60 per cent for option one, 30 per cent for option two and 10 per cent for option three.

[Option 1]

【Chu Huairen】

……

"Chu Huairen? Is that you? ”

Zheng Zhuo resisted the dizzying sound of staggered conversation and asked loudly.

“…… It's ......"

Chu Huairen's voice was a little louder.

"I can't hear clearly!"

Zheng Zhuo tried to listen.

“…… Be...... I...... You ......"

The human voice was still faint, but it was getting louder.

“…… You...... Here......"

The golden light around the body became particularly dazzling. Zheng Zhuo couldn't help but close his eyes.

And then.

"Are you here?"

Suddenly, the sound was much clearer.

Zheng Zhuo slowly opened his eyes.

He didn't appear in the pure white space, nor did he return to where he was - the door of the small supermarket.

What he saw was a clean and tidy hotel room.

Warm yellow ceiling spotlights shine on low cabinets, TVs, sofas and small tables. Every piece of furniture is clean and tidy, and the exterior is all high-end. To their right, a large floor-to-ceiling glass window is covered by a curtain as thin as a light gauze, through which the warm daylight shines and leaves bright spots on the floor.

Zheng Zhuo's perspective is directly opposite the TV. He looked down and found himself lying on a large fluffy bed in a dark bathrobe. But he didn't feel his body at all. I can't feel my hands or feet, and I can't feel that this bed is supposed to be comfortable.

"Zheng Zhuo?"

The voice rang out again. It was close, like someone in the room was talking to him.

But no matter how you look at it, there is no second person in the room.

“…… It's me. ”

Zheng Zhuo replied slowly.

He realized that this time it was his own voice that had changed. His voice became a little muffled, as if it was echoing in his head.

"Can you see me?" The voice asked.

"I can't see. There was no one else in the room. Zheng Zhuo tried to shake his head, but he found that he could not control the body.

“…… Wait a minute. ”

His gaze swayed. Zheng Zhuo saw his body...... Or rather, the body that belongs to the gaze rolls over and gets out of bed, puts on slippers, and walks towards the entrance of the room.

The body passed by the low cabinet, and Zheng Zhuo saw that the low cabinet had English magazines and a list of hotel services on it.

Smack.

The light in the entrance was turned on. Zheng Zhuo stood in front of the entrance mirror.

Then, he saw the face in front of him clearly.

A polite temperament with glasses.

The person who appeared in the mirror was the [Wise Man] card player he had rescued in the [Ocean World].

Chu Huairen.

"That's probably how people with schizophrenia come to be." Chu Huairen raised his eyebrows and said.

"Chu Huairen? You're back to reality. Say...... Am I in your consciousness? Zheng Zhuo spoke...... More precisely, it was a conversation directly in Chu Huairen's head.

"At the moment, it seems that this should be the case."

"What's going on?"

"I want to know what's going on, too." Chu Huairen looked in the mirror and talked to Zheng Zhuo, "I can only vaguely remember the matter of [Ocean World]. Since I came out of there, I've been in an egg sheath in a white space. Over a long period of time, my consciousness gradually returned. During this time, I struggled to reminisce about this bizarre experience and regain a lot of details...... For example, the name of the main character. ”

"Then I heard a movement. For the first time, I noticed someone nearby. It was a young woman, sitting outside in front of a computer. She walked up to me and said, 'Okay'. Later, I lost consciousness and woke up in my original body. ”

"I'm trying to figure out what's going on, so I'm looking at the [Collective Subconscious] software on my phone. There was no world that could be entered, but after a short time, the interface of the [Subconscious World] glowed with golden light...... Then I heard the noise of fighting, and the faint imagery. I saw you in that golden light, so I cried out to you. ”

“…… I see. ”

"I participated in three [subconscious world] dives. It was one of the most unique experiences I've had – unlike anything I've ever experienced before. ”

"Haha...... This may also be your last experience. Zheng Zhuo thought so. However, he was not yet accustomed to speaking with his consciousness.

So he spoke straight out of his mouth.

"Oh? Why? ”

And Chu Huairen, who heard this, was obviously very interested in this.

Zheng Zhuo sighed. He's not very good at explaining.

"[Collective subconscious] software has security risks. The young woman who let you leave the Subconscious World is going to shut down the software. [Small Town World] is the last one. In the future, no one can dive into the subconscious through it anymore. ”

"That's right...... It's a shame. This should be a great advance in neuroscience. ”

Chu Huairen nodded. He seemed to have expected this answer.

"But why do you continue to participate?"

"Huh?"

"You." Chu Huairen stared at the mirror, "I fell directly from the [Small Town World] to the [Ocean World]. At first, I thought you were like me, and you accidentally fell into the [Small Town World] due to an accident when you left the [Small Town World], but after we left the [Ocean World], you entered at least one world and successfully left, right? ”

“……”

"It's not in line with what you said, 'The software is going to shut down, and no one can dive into the subconscious through it anymore.'" I'd like to hear why. ”

“…… All right. In fact, there are many people who are trapped in the subconscious world. ”

Zheng Zhuo told the truth. He realized that it was difficult for him to lie and hide from Chu Huairen.

"I'm trying to figure out how to help as many people as possible leave. Because once the [Collective Subconscious] software is shut down, everyone who is still in it will not be able to return to their bodies. ”

"That's right."

Chu Huairen paused for a moment. Zheng Zhuo saw that he was thinking in the mirror.

“…… You're such a nice guy. ”

Finally, he said this.

"Ugh. Ha ha. ”

Zheng Zhuozhen didn't know what he meant, so he could only laugh a few times.

"Can I help too?" Chu Huairen asked suddenly.

"What?" Zheng Zhuo was taken aback by his words, "No...... I mean, if the rescued person goes in again, won't it be in vain? It's not that good to come out of there—"

I have a [subconscious vote], Zheng Zhuo thought. The average person is not so good at grasping the capriciousness of the subconscious world.

"I'm interested in [the subconscious world]. At that time, I used this software because I wanted to know its mysteries. Chu Huairen was not in a hurry, he said slowly, "However, of course I won't enter again." There is no point in making a bet. ”

"I was trying to ask, like that was the case. I can see what you are doing in the subconscious world and talk to you in the real world through the [Collective Subconscious] software. ”

"And it's a third perspective."

"That alone would be of great help, wouldn't it?"

"I don't know what perspectives I can do. My perspective – can my software lens be attached to more people or objects? It would have been even more helpful if there had been more perspectives. When I stopped you, I felt a little like I was entering a subconscious world - I felt like I had been screaming for a long time, but by the time I regained consciousness, not even a minute had passed. The time is synchronized. It's definitely doable. ”

“……”

Zheng Zhuo began to think. Indeed, there is no danger in this way, and besides, it is better to help than not to have it.

"I need to ask more professional people."

Zheng Zhuo said. He thought of young women.

"Looking forward to hearing from you." Chu Huairen nodded.

Zheng Zhuo looked around.

"But...... How am I going to get ...... from you? Uh, leave? ”

"I have an idea." Chu Huairen bent down and opened the drawer.

He took out a small cardboard box and shook it. Zheng Zhuo didn't know English, and when he looked at the appearance of the carton, he felt like some kind of medicine.

"It's stability."

Chu Huairen said.

"The closest thing to the subconscious is deep sleep, right? I think it's possible to try it this way. ”

……

When Zheng Zhuo opened his eyes again, he was already in the [Pure White Space].

"It's really useful......"

Chu Huairen's proposal is really something.

Zheng Zhuo raised his head. He was in control again.

And the air in front of him was densely covered with green words.
