Chapter 269

As soon as this was said, everyone's eyes suddenly became thoughtful. Yes, merchants who influence customers have to give red envelopes and vouchers as compensation, not to mention a huge place like Weixi Holy Land that has a great reputation.

They didn't ask for anything else, just to be allowed to land on the island again for free.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at the guards who were fighting, and their eyes lit up. They felt that what they saw were not people fighting, but gold coins fighting.

Seeing this group of people going up to stop the fight, Si Zhaohua looked at Su Bei suspiciously: "What is your purpose in persuading them to stop the fight?"

Given Su Bei's personality, he should have liked watching these people fighting, so why would he want to stop it?

"Rather than them fighting, I want to see the reason why they fight." Su Bei said with a smile.

If they just waited here until the Weixi Holy Land sent someone to stop them, they would be taken away directly, and he would definitely not be able to get any inside information. But Su Bei was very curious about the inside story, so he naturally had to stop them in advance to give him some time to get information.

Just as others thought, Su Bei also realized that the fight between the two parties was definitely not due to simple momentary loyalty, but because of old grudges between the two sides.

But which two parties are these two parties referring to?

On the surface, it was referring to the two groups of people fighting now, but as far as Su Bei knew, the guards of each project in Weixi Holy Land adopted a rotation system. It was not that a few guards guarded a project for a long time, and they would be dispersed and reassigned every once in a while.

This means that these people are probably not long-term colleagues. If they are not long-term colleagues, how can they have so many common grudges?

Therefore, the "two sides" here probably refer not only to these two groups of people, but to the two different forces in the Weixi Holy Land.

From the perspective of the comics, although Jiang Tianming and his team came to Weixi Holy Land to find a treatment for Zhou Renjie, since they had already come and were going to stay for a full five days, it was naturally impossible for them to spend their time peacefully without anything happening.

There is no doubt that the plot is similar to what happened in today's gang fight.

This kind of thing is not related to the main plot, and it is a temporary event. It is difficult for Su Bei to foresee it in advance. Therefore, he must seize every opportunity to collect intelligence before the incident breaks out completely. In this way, even if he cannot know everything by then, he can at least be prepared.

Of course, Su Bei would not do it himself to stop these troubles. He decisively chose to trick other superpowers into helping him. After all, he did not lie. If he helped the Weixi Holy Land, they would definitely not mind giving him some benefits as a thank you and hush money.

But to be honest, Su Bei doesn't have the ability to change the fate of so many people in one go. Although he has just improved his mental strength a lot, he hasn't mastered it yet, so it's not easy to use it directly.

It is worth mentioning that the "Holy Banyan Tree" is indeed a treasure. 0.1% of high-level mental power is a lot. Su Bei can feel that his mental power has increased significantly.

You have to know that his spiritual power has not been used for a long time. This time there is a visible increase. Even if he knows that there will be trouble soon, it does not affect Su Bei's good mood.

"What did you predict?" Feng Lan asked sharply. Although Su Bei's own explanation was reasonable, he felt that the other party might have predicted something and took the initiative to intervene in the incident.

Su Bei nodded and shook his head, but did not give a specific answer. Of course, he did not predict anything, but he knew that something was going to happen here. Was this a disguised prophecy?

Seeing his behavior, the two of them calmed down and waited patiently for others to deal with it. Since Su Bei decided to ask something based on the prophecy, they naturally had to support him.

Those who dared to stay here and continue to watch the show were indeed more or less powerful, and it didn't take long for them to control the situation. After all, no matter how crazy these guards were in fighting, they knew to hold back when facing tourists, and it was relatively easy to stop them.

After both of them calmed down, Su Bei walked up to them. Relying on his young age and youthful appearance, he acted like an adult and said naively, "Why are you brothers and sisters fighting? The teacher said that our abilities are to be used against nightmare beasts, not against our companions. If you have any small conflicts, why don't you ask the teacher, your superior, to mediate?"

The first half of his words did make the guards feel ashamed. Just as he said, superpowers should be used to deal with nightmare beasts. It was really inappropriate for them to fight among themselves, especially to the point where they even used superpowers to fight.

But after hearing the second half of his words, everyone couldn't help laughing. They were still children after all, and couldn't understand the adults' twists and turns.

One of the women, who looked like a native of Taiwan and had her hair tied in a high ponytail, rubbed her bruised cheeks and grinned, saying, "Little boy, our conflicts cannot be resolved by our superiors. Our superiors have the same conflicts as us."

It turned out to be a matter between two forces, involving not only these low-level guards, but also their superiors, and even their superiors' superiors.

"Lin Qi!" Another person sternly stopped her from talking, "You're talking too much."

"Sorry, sorry." Lin Qi also realized that she had said too much and apologized repeatedly. However, Su Bei could see that she was only apologizing for the rules and didn't really care about it. It was obvious that exposing the secret didn't matter to her.

Well, he's someone I can talk to.

Thinking of this, he said a few more words of comfort with a harmless look on his face, then returned to Si Zhaohua and the other man and pretended to chat with them.

"That's it." Si Zhaohua didn't quite believe it. In his opinion, the only useful words Su Bei said just now were the first one. He couldn't figure out the other party's intention at all after that.

Of course it was impossible to finish it. Su Bei shook his head, indicating that they were not in a hurry. Anyway, today's project task had been completed, so it didn't matter if they waited a little longer here.

Soon the guards returned to their positions, pretending to be doing their job and enjoying themselves. After the enthusiasm faded, the fear finally returned to them.

They gathered to fight during work hours, and it was the tourists who encouraged them. If the higher-ups knew about it, they would be punished. Deducting wages and being scolded were minor matters. Weixi Holy Land had a special law enforcement hall, and being caught by the law enforcement hall was a disaster.

Now they can only hope that the passengers who escaped before did not call customer service to explain the situation. Or when the investigators come, they will see that they behave themselves and will not pursue the matter further.

Seeing that they had all dispersed, Su Bei went back to Lin Qi who was standing in the corner without attracting attention: "Sister Lin Qi, I can't find where to go for the next project. Can you take us there?"

With the map specially distributed by Weixi Holy Land, most people should be able to find the way, except for those who are directionally challenged. Lin Qi knew that there were three people in Su Bei's team, and it couldn't be that all three of them were directionally challenged.

She raised her eyebrows and showed a playful look: "You want to continue listening to what happened just now?"

She had guessed it, so there was no need for Su Bei to hide it. He showed a deliberately embarrassed but curious expression: "I can't hide it from you. Is that okay?"

"Hmm..." Lin Qi pretended to be embarrassed and thought for a while, then suddenly smiled brightly, "Of course you can, but you are not allowed to tell anyone after listening to it! Even if you tell others, you can't tell others that it was me who said it."

Su Bei also smiled and agreed readily, "No problem!"

After discussing with them, Si Zhaohua came over and asked doubtfully: "Is it okay to just leave like this?"

Or is this really not considered as being absent from duty? But if you ask this question, it seems like you don't want the other party to agree. So Si Zhaohua just mentioned it euphemistically and didn't say the whole thing.

Of course, even if he didn't say the whole thing, the meaning was clear enough. Lin Qi smiled proudly: "What do you mean by absenteeism? I just went to the toilet. So many guards were sent here to make it convenient for us to solve physiological problems at any time."

What a great way to slack off in the bathroom. Su Bei gave him a thumbs up out of respect: "Then let's go, don't waste time."

When they reached a deserted place, the leader Lin Qi stopped and sat down carelessly on a bench by the roadside. He patted the seat next to him and said, "Don't stand anymore. Sit down too."

Soon everyone found a good seat and sat down. Lin Qi began to talk about their conflict: "The conflict between us has been going on for several years. Oh, the 'we' I mentioned are not the few people who just fought, but many, many people, basically all the indigenous people on the island are involved."

The three had expected this statement. They had long thought that anything that could lead to a group of people fighting openly must be an open conflict on the island.

Lin Qi couldn't help but frown when talking about this matter, and she didn't mean to cover up for the Holy Land of Weixi: "Simply put, some of us hope to continue to guard this island and live the same life as before. You can call us conservatives. The other part of us are naturally the radicals. They think that we have so many resources and are the starting point of superpowers, so we should become the leaders of all superpowers."

Weixi Holy Land is indeed the origin of superpowers. At that time, the meteorite hit the area of ​​Weixi Holy Land, and after the shock wave exploded, everyone entered the world of nightmare beasts.

This is why there are so many natural wonders of the supernatural world on the island. After all, people affected by the meteorite can become supernatural beings, and the affected souls can become nightmare beasts. Then the affected land and vegetation will naturally change. Especially when the distance is so close, it is difficult to expect everything to be normal.

"Aren't you already the holy land in the eyes of all the superpowers?" Feng Lan asked in confusion. His family had cooperated with the Weixi Holy Land, so he was naturally more concerned about their internal conflicts. If they really had any suicidal thoughts, he could take his family away as soon as possible.

As the head of a family, no matter how indifferent he appears to be on the surface, Feng Lan's education from childhood has determined that he must more or less put the family first and consider the family.

However, the Feng family is a prophecy family, so as long as his supernatural power is there, he will have an absolute advantage. Managing the family can be left to others, and Feng Lan only needs to cultivate his supernatural power. Therefore, he does not hold power in the family, and belongs to the kind of mascot-like family, but of course he also has absolute authority.

Si Zhaohua is also devoted to his family, but unlike Feng Lan, due to the different nature of his family, he wants to become a powerful head of the family in the future and has learned far more family methods than Feng Lan.

Before Lin Qi could answer, he revealed the truth: "Because of greed."

At best, the holy land is just a check-in point that is very beneficial to people with special abilities. To say that it has any ruling power is completely wishful thinking. At most, they can use the benefits of the holy land to exchange for people with special abilities to work for them.

But any force can do this, and it is normal for some people in Weixi Holy Land to be dissatisfied. As Lin Qi said, they are the origin of superpowers after all, and now their development is indeed lagging behind their reputation.

"That's right." As expected, Lin Qi nodded in agreement, "They are just greedy. If they just want to expand the power of Weixi Holy Land, it would be fine, but they want to use crooked means."

Su Bei raised his eyebrows: "What crooked ways?"

Realizing that he had said the wrong thing again, Lin Qi's face changed slightly, a trace of regret flashed across his eyes, and he smiled and interrupted: "As long as it destroys our harmonious and stable life, isn't it all crooked and evil?"

The three of them looked at each other and pretended not to have heard what she had just said, but in fact, they had already started thinking secretly.

Su Bei was the first to finish thinking and continued to ask: "Excuse me, can I ask why you told us this? It stands to reason that family disgrace should not be made public. Even if you have conflicts among yourselves, you should not tell outsiders like us, right?"

This can be seen from the attitude of the person who stopped her just now. It is clear that the people of Weixi Holy Land also believe that family disgrace should not be made public, and do not want to tell this matter to tourists.

"Because I don't want you to be fooled by those radicals." Lin Qi said as a matter of course, "Besides, I think there is nothing wrong with talking about this matter. Can you really come in just because of our internal fighting?"

She was absolutely confident about this. The Holy Land of Weixi had been able to stand firm for many years despite possessing so many coveted treasures. Its defense measures must have been very good.

Indeed, the Weixi Holy Land is an island surrounded by the sea, and the surrounding sea area has a unique name, called "Forbidden Sea". Just by hearing the name, you can tell that this is a place similar to a life-forbidden zone. The sea water is extremely corrosive and can also restrict the use of supernatural powers.

There are no natural barriers to air attacks, but precisely because there are no barriers in the sky, it is very easy for people on the island to detect air raids.

At that time, the sneak attackers will enjoy the all-round 360-degree attack from the Weixi Holy Land, ensuring that the enemy will not be able to return.

Hearing this, Si Zhaohua couldn't help but ask: "What is your method of choosing the person to tell?"

This news has not spread at all yet, which shows that she doesn't tell everyone.

"I'll tell whoever asks me." Lin Qi gave an unexpected answer, followed by an outrageous but reasonable explanation: "Anyone who takes the initiative to ask me must have discovered the problem, and a careful investigation will reveal the result. In that case, why should I hide it?"

This explanation was indeed fine, and the three of them did not ask any more questions. After thanking them, they turned around and walked towards the hotel. It was time for lunch. The hotel front desk had said that eating at the hotel was free. But they were not short of money, and the college would reimburse them, so of course they would not deliberately save money.

While waiting for the meal, Si Zhaohua, who had been thinking all the way, said: "Once the radicals' intentions are exposed, it will have a great impact on the reputation of Weixi Holy Land, otherwise Lin Qi would not help cover it up."

She could even speak directly about the internal conflicts in Weixi Holy Land, and she was very hostile to radicals. If it weren't for the fact that the radicals' actions would affect her own interests if exposed, Si Zhaohua believed that Lin Qi would tell them without hesitation.

"Indeed, it should be related to human life or nightmare beast." Feng Lan pointed out incisively.

There are only two key words that can affect the reputation of the Weixi Holy Land. Either the radicals secretly killed many people, or they secretly cooperated with the nightmare beast. Only these two major events can cause a precise blow to a huge monster like the Weixi Holy Land.

Si Zhaohua's brows wrinkled at first, but soon relaxed again, and he said firmly: "No matter what it is, we can't just sit back and do nothing."

If this happens in northern Jiangsu, the radicals can do whatever they want as long as it does not affect them.

But there are two members of the main character group here. Si Zhaohua is a passionate young man who will definitely investigate this matter personally. Although Feng Lan is usually indifferent to everything, Weixi Holy Land has cooperated with his family after all, so he must investigate it as well.

Although he knew it would not be very useful, he still couldn't help but persuade them: "Have you ever thought about why other people who got the news didn't come to investigate? Without evidence, your investigation would be unjustified."

Besides, everyone else was worried about getting into danger, and they knew it would be difficult to investigate the case alone. Only a comic book character would be so stupid as to get involved in such trouble.

"You're right." Si Zhaohua agreed.

Just when Su Bei thought he was about to come to his senses, the other party's next words broke his delusion: "For this kind of thing, we must first find evidence. We will first look for evidence."

Su Bei: "..."

He was dumbfounded, stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but complain: "You are possessed by Mo Xiaotian!"

Who did he learn this ability to understand words only in the way he wanted to understand them? Shouldn't normal people be able to understand that he was advising them not to investigate, rather than giving them suggestions for investigating?

This damn choking feeling made him see Mo Xiaotian for a moment. If Meng Huantian said this, Su Bei would think he was stupid. But when Si Zhaohua said this, people would think he did it on purpose.

When Si Zhaohua first heard the name Mo Xiaotian, he laughed out of habit. But then he remembered that Mo Xiaotian had become an undercover agent and put Zhou Renjie in danger, and he couldn't laugh anymore.

He pursed his lips and said, "The teacher said there is a way to deal with little... Mo Xiaotian. I don't know how he is doing now."

The topic jumped abruptly, but Su Bei could easily continue: "'Endless Ability Academy' has lost face and can't tolerate it for too long. If the method they used on Mo Xiaotian in advance was also poison, then the 'Black Flash' organization might have been in chaos."

If something happens to the leader's most beloved grandson, wouldn't it cause chaos in the world?

"Then do you think they will compromise for Mo Xiaotian?" Si Zhaohua asked thoughtfully. If they could make an exchange, and the "Black Flash" organization handed over Zhou Renjie's antidote, and the "Endless Power Academy" let Mo Xiaotian go, that would be a good choice.

Before Su Bei could answer, Feng Lan spoke first: "No. Our trip is necessary."

Apparently he had received some prophecies related to this trip in advance, so he knew that they could only save Zhou Renjie through this trip to the Weixi Holy Land.

His prediction was correct, this trip was indeed a must. After all, this is a comic book world, and if the protagonists don't take risks, how can it be called a comic book?

"Forget it, let's not worry about Mo Xiaotian's matter. The academy will make its own judgment." Si Zhaohua sighed, and his eyes returned to peace. "Let's talk about the Weixi Holy Land. I plan to investigate the conspiracy of the radicals. What about you?"

Feng Lan rarely got involved in this kind of thing: "I will investigate with you."

Again, his family had a partnership with the Weixi Holy Land, and now that something like this had happened within the partnership, he couldn't just ignore it. If the problem could be solved, then it would be better to solve it. If it couldn't be solved, he could make a decisive decision and quickly draw a clear line between his family and the Weixi Holy Land. This was what he should do as a family head.

"I'm responsible for supporting you mentally." Su Bei said shamelessly, with no intention of helping. This kind of thing is obviously very dangerous. The protagonists will be safe, but he may not be.

If he chooses not to participate and stays outside, Su Bei can either choose to help or escape, and the safety factor will be greatly increased, which is naturally his only choice.

Si Zhaohua and Feng Lan were not surprised by his answer. It would be strange if Su Bei could take the initiative to help. However, unlike Jiang Tianming and the others, Si Zhaohua and Feng Lan were relatively shy and had no intention of forcing Su Bei to participate.

Si Zhaohua nodded helplessly, and did not let Su Bei, who was not participating in the event, leave. He looked directly at Feng Lan: "Okay, Feng Lan, let's discuss what to do. Weixi Holy Land cannot let the family members come up to investigate. Everything has to rely on ourselves."

"I can go meet with the leader of Weixi Holy Land." Feng Lan sat at the dining table playing with his phone, "I can use the name of adjusting the cooperation to hint at something."

Hearing this, Si Zhaohua frowned. Feng Lan's reason was reasonable, but it was difficult to deal with afterwards. After all, since it was in the name of adjusting cooperation, there must be cooperation adjustment items during the negotiation.

The cooperation between the two forces must have been negotiated long ago and is very suitable in all aspects. How can it be easily changed? If he just uses the name and cannot explain the details after meeting the other party's leader, it will easily arouse suspicion.

After tapping the table with his index finger and thinking for a moment, Si Zhaohua spoke: "How about this, you go to see the leader in the name of introducing a partner, and say that my Si family wants to cooperate with Weixi Holy Land, and let you act as a bridge."
