Oh no! I'm surrounded by female ghosts!

"weight!"

Su Ming subconsciously stomped his foot on the ground.

He knew that this weight was not physical weight.

It is a reduction in the spacetime of the world.

Space is the place where all things reside, and time is the foundation for the existence of all beings.

Their reduction indicates that cracks and deficiencies have appeared at the source.

Wen Qi placed his cold hand on the back of his hand and gently comforted him, "The current loss is not obvious."

"In 2003, there were just a few fewer people and one less school."

"The ripple effects of time restoration are not significant."

Su Ming knew that Heng'an Middle School had disappeared.

All the students in this school have been erased and stripped away from the real world, as if they had never existed.

At this moment, Su Ming thought of a chilling question.

He quickly asked, "What about the students' parents?"

Wen Qi said calmly, "Some are still alive, some are already dead."

"But none of them have children; they are all childless by choice."

Su Ming's pupils contracted, and a chill ran down his spine.

Did this idea come from them themselves, or was it imposed on them after being modified by time and light?

He prefers the latter.

In order to fill the time gap of 2003, the world did not hesitate to sever their lineage, just to bring the disordered timeline back to "normal".

But what truly terrified Su Ming was Wen Qi's statement: "There are only so many people."

"The dead have come back to life, and the living have died."

"And those that disappear will permanently decrease in number, and can never be recovered."

Su Ming opened his mouth, his voice a little hoarse, and cautiously asked, "Your parents?"

Wen Qi nodded: "They are still alive."

"But you've forgotten me forever."

There is no love or hate, no longing; it is not forgetting, but the illusion that Wen Qi never existed.

Su Ming then looked at Shen Wanyu.

Although her memory has not yet returned, Su Ming learned in 2003 that Shen Wanyu was the eldest daughter of the Shen family.

The Shen family still exists, but they have forever forgotten Shen Wanyu.

It shouldn't be said that I've forgotten.

Instead, all traces of Shen Wanyu in the real world disappeared and ceased to exist.

Needless to say, there's also the Tangtang (a type of sugary drink).

Her family, relatives, friends, and classmates were all at the Lychee Hotel.

In the real world, everything about her has disappeared.

At the same time, Tang Tang, who was still serving food to Su Ming, suddenly froze.

Why is everyone looking at me?

Su Ming gently patted her head with a touch of tenderness and asked softly, "Tang Tang, what are your thoughts?"

Tangtang's way of thinking is different from everyone else's.

Her answers often break free from conventional constraints and have unexpected effects.

This has been proven many times.

Tangtang let out an "Ah".

To be honest, she didn't understand and didn't really care.

However, she still tried hard to think, and after a long time, she weakly asked, "Is someone about to die?"

"If it dies, can I turn it into a ghost?"

Even Wen Qi's expression changed slightly at this answer.

They were constantly thinking about how to combat the sources of pollution.

Tangtang's new approach is that since they can't fight back, they should open their arms and choose to join in.

Global anomalies have led us to join the ranks of pollution sources.

This is somewhat similar to the world shutdown in 2003.

If the doomsday line of 2003 is not severed, it may seem like the end of humanity, but in reality it is the rebirth of a false human, the collapse of the old order and the birth of new rules.

"Is there anything else?" Wen Qi asked.

Tang Tang pondered for a long time before saying uncertainly, "Have a child for him."

Even if he dies, the child is his continuation.

She truly saw the world as a living, breathing being that could feel pain, die, and reproduce.

These two answers were indeed unexpected.

As for feasibility, judging from the furrowed brows of Wen Qi and Shen Wanyu, it's extremely difficult, even a pipe dream.

Finally, Su Ming broke the silence.

He began by saying, "Sister School Beauty, what are your plans for 2012?"

Two hours later, Heng'an Middle School successfully advanced to the Level 4 scenario.

Four days later, the tasks to increase Tang Tang's and Shen Wanyu's favorability will be completed simultaneously.

Su Ming chose to first increase Shen Wanyu's favorability.

Wen Qi was not there in 2012.

Wen Qi shook his head: "You shouldn't have asked me."

"Any arrangements made now will be useless for the unknown year of 2012, and will actually do more harm than good."

"Therefore, I will not give you any advice."

Su Ming stopped asking questions and began to focus on eating.

After finishing his meal, with Shen Wanyu's help, he began to compress his flesh and blood growth, and refine his own foundation.

Su Ming also discussed combat techniques with Shen Wanyu and Wen Qi.

There's no need to specifically learn combat skills.

Instead of learning other people's fighting techniques, it's better to use experience to create your own fighting style.

Wen Qi also pointed out Su Ming's greatest advantage.

To put it simply, it's powerful.

In the face of absolute power, any fighting techniques are merely fancy and ineffective.

The saying "one punch can break all techniques" illustrates this principle.

Su Ming is qualified.

The continuous compression and proliferation of flesh, coupled with the infinitely growing mental resilience, are enough to make Su Ming's physical strength limitless.

The only thing to be careful about is maintaining the complete human form.

The human form is the foundation of the anchor point.

The strength of an anchor point lies in its integration into the lives of ordinary people.

After we finish dealing with these matters.

Heng'an Middle School has completed its advancement.

[Ding! Heng'an Middle School has successfully been upgraded]

[Level 4 Scene: Heng'an Middle School (can be renamed)]

Upgrade progress: 0%

[Unlock: Large-scale scene decorations]

Su Ming had studied this large-scale object before.

The "large" here refers to a large-scale scene.

Only large-scale scenes of level four or above can support such unknown decorations.

The essence of this ornament does not belong to Earth, but comes from an unknown place; it is a personification of a source of pollution.

For example, the Twisted Echo he had previously unearthed in the first layer of the abyss.

Enter the Heng'an Middle School scene.

What appeared before Su Ming was no longer just a middle school.

The whole place exudes a sense of absurdity, desolation, and eeriness.

Clothing stores, hardware stores, and barbershops are crookedly stuck into the ground, piled up haphazardly without any order.

Residential areas, squares, and small parks are scattered haphazardly, piecing together fragmented and chaotic areas.

And those shopping malls and high-rise buildings that Su Ming had loaded and included, some were leaning, some were falling over.

It gives the feeling of a forgotten, abandoned world.

The only well-planned area is around Heng'an Middle School.

At least it looks fairly neat.

Wen Qi quietly appeared next to Su Ming. She seemed to understand Su Ming's thoughts and said with a smile, "This place is a forgotten world."

Su Ming then realized what was happening.

Wen Qi is right.

Anything that can be contained by the system will be erased from the real world.

Even the eeriness of this place has been erased and forgotten by the real world.

"Let's think of a new name for it."

"Heng'an Middle School is no longer suitable for it."

The scope of the Level 4 scenario is comparable to the entire Pingjiang City.

Looking at this broken and desolate world, Su Ming slowly asked, "What was the old world like?"

"The Old World of 2003".

Looking at Su Ming, who was smiling brightly beside her, Wen Qi asked softly, "Isn't the world too big?"

Su Ming shook his head: "Not big, not big at all."

"This is only a level four scenario now; there will be levels five, six, and seven later, and it will get bigger and bigger."

"Until one day," Su Ming said, opening his arms wide, his eyes burning, "it will be bigger than the entire Blue Star, much bigger."

"Because the things here don't just come from Earth."

"And you." Su Ming grasped Wen Qi's slender wrist, looking directly at her, pouring all his affection into her gaze: "My school beauty sister."

"Since reality has erased you, leaving you homeless and forgotten."

"Then this world is the gift I'm giving you."

"From this day forward, you will be the former ruler of this world, Wen Qi," Su Ming said, enunciating each word clearly.

The long-standing calm in Wen Qi's eyes was completely shattered.

She stood on tiptoe, opened her arms without hesitation, and hugged Su Ming tightly: "It doesn't sound good."

"It should be, the girl from the past, Wen Qi."

"Because she belongs only to you."

In an instant, her black hair rose up like a curtain.

In this forgotten old world, heat and cold intertwine, and death and life transform into the most primal, frenzied impulses.

【Ding! 】

Scene naming successful

[Level 4 Scene: 2003 - The Old World]

Upgrade progress: 0%

[Current Dominator: Wen Qi, the Girl from the Past]

After a long while, the black curtain disappeared like a tide.

Wen Qi nestled comfortably against Su Ming's chest, her eyes filled with ultimate satisfaction and longing.

It fills you up completely, from eating and drinking to using everything, both mentally and physically.

Su Ming was even more satisfied.

After a brief moment of tenderness between the human and the ghost, Wen Qi raised her hand: "I think..."

With a squeeze of her palm, the black soil rose from the ground, forming a towering peak.

With another wave of his hand, the earth cracked open, forming a ravine.

Su Ming smiled smugly.

"It's about control."

"I'm sharing control of this place with you."

"You can change this place as you please."

This gift is truly enormous.

Others give their girlfriends flowers and cosmetics.

They're really impressive; they'll even give you a car or a house.

Su Ming, on the other hand, directly gifted an old world.

"There's not much of a weirdness about it."

"But it's okay, I'll find some weird confinement sites, then throw them in and untie them."

"You can tell me what other buildings are needed."

"I'll go look for it."

Then, the black curtain rose again.

The revelry continues.

This is the ultimate carnival of the old world in 2003.
