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

After saying those two sentences, the old mother left without looking back.

She walked slowly, but her pace was fast.

Others take one step, two steps, three steps, gradually widening the gap.

The elderly mother, on the other hand, kept a distance of one step... ten steps... a hundred steps.

Each light step leaves behind an even smaller silhouette, until it disappears.

Chen Xi watched the other person's resolute departure without saying a word.

The original inhabitants of this world are the Black Tower!

Everyone else is an intruder!

What does this sentence mean?

Are we all aliens?

I was born and raised here!

Chen Xi simply couldn't believe it.

Has the Black Tower altered our understanding, or even the world's understanding, to this extent?

If the old mother is right.

Considering that he can complete the mission whether he kills ordinary people or superhumans.

That means the person who issued this task was neither any identity nor the number one supreme talent, Hyperthymesia.

Instead...

Black Tower Ball!

Only from its perspective can it see the people it killed as beings who do not belong to this world!

Chen Xi was puzzled, but he didn't press the matter further, as his mother had already made herself very clear.

"If you can reach the second level, I'll tell you everything."

Obviously, this condition is difficult to meet.

"Boss, your mother just left like that?"

"She seems very strong, so why doesn't she just tell you the truth about this world?"

"Why would I need you to go to the second floor of the Black Tower?"

"That would take forever. You know, we haven't even been inside the Black Tower yet."

After his elderly mother left, Yang Wei breathed a sigh of relief and asked in confusion.

"Don't even mention telling us, it's already a miracle they didn't kill us on the spot."

Yan Mingliang wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead:

"That white wax's ability should be the third-ranked supreme talent, 'Candle Turns to Ashes'."

"And judging from her appearance, Chen Xi's mother seems even better than our principal!"

"Chen Xi just defeated the principal and doesn't have much mental energy left."

Chen Xi nodded and said "Yes".

If it weren't for the fact that his elderly mother didn't exude any murderous aura, Chen Xi wouldn't know how he would have faced her.

Chen Xi was neither surprised nor unsurprised that his elderly mother was a fake.

I just don't know who my father is. Judging from his behavior, he shouldn't be a fake.

The elderly mother probably knew something about this, but she didn't say anything.

Even Chen Xi couldn't find any flaws in his recollection; the movie star was nothing special!

"call......"

Chen Xi took a few deep breaths to recover her strength and adjust her mindset.

He actually had many plans in his mind.

But as the saying goes, plans can't keep up with changes, so these plans are all incomplete.

Supplement and modify as needed based on newly acquired information.

Chen Xi first walked to the principal's corpse and used the Rising Dragon technique to obtain the so-called offerings.

When this forbidden object, shaped like a jade seal, was placed on the principal's wound, the transparent jade seal began to fill with red liquid.

But the blood below didn't decrease at all, and it was unclear what it was sucking.

According to the information the author possesses, what the Rising Dragon absorbs is not blood, but the essence of life.

The process was completed in no time, and the principal's body appeared unchanged.

Chen Xi put away the Rising Dragon and quietly glanced at the principal's corpse.

The other party should know what that infinity symbol on the palm means, but unfortunately, they are dead now.

Working backward from the result, it should be that only the person who finally pieced together the historical stone tablet has it.

Since the principal wants to acquire it, it means it's something beneficial; it's just that we don't know its purpose or application scenarios.

We can only take it one step at a time.

"Let me tell you about my plans for the future."

Chen Xi spoke:

"For safety's sake, I will continue to carry Shenglong."

"I plan to reserve this opportunity for promotion from II to III for Wang Sanjin."

"Of course it's not certain, it's just a thought I have for now."

Regardless of whether his mother is right or wrong, Chen Xi is already capable of advancing to Rank III on his own; it's just a matter of time.

Yang Wei's first stage is difficult, but his second stage is easy, so he probably won't need to advance to the third stage.

As for Yan Mingliang...

Chen Xi could only say that Wang Sanjin was more valuable, and that Wang Sanjin's upgrade was destined to be difficult.

All he could do was guarantee that a spot would be reserved for Yan Mingliang.

"Alone?"

Yan Mingliang was very perceptive and immediately understood Chen Xi's intention to leave.

"Yes, I'm preparing to venture into the deeper black fog alone!"

"Yang Wei's mission is to stay in the black fog for a week, and it's not time yet."

"Boss, do you not need me anymore?"

"I can go with you, I'm not afraid."

Yang Wei's somewhat disappointed voice came through.

Being recognized and needed is, in his view, a very important thing.

This is also a major reason why he has always followed Chen Xi.

"I did not mean that."

"If you all come with me, to be honest, I'm not very good at protecting people, and it's more convenient for me to go alone."

"You and Yan Mingliang stay in Yancheng. He can practice his sniping skills and gain experience points, and you can protect him."

"Even if something unexpected happens, you can ask Wang Sanjin for help."

Chen Xi explained.

He prepared to venture deeper into the black fog to have a private encounter with Tanu and the fake man.

Tanus only exists in the black fog, and their location is easy to find; just head towards the darker areas.

If you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of the Black Tower itself!

As for fake people, it all depends on luck.

Fortunately, even without Yang Wei present, Chen Xi could distinguish the fake human by the vibration of the black tower ball.

After advancing to Stage II, the Black Tower Ball's perception range also increased, but it still couldn't see as far as Yang Wei.

Therefore, Chen Xi did not pay attention to the vibration of the ball afterward.

In addition, this historical stone tablet has also resolved Chen Xi's doubts.

The Black Tower Sphere is definitely not a containment object.

From the moment Chen Xi learned that number 1 was the Reverse Clock, he felt that the Black Tower sphere was most likely not a containment object.

After all, it's called the Black Tower, so it's hard to believe it would be ranked second.

Previously, there was no reference point, but now it seems that the Black Tower sphere is likely something of the same category as the Infinity Stone.

"Alright."

Yang Wei didn't mince words:

"Boss, with your current strength, you should be considered invincible outside of the Black Tower, right?"

"Stacking armor! I didn't mean to flatter you and get a raise! After all, even the Tier III principal fell to you."

Chen Xi nodded shamelessly: "That makes some sense!"

As long as Tier III enemies don't come up, he can just get right up to them and unleash his ultimate skill, making him invincible.

Especially since I am now stronger than when I defeated the principal.

so......

Why doesn't it count?

"Boss, are you going on a mission alone?"

Yang Wei asked casually.

Regarding identity missions, they're a bit like money in peacetime.

It's difficult to directly ask someone how much wealth they have.

Therefore, no one took the initiative to ask Chen Xi what her mission was.

I guess so.

Chen Xi wasn't lying. Rather than using the Rising Dragon skill to upgrade himself to Tier III and enter the Black Tower, he wanted to confirm the truth of some things.

Even if he were an alien, Chen Xi felt that he was no ordinary alien!

After all, he...

Too much stuff!

Now, it's not just that there's a small ball called Black Tower; even Phase II missions could be issued by Black Tower!

His "identity" now carries an additional layer of Black Tower influence.

However, Chen Xi had already overcome this inner demon.

Whether it's a hybrid or a Pinduoduo god of war.

I am who I am, a firework of a different color!
