Oh no! I'm surrounded by female ghosts!

The first layer of the abyss.

Su Ming sat on a towering ghost mountain, legs crossed, making a phone call.

The ghosts beneath his buttocks piled up one after another, but each one kept its mouth tightly shut, not daring to utter a sound.

"Old Zhou, have you found it yet?"

"Okay, send the information to my phone."

Su Ming asked Zhou Zhengyang to investigate the Mirror Ghost.

That was a mirror-like strange object that Wen Qi ate a long time ago.

At that moment, a blurry human figure appeared deep within the mirror.

Su Ming drew this figure.

Although the mirror caused the appearance to be fragmented and the outline to be incomplete.

It has been successfully restored through official means.

Sure enough, after Zhou Zhengyang finished his investigation, he immediately called Su Ming.

"I?"

"I'm on the first level of the abyss now. Didn't I post about it on WeChat Moments yesterday?"

Zhou Zhengyang, on the other end of the phone, twitched his lips violently a few times.

Open Su Ming's WeChat Moments.

[On the first day of unleashing my full power on the first level of the abyss, I've made some progress.]

Below is a nine-grid photo collage, all of which are photos of him posing with various eerie figures.

Next item.

[The second day of unleashing my full power on the first level of the Abyss: basic gameplay]

Below is still a nine-grid photo.

The bizarre scenes he filmed with Su Ming were so bizarre that even Zhou Zhengyang felt a pang of sadness.

It's not really Su Ming's fault.

Compared to the eeriness of the first level of the abyss, the creatures in the doomsday scenario are simply adorable.

If we can't beat them, can't we at least beat them?

Of course.

The main purpose is to collect decorations and new fixed scenes.

Wen Qi's level 4 scene requires material upgrades.

Once Shen Wanyu reaches the Destruction level, her Level 3 scenario will also need to be upgraded.

There are also scenes involving Tangtang (a type of sugar).

And this is the best place to gather materials.

"Your Majesty, please be careful and don't lose yourself in the power."

"Power can completely change a person."

"How many powerful figures..."

Su Ming quickly shouted, "Stop, stop, stop!"

"Old Zhou, don't worry about this. I know what I'm doing."

After saying that, Su Ming let out a deep sigh.

Without them, I might have truly been lost to their power and become a superman who doesn't eat beef.

But against them, this power is completely inadequate.

The world's giant baby has absolutely no chance of being defeated.

The Time Insect is impossible to find, let alone kill.

Faced with them, Su Ming would only feel powerless; how could he possibly become arrogant?

Rubbing his throbbing temples, Su Ming said with a hint of distress, "Old Zhou, I have a question for you."

"I have a friend who has severe autism and has shut herself off completely."

"She does whatever I say, she has no self-awareness at all, just like a puppet on a string."

This friend, of course, refers to the cursed doll Xu Qinghe.

Although Su Ming restored her to human form, he wanted her to think carefully about what she truly wanted.

Even now, Xu Qinghe remains taciturn, like a lifeless puppet, never revealing a trace of herself.

Su Ming didn't want to order her to increase her favorability rating directly.

"Well, well." Zhou Zhengyang on the other end of the phone pondered for a long time: "Your Majesty, I don't know much about psychology and mental health."

"However, I can recommend someone to you."

"This is Bai Xinglan, the leader of your personal medical team."

"She is one of the best psychologists in China, specializing in all kinds of extreme psychological trauma and mental disorders."

"You've definitely made the right choice by consulting her."

Su Ming slapped his thigh.

Damn, it's really dark right now.

He actually forgot about this expert.

"Okay, okay, I got it."

He hung up the phone hastily.

After throwing all the ghosts under his butt into the game scene, Su Ming patted his clothes and shouted, "School beauty sister, Tang Tang, let's go back to the base."

Bai Xinglan is at the Abyss Base.

As Su Ming's dedicated medical team, they are wherever Su Ming is; that's what professionalism is all about.

Once aboard the hearse, the ghost driver skillfully set off for the Abyss Base.

The hearse was a mode of transportation that Su Ming specifically arranged.

It requires no refueling, consumes no electricity, and only uses one pound of ghost blood per 100 kilometers, making it far more cost-effective than ordinary vehicles and ideal for environments like the Abyss.

After settling in, Su Ming opened the compressed file sent by Zhou Zhengyang.

Wen Qi and Tang Tang also curiously came over and looked at the screen together.

At the top of the screen, two words are clearly visible: Cheng Yao.

"Cheng Yao." Su Ming looked at the name on the file.

He recognized the name.

Please read the following information carefully.

Cheng Yao, born in 2000, is a rising star actress with considerable talent and a high profile in niche art and literature circles.

With her clean, clear, and highly spiritual screen image, she has won over many viewers.

Her acting skills are widely recognized by industry leaders, and she is a well-known rising star in the industry.

Until 2020, he was maliciously splashed with sulfuric acid, resulting in extensive and deep burns to his face, which completely disfigured him.

She subsequently underwent several skin grafting repair surgeries.

Despite countless efforts in terms of manpower and resources, it is still impossible to restore it to its original state.

So in 2023, she chose to commit suicide by cutting her wrists, ending her short life.

The document is accompanied by a striking photo.

Before her disfigurement, Cheng Yao possessed top-tier physical features and bone structure.

With gentle eyes and a versatile temperament, she can handle a variety of screen styles, including pure, gentle, aloof, and glamorous.

The photos of her disfigured face are shocking.

Half of his face was ulcerated and twisted, nearly half of his nose had melted away, and his facial features were missing and deformed.

Even after multiple repairs and skin grafts, it remains grotesque and terrifying, making it difficult to look directly at.

The visual difference between the two is so great that they look like completely different people.

The document provides a detailed analysis of Cheng Yao's motives for suicide.

She is an extreme perfectionist with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, especially in the entertainment industry, where she is known for being meticulous and stubborn.

The reason he chose to commit suicide three years after his disfigurement was not because he couldn't accept the situation, but because he was lying low gathering evidence and planning step by step.

Over the past three years, she has been quietly collecting all the clues about the sulfuric acid attack that year, and has been able to identify the mastermind behind it one by one.

Only after killing all the masterminds and avenging his great grudge did he choose to commit suicide by cutting his wrists.

After reviewing Cheng Yao's information, Su Ming looked at Wen Qi and Tang Tang: "She's quite a ruthless woman."

"I even suspect that she chose to commit suicide so that she could become a ghost and kill them again."

"Look, who's committing suicide wearing red?"

The last photo is of Cheng Yao's dead face.

That red dress was too eye-catching.

This is clearly an attempt to become a vengeful ghost.

But Su Ming wasn't sure if she was the real-life inspiration for the girl in the mirror.

However, based on the comparison of the severely decayed half of the girl's face in the mirror, there is indeed some resemblance.

"2023."

Su Ming handed the phone to Wen Qi.

He remembered.

There was indeed a news report back then about a well-known actress committing suicide.

This news briefly caused a sensation across the internet, but after the hype died down, it was completely forgotten and returned to normal.

At this moment, the hearse had arrived at the entrance of the Abyss Base.

Upon entering the Abyss Base, Bai Xinglan immediately led her team forward to conduct a comprehensive examination of Su Ming.

According to Zhou Zhengyang, Su Ming's memory became confused after returning from the Abyss last time, and he actually remembered the Rose Hotel as the Lychee Hotel.

But as soon as Su Ming reached the door of the testing room, he encountered an unexpected figure.

Lin Hwai-min.

He just arrived at the first level of the abyss today.

Upon meeting, the two simultaneously took a half-step back, their expressions wary, creating a subtle atmosphere.

Elder Lin spoke first: "Your Majesty, I will be stationed at the Abyss Base from now on, and will be in charge of all affairs here."

"New Five Awakened Ones have been sent to guard the capital."

Su Ming was aware of this.

Since the world update, those who have awakened the five senses are no longer the ceiling.

Therefore, the difficulty of advancing to the fifth level of awakening has been greatly reduced.

Three new Five Awakeners have emerged in the Dragon Kingdom.

One of them was Gu Shen, who was stationed in Pingjiang City.

With the addition of Bai Bin and Elder Lin, Dragon Kingdom now has five individuals who have awakened to the fifth level of consciousness.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

The two never got close; they exchanged a few words from a distance before hurriedly leaving.

Old Lin was afraid that if he spent too much time with Su Ming, his mental health would suffer again.

Su Ming could not look directly at Elder Lin.

Every time I see him, I can't help but think of Mr. Lin in 1996, heavily made up.

Anyway.

For the first time, he truly understood what it meant to be unable to look directly at something.

In some ways, the impact that Elder Lin had on Su Ming was even stronger than that of them.

Entering the testing room.

While Bai Xinglan was examining his body, Su Ming took the initiative to ask, "Dr. Bai, I'd like to ask you a question."

Bai Xinglan nodded: "Your Majesty, please ask."

Su Ming paused for a moment before speaking: "I have a friend."

"She has severe autism."

He explained Xu Qinghe's problem and his own deductions to Bai Xinglan in detail.

After listening, Bai Xinglan said with a serious expression, "Your Majesty, your friend's condition is very serious."

"Based on my initial assessment."

"She not only has severe autism, but also severe depression."

"Long-term self-isolation and repression severely damage the foundation of the nervous and emotional system, and may even be accompanied by obvious post-traumatic stress disorder, resulting in a strong sense of vigilance and rejection towards all people and environments in the outside world."

That's why they shut themselves off and refuse to have any contact with the outside world.

Su Ming gave a thumbs up, "As expected of a professional."

"Then, Dr. Bai, is there any hope for my friend?" he asked hurriedly.

After a few seconds of silence, Bai Xinglan said, "The first thing to do is..."

"First, take her completely away from her original living environment."

"She has become accustomed to passively accepting and complying, and has lost the ability to express herself and think for herself."

"You can't wait for her to change on her own; you have to take the initiative to guide her."

"When necessary, targeted and forceful intervention is needed to break her rigid closed-off state; otherwise, she will be trapped in her self-imposed prison forever, unable to break free."

Su Ming suddenly realized.

No wonder the cursed doll hasn't made a move yet.

"Oh, right, right." Su Ming suddenly remembered something: "Dr. Bai, how old are you this year?"

Bai Xinglan responded, "31 years old."

She really looks young, like she's in her early twenties.

Su Ming did some quick calculations.

Great, she appears in the doomsday timeline from 1996 to 2026.

Xu Qinghe isn't the only one whose character development has issues; Lin Jiajia is another example.

Next time there's an apocalypse, bring Bai Xinglan along to serve as the team's professional spiritual advisor.
