Oh no! I'm surrounded by female ghosts!

"School beauty, what is this fish saying?"

"Does it want a drink of water?"

In Su Ming's logical understanding.

If fish that have come ashore could talk, the most likely thing they would cry out would be: "Water, give me water!"

Or: "Ah, I can't breathe."

Wen Qi looked at Su Ming with an incomprehensible expression.

"You...were not affected?" Her voice carried a hint of surprise for the first time.

Despite her exceptional intelligence and vast knowledge stored in her memory bank.

It is also incomprehensible why Su Ming is completely immune to this kind of pollution that directly affects the bottom layer of consciousness and causes cognitive distortion.

Su Ming blinked his innocent big eyes and pointed at the mutated humanoid fish statue: "What is it saying?"

"I don't understand."

"School beauty, could you translate this for me?"

"I promise to study hard from now on."

Su Ming leaned closer to Wen Qi and poked her with a look of eager curiosity.

Wen Qi slapped Su Ming's hand away and sighed deeply.

Then, with a slight movement of his fingers, a strand of black hair instantly pierced into Su Ming's body.

The middle section of the black hair is bulging and moving in a regular pattern.

It felt as if something was being transmitted into his body through that strand of hair.

Seeing that Su Ming did not react, Wen Qi seemed to have made a decision.

laugh!laugh!laugh!

One strand of black hair after another pierced into Su Ming's body, frantically transmitting some unknown information to him.

The whispers in the space began to dissipate.

The deformed chunks of flesh in the sewer began to collapse, turning back into foul-smelling sewage.

The people, groaning in agony, lost consciousness and passed out completely.

For them, being in a coma is the greatest happiness at this moment.

One by one, the mutated animals died suddenly.

Su Ming finally reacted at this moment.

He frowned slightly, as if trying to understand something.

That is "knowledge" that cannot be described in any language.

It becomes part of his own cognitive system in a more direct and essential way.

This "knowledge" seems to be "alive".

The moment you "understand" it, it becomes an "instinctive cognition" of yours.

That was "knowledge" about flesh and blood proliferation.

It is about "knowledge" about how to break the inherent boundaries of biological forms.

As knowledge about flesh and blood proliferation increases.

Cracks have appeared on the surface of the deformed humanoid fish statue.

The mouth of the deformed humanoid fish statue is tightly closed.

It silently vanished within the sealed structure, like a bubble that was there one second and disappeared with a "poof" the next.

It's as if it never existed.

That's all.

Su Ming quickly approached the sealed structure and peered through the cracked walls, only to find it completely empty.

"Wasn't it said that sealed artifacts are indestructible?"

After staring at Su Ming for a long time, Wen Qi explained, "Knowledge cannot be destroyed, it can only be transferred."

Su Ming was stunned, then nervously pointed at himself: "School beauty, are you saying that the knowledge has been transferred into my body?"

"Is this the knowledge?"

He raised his right arm.

The muscles, skin, and bones in the arm instantly lost their original shape and began to swell, proliferate, and deform wildly.

In just two or three seconds, his right arm swelled into a terrifying giant arm nearly three meters long.

And his arms were covered in fish scales.

With a pinch of the five fingers, a bizarre fish head covered in sharp teeth was formed.

Su Ming's face turned somewhat pale.

This thing consumes a lot of mental energy.

Given his current mental resilience, this is the limit of what he can achieve.

However, Su Ming was very happy.

He smiled and said to Wen Qi, "Sister School Beauty, you're right, knowledge is power."

Wen Qi walked over, cupped Su Ming's head in her hands, and asked, "Any other feelings?"

"I think there aren't any more."

Then he looked down and murmured, "I just don't know if the corpus cavernosum can proliferate."

Wen Qi stared at Su Ming for a long time.

Aside from the pure joy of learning new knowledge, there was no surprise, fear, or discomfort on his face.

It was as if the proliferation of flesh and blood was a natural part of him, and he had only just "remembered" how to use it.

This calm acceptance is itself the most profound cognitive change.

Because he doesn't believe he has been "contaminated".

He won't realize he's "abnormal" because the new cognitive framework has replaced the old one and become the "normal" way he perceives the world.

For Su Ming at this moment, the transformation of his arm into a terrifying giant arm covered with fish scales was not a frightening "abnormality," but a very normal change.

Just like you need to drink water when you're thirsty, eat when you're hungry, sleep when you're tired, and rise up when you're excited.

The next day.

According to Pingjiang City News, a chemical leak occurred last night in Lanyue Residential Area, causing significant pollution and resulting in multiple casualties.

"Relevant departments have quickly activated emergency response plans, and all the injured have been sent to the hospital."

"At the same time, relevant departments announced that the Lanyue residential area was completely locked down, and all losses suffered by the residents would be borne by the government."

At that time, Su Ming was the only resident in Lanyue Community.

His living room was once again packed with people.

Zhou Zhengyang exaggeratedly grabbed Su Ming's hand: "Su... no, my little darling, what have you done now?"

Honestly, Zhou Zhengyang was terrified.

I've only been gone a few days, and Su Ming has already caused such a big mess.

Gu Shen's phone call made him think that Pingjiang City was doomed.

Before the logistics support department's anomaly detection system malfunctioned, it issued a final alarm.

That kind of alarm should theoretically only sound when a civilization is facing a crisis of collapse.

All eyes were focused on the source of the final alarm: Pingjiang City.

No one knows what happened in Pingjiang City.

During those few minutes when the signal was interrupted and all communication was lost, no one knew what Pingjiang City had experienced.

Zhou Zhengyang only arrived at the scene as soon as everything calmed down.

Chen Zhiwei also arrived, bringing his most elite research team.

They were studying the sealed structure cabin, which was riddled with cracks.

"I didn't do anything." Su Ming scratched his head: "The mutated humanoid fish statue arrived last night."

"Then I did some research."

Zhou Zhengyang was practically bursting with rage. He pointed at the empty sealed chamber and shouted, "Where's the statue?"

Su Ming chuckled: "That's all."

Upon hearing the word "gone," Zhou Zhengyang collapsed to the ground, unable to utter a single word.

On the other hand, Chen Zhiwei discovered this after completing the test.

There were no traces of pollution, no residual energy, no signs of material decay, and not even the slightest abnormal particles could be detected inside the structural cabin.

"How is this possible?"

The researchers present gasped in surprise.

Anything that has ever existed will leave a trace.

This is basic common sense.

But now, there are no traces left inside the structural compartment.

It was as if the deformed humanoid fish statue had never existed.

Even Chen Zhiwei gasped at this result that defied common sense.

She rubbed her temples, then slowly walked up to Su Ming and asked, "Have you received the knowledge?"

That was not a question, but a statement of certainty.

She is the world's leading authority on sealed artifacts.

The knowledge contained within the sealed artifact cannot be destroyed, only transferred.

But no one can withstand the "knowledge" contained within the sealed artifact.

Even with Chen Zhiwei's vast knowledge and all his efforts, he could only grasp the surface of that "knowledge".

On the surface alone, she has achieved many groundbreaking accomplishments.

One can imagine how terrifying that "knowledge" is.

Su Ming said "Oh," which was taken as tacit agreement.

Zhou Zhengyang was completely bewildered.

He couldn't understand Su Ming and Chen Zhiwei's conversation.

Chen Zhiwei said bluntly, "You don't need to understand."

"All you need to know is that once you understand, it's time for you to die."

When others said this, Zhou Zhengyang would always offer a few words of rebuttal.

But when Chen Zhiwei said those words, he couldn't utter a single word.

"What knowledge?" Chen Zhiwei stared at Su Ming with burning eyes, her gaze so intense it seemed she wanted to devour him.

Su Ming said, "Flesh and blood proliferation."

Chen Zhiwei said "Oh," quickly evaluated the answer in her mind, and briefly commented, "Good knowledge."

She didn't press the matter further.

Because she knew that this knowledge could not be described or depicted in any language known to humankind.

But her next words plunged the entire living room into a deathly silence, even Su Ming was stunned.

Chen Zhiwei asked, "Shall we have sex?"

She paused for a moment and then continued, "Actually, I'll look quite pretty if I tidy myself up."

"Age is also the optimal time for childbearing."

"You can choose any position you like; I can fulfill any request you have."

"I learn very quickly."

Her thoughts were pure.

Since Su Ming was able to safely receive this "knowledge"...

Is this trait possibly hereditary or transmissible?

The most fundamental and complex creative process of life: conception in the mother's body and embryonic development.

Could the interaction of their biological information flow become another form of knowledge contact or cognitive inheritance?

This is a research topic worth exploring.
