Chapter 23

After posting the message, he did not refresh the page immediately. Instead, he thought about letting the bullets fly for a while and then exited to study his own abilities.

He used his power [Gear] again and summoned an ordinary gear. But the gear summoned this time was obviously different from the previous ones. It was "empty".

The "empty" here does not mean hollow, but means that something can be added inside the gear.

Su Bei suddenly realized something, opened the door of the dormitory and walked out. It was evening, and there were many students in the corridor.

As soon as he saw them, Su Bei closed his eyes subconsciously. After he opened his eyes again, he finally confirmed the situation - he could see the fate compass above everyone's head!

He immediately went back to his room and put on a pair of sunglasses, then went out again to the window in the corridor, and under the pretext of looking at the scenery, he secretly glanced at the compasses on other people's heads.

These compasses look very complicated, with many symbols inside and outside, and they look like the kind of compasses used to measure Feng Shui. But they are not completely Chinese, but a combination of Chinese and Western styles, a compass that looks like it is made of machinery.

There is a needle in the center of the compass, and Su Bei can vaguely feel the direction the needle is pointing to. That is the direction in which this person will change recently.

Suddenly, Su Bei almost couldn't control his expression. Was he going to become a fortune teller?

In his career plan, there is no such thing as overpass fortune telling!

He put away his thoughts and continued to observe. He could see that there was a kind of "qi" tightly wrapped around the compass, which should be the breath of fate that he had made up.

The gears that have absorbed this energy can make predictions, while the gears without this energy are "empty", no different from ordinary gears.

However, Su Bei could vaguely feel that he was not completely unable to control the direction of the prophecy. The compass was divided into many grids, and the gears were contaminated by the contents of different grids, and the prophecies that could be obtained should also be different.

If you want to maximize the effectiveness of the prophecy, it is best to choose from the boxes in the direction that the pointer is pointing.

However, Su Bei thought of something new from this - if he adjusted the direction of the needle or compass, would it directly change the fate of this person?

If you want to know the answer to this question, you definitely need to practice it yourself. And you have to find someone who knows his ability, that is, the protagonist group to practice it, otherwise it would be difficult to find a reasonable reason to just touch someone's head.

And there is another advantage of having the protagonists practice it, which is that readers may be able to see it and thus better "understand" his supernatural powers.

Thinking of this, Su Bei took off his sunglasses and put them in his pocket, then knocked on Jiang Tianming's door.

Because the celebration banquet was postponed to tomorrow, Jiang Tianming had already returned to his room. When he heard the knock on the door, he thought it was Wu Mingbai. But as soon as he opened the door, he showed a surprised expression: "Su Bei, why are you here?"

Then he brought Su Bei into the room.

If it was other classmates, Jiang Tianming would only talk to them at the door. Although his room had no secrets, some territorial consciousness made it difficult for him to let unfamiliar people into his room.

But the person who came now was Su Bei. Although Su Bei and he were not really friends, they had worked together before and Su Bei had provided him with considerable help. Secondly, Jiang Tianming subconsciously felt that Su Bei must have something important to tell him when he came to see him.

As expected, after entering, Su Bei said directly: "I want to study my own supernatural power. Are you willing to help? The reward is a chance to predict the future."

Hearing this request, Jiang Tianming was stunned for a moment, and turned to look at Su Bei's deep purple eyes. He could not see any emotion in those deep eyes. After thinking for a while, he smiled tentatively and asked: "You still need to study your own ability. I thought you understood it almost."

Su Bei knew that he was probably afraid that his research would have some impact on him. To be honest, this was indeed a possibility, but he was not too worried.

The fate of the protagonist is very hard, and he can't change it easily. Moreover, although the "comic consciousness" has not spoken, it must have been watching. Once something out of control occurs, it will definitely remind you immediately.

But he couldn't say this directly, so he found an excuse and said, "I'm worried that the effect of using supernatural powers on myself and on others will be different."

This sentence reveals one thing, that is, he has been experimenting on himself.

But this incident has two implicit messages. One is that there have never been any problems with the experiments he did on himself. The second is that he is not the kind of experimenter who would not care about the lives of others, otherwise he would not have only done experiments on himself before.

Although he said it vaguely, Su Bei believed that Jiang Tianming would be able to understand it with his brain.

Just as he thought, after listening to his words, Jiang Tianming quickly agreed: "Okay, then when do you plan to do the research?"

"Let's do it now." Su Bei didn't intend to waste time.

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked intently at the top of Jiang Tianming's head.

The compass of destiny does not appear above people's heads all the time. Only when they want to see it and their eyes fall on the top of their heads can they see the compass.

The color of the compass is the same as the color of the spiritual power. Jiang Tianming's black compass looks ominous. If Su Bei didn't know the inside story, he might really think he was the villain of destiny.

He walked over and tried to touch the compass with his hand, but found that he couldn't touch it at all, as if the compass was just an illusion.

It seemed that he couldn't touch it with his bare hands, so Su Bei took out the gear he had just conjured up, and successfully touched the Compass of Destiny with the gear.

As soon as he touched the grid, he felt his mental power being slowly drained away by something, and the gears began to change. The mental power drained away was about a quarter of his current mental power.

And his control over supernatural powers allowed him to vaguely feel that once the gears actually made their predictions, he would have to expend a considerable amount of mental energy.

In other words, all in all, the comics probably set an upper limit on his current abilities based on his last performance. He can only predict the fate of three people at the same time. And after predicting the fate of three people, he almost loses his ability to move.

This made Su Bei a little upset. If he had known, he would not have acted so weakly last time. If he had acted a little more relaxed, perhaps his upper limit could have been raised a little more.

Su Bei sighed and changed the grid. As expected, the gears changed into a new pattern again.

This time, he did not absorb his spiritual power, but there was still a certain connection with his spirit. Su Bei could clearly feel that as long as he cut off this connection, this gear would be completely formed and become a fate gear that carried destiny.

As long as this connection is not severed, he can use it to continue to infect the aura on other people's compasses and synthesize a prophecy related to these people.

This is a very mysterious feeling. The school will only begin to introduce the content of mental power next week, and he doesn't know much about it now.

However, it is worth noting that, from his experience, he should only be able to access one grid of information on the same compass. If he touches two grids of the same compass in sequence, the prediction he gets will only be the one from the latter grid.

Su Bei removed the gears he had collected from Jiang Tianming's head and felt them again. The gears were clearly in an unstable state ready to go at any time. It was only because he still had a little bit of his mental power to support him that he did not start the prophecy immediately.

But his mental strength could not last long. If the gear was in his hand, it could probably stay in gear form for about ten minutes without starting. But if it left his hand, it would probably start immediately.

This was not a big deal, but it pointed Su Bei in a certain direction of improvement. He needed to train himself in the use and precision of his mental power.

For a gear that has absorbed the aura of destiny, the stronger the mental power, the longer the gear can remain stable. And if one can successfully separate the mental power from oneself and leave a part on the gear, then even if the gear is released, it can be maintained for a period of time.

Jiang Tianming looked at the intricately patterned gear in his hand with some curiosity. When he made the prophecy that day, the gear moved too fast and he did not observe it carefully.

Now looking at it, Jiang Tianming only felt that there was an indescribable aura on it, as if it was closely connected with him.

After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "Can this gear now predict me?"

Su Bei nodded: "As soon as I let go, the supernatural power will be activated. If you want to see it now, it will be equivalent to canceling the prophecy I promised you just now. Do you want to see it?"

Hearing this, Jiang Tianming immediately shook his head. Nothing happened now, and it was obvious that the monthly exam in two weeks was the most important thing. He also wanted to leave Class F after the monthly exam, so the best solution would be to fulfill his promise then.

"No, just give me the prophecy when I need it more. But if this gear doesn't start, will you destroy it?" he asked uncertainly.

Hearing this, Su Bei smiled heartily: "Of course not, that would be a waste. If you don't watch it, I can watch it secretly."

Jiang Tianming: “…”

He almost stupefied himself and wanted to ask, "You have to see it anyway, so what's wrong with taking me along?"

As if seeing through his speechless mood, Su Bei patted Jiang Tianming's head with a smile and said, "Knowing your own fate is not necessarily a good thing."

After saying this, he walked straight to the door without waiting for the other party to ask further questions. Before leaving, Su Bei suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, please don't tell anyone about the experiment I asked you to do today."

"Wu Mingbai and Lan Subing are not possible either?" Jiang Tianming asked unexpectedly. Compared with the others, he had a much closer relationship with these two people.

Su Bei nodded, without further explanation, and this time he really left. He was not worried that Jiang Tianming would become a big mouth, because that guy was the protagonist, and he had all the good qualities that a protagonist should have.

As soon as we got back to the dormitory, "Manga Consciousness" asked in confusion: "Why don't you let him tell others about this?"

Su Bei lay on the bed, looking up at the night sky outside the window, and said meaningfully: "The fewer people who know about this, the better. Mo Xiaotian has already become a protagonist."
