- They just fell into the subconscious! Isn't there a person who has participated many times? If they could come back from there before, maybe they could after - can't they wait for them to come out? ”

Zheng Zhuo knew that it was time for him to go.

It's no joke! It's a matter of life!

He heard his heart screaming.

But when he thought that there were eleven still hopeful lives that were about to disappear in front of him, and that the consciousness of hundreds of thousands of people below him would completely melt with the closure of the exit, he couldn't ask nothing and walked away.

"At least eleven of them! It's entirely possible that they'll leave, right? Even if it's just waiting for them—"

"The last time I was assigned, the system was already out of order because of my hack."

The young woman sighed.

"Those eleven people were assigned to different worlds. Moreover, consciousness and personality are completely separated, and the conditions for leaving are no longer remembered. They will see themselves as members of the world, stay there forever, and disappear completely with the death of the world. ”

"But...... It is also possible ......"

Scold.

Zheng Zhuo suddenly heard the young woman laugh. He looked at her.

"That's right. You are participating for the first time. I haven't experienced those tragic things, and I haven't killed anyone, so I want to keep them. ”

The young woman also looked back at Zheng Zhuo.

"Do you know what they've done? The hundreds of thousands of people below this are all the same. This is human beings, and if they are subjected to cruel circumstances, they will become demons. ”

"They've all changed. The people you want to save are not good people. ”

“……”

Zheng Zhuo was silent.

The young woman was right. After entering the [Small Town World], the explorer man, the thief, and the fat man all want to take his life.

If the hundreds of thousands of people below have become such murderers, then it may be best to let them die naturally.

Zheng Zhuo began to waver. His gaze swayed as a result......

…… And then.

He saw the [Subconscious Vote] beside him.

It's all gibberish, but the progress bar is still wobbling. The numbers are garbled and incomprehensible, but they are also changing.

“……”

“…… May I ask one last question? ”

Zheng Zhuo lowered his head and said.

"All of humanity...... Are we able to see and understand what we are doing in our subconscious? Can they react immediately, what are we doing? ”

The young woman looked at the computer screen.

"I don't think so. It takes years or even decades for an active, conscious person to complete the inscription of the subconscious. Someone who can immediately react to what you're doing...... Only people who lost consciousness. That is, the people who inhabit this world. ”

“…… I understand. ”

Zheng Zhuo suddenly raised his head.

He walked towards the young woman.

“…… How? ”

"My [Collective Subconscious] software has a voting feature. Will vote according to what is in my heart. Sometimes, I don't have a clear picture of what's going on, but the numbers still vote on a case-by-case basis......"

…… It's like seeing what I'm doing.

Zheng Zhuo said.

"The votes were almost always for me."

I don't know who the questioner is, I don't know who the answerer is. Answering out of the "subconscious", there is no position of one's own, and there is no one who watches the excitement.

…… No, there may be a position of its own.

"The largest percentage of tickets has always been hopeful...... I can, live. ”

Zheng Zhuo walked up to the young woman.

He looked at the young woman.

"The people who participate in the [voting] are the consciousnesses trapped in the [collective subconscious]. According to you, they should have been distorted by experimentation, completely changed in their morals and values, and turned into beasts that had eaten human flesh. ”

Zheng Zhuo looked at the young woman's eyes and said.

"It's easy to imagine such a situation, right? But that's not the case. Even after all of that, there are still more people who want me to live. On the premise that he has lost hope, he still hopes that the people he has never met will not repeat his mistakes, but will win and live, as the vote shows-"

"—Can't such a person be called a good person?"

"They didn't turn into demons. After the separation of consciousness and personality, the distorted personality is restored. They are restored to their original human form. ”

Zheng Zhuo said word by word.

"For most people, it's a good look."

……

“…… They can't get out anymore. ”

The young woman raised an eyebrow and looked at him.

"No, it's still possible."

Zheng Zhuo said with certainty.

"If there is a person who goes and tells them what to do to leave...... You can get out. ”

“……”

This time, it was the young woman who was silent for a while.

"You're going to be that guy?"

She asked.

"If they hadn't helped me, I wouldn't have been the last participant to come out."

Zheng Zhuo said.

"In that case, I would be one of the people down there now."

"If I owe a favor for my life, after I go out, I will never be able to sleep or eat."

I don't want to live like that. Zheng Zhuo continued.

"I'll go down. Go down to the [Subconscious World]. How many can I ...... saved? I'll save a few. ”

……

…………

………………

The young woman looked at him for a moment. Her silence made Zheng Zhuo, who was originally firm, gradually lose his confidence.

Just when Zheng Zhuo thought that she was going to forcibly throw her noisy guy out of the [Collective Subconscious], or even into the [Subconscious World] below......

The young woman snapped her fingers.

Eleven golden cards emerged around her fingertips, spinning slowly.

"Here are the personalities of the eleven people who participated in the [Small Town World] with you. Their consciousness has fallen into a world below. ”

The young woman said slowly.

"I'm going to put these personalities into the world they belong to and put them in a prominent position. In this way, consciousness is attracted to the personality and actively approaches the personality. ”

"They still need help. But it's much easier for you to help. As soon as consciousness touches the personality, the participant can return here. You will also return at the same time. ”

The young woman said.

The pure white color of this space is to protect the brain from being overwhelmed with information. Here you will be protected and sent out of the subconscious world when you recover.

……

“…… Thank you! ”

She agreed! Zheng Zhuo was overjoyed.

"Pick one."

The young woman waved her hand. Eleven golden cards flew in front of Zheng Zhuo.

"Saving people starts with one person. You have to be careful, many functions have been turned off, and your connection between the spirit and the body has become quite fragile. Next, death in the [subconscious world] will mean real death. ”

“…… Thank you for telling me about this. I will. ”

Zheng Zhuo nodded. He reached out and touched the cards.

Each card touches a participant and the world that person is in.

……

[The naïve]. A young girl learns swordsmanship and magic in a castle-like school.

[Wise Man]. A thin young man with glasses sails aboard a steamer, looking at a map and many ancient materials while looking out into the dark sea.

[Rebel]. Fat men once seen running around medieval castles at night.

[Magician]. An old man wanders in the wilderness in an RV. His shotgun never leaves his body to be on the lookout for possible zombies.

[Hero]. A tall man in power armor fights monsters on the battlefield. In the distance, huge airships and fleets can be seen near the ground.

[Love species]. I have seen fashionable women standing at the entrance of the dirty streets under the glittering modern city, talking and laughing with customers.

[Joker]. A red-haired woman slips into the towering, fantastical light of the tower, reading a dangerous collection.

The thief man I've seen before sneaks deep into the dungeon.

[Caregivers]. A middle-aged woman works on a farm deep in the forest.

[Ruler]. The explorer man I once saw drinking in the inn.

[Creator]. A beautiful woman with a sword on her back looks out at the pavilions in the distance from the towering mountain.

……

Everyone is different......

Zheng Zhuo stared intently at the cards.

And when Zheng Zhuo was choosing, the young woman kept staring at him.

“…… Ordinary people don't risk their lives to do such a thing. ”

The young woman said suddenly.

"You're weird."

“…… Ha ha...... Sometimes, I don't know what I'm doing. ”

Zheng Zhuo's eyes were still glued to those cards. He smiled and replied.

"A few days ago, I just smashed the chassis on the leader's head in front of the whole office staff."

He said.

"At the time, I didn't really know what I was doing. Now, my actions are a little more understandable than they were then: I think it's because I'm unemployed. I'm idle, and when I'm free, I want to do more. And ......"

“…… Save. I thought, this must be the right thing to do, right? Looking back, there were too many regrets in the past. I'm always worried about this, worried about that, turning a blind eye to the problems in front of me, living up to the expectations of others, and throwing trouble on others in order to protect myself. Avoid the things that are right but difficult to do, the things that are right but worry about the consequences, the things that are right but will lose your own interests, and live like that......"

He held out his hand to one of the cards.

“…… As a result, things didn't get better. I wasn't happy at all, and in the end, I was unemployed. ”

Zheng Zhuo turned around and smiled at the young woman.

"So this time, I want to make the absolutely right choice."

……

The golden light soon illuminated the pure white space, enveloping him completely.

And with the appearance of this golden light, the page of [Subconscious Voting] also returned to normal.

Above that, a new voting page quickly appeared.
