Oh no! I'm surrounded by female ghosts!

"Son, you're doing much better than your old man now."

As soon as Su Wangshan entered the door, he warmly put his arm around Su Ming's shoulder.

He is Su Ming's father, a very successful businessman.

Beside her was Su Ming's mother, Song Yu, with gentle features and eyes brimming with doting love and pride.

"What brings you two here?" Su Ming asked, somewhat surprised.

Su Wangshan glared at him, feigning displeasure: "What, can't your mother and I even come to see you?"

Su Ming immediately chuckled twice: "Of course."

Once everyone entered the room, the quiet room immediately became lively.

Some were cooking, others were chatting.

Song Yu held Su Ming's hand tightly, her eyes reddening, her voice full of heartache: "Xiao Ming, don't blame us for not coming to see you for so long."

"We've been helping you contact universities for a while now."

"Your father and I pulled every string we could and even donated a building to Jiangda University to help you get a place in the university."

Su Ming touched the tip of his nose, slightly embarrassed.

With my academic performance, getting into university is indeed quite difficult.

No wonder my parents were so busy the other day; they were contacting schools for me.

The building has been donated, and the quota has been secured.

And then... the end of the world came.

This is a bit awkward.

However, Su Ming straightened his back and confidently patted his chest: "Mom, you should look at me with new eyes after three days of separation."

"I now have a very rich knowledge base."

"Even if you don't contact universities for me, I can still get in."

This is the truth from Su Ming.

He has learned a lot from Wen Qi during this period.

Song Yu held Su Ming's hand tightly, her heart aching: "Son, Mom has heard about what happened to you."

"You're so thin now, you must have suffered a lot."

As she spoke, tears streamed down her face.

Su Ming was speechless.

Has he lost weight?

What a joke!

With one transformation, it can expand to at least six meters.

As for enduring hardship?

That's utter nonsense.

He didn't suffer any hardship.

It was the peak right from the start.

But in her mother's eyes, her child must have endured a lot of hardship and suffering to have reached this position.

"Actually, I've been doing quite well lately, even better than before."

Su Ming quickly changed the subject, his gaze landing on Zhou Zhengyang, who was watching the drama unfold: "Old Zhou, what are you doing here?"

Zhou Zhengyang coughed and leaned closer, lowering his voice: "I came here specifically to see Consort Wen."

"Lady Wen?" Su Ming asked, puzzled.

When did this code name come about?

Speaking of this...

This brings us to the ghosts who jumped off buildings and the ghosts in human skin.

The titles "Empress Wen," "Empress Shen," and "Empress Tang" all originated from their mouths.

Almost everyone accepted it.

Who made Earth have a universally acknowledged king?

"What's wrong with her?" Su Ming asked suspiciously.

Zhou Zhengyang explained in a low voice, "Back when you were in school, Empress Wen massacred Ningnan City."

"Incidentally, we also slaughtered all the seven counties, forty-six towns, and one hundred and twenty-three villages surrounding Ningnan City."

Su Ming blinked and asked, puzzled, "Isn't this great?"

"You said before that Ningnan City had been completely overrun and had almost become a bizarre paradise."

"There are also many awakened individuals with ulterior motives and twisted minds hiding inside."

Zhou Zhengyang frowned, looking troubled: "That makes sense, but the problem is..."

Su Ming's eyes hardened: "Tell me, was the shock effective?"

It's more than just a deterrent.

This earth-shattering purge completely terrified all the dark forces, strange races, and rebellious awakened individuals entrenched within the Dragon Kingdom.

As a result, some fled and others hid, causing the chaos within the Dragon Kingdom to subside at an unimaginable speed.

Everyone knows that.

There is a sixth-level awakened being stationed within the territory of the Dragon Kingdom.

Unless a new sixth-awareness awakener or a destructive-level being is born on Earth, they would never dare to cause trouble in the Dragon Kingdom.

"Um..." Zhou Zhengyang looked to Su Wangshan for help.

Su Wangshan patted Su Ming's shoulder: "Son, what Lao Zhou means is that he went a bit too far."

"It not only frightened various forces, but also terrified the authorities."

"He came here today to ask about Lady Wen's attitude towards the Dragon Kingdom."

Wen Qi's strength is far beyond what is expected; he is in a completely unique class.

Although everyone knew that Wen Qi had been following Su Ming, no one dared to ignore her thoughts.

"This one?"

"Actually, I don't recommend you ask."

"Because it's unnecessary."

"All you need to know is that my attitude is her attitude."

Wen Qi's attitude toward 2026 is very clear.

It's meaningless; it's all an illusion.

All the chaos and power struggles in the world are illusory.

So even if Zhou Zhengyang asked, it wouldn't make a difference.

After dinner, Su Wangshan, Song Yu, Zhou Zhengyang and the others chose to leave.

"Son, we're heading back to the capital now."

"Don't worry, Lao Zhou takes good care of us."

Song Yu actually really wants to stay in Pingjiang City.

But in the end, she suppressed her personal feelings and chose to leave with Su Wangshan.

My son is destined for great things.

They didn't want their presence to distract Su Ming.

Moreover.

The defense system of the capital city is indeed much more complete than that of Pingjiang City.

Staying in the capital would also prevent Su Ming from having any worries.

After Su Ming saw them off.

Once he returned home, his anchor point was completely stable.

Without saying a word, he directly opened the scene page, selected the doll room, and clicked "interact".

My anchor points are now stable.

Presumably, the cursed doll's emotions should have stabilized by now.

However, as soon as he entered the doll room, he was stunned by what he saw.

The dolls in the room have all come to life.

They seem to be performing in a play.

There was a piece of white paper pasted on their backs, indicating their respective roles and identities.

The play's content is the same explosive plot that Su Ming had previously told the cursed doll.

Six main characters have already appeared.

They are: the real young master Su Can, the fake young master Su Ze, the aloof older brother Su Yu, the white moonlight girlfriend, and Su's parents.

The other dolls each have their own roles, playing supporting characters such as butler, driver, and servant.

They can also make sounds, although they don't seem to be very emotional, but they do speak.

For example, Su's parents hugged their son, Su Can, and cried, saying, "Son, we're so sorry."

"What's going on?" Su Ming's scalp tingled.

He hadn't looked at the cursed doll for a day, how come he was actually rehearsing it?

Looking back.

The cursed doll stood not far away, its expression revealing an undisguised pain, yet it stubbornly pondered and rehearsed the next scene's rehearsal process.

"etc."

"What's going on with you?"

Su Ming shouted immediately.

The cursed doll tilted its head, looking at him with a pained and confused expression, its voice as cold as an empty AI mechanical voice.

"You made me do it."

This answer was unexpected.

Hasn't she already recovered?

Su Ming quickly opened the favorability page.

It can be clearly seen that the cursed doll's favorability has been upgraded to recovery.

So what's going on here?

Su Ming was genuinely puzzled.

He had seen many strange things, but he had never seen anything so unusual.

Judging from the expression on the cursed doll's face.

Rehearsing this play was very painful for her, but she still chose to follow Su Ming's arrangements.

"Wait a moment."

"I was just joking with you before, I didn't actually ask you to rehearse."

Upon hearing this, the cursed doll simply said "Oh".

next second.

All the puppets performing in the audience collapsed to the ground in unison, instantly losing their lively state and reverting to ordinary puppets.

Judging from the way the doll fell to the ground, she was really unwilling.

Since there's no more rehearsal...

The cursed doll sat blankly on the ground, silent and unresponsive.

Even though a faint light had appeared in her eyes, she had almost no independent consciousness.

All the actions seem to require external instructions to drive them.

Su Ming stared at her thoughtfully.

Then, he suddenly activated the Grand View, and a burst of white light erupted.

With a whoosh.

The white light pierced straight through the cursed doll's body, creating a clear hole.

The cursed doll sat on the ground, showing no reaction whatsoever.

After her recovery, even her instinctive protective mechanisms failed.

So Su Ming continued to try.

"I now order you to increase your favorability rating by one point."

[Affection +1, Current (Cursed Doll): Awakening (1/200)]

"Increases favorability by 10 points."

[Affection +10, Current (Cursed Doll): Awakening (11/200)]

strangeness.

That's really strange.

She's like a robot that can only understand instructions.

She won't react unless you give her a command, even if she's in danger.

But once she receives an order, even if it's a play she strongly dislikes, she will grit her teeth and rehearse it.

The only time I lost control of my emotions was...

Correct.

She experienced strong emotional fluctuations when Su Ming was not in the doll room.

At that time, she was covering her head and roaring after hearing Su Ming's explosive plot.

This shows that she possesses a complete capacity for emotional perception.

However, their self-awareness is constrained, and they can only reveal their true nature when no one is observing or giving them instructions.

With that thought in mind, Su Ming quietly left the dollhouse.

He returned to reality and opened the scene page.

As you can see, after I left, the cursed doll sat there for a while.

He then slowly got up and put the scattered dolls back in their places, arranging them neatly.

After doing all this, she tore off the character name tags from the back of the doll, then ripped them to shreds and even stomped on them a few times.

Anger, resentment, and conflict—these intense emotions are expressed directly and are a powerful self-reaction.

So, Su Ming immediately went into the doll room.

The moment he entered, the cursed doll froze, its movements abruptly ceasing, returning to its lifeless, silent state devoid of any independent consciousness.
