Oh no! I'm surrounded by female ghosts!

"That's about it."

"Humanity was wiped out, Xu Qinghe died, the mission was completed, and then I came back."

"I didn't actually sever this doomsday line."

That's it.

Wen Qi looked up, stretched out her hand, and uttered two words: "Give it to me."

Su Ming was taken aback, then said shyly in a low voice, "Now?"

"That's not a good idea, everyone's here."

Wen Qi poked his head and said irritably, "What are you thinking about?"

"I'm referring to Chen Zhiwei's notebook."

Su Ming felt a little guilty, but still stubbornly denied it, saying, "No."

"I've been in subspace the whole time and haven't seen Chen Zhiwei."

"After the mission was completed, I returned directly."

Seeing that Wen Qi hadn't said anything for a long time, he just quietly looked at him.

Su Ming held out for a few minutes, but in the end, he succumbed to those deep and affectionate eyes.

He took out the notebook from his backpack and asked with a puzzled look, "School beauty, how did you know?"

Wen Qi took the notebook, then smiled and tapped her forehead.

Su Ming didn't understand this move at first.

However, while Wen Qi was looking at the notebook, he secretly activated his spiritual vision and brought up Wen Qi's information page.

[Ghost School Beauty]

Name: Wen Qi

[Level: Destruction]

Cause of death: Sacrifice

[Requirement: Taboo Knowledge]

[Memory: Complete]

[Affection Level: Devoted to You (Full)]

[Background Story ①: Absolutely Number One]

[Background Story ②: The World Ends]

[Background Story 3: Reversing Cause and Effect]

Wen Qi's memories are now complete.

The long-sealed third backstory has finally been unlocked.

Su Ming had heard the phrase "reversing cause and effect" many times and fully understood its meaning.

The original world line disappeared.

The four doomsday lines merge into a closed loop, regardless of their order, all for the sake of obtaining a single result.

The result is that Su Ming arrived on Blue Star as a human from the very beginning.

Everything that followed was a process of filling in the gaps, all in order to solidify this outcome.

No wonder Wen Qi knew that Chen Zhiwei had left behind a notebook.

In 2020, she was seated on the throne of the heavens.

She knew everything that happened along that doomsday line and what it left behind.

So, Su Ming glanced at Xu Qinghe again.

【Cursed Doll】

Name: Xu Qinghe

[Level: Disaster]

Cause of death: Annihilation

[Requirement: New Students]

[Memory: Complete]

[Affection Level: Always by Your Side (Max)]

[Background Story ①: The Closed-Off Self]

[Background Story ②: The Fish in the Tank]

[Background Story 3: Reversing Cause and Effect]

Su Ming frowned slightly.

Xu Qinghe's unlocked backstory ③ is exactly the same as Wen Qi's.

Upon closer reflection, it becomes understandable.

In the 2020 year-end daily timeline, Xu Qinghe and Wen Qi coexist, one being His position and the other being a pseudo-His manifestation.

But Su Ming remembered Wen Qi saying that the doomsday line was actually four lines overlapping.

The four doomsday lines of 2003, 2012, 2019, and 2020 connect to form a closed loop.

So.

Su Ming then looked at Shen Wanyu beside him.

Shen Wanyu's memories are now complete, and the third backstory is "reversing cause and effect".

Then look at Tangtang in the kitchen, busy preparing food.

Tangtang's memories are now complete, and background story ③ is also a reversal of cause and effect.

Finally, Su Ming's spiritual vision landed on Bai Xinglan.

Ghostly Female Spirit

Name: Bai Xinglan

[Level: Disaster]

Cause of death: Unknown

[Requirements: Unknown]

[Memory: 56%]

[Affection Level: Acceptance (300/300)]

[Background Story ①: Silent Perseverance]

[Background Story ②: Not Yet Unlocked]

The task to increase Bai Xinglan's favorability has not yet been completed.

Su Ming needs to survive in her hands for seven days.

Seven days later, her favorability rating will increase, at which point her doomsday storyline will be unlocked.

Fortunately, she doesn't have a backstory.

This also means that, starting with Bai Xinglan, the timeline returns to normal, and there is no longer a need to forcibly reverse cause and effect.

At this time, Wen Qi and Shen Wanyu also finished reading Chen Zhiwei's notebook.

Wen Qi tapped the tabletop lightly with his fingertips.

After a moment's thought, she asked, "What's your physical strength now?"

Su Ming looked at his personal page and answered truthfully, "More than eight thousand."

"Once Qinghe officially enters the Destruction level, she should be able to give me back more than a thousand points of physical strength."

"With the help of the headless sister, I am confident that my physical strength will break through 10,000 before entering the next doomsday line."

Shen Wanyu's help to him had long been ingrained in his very being.

The ultimate symbiosis, combined with her absolute self-control, allows Su Ming's physical strength to continuously increase without limit.

What's even more perplexing is...

As long as Su Ming doesn't die, she won't die.

Even if she dies, she can be reborn from Su Ming's body.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she and Su Ming are one body with two souls.

The exclusive anchor point is not just a name; it's something else entirely.

"However," Su Ming suddenly lowered his voice and said, "you should all know about the City of Eternal Silence in the Deep Sea."

"Once I break the world's limit ahead of schedule and end the descent of the gods, the next one to appear... will be Chen Zhiwei."

Now that all four of them have their memories intact.

Therefore, there is no need to hide the secret about Chen Zhiwei anymore.

"When the world first updated, we, along with Chen Zhiwei and Yu Mengnian, fell into the first level of the abyss."

"Yu Mengnian became a mountain of flesh and blood, bringing forth the gods."

"As for Chen Zhiwei, she was taken away by the Twisted Temple."

"We've seen that temple before."

Speaking of the Twisted Temple, Su Ming suddenly thought of the large decorative item he had dug up from the first level of the abyss: Twisted Echoes.

It was a fragment that broke off from the Twisted Temple.

But will this kind of thing really just fall off so easily?

Even if it falls off, how could it happen to be dug out by itself?

Therefore, he strongly suspected that this was left behind by Chen Zhiwei.

According to Su Ming's understanding.

When humanity first ascended to His throne, it was still able to retain a certain degree of humanity.

Wen Qi was in that situation at the time.

But it won't last long.

Wen Qi saw through Su Ming's thoughts and said, "That's precisely why we need to break the world's limits as soon as possible and end the descent of the gods."

"Chen Zhiwei still retains a sliver of humanity."

"If we drag this out until her humanity is completely extinguished, do you really think that even if we reach the eighth rank, we can withstand the second cleansing mechanism?"

"The eternally silent city in the deep sea is just the beginning of the second cleanup mechanism."

"Even if we manage to suppress it, what then?"

"The reason why only the City of Eternal Silence in the Deep Sea appeared in 2020 is because they judged that this city was enough to wipe out human civilization, and there was no need to resort to other cleansing methods."

These words sent chills down Su Ming's spine.

The logic is simple yet cold: if a slingshot can kill birds, they would not need to use bows and arrows, let alone wield deadly hunting rifles.

The methods of cleansing in higher dimensions are far more terrifying than they imagined.

"Therefore, we must not only not delay, but also race against time."

"The distorted echo must have been deliberately left behind by Chen Zhiwei."

"It allows you to see the world through their eyes."

"Based on my judgment, the distorted echo was left behind by Chen Zhiwei to target herself."

"When the descent of the gods ends and she descends, the Twisted Echoes will surely be of great use."

"Su Ming, do you still remember Chen Zhiwei from 2003?"

Wen Qi's reminder caused Su Ming's pupils to contract slightly.

At that time, Chen Zhiwei, despite the most terrifying cognitive dissonance, managed to leave an extremely obvious flaw in the seemingly unsolvable ability he had obtained from the world's giant baby.

Looking back now, given Chen Zhiwei's ability to emerge from any point in time, if she wanted to leave, no one could kill her.

Even Su Ming now can't do anything to her.

"School beauty sister".

"You mean, when Chen Zhiwei arrives with the second cleanup mechanism, he might deliberately leave loopholes for us?"

Wen Qi nodded.

"Did you understand the fairy tale left behind by Chen Zhiwei?"

Su Ming nodded quickly and proudly shared his understanding.

After hearing Su Ming's explanation, Wen Qi's expression became subtle.

Are you sure that's what she meant?

This rhetorical question left Su Ming completely bewildered.

Could it be that Chen Zhiwei didn't mean that?

Instead of defeating them, we will use the doomsday line as a foundation to actively change 2026.

It was precisely for this reason that Su Ming decided to establish the Abnormal Containment Center.

"Then..." Su Ming hesitated and asked in a low voice, "School beauty, what is your understanding?"

Wen Qi smiled and leaned closer to him, blinking gently: "Su Ming, actually your understanding isn't wrong."

"There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes; everyone's interpretation and thinking are different."

"I was actually quite surprised that you thought of this, because this is also part of my future plans."

"So," Wen Qi affectionately patted Su Ming's face, "independent thinking is a very good thing."

"Human civilization is so brilliant and vibrant precisely because of the collision and fusion of countless different ideas, which keeps it alive and vibrant."

"Keep it up."

"However," Wen Qi changed the subject, "the anthropomorphization of the pollution source needs to be modified."

"Anthropomorphism represents wisdom, but wisdom can generate many variables and carries significant risks."

"Therefore, if laws are to be made, they should be made to visualize the sources of pollution."

"In this way, all sources of pollution will conform to themselves and take on the form most suitable for them, rather than being confined to a human-shaped framework."

"And the most suitable concrete representations of their forms can actually help us understand them better."

Su Ming exclaimed inwardly, "No wonder she's the school beauty!"

By simply changing two words, the definition was completely transformed, directly avoiding countless unknown risks.

He had a premonition that the word "concrete" might even determine the future direction.
