Chapter 81

To be honest, Su Bei really wanted to leave. He could already leave, so what was he still doing here? But this time was different from the last time. The last time he met Qingqing and the others, it was obvious that there was no plot behind it, it was just a small episode.

But this time is different, he thinks there will be a lot more to come in this maze. If he leaves now and misses the future, who knows what opportunities will be wasted.

Moreover, even if none of the above concerns existed, he would not agree, so after a brief moment of excitement, he said seriously: "It is you who is marked with 'Hou', so the token is naturally yours too."

"But the method of destroying the 'Queen' was proposed by you, and it was you who completed it." Ling You said expressionlessly, forcing the corners of his mouth to rise, revealing a faint smile.

Maybe it’s because she doesn’t smile normally, but she looked unexpectedly beautiful when she smiled.

Su Bei was very calm, and said in a rogue manner: "Sometimes luck is more important than strength. If you don't want to go out, give the token to Si Zhaohua and the others. Anyway, I won't leave."

At this point, he suddenly winked and smiled slyly: "I want to stay and watch the show."

Ling You really wanted to laugh now. She lowered her head and coughed: "Let's talk about it later."

The two kept talking and started to rush to their destination. In the maze, even if they knew the destination was in the southwest corner, it was still difficult to reach it. Because if they walked in one direction, they would probably encounter a high wall and be forced to go in a long circle.

If it weren't for the compass that Ling You brought with him, they might not have been able to find the southwest corner after going around in circles.

Suddenly the intercom rang, and Jiang Tianming's voice came from it: "We are being hunted by radicals, you guys should be careful, anyone with clues will be found by them!"

After hearing this, Su Bei and Ling You looked at each other and asked quickly: "What do you mean, how do we find it?"

After he finished asking, Li Shu's voice rang out: "I asked a person who was hunting us, and he said that there is a superpower in their organization who can find all the people who have obtained the exit clues."

As expected, the "question" he mentioned was not very peaceful, but no one cared about it. Su Bei frowned slightly: "The clues they want to export"

If they wanted a token, that would be reasonable, since it was a necessity for everyone who wanted to leave. But they wanted clues to the exit...

Almost instantly, an idiom came to his mind - wait for the rabbit by the tree!

As long as you can grasp the location of all the exits, once someone comes, you can snatch the other party's token and leave. I have to say that this is indeed a good idea, but it requires a prestigious person to stay here all the time to maintain order, otherwise it is likely to cause internal chaos.

Thinking of this, he chuckled: "Then it seems that Si Zhaohua and the others really have to come over. We might have to fight then."

If the exit they were going to was already controlled by those people, they would definitely send someone to guard it. I just hope the situation doesn't develop into this, otherwise it will be another wave of trouble.

"Then we won't go over there." Jiang Tianming said with a wry smile, "He's still got a tail, and if we go over there it will only cause trouble for you."

After he finished speaking, Lan Subing suddenly appeared and said, "Do you need us to come? I'm with Qi Huang and Feng Lan."

"You can come." Su Bei had no objection to this. "You can all come. Maybe we can regroup you after you come. Oh, Jiang Tianming, you really don't have to come."

If there were really people guarding the exit, they would have to fight them to decide the winner. If Jiang Tianming brought the people chasing them with him, it would be like encircling them from the front and back, which would only make the situation more troublesome.

The time came, and at noon Su Bei and Ling You had a leisurely lunch. However, only Su Bei was leisurely, and Ling You was obviously not so carefree.

She lowered her eyes to look at the roasted tiger meat in front of her, and after a moment she whispered, "I always feel that it is a little too quiet."

Hearing this, Su Bei was stunned for a moment. It wasn't that he was surprised by what Yu Lingyou said, but that he was surprised that Yu Lingyou would actually say such a thing.

You know, she would never say a word before, and she was even more socially anxious than a socially anxious person. But now she actually took the initiative to express her guess, which is a big change.

But she was right, Su Bei also felt that it was indeed a bit too quiet. From the time they got the clue to now having lunch, an hour had passed, and they didn't meet anyone.

In this maze, three forces were formed, including the scattered psychics, which showed that there were quite a few people. But they hadn't met anyone for such a long time, and they felt something was wrong.

"Let me feel it." Su Bei said as he released his mental power.

This kind of environment with high walls everywhere is actually not very friendly to his ability to perceive the outside world with mental power. The thick and high walls can suppress the divergence of mental power. If he wants to perceive something more specific, he has to go around the wall to perceive.

However, it is not easy to control mental power to bypass a wall, let alone bypassing the left side and then the right side. This is a maze, which makes it even more difficult. This is why Su Bei had never used his mental power before.

He closed his eyes and slowly controlled his mental power to slowly extend, move, and turn outward from both sides of the corridor.

Of course, I didn’t forget to chew the barbecue.

About ten minutes later, Su Bei suddenly opened his eyes and said solemnly, "We are surrounded."

When these words came out, Ling You's eyes widened and his expression became gloomy: "How many people are radicals?"

"It should be them. There are five people in total. Three of them are on the road we are going to take next, and two are following behind us." Su Bei nodded, which was rare. "They must have sensed that we have clues and followed us."

Five people, all of them were psychics who could go to this level of space, it was almost impossible for the two of them to deal with them. Ling You was not to be mentioned, she was actually a very standard combat psychic, the bigger the scene, the more effective she could be.

Su Bei once heard Meng Huai say by chance that when Ling You reaches her third year of high school, she will no longer need to go out of school for training. She will serve as a trump card and practice in school.

As for Su Bei himself, his fighting skills were indeed very powerful, but it was obviously not enough to deal with five psychics. The gears could be used, but he had psychics, and the opponent also had psychics, so who knows what strange abilities would appear.

Adjusting the destiny compasses above their heads would be the most feasible option, but adjusting the destiny compasses of five people is still a bit too wishful thinking, unless the pointers of these five people are just a little away from the right.

Otherwise, given the current situation in northern Jiangsu, at most three people's pointers can be adjusted at the same time, and after the adjustment, they would faint on the spot.

In this case, as long as these five people launched an attack, the two of them could just admit defeat and surrender.

As for why those five people haven't attacked yet, it's probably because the exit they are heading to has been controlled by them, and now they are preparing to catch the turtle in the cage when the time comes.

Thinking of this, Su Bei couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, his luck was bad, and this was the worst case scenario. But if you think about it carefully, it may not be his luck, maybe it's the event system that comes with Ling You, the protagonist!

"I can use my supernatural powers." After understanding the specific situation, Ling You spoke decisively. [Plague] naturally includes viruses that can be spread through the air, as well as viruses that can only be spread through contact.

The former have to be closer, even the farthest distance has to be within five meters to spread, and the lethality is not too great. But as long as they can be infected, they will naturally become weak, and it will be much easier to deal with them at that time.

The latter is much more lethal, but less contagious, and not everyone will come into contact with the source of the virus.

Su Bei shook his head: "No need, wait for classmates."

If he really wanted to kill them, he could just put an invisibility charm on himself and easily kill them. I have to say that the invisibility charm is really a good thing, especially when others are not prepared.

But as he said, there is no need to do this. Even if we deal with them, there is no guarantee that this organization will not send another group of people over, and then it will be even more difficult to deal with them.

Anyway, those people will not affect them for the time being. After reaching the destination and gathering with other classmates, these five people will definitely not be enough for the protagonists to fight.

Since they had decided to ignore them, the two asked Si Zhaohua about their progress, then put out the fire and headed for their destination. Because Si Zhaohua could fly up to the sky to see the way, their progress would be faster, and they didn't have to worry about getting there first and then being caught.

It must be said that having these five people attacking from the front and back was actually quite a good thing. At least during this period of time, they did not encounter any accidents, nor did they encounter any people with bad intentions. All dangers were blocked outside by these five people.

Halfway through the journey, Su Bei felt again and found that the five people had become four. When they were almost there, the four people became three again.

Su Bei was amused. They hadn't even started fighting yet, but the enemy had already lost many men. He was sure that the two men who disappeared were probably forced to leave because they were chess pieces or for some other reason.

At this time, there was only one person left behind him. Su Bei didn't intend to endure it anymore. He went over and joined forces with Ling You to defeat the man, and then continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.

After a while, the two stopped and looked at several huge black birds circling in the sky. They knew that their destination was right in front of them.

Before they could say anything, they heard the sound of fighting. You know, there were only two radical members left in front of them. Su Bei and Ling You looked at each other and ran over to check.

As expected, the people who fought with them were Si Zhaohua and his two companions. Unlike Su Bei and Ling You, Si Zhaohua, Zhou Renjie, and Mu Tieren were all real fighters, and they easily defeated the enemy with three of them surrounding two.

After stepping on the two enemies, the wooden iron man raised his head and greeted Su Bei and the other man: "We are finally united!"

"Why are you coming from this direction?" Su Bei was a little surprised, "Shouldn't there be a lot of people guarding there?"

Logically speaking, the exit is ahead. According to previous speculation, the radicals will definitely guard the exit and wait for the opportunity. Could it be that his reasoning was wrong?

But the next second, the words of the wooden iron man dispelled his doubts: "It feels like there is someone behind that corner. But it's still some distance from here. We were waiting for you and didn't go over."

So that's how it is. Su Bei nodded in realization and said with a smile, "Then you guys came at the right time."

If they hadn't arrived early to guard the door and wait for this group of people to come over and join the group inside, it would have been troublesome.

"Then let's head to the exit now." Si Zhaohua said, looking at Zhou Renjie, "Don't make a move yet. Wait until you see who is the most powerful before using your supernatural power."

Zhou Renjie's ability [The Prime Minister's Stomach Can Support the Boat] is a very powerful hard control skill that can directly create a leverage point.

Originally, he needed touch to activate his supernatural powers, but after a month of training, the improvement of his mental strength and the experience of being beaten countless times finally allowed him to successfully activate his supernatural powers remotely, but he still couldn't be too far away.

"I understand." Zhou Renjie nodded with a slightly gloomy expression. He had this lifeless expression since he met him in Su Bei.

Until this moment, seeing that he still had this expression when answering Si Zhaohua's question, Su Bei finally became curious and whispered to the wooden iron man next to him: "What's wrong with him?"

It's not that quiet. After all, they are all supernatural beings with strong physical fitness. At such a close distance, it's hard not to be heard even if they speak very quietly.

But Su Bei didn't care at all. His attitude towards watching the show had always been obvious enough, and most people wouldn't care as long as it wasn't excessive.

Sure enough, after he asked the question, Zhou Renjie's face darkened, but he didn't say anything.

But Mu Tieren was not Su Bei. He was very kind and just mouthed two words to Su Bei: "Qing Qing".

Su Bei suddenly remembered that Qingqing disappeared inexplicably, no wonder Zhou Renjie looked like that. He had been arguing with the supernatural government to sentence Qingqing to death, but in the blink of an eye, not to mention the death penalty, it might be difficult to sentence her again.

Seeing Zhou Renjie's face getting darker and darker, Si Zhaohua coughed and said, "Let's go."

"Let me use my mental power to detect it first." Su Bei walked to the corner and used his mental power to feel, "There are five people in total... There seem to be many nightmare birds among them."

From the information sensed by mental power, those five people were guarding outside, and there was a group of nightmare birds inside.

But think about it, this is the habitat of the Nightmare Birds, and these people probably don't have the ability to kill all of them. But this also means that after they defeat these five people, they will also have to face the Nightmare Birds blocking the exit.

Thinking of this, Su Bei couldn't help but let out a displeased "tsk".

Turning the corner, the view inside was in full view. It turned out to be a large circular platform with a black door in the middle covered with silver and white patterns.

Beside the door, there were six or seven inky black nightmare birds resting, and they didn't seem to have any intention of attacking anyone.

Outside were five people sent by the radicals to guard the gate. They obviously knew that someone would be coming next, but when they saw that there were five people in Su Bei's group, they were stunned.

What was even more surprising was that none of the teammates who were supposed to be with this group showed up. It seemed that they had all been dealt with long ago.

It was not difficult to deal with the five enemies. The only troublesome one was a psychic with the [Toilet Brush] ability. He rushed forward with the toilet brush and shouted, "My [Toilet Brush] is a real toilet brush!"

Everyone: “…”

Not to mention them, even this guy's teammates retreated again and again with a look of disgust on their faces, fearing that they would get contaminated by something they shouldn't.

Si Zhaohua looked even bleaker, his voice cracking as he spoke: "Don't let him come over! Renjie, use your powers!"

However, in an extreme situation, Zhou Renjie also showed his toughness for once: "I won't!"

If he swallowed the other person and the other person poked him a few times with a toilet brush, he felt that he would never have to eat for the rest of his life.

In order to show his determination, he even "swallowed" an enemy who was hiding behind him. Zhou Renjie can only swallow one at a time. If he doesn't release the enemy in his stomach, he won't be able to use his supernatural power.

Mu Tieren, Ling You and Su Bei all looked unhappy. Who could look happy in such a situation?

The wooden iron man usually fights hand-to-hand, but now he doesn't dare to move forward. Even he doesn't want to touch that thing!

Not to mention Ling You, with her special abilities, she has no way to deal with this kind of scoundrel.

Su Bei could attack from a distance, but the problem was that the toilet brush man was no freeloader. He was very good at using the toilet brush, and most of the gears near him, especially those near key areas such as the throat, were bounced back.

There was no other way, they had nowhere to retreat. Su Bei sighed and finally decided to use his special powers. Among the countless gears that had just attacked, one had deliberately brushed past his head and successfully caught the fate compass of the toilet brush man.

Su Bei gently moved the pointer.

So everyone present only saw the blond boy's face suddenly turn pale, and the next second, the toilet brush man who was originally flushing forward was suddenly caught off guard and his left foot tripped over his right foot, and he fell to the ground.

Almost the next moment, the wooden iron man took a step forward decisively and knocked the opponent unconscious with his hand knife.

Seeing him completely fainted, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Having such a "big killer" on the field was a huge threat to both the enemy and us.

The remaining three people looked at each other, and after a moment they said in unison, "We surrender! We surrender!"

"I will only knock you out. Don't worry, I won't hurt you." The wooden iron man said gently to the three shivering people, and then knocked them out with the same steps.

Then the thing in Zhou Renjie's stomach was vomited out. When he saw four people fainted on the field, he naturally understood the situation. Without the wooden iron man saying anything, he exposed his neck to him for a beating.

After dealing with them, it was time to deal with the nightmare birds. Si Zhaohua had dealt with this kind of bird once before, and now his expression was solemn: "They are not easy to fight. The damage is very high, and the defense is very strong."

Just from the hedgehog-like appearance, you can tell a lot of features, not to mention the large number of them. You have to know that there must be more than just the few in front of you, there are many more flying in the sky. Su Bei is sure that once they start attacking, the few in the sky will come down quickly.

To put it simply, there is a high probability that you will not be able to win.

Obviously, even the arrogant youngsters have a basic assessment of their own strength in their hearts. If there is only a small gap, they will fight without any scruples. But if the gap is too big like this, they really have to think about it.

Si Zhaohua looked at Su Bei with hope: "Can you still use that skill?"

He naturally knew that it was Su Bei who caused the toilet brush man to fall just now. Combined with his impression of the purple-haired girl in the previous group battle, Si Zhaohua believed that Su Bei's ability was amazing and worthy of being a supernatural power related to destiny.

At this time, when facing an opponent that he cannot deal with, he subconsciously wants to rely on him to solve the problem.

"Too many." Unfortunately, Su Bei shook his head helplessly.

If there were only two or three nightmare birds, he could take action. But with so many, he couldn't do it even if he used up all his mental energy!

The invisibility charm could do it, but firstly, he didn't redeem that many invisibility charms, and secondly, he didn't want to waste them in a place like this. Si Zhaohua and the others were the protagonists after all, and Su Bei didn't believe that they would be stumped by this small level.

Sure enough, after a while Si Zhaohua had a new idea: "Since we can't fight them, let's just lead them away."

This is a good idea. If they can use food or the movement outside to lure these birds away, they can leave here without bloodshed.

Everyone followed his words and thought about it. After a moment, Su Bei raised his eyebrows and looked at the person who asked the question: "Then it depends on you."

After hearing what he said, the others suddenly understood, and Si Zhaohua himself also meant this: "I will fly directly from outside to the sky to lead them away. You should take this opportunity to leave as many as you can."

"That won't work." The Iron Man was the first to object. "If we want to go, we should go together."

If someone has to stay behind because there are few people who can pass through the exit, he can accept it. But if for this reason, one person needs to sacrifice himself to help others, then he absolutely cannot accept it.

Knowing his personality, Si Zhaohua felt a little headache: "But this is the only way. Nothing can be the best of both worlds."

"That may not be the case." Su Bei said suddenly.

He looked at Si Zhaohua's head, and the little finger of the other party was indeed tilted to the right, which meant that he would suffer a small setback next, and if nothing unexpected happened, this setback would be that he would not be able to leave with them.

He couldn't change the fate of six or seven nightmare birds, but it was easy for him to change the fate of one person.

Su Bei fiddled with his finger and said casually, "Go ahead."

"This..." Mutieren hesitated a little, but out of trust in Su Bei, he said nothing.

Si Zhaohua turned around and left immediately after Su Bei finished speaking.

After a while, the nightmare birds seemed to sense something, and suddenly flapped their wings one by one, soared into the sky, and flew away in an instant.

After they left, Su Bei and his men hurried to the door. There was a square groove in the middle of the door, which seemed to be just the right place to place the token they had received.

Ling You took out the token on his body and pressed it. The next second, the door opened, and a bright red number appeared on it - "5".

"This means that five people can get out," Zhou Renjie said excitedly. There are exactly five of them!

"Probably." The Iron Man nodded affirmatively.

Suddenly, there were hurried footsteps behind them. Everyone turned around and saw that it was Si Zhaohua. He trotted over with sparkling eyes and said, "Just now, another person suddenly flew into the sky, and I quickly landed here."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Su Bei with shock in their eyes.

Su Bei waved his hands, but before he could say anything, he heard Wu Mingbai's voice from the intercom: "I got a new piece of information. It seems that the exit has changed since the day before yesterday."
