Chapter 278
The principle of many resurrection props is to capture the soul when a person dies but the soul has not yet dissipated. Then the body is copied and the soul is installed in it, so that the human can be resurrected.
However, the powerful magnetic field of the Nightmare World can extract the resentment of the dead in the soul, thus turning into a Nightmare. The soul that has been extracted of resentment is no longer complete, and naturally cannot be resurrected through props.
The resurrection items in Su Bei's hand have this drawback. There are good items in the "Destiny" organization, but the more you use, the less you have. It's best not to use them if you can. So rather than relying on resurrection items to revive, he hopes that nothing will happen here.
"Teacher, do you have a prop that can teleport me directly back to the academy?" While everyone was lining up to go to the Nightmare World, Su Bei whispered to Lei Zeen at the end of the team.
Hearing this question, Lei Zeen raised his eyebrows. Meng Huai had told him about Su Bei and specifically told him to pay close attention to Su Bei and not let him suddenly disappear. If he suddenly disappeared, he should be alert immediately and it would be best to gather all the students in Class S together.
With such a warning, Su Bei's request at this time is very intriguing. Lei Zeen asked directly: "Did you predict anything through your supernatural powers?"
Su Bei thought about it and said without hiding it: "This exam will not be smooth sailing."
Lei Zeen was not surprised to hear his words. It would be a miracle if they could live in peace with so many new superpowers in the nightmare world. Just for this final exam, almost all the staff of the "Endless Superpower Academy" were mobilized, with all kinds of props and means, and he was there to assist, so the safety of the students should be guaranteed.
But looking at Su Bei's condition, the danger must have affected them, otherwise he would not have asked for security guarantees in advance.
"Can you see what the danger is or who is in charge?" Thinking of this, Lei Zeen frowned and asked immediately.
Su Bei shook his head. He was just making inferences based on the comic book routine. Besides, the destiny compasses on everyone's heads were in the normal position, so he couldn't tell what the problem was. But Su Bei was sure that this final exam would not go smoothly, otherwise he would be unworthy of Zhou Renjie's flag.
Hearing this, Lei Zeen sighed: "Okay, I get it, this is for you."
He took out a round piece of paper from the small bag he was carrying. There was a magic circle drawn on the paper, but because it was so small, it looked a little cute.
After Su Bei took the paper, he introduced: "This is a self-made teleportation tool. You can return to the academy immediately after tearing up the paper. But if there is a seal around, the tool may fail."
This is also the reason why he must follow the team in person. Props and other things may be restrained, but as a superpower with the power of [Teleportation], there are very few things that can restrain him. Having him around is safer than any props.
"Do you think I need to prepare a piece of paper for everyone else in the class?" Lei Zeen asked hesitantly. The piece of paper he just gave to Su Bei was just a casual one, and there was only one piece in total. If he wanted to make another one for someone else in Class S, it would take a lot of time and mental energy, so he was so hesitant.
"No need." Su Bei stopped him decisively.
What a joke! If everyone in Class S has this item, it will be useless! The author will definitely ban this item. It can only play its due role when very few people have it.
Although he may not need it, he just wants a safety guarantee in advance. But since it is a safety guarantee, it must be effective. Once everyone has it, it will no longer be a guarantee.
Facing Lei Zeen's puzzled look, Su Bei coughed with a guilty conscience: "It's useless for them to take it."
Although this statement was made with selfish motives, it was logically correct. Jiang Tianming and the others would definitely be affected no matter what, so it would be useless whether or not they had this thing.
He only said this, but refused to explain why the others had no use for it. Although Lei Zeen didn't know why Su Beisan was so silent, he thought he was not lying, so he stopped asking.
He looked worriedly at the team that was slowly lining up to enter the Nightmare World, sighed silently, and said to the squad leader, Mu Tieren, who was walking over, "I'm going to go find the principal and explain the situation first. After you go in, don't walk around randomly. Follow the team. I'll come find you in a while."
Mu Tieren nodded seriously: "I understand, teacher. I will keep an eye on you all."
As the only monitor in the class who was not prone to causing trouble, Mu Tieren's promise was obviously more convincing than others. Lei Zeen patted his shoulder with satisfaction, then turned and left.
As soon as he left, Qi Huang came up to him curiously and asked, "What did you just say to the teacher?"
She saw clearly that it was Su Bei and Lei Zeen who said something at the end of the team that made Lei Zeen suddenly decide to go to the principal. And the matter that made him go to the principal must be no small matter.
"I said this exam won't be peaceful." Su Bei replied lazily, "Are you ready for the Nightmare World Battle Royale, friends?"
Either the Black Flash organization is causing trouble, or Nightmare is causing trouble on its own. But no matter which one it is, the protagonists will definitely be hunted down, so it's okay for him to say it's a battle royale.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's attention was immediately drawn to him. Battle Royale sounded very dangerous. However, when they wanted to ask more questions, Su Bei refused to answer.
Only Feng Lan didn't ask anything. After looking at him, she used her power to predict the future. After a while, Feng Lan opened her eyes again, and her face had turned ugly.
It is worth mentioning that if he wants to use [Prophecy] now, if he just wants to get a rough result, it is much more convenient than before. He no longer needs to sit in meditation with his eyes closed, but only needs to consume mental energy, and something similar to a premonition will quickly arise in his mind. However, if he wants to get a specific picture result, it is still very troublesome.
Seeing his ugly expression, Jiang Tianming frowned and asked, "Is it dangerous?"
"It's very dangerous." Feng Lan nodded affirmatively. At that moment he felt a strong sense of crisis.
Hearing him say this, Zhao Xiaoyu immediately became nervous: "Then let's quickly talk to the teacher to see if we can stop this competition. It's so dangerous. What if something really goes wrong?"
Of course, what she was mainly worried about was her own safety. Zhao Xiaoyu didn't want to die inexplicably in an exam.
Jiang Tianming shook his head rationally, but he didn't want to continue taking risks: "Let's wait for Teacher Lei to come back and see what he says. After knowing Su Bei's prediction, Teacher Lei should persuade the college to stop going ahead with the final exams."
Su Bei did not stop them from trying. But he knew in his heart that the school would not stop the final exam, otherwise the author would have no reason to draw.
Not long after, Lei Zeen came back. Compared to the worry he showed when he left, his expression was much better now. Seeing everyone looking at him, he knew that they must have known Su Bei's prophecy, and smiled and comforted them: "Don't worry, everyone. This time the academy has invited the strongest defense-type esper. As long as you don't leave the examination venue, there will be absolutely no danger."
After hearing this, Jiang Tianming and others were still confused, but Su Bei and others who had a deep understanding of the supernatural world had already guessed who he was talking about.
Ai Baozhu widened her eyes slightly: "Teacher, are you talking about Ms. Yulia?"
"That's her." Lei Zeen nodded with a smile, "The academy has really invested a lot this time. Now you can rest assured, right?"
"I feel relieved, I feel relieved!" Ai Baozhu covered her chest with her hands, her eyes full of excitement, "Can I see Ms. Yulia in person? It would be even better if I could get her autograph!"
As a defensive psychic, Ai Baozhu has great respect for the world's strongest defensive psychic and is a complete fan of him.
Not only her, Zhou Renjie, who also has defensive abilities, was also very excited. Although Si Zhaohua, Qi Huang, and Feng Lan were not as excited as them, they were also quite surprised.
Lei Zeen could fully understand her excitement, but he shrugged helplessly: "I don't know either. I just found out that Ms. Yulian was invited here."
"Who is Ms. Yulia you are talking about?" Zhao Xiaoyu asked while taking out his mobile phone to search on the official website of the Psychic.
Ai Baozhu and You Rongyan introduced her as follows: "She is a defensive psychic, and her psychic power is [Death Cemetery]. This psychic power has appeared several times in history, and other owners have used it as a special type and as a means of attack. Only Yulia! She has created a new way to use [Death Cemetery]. As long as you die within the range of the cemetery, you can consume your mental power to be resurrected infinitely! It is the strongest defensive psychic power today!"
Yes, this is why Yulia can become the strongest defensive esper. It must be said that her development of esper is indeed ingenious. Anyone who hears about the esper of [Death Cemetery] will probably think that this is a special esper used for attack, just like Jiang Tianming's [Death Summoning].
But Yulia didn't play by the rules and developed her superpowers in a defensive direction. As a result, her superpowers were used to their greatest advantage. As long as her mental power was not exhausted, people who died within the range of her superpowers could be resurrected forever.
So far, Yulia's [Death Cemetery] covers an area as large as a city. And there is no doubt that she is a high-level spiritual power owner.
One of the most famous stories about Yulia is that she once protected the residents of an entire city, allowing them to survive and hold out until reinforcements arrived when they were invaded by Nightmare Beasts and isolated and helpless.
The reason why Su Bei knows her so well is that there is an undisclosed information about Yulia in the database of the "Destiny" organization, that is, her ability can also resurrect herself, but if her exclusive cemetery is destroyed before she is resurrected, Yulia can die completely.
Because superpowers are related to resurrection, he paid special attention to it.
After learning that the "Infinite Power Academy" had invited Yulia, Feng Lan did not feel relieved, but frowned even more tightly: "If she is here, then why can I still sense danger?"
Everyone who asked this question was stunned. Indeed, with such a powerful defensive psychic escort, how could Feng Lan predict the danger?
Suddenly remembering something, Lei Zeen asked: "Is the danger you predicted a danger that everyone who comes to the Nightmare World will face, or is it a danger that only you will face?"
"Yes, there should be danger that I will face." Between the two options, Feng Lan gave a third answer, "I didn't predict what would happen to others, but I saw a dangerous scene."
"Then can you use [Prophecy] completely now?" Lei Zeen asked. As a teacher, he also knew something about Feng Lan's supernatural powers.
However, Feng Lan shook her head and rejected the proposal: "No, this matter involves me."
He paused, then walked a few steps forward along with the team. After the team came to a standstill, he continued to explain: "If I want to change my future, I can't predict too deeply."
It is easy for those in power to be misled by prophecy, especially since his special ability is [prophecy]. He must be extra careful when it comes to his own prophecy, otherwise he will fall into the vortex of fate if he is not careful.
If he doesn't continue to use the prophecy now, he only needs to take a leave and not take the final exam, and he will most likely be able to avoid the danger he just sensed. But if he continues to delve deeper into the prophecy, it is very likely that even if he takes a leave, there will be great danger, and the content of the prophecy will eventually come true.
After hearing what he said, Lei Zeen was worthy of being a teacher. While others were still confused, he sighed and nodded: "I understand."
He understood what Feng Lan meant. It was not that the other party could not continue to [prophesy], but for his own safety, it was not good to continue to use the supernatural power. In this case, he naturally would not force Feng Lan, but asked considerately: "Do you want to take a leave now? If only one or two people ask for leave, I think the academy will not refuse."
He already knew the academy's intention to hold the final exams in the Nightmare World and even invited the defense master Yulia for this purpose. Therefore, he knew very well that the academy would never suspend the plan easily.
But other people couldn't ask for leave, but Feng Lan had no problem. His ability couldn't possibly achieve the goal no matter how hard he tried, so it was no problem for him to ask for leave.
"...Yes." After hesitating for a long time, Feng Lan finally nodded and chose to give up the final exam. He had to be responsible for himself and his family. A gentleman would not stand under a dangerous wall. If he knew that it was dangerous to himself, a qualified prophet would never take the risk himself. This was the first thing the Feng family taught him.
Lei Zeen was not surprised by his choice and turned around to help him apply for leave. On the way, he was still thinking about what Feng Lan had just said. He said that he only had a premonition that he would be in danger.
This statement represents two possibilities. Either he is the only one in danger, or others are also in danger. The second possibility can lead to two possibilities. The first possibility is that even Yulia can't stand the danger, and the second possibility is that some students ran out of Yulia's defense range and encountered danger.
If he was leading someone else, Lei Zeen wouldn't have thought so. But he happened to be leading this year's first-grade class S. As a close friend of their class teacher, he knew the nature of this group of guys too well.
Therefore, as soon as he came back, Lei Zeen sternly warned everyone who was about to enter the Nightmare World: "You are not allowed to leave the [Death Cemetery] during the entire exam. If there is any place you must go out, you must tell the teacher. Do you understand?"
Everyone nodded in agreement obediently, doing a very good job of pretending to be nice.
Entering the nightmare world, since it was not the first time for everyone present, it would not be such a shock. In addition, they were mentally prepared, so there were no problems, but everyone's mood suddenly became bad. However, before entering, they were all in a bad mood, so it seemed no different.
The place they were teleported to was a base established by the "Infinite Power Academy" in the Nightmare World. It is conceivable how difficult it is to build a safe zone here. Only large forces with many members like the academy and the government have this ability.
The students lined up in the open space in the safety zone according to the previous queue. The Dean of Studies held the microphone and said, "The requirements and content of this exam will be distributed now. After receiving the rule sheet, please line up in the area of the corresponding color, and then follow the leading teacher to take the exam."
The teacher in charge used his supernatural power to distribute the rules paper to each student one by one according to the names on it. Su Bei took the floating red paper in front of him, which contained the examination rules for the special department.
He walked towards the red area while reading the rules on the paper. The content of the special department exam was very simple, destroying 100 nightmare beasts, regardless of their strength, and finally collecting all their blood.
Nightmare blood is a very useless thing. It cannot be eaten and is even poisonous. Except for some individual psychics who may need it, the rest of the psychics throw away nightmare blood as waste.
When the "Collect Nightmare Blood" section reached the red area, most people had already read the rules and started discussing them.
Ling You and Ai Baozhu came with Su Bei, both of them were confused. Ai Baozhu couldn't help but said, "No, this test question is really not aimed at me?"
As a defense-type psychic, it would be difficult for her to kill a hundred nightmare beasts, let alone collect their blood.
If it were in the real world, killing 100 low-level nightmare beasts would be easy. Even if Abaozhu's supernatural power is not suitable for attacking her, she is a genuine S-class student. Her physical skills alone are enough to easily fight against low-level nightmare beasts.
But this is the world of nightmare beasts, and the strength of nightmare beasts is much higher than in reality. In addition, if too many low-level nightmare beasts are destroyed, there will definitely be mid-level or even high-level nightmare beasts coming to check, so destroying 100 nightmare beasts is already a very difficult task for her.
Seeing her gloomy look, Su Bei looked at the examination rules again, then raised his head: "The rules do not prohibit candidates from helping each other."
After these words came out, not to mention Ai Baozhu, even Ling You couldn't help but widen her eyes. Her light purple eyes were full of doubts, and they met Su Bei's dark purple eyes with a smile, as if silently asking "Is it still possible?"
Ai Baozhu didn't have so many concerns. After a brief shock, her eyes lit up: "You are right! The academy doesn't forbid us to help each other!"
In the conventional understanding, the final exam is of course for each student to take their own exam, and helping each other is called cheating. But this exam specifically gave rules, and since the rules did not say that they could not help each other, they could completely understand that they could help each other.
If the college finds out and criticizes them, it doesn't matter. This is the college's mistake. The worst that can happen is that they will be asked to retake the exam. They shouldn't be directly judged as having no grades.
Ai Baozhu is not afraid if she has someone helping her. Whether it is Ling You or Su Bei, it is easy to destroy the nightmare beast. Ai Baozhu can just follow them and win.
"But how do we collect the blood?" Ling You calmly asked the question after suppressing his shock.
They had learned the skill of bleeding nightmare beasts. After all, nightmare beast blood was poisonous. If they wanted to eat nightmare beast meat in the wild, bleeding was an essential process. The academy had a special class to teach them this knowledge of survival in the alien space. Even the most clean-freak Ai Baozhu could bleed smoothly with gloves.
But bleeding one or two nightmare beasts is completely different from bleeding a hundred nightmare beasts. Anyone can do the former, but the latter makes their scalps tingle just thinking about it.
Ai Baozhu crossed her arms over her chest, her eyes full of disdain: "Anyway, I won't drain the blood of a hundred nightmare beasts one by one. If there is no other good way, I would rather give up this exam."
Although the Ai family pays great attention to their children's academic performance, they are not completely unkind. They value the effect more than just the old-fashioned requirement of good grades for their children. Ai Baozhu is sure that her parents will find the questions of this final exam incomprehensible.
This was a strange task that did not help her improve herself, and she had stepped on the minefield of Abaozhu's cleanliness. Even if she gave up the exam, she would be criticized for two days at most, and it would not be a big problem.
But despite saying this, she still looked very anxious. Given the national situation in our country, entrance exams are a big deal, and if you can pass the exam smoothly and know that you will get good grades, no one would want to give up the exam.
"Think about the container first." Su Bei didn't have a particularly good method for the time being. He was very clean and neat in bleeding. He used the gear to cut the several major arteries on the nightmare beasts, and he could quickly drain the blood. But there were a hundred nightmare beasts, how long would it take!
As for the container, everyone fell into deep thought. The test required that the person hand in evidence of having destroyed a hundred nightmare beasts and bled them all in the last breath.
It was not difficult to prove that they had killed a hundred nightmare beasts, but the best way to prove that they had bled them all was to bring blood with them. The container that could hold the blood of a hundred nightmare beasts in one breath must be very large, and none of them had the habit of carrying a large container. Moreover, the rules clearly required that evidence be brought with them, so asking companions or psychics with lie detection skills to help testify was not feasible, and the scene was deadlocked for a while.
"It would be great if there was a way to compress the blood." Ai Baozhu sighed and couldn't help but say something fanciful, "Then we can compress all the blood into a small piece and let the academy test the composition itself."
Her idea was indeed feasible. Although the three of them did not have relevant superpowers, it was very likely that someone present had them.
However, Su Bei thought of another thing through her words. He seemed to understand the meaning of this exam question. The "Infinite Power Academy" really took great pains to destroy all the meteorite fragments.
