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

Finished!

This was the only thought in Chen Xi's heart at that moment.

Almost as soon as he finished reading the message, he suddenly pushed his arm forward, intending to close the door before the other person could.

pity.

Li Jibin's hand had already reached in from outside the door.

Upon seeing this, Chen Xi felt a surge of ruthlessness; the force with which the door slammed shut was enough to crush the bones in his hand.

He knew very well that what he needed now was courage; retreating would be a mistake, and he had to attack!

However......

Clang!

It was clearly metal hitting flesh, yet it produced the sound only heard when metal collides with metal.

"What's over?"

"Is it your life?"

"I guessed right... didn't I?"

squeak~

As Li Jibin finished speaking, the door was slowly pushed open. It was a force that Chen Xi could not resist, as if it were stopping a car from moving forward, something that human power could not do.

Li Jibin slowly pushed open the front door, his expression unchanged, just like when he was teaching, and calmly gazed at Chen Xi.

Then, with a "snap," he slammed the door shut.

Pfft!

Pfft!

Facing this familiar stranger, Chen Xi's heart raced. In that instant, he suddenly understood what it felt like to have your heart pounding in your throat.

At this moment, the hand that Li Jibin had reached into the room, both the palm and the back of the hand, grew something resembling fish scales. These scales shimmered with a metallic luster under the light.

This is clearly not something a human could do, and Li Jibin's identity is that of a mage. Although we don't know what his specific abilities are, it certainly isn't this.

The other party was undoubtedly a fake posing as Li Jibin, with the aim of stealing Zhang Wanyi's identity.

Chen Xi's entire body was on edge; this was a reaction to tension and fear.

No matter how much he mentally prepared himself, at this moment he was just an ordinary person who was good at studying. How could he possibly fight against a creature that even superhumans could only manage a 40/60 split?

There's one thing Chen Xi doesn't understand: a fake person can't possess the memories of the person they're impersonating.

The answer to the last question on the math test this morning was indeed 2, and everyone in the class knew that.

If the imposter was in the same class or another class at the time, they might have known, but the other person gave a different answer, which was the answer they really wanted to hear.

"I know where Lin Fan is."

The only people who should know this answer are Zhang Wanyi and Li Jibin.

It's impossible for a fake person to know.

Did I miss something?

No, not possible!

My hyperthymesia means I won't miss any memories, unless they didn't happen around me!

Chen Xi's brain did not shut down due to fear and tension; it continued to operate frantically.

There must be something I've overlooked... there must be something...

and many more!

He seemed to say something strange when he pushed the door open just now.

What's over?

What's over?

What's over?

These four words kept flashing through Chen Xi's mind.

Why did the opponent suddenly increase their strength?

Or perhaps, this imposter struck at the very moment I saw through him?

This point in time...

information......

time......

Answer......

Chen Xi's pupils contracted sharply. Although he couldn't be completely sure, this was the only answer that could explain everything!

He suddenly shouted without warning:

"A fake!"

"Mind reading!"

These five words represent Chen Xi's instinctive judgment in conveying the most dense information with the fewest words.

He knew perfectly well that he had no chance of winning, and that telling Zhang Wanyi about the enemy was his only chance of survival.

"You've figured out my ability so quickly, you're really quite impressive."

"An awakened being not only figured out my abilities in such a short time, but also took countermeasures within its capabilities."

"Both their courage and their choices deserve praise."

"Even if you awaken, your newly awakened identity is very weak. Unless you are a hegemon, there is no need for us to take it."

As the fake man finished speaking, he seemed to have heard something and paused for a moment.

"What if I could awaken the Overlord Sequence?"

"A very interesting hypothesis."

"Since that's the case, I'll grant your wish."

After the fake man finished speaking, he threw a piece of black stone at Chen Xi.

The speed wasn't fast, but Chen Xi was certain he couldn't dodge it. He wasn't exactly a sports prodigy, and now he was intimidated by the opponent's aura. Once he touched it, he would be forced into awakening mode.

"This isn't the kind of Black Tower Stone you use for awakening; it's an unpurified Black Tower Stone. Only if your mental power is strong enough to awaken the Overlord Sequence can you survive."

"Otherwise, they will be corrupted and annihilated by the Black Tower."

"Whether you can truly awaken the Overlord Sequence or not, the outcome will have no effect on me."

"In other words, I'd much rather you awaken the Overlord Sequence; it would be a huge boost for me!"

These words from the fake man made Chen Xi's heart sink.

He himself wasn't even sure he could awaken the Overlord Sequence, let alone the fact that even if he did, it would be taken away by the fake man in front of him.

Chen Xi felt helpless, knowing that he was doomed no matter what.

It's like you're starving and you encounter chocolate-flavored poop, and poop-flavored chocolate.

And also...

Why isn't Zhang Wanyi coming out yet?

She should have heard my voice just now, right?

In addition, this fake person is also somewhat strange.

Why does he seem so slow and leisurely?

They don't seem to be in a hurry.

The real homeroom teacher is on his way. Shouldn't he hurry up and deal with Zhang Wanyi?

Since they can read minds, they couldn't possibly be unaware of these things, right?

Just as Chen Xi was thinking about these things, the black tower stone that was about to touch him suddenly stopped in mid-air.

This is clearly not the behavior of a fake person, so the answer is obvious.

magician!

Zhang Wanyi has made her move!

next moment.

boom!

The surrounding chairs, water glasses, soup spoons, chopsticks, knives, forks, kitchen knives, and the black tower stone from before all seemed to be attracted by a magnetic force and flew towards the fake man.

Countless objects collided, producing various sounds.

Zhang Wanyi walked out of the room wrapped in a bathrobe, wearing frameless glasses, with some foam still in her hair.

Meanwhile, the fake manipulator was covered in the same metallic fish scales as before, which blocked Zhang Wanyi's attack of manipulating objects.

"He has mind-reading abilities and the ability to defend himself completely."

Chen Xi immediately spoke to Zhang Wanyi.

He wasn't sure if the other person, who was in the bathroom, had fully heard what he had shouted earlier.

Zhang Wanyi looked straight ahead and nodded, which was her reply:

"Is the black tower stone inside your masterpiece?"

Chen Xi naturally understood what the other party wanted to express, and gave a soft "hmm" without hiding anything.

"limit?"

"getting Started."

Chen Xi looked straight ahead and replied.
