Oh no! I'm surrounded by female ghosts!

Chen Zhiwei bit her finger.

She slowly swept her gaze across the people in the room, a deep sorrow hidden in her eyes.

Everyone was afraid of Su Ming at this moment.

The deep-seated oppression was suffocating everyone.

Zhou Zhengyang was pale and stiff as he struggled to arrange for the evacuation of residents near Lanyue Community. Every movement he made revealed his extreme panic.

Xu Qinghe lowered her head and obediently ate the snacks Su Ming brought back.

She appeared quiet and obedient, but only she knew that the fear in her heart had already overwhelmed her and almost completely consumed her.

Why the fear? Chen Zhiwei didn't ask, and neither did anyone else.

You won't know unless you ask.

There is no greater sense of self-deception and security in the world than this.

If you don't ask, you won't get an answer.

If you don't know, then it's not the end.

Cheng Yao forced a smile, her muscles tense to the extreme, and carefully curled up in the bird's nest made of blood and flesh.

"Your Majesty, this nest... is so comfortable."

"You're amazing!"

Her voice was trembling uncontrollably, and the faint sounds couldn't be concealed.

At this point, the fact that he could still force himself to speak and manage a smile is already quite impressive.

Yu Mengnian stood aside, coldly watching Su Ming, a hint of helplessness and pain surging in her otherwise calm eyes.

She didn't know what to do or what she could do.

All she knew was that she felt a strange and chaotic mix of emotions.

She couldn't tell whether it was sadness or pain.

Chen Zhiwei took in the reactions of everyone in the room, and a compassionate smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.

She suddenly felt immense sympathy for Su Ming.

In this world, no one has ever truly loved him as he was.

The everyday life of 2019 could not contain his soul, which wandered outside of time and rules.

He was the most out-of-place oddball in the world.

He is a lone traveler, wandering alone, with no one to accompany him.

He came alone, and he left alone.

Even his parents and family now only love him as a child.

Su Ming's body began to sway again.

His newfound understanding clashed even more fiercely with his memories of being human.

That sense of disconnection, confusion, and emptiness was constantly gnawing at his consciousness.

This can't go on any longer.

Chen Zhiwei called out, "Go find Tang Tang."

"Tangtang can stabilize his current memory and cognition."

"As long as his memory still contains the image of a flesh-and-blood person, it will not completely collapse."

The words were spoken.

Yu Mengnian's body swayed and vanished in an instant.

Zhou Zhengyang turned around and immediately ran towards the door: "I'll contact Tangtang."

He was afraid that Yu Mengnian wouldn't be able to explain it clearly, so he brought Tangtang over rashly.

He feared that if Tang Tang saw Su Ming's current manic and bizarre state, all her love would be crushed by fear and collapse.

If even Tangtang's love has vanished.

Then there will be no one in this world who will love Su Ming.

Yu Mengnian was extremely fast.

Just a few minutes later, she arrived at Lanyue Community carrying Tangtang, her face filled with fear and anxiety.

What Tangtang feared was this strange woman who suddenly appeared and then took her away without saying a word.

It was as if she had suddenly taken Su Ming away.

After that, she tried to contact Su Ming, but he didn't respond at all.

"Dream Bureau, Dream Bureau, wait a minute."

Zhou Zhengyang stopped Yu Mengnian and shouted, "Don't take her to see the King yet!"

"She is still unaware of the King's condition."

After thinking for half a second, Yu Mengnian released Tangtang.

Zhou Zhengyang quickly walked up to Tang Tang and reassured her, "Don't be afraid, we mean no harm."

"The king I'm referring to is Su Ming."

Upon hearing Su Ming's name, Tang Tang abruptly tilted her head back, her face filled with urgency and unease: "What happened to Su Ming?"

Zhou Zhengyang sighed heavily.

"Don't worry, His Majesty just encountered some unexpected problems."

"Let me tell you."

He began to tell the story of Su Ming from the beginning.

Although everyone had previously decided that they could not become the first layer of Tangtang's network.

But now they have no other choice.

Plans and accidents—no one knows which will come first.

After hearing Zhou Zhengyang's story, Tang Tang was completely stunned.

2003 years, 2012 years, 2019 years, 2026 years.

Across time, the unknown, the awakened, the eerie, the Anomaly Management Bureau…

The overwhelming amount of information that challenged her understanding of the world was wildly impacting Tangtang's values, leaving her at a loss for what to do.

She tried her best to understand and digest it.

But after much deliberation, only one clear thought remained in her mind: Su Ming was in trouble.

In order to see something, he used an ability with terrible side effects, which caused a huge change in his cognition.

She pursed her lips and glared fiercely at Zhou Zhengyang.

Those clear, black and white eyes were filled with intense anger and sorrow.

Zhou Zhengyang dared not look directly at him and awkwardly turned his head away.

Even the usually composed Yu Mengnian turned her head away, for the first time unable to look an ordinary girl in the eye.

Tang Tang didn't say anything.

But she seemed to have said everything.

That was a question, the most turbulent silent question.

They questioned them, asking why Su Ming had become like this.

Everyone knows why.

But everyone is afraid.

"Tangtang, the...the Great King is inside."

Zhou Zhengyang stammered, his eyes darting around nervously.

At this moment, the pressure Tang Tang brought him was actually greater than that of Su Ming in his manic state.

She was never an ordinary girl.

She is his wife.

My destined wife, the only one by fate, my eternal favor, a lifetime at first sight.

That was true in the past, that is true now, and that will be true in the future.

Push the door open.

Tang Tang stepped inside.

Yu Mengnian noticed it in just one step.

It is not a spatial fluctuation.

Instead, Tang Tang's aura changed.

With one step, she entered the realm of the Awakened.

They stepped into the unknown world that Su Ming had mentioned.

inside the house.

Everyone instinctively avoided Tang Tang's gaze.

The moment Xu Qinghe looked up, she quickly looked down again.

The moment Cheng Yao saw Tang Tang, she chose to remain silent.

Even Chen Zhiwei quietly turned her head away.

I had a lot to tell Tangtang.

But when she actually met Tang Tang, she couldn't bring herself to say it.

These are top talents, worldly-wise shrewd individuals, and calm and wise sages.

At this moment, they were all pinned down by an "ordinary girl" and dared not move an inch.

Tang Tang remained silent as well.

She ignored everyone else in the room, her eyes only fixed on Su Ming inside.

Su Ming is building his second "nest".

It was a "nest" made up of countless piles of flesh and blood, scarlet and terrifying, a shocking sight.

The boy was covered in blood.

His fingertips, clothes, and cheeks were stained with bits of flesh and blood.

His appearance was bizarre and manic, yet his eyes shone with a radiant smile.

Extreme contradictions, extreme fragmentation.

Perhaps this is what it means when the heart dies amidst brilliance.

He's crazy, or maybe he isn't.

But in this world, no one understands him anymore.

"Su Ming~"

A sweet and soft voice suddenly rang out.

Clean, gentle, without a trace of fear, without the slightest pretense.

It was just an ordinary call.

Su Ming, who was building his nest, suddenly trembled and turned around abruptly. His empty gaze instantly flashed with a bright light.

That light, like an eternal spark piercing the long night, instantly filled his desolate soul.

Everyone inside held their breath, their hearts trembling.

A simple, ordinary call shattered all the eeriness and madness.

It turns out... it's really that simple.

"Tangtang, what brings you here?"

Su Ming's voice was gentle.

Tangtang ran and threw herself into his blood-stained arms, wrapping her arms tightly around his waist and pressing her cheek against his chest.

"I miss you."

In short, just four words, simple and unremarkable.

But it made Su Ming's body tremble slightly.

At this moment, the collapsing cognition and fragmented human memory suddenly overlap and merge.

Then, a person with flesh and blood appeared.

Even if all the other flesh-and-blood people disappear, she will still exist.

The memories on the verge of shattering instantly stopped collapsing, and were forcibly pieced together, reshaped, and stabilized along with Tang Tang's figure.

Ultimately, a stable memory consisting only of "Tangtang" was formed.

In Su Ming's eyes.

He saw Tangtang.

"Tangtang" (a type of sugar).

He held Tangtang tightly, his voice trembling with the joy of finding her again: "How did you find me?"

"When I woke up, I found that everyone had disappeared."

"The whole world became desolate, skyscrapers were swallowed up by greenery, and streets were overgrown with weeds. I thought... you were all gone."

He took Tangtang's hand and began to tell her what he had seen.

In Su Ming's eyes.

When he first arrived in 2019, the world was still normal, and the apocalypse had not occurred.

But his memory abruptly broke down after he and Tangtang finished their meal.

When I regained consciousness, all things were empty and the world was desolate.

His expression was extremely solemn: "It must be their doing."

"But don't worry, I have a way." He patted his chest proudly.

Suddenly his chest was wet, and a lot of water splashed onto Tangtang's face.

Su Ming cursed under his breath, "The humidity is too high."

"These planks have been soaked in water for too long; we'll have to move them out into the sun to dry later."

"Look, what do you think of the nest I built?"

He quickly shook off his earlier seriousness, pointed to the cat's nest, and his eyes showed a hint of smugness.

Su Ming only briefly mentioned the doomsday scenario of 2019; he didn't want Tang Tang to be scared.

Because everything is thanks to him.

"Wow, it looks so nice!" Tang Tang hugged Su Ming's arm and asked curiously, "But why did you build a cat bed?"

Su Ming ruffled Tang Tang's hair and pointed to the first cat bed, saying, "Look at that little kitten, its name is Yao'er."

"It's very well-behaved and loves to be pampered. It especially loves the little house I built for it."

Su Ming patted Yao'er's head: "Listen."

Yao'er made a soft, sweet "meow meow meow" sound and rubbed her head against his palm.

Tangtang also squatted down next to Yao'er, imitating Su Ming, and gently stroked its head.

"And that cat."

Su Ming pointed to the living room door and joked with a smile.

"That cat is super cute, but it's a bit mischievous. Be careful, it might even scratch me if it gets angry."

"Mengnian, come here."

He called out several times, but Mengnian didn't come over; she just stared at him quietly.

Su Ming touched the tip of his nose, slightly embarrassed: "He's cute, but he's too aloof."

"You should understand, they're cats."

Then he pointed to the kitten that was eating and said, "Look at this one, it's the best-behaved and most sensible, quiet and never makes a fuss, its name is Qinghe."

Tangtang nodded: "Mhm."

During their conversation, Su Ming frowned slightly, stood up, and said, "Wait for me a moment, I'll tidy up the room."

"This house was bought for me by my parents many years ago."

"We haven't added any furniture since the renovation was finished. There's a lot of construction waste piled up, and it's also been flooded. It's a complete mess."

He took a step forward to tidy up, but Tang Tang quickly stepped forward to stop him: "Let me tidy up."

Su Ming chuckled and poked Tang Tang's head: "It's very heavy."

"These things have all been soaked in water..."

Tang Tang said earnestly, "It's okay, I can do it."

Soon, Tangtang finished cleaning up the trash in the room and threw it at the door.

Su Ming tried to help several times, but Tang Tang firmly refused.

After Tang Tang finished tidying up, Su Ming took her hand and said, "Come on, let's go out and get something to eat."

"You should have noticed by now."

"All of humanity has disappeared, but the goods in the shops and supermarkets on the street are all intact."

It's a bit strange.

But I can understand.

After all, all sorts of strange and absurd things can happen when facing them.

Leaving the three kittens at home and locking the door, Su Ming walked with Tang Tang through the empty city streets.

Occasionally he would pick a few pretty wildflowers or collect a few pieces of furniture that looked decent.

They euphemistically called it "moving some furniture back home."

But every time this happens, Tangtang shakes her head and says, "It doesn't look good. I don't think it suits our home's style."

"Why don't you let me choose?"

After thinking for a moment, Su Ming nodded and agreed to Tang Tang's request.

After Tang Tang finished selecting the furniture, Su Ming began to work.

He took a lot of things, all of which were chosen by Tangtang.

The little girl chattered excitedly next to Su Ming about the future, her eyes full of anticipation.

Suddenly, she stopped and looked up at Su Ming.

"Su Ming, does your previous marriage proposal still count?"

Su Ming was taken aback for a moment, then immediately nodded: "Okay."

"But," he looked around at the empty, desolate streets, his tone tinged with regret, "now that everyone's gone, there's not even a wedding witness. It's just too desolate."

Tang Tang smiled and said, "It's okay."

"If you're willing, we can have a wedding that's just for the two of us."

"Let's hold it at the Lychee Hotel, just you and me, what do you say?"

Su Ming was conflicted, feeling that a wedding was a once-in-a-lifetime event and shouldn't be so simple.

He had intended to invite everyone to witness it, especially all of Tangtang's family and friends, as he had promised Tangtang.

"What's wrong with it?" Tang Tang gently shook his arm. "I think it's great."

"You don't need to worry about the wedding."

She proudly patted her chest: "I'm fully responsible for all the wedding arrangements."

"Don't underestimate me, I studied interior design in college!"

Su Ming felt a warm feeling in his heart, but also a little bittersweet.

He gently brushed Tangtang's nose: "Okay, whatever you say."

A gentle breeze rustled through the leaves of the sycamore trees, scattering sunlight like shards of gold across the ground, seemingly isolating the world from all desolation.

Under the witness of the empty city, the ruins everywhere, and the lush vegetation.

A wedding without a full house of guests, without the commotion of gongs and drums, and without the blessings of the world was set for September 9, 2019.
