Oh no! I'm surrounded by female ghosts!

Yanlang City, Shen Family Compound.

Yu Mengnian, Chen Zhiwei, Tang Tang, Xu Qinghe, Lin Jiajia, and Zhou Zhengyang reunited once again.

Their expressions were all very serious.

His gaze kept drifting out the window.

Outside the window, the setting sun casts a golden glow, its afterglow spreading across the sky and painting half the heavens in a magnificent and dreamlike hue, like a scene from a glorious twilight era.

But everyone knows it.

In this seemingly gentle sky, countless apocalypses are being staged in turn in the past.

The apocalypse did not originate in the future.

The apocalypse was born in the past.

This kind of apocalypse is far beyond their comprehension.

Su Ming has not returned yet.

He is still traveling through the old Blue Star, trying to delay Shen Wanyu's memories of death.

And Shen Wanyu.

He is currently lying in the intensive care unit, being cared for by the top medical team in China.

But everyone knew that medical treatment could only sustain her life.

What truly dragged her into the abyss was her crumbling mental world.

With current medical technology, there is no way to alleviate even the slightest discomfort, let alone treat it.

The only thing the medical team could confirm was that she was still alive.

Inside the room, Zhou Zhengyang was on the phone the whole time.

A lion-like roar erupted repeatedly inside the locked room, accompanied by loud bangs as the table was slammed.

Much later.

Zhou Zhengyang dragged his tired body out.

He first shook his head: "I checked, and I didn't find any problems."

"Some of the people who spread the rumor that 2012 was the end of the world did so for publicity, while others had mental problems."

"They don't understand the Mayan civilization; they're mostly just following the crowd and spreading misinformation."

"As you all know, a movie from 2012 was recently released, and many people are promoting it."

"However, quite a few ordinary people have reported that they have been feeling inexplicably uneasy, experiencing frequent hallucinations, or having recurring nightmares related to the end of the world recently."

Zhou Zhengyang just made the call to ascertain the current situation on Blue Star and to investigate the source of the 2012 doomsday rumors.

Chen Zhiwei flipped through a few pages of the documents Zhou Zhengyang handed her, shook her head, and said, "Some humans do indeed possess extremely strong intuition."

"A very small number of people can even sense disasters in advance."

"But these fragmented perceptions are hard to distinguish between true and false, and there is no way to verify them."

She tossed the documents onto the table and turned to look at Lin Jiajia.

"You should have heard what Yu Mengnian said before."

"The Time Bug was named and defined by you."

Lin Jiajia lowered her head and whispered, "Wait...wait for Su Ming to come back."

"I...I have a few questions to ask."

Chen Zhiwei's gaze fell on Tang Tang, who was holding a teddy bear, and then looked at Xu Qinghe, who was sitting upright.

With a sigh, she couldn't help but think of Wen Qi, whom Su Ming had mentioned.

If Wenqi were here.

What will she do?

How can we bring the insect of time closer to the form of humans?

Chen Zhiwei quickly dismissed the idea.

The doomsday in 2003 was completely different from the doomsday in 2012.

The Time Insect observes humanity from a higher perspective.

It will not become human.

There is no need to become human.

The fact that the world's giant babies chose to descend into the form closest to humans was mostly because they were persuaded by Wen Qi.

Just like in a fairy tale, the little spider coaxes the black stone to move the big rock.

And this is the biggest difference between the two.

Wen Qi was able to communicate directly with the world's giant babies at that time.

But none of them could communicate with the Time Worm.

Let alone communication.

I can't even see it.

It's like punching cotton, utterly powerless.

"Let me first sort out the information we have now."

With Shen Wanyu absent and Lin Jiajia waiting for Su Ming, Chen Zhiwei had to temporarily take on the main responsibility.

"The Time Insect observed the Blue Star three times in total."

"These three observations were for determining the candidates, building the fish tank, and conducting the formal observations."

"We are now in the formal observation period."

"Shen Wanyu is its only observation subject."

She glanced at Yu Mengnian and continued, "Niannian said that during the second observation, she felt like she had turned into a series of paintings."

"Su Ming possesses a forbidden knowledge called the 'lower-level blind spot,' and he once personally entered Shen Wanyu's life."

"The only certainty is that her life was sliced ​​up and then carried by different periods of Earth."

"As for the problem, Su Ming did not discover it."

"And this knowledge of his has terrifying side effects, so..."

She paused briefly and looked at Yu Mengnian again.

Yu Mengnian uttered two words: "Banned."

"Okay." Chen Zhiwei nodded: "His ability is disabled."

"Based on this information, let's make a simple guess as to what the end of the world might be in 2012."

She picked up a pen and drew many circles on the paper.

Each circle represents a former blue star.

Each little figure in the circle represents Shen Wanyu.

When each little person disappears, the circle also disappears.

"Before speculating on the end of the world, we must first understand what the Time Worm wants to observe."

In other words, what exactly does it want to know about us?

"According to what Su Ming said at the manor before."

Chen Zhiwei pointed to her head: "Our imagination and emotions are things they cannot understand, and things they are most curious about."

I think so.

"Before our thinking is influenced by the pollutants, they cannot understand it either."

"Therefore, the first thing that is affected is our way of thinking."

"Thoughts determine ideas, and thus perceptions."

At this point, Chen Zhiwei had an extremely wild guess.

"They are trying to understand our thinking, but actually..."

Lin Jiajia suddenly spoke, uttering two weighty words: "Dimensional Ascension."

"right."

Chen Zhiwei nodded vigorously: "It's dimensional ascension."

"We humans call it pollution, and believe that those affected by the pollution have gone mad and undergone terrifying mutations."

"But in reality, it is an elevation of the essence of life."

"Yes." Her eyes grew brighter as she spoke: "It's because we humans can't bear it ourselves that we experience mental distortion, physical deformities, and mental breakdowns."

"In the simplest terms..."

"Since we cannot understand humanity, let's choose to ascend to a higher dimension and reach their level."

"Then, this human will explain and answer these questions."

She was shocked when she said this.

Many ideas suddenly come to mind while we're talking.

"So," she said, her gaze sweeping over everyone present, uttering a chilling conclusion, "Shen Wanyu is ascending to a higher dimension."

"He wants to transform Shen Wanyu into them."

"It doesn't affect the physical body, but rather directly the mind."

"Spiritual ascension."

At this moment, Zhou Zhengyang weakly interjected, appearing quite humble.

He said, "Dr. Chen, why don't we have Su Ming kill Shen Wanyu directly?"

"Anyway, this doomsday scenario will disappear after Shen Wanyu dies."

"No." Chen Zhiwei and Lin Jiajia turned to stare at Zhou Zhengyang at the same time.

Zhou Zhengyang was so frightened that he quickly shrank his neck.

One moment of speaking out led to a lifetime of introversion.

I am indeed unworthy to eat at this table; I am only fit to pick up scraps in the corner and then try to digest them myself.

As for whether it's poisoning or indigestion, you can't blame the food.

It's all his fault; his constitution isn't good.

"What He wants is for Shen Wanyu to die," Chen Zhiwei and Lin Jiajia said in unison.

"For Him, ordinary death meant nothing."

Lin Jiajia, now a bit bolder, took over the conversation, her voice clearer: "It's not random."

"It's the success rate."

"That's right." Chen Zhiwei nodded emphatically.

She figured it out.

"The choice of Shen Wanyu by the Time Worm is not random, but rather because she has the highest success rate in ascending to a higher dimension."

Zhou Zhengyang didn't want to talk.

But looking at Chen Zhiwei's encouraging eyes...

He mustered his courage and asked, "What if she fails to ascend to a higher dimension?"

Chen Zhiwei's eyes shone with an astonishing brightness.

"This is the origin of the 2012 doomsday prophecy."

"Shen Wanyu's attempt to ascend to a higher dimension is destined to fail."

"Because Su Ming has appeared, he won't let Shen Wanyu succeed in ascending to a higher dimension."

"Shen Wanyu's exact date of death is December 21st."

"Next."

"The Time Worm will abandon the idea of ​​individual dimensional ascension."

"It will choose to allow all of humanity to undergo spiritual ascension simultaneously."

"Use quantity to build up success rate."

"In other words," Chen Zhiwei took a deep breath, "after December 21st, what Shen Wanyu is experiencing now, everyone in the world will experience at the same time."

"Endless memories of the apocalypse and countless recollections of death will simultaneously flood the minds of every human being."

As soon as the words were spoken, the temperature inside the room plummeted.

Even Yu Mengnian's eyes showed a rare despair.

Unable to resist.

They can only passively endure it.

But who can withstand it?

Even Yu Mengnian, who possesses absolute self-confidence, could not withstand it.

Not to mention ordinary people.

They will be instantly overwhelmed and torn apart by the memory of death.

Shen Wanyu has managed to persevere until now.

It was a miracle in itself.

A miracle that can never be replicated.

Her temperament, ingrained from childhood, her extremely obsessive focus, and the fact that Su Ming was still buying time for her on the old Blue Star.

That's why she's been able to hold on until now, and that's all she's managed to do.

What doomsday?

The apocalypse of 2012?

Using the memories of countless deaths from the past, he killed everyone.

Even Zhou Zhengyang swore at this moment: "Damn, who the hell can withstand this?"

"Damn it, you time bug."

"Isn't He worried that all of humanity will fail to ascend to a higher dimension?"

Chen Zhiwei crushed all of Zhou Zhengyang's subsequent words with a cold remark.

She said, "If we fail, we fail."

"Humanity will be completely wiped out."

"It only adds another unsolved mystery to the world."

"And how many unsolved mysteries are there in this world?"

This is a rhetorical question.

The cruelty almost froze time.

It turns out that the Time Insects harbor no ill will towards humans.

Just out of curiosity.

I'd like to know.

It would be best if you could understand.

If you can't understand it, then forget about it.

It is this most indifferent apathy that is most terrifying.

Because, with just a moment of curiosity, it brought humanity one of the most intractable apocalypses to date.

"Let's name it." Chen Zhiwei turned her gaze to Lin Jiajia.

This is a habit of researchers, and it's also the final conclusion.

After a long period of contemplation, Lin Jiajia spoke softly, deciding on a final name for this apocalypse that transcends time: "Dimensional Observation, is that alright?"

Chen Zhiwei nodded.

Take out a new notebook and write in it.

[2012: Dimensional Observation]

Our memories are killing us.

On November 23, 2012, we died in the past.

On December 21, 2012, humanity will cease to exist.

Chen Zhiwei turned to look at the setting sun as it gradually disappeared, and a bitter smile appeared on her face.

Record complete.

He combined the manuscript and began to write.

All human observation of the Time Insects has come to an end.
