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

The author was slightly taken aback by Chen Xi's directness, expecting him to try and intimidate him first, but then laughed heartily:

"readily."

"Then I'll just say it directly."

"Here's what happened."

"It was a dark and windy night, when neither sun nor moon shone!"

"A baby boy was born in this environment."

"He was born different from other babies; he didn't cry after he was born."

"Upon seeing this, the doctor immediately hung him up and administered injections for a full five minutes, saying, 'If you can cry, you live; if you can't cry, you die.' In those desperate 300 seconds..."

"The baby boy lived up to expectations and cried out."

"His parents were very happy and named him 'Chen Changsheng' (meaning 'Chen longevity')."

"then......"

Chen Xi felt something was wrong as she listened, and quickly raised her hand to interrupt:

"Excuse me, who is Chen Changsheng?"

"It is I."

The author explained without batting an eye.

"So, what does this have to do with Rising Dragon?"

"It doesn't matter at all; I'm just giving a more detailed self-introduction."

"That's right, I'm more wary of strangers, but I'm very open with my friends."

Chen Xi: "..."

Yang Wei: "..."

The next morning, it was a gloomy morning where the sun couldn't be seen yet!

"Cough cough..."

"Forget about self-introduction, please get straight to the point. I'm very busy!"

Chen Xi abruptly interrupted, not because he was particularly short of time, but because his intuition told him that what the author was about to say was 100% nonsense.

"Alright, since that's the case, I'll say something you want to hear."

"That is, it's about the Rising Dragon."

"To be honest, my understanding of the extraordinary world is definitely not as good as yours. The most information I ever received was from you on the high-speed train."

"I didn't join you, but you still told me so much important information, and for that, I need to say thank you."

After finishing his sentence, the author drank the tea in his hand in one gulp.

"Thank you so much, you even installed GPS tracking for us?"

Yang Wei was not polite at all.

"Cough...cough..."

The author choked on the tea he hadn't yet swallowed:

"One thing at a time!"

"Okay, stop interrupting me. I'm about to get to the point!"

Seeing that Chen Xi and the other person obediently shut up, the author sorted out his thoughts and slowly said:

"The whole thing started with an identity called 'Dead Man,' which, if I remember correctly, is my next sequence number, number 404, the second to last sequence."

Upon hearing this, a barely perceptible glint flashed in the eyes of both Chen Xi and the other person.

The author is a self-taught superhuman, and Chen Xi did not tell him how many sequences there were in total.

From the author's perspective, there is no concept that the 404 sequence is the last sequence.

But now serial number 405 has appeared!

Although Chen Xi had impersonated this serial number before, only Old Wang next door knew about it.

The other person is already dead and has met the criteria for reincarnation, so it definitely wasn't a mistake on my part.

"The dead obtained the forbidden item, the Rising Dragon, and thus their status was naturally upgraded."

"Unfortunately, he was unlucky. He was discovered by a spoof who had been plotting for a long time, and unsurprisingly, he was killed. The other party successfully seized his identity."

"But as you told me back then, the fake human cannot use containment objects, so that fake human had no way to get this forbidden object and could only take it away."

"Having witnessed the whole thing, I naturally knew the purpose of that forbidden item."

"To be honest, I'm really tempted, but I can't beat him."

"That's when I thought of you all."

The author looked at Chen Xi at this point:

"Especially you, I can't be sure how strong that fake person is, but aren't you capable of sealing your opponents?"

"He's all alone, but I believe that if we can work together, we can definitely succeed."

"Just like when we drove off that fake little dragon last time, although there was an element of luck involved, we are all stronger now."

"In terms of chances of winning, it's greater."

"At least that's how I feel."

Chen Xi naturally did not refuse and nodded:

"That's all easy to discuss, but I have a few questions I need to confirm with you first."

"OK, ask away. I'll answer anything you know."

The author was also very straightforward.

"First, since that fake person was able to kill the upgraded dead person, according to the standard for fake people to seize identities, it means that this fake person is also just entering the second rank."

How did you witness the entire event?

"Your extraordinary ability is 'Ink Formation,' a skill that requires activation time to take effect."

"But you are just a powerful ordinary person. In theory, you wouldn't have time to use your abilities when you're alone."

"That's how it is, Chen Xi."

The author immediately chimed in:

"I'm a rather...cautious person!"

"After I discovered the specific uses of my extraordinary abilities, I rarely went out."

"I ran into you guys on the high-speed train that day because I was having writer's block! I was feeling really stifled, so I just came out for a walk."

"It's a way of gathering materials and also a way of broadening one's inspiration."

"I never expected to be targeted by a fake."

"At that time, I didn't know the world was so dangerous. I guessed that there were people like me in the world, but I liked being alone and was afraid of trouble."

"Of course, I'm even more afraid of dying!"

"So since I returned to Sheung Shui that day, I haven't left the house again until today when I came to welcome you."

"All my actions are based on the actions of a character described in the book."

"And just as you said, 'I' was discovered and killed."

"But I obtained the intelligence without being exposed."

"Because my description of the character I wrote was 'retaining normal human physical characteristics for ten minutes after death,' and ten minutes is my limit."

"Fortunately, I could share a line of sight with the character I created, so I could confirm that the fake person left immediately after killing 'me.' The character's corpse remained in place for ten minutes before disappearing as the power dissipated, so I confirmed that I hadn't been exposed."

Chen Xi frowned slightly; this was the first fake person he had heard of who would attack ordinary people.

However, it's not that strange. It wasn't the kind of random killing that happened in the street. This incident clearly occurred in a secluded corner, and it also had a somewhat forced feel to it.

"Okay, I understand."

Chen Xi nodded, and continued speaking expressionlessly:

"The second question."

"I'd like to know what makes you so certain that the 404 sequence number corresponding to the deceased's identity is the second to last sequence number?"
