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

Smack smack!

Glug glug!

Chen Xi, Yang Wei, the author, Yan Mingliang, and Zhenli sat around a round table.

Eat chicken with gusto, drink cola with gusto.

These foods are formed from mental energy, so the original recipe chicken and cola both have the attributes of a buffet, meaning they are inexhaustible.

The parts that are eaten and the parts that are drunk will grow back on their own.

Chen Xijing sat on the opposite side of truth. He only drank cola, not because he was worried about anything, but because he didn't like fried food.

He had watched Lin Fan gain weight by eating these things, and having learned from his mistake, he naturally didn't want to follow suit. Over time, he stopped liking to eat them.

"First of all, there's a difference between the easel you carry and the ones they carry."

"Oh?"

Chen Xi showed an expression of eagerness to hear more.

Chen Xi had heard of the power of the Kaleidoscope Canvas but had never seen it, but judging from the tone of his voice, what Zhenli was about to say seemed to have nothing to do with the canvas itself.

"That's right, there are connections between a very small number of identities; I call these connections 'unspoken rules.'"

"These 'unspoken rules' exist, but they are invisible and intangible; even the parties involved may not be aware of them."

Chen Xi listened without changing his expression.

He had previously discovered this pattern and called it a bond; it seemed that the school beauty and the clown had always followed some kind of bond.

It's just that ordinary people would find it hard to detect such repeated correlations, and as for the person involved, he's already dead! So it's even less likely for him to notice.

"I've also noticed this 'unspoken rule' you mentioned, but what does it have to do with whether I bring my drawing board or not?"

"Don't rush." ​​Truth took a leisurely sip of his cola. "Among all the identities, only one identity and the fake person have 'unspoken rules.'"

"That's the identity of the 'Son of Heaven'!"

"And the most powerful talent that exists alongside it through 'unspoken rules' is..."

"Hyperamnesia!"

"There exists an unspoken rule between these two top powers: 'the kings never meet.'"

"Literally, you would not normally be able to see the emperor."

"I see......"

"If normal doesn't work, then abnormal will, right?"

Chen Xi quickly understood: "Only the Emperor can find the drawing board in my hand, so if I carry it on my back, the Emperor can find me, and we can meet."

"Is this what they call an abnormal situation?"

"Yes, this is indeed an abnormal situation, but both will be suppressed under these circumstances, which does not mean that the emperor will necessarily find you."

"In this situation, whether the emperor can find you depends on what he is looking for. If he is looking for you as a person, or someone with hyperthymesia, then unfortunately he will not be able to find you."

"It can only be found if the emperor specifically seeks out the painting board."

Chen Xi nodded slightly, understanding immediately.

In other words, whoever the emperor contacts will have their underlying code triggered.

If you're looking for yourself, you'll never meet another king; if you're looking for a canvas, you'll surely find it.

"A similar situation exists with the identity of a 'security guard,' who possesses the ability to return to the emperor's side."

"If you have security guards in your team, and you stay by their side, you will suppress this situation, and the guards will be unable to return to the emperor's side."

"But this is normal. An abnormal situation is when the emperor appears near the guards. In that case, a mysterious force will interfere with the heavenly secrets, causing the guards to not only leave your side but also return to the emperor's side."

Hearing this, even Yang Wei, who was enthusiastically promoting the original recipe chicken, stopped.

Chen Xi also realized this at that moment.

No wonder Tyson Bolt has never been reflected in the film!

It turns out that one of the three mysterious people she encountered was the emperor!

But is the emperor really that powerful?

That mysterious voice belonged to my father; he would never harm me.

Does this mean the emperor has already attained sainthood and become the "protagonist"?

No! Why must the emperor be the strongest of the three?

It's impossible for the emperor to level up at such a speed. One of those three people might be a symbol, but it's unclear why the emperor is following him.

Chen Xi naturally guessed it.

"So, the only way I can absolutely avoid seeing the Emperor is to throw this drawing board away?"

"That is indeed one approach."

"But that would be such a waste. You can just give the drawing board to any one of your three companions."

"In this way, the emperor definitely won't be able to find you, and the possibility of you looking for the drawing board will be blocked by the unspoken rule of 'kings not meeting' because of your close proximity."

"So the conclusion is that if you bring your drawing board, the Emperor might find you; if you don't, the Emperor definitely won't find you."

"In this way, the initiative is on your side; you can decide whether or not to see the emperor."

After thinking for three seconds, Chen Xi made a decision: "I'll continue carrying it."

Truth didn't say anything, he just nodded slightly. He didn't care about anything else, he was only responsible for finding more truth!

Chen Xi did not intend to deliberately avoid the emperor. In addition, Tyson Bolt was still alive. Even if there was a symbol among the trio, he should not be a murderer.

As for the drawing board, to be honest, Chen Xi couldn't use it at all. His so-called Qiankun Brush didn't make any sound at all.

Since that's the case, why not take a gamble?

Let's introduce the variable of the emperor and see if any chemical reaction occurs.

After all, there is a connection between the emperor, the drawing board, and oneself.

That wall blocking the two magnets might just be an unspoken rule of "kings never meet"!

At this point, Chen Xi had to make an attempt.

"By the way, do you know the connection between her identity as 'school beauty' and her identity as 'clown'?"

Chen Xi asked casually.

"I don't know, I don't have that part of the truth."

"Yeah?"

"If I tell you my guess, will it fill in this gap in your understanding of the truth?"

Upon hearing this, Truth shook his head: "No, as the saying goes, words are not enough. The truth I seek must be seen with my own eyes."

"Alright."

Chen Xi responded. He was initially hesitant about whether to tell Zhenli something, but because they had only known each other for a short time, he was conflicted.

No need to worry about it anymore.

"I only know of three unspoken rules. One is your 'no meeting with another king' rule. And of the other two, one of them is..."

Truth paused here and pointed to Yang Wei, who was having a one-on-one match with Original Recipe Chicken.

"It's related to you!"

"An unspoken rule about the identity of a 'lawyer'."
