Chapter 25
This post opened Subei's eyes. There were people watching, taking sides, arguing, and even supporting couples. It was indeed a quarrel post, with a mixed bag of people.
What is even more shocking is naturally the inhumane "comic consciousness": "You are right..."
It muttered to itself: "I really don't understand you humans."
Hearing this, Su Bei smiled and closed the post: "After all, you are not a human. We humans are such 'emotionally rich' creatures."
Having achieved his goal, he went to wash up in a happy mood. There will be a good show tomorrow, so he needs to go to bed early and get some energy.
The next day was Saturday, and I had no classes. Su Bei didn't have the habit of getting up late, so I got up early in the morning and went for a morning run.
There are only first graders in the school this month, and few of them have the habit of jogging in the morning, so there are only a few people on the playground.
As usual, Su Bei walked up to Feng Lan and prepared to run with him. However, Feng Lan did not do the same as usual, but asked, "Have you found the murderer?"
He is always so straightforward.
"What do you mean?" Su Bei did not answer directly, but asked back. You know, Feng Lan did not participate in the whole process of searching for the murderer. How did he know that they had found him?
Feng Lan did not hide it from him: "The school asked me to make a prediction."
"To the murderer." Su Bei raised his eyebrows in surprise. He was not surprised that the school would study the murderer. After all, the black lightning tattoo on the back of the murderer's neck could not be hidden. Once the school discovered it, they would immediately associate it with the organization behind him. Therefore, it was normal for them to want to study him.
What really surprised him was that the school actually asked Feng Lan to make predictions.
He is now very curious about what Feng Lan's prophecy can predict.
As early as when he created his own supernatural power, in order not to affect the popularity of both parties, Su Bei deliberately chose two directions with Feng Lan. When Feng Lan said "something will happen when school starts", Su Bei could feel that he was not specifically predicting a certain person, but a broader aspect.
So he used his ability in prophecy specifically for himself, so that he could effectively distinguish himself from Feng Lan without appearing to be too arrogant. After all, his ambition was huge, and he wanted more than just the ability to predict.
Feng Lan nodded: "The school only said that it was a murderer in the school, but I think it should be the one you are investigating."
The school asked him to predict the future because they wanted to know the organization behind the murderer. Su Bei was also very curious about this organization, so he needed to know the content of Feng Lan's prediction.
After thinking for a while, he ran forward and asked casually: "Will the result of this prophecy be told to the parents of the deceased?"
If the parents of the deceased can be told, then the other participants will probably know as well.
Unfortunately, he denied this statement: "It's not cheap to hire me, and I don't think the school will reveal the content of my prophecy to others."
Hearing this, Su Bei stopped talking and concentrated on running. Although he was a little disappointed, he was not discouraged. After all, it was a prophecy about that organization, and it might be shown in the comics.
If the comics weren't written, it wouldn't be too late for him to find a way to make up a story.
After running and having breakfast, Su Bei continued to hang out in the library. After his supernatural powers were changed by the comics, he finally had a specific target for investigation, which was the compass.
The compass is a very complicated thing. Although he understood part of the content of the destiny compass through yesterday's experiment and the superpower owner's own understanding of the superpower.
But it's easy to tell that such a complex compass must contain many secrets. If he can understand these secrets, he might be able to jump to the mysterious S class, let alone the A class.
The library of the Academy of Superpowers records a great many superpowers. Since the academy was founded, the vast majority of people with superpowers in Dragon Country have entered the academy to study, and the records of various superpowers have naturally accumulated more and more.
Su Bei had been researching fate-related supernatural powers before, but this category was so large and complicated that he hadn't found anything useful for the time being. At most, he had found some new ideas for deceiving people.
But the compass was different, a very standard instrument-type ability. Although there were many instrument-type abilities, they were clearly categorized. After ruling out weapon-type instrument abilities, the compass ability was quickly found.
Since the establishment of the School of Supernatural Powers 200 years ago, there have been a total of ten cases of compass supernatural powers. Among them, only one is related to fate and prophecy.
This ability is called [Destiny Compass]!
After finding this special power, Su Bei's eyes lit up and he began to read it as if he had found a treasure.
[Destiny Compass] is a prophetic power, and the prophetic ability is presented on the pointer. The user uses his mental power to ask what he wants to know, and the pointer will give the answer.
In the Dragon Kingdom, the compass itself is used to detect Feng Shui, and the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches on it form countless hexagrams.
The principle of the psychic's [Destiny Compass] is actually similar to fortune-telling. One needs to fully understand the hexagrams above in order to accurately interpret the prophecy.
But this thing is obviously not easy to learn, at least the owner of the [Destiny Compass] at that time did not learn these contents at all. So he wasted his ability, and when he graduated, he could only use the compass to help others find things.
It's a waste of natural resources.
But Su Bei understood him very well. If he had the [Destiny Compass], he would probably be wasting it. Feng Shui metaphysics is not that easy to learn without a teacher or textbooks. It's okay if you are interested in it, but if you are not interested at all, it will be even more difficult.
Fortunately, his ability is not the "Compass of Destiny" but the "Gear of Destiny". Perhaps through comics, it can be further developed and directly become the ultimate version of "Destiny".
Back to the [Destiny Compass], Su Bei did get something useful from reading this information carefully. He had already keenly discovered the difference between the Destiny Compass he could see and the compass of the [Destiny Compass] psychic.
The pointer of the [Destiny Compass] points to the direction the user needs, while the pointer of the Subei compass can only point to a fixed place. It will only point to the direction where major events will happen to the person in question in the near future.
"Can I take the initiative to adjust the direction of the compass?" Su Bei muttered to himself. He had always thought about adjusting the compass, and who hasn't thought about adjusting the direction of the compass?
If he could adjust, maybe he could change other people's fate!
However, the premise of all this is to understand the meaning of each direction of the compass. Only by understanding these can he change according to his heart. Before that, it is better not to act rashly.
With a plan in mind, Su Bei closed the book and left the library. As soon as he left the library, his cell phone rang again, the same notification tone as yesterday.
He froze in place, almost thinking the murderer had escaped. But thinking that the school wouldn't be so useless, he quickly took out his phone.
Fortunately, what he thought was right, and there was no murderer escaping. Meng Huai just informed him to go to his office at 5pm to close the case.
Thinking that there might be a quarrel at that time, Su Bei raised his eyebrows and planned to give the protagonists a small gift.
In the afternoon, Su Bei browsed forums, mainly reading posts about himself. Forums are true feedback of readers' psychology. Only by mastering readers' hearts can we master our own future.
He soon concluded that readers liked his mysterious and powerful characteristics, and quite a number of readers believed that he would be the villain.
Mystery and power are also the direction he is moving towards. He perfectly grasps the readers' preferences, making Su Bei feel that all his years of reading comics have not been in vain.
As for the villain they wanted, forget it. He didn't intend to really be a villain. It was tiring and would definitely fail in the end. And most importantly, if he chose to go the direction of the villain, then a large part of the action comics would never be drawn.
But Su Bei's goal is to give himself more footage so that readers can better understand the powerful supernatural powers he made up. Without footage, it would be like working in vain.
However, since so many readers like him to be a villain, a purely righteous role is obviously not suitable for him.
Fortunately, Su Bei did not set himself up as a pure good person at the beginning. It is hard to be a good person these days. If you want to be a good person, you should be a villain who walks in the gray area and is both good and evil!
Time flies, and it is almost five o'clock. Su Bei takes his mobile phone and goes out to Meng Huai's office.
When he arrived at the office, several students had already arrived. Compared with him, a bystander, the person involved was of course more anxious.
Seeing Su Bei coming in, everyone nodded slightly, but no one spoke in this slightly heavy atmosphere. No matter how unreasonable the grandparents were, this was a matter involving a life.
Although everyone was very happy when the murderer was caught, after the short-lived excitement faded, no one could smile when they thought about the death of a classmate and now had to hand the murderer over to his parents.
Su Bei could laugh, but it was a sarcastic laugh. He said to the "comic consciousness" in his heart: "It seems that it is best for me to die. After all, I have no relatives anymore, and no one will be sad for me if I die."
"Comic consciousness" does not speak.
After a while, Meng Huai and his grandparents walked into the office together. Knowing that the murderer had been caught, his grandparents looked fine, and except for being very haggard, they looked like ordinary people.
Seeing them like this, Jiang Tianming and the other two's eyes moved slightly, and they softened a little. In any case, this couple had lost their child, and their way of dealing with it was a little too rough.
Before they could think clearly, the parents walked up to Wu Mingbai, with a kind look that was completely different from that day: "Oh, we are so sorry, my husband and I didn't control our emotions that day. In fact, we were just joking that day, and we didn't really want you to help us find the murderer. Who would have thought that you actually took it seriously?"
After hearing these hypocritical words, the little bit of sympathy that the three of them had instantly disappeared.
It's just a joke, whoever believes it is a fool. If they fail to find the murderer within the specified time, I'm afraid the couple will not have this attitude.
Wu Mingbai's eyes flashed with sarcasm, and he smiled brightly: "It's okay, I actually like to joke too."
Since the couple's "joke" was to force a person who had little to do with the case to find the murderer, Wu Ming's "joke" was to let the couple find that their company had disappeared when they left the campus.
