Oh no! I'm surrounded by female ghosts!

11-year-old Su Ming stared at the computer screen with red eyes.

I don't want to go to school.

I want to play games, 24/7.

Reading is tedious and painful; let whoever wants to do it go ahead.

In the living room, Su Wangshan and Song Yu were arguing incessantly, their shouts loud and intense.

Song Yu was fiercely protective of her son, and her tone was firm: "So what if my son likes to play video games? Our family is well-off. Even if he doesn't go to school, he will be set for life."

"You're foolish!" Su Wangshan frowned and retorted sharply, "A doting mother spoils her son; you're too short-sighted."

"Studying is a must, and university is a must."

"I don't ask him to achieve great success or top academic results, but reading can broaden his horizons and cultivate his mind, which is something that nothing else can replace."

Enraged, Song Yu stood firmly in front of the door, arguing vehemently: "Society is the best university."

"Many great figures didn't attend prestigious schools and dropped out early, yet they still achieved great success."

"Go and investigate for yourself," Su Wangshan roared. "Just because you haven't been to school doesn't mean you weren't taught."

"Drop out of school? You should check which school you're dropping out of."

The argument outside the door had no effect on Su Ming inside the room.

The game is so much fun!

Especially for him, who is only 11 years old.

He was playing a horror game called "Under Fate".

The game is set in the future, in 2026.

The protagonist is a boy named A-Ming, who is seventeen years old this year.

The story begins when Ah Ming is surfing the internet and is drawn to a strange private message.

A netizen named Peppermint said that a place called Lychee Hotel had a major fire seven years ago, after which a series of strange things happened.

In the instant the two were chatting online, A-Ming witnessed Peppermint being attacked by a ghost and dying tragically on the spot.

And this ghost has its eye on him.

Su Ming needs to control this character named A Ming to survive.

He has died many times.

But I also figured out some of the rules.

The ghost is called the "jumping ghost." It won't come to take your life immediately, but will appear at 2:23 AM.

So A-Ming had one day to prepare.

The main scene of the game contains many strange items that Su Ming needs to find and collect.

The higher the level of the strange item, the greater its side effects.

After dying dozens of times, he successfully obtained a bizarre item called the "Death Radio".

If you want to use it, you have to help it get revenge.

At the same time, Su Ming also discovered that there might be a hidden force in this game.

This organization is called the Anomaly Management Bureau, and it specializes in handling these anomalous events.

The game features a thrilling storyline and a novel setting that makes it highly addictive.

It's just too difficult.

He was completely absorbed in the game, using the mouse to control his character, and was carefully following an NPC named "Li Fei".

at the same time.

Yu Mengnian didn't even frown. Her gaze suddenly turned to a certain spot, and she disappeared in a flash.

Upon seeing this, Chen Zhiwei immediately stood up and quickly caught up, her tone tinged with helplessness: "Niannian, don't forget me, you forgot to bring me."

Yu Mengnian was ultimately influenced by evil thoughts.

Although it wasn't enough to breed inner demons, her alienation from the world grew wider and wider.

Even Chen Zhiwei could no longer stir any emotion in her.

For her long lifespan.

A hundred years is but a fleeting moment for an ordinary person. Everyone around us is ultimately just a passing guest, destined to disappear and fade away. They are not worth lingering over, much less worrying about.

"Does this guy really think of me as an ant?"

Just as Chen Zhiwei was venting, her phone suddenly rang.

Upon answering the call, Zhou Zhengyang's voice roared out, making her eardrums ache.

This time, however, she did not scold Zhou Zhengyang.

Instead, he shouted at the same volume, "What did you say?"

"A blood-red vortex appeared in the sea."

"I'm asking you, are the coordinates 14.2793°N, 112.5642°E?"

There was a visibly momentary pause on the other end of the phone, followed by confirmation from someone else: "The core coordinates of the anomaly in the central South China Sea are 14.2793°N, 112.5642°E."

Chen Zhiwei had already heard it without Zhou Zhengyang needing to repeat it further.

She silently hung up the phone and looked around at the chaotic scene of man-made disaster.

Only a small percentage of people can maintain their rationality and suppress their evil thoughts.

Most people have lost control.

But this loss of control is not permanent.

Once they've vented, they'll suddenly wake up, then stand there bewildered, filled with regret and despair.

Chen Zhiwei looked up at the sky and sighed softly, her tone extremely complex.

"As expected of you, Wen Qi."

Through the new memories that surfaced from Yu Mengnian, he figured out what the current situation of this world was like.

Now think about it.

The three doomsday lines overlap.

It was never a triple overlap of a single worldline from the very beginning.

Instead, there are two world lines with different directions, resulting in three apocalyptic lines appearing simultaneously.

In the course of the normal world, the first, second, and third doomsday lines appear.

In the process of disrupting the world's trajectory, the third, fourth, and first doomsday lines appear.

Therefore, the two world lines actually overlap to form four doomsday lines.

Wen Qi's goal was actually very simple, and also very violent.

It doesn't matter who Su Ming chooses first.

As long as I show up.

If things don't go my way, I'll flip the table, and everyone can stop playing.

Those three paper stars from 2019.

The quantity was for Chen Zhiwei to see, but the content was for Su Ming to see.

However, the quantity and content were intended for Su Ming, who was only 10 years old at the time.

Wen Qi probably already guessed the order in which the characters would appear.

In 2019, the anthropomorphic Xiao Suming could see all the endings, and he might choose the one he liked.

But Wenqi told Him to choose a different one that we all thought was good.

If we don't change it, then let's not move towards the ending; let's all just stop here.

The moment He descended in human form, He was destined to abide by some of the rules of the human world.

Compromise is a compulsory course for being human.

No one can do whatever they want, and no one can do whatever they want.

Moral constraints, cognitive bottom lines, and environmental restrictions are essentially the same as forced favorability—they are all forms of forced change.

Since you want to understand people in a human way.

So, let's learn the content of this lesson first.

Chen Zhiwei's eyes shone with an astonishing brightness.

She looked at the many people who had already vented their anger and were now filled with regret.

The changes in the hearts of all beings can instantly alter their inner world.

The inner world is the outlet for all beings' negative emotions; it is the abyss of the human heart.

Therefore, it is the easiest thing for them to perceive.

Regret is also a lesson Wen Qi taught to fate.

No one is perfect, and nothing in this world is perfect; life is full of imperfections and regrets.

She wanted to make not only fate, but all of them, understand that the first human emotion is regret.

"In other words..."

"Everything that's happening right now is actually still within the 2019 doomsday timeline."

"It is the beginning of ten-year-old Su Ming choosing his ending."

"Wen Qi blocked the known endings, leaving only an unknown ending that even they did not know."

"In 2019, Xiao Suming could see the direction of the world, but he couldn't see the ending; he could only see a dead end."

"To untie the knot, He must abide by the first timeline that chose Wen Qi."

"But by the time the knot is untied, He will have become human, so He will still be invisible."

After figuring this out, Chen Zhiwei threw her head back and laughed loudly.

"Destiny, do you hear me?"

"Even if the ending is predetermined, we don't want to know at all."

"To risk one's life for a predetermined outcome is ridiculous and absurd."

"Aren't you even a little curious about the ending, which even you don't know?"

"Destiny..."

She laughed loudly and tossed a coin into the air: "Answer me."

The coin flew high into the air and spun around.

...

With a snap, time reversed, and it landed on the table.

2019, the real world.

Chen Zhiwei, Cheng Yao, and Zhou Zhengyang stared intently at the spinning coin on the table.

But what they didn't know was...

In a dimension unseen by them, ten-year-old Su Ming was also watching.

Cheng Yao's throat tightened, and she turned her head to look at Chen Zhiwei, whose expression was inscrutable: "What wish did you just make?"

Chen Zhiwei calmly said, "I just made a wish."

"Destiny will make Su Ming a real person, a person with flesh and blood, with emotions and desires."

Zhou Zhengyang moved his lips, but ultimately didn't speak. Cheng Yao continued, asking, "Hasn't Su Ming already appeared?"

"It's different." Chen Zhiwei shook her head: "Only after I make my wish will he appear as a true human."

"If I don't grant this wish, Su Ming will only descend upon Earth in a human form."

The voice just fell.

The coin that had been spinning on the table for a long time suddenly stopped.

There is no front, and no back.

It stands upright on the flat tabletop.

next second.

Click—click—

Fine cracks instantly covered the entire coin, shattering the silver light and disappearing completely.

While Cheng Yao and Zhou Zhengyang were still in a daze, Chen Zhiwei burst into laughter.

"It means that something that was absolutely impossible has become a possibility."

After saying that, Chen Zhiwei raised her hand, took the knife, and stabbed it fiercely into Tang Tang's chest. Her eyes were burning with obsession, and her tone was as light as a curse: "Then love him forever, and never let go."

...

Time and space shift, and scenes change.

Da Suming and Xiao Suming sat in the living room chatting.

Xiao Suming said, "Then seventeen years old, I like that age."

He followed up with another question: "At seventeen, do you have a girl you like?"

Da Suming nodded: "Yes."

Xiao Su Ming tilted his head: "How much do you like it?"

Da Su Ming's eyes were filled with relief and warmth as he softly replied, "I am very fortunate to have been born as a human being."

...

Fragments of memory flash back in turn.

Tang Tang said to Su Ming, "Su Ming, we're married."

Yu Mengnian burned in the flames, and with all her might she shouted, "Su Ming, next time, I will let you see me sooner."

...

Lanyue Residential Area.

Yu Mengnian dialed the number with trembling hands, her voice filled with confusion and unease: "Chen, who is he?"

After a few seconds of pause, Chen Zhiwei shook his head: "It's not important, someone will handle it."

...

On the rooftop of Pingjiang City.

Xu Qinghe reached out to stop Chen Zhiwei: "Let me do it."

"You should be standing in the sunlight, not living in the shadows."

He took the cold sniper rifle.

Pull the trigger.

A shot rang out.

She fired a shot into the future.

...

At the Abyss Base, as the gods descended, Wen Qi, having lost 1 point of favorability, resolutely rushed into the door imprisoning the Giant Baby of the World.

The black mist devoured everything in the world.

Ten-year-old Su Ming looked at the black and white world emerging from the black mist.

A three-year-old girl tossed a coin into the air, but the coin glided past her fingertips and rolled into the alley, disappearing without a trace.

The girl searched for a long time, but in the end, she could only clench her empty palms, turn away with a red nose.

Ten-year-old Su Ming looked at the coin that stood perfectly upright in the crack of the bluestone slab.

It seems to be waiting for an answer.

Front? Or back?

Thus began his long journey through the world, following the coin.

In 2009, he witnessed the birth of Su Ming, a vibrant and lively child.

In 2019, he watched as Su Ming used it to buy a lollipop and left happily.

"True happiness."

Ten-year-old Su Ming looked at his other ten-year-old self and said softly.

Just one yuan, just one lollipop, filled the ten-year-old boy with joy.

At that moment, he seemed to understand something.

It turns out that the purest joy in the world has nothing to do with grand destiny; it's just the sweetness of a dollar or a moment of peace of mind.

In 2020, he watched as the coin returned to Chen Zhiwei's hand.

...

Time and space are restored to their proper places.

Chen Zhiwei laughed loudly as he tossed the coin into the air and shouted.

"Fate, answer me."

The coin flew high into the air and spun around.

With a snap, it landed on the ground, fitting perfectly into the gap between the bricks and stones, standing upright.

Chen Zhiwei stared at the upright coin.

Suddenly, a gentle breeze swept by.

The coin wobbled and fell over; it was heads.

Chen Zhiwei laughed loudly while clenching her fists, but a sly glint flashed in her eyes: "I'll take that as a yes."

"Ha ha ha ha."

A hearty laugh echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

She played a little trick.

Before flipping the coin, she didn't say whether heads or tails meant yes or no.

She thought that no matter which side it was, she would accept it as fate.

The petty thoughts of an ordinary woman are probably not something that a dignified man like Destiny would care about.

The wind blew open a small window, into a small room, and stirred a tiny person.

11-year-old Su Ming stood up: "Why is it so windy?"

He walked quickly to the window and closed it tightly.

Just as I turned around, a voice rang in my ears: "If you like games, then play them well."

Xiao Suming turned around, but saw nothing.

It sounds like I'm hallucinating.

All he could hear was his parents arguing outside the door about his playing video games versus going to school.

He sat back down at the computer, his gaze returning to the screen.

The game interface quietly refreshed, and a new update notification popped up.

Xiao Su Ming's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed softly, "Wow, the game has updated with new features!"

He lightly tapped the mouse, curiously clicking on the update details, his gaze suddenly freezing.

[New Feature: Character Development System Launched]

"let me see."

"Character development?"

"Why is there only one?"

"A ghost school beauty?"

"It must be pretty impressive."

"Give it a try."

Click OK.

A crisp system notification sound instantly resounded throughout the entire game interface.

[Congratulations, player! You have obtained the initial character: Ghost School Beauty]
