Oh no! I'm surrounded by female ghosts!

After finishing lunch, Su Ming left.

He continued his journey in search of humanity.

After he left, Chen Zhiwei knocked on the door.

She was holding a thick stack of documents in her arms, which contained all the clues she had gathered over this period of time, as well as all the analytical conclusions she had drawn from repeated deductions.

Her first words upon entering were, "Tang Tang, can your awakened ability keep Su Ming pinned down indefinitely?"

Meeting Chen Zhiwei's serious gaze, Tang Tang nodded: "Okay."

She raised her hand.

A red thread slowly emerged from her wrist.

The other end of the red line connects to Su Ming.

"This is the relationship line."

Tang Tang explained, "I can form emotional bonds with anyone."

"This red thread is the love line between Su Ming and me."

"Apart from romantic relationships, all emotions can be transformed into threads to establish connections."

"For example, hatred."

As soon as he finished speaking, a black thread suddenly connected to Zhou Zhengyang's wrist.

Zhou Zhengyang trembled, and an overwhelming hatred surged in his heart without warning.

The hatred came suddenly and fiercely, and without any reason, it was directed at Tang Tang in front of him.

Before I could react, the black line suddenly broke.

The hatred that had just risen vanished abruptly, as if it were an illusion.

"It can also sever relationships between people."

She beckoned with her finger, and a white line reappeared on Zhou Zhengyang's wrist.

The next second, the white thread connecting him and Tangtang snapped.

Zhou Zhengyang shuddered again, and all his memories of Tang Tang vanished from his mind.

In an instant, his gaze toward Tang Tang was filled with unfamiliarity and bewilderment.

He frowned and pondered for a moment, then noticed something was amiss.

The next instant, a faint, almost transparent white line connected to Tang Tang's body.

Tang Tang pointed to the faint white line and said, "This is a new relationship line that Zhou Zhengyang has established, and it's different from the previous one."

Fingertips lightly brushed across the white line, as if plucking the strings of a musical instrument.

The faint white line quickly returned to its original state.

In an instant, all the memories that had vanished from Zhou Zhengyang's mind returned.

His expression changed drastically, and he took two steps back, saying in disbelief, "This ability is terrifying!"

"Can manipulate everyone's relationships at will."

"When relationships change, even memories can change."

When he looked up again, he saw genuine fear in Tang Tang's eyes.

I thought Yu Mengnian's dream and Xu Qinghe's listening mind were already terrifying enough.

As a result, Tangtang's awakened abilities were even more terrifying.

The relationship line seems harmless.

But it can manipulate everyone's emotions and memories at will.

If Tang Tang is willing, even Yu Mengnian has no chance to resist.

Tang Tang saw through Zhou Zhengyang's thoughts.

She shook her head and said, "It's not as amazing as you think."

"After I severed ties with you, didn't you immediately realize it? And then you even started new relationships on your own."

"As for the hatred line, once you realize it, you will also notice this abnormal emotion."

"If there is any estrangement or doubt between the two, it is difficult to establish a relationship by force."

That's true.

But everyone present understood that this ability was terrifying beyond measure, and could be considered a conceptual level ability.

By operating slowly and gradually, one can subtly rewrite anyone's emotions and memories, and silently control everything.

"What about Su Ming's forced favorability?" Chen Zhiwei suddenly asked.

After thinking carefully for a moment, Tang Tang solemnly replied, "It should be the same type of knowledge."

"The level of forced favorability is higher."

"As for how high it is, I'm not quite sure."

Forced affection means that even if you know your feelings are abnormal, you will be completely trapped and unable to break free, and it is a permanent constraint.

This domineering nature is countless times more terrifying than Tang Tang's current relationship.

Chen Zhiwei asked again, "So, can you pull Su Ming back now?"

Tangtang shook her head: "I can't do it."

"I only stabilized his cognition and memory, preventing his condition from deteriorating and collapsing. I couldn't forcibly pull him back to a normal state."

After figuring out Tangtang's awakened abilities.

Chen Zhiwei placed the documents on the dining table.

"Tangtang, you must listen to everything I say next, word for word."

Yu Mengnian, Cheng Yao, and Xu Qinghe also gathered around at this time.

Without further hesitation, Chen Zhiwei opened the document and began to explain his analysis and complete plan in a clear and organized manner.

"It is known that in Su Ming's eyes, lower life forms have lost their vitality and have become dead objects."

"Even if Tangtang tells him the truth about the mass disappearance of humanity, his brain will automatically correct and filter the information."

"His level of cognition is no longer able to comprehend the current world; his thought system directly blocks out all truths beyond his comprehension."

Everyone nodded in agreement, deeply understanding the sentiment.

Tang Tang had told Su Ming the truth about the disappearances of humans.

No matter how she explained, Su Ming remained completely bewildered, as if his brain had crashed, unable to receive or understand the information.

"Therefore, based on Su Ming's change in vision, I have temporarily divided the world into four layers."

"Everyone knows that different lives see the world differently."

"The simplest example is the visual differences between organisms."

"Dogs only see yellow and blue light, birds can see ultraviolet light and full visible light, and flies see the world as a mosaic of fragments."

Chen Zhiwei opened the file, which contained many everyday landscape photos.

"This is the normal world as we see it, the first layer of the world."

"This layer of the world is the normal, complete, and real world that conforms to the public's perception."

"When Su Ming activated the low-level blind spot, he saw the second layer of the world."

"Besides ordinary objects, light, and scenery, he can see countless lines of relationships that permeate the world."

"In this perspective, Su Ming saw His trace, a long line connecting the unknown depths of space."

He said the entire planet was enveloped in a giant net, and something was closing it in.

Chen Zhiwei pointed to the ceiling, her tone grave.

The second layer of the world is invisible to ordinary humans; it can only be deduced and imagined based on Su Ming's descriptions.

"Now, with Su Ming's newly reshaped understanding, his vision has broadened, and he has entered a new level."

"The relationship lines have become tangible, transforming into a tree."

"Thousands of trees stretch out in a continuous expanse, forming a vast and boundless sea of ​​trees; this is the third layer of the world."

As they listened, everyone flipped through the documents that Chen Zhiwei had brought.

One piece of data in the document caught their attention.

This morning, while searching for humans, Su Ming, in a moment of frustration, punched and knocked down a large tree.

According to subsequent analysis, that tree corresponds to a relationship point of an ordinary person in reality.

After the tree fell, this person's relationships were completely severed, and all his memories disappeared, as if he had become a newborn baby in this world.

Nobody knew him.

Fortunately, the written and visual records that have survived have not disappeared.

The relevant departments in China quickly identified him and his past experiences.

But those vibrant memories have now become nothing more than cold, archived records.

Even when he looked through his own past records, he felt no emotional resonance whatsoever, as if he were observing the life of a stranger.

He needs to build a new network of relationships and new memories from scratch.

His problem triggered a six-fold chain of anomalies, which is the previously mentioned Law of Six.

First, she lost all memories of him, becoming a stranger to him and severing all ties.

The memory gaps in the first layer of the social network trigger a chain reaction, causing minor amnesia among people in the second layer of the social network.

Then comes the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth layers.

The impact of each layer will be reduced.

By the sixth level, the impact is negligible.

But the disappearance of one person's network of relationships does indeed affect everyone in the world.

In His eyes.

Human beings are not individuals, but a closely connected whole.

"The whole thing?" Zhou Zhengyang exclaimed in surprise.

This was far beyond his comprehension.

Chen Zhiwei nodded and explained, "To be precise, the entire sea of ​​trees covering the whole of Blue Star shares a single root."

"These tangible trees are essentially aggregates of countless human memories."

"Countless memories pile up like a forest, their roots intertwined and their branches intertwined, forming countless interconnected nodes."

"This is the point of intersection of memories shared by all beings."

"These memories collide and merge with each other, creating emotional resonance, which is the bond and relationship between people."

"so."

Chen Zhiwei paused briefly before uttering a conclusion that sent chills down everyone's spine: "Theoretically speaking, if you can target one person, you can target all of humanity; if you kill one person, you can implicate everyone in the world."

Each word fell silent, and the room fell into a deathly stillness.

Until Chen Zhiwei pointed to a new term on the document.

It's called [Memory Forest].

This is a unified conclusion reached by a group of top scientists and processors, based on Su Ming's reaction and deductions.

Everyone lives in the forest, and everyone's memories are shared.

Just like all rivers flowing into the sea, they all share the same origin and flow.

Chen Zhiwei took a deep breath and continued.

"In the third layer of the world, the word Su Ming murmurs most often is 'wind'."

"The wind is probably a more concrete form of Him."

"It is even a part of Him."

"And the fourth world may be the world as He sees it."

"Unfortunately, with all the information we have now, we are completely unable to deduce or depict the true appearance of the fourth layer of the world."

After sorting through the four layers of the world, Chen Zhiwei looked up at Tang Tang.

"Tangtang, there's only one thing I need you to do."

"Extend the threads of your relationship, allowing Su Ming's vision to continue to rise, to touch and peer into the fourth layer of the world."

"It's like flying a kite."

"You just need to keep Su Ming's cognition and memories from completely collapsing."

"No matter how high he flies, you must make sure that the line is in your hands, never broken, never lost, and never abandoned."

"Can you do this?"

It must be said that this is an extremely bold idea.

It is also the most likely breakthrough point to see their true nature.

Tang Tang looked at the red thread on her wrist and nodded solemnly: "I can do it."

"However," she sighed softly, "if the line is too long, the wind will be too strong. All I can do is hold on tight; I can't pull him back, not even a little bit."

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhiwei waved her hand calmly, her tone resolute: "It's alright."

"As long as the thread doesn't break, it's fine."

"Whether he can come back or not is Wen Qi's business."

"All we need to do is ensure that Su Ming is sent back to 2026 on September 9th."

"What happened next."

Chen Zhiwei shrugged, a hint of amusement in his eyes: "Then that's none of our business."
