Chapter 243

The rankings in this post are at least relatively objective in Subei's eyes, but there are some that he disagrees with. For example, Lan Subing, in Subei's eyes, Lan Subing's combat power can definitely reach T1.

It is true that she can use fewer [Word Spirits], but because of this, Lan Subing deliberately selected some key commands when developing it. This makes her abilities concise and not as limited as the original poster thought.

However, the original poster was right about one thing, that is, Lan Subing's mental strength was indeed severely damaged.

Her mental power is actually not low, but the supernatural power consumes a lot of energy. Just like Su Bei's supernatural power, she uses mental power to exchange for strength. This is also the reason why Su Bei chose to change her mental power as soon as possible after changing her supernatural power. Without strong mental power support, supernatural powers cannot be used, and no matter how powerful they are, they are useless.

After a short break, everyone went back to school. Life seemed to be back on track, but everyone knew that this was just the calm before the storm.

On Friday, Feng Lan finally got the latest prophecy. Su Bei didn't know what the result of the prophecy was, he only knew that the other party didn't come to school that day. And from that day on, everyone became busy again.

This time, there weren't many missions that required them to go out on the field. The main reason was that the training at the academy was much more rigorous. It was obvious that the teachers had a purpose in training them. They didn't train them to have superpowers, but instead trained them to have endurance.

Every day they have to fight each other in a car battle, one person against the other thirteen people. Sometimes you can use your powers, and sometimes you can't.

Although the training process was hard, no one complained. Everyone knew that they were not doing meaningless training, but preparing for the big event that was about to happen.

The training process is always very boring. The only thing worth mentioning is that the comics were updated again during this period. They are Lan Subing, Wu Mingbai, Zhao Xiaoyu and Si Zhaohua.

They were called by the government to help patrol the area, and then they ran into the Nightmare Beasts raiding the treasure house. After a great battle, they finally succeeded in keeping the Life Stone and preventing it from being taken away by the Nightmare Beasts.

This matter had nothing to do with him, Su Bei just flipped through it briefly and saw Feng Lan's prophecy from it. His prophecy was very simple, the next battle was about to begin, and the location was in Suqi City next to the supernatural government.

Because there are so few psychics, although there are many psychics in cities where psychic governments and several psychic academies are located, other cities do not have this condition. Even in the neighboring city of Suqi, there are not many psychics living there.

Fortunately, Feng Lan's prophecy gave the supernatural government time to make arrangements in advance. In the past few days, many of the resident teachers of the "Endless Supernatural Academy" have left, and many of them have gone to Suqi City to guard.

Not only them, but also the second and third year high school students who have a certain fighting ability have gone. This is not only a battle, but also a good training opportunity for them. Sooner or later, these young people will take the lead in the future of the supernatural world.

But their departure gave Su Bei a bad feeling. If most of the psychics went to Suqi City, wouldn't the defenses of other places be very weak?

Although Feng Lan predicted that the battle site was Suqi City, it does not mean that there are no problems in other places. In fact, Feng Lan's [prophecy] always pits everyone in a certain place, playing a little joke on fate. Therefore, Su Bei now seriously suspects that the nightmare beast tide will appear in other places.

After thinking for a while, he called Feng Lan after class and said, "Feng Lan, come here for a moment. I have something to ask you."

The two walked to a deserted place, and Su Bei asked directly: "Does your prophecy confirm that only one city will be involved in a war?"

Feng Lan was stunned when he heard this question. In order to avoid causing panic, he did not tell anyone about this matter at the request of the government. How did Su Bei know so much?

He wanted to ask a question, but when he thought about the person who said this, he didn't have the desire to ask. With Su Bei's ability, it's not surprising that he knows everything. So Feng Lan just answered: "Not necessarily, but Suqi City must have the largest scale of the battle."

After hearing what he said, Su Bei immediately had no objection. It was reasonable to place the most people in the most dangerous places, and there were people left in other places.

After bidding farewell to Feng Lan, Su Bei began to think about how he should make use of this campaign. His ultimate goal was to destroy the Nightmare Beast, so he couldn't miss anything related to the Nightmare Beast.

Every time a large-scale battle like this begins, it will definitely arouse people's thoughts on completely destroying the Nightmare Beast. At this time, the method of completely destroying the Nightmare Beast must be very reasonable in the eyes of readers.

He needed a way to release the news and ensure that the author would include it in the comics.

There are two ways to achieve this effect, assuming luck is not a factor. The first is to make the comic book world known to everyone, so the author has no choice but to draw it. The second is to let the key protagonists, Jiang Tianming and the other two, see this method. In a sense, if they see it, it means that the readers will see it too.

Of the two methods, the second one is definitely easier, but Su Bei can't just show Jiang Tianming a fake book like he did last time and call it a day. It's best not to use the same method of revealing information twice, otherwise it will easily cause dissatisfaction among the author and the reader.

Let him think about what is the most reasonable way to let Jiang Tianming and others know this information, and what will definitely make them believe it?

Soon he came up with a good idea - eavesdropping. Undoubtedly, eavesdropping is the easiest way to obtain information that people would trust. If Jiang Tianming and his team could eavesdrop on the chats of the Nightmare Beasts and learn that the only way to completely destroy the Nightmare Beasts is to clear the meteorite powder from the Nightmare Beast World, Su Bei would not believe that the author would not draw this plot in the comics.

Moreover, this method is extremely difficult to accomplish, and even if the Nightmare Beast says it carelessly, it will not arouse suspicion.

The only question now is where he found two high-level nightmare beasts to act with him.

A true high-level nightmare beast would definitely not be able to do that. They all have mutual vision, and if one nightmare beast says something, the others will definitely know about it. It would be easy for complications to arise.

If you're lying...

Su Bei took out the prop that he hadn't used for a long time from his storage ring - "Dream Bubble".

In addition to allowing him to experiment with supernatural powers in his dreams, this item also has a very important ability, which is to create completely real things in reality. However, this kind of thing has no offensive power and is completely controlled by him.

During the last winter vacation, Su Bei used the ability of "Dream Bubble" to deceive the two wanted criminals and successfully helped Jiang Tianming and his men escape.

Thinking of this, Su Bei immediately created two high-level nightmare beasts according to the memory of the high-level nightmare beasts he had seen before. One was the black bubble nightmare beast that he had only met once, and the other was the knowledge nightmare beast that he had seen before.

On the surface, it looks exactly like the real thing, but the Nightmare Beast generally has an unpleasant aura around it, and "Dream Bubble" cannot imitate this.

But Su Bei didn't care. As long as they were far away, this little problem wouldn't be noticeable. As long as they were 70% similar, it was fine. There was no need to worry too much about the details. Two high-level nightmare beasts were together. Jiang Tianming and the others wouldn't attack them directly, right?

Wait... maybe not.

If there were several people together, they wouldn't be afraid of these two high-level nightmare beasts. No, he had to prepare a few more and find a time when there were fewer of them. Otherwise, Su Bei was really afraid that this group of people would rush up and expose his deception at once, which would be really troublesome.

After finalizing the basic plan, the next step was to perfect the details. In order to ensure that Jiang Tianming and his team could really eavesdrop on the content and that the subsequent discussion would not go astray, he had to be in control on the spot.

Since he needed to be on the scene, the arrangements had to be made in advance. And the location he arranged had to be a place they would definitely be at, either in Suqi City or in the "Infinite Power Academy".

Although he didn't know when the battle would start, he had to start as soon as possible. One of the venues was even out of town, so he had to start now.

"What do you want to ask for leave from school?" In the office, Meng Huai was surprised to hear Su Bei's words, "At this time..."

In this situation, the school is definitely the safest place. There is no telling how many nightmare beasts have sneaked into the human world because of the Life Stone, and it is easy for psychics to be ambushed outside.

Su Bei nodded affirmatively: "I'm too tired recently and want to take a rest."

"Can't you just rest in the dormitory?" Meng Huai asked suspiciously. He always suspected that Su Bei was going out for something at this time. The main reason he gave was too perfunctory. He knew it was fake as soon as he heard it, which made it difficult for him not to be suspicious.

Hearing this, Su Bei slightly widened his eyes, as if he was very surprised by his words, and asked back with a righteous attitude: "What kind of rest is it in school?"

Meng Huai: “…”

Although this statement is quite annoying, as a former poor student, Meng Huai really finds it hard not to agree. At school, even lying in the dormitory, I can't relax. School is so oppressive.

"No." But recognition does not mean that he has to agree. Meng Huai said calmly, "Others are not tired, why are you tired?"

He didn't believe Su Bei's reason at all. Although this guy was always lazy, when he really started training, he would punch Jiang Tianming and kick Si Zhaohua. If anyone was tired, it should be others who were tired. Why should he be tired?

If Su Bei was just being lazy and wanted to find an excuse to take a day off, then he would definitely not agree to it. How could a teacher agree to such a thing?

However, although Meng Huai had made up his mind that if Su Bei didn't give him a true answer, he would never agree to let him go. But since Su Bei dared to come, he must have made all the preparations. He said calmly: "If I don't go out, the whole world will be in trouble."

"Did you think I was scared?" Meng Huai sneered disdainfully, "Why didn't you say you wanted to save the world?"

"Maybe I really am going to save the world." Su Bei said half-jokingly, "Don't we have a lie detector in the academy? We can tell if what I say is true or not by just testing it."

"Are you serious?" Hearing him say this, Meng Huai's expression finally became serious. He sat up, staring at him closely with a pair of sharp eyes.

"Of course, am I the kind of person who tells lies?" Su Bei's answer seemed nonchalant, as if he was just talking nonsense.

But Meng Huai was not fooled by his appearance. Instead, he asked more seriously: "What on earth are you going out to do?"

"Teacher, you have to know that some things are like making a wish. Once you say it out loud, it won't work." Su Bei answered seriously, obviously not planning to tell him.

But he really wasn't lying. Creating a way for the Nightmares to die, how could that not be considered saving the world?

Resisting the urge to punch him, Meng Huai rolled his eyes and said, "I really can't say."

"I really can't say." Su Bei answered sincerely.

After a moment of silence, Meng Huai asked a few specific questions that did not involve the content: "Will there be any danger in the next few days? Is there anything you need our help with?"

Hearing this question, it was clear that he had believed Su Bei's words. Meng Huai thought he had some understanding of his troublesome student. He was not the kind of person who would talk about saving the world all the time.

In fact, Meng Huai was already very satisfied as long as he didn't talk about destroying the world.

Since the other party said this matter is so important, it is very likely that it is really that important. It is normal that he cannot say it, just like Feng Lan's [prophecy], there are always some things that cannot be spoken casually. Who knows what fate has given him?

So Meng Huai just asked if there was anything he could help with. If Su Bei really wanted to do something important that would concern the world, it would be great if they could provide help.

"It's safe to go for three days. As for helping me... just find a reason for my leave." Su Bei said nonchalantly. He only needed to do two things on this trip: scout the area and then find the most suitable place to make arrangements in advance.

If nothing unexpected happened, the author would not put his behavior in the comics. In this case, he had to find a reasonable reason for his disappearance during this period to avoid arousing suspicion. Although it would not be a big deal even if he was suspected, Su Bei liked not to leave any loopholes.

After getting the answer, Meng Huai was too lazy to bother with it, so he leaned back impatiently and waved his hand: "Go away."

"Okay!" Su Bei immediately turned around and left.

As he walked out of the academy gate, he silently asked the "comic consciousness" in his heart: "Can my actions in the past three days be hidden?"

He was a little worried that Meng Huai would hire someone to monitor him because he was worried about him. There are many ways for people with special abilities to monitor each other without being discovered, and tracking is even the simplest one.

"If I say no, what will you do?" "Comic Consciousness" asked curiously.

"Then let's cover it up." Su Bei said casually, "We have three days anyway. First transfer to my house, and then use the data at home to find the most suitable location in advance, then leave invisibly and find a good place to 'set up the dishes' in advance."

The reason why he had to go there in advance was to do this "setting the plate" work. When the time came, as long as he touched the "dream bubble", he could immediately make the nightmare beasts that appeared from it appear at the perfect spot.

After talking about the original plan, Su Bei calmly asked: "But from what you just said, there should be a way, right?"

"Comic Consciousness" borrowed his own words: "After all, you are saving the world."

That night, Su Bei took a bus to Suqi City. This city built next to the supernatural government was quite prosperous, with a lot of traffic and people.

However, many vehicles were heading out of the city. Almost all the vehicles he saw along the way were leaving the city. Regarding this, Su Bei even specifically asked the driver who brought him here.

I just learned that the government of Suqi City has been evacuating people since two days ago. The specific reason was not disclosed, but the rumor was that something bad was going to happen here soon, so if you don't want to die, leave quickly. You don't need to keep going, you can come back when the matter is over.

In recent years, a war has occurred every few years, so even those who have not experienced it have some idea of ​​it. Most residents did not waste time and moved temporarily as required by the government. The main reason is that they will receive subsidies if they move in time. If they move too late, not only will their lives be in danger, but they will also not make any money.

After walking only two steps on the road, Su Bei felt a spiritual force sweeping over him. However, it was not directed at him, it was probably just a simple inspection. After all, a battle was about to break out in Suqi City, and it was normal for high-level psychics to patrol all the time.

While strolling on the street, going against the flow of the bustling crowd of people moving around him, Su Bei looked at the map of Suqi City on his mobile phone, thinking about where would be the most suitable location for him.

There are two hard requirements for this location. The first is that Jiang Tianming must go here whenever he comes to visit Suqi City. The other requirement is that there can't be too many other people. It's best if there's no one else besides the protagonists when he uses the "Dream Bubble".

Once there are more people, it will be easy to expose his scam. Su Bei doesn't think that the fake nightmare beast created by the "Dream Bubble" can really fool everyone.

Secondly, the nightmare beast appeared suddenly, so he needed to find a blind spot for it to appear. If there were people everywhere, how could he find such a blind spot that no one would notice?

Thirdly, Su Bei hoped that the news that "Nightmare Beast can be completely eliminated" would be seen by the protagonists first, then turned into reality by the comics, and finally known by other people in the comic world. It is best not to change this order, otherwise it is easy to cause complications.

You have to know that it takes time for the changes he made through the comics to take effect, and they have to wait until the next comic update. If many people get this information in advance and start investigating, then things will be troublesome.

They will soon find out that there is no such thing. Once they make the results of the investigation public to clear up the rumors, the plan in northern Jiangsu will definitely not work.

From the perspective of comics, the locations where the protagonists have their plots must be more distinctive, such as the city’s landmark buildings.

There are three landmark buildings in Suqi City. One is the library in the city center, one is the TV station in the north of the city, which is also the tallest building in the entire city. The last one is the square in the north of the city, but it was decisively closed as soon as the news of the upcoming battle was received.

After careful consideration, Su Bei decisively went to the closed Chengbei Square.

First of all, the city center is definitely not an option, as there is no way there is no one there. The fact that there are many people violates his principle of choosing a location, so it can be ruled out directly.

The TV station is a good place to hide the Nightmare Beast, and it is also easy for plots to happen. But the label of "the tallest building" is not good, or rather, it is not bad, but too good. Everyone knows that when attacking a city, you must first occupy the highest point. This position has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. He can't do anything in front of a group of bigwigs.

Eliminating the other two by process of elimination, the only option left is to go to the square.

This place is called a square, but it is actually more like a large shopping mall surrounded by a commercial street. At this time, the commercial street, which should have been very busy, was almost deserted, with only a few vendors packing up their stalls.

Su Bei walked straight into the shopping mall, and as soon as he pressed the elevator switch, a low-level nightmare beast jumped out. Previously, a large number of nightmare beasts came out to look for life stones. Although many of them have returned, many are still left outside, and this one is obviously one of them.

However, just after dealing with this vine-like nightmare beast, Su Bei was suddenly stunned. He suddenly remembered something. If he was not mistaken, this was a dodder nightmare beast! As the name suggests, the dodder nightmare beast is like the dodder in the plant. One of its characteristics is that it must rely on a high-level nightmare beast to survive.

They can absorb a small amount of the power of high-level nightmare beasts as their own means of attack. The stronger the nightmare beast they depend on, the stronger they will be. But once there are no high-level nightmare beasts around, they will only lurk in the corner and have no attack ability at all.

The dodder nightmare beast just now clearly has attack power, which means there is a high-level nightmare beast nearby!

After just wandering around, he actually came to a plot point. Su Bei felt overwhelmed for a moment. Unfortunately, he couldn't run away. Even though he knew there were high-level nightmare beasts here, he had to bite the bullet and finish the journey.

Take the elevator directly to the fifth floor, the highest floor, and walk towards the cinema on the top floor of the shopping mall. This kind of place is very dark, which is suitable for sudden appearance of something and eavesdropping, and is a very good target location.

He walked forward with his spiritual power, and soon he noticed something in the cinema. The huge creature was, without a doubt, a high-level nightmare beast that the dodder nightmare beast possessed.

Su Bei sighed inwardly and walked straight in. His best target was in the cinema, and he couldn't avoid it, so he had to face it. However, he was still confident in his own strength. It was just a high-level nightmare beast, and at most it would consume most of his mental power.

As expected, as soon as he entered the cinema, a huge spider web fell from the sky and tried to trap Su Bei. However, Su Bei, who had been prepared, was not likely to be easily caught. He easily dodged the first spider web, and then another gear popped out and cut another trap spider web from it: "Come out, don't hide it."

"Tick, tick, tick..."

Amid the creepy sound, a black nightmare spider as big as a bedroom crawled out from the darkness with eight long, hairy legs: "As expected of you, you are from the Destiny Department. You knew I was here a long time ago, right?"

It can speak clearly, this is indeed a high-level nightmare beast. Su Bei quickly analyzed it in his mind. And it looks like a control system, but I don't know if it has poison. If it has poison, it will be troublesome. Even if I kill the opponent, I may not be able to dispel it.

Before Su Bei could answer the previous question, the Spider Nightmare asked immediately: "Why did you come here to see me?"

School is about to start, so I wish you all the best in advance... Well, I can't wish you anything, because school is not a good start.
