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

not good!

Standing to the side, Chen Xi inwardly cried out.

He's not dead?

How is that possible?

I just confirmed that the other person had stopped breathing and had no heartbeat.

Since it looks like a human, the pseudo-human will naturally inherit human physiological characteristics; without a heartbeat and breathing, it will naturally die.

There is absolutely no possibility of feigning death; it can only be real death because the heart has exploded.

Could it be...?

The identity of a dead person?!

This was the only reason Chen Xi could think of.

With a "snap," the curly-haired fake man's left hand landed on Yang Wei's right forearm and gripped it tightly.

Unlike before, the curly-haired fake man's left palm is now black!

The hand, black as soy sauce, gives off a creepy feeling just by looking at it.

Yang Wei's anus tightened instantly, and he retreated sharply, instinctively creating distance.

The imagined obstacles did not appear, not even the slightest one.

Yang Wei instantly launched himself backward.

But the outcome was not so good. The forearm that had just been seized by the black hand remained forever in the hands of the curly-haired fake man!

In other words, when Yang Wei tried to break free by retreating, his right forearm broke off like a pieced-together toy.

The place where the black hand grips is like the seam where the two toys are joined together.

"I didn't feel any pain at all!?"

"My forearm is just broken like that?"

Yang Wei stared at his right hand, which had lost its forearm, feeling both disbelief and fear.

Moreover, there was not a drop of blood at the site of the right arm's fracture; there was only a black cross-section.

At this moment, the blackness was spreading upwards, and the places it touched were like paper money thrown into a fire, turning to ashes and disappearing into thin air!

"Hold on!"

Chen Xi suddenly appeared beside Yang Wei and grabbed Yang Wei's contaminated upper arm with both hands.

Like wringing out a towel, they twisted Yang Wei's right arm off!

"Aaaaaah!"

Yang Wei let out a series of painful screams, but did not stop him, because he understood what Chen Xi meant.

The blood burst open with a "bang," like popping beads, and splashed onto their faces.

That's good news; at least things are back to normal.

If this had happened before, before he had awakened, Yang Wei would have been in so much pain from Chen Xi's method of rescue that he would have fainted.

But now their physical fitness is much stronger.

Although there was no deliberate training, my willpower and endurance have increased significantly without me even realizing it.

He just cried out in pain once, and then he got through it.

The two quickly separated, and Chen Xi used Yang Wei's clothes to bandage the wound and stop the bleeding.

The severed, blackened arm was naturally thrown away by Chen Xi, gradually withering and turning to ashes on the ground.

Clearly, without Chen Xi's intervention, Yang Wei would have turned to ashes like the severed arm on the ground in no time.

"The Stage II extraordinary abilities of the dead?"

Chen Xi stared at the curly-haired imposter and said in a deep voice.

"That's right."

"The upgraded identity of the dead is called 'The Vengeful Spirit,' and their extraordinary ability, 'The Soul-Taking Hand,' is the bane of all melee combat."

"Whether it is someone who touches my hand or someone whose hand touches mine, they will gradually turn to ashes."

"The Death Hand's attack has a spreading effect; your rescue method was correct."

Chen Xi nodded thoughtfully:

"What an overbearing extraordinary characteristic."

After saying that, he narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had thought of something:

"I see."

"You were clear about the identity of the dead from the very beginning, as well as the extraordinary characteristics of the upgraded identity."

"Combined with your Sunfire ranged attack capabilities, you can truly be both offensive and defensive."

"Your taking over the identity of a dead person was not a coincidence, but premeditated!"

"If I'm not mistaken..."

"The extraordinary characteristic of the Dead Stage I should be 'resurrection,' right?"

"However, one cannot gain experience points through this resurrection."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The curly-haired fake man suddenly started laughing.

His expression was somewhat strange; although he was smiling, he lacked both the initial composure and the joy that followed the reversal.

"You guessed pretty accurately."

"You really do have something, whether it's ability or intelligence."

"That's what the curly-haired imposter praised!"

"But now that everything is over, I'll let you die knowing the truth, and I can finally get it off my chest."

"When a dead person awakens, they will receive an external object, a necklace, from which hangs a coin-shaped object."

"It's called 'Brother Chun Coin'."

"It has a one-time substitution effect."

Upon hearing the words "Brother Chun's Coin," Chen Xi and Yang Wei were both taken aback.

They exchanged a glance, and simultaneously thought of the same thing.

Grandpa Yang Wei!

When I was playing cards with the author before, I asked the loser to tell a bizarre story.

Yang Wei was telling the story of his grandfather's constant suicidal thoughts.

In this story, his grandfather wore a necklace like this!

The necklace disappeared after the grandfather jumped off the building, and the grandfather also stopped wanting to commit suicide. The family told Yang Wei that this was a way to avoid disaster by spending money.

It now appears that Yang Wei's grandfather had already realized his identity as a dead man back then!

The curly-haired fake man noticed their expressions but ignored them, continuing to speak to himself:

"This thing cannot be removed, whether by choice or by force, and no amount of ability can remove it; it will only follow the dead."

"I naturally identified the holder of the dead person's identity because of the 'Brother Chun' coins on this necklace."

"As for your earlier question about how to use the Rising Dragon Forbidden Artifact..."

As the curly-haired imposter spoke, a hint of anger appeared on his face:

"Those who are not adapted will be annihilated if they forcibly use the forbidden item, Rising Dragon."

"But the supernatural ability of the dead, 'Brother Chun Coin,' perfectly circumvents this!"

"In other words, a dead person can use the extraordinary ability of 'Brother Chun Coin' to forcibly use 'Ascending Dragon' once, thereby advancing themselves to Stage II!"

"And I have taken over the identity of the dead, so I am a new dead person, and I still have the ability to be resurrected once."

"As for Chun Ge Coins, they will disappear and merge into your body after you reach Stage II."

"But now, because of you all, I've run out of resurrection chances!"

"Not only have you lost a chance to revive, but you also won't be able to use this extraordinary ability to advance to Stage III using the Rising Dragon technique in the future, so you deserve to die!"

Yang Wei, who was cosplaying as Yang Guo, let out a disdainful "humph" upon seeing this.

"What unrealistic dreams are you having?"

"Not yet?"

"This day next year will be the anniversary of your death!"

"If we can kill you once, we can kill you twice!"

"Even if I don't have hands, it won't stop me from sending a lawyer's letter!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The curly-haired imposter laughed again:

"He simply raised his middle finger, a gesture often used to mock someone."

"There's one last thing I forgot to tell you."

"The dead who are resurrected by the resurrection coin are immune for life to any extraordinary power they came into contact with within 24 hours before their death."

"So, whether it's your friend's seal or your lawyer's letter, it's now affecting me..."

"All of them are ineffective!"
