……

【Option [-]】

【clown】

……

Zheng Zhuo repeatedly checked the [Subconscious World] page and the [Subconscious Voting] page alternately.The largest number of votes gathered in the fifth world: the world where the clown lives.

"It's dangerous at first glance..."

If Zheng Zhuo remembers correctly, the first few times he saw [Joker] was just trying to summon it.This time, it directly showed a disaster-like scene.

He narrowed his eyes and carefully checked the content displayed on the phone.In the eternally dark sky, there were thunder and lightning, and on the ground, strange-shaped monsters staggered and looked around blankly.

"hiss."

He didn't even see the culprit of all this again.The screen displayed on the phone moved, and he could only see the tall tower towering into the clouds in the distance.

"... Should this be called rescue..."

Rather than saying "rescue", it is more appropriate to say "stop".No matter how you look at it, the next thing you're dealing with is a lousy guy.

However, what he can be sure of is that if this continues, it will definitely get worse.

Besides, she is not the only one in the subconscious world.For example, in [Ocean World], he brought out many more.After that, judging by the number of [egg cases], the young women also gradually brought out salvable personalities from the world he cleared.

Just for these people, there is also the value of sneaking in.

"...I believe that the personality can be recovered when returning from the [subconscious world]. At worst, lock her in the [egg case] of the young woman."

Zheng Zhuo nodded, making up his mind.

at this time.

"Jingle jingle jingle jingle—"

Zheng Zhuo's cell phone rang.

"Who?"

He looked at the phone, it was an overseas number.

Could it be Chu Huairen?He picked it up.

"Hello?"

"..."

There was no sound on the other side.

"Hey?"

"..."

Still silent.

mischief?Zheng Zhuo hung up the phone, looked at the world on the phone for a while, and then went to get some noodles to eat.

While cooking noodles, he received that weird call again.Same old thing: no sound.

"What a weird prank lately."

As Zheng Zhuo said, he blocked that number.

……

Later that afternoon, Zheng Zhuo took a shower.He came out of the bathroom wiping his hair, and heard a "ding dong" from his mobile phone.

He walked to the desk, opened the [Collective Subconscious] software again, and found that the words "debugging" had disappeared.

The interface emits a warm yellow light.

"You can enter now."

Zheng Zhuo touched his chin and called Chu Huairen.

The phone rang a few times, and it was connected.A very unhappy voice came from the opposite side.

"Do you know it's four o'clock in the morning where I am?" Chu Huairen complained, "...Forget it, the notification is here?"

"Yes."

No way, most of the time maintenance ends in the early hours of the morning.It's not your morning, it's someone else's morning.

"Start now?"

"OK."

"three two……"

"one."

Zheng Zhuo clicked on the golden screen.The screen looks bigger and bigger.His consciousness was pulled away and he entered the golden light.

Zheng Zhuo fell from the high sky - he found that he had gradually gotten used to this feeling.He passed through [pure white space], and the young woman waved to him.

He judged this to mean nothing serious.

"Okay. Enter in one breath."

Therefore, he did not stay in [pure white space].He passed there and continued to fall.The sky was getting farther and farther away from him, while the ground was pitch black, and the barren, barren land was getting closer.

The golden light around me grows stronger.Zheng Zhuo turned his head and saw a golden card chasing him.

On the card, a clown steps on a large ball and tosses six bottles in his hands, performing in the spotlight of the circus.

Cards fly forward.The golden light is getting more and more prosperous.Zheng Zhuo once again saw the scene he had seen before: on a night of lightning and thunder, a red-haired woman with the personality of [Joker] climbed a rope to the tower.She was drenched all over, but she didn't care too much, as soon as she fell into the tower, she rushed towards the books on the wall.

She kept looking, kept trying.With the candle behind her, Zheng Zhuo couldn't see her expression clearly. He only knew that she checked from night to day, and finally, she took out an ominous book emitting a dark light.

[Joker] read this book.Reading from day to night, and from night to day, clouds gather in the sky.

Finally, with a thunderclap, lightning split the earth.Black slime spilled from the ground.The vegetation is dry, the water source is dry, the earth is cracked, and everything is stained with lifeless gray and black.The sky is no longer clear, no matter morning or evening, it is always cloudy, just like before the rainstorm.The beasts howled and went mad, their bodies swelled, and all kinds of abnormal organs grew out.

Panicked people ran out of the shining and beautiful city in panic, but within a few steps they began to howl in pain.They scratch their necks and their faces start to melt.Gradually, their backs became bent, their mouths protruded with fangs, and their arms grew thorns and armor.They can no longer speak systematic language, and only indescribable single-byte words are repeated in their throats.They went from the city to the wilderness, howling all day long, wandering on the land.

It's simply hell on earth.Zheng Zhuo came to a harsh world again after experiencing the gentle environment of [Magic Academy World].His back shudders, but he convinces himself to be calm.

"Think of it as an expanded version of [Ocean World]."

He tried to convince himself.

The [Joker] card emitting golden light slowly flew away from him.It flew towards the tower, and merged into the ominous book emitting a dark light.Now, it is placed on the table by a red-haired woman.

This is the card that Zheng Zhuo has seen closest to the owner.When the cards flew into the book, Zheng Zhuo even saw the red-haired woman seemed to have a sense of it, and took a look at the book.

But she didn't pick up the book.She jumped onto the window lattice, admiring everything in the distance.

And Zheng Zhuo's perspective also slid over the monsters transformed from people under his feet.He kept flying far away, over mountains, over villages, and then slowly approached a barren plain.

On the plain, there is nothing.

"Start here?" He was a little puzzled.

……

[Confirm the participant: [Explorer].Fixed Abilities: Identification, Fast Casting, Transformation. 】

……

After falling to the ground, a green box popped up in front of Zheng Zhuo's eyes.

……

[Please choose whether to replace your fixed ability...]

【...Confirm the world adjustments, [Quick Cast] and [Transformation] will not be available.It can be integrated and replaced with the ability [Evolution]. 】

[Please confirm whether it is replaced in this world. 】

……

"what?"

It was the first time Zheng Zhuo saw the reminder to replace fixed abilities.

"So, it is true that every time you enter the world, you will be asked if you want to replace it."

Because there was no such reminder in the previous few worlds, he almost forgot about it.

"Since they are all unusable, of course they must be replaced."

Something is better than nothing.He clicked [Yes].The column of his fixed ability soon became: [Fixed Ability: Appraisal, Evolution]

"[Evolution]... I don't know what kind of ability it is."

Zheng Zhuo began to develop some interest in this terrifying world.

At this moment, another big box popped up in front of him.

……

[Please select your origin. 】

……

This was the first time he saw an option that was not text but pictures.

There are four pictures in total.

The first picture is a sticky, gelatinous mass of creatures.Zheng Zhuo has seen it in some games: in those games, their name is slime.

The second picture is an arthropod.It looks like a spider on earth.

The third picture is a skeleton.At least, it's a human skeleton.

The fourth picture is a cloud of elemental energy.To say it is elemental energy is a bit too exaggerated - it is like a swaying wisp of will-o'-the-wisp.

"Eh."

Zheng Zhuo was stunned.

It turns out that [evolution] means this.Evolve from a base species.

...to speak.

"Can't I be human!?"

Zheng Zhuo's cry echoed in the golden space.
