Chapter 99
After dinner, Su Beichun gave Si Zhaohua a look and took the initiative to go and chat with Li Jie. However, he didn't talk about anything special, just asked about the other party's family situation, and occasionally showed an envious expression. He also talked about his life before entering this alien space. In addition to showing the misery of that life, he also talked about some interesting things.
Although he often looks like he is not willing to interact with people at school, it is actually very easy for Su Bei to make friends if he really wants to.
Li Jie completely forgot that he needed to keep an eye on the mine. The two of them chatted with Su Bei all the way to the mine. Suddenly, he realized a problem: "By the way, where is your friend?"
Hearing this question, Su Bei pretended to look around and was also stunned: "It's almost time to go to work, why hasn't he come yet?"
Then he explained: "We just finished eating, and he said he had to go to the bathroom, so I came to chat with you, and then I don't think I saw him anymore..."
At this time, three people walked in together, looking nervous and excited, and one of them glanced at Su Bei from time to time with a guilty look.
Su Bei understood that it was these three people who did it. He pretended not to notice their looks and anxiously looked at the time and the direction of the door.
With only one minute left before work time, Su Bei finally couldn't sit still any longer and said, "No, I have to go find Xiao Cao."
"Hey, don't go!" Li Jie hurriedly stopped him, and probably because they had just chatted so well, he said kindly, "It's definitely too late for him to come back now. It's useless even if you go. You will only get yourself hurt."
Su Bei seemed to have listened to the advice, and scratched his head in a somewhat decadent manner: "What should we do? Where did he go? Do you know what the punishment will be if he doesn't come... Or I will ask for leave for him later."
It didn't make sense, it seemed like he was very worried about Si Zhaohua. Li Jie didn't doubt it either, he had originally suspected that Si Zhaohua had deliberately not come in order to find the secret of this alien space. But now seeing Su Bei, who was good friends with him, so anxious, he dispelled this suspicion.
He comforted her, "Don't worry, we'll go back and look for him after work. You can't ask for leave for him, you can only ask for sick leave, but a doctor will check on him during sick leave. If he's not sick, you'll be punished as well."
As for what the punishment was, a hint of pity flashed across Li Jie's eyes, but he still didn't answer.
Su Bei didn't ask much, but looked uneasy.
After a while, the supervisor came and found that one person was missing. He asked directly: "Does anyone know where the pasture is?"
No one answered. Su Bei wanted to speak, but Li Jie pulled him back, so he could only remain silent.
Seeing that no one said anything, Si Zhaohua was definitely late. The supervisor sneered: "You guys go to work first."
After saying that, he turned and left the mine.
Of course, Si Zhaohua disappeared next. The next day when he came to work, the supervisor announced the punishment for Si Zhaohua. Because of his lateness, he lost the job and has now left.
Su Bei knew very well that the "resignation" mentioned by the supervisor definitely did not mean simply releasing people from the alien space, but sending them to feed the nightmare beasts. However, he pretended not to know and even pretended to be relieved.
That night, when Su Bei went to the bathroom, he saw the mark left by Si Zhaohua at the place they had agreed on. It seemed that he should be fine, so Su Bei was relieved.
However, on the third day, he still followed Si Zhaohua's mark and took the initiative to find where he was imprisoned. After all, if they couldn't come out on their own, Su Bei would still be responsible for taking Meng Huai and the others to find each other.
What Si Zhaohua left behind was a red leaf. He could only leave a leaf, but no more clues. It can be seen that time was tight and he couldn't do more. They had discussed it before and arranged a total of three marking points, and they would place a mark at the closest point.
The mark is a leaf, and you can see that there are trees where Si Zhaohua is now.
But this place is clearly a large expanse of red sand. Where do the trees come from?
Su Bei was very confused and walked around the toilet but didn't see anything. The main reason is that although there are many sand dunes in this place, if there are trees, they will definitely not be hidden. After walking around and seeing nothing, it can only prove that there are no trees in this area. If there is no forest, where did Si Zhaohua find the leaves?
After standing there and thinking for a while, Su Bei decided to think in another direction. If there is no forest on the ground, then is it possible that the forest is underground?
As soon as this conjecture came into his mind, Su Bei felt it was very reasonable. It was known that the main resources of this alien space were hidden underground, so who could guarantee that the nightmare beast was on the ground?
Besides, if there were trees or nightmare beasts in this place, they would be easily discovered. After all, it was just a bare expanse of red sand, and even if there were a few sand dunes, they would not block the view.
But the problem is how can he get down underground? He can't just use a shovel to dig next to the toilet. Not to mention whether he can dig it out or not, it would be difficult for him to have enough time to dig in a place like the toilet where people often come.
You still have to find the correct entrance, digging it yourself may not work.
Thinking of this, Su Bei took out a camera from his storage ring and placed it on a big tree next to the toilet, ensuring that the camera would not be discovered by others, but would still be able to fully record what happened near the toilet.
After that, he went directly to the mine and started his plan. If he just waited, who knows how long it would take for the next person to make a mistake and his camera to record useful information.
So he must take the initiative to find someone who has made a mistake, prompting the supervisor to go to the place of punishment and open the entrance.
There was not much time left for lunch break when he arrived. The supervisor came early this time and integrated Su Bei's ideas. He rubbed his eyes, making his eye sockets look a little red, and then walked towards the supervisor.
"Supervisor, I want to report someone who deliberately framed my roommate."
"Oh." The supervisor was rarely interested. He guessed what Su Bei was talking about. After all, he was the one who arrested Si Zhaohua himself. Although he knew that the child was innocent, it was a pity that rules were rules. He would be punished if he was late.
I didn't expect that someone would actually stand up for her. This was a bit surprising. If I remember correctly, the relationship between these two people seemed to be quite good. This child was quite affectionate and loyal.
Without hesitation, Su Bei pointed at the last three people who came in, and said angrily: "Xiao Cao is very well-behaved. How could he not come when he knew there was a punishment? Someone must have prevented him from coming, and the last three people who came in were the culprits!"
The supervisor smiled and said, "You know that we need to look at the evidence when investigating a case. We can't just rely on your one-sided statement."
"I have evidence!" Su Bei answered immediately, "If you check the three of them or their beds, you will definitely find some money. There is a grass radical mark on the money. As long as you find the money, you can be sure that they stole Xiaocao's money. Stealing is definitely worth being punished."
At this point, his face was full of regret: "I thought about it carefully today. They must have heard that Xiaocao and I said we brought money yesterday, so they did something evil."
Hearing him say this, the supervisor's face flashed with admiration. Su Bei was able to find the perpetrators so quickly, find evidence, and use the evidence to make them suffer the consequences of their actions. It must be said that it is amazing for a teenager to do this for his friends.
Originally, the supervisor didn't like people framing their companions, but he was just too lazy to get involved in the matter. However, since the friend of the framed person could produce evidence, he naturally didn't mind taking care of it.
Just as Su Bei expected, the three people all had the money he had prepared before. Some were on their bodies, and some were under their pillows. Without exception, they were all found.
The evidence was solid, the supervisor sneered and immediately wanted to arrest the three people. The three people naturally refused and tried to escape. As expected, the supervisor was a superpower, and he controlled a large iron hammer to kill one of them on the spot. The other two people were directly paralyzed to the ground.
The others were also terrified. How could a group of ordinary people have ever seen a person with special powers? Not to mention a person with special powers killing people? Everyone was trembling with fear and dared not say a word.
The supervisor was very satisfied with his authority this time, and shouted: "I warn you, after you come in, you must be honest and work hard. Whoever dares to violate the regulations or frame his companions again, this will be your fate!"
After saying this, he grabbed a person with each hand and left the mine.
After he left, Li Jie quickly asked: "What's going on?"
Su Bei's eyes were still red, and he looked very sad: "The more I thought about it yesterday, the more I felt something was wrong. Why didn't Xiaocao come? He wasn't going to the toilet."
"When I was sleeping at night, I suddenly thought of what we said when we were mining yesterday. I told him to be careful with the money he brought with him so that it wouldn't be stolen. There seemed to be a few people around me, and maybe someone heard it. Among them were the three boys who came last yesterday. I thought about their behavior at that time and it seemed wrong. The more I thought about it, the more I felt it was wrong, so I went to report it to the supervisor."
After hearing what he said, Li Jie guessed what happened and patted him on the shoulder: "Please accept my condolences. You must learn this lesson in the future. Don't you understand that you should not show off your wealth to others?"
Su Bei hung his head and looked dejected, as if he didn't want to talk. Li Jie was tactful and didn't bother him anymore.
After the night shift, Su Bei took the opportunity to go to the toilet to get the camera, pause the recording function, and open the previous records.
Sure enough, he saw the supervisor carrying the two boys to the back of the toilet, pushing a huge rock back, and a cave appeared underneath. I walked into the cave alone with the two boys, and walked out again after five minutes.
Su Bei raised the corners of his mouth.
Found it.
Just after midnight, there was a loud bang. All the people who were sleeping jumped up from their beds in panic and looked around. "What happened?"
Su Bei naturally knew what was going on. It looked like Meng Huai had broken in. He was also panicking. He put on his shoes and ran out of the cabin, saying as he ran, "Is there an explosion somewhere? Let me go check it out!"
Li Jie, who was still just waking up from sleep, answered blankly: "What's the point of you going to see it?"
However, all that awaited him was a light breeze.
Here, Su Bei had already arrived at the crime scene following the sound of the explosion. Meng Huai, wearing a tight black T-shirt and with bulging muscles, was confronting several people. Or rather, those people were confronting him unilaterally.
Every time Meng Huai took a step forward, those people would take a step back vigilantly. It was a completely one-sided fight.
"Teacher!" Su Bei called out in a low voice.
The next second Meng Huai turned his head and looked straight at him. After confirming that it was Su Bei who was shouting, he stomped his feet casually. In an instant, a large area of the ground around him collapsed, and the people surrounding him were all trapped in it.
This power was too strong, Su Bei was amazed. He could see that the ground collapse was not caused by any earth attribute skill, but was caused by pure inhuman power.
It's not just about strength, but also about sufficient control. Otherwise, it's impossible to accurately trap the surrounding enemies. Both of these points are beyond his reach now.
After trapping the enemy, Meng Huai strode towards Su Bei and asked, "Why are you alone?"
"Si Zhaohua went to find Jiang Tianming and the others." Su Bei said as he took Meng Huai to the restroom, not forgetting to hand him his previous video.
When I walked to the toilet, I just finished watching the video. Meng Huai raised his eyebrows: "It's hidden really well, how did you find it?"
Su Bei briefly explained their plan, and watching Meng Huai push the boulder away as easily as he pushed open a door, he asked curiously, "Teacher, your ability is related to strength [Beast Tamer] [Psychic Warrior] [General]?"
Later on, he began to speculate in the direction of fantasy. After all, it was a superpower, and any type was possible, as long as it was within the scope of a profession. After all, according to his previous speculation, the most likely similarity between Meng Huai's superpower and Si Zhaohua's superpower was that they were both professional.
It's a professional type, it has the ability to summon, and it's powerful, so he can only think of these few options. In fact, there must be other possibilities, but he really can't think of them at the moment.
After listening to Su Bei's guesses, Meng Huai knew that he had guessed the point, but he just hadn't guessed it right yet.
He spread his hands and said, "Keep guessing."
As they were talking, the boulder had been completely pushed away, and the underground cave appeared in front of the two. Just as the two were about to go down, they heard a "bang" explosion from below.
Meng Huai frowned and was about to go down immediately. Su Bei followed closely and judged at the same time: "That was the sound made by Mo Xiaotian's supernatural power."
Mo Xiaotian's special ability [Air] can create air blocks that can explode. Su Bei had seen it many times before and was quite familiar with the sound. He recognized it immediately this time.
As he spoke, Su Bei activated his special power and used the [Gear of Destiny] to adjust his little finger to the far left.
It is known that there must be some opportunity in the underground space, and because he did not go, he probably missed it. But if he is extremely lucky now, will there be a chance to pick up a bargain?
Following Meng Huai underground, there was indeed a scarlet forest below the cave entrance. The leaves, trees, and land were all glowing red, like a world made of red.
The two men rushed towards the direction where the explosion came from. Not long after they walked, several puffs of black mist flew towards them as if fleeing.
"This is the black mist that penetrated into Zhao Xiaoyu's body!" Su Bei shouted without hesitation, and at the same time he dodged to the side.
After hearing his words, Meng Huai conjured up a large spiritual crystal out of thin air and absorbed all the black mist.
The spirit crystal is a prop that a wealthy psychic like him always carries when he goes out. He had heard from Su Bei and Si Zhaohua before that this crystal was most likely the container of the black mist. So when he saw the black mist and heard what Su Bei said, he took out the crystal immediately.
Following Jiang Tianming, the other four quickly ran out of the forest. Seeing them, they were delighted for a moment, and then Jiang Tianming said anxiously: "Teacher, you just saw..."
"Here." Meng Huai shook the spiritual crystal in his hand that had absorbed the black energy and turned pitch black. "Hurry back. This crystal can't withstand the energy inside for too long."
He was about to turn back when he suddenly remembered something: "Oh, let's go to the room where you found the black fog first to make sure there are no fish that have escaped."
When you solve a problem, you must solve it cleanly and efficiently, otherwise there will be endless trouble.
Several people came to the villa in the forest and searched separately. Su Bei went to the master bedroom on the second floor, flipped through it casually and prepared to leave. Just as he was about to go out, he suddenly tripped over his shoes on the ground and accidentally bumped into the cabinet next to him.
The next second, the solid wood part in the middle of the cabinet suddenly popped open, and a drawer appeared in front of Su Bei. There was an exquisite box in the drawer.
Su Bei was shocked, but soon realized that this was probably the effect of the "Gear of Destiny". He would certainly not let down the benefits brought to him by his special ability, so he opened the box and then widened his eyes.
Inside the box is a pink heart-shaped fruit. If I remember correctly, the shape of this fruit is exactly the same as the one Zhao Xiaoyu mentioned at the time, which can make ordinary people awaken supernatural powers!
No way! Su Bei almost burst into swearing. He just wanted to use his supernatural powers to improve his strength, but fate directly put 10 billion into his hands. This is too outrageous.
Holding this hot potato, Su Bei hesitated for a while, and finally made up his mind to stuff the box directly into the storage ring.
Anyway, no one has found this thing, so if he finds it, it will be his. Then the academy will just think that it was taken by the Black Flash organization and they won't be able to trace it back to him.
Such a good thing, who knows when it will be used in the future. Su Bei is not selfless enough to return it to the school. In this respect, he is very similar to Zhao Xiaoyu, both of them are never generous.
After checking, no problems were found, and everyone walked out together. After leaving the villa, Su Bei curiously asked why the explosion had just occurred.
Jiang Tianming answered him: "We have been investigating the secrets here, and not long ago we finally found a huge crystal ball with black air lingering inside."
"It looks the same as the one we first saw, but it's more than three times bigger." Si Zhaohua added.
After he finished speaking, Jiang Tianming continued: "We decided to destroy the crystal ball. Although no one can touch the crystal, Xiaotian's ability can unexpectedly cause damage to the black mist. Our plan was good at first, and we could blow up the entire crystal and the black mist inside in one go, but..."
He glanced at Mo Xiaotian, who scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "I accidentally put the explosive block off-center, and some of the black mist was not destroyed."
Wu Mingbai's smile was so innocent, but his words were merciless: "Some people don't seem to be careful at all."
Su Bei suddenly laughed and said softly, "You are really careless."
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him in surprise. Although Su Bei usually likes to watch dramas, he rarely gets so weird as long as the matter has nothing to do with him. This is more like what Wu Mingliang or Li Shu would say. What happened today?
However, Mo Xiaotian acted as if he didn't hear anything and answered foolishly, "I will definitely not be so careless next time!"
Su Bei didn't say anything more, because if he said more, it would be really OOC. The reason why he said that just now was not really sarcastic, but just wanted to lay a foreshadowing that he already knew that Mo Xiaotian was an undercover.
Lan Subing comforted him in a low voice: "It's okay. Fortunately, the teacher finally took away the black mist. Maybe we can figure out how this thing is made after we go back."
Speaking of this, Jiang Tianming remembered something else: "Oh, right, these black mists should have been developed using nightmare beasts. We saw that they often captured a lot of nightmare beasts."
Meng Huai listened to them while leading them to the exit of this alien space. Seeing the current appearance of the exit, even Si Zhaohua couldn't help but open his mouth in an ungracious way: "How did they do this?"
The black hole that was originally like a cave had now completely disappeared, leaving only a tattered black hole. The surroundings of the black hole were uneven, as if it had been torn apart by human hands.
Three foreigners were guarding the door. When they saw Meng Huai and the others, they immediately surrounded them. One of them, a man wearing a black hat, suppressed his anger and asked in a language they were familiar with: "Excuse me, Mr. Meng, why did you barge in so rudely? Are you disregarding the peace and friendship between our two countries?"
Meng Huai sneered and said bluntly: "You arrested our students and now you dare to turn the tables on us."
"What students?" The man was stunned for a moment, then his eyes fell on the children behind Meng Huai, with a surprised expression, "We didn't arrest your students, the workers here all signed up voluntarily. There must be something wrong!"
He really didn't know how these students got in. If he knew, would he have taken these troubles in? Even if he really took the students from the School of Supernatural Powers in, he couldn't have let them live at this time and leave such a big handle!
"If you don't believe me, you can check it." Meng Huai didn't feel guilty at all. They all had student ID cards, so it was easy to check their identities.
Hearing this, the man in the black hat knew that the other party couldn't be lying. Isn't this just cheating? He felt so wronged. He originally thought that he was right, but when he saw these students, he instantly knew that he was wrong. After all, he was the one who arrested the students first, and whether intentionally or not, it was reasonable for the other party to break in to save the students.
Now, they have failed to steal the chicken and lost the rice. God knows how much trouble these ancestors have caused since they have been locked up down there for so long and are still alive!
