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

The homeroom teacher is dead...

Chen Xi felt a little sad. Regardless of whether the other person was an extraordinary individual or not, they were still someone she had spent more than two years with.

However, now is not the time to be sad. Although this matter was sudden, Chen Xi had a vague guess in her heart.

[Chen Xi: When did this happen?]

[Zhang Wanyi: Last night, I don't know the exact time, it was in Sheung Shui City]

[Chen Xi: Was it an idol who killed him?]

He shared his guess.

There is no direct evidence, only suspicion.

Chen Xi suspects that this idol is related to the deaths of Zhang Heng, the internet celebrity, and Dr. Liu.

However, these three are not related and should not know each other.

One of them was even an ordinary person, so Chen Xi couldn't completely pinpoint the idol she met last week; it was just a guess.

[Zhang Wanyi: Strange, Li Jibin shouldn't have told you this when you're only in Stage I. Why did he tell you?]

[Chen Xi: The homeroom teacher didn't tell me anything, I just guessed, and I was right?]

[Zhang Wanyi: You even guessed that? Your academic prowess is off the charts!]

Chen Xi: Just take it as that.

[Zhang Wanyi: Okay, but you guessed wrong.]

[Li Jibin wasn't killed by his idol.]

[If you've been watching the group chat, you'll know that the idol is still in Stage I and hasn't advanced to Stage II yet. Theoretically, he doesn't have the power to kill a mage.]

Upon hearing this, Chen Xi switched to the chat window and checked the group chat. The group now had 171 members.

The idol with serial number 100 is indeed still in stage I.

If the person's status is upgraded, the nickname in the group will be automatically changed; this is the power of the emperor.

Chen Xi called this power "the net of heaven is vast, its meshes are wide, yet nothing escapes it."

The emperor had been monitoring this group to some extent, but judging from the previous situation, it seemed more like the other party was protecting the group, or protecting the extraordinary individuals within it.

[But since we're on the topic of idols, I should also warn you, this guy is dangerous!]

[Based on Li Jibin's investigation, it is highly likely that he murdered both Zhang Heng and the internet celebrity in the group.]

[Chen Xi: Why?]

He had considered this possibility, but didn't know the motive.

The actions of superhumans are generally linked to leveling up; he awakened an idol, not a murderer.

[Zhang Wanyi: According to the information Li Jibin gave me, the identity of an idol is very special; it has two ways of being close to that identity]

One option is to become an idol; the other is to kill an idol.

Becoming an idol goes without saying; it's about being a celebrity or entertainer.

[And the idol in the "Killing Idols" category, as long as they have more than 10,000 fans, will be considered an idol.]

You can think of them simply as minor idols or young idols.

In short, an idol gains experience points by killing more than 10,000 fans.

[The effect is best if the target is a superhuman or a fake human]

Chen Xi instantly understood; this information allowed him to discover the common ground among the three.

Zhang Heng has 1.2 followers, the private photographer among the internet celebrities has 11, and Dr. Liu here has the most, with 15.

All of these conditions are met for killing an idol.

[Zhang Wanyi: This is special because of the idol's identity, and its extraordinary characteristics are also special; it is a kind of idealistic ability.]

It's called "I Believe"

This is a skill with both a very high ceiling and a very high floor. Simply put, as long as you firmly believe in something, you can achieve it.

[The upper limit is currently unknown, but since it's only at Stage I, the ability shouldn't be too high.]

However, the theoretical limit of idols might be able to rival, or even surpass, the extraordinary characteristics of the overlord sequence!

Idealism, right...?

If this ability fell into the hands of an extremely insane person, it would probably be greatly developed.

[Chen Xi: Is no one going to stop this infighting among superhumans?]

[Zhang Wanyi: No, there are only a handful of superhumans to begin with. Are we going to impose the death penalty on murderers like the law? That's why I told you on the day I left that you should always be wary of others.]

Chen Xi: Yes.

Let's skip that topic.

[Chen Xi: I know about the idol's situation, and I will be more careful going forward.]

He didn't mention Yang Wei or his idol.

It wasn't that Chen Xi was deliberately hiding it, but rather that he wanted to do something that needed to be kept secret for the time being.

[Chen Xi: If he wasn't an idol, then what happened to the homeroom teacher's death?]

Chen Xi knew that the homeroom teacher had been searching for the person who killed Zhang Heng, and if the killer wasn't her idol...

[Zhang Wanyi: A pseudo-human, and the second strongest being in the sequence.]

【The only truth! 】

The only truth?

The guy on the high-speed train with an earring in his left ear!

The fake man will only attack those whose progress is greater than or equal to his own, which means that the stage of the One True Truth should be just at stage II.

It's only at stage II, so its strength isn't particularly high. However, one characteristic of pseudo-humans is that the same innate talent can produce multiple awakened individuals.

Unlike superhumans, who can only have one identity regardless of their status.

Then Zhang Wanyi sent another picture.

The picture shows a man, and it's a man Chen Xi has seen before.

It was the man with the earring I saw on the high-speed train that day, the one and only Truth.

[Zhang Wanyi: This is what the only truth looks like]

I mainly want to talk to you about this today.

[You know that fake humans can change their appearance at will.]

However, those who possess the One Truth are somewhat special; they can change their appearance, but they cannot change their appearance "at will."

When the number of people who have awakened the extraordinary knows what he looks like is greater than the number who do not, the One Truth will change its own form.

In other words, when a select few extraordinary individuals know the appearance of the one true reality, they are unable to change their appearance.

This message is only for those at Stage II and above.

But telling you wouldn't really matter; the number of people who know would still be a minority, so his appearance couldn't be changed.

I'm telling you this to warn you to avoid this person if possible.

Although you are not his target yet, the speed at which one's status can be upgraded is faster than innate talent, so you may very well eventually surpass him and become the target he wants to seize his status.

[Chen Xi: Thank you, I will be careful.]

Chat ended.

The information about the idol was purely accidental. Zhang Wanyi's words today were the only truth to warn Chen Xi to be wary of this person who might target him in the future.

Phase II, right...?

Chen Xi murmured to himself, this stage is weaker than he expected, but it is still not something he can handle right now.

Putting that aside for the time being, the appearance of her idol gave Chen Xi a new plan.

"Yang Wei".

"Yes, boss."

"Let's search for internet celebrities whose IP addresses are indirect, and see how many of them have more than 10,000 followers."
