Chapter 219

Unlike others who were happy for the safety of the spectators, Su Bei felt more and more upset the more he listened. The direction was completely wrong. How could it be okay to put all the defense in the hotel?

But never mind, this is also the normal operation of comics. If it is not arranged like this, how can the students fall into danger naturally when the teachers are still there?

Although the entertainment competition is not a formal three-school competition, and the win or loss is not counted in the total score of the competition, in fact, the entertainment competition is the most popular among all the three-school competitions. This is also normal. The entertainment competition is interesting in itself, and the contestants are all popular contestants voted by everyone. The combination of the two is naturally very interesting.

Zhao Xiaoyu eloquently explained the rules to everyone on the stage. Simply put, this entertainment competition is hide-and-seek. Players can hide in any way they want without using props.

The catchers and the game map for each round are randomly drawn. A game lasts half an hour, with a total of ten rounds, ensuring that every contestant can be a "ghost" once.

The final result of the competition is based on the number of people caught as a "ghost" and the total hiding time as a "human". Finally, a score is given according to a unified standard. The one with the highest score is the king of hide-and-seek this year.

Zhao Xiaoyu even took out the trophy of the entertainment competition to show everyone. It was a cat's paw made of gold and as big as a human head. Judging from her movements, the cat's paw was quite heavy and should be solid.

The person who got drawn to be the "ghost" in the first round of Hide and Seek was Lan Subing. She has always had good luck. In this game, the earlier you become the "ghost", the better. The earlier you become the "ghost", the more you can experience the perspective of the "ghost" in advance. When you hide next time, you can avoid many places that the "ghost" will definitely find.

The first round of Hide and Seek was set on a two-story building, created by a master of illusion using his supernatural powers. Spectators outside could see through the building to see what was going on inside, but the contestants on the stage could not see through the building.

There were nine people in total, excluding Lan Subing, and they had five minutes to hide. Su Bei was not in a hurry to hide, but slowly looked at where others were hiding. Some hid in the washing machine; some directly chiseled a hole in the wall behind the painting and hid in the hole; some directly relied on their flying ability to hang on the ceiling...

It is worth mentioning that because the ancestor's ability is quite special and too restrained in this game, the method of catching him is also quite special. As long as the "ghost" can find the room where he uses the [Arena], he is caught, and there are three chances to guess the room.

In this way, if someone wants to hide with the ancestor through the [Arena], they will have to bear the risk of being guessed along with him.

Because of his previous initiative to show goodwill, the ancestor wanted to save face and specifically asked Su Bei if he wanted to go into the [Arena] with him to hide. However, Su Bei refused, as he had his own ideas for hiding.

When the game time was less than a minute and everyone else had hidden, Su Bei slowly adjusted his little finger and hid behind the flower pot next to the staircase.

Fortunately, it was a large vase that was as tall as a person, otherwise Su Bei couldn't hide in it with his physique. However, even though the vase could cover his figure, Su Bei's hiding place was still the most perfunctory among all the others. He didn't even hide in the vase, but directly behind it.

The audience in the audience also started to discuss. They were not just watching this segment. The main point of the entertainment game was to interact with the audience. In each round, they could guess who would win. If they chose the number represented by the ghost, it meant that they thought the ghost could catch everyone in this round.

Since both "ghosts" and "humans" can use supernatural powers, the vote on the big screen showed that almost 90% of people chose Lan Subing. They thought that she could easily find anyone with the supernatural power of "Word Spirit", and this was a game without suspense.

This is indeed the case. After the game officially started, as soon as Lan Subing entered the first floor, she used [Word Spirit] directly in the center of the floor.

The range of her [Word Spirit] is not determined by the distance of sound transmission, but by her mental power and voice. In simple terms, if Lan Subing wants to control a person, then all her mental power will be used to control that person, and as long as the other party's mental power does not exceed hers, she will succeed.

But if she used a loudspeaker to speak a [Word Spirit] to all the teachers and students in the school, then her mental power would be divided into many parts, and there would still be a weak control, but it would not necessarily be able to control many people.

It is worth mentioning that the "divided into many parts" here does not mean divided equally, which means that it is easier for Lan Subing to control three people at the same time than for her to control three people separately.

Back to the competition, Lan Subing, who was using her power in the middle of the first floor, could only call out people on the first floor. However, if her mental strength was particularly high, she might not be called out if her power was dispersed.

To be honest, the competitors who were selected to participate in the three-school competition had very high mental strength. If Lan Subing was using [Word Spirit] in a 1v1 battle, there would be no problem. But in this scattered situation, she couldn't even call out any one person completely.

But this was enough. There were noises coming from the cabinet, the chandelier, and the picture frame. Lan Subing immediately smiled and walked towards those three places.

The three people who knew they were exposed no longer hid, and walked out obediently when Lan Subing approached. They were Wu Mingbai, Si Zhaohua, and Huangfu Mingzhe.

After a rough inspection of the first floor, Lan Subing went to the second floor. As she walked down the stairs, Su Bei quietly walked out from behind the flower pot and walked slowly to the first floor.

Facing a cheating player like Lan Subing, if he stayed in a fixed hiding spot, he would sooner or later be trapped by her ability range, and it would be difficult to avoid being discovered. So it was safer to hide like him. With the blessing of luck, he didn't have to worry about Lan Subing suddenly turning around and discovering him.

Seeing him slowly walking back to the first floor from the corner of the stairs where Lan Subing was blind, the three people who had been eliminated were stunned.

"I knew there must be something wrong when he wasn't in a hurry at all." Wu Mingbai said with a fake smile, "I don't know how Bing felt when he watched the replay and saw this scene."

"It all depends on whether she can find Su Bei." Si Zhaohua said with reason, "If she can find him, then looking back on this scene later it will just be a funny episode, but if she can't find him..."

Wu Mingbai and Si Zhaohua exchanged a glance, then looked away in tacit understanding. If they couldn't find it, they would miss out on victory, and Lan Subing would probably be so angry that she would die.

When they came to the second floor, the same operation was performed and Jiang Tianming and Wu Jin who were hiding on the second floor were also discovered.

At this point, the only ones left on the field were Su Bei, the shadow girl Qiao Mu, and the ancestors and Li Bowen of the "Hou De Supernatural Academy".

The shadow girl must be hiding in the shadows, which should be difficult to find, but who makes Lan Subing a cheating [Word Spirit] psychic? Because it took a very short time to find the other people, she still has a long time to find the remaining people.

That's why Lan Subing tirelessly uses her spiritual power on every shadowy place. If there's no one inside, it won't consume her mental power, so she doesn't have to worry about not having enough mental power.

After such a thorough search, the shadow girl was quickly found.

At that time, Su Bei had quietly returned to his original hiding place at the entrance of the second floor stairs, and Lan Subing had already begun trying to find the "Hou De Supernatural Academy" duo.

The two of them must be hiding in the [Arena] now. If we want to find them, we can only rely on guessing. Logically, we should find them last.

But as classmates for so long, Lan Subing really understood Su Bei. She knew that this guy was good at everything, but the best thing was to avoid risks in advance, so she didn't expect to find Su Bei.

If you find it, it's luck. If you don't find it, it's reasonable. In order not to waste time, let's take a look at where the two people are hiding.

In the entire comic "The King of Superpowers", Lan Subing has the best luck. One of her initial character settings is good luck. Therefore, even without any clues, Lan Subing successfully found her ancestors on the third guess.

When the final time came, Northern Jiangsu won.

When Lan Subing returned to the first floor in confusion, she saw Su Bei standing there. She was puzzled and said, "I searched the first floor thoroughly. Where are you hiding?"

You have to know that she was not just searching simply, she was using [Word Spirit] while searching. Even if Su Bei's mental power was much higher than hers, it would be difficult not to reveal her flaws, not to mention that after the evolution of the Voice of the Heart a few days ago, Lan Subing's mental power had also improved a lot.

Jiang Tianming, who had seen enough of Su Bei's operations from outside, tried to suppress his smile and narrated as calmly as possible: "He has been hiding behind the vase at the corner of the first and second floors of the stairs. Every time you go to a floor, he will go to the next floor when you are not paying attention."

Wu understood the bad intentions and decisively took out the video he had just recorded outside to show Lan Subing.

Lan Subing: ""

A little girl broke gently.

Four rounds of competition were held in the morning, and Su Bei was only caught once. That time, Qiao Mu was the "ghost". Her supernatural power was also very powerful in this game. As long as other players passed by the shadow, she could sense it. If they walked in a large open space without shadows, they would be more easily discovered, so there was nowhere to hide. That round also ended with Qiao Mu catching everyone and winning the game.

The morning games were all over, and nothing special happened. It was obvious that the Black Flash organization's action would be in the afternoon. While eating in the cafeteria, Su Bei didn't know what to say. The author was kind enough to let them eat before facing the real danger.

The afternoon game started quickly. Since there was no disturbance throughout the morning, the staff relaxed a little. Many of them felt that they had successfully disrupted the enemy's plan, causing the enemy to not plan to take action.

When most people were relaxed, the Black Flash finally took action. The stands under the audience seats were suddenly breached, and men in black rushed out and headed straight for the ring.

What was surprising was that these people were absolutely ordinary people. After they jumped from a high place onto the stage, blood splattered all over the floor, and they were all in a coma, with no one knowing whether they were alive or dead.

Such a bloody scene frightened everyone present. Jiang Tianming and others from the "Infinite Power Academy" were fine. Although they had never seen such a bloody scene, they had experienced a lot and were more accepting of blood.

The others were not so calm. They screamed and retreated, almost instantly retreating to the corner of the ring. Li Bowen fell to the ground in fear, but immediately got up and looked around vigilantly. Qiao Mu covered his mouth and resisted the urge to vomit. Huangfu Mingzhe's face turned pale, but seeing that Si Zhaohua and others were standing still, he also resisted the urge to retreat.

The positions where the black-clad men fell were obviously very particular. As soon as each person landed, the blood that flowed out emitted a faint red light, and then gathered together to form a blood-red magic circle. The magic circle emitted a dazzling red light, and then two more people appeared on the stage.

One of the two people was an acquaintance, Cyril, who had appeared in "Alpha Supernatural High School". The other one was unfamiliar, with black hair and red eyes. His face was as pale as paper, his cheeks were sunken, and he looked so weak that he seemed to be dying.

"Hey~ Long time no see!" Seeing Jiang Tianming and other familiar faces, Cyril greeted them with a smile. At first glance, he seemed like a very cheerful older brother.

However, the moment they saw him, Jiang Tianming and others who knew his identity felt their hearts sink. This guy is a member of the "Black Flash" organization, and has very powerful superpowers [cells]. His appearance here is not a good thing no matter how you think about it.

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up." The black-haired man glanced at him weakly and said impatiently.

Hearing this, Cyril curled her lips and said, "Li Xiang, you are just too old-fashioned. I finally meet an acquaintance, but you still rush me to say hello. It's really annoying."

Without further delay, he pointed out: "Cellular erosion!"

The next second, everyone, including Su Bei, felt a slight change in their bodies. But he couldn't tell what the change was, he just had a bad feeling.

Using his special powers to check everyone's destiny compasses, Su Bei saw that everyone's big pointers were at the "sick" point. Apparently, Cyril's special powers were working.

Cyril told everyone straight away: "The cells in your bodies have been changed by me. In less than 20 minutes, all of you will die. If you are willing to submit to our 'Black Flash' organization, I can give you the antidote. But if you don't want to -"

He chuckled and said, "Those people won't be able to come in and rescue you in twenty minutes."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces suddenly darkened. The physical sensations they had felt before told them that what Cyril said was probably true, and they did have physical problems now.

Su Bei couldn't hide his surprise. This time, the "Black Flash" organization was so simple and brutal. They attacked them directly and said they would die if they didn't surrender. It seemed that the leader of the organization was anxious and didn't want them to escape again and again, so he directly used the killer mace.

No wonder Mo Xiaotian reacted like that yesterday. He obviously knew that Jiang Tianming and the others would not choose to surrender. They had been kidnapped and threatened so many times. If they could still join the "Black Flash" organization, they would not be called the protagonist group.

"What, what do you mean?" The ancestor who didn't know the previous situation huddled in the corner and trembled, "Who are you guys surrendering to?"

"Perhaps you have heard of the 'Black Flash' organization." Cyril smiled elegantly.

The ancestor had obviously heard of it. Not only him, but other students who were not from the "Infinite Power Academy" also changed their expressions when they heard this name. As the country's largest villain organization, as superpowers, they would always hear some related news from time to time.

Moreover, the "Black Flash" organization is not only targeting the superpowers of the "Infinite Superpower Academy", but also other academies have been messed with by them. In fact, because there is no protagonist group, other academies have more or less lost some students and even teachers.

They all feel deep hatred and disgust towards an organization that has committed so many evil deeds.

"I will never join you." Huangfu Mingzhe was the first to speak out. Although he knew his life was threatened, he was still arrogant. "No matter what happens to me in the end, you should be prepared to face the wrath of the Huangfu family! The Huangfu family will never let you go!"

Cyril was not angry at his words. He just patiently advised with a good-tempered look: "Then you can only wait for death here. Unless I cancel my ability, you will die within 20 minutes. I welcome anyone who is willing to join our 'Black Flash'. Even if you don't care about your life, you should think about your family. How sad they will be if they know that you have sacrificed your life just because of a momentary impulse."

"They would be sad if they knew we had joined the Black Flash organization." Si Zhaohua responded without hesitation, then spread his wings and took off. He had to escape from here first!

The reason Si Zhaohua left alone was not because he wanted to abandon his teammates, but because he knew that the most important thing now was to have someone go out to allow doctors outside to study their physical conditions.

Even if the others stayed here, Cyril and the other two would not attack them. After all, they had already made a killing move and there was no need to attack again. Therefore, there was no need to worry about the safety of others.

However, just by looking at Cyril's calm expression, everyone knew that Si Zhaohua could not escape. Sure enough, before he flew far, he was directly mounted on a transparent barrier and was forced to land. The entire arena was covered by the barrier, and he had no chance of escaping.

Now they were stuck, and everyone looked outside the ring, hoping that the teachers would come and rescue them. Although Cyril said that they couldn't get in within 20 minutes, what if...

Su Bei was not in a hurry. He knew that with the protagonists here, things would not develop in an uncontrollable direction. But to be honest, he didn't know how to save himself at the moment. Unless Cyril could change his mind and let them go within 20 minutes, they would be powerless to change their cells.

As for hoping that Meng Huai and his friends could come in and save them within the specified time, if they really came, it would not be a shonen manga. A shonen manga is about a group of teenagers saving the world, and Su Bei is already used to it.

Others didn't know they were living in a comic book world, and of course they still had hope for the teachers. In order to delay time and wait for the teacher to arrive, Jiang Tianming began to play the emotional card with Cyril. After all, they knew Cyril's story. Since he joined the "Black Flash" organization to avenge his friend, he should at least respect his friend's wishes to save the dying and the wounded. His killing spree here completely violated his friend's ideas.

Unfortunately, Cyril was unmoved. He joined Black Flash to avenge his friend. But later he really thought that the leader's idea was right. It was worth sacrificing some individuals to make the whole world a better place. If he wanted to go back, he would have gone back when he was in Alpha Academy. Why wait until now?

While they were talking, Su Bei was thinking about what special abilities this black-haired man, Li Xiang, had. He must have been brought here to be very useful, but up to now it was Cyril who had taken action and spoken. Li Xiang couldn't just be here to supervise his companions.

What kind of supernatural power does he have?

When most people were at a loss, Huangfu Mingzhe finally couldn't sit still anymore. He activated his supernatural power: "Even if I have to die, I will drag you to be my back cushion! You can only dream if you want me to surrender!"

After saying that, he attacked Cyril directly.

What he said did make sense. They were going to die anyway, so instead of waiting here to die in vain and wasting their supernatural powers, they might as well give it a try before they die and see if they can drag the murderer down with them.

Thinking of this, the eyes of the people who were originally somewhat desperate suddenly ignited with flames, and they attacked Cyril and Li Xiang together.

Of course, Su Bei was not included in these people. He was observing where the turning point was. He didn't think that they could really defeat Xilier and the other two just by themselves. Those two were probably elites of the "Black Flash" organization, just like Meng Huai. It was probably far from enough for them to rely on just a few students.

If this was the final battle, they might be able to perform exceptionally well and defeat the villain. But the problem is that it is definitely not that time yet, so the turning point lies elsewhere.

While he was thinking, the fight on Jiang Tianming's side was getting more and more intense. Cyril probably didn't want to destroy his already changed cell structure, so he didn't use his superpowers during the whole process. But despite this, his strength should not be underestimated. The absolute suppression in speed and strength, coupled with the extremely high physical defense, made everyone helpless against him.

Su Bei finally understood Li Xiang's ability. He should be able to control corpses. He summoned corpses one by one, and he didn't need to do anything. He could fight Jiang Tianming and others by instinct.

The reason why we can tell that these "people" are corpses is because of the faint stench of corpses coming from them, as well as their cold bodies, unconscious appearances, and inability to feel their breathing...

But this is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that these corpses can use superpowers. The superpowers they possess are not very strong, but the fact that they have superpowers is terrifying in itself.

It was not until then that Su Bei understood why the "Black Flash" organization suddenly decided to take their lives. Originally, they had been trying to kidnap people to take them back for research, but now with Li Xiang, even if they died, their bodies could still be used for research.

Although this is definitely not as valuable as when they were alive, the Black Flash organization has failed on them so many times that they probably don't care about the research value anymore and just want to use it.
