Chapter 54

It is known that people without watches cannot leave, so they are easily caught. Although Qi Huang is a new psychic, her psychic power is indeed very strong. With her, at least those people can be protected. If she often comes out to check because she hears something, it will be easy to be attacked from the east.

Qi Huang was not a fool. When he heard what he said, his expression became serious: "What do you mean?"

Of course, she would not think that Su Bei was mocking her for meddling in other people's business. After all, she had just helped Su Bei, and it would not be so quick to become ungrateful.

However, Su Bei did not answer her and waved his hand again: "I'm leaving first."

Seeing his back as he left in a carefree manner, Qi Huang did not stop him, but frowned as she pondered over Su Bei's words. She did not know this man, but she had specifically inquired about Su Bei's abilities after she lost last time.

Ai Baozhu told her that Su Bei's ability was [Destiny Gear], which was related to destiny...

After a moment, she stamped her feet and hurried back. Whatever the meaning of this, it was right for her to be with her teammates.

After Su Bei left, he continued to rush in the direction of the arrow. Because it had to support the activities of 200 people, this space was quite large. Unless you had the ability to increase your speed, it would take a long time to walk purely on foot.

The further southeast he went, the more Su Bei felt something was wrong. It was because he encountered too many nightmare beasts! More than twice as many as before.

It was not easy to encounter an enemy in a dense forest. He had recovered a lot of his mental strength along the way, so his detection range naturally expanded.

Therefore, Su Bei could feel that there were many nightmare beasts hiding nearby. After walking for half an hour, he found at least four of them sleeping, and he killed one himself, which meant there were five in total.

If that were all, he wouldn't find it particularly strange. After all, who knows if they have always been here and just haven't been woken up? Even if there are more of them, it's understandable, just think of this area as a difficult area.

But the problem is that the nightmare beasts he encountered were different from the ones he had encountered before.

In the past two days, I have encountered nightmare lizards, nightmare monkeys, nightmare snakes, nightmare bees... Although these species are strange and varied, they all have one thing in common, that is, they are all known for their speed.

But looking at the nightmare bear, nightmare pig, nightmare turtle he just encountered... no matter how you look at it, these creatures are definitely not good at speed.

The nightmare bear was especially amazing. Although nightmare beasts were different from ordinary animals and could not be classified according to the strength of ordinary animals, it was clear that the nightmare bear could not be a weak nightmare beast.

Before they entered the alien space, the dean said that all the powerful nightmare beasts in the alien space had been wiped out, so how could there be a nightmare bear left?

After discovering that the nightmare beasts he encountered were all speed-type, Su Bei guessed that these were deliberately left behind by the academy to improve the accuracy of the students' abilities. After all, the monthly exams were for rankings and also to help students fill in the gaps.

But the nightmare beasts they had just encountered were obviously not arranged by the academy. There was no reason for the school to arrange such strong nightmare beasts for a group of new psychics. Even Su Bei would have difficulty fighting these nightmare beasts, let alone others.

If it wasn't arranged by the academy, who else could it be? Su Bei could only think that someone was behind it.

It seems that his guess was right, and this direction was correct, otherwise there wouldn't be more and more nightmare beasts. Su Bei knew it very well, and began to move more cautiously. He put most of his mental power in front of him, trying to sense the enemy's situation in advance without being discovered.

Although he tried to avoid them carefully along the way, he still managed to provoke one or two nightmare beasts. The nightmare beasts here were not easy to deal with, and it took a lot of time to get rid of or kill them.

When Su Bei finally arrived at his destination, it was already dark. Fortunately, he had a quick dinner on the way, otherwise he would have been in trouble if he had come here hungry.

It is worth mentioning that when he went to the canteen during the few days of the monthly exam, he happened to hear the canteen aunt say that nightmare pork is tastier than most nightmare beast meat. Unfortunately, his cooking skills were completely wasted, and the good pork was not as delicious as the nightmare monkey that Mo Xiaotian made.

Another thing was very strange. For some reason, he barely met any students except Qi Huang. The previous teleportation should have been random, covering the entire alien space. Even if everyone was constantly moving, it was impossible for a large area to be completely empty.

He estimated that the mastermind might have some special ability or props that could keep students from coming here, thus preventing someone from exposing their conspiracy in the early stages. Fortunately, it was not harmful, but if a special ability had such a large range, it would be scary even if it was useless.

When his spirit sensed a small house in front of him, Su Bei crouched down and stopped. The existence of a house in such a place must be man-made. The school would not prepare this for students like them, so it must be prepared by the mastermind behind the scenes for himself.

He crouched down and moved forward carefully until the wooden house could really appear in his field of vision. His mental power could sense the general shape of the object in front of him, but he could not see the details, so he had to rely on his eyes.

There were several people in school uniforms walking around the small house. Those who were walking out were holding a small box, while those who were walking in were mostly holding a bunch of watches. Apparently, they had taken away the watches that were taken away by the mission stone tablet.

I just don't know what's in the small boxes that those people are carrying when they go out. Su Bei suspects it might be related to the increasing number of nightmare beasts.

This position was still too far away, and he couldn't even see the destiny compass above his head. But he couldn't get any closer, because if he got closer he would be easily discovered, so he couldn't treat those people as fools.

However, even from a distance, he could tell that although these people were wearing school uniforms, they were definitely not students of his school.

You have to know that in order to have a smooth individual battle, he had carefully identified everyone before. He recognized all the students in Class C, D, and F, and there was no way he would ignore Class A. Although he didn't recognize Class B carefully, he could still tell whether they looked familiar or not.

Apparently, these people wore school uniforms to make it easier to explain themselves if they accidentally ran into students, and they had no intention of revealing their intentions for the time being.

But today was already the second night, and the conspiracy would surely surface tomorrow. Before the conspiracy came to light, he had to know some things in advance.

How can I know the news I want to know?

He was not sure about the strength of these people, but he thought that they should not be too weak to get deep into the academy. Moreover, even if they were weak, he could not knock any of them unconscious. Otherwise, if one person disappeared, the others would not be alert.

Got it!

Suddenly, Su Bei's eyes lit up, and he slowly turned around and left. If he remembered correctly, he had just passed by a nightmare rabbit on his way here. This creature was of course also known for its speed, and it was not strong. It should be a native product of this alien space.

If he catches this rabbit, he might be able to make some use of it.

"Finally caught it!" Holding the black rabbit's ears, Su Bei breathed a sigh of relief.

It was also because this nightmare rabbit was not strong. Apart from its fast speed, its only advantage was its high jump. When its life was threatened by his gears, it was easily stopped.

I have to thank those fast nightmare beasts I fought before. If it weren't for their training, Su Bei might not have been able to catch this rabbit. From this perspective, the training in the academy did work.

Catching the rabbit and returning to the old place, Su Bei deliberately used the gears to make some noise in the bushes not far away.

"What's that sound!" Those with sharp ears became alert immediately after hearing the noise. In an instant, three or four people ran out of the small house, fully armed, and walked towards this side cautiously.

When they were very close, Su Bei released his control over the Nightmare Rabbit and let it jump out.

When they saw the rabbit, the group of people breathed a sigh of relief: "Hey, it turns out to be a nightmare rabbit. Take it away and have it as a snack."

They did not suspect that the rabbit was released by someone on purpose. After all, how could a group of first-year psychics catch a nightmare rabbit as a cover-up the moment they were discovered?

One of them activated his supernatural power and quickly made a rope appear, which tied up the nightmare rabbit tightly. Then he grabbed the nightmare rabbit's ears and turned back with the others, arm in arm.

The moment they turned around, Su Bei squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and finally saw the black lightning mark on the back of their necks.

Sure enough, it’s someone from this organization!

This is undoubtedly good news. After all, the conspiracy has been completed, and it is better to have an organization he is not familiar with to cause trouble. At least for now, this is the only main villain organization in this comic.

He only knew two things about this organization. One was something he discovered himself, that Mo Xiaotian was a member of this organization. The other was something he saw in the comics, that this organization had been planning a plan.

Needless to say, unless he could guess what the plan was, it was useless news. Who doesn't know that an organization has its own plan?

The former can be put to good use. If used well, he can even infiltrate the organization directly.

But you still have to have a plan, after all, the real world is not as easy to deceive as the readers. Without the protection of the filter of the dimensional wall, they will not believe everything others say.

After thinking about it, Su Bei left several trigger gears in the bushes not far from the house.

This is a new gadget he has developed. If you come into contact with the aura of someone whose fate has been predicted, there will be no problem. But if you come into contact with the aura of a stranger's fate, you will disappear.

In other words, when Jiang Tianming and others approached, they would lie there quietly. When others approached, they would automatically disappear.

This is not difficult, as long as you keep a little mental energy on it. He just tested the fate of Jiang Tianming and others, otherwise it would not be so easy to make it.

Su Bei did this just with the idea of ​​trying his luck. The protagonists would definitely come here. If they could find his gear and draw it in the comics, he could naturally lead the readers to doubt his identity.

It doesn’t matter if he can’t find it, he will have to come up with other plans anyway.

After thinking for a moment, Su Bei tentatively used his mental power to sneak into those houses, trying to sense what was inside.

This behavior is actually quite dangerous. Once there is a psychic with high-level mental power inside, his mental power will be discovered immediately.

Unlike people like him who got advanced spiritual power through cheating, others must have worked hard to cultivate, so their strength is much higher than his. Once his spiritual power is discovered, Su Bei has no chance of escaping at such a close distance.

But with the watch that could allow him to exit the space at any time, Su Bei was not too worried. After all, he had already left a foreshadowing, so exiting early was not a big problem.

The spiritual force slowly entered the house, luckily no one noticed. Apart from the few who left earlier, there were still three men in black in the room.

If nothing unexpected happened, the one with the highest status was a man wearing a duck cap. Compared with the other two, he gave Su Bei the most dangerous feeling. It was the kind of oppression that a powerful esper would give to a novice esper.

Judging from his movements, he should be talking on the intercom, while the other two are staring at something, probably a display screen or something.

There was another person tied up in the corner. If nothing unexpected happened, Su Bei guessed that this person should be Feng Lan.

If it was really him, then Feng Lan was a miserable person. She came to take the monthly exam just fine, but was kidnapped right at the beginning. She was kidnapped for two or three days, and the thought of it made her collapse.

But there was also good news, that is, Feng Lan was indeed fine. Although he was tied up, Su Bei's mental power did not feel any injuries on him. This could indicate two things: first, the enemy did not torture him, and second, Feng Lan did not surrender.

He must have some protective items on him, otherwise it would be difficult for Su Bei to understand why the people from the Black Lightning organization did not harm or even mentally control Feng Lan.

You have to know that since they were able to take Feng Lan away the moment they entered the alien space, they must have made a lot of preparations in advance. In this case, it is impossible for them to do so much and just not let Feng Lan play a role. It would be best if they could use him for their own benefit.

If not torturing him was because they didn't want to completely arouse the hostility of Feng Lan and the Feng family behind him, then it would be strange not to use mental control. After all, although this kind of supernatural power is rare, Su Bei absolutely does not believe that there is no such type in a villain organization.

Apart from that, there was nothing special in the room.

After gathering detailed information, Su Bei prepared to retreat temporarily. It was already dark, and although it was easier to do things in the dark, the enemy was obviously not stupid and would definitely strengthen their defenses. As a new psychic, he should not challenge others' defenses at this time.

As for rescuing Feng Lan, that was out of the question. This was the mission of the protagonists, and he hadn't gone to such lengths to commit suicide.

After walking for another two hours, Su Bei felt that there were not so many nightmare beasts in this place, so he started to make a fire and rest.

Lying on the quilt covered with leaves, Su Bei closed his eyes, but in his heart he was thinking about what happened this time. The Black Lightning Organization was causing trouble in the alien space, and the academy would know about it sooner or later.

After all, the frequency of students being eliminated suddenly decreased by half, and anyone who was not careless should be able to realize the problem. Moreover, he had someone tell the teacher about Feng Lan's disappearance, and the teacher would definitely start an investigation.

Although Su Bei knew very well that in this comic world, it was difficult for the school to play a role at such a critical moment. But at least after they knew about this matter, they could always provide some help to the students there.

As he thought about it, Su Bei began to feel sleepy and gradually fell asleep.

At dawn the next day, his biological clock woke him up naturally. Su Bei rubbed his eyes and subconsciously wanted to check the time on his watch.

As soon as his eyes fell on the watch, he twitched his lips. Because the watch interface was no longer the familiar screen, but a very conspicuous red warning box with a warning written in red and bold.

——"Don't hand over your watch for any reason! Please check the latest tasks quickly!"

Yesterday he was still wondering when the school would realize the problem, but he didn't expect that they would respond today. Thinking this way, he clicked on the task list and saw the latest tasks marked in red at the top.

“Special Mission 1: Find students [you know] who don’t have watches without harming their classmates, gather them in a safe place, and protect them.

Reward: 500 points/person"

"Special Mission 2: Students with watches please be careful of the strange faces that appear in the forest. If possible, please gather your classmates to cooperate and try to take them down. (The enemy is very powerful. If you can't deal with it, please break the glass cover and leave immediately.)

Mission reward: 2000 points/person"

“Welfare Mission 1: The free item store is now open. Please redeem items as soon as possible if you need them.

Mission Reward: None"

When Su Bei saw the welfare mission, his eyes lit up. The academy really started to exert its strength. It was obvious that they would not be able to force their way into this alien space for a while, so they could only use this method to help the students.

But it was good to be able to get help. Su Bei quickly returned to the main interface and saw a new icon with the words "Prop Mall" written on it.

When I clicked in, I saw that there were only ten props in total, but each one was quite useful:

"10-minute invisibility charm (limited to 1)"

"Intercom (one pair)"

"Jammer (can interfere with supernatural powers and electronic signals)"

"Fireball Talisman (limited to 5)"

"Mini Bomb (limited to 1, 37 in stock)"

"Nightmare's Disgusting Smell Powder"

"10 cubic meter storage bag (limited to 1)"

"Healing Potion"

“…”

(After leaving the alien space, you must return the items you obtained.)

In addition, there are some common props such as ropes and daggers that can be redeemed unlimitedly.

Seeing so many good things, Su Bei immediately used his hand speed to exchange a few. The invisibility charm is necessary, the jammer is also useful, five fireball charms, one bomb, and the storage bag cannot be left behind... Anyway, they are all free, so I don't feel bad about taking them.

Every time he clicks to redeem something, a small space wormhole will appear in front of him, and the item he just redeemed will be sent directly out of the wormhole.

Soon, his front was filled with props.

Looking at the pile of props, Su Bei picked up the jammer first. He had never seen such a thing before, so he needed to study it carefully before using it.

It is a black square box about the size of a human head and looks like a miniature telegraph with an antenna.

Probably knowing that students don't usually come into contact with this kind of thing, the company also considerately attached an instruction manual on it.

Su Bei read it carefully and soon understood how to use it. Simply put, by turning the button on it, it can indiscriminately interfere with signals within a radius of 100 meters, including supernatural signals and electronic signals.

If it is an interference signal, it will cause random problems with the abilities of everyone within the interference range. Some will become intermittent and unusable like a pen that won't produce ink, while others will call a horse a zebra, with what they think and what they use being completely different.

But you must pay close attention to the dial on the display. If you are about to reach the limit, you must stop the machine immediately, otherwise the jammer will crack and fail. The progress of the pointer depends on the strength of the total power.

If you just want to interfere with electronic signals, it's much easier. This item is originally a supernatural product, so it's easy to deal with electronic items.

Next he looked at the bomb, which was also a small black square box, but only the size of a palm. This bomb also came with an instruction manual when it was delivered.

The instruction manual said that this bomb could be adjusted to be a trigger bomb or a time bomb. The explosion range was small but the power was strong enough to kill people. There were also diagrams on it so that students could understand the use of the bomb more clearly.

It's clear that the school really wants students to use bombs to kill the enemy. This description is much more vivid and comprehensive than the description of the jammer.

Talisman paper is very easy to use, you just need to tear it open to take effect.

The space storage bag is a small bag that looks like a brocade bag, half the size of a palm. It is made in an antique style, tied with an elastic rope, and can be tied around the waist.

There was no doubt about the space inside, but Su Bei was curious whether such a small opening could really hold those large items. He tentatively pulled the opening of the purse outwards, and the result was like magic, it was obviously just a very small opening, but it could be pulled bigger and bigger, in the end Su Bei couldn't pull it to the end even after stretching his arms.

"As expected of a supernatural power." He sighed and quickly put the large item he just got into the bag. As for the talisman paper and other things, he just put them in his pocket for easy use.

It was still early, only six o'clock, and the others must not have woken up yet. The protagonists would probably head towards the villain's base next, so he had to seize this last bit of time to see if he could do anything else.

We returned to the cabin by the same route. We had been there once before yesterday, so this time we were very familiar with the route. I don't know if it was because of the new mission issued by the school, but there were a lot of people in the cabin at this time, as many as ten.

The man in the duckbill cap, who he thought was the leader yesterday, was speaking. After a while, he waved his hand and everyone came out.

This time they didn't have anything in their hands, but they were full of energy. Even from a long distance away, Su Bei could still feel that these people were very excited.

What are they going to do? It’s definitely not to recycle watches like they did yesterday. The situation is completely different from yesterday.

Su Bei had a guess in his mind. Perhaps the news from the academy had aroused the vigilance of these people - they were going to take a tough approach.
