Chapter 82

"What changes?" After hearing the information Wu Mingbai said, Su Bei felt a sense of relief in his heart, "It's finally here."

From the moment they entered the alien space, they successfully obtained the token, successfully found the exit, successfully dealt with the radicals, and successfully led away the nightmare bird... Everything went smoothly and was not easy, but Su Bei still felt it was too smooth.

This alien space is considered very difficult, so it should have some effective plot. But the content they are experiencing now is difficult, and there is no main plot at all. There are not many interesting contents, even less information than the group battle.

It would be interesting to say that they would stay in this alien space for a few days, but the problem is that it was only the first night and they found a way to leave.

Could it be that all the subsequent plots were given to Jiang Tianming and others who were unable to leave? That would be too outrageous.

Almost from the moment he found the exit, the alarm bells in Su Bei's heart had been ringing; he always felt that something was wrong.

Until Wu Mingbai's intelligence arrived.

“The day before yesterday” is such a meaningful time, it was exactly the day they left the college.

It is known that Black Flash has decided to deal with them and knows their itinerary. And this alien space happened to change on the day they left the academy.

The connection is very obscure and even seems like a coincidence. But this is a comic book world, and any coincidence could be a deliberate plot point by the author.

Su Bei is 80% confident that this change was brought about by the "Black Flash" organization.

Seeing that he didn't ask any more questions for a long time, Si Zhaohua asked: "How do you know this?"

So Wu Mingbai finished telling his experience of the day.

Unlike the others, he appeared at the conservative stronghold at the beginning. Faced with a large group of people besieging him, Wu Mingbai made the very timely choice to surrender. Fortunately, his ability was [Earth Element], and the conservatives just wanted to farm, so they kept him.

When he talked about this, he also specifically introduced the ideas of the conservatives. Some of these people are too weak to leave and are forced to stay here. Others feel that the outside world is too chaotic and have fled here.

It was not until this time that everyone realized that this special space was quite famous among veteran psychics, and many of them had friends, relatives, and even themselves who had been trapped there.

Then let's talk about Wu Mingbai. During his time in the conservative faction, he found two teammates, Wu Jin and Zhao Xiaoyu. Then, because of the two battles with the radical faction, he successfully won the trust of the conservative faction, which enabled him to get useful intelligence.

The change in the exit door was told to him by an old conservative who had been in this alien space for three months. He also said that this had never happened before.

"Then what should we do? Should we still go in?" Looking at the black door, Zhou Renjie suddenly felt a little scared for some reason.

The others were also very hesitant. Mutieren looked at Subei and said, "Subei, what do you think we should do now?"

Actually, he was just trying his best. After all, Su Bei had supernatural powers related to destiny, and he had often shown his ability to predict the future. In this situation where he didn't know what to do, Mu Tieren thought that asking Su Bei might give him an answer.

Because he used his supernatural powers twice in a row and consumed a lot of his mental energy, Su Bei is now feeling lazy and has no energy at all.

When she heard his question, she just raised her eyelids slightly: "Smash the watch glass cover and solve the problem once and for all."

"Don't be ridiculous." Zhou Renjie was nervous and amused. "We were scared to death by a door that changed. How could we lose face?"

Si Zhaohua and the other two didn't say anything, but they obviously thought the same thing. Calling the teacher when nothing has happened is just confusing.

They were not surprised by Su Bei's joking behavior. When this guy was in a bad mood, he liked to talk nonsense.

However, I swear to God, Su Bei is very serious in making this suggestion. He truly believes that the best way now is to call the teachers over as soon as possible and get out of this quagmire directly.

But he could also understand other people's disagreement. If Su Bei didn't have a God's perspective, he probably wouldn't think he should be called teacher.

It was such a pity, if they were willing to call him teacher, then he could just follow the trend and escape from danger. But if they were not willing, then he couldn't just walk away.

Otherwise, if he was the only one who did not participate in the subsequent plot, it is obvious that the comic author would not give him any additional content.

“Chirp—”

There were several loud bird calls from the sky, and Ling You's expression froze: "They are coming back."

If they don't make a decision now, they will have to leave now, but the next time they come to this place, they will inevitably face stricter supervision from the radicals.

Finally, Si Zhaohua gritted his teeth and made a decision: "Go in!"

We were already at the door, so it was not time to flee. All the doors had changed, not just this one. If I wanted to leave without calling the teacher, it would be the same no matter which door I went through.

After that, he explained the situation into the intercom and then walked in resolutely.

Su Bei sighed silently and followed the crowd towards the dark door.

The darkness passed away in a flash, and light came again.

As expected, they did not return to the outside world, but came to a small island.

As for how we know this is an island, it is because behind them is endless fog and a deep abyss.

Zhou Renjie, who had just turned his head inadvertently, was so frightened that he stepped back away from the cliff. If he hadn't remembered that he was still in a strange place, he would have screamed.

The others were also frightened, mainly because the scene was really weird. It was a dark night with a gusty wind. Behind them was a cliff that was so deep that they couldn't see the bottom. Below was a thick milky white fog that didn't seem to be naturally generated, but rather seemed to be deliberately created to block the view.

There was nothing around except some dry grass and dead trees. These vegetation formed a path intermittently. At the end of the path was a pitch-black castle, which seemed to deliberately lure tourists to pass by.

The five of them looked at each other. Even a fool could see that something was wrong with the castle. But now the only place they could go was the castle. They had no choice but to go.

"Let's take a rest here for a day and talk about it tomorrow morning." After thinking about it, the wooden iron man came up with a good plan. It was easier to get into trouble at night than during the day, so they might as well wait until tomorrow to make plans. Besides, after a busy day, everyone was tired and needed to recover both physically and mentally. Now was a good time to rest.

No one objected, so the iron man built a bonfire. In the dark night, the flame was a very obvious sign, so generally it was best not to light it.

But it was very cold here, and even though everyone was wearing vests, they could still feel the chilly wind. If they went to bed without lighting a fire, they would all have a cold and a fever the next morning.

It was one o'clock in the morning, and five people were on guard, with each person taking turns for an hour and a half. Su Bei was arranged to be the first one because he had consumed a lot of mental energy before and needed to recover more than the others.

He was bored and used a random stick to stir the fire, thinking that it would be nice if Li Shu was also in the group. Although he was not in his right mind, he brought comic books! It was hard to kill an hour and a half just by being in a daze.

He sighed and looked at the castle from afar. It was pitch black inside the castle, with no light coming out of the windows, and it looked as if no one lived there.

They didn't know what was inside, and they thought they would be caught as soon as they entered the door. They didn't expect that the "Black Flash" organization actually wanted to do something else.

Thinking of this, Su Bei raised his head again, looked at the sky thoughtfully, and muttered to himself: "This sky seems... a little fake"

The night sky was terribly dark, without any of the purple or other colors that a normal night sky should have, it was pure black. There were no stars in the sky, only a full moon. It was like the moon on August 16, round and bright, hanging in the sky like a light bulb.

If you don't look closely, nothing seems to be wrong, but if you look closely, the entire night sky, including the moon, seems a bit fake.

Su Bei looked thoughtful. What on earth is this place?

As he was thinking this, he suddenly heard a strange noise. Su Bei concentrated his mind and listened carefully.

“Squeak…”

What is the sound of something rubbing against the ground and grass?

Realizing something was wrong, Su Bei immediately stood up and woke up the others: "Wake up, there is danger!"

Seeing that everyone had regained consciousness, he turned his head and looked at the ground again. He was shocked to see a large number of black beetles crawling out of the ground. A closer look at the backs of the beetles revealed a mouth full of sharp teeth!

It doesn't look dangerous, but it's very malicious.

The others followed his gaze and noticed the beetles. They were startled and asked, "When did these come here?"

Su Bei shook his head. He happened to have a torch in his hand. He immediately swept the ground and burned a large area. He successfully cleared a clean space for them. The air was filled with an unpleasant burnt smell.

The bodies of the insects that were not burned to ashes were immediately surrounded by other insects. They devoured their companions' bodies in an instant and then crawled towards Su Bei.

The beetles were still swarming in, but since they could be easily killed, no one was nervous. Si Zhaohua smiled helplessly and said, "Fortunately, the pearl is not here."

Zhou Renjie, who also knew Ai Baozhu well, nodded sympathetically when he heard this: "With so many bugs, she will go crazy."

Following Su Bei's example, the woodcutter also found a wooden stick to help clean up the bugs, and then asked in confusion: "Where do these bugs come from?"

Ling You pointed to the edge of the island and said quietly, "From there."

Everyone looked in the direction of her finger and found that it was indeed the case. These endless streams of nightmare insects were crawling up from the bottom of the island.

Su Bei held a torch and cleared the nightmare insects while walking towards the edge of the island. When he reached the edge of the cliff and looked down, the ends of the nightmare insects were completely covered by fog, and it was impossible to see where they came from.

Seeing that these bugs looked easy to clean up, Zhou Renjie yawned loudly and slowly sat back in his original position: "Then I'll go to sleep first. Whoever keeps watch will clean up these bugs."

Si Zhaohua picked up the 200-pound fat man and said, "Wake up! Is this a suitable environment for sleeping?"

"Why not?" Zhou Renjie was really sleepy, rubbing his eyes and muttering, "Anyway, these bugs don't need so many of us to deal with them, one person is enough."

"Take another look," Si Zhaohua said coldly, and at the same time loosened his hand, allowing Zhou Renjie to fall to the ground without standing firmly.

After being thrown down like this, Zhou Renjie became more sober and looked towards the edge of the island. After observing for a while, he rubbed his eyes again and said uncertainly: "These nightmare insects seem to have grown bigger."

The insects in the circle at the very edge are larger than those in the inner layer, but the size is not obviously larger and cannot be seen without careful observation.

"Yes, it is big." The wooden iron man nodded and said in a steady tone, "Let's wait and see."

If it only gets bigger once, it's not a big deal, but if it keeps getting bigger, it will become a problem sooner or later.

After waiting for about five minutes, the new insects became larger and had a pair of small wings compared to the previous nightmare insects. They no longer crawled along the ground, but slowly flew into the air, flying towards the direction of the living creatures.

"This is... evolution." Zhou Renjie's tone was full of surprise.

Ling You frowned and spoke with difficulty: "Something's wrong."

The current situation is very wrong. If these little nightmare insects just grow slowly, it would be nothing. But they not only grow bigger, but also change their shape. This is a bit too strange.

"Perhaps the adult form of this nightmare insect has wings." Si Zhaohua said uncertainly, but he was sure of one thing, "We can't stay here for long."

Now the island is densely packed with these insects, some flying in the sky and some crawling on the ground, and their number is obviously increasing. Without a doubt, only the castle should be considered safe.

Even though everyone knew there was something wrong with the castle, they had to go there now. If the bugs evolved a few more times, they wouldn't be able to go there.

When they reached the door, everyone stopped at the same time. They really didn't want to go in. This was no different from going to a place where there was a tiger.

Oh, there is a difference. Others went there voluntarily, but they were forced to go.

"We'll have to delay it for a while." Su Bei suddenly said, "Let's break a glass cover."

After breaking the glass cover, not only will a protective shield appear, but most importantly, it can also send a signal to the teachers.

Although the teachers probably couldn't find the island right away, and probably couldn't rush over in time when they were in danger, it was at least a layer of protection.

After hearing his words, everyone thought it was feasible. They also thought that breaking the glass cover could send a distress signal to the teachers.

They were reluctant before because they didn't think there was any danger behind the door. But now facing this obvious trap, the passionate teenagers finally decided to be cautious.

"Then let me press it." Without waiting for others to answer, the wooden iron man directly smashed his own glass cover.

The glass cover provides a shield, which is equivalent to an extra layer of protection. The Iron Man directly smashed his own glass cover, which was actually a sacrifice for the benefit of everyone.

A pale blue circular light shield instantly rose up and enveloped him. The space inside the light was not too large. If all the people were thin, it could barely accommodate four people.

But the Iron Man and Zhou Renjie were obviously not within this range. With the two of them around, they could only protect three people at most, and they had to be in strange postures.

Si Zhaohua didn't want to squeeze in with the others at all, so he said decisively: "I'll go out. I can hold on for a while with my wings."

"Don't." Su Bei suddenly said, "Don't forget your special ability."

He knew Si Zhaohua's secret during the team battle. His ability could attract nightmare beasts. Once he activated his ability in this place, I'm afraid those insects would rush towards him. How long would his wings last?

After hearing this, Si Zhaohua was stunned for a moment, and finally understood what he meant. Indeed, he had really forgotten this drawback of his ability before. In a place like this where there are so many nightmare beasts, he really couldn't activate his ability if he didn't want to die.

But the question is, how did Su Bei know this secret?

In this school, apart from Zhou Renjie and Ai Baozhu, who have grown up together, probably only a few teachers know this secret.

But no matter who they are, they would definitely not tell anyone about it, so how did Su Bei know?

Si Zhaohua looked at him inquiringly, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "I thought you knew all our secrets."

Su Beisi didn't care about his scrutinizing gaze, and said with a smile: "Maybe I really know."

Now everyone was silent, their eyes flickered. Who doesn't have some secrets? If Su Bei really knew their secrets, it would be terrible.

Suddenly, Ling You said with a rare look of joy: "Found it!"

"What did you find?" Everyone was attracted by this voice and looked at her at the same time.

At this time, Ling You returned to his expressionless state, but his eyes still revealed a bit of joy: "A virus that can deal with insects."

It was only when she said this that the others suddenly remembered that, yes, Ling You's ability was [Plague]. Facing such a large number of enemies was clearly her home turf!

"What should we do?" The wooden iron man's eyes lit up and he asked immediately.

Ling You thought for a moment and asked: "Are there any sweets or meat?"

Although this virus is very powerful, it is not very contagious and needs to be spread through food. Fortunately, the nightmare bugs will eat the corpses of their companions, so as long as a little bit of it is spread at the beginning, it will be fine.

Zhou Renjie immediately took out some cakes and sausages and handed them to her. It was a lucky coincidence as these were the things he brought with him the most.

After getting the necessary items, Ling You used his supernatural powers on the food and then scattered it around. The sweets were not favored by the nightmare insects, but the meat products were immediately surrounded by the insects.

After a while, the nightmare insects that had eaten the food swayed a few times as if they were drunk, and then lost their vitality. Their companions did not notice anything unusual at all, and went over to devour them according to their biological instinct.

The nightmare worms that had eaten their companions' corpses then repeated the same thing, first swaying for a while, and then losing their lives. The whole process lasted less than five seconds.

Each insect corpse can be eaten by three or five insects to a greater or lesser extent, and these three or five insects will become a new source of poison.

Then, one could see with the naked eye that more and more insects fell down, and a steady stream of insects continued to come up and follow the old path of their companions.

In just half an hour, the entire open space on the island was filled with the corpses of insects, a large black mass that was both terrifying and disgusting.

It is worth mentioning that over time, these insects have undergone many new changes. Some have grown fangs, some are covered with barbs, and some have eight legs like spiders.

Fortunately, their habits have not changed and they all like to eat the corpses of their companions.

The air was filled with a foul smell that made people want to vomit. Si Zhaohua resisted the urge to vomit: "I can't stand it anymore, it smells so bad!"

Others who didn't have his cleanliness fetish could still tolerate it. The wooden iron man looked at Ling You in shock and admiration: "Your ability is really too strong."

The opponents who she originally thought were too numerous to handle were actually defeated by her easily. It could even be said that she won without bloodshed, and she created a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood without any effort.

Ling You had never really used his special abilities before. Although everyone knew rationally that [Plague] must be very powerful, they had no real sense of it unless they had seen it with their own eyes.

It was not until they saw this scene that they truly felt that [Plague] was indeed the supernatural power called a war machine by their teachers. If it were really used on an actual battlefield, they could not imagine how much damage [Plague] would cause.

Because of her cold white skin, although she had consumed a lot of her mental energy, Ling You didn't look very weak, but her lips became a little whiter. She had a blank expression on her face, but there was a faint blush on her face, and it was obvious that she was very excited inside.

She had never had so many experimental subjects to practice with before, and this was the first time that Ling You used her own supernatural powers to eliminate so many enemies. Not to mention other people, even she herself had a completely new understanding of her own supernatural powers after this experience.

No matter how others say her supernatural powers are powerful, it is better to use them yourself and see them with your own eyes.

"Then do we not have to enter the castle?" Zhou Renjie asked happily. The castle looked haunted, and he really didn't want to go to Mingzhi Mountain.

The wooden iron man nodded and gave Chong Lingyou a thumbs up: "At least for now, it should not be used. This ability is really powerful. I have learned a lot."

"Don't take it lightly." Si Zhaohua looked serious. Although he was shocked by the ability displayed by Ling You, he did not let down his guard because of his teammate's strength.

It was obvious that the person behind the scenes wanted to force them into the castle, so it would be impossible to let them stay outside so easily.

If nothing unexpected happens, an accident is about to happen.

Sure enough, not long after he finished speaking, new insects swarmed in. These insects looked like ants, but they were completely different from the previous ones. They ignored the corpses of their companions and headed straight for Su Bei and them.
