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

In an instant, Yan Mingliang's eyes became dull.

Like someone with an intellectual disability, he stood motionless in place.

It is clear that it has already entered the awakening process.

Judging from the time and speed at which the Black Tower Stone was pushed forward, it is impossible for Yan Mingliang to awaken the Overlord Sequence.

"How long will it take to awaken?"

Yang Wei asked.

Chen Xi shook his head:

"I don't know either, but it shouldn't be too long."

Yang Wei and the author are both wild superhumans who awakened on their own. Chen Xi, on the other hand, is a hegemon and was forcibly awakened by a pseudo-human, so he is not a good reference.

And so, the three of them began to wait.

Having already waited for 20 minutes, the author was getting bored and took out a deck of cards:

"We're just killing time anyway, and there are three of us. Instead of just waiting around, why don't we play some cards?"

"One game decides life or death, and the losing side has to tell an interesting story."

"Because of my identity as an author, I prefer to hear some strange and interesting stories."

"OK."

Chen Xi did not refuse.

A strange and interesting story, right?

Chen Xi could easily recount stories like Grandpa Niu's battle against the Desolate Heavenly Emperor and the joyful Wu's adventures in the Kingdom of Light.

A pretty maid with pigtails knelt on the ground and dealt cards to the three people.

Although Chen Xi's identity is that of a farmer, he got the identity of a landlord this time while playing cards.

There are 54 cards in total. The two farmers each have 17 cards, and the landlord gets three bottom cards, for a total of 20 cards.

Chen Xi glanced at his hand and smiled slightly.

Upon seeing this, Yang Wei revealed a mysterious smile.

"A bomb!"

"Two bombs!"

"A royal flush!"

「4、5、6、7、8、9、10、J、Q、K一条龙！」

Chen Xi fired a shot that choked the two men out of their wits.

Holy crap!

"I didn't even have a chance to use my three bombs."

Yang Wei let out a wail.

"Damn it, I sat in the wrong seat!"

The author also belatedly joined in the exclamation.

"You're not being honest, author!"

"I thought it was a fair competition?"

Chen Xi smiled helplessly, but ultimately did not say anything about starting over. He was now a beneficiary and naturally would not allow himself to suffer a loss.

"Go ahead and say it, just to kill some time."

Chen Xi said casually.

"I'll go first."

Yang Wei volunteered:

"When I was very young, my grandma told me that my grandpa often had suicidal thoughts when he was young."

"His whole family thought he was mentally unstable and even sent him to a mental hospital."

"In the end, my grandfather jumped from the fifth floor and miraculously survived."

"It was after that incident that my grandfather stopped talking about suicide."

"In the end, my grandfather died in an accident; he was hit by a train, and I was raised by my grandmother."

Yang Wei's story ends here.

"Is it just so-so?"

The author makes a comment:

"I've heard too many stories of people surviving jumps; the most outrageous one I've heard of was one where the body bounced back!"

"To be honest, I don't even believe it myself!"

"Your turn."

Chen Xi said softly that he was just killing time and had no comment.

"OK."

"Mine is different; this is a true story, without any embellishment!"

After finishing his statement, the author went straight to the point:

"There was a fire at a villa in Sheung Shui before."

"The character I created, who is also my human agent, happened to be near that villa that day."

"I saw a woman nearby with some black scorch marks on her body."

"So you caught the arsonist?"

"Don't interrupt!"

After reprimanding Yang Wei, the author continued:

"Of course not, I don't have that much of a sense of justice!"

"My character and I can share a field of vision. When my human form is out and about, I'm lying in bed, which is like seeing the world from my bed."

"But something was strange that day; I just couldn't remember that woman's face!"

"My memory is neither good nor bad, just normal, but that day, the moment that woman turned around, I forgot what she looked like."

"Next came the image, and in the end all I remembered was that it was a woman."

"Even the scorch marks on her body were something I only vaguely remembered because of the fire."

"Isn't that weird?"

"And this is something I personally experienced 100%, not even a fraction of it is fabricated!"

The author spoke with great certainty, and Chen Xi, the listener, remained outwardly calm, but inwardly felt as if a meteorite had struck the sea, causing a storm of emotions.

The Emperor!

I can't remember faces; features are slowly forgotten.

This is a characteristic unique to the emperor!

What the author said is definitely true.

In other words, the emperor was not killed.

In addition, Zhang Wanyi also said that the emperor could not be killed.

But if the emperor were still alive, why would she disband the group?

"And then?"

"Did you follow that woman?"

Chen Xi asked the last glimmer of hope in his heart.

"You overestimate me! I thought I'd seen Sadako in real life, and I ran away in fright!"

Chen Xi nodded, with an expression that said, "I knew it."

He didn't ask anything more, so the author was probably unaware of the matter.

This seems to confirm Zhang Wanyi's previous statement that the emperor was indeed not dead.

As for why the group was disbanded, this question is not yet important enough for Chen Xi to take the initiative to send a message to the other party.

After all, the hypocrisy about me is getting stronger and stronger...

Just then.

Yan Mingliang, who was in a mentally challenged state, suddenly moved, and his eyes seemed to be filled with wisdom, becoming bright and intelligent.

"Congratulations, what identity have you awakened?"

Chen Xi said directly.

Having survived being swallowed by the Black Tower and awakened, the outcome can only be considered a success.

Yan Mingliang nodded, a hint of joy flashing across his face:

"Serial Number 300 - Sniper!"

"Sniper..."

Chen Xi read the name aloud with some emotion.

Leaving aside the Black Tower ball.

The first fake person he and Zhang Wanyi killed together was the one who had stolen the sniper's identity!

Unexpectedly, Yan Mingliang's awakened identity today is actually the sniper he sent back to the Awakening Pool.

It must be said, this is a cause and effect!

The author and Yang Wei also offered their congratulations.

Just when the atmosphere was very pleasant.

Pat pat...

Pat pat...

Suddenly, hurried footsteps came from outside the door; the sound was that of high heels.

The newcomer was none other than the girl in the bodycon skirt described by the author.

She rushed in, her innocent-looking eyes meeting the author's.

"Oh no, Master!"
