Chapter 291
He was right. The second match on the second day was between the "Endless School of Supernatural Powers" and the "Sky School of Supernatural Powers". Their country was lucky that the two teams met on the last day. Some unlucky countries met in the fourth match, and their own team eliminated their own team. It was so helpless.
In this match against Huangfu Mingzhe, Si Zhaohua finally got the chance to play. Undoubtedly, after a series of exciting battles, Si Zhaohua won.
Su Bei was in no mood to watch this match that was cheered by the audience. He had something on his mind. Why hasn't the comic been updated yet? Could it be that they have to wait until something happens to Mu Yunfan and the others?
But when will they get into trouble?
Speak of the devil, and he will appear. At noon, Su Bei came to the hotel restaurant and saw something interesting at first glance. He has now developed the habit of turning on his supernatural power to take a look at everything no matter where he goes. So he saw the abnormal destiny compass of Mu Yunfan and others at first glance.
All of them have their thumbs pointing to the "sick" level and their thumbs are also very far to the right.
"What did you do together just now?" After looking around, Su Bei asked directly.
Just now he took a quick look and saw several seniors sitting around a round table eating. The hotel provided a buffet, and everyone took a plate with a variety of dishes. Su Bei didn't see any dishes that were common to everyone, so he asked this question.
This question was inexplicable. Several people looked at each other in confusion. Feng Manman was the first to answer: "What do you mean? We just came in to choose dishes. We didn't do anything special."
Without any special actions, the selection of food could not have caused the "illness" fate of these people. So we still have to start with the food.
But there shouldn't be any problem with the food. You know, everyone has to eat this food, and "Saint Dante's School of Supernatural Powers" can't possibly treat everyone equally and let something happen to them together.
Their method can only affect Mu Yunfan and others. If too many contestants are affected, the second game will most likely be postponed directly, and then they will lose more than they gain.
It is known that the "Saint Dante School of Supernatural Powers" wants to attack the "Endless School of Supernatural Powers", but if you think about it, you will know that they will definitely not rely on supernatural powers. Using supernatural powers to harm people in a place where supernatural masters gather is no different from waving a sword in front of Guan Gong.
Only the most simple methods can deceive the public. After all, the supernatural world has always looked down upon the methods of ordinary people.
But it is true that ordinary people can only poison someone, but what kind of poison can withstand the power of the healing ability? With just one skill, the body can be restored to its original state immediately.
The people at "Saint Dante's School of Supernatural Powers" cannot possibly be unaware of this, so their methods will definitely be unexpected.
After thinking for a while, Su Bei asked: "Do you feel any problem when you eat?"
This was the second inexplicable question he had asked. Mu Yunfan and the others were not fools, and their expressions gradually became serious. Feng Manman frowned and asked, "Did you discover something?"
Mu Yunfan was more direct, rarely frivolous. As the captain, he needed to be responsible for every member of the team: "I heard that you can see other people's fate."
Now that things have come to this, Su Bei has nothing to hide. What was supposed to happen has already happened, and fate will not change just because they know: "All of you have health problems."
Jiang Tianming and others following behind Su Bei suddenly widened their eyes when they heard this. There were a total of 15 contestants from the "Endless Ability Academy" this time. Except for Jiang Tianming and his six companions, all the others were here.
If something happens to them, what will happen to tomorrow's game? Will they be forced to wait for the competition?
"Manman, you check everyone. I'll go find Teacher Li." Mu Yunfan did not question what Su Bei said. He immediately stood up, made some arrangements, and then went to the side to make a phone call.
As the only healing psychic present, Feng Manman immediately began to use her psychic powers to examine everyone. As her expression became more and more serious, everyone knew that Su Bei was right, and there was indeed something wrong with their bodies.
"My head..." Before Feng Manman could say anything, the youngest girl, Lori, started to react to the poisoning. She covered her head with one hand, her face wrinkled, and she looked a little painful.
Feng walked over quickly and used his healing powers to heal her body: "Are you still feeling uncomfortable now?"
"Uncomfortable." Luo Li nodded, her face pale, and then her hands changed from covering her head to covering her stomach, "My stomach is starting to hurt too!"
She just felt uncomfortable all over her body, with dizziness and stomach pain. It felt like her period, but the pain was much worse than her period.
Finally, everything went dark and Lori passed out.
Feng Manman, who was beside her, caught her in time, picked her up like a princess, and said sharply, "Go to the infirmary!"
"You guys go, I'll stay here and watch the scene." Mu Yunfan said seriously, someone must stay here and tell the organizer what happened. Otherwise, if the person who poisoned destroyed the evidence while they were away, it would be troublesome to find them again.
Before Teacher Li came, it was the best choice for him to stay here.
However, he forgot that there were other teammates here. Seeing that he didn't look very happy, Jiang Tianming said decisively: "Yes... Senior Mu, you should go to the infirmary with us. We can guard here."
Mu Yunfan also noticed something wrong with his body. He knew it would be safe for the younger generation from his own academy to use it, so he stopped trying to be brave. He nodded and walked towards the infirmary with the others.
However, no one knew what kind of poison they had been poisoned with. The poison evaporated quickly, and before they had walked half the distance, several people had headaches and stomachaches and were forced to squat where they were.
Fortunately, Su Bei and others were still nearby, and they sent the seniors to the infirmary in batches in an orderly manner.
Soon, Teacher Li came with the organizers. As soon as they entered the infirmary, Teacher Li asked anxiously: "What is the current situation? Is there any treatment method?"
"I'm sorry, we haven't found out the reason for their coma yet, but we can preliminarily determine that it's poisoning." An old man with a white beard stood up and said. He is the chief doctor here. When he uses his supernatural powers to the fullest, he can revive the dying, but he obviously doesn't have much of a way to deal with poisoning.
Before Teacher Li could say anything, the chief physician continued, "Because it's poisoning, if we want them to recover intact, we'd better find the cause of their poisoning first, rather than treating them directly. Of course, if you want them to wake up immediately, I can also use my special powers, but if the toxins are not removed first, there may be some sequelae."
If it is a common disease, it can be cured directly. But toxins are different, especially toxins from the supernatural world. Even if the appearance is restored to its original state, the toxins inside may have already penetrated into the bone marrow.
He gave the choice to Teacher Li: should he find out the cause of the poisoning and let them wake up in good condition, or should he ignore the students' safety and let them wake up immediately for the sake of the next competition?
“…”
Teacher Li was silent for a second, then said firmly: "Treat them normally. I want them to wake up intact."
Even though they have a good chance of winning this time, "Infinite Power Academy" is not a weak school. They have always been the favorite to win the championship, so there is no need to rush this time.
Moreover, even if they had the chance to win the championship for the first time, Teacher Li would never gamble with the students' future. These students were going to fight the Nightmare Beast, not just for a competition or the reputation of the school. She should not only be responsible for the school, but also for the future of the students.
After explaining the treatment of the students, Teacher Li turned to look at the organizers who were already wiping their sweat. "I think the Sesbia government should give us an explanation. Our students came to the hotel you built for the competition to eat, but ended up being poisoned and unconscious. There is a high possibility that they will not be able to participate in the next competition. I have to give an explanation for the students' losses, the losses of the Infinite Power Academy, and the losses of the country."
"Of course, of course. We will definitely find the murderer and give you an explanation." The person in charge wiped the sweat from his forehead, his face looked very unhappy. "We have already urgently asked for a detective, and he will be here tomorrow."
The main reason why he can't come until tomorrow is because this detective himself is very busy. Even if the government spent a lot of money to invite him to come on an expedited basis, he still has to finish the case at hand first.
Teacher Li nodded as a matter of course, not looking happy at all, although he thought it was what the other party should do. Seeing this attitude, the person in charge smiled bitterly, knowing that things were not going to go well.
Sure enough, she immediately asked: "What about the competition? All the players in our school are unconscious now, how can we hold the competition?"
Regarding this question, the person in charge hesitated for a moment and said: "We will also postpone the second game of the World Championship for one day. The rest needs to be decided after discussion."
"Then you should not mind me discussing this with you guys," Teacher Li said with a smile, but the threat in her tone was unquestionable. Obviously, if they refused, she would immediately make this matter public and, by the way, unite the supernatural government in the country to put pressure on Sesbia.
The person in charge wiped his sweat and nodded repeatedly: "This is what we should do. Let's go now."
He also had to report the matter to his superiors immediately. At first, he only knew that there was something wrong with the contestants, but he didn't take it seriously. It was not until he heard the chief doctor say that they were poisoned that the person in charge realized the seriousness of the problem.
Getting sick might be the contestant's own fault, but poisoning was definitely the organizer's fault. Especially since the person who got poisoned was the favorite to win the championship, he could guess what happened without even having to think about it.
The person in charge must be very upset. You know, this kind of thing didn't happen often in the past. Usually, they would do it on the stage. Who would have thought that they would do it off the stage?
You know, if you fight on the stage, you can still use the excuse that swords have no eyes. But if you fight outside the stage, there is no way to excuse yourself. This is the world of superpowers, and most of those conspiracies can be easily discovered.
The person in charge couldn't understand why someone would be so desperate as to poison the contestants, risking the school's reputation. If everyone was poisoned, he could still think it was the work of the Nightmare Beast. But since only a few were poisoned, it was clearly a revenge killing.
What kind of deep hatred is this with the "Infinite Power Academy"?
Teacher Li did not leave immediately, but said to Si Zhaohua and others: "Please stay here for a while. The patient still needs someone familiar to watch over him."
After that, she looked at Su Bei again: "You saw their fate in advance."
Seeing Su Bei nod, she immediately said: "Then you should come over and tell us what you saw."
Several people came to the conference room together. With the report from the person in charge, other relevant personnel had also arrived in the conference room. They were sitting at the table, waiting for their arrival.
"Su Bei, you speak first." Teacher Li, who sat in the host seat, seemed to have completely forgotten that he was the guest and took the initiative right from the start.
Su Bei naturally would not hold back the teacher and simply recounted what he had seen. When they heard that Mu Yunfan and the others would not die, but just had physical problems, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It's good that they won't die. If they really die, it will be a major accident.
There are not many people with special abilities, and talented people with special abilities are rare. If a bunch of them die when they hold the World Championship, then they will not be able to hold the next World Championship, and the special abilities of their country will be ostracized by others.
When he got this result, Teacher Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he sneered: "Ha, don't you think that everything will be fine as long as they don't die? If they can't recover before the start of the second round of competition, then how will the losses of our school be calculated? How will the losses of the students be calculated? How will the losses of the country be calculated?"
The three fatal questions were asked again, and everyone present was confused. One of them couldn't help but ask, "Don't you have a backup? Isn't the backup's purpose at this time..."
Before he could finish his words, he was stopped by Teacher Li's stern gaze. The Dean of Education's reputation for awe was well-deserved. Even if they were not from the same country or the same school, they would still be shocked.
Without Teacher Li saying anything, the others knew how unreasonable his words were. Su Bei was too lazy to listen to their arguments, and before they could come up with a conclusion, he raised his hand and said, "Teacher, can I leave first?"
"Well, you go first." When facing him, Teacher Li's expression softened a little and let Su Bei leave.
As soon as he returned to the infirmary, Su Bei was surrounded and asked about the situation in the conference room. He briefly explained, and then without hesitation, he pushed everyone aside and checked the fate compasses of Mu Yunfan and others.
There is no change from before.
The changes of the big pointer are usually very slow. There is no change at this time, so it is estimated that Mu Yunfan and others will not wake up in the next two days.
Sesbia could postpone the game for one day, but it couldn't be postponed for too long. For such a big event, every day of delay would mean a loss of countless money. And the delay would not only delay Sesbia, but also the time of the participating athletes.
They have already offended one country by causing this incident. They can't offend other countries just to appease one country.
So if nothing unexpected happens, Jiang Tianming and the others will be on the field. Usually, there are five places for this kind of team competition, and there are a total of six awake contestants from the "Endless Ability Academy". Su Bei is thinking about whether he should go on the field.
From the information he had received before, it was not safe to go inside or outside the competition, so it was the same for him wherever he went. Relatively speaking, Su Bei was more willing to stay with the protagonists, at least there was a certain degree of security. But if he participated in the competition, who would be left outside?
Before they could think for too long, Teacher Li came back with some takeaway food, which he had ordered for them because he knew they hadn't had time to eat because of this incident.
"Thank you, teacher!" Everyone was overjoyed. They had forgotten about eating just now, but when they smelled the fragrance of the food, their stomachs started to growl.
While they were eating, Teacher Li briefly explained the outcome of the incident: "First of all, I want to apologize to you. Originally, you were not supposed to play in the second round, but you know the current situation. If Yunfan and the others don't wake up tomorrow, then... five of the six of you will have to play."
"It's okay, teacher." Jiang Tianming immediately replied considerately, "These backups were originally set up to deal with emergencies. Now is the time for us to take the lead."
In fact, although they were not so confident in themselves, everyone present, except Su Bei, did not want to participate in the competition. They would only feel excited to be able to participate in the second game legitimately, and would never feel timid before the battle.
However, the issue of choosing five from six made some people have some thoughts in their minds. No one wanted to be the one who was not chosen. Many people glanced at Su Bei, wondering what he was thinking.
If Su Bei is not willing to go, then there is nothing to argue about. But if Su Bei is willing to go, then there is definitely a place for him. Who will be excluded?
Teacher Li did not intend to let everyone choose the five players right away. Chong Jiang Tianming smiled and continued, "At the same time, I have also secured a benefit for you. If Yunfan and the others are still not awake by 8 o'clock tomorrow night, then you will know the details of the second round of the competition in advance."
Normally, the rules of the competition are announced on the day of the competition, after the contestants from each college have started playing. This way, they cannot get instructions from the team leader, which is a relatively fair method.
Now that this has happened, the regular team members have been wiped out, and only the freshmen can be sent to play. This is definitely unfair to the "Infinite Power Academy", so they can only seek balance in other places.
After a pause to give everyone time to react, she said something else: "The murderer will be investigated by the detectives tomorrow, so you don't have to worry about it. But in fact, there are only a few possibilities. Those who specifically target our college are naturally profitable opponents. So tomorrow, including... if you participate in the next round of competition, try to stay away from them."
She was referring to the other favorites to win the championship other than the "Endless Power Academy", such as the "Saint Dante Power Academy" that they just defeated yesterday.
This academy has always had a bad reputation, especially since they were just crushed by the "Infinite Power Academy", another favorite to win the championship. Teacher Li seriously suspected that they were the ones who did this, and their motives were sufficient.
I just hope that when the detectives arrive, they can find evidence, and it would be best if the murderer could be sent to the competition directly.
"That's all I have to say about you. Get a good night's sleep today and recharge your energy. The current situation..." Unable to hold back, Teacher Li sighed and said no more.
Things haven't been finalized yet, and she doesn't want to discuss the issue of choosing five out of six now.
After Teacher Li left, everyone looked at each other. After a moment of silence, Wu Mingbai smiled and asked, "Su Bei, are you still so 'selfless' this time?"
Su Bei's previous reason for not playing was selflessness, wanting to give others more opportunities. So Wu understood what this meant, that is, he was asking him whether he wanted to play this time.
"Are you sure you want me to be selfless?" Su Bei asked casually, playing with a gear in his hand.
He is researching the "hit gear". Although he has had this thing for a while, Su Bei rarely uses it. It is just a gear, the effect is not fixed, and it even has a CD.
So he is researching a way to make this thing have no CD. If he can fire several "hit gears" in succession, then according to probability, he may be able to find the enemy's weakness 100%.
Hearing his words, Wu wanted to refute subconsciously, but suddenly realized something and raised his hands decisively in surrender: "Just pretend I didn't say anything."
The current situation is that as freshmen, they are not as good as other high school seniors in terms of combat experience and physical fitness.
In this situation, if they want to win, they cannot give up any fighting power. Among the six people, Su Bei's comprehensive fighting power is undoubtedly the highest. If they want to win, Su Bei must play.
He actually forgot this just now, and only thought that if Su Bei didn't play, the others wouldn't have to get tangled up. Now that Su Bei reminded him, Wu Mingliang realized the problem. If he wanted to win the game, he couldn't let Su Bei out now. It didn't matter if he didn't play, but Su Bei had to play.
The others also just realized what was happening and were speechless. They thought the same as Wu Mingliang, it was rare that Su Bei was willing to participate in this competition, and they couldn't let him change his mind.
"Let's not discuss this for now. With so many doctors here, Senior Mu and the others may not be unable to wake up." Jiang Tianming stopped the conversation and changed the subject directly.
He knew why Teacher Li didn't bring up the selection issue just now, because he was afraid that they would have a rift because of it. There was still one day tomorrow, so there was really no need to be so anxious. If they really had a rift because of this, it would be a loss for both the college and themselves.
But to be honest, Jiang Tianming felt that he still had to discuss this issue in the end. It was almost impossible for Mu Yunfan and others to wake up before the game started. Like Teacher Li, he also thought that this was a conspiracy against the favorite to win the championship, the "Infinite Power Academy".
Since the enemy hiding in the dark originally wanted to prevent them from participating in the competition, they would naturally not give them a chance to wake up early. After taking such a big risk, the effect must be foolproof.
