Oh no! I'm surrounded by female ghosts!

Su Ming, with Tang Tang in tow, continued deeper underground.

The darkness underground has not yet been corrupted; it is currently the only clean place on Earth.

Have to admit.

Wen Qi's previous suggestion that everyone define an identity for themselves indeed created many opportunities for Su Ming.

Without this identity, Su Ming's current situation would only be more difficult.

As Su Ming's fiancée, Shen Wanyu relied on her strong self-control to see the truth, then chose to die, thus pointing Su Ming in the right direction.

Tang Tang, as Su Ming's future wife, chose him without hesitation, no matter what he became.

Even though Yu Mengnian and Chen Zhiwei were both affected by their identities.

One is Su Ming's Daoist partner, and the other is Su Ming's lover.

Therefore, they did not make up their minds at first.

Hesitation gave Su Ming the opportunity to find out the truth.

Therefore, Su Ming even suspected that Wen Qi underwent a change when "He" first questioned her.

However, Wen Qi's knowledge system was extremely vast, and even if an anomaly occurred, no one present noticed it.

This level of shrewdness and forbearance is terrifying.

If this is indeed the case...

Wen Qi was able to calmly discuss the apocalypse and devise plans with the "monster" in the room.

That's why she deliberately suggested that everyone be given a unique identity, so as to firmly lock in everyone's reasons for staying by Su Ming's side.

She can do that.

Su Ming had complete faith.

The future Wen Qi, relying solely on the cognitive framework of her human past life, has locked away her ghostly nature.

"This guy."

"If the world were in a period of peace, she would most likely become schizophrenic."

Weaving a new cognitive framework and locking away the old one is no less than creating a new personality.

It's not just Wen Qi.

Everyone is terrifying; there's no one who's simple.

Tang Tang watched as Su Ming frowned, his fingertips gripping the teddy bear in his arms tightly.

She was pondering whether to summon the bear cub, grab Su Ming, and forcibly take him to Heng'an Middle School for treatment.

But she remembered Su Ming's words to her not long ago: "Don't attack me when I'm not paying attention."

After hesitating for a long time, Tangtang let go of the teddy bear and temporarily gave up the idea.

Su Ming glanced at Tang Tang discreetly, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.

This girl.

It's much easier to understand than Wen Qi and Shen Wanyu.

Half an hour later, Su Ming stopped and dug out a small hole nearby.

He did not take out a lantern to illuminate the underground cave.

Give Tangtang some breathing room; in her eyes, the underground is already terrifying enough.

He put her down, squatted down beside her, and asked in the gentlest voice, "Tang Tang, do you believe me?"

Tang Tang nodded firmly: "Yes, I believe in my brother."

"Okay." Su Ming stretched out his hand, and an eyeball grew from his palm.

After the eyeball detached, countless fine red nerve veins unfolded, floating in mid-air like jellyfish.

"Eat it."

I want to see the world through your eyes.

Tang Tang looked somewhat frightened, but she did not hesitate.

She picked up the half-empty eyeball and stuffed it into her mouth without hesitation.

next second.

Her face was covered with a dense network of nerve lines.

These neural pathways spread rapidly and eventually converged in the middle of Tangtang's forehead.

She clutched her head and squatted on the ground in pain.

Something was trying to be squeezed out of her head.

All Su Ming could do was grab Tang Tang's hand and say, "Bear with it, it'll be over soon."

To be honest, aside from a very few ways of dying, Su Ming hasn't felt pain in a long time.

The skin and flesh were torn open, and his eyeballs popped out, but to him it was like a slight scratch.

I felt something, but it definitely wasn't painful.

Seeing Tang Tang in such pain, Su Ming finally understood that the pain of an eyeball piercing through flesh and blood is unbearable for ordinary people.

Two or three minutes later, Tangtang fainted from the pain.

Su Ming looked at Tang Tang, who had fainted.

This really touched on his blind spot in understanding.

He muttered to himself, "Does it really hurt that much?"

When it grows long, it can have more than a dozen eyes, and it can even transform its entire head into a giant eyeball.

When it transforms into a giant eyeball, it can indeed be described as painful.

After all, the head felt like it was melting and exploding.

But this kind of pain doesn't even rank in the top 100 of Su Ming's pain perception chart.

He fought with Yu Mengnian before.

She wielded her sword and slashed wildly at Su Ming, but he didn't even utter a sound.

To be torn to pieces.

It's not like I haven't tried it before.

That's all there is to it.

A few minutes later, the neural pathways were fully established, connecting with Tangtang's vision.

Tangtang's forehead flesh was ripped open, and an eyeball popped out.

Su Ming had to cut off his own vision and look through the eyes that were parasitizing Tang Tang's forehead.

Because he is immune to all unknown knowledge.

This sight startled Su Ming.

Tangtang is right.

Everywhere you look, there is twisted and writhing crimson.

Meat, intestines, bones, and thick blood vessels.

Moreover, this meat is not ordinary meat.

It was a swollen, tumor-like mass, black and bloated, piled up in layers, like rotten meat repeatedly crushed in a meat grinder, filled with extreme madness.

"What about the lights?"

He immediately took out a flashlight and turned it on.

The instant the light came on.

The flesh writhed wildly, and eyeballs of varying sizes and shapes squeezed out, staring straight at him.

These eyeballs are completely different from any human eyeball known to humankind.

It inherently possesses an extremely crazy nature.

Su Ming also saw the... umbilical cord on his head.

It really looks like an umbilical cord, one end connected to its own head, the other end deep into the darkness.

He even scratched it with his hand.

Unfortunately, we couldn't catch it.

Through Tang Tang's perspective, he finally saw how he appeared in her eyes.

It was a bloated mountain of flesh, its surface covered with countless eyeballs and numerous struggling, wailing faces.

Its lower body was formed by dozens of thick, sticky tentacles, making it extremely terrifying.

to be frank.

Even with such a terrifying appearance, Tang Tang still dared to choose him; Su Ming was somewhat impressed by her.

After closing Tang Tang's eyes on her forehead, Su Ming opened his own eyes.

Everything returned to normal around the four weeks.

Ordinary darkness, ordinary underground, ordinary flashlight.

There was absolutely nothing wrong with it.

Immediately afterwards, Su Ming activated the Grand View and began to examine it with all his might.

The gaze pierced through the earth, through the dense darkness, and then landed on the surface.

As you can see, darkness on the surface is spreading underground at an extremely rapid pace.

At this rate, the underground will be completely soaked in darkness in five or six days at most.

The pseudo-people on the surface are becoming more and more normal.

Normal communication, normal life, a perfect replica of her life before death.

However, some people still retain the gruesome appearance of the moment of death.

However, the others did not seem to notice the problem.

Just as Su Ming had predicted, the world began to shift back to "normal".

Keep looking up.

Su Ming saw it.

It is the sky.

The blue sky is covered with countless blood-red lines.

These blood vessels replaced the atmosphere, forming a thin membrane.

Countless fine blood vessels dangled from the flesh membrane, stretching for thousands of miles, taking root in the earth, like a terrifying root system that had taken hold of the world.

"Darkness is becoming a reality."

This time it's a real substance, not just a feeling.

He is transforming from the formless to the visible.

It's like... a ferocious beast slowly resurfacing.

At that moment, a faint female voice appeared out of nowhere in Su Ming's ear.

The voice was devoid of any emotion, yet it made him turn around abruptly.

He recognized the voice so well.

It was Wen Qi's voice.

However, he did not notice Wen Qi.

Only the voice is speaking.

"It's similar to human flesh and blood."

"While He is changing humanity, humanity is also subtly changing Him."

"These human-like flesh and blood are proof of that."

Su Ming thought about it again.

indeed so.

Darkness is formless, so it may appear in various forms.

But why did He choose flesh and blood similar to humans?

Because He was influenced by humanity.

In normal human understanding, all life is composed of flesh and blood, which is the so-called carbon-based life.

Wen Qi's voice was still ringing out.

"He will appear."

"Appearing in a manner similar to that of humans."

"No matter how terrifying He is, He will ultimately limit Himself to the framework of human cognition."

"Su Ming, don't die."

"You are the only presence on Earth that it senses as a threat."

These were Wen Qi's last words.

But those words made Su Ming's eyes light up.

He understood.

They understood the stage script that Wen Qi had meticulously crafted.

"Awesome!"

Su Ming sighed inwardly.

Bring Him to a level infinitely close to that of humanity, making Him comprehensible.

If something can be understood, it means it has flaws, weaknesses, and the possibility of being killed.

Su Ming was the bait.

When faced with a threat, all things in the world have only two choices.

Either get away from it or kill it.

Clearly, that "He" chose the latter.

As long as Su Ming is alive, He will be restless and unable to eat or sleep.

Therefore, as long as Su Ming continues to live, He will inevitably take action personally.

The transformation of the sky into flesh and blood is the best proof.

Wen Qi's calculations were terrifyingly clear.

She wanted to make the only audience member on this stage appear on stage as an actor.

Only when the audience becomes an actor will they be bound by rules and selected.

The way to accelerate the birth of actors is to kill the actors who are already on stage.

Kill Shen Wanyu.

Kill Tangtang.

Kill Yu Mengnian.

Kill Chen Zhiwei.

Finally... kill Wen Qi.

These tasks must be carried out by Su Ming, because he is the bait.

Once Wen Qi carries it out, as darkness becomes increasingly anthropomorphic, He may realize it's a trap.

If it's a trap, He might choose to avoid it.

The little spider used stars as bait to trick the black stone into moving the large rock that was blocking the well.

Did you guess the fairy tale left behind by Chen Zhiwei?

"Oh shit."

Su Ming cursed under his breath.

These women are truly terrifying.

If I were to marry them in the future, let alone cheat on them, the moment that thought even crossed my mind, I'd probably be doomed.

Looking at it from all angles, no wonder I chose Tangtang, my future bride.

Think about it carefully.

Tang Tang is definitely the best marriage partner.
