Chapter 196
By this time the boss had also reacted, his face darkened slightly, but he still had a warm smile on his face: "It's okay, I know. Fate-related psychics are just so mysterious. What an interesting kid."
After giving both parties a chance, he asked in a reasonable manner, "But when does he usually come out? It would be bad if he missed the time you left. Also, to thank you for bringing Xiao Hei to me, I have also prepared a life-enhancing meal for you. I hope that child will not miss it."
Listen, how generous he was in saying this. He was obviously tricked by Su Beixiao, but he didn't hold a grudge against him at all.
Qi Huang cursed Su Bei again in his heart, and then replied: "Usually he comes out after everything is over. Su Bei hates trouble. I'm not saying that chatting with you is a troublesome thing, maybe this kind of thing involving years of grudges is more troublesome for him."
Although he cursed Su Bei in his heart, Qi Huang still tried his best to prevent him from offending the boss. This is probably the legendary sharp tongue but soft heart.
But being angry with him was one thing, and on the other hand, Qi Huang, including Jiang Tianming and others, also had a hint of doubt in their hearts. According to their understanding of Su Bei, if there was nothing wrong, he would not leave suddenly.
Think about what he said before he left, "It's good to be vigilant." Combined with his behavior, doesn't it mean that there is something wrong with the boss and it will be dangerous to stay here?
"What a trouble..." The boss's face became better after thinking about something, and he said meaningfully, "Well, in that case, I won't look for him for now. I believe he will come out at the right time."
The invisible Su Bei naturally understood what he meant. What he meant was that if he was not asked to come out, he had better not come out and wait until the boss finished his business. Then he could come out and pretend nothing happened, and then the boss would spare his life.
Obviously this was a threat, but Su Bei didn't care. If he could really make Jiang Tianming and the others suffer a big loss, that would be a real talent. Then he could tell him to let him off.
Next, the boss asked everyone to look for the unconscious people. After following everyone to the secret room of the processing plant to confirm the location, Su Bei did not go in with them, but went straight to the first workshop. This time the plot does not involve the main line, and the sequel can be read from the comics. There is no need to follow it all the time.
If I remember correctly, there is still some remaining [Life Essence] in the first workshop. Su Bei thinks this thing is very useful. When soaking an object, it can gain a temporary life, which can be used to find out information. And when it touches a person, it can directly absorb the other person's vitality. Whether it is used for small movements or for attacking, it is a good choice.
Sure enough, in the pool of the first workshop, Su Bei saw the green liquid that had been refilled. He took out the mineral water bottle and prepared to fill a bottle. There was no need to fill too much of this thing, after all, it was the boss's ability, so it was okay to take a little, but if you took too much, it would definitely be noticed.
Just like the gears he conjured up, if someone secretly picked them up, Su Bei wouldn't be able to sense it unless he tried to sense it. But if someone clicked too many at once, he would be able to sense the existence of supernatural powers even if he didn't try to sense them.
Looking at the mineral water bottle in his hand, Su Bei hesitated for a moment. He wondered if he should prepare some more luxurious containers in the storage space, such as test tubes, gift boxes, etc.
If he wants to use the items he has collected, it would be really embarrassing if they are wrapped in mineral water bottles, plastic bags or something like that.
It's not that he is particularly concerned about his reputation. According to Su Bei himself, mineral water bottles have large capacity and are easy to obtain, so they are definitely more convenient containers for him. It's just that his character requires him to prepare some "high-end goods". Otherwise, he, a mysterious person with a destiny system, would use mineral water bottles and plastic bags, which would really break his character.
When he bent down to put something in the bottle, he suddenly realized another problem: Is the bottle considered an object?
If he uses a water bottle to hold the life essence, and the water bottle finally gains life, what should he do? And if he uses a living water bottle to hold the life essence, it will only result in the life essence being used to maintain the life of the water bottle, and it will be consumed soon.
Sighing, Su Bei began to observe the pool of life fluid. He didn't know about other things, but the material used in this pool must not be able to be brought to life by the life fluid, otherwise the pool would have come alive long ago, and the boss would not have chosen to use this pool to store superpowers.
It looks like marble, but it's not quite the same. Su Bei doesn't have earth or stone abilities, so he can't accurately determine the material of the pool. He can't just take a piece of the pool off to hold the life essence. His brows furrowed. Could it be that the life essence in front of him can't be taken away?
Wait, maybe there is another way.
Su Bei conjured up a gear and put it into the green liquid. As expected, the gear was not given life. The supernatural product was not a complete object, it was more of an energy body, so it would not be affected by the [Life Liquid].
Now that he had the materials, Su Bei stacked the gears together to form a sealed container, and then filled it with some life essence.
After collecting the Life Essence and thinking for a while, he walked towards the front door. Previously, the boss had sealed off the entire processing plant because of Xiaofen's escape. Now that Xiaofen has been found and the misunderstanding has been resolved, as long as he doesn't want to tear his relationship apart immediately, it is reasonable for the processing plant to be unsealed.
Sure enough, when he reached the door, it had reopened. Su Bei drove his invisible car and left the factory carelessly, went to a fast food restaurant outside, and had a lunch.
Although he got out, he did not plan to ask the college for help. Since the boss dared to open the door, he was definitely not afraid of someone leaking the information. Now I am afraid that no one has any real problems, and he has no other evidence. It is useless even if he reports to the school, not to mention that "Life Technology Machinery Co., Ltd." has always had a good reputation.
While eating burgers, he was thinking about this incident. Su Bei was very curious about where the two teachers Meng Huai and Lei Zeen had gone. As teachers of the "Infinite Power Academy", their strength was unquestionable, and it was impossible for them to be in danger now.
But if they were still able to move around freely, they would definitely be looking for the students. How could they disappear for so long?
Could it be that, as the boss said, they had to leave because of a temporary assignment? And because they had worked together many times before, they trusted the boss and left the students to him without any worries.
It makes sense, but it feels wrong. Is there no one in the school or the supernatural government? Is there any task that must be handed over to the two teachers who are out with students?
Compared to this possibility, Su Bei would rather believe that they were trapped by the boss. [Life Essence], I have to say this ability is really strong. If you use it to form a water ball, the people inside will never be able to leave.
Now think about it, the boss did not attack Jiang Tianming and others directly, but tried to deceive them and deal with them, maybe not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't. Most of his abilities were used to fight against Meng Huai and others, and he didn't have enough ability to deal with several S-class students.
After dinner, Su Bei stayed in the fast food restaurant for a while. Feeling that it was almost time, he got up and rushed back to the processing plant to see if he could catch the exhaust of the car in the plot.
The plot has now returned to the fourth workshop, where the wooden iron man is placed on a platform, and has fallen into a coma. Half of his body has collapsed, revealing the black metal shell inside, which is his true body.
Next to him stood the boss, who still had an elegant smile on his face. The boss was gently persuading everyone to give up resistance. He was not trying to harm them, but wanted to allow their lives to evolve to the next level.
It's funny to say that his superpower is life, but he wants to turn humans into lifeless mechanical creatures.
The ground was full of green life fluid, and everyone who was awake was in the air. Qi Huang and Si Zhaohua not only had to carry the teammates who couldn't fly, but also the unconscious teammates. Two with twelve, both of them had livid faces.
But this was not the worst. The worst was Qi Huang. Xiaofen, who was at the bottom of the team led by Qi Huang, had obviously rebelled. She kept wandering around and causing trouble, trying to pull everyone down.
And because she was at the bottom and refused to let go, Qi Huang had no way of throwing her off. He could only grit his teeth and persevere with sweat all over his face.
Ling You's ability is not very useful in this situation. Qi Huang and Si Zhaohua are already at their limit with a teammate who can't fly, and they can't use their abilities. The wooden iron man is in a coma. So the only one who can attack the boss is Jiang Tianming.
But the boss had obviously studied everyone's superpowers. He knew that Jiang Tianming's superpower was [object control]. Therefore, there was almost nothing in this workshop that could be moved, so Jiang Tianming's superpowers could not be used.
However, the boss's news was obviously out of date. Jiang Tianming's abilities include more than just [Object Control]. Whether it is [Immortal Binding Rope] or [Frost Mage], they can play a big role in this environment.
But Jiang Tianming did not take any action, obviously he was waiting for an opportunity to strike a decisive blow. If he rashly used his supernatural power, it would only cause trouble. With his current strength, if the boss knew his cards, he would definitely lose everything.
Si Zhaohua obviously knew this, so he did not urge Jiang Tianming to launch an attack immediately, but threatened him quietly: "If you fail, I can laugh at you for ten years."
Su Bei could provide some help at this time, such as adjusting their luck to create a suitable opportunity for Jiang Tianming to take action.
But this is not the case when he was in "Alpha Supernatural High School". He helped because the teachers urged him to help and he could get a lot of benefits. But here, helping has no other effect except to get thanks.
As far as the character he established in the comic is concerned, he cannot always provide help. As we all know, a favor is rewarded and a grudge is fought. If he always provides help at the critical moment, readers will get used to it. Once he fails to show up in time, he will probably be criticized by some people.
He is not afraid of being criticized. Which popular character doesn't have a few haters? And as I said before, as long as he is not disliked by the majority of people and does not affect his popularity in the plot, there is no problem.
What Su Bei is more worried about is that some people will think that he is not strong enough, which will affect his own strength.
After thinking for a while, he took out his phone and started recording, happily acting as a war reporter: "This is northern Jiangsu. The scene being recorded now is the boss of 'Life Science and Technology Machinery Co., Ltd.' intending to harm the students of Class S of 'Endless Ability Academy'. Is this a distortion of human nature or a loss of morality? Please don't leave, the exciting scenes are still continuing."
Since I can't provide direct help for the sake of my character, I'll just provide some help that might be useful. With this video, whether they can defeat and capture the boss or not, it will be enough to ruin the boss and his company's reputation in the supernatural world.
The Black Flash organization is a huge organization, and it is a big villain that he cannot deal with. But it is too easy to deal with Life Science Machinery Co., Ltd., which is obviously doing bad things and wants to be on the right side.
Su Bei is indeed a person who "bullies the weak and fears the strong". If you want to attack him even though you don't have the ability, you will have to pay a price.
Logically speaking, the boss should not be in a hurry. He only needs to wait until Si Zhaohua and Qi Huang run out of energy before he can win. But he is obviously not that calm. While he is talking nonsense, he is controlling the green liquid on the ground, trying to create a shocking and turbulent feeling.
Jiang Tianming and others who were nervous might not be able to see it, but Su Bei, who was standing by, could see the flaws at a glance. From the exposed ground, it could be seen that there was not much life essence on the ground, and it could only barely cover the ground.
Just as Su Bei thought before, the current boss could not exert his full strength. He probably used a large part of his strength on Meng Huai and the other two. Otherwise, a well-known supernatural person would definitely not be unable to deal with a few students who were full of burdens.
But to be honest, Su Bei was very curious about his boss's plan. How would he explain it to Meng Huai and the others afterwards?
First of all, he certainly couldn't treat the teacher the same way he treated the student. Although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Su Bei knew very well that both Meng Huai and Lei Ze'en were very powerful and could not be easily defeated, especially by someone outside the main storyline. The boss could at most trap them.
Now the problem is that he can't stay in the state for long. When Meng Huai and the others come out, even if he can cover up what he did to the students, it's impossible to make Meng Huai and the others lose their memory.
The crime of attacking a college teacher is serious enough in itself. The "Infinite Power College" can easily impose sanctions on "Life Technology Machinery Co., Ltd.". In this way, no matter whether they concealed the fact that they attacked students or not, there will never be such an opportunity again.
While he was thinking, the boss's broken hair that Jiang Tianming had been waiting for for a long time finally appeared. Perhaps he was a little anxious, or he felt that Jiang Tianming and others could not pose any threat to him. He actually left the platform and walked down.
This also means that he has left the Iron Man, and no matter what happens next, he cannot implicate the Iron Man, or use him as a hostage to threaten others.
Jiang Tianming's eyes flashed, and when he arrived at the center of the field, he immediately activated his supernatural power: "【Immortal Binding Rope】!"
The next second, a rope emitting a faint golden light fell from the sky and tied the boss's legs tightly. The boss was shocked by the unknown power and thought it was a prop. He reacted very quickly and immediately took out a dagger he had taken from somewhere and tried to cut off the rope on his body.
But how could a rope made with supernatural powers be cut so easily? The boss tried twice and found that he couldn't cut it. He immediately realized that the situation was not good. He began to use his common sense and mental strength to struggle to break free from the rope, while trying to move, hoping to return to his original safe place.
However, Jiang Tianming would not give him such a chance, and immediately used a freezing skill at his feet. Then there were countless hailstone attacks. Each piece of hailstone was as big as a fist, and ordinary people would be killed directly.
Jiang Tianming had obtained the supernatural powers of a high-level supernatural being, and possessed many abilities, including some that could kill people. But he couldn't use them now, and holding on to the [Immortal Binding Rope] to prevent the boss from breaking free had already consumed most of his mental energy.
[Life Essence] To use this kind of power well, you need a very high level of mental strength. As far as Su Bei knows, the boss has a high level of mental strength. Therefore, if most of his mental strength had not been consumed by the teachers, and Jiang Tianming had also improved his mental strength a lot in the previous incidents, he would definitely not be able to hold on now.
Seeing the boss' painful expression after being hit, the life essence on the ground also shrank rapidly due to his weakened control. Qi Huang immediately flapped his flaming phoenix wings and flew to the side of the wooden iron man.
She first put everyone on the ground, then kicked Xiaofen away, letting Lingyou take the others away first. Lingyou picked up the wooden iron man princess neatly, and then carried the others, and walked out quickly without any delay.
When he reached the door, he turned back to look at Si Zhaohua and said concisely, "Come back right away."
After getting rid of the "burden", Qi Huang felt relieved. She moved her wrist joints and her eyes lit up with excitement: "Finally, I have room to show my talents!"
After saying that, she folded her wings, and a fire phoenix appeared beside her. Together, she and the bird attacked the boss who was half buried in the hail.
It looked like the show was about to end. Su Bei raised his eyebrows, looked around, and then found a good spot to sit down and watch the show.
Soon Si Zhaohua also freed his hands and fought with Qi Huang. Jiang Tianming no longer had to control the two superpowers and focused all his mental energy on the [Immortal Binding Rope].
In terms of attacking ability, probably no one in Class S was better than Si Zhaohua and his companions. With the two of them attacking together, and the boss's movements being hampered, he couldn't take advantage of his physical skills. They only held out for six minutes before being defeated by Si Zhaohua and Qi Huang.
"Pa pa pa pa pa!" After the boss was tied up with the physical rope that Jiang Tianming took out from the storage space, the sound of applause suddenly came from the workshop.
The four sober people looked over vigilantly and saw Su Bei sitting leisurely on the edge of the platform, clapping at them with interest.
"Su Bei, you bastard!" Everyone was used to Su Bei's sudden disappearance and reappearance, but seeing him staying out of the matter, Qi Huang's anger still rose immediately, "You still remember to come back!"
This sounded quite resentful. Su Bei shook his head and said earnestly, "It's not good for a girl to be so irritable."
"You're so bad! I'm going to tear you apart today!" Qi Huang immediately stepped forward with her fists clenched, ready to let Su Bei know why the flowers were so red. Jiang Tianming and the other two, who were also very angry, had no intention of stopping them.
Seeing this, Su Bei jumped up, smiled awkwardly, and backed away while changing the subject: "Okay, okay, no more trouble. If nothing unexpected happens, the teachers should be here soon, so let's pack up and get ready for the academy."
Now that the boss has been arrested, he probably doesn't have the energy to continue fighting Meng Huai and the others from a distance.
Hearing that the teachers were coming back, Qi Huang's attention was diverted: "Really? Where are the teachers?"
"Then you'll have to ask the boss." Su Bei nodded at the boss.
"It's you who did it!" Qi Huang said how could the teachers abandon them and leave alone for some mission.
The others also looked at the boss angrily. Si Zhaohua said coldly: "Enjoy your last bit of freedom, because from now on you will be staying in the superpower prison permanently."
The combined crimes committed by the boss, coupled with the pressure from the Si family, will definitely lead to him being sentenced to life imprisonment.
"Haha..." Suddenly, the tied-up boss lowered his head and laughed. Although he looked frightened, he was not panicked at all, but rather had a plan in mind.
"What are you laughing at?" Si Zhaohua asked with frown.
"Of course I'm laughing at your naivety." The boss said with a smile, "Without evidence, how are you going to get the supernatural government to arrest me?"
The supernatural government is very particular about evidence when arresting people, and will only take action when there is solid evidence. On the one hand, this is a responsible act towards the suspect, and on the other hand, it is actually to save trouble.
This regulation can reduce the number of people who report crimes. After all, it is very troublesome to search for evidence by yourself and make sure that the evidence is valid. If you have that much time, you might as well solve it privately.
"How come there is no evidence for us..." Si Zhaohua suddenly stopped talking halfway. He found that he really couldn't find any conclusive evidence to prove that his boss had committed a crime.
First of all, it is unlikely that the ability of certain special people to recall this memory will be successful. This is the most basic way of solving cases in the special world. Any criminal with a little bit of brains should know how to avoid it.
The boss has been running the business for several years and has countless props at hand. It is impossible for him to leave such an obvious loophole. To be honest, there are many props in the supernatural world that block peeping, so this method will definitely not work.
Secondly, human evidence is not acceptable, the government only looks at physical evidence. Even if the so-called human evidence is a high-ranking official, such as the principal of the "Infinite Power Academy", it is not acceptable.
As for the rest of them, nothing really happened. Even for those who were unconscious, the boss might have found a way to cover up his traces.
