Chapter 307



Chapter 307

Wu Mingbai would probably not be able to come back in a short time. It was still early, not even time for lunch. It was impossible for such a person to stay in his room and wait for Wu Mingbai to come back. After chatting for a few words in the restaurant, they decided to explore the castle together.

You should know that this is a treatment that other tourists visiting Asian and African countries absolutely do not have. Most people cannot even enter the castle and can only take pictures outside.

Because he had something to ask Feng Lan, Su Bei took the initiative to find him as a team. After all, it was a free exploration, and there was no requirement for a certain number of people in a group. After the two of them discussed it, they went straight to the stairs.

"Did you predict it?" When they reached a deserted place, Su Bei asked straight to the point.

As expected, Feng Lan nodded. He did not ask why Su Bei, who also had the ability to predict the future, asked him this question. He simply answered, "Well, it's very dangerous. I saw the mountains collapsing and the earth cracking..."

Landslides and cracks in the ground sounded really scary. Su Bei widened his eyes in surprise: "Why are you still here?"

If he hadn't been threatened by the comics, he would never have come here if he had known there were problems. Wouldn't it be nice to just lie at home? If you really want to travel, there are so many cities and countries to choose from. Why do you have to choose a place where there is 100% chance of trouble?

Although Feng Lan's reason for not getting involved in danger is completely different from his, generally speaking he is the kind of person who will try to keep himself as far away from danger as possible. The most important principle that a prophet with special abilities needs to grasp is that a gentleman does not stand under a wall.

This is not cowardice or selfishness, their abilities meant that they had to hide in the safest place behind the enemy lines. After all, a prophecy type could only create value when alive, and its actual role on the battlefield was not as good as that of an ordinary assault type.

But in the end, they both have the same goal. They are not the kind of people who would go to a place where there is a tiger. Why did Feng Lan decide to come this time?

"I'm here to make a prophecy to the king. This involves the language of a country, so I have to come in person to be convincing." Hearing his question, Feng Lan said a few more words for the first time.

Su Bei understood immediately. After all, this time it would involve a major national event. If he didn't come in person, the king of Asia and Africa might not believe him. This is the supernatural world, there are too many ways to fake it.

Moreover, even if they did not suspect that the news was not from the Feng family, the Asian and African countries would still suspect that the Feng family was spreading false news. Only by letting Feng Lan, as the head of the family, personally take risks can they fully believe that the news is correct.

However, Su Bei did not expect that Feng Lan came in person for another reason. Even if the Asian and African countries believed him unconditionally, without his personal presence as evidence, the other party might not necessarily spend much resources to resettle ordinary people in advance.

The Feng family, who often cooperate with these bigwigs, knows very well that for many high-ranking officials, their own lives and wealth are the most important. The common people are nothing more than consumables that they can kill as many as they want.

Anyway, this is something that will happen in the future. Even if they get the news in advance, as long as they don't admit that they know the news, the people can't blame them.

But it was different when Feng Lan came in person. He had come here, and it was obvious that he wanted to talk to the king. If the king still did nothing in the end, after the incident, the Feng family could use this as evidence to accuse the Asian and African countries of doing nothing.

They didn't put the owner of the house in danger just to get a result without any trouble.

This is also the reason why the Feng family, a prophetic family, enjoys international reputation. They do not only use their supernatural powers to make profits for themselves. When encountering such major events involving a country or even the world, the Feng family will stand up and provide information for free.

Their purpose is to save the world and save talents.

When he reached the staircase, Su Bei looked up and down. The stairs on both sides were the same, only the color was slightly different. Although he already had a realistic idea in mind, he still planned to ask his friends for their opinions: "Go up or go down?"

"I'm fine with either." Feng Lan said she had no objection.

Su Bei made a decision immediately: "Then let's go down."

They were on the third floor, and if they walked down for a while they would reach the bottom.

The reason for choosing to go down was based on Su Bei's consideration of what Butler Weisser had just said.

First of all, he needs to determine his goal. He wants to find the guardian god Gaodi Anzhuo. The most likely place for the guardian god to exist is this castle, which is why he is willing to come out to explore.

Just now Weisser said that the top two floors are not accessible. According to common sense, the traces of the guardian angel must be most likely hidden in those two floors.

But this idea will come to anyone who hears that, that is, anyone who comes to explore the castle will definitely go to the upper two floors. How stupid must the King of Asia and Africa be to really hide the guardian angel there?

This is different from the news that the guardian angel is hiding in the castle. Although the former is also known to everyone, the scope of a castle is very large, much larger than a two-story building, and it is much more difficult to find.

Moreover, the castle itself stands here openly, giving people a feeling of not being afraid of being checked. However, the top two floors are directly blocked, which seems to be a more stringent confidentiality measure, but in Su Bei's eyes, it has a flavor of trying to cover up but making it more obvious.

Most importantly, Weisser also said that one of the forms of the Guardian Angel is a human face protruding from the stone wall. Without considering that he was lying, where else could the stone wall appear? It can only be underground.

Su Bei planned to go to the basement of the castle to take a look. If there was anything there, he would be able to find it with his special abilities.

"Are you going out?" Feng Lan was a little surprised and obviously misunderstood what he meant.

"How is that possible?" Su Bei smiled and shook his head, saying meaningfully, "Compared to the outside, the castle is much more interesting."

Although he was thinking of going to the basement, Su Bei was not in a hurry to complete his goal. Instead, he slowly walked around the second and first floors respectively, opened every room that could be opened and looked at it, looking very curious.

After touring both floors, I finally found the maid on the first floor and asked her curiously but politely: "Hello, is there anything in the basement of the castle?"

At this point, he paused deliberately. After seeing the alertness in the other person's eyes, he continued naturally: "It's the underground prison that often appears in fairy tales!"

Maid: “…”

It must be said that Su Bei's character of a curious and mischievous little boy is well established. The maid only thought it was funny and was not alert at all: "Sorry, guest, all prisoners in Asian and African countries will be imprisoned in prisons outside through judicial institutions. There is no need for underground prisons."

"Oh, so..." Su Bei looked disappointed, thought for a moment and asked again, "Is there a basement? We want to go take a look."

It seems that he is still not giving up. The maid felt that she saw through him and nodded helplessly. She thought to herself, let's go. If we can't find the prison, we will just be quiet: "Of course, but the staircase entrance is more hidden. If you want to go, please follow me."

Of course, the main reason why she was willing to take him to the underground floor was that there was really nothing that needed to be hidden. According to Butler Weisser, the staircase entrance was designed to be more secretive because there was a warehouse for storing miscellaneous items underneath, which was not beautiful and interesting, so the staircase entrance was hidden more strictly to avoid people going down out of curiosity during the national open day and returning disappointed.

She often went to clean the basement, so she naturally knew that what the other party said was true. It was just a warehouse.

The entrance to the stairs is behind a large vase. You can go down directly by moving the flower pot away. When you reach the basement, you can see all kinds of brown cardboard boxes, as well as some broken tables, chairs and other miscellaneous items. You can tell at a glance that this is a warehouse.

The maid had no intention of staying here to accompany them on the tour, as she had her own work requirements. After bringing them here, she bowed and left.

Feng Lan did not ask Su Bei why he came to such a place, but just walked quietly along the wall. Su Bei ignored him and turned on his ability to observe the surroundings, knocking on the box from time to time to see if there was anything inside.

After walking around for a while, Su Bei didn't find any living creatures except a little mouse. He sighed. Although he had prepared himself mentally and knew that it was almost impossible for him to find the guardian on the first day, he still felt disappointed when there was no clue at all.

"Let's go up." Without wasting time here, Su Bei took Feng Lan back the same way.

It was only then that Feng Lan finally spoke: "What did you predict?"

This was a rather incoherent statement, but Su Bei immediately responded and said, "Maybe there's something I want here."

When he asked Feng Lan if she had predicted anything, he was ready for him to ask him the same question. But Feng Lan didn't ask at that time, so he didn't say anything. He didn't expect that the other party would ask now.

Feng Lan looked thoughtful and suddenly asked, "Do you need help?"

Hearing this, Su Bei was stunned at first, and his eyes showed a hint of desire, but in the end he shook his head and refused: "Thank you, but no need. Use your ability at a more critical time."

Feng Lan's [Prophecy] ability has a very long CD. If we make a prophecy for him now, we may not be able to make a second prophecy before they leave Asia and Africa.

Finding the guardian angel is not something Su Bei has to do now. The driver had previously revealed an important piece of information, which is that members of the royal family need to be recognized by the guardian angel, which means that Wu Mingbai will definitely meet the guardian angel.

Since the guardian angel will definitely appear, he will definitely have the opportunity to find the opponent. Therefore, Su Bei is not in a hurry and does not want to waste the opponent's precious prophecy opportunity.

It was already evening when Wu Mingbai came back. He had lunch and dinner with his family and had no chance to come back to report his safety. It was not until 7pm that he finally found time to meet up with everyone.

At that time, Su Bei was lying on the bed looking at the database of the "Destiny" organization. His mental power sensed movement in the corridor outside, so he immediately opened the door and walked out, and saw Wu Mingbai walking towards him.

He was surprised to see Su Bei: "Why did you come out?"

"My spiritual power sensed that you're back." Su Bei shrugged and walked side by side with him. "Have you seen the guardian deity today?"

Compared to the family members whom he had just met two or three times, Wu Mingbai's little friend was of course more important, so he did not hide anything at all: "No, but I know some relevant information. I should be able to see him in person after the family reunion banquet in two days."

"What information?" Su Bei suddenly became interested.

But Wu Mingzhi didn't mean to answer immediately, and instead directed him bluntly: "Please call the others out for me first. I think they should also be interested. I happen to have some plans for the next two days, and I specifically told... my mother that I would tell you in person."

The rooms in the castle are well soundproofed. No one will be able to hear you if you shout outside. You have to knock on every door.

After much difficulty, everyone was handed over and everyone gathered in Jiang Tianming's room.

Since everyone present was an acquaintance, Wu Mingbai didn't waste time and said straight to the point: "I have to take a intensive etiquette course these few days, so I can't be with you. But my mother said that the housekeeper will arrange your food, clothing, housing and transportation, so you don't have to worry. I invite you to the family recognition banquet the day after tomorrow, and you can just eat and drink then... Refuse to take pictures. If anyone laughs at me with the pictures afterwards, I will crawl into your room in the middle of the night and assassinate you. After the family recognition banquet, I will go to see the guardian angel. My mother said that I can't take pictures and I can't bring you here, so I didn't agree. But it should be okay to tell you what the guardian angel looks like afterwards."

After saying all that needed to be said, he heaved a sigh of relief and smiled innocently: "Don't be nervous, I will..."

"You are the one who is nervous, right?" Jiang Tianming interrupted him, took a step forward, pinched Wu Mingbai's cheeks with both hands, and forced him to smile. "What are you nervous about?"

Lan Subing also noticed her friend's nervousness. Her blue eyes were filled with worry. She followed Jiang Tianming and said, "Are you not used to being here? Or are your brothers and sisters bullying you?"

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the king and queen probably accepted him sincerely, but the same could not be said for his brothers and sisters, many of whom were hostile towards Wu Mingbai.

Wu Mingbai was stunned for a moment, pursing his lips, not expecting them to reveal his feelings at once. He said, "I am a little uncomfortable. They didn't do anything to me, they just tested me. I was nervous because... mainly because I am not used to it. I am not used to this castle, the existence of servants, the language of the Asian and African countries, and... these relatives."

Because he had been exposed, he was ready to give up and honestly express his feelings. In short, he felt uncomfortable in every aspect of his new home. Of course, the most uncomfortable thing was the sudden appearance of his relatives. When he was an orphan, he had imagined what it would be like if he had relatives, but when his relatives really showed up, he felt strange.

As for the temptations from his brothers and sisters, it was nothing to Wu Mingbai. Even if they were related by blood, they were strangers who hadn't seen each other for more than ten years. Moreover, there might be conflicts of interest. It would be normal to meet and test them. However, in fact, this kind of temptation was what he was most accustomed to.

Jiang Tianming patted his shoulder calmly to comfort him: "Take advantage of these few days to adapt and talk to them more. It doesn't matter if you can't adapt, you will be back by the time school starts at the latest, right?"

That was true. Wu suddenly understood. He really had no intention of staying here. No matter what kind of people his parents and siblings were, he would always go back. China was the environment he was truly adapted to, and the people around him were his recognized partners. Even if Yafei Country was good, and his parents and siblings were all good, he would not abandon the past of more than ten years and really stay here.

While they were comforting Wu Mingbai, Su Bei sat in a corner and asked Feng Lan next to him: "When are you going to tell the king about that?"

"Tomorrow." Feng Lan had obviously thought about it a long time ago, "Tomorrow when you guys go out to play."

Su Bei thought about it and didn't say much. He originally wanted Feng Lan to take the opportunity to ask about the guardian god. After all, if it was a landslide, it must be related to the guardian god. Everyone knows that the most important ability of Gaodi Anzhuo is to stabilize the land of Asia and Africa. The prophecy of the landslide can only mean that Gaodi Anzhuo has a problem. There is a high probability that he will get an answer if he asks this question.

But he thought again, there should be another comic update before the incident happened, and this plot should be drawn in then. Even if Feng Lan didn't ask, the author's habit would make related topics appear automatically, and he would be able to get the answer he wanted from the comic, so there was no need to remind him specifically.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Xiaoyu, who had been paying attention to them, asked curiously.

Although they both lowered the volume on purpose, in front of the psychic, even the quietest sound could be heard at such a short distance.

Feng Lan did not hide it from her. Seeing that others were looking over, she simply repeated the prophecy in a normal voice.

When they heard that a great disaster was about to happen in Asia and Africa, everyone's faces changed. The class leader, Mu Tieren, frowned and stood up: "In that case, should we talk to the teacher first?"

Before anyone else could speak, Si Zhaohua shook his head and said, "This is Asia-Africa's business. Let alone telling the teacher, even telling our country's supernatural government will be useless. Telling Asia-Africa's leaders as soon as possible, like Feng Lan, is the right choice."

That's true. The Iron Man sighed, looked at the others uncertainly, then looked at Wu Mingbai and said, "So what should we do next?"

His question was very clear. He was asking if they would stay here knowing that the Asian-African country would be in danger. If it was an attack by nightmare beasts, they could still play a role. But if it was a natural disaster, except for Wu Mingbai, whose supernatural power was the earth element, it seemed that there was no point for the others to stay here.

After thinking for a while, the wooden iron man added: "I want to stay and do some rescue work, but it depends on your opinion."

"...I want to leave. I will tell Teacher Meng about this when I return. Maybe you will see me in the subsequent rescue team..." After a second of silence, Zhao Xiaoyu spoke before anyone else did. She knew that if anyone else spoke, she would not be able to speak.

After more than a year of getting along, she got to know her classmates very well, and most of them definitely wanted to stay. Just as Mu Tieren said, they could do rescue work if they stayed. The psychics were physically strong and had a certain ability to protect themselves, so they were indeed good candidates for this job. If they could be put to good use, these passionate teenagers in the class would naturally not retreat.

But Zhao Xiaoyu didn't want to stay. Although [Happiness] could work in this situation, it was not very effective with her mental strength. She couldn't cover a large area, so she couldn't inspire many people.

The future is very dangerous, and Zhao Xiaoyu doesn't want to die in a foreign country. She is a very realistic person. Even if she becomes a superpower, it doesn't mean that she will selflessly sacrifice her life for others. Facing unknown dangers, she hopes to protect her own safety first.

There would be no need to worry so much about the subsequent rescue work, as the danger should be almost over by then, and she would only need to do logistical work. This was what Zhao Xiaoyu was willing to accept.

The reason why she wanted to express her thoughts in advance was because she knew that many people would choose to stay. If they all expressed their desire to stay, she would seem unsociable if she said she wanted to leave.

So it’s better to say it first, so that even if others want to stay, she won’t be embarrassed. And if she takes the initiative to open the “leave” option first, maybe others will follow suit.

Sure enough, Zhou Renjie immediately agreed: "I don't want to go either, but I can go back and organize a fundraising event to donate some money or supplies to the disaster victims here."

Li Shu glanced at Jiang Tianming and sighed artificially: "I choose to stay. Otherwise, I won't be able to see interesting friends for more than a month. I will feel lonely."

Of course he wanted to leave, but Jiang Tianming would definitely stay here. He felt that he could protect himself, so he decided to stay. As he said, a separation of one or two weeks would be fine, but a separation of more than a month was a bit too long for him. What if Jiang Tianming secretly made progress during this time?

Jiang Tianming: “…”

He was speechless for a moment, and could only give his own answer: "I will stay. Is there anyone else who won't stay? Most of them should stay."

Indeed, no one raised their hand, except Zhao Xiaoyu and Zhou Renjie, the rest of them actually wanted to stay.

After waiting for a while, everyone's eyes silently turned to Su Bei's direction. Su Bei knew what they wanted to ask and smiled falsely: "Is there any problem with me staying?"

Unfortunately, no one gave him this face. Ai Baozhu asked without hesitation: "Why did you stay to save people?"

Of course he would stay to find the guardian angel. Su Bei estimated that according to the author's plot arrangement, he would be most likely to meet Gaodi Anzhuo before or after the incident in the Asian and African countries, so he had no choice but to stay.

But he definitely couldn't say that. He kept a fake smile on his face and said in a high-sounding manner, "Of course it was to save people!"

"Thank you for treating us like fools." Ai Baozhu rolled her eyes in annoyance.

Jiang Tianming stared at Su Bei for a while with an inquiring look, then looked at Wu Mingbai: "The rest of us want to stay. After Feng Lan tells the king about the matter, he may want us to leave. You can go and help talk to him then."

Seeing Wu Mingbai's hesitant expression, Lan Subing said quietly: "You don't think we will go back, do you?"

Wu Mingbai immediately gave up the idea and said helplessly and emotionally: "I will tell them."
