Chapter 274

At this time, a team of fully armed psychics came outside and headed straight towards their room from the stairs.

"Oh no, it's because of him!" Jiang Tianming reacted very quickly and looked down at the dead man. He had already realized that the reason this group of people came was probably because they sensed that the man died from leaking secrets.

They really didn't expect that if the man leaked the secret, he would not only die, but also expose their location. If they had known earlier, they would never have interrogated him in their room.

The traps that followed one after another were really unexpected. People really lacked vigilance against supernatural means. However, it was too late to say anything now. The most important thing was to figure out a way to avoid being caught.

They can't be caught by the people of Weixi Holy Land now, otherwise it will be a problem whether they can leave the island alive. Si Zhaohua immediately took out a blank scroll from the storage space: "This is the 'ancient painting space', which can hide us all, but if we want to get out, someone needs to tear up the scroll outside."

"Give it to me." Su Bei held an invisibility charm between his fingers, "Where do you want to come out from?"

"A safe place is best, with no surveillance around." Jiang Tianming answered immediately. Everyone recognized the effectiveness of his invisibility charm, so they naturally had no objection to him taking the initiative to ask for help. They also felt more at ease with the scroll in Su Bei's hands.

But there is still one question, Lan Subing asked anxiously: "What about Ai Baozhu?"

She must have gone in to take a shower just now, and now the shampoo might have all got on her head, so it would be impossible for her to come out quickly.

"What can I do? You can just wrap her in a towel and stuff her in." Su Bei shrugged, thought for a moment, and handed Lan Subing an invisibility charm, "Or you can let her use this and then go in."

There was no other way. Everyone entered the "ancient painting space" first, then Lan Subing entered the bathroom and dragged Ai Baozhu in without saying anything. Su Bei walked into the bathroom last, picked up the scroll, and cast an invisibility charm on himself.

After doing all this, the door of the room was kicked open.

"Search quickly! The location is right here!" the captain shouted, and walked into the room first. The door was opened, and a small team of people rushed in and began to search everywhere.

The body in the living room was naturally the first to be discovered. The guards also knew the identity of the deceased. It was the guy who exploded and died due to leaking secrets, and thus gave them the location information.

"Report! There are water stains in the bathroom. The enemy must have just left." The person who broke into the bathroom shouted.

Everyone rushed into the bathroom again and found that it was indeed the case. The traces of Ai Baozhu bathing were too obvious, and the temperature and steam in the bathroom showed that she had been gone for a short time.

"Two of you stay here, and go back to check the identities of the tourists in this room. The rest of you, follow me out to chase them!" After saying that, he immediately opened the door and walked out.

Su Bei took the opportunity to follow a few people, slipped out of the room, and went all the way to the library.

The library is of course monitored, but the restroom is not. And most importantly, there is a window behind the restroom that leads directly to a small path that is also not monitored.

This was discovered by Su Bei when he was studying here two days ago. His main purpose of coming to the library was to use it as a safe house. Acquiring new knowledge was secondary, so he naturally focused on the useful paths in the library.

Bringing them here is the utmost that Su Bei has done. As for how they will complete their mission and continue their investigation after they leave, that is their business.

He did not even remove his invisibility when he tore up the scroll. When he saw the people coming out of the painting intact, he left. As for where he would go after leaving, he would go to the "Holy Spirit Banyan Tree" that he had already decided on.

It was impossible to go back. Although it was only Abaozhu's room, they were all together. With the others gone, he couldn't stay out of it without being suspected. Going back would be a trap.

As a project only for VIPs, there were still few tourists at the "Holy Spirit Banyan Tree" today. Two or three kittens were sitting under the tree, acting as green light bulbs.

Su Bei did not disturb them, and jumped onto the tree as nimbly as a cat without making any sound. He burrowed into the leaves, found a suitable position, and began to exercise his mental strength.

Although the "Holy Spirit Banyan Tree" is a one-time item, it will not be able to improve your spiritual power to the greatest extent after absorbing it once. But that does not prevent this from being a Feng Shui treasure land for cultivating spiritual power. It just so happens that Su Bei has not yet absorbed the improvement he got before, so it is good to take advantage of this period of time to absorb it here.

Su Bei slept on a tree that night. Sure enough, no one checked here all day. Starting from dinner time, he could clearly feel the tight security outside. Teams of guards patrolled with lanterns. Those lanterns should be supernatural creations, and they were extremely bright.

And according to his observation, there is a certain perspective effect. Fortunately, the "Holy Spirit Banyan Tree" is dense enough and has certain abilities, so Su Bei was not discovered.

But overall, the protagonists didn't do anything after they separated today. They are probably still investigating. If their investigation goes smoothly, maybe the Weixi Holy Land will be in chaos tomorrow.

It's good to be in chaos. If there's no chaos, how can they take the opportunity to escape?

If they want to leave now, they have to make tourists on the island feel unsafe. When tourists leave in large numbers, it will be a good opportunity for them to take advantage of the situation.

Of course Su Bei knew very well that Jiang Tianming and the others would definitely not leave now. If they didn't investigate the matter thoroughly, they would not be called the protagonist group.

But they don't want to leave. Su Bei wants to leave! Whoever wants to stay in such a dangerous place can stay, but he doesn't want to stay. In theory, he can wait for the protagonists to finish their work and leave with them, but Su Bei is really worried.

He never doubted the destructive power of the protagonists. In a closed and isolated environment like the Weixi Holy Land, if they really fully exerted their destructive power, Su Bei really doubted that he would not be able to escape in the end.

Rather than experiencing a wave of danger at that time, it would be better for him to leave quickly when it is not dangerous.

But in the final analysis, whether he can leave or not depends on Jiang Tianming and his team's actions. Su Bei sighed slightly. This is the disadvantage of not actively participating in the plot. As a bystander, he cannot influence many plots. However, there is always a gain for every loss. In order to save trouble and for his own safety, Su Bei does not mind accepting this disadvantage.

Lying on the tree, he began to think about the message revealed by the man who exploded and died before his death - they were "creating gods".

First of all, this word is very "cartoon", so Su Bei didn't suspect at all that he had misheard.

It is known that the deceased was a radical, so there are two possibilities. Either the "deification" plan is a plan of the radicals, or it is a common plan of the Weixi Holy Land, but the radicals and conservatives have different ideas about implementation.

Of these two speculations, Su Bei is more inclined to the latter. "Creating a god" is a plan that sounds grand. If the two factions have different plans, then the conservatives' plan must be at least as grand as "creating a god" in order to be evenly matched.

But this is not an easy task. It is difficult to come up with another grand plan, and it is not easy to strike a balance. Given the laziness of the author of "Superpower King", Su Bei thinks he will not be so troublesome. After all, the final effects of the two speculations are similar. Under the condition that it does not affect the overall direction of the plot, it is better to choose the easier one.

And according to his previous findings, radicals and conservatives have something in common that makes them only appear to be at loggerheads on the surface, but in reality they work together to exclude the moderates.

And if this common thing is their goal of "creating gods", then everything makes more sense. The neutrals are excluded because they don't want to create gods.

Following this idea, there are currently two known actions taken by the Weixi Holy Land to implement the "Creating God" plan. One is their physical strength that is constantly decreasing on the island, and the other is the nightmare beast that appeared on the island.

What do these two have to do with "creating gods"?

As he thought about it, Su Bei's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he slowly fell asleep.

The second day, the outside was still under a state of martial law, and it seemed to be stricter than the first day. In addition to the guards who were constantly patrolling, Su Bei could see that the number of guards outside the "Holy Spirit Banyan Tree" project was twice as many as before.

However, the tourists continued to complete the project, and it was obvious that the Weixi Sanctuary did not want to leak this matter. This is true. If the tourists knew that there was an escaped murderer on the island, they would probably ask to leave immediately, and the situation would be out of control.

On the tree, Su Bei listened to the discussion of the tourists below. These tourists were not fools, how could they not see the changes in the Weixi Holy Land?

"What do you think these thieves stole that caused the Weixi Holy Land to be so strict?" the short-haired girl asked curiously, "I asked the customer service before, but the customer service was just practicing Tai Chi with me and didn't reveal any information."

Sanqifen beside him was also very curious, but more covetous: "It must be some very important treasure. There are so many treasures in the Holy Land of Weixi. If they value it so much, it must be worth a fortune. If we can catch the thief first..."

It would be best if you could get the treasure directly from the thief, but if not, handing the thief over in exchange for a reward would also be good.

The man in the flowered shirt sneered: "You really believe he's a thief."

"What do you mean?" The other two looked at him suspiciously. In fact, they also had some doubts in their hearts that he was not a thief. After all, if he was just a thief, would he need to make such a big fuss?

Seeing them all looking over, Hua Shirt felt a little proud. He is not a real "distinguished guest", he is just an ordinary person with special abilities who purchased the right to use the distinguished guest status once.

The permanent VIP status can be sublet and lent to others, but it can only be lent five times a year, and the VIP status you rent needs to pay an additional fee when you go to the island.

Flowered Shirt is just one of those ordinary people who saved money for many years and finally bought a VIP spot to go to the island for three days. Now that he is being looked at by those VIPs who are probably really rich and powerful with such inquiring eyes, he is secretly very happy.

He coughed twice deliberately to make himself look more serious. "You think, if someone stole something, they should search every house in the Holy Land of Weixi. But their current actions are obviously to guard against something. To prevent the thief from stealing again, they should only strengthen the guards near the warehouse, not everywhere."

This statement indeed made sense, and everyone looked thoughtful.

"Could it be that some bad guys have sneaked into the island?" The short-haired girl suddenly had an idea. "If it's true, he must be a very powerful character to make the Weixi Holy Land so cautious. Should we get off the island as soon as possible?"

Good question! Su Bei raised his lips on the tree, revealing an expectant look. Let's spread this idea to more people and start a wave of people leaving the island, so that he can have a chance to join us!

Unfortunately, the flowered shirt shattered Su Bei's fantasy. He didn't want the three-day tour he had spent a lot of money on to end just after one day. He knew without a doubt that the seller would not refund his money.

So he immediately started to persuade them, and with his eloquent words, he quickly dissuaded Rice Cooker and his companion from leaving the island. Of course, the main reason why he was able to persuade them so smoothly was because the two of them didn't really want to leave the island in the first place.

Firstly, they still believed in the strength of the Weixi Holy Land. Secondly, leaving the island at this time would easily offend the Weixi Holy Land. There was no need for them not to offend a big force.

Seeing that they had agreed, Su Bei immediately showed a look of disappointment. How could he not feel bad for missing the chance to leave early?

The next morning was quiet, but Su Bei did not let his guard down. On the contrary, the quieter it was, the more he suspected the protagonists were up to something big.

Sure enough, just as the afternoon arrived, he heard a loud bang and the Weixi City Government Building in the distance collapsed.

Sitting on the tree branch, Su Bei could clearly see the dust rising in the distance through the lush branches and leaves. It seemed that there was a problem with the foundation. The government building collapsed from the bottom up, so it did not affect other places.

It seemed that Wu Mingbai had made the move, and Su Bei understood immediately. Since the matter had become so serious all of a sudden, it looked like it would be over by tomorrow at the latest.

After the government building collapsed, the "Holy Spirit Banyan Tree" where Su Bei was located was suddenly deserted. Of course, not only here, but everywhere around was deserted. The guards had also left, so they could only go to the government building to help.

As expected of the protagonists, they are efficient. I don't know what they found out. To be honest, Su Bei is actually quite curious about the so-called "God-making" plan.

Soon a fight broke out outside. Jiang Tianming and his men had blown up the government building. If they couldn't be found, they would be the waste of the Weixi Holy Land.

In this kind of head-on fight, it is difficult for Jiang Tianming and his companions to gain an advantage. After all, they are still young, and although they can take first place when facing peers, it is difficult for them to resist those powerful supernatural beings.

But it didn't take long for Su Bei to discover that it wasn't just Jiang Tianming and the indigenous people who were fighting. There was also a group of indigenous people fighting with each other. They must be the neutrals.

Maybe the author thought the island wasn't chaotic enough, and after a while, the nightmare beasts also appeared. Su Bei sat high up and had a far view, and could see the situation very clearly. At first, those nightmare beasts only targeted Jiang Tianming and the neutral faction, but then they began to attack indiscriminately.

This was within Su Bei's expectations. How could the Nightmare Beast really cooperate with humans? It was just trying to get the skin of a tiger. Once it found that it could make a profit, the Nightmare Beast would easily tear up the contract.

In a sense, the Weixi Holy Land is a place of strategic importance. As a meteorite landing point, many things on the island are not only useful to humans, but also to nightmare beasts.

If this place can be occupied by nightmare beasts, even for just a few weeks, it can improve their overall strength by one level. After all, they don't need to limit the use of resources in order to prevent the resources of Weixi Island from being exhausted like the humans in Weixi Holy Land. They just need to cram nightmare beasts in to improve themselves.

This is the real world after all, and the psychics will not allow the nightmare beasts to occupy Visi Island for too long. Naturally, they will use up the resources as quickly as possible, and destroy them all if they cannot be used up.

The humans who cooperated with the Nightmare Beasts in the Weixi Holy Land obviously did not expect them to turn against them, and were caught off guard. What they did not expect was that these Nightmare Beasts had led a large number of Nightmare Beasts to the island at some point, and suddenly became the most powerful party.

Now, there is no longer any conflict between conservatives, radicals, or neutrals. It has all turned into a conflict between humans and nightmare beasts. Everyone finally united and cooperated to fight against the nightmare beasts.

After all, the protagonists were in northern Jiangsu, so he didn't worry about their victory or defeat. The answer could only be doomed. He stayed on the tree happily, waiting for the crisis to end. When the time came to go out, he could still pretend that he had not been slacking off and was also destroying the nightmare beast. Anyway, there was no one to testify, so he could say whatever he wanted.

Just when the situation was turning around and everyone was cooperating, the Nightmare Beasts were defeated step by step and there was about to be light at the end of the tunnel, but a stronger Nightmare Beast appeared.

This turtle nightmare beast is as tall as a small mountain. The largest animal on land, the elephant, is just a child in front of it. Even though Subei is far away, you can still feel its hugeness.

The strength of the Turtle Nightmare Beast is proportional to its size. The attacks from the crowd are like tickling on its body, and cannot cause any damage at all.

This was also to be expected. Turtle-type nightmare beasts were known for their defensive abilities, not to mention this one was so large that only attacks of the same size could cause some damage to it. However, the people present were clearly unable to do this.

The Holy Land of Weixi finally realized the seriousness of the situation and wanted to seek help from the outside world without caring about maintaining its reputation. However, the place where the Turtle Nightmare Beast was lying was exactly the church where the teleportation array was located. Without the teleportation array, outsiders could not enter the Holy Land of Weixi at all, and support would definitely not come.

There is no doubt that it is up to the protagonists to turn the tide at this time.

Su Bei was too lazy to watch, anyway, everything could be seen in the comics in the end. He yawned loudly and changed his position on the tree. This time the yawning lasted a long time, starting in the afternoon, and now it was already dark.

According to his experience of reading comics, this giant turtle should be the last difficulty of this incident. As long as it is defeated, the danger will end. And if he guessed correctly, according to the routine of general comics, the time to defeat the turtle must be at dawn.

The comics of this era all follow the same formula. Although the plots vary, the rhythm is always the same. It is precisely because of these judgments that Su Bei can always be foresighted.

Since the battle would end at dawn, and it was now eleven o'clock at night, the sun would rise at five o'clock, which meant he could still sleep for about five hours.

It is necessary to get enough sleep. Su Bei set an alarm for himself and then fell asleep on the tree. Before falling asleep, he felt happy, thinking that he had been slacking off during this incident and could sleep while others were fighting. He was really happy like a god.

However, he obviously underestimated the destructive power of the plot, or he forgot about it. While sleeping, Su Bei suddenly felt a violent shaking. In such a dangerous place, he was a light sleeper, and Su Bei opened his eyes when he was shaken. Then he found that the "Holy Spirit Banyan Tree" was indeed shaking.

And it wasn't just the Holy Spirit Banyan Tree that was shaking, the entire Weixi Holy Land was shaking. The surrounding buildings were crumbling, and rubble and bricks were falling from above from time to time. The scene looked familiar. It was the same when the underground world was shaken before.

But the feeling he had here was probably more than just an earthquake. An earthquake was just a violent shaking of the earth, and the current situation was that the entire Weixi Holy Land was shaking on one side and tilting to the other side. It might not be long before it would be completely overturned and sink to the bottom of the sea.

Don't forget that the sea area near here is the "Forbidden Sea", which was originally an excellent natural defense, but now it has become a perfect burial place for them. Once the island completely turns over, they will definitely die without a burial place if they fall into the seabed.

Su Bei quickly turned around and looked in the direction of the Nightmare Turtle. The black turtle that had been dominating the island had disappeared. This was not good news. Seeing the body of the black turtle was good news. The disappearance of the black turtle could only mean that it was causing trouble somewhere else.

He looked at the sky and saw that it was just getting light. He guessed that the incident would end. At the end of the incident, there was an earthquake on the island, so the last plot must be that they were trying to escape from the island.

Su Bei understood and immediately jumped down from the tree to look for the protagonists. If he were to act alone at this time, he might be killed by the author. It would be safer to follow the protagonists. If anyone could find a way to escape the island, it would be the protagonists.

During an earthquake, most people would choose to stay safe on the empty ground. However, since they wanted to leave the Weixi Holy Land rather than sink with the island, Su Bei went straight to the church. Since the turtle disappeared, the teleportation array should be usable again.

When they arrived at the entrance of the teleportation array, they saw a large group of people. Jiang Tianming and others were among them, and even stood at the head of the group because of their outstanding performance before.

After finally seeing them, Su Bei's heart sank. The expressions of these people were not good, and it seemed that there was a problem with the transmission array.

"Su Bei" Feng Lan saw Su Bei rushing over with his sharp eyes. His golden hair was very eye-catching at any time. Hearing his words, the others also looked over in surprise.
