A pink bed, a pink room, exquisite lace decorating everything in pink.
This is Liu Shishi’s special hobby.
Well, if her friends knew that she still had a liking for these pink and childish things, they would definitely laugh at her.
The only people who know this secret are her boyfriend Luo Wen’an and… that couple.
After they had a child, their greatest hobby became lecturing, lecturing about everything.
From study, to life, to taste, to everything…
When she was a child, she worked hard to study but never received a word of praise from them. No matter how excellent her grades were, they would never acknowledge it. Words of praise would never come from their mouths unless they were praising someone else’s child…
Yes, she was the one who was always mediocre, always the worst!
During the college entrance examination, her score fell short of the ideal university by five points. Although it wasn’t quite enough, with the right connections and some money, she might still be able to get in. Even if she couldn’t get into that university, she could still go to another reputable one with her grades.
“Why don’t you repeat the year?”
“But F University also offers that major, and their school is also good, it’s a reputable university.”
“It’s meaningless if it’s not A University. You’ve studied so hard all these years, and your goal has always been A University. What’s the difference between going to other schools and those mediocre universities?” Her mother’s expression was always filled with a frown and impatience.
Her father’s attitude was relatively mild, but when it came to educating their children, he always stood on the same front as his wife. “Shishi, we initially expected your score to be about ten points higher than the admission cutoff for A University. But now you’re five points lower. It shows that your efforts are not enough, a difference of fifteen points. Your mother is doing this for your own good. You’ve worked hard all these years, isn’t it just for this moment? You’re still young, a year of repeating won’t hurt. Next year, you can get into A University, and we’ll feel more at ease with you living on campus.”
“It’s decided then. With these grades, you have no right to negotiate.” Her mother stood up and walked into the bedroom without looking back.
“Alright, let’s contact the school teachers, and you focus on your revision.”
Why? Why?!! Why?!!
Rushing out of the house, she looked around at this familiar yet unfamiliar world. After the college entrance exam, no matter how the results turned out, as long as they didn’t completely mess up, parents would celebrate joyfully for their children. But for herself… only for herself…
“Hey, beauty, want to hang out together?”
She turned around in confusion and saw two boys standing behind her, one with dyed red hair and the other wearing an earring. The earring-wearing boy looked a bit disappointed when he saw Liu Shishi’s face after she turned around. He had admired her figure from behind, but her face…
“Sure, let’s hang out.”
She extended her hand and walked up to the boy with an obvious bad-boy vibe, looking at him with a steady gaze. She had never been to a karaoke bar, never skipped class, never had a boyfriend. But now, she wanted to put on the ugliest makeup, dress as the worst student, get the worst boyfriend, and go to the lowest entertainment venues!

Blood splattered the walls, sheets, and blankets, staining the originally pink world crimson… They… died? Just like Uncle Luo and Aunt Luo?
All their limbs were dismembered, not a single one intact. Now, she couldn’t even tell which piece belonged to the man and which piece belonged to the woman…
“Ah!” Liu Shishi screamed, pale-faced, and sat down.
“Sorry,” Xu Song apologized with a hint of guilt and awkwardly laughed, pointing around, “Um, I couldn’t stop them. I remember your ability is area-of-effect, right? Now everyone is deceived by something, and maybe only your ability can work.”
“Huh? Huh?!” Just a moment ago, she saw the scene when she returned home, and now it suddenly switched back. Liu Shishi clearly had trouble reacting.
With a “swish,” Luo Wen’an’s dagger severed the gun in Su Daji’s hand.
Fortunately, Su Daji had run out of bullets; otherwise, Luo Wen’an would have been in trouble.
Yue Zheng raised his knife and was about to charge towards them!
No more hesitating! She had to shout first, even if she couldn’t kill anyone with it!
Liu Shishi closed her eyes tightly and let out a piercing scream.
An absolute soprano! If there were any glass cups nearby, they would surely shatter from the force of her scream!
Only now did Xu Song understand the meaning behind Su Daji’s words when he witnessed it with his own eyes.
In many movies, there are scenes where female characters scream when they are in danger. Generally, after the scream, if the character is the protagonist of the entire film, she won’t die. But if she is a minor character, these types of characters usually meet a certain death, killed by their own screams.
Liu Shishi’s situation was quite unique; her attack mode was screaming, so she wouldn’t die, but her teammates were in a miserable state.
Xu Song felt as if his head had been hammered, stars swirling in his vision, and he couldn’t stand, falling to the ground.
“Thump, thump, thump” sounds echoed continuously. Apart from Yue Zheng and the others, everyone who heard the scream without exception fell to the ground.
What made it even more eerie was that the thick fog gradually dissipated…
Xu Song and Liu Shishi were among the first to regain their senses, so their consciousness was not heavily affected by the scream. They still had some strength to observe the surroundings.
Staring dumbfounded at the road ahead, Xu Song’s voice trembled, “What… What is happening?”
After Liu Shishi’s scream, her psychic energy was depleted, and she could barely make any sound. The scene in front of her made her already pale face even paler.
The ground was drenched in blood, and people were scattered everywhere, unable to get up.
These people looked familiar; they were mostly from the first group, and after entering the illusion, they inexplicably started fighting each other, inflicting wounds on eachother!
“Mushrooms.” Yue Zheng was brought back to his senses by Liu Shishi’s soprano. Although he couldn’t move at the moment, being in a high place, he could see the strange purple mushrooms growing on the sides of the road and on the decaying trees and ruins!
They emitted a faint purple mist, and now, it seemed that they were also affected by Liu Shishi’s scream, collectively swaying like wilting saplings.
However, it was unknown if the previous dense fog had any connection to them or if it was just a coincidence.
Discovering that the “enemies” they were just fighting were actually their companions?!
Most of the people who fell to the ground were on the verge of collapse, their screams echoing one after another.
“What is going on?!”
“It seems like… like the illusions portrayed in animated movies?!”
“What caused all of this?”
“I don’t know.”
“What do we do now? We can’t even stand up?!”
A gust of wind blew from somewhere, carrying the scent of blood, spreading in all directions.
Some of the heavily injured people had already started losing their sanity, and some had died directly at the hands of their former friends. Due to the pervasive fog, most people were moving together with their best friends, family members, or even lovers. But now…
“Mom?! Mom! What happened to you?! Mom, it wasn’t intentional…”
“Sob, sob…”
“Wake up, wife, please wake up…”
Among the first to regain consciousness, Yue Zheng and Xu Song were now able to observe the surroundings with some strength, albeit with a bewildered look on their faces.
Struggling to stand up, Yue Zheng’s complexion was somewhat pale, but he was much better now than a moment ago. Although they were closest to Liu Shishi, their recovery was surprisingly fast.
Luo Wen’an and Su Daji were still lying on the ground, but Xu Song had already managed to sit up.
“Brother Yue, are you alright? Just now…” Before Xu Song could finish his sentence, Yue Zheng walked up to him and hugged him, leaving Xu Song bewildered, unable to find the words he wanted to say.
Realizing what had just happened, Yue Zheng immediately reacted. The creature he was facing just now undoubtedly resembled Xu Song!!
The image of Xu Song in the illusion, like a knife, stabbed into Yue Zheng’s heart, causing him to bleed profusely.
Since high school, his heart had completely closed off, impenetrable to anyone, impossible to open. Even though Xu Song had become the first person to approach him due to external circumstances, Yue Zheng had made up his mind now. Regardless of the consequences, he would accept everything that came from this encounter.
Not wanting to see the illusion become a reality, wanting to protect him, and moving forward together in this absurd world, and survive.
“Wife, you saved the world…” Luo Wen’an struggled to crawl to Liu Shishi’s side, relieved, and hugged her tightly.
Tears silently streamed down Liu Shishi’s face. She couldn’t explain if it was the illusion that reminded her of the past, making her suddenly vulnerable, or if it was the relief of seeing Luo Wen’an unharmed that made her fragile.
“Hey, who can I hug too?” Su Daji lay on the ground, looking frustrated, glancing at the couple of Luo Wen’an and Liu Shishi, then at Xu Song and Yue Zheng. These two couples were really… why was he the only lonely one? If he had known, he would have gotten a girlfriend to accompany him on this journey!
“Hug yourself.” Despite holding his own girlfriend, Luo Wen’an still refused to let up on teasing.
“Get lost! You reap what you sow!”
“I have a wife.”
“Drop dead!”
Holding the dazed Xu Song in his arms, Yue Zheng took some time to calm down. Letting go of his embrace, he held Xu Song’s hand and said, “This place is not suitable for staying long. Let’s…” Before he could finish his sentence, Yue Zheng’s face suddenly changed. “It’s too late…”
“Huh? What, what?” Luo Wen’an looked at him in confusion.
Su Daji, who was about to sit up from the ground, caught a glimpse of the sky in the distance and his expression changed. “Damn it! They have come again?!”
“What? Damn it! Is it birds again?!”
“Not just them.” Without looking up towards the sky, Yue Zheng gazed at the fields on both sides of the road, where the sounds were coming from… their threatening intensity was probably surpassing that of the bird flock in the sky!
“Let the little tree come out.”
