The system is four years ahead of schedule, but Weird is still a cub.

Although 63597 system points were nothing to Shen Ge, who had [System Points: 1000], this was the first time he encountered a system that took money but did not do anything, and he was speechless.

However, Shen Ge discovered another problem from this. It seemed that the system's "observation" of dream fragments also consumed energy.

Since the essence of this ability is to observe situations related to "oneself", that is, to observe Shen Ge in the dream fragments, and the dream fragments are basically the world after collapse and destruction, then in fact, the probability of ensuring that "Shen Ge" in this world is still alive is very low.

"Damn, this ability is too dependent on luck. Who can guarantee that the 'me' in other dream fragments will be alive?"

Judging from Shen Ge’s current experience, it seems that he has never encountered “himself” in the current world in the dream world he has visited.

"What a useless skill." Shen Ge couldn't help but complain. If he had to consume 1000 system points every time for observation, and he died in every world, it would be like wasting the points.

Originally, he held on to the idea that even if his own self four years later in the dream fragments he observed died, he could still try his luck at the current node. But it turns out that it all depends on luck whether "he" can live in the present.

"No, 'Fusion Fragment 1' is a chaotic and distorted world formed by all the dream fragments collected before. It's not surprising that we can't survive in such a world." Thinking of this, Shen Ge called out the system again to observe Fragment 2.

[Do you want to consume 1000 system points to observe "Fragment 2"? ]

"Yes!"

[Failed to detect host information in the current space. Suspected host has died. Observation failed. Please choose another world for observation! ]

?

Nima!

Is that how you play?
Although Shen Ge felt that the possibility of his survival in this world that had already ended was relatively low, if he did not find a fragment world that could be observed, the [Log] function updated this time would really become a completely useless skill.

Shen Ge thought about it and realized that there were still three dream fragments left, which added up to only 3000 system points, so he decided to try them all together.

However, after fragments 3 and 4 obtained the same results as fragment 2, Shen Ge had lost all hope, but unexpectedly fragment 5 gave him a "surprise".

[Host information has been successfully detected in the current space. Please select an observation plan——]

[1. The process related to the host in the current world timeline - consumes 5000 system points;]

[2. "Future (four years later)" timeline and host-related processes - consume 10000 system points;]

【3. Review the important time nodes and host-related processes - consume 30000 system points.】

Shen Ge looked at the three options that appeared in front of him and fell into deep thought. The first and second options were not difficult to understand. To put it simply, it was to look at the current situation of "Shen Ge" in the Fragment 5 world and the situation four years later. This was the effect before the [Log] was upgraded.

There are two things that make Shen Ge feel strange. First, why the jump of this world line must be "four years later"? What is so special about this span?
The second is the word "process" among the three options. Shen Ge always feels that although the system's wording is always rather exaggerated, it is still accurate from his perspective. The word "process" always gives him a feeling that some kind of experiment is being conducted and the system is constantly deducing.

"1 sees the present, 2 sees 4 years later... Although the Fragment 5 world has already ended in destruction, if we can see the situation at key time nodes in the past, we may be able to find some clues." Shen Ge calculated it and found that these 5 system points seemed to be impossible to save. Whether it was the first test of the new [Log] system or the exploration of the Fragment world, it was necessary to choose the most expensive one.

"Choose 3."

[When you were 0 years old, your parents discovered a system in your body that had not yet been fully integrated during a prenatal checkup. Your father mistakenly thought it was a "tumor" and used his connections to call many experts for consultation, trying to remove the "tumor" in your body when your mother gave birth.]

[But unfortunately, you have already integrated most of the system, and only a small part has been successfully stripped away by your father's research team.]

[The research team thought this "tumor" was a very mysterious existence, so they set up an expert group to study it for several years. ]

[When you were five years old, you were playing a ball game with your mother in the yard when you saw your father who had not returned home for a long time. During the conversation between your parents, you learned that your father had been devoted to the research of that "tumor" for many years, and they named it "weird". Through this weirdness, they developed a device that can detect weird breath and successfully found the Weird King who was sleeping underground.]

[However, as the study of the sleeping Ghost King caused a series of international problems, a researcher's "mistake" led to the death of the Ghost King. The joint research team took the opportunity to dissect the Ghost King, and each part of the "dismembered" Ghost King had a unique characteristic ability. ]

[Someone tried to take the body of the Ghost King, which led to an accident in the experiment. Your father was parasitized by the Ghost King's "heart" during his escape. He was worried that the fact that the Ghost King came from your body would be discovered by other countries, so he took advantage of the chaos to delete all research files and records about you, and created a "faked death" in this experimental accident to escape, and used his own connections to change his identity and hide his identity. ]

[Your father took you and your mother away from home and went to a foreign land to live incognito for several years in order to avoid being hunted down by various countries.]

[The body and internal organs of the Ghost King were scattered all over the world, triggering a series of strange and vicious events, which directly led to an increase in the number of strange events around the world. ]

[Countries around the world gradually began to set up special "anti-weird departments". The Great Celestial Empire established a special policy department and absorbed some of your father's "old subordinates". They began to try to research "weapons" to deal with weirdness. A human experiment called "Weird Project" was also carried out in secret. ]

[When you were ten years old, it was already your fifth year living in the coastal area. In order to ensure your safety, your parents often took you to various places to avoid the pursuit of the Ghost Research Department. However, when you returned to Haiya this year, your father, who was parasitized by the Ghost King's heart, was attracted by the ghost energy at the seaside and actually found a piece of the Ghost King's internal organs. The two internal organs reacted, causing the heart to quickly possess and successfully devour your father.]

[Your father was completely killed after being devoured by the strange cells of the original ancestor, leaving behind only a basic consciousness similar to that of a zombie, which was to "eat" - to find his other limbs and internal organs. Your mother knew all about the strange experiment, so when she saw your father's mutation, she expected the worst result to happen. She tried her best to let you escape from the car, and then drove off the cliff with your father.]

[Since the Haiya Research Institute was built on the seabed, the "Ghost King" who was resurrected with the help of your father's body has been searching for other limbs and internal organs in the sea.] [After escaping from the car, you immediately thought of calling the police, but at this time you have been targeted by the weird organization. They pretended to be police officers to intercept you and then sent you to a place called Rongshan Mental Hospital, where they conducted various inhuman research on you.]

[The long-term torture caused you to have a split personality. At the same time, the Monster Organization also discovered the secret in your body. They called you the "key" to another world, the key of hope. In order to successfully activate your key, they began to conduct research for more than ten years. ]

[Your split personality has become increasingly serious. In order to avoid the painful research, your main personality has been completely hidden.]

Shen Ge's face turned gloomy when he saw this. During this period, as he entered the dream world more and more often, he pieced together the information he had collected through the strange eye and remembered about 60 to 70 percent of his childhood experiences. When he read this [Diary] again, he suddenly remembered everything that happened back then.

It can be said that the experience of "Shen Ge" in the Fragment 5 world is almost the same as his own. Except for some differences in details, the general trend is the same, including the "career of being studied" for the next ten years.

【…】

【…】

【…】

The experience of being "studied" in Rongshan Psychiatric Hospital during this period is almost a combination of the experiences in several journeys to the dream world. It is even possible that the "Shen Ge" in this world is a certain personality of Shen Ge on the normal timeline, and the "process" that occurred after being sent here by Dr. Chen.

This is also why Shen Ge has a slightly different understanding of the concept of "process". He always feels that the system will not come up with an unreasonable "word" for no reason. This may be related to the "restart" of the world. It is very likely that by figuring out the relationship between the two, the truth of the world can be found.

However, this is not what Shen Ge is anxious to figure out at the moment. He wants to know more about the Fragment 5 world, which almost "overlaps" with his own life trajectory at present. So why would it end up in destruction if it continues along this trajectory and has exactly the same experience as himself?

Thinking of this, Shen Ge withdrew his thoughts and continued to look at the [Log]——

[When you were 24 years old, the research on you by Rongshan Mental Hospital had entered the final stage, but due to disagreements within the weird organization, an accident occurred. In this accident, the sacrifice of your secondary personality "Sanzai" allowed you to successfully escape from Rongshan Mental Hospital.]

[The sacrifice of "Sanzai" brought about a "consensus" among multiple personalities, which were successfully merged together to awaken the main personality. However, the fusion of multiple personalities caused serious memory confusion, causing serious problems with your mind and memory.]

[Fortunately, your experienced "personality" made you feel like you had studied at the Hawaii Institute of Technology, mastered many abilities, and successfully relied on the graduation certificate you bought under the overpass to get a decent job, thus embarking on the path of a normal person. ]

Shen Ge had already guessed that "Sanzai" was himself through the new fragments when Wang Han fell into the dream world. That was also the first time he had a clear understanding of his split personality.

He originally thought that his split personality still existed, but he didn't expect that the secondary personalities chose to "merge" in order to awaken his main personality.

[Several years passed in a flash.]

[(The past timeline process ends)]

【（Start the current timeline process）】

[On January 2024, 1, you found a strange black cat while conducting an on-site inspection at a villa of a major client. The black cat had already shown a strong weird reaction in its body. Since the original weird cell "system" in your body had serious problems when it was stripped away, coupled with more than a decade of research at Rongshan Mental Hospital, the system was disordered and cognitive problems arose.]

[Although the system's detection capabilities were disrupted, its basic capabilities were not affected, so it was detected that this black cat would activate its characteristic ability "Silence" in four years.]

[So when you accidentally killed the black cat and devoured it, you successfully adjusted the disorder in the system and revived it.]

[On January 2024, 1, after studying the system and the "silent" feature at home all night, you went to the company with a pair of panda eyes. After rejecting the "invitation" from the receptionist, you put your thoughts aside and started working seriously, deciding to make some quick money before the end of the world, and then make some preparations.]

[After a busy day, your colleagues left one after another after get off work. You were so busy working that you just wanted to settle the orders as soon as possible, complete the final payment, and then resign. Just as you were about to leave, you found your boss running in from outside in a panic, and saw you as if he had seen a savior. ]

[Although you don't like this female boss who has "Men Keep Away" written on her face, you patiently listen to her story for the sake of your XP. You thought it was just a trivial matter at work, but you didn't expect that she actually encountered a strange incident! ]

[You found the second monster in the women's restroom with a strange characteristic of "immobility". If you stay still, you will be dragged into the strange space by the other party. Since the "silent" characteristic has almost no combat power, you can only pin your hopes on external forces. You found some alcohol bottles and prepared to use fire attacks, and followed the strange energy aura all the way to the rooftop. ]

[However, you don't know that you have fallen into a strange space with the characteristic of "immobility". The opponent has countless opportunities to pull you into the illusion, but fortunately, after swallowing "Silence", the system has completed the initial awakening, and the released strange energy successfully protects you from the influence of low-level strangeness. ]

[And the strange energy released by the system successfully eroded the strange energy of "immovability", allowing you to successfully "break the defense" and kill this strange thing that has not yet fully awakened. ]

[Your calmness impressed your female boss, favorability +1. ]

Shen Ge:?
"what?"

So this is when it started?

[January 2024, 1. You thought that no one except your female boss noticed that you had solved the "immobility" problem at the company yesterday, but you didn't know that the video of you dealing with the weirdness had already fallen into the hands of the "Special Policy Department", the anti-weird department, and they quickly found your relevant information. ] (End of this chapter)
