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

It's thundering?

Does this godforsaken place even have weather?

Upon hearing the sound, Chen Xi instinctively thought of it.

and......

Why does this thunder sound a little strange?

Chen Xi is neither afraid of ghosts nor thunder; even if a ghost were to appear during a thunderstorm, it wouldn't bother him.

But at this moment, he felt a tremor from the depths of his soul at the sound of the thunder.

That's an instinct called fear!

"this......"

"How is this possible!"

A voice filled with utter surprise came from the white creature.

His voice trembled so much he was almost suffocating, as if he had been thrown alone into the animal enclosure and was being fed and housed with tigers.

"No, no, no, no!"

"No, I don't know!"

Please forgive me!

"Kami-sama!"

"I didn't know! I didn't know he was my 'compatriot'!"

"Aaaaaaah!"

The white creature began to howl wildly as if it had gone mad, while its body retreated rapidly, and the tail spikes that had pierced the skin sac on Chen Xi's back popped out instantly.

The kind that can be as fast as you want.

In less than a second, the white creature increased the distance between itself and Chen Xi.

The white creature looked at Chen Xi with a complex expression, its gaze a mixture of fear and disbelief:

"Why are you...?"

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A massive white lightning bolt, powerful enough to cleave an entire mountain into mincemeat, suddenly struck.

Before Chen Xi could react, it slammed down hard on the white creature.

"it hurts......"

Chen Xi covered her ears, her face filled with pain.

I rubbed my fingers together, and they felt sticky.

"Are you injured?"

"Thank goodness, there's still sound! That lightning was terrifying; it almost ruptured my eardrums!"

Chen Xi looked ahead with lingering fear.

That was where the white creature had been standing; now only a plume of smoke remained.

obviously.

The white creature died.

The kind that leaves not even a trace.

It was instantly cleaved into nothingness by the lightning!

But that's not the scariest part.

Because he witnessed the entire event and observed the color of the lightning, Chen Xi saw the source of the lightning!

This lightning bolt did not strike from the uppermost layer of black mist and clouds.

It was cleaved down from the very top of the Black Tower!

This is an attack from the Black Tower!

Why would the Black Tower help me?

"No! Maybe it's not helping me."

"What did that white creature mean before it died?"

"Is the god he's talking about the Black Tower? Or the god who lives inside the Black Tower?"

"And that phrase, 'compatriots...'"

Tick-tock...tick-tock...

A few drops of bright red blood fell.

It's a nosebleed.

"That white lightning was too exaggerated. I was just a bystander and I was even shocked and suffered internal injuries."

"Fortunately, the internal organs were not ruptured."

Chen Xi touched the area from her chest to her stomach, and with a hint of relief, she complained. Then she raised her left hand and wiped away the bright red blood that was about to flow into her mouth.

"Um?"

At this moment, Chen Xi discovered that the infinity symbol had appeared on his left palm!

Chen Xi stared at her left palm as if it were some unfamiliar object, standing there silently for a long time.

After a brief moment of thought, the symbol on Chen Xi's left palm disappeared, and his furrowed brows suddenly relaxed, as if he had found the answer:

"It seems the prerequisite for triggering this mark is blood!"

Chen Xi said with certainty.

However, there is another prerequisite before that: the guy who made me bleed must have this infinity symbol on his body!

Whether it is revealed or not seems unimportant; that is, whether or not there is a process of invoking the gods seems irrelevant, but it is necessary to have it in the first place.

The evidence is that word "compatriot".

In other words, people, or creatures, who possess this symbol are a group.

This so-called god is their leader.

This leader must have issued a death order in the form of a curse.

Perhaps because of the small number of people involved, the order forbade them from killing each other.

The white creature attacked me, causing me to be injured and bleed. This clearly violated the agreement, and therefore I was destroyed by this so-called god.

According to Chen Xi's idea, creatures that possess this symbol should all look similar or alike, such as humans.

To creatures outside, they all look pretty much the same.

Only in this way can we prevent accidental killing.

Chen Xi's symbol comes from a historical stone slab, or rather, the Qitian Stone Crown.

But by a twist of fate, they became kin to this white creature.

This is not the fault of white creatures; it's like stepping on an ant and getting arrested and shot.

The reason given was murder.

Absurd yet logical, consistent with the Black Tower's usual style.

As for this god, Chen Xi was unsure whether it was the Black Tower itself or some being within it.

But one thing Chen Xi was certain of was that this god was, to some extent, equivalent to the Black Tower!

This wasn't just Chen Xi's wild guess; there was decisive evidence.

That means his progress didn't change at all after the white creature died!

Chen Xi did not feel even the slightest increase in experience.

You have to understand that he had previously indirectly killed two ordinary people hiding in the bushes, and he had the thrill of gaining experience points from that. It's impossible for him not to have that feeling when killing the white creature.

This task doesn't require a solo kill; you'll get assists no matter what, but you won't get experience points.

Based on the information Chen Xi currently has...

[Kill beings that do not belong to this world]

"The original inhabitants of this world are the Black Tower."

"Everyone else is an intruder."

The answer is obvious.

That white creature is a native of the Black Tower!

Only by killing the natives will you not have completed your mission and will you not receive any experience points!

The infinity symbol is probably a symbol used only by indigenous peoples!

Only in this way can we explain why the principal was willing to leave the Black Tower and wait outside—it was all for the sake of obtaining it.

The Black Tower will definitely be the final battlefield. Obtaining a native "identity" will bring huge benefits, but these benefits cannot be felt outside the Black Tower.

"hehe."

"So now I also have the identity of a native of the Black Tower?"

"I've gone further and further down this complicated path."

Chen Xi chuckled to himself, knowing that this "identity" was the only one he truly understood, and that it was entirely due to luck.

However, luck is also a form of strength.

After speaking, Chen Xi slightly raised his head, lowered his eyelids slightly, and looked at the black tower not far away with a meaningful gaze.

"Black Tower... Black Mist..."

"Why is it that the indigenous people are all pure white?"

Could it be...?

"Is there still a white pagoda in this world?"

(A heads-up: From now until the end of this book, I have no intention of stopping updating, not even for a single day! Even on the day I take leave, I will still post a chapter. There's no particular purpose to it; I just hope that those who are following me will have content to read at 00:00 every day. I don't have the ability to update rapidly, but I have the perseverance to do it steadily!)
