Oh no! I'm surrounded by female ghosts!

Su Ming finally understood at this moment.

Their perceptions underwent a complete transformation.

The previously defined "abnormal" has been completely negated and has become the "normal" that should be.

His "normality" was instead seen as an incongruous morbidity and madness.

at the same time.

A series of low, hoarse roars surged from all directions of the ruins.

The mechanically repetitive dummy figures, as if receiving some silent command, all gathered around.

One lap, two laps, three laps.

More and more fake people gathered there.

They did not attack immediately, but stared at him with a pair of lifeless black eyes.

Seeing this, Tang Tang's face grew increasingly anxious, and her voice was filled with panic: "Brother, your pollution is almost out of control."

"Stop resisting, come with me, okay?"

"I'll take you to Heng'an Middle School for treatment. Sister Wen Qi will definitely be able to cure you."

In everyone's mind, Su Ming was sick, very sick.

Yu Mengnian closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, there was no warmth left in her eyes, only resoluteness and sorrow.

"Su Ming, if you continue to resist, I have no choice but to..." She paused for a second, then spoke again, her tone as cold as ice: "...kill you."

"Shen Wanyu is dead because of you."

The illusory image of Chen Zhiwei beside him gradually solidified, and his originally translucent body shimmered with a fine layer of watery light.

Her eyes, which had been full of doubt, now looked heavy.

She pulled a notebook from her pocket and carefully wrote down: "The energy of the pollution source continues to surge, the pollution penetrates deep into the soul level, and the distorted cognition of the aberrant beings is severely distorted."

"There are signs that the suspected pollution source is about to erupt. If left unchecked, the pollution source will be completely out of control, and the consequences will be irreversible."

As always, she continued to record what she saw and heard.

For Chen Zhiwei and Yu Mengnian, they are guardians who bear the mission of saving the world.

Even if Su Ming was the person they were closest to and cared about the most, if they couldn't suppress and control him, they had to eliminate him.

After finishing her notes, Chen Zhiwei looked up earnestly, her voice even carrying a hint of pleading, and said, "Su Ming, please trust us, okay?"

"We won't hurt you."

"You're just sick."

After saying that, Chen Zhiwei looked around at the fake men who had gathered there and shouted sternly, "Everyone, retreat!"

"We will take charge of Su Ming's case."

"Xiao Zhao, Xiao Lin, immediately lead the team to evacuate the surrounding civilians."

"The rest of the awakened ones are not allowed to take action without my order."

After saying that, she glanced at Yu Mengnian.

Yu Mengnian swung her longsword sharply, and a sword aura swept across in an arc, eventually leaving a circle on the ground.

Within the circle are Su Ming, Yu Mengnian, Chen Zhiwei, and Tang Tang.

Outside the circle are those pseudo-people who emit low growls.

Su Ming looked at Tang Tang, who was full of worry, Yu Mengnian, who looked resolute, and Chen Zhiwei, who was poised to attack.

All around were the fake men, closing in relentlessly and screaming incessantly.

He finally understood Shen Wanyu's despair and relief at that time.

Shen Wanyu, who had not completely succumbed to the truth, saw through it all and realized that the one who had truly undergone a distortion was not Su Ming, but all of them.

When everything in the world begins to turn right and wrong upside down.

When the perceptions of all those close to you are completely distorted and misaligned.

Being lucid is no longer a blessing, but the cruelest form of torture.

Just like Tangtang just said: "Soberness is the most insane product."

That's right.

Everyone is crazy.

Everyone is very clear-headed.

Su Ming sighed and waved to Tang Tang, "Tang Tang, I need you. Will you help me?"

Without the influence of forced affinity binding.

Tang Tang is the only "ordinary girl" and the only one who will fall in love with Su Ming.

Apart from her.

Whether it's Wen Qi, Chen Zhiwei, Yu Mengnian, or Shen Wanyu, the chances of them falling in love with Su Ming are extremely small.

Even if they fall in love with Su Ming, they wouldn't wholeheartedly devote themselves to him.

Because they are so outstanding.

Su Ming had already noticed.

Shen Wanyu chose to die because she knew that if she succumbed to depravity, she might do the same things as Chen Zhiwei and Yu Mengnian.

The only one who might still be willing to follow Su Ming in this state of "clear-headedness" is Tang Tang.

She was the youngest and the most innocent, her sense of right and wrong, joy and anger were all superficial, she did not know how to weigh the pros and cons, and she did not consider the overall situation of the common people.

Her world is simple and straightforward: it distinguishes between good and bad, close and distant relationships, and is based solely on one's heart.

Even though the whole world sees him as a deformed monster.

Even though everyone was hostile towards him.

But in Tang Tang's eyes, there was never a trace of real hatred or murderous intent, only heartache.

As expected, Tang Tang's face showed a conflicted and struggling expression.

She bit her lip, looked at Su Ming cautiously, and asked softly.

"Brother, will you come to Heng'an Middle School with me?"

Su Ming nodded: "Yes, but not now."

After a three-second pause for thought, she took a step forward.

This step signifies that she has made her choice.

Chen Zhiwei called out from the side, "Tang Tang, Su Ming is not the same person he used to be."

"He will hurt you, he might even kill you."

"Don't forget, he's the one who killed Shen Wanyu."

Tang Tang turned around and shook her head: "Sister Zhiwei, brother is just sick."

"I will persuade my brother to go to Heng'an Middle School for treatment."

"But have you thought about what if?" Her eyes reddened. "What if my brother can't be cured?"

"You would all kill your brother without hesitation."

"I won't agree."

Tang Tang's voice was not loud, but it was very firm.

"My brother is my future husband. No matter what he becomes, he will always be my brother."

"You always say I'm young, that my thinking is too naive, and that I don't understand the dangers of the world."

"I know that compared to you, I am very ordinary and insignificant, and I can't do anything."

"But I just... feel sorry for my brother."

"The most painful thing is for my brother to be able to see the whole world turned upside down so clearly."

"sorry."

She bowed deeply, turned around, and without the slightest hesitation, threw herself into Su Ming's arms.

Even though in her eyes, Su Ming at this moment was a bloated mountain of flesh, a source of pollution that everyone feared.

But in her eyes, her brother was just her brother; he was simply sick.

Just like she once naively said, "Tangtang won't run away."

"Just like Mom and Dad, we'll be together forever and ever."

This is the way children think, and it's also their unique innocence.

Tangtang said more than once, "I feel sorry for my brother."

She really just felt sorry for Su Ming.

I never considered what impact Su Ming's survival would have on the world.

She never even considered whether she should kill Su Ming if he couldn't be cured.

For children.

Go to the hospital if you are sick.

Even though her understanding has undergone a complete transformation, her thinking remains simple.

Su Ming smiled slightly and reached out to firmly embrace Tang Tang, who had jumped into his arms.

He was very happy.

Even if the whole world goes crazy.

There are still people who choose to risk everything for themselves.

And that's enough.

He looked up at the silent Yu Mengnian and Chen Zhiwei.

"If you want to kill me, then go ahead."

After saying that, he held Tangtang in his arms, his figure swayed, and he suddenly sank into the ground and disappeared.

Su Ming did not try to tell them that it was they who had truly distorted perceptions.

Because it's no use saying it.

No one will believe it.

It's like the whole world thinks you're crazy, but in your eyes, everyone in the world except you is crazy.

So, from a macro perspective, is it more likely that you alone are going crazy, or that the whole world is going crazy?

Perhaps this is how a madman views the world.

only.

The scariest thing is...

An ordinary madman living in a normal world, so his madness is truly madness.

Su Ming lives in a world that is entirely abnormal; his normalcy is the greatest abnormality.

Once they were deep underground, Tang Tang clung tightly to Su Ming's neck, her whole body trembling slightly, and she didn't even dare to look up.

The darkness beneath Earth has not yet been eroded by the darkness on the surface; it is the most normal form of darkness.

Why is Tangtang so afraid?

Su Ming held Tang Tang in his arms and asked, "Tell me, what did you see?"

Tang Tang's voice trembled, filled with barely suppressed fear: "Meat."

"There was meat, intestines, and bones everywhere."

In Tangtang's eyes, this most normal darkness presented a terrifying and grotesque appearance, like a hellish realm.

Su Ming said seriously.

"If I tell you..."

"This is the real darkness; it's you who have developed a distorted understanding, not me?"

Do you believe it?

Tang Tang pursed her lips, remained silent for a few seconds, and then nodded with a trembling voice: "Brother, I believe you."

Su Ming rolled his eyes.

From the tone of her voice, he knew that Tang Tang didn't believe him; her claim of belief was merely a sign of favoritism and indulgence.

"Believe it or not," Su Ming said, holding up one finger, "Don't attack me when I'm not looking."

"I will not be going to Heng'an Middle School for the time being."

"When the time comes, I will go to Heng'an Middle School with you."

Tangtang nodded vigorously and then tucked the teddy bear in her arms into her clothes.

Su Ming had already noticed it.

Tang Tang genuinely wanted to take her to Heng'an Middle School for treatment, and that was her only goal.
