Oh no! I'm surrounded by female ghosts!

Chapter 230 Two Overlapping "Six Years"

"Doomsday Line?"

Yu Mengnian stared at Su Ming suspiciously, her sharp eyebrows slightly raised, as if she were scrutinizing a liar who was spouting nonsense.

"I did have a natural lack of emotional intelligence."

"But as evil thoughts erupted in this world, they actually filled the emotional void in me. Now my emotions and desires are far more complete than those of ordinary people."

"I know Xu Qinghe, the one you're talking about."

"I have fragments of memories about her."

Yu Mengnian recalled, "The source of this evil catastrophe that swept the world was her."

Yu Mengnian knew a lot about Xu Qinghe's personal background.

Moreover, the one she knew happened to be Xu Qinghe's most original life trajectory.

According to Yu Mengnian.

On the day Xu Qinghe turned eighteen, she killed her parents with her own hands, broke free from the shackles that had bound her for more than ten years, and ushered in her so-called "new life".

After committing the crime, she acted as if nothing had happened, packed her bags, and went to many places she had always wanted to go but could not.

When she was arrested, she did not resist at all; on the contrary, she cooperated very well.

Yu Mengnian also has the video of the police interrogating Xu Qinghe at the time.

Su Ming had seen this video.

The doomsday scenario in 2019 was shown to him by Zhou Zhengyang.

Now, the person showing it to me has changed to Yu Mengnian.

In the video footage, the police officer, with a grave expression, looked at the girl in front of him and asked, "Why did you choose to kill your parents?"

The girl had a big smile on her face, and her relaxed demeanor was almost innocent.

She said, "Because when dolls grow up, they should become independent."

The policeman frowned: "Independence is no excuse for murder."

The girl shook her head: "I will never be able to be independent unless I cut the strings in their hands."

"There are many places I want to go and many things I want to do. My parents won't let go, and I'll never be able to leave them."

Every word in the video was exactly the same as the scene in Su Ming's memory.

Yu Mengnian's voice continued to echo through the ruins.

"After that, she was arrested and imprisoned in Unsan Women's Prison."

"When she was nineteen, she vanished into thin air in a high-security prison."

"It was at the very moment she disappeared that the malice hidden within humanity suddenly erupted out of control."

"Following this, the apocalyptic war officially began."

"The ruins you see now are the result of that war."

"The real apocalyptic war began when someone lost control and launched a nuclear weapon."

"When the first nuclear bomb was launched, all order, reason, and checks and balances collapsed, and the whole world was instantly plunged into a quagmire of destruction."

"At this point, sixteen years had passed since that war."

"Over the past sixteen years, the originally intangible and intangible evil thoughts of human nature have become completely materialized, scattered in every corner of the world, and transformed into countless traps of desire that tempt people to fall into depravity."

"And these eerie, wandering figures."

"They are long dead, but their remaining bodies and obsessions persist, driven by unyielding evil thoughts and desires, they wander endlessly in the ruins."

According to Yu Mengnian's account.

After the apocalyptic war, less than two percent of the world's population survived.

The rest either perished in the war or were consumed by rampant desires, turning into distorted monsters who lost themselves.

"this?"

Su Ming locked his eyes.

He was momentarily confused about which 2020 was the real world.

In the year 2020 that he had entered before, the world was as peaceful as ever, Xu Qinghe's life was going smoothly, and Yu Mengnian was exactly the same as he remembered.

Logically speaking, that should be the real 2020.

The problem is that Xu Qinghe's personal information has changed drastically in the real world.

Instead, Chen Zhiwei defined it as an emotional reflection subspace, where Xu Qinghe's real life experience appeared.

This makes this desolate and barren post-apocalyptic ruin look more like the real doomsday scenario of 2020.

As for Yu Mengnian's personality change, she has just explained it.

She was born with a lack of emotions, but the evil thoughts of the apocalypse filled the void in her emotions, making her an exceptionally emotional person.

This was exactly what she longed for.

"I believe you."

Yu Mengnian said seriously to Su Ming, "Otherwise, come with me and ask Chen Zhiwei."

Su Ming immediately waved his hand.

"no."

He clearly remembered that when he stepped into the subspace, Chen Zhiwei solemnly warned him: "If I am in the subspace, she is in extreme danger. You must not get close."

Speaking of Chen Zhiwei.

After carefully considering his words, Su Ming asked, "Chen Zhiwei, how are you now?"

Yu Mengnian's eyes held a strange look, but she still answered truthfully.

"She's perfectly fine."

"They're holed up in the lab all day long, I don't even know what they're researching."

"When I was feeling emotionally distressed, she would always be around me."

"Now that I've recovered emotionally, she's actually keeping her distance from me."

Su Ming remained silent.

He, however, thought so.

Chen Zhiwei deliberately kept his distance from Yu Mengnian, mostly to protect her.

After all, she harbored a desire to become one of them.

what.

and many more.

A fatal doubt popped into Su Ming's mind.

He quickly asked, "You said that sixteen years have passed since the end of the war."

Yu Mengnian nodded: "Yes, that's right."

"What year is it now?"

Without hesitation, Yu Mengnian said, "It's the 16th year of the Gregorian calendar, which should be 2020 in the old Gregorian calendar."

The contradiction of timing made Su Ming's heart sink.

"You previously said that Xu Qinghe went to prison at the age of eighteen and disappeared in prison at the age of nineteen."

"But Xu Qinghe was born in 2001. She was eighteen in 2019 and nineteen in 2020."

Su Ming remembered this very clearly.

When Zhou Zhengyang retrieved Xu Qinghe's information, she had just spent six months in Baiyun Women's Prison.

"yes."

"Is there a problem?" Yu Mengnian blinked, looking completely puzzled, utterly oblivious to the flaw in the argument.

Su Ming opened his palm, his tone revealing undisguised confusion: "Don't you think the timing is completely off?"

"Xu Qinghe disappeared in 2020, followed by an outbreak of evil thoughts and the start of the apocalyptic war."

"If we calculate based on time, today, sixteen years from now, should be 2036."

Judging from Yu Mengnian's expression, it wasn't that she didn't understand, but rather that she subconsciously ignored it.

No matter how meticulously Su Ming dissected the situation, Yu Mengnian remained unmoved.

It wasn't that she couldn't understand; rather, it was as if some invisible force had altered her perception, completely erasing her concept of specific time and leaving only the established conclusion of "sixteen years after the war."

"Sixteen years."

Su Ming lowered his head and pondered, his mind filled with doubts.

In the real world, Chen Zhiwei also mentioned sixteen years.

She calculated that since Xu Qinghe awakened her hearing in 2004, the subspace had grown for a full sixteen years.

The sixteen years that Yu Mengnian is talking about now is the time after Xu Qinghe disappeared and the end of the apocalyptic war.

What is the connection between these two overlapping "sixteen years"?

Su Ming was completely baffled and could only suppress this question in his heart for the time being.

He looked up and continued to ask, "Where are Cheng Yao, Jiang Qian, and Zhou Zhengyang?"

"Is he still alive?"

Yu Meng recalled for a moment and then slowly began to speak.

"On the day her evil thoughts erupted, Cheng Yao became an Awakened One."

"Her ability is very special; it's called Killing Intent Field."

"The stronger her killing intent, the greater the power she will unleash."

"I heard from others that on the day the catastrophe struck, she was holding a press conference to promote her new drama."

"After the evil thoughts erupted, the fans at the scene went out of control and rioted. She was in a desperate situation and awakened on the verge of life and death, turning the entire press conference into a bloody killing field."

Su Ming raised an eyebrow: "Cheng Yao wasn't disfigured?"

Yu Mengnian shook her head: "No."

In other words, in the normal timeline, Cheng Yao's disfigurement occurred after Xu Qinghe disappeared.

After Xu Qinghe disappeared, the apocalypse arrived immediately, before Cheng Yao even had a chance to be disfigured.

In other words, only when the doomsday scenario corresponding to Xu Qinghe is destroyed will Cheng Yao's fate of being disfigured unfold as scheduled.

Where is Jiang Qian?

Yu Mengnian frowned and shook her head: "I've never heard of this name."

"He's most likely dead."

"Zhou Zhengyang also died, on the second day after the outbreak of the war."

Su Ming couldn't help but sigh.

I've asked everything I needed to ask.

He definitely can't go see Chen Zhiwei.

The only person I can see now is Cheng Yao.

As for the doomsday line in 2020.

Well, how should I put it?

There are too many doubts, contradictions everywhere, and a broken logical loop, making it impossible to sort out.

He could only acquiesce to the fact that this was their doing.
