Chapter 203
The contract had already taken effect. He immediately activated his supernatural powers, pretended to fiddle with it for a while, and then said seriously: "I have made all the arrangements. As long as you don't move and stay away from humans as much as possible, you will be fine."
Anyway, the Black Flash organization's target was not these evil beasts. As long as they hid themselves and didn't take the initiative to cause trouble, the Black Flash organization would not attack them casually.
It can be said that Su Bei's move was completely a steal. Just be careful and get away with it!
Because of the common vision, many high-level nightmare beasts have an impression of Su Bei's face. Fate-related espers who can truly change fate are rare even in the entire history of espers.
Many high-level nightmare beasts, such as the Cloud Nightmare Beast and the Knowledge Nightmare Beast, have seen him in person or through a common vision, and have suffered at the hands of Su Bei. In addition, Su Bei is one of the few people who knows the secret of the birth of the nightmare beast, so the nightmare beasts naturally have a deep impression of him.
With the contract in hand, the Nightmare Beast was not afraid that Su Bei would lie. After he finished speaking, a white line suddenly appeared on the body of the Black Paper Nightmare Beast, that is, on the black paper. The white line gradually formed the shape of a heart, then bulged upwards, and soon separated from the main body, turning into a real black heart.
"This is the 'perfect heart'. It's worth the money." The black paper nightmare beast threw the heart to Su Bei, and then suddenly swallowed it again, revealing the cruel and cunning side of the nightmare beast. "We only guarantee the integrity of the transaction with you, but we cannot guarantee your safety after the transaction."
Although Su Bei just said calmly that he was sure to escape, and the Black Paper Nightmare Beast believed most of it, this did not prevent it from swallowing Su Bei again and trying to kill him.
If Su Bei was just bluffing, then it would be a good deal if it did this now. Even if he really had a way to escape, it didn't matter, as it could consume some of the human props, or at least explore Su Bei's abilities, anyway, it wouldn't lose anything.
Su Bei was not completely unprepared for the sudden attack of the Nightmare Beast, but he could only say that it was within his expectations. He had long guessed that the other party would not let him go easily, and that was its nature, so it was understandable.
But at the same time, he was not completely unprepared, otherwise he would not have given himself an additional layer of protection in the contract. No, to be precise, he did give himself a layer of protection in the contract, but this layer of protection was not made public.
"Do you know that you have actually violated the contract?" Su Bei returned to his previous sitting position and said leisurely.
Hearing this, the Black Paper Nightmare Beast asked in confusion: "How did you violate the contract? I didn't say that I would allow you to leave safely."
Su Bei chuckled, shook his head, and fiddled with the gear in his hand casually: "The contract says that you have to give me a 'perfect heart' with a usage time of ten minutes, but the 'perfect heart' you gave me is only ten minutes?"
"Of course not. That's a kill..." Halfway through the sentence, the Black Paper Nightmare suddenly reacted, "You are playing word games with us."
It is known that it takes ten minutes for the "Perfect Heart" to lose its effect after being killed. Unless it is a Heart Nightmare killed by Su Bei himself, no matter how fast it is, it cannot be ten minutes when the "Perfect Heart" is handed to him, but only nine minutes and a few seconds.
So it can be said that they had breached the contract the moment they signed it, but were just waiting for Su Bei to propose termination.
That’s right, this kind of small-scale error contract will not take effect directly. As long as both parties to the contract are alive, small matters that do not involve the essential requirements of the contract can be negotiated.
Take the contract signed between Su Bei and the Heart-Dirt Nightmare Beast as an example. If Su Bei fails to fulfill the requirements, causing most of the Heart-Dirt Nightmare Beasts to die or even all of them to be wiped out, or if the Nightmare Beast party fails to fulfill its promise to give Su Bei the "perfect heart" after helping him, then the contract will automatically take effect and punish the party in breach.
But if it is only a minor breach of contract, such as the "Perfect Heart" not being able to deliver the goods within a certain period of time, this can be negotiated. The contract will only give the Heart Nightmare a penalty if Su Bei dies or Su Bei explicitly requests that the other party be punished.
This is the guarantee that Su Bei imposed on himself. As the Black Paper Nightmare said, he was playing word games. But it is a written contract. What else can you play if not word games?
Now that he has successfully used this to trick the other party, Su Bei's mood has finally improved a little, but it is still a pity. I originally wanted to use this opportunity to improve the gear ability, is there really no chance?
After learning that he had a backup plan and that he really couldn't do anything, the Black Paper Nightmare Beast listened to the Dirty Heart Nightmare Beasts' remote request to "don't touch him" and secretly cursed humans for being so cunning.
Although it wanted to kill this cunning human without any regard, it would definitely make itself a target of criticism. There was definitely no rule among nightmare beasts that they could not kill each other, but the act of killing so many high-level nightmare beasts just to kill a human would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among other high-level nightmare beasts.
There was no other way, the Black Paper Nightmare Beast could only let him out, saying impatiently: "I'll let you go, okay?"
Seeing the daylight again, Su Bei squinted his eyes unconsciously, took out the folding door prop prepared by Lei Zen from the storage space, which could allow them to return to the real world, and walked away while beating the drum without looking back.
Just when he successfully opened the folding door and placed it on the ground, he suddenly turned around and released a gear, heading straight for the black paper nightmare beast.
The Black Paper Nightmare Beast never thought that a weak human like him would dare to fight back in such a situation, and it did not underestimate his attack power, so it was completely unprepared and was directly cut open by the enemy.
The flames spread outward from the hole. The black paper nightmare beast took a breath of cool air and fell directly into the sand, rolling around and trying to put out the fire, not caring about its image at all.
When the flames were finally extinguished, a large hole had broken out of it, and it was covered in scorched earth and dust, which was really scary.
The Black Paper Nightmare's tone was filled with shock and anger: "Where did you get the anger from?"
You have to know that when Su Bei was in its belly before, he still looked like he couldn't hurt it no matter how hard he tried. Otherwise, facing the cunning human, the Black Paper Nightmare Beast would not dare to let down its guard like this.
Who knew that it had underestimated the opponent, and Su Bei could actually break through its defense and cause damage to it.
"My gears will definitely hit, no matter what method is used." Su Bei curled his lips, opened the portal, and slipped in just before the black paper nightmare beast rushed over. A teasing voice accompanied by laughter came from the door, "You're more interesting when you're burning!"
After stepping out of the gate, Su Bei went straight back to the back of the podium in the playground. They had used the teleportation tool to enter the Nightmare World here, so they would return to this place when they came out.
Compared to just now, the sky is really bright now. It's already eight o'clock in the morning, and listening to the sound of students exercising in the playground outside, Su Bei felt tired belatedly, but his face was still full of smiles and he was very excited.
He succeeded! Not only did he get the "Perfect Heart", but he also achieved his initial goal of increasing his strength!
To explain how Su Bei attacked the Black Paper Nightmare Beast, we have to mention the characteristics of the Black Paper Nightmare Beast. When Su Bei was trapped in its "belly" for the first attack, he found that the skin of the Black Paper Nightmare Beast was soft and smooth, just like a very soft A4 paper.
Anyone with a little common sense knows that if you hold the paper in one hand and then use a knife or a needle to pierce the paper, it is impossible to succeed. The paper will change the point where the sharp weapon bears force on the body by virtue of its own softness, thus preventing itself from being hurt at all.
This is the case with the Black Paper Nightmare. Although it looks similar to Zhou Renjie in that both rely on "eating people" to attack, as a paper nightmare, no matter how varied its attack methods are, some things cannot be changed.
For example, it is afraid of fire.
Most creatures are afraid of fire, but it is definitely more harmful to the Black Paper Nightmare. A small flame may not cause much harm to ordinary Nightmare or ordinary humans, but once the flame is ignited on paper, the damage to the paper is absolutely huge.
Su Bei doesn't ask for this "hugeness", he just wants to hurt the opponent.
The gear itself is metal, and it is not difficult to ignite metal, as long as you find the right material. The gear he just fired was made of potassium. As a very active metal, it can directly catch fire by friction in the air.
The extremely fast firing rate caused the gear to be ignited before it flew in front of the Black Paper Nightmare, so it was not the gear that attacked it, but the flame.
The flames touched the Black Paper Nightmare Beast, directly catching it on fire, and the effect was that Su Bei's gears ignited the opponent.
He was very satisfied with the result. Su Bei was 100% sure that the plot where he got the "Perfect Dirt" would be included in the comic by the author, and there was a high probability that the short part about his revenge on the Nightmare Beast would also be included.
If the reader doesn't know his little trick, then he can interpret it however he wants using the "prophet" name.
What my junior high school teacher said was absolutely right. If you learn math, physics and chemistry well, you will not be afraid of traveling around the world.
"Su Bei, aren't you guys out on a mission? Why are you here?" A teacher's voice rang out. It was the head teacher of the first grade. The teacher of Class A, although he didn't teach him, was naturally familiar with this school's big shot.
Hearing this, Su Bei understood. It seemed that the teachers did not want to expose their violation of the rules and went to the Nightmare World, and had already found a reason for them. He calmly replied, "Hello, teacher. I came back to find Teacher Ye Lin to get the medicine that Teacher Meng needed. I was just about to go to the infirmary."
Although the reason was reasonable, the dean was still a little suspicious. After all, it looked more like Sun Laosun was skipping class than helping the teacher get something. So he said, "Then I'll go with you."
Su Bei had no objection. He really wanted to find Ye Lin. When he found her, she would surely help him explain. It was okay to have a teacher following him. He hadn't made any mistakes anyway.
Su Bei led the dean of teaching to the infirmary with a righteous look on his face. Ye Lin was on duty inside. The moment she saw Su Bei, she was stunned. As someone who knew the whole story, Ye Lin naturally knew that Su Bei should still be in the Nightmare World. How could he suddenly come back alone?
"Teacher Ye, this kid wants to get the medicine Meng Huai needs from you." The head teacher came straight to the point, "Are you ready?"
Hearing this, Ye Lin glanced at Su Bei and then replied with a smile: "It's ready. I'll go get it for him. You go back first and don't delay the class."
Seeing that she admitted it, the dean stopped pestering her, nodded, turned around, opened the door and left.
After they worked together to perfunctorily get the Dean of Education to leave and close the door of the infirmary, Ye Lin hurriedly asked, "Why are you back? Did you get the 'Perfect Heart'? Where are the others?"
Su Bei asked three questions in one breath, and answered them one by one in a leisurely manner: "I came back after completing the mission. The 'Perfect Heart' is in my hands, and the others are being hunted down by the 'Black Flash' organization."
Ye Lin: “…”
There was so much information that she didn't know what to focus on for a moment. After sorting out her thoughts, Ye Lin decisively arranged according to the importance of the matter: "Give me the 'Perfect Heart' and I'll install it on the wooden iron man. Then you wait here. I'll call Meng Huai and ask him to come over. You can tell him what happened in the Nightmare World."
Su Bei handed the "Perfect Heart" to Ye Lin according to her instructions, and reminded her: "It still has about five minutes of use time."
After saying that, she sat on the sofa obediently but not at all properly, as if she was waiting patiently for Meng Huai to arrive.
Seeing him like this, Ye Lin laughed and shook her head. Fortunately, she was not the class teacher. These troublesome little guys should be left to Meng Huai to worry about.
Meng Huai came very quickly, and with him came the school principal Wu Di. The two had complicated expressions, as they had not expected that this matter would even involve a third party.
They did secretly help them in their quest to find the "perfect heart" in the Nightmare World. In Wu Di's words, it is not uncommon for a superpower to take risks.
As soon as Meng Huai arrived, he asked directly: "Su Bei, what is the 'Black Flash' organization you mentioned?"
Now that the "Perfect Heart" has been brought back, there is no need to worry about the safety of the wooden iron man. They are more concerned about the "Black Flash" organization. How did Su Bei and others run into them?
Su Bei explained the matter briefly, mainly conveying one message, that is, their encounter was not accidental, and the "Black Flash" organization was intentionally waiting for them in this place.
As soon as these words came out, Meng Huai and the others' faces suddenly turned ugly. Of course, they understood Su Bei's hint. Wasn't this telling them that there were still undercover agents in the "Infinite Power Academy" who had not been caught?
"We know about this matter, and we will investigate it thoroughly next." Wu Di promised solemnly, and then asked about the students' situation, "Do you know how the other students in your class are doing now?"
Su Bei shook his head, thought for a moment, and added, "Anyway, they should still be in the Nightmare World before I left."
Otherwise, the "space lock" will not always work.
It has been less than ten minutes since Su Bei left the Nightmare World, so if we rush over now, we might be able to save them.
Meng Huai immediately stood up and said, "I'll go find them."
"Bring a few more teachers." Wu Di was naturally worried about letting him go alone. Although Meng Huai was very strong, the "Black Flash" organization was not a pushover either. It would be more dangerous for him to go alone.
Just after sending the person to the door, Wu Di suddenly remembered something and said, "Go find Feng Lan first and see if he can get any useful information using the [Prophecy]."
"I understand." Meng Huai nodded, opened the door and left.
After watching him leave, Wu Di looked at Su Bei again and said, "Go and have a rest first. You must be exhausted after a busy day. We will notify you when the wooden iron man wakes up."
Su Bei nodded without refusing. He indeed felt very tired and needed a good rest.
I went back to the dormitory and took a nap. When I woke up, I took out my phone and checked it. It was three o'clock in the afternoon and the comics had not been updated yet. Ye Lin did send him a message, saying that the treatment was very successful and that the wooden iron man was expected to wake up around four or five o'clock.
After leaving the college, he had a late lunch and went to the supermarket to buy some fruits. Seeing that the time was almost up, Su Bei slowly came to the infirmary.
He came at the right time, the wooden iron man had just woken up. Looking at the white ceiling of the infirmary, the wooden iron man was stunned for a while before his thoughts came back to him.
Thinking of what happened before, the wooden iron man subconsciously lowered his head to look at his chest. At this time, his body had been repaired and there was no trace of injury.
The iron man touched his chest, feeling his beating heart, and with a look of doubt on his face, he slowly sat up. As soon as he sat up, he saw Su Bei walking in from the door.
The "Subei" Mutieren was a little surprised, "Why are you here?"
Su Bei placed the fruit on the small table next to his bed and answered him in a funny and questioning tone: "I came to visit the patient."
If not to visit a patient, what else could you be doing?
Realizing that he had asked a stupid question, the Iron Man coughed and asked the real question: "How is Uncle?"
"He should have been locked up in the prison for people with special abilities." Su Bei was not sure. He met Meng Huai once after he came back, and the situation was still the same. He had no chance to ask about Boss Sun.
"How are the others?" Hearing that his uncle had been sent to prison, Mu Tieren finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then he became worried again. He remembered that before he fell into a coma, Wu Mingbai and others were also in a coma, and he didn't know if they woke up.
"Everyone is awake. They woke up yesterday. By the way, today is already Monday." Su Bei replied.
After caring about others, the wooden iron man finally had time to care about himself: "So what is my situation now, that green dirty heart..."
At this point, he hesitated again. His self-esteem would not allow him to keep the green heart in his body any longer, even if it meant death.
But he was more worried that his classmates had put the green heart back into his body in order to keep him alive, and if he said it directly, he would be betraying their kindness.
"It has been taken away by the 'First Superpower Hospital' for research." Seeing what he didn't say, Su Bei answered directly.
"Ah" The Iron Man was stunned for a moment, obviously this answer was completely beyond his expectations.
Su Bei said jokingly: "You don't need it anyway, so just use it for research, which will benefit the people and atone for Mr. Sun's sins. I guess you don't mind."
When Dr. Zhou made this request, he thought it was a good idea. They would definitely not want the green-hearted wooden iron man, but it would be a waste to destroy it. Since the hospital could use it for research, it would be fine to give it to them.
"Of course I don't mind!" Mu Tieren shook his head violently, or rather, he breathed a sigh of relief. Like Su Bei, he also thought that the best outcome would be if Green Heart could be used for research in the hospital.
But then the Iron Man started to wonder again: "Then how was I cured? I feel like I don't lack heart anymore, and I even feel better than before."
He could still feel whether there was any dirt in his body, and now after feeling it carefully, the wooden iron man could also feel the difference between himself now and before.
If the previous heart gave him the feeling of providing him with energy continuously, then the current heart seemed to grow inside his body. Although it would not provide him with that energy, it was more comfortable and natural than the original one.
Su Bei once again recounted everything that had happened after he fell into a coma, from the boss being defeated, to the treatment plans given by the doctors, to everyone's decision to go to the Nightmare World to help him find the "perfect heart".
He felt that he could start a sideline as a storyteller. He finished such a long paragraph in one breath, with clear logic and careful thinking, and the story was vivid and interesting. He asked who else
When he heard the last part, Mu Tieren's eyes were slightly red. He didn't expect that everyone would be willing to do this for him. You know, the world of nightmare beasts is very dangerous. Even very powerful superpowers may capsize in the dark ditches, let alone a group of students like them.
Knowing that the teacher could not lead the team, Jiang Tianming and his team were still willing to risk their lives to help him find the best treatment method. This friendship moved him.
"Thank you, Su Bei, I didn't expect you..."
"Hey, stop." Su Bei interrupted Mu Tieren in time, "Keep my words of gratitude in your heart. Next time when the teacher checks the homework, help me get away with it. That will be your way of repaying the kindness."
Although his purpose of going to the Nightmare World was not to help the Iron Man, he did bring back the "Perfect Heart", so Su Bei could bear the gratitude.
"No." The Iron Man refused decisively, as principled as ever, "The homework the teacher assigns is to help us. If I help you hide it, I will harm you."
Before Su Bei finished rolling his eyes, Mu Tieren pursed his lips and continued, "But if you really don't want to write, I can also suggest that the teacher give less writing homework when he assigns homework."
As a squad leader, and a well-behaved one at that, Meng Huai was willing to listen to Mu Tieren's suggestions. If he said there was too much homework, Meng Huai would probably reduce it. This result was not bad, and Su Bei immediately showed a satisfied smile.
"By the way, where are Jiang Tianming and his friends?" After chatting for a while, Mu Tieren suddenly realized something was wrong. How could it be that only Su Bei came to visit the patient? Normally, the chances of Jiang Tianming and his friends coming to visit the patient were much higher than Su Bei.
Su Bei did not describe the Nightmare World in detail when he was talking about it. First, the "Black Flash" organization was already another incident and had little to do with the problem of the Wooden Iron Man. Second, the Wooden Iron Man was ill, and if possible, Su Bei did not want to talk about these things that he could not solve and make him worry.
