I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 1158: Strange "Acquaintance"

"What is he doing?"

Mo Ling was outside the huge crystal, watching the router moving back and forth, then lying down and groping on the ground, not knowing what it was doing.

In order to get the router's attention, Mo Ling knocked hard on the surface of the crystal, but this transparent crystal seemed to absorb all vibrations. Mo Ling's hands became numb from knocking, and no sound came out.

Just as Mo Ling was about to find some tools to continue hammering, the tentacles slowly reached out and stopped him.

"What's wrong? Can't I knock?" Mo Ling asked puzzledly.

The tentacles shook, and then, under Mo Ling's shocked gaze, they swung fiercely towards the surface of the crystal. The waving of the tentacles directly created a hole in the water flow, and the huge waving force caused small whirlpools to appear around it.

However, when the tentacles hit the surface of the crystal, there was still no sound. Under such a powerful force, the surface of the crystal remained intact without any trace.

Mo Ling now understood that these crystals were absolutely impossible for him to break. Even the tentacles couldn't do anything to them, let alone him...

"What should we do? He's still in there. Is there no way to rescue him?" Mo Ling looked at the route inside the crystal and became more and more worried.

Something seems to be wrong with the router.

"What is he looking for?"

"Is there anything on the ground?"

Mo Ling's vision slowly fell from Lu Luqi to the ground. He was stunned for a moment and finally understood what Lu Luqi was doing.

"There are words on the ground? Is he reading them?"

In Mo Ling's vision, the ground was covered with dense words, which made him dizzy. Just as he wanted to see clearly what the words said, the tentacles wrapped around him again.

"what happened?"

The tentacles seemed to be in a hurry. They wrapped around him and lifted him up, then threw him to the side and fell into a colorful bubble membrane. Before Mo Ling could react to what was happening, he came out from the other side of the bubble membrane.

"Where does this send me?"

Mo Ling quickly looked around.

He seemed to have come to another sea area. It was still very dark here, and there were the same crystals all around, but there was actually a figure standing on the crystals.

The head of the figure turned out to be a kimchi jar. Tentacles kept emerging from the jar and rolled away the kimchi in the jar.

"Pickles? Jars?"

Mo Ling was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that the strange man in front of him was related to the tentacles.

"Did you bring me here to see him?"

After hesitating for a while, Mo Ling walked forward and came to the front of the jar man.

"you……"

He was about to ask the other party when he suddenly pointed to the ground.

Mo Ling looked down under his feet in confusion and found that there was also a transparent crystal under his feet, which was very similar to the one just now.

"Wait... why is Routerqi in there?"

As his vision deepened, Mo Ling discovered that in the crystal, Rouqi was lying on the ground, groping, and constantly touching the tiny words with his hands...

"Haven't I already been to some other place? Why is Router still down there? This one is Router now, so who was the Router just now?"

"Are these crystals really like televisions, with different crystals able to see the same image?"

Just as Mo Ling was thinking about the principles of these crystals, the strange man in front of him suddenly stretched out his hand and placed it on Mo Ling's cheek.

This offensive action instantly alerted Mo Ling. He was so scared that he immediately stepped back and almost fell on the crystal. Before he could stand still, he heard the weirdo opposite him mutter in a low voice: "So you look like this..."

"What do you mean by looking like this? I've always looked like this..."

"You didn't look like this when I met you." The weirdo said softly.

The other party's words made Mo Ling even more confused...

"Have we met?"

"I've seen it."

"When have you seen me?"

"Anyway, it's not now. It could be in the past or in the future. Maybe you have forgotten it, or maybe you haven't experienced it yet." The other party looked at Mo Ling and gave a strange answer.

Then the weirdo extended his hand: "This doesn't prevent us from getting to know each other again. My name is Martin."

"Martin?" Mo Ling looked at him doubtfully for a few seconds, then slowly extended his hand and shook it carefully: "My name is Mo Ling."

After putting his hand down, Mo Ling looked at the other person carefully with his eyes and found another strange thing: this weirdo who called himself "Martin" actually had only a thin "shell" on his body, and the inside of his body was hollow, as if the model only had the surface layer built, which was very strange.

"Are you human?" Mo Ling couldn't help but ask.

"Yes." The other party nodded naturally, and it didn't seem like he was lying.

But Mo Ling still had some doubts, so he continued to ask: "Why are you here?"

“I’m looking for the truth of this world.”

As he spoke, Martin squatted down and looked down at the crystal under his feet.

"He is your friend?"

"Ah."

"He is trying to change reality, which is fruitless." Martin looked at the route in the crystal and said in a low voice.

"What does it mean?" The doubts in Mo Ling's heart were about to burst out. Ever since he came to this dark sea, he has been surrounded by unknowns.

The unknown sea, the unknown tentacles, the unknown crystals, and now an unknown weirdo. Everything seems to be covered with a layer of fog, and only a vague appearance can be seen.

"Why is he trapped in there? What does it mean to change reality...without any results? How did you know?" Mo Ling asked, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, to the only person he could communicate with in the deep sea.

The other party seemed to sense Mo Ling's urgency. The tentacles in the glass jar shook, and then a sigh came out.

“It’s a scam.”

Martin slowly held out his hand.

"I'll take you somewhere and you'll soon understand... hold my hand."

Seeing the other party's serious look, Mo Ling hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and put his hand on it.

The moment the two hands touched, a colorful ripple burst out from Martin's palm, directly illuminating the dim sea. The world in Mo Ling's vision was suddenly divided like a thousand-layer cake. Countless identical deep seas overlapped at different angles, and there were gaps between them.

Martin took his hand and jumped into the gap. The countless identical deep seas turned into parallel water curtains, falling down at an increasing speed.

They had clearly “jumped” down the gap, but they were actually rising. The falling water curtain became their elevator, rising higher and higher in relative movement, and finally, it seemed as if they had broken through some kind of barrier…

When Moring turned his gaze back to his surroundings, he found that he and Martin were standing in a strange place. There were beds all around, and on the beds were "humans" lying as stiff as sculptures.
