Terrible news! My deskmate's first chapter is gone!

Before long, the water in the pool turned completely into a viscous blue dye.

They roll and surge like waves.

Then, with a "smack," it crashed onto the diving platform like waves hitting rocks.

"painter?"

The bald imposter and the shadow imposter noticed the situation immediately, and their hands unconsciously stopped moving.

"Stop playing tricks! Show yourself now!"

Bald Pseudo-Man has a bad temper and a very straightforward personality; he can't be tactful at all when it comes to speaking.

"Even with a fraction of your life saved, you still dare to be so arrogant!"

An electronic voice suddenly came from above. Everyone looked up and saw that the speaker was actually a basketball!

next second.

The surrounding chairs, towels, and other swimming-related sports equipment rushed into the pool like monsters with legs.

It exploded at a certain distance in the air.

Like rain, different colors of paint are mixed into the pool.

Only then did everyone present realize that most of the things on the third floor were actually painted by the artist!

The pool's color changed rapidly, like someone who turns their back on their word, eventually forming an indescribable hue.

Then, the water in the pool was no longer viscous, but a lump!

The lump of water stood up like clay, and after a while of automatic kneading, it transformed into a mini Ultraman nearly five meters tall!

He has a signature blue light on his chest, and he even makes a special "ha" sound when he appears, imitating the style quite well.

The ceiling height on the third floor is over 20 meters, so it's not crowded.

But it's not over yet.

Suddenly, a person jumped out from the bottom of the pool. This person looked exactly like Saito, who had been smashed into paint earlier.

After Saito jumped ashore, he did a double jump with a "whoosh," soaring high into the air.

The leather chain on the back of the little Ultraman was pulled down at just the right moment, and Saito jumped right in, becoming one with the machine.

My true self?

This was Chen Xi's first reaction.

Because the other person's skin was different this time, the color was different, it was obviously a real person, not a painted person.

It seems that the real person guessed the fake person's plan for tonight, so he lurked at the bottom of the pool, preparing to counterattack.

If successful, the painter should be able to advance directly to stage II.

The identity of a painter seems easy, but becoming a true painter is extremely difficult. Simply being good at painting is not enough; some are even recognized as painters only after their death.

Therefore, tonight is also a game for the painter. He wants to use these two fakes to trap and defeat them, so that he can advance to stage II.

"You two get out of the way!"

"Let me handle these two guys."

"They planned to steal my identity, little did they know that I had already laid a trap here, and many of the things here were drawn by me."

The sound came from the mouth of the little Ultraman who had no mouth.

It was clearly Saito, the operator who had just gone inside, speaking.

The painter's abilities were even more impressive than Chen Xi had imagined. From this perspective, it was entirely possible to set up traps in advance, and even create a city so realistically that it could be mistaken for a real one!

Of course, this is on the premise that you have enough mental power.

Moreover, these drawn things should possess the characteristics of the things themselves, only the intensity cannot be reproduced.

Just like the character Kakarot created by the author.

"Thank you, but..."

Chen Xi did not back down an inch, directly applying his ability to treat everyone equally to the bald imposter.

"Quickly kill that bald imposter! I've sealed his innate talent!"

Chen Xi didn't know how many experience points the painter needed to upgrade his identity.

However, Chen Xi must work with the painter to kill the bald fake man in order to gain 10% experience points and advance to stage II.

This step is crucial. The reason he and Yang Wei have been looking for wild fakes is because they are both terrible at combat!

We can only rely on physical fitness to kill enemies, and the improvement of physical fitness is synchronous. Excluding the factor of ordinary people, if everyone improves, it is the same as no improvement.

"Alright, but please don't interfere, you fake person."

OK.

Chen Xi gave a simple answer.

It seems the painter's experience points are lacking; 10% isn't enough for him to level up.

But Chen Xi didn't care. He only needed 10% of the profits. The painter should be able to advance to stage II after killing another fake man, which would be a happy ending for everyone.

"I see, what an overbearing extraordinary characteristic!"

The bald fake man looked at his clenched right fist and said thoughtfully.

Unfortunately, this sudden turn of events didn't cause him any panic; instead, he smiled.

"You guys have such bad luck."

"Both of you possess extraordinary abilities, but unfortunately for you, you've run into us!"

us?

As Chen Xi was puzzled, the shadowy figure suddenly shouted:

"rise!"

The next second, his own shadow stood up from the ground.

Not only that, its appearance has also changed to that of a bald, fake human, except that it has no color, only the pure black of its shadow.

"whee!"

Immediately afterwards, that pale golden, flowing light appeared again on the bald fake man's fist.

"I acknowledge your extraordinary abilities are strong, but his shadow, besides infiltration, also possesses the ability to 'substitute.'"

"Your seal has already been borne by that shadow."

Chen Xi frowned. Just as the other party had said, his ability had been perfectly countered for the first time.

His ability to grant equality to all was successfully unleashed, but the target became a dummy. If he canceled the target, it would be pointless to use it on the shadowy dummy.

But there is another option right now: to treat all painters equally!

It would be better to give Chen Xi a magic paintbrush-like ability, even if he's not very good at it.

Just as Chen Xi was preparing to change targets.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!"

Saito, piloting the mini Ultraman, suddenly made a gesture like a primary school student asking a question in class and fired a ray at the shadow puppet.

It turned out to be the case.

Chen Xi narrowed his eyes slightly.

After the shadow puppet used its substitution ability, the real person became unable to move.

Chen Xi didn't notice this immediately because he still had other options, but the painter did.

"Don't even think about it!"

The bald fake man stood directly in front of the shadow fake man and threw a punch, instantly blasting the little Ultraman's ray into a hole.

"What?!"

Saito's surprised voice came from inside the little Ultraman.

"Didn't I already say that?"

"You guys have such bad luck!"

"The King's Fist is specifically designed to counter your flashy abilities. It strikes directly at the target's core. Your ray is nothing more than paint to me!"

The bald imposter was incredibly confident at this moment, and a small smile appeared on his lips:

"In Phase I, the King's Fist is the most powerful in actual combat!"

"Even your emperor, if we only consider Stage I, couldn't defeat me!"

After the bald fake man finished speaking, he threw another punch. The punch hit the little Ultraman's chest light directly, and the blue light instantly turned red and emitted a sound like an ambulance.

"Beep beep beep..."
