Chapter 56
After Jiang Tianming and the other man reached an agreement, they did not leave, but discussed countermeasures under the tree. Seeing that they had no intention of leaving, Su Bei suddenly had a headache.
Who doesn't know that where there is a protagonist there will be a plot? He originally wanted to go through this plot line peacefully, but who knew that now he is in a difficult situation.
As he expected, there would be no peace where the protagonist was. After a while, they were found by the enemy. However, this person was not the one who had been chasing Si Zhaohua before, but a stranger.
The other party has short dark purple hair that fits the identity of a villain. She is wearing a black tights. If you only look at her eyebrows and eyes, you will feel that she is very gentle. However, the lower half of her face shrinks rapidly into an oval face, and with those flaming red lips, one can immediately feel that she is a femme fatale.
This is also a good thing in the comic world. Except for a few undercover agents, the appearance of good guys and bad guys is generally very distinct.
"Wow, look what I found, two little mice!" She looked at Jiang Tianming and the others with a playful look, "Are you ready to be caught by me?"
As she spoke, the woman activated her supernatural power, and a two-meter-long snake-skin whip suddenly appeared in her hand: "If I whip you with this whip, it will leave scars on your body, and it will disfigure you if I whip you on your face. You two are so beautiful, I really can't bear to let you go~"
Her tone was gentle, but her expression did not hide her viciousness: "If you surrender directly, I can be gentler."
Surrender was obviously impossible. Si Zhaohua sneered and spread his wings: "You can't afford to let us surrender!"
After saying that, he picked up Jiang Tianming with one hand, flapped his wings and flew him to a tall tree. He could actually fly higher, but if he flew too high and was seen by others, it would easily attract more enemies.
Jiang Tianming was suddenly forced to fly: ""
He wasn't afraid of heights, but he felt dizzy when he suddenly flew into the sky. He shouted in surprise, "What are you doing?"
"To save you!" He asked even though he knew the answer! Si Zhaohua glared at him unhappily, feeling that he and this man were indeed not on good terms.
He thought clearly that the purple-haired woman's whip had a long attack range and it was easy to be hit on the ground. Although he didn't know the opponent's strength, it would definitely be uncomfortable to be hit. So it would be better to fly directly into the air so that the whip could not touch them and get rid of them once and for all.
"Then you should have told me in advance." Jiang Tianming finally stopped dizziness. He knew Si Zhaohua had good intentions, but that didn't stop him from arguing with him. "Can you please not let me fall?"
"I can't do that." Si Zhaohua sneered, "I'll just throw you down."
"You two seem to be quite oblivious to the people around you." The purple-haired woman laughed angrily, but she was also knowledgeable and immediately recognized Si Zhaohua's ability. "Angel, I didn't expect that I caught a big fish."
As the young master of the Si family, Si Zhaohua was a key target, and those who participated in this operation also knew about the existence of such an individual.
Although the organization specially arranged several people to catch him, if others can catch him, they can also get extra rewards, and the reward is not cheap. I didn't expect that I was so lucky that I could meet him.
Thinking of the reward she would get after catching Si Zhaohua, the purple-haired girl smiled sweetly: "You fly so high, do you want me to be unable to reach you?"
As she spoke, she swung the whip towards them. The whip, which was originally only two meters long, suddenly grew longer and headed straight for Si Zhaohua.
Si Zhaohua, who had not expected the whip to grow longer, changed color and flapped his wings quickly, barely dodging the attack. But his wings did not have any speed advantage, and if he continued, something would definitely go wrong.
When the whip came over, there was a distinct sound of breaking through the air, which made one's teeth ache. It took the opportunity to hit the tree, and it actually directly made a deep wound on the trunk. If it happened again, I'm afraid the tree would be broken. It was enough to show how strong the attack was.
Jiang Tianming had fought with Si Zhaohua before, so he could understand the situation clearly and said immediately: "Attack!"
Only by attacking as defense can there be a glimmer of hope.
"Why don't you say that?" Si Zhaohua retorted, and indeed began to launch a feather attack.
Although there was no cooperation, Jiang Tianming very naturally used [Control Object] to control the feathers that he had released to attack once, and manipulated them to attack a second time.
Because he was still a newcomer and his mental strength was not strong, Si Zhaohua's control over the feathers was just average. He could control them a little, but not as he wished. At most, he could make a boomerang.
Now that Jiang Tianming was helping him, he felt much more relaxed. The two of them controlled the feathers, and their attack styles increased significantly.
The purple-haired woman's whip was a long-range attack, so it was not very effective against such a large number of hidden weapons. Although it could knock down a large number of them, it was still a big deal because there were so many of them.
"What a perfect match." The purple-haired girl looked at the scars on her body, pulled out a few feathers, and her expression darkened.
You have to know that these two are just new superpowers. If she can't even beat them, then it would be a real disaster. She will be laughed to death when she returns.
Thinking of this, she did not stop. She originally thought that the young master of the Si family might be taken back by the organization and treated well, and it would be bad if she hurt him. But it was obvious that she underestimated them. The problem now was not whether they could be hurt, but whether they could be caught.
After the purple-haired woman made up her mind, her attacks suddenly became much more powerful. The two who were originally able to attack instead of defend, now could only flee in all directions.
They have returned to the ground. After all, they cannot stop the opponent's attack in the air, and they are slow to dodge. It is better to be more flexible on the ground.
Previously, Si Zhaohua had closed his wings immediately when the whip came, but after a few times, the purple-haired woman started to use the whip to try to tie him down. After finally breaking free, Si Zhaohua immediately flew down with Jiang Tianming. It was better to escape than to wait for death up there.
The villains certainly had no idea of protecting the environment, and this was a different dimension. So the purple-haired woman swung her whip recklessly, sweeping the surrounding vegetation, and nearly whipped Jiang Tianming and the others several times.
Jiang Tianming and his men could only do their best to attack while dodging. They also realized that they probably couldn't hurt the purple-haired woman for the time being, so they could only attack her abilities. The whip looked very thin, so the two of them took turns using the feathers to attack a specific point.
Even if it is a supernatural product, it still has to follow the laws of physics. Since the whip is a physical object, it is definitely possible to be damaged.
Feeling the damage from the whip, the purple-haired girl was very upset and could only increase the intensity of her attack. At the same time, she secretly decided in her heart that she must practice physical skills well after returning.
Previously, because her whip was a relatively long-range attack, she did not practice her physical skills carefully, and now she has finally reaped the consequences.
If she dared to attack at close range, those two people would never be so arrogant!
But there were only two of them, sharing her attack. If there was only one person, the purple-haired woman would have caught him by now.
She did think of calling other people over, and then they would both be dead. But would she still have the dignity to ask for help from two first-year psychics?
Therefore, the purple-haired woman kept holding on. As long as she could wait until the two men's physical or mental strength was exhausted, she would be the final winner.
Su Bei was watching from a tree and felt that their fight was like skipping rope, which was quite interesting.
Jiang Tianming and Si Zhaohua really cooperated well with each other. It was obvious that there were two people controlling one person's supernatural power, but not only did it not affect each other at all, but they were able to inflict multiple times the damage. It was completely an effect of 1+1>2.
Having said that, fighting with real psychics is still more interesting. During the previous individual battles, everyone fought as if it was a joke. Although it was novel, it was not pleasing to the eye. Only the last day's competition was a little interesting.
The previous battles with those nightmare beasts weren't very interesting, probably because they were all low-level nightmare beasts. They didn't know how to use their abilities and just relied on instinct. So it looked ordinary.
This time the battle was very different. It was powerful and the scene was exciting. He enjoyed watching the show.
Perhaps it was because of excessive joy that came upon him sorrow. Just as Su Bei was thinking about putting some melon seeds in his pocket, the whip swung and actually cut off more than half of the tree he was sitting on.
When the whip came, Su Bei, who was sitting on a tree branch, got startled. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and took a big step back, so he was not hit.
However, because the leaves were knocked off, his figure appeared completely in front of everyone present.
Su Bei: "..."
Jiang Tianming: “…”
Si Zhaohua: “…”
Purple-haired girl: “…”
For a moment, the air seemed to be still, and everyone's eyes were filled with confusion. It's obvious that everyone's mind is full of questions.
No one would have thought that a fight could yield an Easter egg: Why is there still someone here?
Su Bei pulled the corner of his mouth, knowing that he should hurry up and make up for it. He suppressed his embarrassment, tried to put on a smiling expression, and looked at the purple-haired girl jokingly: "Oh, I was discovered."
After saying this, he conjured a gear in his hand, lowered his head and casually turned the gear lightly, then let go and let it disappear.
"Who are you?" The purple-haired woman looked at him warily but did not dare to move.
Although judging from the school uniform Su Bei was wearing, he should also be a first-year student participating in the competition. However, after seeing her offensive power, the other party could still say such a thing, which made her have to be cautious.
As luck would have it, at the same moment the gear disappeared, a leaf slowly fell from the sky. Because everyone's attention was on Su Bei, no one noticed this. The leaf slowly floated down and landed on the purple-haired woman's weapon.
At the same time, Su Bei snapped his fingers.
The next second, the sound of a rubber band snapping was heard, and the whip suddenly broke!
"puff--"
The supernatural power was severely damaged. Before the purple-haired woman could even be surprised, she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and passed out with black vision.
Standing on the tree trunk, Su Bei looked down at the scene, his purple gemstone eyes full of teasing: "What a good show."
Jiang Tianming was stunned, and Si Zhaohua also opened his mouth in a rare and ungracious way. The enemy they had tried so hard to evade was easily defeated by Su Bei.
This made Si Zhaohua, who had defeated Su Bei, inevitably wonder if Su Bei was hiding his ability during the individual battle. If he had used this ability at that time, how could he win?
But they would not have thought that Su Bei, who seemed to be in control of the situation at this time, was actually greatly relieved in his heart.
When they were fighting just now, he was of course not just a spectator, he was also using his special abilities to observe the compass of fate above their heads.
From the moment Jiang Tianming and Si Zhaohua found a way and focused on attacking one position of the purple-haired girl's whip, the pointer of the fate compass above her head began to gradually shift to the right.
Of course, the pointer on her head was tilted to the right from the beginning. After all, she was against the protagonist, how could she possibly win?
And when Su Bei was found, the pointer was almost at the end. In other words, the purple-haired woman was almost losing.
Seeing their fierce fight earlier, Su Bei seized the opportunity and used his mental power to control the gears to install them on the groove of the compass above her head. It was not to help Jiang Tianming and the others, but mainly to be prepared. As expected, it came in handy.
At that time, he directly activated his supernatural power and used the gears to move the pointer above her head a little to the right. Sure enough, the purple-haired woman lost immediately.
Needless to say, he himself thinks this wave of his is very handsome.
But even without him, Jiang Tianming and his men could achieve the same effect by attacking a few more rounds.
Now the two of them were still staring at him blankly. Su Bei sat down again, with one leg bent and the other leg hanging down. He raised his head slightly and said, "Why are you just standing there? Why don't you tie her up?"
Jiang Tianming and Si Zhaohua finally reacted and quickly tied up the purple-haired girl tightly with the rope they exchanged from the prop store.
It is worth mentioning that the kidnapping was done by Jiang Tianming alone. In the first season of the comics, he often did this kind of thing, and now he is very familiar with it.
Seeing how skillfully he did it, Si Zhaohua had a complicated expression and opened his mouth to ask something, but ultimately did not ask.
Compared with Jiang Tianming's little flaw, the one who really makes people wonder is Su Bei. Thinking of Su Bei, Si Zhaohua's expression became really complicated.
He folded his wings and looked towards Su Bei hesitantly. After thinking for a while, he asked the simplest question: "Why are you here?"
Good question. Why did he choose to be here? Su Bei didn't understand. He just wanted to find a place to rot, but how could he be so lucky to choose the place where the plot took place in such a large alien space.
Complaining in his heart, he smiled innocently: "Who knows? I just came here to sleep."
There is no doubt that no one believed this truth; they just thought he didn't want to say it.
"Then why did you suddenly take action if you didn't do it before?" Si Zhaohua asked again. He had already seen that Su Bei probably didn't want to help.
Hearing this, Su Bei replied nonchalantly: "You will have to pay the price for disturbing me from watching a play."
After dragging the tied-up purple-haired woman under the tree, Jiang Tianming walked back and said, "You just changed her fate."
Unlike Si Zhaohua, Jiang Tianming, who was in the same class and team, obviously knew Su Bei better. Through the incident with Wu Jin, he had guessed that Su Bei had the ability to change his fate.
But he had never expected this ability to be so strong. The purple-haired woman was obviously a mature psychic, but she was defeated in the first encounter with Su Bei. He didn't even see how the whip broke.
That's right, neither Jiang Tianming nor Si Zhaohua noticed the leaf. After all, when their attention returned to the whip, the whip had already broken, and the leaf had already fallen silently to the ground.
From their perspective, it was Su Bei turning the gears, and then the purple-haired woman's whip broke. The two of them had no idea that the reason why Su Bei could break the whip so easily was closely related to their previous continuous attacks.
But he did change the fate of the purple-haired girl, so Su Bei raised the corner of his mouth, pinched his index finger and thumb, and gestured: "A little bit."
It was indeed only a little bit, he just slightly accelerated the process of the whip breaking. Even his mental strength was not consumed too much, otherwise Su Bei would have turned pale by now.
It's a pity that no one believes the truth these days. Si Zhaohua said speechlessly: "No matter how you think about it, it's more than one point! Speaking of which, during the personal battle, did you let it go? Did you not use this ability?"
With the ability that Su Bei just showed, even if he had the "Holy Light Judgment", he had no confidence that he could win. After all, this ability to change other people's fate was too weird and he couldn't understand it at all.
At least Si Zhaohua knew very well that if Su Bei had changed his fate, that gear would have definitely hit his fatal neck, causing him to fail before he could unleash his ultimate move. After all, it was only a little bit off at the time, and it was not an exaggeration to say that fate played a little joke on him.
But he could understand it, after all, this ability was too powerful. If Su Bei just wanted to use the monthly exam to show his normal strength other than the power of cheating, to fill in the gaps, then it was normal not to use this ability.
etc.
Si Zhaohua suddenly realized a problem. If Su Bei could change his fate so that the gears could touch his neck, then he could definitely change his fate so that the gears could avoid his neck.
Thinking of this, he was suddenly shocked, and asked angrily and a little aggrieved: "You didn't deliberately let the gear avoid my neck at that time, did you?"
It's no wonder that he behaves like this. Si Zhaohua is a person who cares a lot about winning or losing. After all, he has always been the winner since he was a child, and his family's education also requires him to win.
He had narrowly won the match against Su Bei by relying on his ultimate move. He just found out that the opponent also had special skills, but they were useless in individual battles. So he silently compared the two men's abilities excluding their special skills in his mind, and felt that they should be evenly matched.
After all, although Su Bei almost won, he missed the target. Even if he didn't have a big move, he still had the strength to fight and might not lose.
As a result, I just realized that even if neither of them cheated, it is very likely that Su Bei would win. He might have missed the target on purpose!
Why do you think so too? Su Bei really didn't understand Si Zhaohua's train of thought. It's fine if comic readers think he is letting the game go, after all, they always have their own ideas. But how can Si Zhaohua still think so?
Su Bei didn't know how to answer for a moment. If he denied it, it would be a bit embarrassing. If he admitted it, it would easily make the other party angry. After thinking about it, he chose to use the universal reply: "Guess"
Si Zhaohua: “…”
His face darkened immediately. To him, this meant admitting it: "If you don't want to win, why did you fight me? Just admit defeat in the beginning, or you might as well not take the monthly exam!"
Obviously, Si Zhaohua was very angry. He attached great importance to the game and winning or losing, so he naturally felt that Su Bei's deliberate failure was an insult to both the game and himself.
In fact, if a stranger did this, Si Zhaohua would definitely not care. But Su Bei was a friend he recognized after he led two people to fight, and his behavior made Si Zhaohua feel like a fool.
Su Beiren was inexplicably accused and was dumbfounded. He always felt that something was wrong. Shouldn't this be a plot between the other party and the protagonist? How did this plot fall into his hands?
But he wasn't angry, Su Bei could more or less understand him. If he met someone who deliberately teased him, he would definitely be angry.
It goes without saying that this content will definitely be drawn into the comics. Su Bei's brain was spinning rapidly, and he began to look for the best way to deal with it.
Smile and pass it by easily
But doing so would certainly make Si Zhaohua even angrier, and could even lead to a breakdown in their relationship. This was not what Su Bei wanted. His conflict with another supporting character would not add anything good to his character, but would only bring him trouble.
Turn away coldly
There will still be a quarrel with the other party, and he himself does not like this way of dealing with it. In Su Bei's view, the long mouth is for explanation.
Although I was thinking so much in my heart, in reality, only two seconds had passed. Knowing that I couldn't remain silent any longer, Su Bei looked at Si Zhaohua and said, "Are you unhappy with the fight?"
Upon hearing this, Si Zhaohua was speechless for a moment.
He couldn't give a negative answer to this question, after all, it was really fun to play at that time.
The match with Jiang Tianming also lasted a long time, but he was absolutely dominant throughout the match. It was not so much that Si Zhaohua lost to Jiang Tianming's ability, but rather that he lost to his opponent's persistence.
Unlike Su Bei, the two of them kept attacking each other. When he was at home, the people who practiced with him either crushed him or let him go. After coming to school, he didn't meet anyone who could beat him.
It was not until the fight with Su Bei that Si Zhaohua felt completely satisfied, otherwise he would not have completely changed his attitude towards Su Bei after the battle.
Hearing him say this, Si Zhaohua's expression eased a little, and he nodded after a moment's silence.
Su Bei raised his lips and said, "Me too, that's it."
Just before he spoke, he finally figured out why Si Zhaohua was angry. On the surface, he was angry because Su Bei didn't care about winning or losing, but in fact, the real reason he was angry was probably because he thought Su Bei was teasing him.
So Su Bei also explained this point, and his meaning was very clear, he valued the process rather than the result. He also played very happily, so he didn't tease him at that time.
As expected, Si Zhaohua felt less angry. He cared about winning or losing, but he didn't ask others to care about it. Knowing that Su Bei was fighting seriously and had the same idea about the battle as he did, he felt relieved.
But Si Zhaohua still didn't understand: "But why don't you want to win?"
"Sometimes victory is not necessarily a good thing." Su Bei gave a meaningful answer.
