Chapter 197
As for the wooden iron man, the wounds on his body can be considered as physical evidence. But if he is handed over, his identity as a robot will be exposed. The troubles that will be caused to the wooden iron man are unimaginable.
As for the evidence of the boss's past crimes, there was no need to even think about it. After so many years, he would have surely disposed of all the evidence long ago.
The only thing that can be said is that he turned humans into butler assistants, but as long as the humans who are transformed don't mind, there is no problem. Unless the scale is large, otherwise the supernatural government will not care about supernatural experiments. And just looking at Xiaofen's performance, we can know that these souls reshaped by [Life Essence] are difficult to betray the boss.
Unless there is absolutely solid evidence, it is easy to be fooled and change sides. Just like Xiaofen, who was actually sober enough before, but in the end he still couldn't resist the boss's sugar-coated bullets.
And as long as the boss does not directly admit in the purchase contract that those housekeeper assistants are pure-blooded robots, the seller cannot hold him responsible, and the most he can do is not buy from them in the future.
"So what if the supernatural government can't catch you?" Si Zhaohua laughed in anger, "Aren't there enough ways for the supernatural world to make a person die quietly?"
After they made this public, with the endorsement of the Infinite Power Academy, Life Science Machinery Co., Ltd. would definitely not be able to continue. And for a power person who had lost his social status, it would be easy for the Si family to deal with him.
Of course, they can also choose to put pressure on the government, forcing the superpower government to deal with this matter. With the endorsement of a large family and the "Infinite Superpower Academy", the superpower government cannot ignore it.
As long as they are willing to accept the case, they can dig the truth out of the boss even through torture.
"I thought the young master of the Si family was very righteous, but I didn't expect that he would use his power to overpower others." The boss said in surprise.
Si Zhaohua curled his lips in disdain, his sky-blue eyes filled with the indifference that only belongs to the superior: "If I have the power but don't use it, then what kind of young master am I?"
As the young master carefully cultivated by the Si family, Si Zhaohua would never be stingy in using his family background. In his father's words: A smart person will not abandon his own advantages. It is foolish to lower himself to the same position as the weak in pursuit of so-called fairness.
However, although his mind told him that it was absolutely right to do so, emotionally, Si Zhaohua couldn't help but glance at his companions around him inconspicuously - would they think there was something wrong with his actions?
Maybe Jiang Tianming and others will not think there is a problem now, after all, they are facing a common enemy. But after the matter is over, will they feel alienated when they recall this incident? After all, he can use his power to suppress the boss, so he can naturally do the same to his classmates.
In the past few years, Si Zhaohua had only two real friends, one of whom was more interested in profit. Under such circumstances, he naturally valued the friendship of Class S. Here, he was not flattered at all, as if he was just an ordinary student.
Si Zhaohua didn't want to destroy this atmosphere from the bottom of his heart. He was afraid that once he used his power, his classmates would immediately feel upset and alienate him. Even if they didn't think his behavior was wrong, they would subconsciously create a gap between them. This is human nature and it is inevitable.
The boss is a man of great vision. Although Si Zhaohua appeared tough, he could still understand the other party's concerns from his hidden eyes.
"Don't be so stubborn, kid." He glanced at Jiang Tianming and the others meaningfully, and said calmly, "If you are really willing to do this for me, it would be my honor."
From the beginning to the end, he did not point out what Si Zhaohua was worried about, because the boss knew very well that once he said it, Jiang Tianming and others would definitely persuade Si Zhaohua not to care about his words, and they didn't care about these. If Si Zhaohua was persuaded, then he would really have no room for maneuver.
"I..." Si Zhaohua hesitated, but quickly responded, "Even if I don't have evidence, it doesn't mean that the teachers don't have evidence."
According to what Su Bei said just now, the teachers will be back soon, which means they are not in danger. Since they are not in danger, maybe they have collected useful evidence.
The boss sneered: "Why do you think you were able to fight me under such circumstances? It was because trapping them took up a lot of my energy. They were trapped in a room by me the whole time and never got out, let alone collecting evidence."
The room was filled with extremely concentrated life fluid, and there was also a prop he prepared specifically for Rayzen, which prevented him from leaving for vacation via teleportation.
In fact, it stands to reason that Lei Zeen's ability can completely break through the blockade of his props and take Meng Huai away directly. But if that were the case, his ability would be temporarily blocked. And he could only use the already set up teleportation array, which means returning directly to the "Endless Ability Academy".
It takes a lot of time to get back to the processing plant from the "Endless Power Academy", and by then the flowers will be cold. Therefore, the two people can only choose one person to leave and go back to the academy to report the news and ask for reinforcements, while the other stays here to consume the boss's power and strive for a greater victory for Jiang Tianming and others.
Just as the boss said, if he didn't need to maintain the extremely high concentration of life fluid in the entire room, it would be easy for him to defeat those students who "brought their families with them" with his mental strength and supernatural powers.
At this moment, the door was kicked open. Meng Huai walked in and looked around. He had just seen the seriously injured wooden iron man outside, and now he sneered with a sullen face: "I will not give students the opportunity to do this kind of good deed of punishing criminals."
When he arrived, he happened to hear the conversation just now, and understood Si Zhaohua's concerns, and also understood the boss's sinister intentions. Then Si Zhaohua cared about these, but he didn't. Some things don't need to be borne by students, and Meng Huai happily accepted the title of "using power to suppress others"!
"Well, did you forget someone?" Su Bei jumped down from the platform briskly, "You dragged me into this without permission. I'm a little angry too."
Seeing him suddenly jump out at this time, Jiang Tianming's eyes suddenly lit up: "Do you have any evidence?"
Su Bei smiled and opened the album on his phone, then clicked on the video. When they saw the introduction of Su Bei's video at the beginning, everyone was still very confused. But the more they watched, the brighter their eyes became.
The video shows a boss fighting with students, as well as the boss's voice persuading students to accept his transformation.
There is no doubt that this video alone is enough to prove conclusively that the boss had the intention and behavior to harm students, which is a serious crime in the supernatural world.
"How could you--" The boss's calm expression turned panic after seeing the video. He wanted to ask how Su Bei had this video, but suddenly remembered that Su Bei had disappeared a long time ago, so it made sense for him to appear anywhere, so he stopped talking.
He now began to regret his underestimation of Su Bei. He thought that he had sensed danger and left in fear, but he never expected that he would come back.
What's even more unexpected to the boss is that he was so focused on guarding against supernatural means that he forgot there was such a simple way to preserve evidence.
The moment he handed the evidence to the teacher, Su Bei raised his eyebrows. He just heard the prompt sound of "Manga Consciousness", and the next chapter of the manga has been updated.
"As expected of you..." Qi Huang said with emotion on the bus back to school, "This evidence comes just in time."
The other sober people in the car nodded in approval. If they could send their boss to jail through legal channels, it would definitely be more satisfying than using force to suppress others, at least in their eyes.
It was especially satisfying to see the boss swearing that they couldn't find any evidence, only to be slapped in the face by Su Bei.
Then she asked: "But when did you come back? Have you been following us?"
"When you were flying," Su Bei replied while checking his phone, "You flew well. You two are the new generation of human helicopters."
Qi Huang: “…”
Si Zhaohua: “…”
Qi Huang took a deep breath. She couldn't bear it! Su Bei had just helped them a lot, she couldn't repay kindness with hatred!
Afraid that they would really fight in the car, Qi Huang would have to use physical skills, and he would be furious if he couldn't win. The considerate Jiang Tianming quickly changed the subject: "With that video as evidence, can the boss of 'Life Technology Machinery Co., Ltd.' be sentenced to life imprisonment?"
He has not studied the laws of the supernatural world much, so he can be said to be a blank slate in this regard.
"Okay, the boss in the video is clearly trying to kill us, so as long as we persist, even if it's just attempted murder, or trying to kill so many student superpowers at once, the death penalty is enough." Si Zhaohua answered in a good mood.
In the world of ordinary people, attempted murder is punishable by imprisonment for more than three years but less than ten years. However, in the world of superpowers, students are considered the rare flowers of the motherland, so attempting to murder them is an even greater crime.
Jiang Tianming breathed a sigh of relief: "Sending the culprit to prison can also comfort the souls of those he killed. The wooden iron man will definitely be very happy when he wakes up."
At this point, his high spirits fell again. All his unconscious companions were taken away by Lei Zeen, and now they were unknown whether they were alive or dead.
The others were fine, although they were green, they didn't look like they were in danger. But the wooden iron man was different, he tore half of his flesh and blood alive, and returned the green heart that belonged to the boss in his body to him.
Can you survive without a heart? People don't dare to think about it. They just hate themselves for not discovering the boss's conspiracy earlier, and even after discovering it, they were deceived by his eloquence.
Su Bei's disappearance was a great reminder, and they were also suspicious at the time, so why didn't they persist? They were not like the wooden iron man, who naturally had a good impression of the boss. However, because of the change in the wooden iron man's attitude and the boss's outstanding rhetoric, they subconsciously relaxed their vigilance against him.
Ling You, who had been silent the whole time, expressed everyone's thoughts: "It's still too easy to believe."
After returning to the academy, everyone rushed to the infirmary. When they arrived, the infirmary was already crowded, not only with unconscious students, but also with a doctor and Lei Zeen.
Meng Huai is not here. He is responsible for sending his boss to the relevant department of the supernatural government and has not returned yet.
The wooden iron man was not there either. His condition was more serious and needed to be kept secret, so he was placed in another infirmary. Ye Lin had already fed him a highly concentrated liquid produced by the [Spring of Life], which temporarily saved his life.
But he couldn't wake up at all, he could only barely survive, just hanging on for a breath. But this is normal, how can a human live without a heart? Being able to save his life is considered a great power for a supernatural person.
The "Infinite Power Academy" is looking for a superpower who can create organs. This person is not a nobody, and a superpower whose superpower is "Regeneration" is working at the "First Superpower Hospital".
Jiang Tianming also made a suggestion, asking the academy to find the wooden man's parents. The wooden man's original skin was made by this scientist. Even if he couldn't provide any effective help for the wooden man's missing heart, he could at least help him restore his body.
In addition, if a child is injured, the parents should indeed be notified. Even though everyone now knows that the Iron Man's parents are not his real relatives, as long as he thinks that they are his parents, that is enough.
Ye Lin straightened up, took the stethoscope off her ear, and after discussing with several other doctors, she gave the result: "The food they ate is not harmful to their bodies, and even has a certain improvement effect. However, the improved bodies are also more easily dissolved in the [Life Essence], which is equivalent to the... pickling work before transforming people into robots."
When checking on the students just now, Lei Zeen had already told her the general situation, so Ye Lin roughly guessed the boss's purpose.
"So as long as we don't let them come into contact with the [Life Essence], there won't be any problem, right?" Jiang Tianming asked.
Ye Lin nodded: "That's right, they haven't woken up yet only because their bodies are still receiving that energy. So don't worry, they will wake up tonight at the latest."
This is also the reason why the boss is so confident. The marks he left in the bodies of Wu Mingbai and others cannot be regarded as evidence of his murder of students, because this thing itself is good for people with special abilities.
Even if the government found out the secret like Ye Lin did, as long as he hadn't dissolved those students into the [Life Essence], it would not constitute a crime.
"But what's interesting is that according to Doctor Li's observation, the food in their bodies should have already taken effect." Ye Lin's fingers were wrapped around the end of the tender green braid, and she said with interest, "That is to say, normally, the boss of 'Life Technology Machinery Co., Ltd.' should have started to transform them long before you rescued them."
Everyone's heart tightened when they heard this. Ye Lin changed the subject and continued, "But it seems that the food in their bodies has been stagnant for a long time and has not been used. That's why they had to wait until you rescued them."
After hearing that Wu Mingbai and the others were fine, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, even though they didn't understand why the food didn't work. They were glad that everyone was fine. They were afraid that eating this thing would absorb their vitality, which would be a huge loss. Vitality is not something that can be easily replenished.
"As for the wooden iron man... the academy will do its best to treat him." Speaking of another student who was not here, Ye Lin also sighed. With such injuries, she really had no confidence that the wooden iron man could recover.
However, she would not tell the students about such worries. She gently comforted them: "You must be tired after going through so much today. Go back and rest now. Tomorrow and the next two days are weekends, so you can take a break."
The five of them wasted no time, thanked Ye Lin, and left the infirmary.
Back in the dormitory, Su Bei opened the comic. He had read part of it on the bus before, and when he got off the bus, he saw the part where they had poor coordination and had to go to "Life Science Machinery Co., Ltd." to observe training.
As we continue reading, the author uses a more fairy-tale style to depict the interior of the factory. It is slightly different from reality, but it is definitely more attractive to readers.
When Lan Subing complained that the moving parts looked like the furniture in Beauty and the Beast, the author used the painting method of Beauty and the Beast to draw a yellow skirt for Lan Subing and let the parts dance around her. In the distance was Jiang Tianming who turned into a beast and a group of students who turned into dwarfs.
The station is out of tune!
Seeing this paragraph, Su Bei was completely furious. Isn't this author afraid of receiving a lawyer's letter for doing this? He strongly suggested that Dionnie sue him!
Readers are naturally happy to see the author's brief change of style. Amidst a burst of "hahahaha", the picture returns to normal and the event officially begins.
As the red light flashed, everyone learned that the housekeeper's assistant had escaped, and then began to search. This section mainly focused on the second floor. After all, nothing special happened on the first floor, and the dead person was found on the second floor.
After the deceased appeared, Su Bei mainly watched the part of the plot in which he did not participate.
First, Meng Huai and Director Zhang went down from the second floor to report the death to the supernatural government. As soon as they went down, Director Zhang received a text message from his boss, who led Meng Huai and Lei Zeen to the reception room.
The camera turned and the next scene was the first floor. Jiang Tianming and his friends accidentally touched the mechanism and fell into the warehouse space, where they began to fight with Xiaofen. Xiaofen had obviously discovered this warehouse space a long time ago. In order to escape smoothly, she set up many traps inside, which really made Jiang Tianming and his friends suffer a lot.
Just as Jiang Tianming said, the wooden iron man indeed revealed many flaws during the process of being injured, including but not limited to black smoke coming out of his elbows, wires popping out of his collar, etc.
Seeing him like this, Su Bei couldn't help but feel a little funny. You know, the wooden iron man has been injured before, but he has never had so many flaws, at most only occasionally.
The reason why he was so unlucky to be discovered directly this time, besides the fact that he was injured in the same way by the butler's assistant, who was therefore more restrained, was probably because the author had drawn his plot into his mind.
This is how murder works in a drama, there is no way to avoid it.
The readers of the three-dimensional world outside of the comics have obviously also noticed the abnormality of the wooden iron man. In fact, the wooden iron man's performance was very abnormal before he came to "Life Technology Machinery Co., Ltd.", and now so many flaws have been revealed.
Therefore, many smart readers have roughly guessed his identity.
After Jiang Tianming and his team finally succeeded in catching Xiaofen, the camera turned and came to Wu Mingliang. The teacher left, and it was noon, so everyone was taken by Director Zhang to eat.
The green snacks in the comics are much more obvious than in reality. The author is just short of saying that there is something wrong with these foods.
However, the characters in the comics did not have such a God's perspective. They ate the poisoned food with relish amidst a barrage of "Don't eat it!"
Just when readers were feeling helpless and hated that their mouths couldn't fit into the comics, Su Bei's performance stood out.
"I bet 50 cents on Su Bei not because I really want to go to the toilet"
"Ahhhhhhhh! Su Bei ran away! He must have noticed something wrong!"
"Relieved, at least we were not wiped out"
"Su Bei knew there was something wrong with the food, why didn't he warn others?"
"You are number one in avoiding danger"
"I advise you to stop doing this if you are a moral kidnapper."
The next plot has nothing to do with Su Bei. Wu Mingbai and others followed Director Zhang to a lounge without any precautions. Then Feng Lan's face suddenly changed. While reminding everyone that there was a problem here, he immediately turned into a capsule and crushed it. As he moved, a layer of blue light flashed on all the students.
Before everyone could react, they collapsed one after another and fell into a coma.
So that's it! Su Bei suddenly realized. What Ye Lin said before, that the food in their bodies had no effect, was probably because of Feng Lan's props.
Feng Lan, the patriarch of the Feng family, had numerous props on him. In this situation, he already knew that the food they had just eaten was problematic, so he took out the prop that he thought was most likely to be effective.
This wave is a self-rescue, and it is very successful. [Prophecy] This ability is a perfect match with Feng Lan's full of props. Even if he predicts danger only five seconds before the incident, he can still fight for a glimmer of hope with the help of props.
After everyone got down, the boss came out from behind the scenes. He stood in front of everyone, looked them over, and then frowned and said, "Did you use a prop? Your supernatural power doesn't work."
After revealing the function of the prop used by Feng Lan, the camera returned to Jiang Tianming and his team. Xiaofen recognized that Jiang Tianming and his team were not in the same group as the boss, and immediately asked them for help.
This coincides with the plot just now, making everyone believe that the boss is a villain.
Because Jiang Tianming and others did not believe Xiaofen's testimony, Mu Tieren chose to reveal his identity. His secret was finally exposed. Whether you guessed it or not, you will inevitably be surprised after hearing his life story.
I originally thought that this story would only involve people with special powers, but I didn't expect that it would also involve ordinary scientists. They were even able to give the wooden iron man a human-like appearance. Such high technology makes readers feel like they have broken through another dimension.
I thought he was on the ability track, but he suddenly went straight to the technology track.
Of course, this is not the case, and the Iron Man himself explained that at first his appearance did not resemble a real person, but because the ability he awakened was [Physical Enhancement], the physical enhancement came first, so the ability automatically made his appearance more human.
In short, the Iron Man used a considerable part of his mental power and supernatural powers to maintain his appearance. His sudden explosion was because he had taken back this part of supernatural power, which made him suddenly stronger. A more popular example is that if you usually run with weights, and suddenly take off the weights, your speed and strength will naturally increase.
