Oh no! I'm surrounded by female ghosts!

2026 4 Month 4 Day.

The bloody traces in the central South China Sea vanished without a trace.

All written records, video archives, data, and personal memories related to the blood-red anomaly and the Deep Sea Ode to Salute on Earth were erased by an invisible force, as if they had never happened in the world.

2026 4 Month 7 Day.

Su Ming stood across the street from the Lychee Hotel and casually waved.

The ghost who had jumped off the building next to him asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, aren't we going in?"

Su Ming grinned: "No rush, I just told them to come tomorrow."

"To start a group fight, you need to call in reinforcements first."

Standing quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the upper floor of the hotel, Yu Mengnian's gaze was fixed on the dashing figure of the young man leaving downstairs.

The Lychee Hotel was the second scene that repeatedly appeared in her countless dreams.

The memory of the hotel burned to the ground in a raging fire pierced her heart, as if she had forgotten something, yet also remembered something.

But there was an invisible force guiding her here.

She had come many times before, but only this time did she see the figure she had always wanted to see.

That boy.

Who is he?

I can't remember.

Just like that wedding poster in the hotel lobby.

The groom's figure was blurred, his features completely obscured by the mists of time, leaving only a familiar outline that was neither clearly defined nor easily explained.

2026 4 Month 10 Day.

Su Ming, accompanied by Wen Qi, Shen Wanyu, the human skin ghost, the jumping ghost, the chef, the sports student, and the dean of students, officially stepped into the Lychee Hotel.

Today, he is going to completely dispose of this hotel.

At the same time.

Upon returning to the capital, Yu Mengnian suddenly opened her eyes.

She sensed the essence of space, a barely perceptible ripple spreading across an extremely deep, microscopic level.

It's as if the barrier between nothingness and reality has cracked open at a slender intersection.

In a top-notch scientific research laboratory, Chen Zhiwei was staring at precision instruments.

The previously stable and fluctuating data curve suddenly experienced a strange fluctuation that vanished in an instant.

She frowned slightly, and a precise yet absurd metaphor quickly came to mind.

It's like forcibly installing a high-version program into an old, already-established system.

This has led to compatibility issues, causing the underlying structure to change subtly.

Her description is very accurate.

The original endpoint of this world line should have been set in 2020.

But now, it has been extended to 2026.

If you load software from 2026 into the original 2020 timeline, the underlying framework of the world will naturally be updated.

For example, the entire old system is updated and corrected to make it more suitable for the new system.

A clear bell rang out at that moment.

Caller ID: Yu Mengnian.

Chen Zhiwei answered the phone, and a calm voice came through the receiver: "Where are you?"

After a few seconds of silence, she looked at the data screen in front of her and replied, "I don't know."

"it is good."

The call abruptly ended with the last word.

She took off the glasses she had worn during the experiment and rubbed her temples wearily.

He subconsciously pulled a scratched coin out of his pocket.

As the most rigorous and rational scientific research leader in the entire Dragon Kingdom,

At this very moment, she is searching for answers in the most naive and absurd way.

Toss it up, drop it, alternating between up and down.

"Really... or is it fake..."

"Fake...real..."

Is our world real or an illusion?

Three heads, three tails.

The result of achieving perfect balance made her laugh out loud, a self-deprecating laugh.

"If you believe it to be true, then it is true."

"If you consider it fake, then it is fake."

The most idealistic answer, at this moment, has become the most unsolvable and most essential truth.

Much later.

She looked up at the pure white ceiling and murmured softly.

"In other words..."

"The world is about to be updated."

the other side.

Yu Mengnian transformed into a beam of light and headed towards Pingjiang City once again.

That boy.

It felt familiar in my dream.

Vague yet familiar.

Who is he?

Long-buried fragments of memory surged and pieced together wildly in her mind.

The moment her figure appeared in front of the Lychee Hotel.

All the hazy memories have now surfaced clearly.

Taking a deep breath, Yu Mengnian stepped into the hotel.

Following closely behind, Chen Zhiwei arrived breathlessly, hurriedly pushed open the door, and grabbed Yu Mengnian's wrist.

"Mengnian, have you thought it through?"

"Give us three more years."

She knew what Yu Mengnian wanted to do.

And she had just seen through the essence of the world from the result of the coin toss.

Where the heart leads, there lies the truth.

Yu Mengnian did not speak.

She simply fixed her gaze calmly on Su Ming.

An old saying echoed in my heart: "I hope you can maintain the world's trajectory as you remember it."

Today's Lychee Hotel is the most crucial turning point in the entire world line.

The very existence of the Doomsday Line lies in the concept of the apocalypse.

Xu Qinghe is dead.

Shen Wanyu's traces disappeared.

Only remnants of the sugar candy remained.

The moment Wen Qi was chosen by Su Ming, he returned to his human form from his divine position.

A doomsday line without an end is like a fragile bubble in a dream, which could burst at any moment.

She came today.

They came here carrying their own doomsday.

Let the apocalypse forge reality, let the will determine survival, and let the bubbles in our dreams take root and have real meaning.

She just watched Su Ming quietly, neither speaking nor moving.

Su Ming felt a little uneasy under her gaze.

Those eyes were so clear and so deep, as if they could see right through him, piercing through his skin.

A few seconds later, Yu Mengnian looked away and lowered her eyelids.

A cool, clear voice slowly echoed in the quiet hotel lobby.

"It will only update when it crashes."

You should understand the principle of "boiling a frog in lukewarm water" better than I do.

There was no further explanation.

No further explanation is needed.

She created the apocalypse, and she also ushered in a new era.

She abruptly shook off Chen Zhiwei's hand.

boom--

An indescribable aura of terror suddenly arose, like an ancient beast awakening from its slumber.

This is a terrifying pressure that surpasses even the level of a catastrophe and far exceeds the upper limit of a five-awareness awakener.

The oppressive force, as tangible as a physical force, poured out of her body without reservation.

In the eyes of everyone.

Fine cracks appeared simultaneously on the walls, floors, and ceilings of the Lychee Hotel.

These cracks twist and wriggle, like jumping characters.

These characters made up of cracks seem to be conveying some kind of message.

Su Ming tried his best to look.

However, I could only glean a few vague words from between the lines.

"Cap" "Update" "Penetration"

The next second, a vast, terrifying, and ancient whisper resounded in Yu Mengnian's ears.

The gods descended upon the world and returned once more.

2026, April 4.

The world is renewed, the gods descend, and the abyss descends.

Everything is just as I remember.

Yu Mengnian transformed into a continuous mountain of flesh and blood, struggling to sustain herself with her broken consciousness, quietly awaiting the final destiny.

2026, April 6.

The thick black fog dissipated.

Su Ming has returned from the daily chart at the end of 2019.

It wasn't ten-year-old Su Ming, but seventeen-year-old Su Ming.

For Su Ming, the doomsday line in 2019 was just a single doomsday line, the starting point for his journey from His position to the human world.

However, in the eyes of destiny, Wen Qi, and Yu Mengnian, the doomsday timeline of 2019 connects all the doomsday timelines that Su Ming had experienced before, forming a whole, achieving a reversal of cause and effect, and forging a brand new starting point.

And at this starting point, everything seems to have returned to its original place and remained the same.

In reality, it was a turning point where the old world came to an end and the new world began.

The road ahead is uncertain, and the outcome is completely unknown.

The moment Su Ming returned, Yu Mengnian managed a forced smile, and her shaky consciousness collapsed instantly.

Blue Star has undergone its second update.

The world's upper limit has been raised, the first layer of the Abyss has sunk, and the second layer of the Abyss has arrived.

The long-dormant figure of that mountain of flesh and blood has finally been revived.

A light blue system pop-up appeared in front of Su Ming's eyes.

[Affection Level Up Quest: Kill her (Completed)]

[Affection Level: Soul-Stirring → Unwavering Until Death]

[Capacity limit increased: 28 → 30]

Backpack capacity increased from 42 to 45.

[Current Affection Level (Ghost Bride): Unwavering Devotion (Max)]

[Unlock Story Background ②: Destiny]

Tang Tang was taken aback at first.

Then she asked, "Husband, have you returned?"

For them.

No matter how long Su Ming stayed on the daily chart at the end of 2019, it was only for a moment.

Because what happened in the past never affects the present.

Seeing him nod, Tang Tang didn't hesitate any longer. She quickly stepped forward and threw herself into his arms without hesitation.

Now that you're back, you should naturally give me a big hug, no matter how long or short it is.

Shen Wanyu walked over, her eyes bright and clear, and carefully examined him, a hint of a smile in her eyes: "You seem to have gained a lot."

Su Ming nodded readily.

His gaze passed over Tang Tang, through Shen Wanyu, past Xu Qinghe and Bai Xinglan, and landed on Wen Qi, who was also looking at him.

The boy blinked, puffed out his chest, and said with a hint of youthful arrogance and pride, "School beauty, you definitely didn't guess."

"In 2019, I learned many of their secrets."

Wen Qi smiled, her eyes crinkling.

She simply walked over, opened her arms, hugged Su Ming, and whispered, "Welcome back."

These four simple words, light as the wind yet heavy as a mountain, leave a lingering and profound impression.
