A Guide for Background Characters to Survive in a Manga - Chapter 349 : Chapter 349

Chapter 349

The rest was simple. Su Bei eliminated most of the Nightmare Beasts in one go, and the remaining ones could be easily dealt with by the Ability users in the city.

However, everyone didn’t act immediately. Instead, they stared blankly at the scene before them. The Nightmare Beast that had been fighting them a second ago was suddenly and accurately crushed to death by a rock. They were completely clueless.

A girl looked up at the clear blue sky, her face full of confusion. “Is this…… divine retribution?”

Everyone’s gaze involuntarily fell on the person standing on the city wall. While using his Ability, Su Bei’s disguise had been removed, revealing his original appearance. Whether it was his golden hair or purple eyes, they were far more dazzling than his disguised appearance, not to mention that handsome face that still carried a youthful air.

Such a person standing on the tallest city wall was hard not to notice.

Perhaps no one saw him using his Ability just now, but with the strange deaths of these Nightmare Beasts and the strange appearance of an extra person on the city wall, anyone with a little bit of brain could connect the two.

It seemed they were saved by this suddenly appearing young man?

On the other side, the few remaining guards on the city wall saw Su Bei’s actions. The golden light spots surrounding him and the faint Destiny Compass behind him made them realize that the changes in the city were likely caused by Su Bei.

“Was it…… was it you who saved everyone?” The guard who had told Su Bei where Ai Baozhu was earlier hesitated before stepping forward and asking hesitantly.

Su Bei turned to look at him and did not deny what he had done. He wasn’t sure if this plot would be drawn in the manga again, so he maintained his persona, a playful expression on his face. “It was me. So have you guys thought about how to repay me?”

Hearing this, the guard was stunned for a moment, then said with a serious face, “I will find a way to repay you. Judging by your age, you should be a student from some academy, right? After this battle is over, I will go to your academy with a banner and the bonus we crowdfunded to thank you.”

I had to say, this kind of serious attitude was indeed the bane of all jokers. Su Bei immediately lost the desire to speak and turned to leave. His mission was complete. He could either return to the North Pole or find someone else.

Logically, Su Bei should have returned to the North Pole. Although Jiang Tianming’s side could achieve significant results, this battle would obviously not end so easily. It could last for a few months at the least, or even years at the most.

After all, this was the Nightmare Beasts’ last chance. They would definitely not stop until all their combat power was exhausted. So returning to the North Pole would definitely be more convenient.

But similarly, Su Bei also knew that this time he had exposed the fact that he was still alive, and the Nightmare Beasts would definitely not let him go. If he was left alone in the North Pole, he would likely be found and besieged. So it was safer to be with the main group.

Although he had exposed the fact that he was still alive, he didn’t think he had made a mistake by coming here. Firstly, on this trip, he had genuinely saved a whole city of people. Secondly, he had also created some momentum for the “Destiny” organization, making his future better.

Most importantly, even if his identity was exposed, with his Ability, Su Bei was confident that he would not die.

The changes in the large pointer were highly predictive. If the Nightmare Beasts really wanted to make a move on him, he could see his death at least a day in advance. At that time, whether it was simply adjusting the pointer and running away, or using this incident to counterattack the Nightmare Beasts, the initiative was in his hands.

It could be said that as long as his Mental Energy and Ability were still there, and he only needed to protect himself, Su Bei was absolutely invincible.

At first glance, it seemed that it didn’t matter even if he returned to the North Pole. After all, he could check his status at any time and didn’t have to worry about the threat of death.

But if that were the case, Su Bei was worried that his large pointer would always be in the lower half. Once he adjusted it back, a second one would come immediately. If this continued, even if his Mental Energy wasn’t exhausted, he himself would be half-dead from exhaustion. So it was better to seek the protection of the government.

Besides, to be honest, Su Bei actually wanted to help. While he certainly disliked trouble, how could he really not participate in a battle like this that required the participation of the whole people and threatened the safety of all mankind?

You know, one of the important reasons he was willing to help the “Manga Consciousness” back then was to save this world!

But there was no need to rush to leave now. He had to at least wait for Ai Baozhu to wake up before he could go. Although the Nightmare Beasts’ conspiracy had been resolved, she was still in a coma, and there were no other classmates from their class here. Leaving directly would be too irresponsible.

But before Su Bei could reach the stairs, the guard behind him seemed to have suddenly thought of something and exclaimed in shock, “You’re that…… what was his name again? That…… Su Bei, right!”

While speaking, his hands were not idle. He quickly took out his phone, found the previous announcement on the official Ability website, and sure enough, he saw Su Bei’s photo on it. The person in the photo, who was said to have sacrificed his life to completely eliminate the Nightmare Beasts, looked exactly the same as the golden-haired, purple-eyed young man in front of him.

Unexpectedly, he was recognized. Su Bei was also stunned for a second, then nodded. “That’s me.”

“You’re still alive! That’s great, I knew a good person like you wouldn’t die!” the guard said happily. “A great disaster survived will bring good fortune later. You will definitely be safe and sound in the future.”

This blessing was what Su Bei wanted. The expression on his face immediately softened, and he nodded as if it were a matter of course. “Thank you, I think so too.”

Without any further delay, Su Bei quickly left the city wall and went to the room where Ai Baozhu was unconscious. At this time, Ai Baozhu had not yet woken up, but she was sleeping soundly, obviously not in any life-threatening danger.

Su Bei bent down and carried her to the bed, then forced himself to be energetic and began to deal with the corpse next to him.

The other party was, after all, the leader of Refuge City No. 3. Only I, and at most Ai Baozhu, knew about his betrayal. Not knowing when Ai Baozhu would wake up, it was best for me to prepare the evidence first.

Otherwise, if I was slandered afterward, even if I could eventually prove my innocence, it would be quite a downer. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. In a situation where it was known that a bad situation might be faced, placing hope on the government to be trustworthy enough was not Su Bei’s character. Clearing the obstacles in advance and leaving myself with no worries was what he would do.

As for how to obtain evidence of the leader’s betrayal——Su Bei rummaged through the item library of the “Destiny” organization for a while and soon took out many items. These items could make souls tell the truth, look into people’s memories, directly investigate the truth……

But for the other party to have mixed his way into being a leader of a government refuge, he really had a few tricks up his sleeve. Without exception, all these items failed on him. When he used the last item, the man’s corpse almost turned to dust. Fortunately, Su Bei used an item in time to preserve the body, which prevented me from looking like I was destroying the evidence.

Putting the corpse aside, Su Bei rubbed his temples wearily. He had used so much Mental Energy in one go just now. To be honest, his head was splitting now. If it weren’t for this mess, he would have already returned to his room and fallen asleep.

After thinking for a moment, Su Bei stopped looking for clues on the corpse. Instead, he used the last bit of his Mental Energy to adjust his luck and then wandered around the room.

This was his residence; there had to be some tool to communicate with the Nightmare Beasts.

Sure enough, he found something strange this time. At that moment, Su Bei was walking by the bed in the bedroom. Because of his lack of energy, he accidentally bumped into the lamp post next to it. As the lamp post shook, a headset fell out.

This should be a key piece of evidence. Even if the person behind it cut off the connection with the headset, with the means of an Ability user, evidence could still be found through it. Putting the headset into his storage space, Su Bei let out a long sigh of relief.

He really couldn’t hold on anymore. Su Bei sat down next to the unconscious Ai Baozhu and closed his eyes to rest. It was impossible to sleep; the person was still unconscious. Closing his eyes to rest was fine. Although it was a bit uncomfortable, his Mental Energy could still recover. A high-level Mental Energy had this advantage: it recovered quickly and had no strict recovery conditions.

After resting for about an hour, there was another clamor outside. Su Bei opened his eyes, realizing that reinforcements should have arrived.

If the matter wasn’t over, the reinforcements certainly wouldn’t have arrived so quickly. Even the leader of the refuge city had betrayed them, so it was impossible for the people outside to receive a distress signal. Even if they received their distress signal, it was very likely they couldn’t break into the city.

Yawning, Su Bei slowly walked to the door and opened it. Outside the door, several strange Ability users were cautiously approaching. Seeing the door suddenly open, they immediately took on an attacking posture.

Su Bei was not nervous because of their overreaction and said lazily, “Come in. The traitor is already dead. Ai Baozhu is in a coma. Did you bring a doctor? It would be a good time to check her physical condition.”

The three people who came over looked at each other. One of them said sternly, “First, put your hands up and stand aside. We……”

Before he could finish, another Ability user next to him suddenly said in surprise, “Are you Su Bei?”

“Su Bei? Who’s that? Someone you know?” Hearing her say that, the leader turned his head and asked in confusion.

The girl reacted quickly and immediately searched for the news on the official Ability user website, enlarging Su Bei’s ID photo. “Look, isn’t this him?”

“It really is! But doesn’t it say here that this person is already dead?” The man turned his head back to look at Su Bei, his tone much better than before. “What’s your situation? Are you still alive?”

“Just faking my death. Can we not waste time?” Su Bei replied helplessly. He was still waiting for these people to take over Ai Baozhu so he could get a good sleep.

After confirming his identity, the few of them nodded repeatedly. After entering and seeing the leader’s corpse, their expressions became vigilant again. Su Bei wasn’t angry either. “I’ll sleep in this room first. You can send someone to watch me at the door. I have evidence of this person colluding with the Nightmare Beasts. You can report this matter now, and I’ll take out the evidence when others come to investigate.”

Hearing him say that, the three of them immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he was willing to cooperate; otherwise, they really wouldn’t know what to do.

Su Bei swaggered out with Ai Baozhu, then lay down on that bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.
