Oh no! I'm surrounded by female ghosts!

Chapter 39 New Scene: Lychee Hotel

This Lychee Hotel is indeed extraordinary.

As Su Ming got closer to the hotel, the surrounding space became more and more distorted.

It's like sunlight passing through a bubble, creating layer upon layer of refraction.

Continue walking forward.

The buildings around the Lychee Hotel became blurry, distorted, and faded, as if they were completely shrouded in a thick layer of gray fog.

Even though I only walked a dozen meters, I had the illusion of stepping from the real world into another world.

Is this the Ghost Realm?

Su Ming had never seen a truly complete Ghost Realm.

At that time, there was a ghost realm inside that small mirror, but it was not complete; it was only a part of the ghost realm.

Although Wen Qi and the headless female corpse were disaster-level beings, they had never unleashed their ghostly power in front of him.

Therefore, this was the first time Su Ming had come into such close contact with a fully formed ghost realm.

He took a few more steps forward, and when he was about three meters away from the hotel entrance, a game pop-up window suddenly appeared in front of him.

[New Scenario for Testing: Lychee Hotel]

Load?

【whether】

Su Ming was stunned, somewhat surprised.

The Lychee Hotel was surprisingly identified as an independent scene by the system.

He had always thought that the scene was only bound to the character he had developed.

I never imagined that a ghostly place could become an independent game scene.

After a brief three-second pause, Su Ming clicked "Yes" without hesitation.

[Loading new scene: Lychee Hotel]

[Loading... 1%... 2%... 3%...]

Su Ming, supporting the headless female corpse and holding Wen Qi's hand, stood quietly at the hotel entrance for several minutes.

Until the loading progress bar in front of you reaches 100%.

Loading successful

[New scene added: Lychee Hotel]

The moment the notification tone ended.

The originally distorted and hazy space instantly solidified, became clear, and took shape.

It's like a fixed map that's already loaded in a game.

The ground beneath my feet was slightly luminous, with a faint, transparent blue grid spreading out like waves scanning a map structure.

Turn back again.

All the buildings surrounding the Lychee Hotel have disappeared, replaced by an intense darkness.

The area surrounding Heng'an Middle School was also shrouded in this dense darkness.

This made a word pop into Su Ming's mind: world map.

"So that's how it is."

"Whether it's Heng'an Middle School, the banquet hall, or the current Lychee Hotel, they are all part of this world map."

"If we could illuminate those dark mists, we could connect these scattered scenes together."

Su Ming licked his lips, his eyes shining.

"They might be pieced together to form a complete world map."

At first, Su Ming thought that Heng'an Middle School and the banquet hall were separate scenes with no connection between them.

But now that I think about it, it's not that there was no connection, it's just that I didn't realize it.

The only problem is...

Which world is this world map from?

Reality or a game?

It can be confirmed that the Lychee Hotel is a real location.

Su Ming could not find Heng'an Middle School in reality.

For a moment, Su Ming was somewhat confused.

He looked at the black fog that enveloped the Lychee Hotel.

Does this black fog cover the entire Pingjiang City?

Thinking of this, Su Ming immediately lifted his foot and walked towards the edge of the black mist.

Strangely, it felt very close.

No matter how far Su Ming walked towards the black mist, he could not actually reach the edge of the black mist.

"Could it be?"

Su Ming reopened the game page.

As expected, a new scene called Lychee Hotel has been added to the game page.

Below are two icons: Enter and Exit.

The entry sign is lit up, indicating that Su Ming is currently in the Lychee Hotel scene.

To leave, you need to click "Exit".

No wonder I couldn't get to the edge of the black fog for so long.

In terms of the game...

The black fog is located at the edge of the map; it can be seen, but you can never reach it.

Even if you force your way there, you will be blocked by the invisible wall.

"Exit the scene".

Su Ming silently recited it.

As soon as he finished speaking, an unexpected change occurred.

He didn't move, and space didn't distort.

The thick darkness that had enveloped the Lychee Hotel collapsed and receded rapidly, like a receding tide.

In an instant, the black fog dissipated, and the familiar Pingjiang City came into view again.

The street scene, streetlights, distant high-rise buildings, and the hustle and bustle of traffic have all returned to normal.

Su Ming himself remained standing just three meters away from the entrance of the Lychee Hotel.

The Lychee Hotel has also remained unchanged.

The building remained eerie and dilapidated, its interior filled with a chilling aura, but it was no longer shrouded in black mist; instead, it had re-integrated into the city.

"School beauty, did you see anything just now?"

"For example, black mist?"

Su Ming leaned closer to Wen Qi and asked in a low voice.

Wen Qi looked around, seemingly not quite understanding Su Ming's meaning.

Let's rephrase the question.

"Sister School Beauty, after you left the classroom, was Heng'an Middle School surrounded by black fog?"

This time, Wen Qi understood.

She nodded and said calmly, "That's deep space."

"Even if you see something in deep space, you can't reach it."

Wen Qi really enjoyed teaching Su Ming.

Whenever Su Ming asked, or whenever Wen Qi knew, she would try to help Su Ming understand better.

So Wen Qi pointed to the sky.

"Like stars."

"You can see them after nightfall."

"But to get there, it will take a very long time, or perhaps we will never truly arrive."

The stars in the universe are separated by billions of light-years and have always been visible but intangible.

Su Ming understood.

He turned his head and asked the headless female corpse in a low voice.

"Headless sister, did you see deep space just now?"

The headless female corpse did not react.

No reaction means she didn't see it.

Su Ming then asked the dean of students, the physical education student, the cook, the human skin ghost, and even the ghost who jumped off the building hiding in the back.

The results were consistent.

None of them saw the so-called deep space, and they didn't even understand what "deep space" meant.

It seems that only I can see the deep-space black fog that just enveloped the Lychee Hotel.

Unable to figure it out, Su Ming simply stopped dwelling on it.

As the old saying goes, there's always a way out.

Now, let's finish dealing with the Lychee Hotel first.

Open the game page.

Su Ming clicked on the new scene "Lychee Hotel".

[Enter Scene: Lychee Hotel?]

【Yes】

After the selection was confirmed, the dense darkness that had just dissipated rose again, quickly engulfing the area around the hotel like a black fog.

Deep space descends, reality fades away.

Su Ming's gaze was fixed on the word "connect" in the helpful reminder.

In which scenarios can it be connected?

Su Ming's mind conjured up images of the "banquet hall" and "Heng'an Middle School".
