I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 1224 remains unclear
More than a hundred years have passed, and humanity still doesn't know what's at the bottom of that huge pit?

This abruptly ended "journey into the abyss" left Mo Ling's thoughts frozen, forcing the connection of memories to a halt. The most crucial point could not be recovered and remained buried deep within her subconscious.

The passage of time has not brought humanity the truth. As times change, the abyss closes, future skyscrapers are covered with smooth metal, and people dress more and more fashionably, their ideas undergo earth-shattering changes. Even at this point, the bottom of the abyss remains unknown to humanity.

It's a very strange feeling, like an ancient human from more than two thousand years ago traveling to the modern era and discovering that modern humans still cannot calculate the trajectory of "wind," and that the so-called "fluid dynamics formulas" that modern humans have come up with are just empirical formulas, not much different from his divination using tortoise shells.

The unknown remains unknown. Time has brought progress to civilization, but it has not brought a definite answer.

Should we feel "sad" or "fortunate"?

It's sad that humanity didn't cherish time; I'm glad I didn't fall behind...

Mo Ling's feelings were complicated. The scene around him lit up again, repeating the scene in the abyss, but he no longer had the mood to appreciate it.

Mo Ling took out the electronic screen and began searching for information about the bottom of the abyss. Sure enough, just as the staff said, humanity still doesn't know what's at the bottom of the abyss. Their understanding of the abyss is still limited to the sixth level, and this understanding has persisted since the abyss was sealed off.

Although humanity has improved its knowledge of the Abyss and formed a complete system by studying what it has left behind, the limits of its understanding have been reached and it has stagnated.

"Can humanity, with its existing knowledge, one day deduce the true nature of the abyss?"

Mo Ling was skeptical of this idea.

Some places can only be fully understood by actually seeing them.

"And what about me? Have I ever been to the bottom of the abyss?"

The memories are too vague. The deeper the memory, the harder it is to uncover. Without enough information, Mo Ling cannot stimulate these memories and bring them to the surface.

"I need to find something even more exciting, but without information about the bottom of the abyss, how can I get that kind of thrill?"

A crack appeared at the end of her memory, and Mo Ling had no idea what lay on the other side.

"Perhaps I should try a different approach?"

Just as he was pondering this, the staff not far away began to organize themselves again.

"Kids, it's almost time. Would you like to go to the Abyss-themed restaurant for a meal?"

"Yes!" Upon hearing about the themed restaurant, the children quickly forgot their earlier disappointment and answered in unison.

"Then come with me, let's go back to the platform first..."

……

"I'm not going, I'm not hungry." On the suspended platform, Mo Ling expressed her thoughts to the staff.

"Yes, sir, you can tour it yourself. Most parts of Dawn Tower are open to the public, and the closed areas are inaccessible by platform. You can explore on your own. If you encounter any difficulties, just ask my colleagues; they will be happy to help you." The staff member gave Mo Ling a bright smile, without any formulaic insincerity.

"Thank you." Looking at that sincere smile, Mo Ling expressed her gratitude.

You're welcome, have fun.

"it is good."

Upon reaching the themed restaurant floor, the staff led the tour group out. The adorable children timidly waved to Mo Ling as they passed by, including the little girl from before.

"Bye-bye, Uncle Cube." "Bye-bye, Little Luo."

How did you know my name was Xiao Luo?

"Your teacher just called you, I heard it."

"Oh...this is for you, Uncle."

Xiao Luo took a block out of her monster-themed satchel and handed it to Mo Ling.

Mo Ling took the building blocks and was stunned.

By the time he wanted to express his gratitude, Xiao Luo had already caught up with him at the teacher's urging, turned around from afar, and waved to Mo Ling.

Mo Ling stiffly raised her hand, wanting to wave, but she couldn't move it at all; her hand was stuck in mid-air.

Only when the platform's passage was closed and the children could no longer be seen did the hands raised in the air slowly come down.

"Why... I don't really want to say goodbye..."

……

Mo Ling continued upwards along the suspended platform. After the children left, it wasn't as lively anymore. There were very few people on the platform, and everyone was busy with their own things, making it very quiet.

Mo Ling watched quietly as the clouds outside the platform descended. The huge inter-building passageway appeared and disappeared in the sea of ​​clouds. Sometimes the outlines of other tall buildings would appear through the gaps in the clouds, but they would gradually disappear as the platform rose. There were fewer and fewer people around her. After reaching a certain height, Mo Ling was the only one left on the platform.

His destination was the top of the Dawn Tower. The reason he wanted to go there was that ever since he saw the name "Dawn Tower," a blurry image of the top of the tower had appeared in Mo Ling's memory. The "person" he had been looking for seemed to be there.

Although time has passed and the person you're looking for is no longer there, perhaps going there will allow you to find some lost memories.

The clouds and mist gradually thinned, and the platform had reached the top of the cloud layer. The outlines of the buildings in the distance reappeared after the clouds and mist were no longer obscured, growing above the clouds like bamboo shoots. Some small "bamboo joints" intertwined and constructed a luminous sky city.

"So high..." Looking at the boundless sea of ​​clouds and the buildings nestled within it, Mo Ling couldn't help but exclaim.

Even after reaching the clouds, the platform continued to rise, gradually surpassing the tops of other buildings. The surrounding passageways between buildings gradually decreased, and the Dawn Tower stood alone, towering high above the sea of ​​clouds.

The buildings below gradually shrank, turning into glowing "strips." This was a perspective Mo Ling had never experienced before. He gazed at the sea of ​​clouds with wonder, gradually forgetting his destination.

His thoughts gradually returned to normal only after the platform began to slow down.

"Is it almost time?"

He was starting to look forward to the view from the top of the tower.

It must be very cold up there, right?

The Dawn Tower has been rebuilt and increased in height many times, and the top of the tower is no longer the original top, but Mo Ling still wants to go and see it.

As the platform's speed gradually slowed down, his heart began to race, as if it were a sign of something.

Finally, the platform stopped, the passage slowly opened, and Mo Ling's heart rate reached its peak. He stepped off the platform and onto the top of the tallest tower in Dawn City, which was also the highest point in the city.

The wind rustled through her clothes, and Mo Ling saw a blinding light...
