Chapter 69
"We are going down!" Jiang Tianming shouted, attracting everyone's attention.
The ten of them stepped into the quicksand together and struggled hard. They sank in just a few seconds, with only their heads remaining outside.
The quicksand avoided the head and formed a square shape, which was the embodiment of Mo Xiaotian's air block.
Seeing them trapped in the quicksand, unable to move and helpless, Qingqing and the others' eyes flickered, as if they were tempted.
Noticing their restless hearts, Su Bei raised his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes. He could ignore these people making trouble, but he would not allow them to disturb them from completing their mission.
Su Bei walked to the opposite side of Qingqing, blocking their gaze, and asked with a smile: "Sister Qingqing, you are looking at them like that, do you want to go down too?"
How could Qingqing possibly think further? She immediately shook her head and said, "No, no, I'm just curious about how they looked when they were swallowed by the quicksand."
After being interrupted by Su Bei, she gave up her previous idea. Although the appearance of those people being controlled by the quicksand was very tempting, it would be too risky to attack them now.
It is safer to do the above first.
Thinking of this, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes. After Jiang Tianming and the others disappeared in the quicksand, she winked at her teammates and Zhou Renjie.
After receiving Qingqing's signal, Zhou Renjie immediately walked towards Su Bei, saying as he walked, "Su Bei, I have something to talk to you about."
His ability requires getting close to, preferably touching, the opponent before it can be used. It is not difficult to do this when the opponent is not on guard.
However, what was unexpected was that Su Bei stretched out a hand to stop his action: "Good thing, bad thing"
This unexpected answer made Zhou Renjie stunned for a moment, and then he reacted: "Of course it's a good thing."
"You're lying." Su Bei raised his eyebrows. "Since it's a bad thing, I won't get involved."
The next second, he disappeared into the air.
"Where is he?" Zhou Renjie's eyes widened and he turned around in panic. "He suddenly disappeared. You all saw it, right?"
Ai Baozhu was also surprised: "I've never heard that Su Bei has the ability to become invisible. How come he suddenly disappeared?"
Perhaps this question reminded her, and then Ai Baozhu asked questioningly: "By the way, what is the 'bad thing' that he just said you were going to talk about?"
Hearing this question, Zhou Renjie froze for a moment, then rolled his eyes and walked towards her: "Then I can tell you."
Unlike Su Bei who knew everything, Ai Baozhu was not wary of Zhou Renjie and allowed him to approach her. Then, Zhou Renjie easily used his supernatural power to suck her into his stomach.
"Well done. Now there are two people left." Qingqing smiled when she saw this scene.
Although Su Bei's sudden disappearance just now also surprised her, fortunately the result was still similar. As long as the remaining two people were controlled, it would be useless even if Su Bei escaped.
Thinking of this, she turned her head and was about to say something, but her expression suddenly froze and her eyes widened: "How come there is only one person left?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked over and saw that one of the purple-haired boy and the white-haired boy who were standing side by side had disappeared. Now only the white-haired boy was still standing there calmly.
Gun Ge frowned, no longer as cheerful as before, and strode over with a ferocious look, grabbing Feng Lan by the collar: "Where's the one with purple hair?"
"I don't know." Feng Lan answered without any expression, "Maybe he just left."
"I don't know how you don't know!" Brother Gun wanted to say something but was interrupted by Sister Shield.
Sister Dun's expression was okay. She came over and asked curiously, "Why haven't you left yet?"
"I can't leave." Feng Lan was very honest. Although he also saw that something was wrong, he was not like Su Bei who could disappear directly, nor was he like Wu Jin who had a very low sense of presence, so it was impossible for him to sneak away under the eyes of several people.
Hearing this, Sister Dun smiled and wanted to pat his shoulder, but Feng Lan moved back and dodged. Sister Dun didn't care: "As long as you behave, we won't treat you badly. Tie him up."
Gun Ge took out a thick hemp rope from his backpack and used it to tie the person up. Qing Qing asked anxiously, "What should we do? Both of them disappeared. They will definitely go back to look for their teacher."
"Don't worry, the situation can still be salvaged." Shield Sister patiently soothed, "You and Brother Dao take them here and control them when the others come out. Brother Gun and I will rush to the door now. I have the ability to speed up, so I will definitely get there faster than them. The abilities of those two people should not be strong, so we can just block them at the door."
After hearing her say this, Qingqing was not so worried anymore and nodded: "Okay, you guys hurry up. We'll meet at the gate when the time comes. If we haven't come to the gate to look for you at night, something might have happened, so you guys hurry up then."
"Su Bei, that blond boy is really strong." Zhou Renjie suddenly spoke up. He looked at Qingqing with love in his eyes, but his words were cruel. "If it's just the two of them, they won't be able to beat him."
The four of them were stunned when this was said. Gun Ge asked incredulously: "How come we can't beat that pretty boy?"
Seeing that Su Bei had never made any move before, and even looked very pretentious, several people had fully believed that he was just there to make up the numbers in the team. After all, there were always a few laggards in every class.
The same goes for Wu Jin. Not only did this guy never make a move, he never even said a word. From the conversations of those students, Qingqing could vaguely guess that he might have gotten into this class through some kind of connection. That was even less of a concern.
As a result, when something went wrong, both of them disappeared, and one of them seemed to be playing the pig to eat the tiger. Qingqing immediately had a bad feeling: "Why do I feel like we are going to fall over?"
This time, Sister Dun also frowned, agreeing with her idea. She frowned and looked at Zhou Renjie: "Are you sure that the four of us plus you can't beat him?"
Zhou Renjie thought for a moment and answered cautiously: "Whether I can win by fighting or not is uncertain, but I will definitely not win by scheming."
That guy is someone who can see destiny, who can outsmart him? And to be honest, even if a lover sees beauty in his lover, he doesn't think these four people are that smart.
I don't know if it's because they were too weak in school. How can we really believe that the teachers didn't follow them?
Like everyone else, Zhou Renjie could naturally guess that although Meng Huai and the others had disappeared, they were definitely still watching them in some way. They were students in Class S, and several of them had strong backgrounds. If they were not watched, if something happened, the entire academy would be in trouble.
Even though Feng Lan was already tied up, Zhou Renjie didn't think he would really be controlled by others.
That's the young master of the Feng family. It's impossible for him not to use any protective gear on him. The only reason he didn't use it is because the [Prophecy] ability didn't make him feel any danger.
Forget it, he is there after all. As long as the classmates are not hurt, Qingqing will not be punished too much. Then he can beg for mercy, and make a big thing small, and a small thing nothing.
Seeing Qingqing's furrowed brows, Zhou Renjie comforted her, "But you don't have to worry too much. I don't think Su Bei will care about this matter."
"What do you mean?" Qingqing raised her head and asked in surprise when she heard that things had turned around. The others also looked over quickly, as they didn't want to lose this rare opportunity.
You have to know that these people have a bright future at first glance. If Qingqing can really control them through her special abilities, then they won't have to work so hard in the wind and rain in the future.
"Su Bei had obviously noticed our abnormality a long time ago, otherwise he wouldn't have reacted so quickly. But he didn't remind others and let Jiang Tianming and the others go. He just disappeared when I made trouble, which shows that he didn't want to get involved in this matter."
It was rare for Zhou Renjie to say these words so logically and well-reasonedly. Seeing Qingqing's expression relax, he also felt happy.
Qingqing really felt that he was right. Su Bei really didn't look like someone who wanted to get involved in this matter. She thought for a moment and asked, "Does he have a bad relationship with the rest of you?"
"You can't say that..." Zhou Renjie said hesitantly. To be fair, Su Bei probably didn't have any real enemies in Class S. "He just likes to watch the show more."
It was common knowledge in Class S that Su Bei liked to watch plays, and he would sometimes even take the initiative to lead the group. But once the curtain opened, Su Bei would generally not join in. Zhou Renjie still remembered what Su Bei had said: he liked to watch plays, but he didn't like to act in them.
What's more, they have teachers with them, so Su Bei will most likely not intervene, and if they do, it will be the teachers.
Thinking of this, Zhou Renjie suddenly became confident and patted his chest: "Don't worry, Su Bei will definitely not care."
Seeing him so sure, Qingqing felt relieved knowing that Zhou Renjie would not harm them: "Then let's do everything according to the original plan. The two of us will wait here, and you go to guard the entrance."
Su Bei, who they had been discussing for a long time, had now appeared behind a huge rock in the distance. The reason why he suddenly disappeared just now was of course because of the "Invisibility Talisman" redeemed from the Points Mall.
What a great thing! Su Bei sighed and complained in his heart: "Why don't you open a mall for me? I've worked so hard for you here."
This was said to the "comic consciousness", and the "comic consciousness" naturally understood and said helplessly: "I am just a will derived from comics, where did I get these things for you?"
Su Bei didn't believe what it said: "You are a will derived from comics, how can you not get these things?"
He had indeed just made a casual complaint just now, but if he could really get something out of the other party, that would naturally be better.
“…”
After a long silence, "Comic Consciousness" finally compromised: "How about this, I'll help you fill in the gaps, and don't say that again in the future."
"What loophole?" Su Bei asked curiously.
"Comic Consciousness" replied: "Although the 'Invisibility Talisman' of your school is very useful, some people with special powers can see through it. And the mask can also be seen through. I can help you solve these two hidden dangers, which is a great help to you."
Needless to say, this is a great help. Su Bei didn't know this before, and not knowing it would lead to passivity. If he was exposed without knowing it, it would be a big problem. After all, he used these two props mainly to communicate with the people of the "Black Flash" organization.
"Of course I count, of course I count!" Su Bei has always been flexible, and when he saw that he got some benefits, he immediately flattered, "As expected of a young man with a sense of justice, he is indeed upright and fair!"
This time "Comic Consciousness" did not respond, and I don't know if this flattery hit the mark.
Just when Su Bei was feeling delighted with this unexpected surprise, he was suddenly slapped hard on the back.
"Why--"
Su Bei wanted to shout, but he held back because he thought that he was not that far away from Qingqing and the others. He turned around and immediately showed a flattering smile on his face: "Teacher, you are here."
Meng Huai looked at him with a half-smile: "You run fast!"
"Not really." Su Bei muttered, "Wu Jin runs faster than me."
He was not lying. Wu Jin was not a fool. Because of his special ability, he discovered the problem earlier than anyone else and naturally realized that something was wrong. After telling him that Zhou Renjie also had a scent of love, he quietly left.
Even Su Bei couldn't match his speed and ability to escape. No wonder he was able to run away in front of the enemy during the team competition.
Meng Huai slapped him again without hesitation and said with a smile: "You are still trying to compare yourself with others."
After saying that, he slightly stopped smiling and said, "I don't plan to mix it in anymore."
"I don't plan to." Su Bei shook his head affirmatively.
Meng Huai was not surprised by his decision. After more than two months of getting along, he could basically tell what kind of person he was. "Okay, since you don't plan to mix it up, then come watch the show with us."
After saying this, he grabbed Su Bei by the back of the collar with one hand and disappeared from the spot in an instant.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Su Bei had already appeared in another place. This was a thatched house with no other facilities except a few chairs and a table.
Ye Lin, Lei Ze'en, and Wu Jin were all here, each holding a chair. Ye Lin and Lei Ze'en each held a 1.53-inch mirror in their hands, and Wu Jin was standing next to Lei Ze'en, looking into the mirror with a bit of awkwardness and stiffness.
Seeing them coming, Lei Zeen smiled and said, "Now that you are here, Su Bei, come and pick out the mirrors. My side shows the situation above ground, and your teacher Ye's side shows the situation underground."
As soon as these words came out, Su Bei immediately understood what was going on: "Of course, we look at the things below. What's so good about the things above?"
After saying this, he blended in very naturally, sat next to Ye Lin and looked at the mirror.
The mirror really showed the situation of Jiang Tianming and others, who were fighting against the nightmare beast. The battle scene was nothing new, so Su Bei withdrew his gaze in boredom and began to look at the mirror.
I don’t know what kind of prop this is, but it can actually see the situation on both sides.
When he first realized the purpose of this item, he was surprised. If they used this mirror to see what he did at the end of the team battle, he would be in trouble.
But then he thought, he didn't know about this prop, but Black Flash couldn't have been unaware of it. No matter how stupid they were, they couldn't have not made preparations for this. They even had props that could prevent others from entering the alien space, so how could they not have props that could prevent others from spying?
However, while he heaved a sigh of relief, he also became alert. He really knew very little about the supernatural world. Although he had not suffered any loss before, he was still careless and treated the supernatural world as an ordinary world.
Now that he has realized this, he will have to be careful in the future. At least he should not make too many moves to avoid catching someone's attention.
But it was impossible not to do anything, and he had no intention of giving up yet. Perhaps he could make use of the "comic consciousness," Su Bei thought thoughtfully. The "comic consciousness" could not reveal the plot, but it might be possible to ask it whether his actions were seen by others.
"'Close'!" Just as he was thinking, a cry of surprise suddenly came from Ye Lin's mirror.
Su Bei raised his eyebrows and looked up. Sure enough, he saw a black hole opposite Jiang Tianming and his companions, and several small nightmare snakes were crawling out from it.
This is the "closing point".
"Finally found it." Lei Zeen also noticed the movement here, "Looks like we can call it a day now."
Hearing this, Meng Huai said coldly: "How can it be that fast? There are people waiting for them up there."
Su Bei glanced at the mirror in Lei Zeen's hand and smiled. That's right, Zhou Renjie has already started to help Qingqing and the others set traps on the ground.
Qingqing, Dao Ge and Zhou Renjie were indeed setting traps. Shield Sister's shield ability was not just a surface-level one. This trap was a new use she had developed for her ability.
It mainly relies on transparent shields to form a barrier that can only be entered but not exited. Once you enter, you cannot get out. She also thought that this barrier would be broken by the people inside, so she reinforced it with two layers. Originally, Shield Sister prepared so many shields in advance to save her life, but she didn't expect that they would be used to trap people in the end.
Because they were not sure whether Jiang Tianming and his men would come out of the quicksand, they set up two traps. One surrounded the entire quicksand, and once they came out, they would fall into the trap. The other was set outside, and Zhou Renjie stood inside. As long as he called those people to him, they would also fall into the trap.
After doing all this, the four of them were very proud and felt that they were fully prepared.
Zhou Renjie knew the teachers were watching, but he couldn't tell them the truth, so he took advantage of the fact that they weren't paying attention and bowed to the air, muttering, "Teachers, please forgive Qingqing. She didn't mean any harm. She just wanted us to help her make more money."
Seeing him like this in the mirror, Su Bei burst out laughing: "I wonder how Zhou Renjie will feel when he regains consciousness and knows that we saw this scene."
Lei Zeen also grinned: "You are also a bad guy."
If he didn't take the initiative to say it, Zhou Renjie would at most know that the teachers had seen these contents, but he didn't know that Su Bei and Wu Jin had also seen them. But from what Su Bei said just now, it was obvious that he wanted to tease others.
As they were talking, Jiang Tianming and his friends, who had seen the "closed point", were also preparing to leave. As Feng Lan said, there was only one road here, so there was no need to worry about which way to go.
"Teacher, this underground space was not built by you, was it?" Looking at the environment they were in, Su Bei asked doubtfully.
The "closed point" is actually just a teleportation black hole. If it appears under the quicksand, it will be squeezed in the quicksand. Naturally, it is impossible for it to have an underground maze when it appears.
Moreover, there were not only nightmare beasts in this maze, but also various hidden weapons. Su Bei just wanted to be thankful that he had decided not to go down, otherwise he would be the one suffering now.
Seeing that he had guessed it, Lei Zeen did not hide it: "Isn't this for training you? If you don't go down, you will miss a great training opportunity."
There is no need for that. Su Bei touched Wu Jin with a fake smile and decided to let him help share the firepower: "Wu Jin, the teacher said that you missed a great training opportunity by not going down."
Wu Jin doesn't like to talk, but that doesn't mean he's a fool. Hearing this, he glanced at Su Bei in silence: "Then let's do it together..."
When he heard him ask him to go down with him, Su Bei immediately made a gesture of surrender and stopped talking.
On the ground, Qingqing and the others were getting a little impatient waiting. There was really no place to get shade nearby. There was a huge rock in the distance, but if it was too far away, it would be a big loss if they missed the chance to catch Jiang Tianming and the others. They were just basking in the scorching sun.
But to be honest, after waiting for more than an hour, Su Bei still hadn't brought anyone back, so Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief. It looked like he really had no intention of saving anyone. As for Wu Jin, Sister Dun and Brother Gun had already gone to the door to wait, so Qingqing wasn't worried.
After waiting for a while, Qingqing said happily: "I have created the second Cupid's arrow!"
Such a powerful ability can't be used continuously, it can only be used once every period of time. You can save it, but you can't accumulate too many. Qingqing had saved three arrows before, and she has used two. With the three arrows just generated, she currently has two arrows in her hand.
Brother Dao's eyes lit up with joy: "That's great, then we can control two people. Just control the two most powerful ones."
At this point, he looked at Zhou Renjie and asked, "Who is the most powerful among that group of people?"
Zhou Renjie ignored him. In his eyes, Brother Dao was a love rival. It would be weird for him to answer the questions of a love rival.
Seeing this, Qingqing reluctantly repeated her question. Zhou Renjie glared at Dao Ge, then turned around and looked at Qingqing intently. After thinking for a while, he gave a decisive answer: "The two with black hair and brown hair."
It was still what he said just now, he just fell in love with Qingqing, not lost his mind. If he told Si Zhaohua what he said, Qingqing and the others would definitely not be saved after the matter was over. After all, even if Si Zhaohua didn't care, the Si family would not sit idly by.
In fact, Zhou Renjie knew that he was being controlled. After all, if he fell in love with Qingqing from the beginning, it could be said that it was love at first sight. But it was not right that he suddenly fell deeply in love with Qingqing after meeting her for such a long time.
But his love for Qingqing allowed him to endure all this. It was just to control him and make him fall in love with Qingqing. Zhou Renjie felt that he was willing to do it. Besides, why didn't Qingqing control others but only him? Could it be that she had him in her heart?
