Oh no! I'm surrounded by female ghosts!

"Transitional space".

Upon hearing Bai Xinglan's guess, the crowd began to discuss among themselves.

Someone raised their hand and asked, "Since this is a transitional space..."

"Does this mean that besides things from Earth, there are also things here that come from them?"

Bai Xinglan nodded: "That's right."

"But there's one thing."

"We recognize objects from Earth, but we have no way of recognizing their things."

One sentence silenced the entire room.

Everyone was pondering what Bai Xinglan had said.

No matter how you think about it, that's the truth.

Even if they encountered something from their dimension, they wouldn't be able to perceive it.

After a brief silence, Bai Xinglan spoke again.

"The value of this space goes far beyond this."

"We can observe the blue planet from here, and we can also observe them from the opposite direction."

These words immediately sparked a surge of discussion within the room.

Su Ming did not participate in their discussion.

(Please remember the website ①⓪①ⓚⓚⓢ.ⓒⓞⓜ for the fastest chapter updates)

He was thinking more deeply at this moment.

The concept of transition space was proposed by Bai Xinglan.

Such transitional spaces are not limited to the back room.

If Su Ming chooses a transitional space to confront them.

Which one should I choose?

Yu Mengnian's dream world should be one of the observation channels that they care about most.

However, because they lack imagination, they are completely unable to understand the dream world.

The apocalypse, with the gods descending to earth, seems more like an experiment by them.

What guides the descent of the gods is the imagination of all mankind and the abilities of Yu Mengnian. They do not interfere much; on the contrary, they have to step in to stop it to prevent the experiment from going out of control.

Therefore, the dream world can be ruled out for now.

The eternally silent deep-sea city of the Sea of ​​Memory—this can be confirmed as the work of their direct interference.

The purpose is to stifle the imagination of all humankind.

This city must never be born.

Therefore, the Sea of ​​Memories is also temporarily excluded.

Subspace is the concrete manifestation of the most primal desires and distractions in the human mind.

That is the place where they can most easily perceive and infiltrate.

However, after Xu Qinghe became the character he had raised, the subspace became the most special space.

They can no longer observe humanity through subspace.

However, Xu Qinghe can use subspace to observe them in reverse.

When Xu Qinghe was mentioned, Su Ming's gaze darkened slightly.

She has always remained silent, even when it comes to her doomsday scenario, she chooses to operate quietly from behind the scenes.

The secrets buried in her heart are probably more numerous and heavier than anyone can imagine.

Su Ming even had his doubts.

Xu Qinghe had actually been silently observing them using the subspace, especially herself before she descended in human form and took their place.

But ultimately...

Whether it's the subspace, the sea of ​​memories, or the dream world, they are all transitional spaces constructed with humanity at their core.

Only the rear chamber could possibly be a transitional space that they constructed with themselves at its core.

Even without my intervention, LH16 flight would have inadvertently entered the rear compartment on this doomsday route in 2016.

Bai Xinglan, who has been deeply involved in the spiritual realm, should be the first human to understand the transitional space.

Or perhaps, Bai Xinglan found a way to observe them from the back room, and so 2016 came to an end.

The end of the world in 2016 will inevitably be closely related to the harem.

Besides.

Su Ming had another question.

With Wen Qi's intelligence, she would surely understand the special nature of the fifth doomsday line.

This doomsday scenario will break the world's upper limit, causing knowledge from outside the world to descend with him at its core.

Why didn't Wen Qi give him any instructions before he entered the 2016 end-of-day timeline?

While Su Ming was deep in thought, the discussion among the group had already ended.

They agreed to first thoroughly explore the back room.

We'll discuss this further once we've gathered enough clues.

After everyone left, Bai Xinglan nudged the lost-in-thought Su Ming, waving her hand in front of his eyes: "What were you thinking about so intently?"

"Everyone was discussing this just now, but you didn't say a word the whole time."

Su Ming snapped out of his daze, looked up, and asked in a questioning tone.

"Senior, I'm wondering why Wen Qi didn't tell me anything before I came to the 2016 doomsday timeline."

"She even gave me paper stars for the daily charts at the end of 2019 and 2020."

"However, the special significance and importance of the 2016 doomsday candlestick pattern is even more important than the previous four doomsday candlestick patterns."

Bai Xinglan had heard the name Wen Qi many times.

In Su Ming's account, Wen Qi was practically a god-like figure.

She forcefully reversed the original world line by turning cause into effect, truly pulling Su Ming from His position into the human world.

There was another big shot named Chen Zhiwei who was on par with her.

But this big shot was recently buried in the book of names.

Bai Xinglan frowned slightly, looking at Su Ming with suspicion.

"Didn't Wen Qi and Chen Zhiwei tell you?"

Su Ming asked, puzzled, "What did you say?"

Bai Xinglan did not answer, but pursed her lips, her expression hesitant and complicated.

She was pondering whether or not she should speak.

After a long while, she shook her head.

"Since they haven't said anything, it's not convenient for me to say anything either."

Upon hearing this, Su Ming immediately became anxious and quickly grabbed Bai Xinglan's hand: "Senior, my dear sister, please tell me."

"Since you noticed it, and they didn't even mention it."

"Does this mean that they tacitly allow you to say this, but they cannot?"

Bai Xinglan really couldn't do anything about Su Ming.

She hesitated for a long time before finally nodding.

"First, bring out Chen Zhiwei's notebook."

Chen Zhiwei left behind many notebooks.

She left behind notebooks on the first four doomsday routes.

Bai Xinglan wanted to look at the record book of the last daily line from the end of 2020.

This book records the most resolute self-sacrifice of human civilization.

The pages of the book slowly turned, and Bai Xinglan pointed to two lines of text.

These two lines are very simple.

The high-ranking figures in the Dragon Kingdom have actually been paying attention to this matter all along.

They made their final decision in just forty-five minutes.

Su Ming stared at the two lines of text, his brows furrowed.

In his understanding.

This is the spirit accumulated over five thousand years of Chinese history; it is their resolute will that led them to make the most uncompromising and transformative choice.

But Bai Xinglan said, "Based on my understanding of human nature, this is simply unreasonable."

"There is absolutely no way they could make this all-or-nothing decision in 45 minutes."

"The selfish desires and self-interest of the human heart are a thousand times more complex than you can imagine."

"The higher the rank of a person, the more they value their life."

"So, this is a contradiction."

Bai Xinglan paused briefly, then said again, "There is another possibility."

"Because I don't understand what happens when imagination is locked down."

"Human beings' deepest fear is the fear of the unknown."

"Perhaps their imaginations have been locked down, so they are unable to imagine the fear after death."

Therefore, they don't feel much about destroying civilization or destroying themselves.

Su Ming was deeply shaken, and his pupils trembled slightly.

After hearing Bai Xinglan's explanation, he looked at those two short lines again and felt a deep sense of doubt.

Just like Bai Xinglan just said.

In that situation, you can't understand what they were thinking at the time.

But there's a sense of déjà vu that's absurd and illogical.

"Let's put those two sentences aside for now."

"Su Ming," Bai Xinglan called his name solemnly, "Since the end of 2020, have you noticed that everything has been going too smoothly?"

"It seems that everything is developing in the most perfect and ideal direction."

Su Ming lowered his head in deep thought.

Scenes from the past flashed through my mind.

Since his return in 2020, Wen Qi's scheme of turning cause into effect has succeeded.

The flesh and blood mountain range also stopped its endless proliferation.

The doomsday scenario has been contained, and a new era has begun.

The Anomaly Management Bureau was incorporated into the newly established anomaly containment system.

Wen Qi rarely stands on the balcony.

She became busy, attending meetings frequently to improve the system of the anomalous containment facility.

He then formulated the Old Laws, which caused all sources of pollution to descend upon Earth in a tangible form, ending the chaos of covert infiltration.

After entering the end of 2016, the daily chart...

The situation has become more stable, even more so than the previous four doomsday lines.

All the contaminants that materialized and descended upon Earth were successfully contained and imprisoned by Bureau 749.

The biggest change is that Yu Mengnian remembers herself.

She knew she would arrive; she had been waiting for her in Dajiang City.

After that, he saw Chen Zhiwei off.

Chen Zhiwei's traces were etched into the book of names, and also laid a humanistic anchor for His future self.

Then, he broke the world record on flight LH16.

At the most dangerous moment when endless knowledge flooded in, Bai Xinglan stepped forward, caught the thread of his humanity, and stabilized his condition.

Subsequently, driven by a primal impulse that blurred boundaries, he led LH16 into the rear chamber, where he learned of the transitional space through which they observed humanity.

Everything went smoothly, every step was perfect, and there were almost no setbacks.

The biggest question is that, given Wen Qi's wisdom and vision, he must understand the danger of the fifth doomsday line.

This danger doesn't refer to the end of the world, but to Su Ming himself.

The price of breaking the world's limits could very well lead to Su Ming losing his humanity and returning to his former position.

Wen Qi was not included in the daily chart at the end of 2016.

What makes her so sure that Bai Xinglan can pull out her own human instincts in time and then stabilize her state?

It's important to understand that the situation was extremely dangerous at the time.

Su Ming even relied on his last shred of humanity to issue a warning to all of human civilization, while leaving behind the indomitable will of "Wait for me to come home".

He was prepared to fight to the death, but the result was even smoother than he had imagined.

Bai Xinglan, who was standing to the side, revealed her ultimate guess.

"Su Ming, I suspect you're still stuck in the 2020 doomsday scenario."

"It is in a state of not yet being fully born."

"Everything we see now is a continuation of your vision."

"You search for the most ideal and perfect ending among countless hopeless endings, so everything goes extremely smoothly."

"You said before that because of Wen Qi, the Ring of Destiny has no end in sight."

Bai Xinglan gazed at him intently.

"Just because you can't see the Ring of Destiny doesn't mean you can't see it."

What was Su Ming's state at that time?

When the city of eternal silence appeared, it resonated with him, and the first cleansing mechanism that had been dormant within him for a long time began to awaken.

However, this cleansing mechanism is not controlled by the Ring of Destiny, but by Su Ming.

So he stepped through the Gate of the Old Days, preparing to be born as a true human being.

Only in this way can this cleanup mechanism be rendered inactive again.

"Could it be that everything we have now is fake?" He looked at Bai Xinglan in disbelief.

Bai Xinglan shook her head, her tone incredibly firm: "It's not fake, it's real."

"However, its trajectory is one where you personally select the best and most ideal ending from countless worst possible outcomes."

"So Wen Qi won't remind you."

"So these two sentences in Chen Zhiwei's notebook, whether reasonable or not, did indeed happen."

"Su Ming".

Bai Xinglan cupped his head in her hands and said gently, "We are moving towards the best possible ending."

"Everything will get better and better."

She smiled brightly.

But deep in his eyes lay a trace of unease that no one noticed.

What if they can't even bear this best possible outcome, which they've traded everything for?

But this is already the best it can be.
