(This chapter is quite mind-blowing. Remember, this book is entirely fictional and does not represent the author's personal values.)

Hearing Su Luo's words, the assassin rolled his eyes and said defiantly, "Why should I tell you, you damn monster!"

Su Luo: ...

very good.

"You refused it yourself."

What happens next is no one's fault but hers!

In an instant, the assassin in the [Time] realm felt dizzy and the earth shook. He was no longer standing on solid ground, but floating in mid-air.

What the hell is this thing?!

Before the assassin could figure it out, something like a film reel slowly floated out from above his head, gradually expanding to float in mid-air like a movie screen. In the darkness, images gradually lit up, showing his past life!

Soul search?!

The person struggled to escape, but remained trapped beneath the barrier. As Su Luo slowly approached, he raised his hand and gently touched a scene.

Found it.

Is that really how it is?!

After watching this performance, Su Luo gained a deeper understanding of the so-called "Abyss" from the perspective of an assassin, and what he learned was quite profound, even somewhat terrifying.

What kind of strange creatures came from here? Compared to the apocalypse outside, which has not yet been completely destroyed, this "Abyss" feels more like a post-apocalyptic world that has already fallen.

The monsters have fully revived and taken over all human bases. All humans are forced to either assimilate with the monsters, become decorations on external buildings, or be turned into members of the production line. They retain their human identities, but are like livestock before the apocalypse, being domesticated and tamed.

Women with strong fertility were left behind and forced to drink a drug that could rapidly catalyze production, causing them to continuously generate fresh, deformed humanoid monsters, which they then raised.

Those who were good-looking were sent to the mansions of high-ranking officials and wealthy merchants, those who were of average appearance were sent to slaughterhouses and turned into exquisite meals, while those who were ugly were exploited to become research subjects in various places, building materials, or members of the labor force.

Just like outside the Abyss, the monsters here have also gathered together and rebuilt nine main cities on the human buildings. Each main city has its own characteristics, but they are all under the control of a team called the Enforcers.

Her current identity is that of a majestic law enforcer in this [Abyss].

With such power, it's easy to imagine why even Lan Shan, the lord of a city, didn't dare to show her any disrespect. This organization is completely above all other strange cities!

The rules are relatively complete, and the city system is functioning, only the original masters have become servants, nourishing all the cities.

Is this the future after the apocalypse?

But why is the Abyss in such a state? Has the apocalypse truly descended more than once? Could it be that there is some other normal world?

Su Luo wasn't very good at physics, but that didn't stop him from having a wild imagination. Before the apocalypse, he had watched some TV series and read some novels, and the theory of parallel universes was not uncommon.

"What year is this?"

Upon hearing Su Luo's words, the assassin narrowed his eyes, looking at Su Luo with an expression as if he were looking at an idiot, and even doubted whether he had killed the wrong person!

“The year 258 of the Guili calendar.”

"How would that be converted to human time?"

The assassin clicked his tongue, and although he was impatient, he still answered honestly, after all, he didn't want to experience the feeling of soul searching again.

"The 40th century, 4048."

How many?

You said you'd steal the young master!

Su Luo suddenly stood up. She was only in the 21st century, but this person told her that it was the 40th century, 4048!

This is the future!

Does this mean she failed?

No, not necessarily. Human lifespan is no match for the monsters. Even if she uses the system's various drugs to slow down aging, she will still pass away after a hundred years. Without her, it's not hard to imagine that the apocalypse would be breached by the monsters.

No, that's not right...

There's still something wrong with something.

Su Luo paced back and forth, as if he had remembered something. Without saying a word, he pulled out the roll of film again, rewinding time to the very beginning.

What service do you need?

"Birth certificate".

"Name?"

"Yang Zijin".

"Date of birth?"

"August 8, 4028".

"place of birth?"

"Water Glory Star, Blue Sea Kingdom".

It wasn't Earth, nor was it the country she knew. If you looked closely, this world in Yang Zijin's memory was clearly more like a cyberpunk world that you could only see in a movie theater.

High technology combined with various cyberpunk elements are mixed together to form the world he inhabits.

It's not a planet, it might not even be a timeline, and the starting points are different, yet the end still saw the arrival of strange creatures, and the apocalypse began.

Is this thing indiscriminate, casting its net everywhere and descending upon every place?

Su Luo put the memory tape back in, rubbing her chin, puzzled.

The current situation was completely beyond Su Luo's expectations. He never imagined that he would get an even more perplexing answer under these circumstances.

If one happens, another will follow. Su Luo believed that there must be other worlds like Yang Zijin's that were swallowed up by strange creatures, and that her world was neither the first nor the last.

In other words, the whole world, no matter where you are, is like a training ground for monsters. When the prey inside has grown to a certain size, they will come down and harvest them all.

As for Yang Zijin, she is one of the humans in this world who still want to resist the organization of strange creatures.

No wonder they deeply resent law enforcement officers, especially those surnamed Su.

It's just a pity that she took the blame.

"One last question."

Why do you think I'm a law enforcement officer?

Su Luo's question was rather strange, and Yang Zijing looked up in surprise, scrutinizing Su Luo carefully as if to confirm something.

"What do you mean? Don't try to fool children with nonsense like mistaking a ghost for a ghost. The cat ears on your head, even if they're not from the Su family, they're from a much higher-ranking ghost family. You're a young lady with high status and power. Being a mere law enforcement officer is just the beginning for you!"

"The sooner we can eliminate this potentially dangerous monster for our Spark Society, the safer my companions will be!"

So... it really was those cat ears that caused this trouble. How come cat ears are such a valuable thing in this era? It seems she'll have to find a way to hide them from now on; she doesn't want to become an assassination target of the Spark Society for no reason.

However, it must be said that Yang Zijing unintentionally shut down all his words, and Su Luo now doesn't know how to explain himself.

The [Time] domain slowly receded. Su Luo had no intention of killing Yang Zijing here. Meeting the other party's surprised gaze, Su Luo shrugged and said helplessly, "Sorry, you're right."

Right? What's right?

Soon, Su Luo's next words kindly cleared up Yang Zijin's doubts.

"I'm really not a law enforcement officer; you've killed the wrong person."
