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

None of Chen Xi and the other two possess sensory abilities; they rely solely on their strong physical abilities to observe, listen, inquire, and palpate the people, things, and events around them, much like traditional Chinese medicine practitioners do.

The moment Chen Xi grasped the doorknob, it was like a doctor taking your pulse; in an instant, you sensed someone inside.

Because he heard an extremely faint hissing sound.

It's like human breathing.

Did the author really leave a backup plan?

But if he just hides like this, won't the curly-haired fake man be able to find him?

Theoretically unlikely.

Or was it hidden afterward?

Countless guesses flashed through Chen Xi's mind, but no matter how many guesses there were, he needed to see it for himself to make a final judgment.

With a "click," Chen Xi turned the doorknob.

The door wasn't locked. Chen Xi gently turned it, making a clockwise rotation, and then gently pushed it open.

The room was tiny, with just a bed and a little space to walk around. Everything inside was on full display, leaving absolutely no room to hide.

Unfortunately, the scene Chen Xi wanted was not there.

There are indeed people in it, but neither the author nor Yan Mingliang.

Instead, she was a stranger with pigtails, dressed like a member of a girl group.

The girl is beautiful and has an excellent overall image and temperament, perfectly embodying the description of being fair-skinned, young, and slim.

She sat quietly on the edge of the bed, showing no sign of panic despite the unexpected intrusion of Chen Xi and the other two.

"This author is a beast!"

"They've imprisoned such an adorable little girl!"

"I should be the one to do such a vicious thing!"

"I, Yang Wei, am not afraid of the world's scorn!"

Chen Xi was already used to Yang Wei's indignation. After carefully observing his surroundings, he raised his hand to interrupt:

"Don't get excited. This girl isn't a real person; she's a character created by the author."

"To create a composition with ink?"

When Wang Sanjin heard that this girl was a "living person" who had been written down, he couldn't help but show a curious look.

He has seen far too few abilities, whether extraordinary traits or innate talents.

The reason I haven't turned back and followed them yet is because I want to learn more about this area.

The three of them inevitably chatted on their way here, and since the author's home was their destination, the author's extraordinary characteristics naturally became a topic of conversation for them.

"But boss, the author is dead, isn't he?"

"If this girl was created by the author, the timeline wouldn't make sense."

"Such a long time span, even if the author was hiding their shortcomings, it's impossible to maintain that level of detail, right?"

Chen Xi showed no surprise upon hearing this and pointed to the girl's right hand.

Yang Wei and his companion looked in that direction:

"It's white and smooth, and it doesn't have any pores."

"As expected of the boss, he has a sharp eye!"

"ring?"

Unlike Yang Wei, Wang Sanjin watched very attentively, his demeanor somewhat like that of a student eagerly awaiting knowledge.

Although he has reached Stage II, he has very little experience. He only learned about the upgrade by chance because he met Chen Xi.

He read the materials in the group, but he was like a theorist, lacking practical experience.

"Yes, a ring."

"But that's no ordinary ring; it's containment item number 33—a containment ring!"

"A containment object that can store Nen energy."

"This girl is able to maintain her existence precisely because she is wearing a ring, which must have been created by the author who stored his mental energy inside it through a connection."

"Given that she was able to stay, the author is indeed dead!"

"Otherwise, that curly-haired fake man would definitely not let this place go."

Although Chen Xi couldn't find the author and Yan Mingliang, the answer was already clear when she saw the girl group member.

This was indeed a backup plan left by the author.

These might be his last words!

It could be the final trap!

"She hasn't been activated or triggered yet."

Chen Xi said coldly.

After the three of them entered, the girl group member remained seated on the bed, her expression unchanged.

Just like the seven fairies who were immobilized by the monkey.

I don't know how the author describes her, but the mental energy stored in her ring is limited.

This means that girl group members will eventually disappear.

And this day came very quickly.

This makes it imperative to activate the girl group members.

"Let's come in and take a look. Maybe these things don't look like anything special, but we might find something different when we touch them."

"But also remember that there may be traps here, so be careful and be mentally prepared."

Yang Wei and Chen Xi both hummed in agreement. Their earlier playful banter stemmed from the assumption that there was no danger here, but now that Chen Xi had said this, the situation was different.

Chen Xi said this simply to make Yang Wei and his companion more serious and vigilant.

Just like learning, it requires cultivating a good habit.

Especially now that the map has shrunk down to just two cities, you have to be extra careful.

Although Yang Wei can see through fake people, he cannot let himself remain careless because of that.

Based on probability, there is at most a 50% chance that there is a trap in this room, and since the author is of Rank I, even if he left behind a killing move, it would be useless against Chen Xi and his three Rank II opponents.

Not to mention Wang Sanjin's jumping ability, there's actually no problem with safety.

The room was small, and the space was almost completely filled after the three of them entered.

It felt a bit crowded to walk around.

However, there are advantages; a smaller space means less workload.

In just ten minutes.

Chen Xi and the other two touched every place except for the girl group members, including the floor.

The result of getting nothing was neither unexpected nor surprising.

Chen Xi frowned slightly.

Neither the main gate nor the door to this room was locked, which means anyone could come in.

Let's assume someone came during this period.

The author owns more than one villa in this area. Not to mention the distance between the villas and other villas, the villa owners generally have a strong sense of boundaries and do not wander around.

In particular, as the author mentioned before, he almost never goes out.

Therefore, the probability of an ordinary person getting in is very low.

Those who are extraordinary or fake will take the ring if they enter.

Moreover, the probability of them getting in is even lower than that of ordinary people; only the curly-haired pseudo-human knows about the author's family.

Chen Xi and Yang Wei's previous method of taking the shortest route by straight line had alarmed some pseudo-people.

But in hindsight, it was a good thing; they lurked on Tianfu Street, disguised as onlookers.

Some may be genuinely just watching the show, while others may have ulterior motives.

Unfortunately, they all died in the self-destruction of the curly-haired imposter.

This is why Chen Xi chose to take a taxi; since he wasn't in a hurry, there was no need to continue attracting the attention of the other fake people.

All of the above information indicates that this room is still a "virgin," and Chen Xi and the other two are its first time.

Then, Chen Xi turned her attention to the only girl in the girl group. She touched the shaking ring and even touched the ring itself, but there was no response.

"Like a robot that's not plugged in, completely unresponsive."

Chen Xi rarely makes a complaint.

Yang Wei's eyes lit up upon hearing this:

"Boss, I understand!"

"What do you know?"

"I know where the robot's switch is!"

"Where?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Wei chuckled, then made a horizontal "7" shape with his fingers, using his chin as a sofa:

"Knowing the author's personality as I do..."

With a "whoosh," Yang Wei extended his right middle finger and quickly slid it down.

Like a padlock, it was precisely positioned on the girl group member's miniskirt:

"The switch must be inside!"
