……

【Option [-]】

【Drag these lights to chase Chu Huairen】

……

Zheng Zhuo inserted his fingers deeply into the sand, and he grasped desperately, moving forward little by little.

Some human-shaped lights fell from him.However, more human-shaped light recaptured his feet and legs.

He dragged all the light to straighten his waist, and stepped on the sand again.

"... Karma... ah..."

He walked forward step by step.

Chu Huairen's figure was also crumbling.However, he still walked much faster than Zheng Zhuo.

Zheng Zhuo saw Chu Huairen walking slowly towards the center of the ring-shaped island stepping on the fine sand.His feet changed from soft sand to harder gravel to hard rock.

Chu Huairen was climbing the raised ridge of the island.The glass-like pottery in his hand shone with crystal light under the light.

light.

Zheng Zhuo raised his head.There are no rough seas, no howling winds, no heavy rain, no thunderstorms.

But there are no clear skies either.

Above the island, where the sky should have been, cast pure, golden light.

Zheng Zhuo stared at those lights.It was a beautiful sight, yet his first reaction was discomfort, nausea and nausea.

But then, those uncomfortable feelings were washed away by a faint wave of frenzy.

"Ah...ah..."

Zheng Zhuo made a strange tone and walked straight forward.He dragged a long, wet track along the sand, and in that track, there were scattered clusters of humanity falling from him.

The balls of light opened their mouths wide and stretched out their hands.Zheng Zhuo didn't look back.

Keep going forward.He felt like he was walking, crawling, floating, and flying.

Chu Huairen climbed to the top of the ring island before him.

After that, he stood there for a long time.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zheng Zhuo approached Chu Huairen step by step.It's almost time to catch him—

at this time.

Chu Huairen suddenly jumped towards the center of the circular island.

"—Chu—"

Zheng Zhuo arrived one step too late!He reached forward to grab it, but he missed it!
Zheng Zhuo, who caught an empty space, crossed the highest point of the circular island at this time, and he saw the center of the circular island - the crater.

Inside the crater is an ocean deeper than the sea.

Chu Huairen fell into the center of the ring island.He caused a slight splash and disappeared into a deep blue.

And here it is at the end.

Zheng Zhuo also jumped forward.Dragging the dense and sticky human-shaped light spots behind him, he followed Chu Huairen and jumped into the bottomless water.

……

The water completely submerged Zheng Zhuo.He was falling, falling.

This is not a crater, here...

very deep.

He thought in a haze.

As Zheng Zhuo sank into the darker and deeper seabed, a strange joy began to echo in Zheng Zhuo's heart.Even the darkness no longer frightened him, but instead brought him the warmth of returning to his hometown.

When he got here, there were only sporadic human-shaped light spots around him.In this way, he did not know how long he sank in the sea with them.

Finally, he saw light other than himself.

……

A very, very large city, gradually revealing its outline in the deep sea.It is difficult for human words to describe how complicated and gorgeous it is, and how exquisite and meticulous it is.It was like a crystal palace under the sea.All kinds of agates, rubies, emeralds and sapphires the size of hills are decorated on the transparent and bright walls made of diamonds and crystals, and countless warm orange lights illuminate every house in the palace. Be brightly lit.

Zheng Zhuo was completely taken away by that beautiful city.He swam towards the city.He saw rows of streets, and every house was so delicate and moving.Swimming the streets, he saw a silvery shrine at the end of the city.

That temple is dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of times larger than any other temple on Earth he knows.And in front of the spacious turquoise gate of the temple, stands a statue of a goddess several kilometers high.

That is also the most beautiful statue Zheng Zhuo has ever seen.It is impossible for any kind of artwork in the world to reach one thousandth of her beauty.

Zheng Zhuo saw Chu Huairen.He was right in front of him, and he also swam towards the statue of the goddess.

He must also be impressed by this beauty...

Zheng Zhuo had this idea floating in his heart.

but.

The thought wavered a bit.

"(When I first entered this world, it seemed that what I saw was not like this.)"

Is... what kind of... coming?

Thoughts flickered and quickly drifted away.

Zheng Zhuo descended a little more, and he began to approach the streets of the city.He saw that the streets were lined with hills of all kinds of precious stones, pearls, corals, silks and ornaments.

"Take it away!"

He heard those human-shaped lights whispering in his ear.

"Take it away! Take it back from here! These are priceless treasures!"

"They are not ordinary treasures—they can improve your physical ability, enhance your wisdom, give you knowledge beyond ordinary people, and give you magical abilities as if inspired by God..."

"It's not like [abilities], they will disappear when you leave a certain [subconscious world]! Don't you think they are petty? This is real...really, the real thing, these can really be taken out and belong to you forever ..."

"Everything that sent you in was too stingy...and here...the subconscious mind...gives its full selflessness to each individual equally..."

sound……

...seems to be good.

Zheng Zhuo's consciousness began to trance.He held out his hand blankly.

"Take this! This will keep your skills forever... don't you want it?"

"No! Take this, this will give you endless... endless talents and inspiration!"

"It's better to be this one! In reality...to recruit subconscious items..."

Zheng Zhuo stretched out his hand.

at this time.

A green box popped up.

It flickers.

[identification].

……

Did your subconscious call it out?Or, is it someone else's subconscious?or……

In short, Zheng Zhuo nodded subconsciously.

next second.

The scene in front of him shook like an illusion reflected on the foam.

With the sound of salad, salad, everything around is peeling off like old wallpaper...

Before everything was presented, the [Subconscious World] software box lit up first.On it, the words and patterns of [Ocean World] began to flicker.

Identifications started popping up randomly.All content has become ■■■■■■.

Then, the [Subconscious World] page automatically jumped to the [Subconscious Voting] page.

In the underwater city where everything started to peel off, [Subconscious Voting] began to display text line by line.
