I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 1048: Going straight to the top
"it's here?"

Mo Ling followed the little black dog, passed through the hazy light and shadows, and came to a somewhat strange place.

A square hole appeared right in front of him, just as the waiters before had said, it looked like an "elevator entrance".

But the inside of the elevator was completely empty and pitch black, which formed a sharp contrast with the lights in the surrounding cinema that were still on.

Looking at the dark cave entrance, Mo Ling's heart skipped a beat.

"Did they really get in here?"

Mo Ling looked at the little black dog, which was already barking and circling around the "elevator entrance", as if eager for Mo Ling to go in with it.

"It seems that there was a similar passage from the banquet hall to the screening room before, but the hole was on the ground, so it should be fine..."

Mo Ling thought for a while and decided to go in and take a look.

After passing through the "elevator entrance", the surroundings seemed to change again. The original black suddenly became bright, and the originally bright place behind him suddenly turned dark again, as if black and white were reversed. Mo Ling came to a white space. When he saw clearly, he realized that he had come to a white "box".

Mo Ling was stunned: "Is it really an elevator?"

It’s just that the shape of this elevator is a bit strange. It has no real mechanical structure. Instead, it uses the color difference of "black and white" to indicate the division of space. It is very simple and weird.

Just as Mo Ling was marveling at the magic of the space here, the "door" of the black and white elevator suddenly "closed", and two white lights approached the middle from both sides of the elevator entrance, completely trapping Mo Ling in this small box.

Then, the elevator suddenly "moved".

Mo Ling felt the excessive weight caused by the acceleration of the elevator, and his body shook a little, as if the elevator was really going up.

The speed gradually increased, then slowly slowed down. Mo Ling could feel himself moving "upwards", but everything around him was white, with no reference points, making him a little dizzy.

Only the little black dog was still circling around Mo Ling's feet, looking very excited.

The elevator was still running. Mo Ling suddenly had an idea and asked the puppy at his feet: "Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Seeing that Mo Ling was talking to it, the puppy stopped spinning around, stopped, and looked at Mo Ling with its dull eyes.

"Wang Wang!"

After barking twice, the puppy stuck out its tongue. The tender pink tongue hanging on the black ball of fur was extremely conspicuous, making Mo Ling want to reach out and pinch it.

Mo Ling suppressed the impulse in his heart and started talking to the puppy again.

"If you understand, call once. If you don't understand, call three times. Do you understand?"

After saying this, he waited expectantly for the puppy's response.

The puppy looked at him and started barking again.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

"One, two, three, three sounds. Oh, you really don't understand... I told you, I was overthinking..."

Mo Ling counted the puppy's barking, muttered a few words to himself, then raised his head and stopped talking to the puppy.

……

After a while, he realized something and lowered his head again.

"No, you understand!"

He looked at the puppy in surprise. The puppy still had that silly look on its face, sticking out its tongue and looking at him.

At this moment, Mo Ling felt that it was not the dog that was stupid, but himself.

"Why are you playing tricks on me? You clearly understood, so why did you yell three times?"

The puppy didn't respond and continued to stare at him blankly.

Just like that, the man and the dog stared at each other for a long time.

Until Mo Ling took out a sausage from the cube, tore it open, and handed it to the puppy.

"This is my treasured possession. I don't have many left. After you eat it, you must answer my questions carefully. Do you understand? If you understand, shout once. If you don't understand, shout three times."

As he spoke, Mo Ling moved the sausage away again.

Seeing that the sausage in its mouth was about to fly away, the puppy hurriedly barked again, and Mo Ling returned the sausage. "Looking at you stupidly, I thought you were a good dog, but I didn't expect you to have such a bad heart and learn to lie."

Facing Mo Ling's complaints, the puppy said nothing and just concentrated on chewing its intestines.

"Are you familiar with this place?" Mo Ling asked while feeding the puppy. "If you are, bark once. If you are not, bark three times."

"Wang!"

The puppy still has his credibility and did not ignore Mo Ling just for the sake of eating.

After getting the response, Mo Ling was a little surprised. He just tried to ask, but he didn't expect that the puppy was really familiar with this place.

Wasn't it locked in the room before? How come it is so familiar with the hotel?
Is it...

"You were locked in the room later, weren't you?"

"Wang!"

The puppy barked again briefly and continued to chew on the sausage.

After hearing this reply, Mo Ling had a guess in his mind. The puppy was probably running around in the hotel before, and something must have happened, so it was locked in the room.

"Could it be that it was previously raised by humans? Before humans disappeared, they locked it in a room for protection?"

This is indeed possible, because this puppy is very friendly. After seeing Li Luo, it was extremely excited and very familiar, obviously looking like it "knows humans". Not only that, it should be the kind of dog that can get close to anyone. Maybe before the humans disappeared, it was running around in the hotel and eating at other people's houses.

If it had never seen a human before, it would definitely be on guard against Li Luo. And now, when it saw the sausage, it ate it without hesitation. It must have seen similar food before and had experience with it.

If this is true, then the puppy must have been in the hotel for a long time. Wouldn't it be old?

After struggling with this problem for a while, Mo Ling wanted to slap himself again.

"What am I thinking? How can I get old if I'm digitized?"

Looking at the puppy drooling from chewing on the intestines, Mo Ling decided to ask some other questions.

"Have you ever been to the top floor? That's the very top."

"Wang!"

"Is it dangerous there?"

"Wang Wang Wang!"

There were three sounds? For the puppy, that place was not dangerous?

Didn't the waiter say that it was a maze? Not only would you get hurt, but you would also lose your memory. Shouldn't that be dangerous?

Mo Ling felt that there was something wrong with the way he asked the question, so he asked it again.

"Is the maze the waiters mentioned dangerous?"

"Wang Wang Wang!"

The puppy drooled as he quickly answered Mo Ling's questions, then continued to chew on the intestines.

Not dangerous? Those waiters are deceiving Li Luo?

But it doesn't look like cheating...

Mo Ling was a little confused, not knowing whether he should believe a dog's words.

He thought about it and was about to continue asking, but he found that the sausage in his hand had been eaten up, and even the last bit had been licked away by the puppy.

At this time, the puppy was looking at him with watery eyes, full of expectation.

This made Mo Ling feel a little distressed. He was about to take another sausage from the cube, but at this moment, the elevator suddenly stopped. After a shake, the white elevator door slowly opened...

Outside the door, it was pitch black, just like when entering the elevator. The strange spatial structure completely isolated each area, but they were connected to each other in some way. Mo Ling looked at the elevator entrance and decided to go out first.

After patting the puppy's head, he stood up and walked into the darkness...
