I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 1040 Video Screening
"Wang!"

"Wang Wang!"

"Wang Wang Wang!"

A few crisp dog barks woke Mo Ling from his trance.

The beams of light were so dazzling that he felt dizzy for a moment and his consciousness became confused. It was as if countless lights and shadows flashed before his eyes, becoming vivid, real and fake. Sometimes they turned into strange human figures, and sometimes they turned into countless robots...

It seemed as if the information in those light beams was being poured into his brain through his field of vision and was replayed continuously. Mo Ling was also immersed in the illusory light and shadow and gave up thinking.

Now, hearing the familiar barking of a dog, he suddenly came back to his senses.

"What just happened?"

Mo Ling was stunned for a moment, looked around and found that the light beams had disappeared. He was standing in front of a big door. There was a black dog barking constantly at his feet. It was the "evil dog" that had been following Li Luo.

He touched his head, and sure enough, he turned into a cube man again.

"What's going on? Has the show started already?"

As he was wondering, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the side.

Mo Ling looked over quickly and found that it was a group of researchers in white coats who were walking hurriedly towards the gate.

These researchers rushed straight towards Mo Ling as if they didn't see him. He was about to dodge, but found that they passed through his body and opened the door on the side.

"Are these all virtual images?"

Mo Ling breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the film was already being screened. He was worried about having a conflict with these researchers in white coats, but now it seemed that his worry was unnecessary.

"How could there be a conflict with the characters in the video? What am I thinking about…"

It was no wonder that Mo Ling had such an illusion. After all, these characters and scenes were too real. The light shone on the three-dimensional screen, and countless shadows overlapped each other. Even the pores on the people's bodies were clearly depicted.

"Wang Wang!"

Mo Ling was still in a daze when the little black dog beside him barked a few times, as if wanting Mo Ling to follow the researchers in.

"What's inside?"

Mo Ling looked inside and found that it was actually a place similar to a conference room.

And there was already someone sitting at the head seat at the long conference table.

What surprised Mo Ling was that the man's figure was blurry, and the light and shadow on his body kept shaking, as if his appearance could not be fully revealed.

However, one could still vaguely see that he was a researcher in a white coat and a pair of glasses. He was currently focusing his hands on the information on the table, looking at it carefully. Even when a group of people rushed in from outside the door, he did not even glance at them. He just sat there quietly and continued to read the information.

Seeing that man so serious, the other researchers quickly slowed down their pace, carefully pulled out the chairs beside the conference table, and sat down quietly.

It seemed that these people were very worried about disturbing the person in the main seat.

"His status is quite high..." Mo Ling also made a judgment in his mind. The person whose face could not be seen clearly in the main seat should be the protagonist of the meeting.

After everyone was seated, the man at the main seat began to speak slowly. His voice seemed to be incomplete and a little distorted, but it was still clear if you listened carefully.

"Have you decided?"

He threw an ordinary sentence to everyone, but such an ordinary sentence transmitted an invisible pressure to everyone.

The expressions of the researchers in those seats suddenly became solemn, and some of them even began to feel uneasy. Not long after they sat down, they began to move their bodies, looking unconscious.

"Why did it take you so long to decide?"

The person in the main seat didn't care about other people's feelings at all and continued to put pressure on them.

Finally, a researcher with some gray hair on his temples responded:
"The higher-ups still don't believe you. The plan has been hindered by many parties. The government, the public, social organizations, etc. have all raised many concerns and made various demands, hoping that the plan can be more perfect. They are not opposed, but from their own perspective, they hope to wait for a while until the plan is more appropriate before pushing it forward."

"I'm not asking them, I'm asking you, have you made up your mind?" the person in the main seat asked in a deep voice.

The conference room fell silent again.

"The decision to execute the plan is in your hands. You also know the urgency of the situation. Sometimes, you can't be so hesitant when making a decision... The group will affect the judgment of the individual. Public opinion sometimes does not represent correctness. No matter what kind of organization it is, it will be interfered with by interests and constrained by various relationships. Only individuals can make strong judgments. You have such power, so you must think about all mankind, instead of being swayed by the so-called public opinion."

The person in the main seat did not continue to put pressure on them. He slowed down his voice and began to reason with everyone:
"When one monk makes a decision, he only needs to follow his own heart. When there are two monks, they need to discuss. When there are three monks, they start to hold meetings and argue endlessly for their own interests. They can never find a suitable balance."

"But there is no absolute balance in the universe. After discussing for so long, we are still not as decisive as a monk."

"The pursuit of a so-called perfect plan, wanting to satisfy the interests of everyone, ultimately results in the plan being unable to be executed, all energy is wasted in internal friction and intrigue, and the most appropriate time for execution is missed..."

"All of us here are smart monks. You all understand the principles I'm talking about. If you continue to dwell on it, you will only miss the opportunity."

"So, I just want your decision."

After saying this, he began to look at everyone again.

Some of the researchers didn't even dare to look him in the eye and turned their gaze away as if avoiding him.

"But this decision concerns the survival of the entire human race."

It was that gray-haired researcher again.

"Every decision you make is related to the survival of mankind. Your hesitation is also related to the survival of mankind. Your retreat is also related to the survival of mankind. Your cowardice is also related to the survival of mankind!"

The person sitting in the main seat slapped the table and spoke angrily.

"I have fought for you to gain power, I have drawn up a plan for you, and I have also brought you the technology. Everything is ready. Now you just need to decide whether to carry it out. Are you still hesitating?"

"After conducting so many experiments and consuming so much manpower and material resources, you are now weighing the fate of mankind? What were you doing before?"

"I tell you, the abyss won't wait for you to discuss. Once it pounces on us, all humans will be unable to escape. If you hesitate any longer, you will discuss the fate of humanity in the belly of the abyss!"
