Oh no! I'm surrounded by female ghosts!

"Su Ming, go to 2019 first, and we'll merge the scenes when you come back."

"If there's a problem, you can open one and take a look."

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Ming said to Tang Tang beside him, "Wait for me, see you in 2019."

He then immediately activated the upgrade quest related to Tang Tang's favorability.

The entire world froze for a moment as black mist from deep space surged in from all directions, like a greedy beast, instantly devouring the world.

Wait for the black fog to dissipate.

Su Ming appeared in Pingjiang City in 2019.

Seven years ago, Pingjiang City hadn't changed much; everything seemed quite familiar.

He looked down at the things Wen Qi had given him before he left.

There were actually three paper stars.

Hearing Wen Qi say that he could open them again if there were any problems, Su Ming simply threw them into his backpack first.

"I remember that the Lanyue residential complex was handed over seven years ago."

He had just taken a step when a figure suddenly blocked his way.

Looking up, I saw that it was Yu Mengnian.

Su Ming was completely numb.

The numbness started in my toes and went all the way to the top of my head.

He had expected Yu Mengnian to be the first to find him, but he never expected her to find him so quickly.

I've only been in 2019 for less than ten seconds.

It's as if she's specifically here in Pingjiang City to guard herself.

Yu Mengnian stared coldly at Su Ming and asked, "Who are you?"

Su Ming quickly looked around, then lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Come with me first, there are too many people around here."

He brought Yu Mengnian to his home in Lanyue Community.

The lock was pried open, the door was pushed open, and the room was empty, with a thick layer of dust on the floor and mostly withered green vines.

"My parents bought this house for me a few years ago, but no one has ever lived in it."

Su Ming opened the window to ventilate the room before he began to tell Yu Mengnian about his origins.

Yu Mengnian listened very attentively.

But Su Ming always felt that she was a little different from before.

Those calm and indifferent eyes seemed to hold an undercurrent of turmoil, as if something was trying to break free from its cocoon.

"..."

"So, here I am in 2019."

"This is Tangtang's doomsday line. I'm still not sure what will happen in 2019."

After saying that, Su Ming asked in a low voice, "Do you believe me?"

He suddenly remembered something and quickly took out a letter from his backpack.

This is a message written by Yu Mengnian at the end of 2012 for her future self.

Upon opening the envelope, there were only four words inside: What is said is true.

Looking at these four words, Yu Mengnian's lips curled into a very faint smile.

It's Su Ming, who just arrived in 2019.

Every time she had met Su Ming before, it was always the first time.

This time, her encounter with Su Ming can finally be considered a reunion.

I believe you.

Yu Mengnian nodded: "So, every time you come to the apocalypse timeline, it's for the same girl."

"Wen Qi in 2003, Shen Wanyu in 2012, and Tang Tang in 2019."

"And I am merely a gift along your journey, aren't I?"

Su Ming stared at Yu Mengnian in shock.

He could hardly believe that Yu Mengnian would say such a thing.

This is completely unlike something she would say.

"I hope that one day you will come for me."

Yu Mengnian slowly walked to the balcony and looked up at the clouds in the sky.

At that moment, she seemed to understand why Wen Qi always liked to stand here and look into the distance.

She was never looking at the scenery, nor at the future.

She was waiting for her man to return home safely.

Su Ming also went to the balcony. He didn't look into the distance, but instead looked down at the residential area.

He saw a couple he knew.

Li Tao and Song Liyi died in 2026.

But in 2019, the two of them were chatting and laughing, walking side by side, their eyes filled with affection.

Given this situation, who could have imagined that in 2026 Li Tao would kill Song Liyi for his lover?

Their loving relationship became the most glaring irony seven years later.

"Su Ming".

Just as Su Ming was lost in thought, Yu Mengnian suddenly called out to him.

In the instant she turned her head, she tiptoed and gently pressed her cool lips against his.

This sudden kiss left Su Ming frozen in place.

As their lips parted, Yu Mengnian said earnestly, "Feelings are mutual."

"You like me a lot now."

"Just like how Li Tao loves his wife Song Liyi now."

"But how long can this relationship last?"

People change.

"When I'm slow to respond to you, how long will it take you to get tired? How long will it take for you to change?"

"I don't know, but that day will definitely come."

"So," she gazed intently at Su Ming, her eyes filled with an unprecedented determination, "only by forcing a level of affection can it be eternal."

"Only by becoming your nurtured character can you preserve this eternally burning passion."

This sudden confession.

It must be a confession.

A confession and response exclusively for Yu Mengnian.

"Hello, Daoist partner, my name is Yu Mengnian."

From 2003, 2012, and now in 2019, Yu Mengnian has for the first time acknowledged Su Ming as her Daoist partner.

A single self-introduction spans three apocalyptic timelines and is also her most heartfelt confession.

the other side.

Chen Zhiwei picked up Xu Qinghe, who had just been released from prison.

After getting into the car, Xu Qinghe looked around first, then asked, "Where's Sister Mengnian?"

Chen Zhiwei grinned and said, "She went to Pingjiang City to pick up Su Ming."

"I want to try and see if her missing emotions and humanity can heal themselves?"

After saying that, she gave a mischievous laugh: "I told her to go and confess to Su Ming."

Xu Qinghe looked puzzled: "Dr. Chen, is this necessary?"

Chen Zhiwei nodded emphatically: "Of course it's necessary."

"Although I did it to get an extra layer of insurance."

"But don't you think that Yu Mengnian, who lacks emotional connection, is the loneliest person in the world?"

Even if she meets someone who likes her, she can't reciprocate their feelings.

"Without a response, there will be no result."

"I'm her only friend, so of course I have to give her a push."

This is Chen Zhiwei's personal desire, and also her gentleness.

Leaning back in the back seat, Chen Zhiwei lightly twirled a coin between his fingers, his tone becoming serious.

"Tell me about it."

"What did I, from the world of memories, tell you before you entered here?"

This is why Xu Qinghe entered the second layer of the memory world.

She can hear her own thoughts.

Some things cannot be said explicitly; they can only be conveyed through her.

Xu Qinghe showed no surprise, but instead smiled obediently and said.

"One question."

How can we get Tangtang to let go in the real world?

"If we return to the real world, this layer of the Tangtang world of memories will disappear."

"But if she doesn't let go of her memories, she's even less likely to choose to let go."

This is the most difficult problem, and a dead end.

She couldn't let go unless she went back.

Going back, the memories of the first and second floors collapsed, and even if she was willing to let go, it would be too late.

Chen Zhiwei opened the window and silently lit a cigarette.

The sketch of the platform has been completed.

Building this high platform that would allow Him to descend to earth remains fraught with difficulties.

A world of memories.

Su Ming went to deepen his memories of Pingjiang City.

Chen Zhiwei gathered his parents, family, friends, classmates, and anyone who had ever met him in Pingjiang City.

This city will become Su Ming's most unforgettable memory.

The Lychee Hotel was also booked by the authorities for a large gathering.

Su Ming was very happy, raising his wine glass and clinking glasses with each other at each table.

One glass of wine after another went down his throat.

With Su Ming's current physical strength exceeding 5000, it would be impossible for him to be drunk.

But his heart was already intoxicated.

He swayed unsteadily, spouting drunken ramblings: "Let me tell you, after the gods descend to earth, I will definitely have a go at the hands of these three mythological figures: Yang Jian, Nezha, and Sun Wukong."

"Online, people say there are three traitors in Heaven: a stone, two pounds of lotus root, three eyes, and a dog."

"You'll have to include me then."

"Let's call it... let's call it..." Su Ming started rambling incoherently, "Let's call it 'The Great King, with all his beauties, wreaks havoc in the Nine Heavens,' what do you all say?"

The hall erupted in cheers and applause: "Great! Your Majesty is so awesome! Count me in next time!"

"Yes, yes, and me too."

Su Ming waved his hand dismissively, exuding an air of magnanimity: "A small problem."

"I want to see that Chang'e then." He pointed to the night sky, laughing triumphantly, "Is she as beautiful as my Meng Nianmei?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Laughter lifted the roof off.

Tomorrow, he will leave this world.

Once the lower-level blind spot is fully activated, his cognitive memory will completely collapse and disintegrate.

This is his last night on earth.

Let him have one last wild night in his youth, and go all out.

Chen Zhiwei quietly left the Lychee Hotel with Cheng Yao.

They strolled around the Shiguang Cafe, which was completely locked down.

"Dr. Chen." Cheng Yao was puzzled as to why Chen Zhiwei had asked her out alone.

This man is the pillar of the Dragon Kingdom.

Don't tell me she's just a third-tier actress.

Even though she was a popular actress, she could never see Chen Zhiwei, and she couldn't even hear her name.

Perhaps fifty or sixty years from now, she will see Chen Zhiwei's name in the newspaper.

That will be a day of national celebration, and at that time, there might be articles about the glorious retirement of so-and-so's mother.

"Go to the real world and tell the first me that the plan is going well and the draft of the platform has been completed."

"She can go do that now."

"After you go, you don't need to come back. Stay in the real world to assist the other me."

Cheng Yao's pupils contracted slightly.

She didn't know what "that thing" was.

But judging from Chen Zhiwei's expression, this was the most difficult thing.

Even she wasn't entirely confident.

As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning.

Once you get started, everything else will fall into place naturally.

"Oh, by the way," Chen Zhiwei said, patting Cheng Yao on the shoulder as she prepared to leave, "Xu Qinghe once secretly told me..."

"That's what Tangtang is saying deep down."

She whispered in Cheng Yao's ear, "If only everything could have stopped in 2019."

Cheng Yao shuddered, her pupils shrinking sharply.

Chen Zhiwei, however, acted as if nothing had happened, and waved her hand dismissively, saying, "You can leave now."

A storm raged in Cheng Yao's heart.

Having navigated the ups and downs of the entertainment industry for many years, she has witnessed the most hypocritical human nature and the ugliest desires in the world.

This sounds like a little girl's greed.

But if this girl is Tangtang, then there's a big problem.

I forcibly suppressed this jumble of thoughts.

But she also had her own selfish motives. Did she not wish that in the last doomsday scenario, only she and Su Ming would remain?

As human beings, before being forced to establish a positive relationship, everyone has their own selfish motives and calculations.

Cheng Yao closed her eyes and exited the memories.

Her body blurred for a moment before returning to normal.

When I opened my eyes again, all that remained was confusion and panic.

Blinking, she looked around and asked, "Where am I?"

The Cheng Yao we know now is the original Cheng Yao from the first layer of memories.

Her memory is still stuck on the moment she boarded the plane.

The real world.

Cheng Yaosu, who had been sleeping, has awakened.

Her eyes were initially dazed, then she suddenly became clear-headed.

in the room.

Tang Tang, Yu Mengnian, and Xu Qinghe still had their eyes closed.

Zhou Zhengyang and Chen Zhiwei's eyes immediately turned to the awakened Cheng Yao.

The one with the strongest reaction was Zhou Zhengyang, who blurted out, "You, you didn't enter the memory?"

He clearly remembered that after Chen Zhiwei gave the order, everyone closed their eyes at the same time.

But Cheng Yao woke up in an instant, as if she had just blinked.

Chen Zhiwei, who was standing to the side, smiled and said, "You're back."

Cheng Yao nodded: "I'm back."

Seeing Zhou Zhengyang's confused expression, Chen Zhiwei explained in a good mood: "Memories are the memories we originally possessed."

"It's our thinking that's in motion."

"And the speed at which thought processes transcends time."

"No matter how far back we recall things, reality is but a fleeting moment."

"This is the only ability of humankind that can rival theirs."

"It is also our only weapon against them."

After explaining, she looked at Cheng Yao: "Tell me, what message did the other me send back to me?"

Cheng Yao quickly told him everything.

Chen Zhiwei listened attentively and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

When she realized that Su Ming had disappeared, she guessed that all traces of Su Ming on Blue Star were probably just memories.

Cheng Yao's words confirmed his suspicions.

However, when Cheng Yao said, "Tang Tang's deepest thought is that it would be great if we could stay in 2019 forever."

When this most ordinary sentence appears.

Chen Zhiwei's smile froze instantly, and her expression changed drastically.
