……

【Option [-]】

[Ability: Grab]

Specific performance: Master the ability of [Gripping] and be proficient.Regardless of the size and strength of the target you are capturing, it must be irresistible.

……

Zheng Zhuo chose [Ability: Capture].

This was the first time he had chosen a skill with substantial attack effects.Previously, on his panel, there were some spiritual attributes and social skills.

……

【Participant: Zheng Zhuo】

[Position: Explorer]

[Worlds that have been cleared: Small Town World, Ocean World, Dungeon World, Magic Academy World, Evolution World, Plant Disaster World, Martial Arts World]

[Subconscious World Abilities: Identification, Quick Casting, Transformation, Alchemy]

[Ability in the real world: mental resistance: madness is invalid, professional mastery speed*10, black hand, backlash, persuasion, capture]

……

His panel changed.

"Adding grappling...it seems that there is no qualitative change."

Zheng Zhuo thought.

It seems that he just changed from "behind the scenes" to "somewhat able to fight behind the scenes".

Zheng Zhuo flew upwards, and the clouds gradually pushed away.He saw [Pure White World] appear in front of him.

Coincidentally, [Joker] Fu Xi should have also returned to her egg case.He has a lot of questions he wants to ask her.

When she was in [Martial Arts World], she mentioned repeatedly that "I have to be busy with my own business".

What are you busy with?

Zheng Zhuo tried to think for himself, but found that he couldn't get an answer.

He wanted to save people and re-enter the [subconscious world].But entering the [subconscious world] is not the only thing that can be done.

"I have to ask her clearly."

Zheng Zhuo thought in his heart.

Beyond that, there are some questions.

Can her abilities be used as long as she stays in the egg case?

Does her ability apply to all unconscious enemy units?
If other people also enter the egg case, can they gain further abilities like her?
Questions appeared one after another in Zheng Zhuo's mind.He flew towards [Pure White World].Then……

went through there.

……

"what!?"

Zheng Zhuo was surprised to find that he did not slow down.He passed through the clouds near [Pure White World].The dark egg case flashed in the corner of his vision.

"Injury degree: large. Personality damage degree: medium."

The cold mechanical voice repeated the words seen on the panel before.

This.

Zheng Zhuo suddenly realized that this was going to...

"Emergency disengagement will now be imposed."

Emergency escape.

This is the second time he has been given 【Emergency Evacuation】after Ocean World.

Zheng Zhuo watched [Pure White World] go away below.Before consciousness faded away, he had only one thought.

Gu is really not a good thing.

……

A moment of whiteness followed by a long period of darkness.Gradually, a warm light appeared in front of my eyes.

There was a soft "buzz".Suddenly, the ear can hear.

The noisy voices drowned Zheng Zhuo like a flood.

Talking, walking, cloth rubbing, washing...

Why are there so many people nearby?
Zheng Zhuo frowned and opened his eyes.

The eyes adjust to the light source.He saw the ceiling of the ceiling.

what.

Surrounded by people.Some young people are walking around, and more young people are playing with their mobile phones in their own bunks.There was a heavy smell of smoke in the air.

Zheng Zhuo remembered.

“Youth hostel...”

Before entering [Martial Arts World], Zheng Zhuo left the staff dormitory urgently in order to avoid the pursuers from affecting Tao Tao.

After that, he entered the urban area and found the cheapest youth hostel to live in.

Only Chase Shop is left.But he doesn't mind.He found a bunk against the wall and immediately dived into the 【Subconscious World】.

And now...

The place where he left was in this youth hostel.

"……enemy."

Zheng Zhuo quickly looked around.

Previously, he knew that the mysterious professor and his team in black suits would mark people who could enter the [Subconscious World] according to the login location.

Well, it is likely to be eyeing him now.

"Not so soon?"

He straightened up.

The first thing to do is to make a phone call.

He dialed Chu Huairen, prompting that "the number you dialed has been turned off".

He called Zhuang Yusheng again, but no one answered.

Or not.Before he entered [Martial Arts World], the two had lost contact.

Although the time was not long, considering that no one in [Golden Space] called him anymore, the possibility of the two encountering danger was very high.

Zheng Zhuo hesitated for a moment.He didn't call Tao Tao.

He wasn't sure if the other party had found Tao Tao.He was afraid that this call would reveal her location instead.

"(calm down.)"

Zheng Zhuo said to himself in his heart.

"(Neither Chu Huairen nor Zhuang Yusheng can enter the [Subconscious World] by themselves. If I don't call them, at most they can only see the [Golden Space] when I enter and leave the [Subconscious World], and cannot produce any interaction.)"

He took out his cell phone.

Just left the [Collective Subconscious], the [World] function of the software is still inaccessible, and it shows [Debugging].

"(The next time you enter [Pure White World], ask the young woman if they can confirm their coordinates.)"

Zheng Zhuo knew about Zhuang Yusheng's approximate residence before.But if he is already in danger, may move.

Chu Huairen was even more difficult to find.

"Next... what I can do..."

Zheng Zhuo felt agitated by this complicated situation.He got up and wandered in the passage, and soon realized that he was blocking the passage of others, and opened the door to the small courtyard outside the youth hostel.

The courtyard is leading to the entrance of the hotel.There were not many people in the yard.Many people came and went, sorting their luggage.

Baggage... ah.

Zheng Zhuo didn't even have luggage.He has traveled across several cities and lived temporarily for a long time, but he only has his mobile phone and wallet all over his body, as if he went downstairs to a convenience store to buy something.

"Considering that you may often escape in the future, can you buy some necessities..."

Just when Zheng Zhuo looked at those young people and thought about it in his heart.

suddenly.

He felt something cold and hard pressing against his waist from behind.

"Shut up, follow me."

A man hooked his shoulders.A deep voice said behind Zheng Zhuo.

"..."

Zheng Zhuo didn't speak.He silently followed the instructions, walked out of the small courtyard, and walked to the side of the path.

There, a van was parked.

The two slowly came to the car.The man who hooked Zheng Zhuo opened the car door.

"Go in."

The man pushed Zheng Zhuo into the car.He took out the hemp rope and began to tie Zheng Zhuo's hands and feet.

Zheng Zhuo also saw the man's appearance clearly at this moment.He was not wearing a black suit, but was dressed in casual clothes, with fierce eyes, like a hooligan.

He also saw that the car was empty.nobody else.

This person came alone?

Catch me?
To arrest a person with [realistic skills] like this would be too contemptuous of my status as a [participant].

Zheng Zhuo didn't have any resistance before a world.But that doesn't stop him from being bloated now.

……

The man started to tie a knot on Zheng Zhuo's wrist.But obviously, not very successful.

Because all of a sudden, the world is spinning.

Zheng Zhuo hooked the man's wrist in turn.He pulled one by one, reverse twisted and fixed, all in one go.

"Bang" sounded.

The man came back to his senses, and Zheng Zhuo [captured] him on the floor of the van.

Zheng Zhuo hooked the car door with his foot.

The environment inside the car became gloomy, and Zheng Zhuo's expressionless face looked terrifying.

"I know you're from the team in the black suits."

He said solemnly.

"Why did you come to catch me? Where are you going to catch me?"

[Persuasion] The skill is activated.The man begins to feel a nameless fear.

The fear made him speak.

"I...I don't know! I...I just know...I want to take you...to X City...XX University...!"

Zheng Zhuo had heard the name of that city before.quite far.It would take three or four days to drive this van on the highway.

As for XX University, it is not a well-known university.Zheng Zhuo had never heard of it.

However, compared to these...

"You don't know why you came to catch me? Then why do you know I'm here?"

"I don't know! I have nothing..."

No matter how much Zheng Zhuo pressed, even broke one of the man's little fingers, he didn't say a word.

Strong loyalty?brainwashing?Trained in torture?

Zheng Zhuo was helpless now.

He had intended to tie the man up.But after using the [Persuasion] skill, the man's hostility seemed to disappear.

"(Isn't it a very determined enemy...?)"

To be honest, Zheng Zhuo was also afraid of inspections.So, he just left the man in the back seat.

So, next...

what can we do about it?

"I also have a driver's license." Zheng Zhuo looked at the van and scratched his head.

"Do you want to use it to move?"
