Oh no! I'm surrounded by female ghosts!

"Then are these nuclear bombs still useful?"

Zhou Zhengyang stared at the rows of fully equipped and ready-to-go weapons in front of him, his eyes filled with helplessness and bewilderment.

Su Ming sighed softly and patted his shoulder: "I'm afraid it won't be of much use."

The Blue Star as it is today.

Let alone the level of a turbid god.

Even if a Devastating-level creature were to unleash its full power and be given enough time, it would be enough to sweep away everything.

Humanity's prized firearms systems are utterly inadequate in the face of true power.

"Old Zhou."

Su Ming's fingers tightened slightly as he gripped Zhou Zhengyang's shoulder, his voice slightly hoarse: "Do you still remember Pingjiang City?"

He knew in his heart that the other party had forgotten, but he still wanted to ask.

"Pingjiang City?" Zhou Zhengyang was taken aback and immediately asked, "What's wrong with this city called Pingjiang?"

Before he finished speaking, he subconsciously raised his hand, wanting to access the city's detailed files, but Su Ming reached out and pressed his hand down.

"There's no need to investigate further."

Just from that brief moment of unfamiliarity and bewilderment, Su Ming was certain that Zhou Zhengyang had forgotten.

After a moment of silence, Su Ming's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he asked again.

"Do you still remember Gu Yan?"

It was just a casual question.

To everyone's surprise, Zhou Zhengyang actually nodded and said, "I remember."

He quickly pulled up an official file, looked up and asked, "Your Majesty, is this the Level 3 Processing Officer Gu Yan you mentioned?"

Su Ming lowered his head, his eyes fixed on the text on the screen, carefully reading each word.

[Gu Yan, Level 3 Awakened, Level 3 Anomaly Detector, Awakened Ability: Sense of Smell, capable of accurately identifying the aura of strange and eerie things.]

He died in the line of duty in 2018 while handling an unusual incident, at the age of twenty.

He patiently read through the details of the incident, one by one.

The incident originated from a mass resurrection of corpses in a hospital morgue. Initially, after a preliminary investigation by the logistics department, it was classified as a restricted-level abnormal event with the lowest danger level.

Because of the low rating, the department assigned the experienced Gu Yan to lead the team to handle the situation.

As a Level 3 handler, she has successfully resolved two dangerous anomalies, demonstrating both her competence and integrity.

But no one could have predicted that this seemingly ordinary restricted incident was actually linked to an extremely dangerous and unusual event.

On that day, Gu Yan and her entire team perished.

"The morgue." Su Ming frowned.

He couldn't help but think of a character he had nurtured on his game page: [The Corpse in the Morgue].

Could this character be Gu Yan?

In her memory, Gu Yan's parents were clearly Gu Shen and Yao Guiying.

But the file clearly states: an orphan, adopted by a kind old woman since childhood, with no immediate family.

All the real past experiences were covered up by a false resume.

Why is this happening?

Su Ming stroked his chin, pondering for the first time how the world was corrected.

Since his return in 2019, Pingjiang City has vanished, along with millions of its inhabitants.

The existence trajectory of millions of people is so vast that wiping it all out would inevitably affect the memory system of all humankind.

After all, Su Ming learned in 2019 that human memory is actually a whole.

This is no longer a simple population cleansing, but a memory correction campaign covering the entire human population worldwide.

Gu Yan's name still exists, but her background, past, and entanglements have long been unrecognizable.

This is the most conclusive evidence.

The true memories of all humankind are being gradually erased and then replaced.

Those personal experiences, those unforgettable people and events, are all quietly turning into false illusions.

Thinking about this...

Su Ming felt a cold sweat break out on his back.

This is no longer about the authenticity of memories, but rather the traces and meaning of humanity's actual existence, which are being erased by the world little by little.

Just then, ripples suddenly appeared in the space in front of them.

Shen Wanyu carefully helped Wen Qi out.

Wen Qi's face was terribly pale, and there was a horrific wound on his abdomen that was slow to heal.

Red lightning crackled around its wound, swirling with black mist, making it look ferocious and ominous.

"School beauty, how are you?" Su Ming rushed forward and asked with concern.

Wen Qi waved his hand: "It's alright."

"The level of the Turbid God is indeed terrifying."

"But you don't need to panic too much. Yang Jian and other beings at the Turbid God level were all born from the Flesh and Blood Mountain Range."

"Bound by the mountains, they cannot go far. For the time being, they can only move around in the first layer of the abyss and cannot set foot on the surface of Blue Star."

The flesh and blood mountain range is constantly growing.

But this mountain range, to put it bluntly, is reality that grew out of a dream, blurring the boundary between illusion and reality.

Before it grows into the surface of Earth, Yang Jian and his companions are unable to set foot on the surface of Earth.

"Zhou Zhengyang," Wen Qi said.

Zhou Zhengyang immediately stood up straight and answered loudly, "Here!"

"Have all the sealed items I marked been transferred to the secret base in Oe City?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, everyone has arrived safely, without a single one missing!" Zhou Zhengyang replied crisply and decisively.

"very good."

Wen Qi turned to look at Su Ming: "Prepare to listen to these sealed artifacts."

"And the sealed artifacts of the Deepsea Anthem should also be heard."

"Now, we need enough knowledge."

Zhou Zhengyang handed over a thick leather notebook at the opportune moment.

There are a total of 32 sealed items in Dajiang City.

In addition to the 21 sealed items from the Ovation of the Deep Sea.

A total of 53 sealed items.

I wonder how much new knowledge I will gain after listening to everything.

"At the entrance to the abyss, we only need to leave a few operators to monitor it; they won't be able to come up in a short time."

"The most important thing now is to fully reveal the truth about the second world update and the descent of the gods, and to do everything possible to promote the establishment of the mysterious special department."

As Wen Qi previously stated.

The descent of the gods, seemingly an apocalyptic crisis, actually broke the deadlock between humans and ghosts invisibly, and instead promoted a new pattern of coexistence between humans and ghosts.

"Prepare the vehicle and head to the nearest sealed artifact base."

Zhou Zhengyang didn't dare to delay and immediately turned around to make arrangements.

Su Ming supported Wen Qi, looking at her with concern.

The wound on his abdomen was too gruesome.

Instead, Wen Qi smiled and pointed to the wound, saying, "Don't worry, I left this wound on purpose."

"I already have a certain framework for the path to becoming a Turbid God."

Hearing Wen Qi say this, Su Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He then asked with a look of curiosity, "Who won?"

Wen Qi glanced at him sideways, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

Still need to ask?

Su Ming had experienced firsthand just how terrifying Yang Jian's strength was.

Even if she and Shen Wanyu both followed their primal impulses and entered the level of being like Him, they could only harm Yang Jian.

Wounding and killing are two different concepts.

Moreover, they can resurrect infinitely within the mountain of flesh and blood, making them virtually unstoppable.

On the way to a secret base in Dajiang City, Su Ming couldn't suppress his doubts and asked in a low voice, "With our current strength, why do we still need to take a car?"

"Tell me the location, and I can cross it in one step."

Wen Qi poked his head and said with a light smile, "Didn't you have a question for me? Now is the perfect time."

Su Ming was taken aback and blurted out, "How did you know?"

Shen Wanyu, standing to the side, covered her mouth and chuckled, "Your brows are almost furrowed into a '川' shape."

"Is it that obvious?"

He rubbed his temples helplessly and quickly explained that he had just discovered the problem.

Upon hearing Su Ming's explanation, Wen Qi suppressed her smile, lowered her eyes and pondered for a few seconds before slowly raising three fingers.

"First."

"Your guess is probably correct."

"Gu Yan is very likely the female corpse from the morgue."

"Of the eight characters who have appeared in order so far, Cheng Yao and Lin Jiajia's identities have been confirmed. They are the girl in the mirror and the real person, respectively, and are purely fictional."

"So, after you've finished listening to the information, you can first choose the female corpse in the morgue to verify her identity."

Su Ming nodded.

Wen Qi continued, "Secondly, you said that Dajiang City was once Pingjiang City. The disappearance of millions of people in this city and the memory correction would indeed cover almost all of humanity."

"But the impact is actually not that significant."

"First of all, what humans are best at is forgetting. Most vague past memories will naturally fade over time."

"This is why some people have a sense of déjà vu when they go to a strange place."

"Besides the reason of forgetting, there are also some subtle feelings that remain deep in the soul."

"So some people might wonder if they've been to this place in a past life."

As they spoke, Wen Qi took out his phone, pulled up a series of public news articles and netizens' comments, and handed them to Su Ming.

The first video was a speech by a well-known public figure, but the comment section was already in an uproar, filled with questions.

I clearly remember him passing away unexpectedly a long time ago, and it was reported on the news the whole time. How come he's still making public appearances now?

I remember it too! I even watched the news about the memorial service back then; I remember every detail clearly.

[Absolutely true, I witnessed it firsthand in the reports, it was absolutely terrifying!]

Let's move on to the next news item.

The topic of discussion among netizens is a well-known old song.

Countless people argue endlessly, convinced that the lyrics and melody they remember are completely different from the versions circulating today.

But no one could provide any evidence to prove it, leaving only a sense of unease and bewilderment.

Scroll down further.

A blogger claims to have been reborn, witnessed scenes of hell, and even wrote a book documenting hell.

Wen Qi randomly selected a few pages from the book for Su Ming.

It is a vague description of the sun going out.

Su Ming's heart trembled as he watched, and he swallowed hard: "Could this person really be a reincarnated individual?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was met with a big eye roll from Wen Qi.

"I showed you this not so you would believe the rumors of rebirth."

"It's telling you that these anomalies are remnants left by the world's corrective forces."

"The timeline is corrected time and time again, so it is impossible to achieve absolute perfection. There will always be some bugs and flaws left."

"After all, there is no absolute or truly perfect thing in this world."

"There are many interpretations of it within the scientific community."

"For example, false memories, the Mandela effect, source confusion, déjà vu, and so on."

"Essentially, they are all erroneous memories that do not conform to objective reality."

Su Ming asked thoughtfully, "What will be the ultimate consequences of these marks?"

Wen Qi's red lips moved slightly: "It doesn't mean anything."

"Whether the memories are true or false, confused or normal, they have all settled into the true trajectory of life."

"Therefore, there's no need to worry about this."

After finishing the second point, Wen Qi paused and continued.

"The third thing."

"Tell me the details of Yu Mengnian's dream world?"

Speaking of this...

Su Ming turned his head away, feeling a little guilty.

2019 was a special year, and he really forgot about it.

If Wen Qi hadn't asked him now, he wouldn't have remembered this at all.

"Sigh~" Wen Qi patted Su Ming's ear helplessly yet affectionately: "When you go to Xu Qinghe's doomsday line, you must ask clearly."

After saying the three things, Wen Qi disappeared without a trace, as if he had never been there.

Su Ming looked surprised: "Is the school beauty so busy?"

"Where did they go now?"

Shen Wanyu, who was standing next to her, explained with a smile, "She went to the first level of the abyss."

"Don't worry, if she wants to leave, no one can stop her."

This is the terrifying aspect of the blind spots in low-level systems.

It is the most terrifying thing Su Ming currently knows, and it also has the most terrifying aftereffects.

Only someone like Wen Qi, who can constantly create new personalities, can so recklessly exploit the low-level blind spots.
