Chapter 73

The next morning, Meng Huai brought several contracts, one for each student. The content on them was not deceptive, but only required that students be responsible for their own life and death during the training period. The few short lines of words gave them a strong sense of pressure. Without the secret protection of teachers, the outside world would be very dangerous for these students who have always lived in an ivory tower, especially in a world of superpowers where students really need to fight.

But despite this, no one chose not to sign the contract. The pride of Class S did not allow them to give up. Of course, Su Bei really wanted to give up, but he really did not have such a high self-esteem when it came to life safety. And based on his character in the comics, it would not be a big problem if he did not sign the contract, after all, he was a fun person.

But it's not necessary. After all, Su Bei knows that even though the teachers asked them to sign the contract seriously, they will definitely follow it. So it doesn't matter if they sign it now, lest someone use this to mock him for being cowardly. Although he doesn't think being cowardly is a shortcoming, as a comic character, he should try to avoid such plots that can be mocked.

After everyone signed the agreement, Meng Huai announced the content of their training for today: "It has been more than a month since we were able to come into contact with Nightmare Beasts. The ones we encountered were all low-level Nightmare Beasts. Today we will go to come into contact with mid-level ones."

Low-level nightmare beasts include nightmare snakes, nightmare rabbits, nightmare tigers, etc. In a sense, they can be called animals with super powers.

Intermediate nightmare beasts have shed their animal appearance and have a more diverse appearance. The only thing they have in common is that they are all black. While their abilities are more diverse, they can also pose a greater threat to humans.

They haven't talked about high-level nightmare beasts yet, but they are said to be in human form and have intelligence equivalent to that of humans. In any case, they are very powerful.

When they heard him say that they could get in touch with a mid-level nightmare beast, everyone couldn't help but show excitement. They really wanted to see other types of nightmare beasts, especially high-level nightmare beasts, which was what everyone wanted to see the most. However, that kind of thing was hard to catch, so they probably wouldn't be able to see it now.

The relatively calm people present were Si Zhaohua and other students from established superpower families. Although their families would not let them have much contact with superpowers before they successfully awakened their abilities, nightmare beasts would often attack places where superpowers gathered, so they had more or less seen them once or twice.

"Teacher, teacher, how can we see if there are intermediate nightmare beasts in this desert alien space?" As expected, the first one who couldn't hold back was Mo Xiaotian. He raised his hand and asked excitedly.

"There are indeed intermediate nightmare beasts in this alien space. It will take you forever to find them." Meng Huai sneered and did not keep the secret. "There are two missions here. You can decide which mission your group will take according to the division you made yesterday."

He threw some things out casually, Jiang Tianming caught them calmly, and when he looked down, he found two document bags and fifteen mission execution certificates issued by the supernatural government.

After explaining the task, Meng Huai prepared to leave. Anyway, the time, location, and target of the task were clearly written, and they were not children of eleven or twelve years old, so there was no need for him to explain anything more.

Zhao Xiaoyu immediately expressed her concern: "Teacher Meng, why haven't the other two teachers come out yet?"

Meng Huai glanced back at her, then answered as he walked on the road: "They both have other tasks to do, you should just worry about yourselves first."

After he left, everyone took their respective execution certificates and then began to look at the general situation of the tasks in the two document bags. The specific content can be viewed after the tasks are divided, which can save time.

There is no doubt that these two are both quests about mid-level Nightmare Beasts, but the content is different.

Mission 1: There is an intermediate nightmare beast on the run that needs to be captured by psychics. The nightmare beast is very familiar with the terrain and has a strong attack power. Many psychic teams that have taken on this mission have failed.

But the good thing is that because so many psychics have taken on this mission, they have a general idea of ​​the situation of this nightmare beast and will not be at a loss when hunting it.

Mission 2: There is a problem in a family's house. The people living in this house are getting weaker and weaker. Their health has not improved after they moved out, and it has reached a critical point. The new tenants who moved in for the sake of cheapness have also begun to experience the same situation.

According to detection, there are supernatural fluctuations in the house, which should be caused by a mid-level nightmare beast.

However, since this situation will occur once entering the house, no team of psychics has taken on this mission so far.

After all, if the problem cannot be solved, then you will have to spend a lot of money to find a superpower to cure the superpowers, and you may not be able to find one. The risk is not proportional to the benefits, and the loss is not worth the gain.

But Su Bei and his team obviously don't have to worry about this problem. As a master of treatment, Ye Lin should be able to solve this problem easily. Moreover, they have the support of the School of Supernatural Powers, so generally no supernatural power can stump them.

"Tell me, what mission do you want to do?" The two groups discussed separately, and Si Zhaohua asked straight to the point.

This time he did not directly help everyone make the decision. Although he had some bias in his heart, it would be better to consider everyone's wishes before taking on the task.

There were seven people in their group, namely Wu Jin, Su Bei, Li Shu, Si Zhaohua, Zhao Xiaoyu, Lan Subing and Wu Mingbai. Although they were not talkative, they were definitely not shy either, and soon, they all made up their minds.

Su Bei, Li Shu, Zhao Xiaoyu, Lan Subing and Wu Jin all chose Task 2. The difference between the two tasks is actually quite clear. Compared with physical labor, they think they are better at mental labor, so they will naturally choose Task 2.

The minority obeys the majority. Although Si Zhaohua and Wu Mingbai both prefer actual pursuit, residential mystery exploration is also good, so there is no conflict in the choice of mission.

At the same time they made their decision, another group also made their decision, and they did the exact opposite of Su Bei and his group. They wanted to complete Task 1.

Since there was no conflict in the task grouping, everyone divided the information needed by their own group and then disbanded.

Si Zhaohua brought everyone to his room. The double room was not small and was enough to seat seven people.

Several people gathered together and listened to Si Zhaohua reading out the tasks with the materials. The specific details of Task 2 were fully recorded on these pieces of paper.

At first, a family of five lived in this villa, including father, mother, sixteen-year-old brother, eight-year-old sister and grandfather.

The problem first appeared a year ago. Grandpa felt weak, dizzy, and had many dark spots on his body. He went to the hospital for a checkup but no symptoms were found.

Everyone thought it might be an allergy or some other symptom, but Grandpa's problem became more and more serious, and soon he was unable to get out of bed. The spots on his body gradually turned blue-black, like corpse spots.

He passed away within two months, and the family began to prepare for the funeral. Soon after, the little daughter also had the same condition. Thinking that it might be an infectious disease, the family became anxious and went to the hospital again, but still nothing was found.

Fortunately, my father worked in the government and had some connections, so he contacted a supernatural being. The supernatural being suspected that it might be the work of the nightmare beast, so he asked them to move out, and at the same time the supernatural government began to take over the matter.

After moving out, my little daughter's symptoms did alleviate a lot, and she no longer deteriorated rapidly day after day, but the situation did not improve and could only maintain the status quo.

After talking about the first family, let’s talk about the second one. Although the house was taken over by the supernatural government, there was no restriction on the first family from selling the house. They were only required to tell the true situation if they sold the house.

Because no one from the supernatural government had dealt with the matter, the first family sold the villa in order to recover their losses. Although they told the truth honestly, there were always people who didn't believe it and moved into the house for the sake of a small profit.

The second family was a couple who moved in together. In the third month, both of them gave birth to babies, just like the previous one.

They had no money, and buying a house had already used up all their savings. They had no choice but to endure this situation for two months. Perhaps the physical fitness of adults was much better than that of the elderly and children. They did not die, but they were already extremely weak.

The supernatural government had tried to intervene before, wanting them to move out quickly, or issuing a commission to let other supernatural people solve the problem. But the couple disagreed, because if the problem with the house was solved, they would not be able to live there anymore.

Here we have to talk about the story of a family. They are also very cunning. The house sale contract specifically stated that if the supernatural government told them that the matter was resolved, the house would be returned to its original price. If they could make up the original price, they would completely settle the deal. If they couldn't make up the original price, they would have to take the money they had paid for the house and leave.

But how could this couple come up with that kind of money? If they had money, they wouldn't have bought a house like this.

But now he has no chance, and if he continues to be stubborn he might really die, so he has no choice but to let the supernatural government intervene.

After listening to the entire mission, Wu understood Kailang's strange tone: "They asked us to find the Nightmare Beast, but they didn't give us any props. They don't want us to lure it with our bodies, do they?"

If it was an ordinary person living in that house, the Nightmare Beast would not come out. But if it was a superpower, it would be different. After all, superpowers were like Tang Monk's meat to the Nightmare Beast.

On this point of yin and yang, Li Shu and Wu Mingbai were obviously in sync. He said softly: "This is really a good plan. It is worthy of the government's plan."

The two of them sang the same tune, which made Si Zhaohua feel overwhelmed. As the captain, he coughed hard: "Ahem! If you are willing to pay, you can also rent a nightmare detector from the supernatural government."

This is true. In order to facilitate the superpowers to complete their tasks, the superpower government still provides a lot of props, but they all cost money to buy.

Don't think they are being stingy by doing this. You should know that there are many props there that you can't buy even if you spend money outside. It's great that they can provide them.

But at least for now, no one wants to use the government's props. Wu Jin raised his hand, but still looked gloomy: "I can probably sense where the nightmare beast is."

Hearing him say this, everyone was stunned for a moment. Su Bei's mind moved, and he thought of something. He had said before that he was very sensitive to emotions, so could he also feel the emotions of the Nightmare Beast?

However, Wu Jin did not intend to give any specific explanation. After saying this, he sat in the corner like a mushroom again.

After thinking for a while, Si Zhaohua said firmly: "In any case, don't worry, the nightmare beast will definitely come out on its own initiative."

At first glance, it seemed that he believed in what Wu Jin just said. But Su Bei's mind moved again and he thought of something else. If I remember correctly, Si Zhaohua's [Angel] has already had a great attraction to the Nightmare Beast.

Su Bei felt that this was the reason why he was so determined.

"Then let's go now," Zhao Xiaoyu asked, "Anyway, there is no specific time for this mission, so we can go anytime."

Unlike the mission next door, you have to go at night because the nightmare beast is only active at night and hides very well during the day.

Obviously, no one wants to waste time. The sooner the task is completed, the sooner they can rest. If they can complete the task faster than the next group, they will have more time to rest. Of course, it is Su Bei who cares about rest time, while others may care about honor.

The group hit it off and prepared to head to their destination. So the first question - Wu Mingbai raised his hand and asked: "Take a taxi or take the bus?"

As soon as these words came out, Si Zhaohua glanced at him proudly and uttered two words: "Take a ride."

After saying that, he went to the side to make a phone call.

Meng Huai did not say that family members were not allowed to help in this training, but generally speaking, people would not ask for help from family members, otherwise the effect of training would be lost.

But for such a trivial matter as calling a taxi, it is obvious that you don't need to worry so much, just do it as you feel comfortable. Young Master Si Zhaohua is unwilling to let himself down.

Lan Subing was not surprised at all, she had originally planned to ask her driver to pick them up, but seeing that Si Zhaohua had said it first, she, who did not like to be in the spotlight, was relieved.

Su Bei reminded: "Choose a car with more space, or call a few more."

It's not a big deal when you go there, but you will definitely be very tired when you come back. A bigger space will also be convenient for resting on the way.

While Si Zhaohua was calling the driver that his family had specially arranged for him, he made an "OK" gesture to Su Bei.

After a while, Si Zhaohua received the message and walked out with everyone. When everyone went out, they saw a low-key and luxurious business car parked at the door.

A man in a black suit came out of the car and bowed to Si Zhaohua: "Mr. Si, please give me your orders."

"...So immature." Lan Subing couldn't help but complain in a low voice, and at the same time shrank behind Wu Mingbai. She was still not used to the sudden appearance of a stranger.

Hearing her words, Su Bei was a little surprised: "Isn't your family like this?"

Although he thought this was exaggerated, he was not surprised. Su Bei, who had been poisoned by TV dramas for a long time, thought that all rich people were like this.

"Of course not!" Lan Subing shook her head violently, with an expression that said "you can't insult me", "I'm just an ordinary driver."

If her driver was like this, she would have been socially dead by the time she was in school. I don't know how Si Zhaohua could face such a childish configuration without changing her expression.

In fact, she had more things she wanted to complain about, including but not limited to the suit the driver was wearing, the bow he just made, and the words he said. But considering that it is not nice to gossip about others behind their backs, she kept her mouth shut.

But Wu Mingbai obviously would not miss this good opportunity to ridicule him, and said with a smile: "As expected of the young master, you are so particular."

I don't know if it's because he's been in contact with Wu Mingbai for too long, but Li Shu's true nature seems to be showing. Although he's still gentle, he's become more weird.

"Don't say that. After all, the car was ordered here. Don't argue with Wu Mingbai, Mr. Si."

Hearing the last name, everyone understood immediately. Lan Subing suppressed her laughter and said, "You didn't let him go either."

She actually got in the car and drove all the way to the destination. On the way, Zhao Xiaoyu called the current owner of the house, the couple, to find out about the situation. Compared to others, she has the highest emotional intelligence in this regard.

Although the couple is willing to let the supernatural government intervene for the sake of their lives, it is estimated that they will not cooperate. After all, they are the kind of people who can disregard their own safety in order to gain an advantage, and now there is nothing they can do.

A woman answered the phone, her voice sounded very weak: "Hello, who is this?"

"Hello, I'm here to solve your problems." Zhao Xiaoyu was smart enough not to say directly that he was sent by the supernatural government.

In the minds of the other party, once the people sent by the superpower government solve the problem, they will have to return all the advantages they have taken, and they will definitely be unhappy. Not mentioning the term "superpower government" will not conceal their identity, but it can make the other party less repulsive.

The woman was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded: "Oh oh oh! You are those...psychics, right? I was wondering why you sound so young."

The voice of a fifteen-year-old girl naturally cannot be very mature, and even if the phone is distorted, it cannot conceal too much immaturity.

Zhao Xiaoyu admitted openly: "We are still students. If you are not satisfied with our youth, you can find other ways to contact us."

That's what she said, but she's not worried at all. This task was posted two months ago, and no one has taken it up yet. I guess the couple must be very anxious. Besides, who else can they find?

As expected, the woman paused again, and then quickly said in a slightly flattering tone: "No, no, just you two can do it. It's true that heroes emerge from youth. When I was your age, I was still skipping classes to go to the Internet cafe."

Seeing that she had an idea in mind, Zhao Xiaoyu got straight to the point: "We are heading to the villa, can you come over as soon as possible?"

"The place we rent now is a little far from there, and it may take two hours to get there." The woman answered after thinking for a while.

Zhao Xiaoyu had no objection. Anyway, the key to the house was in the document bag, so they could go in and check it out first. "No problem. Let's go in and take a look. When you arrive, tell us the details."

When she was on the phone, everyone kept quiet tacitly and started discussing after the call was over.

"It seems that they are not as difficult as the information says," Lan Subing was a little confused. Perhaps because this couple really offended the supernatural government, a large part of the information described their unreasonable behavior.

Wu Mingbai shook his head: "Thanks to Zhao Xiaoyu."

If Zhao Xiaoyu hadn't shown from the beginning that they didn't necessarily have to take on this mission, the other party wouldn't have been so nice.

Zhao Xiaoyu smiled, but was not modest.

Soon they arrived at their destination, a small villa, decorated mainly in white, a standard small house. There was also a small garden outside, which looked very beautiful. If no one had told them, they probably wouldn't have thought that there was a mid-level nightmare beast hidden inside.

I took out my key and opened the door, and dust rushed in my face. The house hadn't been cleaned for two months, and there was a thin layer of dust on the furniture.

As soon as it was confirmed that there was indeed a mid-level nightmare beast in the house, the supernatural government used props to seal the house to ensure that the nightmare beast could not leave even if there was no one inside.

I have to say that the government is still very capable. Although it doesn't like to meddle in other people's affairs, it definitely doesn't lag behind.

Looking at the furnishings in the house, Si Zhaohua frowned in disdain. Zhao Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Why don't we clean it first? We can also take the opportunity to walk around the house while we're cleaning."

"That's a very good suggestion." Li Shu said gently, and quickly found the toilet, took out three brooms and a few rags from it, "I'll be responsible for sweeping the floor of the living room on the first floor, and you guys will distribute the rest."

When he is normal, he is really normal, looking like a harmless and gentle tenor.

"...Can I call someone to help? My driver is outside." Si Zhaohua looked embarrassed. When they were eating barbecue before, Su Bei was right. He did have a bit of a germaphobia.

That's fine, everyone has their own way. Seeing that no one refused, he immediately called the driver in to help clean up.

Lan Subing, who also came from a wealthy family, did not have such trouble. She helped to wipe the table very naturally.

Seeing her skilled appearance, Zhao Xiaoyu, who knew her family background, asked curiously: "When you are at home, do your parents also let you help with these things?"

Lan Subing shook her head: "My family has a nanny, but I do help with some housework occasionally."

At this point, she glanced at Si Zhaohua and continued, "Actually, anyone who gets the hang of it should be able to do a job like wiping a table. Cleanliness is another issue."

Meanwhile, Su Bei and Wu Jin were sweeping the second floor. The villa only had two floors, and there was no attic, so it was quite convenient.

There were only two of them on the second floor at the moment. After washing his hands, Wu Jin casually lifted his hair. The purple hair that was originally in front was combed back, revealing his delicate eyebrows and eyes.

Even though he had seen it once or twice, Su Bei was still stunned for a moment before asking, "Aren't you afraid that others will come up and see it?"

"I'll know if someone comes up here." Wu Jin looked in the mirror. His own ability was to have a low sense of presence, so he would not ignore the presence of others. "Also let my beautiful face come out and breathe."

Sure enough, he started to become narcissistic again, but his words matched his face, and he was right. Su Bei chuckled and then asked the main point: "Do you feel where the nightmare beast is?"

Wu Jin shook his head: "I can only sense it when the Nightmare Beast uses its ability."

Su Bei raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Could it be that he had guessed wrong before? Wu Jin didn't rely on emotions to sense the nightmare beast, otherwise why did he need it to use its ability?
