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

Chen Xi was very familiar with this piercing hole; it was the skill that had pierced Li Yaozu's forehead back then.

The abilities of the second stage of the cheat system are something I've been longing for!

Zhou Xiaogu!

These three words, along with the woman's aloof appearance, immediately popped into Chen Xi's mind.

This woman's eyes were unusually cold-blooded during the battle. To be honest, even if she had awakened her identity, her personality wouldn't have changed much.

But Zhou Xiaogu is different; she seems unchanging, she's always been this way.

Chen Xi finds it hard to imagine that nine years of compulsory education could produce such talent.

This woman had come all this way just to kill me, all for the sake of her mission.

The painter also contributed to this, which Chen Xi later learned when chatting with the painter.

At the time, the other party had just casually asked for her location on WeChat, and Chen Xi didn't think much of it and just replied.

I thought the other person meant that if we lived nearby, we should get together.

Unexpectedly, this attracted Zhou Xiaogu, the god of death.

However, Chen Xi remained rational. He didn't blame the painter, nor did he discuss the matter with him.

On the one hand, Zhou Xiaogu has no grudge against the painter; on the other hand, if necessary later, the painter can be used to reverse-position Zhou Xiaogu.

That's why the painter previously thought of Zhou Xiaogu and Chen Xi when he was tasked with rebuilding the world, but both of them failed.

Zhou Xiaogu lost that fight and was rescued.

Although Chen Xi won, it was by taking advantage of information asymmetry, not by sheer strength. If it weren't for the fact that Yao Zu's Heavenly Gift Domain allowed for position swapping, he would have been the one to die.

Faced with this person who came to kill him for no reason, Chen Xi naturally put him on his kill list.

But he wasn't stupid; he couldn't just charge straight in like that, especially since there were two of them.

If nothing unexpected happens, the two people fighting in the distance are Zhou Xiaogu and the person who used the fishing line to lure Zhou Xiaogu away.

That is, his identity as a male model!

Yang Wei spoke hastily at the time and only mentioned a male model's identity. He later added that the male model was actually a Tier II, and his upgraded identity was called "Jade Sword Immortal".

The name of this upgraded identity is much more prestigious than that of a male model; it sounds incredibly impressive. The only question is what the specific extraordinary characteristics are.

He didn't make a move at the time; it's unclear whether he was showing off or if Zhou Xiaogu's mission required a solo kill.

But male models are still in the sixth tier, so they can't be that weak.

Faced with the identities of two overlords, Chen Xi naturally wouldn't act rashly.

With a thought, Chen Xi went to the rock that had been pierced through.

Squat down.

At this moment, Chen Xi put the traditional Chinese medicine methods of "observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation" into practice.

The size of the hole was exactly the same as the one that had pierced Yaozu's forehead, which was Chen Xi's first impression.

At the same time, as he got closer, Chen Xi sensed something unusual.

It's hot here, the kind of scorching heat that comes from burning.

The temperature around this rock was significantly higher than around other rocks.

Chen Xi guessed what was going on, stretched out his hand, and his first reaction upon touching the rock was to say two words.

It's so hot!

next second.

The rock collapsed with a loud crash.

Chen Xi's touch was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

He wasn't worried that Zhou Xiaogu would hear what was happening here, since the battle over there was much noisier than this.

Moreover, even a slight gust of wind could break the rock, and the darkness greatly reduced visibility, making it virtually impossible for Chen Xi to be discovered by the other party.

"An attack that looks like it's been waiting forever will indeed bring its own scorching heat."

"But this is only incidental. Unlike the blazing sunlight of the curly-haired fake man, it is not primarily for burning."

"But this intense heat is far greater than when I fought it before; it's become stronger, which means..."

"Did Zhou Xiaogu complete the mission?"

Chen Xi murmured a few times, many questions flashing through her mind.

If he remembered correctly, Zhou Xiaogu's mission was to kill a unit with an abnormal lifespan.

It's indeed abnormal that her lifespan is always 1. According to Chen Xi's understanding, apart from herself, only a symbol of infinite lifespan meets her standards.

But after fighting Chu Qingge, who symbolizes peace, Chen Xi realized that Zhou Xiaogu could not possibly defeat the symbol.

"It seems another target who met the criteria was killed..."

Chen Xi could only make a judgment based on the current results.

Should we go or not?

Chen Xi asked himself the question.

As the saying goes...

When in doubt, consult the spring breeze.

But it's summer now!

A few seconds later, Chen Xi's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed...

It seems they've made a choice!

(I made a few minor changes to Chapters 249 and 263, mainly because they incorporated the hyperthymesia setting. I've corrected that now. The setting is that the timeline being reflected must be the timeline of a real, living person and the state at the point of their last conversation with the protagonist. If you want to go back and read them, go back and take a look.)
