Oh no! I'm surrounded by female ghosts!

"What kind of flower is that?"

Su Ming stood on the rooftop of the Lychee Hotel, his face filled with shock and speechlessness.

He went to the dollhouse at least a hundred times.

The best time was when the cursed doll's favorability reached over 70.

As a result, the moment his body blossomed, he died.

Once inside, the cursed doll's consciousness and favorability were completely reset to zero.

This flowering curse is terrifying.

Fortunately.

Since the cursed doll has no consciousness, there is no punishment of being brought down to claim its life.

"Logically speaking, a curse shouldn't be so unbreakable."

"Since the cursed doll is a character I'm raising, it must have its own set of rules."

Wen Qi only needs to die at her hands a hundred times to arouse her curiosity and her favorability will enter the second stage.

If you persist with Shen Wanyu for a certain period of time, you will gain her attention and your favorability will enter the second stage.

Tang Tang is special; her innate potential favorability is already at its maximum level, so all she needs to do is complete the favorability upgrade tasks.

Therefore, cursed dolls must also have their own patterns.

"If only I hadn't chosen the school beauty and had chosen the cursed doll instead."

Su Ming stroked his chin, deep in thought.

If he had chosen the cursed doll from the beginning, judging from the current situation, there would have been absolutely no chance of increasing his favorability.

In this way, the Cursed Doll's affinity level cannot be increased, and he will be unable to unlock the next character to develop.

Therefore, there must be some pattern in this that I haven't figured out yet.

Just as he was deep in thought, a system pop-up window suddenly appeared.

The quest to unravel the mystery of the ghost who jumped off the building has been completed.

[Ding! Detection indicates that the exploration progress of the Lychee Hotel has reached 100%]

[Receive exclusive reward: Golden Trophy]

[Exclusive Item: Golden Trophy]

[Exclusive Ability: Descent]

(Friendly reminder: This offer is only valid at Lychee Hotel)

After winning the gold trophy at the Lychee Hotel, Su Ming immediately exited the scene.

After returning to the first level of the abyss, he silently recited to himself.

"Arrival".

Buzz!

A black light rose from the ground, and several iron chains burst forth from the earth.

After the black light disappeared, Tang Tang appeared in front of Su Ming.

She looked around in a panic.

Upon spotting Su Ming, she immediately rushed over and hugged his arm tightly.

Wen Qi and Shen Wanyu looked at Tang Tang, their brows furrowing slightly in unison.

At the same time, a brand new system notification popped up in Su Ming's eyes.

He discovered that Shen Wanyu's favorability rating was also maxed out.

[Detecting the headless female corpse's affinity level is at its maximum, activating the affinity advancement quest.]

[Affection Level Up Quest: Survive for seven days against the headless female corpse]

However, before Su Ming could finish reading the pop-up message...

Tang Tang raised her hand and pinched Wen Qi and Shen Wanyu hard.

Wen Qi remained motionless, his expression completely calm and unaffected.

Shen Wanyu's fair skin flushed instantly, and the blush faded slowly after a few seconds, returning to normal.

next second.

One red candle after another appeared out of thin air, surrounding Wen Qi and Shen Wanyu.

The candlelight flickered, a sudden gust of wind arose, and an eerie atmosphere instantly enveloped the surroundings.

Su Ming quickly pressed Tang Tang's hand down: "It's your own ghost, it's alright."

The red candles then went out one by one.

The little bear that had previously quietly disappeared underground has also emerged again and hidden itself back in Tangtang's shadow.

Tang Tang must have just used her own Ghostly Domain technique.

Judging from its initial form, it should be related to her marital home.

So, Su Ming asked curiously, "Was that your ghost realm just now?"

Tang Tang nodded and said without any attempt to hide her feelings, "It's the demonic abyss in my heart."

"Once you're locked up, you'll never get out."

Wen Qi shook his head slightly, with a hint of assertive confidence: "You can't trap me."

Shen Wanyu echoed indifferently, her expression aloof: "It's just a little effort."

Tang Tang, not to be outdone, raised her head and retorted, "Really?"

Seeing that she was about to raise her hand again, Su Ming quickly pressed her down, then pulled out his own heart and stuffed it into Tang Tang's mouth.

"Eat your food, sweetie."

This finally calmed down the aggressive aura emanating from Tangtang.

She carefully cradled Su Ming's heart, eating it in small bites, and Su Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Until he realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the room.

Su Ming immediately accelerated the growth of flesh and blood, took out two more hearts, and handed them to Wen Qi and Shen Wanyu respectively, smoothing things over: "You two should also say less."

Su Ming was aware of Tang Tang's personality.

She may seem innocent and gentle, but in reality, she is extremely possessive.

Once she senses that someone poses a threat to Su Ming, she will not hesitate to take action, regardless of whether the other party is at the Destruction level or the Turbid God level.

This is her most extreme favoritism towards Su Ming.

Tang Tang remembers Wen Qi and Shen Wanyu, but has never let her guard down.

She only felt at ease when Su Ming was alone with her.

And so.

In the small room, three stunningly beautiful female ghosts were quietly gnawing on the hearts in their hands.

That focused expression was like someone eating the most delicious chocolate cake.

Looking at this bizarre yet harmonious scene, even Su Ming couldn't help but sigh: Truly heartfelt.

Next time, maybe take out some lungs.

Together they form: truly, heartfelt and sincere.

After calming the three ghosts down, Su Ming voiced his doubts.

"There's a very strange problem with the cursed doll."

"As soon as the flower blooms, I will die instantly, without even a chance to react."

"But I always feel that there are key details I've missed. Can you help me sort them out?"

Using his memory, Su Ming drew the eerie flowers that bloomed from the cursed doll.

It was a flower with a sinister yet exquisite appearance.

Its flower stem is jet black and flat, covered with twisted dark purple patterns, and looks lifeless.

The petals twisted and rolled in layers, with jagged edges and sharp thorns.

The center of the flower is as black as ink, gradually transitioning to a dark blood red towards the outside.

The outermost layer has a pale white pattern, giving it a chilling and visually striking effect.

Tang Tang, Wen Qi, and Shen Wanyu looked at the flowers that Su Ming had drawn.

Shen Wanyu spoke first, asking, "How did you feel when the flowers sprouted?"

This is what gives Su Ming the biggest headache.

He shrugged: "I didn't feel anything, my consciousness just vanished."

"If I had to describe it, it's like the power suddenly going out at home."

"He died so suddenly, without even a chance to react."

Wen Qi pressed for details: "How many of them bloom?"

After recalling for a moment, Su Ming said, "I didn't pay much attention to that."

"However, when I use Flesh Regeneration, the larger my body is, the more it will open."

Tangtang, who was standing nearby, quickly asked, "Husband, how did it grow?"

Su Ming said directly, "It grew out of my body."

"The first thing to appear was the wire, and then flowers bloomed everywhere on the wire."

A brief silence fell over the room, broken only by the soft sounds of gnawing.

After a long while.

Wen Qi broke the silence: "It should be the Flower of Evil."

"Its curse power should be closely related to your strength."

"The stronger you are, the more it will bloom."

"The weaker you are, the fewer flowers will bloom, or even none will bloom at all."

"To give a simple example," she said, pointing to the flowers on the paper, "your body is the soil, and your strength is the nutrients."

"The larger the soil and the stronger the nutrients, the more flowers will bloom."

"Conversely, the smaller the soil and the weaker the nutrients, the fewer plants it will produce."

Su Ming suddenly realized.

In other words.

He should approach the cursed doll in the frail state of an ordinary person.

Even if the flower of evil takes root among ordinary people, it may not necessarily bloom.

Shen Wanyu, who was standing next to her, added, "However, everything has its limits, and curses are no exception."

"Although the Flower of Evil is terrifying, it is limited by the power of the Cursed Doll."

"In my judgment, if your physical strength exceeds 10,000 points, you can withstand it even if it reaches its maximum potential."

Su Ming nodded, agreeing.

Then he looked at Tangtang beside him.

Tangtang is intently gnawing on the heart, enjoying it immensely.

Feeling Su Ming's gaze, she looked up and smiled sweetly: "Husband, it's delicious."

After saying that, she lowered her head and continued to nibble carefully.

Su Ming finally understood.

Tang Tang saw that Shen Wanyu and Wen Qi had both asked, so she didn't want to be outdone and asked a question herself.

Then there is no more then.

Hearing Su Ming's light chuckle, Tang Tang frowned and said weakly, "Husband, perhaps..."

"You can eat the flowers."

"Anyway, it grew out of your body."

"My mother once said that you are the type of food you eat."

The unintentional remark startled Su Ming, Wen Qi, and Shen Wanyu.

What a simple and unadorned answer.

Su Ming slammed his fist into his palm and nodded vigorously: "That makes sense."

Tangtang's simple way of thinking occasionally breaks out of conventional logic, giving the most unexpected and divine answers.

"I'll give it a try."

With a plan in mind, Su Ming immediately opened the doll room, clicked "interact," and disappeared.

After Su Ming left, Wen Qi's gaze fell on Tang Tang's ample chest. After hesitating for two seconds, he suddenly asked, "Did you get that from eating it?"

After saying that, she laughed first.

Why did I suddenly ask such a childish question?

The idea that "you are what you eat" does not actually have sufficient scientific basis.

But Tangtang was exceptionally serious, counting on her fingers as she said, "Papaya, milk, eggs..."

Wen Qi looked at Shen Wanyu beside him, about to speak.

Unexpectedly, Shen Wanyu puffed out her chest and said, "I was born that way."

After a two-second silence, Wen Qi stood up.

"boring."

"childish."

She uttered two words and turned to leave.
