Oh no! I'm surrounded by female ghosts!

Lanyue Residential Area, Pingjiang City.

Su Ming lay in bed, already fast asleep.

Today's experience was nothing short of magical.

From the moment he took leave in the morning, his mind had been operating at an extremely high level.

Now, I can finally get a good night's sleep.

The master bedroom was quiet, but the living room was full of people.

This impromptu gathering was at Wen Qi's invitation.

She not only invited top awakened individuals like Yu Mengnian and Shen Wanyu, but also Cheng Yao.

According to her...

Cheng Yao has already set her sights on Su Ming. Rather than letting her hide in the shadows, she'd rather bring her into the open.

At this moment, everyone sitting quietly in the living room was extremely terrifying in terms of both status and power.

It was so terrifying that even Zhou Zhengyang wasn't qualified to participate in this gathering.

After a long silence, Wen Qi tapped the table and said first, "Bai Xinglan is at the Lychee Hotel."

"I don't dare go into that hotel."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present turned to look at him, their eyes filled with shock.

Even Wen Qi didn't dare to enter the hotel.

Immediately, they all began to use their own methods to investigate the Lychee Hotel.

The hotel's revival is shrouded in many strange ways.

Judging from its aura alone, it wasn't as terrifying as Wen Qi had described.

There are also records about the Lychee Hotel in the files of the Bureau of Abnormalities.

The hotel is currently classified as extremely dangerous.

Seven years ago, in 2019, the hotel experienced a major fire.

The identities, information, and causes of death of all the victims in the fire were recorded clearly and without any doubt.

The bride's name is Liu Xinyu, and the groom's name is Wang Feiran.

Chen Zhiwei didn't speak, but instead pulled up the detailed file of one of the victims.

Tang Tang, female, 20 years old, a sophomore at Chang'an University of Architecture and Technology, majoring in interior design.

The file notes clearly state that the deceased was the bride Liu Xinyu's cousin, and that she designed and planned the entire wedding scene, setting, decorations, and theme.

Wedding theme: Eternal Love.

Shen Wanyu and Cheng Yao looked at the documents.

Based on the information, it's nothing special.

Why did Chen Zhiwei need to access the deceased's information?

Chen Zhiwei then explained, "Teacher's black hair can resonate with all things, thus allowing him to collect countless unknown information that ordinary people cannot access."

"The teacher has thoroughly investigated all the strange information about the Lychee Hotel."

"Only this one called Tangtang."

She paused, a hint of disbelief flashing in her eyes.

"The teacher could sense her presence, but couldn't understand it."

"All I can understand are the records in the files."

This is the biggest anomaly.

Even the most mysterious Xu Qinghe, Wen Qi was able to find out a thing or two about her and figure out her background.

But she couldn't understand this one named Tangtang.

The subtle information captured by the black hair resonance is very clear, unfolding before your eyes like black words on white paper. It can be replicated and recorded, but it is impossible to interpret.

This incomprehension stems from the fact that human cognition and brain logic are completely unable to bear this unknown, and can only instinctively block it out.

"So," Chen Zhiwei glanced at Wen Qi.

With Wen Qi's tacit approval, she uttered a guess that overturned everyone's understanding.

"The teacher suspects that our world is fake."

"Our entire world is actually some unknown dream."

"We are all dreamers."

"Niannian, you should understand dreams best, don't you think?"

Yu Mengnian raised her eyes and said, "Only the dreamer knows the dream clearly; the person in the dream can never truly understand it."

There are only two ways to wake up from this dream.

"The first type is where the dreamer wakes up on their own."

"The second method is to kill the dreamer in the dream."

"But if the dream lasts too long or has too many layers, the dreamer may also get lost in the dream."

"In this situation, even killing the person dreaming won't help."

"The dream will not collapse; it will continue to exist."

"Because when the dreamer is lost, death is no longer death, but a deeper state of deep sleep."

"The dreamer will not wake up, the dream will not end, and time has achieved eternity for the real world."

No one understands dreams better than Yu Mengnian.

Because her world of cultivation was woven by her own dreams.

Moreover, it has already begun to move closer to the second layer of the dream.

The first layer of the dream is a world of cultivation, where the flow of time differs from that of the real world by ten times.

The second layer of the dream is the celestial realm that Yu Mengnian is still working hard to weave.

The difference in flow rate between the celestial realm and the cultivation world is 365 times, which is what is meant by one day in heaven being equivalent to one year on earth.

In terms of conversion, the flow rate in the second layer of the dream world is 3650 times different from that in the real world.

The deeper the dream, the greater the difference in flow rate.

Once the dreamer becomes lost in the dream and falls into a deep sleep, she will appear in the deepest part of the dream.

This layer is also called the Dreamless Dreamland, where the time flow is infinitely different from that of the real world, equivalent to the eternity of time and space.

Cheng Yao chuckled softly, "I don't believe it."

She said she didn't believe it, but the horror in her eyes was impossible to hide.

She wanted to refute this absurd conjecture, but she couldn't offer any reason to refute it.

"Look at this."

Chen Zhiwei placed a video on the table.

That's a video of Bai Xinglan and Su Ming meeting yesterday.

In the scene, Bai Xinglan grips Su Ming's hand and shouts, "Kill me, kill me now, only you can kill me."

"Only when I die will it all end."

Immediately afterwards, a second video popped up, which was surveillance footage from the unfinished building.

After Bai Xinglan jumped from the fifth floor, she vanished like a bubble.

This is why Su Ming didn't see Bai Xinglan when he looked down from the fifth-floor window.

Shen Wanyu frowned, looked up and asked, "You believe that Bai Xinglan was the one dreaming?"

"Our world is actually Bai Xinglan's dream."

After a brief pause, she raised the most crucial point of contention: "But why did she say that only Su Ming could kill him?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze turned to Su Ming, who was sleeping in the master bedroom.

Chen Zhiwei gently shook her head.

In fact, this was also what she was wondering about.

Then, she turned her gaze to Lin Jiajia.

Lin Jiajia's talent for deduction and insight is no less than hers.

Most importantly, she has a very creative mind.

This is extremely rare.

Both Chen Zhiwei and Wen Qi possess extremely rigorous and meticulous thinking, focusing on the fundamentals and deducing step by step.

But Lin Jiajia is different; she can bypass this foundation and come up with conclusions that are completely illogical, even absurd.

After all, this girl is a homebody, and her way of thinking is completely different from that of normal people.

As expected, Lin Jiajia's plans were completely different from the others.

She focused on the word "back room".

She clenched her fists, her voice soft and slightly panicked, which instantly silenced the entire room.

"Um... um, I don't know what a back room is?"

"But since there is a back room, there must be a corresponding front hall."

"There must be a connecting medium between the back room and the front hall, perhaps a corridor or a door."

"However, I prefer the corridor."

"In this way, there is an order."

Lin Jiajia took a pen, leaned over the table, and started drawing on the paper.

She first drew a circle and wrote the words "front hall" inside it.

Then draw a long line and label it: Corridor.

At the end of the long line, the second circle is formed, and the pen marks: rear chamber.

After thinking for a moment, she drew another long line after the circle in the back room, creating a third blank circle, and wrote a question mark at the center of the third circle.

This is her understanding of the harem system.

An infinitely extending, nested spatial structure.

In theory, starting from the front hall, one can walk through the corridor into the back room, and continue forward to enter one unknown new space after another.

She didn't know if this space had an end.

But there are at least two spaces: a front hall and a rear room.

After finishing the drawing, she said weakly, "We might be in one of the circles, but I don't know which one."

This is quite an imaginative idea.

Chen Zhiwei understood Lin Jiajia's unspoken meaning.

No matter which space they are in, there must be a corridor.

This corridor leads outwards at one end and inwards at the other.

If they can find this corridor and the right direction, then they can get out, right?

Cheng Yao raised her hand to her forehead.

Even she, a ghost, felt that Lin Jiajia might have some serious mental illness.

It's utterly absurd to deduce an infinitely nested spatial theory based solely on the term "back room" without any evidence.

Shen Wanyu looked at the structural diagram on the paper and then glanced thoughtfully at Lin Jiajia.

Although this conclusion is unsupported, illogical, and extremely absurd, it is precisely this that makes it impossible to completely and utterly refute it.

She asked a question: "According to your theory, what are Bai Xinglan and Su Ming's identities within this spatial system?"

After pondering for a long time, Lin Jiajia cautiously voiced her bolder conjecture under Chen Zhiwei's encouraging gaze.

"Bai Xinglan must have come in from another dimension."

"She was a top-notch psychologist who had gone far in the fields of the mind and consciousness, and it is possible that she retained some memories from other dimensions."

"The constant conflict and tearing between the old and new memories led her to go insane and break down."

She then paused for several minutes before continuing.

"Su Ming may come from a more distant space."

"The one he wanted to kill was never Bai Xinglan of our world, but Bai Xinglan of the most distant dimension."

"Only when Bai Xinglan dies will all these spatial bubbles disappear."

"And then he can break free and return to the real world that truly belongs to him."

Cheng Yao's temples throbbed with pain.

She really wanted to reach out and strangle Lin Jiajia.

This guy dares to guess anything.

Even she, a ghost, thought it was getting more and more absurd.
