Chapter 240

Just when everyone was relieved because the nightmare girl was destroyed, the driver Wang's face suddenly changed. He pointed out the window with a trembling finger: "What is that...over there?"

Everyone turned around and saw a cloud of dust rising from the distant woods, and a few startled birds flying high. It was obvious that something was approaching, and if it wasn't very large in number, it was very large in size.

No, what are those flying birds in the sky? Looking at their strange shapes, they are clearly nightmare beasts of unknown rank!

"They are the Nightmare Beasts that are following the perspective of that high-level Nightmare Beast." Jiang Tianming made a heavy judgment on the current situation. The vision of high-level Nightmare Beasts is originally common. They already know that we have the Life Stone in our hands, so they will naturally come quickly.

What was even more terrifying was that they were now almost out of energy. It was difficult for them to deal with a mid-level nightmare beast, not to mention that there must be a high-level nightmare beast among them.

Driver Wang was also panicking. He tried his best to increase the horsepower, but he could only watch helplessly as the nightmare beasts got closer and closer to the crowd. What should he do? Go faster! Once those nightmare beasts come over, they will all be dead.

Just when everyone was feeling despair, a loud dragon roar suddenly came from the sky.

What followed was a shadow, like a huge dark cloud covering the sky and enveloping the entire car.

"That sound!" Jiang Tianming stuck his head out and looked outside, only to see a huge black dragon hovering over their car, spitting out a few black flames from its mouth, easily repelling the nightmare beasts that were chasing them.

It's Meng Huai coming!

The moment they saw the teacher, everyone, including Su Bei, breathed a sigh of relief and felt an indescribable sense of relief. Great! Now that the teacher is here, they are safe!

In this respect, the author is quite humane. The teachers in their academy are really reliable. At least before you reach adulthood, there will probably be no one better than the teachers of the same type in the academy. The official is also really official. They will handle problems from the public's perspective and will also clean up the mess for everyone. Unlike some comics, the existence of these people is a pure drag on the protagonists.

After Meng Huai made his move, a black horse-headed nightmare beast stepped out from the group of nightmare beasts not far away and said, "Hand over the Life Stone now, and we will mercifully let you go."

Meng Huaili ignored him and stood on the black dragon, looking down at the people who were looking at him in the car window. He first gave the four people from Su Bei a warning look that said "I'll settle the score with you when I get back", and then said to the stunned driver Wang below: "Keep driving and take them to the 'Endless Ability Academy'."

"Oh! OK!" Driver Wang nodded quickly, then stepped on the accelerator and continued driving.

The car was getting farther and farther away, and from the rear window, I could see Meng Huai was already fighting those nightmare beasts. Beside him, besides the black dragon he was riding, there was actually a silver dragon! With two dragons and one more, he was able to hold off so many nightmare beasts all by himself, looking like a one-man-stand against ten thousand.

"Your teachers at the academy are amazing." Driver Wang couldn't help but admire them, and said with great envy, "When I first knew that I was a superpower, I actually imagined this scene as well."

"In fact, if you tell others about the scene where you, Master, are driving alone in the front and are chased by a group of nightmare beasts from behind, many people will envy you." Jiang Tianming said with high emotional intelligence.

But this is not just a compliment, Jiang Tianming is telling the truth. Whether it is Meng Huai or driver Wang, their actions just now can get a close-up shot in the movie.

On the way back, they met several psychics who came to support them. Meng Huai relied on Lei Ze'en's [Teleportation] ability to support them first, so the others were naturally a step slower.

I have to say that Meng Huai is indeed reliable. With him in the front, Jiang Tianming and others behind did not encounter any sneak attacks from the Nightmare Beast and were able to hold a meeting in the academy smoothly.

Less than a kilometer away from the college, Lan Subing, Zhao Xiaoyu and Wu Mingbai had been arranged to meet them here in advance. Seeing their shabby car, the three of them showed an expression that was hard to describe.

After they parked the car, Zhao Xiaoyu came over and said with a smile: "You guys are in the spotlight this time. I heard that you got the Life Stone, and the government and the college sent a lot of people to support you. Come on, they asked us to take you back quickly. Once the Life Stone is taken away by the government, we will have nothing to do with it."

"The academy doesn't want to keep the Life Stone?" Jiang Tianming asked curiously.

Wu Mingbai sneered: "That's a hot potato."

Hearing this, everyone understood immediately. He was right. Whoever had the Life Stone would be besieged by nightmare beasts. Isn't that a hot potato? However, the function of the academy made it unsuitable to protect something like the Life Stone, otherwise the government would not accept it at all.

It shouldn't be that after their new discovery, the Life Stone is no longer something that everyone avoids. On the contrary, it might even become a treasure that everyone is eager to get.

"Let's go find the person in charge first." Jiang Tianming said directly without saying anything more.

Soon everyone came to the meeting room, where the senior year dean and several government officials were already waiting. Jiang Tianming handed them the Life Stone and began to tell them about a series of events that happened in Changsheng Village.

Everyone was shocked to hear that the Life Stone could actually prolong life. Since ancient times, immortality has been one of the biggest problems facing mankind, and any person or event related to it always causes a stir.

Don’t think that the life stone studied by our ancestors has a single and weak use. It can only prolong the life of people who live around the life stone for a long time, and it must be a large piece of life stone. Small pieces may not have such a big effect. But the fact that you can live to 150 years old is enough to make people salivate.

After a brief moment of surprise, the eyes of the government workers suddenly lit up. If the life stone was a hot potato before receiving this news, then after receiving this news, the life stone was a real treasure.

"Now that we have understood almost everything, let's take the Life Stone first. Leaving it here will only lead to trouble. If the Nightmare Beast attacks, it will delay the students' schooling." After Jiang Tianming finished speaking, the person in charge on the opposite side said righteously.

The person in charge of the "Infinite Power Academy" glanced at the two of them. The dignity that only the dean of education had could make the children who had attended the school tremble even after many years. The government official subconsciously took a step back, then realized that he was a little embarrassed, and coughed and stopped talking.

The Dean of Education nodded, pushed up his glasses, and looked at Jiang Tianming and the other three gently but seriously: "Although we did discuss the ownership of the Life Stone a little bit just now, this thing was brought by you after all, so the final decision is still left to you."

After saying that, she looked at the person in charge opposite her and said, "You don't have any opinions, do you?"

"No, no." The man shook his head.

Jiang Tianming carefully observed the dean's expression and was sure that she just wanted to ask for their opinions, not to take advantage of their words to keep the Life Stone. So he looked at the others and said bluntly: "Let's hand it over to the government for safekeeping."

As I said before, the Life Stone must be used for a long time to extend lifespan a little bit. And unless they become teachers, they can only stay in the academy for three years at most, and it will not have any effect at all.

Compared with the insignificant benefits, the disadvantages of the Life Stone are obvious. It is certain that once this thing stays in the academy, they will be harassed by nightmare beasts every few days.

Since the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, there is no need to keep it in the school. Since the government wants it, just give it to them and you can also save a favor. I believe that the college staff who are negotiating next door will give them a satisfactory answer.

After the discussion, the relevant teachers took the government personnel away to discuss the follow-up matters. The dean asked about Zhou Min, the only living person in Changsheng Village.

"Is this child still living in Changsheng Village? We will send someone to pick him up and see if we can find a temporary guardian for him." The dean of studies said with a frown.

After all, Zhou Min was still a minor, and now everyone in her family had died. Although she had a large sum of money left by the Zhou family, it was easy for others to covet her as a child.

Jiang Tianming nodded and thought this arrangement was reasonable: "Well, we asked her to wait in Changsheng Village. Officer Zhou who reported the case is also there. He may be able to serve as Zhou Min's temporary guardian."

Most police officers have good character, and they are from the same village. They are the only two left in the village, so they can depend on each other. It is perfect for Officer Zhou to play this role.

"When we send people there, I hope they can also check Zhou Min to see if he has any special abilities." Su Bei casually dropped a bombshell.

As soon as this was said, the Dean of Education suddenly became serious: "Su Bei, do you mean that you suspect Zhou Min has supernatural powers and have solid evidence?"

"It's just a guess." Su Bei shrugged. Judging from Zhou Min's performance, she probably knew the ancestor's plan, but the ancestor would not tell her on his own initiative, nor would he write down the real plan on paper.

Moreover, it is difficult for powerful psychics to eavesdrop around corners. Even if they do not have advanced mental powers, ordinary mental powers are enough for them to detect eavesdroppers who are relatively close.

On the way back, Su Bei was thinking about this. Thinking of Zhou Min's age of about fifteen or sixteen, Su Bei seriously suspected that she had awakened related supernatural powers and accidentally learned about the ancestor's plan.

You have to know that the protagonist of the comic is of this age, and fifteen is the age when superpowers awaken. Ordinary people of the same age as the protagonist are likely to have problems.

"Okay, I got it. I'll send someone to check it out." Although he said it was just a guess, the dean still took it seriously and agreed in one breath.

After discussing everything that needed to be discussed, she stood up and saw them off: "Then I think you must be tired, go back and get some sleep. I'll give you two days off, so take a good rest during these two days."

Everyone was indeed tired, so they went back to their dormitories without saying much. Su Bei was in good spirits because he had a good sleep last night, so he took a quick shower and went to find Wu Minglai.

"Why are you looking for me at this time instead of resting?" After opening the door and seeing that it was him outside, Wu Mingbai asked in surprise.

Su Bei also got straight to the point: "I want you to help me take a look at the material of this thing."

As he said this, he took out the fragment of the Life Stone that had returned to its original form and handed it to Wu Mingbai: "This is it."

Seeing the flat stone that looked ordinary at first glance, Wu Mingbai looked at it with doubt. He did not answer immediately, but asked first: "What is this?"

If it was just an ordinary stone, why would he bother to investigate its material?

Su Bei tentatively gave a very perfunctory answer: "A stone."

Hearing this answer, Wu Mingbai laughed angrily: "How could I not know that this is a stone? Do you still want me to help you identify it?"

Su Bei, who was indeed threatened, had no choice but to tell the truth: "Life Stone Fragments."

In fact, even if he lied, Wu Baizhi would definitely not be able to tell the difference. Su Bei was still very confident in his ability to lie. But there was no need. He had already found a reasonable excuse for the fact that he had the Life Stone fragment in his hand. Why lie again?

If the Life Stone is really related to the meteorite, letting Wu Mingbai know this news would be helpful to his plan.

Wu Mingbai, the "Life Stone", was shocked and asked, "How did you get this thing?"

But as soon as he asked the question, he realized that he had asked a stupid question. Su Bei had just brought back the Life Stone with Jiang Tianming and others, so he had naturally come into contact with this thing before.

But a new question came up. He frowned and asked, "Isn't the Life Stone said to be extremely hard and indestructible? How did you get this fragment?"

Since everyone knew that the reason why the Nightmare went crazy during this period was because of the Life Stone, they all took the initiative to learn some relevant content. Wu Mingliang, whose supernatural power was the [Earth Element], naturally knew more.

"The mountain man has his own clever plan." Su Bei did not answer this question.

Wu Mingbai snorted, but did not dwell on the issue and returned to the point: "So you want to know what material the Life Stone is made of. I don't understand what you mean. Isn't the Life Stone just the Life Stone? It is a material in itself, right?"

But Su Bei's next answer made him a little confused: "What if the Life Stone was transformed from something else?"

Although he felt that he was a little puzzled, Wu Ming still chose to agree. But before agreeing, he directly put forward his request: "I want a chance for you to answer the question. No matter when I use this opportunity, you must answer my question truthfully."

This request made Su Bei raise his eyebrows, and then he nodded decisively in agreement. Wu Ming understood that the questions he would ask were most likely about the content of the prophecy, and it would be okay to tell him when the time came. The most important thing was to solve the problem at hand.

The deal was done, and Wu Mingbai began to use his ability to check. He soon came to the conclusion: "It is the Life Stone. I don't know what you are worried about."

Hearing this answer, Su Bei finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he didn't need to create any more trouble, and he just needed to find a way to clean up the dust in the Nightmare World. This was really the best news he had heard recently.

Su Bei was not worried that Wu Mingbai didn't see it. Since he was able to accurately determine the material of the dust when he was in the Nightmare World before, there was no reason why he couldn't determine the material of the Life Stone now.

Therefore, the possibility that the Life Stone is also a meteorite that fell from the sky can be completely ruled out.

After Su Bei left, Wu Mingbai thought about his intentions. He was willing to exchange a promise for the answer to this question, so it couldn't be just out of curiosity. There must be something that prompted him to ask this question, and Wu Mingbai was very interested in it.

Thinking carefully, this was not the first time Su Bei had asked him this question. He had asked the same question the last time he was in the Nightmare World. And that time he had asked him to examine the material of the dust.

Wu Minglang still remembered the answer at that time, that the dust was formed by the fragmentation of meteorites.

Is there any connection between these two questions? Su Bei seemed to be in a good mood after getting the answer just now. Could it be that he was originally worried that the Life Stone was also transformed from a meteorite?

What secrets are there that he doesn't know?

Meanwhile, Su Bei didn't know that Wu Mingbai was analyzing him and was almost sure of the truth. Back in the dormitory, he opened his phone and started reading comics in a relaxed mood.

The comic begins with a simple shot of Wu Mingbai doing a small task, a few single shots of everyone working as a team to do the task, and everyone complaining in the classroom, which perfectly outlines the current situation of the academy during this period of time for the reader - everyone is frantically doing the tasks.

The camera then turns to the government, where they have captured a high-level Nightmare Beast. After interrogation with supernatural powers, they finally learn that the Life Stone has appeared in the real world.

The author thus introduces the concept of the Life Stone, letting readers know how important this thing is to the Nightmare.

The next scene finally begins. Jiang Tianming, Su Bei, Li Shu, and Ling You are discussing this mission in the car. They judge that judging from the time when the first death of this mission occurred, it should have nothing to do with the recent Nightmare Beast riot due to the breath of the Life Stone.

All the bullet screens turned into the Emperor of Truth.

"Hahahahahahaha okay, from what you said, the Life Stone in this place must be stable!"

"It seems that the Life Stone is hidden in this village"

“How miserable hahahahahahahahahaha”

"Baby, do you know that you are setting a flag?"

“I feel like there will be a tough battle ahead.”

Su Bei raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw that his words "Changsheng Village is interesting" were also drawn in the comic. The readers almost immediately got what he meant and laughed "hahahaha" again.

Su Bei quickly skipped the clue search phase. The truth had already been revealed, so the process was naturally not that important. However, he still stopped to look at one place, which was the conversation between him and Ling You when they searched the ancestor's room at night.

[“You are pursuing immortality”

——"In a sense, yes."

"Whose immortality are you pursuing?"

——"Human immortality."】

Under the dark night, the two rounds of questions and answers aroused great response from readers.

"What do you mean?"

“I feel like what they said is very profound.”

"At first I thought Su Bei was pursuing immortality like many comic book characters, but now it seems that is not the case."

“Human Immortality”

“I once again felt the mystery of northern Jiangsu”

“I always feel that Northern Jiangsu is playing a big game!”

The effective content of the bullet screen is always relatively small. I will go to the forum later to see if anyone is discussing this content. Su Bei thought so and continued to flip forward. He did not stop until he saw that he was assigned to go with driver Wang to purchase cinnabar.

The perspective at the beginning of this section follows Su Bei and Driver Wang, depicting the scene where he did not follow the arrangement and went with Driver Wang, but turned the car around and went back to the village after leaving the village.

"I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen in northern Jiangsu"

"How should I put it? It feels like something unexpected but also reasonable."

"I'm so curious about what he's going to do!"

"Jiang Jiang: You'd better stay and help."

“I wonder what Su Bei saw.”

After briefly revealing his whereabouts, the main perspective returned to Jiang Tianming. The following scenes were all about them dealing with the villagers, and the whole process was no different from what Su Bei saw.

But when the old lady decided to die, there was a part that Su Bei didn't know. The old lady really heard the voice of the ancestor when the others were talking.

The old man tried hard to deceive her, telling her that if the formation succeeded, everyone in the village would die. She had been abandoned by the villagers and used as a scapegoat to prolong their lives. Since she was going to die anyway, she might as well drag others to die with her.

But what he didn't know was that the old lady didn't really hate other people, after all, the transaction was voluntary. But it didn't prevent her from being moved by the other party.

It turned out that the old lady had a son who owed a large sum of money to a man who was the debtor. The man used the money to bribe the old lady, promising that he would not pursue the debt as long as the old lady was willing to die.

It was definitely impossible to pay back the money, so the aunt had no choice but to agree to his request and use her own life to solve her son's problem.

At first, the truth brought by Jiang Tianming and others dashed her hopes. If the magic circle could not succeed, then they would no longer need her life. It was obviously impossible for the debt collector to be merciful and clear her son's debt without her paying anything, which meant that their family would still have to bear a huge debt.

At this time, the ancestor's words gave her a new idea. If the debtor died, her family would no longer need to repay the debt, and there would be no need to worry about the other party going back on their word. Even no one would know that his son owed a debt, which could be said to be helping her son solve the problem to the greatest extent.

This is why the old lady insisted on dying.

I have to say that this Changsheng Village is really full of villains, and it's a big drama. After reading this short background story, Su Bei couldn't help but be amazed. I don't know how the old lady's son is doing now. If he is also killed by this magic circle, it would be too ridiculous.

The scene where the ancestor appears and fights with Jiang Tianming and others is undoubtedly a small highlight, and Su Bei's performance in this section will naturally not be ignored by the author.

When Su Bei spoke up to remind him, the author did not draw him directly, but drew a Q version of Su Bei holding a megaphone in the upper right corner of the dialogue box of his sentence. At the same time, the number of bullet screens soared rapidly.

"Ahhhh, I finally got you!"

"You Beitangtang come out!"

"My goodness, it turned out to be hidden in the Stone of Life, hidden very deep"

“How did Su Bei know this in advance?”

"I thought the so-called main body was a corpse!"

"I knew that Brother Bei would be very useful if he stayed!"
