Oh no! I'm surrounded by female ghosts!

The instruments in the hospital's emergency room emitted a piercing buzzing sound.

The straight lines on the electrocardiogram confirmed the final result.

The attending physician removed his mask and regretfully announced: the rescue was unsuccessful.

Just as the medical staff raised their hands, preparing to cover Xu Qinghe's cold body with a white sheet, a figure appeared out of thin air and grabbed her wrist.

This scene immediately startled the doctors in the emergency room, who simultaneously gasped and their pupils contracted.

Their first reaction was, "Death has come."

After all, they have been racing against death for years.

Amid the chaos, the door to the emergency room was pushed open from the outside.

They were the handlers Zhou Zhengyang had assigned in advance.

They took full control of the hospital and quickly removed all medical staff from the emergency room, clearing the entire area.

Several staff members stood tall and solemnly bowed to Su Ming inside the room.

"Reporting to the leader, the scene is now under control. Please provide further instructions."

Su Ming waved his hand: "You all go down first, and don't let anyone into the emergency room."

He paused for a moment, then asked, "When will Lao Zhou and Chen Zhiwei arrive?"

The operator stood ramrod straight and answered loudly, "Reporting to the leader, Director Zhou and Dr. Chen are expected to arrive in two hours."

Xu Qinghe sketched in the remote Nanxian County, more than 800 kilometers away from Beijing.

The incident happened suddenly; no one expected Xu Qinghe to have an accident so suddenly, and there was simply no time to react.

"Okay, go ahead."

The door was gently closed.

Su Ming's gaze fell on Xu Qinghe's broken body.

He raised his hand and softly uttered two words: "Rewind."

An invisible force of time instantly enveloped the entire body.

The hideous wounds on Xu Qinghe's body healed rapidly, and in just a few seconds, she was restored to a completely unharmed state.

This is a time rewind.

The electrocardiogram showed undulating waves again, and the clear sound of a heartbeat rang out again in the quiet room.

The body was intact and the vital signs were stable, but the person on the bed still had their eyes closed and showed no signs of waking up.

Su Ming frowned.

There are too many things I can't understand.

For example.

Xu Qinghe just died, so why hasn't the 2020 apocalypse ended?

For example.

He used time travel to bring her back to the state before the car accident, but why didn't she come back to life? Only her body survived.

"Is it because of the ability to hear minds?"

After much thought, Su Ming could only attribute the cause to Ting Xin.

This idealistic, conceptual-level ability may be even more terrifying than anyone anticipated.

Ordinary death cannot define Xu Qinghe at all; it can only mean that her physical body has died.

Two hours later, Zhou Zhengyang and Chen Zhiwei arrived at the hospital together.

Su Ming has moved Xu Qinghe to a private room.

When the two of them rushed over, they found that Yu Mengnian had already arrived and was now standing quietly on one side of the ward.

After bowing to Yu Mengnian, Zhou Zhengyang's gaze fell on Xu Qinghe, who was lying on the bed.

She looked serene, her face flushed, and her chest rose and fell steadily with her breathing.

She looks like she's asleep.

"Your Majesty, have you saved her life?"

Immediately, Zhou Zhengyang's pupils trembled violently, and his gaze toward Su Ming was filled with extreme awe, as if he were looking up at a god.

On his way there, he received news that Xu Qinghe had died despite all efforts to save him.

However, when he arrived, Xu Qinghe was lying on the bed unharmed.

In Zhou Zhengyang's eyes, only a god could possess the power to reverse life and death.

But Su Ming shook his head: "No."

"I only saved her body."

These words stunned Zhou Zhengyang. His face was blank, and he asked with a puzzled expression, "Body?"

"Could it be that the soul has vanished?"

Chen Zhiwei, who was standing to one side, did not ask any questions. She was bending over to check the data of all the monitoring instruments in the ward.

All vital signs and physical indicators were normal, perfectly matching the state of a living person, but the person was lying in bed and could not be woken up no matter how much they were called.

After a moment, Chen Zhiwei straightened up, his expression solemn, and slowly uttered four words: "The abyss of the human heart."

She looked up at everyone and explained.

"The abyss of the human heart was born because of her power."

"Her physical death only means that her soul has broken free from the body's constraints, not that it has dissipated."

Therefore, the ultimate destination of her soul must be the abyss of the human heart.

Prior to this, the scientific community had never had conclusive evidence to prove the existence of the soul.

In mainstream understanding, the so-called soul is self-awareness.

After a person dies, self-awareness does not disappear immediately, but gradually dissipates.

This process of dissipation is defined by some as an out-of-body experience.

But it remains just a theory, because no instrument can capture the human spirit.

The concept of the soul has always remained just a theoretical conjecture.

However, since the cataclysmic year of 1996, and with the confirmation from multiple sources such as Yu Mengnian, who can cultivate immortality in dreams, it has become clear that...

Even Chen Zhiwei tacitly accepted the idea that humans possess a soul.

When an ordinary person's soul leaves the body, the vast majority will naturally dissipate into the world and cannot last long.

Only those souls with extremely strong obsessions can remain in the world until they are transformed into ghosts.

Bai Xinglan is in this situation.

But even ghosts need a vessel, otherwise they will eventually perish.

"No wonder."

"No wonder I felt something was missing after checking so much data."

Chen Zhiwei's eyes lit up, and she couldn't contain her excitement.

She found a breakthrough.

"According to the data I previously verified, the number of deaths on Earth has been rising year by year in recent years."

"I previously thought that the reason was that society was developing too fast, which led to excessive pressure on people, and that the speed of information dissemination was too fast after the popularization of the Internet."

"But now it seems that it's not just that."

She spoke faster and with increasing certainty.

"In recent years, numerous cults have emerged around the world, with varying doctrines and different evil gods they worship."

"I strongly suspect that these cult members may have all been harassed by Him."

"He is formless and shapeless, without a fixed form."

"Once He takes on a physical form, it must be born from human imagination."

"Perhaps He is no longer the same person at this point."

"In fact, there are many kinds."

"This 'He' has many anthropomorphic forms."

"They all exist in the abyss of the human heart."

The more Chen Zhiwei spoke, the brighter his eyes became: "The abyss of the human heart cannot directly interfere with the real world, but it can subtly influence the course of reality."

"In other words..."

She immediately turned to Zhou Zhengyang and said, "Now, contact all countries around the world and issue the highest level of warning. Launch a full-scale attack to wipe out all cults on Earth. Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free."

"As long as the roots of faith of all cults are destroyed, their form in the abyss of the human heart will collapse and dissipate."

"From this day forward, the abyss of the human heart will be officially defined as a subspace of emotional mapping."

"A special dimensional space constructed from human negative emotions, evil thoughts, and delusions."

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhou Zhengyang immediately turned around and contacted all parties.

This was also the first step Chen Zhiwei took in launching a counterattack against Him.

By interfering with reality and severing all their mappings in the subspace, it is equivalent to breaking their hand that interferes with Earth.

As for what chain reaction it will trigger, Chen Zhiwei is not sure.

But the most urgent and crucial task right now is to find Xu Qinghe's missing soul.

Her soul resides in the subspace.

Someone needs to venture into the subspace and find her soul.

This person must be Su Ming.

Only by blurring Su Ming's boundaries can the barrier between subspace and real space be broken down.

"I'll go too." Yu Mengnian, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up, her tone firm.

Chen Zhiwei shook her head and explained, "Niannian, you can't go."

"You must stay on Earth to oversee the situation and deal with any unforeseen events that may occur."

"Besides," she said, her gaze darkening as she revealed a deeper concern.

"I suspect that there exist emotional reflections of all of us in the subspace."

"It's not just you."

"Both Lao Zhou and I may have corresponding counterparts."

"Only Su Ming has no mapping body in the subspace."

Chen Zhiwei looked at Su Ming, pondered for a moment, and then added, "Even if there is one, it's 11-year-old Su Ming."

Of course, this was just a bold guess by Chen Zhiwei.

No one knows the specifics of what subspace is.

The only thing we know is that it has been quietly growing for sixteen years.

After saying that, she solemnly instructed Su Ming again: "Xu Qinghe's current body can serve as a vaguely defined location."

"But once you step into the subspace, if you want to come back, you must find Xu Qinghe's soul to reposition yourself."

"Everything that happens after Earth will be reflected in the subspace."

"If you think the situation is too serious, then just annihilate Xu Qinghe's soul and sever this doomsday line."

Even Chen Zhiwei at this moment was prepared for the worst.

"And one more thing," Chen Zhiwei spoke again, "if you are certain that a reflection of me exists in the subspace."

"Please, please don't come looking for me."

Here, Chen Zhiwei revealed her true feelings for the first time.

She said, "Su Ming, I have never told anyone that deep down I have always harbored the idea of ​​becoming one of them."

"Therefore, if I am in the subspace, she is in extreme danger, and you must never get close."

This is not a question, but a statement made with absolute certainty.
