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

It would be understandable if Lin Fan and Tyson Bolt were alright.

After all, both of them have official status.

But Wang Qingqing and Assam obviously did not.

"I don't know either!" Wang Qingqing and Assam looked at each other, but had no answer for a moment.

"In short, I certainly don't have any kind of identity like you or Tyson Bolt, and I don't feel anything unusual about my body or have gained any superpowers."

"Lin Fan, could this be the power of your [Auspicious Day]?"

"After all, Assam and I are closest to you, and perhaps it is your power that has protected us."

Faced with Wang Qingqing's explanation, Lin Fan immediately shook his head: "Impossible."

"The power of 'auspicious days' is similar to the arrangement of luck; it does not grant you any substantial power."

"What if a flowerpot fell from the sky and crushed you to death?"

"The power of the 'auspicious day' will only cause the timing of your meeting to be different, whether the flowerpot is brought forward or postponed. It will choose an outcome that is more favorable to you from the so-called fate."

"This will prevent you from being crushed to death by a flowerpot, rather than giving you the power to fight back against a flowerpot."

"Therefore, the reason why you two haven't become like those people is your own fault, and has nothing to do with me."

After a brief silence, Tyson Bolt spoke up:

"You two should be about to awaken."

"What you guys did suddenly reminded me that when I was about to awaken, there seemed to be some kind of inexplicable difference between me and the people around me."

"I believe it won't be long before you awaken, but I don't know exactly how long it will take."

"By then, all four of us should be able to obtain legal status!"

"So that I can survive in this dangerous other world!"

"Yeah?"

"That's great."

Tyson Bolt's words brought a visible smile to Wang Qingqing and Assam's faces.

The complete opposite of the sense of loss felt here.

Lin Fan didn't say anything. Wang Qingqing was his only acquaintance, and the best outcome was that she was alright now, no matter what.

"Let's go, it's time to head to the next stop."

Lin Fan turned his gaze to the distance and spoke.

"Because of these people, we were delayed here for too long. Unfortunately, we couldn't save the last one. Now it's time to take the next step."

"This isn't your fault, Lin Fan. They think about suicide whenever they have the chance. You can't be with them every second. We did our best."

"Also, what's the next stop you mentioned?"

Wang Qingqing asked, and the other two nodded subconsciously.

Lin Fan's purpose in coming here was to find people, understand this world, and find his way home.

But there wasn't a single living person or even a living creature in this upper town. No one knew where those mountains of garbage below came from.

"Isn't it obvious?"

Lin Fan pointed into the distance:

"Black Tower!"

"We have no other choice. The Black Tower is the only thing in this strange world that we are familiar with yet also know nothing about!"

"We saw it when we were almost in the upper town, and even now that so much time has passed, I've been keeping an eye on it."

"I am now 100% certain that it is fixed and unmoving."

After speaking, Lin Fan looked at Assam, his eyes filled with a complex emotion.

It wasn't that Assam was any special, but rather that his background completely overturned Lin Fan's worldview!

As the two gradually got to know each other, Lin Fan learned from Assam that...

"A" is not a very special surname; on the contrary, it is a very popular surname.

For example, Alps, Alleluia, Ammanin, etc.

But this was just a small matter. Through their conversation, Lin Fan was surprised to discover...

Assam and himself didn't come from the same "place," or more precisely, they didn't come from the same planet!

Assam comes from a blue planet that is extremely similar to Earth.

The cultural background, language, and other aspects there are astonishingly 99% similar to Lin Fan's Earth!

The most obvious difference is the Black Tower!

On the blue planet where Assam is located, the Black Tower is a fixed unit that everyone can approach.

There is no concept of eternal equidism here; over there, the Black Tower stands like a building from a bygone era.

But no one can ever open that closed door, not even nuclear weapons.

In this respect, it is completely different from the Black Tower in Lin Fan's world.

Therefore, the concept of "parallel worlds" came to Lin Fan's mind.

A concept that has been mentioned countless times by scientists, but has never been proven by anyone.

Could the Black Tower be a bridge connecting parallel worlds?

Unfortunately, Assam somehow ended up in this strange world.

"Assam, that may be your way home."

Lin Fan said half-jokingly that they had discussed the topic of parallel worlds before, but without any results.

"I hope so, but even if it were my house, I couldn't get in. That black tower has never been opened."

"And isn't this black tower upside down?"

"It's like it uses the sky as its ground, unlike the Black Tower near my home."

"Even if this black tower really is my way home, doesn't that mean we're already inside the black tower?"

"That's possible." Lin Fan nodded without denying it. "The land area of ​​Upper City is much larger than I thought. It's not just a city; it just so happens that there's a city on this land, and we just happen to be here."

"Indeed, I also think 'Upper City' isn't quite accurate," Wang Qingqing agreed. "How about... we change its name?"

"Change your name?" Lin Fan was taken aback. He had never thought about this before. "It probably doesn't matter what I call myself, it's just a name anyway."

"No, no, no, you boys are always like this, your names are so important."

After Wang Qingqing finished speaking, she glanced around the floor and picked up a rectangular piece of metal that no one wanted.

Take out the marker you carry with you.

Squeak~ Squeak~ Squeak~

He wrote three large characters and then stuck them into the floor with a "plop".

Lin Fan and his two companions looked closely:

"Paradise Lost?"

"Not bad, it's quite fitting for the occasion."

The four of them seemed satisfied with the answer and nodded to each other.

"Alright, let's go. We're going up... We didn't find a single life here in Paradise Lost, but we also didn't find any corpses. I suspect that things might not be as peaceful as they appear on the surface."

"There may be lurking dangers, but we haven't triggered them yet."

"Temporary calm does not guarantee lasting peace. Let's set off now."

"Onward to the Black Tower!"

......

Dragon Palace.

Chen Xi took the Dragon Summoning Flute from Yang Wei.

There is no danger in the vicinity of Sanlonghui, so as long as Yang Wei stays behind the guests and doesn't go out, he will not be attacked.

Chen Xi looked down at the groove on the coffin, his eyes shining with the same unwavering determination he had shown when joining the Party!

"The gamble begins!"

Having said that, he simultaneously slammed the Rising Dragon in his left hand and the Dragon-Summoning Flute in his right hand into the groove of the coffin beneath his feet...
