【Option [-]】

【Chasing with her】

……

"Wait! It's dangerous over there!"

Zheng Zhuo yelled, but the young woman had already flown away.The invisible torrent was rampaging in the [Golden Space], Zheng Zhuo was constantly blocked and pushed away, and he couldn't get close.In the blink of an eye, the young woman had already distanced herself quite a bit from him.

"Damn it!"

Zheng Zhuo jumped over the large object that hit him.He rushed forward.

Young women fly ahead.Around her, among the golden fluid, some transparent shapes could be vaguely seen.

Those shapes gather and separate, flowing to the channel opened by the light spot.

Those transparent shapes reminded Zheng Zhuo of the faint consciousness that he would occasionally bring out from the [subconscious world].

It was the consciousness that had grabbed his feet in 【Ocean World】.

It was also captured by the "Professor" and became the consciousness of the black suit team.

These consciousnesses are people lost in the subconscious...

In [Zombie World], the young woman once told him that her brother was also lost in the subconscious.He became a vegetable and has not yet awakened.

"(Did you see her brother in those transparent shapes!?)"

Zheng Zhuo desperately pushed away those invisible things that hit him.However, the distance between him and the young woman could not be shortened.

The young woman said she was not a participant.

If Zheng Zhuo disappears, she will gradually lose herself when she enters the [subconscious world].

"(Isn't it necessary to catch up...Hey! Wait!)"

Zheng Zhuo saw the young woman put her hand into the golden fluid.She seems to be trying to pull out a transparent form.

That thing was really pulled by her.Zheng Zhuo saw the transparent, viscous mass slipping out of the torrent of light.

however.

That thing was heavier than expected.

"!"

The young woman was dragged down by the transparent mass!

And directly below her, there is a gap opened by a light spot.

It was pitch black inside.

"...!"

It was too late for the young woman to react.She dragged the lump and fell into the gap—

then.

A hand caught her.

She looked up.

It's Zheng Zhuo.

Zheng Zhuo lay on the outside of the gap opened by the light spot and grabbed her.

"You... hold on... live..."

Damn it!The weight of the transparent mass was beyond Zheng Zhuo's imagination.As soon as he started, he was pulled to the entrance of the cave.

It was like grabbing a grown man and a grown woman at the same time.

"what……"

Not anymore.

The black hole seems to have suction.Zheng Zhuo was also pulled inward.

"You...let go!"

He heard the young woman exclaim.

"Say...what...well, this can save a..."

Zheng Zhuo didn't finish his sentence.

Bang.

Suddenly, the golden torrent above the head burst.A huge golden water column poured down from above.

"--what--"

Zheng Zhuo, the young woman and the transparent mass were all smashed into the hole opened by the light spot by the golden torrent.

"..."

The golden light flooded Zheng Zhuo.Zheng Zhuo fell down.Countless clumps similar to the one the young woman grabbed were pushing and screaming, which made him have a terrible headache and couldn't speak.

However, in the only vision he had left, he saw something approaching him mixed in the golden torrent.

It was a small, golden card.

It flew in front of Zheng Zhuo.Zheng Zhuo saw the pattern of the [Rebel] holding up the flag of rebellion printed on its surface.

Followed by.

Right below what should have been darkness, a new exit opened up again.

The sea breeze blows upwards.Zheng Zhuo saw the blue, endless ocean.

And the dark, barren medieval continent floating above.

The wind blows across the cracked land, carrying away the dead grass, sand and the crows.

The girl pushed open the black door, shook the curtain covered in black dust, and looked up into the distance.

Everywhere is black.The trees are black, the earth is black, the mountains and castles in the distance are black, even the sky is black.

Girls get up very early.But the sun has risen.The dark sun is always in a state of total solar eclipse, with only a faint halo on the side.

The girl looks to the west.In the past, there used to be a village there.The old people in the village said that the sky became like this because the land was cursed.

No matter how licentious and brutal the past lords were, they still had the orthodox right to inherit the land.She Shu and his rebel army should not overthrow them.

said the old men.

It is because they overthrew the lord that we have suffered.

There will never be day, there will never be night.Plants cannot grow, and livestock are plagued by diseases.

The old people did nothing but sat at the entrance of the village, coughing and repeating these words.Like a bunch of curled roots.

And such old people also left one by one in the past days.

The girl has not heard this story for a long time.

She has no particular likes or dislikes about the story.But her brother hated the story.

Every time he went to the village to buy black bread, he had to walk quickly through the entrance of the village, and would plug the girl's ears and tell her, "Don't listen."

He said She Shu and his rebel army were right.If the earth is cursed for it, so are they.

But the brother who would say that was gone.

The girl looked west again.

My brother went to fetch water.The land is polluted and there is no good water source at all.After the old people died, the wells in the village withered.The elder brother had to go further afield to find water for the family.

Every time, he has to go a long way.It will be a long time before I can come back.

But this time, it took a long time.

The sun stopped setting, and the girl didn't know how much time had passed.She waited and waited.

The girl went out of the house, turned up all the moss, and wet them with what was left of the water.

That's the only crop they can grow now, and the only thing they can eat.

My brother never came back.

So she went back into the house.Because I had nothing to do, I lay down on the table.

I don't know how long it took.

The clock struck three.

Boom, boom, boom.

thump.

A little more.It was sent from the door of the house.

There was a knock on the door.

The girl sat up.She got up from the table and opened the door.

A man is standing outside the door.

It was a strange man.He was distraught, pale, and dying.

The girl never saw him.

However, for some reason, his face made her feel a little familiar.

"...you in this world are younger than the you I know."

The man spoke in a hoarse voice.

"...!"

He startled the girl.

My brother said that everyone except him was a robber.Can't open the door.The girl quickly closed the door...

The door was blocked.

"Don't close the door, it's me."

The tired man blocked the door with his hand.he said.

"I'm Zheng Zhuo."
