Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 45 Multiple choice questions

When Yang Ping found Tang Qianqian, breathlessly, she was holding a hamburger in her hand, standing near the crowd and listening to the stories told by the supernatural enthusiasts with relish.

As a product of the last era, the only thing that has kept up with the times at Congyun Hotel is the food. It uses the most popular pre-paid fast food of the moment, and the brand of hamburgers is even the same as the ones Tang Qianqian usually buys and stores at home. The slogan on it is that no cooking skills are required, as long as you have hands, you can make it.

The only difference is that you might end up eating maple syrup-covered severed fingers in your air fryer fries.

She invited Yang Ping into the house, ordered a "Congyun Horror Set Meal", and then said, "You said I was killed?"

"Although this may sound unbelievable, you have to believe me."

"Of course I believe it."

Tang Qianqian was very calm.

As a homegirl who often watches horror movies, there is no way she would become the kind of brain-congested character in the movie who, in order to advance the plot, refuses to listen to others' advice, insists on acting alone, and then loses her life.

The predecessors said that there are abilities beyond common sense in this world. It seems that Yang Ping’s ability seems to be related to predicting the future.

By solving puzzles made up of disordered words, you can reveal what will happen at a certain point in the future.

"Assuming this is your ability, there are two ways to interpret this ability related to predicting the future."

"……Um."

Yang Ping did not expect Tang Qianqian to be so cooperative. He had originally prepared to use his past experiences to convince her to believe in himself, but Tang Qianqian not only did not question his predicted future, but did not become anxious because of the outcome of her own death. Instead, she analyzed the current situation very calmly.

"First, the predicted future is like a warning. For example, if I just lie in my room the whole time tonight and don't go anywhere, I won't trigger the ending of dying on the second floor."

Tang Qianqian stretched out two fingers, which were still stained with grease from the burger. "The second is fatalism."

"fatalism?"

"The predicted scene will definitely happen. No matter how I try to avoid it, the coincidences arranged by fate will push me to the place of death."

If we put aside the fact that she was the one whose death was predicted, and just look at it from the perspective of ability assessment, Tang Qianqian feels that the second ability involves the concept of cause and effect. If it were placed in a fictional work, it might even grow into a boss-level ability.

It is not an exaggeration to describe its growth potential as A.

"How about that?"

Yang Ping didn't like fatalism, so he quickly said, "It should be the first case. I've had bad premonitions many times before, but as long as you make an effort, you can change the outcome of death."

"Don't be nervous. Even if it's the second case, there may be a solution."

Tang Qianqian was very calm. "You are the one who predicts the future. What you predict is a certain moment in the future. Let's assume that what you predict is a warning from your future self to your present self. Then my death is also your subjective judgment. But in fact, there are many people who only look like they are dead at the time, but they will appear alive and kicking after a day or two. Or even if they are dead at the time, they may still win the resurrection match later."

It is worth mentioning that their senior Ming Yuan is a professional resurrection match coach. When he visited Mr. Oe for the first time, he guided the novice who had just died not long ago to cut in line continuously and won the championship of the resurrection match in one fell swoop.

If the senior opens a refresher course, there will probably be a lot of dead people coming to him to learn about the experience of playing the resurrection match.

Tang Qianqian comforted him, "Don't panic, we will win the resurrection match."

Yang Ping also heard about Dajiang. When Senior Mingyuan arrived, Mr. Dajiang had a steel nail piercing his head. He could hardly imagine how painful it was. He didn't know why Tang Qianqian would risk serious injury or even death to complicate things. "But wouldn't it be better if it was the first case?"

You can avoid the risk of death by just staying in your room and doing nothing.

"not good at all."

"……what?"

"If the predicted future can be changed at will, then the prediction itself loses its meaning." Tang Qianqian suddenly put her hands on Yang Ping's shoulders and said seriously, "Your prediction will become a safety tip on the same level as 'Be careful when crossing the road' and 'Don't stick your body out of the window when riding on the highway'."

There is never a lack of safety tips in human life, and such signs can be found in any public place.

But for Yang Ping, this ability with a growth potential of A and the potential to grow to the Boss level was suddenly forgotten by the crowd and turned into a safety slogan that can be seen everywhere.

"Even if you eliminate a future in which I die, a new possibility will be created at the same time. If I stay in the room, I may be killed by the ghost in the mirror, or drowned in blood while taking a bath. These are the most famous ghost stories in the Congyun Hotel."

"Sister Qianqian, do you want to commit suicide?"

Putting himself in the other person's shoes, Yang Ping suddenly came to a terrible conclusion.

He insisted on joining the organization because he had lost interest in the monotonous life and hoped to give his life a meaningful ending through "sacrifice".

In this way, at least when people in the future talk about Yang Ping, they will think that he has made some contribution to the world.

Could it be that although Sister Qianqian looks optimistic and crazy, her inner world is actually not much different from his?
Yang Ping persuaded, "The elders said that life itself has no meaning. Only those who live can give it meaning."

It was the persuasion of his predecessors that made him change his attitude towards life.

Rather than dying gloriously, he now wants to stay alive and use his abilities to help more people.

"You are the one who wants to commit suicide, oh, you kid."

Tang Qianqian held her forehead with her hand, "Listen carefully, salted fish are the most life-thirsty creatures. I just asked Mr. Dajiang to reimburse me for a box of pre-made hamburgers two days ago. How could I want to die? This is called an investment in the future."

"But if you can't tell the difference, then the first option is obviously the most beneficial to you, right?"

Even if she changed one of the death outcomes according to Tang Qianqian's explanation, she might still be entangled in other strange stories, but if her fate could not be changed, she would definitely be seriously injured.

Yang Ping thought this was a very simple logical problem.

"You got it wrong from the beginning. This is not a question of whether you can tell the difference or not."

Tang Qianqian put more force on Yang Ping's shoulders, her eyes were sharp, "Do you remember what the senior's manuscript said? Ability is the embodiment of human desires and obsessions. It has been determined by human thoughts from the beginning."

Although Yang Ping is extremely smart, he is still a high school student after all.

Once the issue of life and death is involved, the mind becomes confused.

But this may be the most important moment in Yang Ping's life, he is making a choice.

Tang Qianqian took a deep breath and said in an unquestionable tone, "Forget the first possibility. Now you just need to keep one idea in your mind - the future being predicted will definitely happen. No matter what changes you make subjectively, the coincidence of fate will push you towards the predicted future."

For this, it was worth it even if she was seriously injured.

The most important thing within a team is to build trust. She trusts Yang Ping, and she trusts her seniors even more. She believes that even if she is seriously injured, her seniors will be able to help her.

"Then, here is another thing I want to tell you."

Yang Ping did not speak, but just stared at Tang Qianqian in a daze. He saw her raise the corner of her mouth and said, "If you become rich and powerful, don't forget me."

This is Tang Qianqian’s life creed.

If her teammates can all become powerful boss-level beings, then her future life of slacking off will surely be smooth sailing.
