Chapter 184
After the division of labor was arranged, Jiang Tianming looked at Su Bei: "Are there any changes?"
He was not surprised to see Su Bei shaking his head, as this was his original arrangement.
"What if Ian lets a few people stay in the playground together?" Although there are not many students outside, there are still many people in Ian's supernatural power, and they can be fully utilized.
As he said this, Su Bei clearly saw the pointers of Ai Baozhu and others start to move away from the "injured" point. He immediately understood that Jiang Tianming's idea was correct.
He made an "OK" gesture: "Sure."
Hearing this, Jiang Tianming's expression lit up with joy, and he quickly asked Ian to ask the students in "The Golden House in the Book" if any of them were willing to help. Soon, three people stood up.
Of course, three of them were chosen not because there were only three people willing to help, but because their abilities were most suitable for assisting defense. Students of this age, who still have powerful abilities, most have a heart to save the world. When Ian asked just now, a group of people jumped up and raised their hands, unhappy that they were not chosen.
When Su Bei heard Ian's description of the situation in the space, his eyes turned dead. Those who wanted to fight were locked up, and those who didn't want to fight were forced to fight. Damn it, could they be exchanged? He also wanted to spend the crisis in Ian's space in peace.
"That's settled then, let's get started now." After everything was ready, Jiang Tianming waved his hand and everyone started to act separately.
Su Bei followed Ian to get the key. It was Ian who took the initiative to ask him to go. Originally, Su Bei wanted to find a place to put it, but the task of getting the key was also easy, so he agreed.
With the invisibility charm, the two walked to the sports office very easily. On the way, Ian said with some concern: "What do you think of the teachers? Teacher Meng took the things you brought back. Can you persuade Senior Cyril to leave?"
"Obviously not." Su Bei shrugged. "Ten minutes have passed since the teacher got the thing. Cyril should have finished reading it. But he still hasn't reacted. It's obvious that he doesn't intend to give up the mission."
Ian believed in his judgment and sighed: "Fortunately, we didn't waste time just now. Now we have a plan. I hope it can solve the school's difficulties."
Arriving at the PE office, Ian found the key to the playground gate with ease, twirled it around on his fingers, and said proudly, "My good relationship with the teacher is worth it. It finally came in handy."
"Teacher would cry if she knew that she is only useful for this purpose in your heart." Su Bei said with a smile and found a chair to sit down.
Because they found the key quickly, they didn't need to rush to the playground, they just had to walk slowly. After all, they had to give others some time to attract the infected, and it would be troublesome if they walked too early.
Ian was bored and suddenly remembered something. He looked at Su Bei hesitantly and said, "Speaking of which, Su Bei, when you said that my ability could achieve eternal life, did you already foresee what happened in the world in the book?"
This was something he suddenly realized last night, and Su Bei's expression when he said this was also very intriguing. But he was so stupid that he didn't realize anything and just ignored it.
"You have a really long reaction time." Su Bei said with admiration.
Ian was silent for a moment, then continued, "It was only last night that I realized that the book world created by the Black Flash organization was probably aimed at our group. The others were implicated by us."
"That's right." Su Bei nodded affirmatively.
Seeing him like this, Ian smiled bitterly: "You really don't hide it at all. I thought you would at least say a few polite words like 'It's not your fault' or 'It's not your fault'."
"Do you really think I'm good at being polite?" Su Bei looked at him curiously, not knowing when he had left such an impression on the other party.
Thinking of Su Bei saying those polite words that ordinary people would say, Ian shook his head violently and said sincerely: "You'd better stay like this."
When we arrived at the playground, we could see from a distance that a large number of people had gathered inside. A large number of infected people were surrounding us in circles, attacking us crazily. There were also a steady stream of infected people outside, who entered the playground under the guidance of their classmates.
Si Zhaohua in the sky saw them at a glance and quickly flew over to take Ian away. The students that Ian had originally put in the "Golden Room" were left in the fighting classroom. Now his supernatural space was basically empty, just enough for him to take Ai Baozhu and the others away.
Seeing that it was almost time, Jiang Tianming gestured to Su Bei outside to lock up immediately. Su Bei immediately used the gears to make a way for himself and quickly ran over to close the playground gate.
Immediately afterwards, Si Zhaohua led Ian to descend from the sky, sucked Ai Baozhu and others in and ran away. The plan was a perfect success.
Since they cannot use their superpowers, the infected people cannot escape from the high walls of the playground of the Superpower Academy even if they are in very strong physical condition.
"Great!" Ian said happily when everyone gathered together, "This way we don't have to hide from each other anymore. Now it depends on whether the teachers can solve the problem."
If it can be solved, then everything will be fine. If it can't be solved... to be honest, with the ability of these students, they won't be able to create any sparks.
"Ring, ring, ring!" Suddenly Jiang Tianming's phone rang. He took out his phone and looked at it, then froze in place. People were curious about his behavior and came over to take a look, and were also froze.
What was clearly displayed on the mobile phone screen was a video call from Meng Huai.
"What's going on?" Ai Baozhu asked in confusion, "Isn't it too free to make a video call to the teacher in that place?"
It was indeed magical. Is there internet in that place? Jiang Tianming answered the phone in confusion, and saw Meng Huai's face appear on the screen.
The starry sky was still in the background behind him, and he seemed to be in a good mood: "Well done, I'll reward you by watching a live broadcast."
The camera then turned and Cyril and the white-bearded principal appeared on the screen. Their clothes were torn in many places and they looked a little shabby, but their injuries were not serious.
There is a screen in front of Cyril, and the screen shows the scene from "Alpha High School", that is, they are watching their teachers watching them, which is called nesting dolls in short.
"I didn't expect that they could actually deal with the students I controlled." Cyril looked very angry. "Hmph, I'll leave now, but you won't be so lucky next time!"
Seeing that he was really planning to leave, a subordinate in black couldn't help but remind him: "Master Cyril, this is a special order from the organization..."
Before he could finish his words, Cyril glared at him sinisterly: "Do you have any objection to my decision?"
"No, no." The other party immediately shook his head.
"Cyril." The white-bearded principal suddenly spoke. As soon as he spoke, the blond man opposite him withdrew his gaze from his subordinate. However, he did not look at him either. Instead, he lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Even after so many years, the white-bearded principal still knows his favorite student very well. He sighed helplessly: "Alpha Superpower High School welcomes you back anytime, I welcome you back anytime."
"Tsk, who wants to come back?" Cyril sneered, his expression showing his viciousness. "It's just that those exchange students are a little better this time. I won't give you any chances next time!"
After saying that, he waved his hand, rang the bell and called back his troops. He led a group of men in black and turned into a black mist, disappearing suddenly into the starry sky. The next second, the students who had changed in the school fell unconscious one after another.
Ian shook his head and said, "Senior Cyril must have let us go. He feels that it is not yet time to retreat."
Although Cyril kept saying that they retreated because their plan failed, the infected were still under his control, and the teachers were unable to get out of that space. As Ian said, it was far from time for them to retreat.
It can be said that anyone with a discerning eye can see that Cyril is letting the game go.
"It's more than just releasing water, it's already reached the level of releasing the sea." Even Lan Subing couldn't help but complain, then she thought of something and looked at Jiang Tianming and Su Bei, "Could it be that the thing you brought back worked?"
Jiang Tianming thought the same and nodded: "It should be that Cyril could not disobey the mission of the Black Flash organization, and did not want to harm the principal and students, even though it ended in this way."
After all, he originally hated the principal only because he thought he had delayed his best friend Liz, and the deeper his love, the deeper his hatred. Now that he found that the principal not only did nothing wrong, but also helped Liz cover up the mistakes, he naturally had no intention of revenge.
"I don't know if he will be treated as a traitor and severely punished after he returns." Lan Subing said with some concern, "Even that subordinate can see that he is letting the sea go."
Si Zhaohua on the other side shook his head confidently: "No, the Black Flash organization will only give him a minor punishment at most."
"Why?" Jiang Tianming asked curiously.
Si Zhaohua replied: "There is no doubt that Cyril is very strong. No leader of any force wants such a strong subordinate to be alienated from him. Since Cyril chose to go back instead of directly defecting, whether it is because he has leverage in the hands of the Black Flash organization or because he voluntarily went back because of similar aspirations, as long as he goes back, it proves that he can still be used. Therefore, in order to stabilize him, the Black Flash organization will not impose any major punishment."
After thinking for a while, he added, "Maybe Cyril will be allowed to make amends for his crime. This is the best solution. But he probably won't be allowed to deal with the affairs of 'Alpha Supernatural High School' anymore."
Because he is the future head of the family, Si Zhaohua has been learning how to employ people since he was a child. The Si family is also a very powerful force, and his judgment is not much different from the considerations of the leader of the "Black Flash" organization.
Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, Lan Subing suddenly spoke with a serious expression: "Then he wouldn't be sent to target our college, right?"
Everyone: “…”
It must be said that this speculation is very likely. Although the "Black Flash" organization has personnel in various countries, their main battlefield is still in their own country. In addition, they have failed to succeed in targeting the "Infinite Power Academy" several times before, so it is very likely that they will send a stronger person now.
Ian and his friends who were listening to their analysis felt as if they had gotten the upper hand. This was clearly an old story of their own academy, but in the end it was the friendly school that suffered the consequences.
"Well, if your school encounters danger, you can ask our school for help. I think the principal and others will be willing to help you." Ian said somewhat embarrassedly.
Elvis, the principal's relative, snorted coldly: "It's just a 'Black Flash' organization. Are we afraid of them when our two schools join forces?"
"That's right!" Ian nodded affirmatively, "It will be fine!"
Seeing the two of them talking nonsense and adding pressure to the school, Tiffany, who usually doesn't talk much, finally couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted them: "The teachers are here."
Everyone turned around and saw a group of teachers coming from the direction of the teaching building and dormitory. After Cyril and his group disappeared, the starry sky also disappeared, and the teachers returned to their original positions.
According to their later description, Cyril should have taken advantage of this undercover period to install a space-changing prop on each of them, which could allow them to come to another space once activated.
It can be said that all the teachers were too careless, and they let the other party succeed so easily. Even if the school is safer, they should check regularly to see if they have any supernatural props or have been subjected to any supernatural effects. But no one checked for several months, which is really too lax!
Therefore, after the whole incident was over, all the teachers of "Alpha Supernatural High School" were punished to write a ten-thousand-word review and hold a special review meeting to apologize to all the students in the school.
The principal even arranged for them to have regular checkups every two months to prevent such incidents from happening again.
But that's all in the past. What we need to do now is to send all the unconscious students to the infirmary for examination, so that they don't have any sequelae.
Meng Huai was not in a hurry to help. They were exchange students from other schools. It was already a gesture of loyalty that they helped each other to solve the crisis before. There was no need to be so anxious even if they wanted to help now.
Meng Huai called the five people from Su Bei to a corner and said in a low voice: "The principal should call you over tomorrow at the latest to discuss rewards. You can think about what you want to ask for now. Remember that improving your strength is the first priority. You will face many hardships in the future. If you don't have enough strength, you will fail halfway."
The five people nodded one after another. They also knew the importance of strength. After finishing this matter, Meng Huai asked again: "Do you all know the secret of Cyril's incident?"
"Only Su Bei and I knew about it." Jiang Tianming replied, and mentioned Liz's mother's request at the time that the video should not be shown to others.
This coincided with Meng Huai's idea: "Since you three don't know, then you don't need to know. It's just some old things. As for you two, you are not allowed to tell anyone about this. If it gets out and Cyril takes revenge, the academy won't be able to avenge you for your bad mouth."
From what he saw from Cyril's behavior at the time, the other party probably didn't think Liz had done anything wrong. But if this matter were made public, Liz would definitely be criticized, and Cyril would definitely be unhappy.
He is a very powerful psychic. If he insists on targeting someone, it will be difficult to escape unless Jiang Tianming and the others stay in the academy and don't go out.
"We understand!" Jiang Tianming nodded, and the others gave up the intention of asking further questions. It was actually a good thing for them not to know some things.
It took quite a while to move all the students to the infirmary, and it was already 8pm when they were all moved. Later, many of the infected people had woken up and looked fine, but they had lost their memory of attacking their classmates.
The school doctor checked and said that these students had no sequelae and would be able to move around normally. However, one of the school doctors said that if Cyril came back next time, they might get bitten without being bitten.
It is as if Cyril has left a seed in their bodies, which is usually invisible but will immediately take root and sprout once he stimulates it.
This is because the school doctor is very skilled. If it were someone else, they might not have noticed this at all.
It is definitely not a good idea to leave this trouble. Although it seems that Cyril, who has lost the desire for revenge, will not make a comeback, who can predict what will happen in the future? Only if you have no loopholes can you avoid being taken advantage of by others.
But this is a matter for the school, and the Black Flash raid has added a lot of work to their workload. Not only do they need to solve the health problems of the students, but they also have to tell the students' parents about the incident, and they may also have to make a public announcement to the supernatural community.
In addition, there is another very important point, which is to launch revenge against the "Black Flash" organization.
This kind of revenge is not only to save face, but also to shock the villains to prevent them from thinking that "Alpha Superpower High School" is an easy target.
The Feng family did a good job in this regard. If you provoke them, they will announce your death in advance. Who can bear this?
However, on an exclusive chat platform for people with special abilities, a small number of people with special abilities thought that being able to predict their own time of death for free was a very profitable thing, and they even discussed forming a group to come to his house to cause trouble.
How is this not a new way to commit suicide?
Back to "Alpha Supernatural High School", just as Su Bei was about to go to eat, he heard the update notification of "Manga Consciousness". Thinking of the series of accidents that happened in "Alpha Supernatural High School" during this period, he estimated that this time the whole chapter of the comic might be about the plot of "Alpha Supernatural High School".
After dinner, Su Bei returned to the dormitory, closed the door, and started reading comics.
The beginning is a continuation of the previous story, which is the plot of Jiang Tianming and his friends entering the world of the book. Because there is only one building in the entire map, the people trapped in the world of the book quickly gathered. After finding that Su Bei was not there, they searched for a while, and the barrage was full of nonsense such as "Su Bei slipped away early again".
At first they didn't find any problems. It seemed like just an ordinary building, with no monsters, no levels, except that they couldn't get out.
I thought it was an escape room game until ten minutes passed and A Baozhu screamed for the first time: "Oh my God! Am I getting old?"
Seeing this, Su Bei couldn't help but want to laugh. The setting of the world in this book is that people age one year every ten minutes. The change of one year is really not noticeable to a person. Normally, it takes at least an hour for someone to notice the increase in age.
But Ai Baozhu was an exception. She took great care of her appearance and often looked in the mirror. She could notice every subtle change on her face, so she noticed it as soon as it changed.
Her shout attracted Si Zhaohua and others who were exploring the map and informed them of her discovery. Although Si Zhaohua and others did not see any changes in Ai Baozhu, since she said so, everyone naturally chose to believe it.
After all, that was A Baozhu, and she would never make a wrong judgment about her appearance.
Amidst the barrage of "hahahaha", the people in the comics began to study the problem of the face. According to Ai Baozhu, not only her, but also Si Zhaohua, Lan Subing, Jiang Tianming and others have changed.
But after all, he was only one year older, and even Ai Baozhu couldn't accurately tell what had changed, so everyone had to put this doubt aside for the time being and continue exploring the building.
Although there is nothing wrong with this building, there is one notable feature: every household, even in the corridors, has traces of "time" everywhere. There are stagnant watches, alarm clocks, clocks, calendars in the house... On the walls of the corridors, there are countdowns to demolition and college entrance examinations, etc.
The various symbols representing time and the discovery of the A-Bal have made people have some guesses in their minds. It remains to be seen whether these guesses are true or not.
When the ten minutes were up, A Baozhu, who had been looking at the mirror frantically, exclaimed again. She felt that she had aged a little and now looked almost an adult.
Others still couldn't see any changes in her, but two times were enough to prove that Ai Baozhu's discovery was correct. Every ten minutes, their faces would change, or grow a little bigger.
People realized the problem and began to look for solutions.
What followed was a long process of searching and failure. Su Bei, who already knew the result, quickly skipped over it and did not stop turning pages until a new variable appeared.
Three hours had passed since they were last there, which meant that everyone had grown eighteen years older. Such a change could not be ignored, as everyone knew the rule of the world in the book - growing one year older every ten minutes.
Under such circumstances, the "Alpha Supernatural High School" trio, namely Elvis and his two companions, became the focus of everyone's attention. Entering Ian's "The Golden House in the Book" can prevent them from being disturbed by the rules of the world in the book, and Elvis can reverse the changes brought about here.
If they were both popular, then Tiffany was hated. Her ability was to pay for eternal virginity, otherwise it couldn't make others as young as her. However, if it wasn't the last minute, no one would be willing to be eternally young.
Therefore, she is currently useless to everyone and is not affected by the world in the book. Coupled with the stereotypes brought about by her superpowers, she will naturally be regarded as a thorn in the eyes of everyone.
But Tiffany herself didn't care what others thought, and with Elvis and the other guy around, nothing happened.
Ian was responsible for putting the fifty or so people who came in into the "Golden House in Books" in turn, while Elvis was responsible for using the "Hourglass of Time" to ensure that the remaining few people's ages did not continue to grow. It was a barely achieved balance.
