to check the information.

It was sent by the "Black Flash" organization. They have not yet confirmed that the mission is completed, and asked in the chat interface why Su Bei is not there.

"Is she in there..." Su Bei muttered to himself. The Black Flash organization sent him this message to convey two hidden intelligences. The first one was that they should be able to see the scenes in the world of the book now, so they knew she was not in it.

The second piece of news was that they did not know the situation in the clock tower at that time, because the task they assigned to the "Destiny" organization was to let the two teams come to the clock tower together, rather than letting the two teams enter the world of the book together.

Logically speaking, Su Bei had already completed the first mission. If they could see the situation inside the bell tower, they would not have such doubts.

The most important piece of news to Su Bei is the first one, that the people of the "Black Flash" organization are in the world of the book, which means that Zhang Tianming and his friends may not be able to get out of the world of the book safely, and even if the Knowledge Nightmare wants to let them out, it may be impossible.

He was talking about how he still remembered the "space lock" he had returned before. That thing could seal a space, and the world in the book must be a space that could be sealed.

Things are getting a little complicated. He said before that after finding the knowledge professor, the initiative will be in their hands. Now it seems that the "Black Flash" organization is not a pushover.

And in this case, the school would not be able to rescue them before Jiang Tianming and his friends solved the problem themselves, which would ensure that the integrity of the plot would not be interrupted by anything. The comic book author was also smart enough.

Su Bei couldn't help but feel lucky that he left the bell tower early and didn't enter the world of the book. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to escape and would have to suffer with the protagonists.

Despite this unexpected change, his goal did not change much, he had to find the Knowledge Nightmare first no matter what.

After simply replying to the other team that all members of the two teams had indeed entered the bell tower together, Su Bei put away his notebook and continued to move forward towards the bell tower.

When we returned to the bell tower, there were already quite a few students inside. They were all preparing to leave normally, and of course they had some small plans, but they were not going to form a group to rob like the 1.9-meter team did before.

When Su Bei showed up, everyone was surprised. As a foreigner and an exchange student, he stood out among the students and was noticed by everyone the moment he entered.

But how come he came in alone?

Ignoring everyone's puzzled looks, Su Bei looked around and found a student who was barely familiar, but most importantly, whose identity was most likely correct: "Kaila, could you please give this to our team leader Meng Huai when you go out?"

In his hand was a little paper star.

The star was folded by Su Bei on the way back from the manor. When the star was opened, the words inside could be seen, which wrote about the disappearance of Jiang Tianming and others in the bell tower.

It was difficult for Su Bei to report the incident before it happened, but it would be fine to report it after it happened. With this time difference, the school could not rescue Jiang Tianming and the others in advance.

The reason why Su Bei chose to give the task of delivering intelligence to Kayla was because he believed that she was fine. From the previous comic updates, we can see that she is a relatively positive character.

There shouldn't be that many undercover agents who are as cheerful and blessed as Mo Xiaotian. The probability that Kayla is a good person is much greater than that she is a bad person.

Compared to other characters who are unknown and can be easily manipulated by comic authors to become undercover agents, it is more reliable to choose someone who is not likely to become an undercover agent to pass on intelligence.

Moreover, Su Bei did not completely trust Kaila, and he deliberately folded the paper into a star shape. In this way, once Kaila opened it once and folded it again, there would be many more creases on the paper. Meng Huai was a very qualified teacher, and the extra creases would definitely let him see the problem, so as to control Kaila who had opened the star.

Looking at the star, Kaila hesitated for a moment. She was wary and did not take it directly, but asked: "Can I ask what is inside it?"

Her caution actually reassured Su Bei. He thought for a moment and replied, "It's a loophole in this alien space."

"Then why don't you go out and hand it over to the teacher yourself?" Kayla did not believe his words rashly and asked aggressively.

"Jiang Tianming and the others are in danger because of that loophole, so I have to stay here." Su Bei answered half-truthfully.

Hearing him say this, Kaila's face changed. She asked why Jiang Tianming was not with Su Bei, and it turned out that he was in danger! In this case, it is understandable that Su Bei chose to tell his school teacher first after discovering the loophole. It was obviously because he was worried about the safety of his companions and felt that his teacher was more reliable.

Thinking of this, she finally stopped hesitating: "Okay, I'll help you."

After receiving the little star, Kaila returned to the team. She did not answer her teammates' curious questions and led them out of the alien space.

After they left, Su Bei began to look for the Knowledge Nightmare. A black book would be very conspicuous if placed on a bookshelf, but if it was placed in an entire clock tower, it would be like finding a needle in a haystack to find it.

Judging from the two previous times when the Knowledge Nightmare sucked people into the world of the book, it must be relatively close to use its ability. Therefore, it should have been within the range of the first and second floors at that time.

Afterwards, more and more students came in and out, so it should be difficult for it to move. So if nothing unexpected happens, the Knowledge Nightmare is still on the first and second floors.

After reducing the range by more than half, Su Bei was still not satisfied. Thinking about it, he took the lead and went to the second floor. Although both the first and second floors could achieve the purpose of letting the Knowledge Nightmare use its superpowers, the superpowers on the first floor were flying around at that time, and it would be difficult for it to stay out of trouble. So Su Bei thought it was more likely to hide on the second floor.

The interior cross-section of the entire clock tower is actually not very large, it is square, and you can see it all at a glance. This terrain is convenient for Su Bei to use his supernatural powers. He directly turned on the [Destiny Gear], and a destiny compass suddenly appeared on the ceiling.

Oh wow, found it.

It must be said that hiding in this position is indeed not easy to be found. If he really didn't know the other party's location, it would take a long time to find it. But unfortunately, he knew it.

Su Bei raised the corner of his mouth and looked up at that location: "Come out, I found you."

There was no movement on the ceiling, so he must have suspected that he was trying to blow himself up. This was normal. If he was found out, it would be a shame. But if he was found out, it would be a shame.

Unfortunately, Su Bei was not trying to trick it, he was just too lazy to climb up. Seeing that the other party did not come out, he guessed its intention and immediately reported a string of coordinates: "34, 56, you should know what this means."

The Knowledge Nightmare had read so much human knowledge, so of course he had learned the coordinates. After a little thought, he realized that he was indeed exposed, so he had no choice but to fall from the ceiling with a "click".

There was no way to get down, the Knowledge Nightmare had no ability to attack or defend itself. Since its position had been exposed, it was impossible to run away. The props that the "Black Flash" organization gave it to repeatedly absorb people had also been used up. It had no means to attack Su Bei, so what else could it do except to resign itself?

Su Bei walked over, bent down, picked up the black book on the ground, patted the dust off it, and said with a smile: "I have already told the teacher, they will probably be here soon."

Hearing this, the Knowledge Nightmare shuddered: "What do you want to do?"

It knew that since Su Bei could find him, he must have known where Jiang Tianming and the others were. Although he said that he had told the teacher, he did not mean to be threatening, but rather a little ambiguous. This gave the Knowledge Nightmare some hope in his heart. What if Su Bei chose to keep it secret for his own benefit?

"You must be the one who wants to do something." Su Bei still had that expression on his face. "You are really not afraid of failure when you are trying to steal from a tiger."

To plot against a tiger! How did the blond boy in front of him know that he had cooperated with the "Black Flash" organization? The Knowledge Nightmare Beast was shocked, and felt as if a whole book had been spread out and he could see everything at a glance.

Its thoughts were confused for a moment and it had no time to think about what Su Bei meant.

Seeing that the other party had not spoken, Su Bei guessed that it was either thinking or doubting what he said, or it simply did not understand. He immediately sneered: "Have you ever thought that you have been tricked by 'Black Flash'?"

"How could that be!" The Knowledge Nightmare subconsciously refuted. Just as Su Bei said before, refutation is always easier to say.

Sure enough, this guy is cooperating with the "Black Flash" organization. What I guessed should be correct. Su Bei felt more confident: "Guess what I saw when I looked at your fate."

"...what?" The Knowledge Nightmare knew his special ability from the perspective of other high-level Nightmare Beasts.

Su Bei wanted to pretend to reply to him, "You already have a way to die," but this sentence was too childish. Even though he had been trained by this comic for a long time, he still couldn't say it. He really didn't want to think while working on the villa.

Su Bei gave up trying to be cool and said honestly: "Your life is about to end."

"You are lying to me." The Nightmare of Knowledge said firmly on the surface, but in fact, it was already worried. It had been here for so long, and had always obeyed the orders of "Alpha Superpower High School" obediently, wasn't it because it didn't want to die?

But now the psychic who can see fate said that he was going to die soon. How could it not be afraid? Even though it thought that Su Bei said this to deceive it, it still did not dare to completely disbelieve it.

Seeing this, Su Bei immediately analyzed: "Now that I have caught you, it is only a matter of time and conditions for the people inside to come out. As long as they are not dead, 'Alpha Superpower High School' will not kill you. After all, you can bring them huge and long-term benefits, and you have not caused any substantial harm to us. As long as the benefits are sufficient, 'Endless Superpower Academy' will not be unjust."

At this point, he paused, giving the other party enough time to think. When he felt that the Nightmare Beast had almost understood what he meant, he asked directly: "If it's not us, then who do you think wants to kill you?"
