Chapter 333

Everyone's expressions were brilliant, panic, fear, helplessness, anger...

Only one person laughed, but it was a cold laugh. That person was Su Bei, who lowered his head and chuckled softly.

He wondered how it could be so easy and smooth, as if everything was just a natural progression without any difficulty at all.

Waiting for him here!

Only he could see, through the screen of his mobile phone, that the destiny compasses above everyone's head had suddenly changed. Everyone's little pointer suddenly moved to the right, and the big pointers of Si Zhaohua and Wu Mingbai had even moved directly to the lower half of the compass!

Oh, and the top of his head, his big pointer went down there too.

The author actually wanted to reduce the number of protagonists in this incident and even wanted to take him offline!

Su Bei was so angry that he laughed. If only the little finger changed, it would be fine. Normally, the big finger would not change so suddenly. This time it was so sudden. Was it because they were afraid that if they revealed it in advance, their fate would be changed by him?

Under the huge impact of the news, no one noticed his abnormality. Wu Mingbai almost immediately thought of a solution: "I will finish my work first, and then come to find you. You guys hold on for a while, wait for me..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Jiang Tianming: "Even if you can know our exact location through our signal guns, how are you going to get here? With your speed, by the time you catch up one by one, we may not be able to hold on any longer."

You have to know that the nightmare beasts approaching them now must be the elites among the high-level nightmare beasts. It would be difficult for them to hold on for even ten minutes, let alone one or two hours.

"I can go pick him up." Si Zhaohua immediately said, "I can fly, so I'm faster than others. And I brought a flight accelerator and some other props that can speed up."

This is a prop specially designed for flying abilities. It can provide a boost during takeoff, increasing the flight speed by four to five times. Si Zhaohua always carries it with him.

With these props, he can get there in a short time even if the places are far apart.

After hearing this, Su Bei understood clearly in his heart. It seemed that this was how these two people died. As people in a hurry, they must have encountered more dangers. Along the way, they didn't know how many obstacles they encountered, so it was normal for them to die in the end.

As for how he died, who knows that it would be easy for the author to kill him in the chaos?

Under normal circumstances, he could have changed the pointers of the three people, although it would have consumed a lot of mental energy. But the problem was that among the three of them, there were two members of the protagonist group, and one of them was the protagonist among the protagonists.

Changing the fate of the protagonist consumes a lot of mental power. Su Bei has just used his mental power many times to change the fate of Jiang Tianming, the protagonist, and to change the fate of the Stone Forest Nightmare Beast and two high-level Nightmare Beasts. Now he has less than a quarter of his mental power in his heyday.

It was impossible to change the pointers of three people in a row. His mental strength would not be able to sustain it. Not to mention mental strength, even if all his vitality was added, it would not be enough.

Wu Mingbai alone was enough to consume more than half of his mental power. Adding Si Zhaohua, it was almost enough to use up all of his mental power in his prime. The protagonist was so terrifying. If Jiang Tianming was here, the consumption would only be greater.

If he didn't save these two people, it would be fine. He could use the remaining mental power to change his own fate without even consuming his vitality. Saving these two people, whether they would die or not, was another matter, but he would definitely pay a heavy price.

But although this seemed to be the best option for him, Su Bei was unwilling to accept it.

He laughed out loud again, but this time it was a bitter laugh. When he first entered school, he thought about not getting too close to the protagonists, because if they were tied together, they would be easily implicated.

It really was a prophecy that came true. Now he really couldn't remain as hard-hearted as before.

The author could cruelly kill the character, but he couldn't watch his classmates die like this. Although he usually seemed to be aloof, only Su Bei knew how much acting was involved.

Moreover, even if we ignore emotions and only consider reason, he doesn't think he can just sit back and watch.

"Tell me, does the author really want to kill me or test me by making such an arrangement?" Su Bei suddenly asked in his heart.

He was not surprised that he hadn't heard the voice of "Comic Consciousness" for a long time. In a big plot like this, it is normal for the other party to be blocked or unable to speak, otherwise what if the information is accidentally revealed?

The reason I asked that question was because Su Bei suddenly thought, does the author really not care about the death of the character?

The deaths of Wu Mingbai and Si Zhaohua were indeed very reasonable. Although readers in reality would definitely be extremely upset after seeing the plot, no one would think that they were killed off completely based on the plot and that the author had gone crazy and killed them off.

After all, this is a major node in the main storyline, so it is normal for the characters to die. If everyone can survive to the end of the whole comic, it would be a great comic!

But if the plot is reasonable, won't the author be sad?

Let's not talk about Si Zhaohua for now, but Wu Mingbai wrote a character for two whole seasons. Even if he is not the absolute protagonist like Jiang Tianming, he is the first person under the protagonist. The author must have invested countless efforts in him.

Does he really want Wu to understand death?

However, the above are just guesses that flashed through Su Bei's mind. Depending on whether the guesses are correct or not, two possibilities can be derived.

One is that the author arranges for the character to die here, but actually hopes that he will save others. Then he will save others and then save himself, and then perhaps the author will completely let him go.

Another possibility is that the author just wanted to kill some characters here, and Su Bei's rescue would ruin his plan. If the author's plot arrangement is ruined, he will be chased more fiercely by the opponent.

If he was faced with a choice of something else, Su Bei would definitely choose to do less. The author has arranged it this way, and if he has nothing better to do, he is courting death.

But since this matter involved the life and death of his companions, he had no choice but to hesitate.

To be honest, with his mind already leaning towards a choice, Su Bei couldn't even tell whether his analysis just now was truly rational or a reason forced upon him by emotion to save people.

Save him, there is no other way, he has to have a clear conscience.

Su Bei sighed in his heart. He accepted the fate the author had arranged for him, but only half of it. He was willing to save people, but he was not willing to die for it.

The author of "The King of Superpowers" is a jerk, but the characters he created are really lovable.

In the end, he had a way to save himself, and it was worth it to exchange the lives of two companions for a little price. Afterwards, he could go to the forum to find a way to make up for it. Maybe in the end, he didn't have to pay any price and saved two lives for free.

Thinking of this, Su Bei raised his head.

At this time, Jiang Tianming was frantically spreading out defense props and setting up formations. The Nightmare Beast army was approaching. As the last group to arrive, Wu knew that they would need to hold out the longest. If they didn't set up defenses before the Nightmare Beast arrived, they could just pack up and prepare for reincarnation later.

Seeing that Su Bei had come back to his senses, Jiang Tianming quickly asked: "What were you thinking about just now? Is there any solution?"

After discussing the plan with Wu Mingliang, Jiang Tianming noticed Su Bei, who was thinking with his head down. However, since he was obviously in a bad mood, Jiang Tianming was very considerate and did not disturb him, and quietly made the plan.

It was not until I saw him look up that I asked.

Su Bei looked at him, an indescribable complex expression flashing in his eyes.

After a moment, Jiang Tianming saw Su Bei showing an unruly smile: "Remember to apologize to me afterwards. I actually made me pay such a high price to save your lives."

The smile was a bit tired and relieved. Jiang Tianming suddenly had a premonition in his heart that he couldn't explain. He subconsciously wanted to stop Su Bei, but he didn't know why he had this idea. He raised his hand slightly, and the words stopped.

Su Bei slowly ascended into the sky, his golden hair fluttering with the energy waves coming from his hands, and a miniature gear appeared between his hands. The gear was haloed and seemed ordinary at first glance, but no one could ignore the huge energy contained in it, and the faces of the people around him changed.

At the same time, a compass array emitting dark light rose up under Su Bei's feet. The runes engraved on the array were mysterious and magnificent. As the gears turned between his hands, points of light floated from bottom to top until they converged in the gears. In an instant, the light became brighter.

However, before everyone had time to appreciate this amazing scene, they saw that at the moment when the gears emitted light, Su Bei's hair began to turn white inch by inch from the top of his head to the ends of his hair. That white was more holy than the whitest snow anyone had ever seen, but it brought death and decay.

"Su Bei!" Jiang Tianming screamed in surprise, and immediately realized what was going on, "You are consuming your vitality to use your supernatural powers!"

As expected of the protagonist, he reacts quickly. Su Bei thought in a somewhat confused state. He slowly raised his heavy eyelids and looked at the nightmare beasts that had already arrived and began to attack the defense barrier set up by Jiang Tianming. Feeling the remaining vitality in his body, he slightly raised his hand to hold the gear pendant on his chest and forced himself to cheer up: "I'll help you one last time."

The pointer turned, and the next second, most of the nightmare beasts surrounding the outside suddenly died. Su Bei used up all his vitality and used his last supernatural power.

Jiang Tianming was startled at first by the sudden fall of the nightmare beasts, and then he suddenly realized something. He hurriedly turned around to look at Su Bei again, shaking his head constantly, as if he wanted to say something.

However, before he could open his mouth, under his gaze, Su Bei quietly disappeared from the bottom to the top, until he turned into ashes and dissipated in the air.

"Su Bei!" The moment he disappeared, Jiang Tianming shouted in panic, with unprecedented panic in his eyes.

Unfortunately, there was only silence, and no more voice from Su Bei could be heard.

At this time, several people outside the mobile phone screen also reacted. Qi Huang asked anxiously: "What's the situation? How is Su Bei?"

"I... don't know." Jiang Tianming stood there at a loss. He actually had a guess in his mind, but he couldn't say it out loud no matter what.

Then he suddenly thought of something, as if he had found a life-saving straw, and quickly took out a sensor from the storage space. This sensor can sense whether a person is alive and his specific location.

Jiang Tianming had previously put the hair of every classmate in the class into it and recorded it once, so it can now sense whether Su Bei exists.

“Ding ding!”

The sensor's indicator light flashed red, accompanied by a rapid beeping sound, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Tianming's face turned pale in an instant, and he took two steps back in disbelief, muttering to himself: "I can't sense... the sensor can't sense Su Bei's existence."

Under what circumstances can the sensor fail to sense the existence of a person? Only when that person is dead.

How is it possible that Su Bei died?

Everyone else was also stunned. They guessed the truth of the matter from Jiang Tianming's expression and words.

"...He just said that he saved us because we overused our mental energy and thus depleted our vitality. But the way he was just now...he..." Qi Huang spoke incoherently, his expression more panicked than ever before.

The further she talked, the more hesitant her voice became. Qi Huang felt that Su Bei looked like he had run out of vitality and had returned to dust, but she didn't dare to say it. Even someone like her couldn't help but fear this outcome.

But even so, Qi Huang still couldn't believe it: "But how is it possible? That's Su Bei! Hasn't he always been invincible? How could he die?"

Not only her, everyone was unwilling to believe this result. As Qi Huang said, Su Bei had always been an omnipotent figure in their hearts, and they could not imagine that he would die like this.

Lan Subing's face was as pale as Jiang Tianming's. She was silent for a moment, then suddenly began to use [Word Spirit]: ""Su Bei appears"! "Su Bei survives"! "Su Bei comes back"..."

Words came out of her mouth one after another, but they had no effect. Su Bei's figure did not appear, as if he had completely disappeared between heaven and earth.

"puff--"

Excessive use of supernatural powers caused great damage to Lan Subing's body. She spat out a mouthful of blood and suddenly became weak.
