The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 954 Two Golden Crows (Part 1)

"%￥#*@!"

Even after returning to Heaven, Liu Sheng was still cursing.

But now I can finally vent my anger.

"That damned OOC monster! And that despicable Shen Zhiyu, what an ingrate! Why did he have to expose my identity?! It caused my OOC index to skyrocket, directly exceeding 100%!"

Liu Sheng paced back and forth in the Heavenly Court, his robes fluttering, almost causing sparks to fly from the clouds created by the "world".

"I can't believe the OOC monster actually managed to catch up! Even Professor Shen's burst of power couldn't eliminate it! It even managed to finish him off!"

"We had already saved the world! But this OOC monster destroyed the world just because my index exceeded 100%! Is that reasonable?!"

[Yes, so now the sinner for all time isn't Professor Shen, but you.] "The World" added timely reminders.

The thought of this drove Liu Sheng even more insane.

He grabbed his hair and ruffled it violently, making it look like a bird's nest.

Ling Xiaoshu noticed his sister's return and that she seemed to be in a bad mood, so he quickly came over to ask:

"What's wrong, sister? Did you destroy the world?"

"I--!"

Liu Sheng had nothing to say and finally lowered his eyelids sadly.

"It was my fault."

Ling Xiaoshu imitated his parents, gently touching her hair and making it even more messy.

"Sister, I believe you must have tried your best, but there are many things that are beyond your control."

Liu Sheng shook her head again, "I should control myself."

"But you also said that high-dimensional analysis is just a past event, or even a kind of image. If that's the case, then everything has probably already settled in reality, so there's no need for you to blame yourself so much."

“But it’s not certain yet.” Liu Sheng took a deep breath and closed her eyes slightly. “From a higher-dimensional perspective, every timeline truly exists…”

[In that case, we need to figure out where the "OOC index" concept actually comes from.]

The world reminds us.

Liu Sheng's gaze sharpened: "I originally thought it was unique to this instance. At first, I thought it was 'He Tao,' and later I even thought it was because of Professor Shen, but now it seems that it's not like that at all."

"In that case, it probably comes from a higher dimension?"

Her heart sank sharply.

There is only one way to find the answer now.

“Yes!” Liu Sheng nodded slightly. “I still have one more chance to enter higher-dimensional analysis, right?”

【Yes. 】

However, we were going to re-enter the analysis anyway, as this analysis is incomplete.

Liu Sheng nodded slightly, indicating that she was also prepared for this.

What is the completion rate this time?

The results of this high-dimensional analysis are as follows:
-
[Name]: A Golden Crow (Decline Phase)
[Analysis Completion Rate]: 61.53%
[Type]: Ancient Spiritual Artifact
[Effect Description]:
Based on the assessment, the object is essentially a star that has been forcibly compressed to its limit. The object originally had a "spacetime compression shell based on the law of attraction" to maintain quasi-steady-state operation.

However, once the shell is forcibly expanded, it enters a phase of extreme expansion, reaching a critical point of explosion and posing an extremely high degree of danger.

[Influence Level]: B
[Analysis and Evaluation]: You saved the world, and you destroyed the world.

Points earned: 3 (currently 430)

[Analysis Reward]: Zheng Qiran's Notebook

[Number of high-dimensional parsing attempts]: -1 (1 attempts remaining)
There is no 100% resolution.

It was barely passing.

Liu Sheng was disappointed, but he also knew that he had indeed failed.

There are still many mysteries to be solved in this instance.

Her involvement was still too superficial.

If it weren't for obtaining a summary of information and key data from Professor Shen in person, I probably wouldn't even have passed the current passing grade.

In fact, she failed from the very beginning.

Since Zheng Qiran's death, she has been affected by that strange phenomenon, which has caused her to be constantly on the run and unable to make any plans.

Thinking about the so-called "law of attraction," perhaps the strange occurrences around her, and even the appearance of LBKids in Qingyang City, are due to this.
Therefore, this time, it should have been prevented from the very beginning.

Liu Sheng had roughly figured out what to do.

To the "world":

"Please type the entire notebook into my notebook first; I don't have time to look at it here."

Yes, you don't have time.

Entering a high-dimensional analysis takes a negligible amount of time, but still consumes about half a minute.

There are currently 183 seconds left in the countdown.

But there's still one thing to deal with.
-
[High-dimensional items available for exchange have been detected. The list is as follows:]

【1. A Golden Crow (Seed Form) - 10 points】
-
This was an unexpected surprise.

But thinking about it, it makes perfect sense.

In the end, she truly took over this "Golden Crow" only after Professor Shen granted her access.

Unfortunately, we can only obtain the "seed body," which is the original form that exists in this ruin.

Liu Sheng thought for a moment, then simply asked "the world":
"Can I incorporate this into higher-dimensional analysis?"

Yes, any product from higher dimensions is acceptable.

Otherwise, how did we come up with all those complex calculations and deductions out of thin air? With your mortal brain?

Liu Sheng really wanted to hug and kiss the "world," but unfortunately it had no physical form.

"Thanks to you, I was able to deploy Skynet at that time, but unfortunately, it all fell apart at the last minute..."

Remember, your initial goal was to find the data.

Obtaining one "seed body" is considered a successful completion of the mission.

The next step is to truly understand how the "spark" within this ruin works.

"clear."

Liu Sheng nodded, counting on his fingers.

"And how to package, compress, decompress, output, and control..."

For the Celestial Ship! Charge!

Encouraged by "the world," Liu Sheng waved goodbye to Ling Xiaoshu and immediately entered the high-dimensional analysis again.

……

When Liu Sheng woke up again, he noticed an unusual yet familiar gaze.

It was both icy cold and scalding hot.

She turned over and continued to "fall asleep" with a clear conscience.

But in reality, my consciousness is clearer than ever.

My mind was racing—

In her second playthrough, entering the higher-dimensional analysis of "A Golden Crow," she must immediately clarify several key objectives:

First and foremost, we absolutely cannot allow the OOC index to exceed the limit again.

If she doesn't want this timeline to be completely erased, she has to play the role of "He Tao" properly.

Secondly, we need to find a way to remind Shen Zhiyu of the danger posed by the "Golden Crow" to prevent a final outburst.

But there are only two days left...

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that—

Stop Zheng Qiran's death!
Otherwise, that so-called "law of attraction shell" will transfer to oneself, leading to endless strange and bizarre entanglements...

and many more!

Thinking of this, Liu Sheng suddenly stiffened and almost jumped out of bed.

Something's not right!
She wanted to check her phone to confirm what the number was.

But under the watchful eyes of others, they could only suppress their emotions.

But she clearly remembered that in her current memories—

Zheng Qiran had already jumped from the building, his skull split open, the scene resembling a watermelon exploding. "He Tao" was so frightened that she fainted on the spot and was subsequently taken to the school clinic...

So she's still in the school clinic?
The gaze directed at him couldn't possibly belong to his two roommates.

A quick glance revealed that this was indeed the case.

Under the bright, cold fluorescent light, a figure in a police uniform sat not far away, quietly watching her.

It was that police officer.

It seems that because of Zheng Qiran's matter, Yu Meng went to see "He Tao" again, but seeing that "He Tao" was still sleeping, she left after watching for a while.

As the footsteps faded into the distance, Liu Sheng quietly breathed a sigh of relief and reached for her phone on the bedside table.

【5318年4月11日17时06分】

He gasped again.

Oops!

It has indeed been past the time of Zheng Qiran's death.

This time, the "second playthrough" didn't start from the same point in time!

This is the first time.

[This is probably related to the OOC monster's devouring.] The word "world" appeared.

[You mean, once the timeline is consumed by the OOC monster, my re-entry into this higher-dimensional analysis will be delayed?]

That's right, it's probably because that part of their time was consumed by food.

Liu Sheng hissed softly.

What kind of being is this? How could it possibly do such a thing!
There is now a reasonable suspicion...

Liu Sheng had already thought of it:
Is it that a higher-dimensional being has its eye on me?

【Yes. 】

[Those of us who have entered into higher-dimensional analysis are like tiny worms crawling along complex spacetime lines. At first, they are not very noticeable, but as they crawl more, they naturally leave some subtle traces of wormholes, which will eventually be noticed.]

[They may have discovered our existence, but they might not have been able to figure out who we were, or even what we were. With so many overlapping timelines, and us being so insignificant, they simply couldn't grasp us.]

The OOC (Out of Control) mechanism is very likely a trap set up to "catch bugs."

[After all, from a higher dimension's perspective, these timelines are an overlay of the past, present, and future, so they clearly know the direction of everything. As long as they follow the existing path, this mechanism will not be triggered.]

Liu Sheng closed her eyes, a sense of powerlessness rising within her:

Does that mean I can't change anything?

Of course not. As long as you make changes slowly, gradually, and in a reasonable way... there shouldn't be a problem.

[Furthermore, you've already become a monster, and a drastic change in your personality is possible. Based on the monsters we've encountered before, such changes seem utterly illogical. However, this is a last resort; after all, we don't want to fall into the abyss.]

This makes sense.

This gave Liu Sheng a glimmer of inspiration.

The fact that He Tao's personality drastically changed during this period is itself a foreshadowing. If I were to gradually change her based on this... it shouldn't arouse suspicion or trigger out-of-character (OOC) behavior, right?

Having made up her mind, Liu Sheng had just sat up.

A loud shout immediately came from outside the door: "Hey, this student is awake, officer. Weren't you going to ask him questions?"

As soon as Liu Sheng looked up, she saw the school doctor walking towards her with a smile, followed quickly by Yu Meng, whose expression was sharp.

Her heart tightened, and she almost fainted again.

She had just decided to play the role of "He Tao" well when she ran into the most difficult character to deal with.

[What's worse, your two roommates are already talking badly about you behind your back.]

The world silently reminds us.

This is a huge challenge...

Liu Sheng's mind raced as he began to devise several possible coping strategies.

Whether to imitate a panicked, red-eyed, pitiful look or to simply pretend to faint and collapse, Liu Sheng ultimately chose to remain expressionless due to her poor acting skills.

[This is the simplest and laziest way to perform!] The "world" scoffed.

[Tsk, I know my own limitations!]

[Besides, isn't it normal to be so frightened and expressionless when faced with a sudden change in circumstances?]

"How are you feeling now, classmate?"

Liu Sheng turned blankly to the school doctor who was examining her, shook her head, and said nothing.

Are you still dizzy?

"I'm not dizzy anymore."

"Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

"My body... seems fine, but... that image keeps popping into my head..."

Liu Sheng buried her face in her palms and shook her head softly, as if trying to shake that scene out of her mind.

Actually, it's just to cover up the expression...

The school doctor sighed and turned to Yu Meng: "He Tao may have been frightened and has a post-traumatic reaction. Officer, do you want to continue questioning her?"

Yu Meng's eyes still held suspicion, full of scrutiny.

[Your added scenes still don't feel natural enough.] "World" comment.

This "OOC" (Out of Character) mechanism is way too difficult for me! I'm not a Peking Opera performer, or, in today's parlance, a professionally trained actor!

But now, you must be.

As Liu Sheng and "The World" were bickering in their minds, Yu Meng stepped forward, dragged over a stool, sat down beside her, looked directly at Liu Sheng, and asked softly:

"He Tao, is that right?"

"Are you... a police officer?"

"Yes, I am Yu Meng, the captain of the Third Criminal Investigation Team of Qingyang City. There are some things I need to confirm with you regarding Zheng Qiran's death."

He Tao weakly raised her head, her voice trembling slightly: "Is Zheng Qiran... really dead?"

"I'm sorry, that's right."

"what……"

He Tao gasped softly, her face deathly pale, her lips trembling slightly, as if all her strength had been drained away.

The world silently gave a thumbs up in its heart: [This acting was great.]

"You don't believe she's dead?"

"I thought... I could still be saved..."

He Tao shook her head, her eyes vacant.

“Oh…” Yu Meng nodded, then suddenly her eyes narrowed as she stared at Liu Sheng and asked, “So, how is your relationship with her usually…”

Almost identical questions.

Having already experienced this once, Liu Sheng was able to face it calmly this time, though his answers were less sharp and less self-righteous.

He simply expressed his innocence in a roundabout way.

So, during this questioning session, Yu Meng didn't show the same level of admiration and wariness towards Liu Sheng as she had in the previous episode, but it was clear—

She suspects you.

He said, "The world is a place of keen observation."

What?! I tried so hard to act, and she still doubts me!

Liu Sheng was filled with resentment.

[It's precisely because you tried so hard to act, acting so fakely, like an innocent little flower, that people find you even more suspicious.]

[More?] Liu Sheng noticed this comparative degree.

Yes, compared to the first playthrough.

Liu Sheng rolled her eyes in her mind.

It was all for nothing.

But let's have our doubts.

At least the "OOC index" has not increased.

She has now come out of the school clinic and is slowly walking towards the cafeteria.

It's almost six o'clock, time for dinner.

Along the way, many people still stared at her with strange looks and whispered among themselves without any attempt to hide it.

However, Liu Sheng was no longer worried. After all, it was just a look, and it wouldn't hurt him.

She was even thinking about what to order for dinner later, whether it would be fried noodles or a rice bowl...

Unexpectedly, the next second.

A basin of foul-smelling water, mixed with oil stains and rice scraps, was suddenly splashed at Liu Sheng.

She instinctively turned to the side, barely managing to avoid it.

"You dare to hide?"

A dark-skinned, muscular boy stood opposite, his eyes bloodshot, his teeth clenched, and he slammed the empty iron basin he was holding onto the ground with a thud.

This face looks familiar...

[Qu Fan, you forgot? Oh, right, you forgot.]

Qu Fan clenched his fists, staring intently at her. "Murderer! You are the murderer!"

Why was he so emotional this time, even taking the initiative to speak out? Liu Sheng wondered.

[Perhaps it was during the time you were away and He Tao fainted that something happened.]

Not only Qu Fan, but also many more students gathered around.

Some were angry, some were indignant, some were just watching the show, and some were taking advantage of the chaos; they all pointed and cursed.
"You still dare to eat in the cafeteria? Do you really think you're human?"

"You have such a thick skin."

"I heard she drove Zheng Qiran to his death..."

"This kind of wicked person is disgusting even in life!"

The crowd was in a frenzy, like oil boiling in a pot.

Enraged, Qu Fan strode forward, making a move to shove Liu Sheng.

A tall, thin girl quickly stepped forward to stop them, saying, "Just talk, don't hit me!"

Qu Fan had no reason left.
He glared fiercely. "You're protecting this murderer? You wouldn't happen to be an accomplice, would you?"

Upon hearing this, the tall, thin girl glanced around and saw only indifferent, mocking, questioning, and even contemptuous gazes.

He gritted his teeth, took a step back, and chose silence.

They watched helplessly as Qu Fan raised his fist and smashed it hard towards "He Tao".
