[Option 3]

【Pain】

……

With a sharp sound of glass shattering, everything in front of him shattered.

The beautiful undersea city flew away and disappeared, and what appeared in front of Zheng Zhuo's eyes was what he had ever seen-

No.

The most horrible, evil, and desecrated capital ever seen by any primate.

Spikes, cilia, antennae, and abscesses protrude from green stone, too tall to come from the earth, densely covering the ocean floor. The abominations entangle and pierce each other, creating perverse structures that completely defy the laws of geometry and physics. The spatial structures and physical dimensions of all these living building materials that had never been seen before were sensational, and the mere glance at them caused a sensation of discomfort that was so strong that it far exceeded the power of the individual's willpower, and all reason evaporated from it.

Beautiful gemstones have become all kinds of eyeballs and mouthparts, bright and warm lights have become condensed filth, and the transparent crystal walls have disappeared in favor of those green stones. Take a closer look, the surface of those stones is covered with dense -

Threatened, agitated, frightened, hopeless.

Zheng Zhuo was completely penetrated by the deepest and most vicious collection of negative feelings constructed in the human subconscious.

He left consciousness with his choice, but at the same time.

Something is broken.

"--Woo-"

The water pressure in the deep sea, which had never existed before, suddenly appeared.

Zheng Zhuo's face contorted. Bubbles erupted from his mouth and nose. The sea squeezed his body for a moment, squeezing his lungs into clumps smaller than fists.

Lack of blood circulation, constant suffocation and eternal pain.

Everything in the deep sea returned to him, but it did not take his life.

So it becomes a kind of torture without any mercy.

"Hee-hee."

"Haha."

"Huhuhu."

"Isn't it, isn't it?"

The humanoid dots of light wrapped around Zheng Zhuo, who was not humanoid because of the pain.

No...... They should be called those things that "used to be humanoid points of light".

Now, they have long since ceased to shine. After the horizon was destroyed and the real seabed was re-revealed, Zheng Zhuo was followed by a group of undead who dragged the rotting remains.

Some of them held ugly, profane statues, others strange geometric shapes that blurred at a glance, and still others dragged old books bound from pages of unknown material. They lifted their hollow, half-skeletal heads and let out a crisp laugh.

"Forward, forward!"

They said.

"Go ahead! Look, your companion is leaving, grab him! ”

“……”

Zheng Zhuo slowly raised his face.

He was exposed to the truth. The truth is gone...... Then, consciousness and reason are left.

Therefore, he did not forget his purpose either. Rather, the pain was like a soldering iron that burned the only hope into his spirit.

“（…… Right...... Yes, just a little bit...... It's just a little bit ...... Finish...... ）”

Zheng Zhuo's body was no longer conscious of the pain. But he found that he could still float forward as slowly as he wanted.

He walked through the oldest and most treacherous capital in the world, past buildings that couldn't even tell if they were concave or convex, living or dead.

He looked ahead again.

What was once a majestic and gorgeous palace has now become a huge door. The door was made of some kind of unknown stone, pure black throughout, and at the same time, emitted a black light.

Zheng Zhuo never knew anything that could emit black light.

The statue of the goddess erected in front of the huge door has also changed.

Bronze, ivory, and jade make up the statue. It was a man wearing a laurel wreath on his head. The man is tall and muscular, and his appearance is handsome and beautiful.

It's weird.

In this incongruous city, only the statue still retains a beauty that can be understood by humans.

Zheng Zhuo thought like this, and began to look at it carefully-

Right at this moment.

A primal fear, an instinct to avoid danger, struck him, causing him to bow his head uncontrollably.

“（…… Miscellaneous...... What...... ）”

His heart, which had been infinitely close to stopping because of the pressure of the deep sea, began to beat wildly again.

He understood.

That's the scariest thing here.

Zheng Zhuo floated.

He hadn't recovered from the impact he had just had, just staring blankly at the slanted ahead.

And then......

(It's him!) ）”

Zheng Zhuo saw Chu Huairen. Chu Huairen was slowly swimming in the direction of the statue and the gate along the fungus carpet that might be called a street.

Right...... Cards.

As long as Chu Huairen can make contact with the cards, all this torture can end.

Zheng Zhuo thought of this and moved forward desperately.

Every swing of his hands and feet brought him intense pain. But he kept moving forward, moving forward......

Zheng Zhuo crossed Chu Huairen, who was swimming very slowly. He got in front of him.

However, Chu Huairen's eyes were blank at the moment, just staring blankly ahead. He bumped into Zheng Zhuo and continued to float forward slowly.

Feed!

Zheng Zhuo wanted to speak, but couldn't make a sound. His hands curled up in a ball due to severe pain, unable to grasp Chu Huairen.

He had to swim forward as hard as he could. He kept moving forward, kept moving forward, and only felt that he was swimming faster......

He swam up the eerie, wriggling steps to the bottom of the statue.

(remember...... What you see when you enter the world...... It's here...... ）”

Zheng Zhuo didn't dare to look up. He began to scrape the sand at the bottom of the statue with his oddly twisted hands.

Every blow brings great pain. However, Zheng Zhuo knew that he would not die and would not be unconscious, which instead became the force that kept him going.

Card...... Golden card.

In the end, where is it......

The bottom of the statue is too big! Zheng Zhuo's speed of plowing the ground by hand was so slow.

Chu Huairen slowly floated over. He crossed Zheng Zhuo.

Zheng Zhuo was shocked.

Chu Huairen's destination was not the statue, but the door behind him! Seeing it, he was about to cross the statue—

Once inside, you're done!

The thought popped into my head. Zheng Zhuo slammed himself into the sand, swam over by inertia, and blocked in front of Chu Huairen.

But he still couldn't stop Chu Huairen, who was unconscious. You can only knock him back a little bit.

He took the opportunity to pluck away the sand with his feet.

However, the efficiency is too low. He couldn't keep it like this. Chu Huairen got closer and closer to the door.

The voices of the geists rang in my ears again.

It's those points of light that used to be. This time, they climbed onto Zheng Zhuo's shoulders, holding all sorts of disgusting items in their hands.

Use this!

They said.

Use this!

Finally. Finally.

Victory is at hand, don't you think so? Or are you willing to fail here?

For a small price......

will be able to fulfill your wishes.

They can still be taken out of this world! What do you think?

Pretty cost-effective, right?
