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

Leping Square is also known as Elbow Strike Square.

According to locals, there is a bloody tragedy behind this name.

It is said that there was once a girl who was skilled in martial arts who became angry and embarrassed after being rejected when she confessed her love in this square.

The boy who was being confessed to by her elbow was killed by it!

Leping Square thus gained fame and became a popular spot for couples to express their love.

At that moment, two young men sat on a bench, looking slightly out of place in this square full of couples.

It wasn't because they were two men, but because they had neither round faces nor beards.

These two people are naturally Chen Xi and Yang Wei.

They came here after leaving the author's house, without taking a break in between.

Firstly, I'm not tired; secondly, I genuinely don't have the time.

At night, Chen Xi had to race against time.

As soon as it gets light, he becomes a weakling!

Chen Xi and his companion continued using the same method they had used in Beijing, and began searching for fresh wild pseudo-humans.

This is a clumsy method.

The obvious drawback is that it's time-consuming.

The advantage is that it can find newly awakened pseudo-humans with 100% accuracy.

Of course, this requires a memory of Chen Xi's caliber.

Chen Xi is now at Stage II. Even without his own extraordinary characteristics, he is still invincible against Stage I pseudo-humans.

Even when facing the King's Fist, which is said to be the strongest in actual combat at Stage I, he can still easily defeat his opponent.

Therefore, all the two of them need is time.

Given enough time, the desired target will definitely be found.

Based on Yang Wei's current experience level, he no longer needs the red-colored Black Tower Ball.

As long as you subdue your opponent, he can gain 10% experience points after a few hits.

Chen Xi didn't know what the lawyer's upgraded identity would be, but given the lawyer's extraordinary characteristics, he was already an indispensable and important existence.

The plan was well-thought-out, but ultimately it was just a bit unlucky.

They waited until the next morning but no suitable target appeared.

There are quite a lot of fakes, though.

In just one night, three fake people appeared in this square!

Although the peak number of fake people is 5886, according to a more realistic assumption, the actual number of fake people should be around 2400.

These approximately 2400 fake characters will only appear in these four locations at present.

Shangjing City, Shangshui City, Black Mist, and Black Tower.

The order above was arranged by Chen Xi from highest to lowest quantity.

Lok Ping Square is just one of many squares in Sheung Shui City. Although it is somewhat famous, it is already quite a lot to see three different fake people in one night.

Chen Xi's current progress is at 20% of the second stage, and he also has a 10% boost from the Emperor Demon Identity Card.

Although he doesn't have any extraordinary abilities, Chen Xi isn't exactly terrible, given the mechanism that triples his physical abilities at night.

At least it can unleash a sonic punch.

But fists are fists, and the body is the body.

Throwing a sonic punch and moving at sonic speeds away from the body are vastly different things.

beep~

Chen Xi's phone rang.

Now, with the Dreamer's nuclear battery power bank, the two no longer have to worry about their phone's battery level.

Chen Xi pressed the answer button:

"Have you arrived?"

Yan Mingliang's voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Um."

The "hmm" was low and somber, and you could tell something bad had happened.

As Chen Xi had predicted, Yan Mingliang immediately delivered some bad news:

"However, something unexpected happened."

"Uncle didn't recover when he arrived in Sheung Shui City as you said. He was still in the same state as when he was in Yancheng, his body was in a kind of hypnotic state."

A moment of silence:

"I see."

"Wait for me, my friend and I are coming over now."

With things having come to this point, Chen Xi didn't waste any more words.

......

......

The exit of the high-speed rail station.

When the two sides met, the father was still the same as before.

Yan Mingliang, on the other hand, looked much more haggard.

The image of the other person in Chen Xi's memory was completely different from the last time they met.

At this time, Yan Mingliang's hair was very oily and his beard had grown quite a bit, giving him a sloppy appearance.

A man's beard will make him look much older if he doesn't groom it properly.

With his messy, greasy hair, Yan Mingliang looked nothing like a high school student; people would believe he was 30.

It's clear that he's been having a tough time lately, whether it's training his mental power or helping me out yesterday.

"Thank you."

Chen Xi said sincerely.

He didn't say things like "You've worked hard," because that would make him seem superior.

"We're classmates, and you helped me too."

Yan Mingliang answered readily.

"To be honest, this situation is indeed somewhat beyond my expectations."

"From this perspective, a 'normal person' returning to a normal city doesn't necessarily make them normal."

In other words, "normal cities" lack the ability to cure "abnormal people."

"It can only restore normal people to normal, nothing more."

Yan Mingliang nodded and added:

"If I can control my uncle, he will follow me. But if I'm not by his side, he will try to go back the way he came."

"As for food, he doesn't seem to be hungry."

"So this is what you plan to do next?"

"Shall we let Uncle go back?"

After Chen Xi finished speaking, a resolute glint flashed in his eyes.

......

......

The author's home.

"So, you're planning to lock your father up here?"

Chen Xi nodded.

"Yes, if he's capable of acting on his own, only you can restrain him."

"You have so many rooms, locking one is more than enough."

This wasn't a difficult task for the author, and given their future collaboration plans, he naturally agreed.

As Chen Xi had predicted, things unfolded exactly as he had envisioned.

He doesn't know how to solve his father's current condition, so he can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.

According to Chen Xi's idea, this might allow them to escape being swallowed by the Black Tower.

Of course, this is only a possibility, and it could even backfire, leading to premature consumption.

Even if time were to rewind, Chen Xi would still have Yan Mingliang bring his father over.

He would rather make a mistake than do nothing.

......

After dealing with their father's affairs, the four of them went to a room.

Chen Xi took out the Black Tower Stone that had been evolved by 55% and placed it on the table.

It was originally 50%, but it was purified by another 5% last night. This stuff can purify the body just by touching it, so it won't attract attention.

"Now use your telekinesis to propel it towards the wall."

The black tower stone is about 20 cm away from the wall, which is the same distance that Zhang Wanyi tested on Chen Xi.

Now he's applying the same approach to Yan Mingliang.

Chen Xi wanted to see just how far Yan Mingliang had honed his telekinetic abilities.

The result was completely unexpected. Although the process was much slower than his own, Yan Mingliang maintained a rate of one centimeter per minute.

It took a total of 20 minutes of hard work to push the black tower stone against the wall.

Chen Xi narrowed his eyes slightly. He had considered this possibility, but he was still somewhat surprised when he actually saw it.

Yan Mingliang, that guy, has already met the awakening requirements so quickly!

I wonder what identity he will awaken later?
