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

The answer "demi-human" was an unexpected situation.

Assuming the old father is a fake, having been in hiding for a long time, it would be impossible for him to make a mistake in his second answer.

So there's only one answer: the old father in front of us isn't Chen Xi's father at all!

This positive conclusion put Chen Xi at ease.

At least it preserved the innocence of his parents.

At the same time, the radar theory summarized was not wrong.

There was one thing that Chen Xi had overlooked before.

That means there is one other person besides one's parents who meets the conditions of radar theory.

That's Old Wang, who lives next door in apartment 1505!

Chen Xi didn't know Lao Wang's usual routine, but she could hear him opening and closing the door every day, mostly at night or even in the early morning.

Yesterday, when Li Jibin was on the phone with his parents, the surrounding environment was noisy. Judging from the time and their habits, his parents were most likely taking a walk downstairs in the community at that time.

Then the conversation on the phone could be overheard by Old Wang next door.

Especially considering the parents' condition at the time, they must have been quite conspicuous in the crowd.

Furthermore, just like superhumans, once they enter Stage I, regardless of what abilities they possess, their physical attributes will be enhanced to some extent, which means they will have stronger hearing.

If you happen to hear some keywords, it's easy to follow the clues and find something.

"Why are you so sure of my identity?"

"We've never had any direct contact before; we've only seen each other from a distance."

Old Wang remained silent for a while, looked directly at Chen Xi, gradually became expressionless, and readily admitted it.

Chen Xi directly asked about the imposter, and then named him by name. Under these circumstances, he no longer had any chance to launch a sneak attack or make the first move.

Whether he admits to being a fake or not, Chen Xi will treat him as such.

After saying that, his appearance changed from "old father" to "Old Wang next door," wearing a sleeveless vest, and it seemed that he was more used to using the image of "Old Wang."

The vicious dog was startled by the scene, barked, and ran away.

"you guess."

Chen Xi did not answer. This was not a question on the test paper, so why should she give an answer?

Given the Emperor's visit last night, the matter of the mysterious tennis ball must not be exposed, even if the other party is unaware of it.

Similarly, matters concerning the second sequence should not be told to others under normal circumstances, as doing so would only increase one's own danger.

If that attracts a full-scale manhunt from the fakes, then it's truly over.

Yesterday, on the one hand, I didn't know I might be the only one left in the second tier; on the other hand...

Chen Xi really wanted to show off!

It's like holding a royal flush; you always want to have your fill. But yesterday's situation was different; it was either you or me. Saying it wouldn't have any impact on Chen Xi personally.

"I underestimated you, a top student."

Old Wang remained expressionless.

"But you're so confident you can beat me?"

"certainly."

Chen Xi affirmed.

"Since you're here today, it means you were probably eavesdropping outside my house last night, right?"

"No wonder my vicious dog went back to the front door after I petted it yesterday."

"He doesn't bark much, but he does some dog-like behaviors."

"Therefore, you know my family's schedule today, but you cannot be sure of my identity."

"After all, there is a certain connection between identity and extraordinary characteristics. You can roughly judge what type of ability I have from my identity and name."

As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle."

For example, there's the good guy with serial number 90 and the security guard with serial number 203.

In a one-on-one situation, the good guy would definitely be beaten to death by the security guard.

"Since you're targeting me, it means you've also recently acquired your innate talent, and your progress is less than or equal to mine. Based on the information, you've determined that I'm a newly awakened superhuman."

"You're being so cautious because you're not very confident in your abilities, right?"

"If I'm not mistaken, what you possess isn't some kind of innate talent for combat, is it?"

Chen Xi calmly analyzed,

He deliberately exposed both palms to the other man's view, giving Lao Wang the illusion that he had no weapons.

In reality, it involves silently channeling mental energy into the mysterious tennis ball.

This thing takes time to activate, but fortunately, only Chen Xi can see its appearance; only those who are extremely sensitive to telekinesis can notice it.

Old Wang is a novice and a fake; he doesn't have that kind of ability.

"Ha ha ha ha."

"Chen Xi, oh Chen Xi."

"Your analysis is quite good. I did indeed guess your identity as an Awakened from the conversations between your parents and teachers, including eavesdropping outside the door last night."

"But you're wrong about one thing."

"The reason I did this is indeed, as you said, to gather as much information as possible; to put it bluntly, I wanted to get some information from you for free."

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle. In a world where you only have one life, this applies to everyone."

"But that's not because I'm weaker than you!"

"It's just that I have a very cautious personality."

"I hope to add another layer of certainty to what I already have."

"After all, I only have one life, and nobody wants to die, right?"

"As for your so-called innate talent, well, that's really just bad luck..."

After Old Wang finished speaking, a ruthless glint suddenly appeared on his expressionless face.

coming!

Chen Xi thought to himself.

The next second, with a "poof", two more arms grew out from the back of Old Wang on both sides!

Not only that, his physique also increased dramatically, from his original height of over 1.7 meters to about 2.5 meters, with a body full of muscles, looking terrifyingly strong.

Visually, it gives the impression of someone who could kill two cows in a field with a single punch.

"I really do have a natural talent for combat!"

"I see......"

"The original image in that blurry, pixelated photo of Bafeng Mountain—that four-armed monster—is actually you!"

"Considering your innate talents, if I'm not mistaken, yours is the 100th ranked innate talent, 'Arm Extension,' right?"

"That was the first time I used my ability."

"I didn't expect you to be so calm after seeing me like this?"

"You don't think that just because someone has a natural talent ranked 100th in strength, you've already won, do you?"

"Yes."

Chen Xi spoke frankly.

"That's quite confident."

Old Wang looked down at Chen Xi, a cruel smile playing on his lips.

"I have bad news for you."

"This strength ranking is an abbreviation; it refers to future strength."

"To put it simply, it's a ranking of innate talent and potential!"

"The reason why the extended arm is ranked 100th is not because it's not strong enough in Stage I, but because its potential isn't high enough!"

"Most of you at the Transcendental Stage I are no match for my extended arm!"

After saying that, Old Wang instinctively licked his lips:

"I never expected to meet you so soon after acquiring my innate talent; you've given me a perfect start!"
