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

"I can't hear what's in your heart."

"It seems he has entered an awakened state."

The fake man narrowed his eyes slightly and casually said something while looking at Chen Xi, who seemed to be in a state of suspended animation.

He is confident that all the steps so far are largely in line with his expectations.

Now it's up to you whether you make a small profit or a big profit.

As for Zhang Wanyi lying in a pool of blood, because he could hear her thoughts, he no longer needed to be wary of her.

The opponent's life is constantly slipping away; using a magician's power would greatly hasten their death.

All she can do now is wait for Li Jibin to rescue her, but unfortunately, she has delayed his arrival.

The tire that caused Li Jibin's tire to go flat was caused by his comrade using his sniper skills to throw it.

None of these events were coincidences; they were all part of his long-term plan, and there was no way anything unexpected could have happened.

His ability to read minds allows him to clearly understand everyone's state and thoughts, thereby obtaining crucial information.

At this moment, Chen Xi was shrouded in darkness, which was gradually engulfing his body.

Once completely enveloped by darkness, his fate will be the same as Lin Fan and Wang Qingqing's—to be swallowed by the Black Tower.

He vanished without a trace, and the world never saw a trace of him again.

"The darkness is deepening; it seems this brat is about to move forward."

"10......"

"9......"

"8......"

The fake man began the countdown, and Chen Xi's consciousness entered the Black Tower Stone, which was a special space-time.

The passage of time inside is different from that outside. No matter how much time has passed inside, the maximum time that can be perceived outside is 10 seconds.

If it doesn't come out in 10 seconds, then there's absolutely no hope.

"Chen...Xi..."

Lying in a pool of blood, Zhang Wanyi uttered these two words in a very weak voice.

The first thing he saw when he came out of the bathroom was the black stone tower that Chen Xi had pushed against the wall.

I was shocked at the time, such a short time, such a long distance.

This mental power far surpasses hers at that time.

The other party later bluntly stated that this was merely a beginner's approach.

Therefore, she believed that Chen Xi could awaken the Overlord Sequence.

But then?

Faced with a pseudo-human possessing mind-reading abilities, does this newly awakened overlord sequence really have a chance?

She couldn't be sure, and could only pray that Chen Xi would be alright.

Her biggest regret now is that she didn't go to Li Jibin immediately.

The fake humans must target superhumans whose progress is equal to or greater than theirs, and they must also kill them one-on-one.

Her ability to contain objects is precisely what led to her arrogance to a certain extent.

After all, it's not certain death for fake people to come knocking, and superhumans are not their prey; the two are in a relationship of confrontation.

Stop praying.

"You extraordinary individuals or ordinary people all share a common flaw: when you feel most powerless, you always like to pray for a miracle."

"If miracles were so easy to happen, they wouldn't be miracles."

"Just wait to die."

"Whether he succeeds in awakening or fails, you will be reunited soon."

The fake man glanced at Zhang Wanyi and sneered, then focused his attention on Chen Xi without paying much attention to her.

Zhang Wanyi's face was pressed against the ground, her breathing was weak, but her eyes still had light, she had not given up!

She suddenly thought of the tennis ball she had with Chen Xi on the tennis court—a tennis ball that no one but Chen Xi could see, yet it truly existed, and which she had temporarily designated as a containment object.

Since this fake person isn't paying attention to me right now, I won't be able to read your mind.

This is probably the last thing I can do...

The moment Zhang Wanyi made up her mind, in the tatami room, the zipper of Chen Xi's backpack inexplicably opened...

"It's been 7 seconds already, that's pretty long."

"2......"

"1......"

"It failed?"

As the countdown ended in the last second, the fake man uttered a questioning monologue.

The next moment, just as he thought Chen Xi's awakening had failed.

Swish!

The darkness that had enveloped Chen Xi, the darkness that had almost completely enveloped him, was cleared away in the blink of an eye.

Chen Xi also opened her eyes at that moment.

The Black Tower Stone has actually been purified; it seems this brat's awakened sequence strength is above seven...

As the swindler murmured to himself, he raised his right arm, which was covered in sharp, protruding scales. This punch was as powerful as being struck by metal.

Although the nature of the innate talent "Reverse Scale" is defensive, it can also be used for attack.

What he needs to do now is to take Chen Xi down when he is at his weakest!

however.

Swish.

As if he had a premonition, Chen Xi calmly turned his head and easily dodged the iron fist that appeared as soon as he opened his eyes, the fatal punch aimed at his temple.

"you......"

"You anticipated my attack?"

"Is this what you meant?"

Chen Xi calmly looked at the fake person in front of him and took over what the other person was saying.

"It turns out that sequences of awakening level seven or higher can purify Black Tower Stone."

"New knowledge has been added."

After saying that, he stood up:

"I see. Your other companion's innate talent is 'Amplification,' but currently it can only amplify innate talents; it's a support ability that must be used in conjunction with other pseudo-humans."

"The identity of a sniper does suit him, but a sniper's throwing power is greatest at the furthest distance. In close combat, it's just a matter of throwing accurately."

"How is that possible?!"

"You actually heard what I was thinking?"

Chen Xi's words surprised the fake man, as the abilities corresponding to the identities were not duplicated.

There can't be a second mind-reading ability, but Chen Xi's actions after opening his eyes and the content he said undoubtedly demonstrated mind-reading ability.

Undeterred, he secretly pondered in his mind what 1 plus 1 equals.

"2".

Chen Xi suddenly spoke, uttering a number that completely shocked the fake man in front of him.

Then he raised his right hand, and the next second, it was covered with scales, just like the right arm of the fake man in front of him!

"Copy!?"

"Your extraordinary ability is replication?"

"And it can even replicate two abilities?"

Seeing that Chen Xi had the same abilities as him, the fake man panicked. If Chen Xi directly possessed his combat power, he might really be dragged down until Li Jibin arrived.

But the probability is very low, because his companion is almost here, and that companion can give him an amplification. Even if the opponent can perfectly replicate his combat power, he will still win in the end.

"Your arms have gotten heavier too. No wonder you couldn't move after your body was covered in scales. It was because you were too heavy to move."

Chen Xi looked at his right arm thoughtfully and said something. Then, the scale on his right arm disappeared.

However, the reverse scale on the right arm of the fake man in front of him also disappeared.

"Um?"

"What about my abilities...?"

The fake man, who had been staring intently at Chen Xi, suddenly showed a hint of surprise. He stared at Chen Xi for several moments.

"What did you do?! I can't read your mind!"

"It's not a copy. Your extraordinary abilities are definitely not a copy. What identity and abilities have you acquired?!"

He started to panic, seemingly underestimating the Overlord Sequence.

A card suddenly appeared in Chen Xi's hand, just like the one Zhang Wanyi had shown him back then.

Chen Xi didn't intend to show off; he was just trying it out. After all, the identity card could only be taken away when he died, and as things stood, he was already confident the moment he awakened.

"Second sequence...?!"

"Farmers!"

"That's right."

Chen Xi took over the conversation, her voice firm and resonant:

"My current identity is that of a farmer, and the extraordinary characteristic of farmers is 'equality for all'!"

"You can become an ordinary person like me, and I can also have the ability to read minds and the power to resist, just like you."

"I can switch between these two states at any time."

"You can no longer threaten me!"

The fake man first showed a hint of shock, then his face was filled with utter bewilderment:

"This is impossible! How could you awaken the second sequence? This shouldn't be possible!"

"The awakening of the top three in your superhuman overlord sequence—the first, second, and third sequences—is different from normal awakening."

"Awakening can only be successfully achieved by carrying a specific containment device."

"You should only be able to awaken the fourth sequence at most!"
