……

[Option 4]

[Go chase with her]

……

"Wait! It's dangerous over there! ”

Zheng Zhuo shouted, but the young woman had already flown away. The invisible torrent was rampaging in the [Golden Space], Zheng Zhuo was constantly blocked, pushed away, and he couldn't get closer. In the blink of an eye, the young woman had already distanced herself from him.

"Hell!"

Zheng Zhuo jumped over the large object he had collided with. He hurried forward.

The young woman flies ahead. Around her, some transparent shapes could be faintly seen in the golden fluid.

Those shapes converge and separate, flowing towards the channel where the light spot opens.

Those transparent shapes reminded Zheng Zhuo of the faint consciousness that he had occasionally brought out from the [Subconscious World] before.

It was the kind of consciousness that had grabbed his feet in the [Ocean World].

It was also captured by the "professor" and became the consciousness of the black suit team.

These consciousnesses are all people who are lost in the subconscious......

In the [Zombie World], the young woman once told him that her brother was also a person who was lost in the subconscious. He turned into a vegetative state and has not yet woken up.

(Did you see her brother in those transparent shapes!?) )”

Zheng Zhuo desperately pushed away the invisible things that crashed into him. However, the distance between him and the young woman has never been closer.

The young woman had said that she was not a participant.

If Zheng Zhuo disappears, she will gradually lose herself when she enters the [Subconscious World].

(Doesn't that have to be over...... Feed! Wait a minute! )”

Zheng Zhuo saw the young woman put her hand into the golden fluid. She seemed to be trying to pull a transparent figure out.

That thing was really pulled by her. Zheng Zhuo saw transparent, viscous clumps slip out of the torrent of light.

However.

It was heavier than expected.

“!”

The young woman was dragged down by the transparent mass!

And directly below her, there was a gap in the light spot.

It was pitch black inside.

“……!”

It was too late for the young women to react. She dragged the lump into the gap—

And then.

A hand grabbed her.

She looked up.

It's Zheng Zhuo.

Zheng Zhuo lay outside the gap opened by the light spot and grabbed her.

"You...... Hang on...... Stay ......"

Damn it! The weight of the transparent mass was beyond Zheng Zhuo's imagination. As soon as he got his hands on it, he was pulled to the mouth of the cave.

It's like grabbing an adult male and a grown female at the same time.

"Ah......h

No more.

The black hole seems to have a suction. Zheng Zhuo was also pulled inward.

"You...... Let go! ”

He heard the young woman exclaim.

"Say...... What...... Well, this can save ......."

Zheng Zhuo's words were not finished.

Boom.

Suddenly, the torrent of gold overhead broke. Huge golden jets of water poured down from above.

"-What-"

Zheng Zhuo, the young woman, and the transparent mass were all knocked into the hole opened by the light spot by the golden torrent.

“……”

The golden light drowned Zheng Zhuo. Zheng Zhuo fell downward. Countless clumps similar to the transparent clumps that the young woman had grabbed pushed and screamed, leaving him with an unbearable headache and unable to speak.

However, in the last sight he had, he saw something mixed in the golden torrent approaching him.

It was a small, golden card.

It flew in front of Zheng Zhuo. Zheng Zhuo saw the pattern of the [Rebel] holding up the banner of resistance printed on its surface.

Followed by.

Directly underneath what was supposed to be darkness, a new exit was opened again.

The sea breeze blows upwards. Zheng Zhuo saw the blue, endless ocean.

and the dark, barren medieval continent that floats above.

……

…………

………………

The wind blew through the cracked earth, carrying away the dead grass, the dust, and the crow's crow.

The girl pushed open the black door, shook the black-gray curtains, and looked up into the distance.

It's black everywhere. The trees are black, the earth is black, the mountains and castles in the distance are black, and even the sky is black.

The girl wakes up very early. But the sun has risen. The pitch-black sun is forever in a state of total solar eclipse, with only a faint circle of light on the side.

The girl looked to the west. In the past, there used to be a village there. The elders of the village say that the sky is like this because the land has been cursed.

No matter how lascivious and brutal the lords of the past were, they still had the right to inherit the land. Shea Shu and his rebel army should not have overthrown them.

The old men said.

It is because they overthrew the lord that we have suffered this calamity.

There is never day, there is never night. Plants cannot grow, and livestock are plagued by diseases.

The old people did nothing but sit at the entrance of the village, coughing and repeating the words. It's like a clump of curled roots.

And those old people have also left one by one in the past days.

It's been a long time since the girl heard this story again.

She had no particular fondness or dislike for the story. But her brother hated the story.

Every time he went to the village to buy black bread, he had to walk quickly through the entrance of the village, and he would block the girl's ears and tell her, "Don't listen."

He said that Sheh Shu and his rebel army were right. Even if the earth is cursed because of it, so are they.

But the brother who could say that is gone.

The girl looked to the west again.

My brother went to fetch water. The land is polluted and there is no good water source at all. When the old people died, the well in the village withered. The elder brother had to travel further afield to find water for his family.

Each time, he had to walk a long way. It's been a long, long time to come back.

But this time, it's been extraordinarily long.

The sun no longer sets, and the girl doesn't know how much time has passed. She waited, waited.

The maiden went out of the house, turned over all the moss, and drenched them with the only remaining water.

That's the only crop they can grow now, and the only thing they can eat.

My brother never came back.

So, she went back to the house. Because he had nothing to do, he lay on the table.

I don't know how long it has been.

The clock struck three times.

Knock, knock, knock.

Boom.

A little more. It was sent from the doorstep.

There was a knock on the door.

The girl sat up. She got up from the table and pushed the door open.

A man stands outside the door.

It was a strange man. He was embarrassed, pale, and dying.

The maiden had never seen him.

For some reason, however, his face felt a little familiar to her.

“…… You're younger in this world than I know. ”

The man spoke in a hoarse voice.

“……!”

He startled the girl.

The elder brother said that everyone except him was a robber. You can't open the door. The girl hurriedly closed the door......

The door was slammed down.

"Don't close the door, it's me."

The tired man blocked the door with his hands. He said.

"I'm Zheng Zhuo."
