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

"Take it."

"I have a plan."

Chen Xi knew beforehand that the imposter would arrive before Li Jibin, and he was not surprised at all.

He calmly handed Zhang Wanyi a fruit knife, the very one he had picked up earlier.

Then he leaned closer and whispered something in Zhang Wanyi's ear.

The two had been through thick and thin together, and Zhang Wanyi did not shy away from the situation.

"Okay, I understand."

"Consider it a favor I owe you."

"You don't owe me anything; on the contrary, I owe you a favor. Even though you're trying to save yourself, let's keep things separate."

"And this time, it's not considered me repaying your favor; consider it a gift from me."

Zhang Wanyi wanted to say something more, but Chen Xi responded forcefully and made a shushing gesture, so she stopped talking.

Chen Xi's principle in life is that he likes to suffer a little loss when it comes to interpersonal relationships. This is a conclusion he came to after reading countless books and experiencing many things.

This small loss will bring him great blessings in the future; this is the life lesson he has learned.

Although Chen Xi is only 18 years old, reading has broadened his horizons considerably.

The saying "There is a golden house in books" is truly apt.

But this golden house is not something anyone can open. The inability to forget due to hyperthymesia is one of the keys to opening the golden house, which is both painful and an absorption process.

Buck! Buck! Buck!

The knocking became more urgent.

"Damn it, you're not going to just grab that containment item and run away..."

squeak~

Before the imposter outside could finish speaking, the door was pushed open.

"They keep banging and banging, it's so noisy."

"How could you go without meat?"

Chen Xi said with a look of disgust.

The fake man outside the door looked at him, paused slightly, and seemed to be pondering something.

Chen Xi naturally noticed these details, and it was normal for the other party to have doubts, after all, he was not Li Jibin's image.

Chen Xi's lines were improvised based on the tone of the other party when they knocked on the door and her previous conversation with that fake Reverse Scale.

The ability of top students to quickly integrate information has finally found a practical application.

"Stop being so paranoid."

"I'm using this disguise to prevent any accidents. What if that sorcerer arrives first?"

"I've taken care of both of them. I killed the brat with the Black Tower Stone. The woman is very resilient; although she's no longer breathing, she still has a breath left. Her identity card hasn't come out yet."

"Take care of her right now, take the school beauty's ID card, then I'll take the magician's card, and we'll leave immediately. Don't dawdle!"

"Otherwise, if that sorcerer comes, we'll all be doomed here."

Chen Xi can't read minds, but he can guess the general idea.

First of all, since he doesn't look like Li Jibin now, the other party will naturally have doubts about his appearance.

Therefore, if you explain before the other person asks, it will give them the illusion that you can read minds.

But these are all untenable. Even a fake person who can perfectly imitate an appearance can be seen through by someone who knows them, let alone Chen Xi's ordinary acting skills.

Fortunately, the fake person in front of me has very average close combat ability, so the pressure of the performance will be much less, and I don't need to worry about being killed by the opponent if I make a slight mistake.

"it is good."

After responding, the imposter immediately went inside.

He glanced around instinctively.

Chen Xi naturally wouldn't miss this detail, but it didn't matter, because it wouldn't reveal anything.

His companion was completely swallowed up by the red ball, leaving no trace.

The "Chen Xi" he mentioned was also erased by the Black Tower, leaving no trace.

As for Zhang Wanyi lying in a pool of blood, she had truly died, so naturally, the amount of blood on the ground was undeniable.

Furthermore, what I just said is exactly what that fake man with the reverse scale was planning to do next.

Everything makes perfect sense!

Then, just wait for the other party to get close to Zhang Wanyi, and then suddenly launch an attack.

The reason for this plan is that fake people cannot directly confirm whether they are one of their own.

Unless it deforms in front of you, and Chen Xi's countermeasure to prevent this from happening is...

Talk more.

Actively guide the other person by constantly talking.

Instill in the other person the idea that they should hurry up and kill Zhang Wanyi, and then the two of them should leave together.

When people can make immediate profits, they become less intelligent and less vigilant about risks.

The imposter walked towards Zhang Wanyi's location, and then, without any warning, suddenly created a distance of about two meters, turning his back to Zhang Wanyi.

With a flick of his wrist, a dagger appeared out of nowhere and hurtled straight at Chen Xi's face!

Pfft!

Fortunately, Chen Xi narrowly avoided a fatal blow; the needle didn't pierce his forehead directly, but instead grazed it.

"It didn't work!"

"That felt really weird..."

"Is it that I haven't yet mastered the throwing skills required of a sniper?"

"But even if you're not very skilled, you shouldn't be at this distance..."

"Huff... huff..."

Chen Xi's heart pounded wildly, as if she had just brushed past death.

He took a few deep breaths and touched his forehead, confirming by touch that the wound wasn't deep.

Judging from the color of the blood, the dagger was not coated with poison.

Fortunately, he was prepared for the other party to attack him at any time, so the moment the other party made a move, he used the principle of equality for all.

In this way, the opponent becomes an ordinary person like yourself, and the sniper's throwing ability naturally becomes ineffective.

Although the rule for throwing ability is that the farther the distance, the higher the damage, a dagger can kill at close range without any bonuses.

At least within the scope of Phase I, it is still possible.

The fact that the opponent carries such a melee weapon is likely to compensate for their lack of close-combat ability.

How did you know I was impersonating someone?

Chen Xi asked, feigning exhaustion.

This posture is genuine, because he is truly exhausted, both mentally and physically.

"It's simple, because my partner doesn't talk much; he only states his conclusions!"

The other party's answer made Chen Xi realize where he had lost, but there was nothing he could do, as he didn't understand that fake person who was so arrogant.

"I never expected that you two would team up to kill him. I don't know what you're planning, but unfortunately you're too weak to do it anymore."

Immediately afterwards, the other party pulled a dagger from his jacket pocket:

"That felt really weird, let me try throwing another one..."

Pfft!

Just as he was about to throw another dagger at Chen Xi, a fruit knife suddenly grew out of his heart!

Zhang Wanyi successfully seized the moment when her opponent was careless, and after getting up from the pool of blood, she quickly killed him with a single blow.

The process is as smooth as Dove chocolate!

"With that amount of bleeding, how could you still...?"

The fake man tilted his head, looking at Zhang Wanyi who had suddenly appeared behind him, and said in disbelief.

puff!

puff!

*Pfft x5!*

Zhang Wanyi was ruthless and taciturn; without saying a word, she stabbed eight times to end the fight completely.

thump!

The dummy fell to the ground, and almost simultaneously, a faint light emanated from Zhang Wanyi's body.

Seeing this, Chen Xi guessed what was going on:

"Is this... an upgrade in status?"

"right."

Zhang Wanyi looked down at her hands and feet, her expression showing some surprise:

"I didn't expect that even one-tenth of my experience would be enough. It seems I have indeed reached the critical point."
