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

"Get bigger?"

"Is there?"

Yang Wei muttered something to himself, then glanced at the black tower ahead as he drove:

"I don't feel anything."

"Oh, I see. Then maybe it was just my imagination."

Chen Xi gave a soft reply and said nothing more.

The Black Tower has indeed grown larger, as I recall from yesterday!

The change wasn't obvious. Yang Wei didn't have Chen Xi's memory, so it's reasonable that he didn't notice anything strange. But Chen Xi herself wouldn't have misremembered.

Chen Xi couldn't be sure whether this change happened last night or today.

Last night was pitch black. Although there was moonlight, it wasn't bright enough and not as clear as during the day.

This makes it impossible for Chen Xi to determine whether the Black Tower grew larger last night or this morning.

All that can be confirmed is that it has indeed become larger.

Asking Yang Wei was also meant to confirm the time, but unfortunately, the other party was completely unaware of it.

It is certain that the Black Tower has indeed grown larger, both in height and width.

Does this mean anything?

Chen Xi asked himself the question.

Intuitively, Chen Xi believed that perhaps only the emperor could answer this question.

He also had the emperor's WeChat account.

But now Chen Xi's "identity" is somewhat special, so special that Chen Xi is somewhat afraid to approach the emperor.

Especially after learning that the emperor had the ability to climb over the internet cable, they dared not do it again.

What if I accidentally kill myself?

boom!

Finally, with Yang Wei stepping on the gas, the two successfully drove into the black fog.

The black fog wasn't particularly eerie or terrifying, something the two had already observed on the high-speed train.

The outside world was still normal, only a little darker, like a cloudy day.

However, Chen Xi understood that the situation inside the black fog couldn't be that simple. If it were just that, it would be impossible for all the superhumans and fakes to gather in the city that hadn't yet been devoured.

There must be dangerous factors involved besides Tanu.

It's worth mentioning that Chen Xi discovered something good as soon as he entered the black mist.

His extraordinary abilities as an insomniac were activated.

It was daytime outside, but once inside the black fog, the sleepless person perceived it as night.

The specific reasons are unknown, but it is ultimately a good thing.

"Boss, why is there nobody on this street?"

Yang Wei raised a question.

Based on previous experience, even if an ordinary person is hypnotized, the vehicle will operate on its own, and then all related memories will be filled in after leaving the black fog.

But the current situation is that after driving for thirty minutes after entering the black fog, there hasn't been a single moving car, which is very abnormal.

"They were probably all swallowed up by the Black Tower."

Chen Xi thought for a moment and gave an answer that had no evidence but should be the answer.

"Is it the kind of devouring we experience when we awaken?"

Chen Xi nodded:

"That's probably why the world has been able to maintain its stable operation."

"The whole world will think it's reasonable for these people to disappear, just like when your childhood friend disappears, the whole world will think that this person never existed in the first place."

"They'll think you're the one who's crazy, but that makes sense. From their perspective, you are the one who's crazy."

After hearing this, Yang Wei remained silent for a few seconds, then his expression suddenly changed, as if he had suddenly remembered something:

"Boss, according to your logic, could the world's total population have originally been more than 7 million?"

"It's only because of the constant revisions to the Black Tower that we thought there were only about 7 million people in the world."

Chen Xi nodded:

"It's very possible that the world initially had 10 billion, 20 billion, or even 70 billion, or tens of billions of people!"

"The Black Tower continued to devour and modify itself, which is how our world came to be."

Yang Wei nodded thoughtfully:

"I feel that 30 billion people is about right. Otherwise, even if the world has such a large land area, after deducting some uninhabitable areas, how could it accommodate so many people?"

"Maybe."

Chen Xi casually replied that the answer to this question was not important.

Chen Xi is very clear about the concept of "order". For him, the most important thing now is to become strong.

He had to try to unlock enough identity cards to know if his method could actually counteract the power of the pseudo-human within him.

What's worse than the pseudo-human's power fully awakening is that the power remains unchanged, so Chen Xi absolutely must use the power of the superhuman to suppress the pseudo-human.

Therefore, unlocking this identity card is crucial.

The outcome may not be good, but this is his only option!

It took another hour.

Suddenly, with a "bang," the car came to a stop amidst a series of bumps.

The scene is a road next to a farmland, which is very much in line with Chen Xi's previous work environment.

"Boss, we have a flat tire."

"Get out of the car! It's not a tire blowout, we're being attacked!"

Chen Xi's physical abilities now far surpass Yang Wei's, and his senses are naturally similar.

Just before the tire blowout, the front half of the car clearly veered slightly to the right and forward.

This is not a reaction to a natural tire blowout.

In addition, tires are no longer the kind that burst from a single nail; they were clearly attacked by something like a gun.

After Chen Xi finished speaking, he kicked the car door off, quickly got out of the car, and used it as a shield in front of him:

"Don't get out of the driver's seat, come here and hide behind me!"

"Yes, boss!"

With a touch of emotion, Yang Wei shouted, and this time, his address of "boss" was more sincere than ever before.

......

......

Sheung Shui City.

Inside a detached villa.

A beautiful woman with waist-length hair is lying on the living room sofa watching a drama.

She was seen lounging on the sofa with her long legs crossed, wearing a classic, timeless white T-shirt and blue jeans.

Wearing a yellow baseball cap and new red nail polish, he had several sets of high-end fishing gear displayed in the corner of the living room, giving off the vibe of a high-ranking air force boss.

A movie titled "Happy Death Anniversary" is playing on a 200-inch television.

The female protagonist is killed by a masked person and then keeps returning to a fixed moment.

"what!"

The female lead on TV screamed and was killed again, then woke up in a fright once more.

Just then, as if something had fallen from a great height, there was a sudden "bang" from next to the money tree in the living room.

A door, as if it had grown out of thin air, suddenly appeared in the long-haired woman's living room.

The process took less than a second and was filled with a strange and inexplicable feeling.

The door isn't very tall, about two meters. It's mainly blue, and although it's new, it somehow has a sense of age, which is quite strange.

It's both new and vintage, like two words that shouldn't exist at the same time, appearing on the same thing.

"The Gate of Truth?"

The long-haired woman turned her head slightly, shifting her gaze from the television to the door, and slowly began to speak.

next second.

The door was suddenly pushed open from behind.

Accompanied by a series of "pat-pat" footsteps, nine people walked out from inside!

Five men and four women.

The leader was a man, around 30 years old, with a buzz cut and an earring in his left ear.

The two seemed like old acquaintances, the man with the crew cut looking down slightly at the woman from Chang'an lying on the sofa:

"I've finally found you, Your Majesty!"
