[Option 2]

【Zhuang Yusheng】

……

Zhuang Yusheng shouted, "This is a strange thing." This Zheng Zhuo can't be regarded as not hearing.

"Hey! What happened? Feed!? Zhuang Yusheng—"

He shouted, approaching in the direction of Zhuang Yusheng.

Gradually, Chu Huairen's voice, Tao Tao's voice, and the figure that could be vaguely felt behind him were all left behind him.

The golden light intensified, making it difficult for Zheng Zhuo to open his eyes.

“…… Uh......"

A fierce golden light engulfed him.

When the perception is clear again......

Woo - wow - wow - wow -

Zheng Zhuo heard the siren.

Fire sirens blaring all around.

Zheng Zhuo found himself standing on the street, looking up at the sky.

The sky is red as the sun sets. But that red doesn't just come from the sunset.

Thick smoke rose from the low shantytowns, billowing up huge columns of smoke under the sky. At the bottom of the shantytown, tongues of fire swayed and crackled.

The smell of burning was all over the nasal passages. In the distance, the fire truck could not drive into the crowded shantytown, and could only stop at the intersection half-diagonally. Firefighters brought water in from the outside, carrying hoses and shouting in accented tones, "Let go, let go!" ”

Everywhere there was the sound of residents running and talking. In the midst of the noise, the waterline sprayed into the fire, and the crowd was in a commotion.

And Zheng Zhuo's perspective just stared blankly at the scene.

“…… Oops......"

He heard the owner of the consciousness he had entered muttering.

“…… My home...... It's mine...... There aren't many things, but ...... Fire ......"

"I don't think I put it......"

"Oh my God, oh my God, how much does this have to pay...... No, no, bite to death, it's not my fault to bite......"

"Zhuang Yusheng!"

Zheng Zhuo shouted.

The owner of consciousness was visibly taken aback. He shuddered, then looked around.

"It's me, Zheng Zhuo." He said, "Don't look for it, I'm in your head." ”

Zheng ...... Zheng Zhuo......? Yes. That, that, [Subconscious] ...... [Dungeon World]...... How are you in my head? ”

"Good thing you remember."

At least it avoids explaining it from scratch. Zheng Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief and thought for a while.

"[The collective subconscious] is going to be turned off, and it can't be used anymore. I'll get into your head also because of the temporary effects during the shutdown. ”

"Huh!? Is this closed? Don't! ”

Zhuang Yusheng shook his head. He walked outside a pawn shop on the side of the road. Zheng Zhuo passed through the glass façade of the pawn shop and vaguely saw Zhuang Yusheng's unshaven face and the depressed expression on his face.

"Good guys, good guys...... I didn't bring out a penny, I didn't earn a penny! It's a very painful experience, dying and dying...... Finally...... He burned all my belongings...... Shut it down now...... Liars, liars at all, ah-"

He hugged his head.

"Stop...... Stop! ”

Zhuang Yusheng's shout echoed directly in his head, shaking Zheng Zhuo's head and swelling. He yelled for Zhuang Yusheng to stop.

"You just said you burned all your belongings?"

Zheng Zhuo held back his headache and asked.

"I heard you say, 'There's something weird,' that's why I came......"

"Oh yes!"

Zhuang Yusheng looked around nervously. Then, he hid in an uninhabited alley next to the pawn shop and kept his voice down.

"The golden light! There is a golden glow in my phone. The first time I appeared, I heard your voice, I called but no one answered. ”

"I thought it was some kind of magical opportunity...... As a result, it didn't take long for a second golden light to come. ”

"Good guy, this is a terrible thing, guess what!"

"Blue flames flew out of the screen! Oh my god—the size of a human head! But it scared me so much that I lost my soul - I hit it with the futon, and the more I hit it, the faster it burned, so that I jumped out of the window - you see, you see—"

He lifted his foot.

"I didn't even have time to put on my shoes! I ran a few streets in one go—"

Then I saw the fire burst onto the ground. Ouch hey! I live in a small house with a cover on top of the prefabricated panel warehouse! This time, I can't give him tens of thousands of dollars of goods—that old man will kill me—"

In the second half, Zhuang Yusheng began to chatter again. Zheng Zhuo was used to it, and he wasn't listening.

Fire?

Blue fire came out of the phone screen......

He didn't have much of an impression of what happened after the [Evolution World] entered the Tower. However, he still vaguely remembers some of the images. He remembered stretching out his arm made of flames, which turned blue when it came into contact with the light outside.

"Blue flames...... Could it be ......?"

Could it be my body in the [Evolution World]?

Zheng Zhuo thought that he had experienced this before. When he first got the [Collective Subconscious] software, his mobile phone once burst into flames.

And arcs, weapons, and so on......

Zheng Zhuo looked at the fire that was gradually being extinguished in front of him, and his heart began to furle.

It seems that the channel opened by young women can not only allow their own consciousness to enter the consciousness of others through the [subconscious world], but also allow other things to escape into reality.

“…… How does it work? ”

It is only enough that the spirit can shuttle, and it is too unimaginable that matter and energy can also shuttle.

"What?"

"No, I just found a bug." Zheng Zhuo said, "I don't know if this is a [subconscious] bug...... It's still a real-world bug. ”

Zhuang Yusheng obviously didn't understand. He was confused.

"Does your phone still work?"

"Ah......" Zhuang Yusheng hurriedly took out his mobile phone. It's a very old cheap brand, but it can still be shiny.

"It works."

"Anyway, you remember a number first."

Zheng Zhuo told Zhuang Yusheng his mobile phone number.

"After confirming that I am leaving, you call me in a few minutes. If I don't answer, you call every few minutes until I pick up. ”

"Huh!?"

To say this, Zhuang Yusheng is no longer depressed.

"Is there still a way to get money out of it? Take me with you? ”

"Well...... Probably so. ”

Zheng Zhuo was confused.

Chu Huairen did quite well in the [Evolution World], and if it was possible, he wanted to continue to ask Chu Huairen. However, he didn't know if he could entrust the same person continuously.

If you can't, finding a substitute for Zhuang Yusheng is at least a better choice than yourself.

As for whether you can get the money......

"Do you have any [realistic abilities]?"

"Realistic ability?"

"It's fine."

Zhuang Yusheng obviously hadn't heard of it. Zheng Zhuo was not surprised by this - Chu Huairen had never mentioned to him about [Realistic Ability].

“(…… None of them? )”

But the young woman who was also a participant seemed to have [practical ability].

(What's going on?) )”

He decided to ask the young woman about it.

……

Soon after, the police found Zhuang Yusheng. They wanted to know more about the fire and took him to the police station in a police car.

Zhuang Yusheng said to Zheng Zhuo: "Fortunately, you are also here!" and help me come up with ideas", but perhaps one body was too tired to support two mentals, and he accidentally fell asleep while waiting on a bench outside the police station.

Zheng Zhuo also returned to the golden space.

“…… I hope Zhuang Yusheng is okay......"

That was his only impression.

He flew in the golden space, and gradually saw the appearance of the [pure white space].

Next, you'll go in and select the abilities you've acquired......

That's when it happened.

Jingle bell bell bell.

Zheng Zhuo heard a familiar mobile phone ringing.

Jingle bell bell bell.

He looked up and saw his real room in the other direction. The bell rang from the room.

He moved his body and realized that he could go in that direction as well.

"Huh?"

It seems that you can go straight back to reality.

Although I am a little concerned about the ringtone...... But in that case, will you be able to get the ability?
