Chapter 55
Sensing with his mental power what the man in the duckbill cap who was left alone in the cabin was doing again, Su Bei quickly adjusted the jammer and then used it.
When not causing trouble, the jammer's electronic patterns do little more than detect the other party's electronic behavior.
So Su Bei quickly heard the conversation between the man in the duckbill cap and his boss through the micro-earphones that came with the jammer.
"Yes, the Son of God hasn't contacted me yet." The man in the duckbill cap said humbly. His tone was completely different from the way he had just spoken to his subordinates with great authority.
The Son
Su Bei raised his eyebrows. If nothing unexpected happened, this Saint Son should be Mo Xiaotian. Because he had been with him before, he did not contact them.
But why does it sound so funny that Mo Xiaotian can become the Holy Son?
A very deep voice, and it was hard to tell whether it was male or female, came from the other end of the phone: "This matter has nothing to do with the Holy Son, so it's reasonable for me not to contact you to avoid exposure."
"You're right, the Son of God just needs to study hard now." The man in the duckbill cap said in agreement. Although he was not quite sure why the Son of God came to the Supernatural Academy, he knew that it must be a big mission, which was different from his petty tricks.
"The School of Supernatural Powers has already started to respond. I am preparing to arrest those students in advance."
"Well done, they will be able to break through the blockade of the alien space the day after tomorrow at the latest. Before that, I want you to capture as many students as you have watches!" The androgynous leader gave the order.
"Yes!" The man in the duckbill cap answered decisively, and then continued, "I saw that the props that the organization sent to the supernatural academy for students actually contained jammers, which may be able to interfere with electronic signals, so I'm sorry that I can't keep in touch with you from now on."
This was a very cautious approach, so the leader naturally had no objection: "Okay, the purpose of sending this to you is to let you be prepared. It's good to be careful, and I don't have anything to say..."
The moment he said this, Su Bei immediately used a jammer to connect the call to his side.
He whispered in his best androgynous voice, "Oh, one more thing."
"What's the matter?" The man in the duckbill cap did not doubt it. He certainly did not think that someone could use a jammer to affect his phone right now.
Besides, although there are some differences between the voice imitated by Su Bei and the real leader’s voice, the difference is not that big. The telephone is somewhat distorted to begin with, so this difference is almost eliminated.
Hearing that the other party had no doubts, Su Bei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. When he was young, he was very interested in this ability to change his voice, and he specially learned it from his father, but he didn't use it much after the voice change period.
I didn't think I could use it now. It turns out I should have more skills.
He continued in a calm voice, "In addition to the Holy Son, there is another hidden person in the School of Supernatural Powers. If you need help, you can seek help from him."
The "hidden thread" duck-billed man was surprised and asked, "Is he one of ours, too?"
Su Bei had no intention of joining the Black Lightning organization, so he denied it decisively: "No, I am a collaborator."
After thinking for a moment, he continued, "Put a flare in the sky and he will come here to find you. But the cost of asking him to help is very high, so it's best not to use him."
He did not reveal his identity directly on the phone. After all, Feng Lan was in the room, and who knows if she was awake or asleep. He had better be careful.
After listening to Su Bei's words, the man in the duckbill cap felt that this partner was a little unreliable. But since the boss said that he could pay for his help, it should be no problem.
The world is bustling with people all for profit, and profit is the strongest bond. Through Su Bei's few words of description, the man in the duckbill cap already had a preliminary impression of this partner: a capable businessman.
After hanging up the phone, Su Bei waited patiently for a while. After confirming that the man in the duckbill cap had indeed turned off all electronic devices, he left with peace of mind.
"Let's rest here from now on." Su Bei lay leisurely on a thick branch of a tree, five meters above the ground. The surrounding area was full of dense leaves, which could well hide his figure.
Like he said before, based on his personality, he would probably be the first one to disappear when the protagonists were in danger.
Now is a good opportunity to disappear.
Su Bei, who had already laid a hidden line for himself, did not intend to participate in this incident. He was different from the protagonists, who could always turn danger into safety, but he would really die.
As a new psychic, if he had not been afraid that there would be a good opportunity that would require his help in the future, he would have shattered the glass cover and exited the alien space long ago.
However, Su Bei guessed that the school should still have some support, and they were probably confident that the vast majority of students would not be in danger.
Otherwise, if we are suddenly faced with an invasion by a villain organization, we must first let those students who can withdraw withdraw, and then figure out how to rescue them.
After all, they are just a group of psychics who have just been enrolled for a month, and it is really not the time for them to handle the mission. It is estimated that the school also wants to use this incident to train the students, so they arranged for them to save themselves.
But even though he guessed so in his heart, Su Bei was not sure that he could definitely get through this crisis safely. Anyway, it didn't matter. Even without him, the protagonist group would definitely be able to defeat the villain. He just needed to find a safe place to hide.
I don’t know if it was because of the location he chose, but after only two hours of lying down, someone came under the tree.
The person who came was an acquaintance - Si Zhaohua.
Si Zhaohua had run all the way here, but now he was obviously exhausted. He was breathing heavily and hid behind the tree under Su Bei.
He had just dodged it a second ago, and the next second two adults in school uniforms chased after him. After all, they were adults, and their physical strength was better than Si Zhaohua, so they were not too tired after chasing him all the way.
Seeing the other party suddenly disappear, the two stopped and looked at each other.
"Are you going to keep running forward?" One of them raised his foot and was about to continue chasing forward.
The man next to him stopped him in time and sneered: "How could it disappear suddenly? It must have hidden itself."
After hearing what he said, the first person also stopped. There was a small open space in this place, and the distance between them and Si Zhaohua was not far. According to the previous speed, Si Zhaohua could not have disappeared directly.
Thinking of this, he said loudly: "I advise you not to hide, just surrender. With your status, we won't do anything to you."
Long before this action, they had already investigated several of the more famous students in the first grade, and specifically targeted the strongest ones among them.
The man who was speaking had the ability to [Forbidden Flight], which was not very strong, but was extremely targeted. Therefore, anyone with the ability to fly would be completely restrained in front of him.
The smarter one agreed, "That's right. We've captured your friends. If you don't surrender, we can't guarantee how we'll treat them."
Si Zhaohua gritted his teeth while hiding behind a tree. What they said hit the nail on the head. Ai Baozhu and Zhou Renjie might not be able to run too far. What would they face if they were caught?
But he did not go out. Si Zhaohua knew very well that if he was caught now, he would really lose the initiative. These people dared to provoke even the School of Supernatural Powers, so would they be afraid of his family?
Su Bei, who was on the tree, saw this scene but did not move. Anyway, Si Zhaohua would be fine, and he was also very curious about what would happen next.
The two men waited for a while, and seeing that no one had come out, they didn't waste any more time and started searching the small open space. Based on their efficiency, they would probably find Si Zhaohua in no time.
There was no other choice, Si Zhaohua had to tear off the invisibility talisman, make himself invisible, and then quickly left the place.
After searching for a while, they did not find Si Zhaohua, but they found traces of his movements behind the tree. Knowing that they had missed him, the two of them kicked the tree hard in frustration.
The smart one said, "It seems that he used an invisibility charm. It doesn't matter. This item can only be purchased once per person. The next time we meet him, he will be unable to escape."
"Alas, it's a pity that the watch went black after I took it off, otherwise we could just use their own things to deal with them." Another person said with great fantasy, he really wanted to have an invisibility charm. Not that he wanted to do anything with it, but mainly out of curiosity.
Invisible services are a very rare thing, and only a force with a strong foundation like the Academy of Supernatural Powers can generously release so many of them at once.
The Welfare Mall is a new feature of the Academy of Superpowers. To target them, once the watch is taken off the wrist, it cannot be redeemed through the mall, and you can’t even view it.
But fortunately, the organization had already told them in advance about the props that can be redeemed in the mall. As long as they were mentally prepared in advance, it would be difficult for them to be cheated.
Hearing what he said, the people around him laughed and scolded: "You are dreaming, you are taking others for fools!"
Moreover, if the Supernatural Academy really had no restrictions at all, they would not dare to use them. As the saying goes, no one is a fool. If they dare to use them openly, they must not be afraid of them redeeming them. Who knows if there are any traps on these props?
After saying that, she put her arm around his shoulders and the two of them left together.
After the two men left, Su Bei raised his eyebrows. He just realized that the screen would go black after the watch was taken off.
The man in the duckbill cap had said before that the reason he knew what was sold in the Welfare Mall was because members of the organization who were outside told him.
This information reveals a shocking secret, that is, there is a ghost in the school!
Moreover, since they knew what was sold in the welfare mall, they must have been a participant in the mall design. After all, Su Bei didn't believe that the academy would let so many people know about this matter. It must be an internal secret.
From this, we can see that there is not only a traitor in the college, but this traitor is probably in a high position.
No wonder the murderer who killed Sun Ming was able to sneak in. It turned out that there was a problem inside the academy.
This is definitely not good news for other people, but for northern Jiangsu, this news may not be bad, but it can definitely be used.
Thinking of this, he closed his eyes again.
Just as he closed his eyes to think, his long-lost "comic consciousness" suddenly appeared: "You don't need to be so careful."
Hearing this, Su Bei smiled and said, "You mean..."
He was asking the question even though he already knew the answer. "Comic consciousness" obviously means that he is unwilling to participate in the main storyline.
"You've figured it out yourself. No one will die easily this time. So what's there to worry about?" "Comic Consciousness" asked directly.
Apart from some ideas, most of the freshmen in Subei are open to "comic consciousness". He and the other party are now grasshoppers in the same boat, and if he has any wrong ideas, "comic consciousness" can remind him in time.
Even if the rules don't allow it, you can still hint at it.
Now that he heard what the other party said, he knew that he was right. The academy had not anticipated that they would be in danger, but at least they were prepared.
But think about it, after all, no matter how safe this place is, it is still a space full of nightmare beasts. For the safety of students, how can the school not make follow-up preparations? The watch is good, but there must be a hand in everything.
Sure enough, this came in handy.
Su Bei shook his head: "But what can I do?"
The previous individual battles have already fully demonstrated his abilities. Team battles have always been a place to cultivate relationships. If he doesn't build some ties and friendships with everyone when he participates in this plot, he will easily fall behind.
But if I do that, it won't be convenient to be so cold later on.
It’s better to stay like this now, find a place to rest and if there is really something that needs to be done, it won’t be too late to go back.
"Comic Consciousness" wanted to ask him if he didn't care much about the plot, but suddenly remembered that in the last incident, when Jiang Tianming and others were looking for the murderer, Su Bei did not participate.
Come to think of it, he really is consistent.
Suddenly, "comic consciousness" had nothing to say. People's ideas had not changed, so it naturally couldn't be persuaded.
However, there was one thing it did not remind Su Bei, and that was that, perhaps because of luck, a lot of things would happen next where Su Bei was lying.
He is destined to have no peace.
Sure enough, after a while, Si Zhaohua actually returned the same way. He was smart, knowing that this place had just been searched, and the two people would definitely not expect him to come back in a short time.
The opponent didn't know what kind of superpower it was that could prevent him from flying. Although the power of the [Angel] superpower was not based on the ability to fly, for a new superpower like him, flying was the easiest to master and the superpower that could best ensure his safety.
Now that he can't fly, his ultimate can only be used against one person. Although he can protect himself after his wings are closed, it can only prevent him from being hurt, and he will still be caught.
Besides, his current defense is good enough for first-year students, but not good enough for those powerful psychics.
"What on earth is going on?" Si Zhaohua looked at the new tasks on his watch, "Is this arranged by the school?"
"Probably not." A voice came from the woods.
Si Zhaohua turned his head like a frightened cat and saw Jiang Tianming, whom he had always disliked, coming out. Apparently, he had also lost contact with his teammates.
Seeing that it was an acquaintance, even if the relationship was not very good, Si Zhaohua couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, then frowned and asked: "How did you know?"
Jiang Tianming did not hide the truth about this question: "Did you know that a student named Sun Ming from Class F was killed in school?"
Si Zhaohua nodded: "I know."
Although the incident was not a big deal, the cafeteria was locked down after all, so many students knew about it. Moreover, because of this incident, the Si family came to check on his safety, so it was hard for Si Zhaohua not to know about it.
Seeing him nod, Jiang Tianming continued, "The murderer has a black lightning mark on the back of his neck, and I just saw the same mark on the back of the necks of these enemies."
If these people were deliberately arranged by the school to test them, there would definitely not be such a mark on the back of their necks. Obviously, the current situation is a real enemy invasion.
After receiving this answer, Si Zhaohua's face immediately darkened. This group of people dared to kill people in school, not to mention in this alien space, their situation would only be more dangerous.
"Black Lightning..." Si Zhaohua felt as if he had heard related news.
He soon remembered that as an old family of superpowers, the Si family knew a lot of inside information, and he, as the young master of the family, naturally knew some of it as well.
However, Si Zhaohua was not happy after getting the answer. Instead, his expression became even uglier: "I know who they are. They are from Black Flash."
"What is 'Black Flash'?" Jiang Tianming had never heard of this name.
Su Bei on the tree also pricked up his ears. He had also been curious about this organization for a long time. The only villain organization that has appeared so far is this "Black Flash". The imbalance between good and evil must be related to them.
Unfortunately, the comics had just been updated not long ago, and although this organization was implicated in the last case, it was not explained clearly and he got almost no information.
This time, there's someone here who knows the inside story, so at least we can talk about the general idea.
When Su Bei saw Si Zhaohua turning back, he felt bad about choosing the wrong place. After all, he was an important character and would definitely trigger the plot.
Unexpectedly, what was triggered was the plot he needed, and he immediately stopped complaining.
"'Black Flash' is a superpower organization that is said to have existed for many years. It was originally an academic organization founded by a scientist with superpowers. The characteristic of the organization's members is that they all have a black lightning symbol tattooed on the back of their necks. Later, it gradually withdrew from the public's view."
Si Zhaohua first talked about some knowledge that was easier to find, and then began to talk about the inside story he knew: "But I heard by chance once before that they seemed to be still active, but just hiding behind the scenes. At that time, the elders mentioned this organization with a very disgusting attitude, so I suspected that they were doing some evil research."
Although he was just guessing, Su Bei believed it 80%. The profession of scientist has always been particularly easy to go astray in comics. Just take the comics he read, eight out of ten have a scientist who does bad things.
You have to know that the human body has many secrets, and it is very easy for scientists to run into problems when they want to do research.
I just don't know what the "Black Flash" organization's goal is to research. According to previous experience, scientists who do big bad things are nothing more than wanting to eliminate special privileges. So Su Bei initially suspected that they wanted to make all humans awaken their superpowers, or make all superpowered people disappear.
From Mo Xiaotian's attitude, Su Bei felt that if there were really these two possibilities, the former was more likely.
But that may not be the case. How could such a conventional plot line create an imbalance between good and evil? Su Bei didn't know what comics were like in the real world, but he privately thought that it was probably similar to the world he lived in.
A well-written story always has a beginning, a middle, a middle and an end. The subject matter, the background and the characters may have some meaning, but the core is just that.
Why is it that in other stories, the righteous side always wins, but this author not only ruins the story, but also gets it the other way around! Even if you haven't eaten pork, you should have seen a pig run!
From this, it seems that he had a sudden inspiration and came up with some new setting in the comics, which led to the problem.
While Su Bei was thinking, the two people below did not stop communicating. After hearing Si Zhaohua's information, Jiang Tianming frowned: "So, they trapped us, maybe they also want to do some experiment."
Si Zhaohua thought the same thing: "I also doubt it. Human body experiments have always been prohibited, not to mention that we have supernatural powers."
Once these students are arrested, they will probably not face a good ending.
"What props did you redeem?" Jiang Tianming suddenly asked.
After a moment's pause, Si Zhaohua understood what the other party meant and raised his eyebrows: "You want to complete the task?"
If you don't want to complete the mission, there's no need to exchange the props. He knew that the other party asked this question now, probably because he wanted to cooperate.
Jiang Tianming couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "Didn't you leave either?"
All of them who have watches but don't use them, are trying to complete a special mission. If before they were just trying to get those points, now they are really trying to save everyone.
Unlike Si Zhaohua, he always speaks directly when he is not facing the enemy. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the other party is a little uncomfortable with him. However, Jiang Tianming also dislikes his pretentiousness.
But the situation is different now. They are in crisis, and they can be sure that the other party is absolutely fine. Jiang Tianming is as straightforward as ever: "No cooperation"
Hearing this, Si Zhaohua was slightly surprised. But then he thought, at this time, they really need to stick together for warmth. So he nodded slightly and reservedly: "Let's cooperate."
Su Bei, who was watching this scene from the tree, sighed in his heart and said to "Manga Consciousness": "When I read boys' comics before, I liked this kind of bond between the protagonist and his friends. If I came across a favorite, I would read it several times. I didn't expect to see the live version this time."
He had seen many classic friendships like this, where two people were at odds at first but eventually became friends. But when he saw it in real life, it still felt a bit dramatic. It really was a comic book world.
But since he went to the Supernatural Academy and knew that this was a comic book world, he seemed to have not read any shonen comics. Su Bei thought that after this was over, he would have to buy a few copies. At least he should be more familiar with the routine, right?
