[Simulation begins--]

[Day One. The Supernatural Revival begins, and terror descends.

You stand by the window and see an Inverted City faintly appearing above the heavens. Black-and-white funeral portraits drift down into the human world alongside Incense Ash.]

[You leave with the "Bone Lantern" in hand, taking the opportunity to observe Malevolent Ghosts Killing People.

You discover that after eating people, they grow stronger. You kill some survivors and imitate the Vicious Ghosts, but gain nothing.

However, when you try to consume a weakened Vicious Ghost, you discover that your strength increases slightly, though only by a tiny amount.]

[Day Two. After a full day and night of backstabbing, your "Lightning Thunder Fist" successfully advances to the second stage.

Because you kill Vicious Ghosts, many people are saved as a result. They are deeply grateful to you and hope to follow you. You agree.]

[You lead them to a hospital and tell them that it is a shelter.

They rush inside joyfully, only to be attacked by Ghost Infants.]

[Through observation, you discover that there are very few Ghost Infants, and the terrifying source behind them does not appear.

Some survivors try to escape the hospital, but unfortunately, the entrance has already been blocked by the Vicious Ghosts you lured over.

After the survivors disappear, you backstab all the Vicious Ghosts and avenge them.]

[You gather another group of survivors. This time, you tell them there are abundant supplies in the hospital basement.

When they excitedly open the door, a Pregnant Female Ghost is waiting for them.]

[You hide in the back and observe, discovering that the female ghost is extremely weak.

You engage the female ghost in a fierce battle and successfully kill her. However, her final attack severely injures you as well.]

[You find a "Purple River Cart" inside the female ghost's body. After eating it, your Invincible Body advances to the second stage.]

[Day Three. The upgrade to Invincible Body stabilizes your injuries, but they remain severe.

You find a Search and Rescue Team. After displaying your ability to control lightning, they are utterly astonished by you.]

[You tell them that you intend to join a Shelter Camp and fight for humanity's future.

The military believes that you hold tremendous significance for humanity's future, so they actively treat your injuries.]

[...]

[Day Six. After the Shelter Camp expends a large amount of medical supplies, your body basically recovers.

During this time, in order to treat your injuries, the Search and Rescue Team risks going to several hospitals for medicine and suffers heavy losses.]

[Day Seven. The military officer in charge finds you and welcomes you aboard. After asking in detail about the Shelter Camp's situation, you quietly leave that night.]

[Day Eight. You hunt Vicious Ghosts, but discover that consuming them provides far too little growth. You hope to find a more efficient method.]

[Day Nine. You encounter the Search and Rescue Team member who originally brought you back to the Shelter Camp. He tells you that the Shelter Camp has been breached by a group of Human Skin Ghosts, and only a small number of people escaped.

You sense that he harbors some resentment over your unannounced departure, so you kill him.

On the road, you encounter another Search and Rescue Team. They seem unaware that the Shelter Camp has already been breached and are preparing to leave the city.]

They are attacked by a group of Shouyi Old Ghosts.

You discover an Awakened among the survivors. You intervene and seize him, coldly watch everyone else, then leave directly.]

[Day Ten. You learn that his name is Luo Hao, and you begin researching him.]

[...]

[Day Sixteen. After several days, you have not made much progress.]

[Day Seventeen. Your excessive exploitation causes Luo Hao's death.

You discover a strange clump of long-haired jelly inside his body.]

[You find a temporary gathering place for a group of survivors and throw the jelly into it.

You discover that the jelly can parasitize other people again. This person's body mutates, and he gains Luo Hao's abilities, but his personality changes drastically.

Compared to Luo Hao, his emotions are extremely indifferent. He barely seems human.

You kill him and retrieve the jelly once more.]

[Day Eighteen. You discover a female survivor. She is incredibly powerful and can actually fight Vicious Ghosts in close combat!

Through Dual Pupils, you discover translucent tentacles extending from her body. With their help, she appears to possess telekinesis.]

[You kill the Vicious Ghost.

She is very grateful to you, and you take the opportunity to suggest that she cooperate with your research so she can better master her abilities.

She reluctantly agrees.

However, when she discovers that you intend to operate on her, she immediately refuses to continue cooperating with your research.]

[Your persuasion fails, so you directly try to capture her.

During the battle, you discover that she is extremely powerful. To avoid any accidents, you kill her outright.]

[Day Nineteen. You dissect her and discover that, just like Luo Hao at the beginning, there is nothing inside her body.

However, you unexpectedly find a "Missing Face Notice" on her. You suffer the curse of the Braided Girl.]

[Day Twenty. You scatter the woman's ashes across different places.]

[Day Twenty-One. You hear a voice by your ear. "Are you willing to be friends with me?"]

[...]

[Day Thirty-One. You discover that your facial features are beginning to disappear.]

[Day Thirty-Two. Your facial features continue to fade.]

[Day Thirty-Three. You try many methods, but none can stop your facial features from disappearing.]

[Day Thirty-Four. Only faint traces of your facial features remain.]

[Day Thirty-Five. Your face becomes completely smooth.]

[Day Thirty-Six. Holding the Missing Face Notice, you begin knocking on doors throughout the city, asking whether anyone has seen your face.]

[You died!]

[This Weird Simulation has ended.]

[The host survived for a total of 36 days. Cooldown time: 72 minutes.]

[Congratulations, host. This simulation has granted the talent "Cold-blooded and Selfish" (A-rank). During the next simulation, the host may independently decide whether to use this Personality Talent.]
