Chapter 77

Just these two words made her face pale. But fortunately it was not useless, a face protruded from the wall. It was obvious that this face did not want to protrude, and it looked quite sinister.

Lan Subing immediately took advantage of the victory and pursued: ""Fixed""

As soon as she finished saying this word, she immediately covered her mouth and coughed violently several times. Using her supernatural power twice in a row was a great drain on her. Her pale face turned an unhealthy red due to the violent coughing. She took a few steps back and stopped talking.

As this face appeared, Su Bei finally saw the fate compass of this nightmare beast. The compass of the nightmare beast was all black, but the rest was the same as that of humans.

Although the big finger of this nightmare beast is pointing downwards, it is in a very weak position. However, the little finger is leaning to the left, indicating that it can still win in the short term.

Su Bei raised his eyebrows, realizing that things were not simple.

He could just adjust it and move the little finger to the right. With Su Bei's current mental strength, he could do this, and it would consume at most half of his mental strength.

But he would never do such a good deed without leaving a name. After all, the nightmare beast can be destroyed in the end, so let the protagonists get busy.

The others didn't know about his discovery, so they naturally wouldn't let go of Lan Subing's creation. At once, everyone's abilities were unleashed, and many mental powers surged towards the nightmare beast.

The feeling of destroying the nightmare beast with mental power was magical, especially for Su Bei, who possessed advanced mental power. The mental power seemed to turn into a sword, attacking the nightmare beast directly. And this nightmare beast was more like a ball of black mist in the perception of mental power, and every attack consumed the concentration of this mist.

Several people continued to attack, and finally, the human face made a piercing sound of "squeak" and melted away like mud and water.

Wu Jin felt it and nodded affirmatively: "No more."

He no longer smelled the scent of Nightmare.

Hearing this, everyone except Su Bei breathed a sigh of relief, and then became excited. Wu Mingbai coughed, pretending to be serious and took out his mobile phone: "We are all in the same class. We have completed the task here, so we have to inform the other team."

The others smiled knowingly. Jiang Tianming and his team didn't even send any messages. It seemed that they hadn't completed the task yet. They were the winners of this secret competition.

Su Bei sighed. He didn't want to remind them. But if Wu Mingbai really spread the news, the whole team would be embarrassed, including him. Su Bei couldn't allow such a thing to happen.

"Don't send it. The mission is probably not completed yet." Su Bei stopped him. "If it died so easily, how dare Sister Wang and the others provoke the people from the supernatural government?"

This was indeed one reason to judge that the opponent was not dead, but what really made Su Bei sure was the small pointer that was deflected to the left. Since it was deflected to the left, it meant that it would not lose for a while, and naturally it could not be dead.

But at least for now, Su Bei does not intend to let others know the specific use of his supernatural powers. Now that his character is deeply rooted in people's hearts, there is no need to emphasize that he can "see" things that others cannot see. It is better to analyze it seriously.

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately became alert. Yes, just like Su Bei said, the intermediate nightmare beast is at least somewhat intelligent. A nightmare beast that can be destroyed so easily must want to be as far away from the supernatural government as possible. How dare it come to them? You know, it is not hiding very deep. If they can find it, others can probably find it too.

For a moment, everyone in the room was silent, thinking about what Su Bei said. In fact, if you want to keep it simple, you can just ask Su Bei what to do now. After all, since he knows that the nightmare beast is not dead, he must know how to find it.

But they are all young at heart, and they are not willing to rely on others for everything. Su Bei did not do much in this mission, but each time he did something crucial. Looking back, it seemed as if they were completely relying on Su Bei.

Some of them were also proud of themselves and were determined to come up with a solution on their own.

But this was actually a misunderstanding on their part. Su Bei really didn't know where the Nightmare Beast was now, at least there was no conclusive evidence.

Therefore, even if they asked, he would not answer. If he did not speak, he would not make mistakes. If he spoke, even if the answer was correct, it would not be of much use. If it was wrong, he would lose everything.

Suddenly, Si Zhaohua's eyes lit up: "Go to the bedroom!"

Although he had no idea where the nightmare beast had gone, it was definitely not in the game room. On the surface, the bedroom was the lowest possibility among the other rooms, because all the previous evidence showed that the nightmare beast could not harm the bedroom.

But Si Zhaohua was not a fool, and he had seen intermediate nightmare beasts several times, so he had a rough idea in his mind. So he guessed that such a seemingly impossible room was actually the most likely one.

Hearing Si Zhaohua's words, Su Bei curled his lips. Like the other party, he thought the same. If the nightmare beast's hiding place was really in the bedroom, then he could only say that the nightmare beast was too smart for its own good.

But this is definitely a good thing. If the Nightmare Beast is too smart, that would be a real bad thing. This Nightmare Beast can not only speak, but also threaten and use humans, and even knows how to hide in three places. This has already shocked several students who have never seen the world.

If its plot is still very ingenious, then Su Bei would just like to say that the author has a mental problem and it is not unfair for the righteous to lose.

You know, there is a high-level nightmare beast above that is said to be the same as humans. That kind of nightmare beast is definitely smarter than the intermediate one.

As expected, seeing the puzzled expressions on everyone's faces, Si Zhaohua explained, "I have seen intermediate nightmare beasts a few times. They are indeed somewhat smart, but not much. They are more suitable for executing plans rather than making them. They deliberately revealed to humans that the bedroom is safe. I'm afraid they want to create a dark situation."

"If that's true, then it's not very smart." After hearing this, Wu Mingbai laughed.

This method is too obvious. At most, they can't think of it at the moment, but they will never go to the bedroom to investigate just because it is safe. So don't think this strategy seems to be useful. In fact, it is useless and can only delay the time of death.

Walking out of the game room, Sister Wang and Brother Liu were both sitting against the wall, with messy hair and gloomy expressions. Brother Liu's face was covered with bruises, and he looked like he had been beaten.

Zhao Xiaoyu and Wu Jinze acted as if nothing had happened. When they saw a few people coming out, Zhao Xiaoyu asked directly, "Is the matter resolved?"

No one cared about the two people sitting on the ground. Si Zhaohua shook his head and recounted what had just happened.

Zhao Xiaoyu also agreed with Si Zhaohua's guess. He glanced at Sister Wang and the other two and chuckled, "I think these two are also honest. Wu Jin, can you watch it alone? I also want to go up and take a look."

Wu Jin nodded silently. He had no interest in destroying the nightmare beast, so he naturally didn't mind staying downstairs. He was a little worried about these two people before, but after the fight just now, he found that he could handle it alone, so there was nothing to refuse.

After hearing what Zhao Xiaoyu said, Wang Jie and Liu Ge looked desperate. They never thought that the girl who was very kind at the beginning would hurt so much when she hit someone. And the boy who hardly talked to them was also not easy to deal with. If they had known this, they would not have run away just now, and they would have been beaten for nothing.

They went to the bedroom together, but a new problem arose this time. Lan Subing could not use the [Word Spirit] again in a short period of time. If she used it again, her mental energy consumption would be too much.

But there are still several days of training time, so they can't just dry up the pond and fish. Even if Lan Subing wants to, they won't agree.

After seeing the little girl, Zhao Xiaoyu's temper became a little bad, and she didn't talk much after she came back. She also has a sister of similar age at home, and now seeing the haggard look of the little girl's family, she can't help but empathize.

At this time, he sneered: "After all, it can't escape from this house. Just attack the four walls one by one. I'm afraid it won't come out."

This is indeed a good idea. Although it is troublesome, it will eventually work. Anyway, this house only has five walls including the ceiling, so they can afford it.

Her words successfully panicked the Nightmare Beast, and a face popped out from the wall near the door, its mouth opening and closing as it begged for mercy in a shrill, piercing voice: "Let me go, there will be benefits."

Su Bei glanced at the destiny compass on its head. This time, all the predictions were consistent, especially the little needle, which was directly drawn to the far right. There would be no more problems.

"What are the benefits?" Wu Mingbai rolled his eyes and asked with innocent curiosity.

He had no intention of letting the other party go, but he was also curious about what benefit a nightmare beast could bring to humans.

"Save people," the nightmare beast answered. It really couldn't say too many words, so it could only use the simplest words to express its meaning clearly.

Su Bei was thinking happily in the back that the way this guy spoke was a bit like Wu Jin, so he should let Wu Jin come up and listen.

The others were not familiar with Wu Jin, so they did not have such feelings. However, when they heard what the Nightmare Beast said, they laughed out loud like Su Bei. Wu Mingbai pretended to be puzzled: "Ah, but why did I hear from the teacher that killing the Nightmare Beast can also solve other people's predicaments?"

Of course, they understood what the Nightmare Beast meant, that if they released it, they could save the little girl and the others. But Ye Lin had said before that as long as they killed the Nightmare Beast, most of the lasting damage they caused would disappear directly.

The reason why the nightmare beast said this is probably because it thinks they are young and ignorant, and want to get something for nothing!

Seeing how cunning it was, people lost interest in making fun of it. If it capsized in the ditch just because of its greed, it would be a real joke.

Several people repeated the previous steps. After gaining experience once, they became much more proficient in using mental power to attack the second time and easily destroyed the face.

After the faces disappeared, everyone looked towards Su Bei. After hesitating for a moment, Si Zhaohua asked tentatively: "Is he completely dead this time?"

"Guess?" Su Bei tilted his head.

After spending some time together, everyone now directly translates his "guess" into an affirmative sentence, and they immediately breathe a sigh of relief.

Wu Mingbai hurriedly carried out his previous task of announcing the good news: "I will go and tell Ah Jiang and the others the good news."

As soon as he took out his phone, his expression froze. After a moment, he slowly raised his head and said, "They have completed the mission."

It was already dark when we returned to the hotel, but we couldn't resist the gloomy faces of Si Zhaohua and others. After all, not everyone can accept the fact that they thought everything was fine, but it turned out to be a mistake at the last minute.

Everyone was originally confident and thinking that they would complete the task faster this time, but it turned out that the team next door was just one step faster than them, and they were naturally very dissatisfied.

In stark contrast to them were Jiang Tianming and the others, all with smiles on their faces, though as calm as Ling You and as indifferent as Feng Lan, and they seemed to be in a good mood at this moment.

Perhaps the only one who had no sense of competition was Mo Xiaotian. He was as excited as a puppy who had just come back from playing outside. Su Bei seemed to be able to see his tail wagging wildly behind him: "Our mission this time is thrilling! But it's so fun! I want to take this kind of mission next time!"

Although he had not thought about competition, when Mo Xiaotian spoke, he subconsciously stood in front of Su Bei, who looked the most peaceful.

Su Bei was indeed peaceful, and he really had no intention of competing with Jiang Tianming's team for first place. As the real protagonist, Jiang Tianming's chances of winning were already greater.

Before he could say anything, Meng Huai and the other two came down. Ye Lin smiled gently, "You all did a good job this time. There were no mistakes in the mission. Take a day off tomorrow and go to a new space the day after tomorrow. Okay, take a rest now. Staying up late won't make you grow taller."

Then she herded them back to her room like a sheep, and then sat down in her room again, looking at her two colleagues and friends with a hesitant expression: "Because we have already explored it before, but that alien space is indeed very dangerous, do we really want to let them go?"

"Of course." Meng Huai answered without hesitation, "That kind of danger is just right for them. Besides, with us watching over them, nothing will happen. Just be careful of Black Flash's people getting in."

"The academy's investigation said they are researching something. The last group battle was also to capture a few more psychics for research." Speaking of the "Black Flash" organization, Lei Zeen told them the results of the school's investigation, "I don't know what they are researching."

Hearing this, the others' expressions became serious. Ye Lin asked worriedly, "Has the school not yet found out their research objectives? Then we have not been able to make corresponding defenses."

"In the end, we just have to make sure they don't take the students away." Meng Huai made the final decision, "Be careful at home the day after tomorrow. I have a feeling they will come and cause trouble again."

After the serious talk, it was time to talk about something lighthearted. Lei Zeen said with a smile, "By the way, you know that the Sky Dome School of Supernatural Powers wants to train with our group of students. The school asked us what we think."

"Ha!" Meng Huai sneered, "I can be sure that my students will be fine if they enter that alien space, but they can't be sure. They are courting death with big eyes and small stomachs."

Lei Zeen shared the same idea with him and smiled with narrowed eyes: "So what's your decision?"

Although it was a question, he had already guessed the answer the other party would give.

"Of course I agree." As expected, Meng Huai did not object at all. After all, they were not his students, and since they wanted to commit suicide, he would generously fulfill their wish.

Ye Lin, the only relatively righteous person among the three, frowned slightly and said, "That's not good. It doesn't make sense for the students to bear the consequences of the teacher's wrongdoings."

Lei Zeen rubbed his chubby face and smiled meaningfully: "Do you think those students don't know that they made these decisions? Some of those students have good family backgrounds. Their teachers will definitely tell them in advance when they make such decisions."

If they didn't tell, then if something went wrong, the school would be fully responsible. But if they told, they could share some of the responsibility. Those students must have been willing to compete with the "Infinite Power Academy" so they agreed to the school's suggestion to train together.

Knowing that what he said made sense, Ye Lin remained silent for a moment before she spoke again, "Children are ignorant."

"Then you should bear the consequences." Meng Huai leaned casually on the sofa, playing with Ye Lin's hair, and said nonchalantly, "If you really don't want to, I will refuse."

Although he wants to have fun, he won't ignore his companions' suggestions.

Ye Lin didn't want to disappoint her friends, so she thought for a moment and replied, "The teachers at the Sky Dome School of Supernatural Powers will probably look after the students as carefully as we do. Although that alien space is very dangerous, they may not be in any danger. But we should wait until tomorrow to talk to the students in our class. After all, it's their business, so let them make the decision."

On the other side, in Su Bei's room, Su Bei and Feng Lan had already washed up and were ready to go to bed.

Lying on the bed, Su Bei curiously turned his head to look in the direction of Feng Lan: "Are you satisfied with your participation today?"

In a mission like this to capture a mid-level nightmare beast, Feng Lan, whose ability is [Prophecy], feels that it is difficult to play any role. However, judging from his expression when he came back earlier, he was not bad, so Su Bei estimated that he played a significant role.

Sure enough, Feng Lan turned around and nodded to him: "I used the prophecy fragment to find its weakness."

"Prophecy Fragments" is a new ability developed by Feng Lan. It allows her to obtain picture fragments about the future with a certain probability based on the questions she asks.

However, after hearing what he said, Su Bei was a little surprised: "Can this ability also find the enemy's weaknesses?"

If this is the case, then the ability developed by Feng Lan is much more useful than he thought before. However, Su Bei couldn't understand why the fragments that could see the future could find the enemy's weaknesses.

The air was silent for a while before Feng Lan answered, "Because in that prophetic fragment, I saw that in the future we found this weakness and defeated the nightmare beast."

After these words were spoken, Su Bei fell silent. The room became silent again, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

This is indeed something worth pondering. After a while, Su Bei asked: "What was the opportunity for you to discover the weakness of the Nightmare Beast in that prophecy fragment?"

As if she had guessed that he would ask this question, Feng Lan answered almost immediately: "I don't know. That fragment is the part where we used the weakness to kill the nightmare beast."

The air fell silent again.

Su Bei was thinking about the information revealed by the other party. This was a question involving fate and causality. If they could find the weakness in the future, it would be because Feng Lan saw the prophecy fragments. This would be a logical closed loop.

Feng Lan saw the weakness of the Nightmare Beast in the prophecy fragments, which led them to find the weakness of the Nightmare Beast and kill it, which led to Feng Lan in the past being able to see the weakness of the Nightmare Beast from the prophecy fragments.

This closed loop is both frightening and fascinating, as if one cannot escape the control of fate, but also as if one has glimpsed a corner of fate.

If it were someone with a slightly paranoid personality, they might be immersed in it and become a believer in fate.

But neither Su Bei nor Feng Lan were such people. Unless they were willing to spend their entire lives studying this kind of thing, it would be meaningless to think about it. And they were obviously not the kind of people who would waste their time on this.

So after a brief silence, Su Bei smiled and said, "Then you'd better talk to your past self often, so that maybe someday you can talk to your future self in the fragments of fate."

Feng Lan: “…”

Fortunately, he didn't think Su Bei would have any big reaction to what he just said about his fate being a closed loop, and he was speechless about his reaction.

But seeing that Su Bei didn't worry about it, he breathed a sigh of relief. After all, his ability was just [prophecy], and the fate loop had little impact on him.

But Su Bei's ability is [Destiny Gear], which is directly linked to destiny. Feng Lan told him this because she was afraid that he would have some strange thoughts, such as knowing that destiny is meaningless.

Rather than waiting to find out about this fact in the future, it is better to find out about it early. After all, we are still in school now. Even if Su Bei gets stuck in a dead end, the teachers will help him adjust.

But he was obviously overthinking it, because Su Bei had the ability to change his fate. Whether it was the power itself or the comics, it gave him enough confidence. Even if fate was a closed loop, he believed he could tear a hole in it!

The next day was a rest time. Su Bei originally planned to be a stay-at-home, staying in the hotel all day and passing the time by reading comics.

But it was only ten o'clock in the morning when Mo Xiaotian knocked on the door: "Su Bei Fenglan! Come out and play together. We haven't even had a good look around here yet."

Su Bei sighed, put down the comic book, and looked at Feng Lan: "Let's go?"

You have to know that Mo Xiaotian is not a person who will give up easily. If he disagrees, he will probably pester him for a long time. Instead of that, he might as well be sensible and directly agree to the other party's wishes.

Feng Lan didn't care where she was going today. When someone invited her, she just nodded and opened the door.

Unexpectedly, besides Mo Xiaotian, there were Si Zhaohua and Jiang Tianming at the door. They came to explain the follow-up of the mission.

Si Zhaohua looked towards Su Bei and shook his phone. "The person in charge of the mission told me that the little girl has recovered now and can go to school after some rest. Sister Wang and Brother Liu have been detained by the supernatural government for assisting the Nightmare Beast in its evil deeds, and their punishment has not yet been determined."

Jiang Tianming talked about another matter: "By the way, the group of people from the day before yesterday, Qingqing and her friends, were also detained by the supernatural government."

The rest of the story was quite satisfactory. Su Bei was only curious about one thing: "What punishment did Qingqing get in the end?"

You have to know that Qingqing had offended Zhou Renjie so badly and lost so much face, Zhou Renjie would not let her go easily. Su Bei was surprised that Qingqing was still alive.

"We're still considering it." Si Zhaohua, who knew more about the matter, replied that the Zhou family was not satisfied with the punishment given by the supernatural government, and both parties were still discussing it.

"bite!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his phone suddenly rang with a message alert. Si Zhaohua looked down and showed a surprised expression: "Qingqing ran away!"
