I'm caught in the cycle of endless competition, you're waiting for me in the apocalypse.

"Cough cough cough..."

Qi Mingxuan just sat there, completely ignoring An Xin's miserable state as if she was coughing up her lungs!

An Xin coughed until her face turned red, and she took several breaths to calm herself down: "What do you mean? Didn't I do a paternity test with my parents? I'm not their biological daughter, I'm just a fake heiress!"

"You are self-aware!"

"Nonsense, of course I know! ... Ah, no, what do you mean? Qi Mingxuan, you're implying something! Explain yourself!"

An Xin raised her little face, her two little eyebrows tightly knitted together, staring at him intently, showing no sign of weakness.

"You're not An Xin, are you?!" Qi Mingxuan's words weren't a question, but a statement of certainty!

An Xin: "!!!"

"Where's An Xin?" Qi Mingxuan stared sharply at An Xin in front of him.

"You! You... what are you saying? I don't understand..." An Xin tried to remain calm, but was inwardly filled with doubt and suspicion.

"First, when I went to your house to check on your injuries, you were too wary of me. But I've been providing her with psychological counseling and guidance for a year, so we're already familiar with each other. Why would the real An Xin be so wary of me?"

Qi Mingxuan raised an eyebrow, and seeing that An Xin wouldn't admit it, he calmly listed An Xin's "low-quality impersonation issues".

An Xin: In the apocalypse, apart from my mother and the members of the superpowered team who I entrust my life to, I have to be wary of everyone! It's become a habit, what can I do?

"Second, An Xin developed depression because of the real and fake heiress incident a year ago. Even after she recovered, she was still very introverted and didn't talk much to her family, let alone make various lively expressions in front of others. And you saw me blush."

An Xin: ...How can I put it? Am I supposed to say—Hey~ beautiful, you're just the way I like you, I can't help but blush when you get close? Also, I didn't know the original owner was depressed and introverted before, Xiao Jiu didn't tell me, and I have no memory of it...Is it my fault?

Third, An Xin doesn't like apples! She even hates them!

An Xin: Ahhh! This is the main reason he confirmed I wasn't the original owner of this body! Black sesame filling glutinous rice balls, despicable and shameless! Damn it!

An Xin was internally screaming: "Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu, what do we do? We've been exposed, and it's solid evidence..."

"Why don't you reveal some of your secrets and test him? See how much he can accept..." Di Ting never expected that after only two days, all his secrets would be exposed. He really died before he even got started!

An Xin could only nod: "Um... Dr. Qi... actually, I'm also An Xin..."

"What do you mean?" Qi Mingxuan raised an eyebrow: Is this the start of an investigation?

“The original An Xin is gone…” An Xin said weakly, “I… I’m here to complete my mission by borrowing her body…”

"Are you a ghost? Possessed by another's body?"

"No, no, I'm not a ghost. I came into this world for a special reason. When I entered An Xin's body, she had already been dead for a while..."

"Did she die from the wound on her head?"

"I think so. I arrived later and have no idea what happened. Dr. Qi, I really didn't mean any harm."

"Do you think I will believe you?"

“Dr. Qi, I know you’re a good person, that’s why I’m telling you the truth! I’ve never even told my parents these things. You have to understand, these kinds of fantastical and sensational stories only exist in novels and movies. Who would believe them if I told them to someone else?”

"You said it yourself, this is a fantasy... Also, since you're an outsider, then Uncle An and Aunt Wen have nothing to do with you." Qi Mingxuan's face turned cold. "If you didn't have any bad intentions, you should have been honest with them sooner!"

Faced with his aggressive questioning, An Xin decided to throw caution to the wind: "Qi Mingxuan, do you think I wanted this? I've only been here for two days, just two days! How many times have I been harmed? How much pain have I endured? Did I say anything? When I first arrived, I knew nothing, I was completely in the dark, being targeted, being kidnapped... I... I was so scared..."

An Xin felt increasingly pitiful and weak as she spoke, tilting her head back at a 45-degree angle to try and stop her tears from falling...

—Where's the promised golden finger for the transmigrated female lead? Where's the promised murder mystery game script for the transmigrated protagonist? Where's the promised beautiful, sickly, and kind younger brother… (Ah, sorry, I misunderstood, I misunderstood…)

"And what's wrong with this lousy world of yours? There are so many ghosts and monsters. Do you think I wanted to come here? I had no choice... They even tried to harm me... I'm so scared..." An Xin wailed, not even giving Qi Mingxuan a glance, wallowing in self-pity.

"A ghost wanted to harm you? Just now? You can see ghosts too?" Hearing An Xin mention ghosts, Qi Mingxuan's thinking was immediately swayed, and he asked very seriously, "Are you injured? Where are those ghosts? Are they still there?"

"Huh? You can see ghosts too?"

"Yes, I can see it; I've been able to see it since I was little."

"Yin Yang Eyes?"

"I don't know if it's the kind you're talking about, but I can definitely see them. When I was little, I was very scared, and my father asked a Taoist master to give me a talisman to ward off evil. After that, there were no more ghosts or monsters around me, but I can occasionally see them on other people."

"Wow, you became a doctor...that's amazing! There must be a lot of ghosts in hospitals!"

"Yes, I've already desensitized."

An Xin: That's like me, I've seen so many dead people that I'm desensitized. But this guy is even more ruthless, he's used to both dead people and ghosts... In a word, "amazing!"

An Xin gathered a small ball of light-based energy in her hand, raised it close to Qi Mingxuan's eyes, and said, "Hey! This is what I use to purify the resentment and evil spirits of ghosts."

Qi Mingxuan squinted, examining the small ball of light in front of him.

"Do you believe in light? Yes, this ball of light. Don't underestimate it now because it's small. Once I recover my body and have energy, it will grow bigger."

"Can it really purify ghosts?"

"It's not about purifying ghosts, but purifying the resentment and malevolence within them. Ordinary ghosts don't attack people indiscriminately; they also have emotions and desires. They were reincarnated into the ghost realm because of their particularly strong greed. However, some ghosts affected by resentment and malevolence lose their reason and become very aggressive; vengeful ghosts are examples of this."

"You seem to know a lot!"

"Fortunately, I haven't been learning for very long. Those two ghosts in your hospital morgue were the first ghosts I ever encountered."

"Do you know why they attacked you? Was it because of the dark energy? And then you used your light to purify the malevolent energy?"

"You've said everything... Don't you know that being too smart can be exhausting..."

"No, having a high IQ just makes me find everything boring."

An Xin rolled her eyes and muttered under her breath, "You might as well just die!"

"What are you going to do next?"

"Let me recover first; this body is too weak. Once I'm healed, I'll go on a mission... Don't ask me about the mission details, but I won't harm anyone! I swear to the heavens, if I do anything immoral, may I die a horrible death!"

"Well, I suggest you tell Uncle An and Aunt Wen about An Xin's situation as soon as possible."

"I'll do my best." — Is that all it takes to accept what I said? Is that all it takes to pass? Is it that simple? How can this be so absurd…

"By the way! You're investigating the matter targeting the An family, right? I can provide some clues." An Xin still had a good impression of her adoptive parents. Since someone was targeting the An family and even wanted to destroy "her," then she wouldn't hesitate to join forces with them to eliminate evil and promote good!

"I went to the first floor because there was a 'under maintenance' notice in the second-floor restroom, which deliberately led me to the first floor. The fact that they put it up and took it down so quickly shows that someone in the hospital was watching me all the time. These people are very familiar with the internal structure and management of your hospital, as evidenced by how they changed their plans immediately after the hospital was sealed off! I suspect they are internal staff of your hospital, otherwise, how could the surveillance footage be altered so easily? And how could the genetic testing equipment have broken down so conveniently, contaminating my blood samples and those of my parents? Furthermore, there are so many institutions and hospitals that do paternity tests, couldn't we have gone to another one? This shows that their goal is to kill me—'Anxin'."

Qi Mingxuan listened intently to An Xin's analysis, his brows furrowing more and more deeply.

An Xin continued, "It's a pity that the real An Xin is already dead. She died two days ago from a head injury, and we still don't know what happened, how An Xin was injured, or why no one took her to the hospital immediately."

An Xin paused, took a sip of water, and watched Qi Mingxuan deep in thought without speaking. She then posed another question she had asked Di Ting: "Those two ghosts in the morgue, I had no grudge against them, I'd never even seen them before. Why did they want to attack me? And they didn't have any major grudges in life, only one was a bit gluttonous and the other was a bit too lazy to sleep at the wrong time. How could they generate such a strong resentment? Also, did you know that they were both streamers on the same live-streaming platform, both brought to your hospital by staff due to an emergency, and both bodies were delivered to the morgue this afternoon? Don't you think all of this is too much of a coincidence?"
