Chapter 74

Su Bei did not say anything, but silently looked at the compass above his head in the mirror. Both the big and small needles were undoubtedly deviating in the correct direction.

This is the advantage of being with the protagonists. You don't have to worry about the needle going in the wrong direction. Besides, this is just a small case. If the two villains we saw yesterday, the "Sky Dome School of Supernatural Powers" and the "Black Flash" organization, don't come to cause trouble, then there will be no big problems. If this wasn't his first experience, he wouldn't even dare to guarantee that this plot would be published in the comics.

Come to think of it, will they come to cause trouble? Su Bei suddenly thought of this question. This training activity lasts for a week, and today is only the second day. There is no need for them to come to cause trouble.

Forget it, don't think about it any more. After wiping the tea table, Su Bei sat on it and slacked off. Wu Jin sat with him and slacked off.

If his hair was not uncovered, he would never do something that might attract attention, such as slacking off. But now that his hair was uncovered, Wu Jin just wanted to complain about why no one could help him with housework for his beautiful face.

It doesn't matter if other people can't see it, but there is someone next to them who can see it.

Thinking of this, he turned to look at Su Bei: "If both of us don't move, they will come up and scold us. Can you bear to watch me being scolded?"

Su Bei looked at his face subconsciously, and his mind suddenly became dazed for a moment. It would be a waste of such a beautiful face if he showed a wronged expression.

But the next second his brain suddenly woke up as if pricked by a needle, and with it came another thought - please, just accept the injustice, it is better for him to be wronged than for me.

Su Bei shook his head violently, and his emotions completely recovered. He looked at Wu Jin with eyes as sharp as swords, but he didn't say anything.

Wu Jin was at a loss at this time, but he didn't dare to speak. Seeing him sober up, he said in surprise: "You've recovered, that's great!"

Seeing this, Su Bei asked: "What happened just now?"

After hesitating for a while, Wujin finally decided to tell the truth: "Actually, my ability is not [Silence if Silent], but [Succubus]. My face is the best tool for seduction, but I can't control this bloodline ability very well. I often seduce others involuntarily. This is one of the reasons why I chose to cover my face before."

[Succubus]... Hearing this word, even Su Bei was stunned for a moment. This ability is too weird and doesn't fit in with the shonen manga!

Fortunately, Qingqing's Cupid's arrow had already taught Su Bei a lesson, so he quickly calmed down and recalled what Wu Jin had just said. Suddenly, he found an interesting point: "What is bloodline ability?"

Wu Jin didn't expect Su Bei to be so good at grasping the key points. He opened his mouth and had to explain: "It is a type of superpower. What awakens is the bloodline, such as werewolf bloodline, elf bloodline, succubus bloodline..."

"Then is Si Zhaohua's [Angel] ability also a bloodline ability?" Su Bei asked curiously. He had looked up Si Zhaohua's abilities before, but the term bloodline ability was not mentioned there.

As expected, Wu Jin shook his head: "Bloodline abilities may be inherited, but [Angel] probably won't be inherited."

Genetic Su Bei suddenly thought of Wu Jin's backdoor dealings, and thought of the fact that the principal Wu Di had the same surname as Wu Jin. He suddenly showed a strange expression: "Then isn't the principal also--"

"No!" Before he could finish, Wu Jin denied it without hesitation, "He is not. If my dad hears you saying this, I will be finished."

Wu Jin had no intention of hiding his relationship with the principal. After all, he had already revealed so many secrets in front of Su Bei, so it wouldn't hurt to reveal one more.

Knowing that he was not lying, Su Bei tilted his head and said, "Then you learned it from your mother..."

"Oh, don't ask. Anyway, my succubus bloodline is inherited." Wu Jin had a bitter face, of course even with such an expression, he still looked very good.

Su Bei raised his eyebrows, and indeed did not ask any more questions. However, not asking did not prevent him from thinking that there must be something wrong with Wu Jin's reaction just now.

If his mother or any of his other relatives had the supernatural power of a succubus, there was no need for Wu Jin to act like this. He could just say it straight away.

The reason why he behaved like this was probably because the relatives around him did not have the [Succubus] power, and his own power was also somewhat strange.

Based on the information Su Bei has obtained so far, this is the limit. He plans to look up information about bloodline abilities after returning, perhaps he will get some unexpected surprises.

He didn't ask, so it was Wu Jin's turn to ask. His pretty face was full of curiosity: "How did you get rid of my charm so quickly just now?"

After saying that, he quickly added, "I'm not trying to pry into your secrets. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. It's just that I've rarely met anyone who can get rid of my charm so quickly when they're caught off guard, so I was just surprised."

Su Bei waved his hands to indicate that it was nothing, and then replied: "It's probably because I have a high level of spiritual power."

There is a barrier between high-level mental power and ordinary mental power, especially when facing mental abilities, it is difficult for ordinary mental power users to control high-level mental power users.

To be honest, it was already amazing that Wu Jin could charm him for two seconds with his mental power.

"Advanced mental power" Wu Jin was a little surprised. As a person with a family background in learning, he naturally knew how difficult it was to possess advanced mental power. At this age, he was a genius among geniuses.

Su Bei nodded. He had no intention of hiding this from Wu Jin. First, high-level mental power was not a secret. He had already misled Jiang Tianming and the others, and told Meng Huai about it. It would be fine to tell Wu Jin again.

The second is that Su Bei knows that only by giving and taking can they continue to be friends. It doesn't make sense for Wu Jin to keep revealing one secret after another while he doesn't say anything. It will be difficult to get anything from the other person next time.

While they were chatting, Si Zhaohua and the others had finished cleaning the first floor and were ready to go upstairs. Sensing the movement below, Wu Jin immediately covered his face with his hair again, turning into a look that would not attract attention. Then he picked up a rag and began to clean the windows to make up for the loss.

Su Bei was still sitting there lazily, playing with the ordinary gear in his hand.

So the people who came up saw this scene: Wu Jin was diligently cleaning the windows, while Su Bei was sitting on the coffee table playing with gears. Almost the moment she saw it, Lan Subing couldn't help but blurt out: "Cinderella and her evil stepmother!"

Everyone: “…”

It should be said that they are quite similar. Wu Mingbai burst out laughing.

"Unless you are just slacking off, at least try to cover it up." Si Zhaohua also laughed angrily, "Do you think it's appropriate to let Wu Jin do it all?"

He helplessly instructed his driver to help Su Bei do his part of the job, then glanced at the coffee table, confirmed that it was indeed clean, and sat next to Su Bei: "You can't be the only one who cleaned this coffee table, right?"

I have to say he guessed it right. Su Bei coughed and refused to answer the question. He decisively changed the subject: "Who said I did nothing? I found a clue."

"What clue?" Si Zhaohua asked, and the others also looked over.

Su Bei pointed to a room near the stairs and said, "That's the couple's room, and also the room of the older brother in the original family. In this entire villa, only this room and the two toilets above and below have not changed in usage."

This villa has two floors, with a total of six rooms, three on the first floor and three on the second floor. There is a toilet on each floor and a kitchen on the first floor.

It turned out that except for the grandfather who lived on the first floor for convenience, the rest of the family occupied all the rooms on the second floor. The other two rooms on the first floor were used as guest rooms and storage rooms respectively.

Because the couple had only moved in more than half a year ago, many traces had not been completely removed, so Su Bei was able to see them all after just one walk around.

Now the brother's room has become the couple's bedroom, the other rooms are used as storage rooms and guest rooms, and the grandfather's room has been converted into a game room.

So as Su Bei said, in this entire villa, only the bathroom and the master bedroom have not changed.

Zhao Xiaoyu's eyes rolled and she understood what he meant very quickly: "You mean there's something wrong with this room?"

Toilets cannot be easily replaced, so they are naturally not included in the list.

Su Bei did not comment and let them go into the three rooms to take a look. After everyone went in, Wu Jin came over and whispered, "You cheated me."

Just now, it was because he saw Su Bei slacking off recklessly that Wu Jin followed suit. Originally, he thought the two of them were accomplices, but now he found out that Su Bei had already found the clues and was fearless, so he was the only one who was slacking off honestly.

Su Bei rolled his eyes at him and said, "When they came up just now, you immediately stood up and pretended. I didn't expose you."

Of course, Wu Jin did try to get him to join in, but Su Bei ignored him.

Soon after they finished looking at all three rooms, Si Zhaohua was the first to realize something was wrong: "Why don't they live in the largest master bedroom in the middle?"

After a walk around, you can see that among the three rooms upstairs, the middle room is undoubtedly the largest.

"Maybe it's because the room was originally occupied by the couple, and they don't want to live in the same place as the previous family," Zhao Xiaoyu speculated uncertainly. There are indeed couples who don't want to live in a place where other couples have lived.

Li Shu looked at Su Bei and smiled softly: "Is this what you want us to see? What does it have to do with what you just said?"

Si Zhaohua sat back in his seat and continued, "You think there's something wrong with this room, but if I remember correctly, my brother who lives here is fine."

If this was his sister's or grandfather's room, he might have the same suspicion as Su Bei. But since this was his brother's room, the suspicion that there was something wrong with this room could basically be ruled out.

Su Bei blinked but didn't refute. What he didn't say was that every time he approached this bedroom, the little pointer would always move a little further to the left.

There was undoubtedly something wrong with this room, but just as Si Zhaohua said, Su Bei didn't know what the problem was for the time being.

"By the way, I also discovered something very strange." Lan Subing raised her hand and whispered, "They actually renovated the house."

She only realized this after Su Bei said those words. Just as Su Bei said, almost all the rooms in the villa had been renovated.

However, according to the original house purchase contract, once the matter is resolved by the supernatural government, the house will be returned. After returning it, although the original purchase money will be refunded in full, the renovation money will definitely not be refunded.

If that's the case, how dare this couple renovate so lavishly? Aren't they afraid of regretting it later?

This is indeed a question. Si Zhaohua thought thoughtfully: "Let's ask them after they arrive."

"By the way, Wu Jin, have you sensed the existence of the Nightmare Beast?" Zhao Xiaoyu asked curiously, remembering that Wu Jin had said before that he could sense the Nightmare Beast.

Wu Jin shook his head: "No, I can only sense it after it appears or uses its ability."

Everyone was not surprised to hear this. Li Shu said softly, "Should we call the first family and ask about the situation?"

After thinking about it, Si Zhaohua refused: "The content they confessed is already very specific in the materials. I don't know what to ask if I ask more."

As they were talking, there was a noise downstairs. Zhao Xiaoyu smiled and stood up: "It looks like the couple is here. I'll go down to greet them."

Everyone followed him down and saw a man and a woman. The woman had a pale face, shoulder-length hair, and was wearing a thick down jacket and a scarf around her neck, wrapping herself tightly.

The two boys were equally pale, and were wearing couple outfits like her. However, they were not wearing scarves. There was a small round light blue spot on their necks, which was probably caused by the nightmare beast in the house.

This is a bit unexpected, Su Bei thought. From what I read in the previous documents, it seems that these two people are at their wits' end, so they asked the supernatural government to handle the problem.

But at the moment, they were both in good spirits. Although their faces were pale, they did not seem to be in danger of losing their lives.

Others obviously had the same doubts. Zhao Xiaoyu asked with concern, "Miss Wang, are you all in good health? I heard that you were tortured by the nightmare beast in this house and were forced to move out."

The woman smiled and shook her head: "You can just call me Sister Wang, and he is your Brother Liu. We are actually fine, it's not that serious. We just think there is something strange in this house, so we dare not live there anymore. After we moved out, we felt better."

People don't believe what she said. If she was really so far-sighted, she wouldn't have bought a house with such a big price cut.

But maybe the problem is not that serious. It is possible that someone in the supernatural government cannot stand this couple and deliberately said bad things about them. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

When they looked at the couple, the couple also looked at them. Su Bei and the others were only fifteen years old, so they looked like teenagers. However, the two of them did not seem to be disgusted at all, and their attitude became more enthusiastic.

After chatting for a while, Zhao Xiaoyu took the two to sit on the sofa, and then asked them the question they had before: "There are three bedrooms upstairs, why don't you live in the master bedroom? Isn't there more space there?"

"Well," Sister Wang pushed her hair behind her ears, "the original owner of this house lived there, and I don't want to sleep in a room where a couple has slept before."

The reason was quite reasonable, and it was consistent with what they had guessed. Zhao Xiaoyu continued to ask, "We have just walked around the house and found that many facilities seem to have been renovated."

At this point, she acted indignantly and said, "You even installed a game room, which must have cost a lot of money. If the original owner doesn't give you money for the renovation when you return the house, then you will suffer a great loss."

Hearing this, Sister Wang was stunned for a moment, and then showed a sad expression: "We didn't think much about it at the time. Before encountering this kind of thing, who would believe that there really is such a thing in the world? We just thought we got a bargain, buying a big house with a small amount of money, and we could use the remaining money to renovate it. It turned out that they were not lying, and there was really something wrong with this house..."

Liu, who was sitting next to her, handed her a tissue and took the initiative to say, "It's our bad luck. We tried to save a little but ended up losing a lot."

All the explanations were fine, so everyone stopped asking questions and started asking about the nightmare beast: "Did you encounter any strange things during the time you lived in the house, besides what happened to you?"

Nightmare beasts usually have physical bodies. If you stay in the same house with a Nightmare beast for a long time, you may be able to see each other.

After hearing this, the two thought about it and shook their heads together: "No, this house has always been normal. Are you sure there is really a monster? I feel that the problem we have is more likely to be caused by radiation."

Judging from their performance, they are still unwilling to believe in the existence of nightmare beasts.

"Tell me when the spots first appeared on your body." Not wanting to waste any more time, Si Zhaohua asked straight to the point, "Where did you find them?"

"It's been three months since we moved in. We mentioned this to your people before. The previous tenant told us this problem would happen when they left, so we were alert as soon as it happened." Sister Wang replied, "We went to the hospital for a check-up, but nothing was found. Then we started disinfecting the house... but it didn't work."

Brother Liu interrupted, "During that time, he really made the family restless, but he didn't find anything. We lived here for a while, and then we felt that it was no longer possible, so we moved out."

"Can I see the spots on your bodies?" Ling You suddenly asked. It was surprising that she would take the initiative to talk to them, but it was understandable.

Ling You's special ability is related to [Plague] and disease. Although he cannot identify all symptoms, he can at least tell whether it is a disease or not.

It is necessary to check this. The ability of curse is completely different from that of disease or other types of abilities. The appearance of intermediate nightmares varies. Generally speaking, the appearance of intermediate nightmares is always related to their abilities. For example, a nightmare with the ability of cooling may appear as a block of ice.

Not only can you test the opponent's abilities, but you can also better discern the appearance of the Nightmare.

Hearing this, Sister Wang glanced at Brother Liu, stood up and said with a smile: "Let's go to our room. It's a bit embarrassing to show it in the living room."

After saying that, she pulled on Brother Liu's collar and said angrily, "I told you to wear a scarf, but you don't care about yourself."

Brother Liu touched his neck, smiled embarrassedly, and walked quickly upstairs with Sister Wang.

"They have such a good relationship." Lan Subing, who was following behind the crowd, touched her scarf and said in a very low voice, "But is it so cold today?"

It's winter now, and the temperature is indeed low. But the alien space nearby is a desert alien space, so the surrounding temperature has also risen a lot. It doesn't feel like a severe winter, but more like a slightly cool autumn.

Because of her social anxiety, she usually wears a scarf, but now she feels a little hot. The others only wear sweaters, and they are obviously not cold.

"Maybe it's because of physical weakness." Looking at their appearance, Li Shu said softly, "After all, their bodies have been harmed by nightmare beasts, so it's normal to be a little weak."

When we arrived at their room, Sister Wang and Brother Liu took off their coats and scarves. Surprisingly, they were actually wearing short-sleeved shirts underneath.

Sister Wang showed her arm, which had several round blue spots on it, which looked quite scary. If it weren't for the special shape of the spots, I'm afraid others would think it was caused by domestic violence.

"Look, can this thing cure the disease?" Sister Wang looked at Ling You expectantly. She naturally didn't want to have this kind of thing on her body all the time.

Ling You released his spiritual power to examine it carefully, and nodded affirmatively after a moment: "It is indeed a disease, but it is not an infectious disease. So I don't know what it is specifically."

If it was an infectious disease, perhaps she could cure the disease herself and be better able to control the nightmare beast.

When they heard that she couldn't solve it, they were obviously disappointed for a moment, but not too disappointed. Sister Wang smiled and comforted them, "The hospital can't solve our situation, so it's normal that you can't solve it either."

Ling You didn't say anything. After finishing the inspection, he retreated to the back.

Zhao Xiaoyu asked the same question again: "When did each of us discover that we had spots on our bodies?"

"I found it when I was taking a shower." After a moment of recollection, Wang Jie replied, "He found it two days after me, when he was undressing in the bedroom."

This couple fell ill at the same time, which was different from the previous family who fell ill one after another. After thinking for a while, Si Zhaohua whispered something to Zhao Xiaoyu and walked out.

Su Bei followed him out and saw Si Zhaohua looking at some documents. He asked knowingly, "Are you looking for the phone number of your previous family?"

"Well, I want to call and ask where the two sick people like to go, and see if we can find something in common." Si Zhaohua replied. He saw the phone number from the information and started to dial.

Hearing this, Su Bei smiled and shook his head: "I think you'd better ask the little girl where she often went after her grandfather died."

Si Zhaohua raised his eyebrows and immediately understood what Su Bei meant: "That makes sense."

The call was connected soon. After introducing himself, Si Zhaohua, as usual, went straight to the point and asked the question that Su Bei had just raised.

The person who answered the phone was the father of the family. He was too sad at the time to pay much attention to the problem. He asked his daughter and soon got the answer: "At that time, she often went to my father's room..."

At this point, the voice became serious: "Is there something wrong in my dad's room?"
