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

Chen Xi bent over at almost a 90-degree angle and spoke to the dark yellow well water.

Except for a few special areas, the Black Tower was always sunny with good lighting, but Chen Xi's face was not reflected in the water at all.

It's obvious that this isn't ordinary water.

This also proves from another perspective that Chen Xi did not come to the wrong place.

The reason for asking this question was certainly not to fulfill Zhou Xiaogu's last wish of burning the answer for her.

Instead, through today's interaction, Chen Xi discovered that Zhou Xiaogu had learned quite a lot since their last separation.

There are likely "unspeakable secrets" in these matters. The appearance of the "battle runes" further solidified Chen Xi's belief in this idea.

Chen Xi didn't know if Zhou Xiaogu knew that "battle patterns" couldn't kill each other, but it wouldn't matter if she did, because she couldn't possibly know that Chen Xi had "battle patterns".

However, there is a strange point about "battle runes" that is, it seems that apart from Chen Xi himself, everyone else can master this power?

Why is it only Chen Xi who can't do it?

Also, I wonder if the "Destruction" authority would have been killed by the white lightning if it had used battle runes against me back then.

Based on the current situation, Chen Xi feels that his "battle runes" are the advanced version, the kind that the Black Tower bestows.

Theoretically, it should be possible to kill "Destruction," but it would be difficult because Chen Xi's strength is simply not at the level required for the opponent to activate "Battle Runes."

This is a side note, but it's also the only method Chen Xi has come up with so far that can kill those in power.

My thoughts returned to the well.

Chen Xi didn't know what Zhou Xiaogu meant by "I saw the truth of the world".

However, he still decided to get an answer to Zhou Xiaogu's conclusion here, and perhaps Chen Xi himself would use this answer in the future.

Furthermore, Chen Xi knew that the prophecy of the tortoise would ignore the unit of time and specifically set the deadline at this moment.

If time were to stretch indefinitely, and the planet were to explode, wouldn't all of humanity perish?

After a while.

The dark yellow well water below began to bubble, and then a column of water appeared like a fountain, slowly rising higher.

The water column slowly rose and soon burst out of the well. It then stopped rising and stopped about 1.5 meters above the well opening, level with Chen Xi's line of sight.

Then, like a vendor selling maltose, the dark yellow well water began to disperse, turning and piecing itself together, eventually forming a pattern that looked just like a turtle.

Because of his domain, Chen Xi knew that this thing was the Prophecy Turtle, a special safe zone that could move and looked very much like a turtle.

Immediately, Chen Xi opened "Safe Haven" based on the information she had.

The moment the golden finger opened it, a chill swept over you.

This cold wouldn't harm Chen Xi in his current state, but it would be enough to freeze an ordinary person to death within five seconds.

Chen Xi reached in and took out a thumb-sized ice crystal bead from inside.

Chen Xi didn't know what this thing was, but it felt cold to the touch.

He then let go and threw it into the well.

This process is called "offering sacrifices," hence the name of the prophecy altar.

If the offering is of sufficient value, the prophetic tortoise will answer your question; if it is insufficient, it will not embezzle your offering, and the offering will be washed up by the well water below and returned to you.

The only drawback is that you can't know if the offerings you make are just right for the purpose of addressing this issue.

Whether the value of the offering is much higher or just the right amount, the answer will be the same.

Furthermore, because the location of the prophecy tortoise is mobile, it is impossible to repeatedly test and determine the most cost-effective method.

After all, generally speaking, no one would carry so many treasures with them that they could conduct such a frenzy of testing upon first encountering the prophecy turtle.

The fact that there are so many treasures is itself very difficult to find.

Soon, with a "thud," the ice crystal bead fell into the water, and the prophetic turtle pattern began to change.

This means that the bargaining chip Zhou Xiaogu brought was enough!

Judging from the results, this wasn't Zhou Xiaogu's first time here. It's a pity she's dead now. Chen Xi doesn't know how she located the prophetic tortoise; otherwise, this method could have really helped Chen Xi solve some problems.

The prophetic tortoise pattern formed by the water column began to slowly disperse, eventually forming a character that Chen Xi could directly understand.

A Great Xia script.

yes!!!

The answer is, surprisingly, yes!

If we take this moment as the cutoff point, are there no truly living people left in this world? The answer to this question is surprisingly "yes!"

This is insane!

It clearly includes a time unit.

But if the tortoise's prophecy is correct, then wouldn't all life in this world be living dead?

Are they all reflections of people?

Or is it...?

Chen Xi suddenly remembered a saying that had been popular for a while.

program!

Everyone is fake; they're all computer programs.

is it possible?

Even with all her might to believe it, Chen Xi still felt it was wrong.

Every thought and idea I have is logical and well-founded, and there are even some unexpected ones. How could I possibly be a program?

Furthermore, is the symbol of having an infinite lifespan and having lived through countless reincarnations also fake?

The character "是" on the wellhead resembles a piece of ice melted by high temperature, gradually collapsing and eventually turning back into a water column, which then slowly descends.

Chen Xi knew this was a sign that the tortoise had finished answering the questions.

He watched the water column descend silently without saying a word.

Chen Xi has too many examples to prove that this answer is wrong.

Therefore, Chen Xi did not believe this answer.

The tortoise prophecy was wrong!

Although Lu Xitong said that the tortoise's prophecy was 100% accurate, this statement can also be interpreted as her not having encountered a situation where she received a wrong answer.

Faced with such an obviously wrong answer, Chen Xi had no reason to blindly believe it.

Moreover, if the whole world is a product of reflections of humans, shouldn't there also be an original entity?

Did the original body also die?

There are too many unreasonable aspects.

Then, Chen Xi turned and left.

But just as he turned around, a "pop" sound suddenly came from the well water behind him, and something came out from below.

Chen Xi suddenly turned around and saw a pale-faced scholar holding a Bagua (a type of divination tool) floating above the well, looking at him with a half-smile.

What's going on?

The appearance of the pale-faced scholar clearly exceeded the information Chen Xi already possessed.

This isn't in the process!

Soon, Chen Xi saw something, and her expression suddenly turned serious:

"You are... a symbol!"

Through the transmigrator's "fate line," Chen Xi saw the remaining days of life above the other person's head.

∞!

"What do you want to do?"

Chen Xi stood with his arms hanging down, looking like he had no intention of fighting.

Because of the egg pattern, Chen Xi knew that the strength of each symbol was above that of the ultimate pseudo-human, so he had no intention of fighting.

"That's right, I am the fourth symbol, and I symbolize..."

"Fortune telling!"

"You can just call me fortune teller."

"I can answer one of your questions for free, and the answer isn't a 'yes' or 'no' answer."

"As for the reason, you can understand it as, because you're here, I can answer one of your questions for free."

Because I'm here...?

Chen Xi silently repeated the sentence to himself.

He's a bit confused about the situation right now.

But since I'm here, then...

Chen Xi quickly realized something, a hint of willfulness flashing in her eyes:

"Free, right? Okay, my question is..."

"who I am?"
