Chapter 301
Even Su Bei couldn't help but sigh: "Why didn't the author set up the Nightmare Beast to be able to turn back into a human?"
If he had set it up this way, everything would have been easy to solve. Whether it was completely destroying Nightmare or whitewashing the Black Flash organization, it could have been done easily. The comics could have ended logically, and the comic world could have continued to operate after the plot ended.
Although if that were the case, Su Bei would not have the chance to be resurrected now. But to be honest, he did not want to be resurrected that much. As the saying goes, when a person dies, his soul disappears. Once you are dead, you will close your eyes and be buried in the ground forever. Who would still think about so many things?
But the author chose to abandon the straight road and take a detour. Oh no, the detour was found by Su Bei himself, and it had nothing to do with the author. The author gave up the straight road and sat down to rest.
"Because from the logic of the birth of nightmare beasts, they can't turn back into humans. And if you want them to be able to turn into humans, you have to change the underlying settings of nightmare beasts." The voice of "comic consciousness" rang in Su Bei's ears, "That would be too troublesome for the author."
Hearing this, he suddenly understood. This was true. As a creature of resentment, the Nightmare Beast was not even a complete human thought. Logically, it was impossible for it to turn back into a human. At that time, he also agreed with this logic.
Su Bei stopped commenting on this meaningless question and continued to browse the forum by swiping his phone screen. He was also interested in another post related to him.
"Did Su Bei really just go there to have fun during the last bit of time?"
【Beige’s Little Fangirl No.0: From what I know about Su Bei, he is not the type of person who would face danger calmly. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall is the best description of him, although Beige is not a gentleman either.
After knowing that they would be transported to a more dangerous place, Su Bei's reaction was not to try to save himself, but to start messing around. I suspect there is something wrong with him.]
[No.1: Hahahahahahahahaha, for a moment I don’t know whether the OP is a fan of Su Bei or a hater]

【No.47: Look at the last aerial view of the amusement park. There is no Su Bei in the picture. But apart from him, not to mention the protagonists, even Elvis and Huangfu Mingzhe have a representative villain, but Su Bei doesn't have one. I seriously suspect that he really ran away!

【No.49 replied to No.47:
There really isn’t any Subei. Could it be that he went to some places that cannot be seen from the bird’s-eye view, such as a haunted house, or the interior of the small train he visited before…】
【No.50 replied to No.49:
From a realistic perspective, what you said is possible. But from a comic perspective, if the author wanted to show everyone at the last minute, he could have designed him on the road or doing other outdoor activities. 】
[No.60: I support the above post. Su Bei has definitely escaped.]

We call this a tactical retreat.

Su Bei's big talk
【……】
Su Bei, who was reading this comment, nodded in agreement. Is he such a coward? How can a tactical retreat be called running away?
The subsequent comments were basically discussing whether he was sent along with everyone else. There was no new content, so Su Bei simply closed the forum.
Then he took out the notebook of the "Destiny" organization and searched for the latest information about the "Black Flash" organization. As a member of an organization that infiltrates various places, the organization has always had a rich source of intelligence.
After paying a considerable amount of points, the first news Su Bei saw was that the "Black Flash Organization" had resumed its activities.
The message provider is naturally anonymous, but you can spend a certain amount of points to enter a dialogue with the other party. The dialogue box will not reveal any identity information of the other party, it just allows the other party to receive the message, and the other party may not necessarily reply.
This was enough. Su Bei used the same anonymous account to send a small amount of points to the other party, and then sent a message to ask the other party: "Have you figured it out?"
This is the unspoken rule of the second inquiry. If the other party accepts this small amount of points, he will answer the question.
Maybe I was short of points. The other party quickly took the points and gave me the answer without asking any more questions: "Maybe I succeeded, but my status is low."
Su Bei: "..."
What a low status, which is equivalent to being unwilling to take responsibility for his own answer. Fortunately, Su Bei certainly knows whether their research has been successful or not, and it is definitely unsuccessful. However, looking at the other party's behavior, the upper echelons of the "Black Flash" organization should have hidden the news of the research failure.
What Su Bei really wants to know now is whether they are the mantis catching the cicada while the oriole is waiting behind, taking over the mess left by the Nightmare Beast, or cooperating with the Nightmare Beast, giving them advice and help.
But no matter which possibility it is, the news that the "Black Flash" organization has made a comeback has made Su Bei certain of one thing, that is, the crisis in this world competition must be related to the "Black Flash" organization.
Thinking of this, he stopped asking questions and directly drafted a new piece of information to send out - "The World Championship players were sent away and it was related to the 'Black Flash' organization."
This message contains the keyword "World Championship". I hope that interested people can find it as soon as possible. Su Bei also wants to give his organization more presence in the comics, just in case it will be useful later.
The most important thing is that he needs to use this method to warn the positive side in advance that the "Black Flash" organization may have cooperated with the Nightmare Beast.
It is known that the last teleportation in the illusion is related to the "Black Flash" organization. If they were indeed teleported to the "Black Flash" organization's territory, then there is nothing to say. But if they were still teleported to the Nightmare World, then it would be interesting in the eyes of those who already knew the news.
Only when the Nightmare Beasts are in absolute dominance will Jiang Tianming and his team be transported to the Nightmare Beasts world. So where is the involvement of the "Black Flash" organization? If they are not mantis catching cicadas, then what are they?
If the truth is that the Black Flash organization has indeed cooperated with Nightmare, then as long as there is this doubt, the righteous people will definitely discover the truth earlier than the author designed.
If there is any benefit of discovering the truth earlier, it is probably that many people would not die.
Although Su Bei was not a very good person, he was certainly not a bad person either. He did not mind saving others as long as he could and did not harm his own interests.
The "Destiny" organization still has some influence. Su Bei slept for two hours. When he woke up, an anonymous account asked him: "How reliable is the news? Does this participation mean that the "Black Flash" organization took the players away?"
The question was asked so urgently, and the red envelope points for the second question were so large, it seemed that he was related to the incident. Su Bei used his leader's power to open the other party's backstage, and indeed saw that the other party's nationality was Sesbia.
Because the way to join the "Destiny" organization, apart from the initial "Comic Consciousness" active invitation, the rest basically relies on recommendations from acquaintances, and a person only has one recommendation opportunity. And only when the points are sufficient can you get this recommendation opportunity.
In this case, the information of the members will be recorded to a greater or lesser extent, and the only person in the entire "Destiny" organization who can see these records is Su Bei, the leader of the organization.
This is the benefit of letting "Comic Consciousness" do this. The maintenance and operation of the "Destiny" organization basically relies on the system built into the laptop. It is like a precise computer, or a well-debugged program. It does not require a dedicated person to maintain and run it. It can put each message into different categories, so that everyone can smoothly redeem messages with points.
The absence of other leaders or managers ensures the confidentiality of information to the greatest extent possible.
Faced with these two questions, he only answered the first one: "One hundred percent reliable."
Su Bei believed in his own judgment.
As for the second question, he really couldn't be sure. If the "Black Flash" organization was just using Nightmare's plan to make profits for themselves, then the man must have been taken away by them. But if they were working with Nightmare, then the man was definitely taken away by Nightmare, and Nightmare would never give these players to them.
Seeing that he only answered one question, the person on the other side understood what he meant.
The conversation ended here, and Su Bei walked out of the room to eat. At this time, there was chaos outside. Teachers and parents who had learned that their students were missing or dead gathered outside the hotel and demanded an explanation from the Sesbia government.
Such a huge loss has never happened before except in a competition a hundred years ago. If those missing students cannot return safely, the loss this time would be almost a total annihilation.
Such big news cannot be concealed, and others are not fools. Something has happened outside the game, can the game continue safely? Even if the players in the illusion are really fine, after the crisis outside is resolved, it is only right to terminate the game immediately and call them back.
So if the other players haven't shown up yet, then something must have happened to them.
The Sesbia government, knowing that it could not possibly get away with it, could only try to appear honest in order to allay the anger of others.
But it was obvious that they had failed. Looking at the angry crowd outside, Su Bei could only mourn for them. Although they deserved to be attacked like this, who could blame them for not taking proper safety measures as the organizers of the competition, allowing the Nightmare Beast to succeed?
However, Su Bei did not expect that this incident would actually backfire on him. One of the people outside shouted as soon as he saw him: "That blond guy seems to be the only survivor!"
Subei: ""
No, how did this incident get out? Has the organizer been infiltrated like a sieve? Even the news that he is the only survivor was known to others. Don't they know how to protect the privacy of the victims?
What if the nightmare beast comes back for revenge, or if the families of other victims become angry with him because their children died and he came back alive?
This was not impossible. Su Bei had already heard someone outside the door shouting questions like "How did you come back alive?" and "Why didn't you save others?" The person stared at him with a bitter and vengeful look on his face, as if he had killed the person.
Sometimes the victim's family is irrational. Su Bei realized this deeply from his grandson's parents after the incident at the beginning of the school year.
Now the person who was angered had changed from Wu Mingbai to him, and Su Bei just wanted to give a good beating to the organizer who leaked the news.
With his back to the people outside and a helpless expression on his face, Su Bei decisively turned back to his room and sent a message to Qi Huang, asking her to bring up some food.
Qi Huang sent a question mark, followed by a phone call. Looking at the caller ID, Su Bei really felt that it was a miracle that she could become friends with Lan Subing. Lan Subing was definitely the kind of person who was particularly afraid of answering the phone, while Qi Huang was obviously someone who liked to communicate on the phone.
After picking up the phone, Qi Huang's voice came from the other end immediately: "Why do you want me to deliver the food? Remember the cafeteria is downstairs, right?"
"The zombies are surrounding the city below." Su Bei answered concisely, "Your light of justice can make them retreat."
Qi Huang: ""
After being silent for a while, she finally waved her hand and said, "Okay, okay, I'll get it for you."
After hanging up the phone, not long after, someone knocked on Su Bei's door. Su Bei opened the door and found that Qi Huang was in a good mood. He was holding a plate of beef and potato rice, and his face looked rosy.
He raised his eyebrows and quickly figured out what was going on: "The zombies are exaggerating you."
Unlike him, Qi Huang was the one who protected everyone. If it weren't for her, the others wouldn't be able to deal with the Calabash Nightmare Beast, let alone the low-level and mid-level Nightmare Beasts.
The Sesbia government could even reveal that he was a survivor, so Qi Huang would definitely not hide the fact that she saved everyone. For her great contribution in protecting the staff and the candidate students of various colleges, she would definitely be warmly welcomed when she went downstairs.
"How can you call them zombies?" Qi Huang rolled her eyes and said unhappily. Although the sight of a bunch of people gathered outside did make her understand strangely what Su Bei just said about "zombies besieging the city".
But they keep praising her!
After handing him the meal, Qi Huang did not leave immediately. Instead, he sat down on a chair in the room and asked curiously, "So why don't you go downstairs to eat? It can't be because you don't like so many people staring at you, right?"
The reason for saying this is that they had experienced a long period of being the center of attention when they were in the "Infinite Power Academy", especially when they were just formed into the first-year S class, and going to the cafeteria to eat and work was like a thorn in the side.
In the end, even Lan Subing, who was the most socially anxious, had become desensitized and could barely tolerate everyone's attention in the academy.
Su Bei shrugged: "I am the only survivor."
Hearing this, Qi Huang was stunned for a moment, then he understood, and the smile on his face immediately turned into anger: "How could they do this? You were able to escape back early, that's your ability, could it be that you could have left, but you had to be taken away with them? Without you coming out to report the news, they don't even know the situation of those people now."
"Don't worry about them. We should be able to go back in a few days anyway." Although the teacher hasn't said it yet, given the current situation, the academy will not let them stay here and wait for Jiang Tianming and others to come back.
Not to mention that we don't know when they will come back, or whether they can come back, they have to return to the soil suitable for their growth as soon as possible as the only remaining fruit. Besides, the current situation outside is not suitable for Su Bei to stay here, and they can't bet that a lot of people are reasonable and will not lose their minds.
In fact, Qi Huang didn't want to leave, she wanted to stay and wait for the others. But she also knew that this matter was not up to her to decide, so she sighed and talked about other things: "I don't know if Mu Hui...senior and the others will go with us."
"I don't think they will leave. The problem hasn't been solved yet, right?" Su Bei shook his head. Normally, the seniors should be sent back to the academy immediately after they fell into a coma, but since their vital signs were stable and they didn't need immediate treatment, the academy chose to keep them.
Because only by keeping them under the public's attention can they be most convincing when the murderer is finally caught. After all, they actually know who the murderer is, and the other party will usually blame them.
"What did you say about them?"
“Boom boom boom!”
Before Qi Huang finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. When he opened the door, it was Teacher Li. Teacher Li walked in with a complicated expression: "Let me tell you about your arrangements first. The academy has sent someone to pick you up and they will leave soon. As for Jiang Tianming and the others, the latest news is that the 'Black Flash' organization is also involved. If they were taken away by the 'Black Flash' organization, their lives should not be in danger in the short term."
Like the forum readers, when they first heard the news from the "Destiny" organization, they also thought that the "Black Flash" organization was taking advantage of the situation and intercepted the Nightmare Beast. They never thought that they might be cooperating with the Nightmare Beast.
However, Su Bei was not sure about the other hypothesis, so he did not say much.
Qi Huang's eyes widened in surprise: "How did the 'Black Flash' organization do this?"
Nightmare's actions at the World Championship must have been carefully planned, and it is indeed amazing that the Black Flash organization was able to intervene in this situation. However, if they had been cooperating with Nightmare from the beginning, that would be another story.
"I'm not sure, but we have decided to go to the Black Flash organization's territory to look for clues." Teacher Li had no answer to this question. She sighed and said, "Just go back and rest assured. I will inform you as soon as there is any news."
Although it's hard to feel at ease in this situation, this is all I can say now.
After saying that, she looked at Su Bei again with a worried expression. It was obvious that she had also seen the attitude of the group of people downstairs towards Su Bei, the survivor: "You don't need to care what others think. It's amazing that you can protect yourself and come back safely in that situation. No one can ask you to save others or accompany them through thick and thin."
"I know the teacher." Su Bei smiled sweetly, "It's just that they are really annoying. Can I teach them a lesson?"
It was difficult for him to change the fate of so many people, but he could still make them less lucky. Su Bei was not a kind man, and it was impossible for him to swallow his anger after being scolded in front of him.
Although there may be some people with powerful supernatural powers among those who talk about him, the "Gear of Destiny" is silent and almost impossible to resist, especially when he is not changing fate but only changing luck.
"This..." Such an unexpected answer made Teacher Li twitch his lips. He originally wanted to tell Su Bei not to make a fuss, but then he thought of his special abilities and felt that he might not be joking.
After thinking for a while, she asked hesitantly, "No matter what you want to do, they are... victims. Their relatives and friends are in danger of death. If you go too far, then even if you are right, it will become wrong."
Teacher Li did not stop Su Bei from taking revenge. Some people really should be taught a lesson. And the most important thing is that they will be returning to the academy soon. After taking revenge, they can leave immediately without worrying about what the other party will do after the reaction.
But revenge must be done in moderation, as she was worried that Su Bei might do something wrong due to his young age.
Su Bei knew this, of course. At least for now, the other party was just being rude. He would not kill them. He nodded and said, "I just want them to get rid of the trouble they have recently."
"Will this misfortune involve those missing students?" Teacher Li was about to breathe a sigh of relief after hearing this answer, but suddenly remembered something and asked seriously.
Su Bei laughed dumbly, wondering what kind of person he was thinking of. "Of course not."
Teacher Li finally breathed a sigh of relief: "It's up to you. As I said before, be careful."
After getting her approval, Su Bei slowly put down his chopsticks, stood up and walked out.
Teacher Li naturally had to go with him to prevent any accidents. Qi Huang also followed him out of excitement.
After going downstairs, Su Bei calmly sat on the sofa for a while, and quickly locked onto those people who were dissatisfied with him as a survivor.
After simply adjusting their little fingertips, Su Bei stood up again with a polite smile on his face: "I heard that people who make trouble without reason will suffer bad luck."
The next second after these words were spoken, the faces of those people suddenly changed and they covered their stomachs at the same time.
“Puff, puff, puff—”
A series of loud farts rang out like firecrackers. In an instant, everyone's faces turned green. They covered their noses in a hurry and scattered in all directions, fleeing away from this smelly place.
The guys who farted loudly didn't bother to ask Su Bei what was going on. They ran away with distorted expressions, red faces and bent waists. If they didn't run away, they were afraid that they would poop here, which would be very embarrassing.
In a short while, there was no one left in the crowded entrance.
Su Bei blinked in surprise, not expecting this to be the result. But he smiled and clapped his hands: "Kill two birds with one stone."
Qi Huang raised his thumbs up and said with full of admiration: "Awesome."
