Chapter 70
Because his brain still existed, Zhou Renjie knew very well that if Qingqing controlled powerful people like Si Zhaohua and Feng Lan and made them lose face, then even he would not be able to protect them afterwards.
So he could only say reluctantly that Jiang Tianming and Wu Mingbai were the most powerful. Even though controlling them would mean having two more annoying rivals, it was better than having Qingqing's life threatened.
In the thatched house.
"Can this part be replayed?" Su Bei's eyes were full of interest. "Jiang Tianming and Wu Mingbai would definitely be very happy if they saw that Zhou Renjie actually thought so highly of them."
As the class teacher, Meng Huai was not quite clear about the twists and turns between them, but he could still see that the two sides were not treating each other well.
Hearing this, he glared at Su Bei, who was eager to create chaos in the world, and said, "Behave yourself, or I'll throw you out into the maze."
Su Bei made a zipper gesture with his mouth and then made an OK gesture.
The plot on the ground has not stopped yet. After getting Zhou Renjie's answer, Qingqing has a plan in mind. She glanced at Feng Lan from the corner of her eye and suddenly frowned: "What kind of supernatural power does this guy have? Do I need it..."
"No need!" Zhou Renjie interrupted her before she finished her words. Who is Feng Lan? She must have a lot of protective gear on her.
In the previous team competition, he was captured by Black Flash so early, but he was fine afterwards.
And most importantly, if he couldn't control Feng Lan, it would be fine. But if he succeeded in controlling her, the Feng family might not let Qing Qing live. Even if she lived, he would definitely not see Qing Qing again.
After hastily denying it, he calmed himself down and said, "His ability is useless, and I am not strong either, so don't waste your time on him. If you can't control the brown-haired and black-haired guys later, I'm afraid the plan will fail."
Hearing him say this, Qingqing, who was sure that Zhou Renjie would not cheat her, immediately gave up her previous attention: "Forget it, just knock him out directly, so that he won't make a sound later and scare others."
Zhou Renjie didn't dare to let her knock the other person out, so he immediately said, "I'll do it, I'll do it!"
After saying that, he walked to Feng Lan's side, pretended to give him a knife, and whispered in his ear: "Pretend to be unconscious for a while."
Feng Lan didn't make things difficult for him and obediently closed his eyes.
Watching this scene in the mirror, Meng Huai said with a half-smile: "He is quite smart."
Knowing that he was talking about Zhou Renjie, Ye Lin sighed, "What a bad luck! You guys are not allowed to tease him about this afterwards."
There was no movement on the ground for the time being, and the underground journey was coming to an end. Jiang Tianming and his companions reached the end of the road and successfully climbed out from a hole, using Mo Xiaotian's air block as a cushion.
The place they came up from was not too far from the quicksand, but it was not visible at a glance. Once they arrived in the desert, Mo Xiaotian looked around: "So that's where the quicksand is. We won't be able to find Brother Bei and the others, right?"
"I can fly up high and take a look." If they are not too far away, it will be easy to find them by looking down at the ground from high up.
"That's too conspicuous. If someone sees it, they might come over." Wu Mingbai shook his head, "I brought a compass."
He took out his compass and easily found the north. But knowing the north was not enough, they also had to know the exact location of the quicksand.
After recalling the past, Jiang Tianming said confidently: "Come with me. If the direction we fell was directly below the quicksand, then I should be able to find the location of the quicksand."
After saying that, he strode out.
After a while, they saw Zhou Renjie and the others. But what was puzzling was that there were only five people left out of the nine who were supposed to be on the ground, and only one of them was from the Academy of Supernatural Powers.
The abnormal situation calmed down the excitement of the few people who had originally completed the mission. Si Zhaohua asked Zhou Renjie loudly: "Where are Baozhu and the others?"
Zhou Renjie answered naturally, "They went to the restroom. Sister Dun and Baozhu went together."
Hearing this, Si Zhaohua breathed a sigh of relief. He was a little worried that Ai Baozhu would be in danger if she left alone, but with a shield sister who could defend her, he didn't have to worry so much.
No!
Suddenly Si Zhaohua realized a problem. Given Ai Baozhu's obsessive-compulsive disorder, would she really go to the toilet here?
As far as he knew, in order not to lose this person, Ai Baozhu, who always loved drinking water, only drank a mouthful of water from the moment she entered this alien space.
Si Zhaohua didn't believe it, but he didn't understand why Zhou Renjie would lie to him.
Zhao Xiaoyu also didn't believe it. She didn't think Wu Jin was the type who would go to the toilet with someone else.
Everyone looked at each other and had a plan in mind.
Wu Mingbai poked Mo Xiaotian, who still didn't see anything, and said, "You go in front."
This was either because he hadn't deliberately set Mo Xiaotian up, or because compared to the others who had already guessed that there was a problem, Mo Xiaotian's performance, who was still confused, must have been the most normal.
Hearing this, Mo Xiaotian seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then he walked to the front obediently. He walked towards that direction enthusiastically and greeted Zhou Renjie: "We found it! We can go back next!"
Zhou Renjie said nothing, but just called them over. After all, he liked Qingqing, and he couldn't betray her and expose the conspiracy directly, otherwise Qingqing would dislike him. Even if he was doing it for Qingqing's good, he still had to consider Qingqing's own feelings.
Qingqing beside him smiled and said, "How was your harvest down there? You got so many nightmare beasts before. If you can get some more, you can definitely sell them for a good price when you go back."
"I also need to go to the bathroom, where did they go?" Zhao Xiaoyu asked.
Qingqing's expression froze for a moment: "I don't know where they went, but they should have found a hidden place. We'll know when they come back and ask them. Just bear with it for now."
Hearing this, Zhao Xiaoyu looked at her thoughtfully, then looked at Zhou Renjie: "Why are you holding your stomach all the time? Do you want to go to the toilet too?"
"No... well, a little bit, let's go back later." Zhou Renjie was a little embarrassed by this question, and he put his hand down helplessly. To be honest, he was not sure whether Si Zhaohua and the others had discovered the abnormality, but he always felt that there was something wrong.
Qingqing also suspected that they had discovered something because they were reluctant to come over. But she didn't dare to say more. After thinking about the countermeasures, she decided to lower their vigilance first, otherwise it would be difficult to succeed with so many people.
If it really doesn't work, she will just jump into the quicksand and escape, and not have to worry about these free fighters. Since these people can get out from under the quicksand, then she can definitely do it. And once they jump into the quicksand after her, they will immediately be trapped by the traps they set around the quicksand.
This is the advantage of setting two traps, not so passive. Qingqing took the initiative to leave the original trap location, walked to the quicksand, lowered her head and looked down, with a very natural look: "You just went down like this, what is it like under the quicksand?"
Jiang Tianming and others did not dare to make any alarm, because who knew where these people had hidden Ai Baozhu and the others? Two people in their team had disappeared. If they caught Qingqing and Dao Ge, it would be troublesome if those two people ran away with their friends.
With this in mind, they walked over quickly, but tacitly avoided the small area where Qingqing and the others had just stood. Lan Subing even kindly pulled the heartless Mo Xiaotian to prevent him from going over.
Jiang Tianming and the others naturally didn't know that Qingqing and the others had set a trap, but they knew without thinking that if there was really a conspiracy waiting for them, then Qingqing didn't leave because she wanted to catch them all in one fell swoop.
Although the means are unknown, it is always better to stay away from them.
However, Si Zhaohua really didn't understand what was going on with Zhou Renjie, so he walked over and stood next to him, hoping to get an active explanation.
Zhou Renjie patted his belly, gave Si Zhaohua a look, and smiled bitterly.
When he left Su Bei, he put Ai Baozhu in as soon as possible. One reason was that his rationality had not yet fully returned to his mind, and his mind was full of obedience to Qingqing's arrangements.
Secondly, letting Ai Baozhu go in would at least be safer. Just now, Ai Baozhu and Qingqing had some conflicts, and he was afraid that Qingqing would do something and he would be unable to remedy the situation.
Seeing his actions, Si Zhaohua reacted, suddenly widened his eyes, and looked at him in shock. Ai Baozhu wouldn't be in his stomach. Zhou Renjie was going to die!
Zhou Renjie maintained a wry smile. He had no other choice. This was the best way. As for whether Ai Baozhu would go crazy afterwards, that would be a matter for later.
Thinking of this, he secretly made a gesture to everyone, indicating that they could take action directly. He couldn't hurt Qingqing himself, and he couldn't be a traitor and destroy his image in Qingqing's mind. He could only rely on his teammates.
After Qingqing is caught, he will plead for her.
Watching their actions in the mirror, Su Bei shook his head in regret. It's meaningless. It's really meaningless knowing that the teachers are here.
Meng Huai and the others thought so too. Originally, they were quite happy that Jiang Tianming and the others encountered such an evil-minded enemy, as it could help these students gain some experience.
But it is obvious that their presence has greatly reduced the danger level of the enemy.
"Let's not follow them tomorrow," Meng Huai spoke up first, deciding to adjust the training plan, "Let them experience it on their own."
As soon as these words came out, Ye Lin stood up and rejected the proposal: "That's too dangerous. What if something happens to them?"
Meng Huai sneered: "There is no such thing as a person with superpowers who is not dangerous. If we follow them like an old mother, it will take them a long time to grow up."
"I won't say anything else, just talk about the family behind Si Zhaohua. If anything happens to them, even if you can deal with it, the academy will not agree." Ye Lin asked calmly, bringing up the most important issue.
However, Meng Huai was a reckless man, he leaned back and said: "Haven't you heard that when a general is on the battlefield, he is not subject to military orders?"
"You!" Ye Lin was furious.
"Stop arguing." This time, Lei Zeen was the peacemaker. "Why don't we go back and get them to sign a waiver agreement? If they don't sign, we'll just continue the training. If they do sign, we'll let them do it themselves."
Su Bei chuckled as he watched them quarrel and discuss. They were acting with him, but it was a little fake.
Putting aside other things, just to say that Teacher Ye Lin is not someone who gets angry easily. This brief quarrel looked real, but in the eyes of Su Bei, who was already proficient in acting skills, it was full of loopholes.
What is the point of putting on this act? To make him believe that the teacher really doesn't care about them.
Thinking of this, Su Bei raised his eyebrows and chose to go along with their ideas: "I think what Teacher Lei said is a good idea. After signing the contract, the teachers don't have to follow us anymore."
Hearing him say this, a smile flashed in Meng Huai's eyes. He didn't care whether Su Bei saw through their acting or not, as long as he understood the meaning.
Lei Zeen nodded in satisfaction: "As long as you understand, I will announce this news tomorrow, but don't tell anyone else."
He emphasized the last sentence, Su Bei curled his lips and said nothing.
Soon the dust outside settled. Qingqing and Daoge were tied up. Zhou Renjie also pretended to be tied up and released Ai Baozhu.
As soon as Ai Baozhu came out, she went crazy: "Ahhh! Zhou Renjie, you want to die! I'm going to kill you!"
Si Zhaohua was quick to stop her, otherwise Zhou Renjie would have been in danger of losing his life. Si Zhaohua tried to comfort him, "It's okay, just go back and take a shower. He also... cough, he also had his reasons."
"I want him to die for a reason!" Ai Baozhu struggled desperately, and the domain was opened.
Lan Subing and other girls beside him also stepped forward to comfort him: "Don't be angry, if you delay any longer, you will get wet."
These words really caught Ai Baozhu's soft spot. If the mucus really got on her body, it would be so disgusting! Thinking of this, her body froze and she stopped talking.
Jiang Tianming said loudly: "Teacher Meng, it's time for you to come out."
"Didn't you say that you didn't have a teacher?" Hearing his words, Qingqing looked at Wu Mingbai in shock, then turned around and looked at Zhou Renjie accusingly.
Zhou Renjie immediately pretended to be innocent: "I didn't know the teacher was following us. The teacher did leave before and told us to explore on our own."
Of course he couldn't tell Qingqing that he not only knew about it but also cheated her several times. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been discovered and caught so easily. Otherwise, his image in the eyes of the people he likes would plummet.
Seeing that he looked clueless, Qingqing could only secretly curse him for being stupid. The teacher's words were obviously meant to deceive the students, but everyone else saw through it, except him.
It was her bad luck that out of so many people, she was the only one chosen.
With Mo Xiaotian's "Teacher is following us" in the background, Meng Huai and others appeared directly next to the crowd.
Ye Lin first walked over to Zhou Renjie and checked him. She was relieved after confirming that he was probably fine and was just bewitched. Then she took out a bottle of lavender medicine from her bag: "This is the 'Sobering Spring Water' developed by my supernatural power. Drink it."
Everyone looked at Zhou Renjie. People like Si Zhaohua who were not on the ground naturally had no idea what had happened to the other party that made him behave so strangely.
Now after hearing what the teacher said, I finally understood. It seemed that he was being controlled, but why was it that Zhou Renjie was clearly being controlled, yet he looked like he was both being controlled and not being controlled?
Hearing this, Zhou Renjie asked hesitantly: "After drinking this medicine, will I no longer like Qingqing?"
Ye Lin nodded: "That should be the case."
After all, she had never seen such a supernatural power, and she was not sure whether her potion would work. But no matter what, judging from Dao Ge's performance, Zhou Renjie would be able to return to normal as long as the arrow expired. She just wanted to help him speed up the process so that he would not continue to embarrass himself.
Who knew Zhou Renjie would refuse without hesitation: "I don't want it! I have lived for 15 years and finally felt the feeling of loving someone. I don't want to dislike Qingqing!"
Everyone: “…”
At first they didn't know how he was controlled, but now they knew that he was bewitched. But the bewitching was so strong that Zhou Renjie was still thinking about Qingqing wholeheartedly even though he knew he was bewitched.
At this time, everyone finally figured out why Zhou Renjie was able to help everyone even though he was clearly controlled. Because he was still rational, he knew that with Teacher Meng Huai and the others watching, nothing would happen to them, and naturally he would not help Qingqing and the others do evil.
"Listen to me." Knowing that he was bewitched and couldn't help himself, Ye Lin said kindly, "Now..."
"I don't want to hear it!" Zhou Renjie interrupted her before she could finish her words. He acted like a young wife who was about to be torn apart by her evil mother-in-law. "You can't treat us like this. I really want to maintain this state. I believe I can move Qingqing and make her stay with me sincerely!"
Everyone fell silent again...
Help! This charm is too scary! I hope Zhou Renjie won't go crazy after he wakes up. What a pitiful man!
For the first time, Ai Baozhu thanked Zhou Renjie for swallowing her into his stomach. At least after being swallowed, she would definitely not be charmed anymore.
Entering the stomach would only make the body dirty, but if one is bewitched, then it would be mentally dirty! If she said such words, she would definitely kill Qingqing first and then commit suicide after she wakes up.
"Tsk." Meng Huai was a little impatient. He snatched the medicine from Ye Lin's hand and tried to force him to drink it.
Qingqing finally realized she was scared at this time, and immediately asked for help from the only person who could save her: "Brother, please save me. You know I control you because I like you. As long as I can successfully leave this place, we can be together, okay?"
"Okay, okay!" Zhou Renjie was overjoyed. He knew that Qingqing really liked him.
However, Meng Huai did not intend to give this limited-time couple time to talk to each other. He was almost vomiting from watching them, so he pinched Zhou Renjie's cheeks without hesitation and poured the potion into his mouth.
The potion was absorbed directly into his mouth, and Zhou Renjie couldn't vomit even if he wanted to. His eyes went dark and he passed out.
"What should we do now?" Lei Zeen asked, holding his stomach. He really laughed so hard that his stomach hurt.
"What else can we do?" Ye Lin glared at him. "You and Xiao En take the two at the door and send them to the supernatural government. I'll take them back to the hotel."
As the name suggests, the Superpower Government is a government that manages superpowers. They are responsible for things like the development of superspaces, issuing missions, and allocating resources.
As soon as he returned to the hotel, Zhou Renjie woke up.
The good news is that he is indeed awake.
Bad news, he wants to kill someone now.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Let me go! I'm going to kill that woman!" Zhou Renjie's level of collapse was even worse than Ai Baozhu just now, "I'm going to make her pay for playing tricks on me!"
Ai Baozhu, who hadn't taken a shower yet, had a look of pity on her face. She was no longer angry. After all, this guy was much worse off than she was: "You...you should be more considerate."
After saying that, he quickly went upstairs to take a shower.
Wu understood that it was rare for him to pat Zhou Renjie's shoulder so calmly and said, "Let's live on another planet."
Then he left.
After that, everyone said a few words of comfort and then left carefully, fearing that they would upset Zhou Renjie again.
Back in the room, Su Bei rubbed his brows, looked at Feng Lan, and joked, "You've been tied up twice, it seems like you have some special physique."
One happened just now, and the other time was during a team battle. Although both times had their reasons, it also showed that Feng Lan was indeed very easy to be tied up, and had no way to deal with it.
However, Su Bei knew that he must have some items to protect himself, so he was not worried about his safety. Otherwise, he would have given Feng Lan an invisibility talisman.
Feng Lan also thought it was a bit weird that she was always the one being tied up, so she thought for a moment and asked, "Did you use the invisibility charm to disappear suddenly?"
"Yeah." Su Bei nodded, "You can also go and exchange a few, it's quite fun."
“Boom boom boom!”
There was a knock on the door. I opened it and saw that it was Wu Jin. Wu Jin lowered his head, his purple hair covering most of his face: "Su Bei, something's up."
Hearing this, Su Bei turned around and said something to Feng Lan, then followed him out. The two of them came to the end of the corridor, and outside the window at the end was a small lake, the ripples were very beautiful.
"What's the matter?" He turned and looked at Wu Jin.
Ever since he showed his face in front of Su Bei, Wu Jin has been much less silent towards him. Just like he did in the video, he does not have a dual personality, but he habitually reduces his presence when his hair covers his face, so that others ignore him.
But after Su Bei had seen his entire face, there was no point in weakening his presence like this, and he naturally became lively again.
"There was no anger when the teachers were arguing just now." Wu Jin said bluntly, "Do you know what they want to do by acting in front of us?"
As someone who could sense emotions, he naturally thought that the teachers' quiet quarrel just now was strange. But he didn't understand what the teachers meant, so he had to ask Su Bei, who had listened to the quarrel with him.
"They hope that we can reveal the content of their quarrel to other students in Class S and make them believe that the teacher will not follow us." Su Bei was too lazy to hide it from him. It would be enough to fool the others, but there was no need to lie to Wu Jin.
He guessed that the teachers themselves did not intend to hide it from him, otherwise why would they say these things in front of them?
So that's how it is! Wu Jin suddenly realized: "Then everyone should feel a little nervous."
After spending half a day in the backstage, he also realized the disadvantages of this experience. Apart from gaining some knowledge, it was of no great use.
After thinking for a while, Su Bei hooked his finger at him and said, "You have to reveal this news. If I reveal it, they may not believe it. Listen to me, you have to do this..."
