Chapter 201
The moment he was transferred to the black and white world, a lot of negative emotions came to Su Bei. Just as Qi Huang said, countless bad words about the people around him and about this world lingered in Su Bei's ears.
If an ordinary person heard these things suddenly while traveling through the world, he might really feel resentful. But coincidentally, Su Bei’s real complaints about this world, or his dark side, are impossible to be said in the comic world.
That is to say, this world is actually a comic world, and all of them are being controlled by the author.
Therefore, what lingered in his ears at this time were all irrelevant and painful words, such as he was the unlucky star who brought bad luck to his parents, his luck was so bad that it seemed like the world was targeting him, and he was forced to act with others even though he felt very bored...
Su Bei was indifferent to this, not even frowning. How should I put it? It felt like two parties were cursing at each other, with the other party angrily cursing "Are you an idiot?" Not to mention being angry, he even wanted to laugh.
Without a doubt, Su Bei was the first to wake up. However, there was someone who woke up at the same time as him, and that was Mo Xiaotian. He was also not affected at all, and looked around with great interest, and then he looked into Su Bei's eyes, and his eyes lit up.
This eye contact made Su Bei feel as if he were exchanging glances with a group of taxi drivers at the train station entrance.
Before he could retreat, Mo Xiaotian came up to him actively: "Su Bei, Su Bei, what did you just hear? Someone just kept muttering in my ear that I was so stupid and you would definitely dislike me. It was so annoying, but fortunately it didn't last long."
"So what do you think?" Su Bei asked curiously, changing the subject.
"I" Mo Xiaotian shook his head, "I think I'm pretty smart."
Su Bei: "..."
I have never met anyone who is so ignorant of himself.
Before he could say anything, someone already said what he wanted to complain about: "Pfft! Mo Xiaotian, can you have a little self-awareness and look at your grades before you speak?"
The one who spoke was Qi Huang, and she had also come to her senses. This was not her first time entering the nightmare world, and she was mentally prepared. In addition, she was naturally straightforward and would not hide anything in her heart, so she was not affected at all and came to her senses quickly.
Originally, she was in a bad mood because of what she had just heard, but as soon as she woke up, she heard Mo Xiaotian's words, which made her laugh.
Mo Xiaotian replied in a righteous but arrogant manner: "My grandfather said that I am a wise but foolish person."
There is no way to refute this statement. Who can tell the line between great wisdom and great foolishness? The two looked at each other and both chose to shut up. Don't argue with an idiot about idiotic things, as you will easily be dragged down to the same level by the other party.
Soon, the others also woke up one after another. It was obvious that they all heard something not so wonderful, and without Mo Xiaotian's magical speech to ease their emotions, so when they woke up, their faces were droopy.
No one was in the mood to talk, and they just waited silently for others to wake up.
"Why hasn't Jiang woken up yet?" After waiting for a while, Lan Subing noticed that Jiang Tianming still had his eyes closed, and she showed a worried expression. Hearing his words, everyone looked at Jiang Tianming.
Sure enough, at this time Jiang Tianming still had his eyes closed, his brows furrowed, as if he was struggling fiercely.
"Was he affected by those noises?" Si Zhaohua asked with a frown, looking at Wu Mingbai and the others at the same time, "Is Tianming...sad?"
"Sad things" is a nice way of saying it, but to be more precise it should be "dark side". The sounds of the Nightmare world will stimulate the dark side of human beings to the greatest extent. If you cannot resist the temptation of the dark side, your thoughts will be controlled by the dark side.
Speaking of this issue, Wu Mingbai and Lan Subing looked at each other and understood what was in each other's eyes. Jiang Tianming has a lot of worries, whether it is his identity as an orphan, being bullied occasionally, or the death of the dean's mother. However, the biggest secret should be his supernatural powers.
As Jiang Tianming's closest friends, they were probably the only ones who knew about his abilities, and how much Jiang Tianming feared his abilities. He had even told them before, "If one day he starts killing people wantonly in order to improve his strength, we must stop him without hesitation, even if it means killing him."
Seeing the ugly faces of the two, Si Zhaohua considerately did not ask any more questions, but patiently waited for Jiang Tianming to open his eyes. The others were the same, they did not believe that Jiang Tianming would really have any problems because of those words.
Jiang Tianming did not disappoint everyone's expectations. Less than five minutes later, he successfully opened his eyes. His ink-black eyes were still as clear as ever.
"Sorry to have kept you all waiting." Jiang Tianming noticed that everyone's worried eyes were on him. He understood what had happened after a moment's thought and expressed his apologies immediately.
Qi Huang shook his head: "It's okay, let's find the coordinates and see where we should go to find the Heart Nightmare Beast."
Although they knew the coordinates of the gathering place of the Heart Nightmare Beasts, it was impossible for them to be teleported there directly at the beginning, otherwise it would be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.
The location they teleported to was three or four hundred meters away from the gathering place of the Dirty Nightmare Beasts. This would not be sensed by the Dirty Nightmare Beasts, and it would also be convenient for them to find where the other party was.
While searching for the location of the gathering place, Su Bei observed the nightmare world. The main color of this world is gray, and the whole world is composed of different shades of gray, and the darkest place is even black.
I don't know if it's because they came late at night, but the sky was a dark black. No other colors could be seen, let alone stars or the moon.
If people had not had the foresight to bring searchlights, they would probably be blind by now.
Jiang Tianming, who had never been to the Nightmare World, specifically asked this question. Qi Huang gave a concise answer: "It will be brighter during the day, but only to a limited extent. But then you won't need to turn on the searchlight."
The whole space gave people a very depressing feeling. One second everyone was amused by Mo Xiaotian, and the next second the happy mood naturally disappeared and returned to calm again.
Just like what the academy said in its introduction to the Nightmare World, this place is isolated from all positive emotions. Once you enter, you will involuntarily feel depressed, miserable, and even angry.
Even the smile on Mo Xiaotian's face became less frequent. You know, in the past, when he came to such a new place, he would definitely be the happiest one.
The world of Nightmare Beasts is not an empty wasteland. Looking around, you can see many black stones of different sizes, and trees that are either dry or growing strangely.
In addition to these, of course there are the most common Nightmare Beasts here. Su Bei and his team were lucky. There didn't seem to be any particularly powerful Nightmare Beasts where they landed. They were just some low-level Nightmare Beasts like rabbits and mice. They were easily destroyed without using any special powers.
In the Nightmare World, you have to be more careful when using your powers, otherwise it is easy to attract some more powerful Nightmare Beasts. It is easy for a person with a power to attract the attention of Nightmare Beasts. If you use your powers, your own smell will become stronger, and it will be easier for Nightmare Beasts to follow your smell.
After destroying a batch of nightmare beasts, seeing many more nightmare beasts rushing towards this side in the distance, Ai Baozhu suddenly thought of something and took out a bottle of exquisitely packaged pink perfume: "Come on, everyone, spray it. This is the 'odorless perfume' I specially prepared. It can cover up the aura of the superpowers on us."
"Is it possible to use superpowers without being detected?" Lan Subing asked curiously while accepting her help.
Ai Baozhu shrugged: "Of course not. If it were so powerful, it would have been sold out by all the major families long ago."
If you compare the superpowers to lamb, then the process of using their superpowers is like roasting lamb. "Odorless perfume" can only cover up the smell of lamb, turning it into orange. But if you start roasting, then what the nightmare beasts smell is lamb roasted with orange. It can't cover it up at all.
After everyone had applied the perfume, the nightmare beasts calmed down. Except for a few that could see them, no other nightmare beasts came over just for them.
Everyone was finally able to find their way with peace of mind. Si Zhaohua was also a big prop user, and he directly took out a compass with something that looked like a dragon-finding rod mounted on it: "This is the 'Nightmare Compass', which points to the place with the highest concentration of Nightmare Beasts. It is usually used to check the nearest gathering place of Nightmare Beasts."
After saying this, he picked up the compass and shook it in the air. The Nightmare-Seeking Beast Ruler on the compass moved automatically without wind, pointing the direction for everyone.
"It should be here." Si Zhaohua said confidently.
Everyone followed him in the direction indicated by the Nightmare Ruler, and as they moved forward, they continued to experience this wonderful and strange world.
Just like what you see in comics, the air is filled with tiny floating black and gray gravel. The gravity here feels the same as in the real world, but these gravel can float in the air against gravity.
Su Bei casually grabbed a small stone in the air and held it in his palm to admire it carefully. This stone looked no different from real stones, but you could faintly see tiny sparkles on its surface. Upon closer inspection, it was quite beautiful and was the kind of stone that was worth looking at.
After thinking for a while, Su Bei took the stone and walked towards Wu Mingbai: "Wu Mingbai, look at what kind of stone this is."
It was a rare opportunity for him to ask for help, so Wu Minglang took the stone with interest, examined it carefully, and then used his supernatural power to feel it. If it was the original [Earth Element], he might not be able to tell the material of this stone.
But the concentration of the enhanced [Earth Element] was extremely high, and Wu Mingbai quickly came to the conclusion: "This is..."
Before he could even say it, he suddenly reacted and a bright smile appeared on his face.
As soon as he saw this smile, Su Bei realized that something was wrong. As expected, Wu Mingliang asked happily: "What's the benefit of me telling you the answer?"
Everyone around who heard their conversation laughed at the same time. Although it felt a bit counterintuitive, it must be said that it was a pleasant thing to make Su Bei embarrassed.
This wave, this wave is called giving someone a taste of their own medicine.
The situation has changed for the better, and Su Bei felt a little helpless. This question was very important to him, and he had to get a definite answer.
But important things can't be put on the table. He remained calm and even sneered, pretending to be nonchalant and said, "Did you misunderstand something? My curiosity is not that serious. Forget it."
Hearing this, Wu Mingbai carefully observed his expression. He was not sure whether Su Bei really didn't care or was just pretending not to care, so he could only curl his lips and answer, "It's a meteorite, okay?"
There was no other way. That was Su Bei. He couldn't really not answer. No matter how Su Bei behaved normally or how many times he had sneaked away, he always helped at critical moments. Even for those times, he couldn't not help with this little favor.
After getting the answer he wanted, Su Bei raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Thank you."
Wu Ming's answer confirmed his guess that the things floating in the air in the Nightmare World were indeed fragments of the meteorite that caused the world to change.
But this is not good news. The meteorite is scattered into so many small pieces. How can they be put together and destroyed?
Su Bei's eyes fell on Wu Mingbai again. Now it seemed that he was the only one who could achieve his goal. But even though Wu Mingbai's [Earth Element] had undergone epic enhancement, it was completely impossible for him to achieve the goal of collecting all the meteorite fragments in the Nightmare World.
It is known that the author will not give Wu Mingbai a second enhancement in the short term. After all, it was not long ago that he was enhanced last time, and even if we only look at the schedule, it is impossible for him to have a turn.
In other words, it was impossible for him to achieve his goal as quickly as possible, so he could only wait patiently. Perhaps during the waiting period, he could come up with another method.
"Just saying thank you, no expression of appreciation" Su Bei's strange look made Wu Mingbai feel strange, but despite this look, he continued to ask without giving up. You know, this is a rare opportunity to take advantage of Su Bei, and it cannot be missed easily.
Su Bei retracted his gaze and tilted his head: "If there is a chance."
If possible, he also hoped to kill the Dirty Heart Nightmare Beast and help everyone. Although he wanted to help more for his own sake, this matter was not about the heart, as long as he killed the Dirty Heart Nightmare Beast, wouldn't it be like repaying Wu Mingliang's favor?
But there are some things that he cannot decide on his own. Generally speaking, the highlight of such activities will be given to the protagonists. That is, one of Jiang Tianming and the other two will kill the nightmare beast and successfully give the wooden iron man a new heart.
But to be honest, Su Bei felt that their search for the heart would not be very smooth. There was no other reason, because they had too much time. It was early Sunday morning, and the wooden iron man happened on Friday. According to what Ye Lin said yesterday, he could still hold on for six days without the heart. There were still five days left.
But generally, shouldn't this kind of shounen comics have a very tight timeline? It would be best if the heart could be placed on the wooden man at the last second before he dies, so that the main point is a sense of urgency?
Giving so much time, I always feel like there's something sinister going on.
The Nightmare Compass finally stopped working, and everyone looked at the empty space, looking at each other in bewilderment. Qi Huang twitched his lips and looked at Si Zhaohua: "This is what you said, the gathering place of the dirty nightmare beasts."
"This shouldn't happen. There's no way the Nightmare Compass could go wrong." Si Zhaohua was also puzzled. It was impossible for the prop that his family had specially selected for him to backstab him. There must be something wrong.
After thinking for a while, he said with certainty: "They should be underground. Yes, we can see them if we dig down."
This is possible. Wu Mingbai stretched out his hand and touched the ground. His supernatural power was activated, and the entire ground with his palm as the center began to crack, covering an area of several dozen square meters.
The next second, countless black insects emerged from the ground and attacked the living things on the ground without hesitation.
Everyone was startled, dodging the attacks while frantically attacking the bugs. These bugs were too small, and it was not easy to kill them without using the group attack ability.
As for why he couldn't use group attack abilities, it was because he was afraid of attracting more nightmare beasts. The aura of group attack skills was much stronger than that of single attack skills, especially skills like Qi Huang's flame, which was a powerful weapon to attract nightmare beasts.
Using that skill in the Nightmare's lair, where Nightmare beasts are numerous, is undoubtedly an act of seeking death.
However, it was extremely difficult to kill these insect nightmare beasts with single-body attack capabilities and pure flesh. Even if they were just the most common low-level nightmare beasts, they could be easily crushed to death. But because of their huge numbers, it was by no means an easy task to destroy them.
Ai Baozhu quickly used [Gorgeous Domain] to open a small defense space and let everyone in.
"Is this the dirty nightmare beast you mentioned?" Standing in the [Gorgeous Realm], looking at the densely packed nightmare insects outside, Su Bei asked Si Zhaohua jokingly.
Si Zhaohua said in a defensive tone, touching his nose: "Well, just tell me if it is a group of nightmare beasts."
Indeed, his tool was used to find the Nightmare Beasts, but it didn't say that it was definitely the Heart Nightmare Beasts. It's understandable that he went in the wrong direction. Who made these bugs more numerous?
"What should we do now?" A Baozhu sighed. Without using group attack skills, they couldn't kill so many bugs. Her ability could support them for a while, but it was not a long-term solution.
"Get out of the way!" Ling You shouted coldly, and a puff of green smoke came out from her hands.
It was obvious that she was going to use her supernatural power [Plague], just like she had done in the illusion to kill a large number of insects. Nightmare insects were also insects and would also be affected by [Plague].
And most importantly, although her ability intentionally caused a lot of damage, causing countless insects to die, the ability of [Plague] was a single attack, it only infected one person, and the rest of the infected people were infected by the first person, and had nothing to do with her.
With Ling You's help, the nightmare insects were quickly eliminated. During this period, only five nightmare beasts were attracted by the aura of supernatural power and were also easily dealt with.
The crisis was resolved, and Si Zhaohua took out the "Nightmare Compass" again: "This group of nightmare beasts has been destroyed, so the next one must be the Heart Nightmare Beast. Let's go, I'll lead the way."
There was no point in following him and everyone followed the direction of the pointer. Soon they arrived at their destination and everyone fell silent as they looked at the black rabbits all over the hills.
"...Give me another chance, I'll be fine next time!" After destroying the Nightmare Rabbit, Si Zhaohua had already turned into a gambling dog. He didn't believe that the "Nightmare Compass" would always fail. How could there be so many different groups of Nightmare Beasts in this broken place?
Jiang Tianming looked at the time. It was already five in the morning. After thinking for a moment, he nodded: "One last time."
If the "Nightmare Compass" still can't lead them to find the real owner this time, then they have to find another way. They can't just keep searching blindly and waste time.
Fortunately, Si Zhaohua's luck was not that bad, and he finally found the place on the third try. From a distance, they saw a pile of black hearts lying on the ground, and they knew they had come to the right place.
Su Bei thought that this was only Si Zhaohua. If it was him or someone with worse luck like Jiang Tianming, let alone the third time, even the thirtieth time, he might not be able to find the Nightmare Beast with the Nightmare Beast Compass.
Because the Heart Beast's perception range is relatively far, everyone carefully maintains a distance and prepares to act according to the previous plan. Si Zhaohua activates his supernatural power to attract the Heart Beast, and then Mo Xiaotian interrupts the opponent when he is performing a skill. The others take the opportunity to kill the Heart Beast and obtain the Heart.
However, before they found a suitable angle, they huddled together warily and looked at the men in black approaching from a distance.
"You're finally here." The purple-haired woman in the lead asked unhappily, "Why are you here so late? Do you know how long we've been waiting here?"
It sounded as if they had made an appointment.
Everyone looked at Si Zhaohua at the same time, asking them why they came so late. Of course, it was because someone's props went astray.
The purple-haired woman looked very familiar. Jiang Tianming had a good memory and immediately revealed her identity: "You are from the Black Flash organization!"
During the first monthly exam group battle last semester, this woman was very good at whipping him and Si Zhaohua, and she made them all flustered. If Su Bei hadn't suddenly appeared and dealt with her, they might not have been able to win.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Su Bei.
The purple-haired girl followed Jiang Tianming's gaze and looked at Su Bei, raising her red lips: "Su Bei, right? Do you still remember me?"
"I don't remember." Su Bei answered sincerely.
But even if he didn't remember it before, he remembered it after Jiang Tianming reminded him. It's no wonder that he didn't have any impression of this little villain from a long time ago. But this woman is really a bit special, otherwise he wouldn't be able to remember it as soon as he was reminded.
The woman was choked by Su Bei's words, and her face twisted for a moment, with the corners of her mouth turned down, but she quickly recovered: "It doesn't matter, this time when I catch you back, I will definitely make you remember me firmly."
Hearing this, Su Bei smiled and said, "That's really something to look forward to."
The next second after he said this, the invisibility talisman in his hand was torn into pieces, and the whole person disappeared on the spot.
"Here you go again." Qi Huang couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Not only her, Jiang Tianming and others were also speechless as if it was normal. Su Bei's escape was too skillful. He just said something very tough, but in the blink of an eye he left the rotten stall to them. Is this really something a human can do?
