Oh no! I'm surrounded by female ghosts!

Su Ming emerged from the darkness after the security guard on duty left.

"Abnormal Management Bureau"

He overheard the security guard talking to himself.

"I remember Gu Yan once told me this."

"The Bureau of Anomalies was established 27 years ago."

"Based on the timeline, it should be 1999."

"Is Zhou Zhengyang the current bureau chief?"

Su Ming stroked his chin, deep in thought.

He took out his newly bought mobile phone and dialed Zhou Zhengyang's number.

After the beeping sound, the phone announced: "Hello, the number you dialed is not in service. Please check and dial again."

"Sorry! The number..."

Su Ming frowned after hanging up the phone.

The number is invalid.

In other words, Zhou Zhengyang is not currently using this phone number.

He didn't have many people in his contact list to begin with.

Jiang Qian wasn't born yet, and Gu Yan was probably only two or three years old. Zhou Zhengyang couldn't be contacted, and her parents didn't know each other at this time.

The world was a familiar one, yet it gave Su Ming a familiar sense of strangeness.

"never mind."

He waved his hand, and with a flicker, his figure disappeared quickly into the teaching building.

A few minutes later, he entered the archives.

He was all too familiar with the layout of Heng'an Middle School.

In just fifteen minutes, he found Wen Qi's file.

After Heng'an Middle School became a game setting, there was no information about Wen Qi in the archives.

Either Wen Qi took it, or it was blocked by the system.

Now, he has finally obtained Wen Qi's file.

Opening the file, Su Ming began to carefully browse its contents.

Wen Qi's personal information is very detailed.

He was an excellent student from a young age.

He was admitted to Heng'an Middle School with the highest score in the city during junior high school.

Now a student in Senior Three (1) class.

Moreover, she was born into a relatively wealthy family; her father was a senior executive of a large corporation, and her mother was the head of a department at a top-tier hospital.

"Home address".

"Found it."

"Unit 1201, Building 12, Jintai Residential Area".

Su Ming took out his phone and took a few photos of the file before putting it back.

Then, like a ghost, he quietly disappeared from Heng'an Middle School.

to be frank.

I'm a little excited.

Because Su Ming will soon be able to see Wen Qi alive.

He now seems to understand the devastation the half-dead man felt when he saw Zhang Xiuqin transformed into a 51-year-old woman.

If Wen Qi had lived, she would be 40 years old 23 years later.

No matter how well you take care of yourself, at 40, you can't compare to a 17-year-old girl.

Youth is fleeting, and beauty fades easily; this is a natural law that no one can escape.

Wen Qi, however, was forever frozen in the summer of her seventeenth year, frozen in the brightest and most dazzling years of her life, her time forever sealed away by the passage of time.

Once outside the campus, Su Ming waved and flagged down a taxi.

"Driver, to Jintai Residential Area."

He was thankful that taxis already existed in 2003.

Otherwise, he wouldn't know where to find Jintai Residential Area.

Navigation systems exist in this era, but they are mostly in-car systems, and only for luxury cars.

"Young man, you're a student at Heng'an Middle School, right?"

The taxi driver was a typical enthusiastic chatterbox, and he kept rambling on and on ever since Su Ming got in the car.

"I heard that someone hanged themselves at Heng'an Middle School a few days ago."

"It seems he bombed his exam and then hanged himself in his dorm."

Su Ming was stunned.

Think carefully.

It seems that there really is such a thing.

The hanged female ghost that he had dealt with himself.

She didn't fail the exam; she was the worst student in the entire school.

In other words, this performance is very stable, with absolutely no room for decline.

She's mentally broken.

"Sigh, why do kids these days not cherish life at all?"

"Last year, a girl from Heng'an Middle School committed suicide in the toilet."

"This year, someone else has hanged themselves."

"I feel like your school is really weird."

Su Ming responded with a few disjointed words.

Although he wasn't a student at Heng'an Middle School, he knew it all too well.

At this moment, he was still thinking about Shen Wanyu's guess.

Shen Wanyu's words were like a seed that took deep root in Su Ming's heart.

He couldn't help but think about it.

The more I speculated and analyzed, the more I realized that Shen Wanyu's words made sense.

Shen Wanyu has changed a lot since her favorability rating improved.

Not only are they very proactive and bold.

They would even say things that Wen Qi had never said before.

Even the ghost bride that Su Ming chose was suggested by Shen Wanyu.

She seemed to have... guessed it.

"Why."

Su Ming sighed.

Each character you develop is more complex and more unpredictable than the last.

But just then, his ears twitched.

The improvement in physical strength includes hearing.

His hearing is superhuman; he can hear sounds from very far away.

Normally, the brain automatically filters out some useless sounds as noise.

It must be said, the brain is a wonderful thing.

If he didn't have a brain, his voice alone would be enough to drive Su Ming crazy.

He just heard a name.

A name that made his pupils suddenly contract.

Someone said, "Yu Mengnian, can you please stop running around?"

Yu Mengnian.

Once the strongest awakened one in the Dragon Kingdom.

He single-handedly forced his way into the realm of the Sixth Awakened, causing the world to be rebuilt and the apocalypse to arrive prematurely.

Later, corrupted by knowledge, he became a mutated monster and fell into the first level of the abyss with him.

"Driver, stop the car up ahead."

After getting off the bus, Su Ming quickly headed towards the direction from which the sound had come.

A dozen minutes later, he met Yu Mengnian at a place called "Bailing Park".

It should be Yu Mengnian.

Although Su Ming had only met Yu Mengnian once, and that was 23 years later.

But her temperament is so unique, she has an ethereal quality.

That unique temperament is like that of a fairy who is untouched by the world.

Even though she looked only eight or nine years old at the time.

But it still drew the attention of countless people.

That kind of extreme beauty carries an inherent sense of distance; it can only be admired from afar, not profaned.

It gives people a very unreal feeling.

Even Su Ming had to admit that if a fairy descended to earth, she would probably be no more than this.

At this moment, Yu Mengnian was standing in front of an uncle who sold candied hawthorns.

The middle-aged man was so nervous that he didn't know what to do. He kept trying to put the candied hawthorns into her arms, afraid of neglecting her in the slightest.

How could I not be nervous?

The uncle probably felt like a god had descended to earth.

The candied hawthorns were handed to Yu Mengnian as if they were free, and even presented with both hands.

A middle-aged man next to Yu Mengnian tried to give her money.

The uncle selling candied hawthorns firmly refused.

He said, "It's the greatest blessing of my life for an immortal child to descend to earth and eat my candied hawthorns. Why are you giving me money?"

That's understandable, actually.

If Su Ming were that uncle selling candied hawthorns, he would probably do the same.

Watching Yu Mengnian walk ahead eating candied hawthorns, followed by several adults.

Su Ming's eyes couldn't help but show a hint of melancholy.

The image of that mountain of flesh and blood, spanning hundreds of meters, involuntarily came to mind.

In the center of the mountain range, half of Yu Mengnian's distorted face is embedded.

Su Ming can still recall her agonizing and frantic screams.

As he was thinking, Su Ming suddenly found himself facing a stunningly beautiful face.

Even though her face still showed signs of immaturity, she was still stunningly beautiful.

At such close range, he couldn't see the pores on that small face at all.

Her skin was as delicate as the finest mutton fat jade.

At this moment, Su Ming finally understood what it meant to have a beautiful child.

It's true, Nuwa was really unfair in creating humans.

At the same time, gasps and exclamations rose and fell from the surroundings.

Su Ming then realized that the person in front of him was Yu Mengnian.

She was dozens of meters away one second, and appeared in front of me the next.

Moreover, this guy is floating in mid-air.

No wonder I heard so many gasps and gasps.

This is clearly a display of divine power in front of others.

If released in 2026, it would instantly become a trending topic across the entire internet, dominating major platforms and becoming a nationwide sensation.

The adults who were with Yu Mengnian were so frightened that they ran over here.

He ran while calling out, "My little darling, please come down first."

The voice and tone sounded somewhat familiar.

Su Ming couldn't help but glance at it.

A man in his early twenties, whose face bore a resemblance to Zhou Zhengyang.

"Could this guy be Zhou Zhengyang?"

He remembered that when Zhou Zhengyang called him, he would often call him "Little Ancestor".

It seems that this is most likely a habit he developed from childhood.

After all, serving Yu Mengnian is much more difficult than serving herself.

The fact that the future director of the Anomaly Management Bureau had such an experience made Su Ming chuckle a few times.

"you."

Yu Mengnian pointed at Su Ming with a candied hawthorn and asked, "Why are you staring at me?"

Su Ming shrugged: "Come on, everyone's staring at you, not just me."

"No," Yu Mengnian shook her head, her expression unusually serious. "Your eyes look strange."

"Sympathy, regret, surprise—your eyes are different from the others."

"I'm pretty sure you're looking at me."

"You seem to feel sorry for me."

Why?

That's incredible.

At such a young age, she has such keen perception.

I once heard Zhou Zhengyang mention it briefly.

He said Yu Mengnian was a born awakener.
