【Option [-]】

【Blue Dragon】: increase familiar
……

"Let's go together."

Zheng Zhuo said to Lan Long.

He wasn't sure where the blue dragon could follow him.He thought, he couldn't take the blue dragon out...

But it can help him.

[Persuasion] and [Black Hand] activated.

The blue dragon raised his head.From the corner of its snout, the blue of the scales slowly faded away, revealing the transparent, colorless interior.

The scales turned into shiny glitter and disappeared into the air.

The blue dragon emerged from its huge body, becoming a transparent, colorless, flowing dragon-shaped mass.

It stands in the sky and is taller than any monster under Zheng Zhuo's command.Even when sunlight penetrates its body, it is slightly refracted.

Zheng Zhuo took Lanlong away.He took it, and all the remaining monsters, through the dark hole.

They entered the next world.

【Ocean World】.

……

Salty sea water, dark environment without light.

This time, Zheng Zhuo stepped through the hole and entered the bottom of the sea where he couldn't see his fingers.

Before I even opened my eyes, I felt that I had arrived through the skin one step ahead.

Fear, despair, smallness and helplessness.

Countless emotions seemed to squeeze into his body, overwhelming him.

And these emotions obviously don't just appear because of the empty environment, the extreme pressure and the ubiquitous sea water.

There's a lot of chaotic emotions here.

Zheng Zhuo slowly opened his eyes.

He saw buildings with ominous green lights shining in the distance, and their distorted shapes——

But this time.

Even those complexes are no longer the point.

He has crossed countless worlds and acquired countless [abilities].

Zheng Zhuo saw something he hadn't been able to see before.

are people.

A transparent, human-shaped mass, emitting a shimmer, floats in this eerie deep sea.

People, people, people.

People are everywhere.

The sea is filled with people.From top to bottom, from far to near.These human-shaped clumps formed a suffocating wall. They squeezed, overlapped, and collided with each other, filling the sea water, floating, and silently staring at Zheng Zhuo.

Did I squeeze through them before?

Having experienced so many subconscious worlds, Zheng Zhuo has already seen a lot.But he was still shocked by the sight in front of him.

But he wasn't crazy, nor was he ruled by fear.

[Spiritual Resistance: Crazy Ineffective], excessive sedatives, and those exercises and medicines that provide sedative effects played a role in the depths of his mind.

Huge, transparent dragons swam out from behind him, pushing away the clump of men.

The transparent monster floated quietly beside him.

These also allowed him to regain his composure faster.

"(It's people covered by the sea of ​​subconscious mind.)"

Zheng Zhuo slowly approached them.

When Zheng Zhuo passed by, some of the clumps started to move.

They make sounds.

"...ah... hiss..."

"……why……"

"……help me……"

"God...God is watching..."

"Ha ha ha ha……!"

Crazy ravings and broken words.

Everyone is in a difficult state of communication.

They are also affected by the opened world.

and also……

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

"……take care of……"

"……Explorer……"

Some clumps, like the blue dragons of the past, spoke the name of the profession.

Zheng Zhuo realized that there were former participants among them.

Those who are used by the professor, experimented with, repeatedly entered and exited [the subconscious world], and finally lost themselves.

Those who, after being lost, were taken out repeatedly, into bodies that did not belong to them, and finally abandoned after being drained of value.

Pain, despair, anger, hatred.

This is where their condensed emotions materialized and were born.

Underwater Temple.

Zheng Zhuo swam towards the twisted hall that gave off an unpleasant feeling of nausea.

Near here, he saw some clumps following him.

They are more purposeful.At the same time, spoken words become more fluent.

"...stop him..."

They surround Zheng Zhuo, said.

"...block 'Professor'..."

The humanoid clumps squeezed into the gap between the monsters and stretched out their hands.

"...he's lost..."

Spirits float by and away.

"...We are the first to follow him to conduct experiments..."

"... He was not like this before... His mind is also being influenced by the [subconscious mind]..."

"No one can resist this influence... After a long time of contact, you will sink and go crazy..."

"……we are the same……"

"Here...for humans...it's still...too bad..."

"Only he refuses to leave...here is his sustenance...and then..."

"became……"

"disaster……"

The clumps surrounded Zheng Zhuo and entered the magnificent hall.There, all kinds of decorations with bizarre beauty are piled up like garbage in places that humans can think of and can't think of.

"Don't come again... summon... don't come again..."

"Let us attain peace...eternal..."

"……Pursue……"

"...Praise be to God..."

Their minds are also corrupted.

However, you can still express your wishes.

"I promise you."

Zheng Zhuo said.

He swam in the dark passage, putting his hand on the twisted handle.

"I'm going to close this place."

He pushed open the door.

behind the door.

Countless light spots protrude like eyes.

They turned while opening the door, staring at Zheng Zhuo's direction.

Zheng Zhuo put his hand between them.

The spots of light writhed and screamed out of the way.

A dark, pitch-black passage.

The door leading to the end opened.

Zheng Zhuo is ready to move forward...

However, he suddenly felt something.

He looked the way he had come.

There, countless transparent clumps quietly reached out to him.

What a terrifying scene.

but……

Among them, Zheng Zhuo saw some treasures.

Some treasures that he had seen but never took.

……

Zheng Zhuo entered the hole.The sea water was like a sticky thread, sticking to his body, leaving long traces.

He fell forward, snapped them, and...

His feet landed on the dry ground of the town.

He returned to 【Small Town World】.

the original place.where he started.

But it was no longer what he remembered.

The town is peeling.There is sea water everywhere.The house is falling apart.

Only Zheng Zhuo's foothold is dry.Half of the town was submerged by the ocean and inserted obliquely into the sea.

The sky shattered, revealing the pure blue sky outside.Zheng Zhuo raised his head and saw countless [subconscious worlds] floating in the air above.

And on top of the collapsed house...

Zheng Zhuo saw the hole.

Numerous holes are connected together to form the largest hole.

"This is the end."

Zheng Zhuo said to himself.

He looked at his hands.
