Chapter 310
"I don't think this is something you need to be curious about." Su Bei waved his hand in boredom, opened the door and walked back, "If you just want to see the video, then I'll go back first."
"Hey wait!" His younger brother called him quickly, his expression changing again and again, "We have already been...already punished. Sorry, it was our fault yesterday! We shouldn't have tested you so easily."
I didn't expect this guy to be so straightforward and apologize even faster than his more rational brother. Su Bei rarely showed a surprised expression.
Then the elder brother also apologized, and then said: "As a friend who understands the king, you will not harm the Asian and African countries, right?"
"As Wu Mingliang's brothers, you won't harm his friends, right?" This Yan State map is too short, Su Bei complained in his heart. However, he didn't show it on his face, and asked a rhetorical question in the same sentence, full of sarcasm.
They could all be detrimental to me, so how could I possibly have a good impression of the Asian-African country just for the reasons that Wu Mingbai knew? Not to mention him, I'm afraid even Wu Mingbai himself doesn't have any good impression of the Asian-African country. At best, it's just a tiny yearning.
Understanding his hidden meaning, the younger brother immediately became anxious: "So didn't we apologize? And we didn't really mean to hurt you from the beginning. We know you can definitely beat a mid-level nightmare beast! If you don't believe me, you can..."
"I know." Before he could finish, Su Bei spoke calmly, "Do you think you could have left so easily yesterday?"
He wasn't saying this just to set up a persona. If they really wanted to kill him, even if they were princes, Su Bei would have shown no mercy yesterday. Just like he threatened them at the time, the evidence that he had met them had already been destroyed by them, so he could do whatever he wanted.
That was true. The two brothers suddenly realized something. They also felt that his attitude towards them might not be as bad as they imagined, so they couldn't help but continue the previous topic: "Then..."
However, Su Bei did not intend to give them a chance to speak. He simply opened the door and walked back: "Well, nothing can be accomplished by two eight-year-old children, right?"
The family reunion party started soon. Although it was a family reunion party, after Wu Dabai appeared like a monkey and was watched by everyone, it turned into a networking event. No one paid attention to a new prince. Although he had the possibility of becoming a king, the possibility was actually very small. For most people, the benefits of making friends with the new prince were not as good as getting in touch with a big shot at the party.
However, despite this, Wu knew that there were still many people around him, and he had no chance to find Jiang Tianming and the others. He could only occasionally look around, hoping that someone could save him from the sea of suffering.
Unfortunately, he was obviously wrong, and no one came to save him. The "heartless" people sat in a corner and ate fruit. The food was really good, although the taste was full of exotic flavors, it was not bad. The novelty made everyone very satisfied.
"Why did those two guys come to you just now? Judging from your expressions... they came to apologize," Zhao Xiaoyu guessed as he used a fork to pick up the sweet and sour chicken on the plate.
When the three of them came back, Su Bei's expression was as calm as ever. Although the two children looked a little unwilling, they were not angry, which showed that the content of their conversation was relatively peaceful. Thinking of what Wu Mingbai had said yesterday that he would complain to the king, she immediately thought of this possibility.
It wasn’t a wrong guess, Su Bei nodded.
Such a well-behaved person is really uninteresting. Zhao Xiaoyu looked away boredly and looked at Ai Baozhu again: "I thought you would go out and talk to those people."
She was not used to this kind of occasion, but Ai Baozhu and the others were definitely used to it. There were many big figures from Asian and African countries present, and even if they were not from this country, it would be a good choice to go out and make some friends with them.
"No need." Ai Baozhu pointed to Wu in the direction he understood, "We already have the largest network of contacts in Asia and Africa."
It was originally a foreign country far away, and distant water could not quench a nearby fire. Making connections here would have little effect. In addition, Wu already knew this connection, so there was no need to make friends with others.
Zhao Xiaoyu understood and nodded in agreement: "That's true."
"Mingbai is on stage again." Jiang Tianming looked at the booth. This was the first time Wu Mingbai was dressed so gorgeously. The brown clothes that matched his hair color made him look a bit like a knight from a fairy tale, loyal and reliable.
This time, he came on stage to make the final remarks. To Su Bei, it sounded like the other party was going to step down and would not continue to be a monkey. Everyone could start to move freely.
Good news.
He exhaled lightly and said to Si Zhaohua beside him, "I'm going to the toilet and will go back to my room after I'm done."
After saying that, he left the banquet hall through the main entrance and went to the bathroom, took out the "dream bubble" and created the illusion that he had returned to his room after leaving the bathroom. He then used the invisibility charm to return to the banquet hall.
He had carefully studied the staircase at the back door of the banquet hall this morning. It was a staircase exclusive to the banquet hall and could not be reached from other places. Going up from this staircase should lead to the top floor, and going down should lead to the basement.
When Su Bei rushed back, Wu Mingbai and the king's party had disappeared, leaving only Weisser in charge. What was more disturbing was that the back door was also closed. If he opened the door directly, it might attract attention.
Yesterday he learned that many attacking or special power items in the venue could not be used, and once used, they would be discovered immediately. Su Bei thought about it, threw a gear wrapped in toilet paper to smash the vase in the distance, and took advantage of the moment when everyone was looking at the vase, he quickly opened the door and walked in.
As for the gear, it simply disappeared after completing its mission.
Su Bei walked downstairs without hesitation. There was no light except for a few wall lamps hanging on the wall, which looked a bit evil.
At the bottom was an iron door, also closed, but not locked, and it looked like it should be easy to open. Su Bei frowned and looked at the door for a few seconds, then raised his luck value to the highest, and then began to knock on the wall next to it.
It only takes a little thought to realize that this door cannot be the door leading to the Guardian God. Only a fool would believe that a staircase can lead directly to the Guardian God without any obstruction along the way.
Su Bei was sure that there was a trap behind the door. Since he knew it, he naturally did not have the urge to go into the tiger's den and decisively looked for clues from other places.
If there was an entrance somewhere else, there would be traces of it, either on the wall or on the ground.
Looking down at his feet, Su Bei soon discovered that the last section of the plush carpet was different from the rest of the area, and it looked like there were no signs of being stepped on.
In other words, this is where they ended up...
Su Bei came to that location and continued knocking on the wall, and indeed he heard a hollow sound.
He blinked at the blank wall, then raised his head as if sensing something and looked at the wall lamp above his head.
A minute later, Su Bei successfully opened the secret door and walked in. There was another flight of stairs, and just as he reached the first bend, Su Bei could faintly hear movement coming from below.
It sounded like my brother's voice, intermittent and unclear: "No need...no sound...continue..."
After listening to it, Su Bei understood. It seemed that even though he had tried to be quiet, he still made a sound. The other party was covering for him according to the contract agreement, so as to prevent the king from coming to check.
If he got any closer, he would be easily discovered even if he was invisible. Su Bei stood where he was and slowly released his mental power. There were eight people below, exactly the eight members of Wu Mingbai's family.
Apart from this, Su Bei did not sense any other energy bodies. It seemed that the guardian god had not come out yet.
This is undoubtedly good news. If the guardian god really comes out, he might be able to discover Su Bei's existence right away. He only dares to do such a thing because he relies on his invisibility.
Since the guardian god hadn't come out yet, he could make some preparations to avoid being discovered all of a sudden. Su Bei took out the low-presence props he had prepared long ago from Wu Jin. They were his own special abilities that he had specially stored.
This thing is magical. It is a defensive item and cannot be detected by the machines in the banquet hall.
The king began to perform the summoning ceremony. Su Bei could feel the endless energy coming from all around, converging to one point, and then transforming into an extremely uncomfortable energy. Su Bei was very familiar with this energy. This was resentment, and the guardian god was about to come out.
Sure enough, after a while, an energy body appeared in the room. Su Bei withdrew his mental power in time and walked down a few steps to make sure he could hear their conversation completely.
A strange voice sounded, and it sounded like the rough male voice that only appeared in special effects: "This is your first son"
"It's him, Lord Guardian, please bless him." The king had no intention of greeting and went straight to the point.
The guardian angel hesitated for a moment and did not agree to the other party's request directly. Instead, he talked about another matter first: "I have consumed a lot of energy on this trip, and protecting this child will also consume a lot of energy."
"I will hold a three-day tour across the country to praise your merits, and all people in the country must participate." The king answered skillfully, obviously knowing what He wanted.
The Guardian Angel was very satisfied with the words, and he immediately agreed to the king's request: "Then there is no problem on my side. Just like the previous steps, let him drip his blood here."
Su Bei didn't care about the next step of the protection. He was thinking about the information he had just received. Just as he had guessed before, this guardian angel really had something to ask of the royal family of Asia and Africa, which was why he helped them repeatedly.
What he wants sounds like reputation, gratitude, incense, and the like. The more people praise him, the better. No wonder they can cooperate. If you want to accumulate reputation in a country for a long time, relying on the royal family is the easiest way.
The royal family of the Asian and African countries obviously also understood the principle of "when the birds are gone, the good bows are hidden", and did not let the people in the country really regard the guardian god as a god and treat him with awe. In this way, once the support of the royal family is lost, it will not take more than a generation for Emperor Gaodi Anzhuo to lose the trust of the people.
Now the question is, if the Guardian God needs reputation, how can Su Bei satisfy Him and let Him answer his own question?
Su Bei quickly came up with a good idea. The "Destiny" organization in his hands has always been a good tool. If he provides some powerful information about Gaodi Anzhuo in the organization and then finds a way to let other people see it, he will definitely earn a lot of reputation for him.
This is how it can be done, but it must be done in moderation. Just as the Asian and African countries knew not to satisfy Gaodi Anzhuo too much, Subei could not let his reputation rise too much.
After all, the other party is a nightmare beast. Even if it does not target humans, it is not necessarily a good thing. It is good as it is now. He can only wield power in the Asian and African countries. He can help the people, but he cannot establish himself as a king.
Soon the ceremony was over, and the king led his people away. After the door was closed again, Su Bei came out. Without revealing his invisibility, he said to the stone wall in a fake voice that was definitely unrecognizable: "How about a deal?"
Suddenly hearing an unfamiliar voice, the guardian god was startled. A stone face with distinct features but very common and without any memory appeared on the stone wall, and its mouth opened and closed like an animation: "Who?"
He did not call the king back immediately. As a variant of a high-level nightmare beast, Gaodi Anzhuo was very confident in his own strength. Although he did not notice the existence of the person who spoke, it did not prevent him from defeating him. Otherwise, why would this person not dare to show up?
Compared to the trivial worries, curiosity obviously prevailed. Gaodi Anzhuo did not forget what Su Bei said: "What deal?"
Su Bei answered the first question first: "I am sent by the 'Destiny' organization. This is an intelligence organization. It can..."
"I've heard of this organization." Before Su Bei could continue to explain, the guardian angel saved him the trouble.
I didn't expect that the other party had heard of "Destiny". Although Su Bei did not look down on this organization, he only thought that "Destiny" was barely famous among human mutants, but not well-known among Nightmare Beasts, especially since the other party was such a special existence.
"I represent the land of Asia and Africa. If I want, nothing here can be hidden from me." The guardian angel said calmly, as if he had not said anything surprising.
Since the other party knows about the "Destiny" organization, it will be much easier to deal with. Su Bei answered the other party's second question concisely: "As for the deal, you answer three questions for me, and I will spread information that is beneficial to you in the organization's intelligence database, and at the same time find a way to let other people know the information. This should be what you want."
If all members of the organization could know the information that was beneficial to him, Gao Di Anzhuo felt that this would be a good thing. Especially since the cost was only three questions, in a sense, it was a deal that was profitable without any investment.
But he was very skeptical, not because he doubted whether Su Bei could do it, but because he could appear in front of him quietly, which was a skill in itself. Moreover, with the supernatural contract, he didn't worry that the other party would cheat.
What really made Gaodi Anzhuo suspicious was that there was no such thing as a free lunch. Such a business that made a huge profit without any investment looked like a trap no matter how you looked at it.
"Can I know what you want to ask?"
Su Bei did not hesitate and shook his head decisively: "No."
What if Gaodi Anzhuo knew what he wanted to ask and didn't answer? After all, he was a nightmare beast and might not be willing to expose the secrets of the nightmare beast world. Then Su Bei would not only not get an answer, but also expose his own purpose, which would be a loss.
"...Okay, I promise you, but you have to sign a supernatural contract." After all, fame was very tempting. Although he felt there was a trap, Gaodi Anzhuo still agreed to Su Bei's deal.
Su Bei had already prepared the contract, and he took it out immediately upon hearing this. Gaodi Anzhuo carefully checked it, and after confirming that there was no problem, he signed it. The contract emitted a golden light and officially came into effect.
After establishing a cooperative relationship, Gao Di Anzhuo did not waste time: "What do you want to ask?"
"First question." Su Bei raised a finger, "Why are there more earth elemental nightmare beasts in the nightmare world? I know it's because the nightmare world needs more earth elemental nightmare beasts, so what I'm really asking is why the nightmare world needs so many earth elemental nightmare beasts."
The words were like a tongue twister, but not difficult to understand. However, they succeeded in making the guardian deity who wanted to answer the question fall silent.
After a long silence, He asked, "Why do you ask this?"
Su Bei crossed his arms over his chest: "I think our deal does not include me answering your questions"
Indeed, Gaodi Anzhuo was stumped and did not waste any more time: "I can only tell you that the nightmare world needs more soil, especially the kind that floats in the air. And these need more earth element nightmares to maintain."
It seems that my guess was correct, Su Bei understood immediately. The Nightmare Beast World noticed that humans were deliberately clearing meteorites, and the disappearance of meteorites would lead to the disappearance of the power of the Nightmare Beast World. So in order to protect itself, the Nightmare Beast World instinctively gave birth to more Earth Elemental Nightmare Beasts.
So the next question is: "If all the Earth Elemental Nightmares disappear, or suffer heavy losses, what impact will it have on the Nightmare World?"
Thinking the other way around, the Nightmare World created more Earth Elemental Nightmare Beasts in order to protect itself. So, would the disappearance of Earth Elemental Nightmare Beasts cause some damage to the Nightmare World?
Su Bei does not think that the disappearance of the Earth Elemental Nightmare Beast will cause the Nightmare World to disappear. The Nightmare World and meteorites are directly related, but the Earth Elemental Nightmare Beast has nothing to do with these meteorites. Meteorites come from outer space and are not created by them.
However, not making the Nightmare World disappear doesn't mean we can't severely damage it. It's too difficult to destroy all meteorites in one go. If taking one more step can get a good result, Su Bei doesn't mind the trouble.
The two questions were more difficult to answer, and Gaodi Anzhuo felt that if he were a human, he would probably be sweating profusely by now: "It will lead to... soil loss, and the density of earth elements in the Nightmare World will decrease."
It sounds like nothing, but I always feel that the other party's pause is very suspicious... Su Bei showed a thoughtful look. He didn't know whether the direction of his thinking was right, so he could only take one step at a time.
The soil is missing, but there will be no missing meteorite fragments. In other words, if the Earth Elemental Nightmare really loses most of its body, then the meteorite fragments should be freed from the protection of the Earth Elemental and exposed.
Of course, this will make it easier to eliminate, but it is a bit more costly than gain.
Could it be that he was wrong? Actually, making the Earth Elemental Nightmare disappear would not provide any benefit to his ultimate goal.
Su Bei frowned, and suddenly thought of something. His previous thought was wrong. The biggest benefit of the disappearance of the Earth Elemental Nightmare Beasts was that they could no longer protect the meteorites in the air.
Originally, their presence could effectively hinder the process of human beings destroying meteorites, whether it was creating dirt blocks to confuse people, collecting and hiding meteorites, or reinforcing meteorites to make them less likely to be destroyed. This is also the purpose of the Nightmare World creating so many Earth Elemental Nightmares.
As long as they disappear, other nightmare beasts will have no proper means to stop humans. If they only rely on killing people, aren't they killing people before? Humans always have the upper hand.
After figuring this out, Su Bei's mind had already extended to how to destroy these earth element nightmare beasts. However, solving this problem would not be something that could be figured out overnight, so he was not in a hurry.
"One last question." Su Bei stretched out three fingers, "What do you want reputation for?"
Normally, Gaodi Anzhuo would not want to answer a question that involved his origin. But compared to the previous two questions, he actually felt that this was the easiest question to answer: "I need those to increase my strength and maintain my sanity and essence."
As a variant of the Nightmare Beast, Gaodi Anzhuo is not a stable product of posthumous resentment, so he naturally cannot exist stably. Because of his mutation, he will lose his mind after absorbing resentment. Although he has the power of a high-level Nightmare Beast, he will degenerate into a low-level Nightmare Beast in terms of reason.
Therefore, Emperor Gao Anzhuo developed a new method of survival that only suited him, that is, to live by absorbing reputation. They are all thoughts, resentment is also a thought, and the people's thoughts are also a thought.
However, it was difficult to get a large number of people to worship him. In the years when information was not well developed, Emperor Gaodi Anzhuo could only get people from one village to worship him, and that was only enough to maintain his basic physiological needs. Not to mention progress, it was difficult for him to even display his abilities.
Fortunately, by chance, he met the first king of the Asian-African country. He signed a contract with the other party, and the other party provided him with prestige, and he protected and escorted the Asian-African country.
Hearing the word "reason", Su Bei's eyebrows jumped. As a nightmare beast, if Gaodi Anzhuo lost his reason, then he would definitely follow his instinct to hunt humans. And his ability is related to the earth. Doesn't this just confirm Feng Lan's prediction that in the future, the landslides and cracks in the Asian and African countries?
Su Bei felt that he had almost understood where the crisis came from. The Black Flash organization wanted to destroy humanity by making Gaodi Anzhuo lose his mind. Compared with high-level nightmare beasts with other abilities, Gaodi Anzhuo, a nightmare beast that can create natural disasters, is undoubtedly more suitable for destroying humanity.
As for how the "Black Flash" organization was going to make the guardian lose his mind, Su Bei didn't think about it. This itself was not a question he should think about. What he wanted to do was already done, and he could just take it easy the whole time.
To be honest, if it wasn't too abrupt to leave now, Su Bei really hoped to return home with Zhao Xiaoyu and the others and continue his wonderful vacation.
A natural disaster that caused a landslide... His next goal in this incident was to find a hiding place that would not be affected. It would be best if this hiding place could allow him to keep an eye on the battlefield at all times so that he could appear in time when needed.
