5.2 per cent for option I, 5.2 per cent for option two, 10.5 per cent for option four, 57.9 per cent for option five, 5.2 per cent for option VI, 10.5 per cent for option VII and 5.2 per cent for option VIII.

……

[Option 5]

【Joker】

……

Zheng Zhuo repeatedly alternately checked the [Subconscious World] page and the [Subconscious Voting] page. The most votes are gathered in the fifth world: the world where the clown is.

"It's dangerous when you look at it......"

If Zheng Zhuo remembered correctly, the first few times he saw it, the [Joker] was just trying to summon. This time, it was a disaster-like scene.

He squinted his eyes and carefully examined what was displayed on his phone. The eternal darkness of the sky was filled with thunder and lightning, and on the ground, alien monsters staggered and looked around.

"Sss

He didn't even see the culprit again. The screen on his phone moved, and all he could see was the towering tower in the distance.

“…… Should this say rescue......"

It is more appropriate to say "stop" than "rescue". No matter how you look at it, the next thing to come into contact with is a bad guy.

However, he was sure that it would get worse and worse if it continued like this.

Besides, she is not the only one in the subconscious world. For example, in the [Ocean World], he brought out a lot more. After that, looking at the number of [egg sheaths], the young women were also successively bringing out the rescued personalities from the world he cleared.

Just for these people, there is also the value of diving in.

“…… I believe that when I return from the [Subconscious World], my personality will be able to recover. Big deal, keep her in the young woman's [egg sheath]. ”

Zheng Zhuo nodded and made up his mind.

That's when it happened.

"Jingle Bell Bell Jingle Bell Bell—"

Zheng Zhuo's phone rang.

"Who?"

He looked at his phone, which was a foreign number.

Could it be Chu Huairen? He picked it up.

"Hey, hey?"

“……”

There was silence on the other side.

"Hello?"

“……”

Still silent.

Practical joke? Zheng Zhuo hung up the phone, looked at the world in the phone for a while, and then went to get some noodles to eat.

While the noodles were cooking, he received that strange phone call again. It's the same as before: no sound.

"What a prank you've been playing lately."

Zheng Zhuo said, blocking the number.

……

Later that afternoon, Zheng Zhuo took a shower. He wiped his hair and came out of the bathroom when he heard a "ding-dong" sound from his phone.

He walked over to the table, opened the [Collective Subconscious] software again, and found that the words "under debugging" had disappeared.

The interface emits a warm yellow glow.

"You can enter."

Zheng Zhuo touched his chin and called Chu Huairen.

The phone rang a few times and it was connected. A very unhappy voice came from the other side.

"Do you know I'm four o'clock in the morning right now?" Chu Huairen complained, "...... Forget it, the notification is coming? ”

"Yes."

No way, most of the time the maintenance ends in the early hours of the morning. It's not your early morning, it's someone else's early morning.

"Do you want to start now?"

“OK。”

"Three, two......"

"One."

Zheng Zhuo clicked on the screen that emitted golden light. The screen looks getting bigger. His consciousness was withdrawn into a golden glow.

Zheng Zhuo fell from the sky - he found that he had grown accustomed to the feeling. He walked through the [pure white space], and the young woman waved at him.

He judged that this meant nothing important.

"Okay. Enter in one go. ”

Therefore, he did not stay in the [Pure White Space]. He crossed over there and continued to fall. The sky was getting farther and farther away from him, and it was pitch black beneath his feet, and the barren, barren earth was getting closer and closer.

The golden light around him is getting stronger. Zheng Zhuo turned his head and saw a golden card catching up with him.

The card depicts a clown stepping on a large ball and tossing six bottles in his hand to perform in the spotlight of the circus.

The card flies forward. The golden light is getting stronger and stronger. Zheng Zhuo once again saw the scene he had seen before: a night of lightning and thunder, a red-haired woman with a [clown] personality climbed a rope to climb the tower. She was soaking wet, but she didn't care too much, and as soon as she tumbled into the tower, she threw herself at the wall full of books.

She kept looking and kept trying. The candle was placed behind her, Zheng Zhuo couldn't see her expression clearly, only that she checked from night to day, and finally, took out an ominous book that emitted a pitch-black light.

[Joker] read the book. Reading from day to night, and from night to day, clouds gather in the sky.

Finally, with a thunderclap, lightning split the earth. Black slime spills out of the ground. The vegetation is dry, the water is dry, the earth is cracked, and everything is dyed a lifeless gray-black. The sky is no longer clear, and it is always cloudy in the morning and evening, just like before a rainstorm. The beasts howled and went berserk, their bodies swelling and growing all sorts of alien organs.

Panicked people ran out of the glittering beautiful city, however, after a few steps, they began to wail in pain. They scratched their necks and their faces began to melt. Gradually, their backs clumped, fangs protruding from their mouths, and thorns and nails grew from their arms. They can't speak the language of the system again, and their throats just repeat indescribable single-byte phrases. They went from the city to the wasteland, wailing all day long, wandering the land.

It's purgatory on earth. After Zheng Zhuo experienced the gentle environment of the [Magic Wizard Academy World], he once again came to a harsh world. He had hair on his back, but convinced himself to calm down.

"It's an expanded version of the Ocean World."

He tried to convince himself.

The golden-glowing [Joker] card slowly flew away from him. It flew towards the tower, merging into the ominous book that glowed black. Now, it is placed on the table by red-haired women.

This is the closest card Zheng Zhuo has ever seen to the master. When the card flew into the book, Zheng Zhuo even saw that the red-haired woman seemed to have a feeling and glanced at the book.

But she didn't pick up the book. She jumped onto the lattice and admired everything in the distance.

And Zheng Zhuo's perspective also slid over the monsters that had been turned into people under his feet. He flew off into the distance, over the mountains, over the villages, and then, slowly, approaching a barren plain.

On the plains, there is nothing.

"Do you want to start here?" He was a little confused.

……

[Confirmed participants: [Explorer].] Immobilization: Identification, Quick Cast, Transformation. 】

……

After falling to the ground, a green box popped up in front of Zheng Zhuo's eyes.

……

【Please choose whether to replace your fixed capacity ......】

【…… If you confirm the world adjustment, [Quick Cast] and [Transformation] will not be available. Can be integrated and replaced with the ability [Evolution]. 】

[Please check if you want to replace it in this world.] 】

……

"Huh?"

The tip of replacing the fixed ability is the first time Zheng Zhuo has seen it.

"In this way, every time I enter the world, I ask if I want to replace it."

Because there was no such hint in the previous worlds, he almost forgot about it.

"Since they can't be used, of course they have to be replaced."

Something is better than nothing. He clicked Yes. The column of his fixed ability soon became: [Fixed ability: identification, evolution]

"[Evolution]...... I don't know what kind of ability it is. ”

Zheng Zhuo began to develop some interest in this terrible world.

At this moment, a large box popped up in front of him.

……

【Please select your origin.】 】

……

It was the first time he had seen the option to see not words, but pictures.

There are four drawings in total.

The first image is a viscous mass of gelatinous organisms. Zheng Zhuo has seen it in some games: in those games, their names are slimes.

The second image is of an arthropod. It looks a lot like a spider on Earth.

The third image is of a skeleton. At least, it's a human skeleton.

The fourth diagram is a mass of elemental energy. To say it's elemental energy is a bit too exalting - it's like a flickering ghostly fire.

"Huh."

Zheng Zhuo was stunned.

It turns out that "evolution" means this. Evolve from the basal species.

…… Saying.

"Can't I be human!?"

Zheng Zhuo's cry echoed in the golden space.

……
