Oh no! I'm surrounded by female ghosts!

Wen Qi clapped his hands: "Now that everyone has defined their roles..."

"Then tell me about my timeline."

Under Su Ming's shocked gaze, Wen Qi's black hair slowly rose from behind.

"You...you are an Awakened One?"

He suddenly stood up, knocking over the chair in the process.

Wen Qi nodded: "I just became an Awakened one last night."

Su Ming believed it.

If everyone hadn't been here today and we hadn't spoken so frankly, Wen Qi would never have mentioned this.

By June 10th, I'm not sure I'll be able to beat Wen Qi.

Although it was only 27 days.

But Su Ming believed that with Wen Qi's intelligence, who knew how much he would grow in 27 days.

Wen Qi smiled at Su Ming and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you."

"I'm just curious about the Awakened."

You should know my personality.

"I enjoy learning new knowledge because there is so much knowledge in this world that has not yet been mastered by humankind."

"so."

Wen Qi's black hair rose up from behind and trembled slightly.

Although the sound was not loud, it caught Chen Zhiwei's attention.

She put down her research and immediately appeared next to Wen Qi, sometimes frowning, sometimes biting her nails.

"Is this... a resonant frequency?"

Wen Qi nodded: "That's right, it's the resonant frequency."

Everything in this world has its own frequency.

"I can capture knowledge that is not known to humankind by adjusting the frequency."

Chen Zhiwei knew this.

Even before the appearance of the strange creatures, humanity was filled with curiosity about the universe.

To put it bluntly, their exploration of the universe has only two methods.

Listen, or watch.

Seeing is easy to understand; seeing with the naked eye or seeing with the aid of tools are both forms of seeing.

And listening is not about sound, but about invisible sound waves, the frequencies of heaven and earth, echoes from deep space and other hidden signals.

They require large-scale equipment such as radio arrays, Sky Eye detection devices, and precision instruments for gravitational waves to be accurately captured.

Because the sounds of the universe are beyond the reach of the human ear.

Only by visualizing this information as lines and then simulating and extrapolating it can we hear the voice of the universe.

Su Ming's mind went blank.

Isn't this the ability of one to hear?

It seems to cover a wider area than I can hear.

Wen Qi was still talking.

"I am not yet very proficient in controlling my own abilities."

"But it is possible to capture some subtle information by adjusting the frequency."

For example.

She closed her eyes, sensed for a few seconds, and then said, "There is a sound wave frequency, very strange, that is slowly infiltrating our world and changing some of the original ecological structures."

Chen Zhiwei stared wide-eyed, her eyes filled with envy and longing.

When it comes to processors, the human brain is unmatched.

It is more powerful than any known processor, and by a crushing margin.

Even if humanity continues to develop for hundreds or thousands of years, it is unlikely that it will be able to develop an intelligent system comparable to the brain of an ordinary person.

Not to mention Wen Qi's super brain.

"I have a feeling."

"When I'm gathering this information, I'll most likely be directly confronting some unknown and mysterious entities."

"I yearn to acquire knowledge and to obtain truth."

"If they're willing to give them to me, I'll most likely agree."

"No." Wen Qi shook his head: "I will definitely agree, I definitely will."

She softly uttered a sentence: "If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening."

Chen Zhiwei immediately realized what was happening and exclaimed, "You...you'll lead them here!"

"No, perhaps it's about becoming them."

"That's not right either. There's a price to pay. When you communicate with them and learn about their knowledge, you will definitely pay a price."

"If...if..." Chen Zhiwei's pupils contracted as he stared intently at Wen Qi: "They are willing to tell you all the knowledge they possess, even the ultimate truth of the world."

What are you willing to give up?

Wen Qi said softly, "Everything."

"Consciousness, the past, the future, life, everything—I am willing to offer it all."

After saying that, she glanced at Su Ming: "But now I have him."

"So, I hesitate."

Wen Qi's gaze reminded Su Ming of the scene he had once witnessed when he used the Grand View to see the deepest part of the deep space black mist.

At that moment, Wen Qi stopped him.

He used his touch to tell him that she was real, not some ethereal, unreal image.

Now, it seems like the opposite is true.

Su Ming, on the contrary, became a chain, binding Wen Qi.

Of course.

Su Ming did not speak about the scene at the deepest part of the deep space black fog.

Because Wen Qi had repeatedly told him not to tell anyone, not to mention it, and to act as if it had never happened.

Su Ming wasn't quite sure why.

But since Wen Qi said it, she must have her reasons.

Chen Zhiwei clenched her fists and paced around the living room.

After circling around several times, she looked at Wen Qi in shock: "Now I finally understand why you are given a higher priority than Yu Mengnian."

"If it's really as you guessed, the impact you've caused is many times more serious than Yu Mengnian's."

As he was saying.

One of Wen Qi's black hairs twitched, its vibration frequency clearly different from the others.

She raised an eyebrow, looking somewhat surprised.

"Ask me again if you hear a voice."

"No, it's not a sound. I don't know how to explain it."

"But I can clearly understand what He means."

"He is asking, 'Where are you?'"

Wen Qi was surprised that he was detected by some unknown entity so quickly.

It's a resonance of frequencies, a transmission of ambiguous meaning.

Chen Zhiwei practically lunged forward, covering Wen Qi's mouth with her hand and shouting in an almost roaring voice, "Don't respond!"

Wen Qi pried open Chen Zhiwei's mouth as she covered it, saying, "I understand."

"However," she pointed to her mouth, "a response doesn't necessarily mean speaking."

She pulled back her trembling black hair.

All eyes in the living room were on her.

Wen Qi remained calm, presumably having already guessed this after she became an Awakened.

"I will die, die before June 10th, die at Heng An Middle School."

"Su Ming".

She looked up and asked, "If the mission fails, what is your understanding of erasure?"

After frowning and thinking for a moment, Su Ming said, "To disappear completely, even the ghost school beauty will not appear. Everyone, including me, will most likely forget about you."

This is what Wen Qi was wondering about.

"Logically speaking, this kind of complete erasure is the optimal solution."

Why leave a trace?

Wen Qi did not give an answer, but only gave everyone a deep look.

Why leave a trace?

I suppose everyone has their own answer.

"27 days."

Wen Qi gave an accurate number.

"My idea is to take advantage of 27 days to actively step onto my own timeline."

"Let's see what happens in the future."

"Look at those unknowns, what are they?"

"The reason is simple."

"They try to understand us, and we also have the opportunity to understand them."

"And Su Ming has the ability to sever this timeline of mine."

"If I die on June 10th, at Heng An Middle School, the timeline will return to the beginning."

It must be said that Wen Qi's idea was extremely bold.

She wants to turn the tables and take the initiative.

Aren't those unknowns trying to understand Earth and to descend upon it?

She can also take the opportunity to get to know the other person.

Once you understand the other person, can the unknown still remain unknown?

Human beings fear the unknown, not the known.

"Will you die?"

Chen Zhiwei asked the most crucial question.

If she follows Wen Qi's timeline, will she die in 27 days?

Could anyone present kill her?

"I will die," Wen Qi said firmly. "Even if I become distorted like Yu Mengnian and lose my sense of self, Su Ming's system will protect me."

"If the mission fails, I will be completely erased, and the timeline will return to its original state."

"However," she frowned, "all traces of me will also disappear."

"In other words, in my timeline, I gained nothing."

Yu Mengnian raised her hand, and an invisible sword aura sank into Wen Qi's body.

"If Su Ming cannot kill you."

"I will take action."

"I have placed a sword aura in your heart."

"Once detonated, it will be instantly annihilated, leaving no trace of the body."

Wen Qi nodded: "Okay, that's safer."

"As for now, there are still a few things to do."

"The first thing."

"Everyone should write a letter to their future self."

"Based on the current timeline," she looked at Shen Wanyu, "it's Shen Wanyu from 2012."

"You need to write a letter to your 2012 self."

"I did not exist in 2012."

"But I will also write a letter, a letter that may have been written even earlier."

"As for the letter from 2003, could it be preserved?"

She thought for a moment and said, "There's probably a 90% chance, after all, that's a trace."

"Just to be on the safe side, Su Ming must read and memorize every letter written by everyone."

"If faith cannot be preserved, then it shall be conveyed through memory."

Wen Qi has already begun preparing for his funeral.

"The second thing."

Her gaze remained fixed on Su Ming: "Choose new characters to develop as soon as possible and raise their favorability to the fourth stage."

"Draw the image of the cursed doll and the girl in the mirror on paper."

"Then it was handed over to Zhou Zhengyang, who was tasked with using the nation's resources to search for and see if the prototype could be found ahead of time."

She paused for a few seconds before continuing.

"The third thing, and also the most important thing."

"Zhou Zhengyang".

"Here!" Zhou Zhengyang immediately stood up.

Although the girl in front of me is only 17 years old and still a high school student.

But at this moment, she has become the core pillar for everyone.

I can't even imagine who would have guided these things in 2012 when Wen Qi wasn't around.

"Apply for a flight route; we need to get to Houhai Village as quickly as possible."

"Yes."

Zhou Zhengyang answered immediately.

Su Ming blinked.

Why the sudden decision to go to Houhai Village?

Didn't we just say we were going to open a timeline where Wen Qi exists?
