Oh no! I'm surrounded by female ghosts!

An even more devastating change followed.

As the black mist swept across Blue Star, outlines that did not belong to Blue Star slowly emerged.

At first, it was just a blurry black shadow, like a distant, continuous mountain range.

But as the black mist swirls like the tide, those outlines become clearer and clearer.

It's like an unknown giant ship carried by the waves.

watch carefully.

It was a vast, unknown complex of buildings.

There is no unified style, yet it exudes an eeriness in every aspect.

The towering spires twist and bloom with eerie flowers.

The enormous domed building resembles a decaying skull.

The continuous city walls were built of unknown black giant bricks, the surfaces of which were engraved with strange, writhing runes.

The suspended staircase has no support.

Like DNA, it hangs upside down, folds, and spirals outwards, leading into the depths of the black mist, with no end in sight.

Rows of buildings were half-hidden in the black mist, sometimes clear and sometimes blurred.

They do not belong to any part of Earth.

It's more like a forbidden zone for living people that has been forcibly squeezed in from the cracks of the world.

One after another, in patches, layer upon layer.

There was no light, no sound, no life.

Only deathly silence and decay remained.

But that ancient sense of oppression was more terrifying than any catastrophic or bizarre event.

That's a forbidden aura!

At the same time, lines of cold text suddenly lit up on the already damaged electronic screen in the lobby of the Lychee Hotel.

[World Updated - Version: The Abyss Descends]

[Update Notes: World level cap increased to tier 6, world map expanded, first layer of Abyss region opened]

[Current Region: Blue Star - Surface]

Without any explanation or warning, a game-like update notification appeared on the screens of all human electronic devices.

The text remained for several tens of seconds before gradually disappearing.

"Is this what world renewal is?"

Chen Zhiwei stared intently at the electronic screen where the text had long since disappeared.

Even Yu Mengnian, who had just entered the sixth level of awakening, fell into an eerie silence.

She floated silently in mid-air, surrounded by a terrifying aura.

Everything was pretty much as she had predicted.

According to her...

The Sixth Sense has already touched the edge of God.

This level of attainment is completely different from that of someone who has awakened the five senses.

The difference between them is an insurmountable chasm, a distinction between immortals and mortals.

But the next second, her body trembled violently.

She "heard" it.

It wasn't sound, but rather a distorted, sticky murmur of knowledge poured directly into the mind.

They were calling out to her frantically.

He tried to fill every inch of her mind.

That knowledge was even less logical and grammatically correct than the knowledge within the sealed artifact.

It cannot be described in any language known to humankind.

It's like a curse from deep space.

Even with Yu Mengnian's strength as a sixth-level awakened being, she could not stop, isolate, or resist it.

She could only let this knowledge, like countless scalding needles, pierce the deepest part of her soul.

"Aaaaaah—!"

Yu Mengnian covered her head and let out a piercing scream.

His expression was no longer the cool and indifferent one he once was, but rather one of extreme pain and distortion.

Her body began to deform, swell, and proliferate at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Large, strange-looking black blood vessels protrude under the skin.

These blood vessels spread wildly like tree roots.

Uncontrolled growth, fusion, and protrusion of bones.

The shoulders, chest, and abdomen swell simultaneously.

Flesh and blood surged, piled up, and solidified like mud.

Her once stunningly beautiful face was stretched and embedded in the bulging flesh.

The bright red blood completely turned into a thick, dark green pus.

The disgusting, foul-smelling blood gushed from the gaps in the flesh, dripping onto the ground and corroding it.

Her body, like rubber that could be torn at will, began to deform wildly.

Ten meters, twenty meters, fifty meters, one hundred meters...

In just a few dozen seconds.

The strongest woman in the Dragon Kingdom, who had just entered the sixth level of awakening, has completely disappeared.

Instead, a monster, resembling a mountain of flesh and blood, sits in the center of the Lychee Hotel.

It spans hundreds of meters.

Flesh and blood were piled up like layers of rock.

The surface is covered with large, black blood vessels.

These blood vessels are still pulsating slowly.

Numerous tumors rose, ruptured, and healed on the mountain's surface.

Within each tumor, a murky giant eye opens, densely packed and covering the entire mountain range.

Embedded in the center of the mountain is half of Yu Mengnian's distorted human face.

His face and eyes rolled back, and dark green pus kept oozing out, emitting painful and frantic low moans.

A terrifying aura of destruction erupted.

That was an aura that made even the very essence of life tremble.

A single breath can easily extinguish the life of an ordinary person.

It's as simple as blowing out a candle.

Holy crap!

Such an anomaly was completely beyond Su Ming's current knowledge reserves to comprehend.

He could only describe the strange change before his eyes as "Holy crap!"

Yu Mengnian's whispers were even more terrifying than the previous deformed humanoid fish statue.

In the blink of an eye, the human skin ghost, the jumping ghost, the head teacher, the physical education student, and the cook all underwent mutations.

It already looks terrifying; if it continues to mutate, who knows what it will become?

Su Ming immediately threw them into the containment space.

The headless female corpse and Wen Qi were alright.

But they did something that even Su Ming found amazing.

That is, the moment Yu Mengnian transformed into a mountain of flesh and blood and whispered.

They stepped forward at the same time, one of the ghosts grabbed Su Ming's shoulder with one hand, lifted him up, and turned to run away.

"That Chen Zhiwei?"

Su Ming had a pretty good impression of Chen Zhiwei.

"It's too late."

Wen Qi left behind only this sentence.

Chen Zhiwei is just an ordinary person.

Although one can rely on a vast knowledge system to hear about the superficial aspects of this "knowledge".

But the "knowledge" that Yu Mengnian whispered was far beyond what Chen Zhiwei could bear.

Su Ming could only see out of the corner of his eye that Chen Zhiwei was kneeling on the ground, and something was wriggling wildly under her clothes.

however.

It was too late after all.

After all, everyone loves to gossip.

This is such an explosive thing.

You might regret watching this.

But you'll definitely regret it if you don't watch it.

Even the most timid ghost who jumped off a building saw the whole thing.

However, I've finished watching it.

It's too late to run again.

A loud bang.

The earth, unable to bear the weight any longer, let out a groan.

Perhaps it is a momentous change in the world.

Or perhaps it's the weight of a mountain of flesh and blood.

In any case, the foundation of the Lychee Hotel was completely destroyed.

The ground suddenly collapsed.

The entire hotel felt as if it had been shoved into an abyss by an invisible hand.

A strong feeling of weightlessness swept over my whole body.

Although Wen Qi and the headless female corpse tried to help Su Ming escape.

But it was all too late.

As the mountain of flesh and blood let out a non-human roar.

It's said to be gravity.

But it was more like the collapsed ground transforming into a gaping maw, snapping down on it.

Su Ming's vision went black, and he felt dizzy.

The surrounding space twisted wildly.

It's like throwing yourself into a high-speed washing machine.

The only thing he could perceive was...

Wen Qi and the headless female corpse stood on either side of him, tightly protecting him in the middle.

"hey-hey."

Su Ming grinned.

"It feels pretty good."

Because Wen Qi's favorability with the headless female corpse has started to increase again.

Indeed, only by sharing life and death can we more quickly close the distance between each other.

It is unknown how long they fell.

boom!

There was no excruciating pain as I had imagined.

Because the black hair, mixed with flesh and blood, acts as a buffer.

Even with the buffer, the shock still made Su Ming see stars.

The moment he opened his eyes, he saw Wen Qi's stunningly beautiful face so close to his.

Her skin was fair, her breath was slightly ragged, and she carried a faint fragrance.

My mind was still reeling from the dizziness.

Consciousness has not fully returned.

But instinct compelled him to lower his head and kiss her.

He was still mumbling incoherently, "School beauty, you smell so good."

Wen Qi did not resist.

They probably didn't realize it yet.

Before she could react, Su Ming had already kissed her.

This kiss instantly shattered the calm in her eyes.

It was as if a desire that had been suppressed for tens of thousands of years had suddenly exploded at this moment.

So she closed her eyes and began to respond passionately.

The coldness and heat intertwined between their lips and teeth.

It's like dry wood catching fire, crackling and popping as it burns.

In the end, even the headless female corpse couldn't bear to look at it anymore.

He grabbed Su Ming's head and pulled him up.

She had just been lying on Su Ming's back and witnessed the explosive scene firsthand.

Su Ming looked at the headless female corpse with displeasure: "What are you doing?"

The headless female corpse didn't speak, but she exuded an even more displeased aura, and... a tiny bit of grievance.

It feels like your favorite toy has been taken away.

She grabbed Su Ming by the back of the head and pressed his head hard against her broken neck.

Although no words were spoken, it forcefully declared its sovereignty.

[Headless female corpse's favorability +10, Current status: Caution (200/200)]

[Missing key token detected; affinity upgrade quest failed to activate]

On the other side, Wen Qi slowly stood up, stretched out his finger, and wiped the corner of his mouth with lingering relish.

They can even offer a comment.

"Your kissing skills are terrible."

"If the maximum score is ten, I can only give you three points at most."

Su Ming was taken aback.

Why does this sentence sound so familiar?

I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before.
