Oh no! I'm surrounded by female ghosts!

Re-enter the banquet hall.

Su Ming did not rush to start the favorability upgrade task.

Instead, he lay flat on the ground, looking up at Shen Wanyu standing in front of him.

have to say.

From any angle, that black dress accentuated her curvaceous and alluring figure.

"Headless sister, I'm ready."

Su Ming's eyes burned with fervor, his heart filled with anticipation.

It wouldn't be difficult to draw the consciousness of the Deep Sea Ode to Su Ming, since it had already set its sights on him.

The difficulty lies in how to manage its consciousness after it has been attracted.

Regarding this, Shen Wanyu gave Su Ming a suggestion.

[Integration].

The meaning is very simple.

She wanted to become one with Su Ming.

Because once Su Ming starts the favorability upgrade mission, the darkness will isolate her.

Only by merging beforehand can it reside within his body.

This "fusion" sparked endless imagination in Su Ming's mind.

He lay quietly on the ground, waiting to be integrated.

Seeing that Shen Wanyu hadn't moved for a while, Su Ming urged, "Headless Sister, what are you waiting for? I'm ready."

The words were spoken.

Shen Wanyu finally moved.

She lifted her foot, her slender toes gently landing on Su Ming's chest.

next moment.

That slender, snow-white leg, like flowing water and light gauze, slowly disappeared into his body.

This feeling.

Su Ming is hard to describe in words.

All I can say is, it's wonderful, wonderful beyond words.

Like soaking in a hot spring in winter, encountering an oasis in the desert, or swallowing the first bite of food when hungry.

Satisfy.

Shen Wanyu did not pause.

Under Su Ming's burning gaze.

Her left leg also lifted up.

Next comes the waist and abdomen, chest, arms, and neck.

Her entire alluring and fiery body was like a lost soul that had been wandering for a long time finding its only home.

Su Ming could clearly feel something gently yet firmly entering his body.

Every inch blends together gently and slowly, with exquisite delicacy, like a silent, tender embrace.

In a short while, Shen Wanyu's figure completely dissipated and merged into Su Ming's body.

"Is this what fusion is?"

Su Ming sat up.

Curious, it moved its wrists and ankles, and even did a little gymnastics.

I felt no discomfort at all; on the contrary, it was a strange kind of satisfaction.

It's as if it's been filled up.

"Headless Sister, are you there?"

Su Ming tried calling out.

A single word, "blood," appeared directly on my retina.

【exist】

"Am I feeling comfortable?" Su Ming raised an eyebrow.

Shen Wanyu did not respond.

Perhaps they simply didn't want to answer.

Perhaps the answer has already been given.

"hey-hey."

Su Ming chuckled softly twice.

The process of integration reminded him of a word.

Possessed by a ghost.

I had only heard of it before, but had never experienced it.

It is said that when a living person is possessed by a ghost, they may fall seriously ill or even die.

But instead of being weak, he was full of energy and even had an overload of excitement.

After stretching his body for a while, he activated his ocean voyage ticket.

As the smoke rose, darkness swept in from all directions, quickly enveloping the entire banquet hall.

An old torch appeared out of thin air in his hand.

The torch emitted a faint light, illuminating only about a meter around it.

[Affection Level Up Quest: Find the exclusive room of the headless female corpse]

[Countdown: 1 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds]

The mission timer has officially started.

Su Ming ignored the task pop-up window and asked again in a low voice.

"Headless Sister, are you there?"

The words in blood appeared directly on my retina.

【exist】

Upon seeing this word, Su Ming felt incredibly at ease.

"The Headless Sister".

"You said that the Ovation of the Deep Sea has self-awareness, so wouldn't you say that it's strange?"

Su Ming pushed open the door, sat down by the door, and chatted with Shen Wanyu casually.

He was thinking.

If the Ovation of the Deep Sea has consciousness and life, then it should be considered bizarre.

Since it's something eerie, can I contain it?

Two lines of blood-red characters slowly appeared in his eyes.

[Unclear]

But you can try.

"Okay." Su Ming nodded.

In the midst of this quiet conversation, the mission countdown flew by.

Su Ming no longer hesitated.

He immediately stepped back and returned to the banquet hall, quietly waiting for the mission to end.

A few minutes later.

【ding~】

【Countdown: 00:00:00】

[Affection Level Up Quest: Find the headless female corpse's private room (Failed)]

A system pop-up window appeared.

Su Ming's feet sank, instantly sticking to the wooden plank.

As before, he began to assimilate with the ship.

The black wood grain on the calves began to shimmer and spread little by little.

In just one second, Su Ming's feet were firmly nailed to the floor, as if they had taken root in a dead tree.

But this time, his assimilation with the ship was hindered.

The mole on the back of his hand suddenly burst open, gushing out a large amount of blood.

These blood vessels, like living snakes, writhed wildly, crashing violently into the black wood grain that was trying to spread upwards.

In an instant, the upward-spreading wood grain was enveloped by blood streaks.

Immediately afterwards, a fierce roar came from deep within Su Ming's chest.

It was a mixture of many sounds.

Men's, women's, the elderly's, and children's.

Desperate, angry, pleading, cursing.

All the sounds mingled together, forming a chilling wail.

The roar lasted for about five seconds before abruptly stopping.

It felt as if something had snapped it off.

Then.

A pale, slender, and gracefully bony hand slowly emerged from Su Ming's chest.

He held in his hand a ball of black mist that was constantly rolling and writhing.

The shape and outline of this black mist kept changing.

With each change, a different face will vaguely emerge.

Several lines of blood-red characters appeared.

You can give it a try.

It is an aggregate of resentment, lacking complete intelligence and a fixed form, and cannot be considered a complete life in the true sense.

This wisp of consciousness comes from countless ghosts that have been assimilated and devoured.

"A collection of resentment."

Su Ming looked at the black mist that Shen Wanyu was holding in her hand.

The black mist struggled and twisted wildly, but was trapped by a faint layer of bloody light and could not break free at all.

"System, scan."

Without further hesitation, he immediately started the scan.

[Scanning for a "special and eerie" aggregate of resentment; should it be contained?]

Containment success rate: 50%

Containment successful. Initial loyalty increased to 60.

(Friendly reminder: If containment fails, the aggregate of resentment will collapse and perish.)

Su Ming's eyes lit up.

It can actually be contained.

However, the success rate of containment is only 50%, and if containment fails, it will dissipate.

This was the first time Su Ming had ever seen such a peculiar and bizarre phenomenon.

"Headless sister, catch it first, don't let it escape."

Because Su Ming has not yet assimilated with the Deep Sea Ode to Salute.

A tremendous repulsive force was generated.

Less than a minute later, a tremendous pulling sensation swept over him, forcibly kicking him out of the mission scene.

We returned to the banquet hall where we started.

Shen Wanyu gracefully emerged from his body, still clutching the writhing black mist in her hand.

The words in blood condensed in mid-air.

Now, you can go find the ocean-view suite.

Su Ming glanced at the collection of resentment in Shen Wanyu's hand.

This is so strange and bizarre.

Let's find a way to improve the containment success rate first.

As for now.

He reactivated his ocean voyage ticket.

Without the influence of any resentment, the entire process was smooth, and he successfully found the ocean-view suite in just thirty minutes.

The moment the door was pushed open.

A series of pop-up windows appeared in front of me.

【game over】

[Affection Level Up Quest: Find the Headless Female Corpse's Private Room (Completed)]

[Headless female corpse's favorability upgrade: Pay attention → Gaze (0/300)]

[Unlock Level 2 Scene: Banquet Hall → Ode to the Deep Sea]

[Capacity limit increased: 6 → 8]

Backpack capacity increased from 9 to 12.

[Detecting the headless female corpse and reaching the "Gaze" level unlocks the third character slot for character development.]

(Friendly reminder: Level 2 scenario - Ode to the Deep Sea, all anomalies in the area can be contained with a 100% success rate and an initial loyalty of 80%)

Su Ming stepped inside and quickly scanned the ocean-view suites.

Finally, my gaze settled firmly on an exquisite and luxurious gold frame.

The person in the painting is Shen Wanyu.

Unlike the headless appearance Su Ming usually saw.

In the oil painting, she has an extremely beautiful face.

Her eyebrows and eyes were clear and refined, her nose was delicate and straight, her lips were a light, cool pink, and her expression was indifferent and aloof, exuding the elegance and nobility of a noble lady.

She stood quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, with the surging night and the dark sea behind her.

The sea breeze ruffled her hair, making her look beautiful yet fragile, elegant yet lonely.

This is the most complete image of Shen Wanyu before her death.

It is also the only complete, exquisite, and flawless image she left in this world.
