I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 1203 Memory Bias

“I am in a huge metal space, and there are many things inside… The metal space is also square, like a cube, only much larger. I can see what is happening outside the cube through the walls, but I can’t touch it.”

"My body is still intact, but I don't know if this is my real body..."

"I don't know the specific principles behind teleportation..."

"It's very easy to use, and there's no cost to it."

"Aside from teleportation, no other abilities have been discovered so far."

"..."

"I need a Coke."

When they saw the latest words appear on the electronic screen, not only Director Wang, but even the recorder next to him was stunned.

Fortunately, Director Wang reacted immediately and quickly instructed his assistant to go find a few cans of Coke.

"Director, should we record this as well?"

"Of course I should remember it; it might come at some price."

Is there really such a price to pay?

"Of course, the price can be anything."

They were discussing in hushed tones when the electronic screen disappeared again. A short while later, it reappeared on the table, still displaying only a simple sentence:
"It's not about the price, I just want to drink."

……

"I knew it, Director, it's not about the price..."

"Never mind that, just write it all down."

"clear."

Afterwards, Director Wang inquired about the specific contents of the metal space and what it felt like to have a "view" that went through the walls, and received detailed answers to all of them.

"One more question, do you remember your name?"

The electronic screen reappeared, displaying two words: "Mo Ling".

“We will verify your identity. You can tell us other identity information, which will make the screening process easier for us.”

Soon, Director Wang obtained the specific information about "Mo Ling," and he frowned as he looked at it.

“These addresses… dates… Xiao Zhou, go check whether these place names actually existed at that time.”

The researcher whose name was called quickly took the electronic screen and began connecting to the database to search.

The results came out shortly afterward...

"Chief, there are discrepancies in the place names. Some places are just a few characters different. For example, Honghu Street is called Honghu Street in my search, and Tieping Lane is called Tieping Lane in my search."

Do these places actually exist? Do their locations correspond?

"They all actually exist, and their positions correspond to each other."

"This must be the street before the entrance to the abyss collapsed, right?"

"That's right, it no longer exists..."

"What about Base 921?"

"Wait a moment, Director. Because it's a military base, the level of secrecy is quite high. I need to request authorization before I can confirm."

The researcher, whom Director Wang called Xiao Zhou, kept operating the electronic screen, switching between several programs, and finally found some information about Base 921. Because so much time had passed and the information was classified, the amount of information obtained was limited. Xiao Zhou looked at the few pieces of information on the screen, glanced at them a few times, and then shook his head.

"No, the location information for Base 921 is incorrect. This base is in a city in the west, which is very far from the entrance to the Abyss. It's completely unrelated. Could you have remembered it wrong?"

As Director Wang listened to Xiao Zhou's words, he began to think. Connecting the discrepancies in the place names he had just heard, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Xiao Zhou, don't search for Base 921. Search by location and look for military bases near the entrance."

Xiao Zhou immediately understood what Director Wang meant and began to search carefully.

After a while, his eyes lit up as he looked at the information on the electronic screen: "Found it! Chief, it's Base 821! Not Base 921!"

"The base played a crucial role when the entrance to the abyss appeared. The troops assisted in the evacuation, resettlement, and relocation of civilians, making outstanding contributions to post-disaster relief and playing an important role in the reconstruction work..."

As Xiao Zhou read the information on the electronic screen, his eyes grew increasingly certain.

"Director, this should be the base, Base 821. This is the base that Salvation Cube mentioned. I'm very sure there are no other bases nearby. Both the location and the function match perfectly."

Director Wang nodded and looked again at the information provided by the Savior Cube.

Are you sure this information is correct?

"Yes."

"If it's not a problem with your memory, then it must be something else..."

Director Wang had several guesses in his mind.

“Xiao Zhou, continue investigating whether the person ‘Mo Ling’ exists. Then, based on the information, list all suspicious items. Information management was very chaotic during the Abyss invasion, so don’t be misled by those incorrect information. Be careful.”

"I understand, Director." Xiao Zhou nodded heavily.

After making the arrangements, Director Wang turned his head and looked at the cube again.

"I'm sorry, your information needs further verification. As you can see, there are many discrepancies between the information you provided and what we found. We need to analyze it carefully to find out the reason..."

"Do you have any thoughts on this?"

The electronic screen disappeared again.

After a while, the electronic screen reappeared, displaying a sentence that stunned Director Wang.

"Perhaps I am not from your world."

After regaining his composure, he asked the cube curiously, "Why do you think that? Do you mean parallel worlds? This might be beyond my comprehension... Where did you learn about this? Do you still have any memories of this?"

A thirst for knowledge once again shone in Director Wang's eyes.

However, the answer given by the cube greatly disappointed him.

"I don't remember at all. It's just my subconscious reminding me that this is possible."

Although the memory has disappeared, the reflection on certain issues remains, and those sudden bursts of inspiration may be fragments of memory.

Director Wang understood that this matter couldn't be rushed; they could only guide the cube to recover its memory gradually.

"If you remember anything, please let us know immediately. We will also investigate your identity to determine if you are from this world as soon as possible..."

"Let's move on to the next step. We need your cooperation to test your observation and teleportation abilities. Please follow our instructions."

"At the same time, we will also conduct some physical tests on the cube. If you feel uncomfortable, please let us know immediately."

As Director Wang explained the upcoming test to the cube, he instructed the researchers to prepare. The entire laboratory was operating smoothly. Although everyone was excited, they remained remarkably calm. Soon, the test began...
