[Option 1]

【Inquiry】

……

The two walked all the way to the van, and Guo Qian pulled the car door.

The doors haven't opened yet. He looked back.

Zheng Zhuo was stuffing his phone into his pocket at this time.

Voting shows that Ask is the choice of more people.

He can understand. Information...... For the current stage, it is the most critical.

His skills [Black Hand] and [Persuasion] are both related to intelligence. For the sake of intelligence, it is worth taking a slight risk.

Merely......

(I'm the one who takes these risks.) ）”

He still complained a few words in his heart.

……

"I have something to ask you first."

Zheng Zhuo did not open the car door. He walked to the back of the van and opened the trunk.

The door was lifted. The brand-new suit appeared in front of Guo Qian's eyes.

"Do you have an impression of this?"

"Suits? How could it be in my car? I ......"

"I ......"

Zheng Zhuo kept observing Guo Qian's expression. When he saw that the other person was starting to become unstable again—starting to tremble, his expression became menacing—he knew he was about to have another seizure.

(Wouldn't it be okay to ask the key points?) Damn it! ）”

Zheng Zhuo immediately pressed Guo Qian again with his backhand. His grappling is the most effective means of control in one-on-one situations.

"Hey! Sober up! ”

"I ...... I am...... I ......"

(Arresting people in the world of martial arts.) In the real world, you have to arrest people. ）”

Zheng Zhuo smiled bitterly in his heart. He grabbed Guo Qian's hand behind his back, and closed the trunk with his other hand.

"You need to calm down."

Zheng Zhuo pressed the key and opened the car door. He threw Guo Qian into the back seat.

This time, he tied Guo Qian's hands and feet. After completing all this, he went to the convenience store and bought a cheap blanket and put it on Guo Qian's body, covering his hands and feet that were tied.

He didn't want to be alerted to the police while he was on the highway.

……

Guo Qian's return to a state of being able to communicate was after Zheng Zhuo drove more than 100 kilometers on the highway.

"Ahem, ahem, ah......"

There was a short breath and coughing sound from the back seat, and after a moment, Guo Qian spoke.

Not his previous uninterrupted, uncommunicable self-talk, but normal volume.

"Fuck, when did you get on the highway?"

"A little over an hour ago. You lose consciousness much earlier. ”

"I ...... I saw that suit...... That's right. That's right. I think about it a little bit...... I...... I haven't lived here in a long time. ”

It's been a long time since you've lived "here"?

"What do you mean?" Zheng Zhuo asked as he drove.

"I've been in the Middle Ages before...... Life in the town. You may have a hard time believing it, but it's true! Low houses, dirty environments, slang-filled rough people...... I...... I can still remember the smell of the wind there......"

[Subconscious World]?

Zheng Zhuo became vigilant.

"And then?"

"Then, somehow, I ended up in a modern house. There were many people in black suits standing around. They say things like, 'Here's one, put it in' or something like that. One of them gave me a suit and ...... Let me...... Let me do one thing...... He showed me a piece of software...... A red software ......"

Guo Qian hugged his head.

"Uh...... Let me go to you...... Take it to college...... Wearing a black suit to go in......"

“……”

Zheng Zhuo operated the steering wheel and did not speak. However, his heart was turbulent because of Guo Qian's speech.

That professor's team is trying to bring out human consciousness from the subconscious world? The person brought out can become one of them when they complete one thing......

"Hey, Guo Qian, do you remember what you looked like in a medieval castle?"

"I ...... Huh? Strange ......"

Guo Qian didn't necessarily return to his own body.

Zheng Zhuo didn't say this, but his expression had become serious.

If so, it would explain why I don't have any identification and don't know everything about my past.

Because it's not "yourself" at all.

(Is it easier to control this way?) Or is it better to brainwash? ）”

Zheng Zhuo pondered.

(Does the young woman know that the professor's team is constantly messing people with their minds?) How did the professor's team do this? Is it the young women's lack of defensive measures, or is it the professor's team that has captured the self-detached consciousness? Has this been done continuously since the beginning, or has it only recently started to replenish staff? ）”

Zheng Zhuo briefly slid the navigation of his phone away. He opened the [Collective Subconscious] software.

The World interface is still in debugging.

(Find Zhuang Yusheng first.) ）”

Zhuang Yusheng is likely to be entangled with those who wear suits. Find more people in suits, and maybe learn more information.

……

Where Zhuang Yusheng was, Zheng Zhuo had heard him talk about it, and Chu Huairen had also given him the address.

It was a far away place. Although Zheng Zhuo had saved some distance by traveling from Taotao's city, it still took four or five days to get there by car.

Fortunately, Guo Qian regained his senses.

Zheng Zhuo stopped at a high-speed rest area and untied him. The two continued on their way. He asked Guo Qian to sleep for a while, and then let him take over the drive at night.

In fact, he also thought about whether it was safe: in case Guo Qian suddenly had a seizure in the middle of the road, the car would inevitably be destroyed and killed on the highway.

However, it saves a lot of time.

Drive day and night, and you can get there in three days. Considering the long distance, this time is already considered to be a very fast time.

And the sooner you arrive, the more likely you are to come into contact with Zhuang Yusheng.

Now we can only take a little risk.

Of course, that's what Zheng Zhuo thought in his heart.

……

The van buzzed and vibrated as it drove forward, jolting slightly on the road. Zheng Zhuo lay in the back seat, staring at the pitch-black roof of the van.

It was already three o'clock in the morning. His nerves were so tense that it was hard for him to fall asleep.

Ay.

Zheng Zhuo sighed and took out his phone. The screen lit up, illuminating his face.

He wanted to see something, but he didn't know what he really wanted to see. After swiping his phone for a long time, he clicked on the [Collective Subconscious] software again.

([The world] is still the same...... Well? ）”

The screen screen was reflected in Zheng Zhuo's eyes, and he was stunned for a moment.

On the interface of the [Subconscious World], the information has changed.

The option for [Debugging] is gone. As usual, this means that he can enter the subconscious world again.

But this time he wasn't so sure.

Because the previous entrance, [Pure White World], has become gray and unselectable. Just like the rest of the worlds he's already passed through.

“…… What's going on? ”

Zheng Zhuo checked it repeatedly this night, but the interface remained unchanged.

He also tried to talk to the interface. Rightfully so, no one answered him.

……

Zheng Zhuo fell asleep at dawn. About four hours later, he woke up.

The first thing he did when he woke up was to reconfirm the Subconscious World.

Still uncheckable.

What's going on?

Is there something wrong with the debugging? Is it an internal fault?

Zheng Zhuo began to feel that something was wrong.

He remembered that he had forcibly accessed [in the middle of debugging] in order to avoid being pursued.

Should it be forcibly accessed now, as it was then?

If this is just a matter of young women dealing with the problem, forced visits can have a very bad impact. Maybe we should wait for the interface to reopen, or find Zhuang Yusheng and those men in black to know the situation inside from the real world.

But if there is an accident inside, visit as soon as possible to carry out the rescue in time to avoid worse consequences.

“…… What can I do? ”

Zheng Zhuo stared at his phone.

……
