Oh no! I'm surrounded by female ghosts!

"I'm asking you, where is Gu Yan now?"

Su Ming remembered that Gu Yan was the first person to lead the team to rescue him from the first level of the abyss.

Yao Guiying bowed deeply, her attitude respectful: "She's on the ground."

"After the original site of the Rose Hotel became the entrance to the abyss, she was in charge of guarding it from the beginning."

Su Ming remained silent.

If he's not mistaken.

At the start of the rescue, Gu Yan originally intended to come down first.

However, the situation on the first level of the abyss was unknown, and as a mother, Yao Guiying could not allow her daughter to put herself in danger.

So Su Ming changed the question: "Where is Gu Shen?"

Yao Guiying respectfully replied, "Your Majesty, after the world update and the Abyss Descent version, although Pingjiang City is temporarily stable, it still requires his personal presence to oversee the situation."

"Several cities in the surrounding area are still in chaos, and the situation has not yet stabilized."

Seeing that Su Ming stopped asking questions, Yao Guiying wisely put down the black box, bowed, and quietly left.

Su Ming did not rush to examine the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner that he had previously conceived.

Instead, they focused their attention on Wen Qi.

Wen Qi's memory has recovered to 78%, but it's unknown whether she still remembers the doomsday line in 2003.

As if reading his mind, Wen Qi raised her hand, grasped his palm, and whispered, "I remember."

"Give me your notebook."

Without hesitation, Su Ming immediately took out the three notebooks from his backpack.

The three notebooks were all different.

One of them was a record made by Chen Zhiwei before she fell into depravity.

One of them is a record made by Chen Zhiwei after she actively embraced the darkness.

The last book is a record I made myself.

Wen Qi took the notebook and stopped bothering Su Ming, quietly flipping through it.

Shen Wanyu, who was standing next to her, also stepped forward slowly, picked up a notebook and began to flip through it.

on the contrary.

While enduring the physical changes, Su Ming flipped through his specially made phone.

After returning to 2026, this specially made phone finally got internet access.

He wants to see what changes have occurred by 2026.

Just as he was browsing through the information, Wen Qi suddenly looked up and reminded him, "The pollution sources we collected in 2003 are all stored in the warehouse on the playground of Heng'an Middle School."

Su Ming's heart skipped a beat, and he remembered this matter.

The situation was too urgent at the time, and Su Ming had no time to receive the sources of pollution.

Wen Qi's condition at the time was also quite unusual.

She carried 11.4% of the ancient taboo knowledge and became one of them.

If Su Ming had arrived a few days later, Wen Qi might have completely lost control.

That terrifying taboo.

Within the framework of human cognition, it cannot withstand for too long.

If he had gone a few days earlier, Wen Qi's knowledge would not have reached its limit.

It must be said that the timing of his arrival was perfect.

"Okay, I understand."

"I will go to Heng An Middle School once my condition stabilizes."

Shen Wanyu, standing beside her, added firmly, "I also want to break through to the Destruction level."

Her meaning was very clear.

The secondary scenario of the Deepsea Ode to the Ocean needs an upgrade.

Only level 3 scenarios can withstand devastating weight.

"Understood, understood."

Su Ming nodded firmly.

He then began to examine the official backend data.

as predicted.

The information about Houhai Village has changed.

The village still holds the Sea God Ceremony every year.

But the village did not disappear; it still exists.

To get to the root of the problem.

It was he who absorbed the pollution source from the mermaid statue in advance in 2003, thus averting the village's destruction.

Apart from Houhai Village.

Some of the sealed items in the official item inventory have disappeared without a trace.

They were most likely sent to Heng'an Middle School in 2003.

Although Su Ming hadn't had time to receive it yet.

However, with the end of the 2003 timeline, they were separated from the real world and became hidden items in the game scene.

Some of the processors who died in the original timeline are now alive and well.

Yao Guiying was one of them.

The core trajectory of the world line has not shifted in the slightest.

Yu Mengnian forcibly attempted to become a sixth-level awakener, causing the world's upper limit to rise, which in turn triggered a world update and the abyss to descend.

Chen Zhiwei fell into the abyss and her whereabouts are unknown.

"I see."

Su Ming muttered to himself.

He roughly understood the rules governing changes in space and time.

His past interventions only cleared away some of the scattered sources of pollution, allowing ordinary people who died from the pollution to be reborn.

But the life and death of these people ultimately cannot shake the core direction of the world line.

As he was pondering this, a system pop-up window suddenly appeared in front of him.

[Host's physical strength exceeds 1000, and mental resilience is 1998]

[System update in progress...]

Su Ming's eyes lit up.

After Wen Qi's favorability rating reached its maximum, the feedback power was surprisingly terrifying.

My physical strength has already exceeded one thousand.

This kind of improvement is too exaggerated.

It should be noted that when he entered 2003, his physical strength was only a little over 200.

Goodness, it's increased fivefold.

No wonder my body is still undergoing continuous restructuring and transformation.

While waiting for the system update, Zhou Zhengyang called.

As soon as Su Ming answered the call, he heard Su Ming's anxious and devastated roar.

"Little ancestor, hurry up and come out of the first level of the abyss."

"I heard from Yao Guiying that your memory has become very obviously confused."

"First, I misremembered the name of the Rose Hotel as the Lychee Hotel."

Then they mistook Yao Guiying for Gu Yan.

"I've already arranged for you to receive treatment from the top professional medical team in the country. You should come back immediately for treatment..."

Zhou Zhengyang went on and on, talking non-stop.

Su Ming's temples throbbed as he listened.

Keep in mind that he had just returned from 2003, a year in which his memories and perceptions were completely upside down.

The last thing I want to hear right now is the phrase "memory confusion".

"Old Zhou, you're the one with a bad memory, your whole family has a bad memory."

"My memory is perfect, there's not a single problem."

"I remember when you were young, you always took care of Yu Mengnian."

"What's wrong? Does Yu Mengnian enjoy listening to you ramble on?"

There was a moment of dead silence on the other end of the phone, followed by Zhou Zhengyang's shocked voice: "Huh?"

How did you know?

This is his past, which he has kept hidden for many years and which very few people know about.

Su Ming rolled his eyes, too lazy to explain further: "I'm not going to argue with you anymore, I'm busy here, I'm hanging up now."

A loud shout came from the other end of the phone: "Wait, don't hang up yet!"

The next second, his tone changed completely, becoming somewhat cautiously obsequious.

"Your Majesty, I've heard that you've become an Awakened One of the Sixth Sense?"

Su Ming glanced at Wen Qi, who was looking at his notes, and then said, "I guess so."

Zhou Zhengyang's excited and flattering laughter immediately came through the receiver: "As expected of the King, your talent is unparalleled, no one can match you."

"My admiration for you is like a surging river, endless and unstoppable, like the Yellow River overflowing its banks."

Then the conversation shifted.

"Your Majesty, would you mind if I made it public that you have become an Awakened One of the Sixth Sense?"

Good guy.

Zhou Zhengyang's flattery skills are almost on par with those of a suicide ghost.

"Alright, alright."

"Do whatever you want, I don't care."

"Also, I'm very busy right now, I'll talk to you later."

After saying that, he hung up the phone with a beep.

He muttered a few words under his breath: "What a hard life."

"but."

He grinned.

The news that he had become a Sixth Awakener made Zhou Zhengyang extremely excited.

Once this news is announced.

The situation in the entire Dragon Kingdom will be largely stable, deterring countless restless and unpredictable forces.

This also made Zhou Zhengyang feel much more relaxed.

After gathering his thoughts, Su Ming continued scrolling through his phone, carefully examining the subtle changes in the world in 2026.

The more he flipped through the pages, the more his brows furrowed, creating a very strong sense of unease.

"wrong."

He is looking at Chen Zhiwei's profile.

Zhou Zhengyang had already granted him full access.

Her information is normal.

The problem is that she has one less student registered under her name.

Where is Lin Jiajia?

Su Ming's heart sank.

Lin Jiajia is Chen Zhiwei's most outstanding student.

The secrets of the first layer of the abyss were discovered through her analysis.

He immediately opened his friends list.

Lin Jiajia's ID has disappeared from the list.

Immediately, Su Ming dialed Zhou Zhengyang's number.

"Investigate, help me investigate someone named Lin Jiajia."

Zhou Zhengyang was completely confused: "Which Lin Jiajia?"

This question stumped Su Ming.

Because he had never even seen Lin Jiajia's face, he didn't know how to describe her to Zhou Zhengyang.

After thinking for a few seconds, Su Ming said decisively, "Investigate all girls named Lin Jiajia across the country, every single one of them."

hang up the phone.

Su Ming's eyes were somewhat dazed.

Some of the dead have suddenly come back to life.

Some living people suddenly disappeared.

Is this the kind of spatiotemporal anomaly that alters the past and influences the future?
