I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 1047 Breakthrough

"No, there is no information like what you said..."

The waiter in the screening room spoke slowly, breaking the silence.

"Humans boarded the ship normally and lived their lives day after day. Then one day, all humans were replaced by abyssal creatures. Humans completely disappeared. All the videos in the screening room were broken and could only record short periods of time. I played the videos so many times and I remember every one of them... The change happened suddenly."

"No signs, no clues?" Li Luo asked in disbelief.

"No, at least not in the theater."

"What about other places? The hotel is so big, with so many areas, and there are no clues at all?"

After hearing what Li Luo said, the waiter in the screening room sighed deeply: "You have to know that most areas of the hotel are entertainment venues. Every day, all traces of the past are cleaned up. Every day, everything is brand new, so it is difficult to leave any traces. There are very few places like the screening room that can retain information about the past, and the recorded information is also very fragmentary. If there really were any clues, we wouldn't be confused until now..."

These waiters have been in the hotel for such a long time, from the enthusiasm when they just awakened to the current slackness. It must be after repeated failures that their expectations have been completely worn out.

Since they said there were no clues, it meant they had searched many times.

"We searched the entire hotel thoroughly, but we only know that the human beings disappeared. Apart from that, we don't know anything else..."

"Have you searched everything..." After listening to the waiters' words, Li Luo didn't know what to do.

Just when the situation was about to reach a stalemate, a voice suddenly emerged:
"We haven't searched all of them yet. There are still places in this hotel that we haven't visited yet."

"Where?" Li Luo immediately asked back after hearing this.

"There is a place that none of us can enter. It's on the top floor of the hotel," the waiter continued.

But after he finished speaking, none of the other waiters responded, and the atmosphere became a little depressing.

"What's wrong?" Li Luo noticed something was wrong and asked curiously.

"It's a bit dangerous there," the waiter replied.

"Danger? What kind of danger? Any troublesome tenants?"

"No, if it was a tenant, it wouldn't be so troublesome, we could handle it, but that place, how should I put it... It's a bit weird, once you enter, you will be completely lost, and then as you walk, you will return to the entrance and lose all your memories of being inside. Some of our companions came out with wounds all over their bodies, and their bodies were almost destroyed."

"Is there such a place?" Li Luo was a little surprised.

"We called it a maze, but we didn't try it again because we were worried about problems. It was the only place we didn't search thoroughly." The waiter went on to say, "If you want to find clues, there might be one there..."

But his words aroused opposition from other waiters.

"Why tell her this... We just found her, are you going to let her go to the maze? Don't you know how dangerous it is there? We won't die in the hotel, but she is different. What if she gets hurt?"

"No, we can't let her go there. We finally got a real human being. If something unexpected happens, won't we have to keep waiting? How long will we have to wait?"

The waiters now completely treated Li Luo as a treasure and were reluctant to let Li Luo put himself in danger.

Even Omega Zero advised Li Luo not to take risks.

"It may be a simple dangerous area. There are no clues there. We can't find them anywhere else. There is a high possibility that there are no clues there either. Maybe the abyss has swallowed up all the information and we can't find them in the hotel at all."

Facing the waiters' dissuasion, Li Luo only replied with one sentence:

"How do I get to that place?"

……

Li Luo was very clear about the current situation. She was trapped in this hotel just like these waiters. No matter what the "truth" was or what happened here, it was not important to her. The most important thing was how she could leave here.

The hotel is actually a data grid created by some technology. If she wants to leave the hotel, she must first find a passage to leave the data grid and return to reality, instead of wandering around in these fictional data spaces.

Or find a way to go to another world without leaving the data grid. "Or find a passage to the next level of the abyss in this world..."

No matter what the specific method is, she can't stay where she is any longer. She has to try her best to understand this place and then find a way to move forward.

The "maze" these waiters mentioned is the only place in the hotel that has not been fully explored, and it may also be a possible way out.

So, Li Luo had to go and see it no matter what.

She was also intrigued by the "loss of memory" described by the waiter.

What exactly is that place? Why did the waiter lose his memory? Is he trying to hide something?

If there is nothing "shameful", there will be no need to go to the trouble of erasing the memory.

"There must be something fishy going on there. I have to go check it out."

The waiters didn't say much about Li Luo's decision.

"I'll take you to the elevator and go directly to the top floor." A waiter said to Li Luo.

"There's an elevator here?" Li Luo was a little surprised.

"Of course, this is a hotel."

"Where is the elevator?"

"This way."

"..."

The sound began to fade away and finally disappeared in the light and shadow.

……

"Why are you walking so fast?" Mo Ling was stunned for a moment, and chased in the direction of the voice, but he didn't see Li Luo's shadow or the waiters at all.

"Won't you wait for me?"

Mo Ling suddenly realized that the blurry light and shadows in the screening room might have obscured Li Luo's vision, and she might not have noticed that the cube was no longer behind her.

"We have to catch up quickly."

But Mo Ling didn't know where Li Luo and the waiters had gone.

Just when he was confused, the little black dog under his feet started barking again. After circling around Mo Ling's feet for a few times, it suddenly ran in one direction.

Looking at the little black dog's behavior, Mo Ling was stunned.

"Why do we need it to lead the way again..."

This little dog that has been following her from downstairs until now has become Mo Ling's savior and has played a role at every critical juncture.

"When we were downstairs, it seemed to lead Li Luo in the same way. Is it because its nose is too sensitive? Why do I feel like... it seems to be very familiar with the hotel?"

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Mo Ling feels that this little black dog is even more familiar with the hotel than the waiters.

He looked at the puppy carefully. It was pitch black and looked like a dirty ball of fur. With its silly look, it looked like an ordinary dog.

"Am I overthinking..."
