I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 1234 No More Hiding
"In this room, not only the walls, floors, tables, and chandeliers... everything else is made of blocks, right? Including the food we eat, the water we drink, everything."

Mo Ling looked at Martin and asked seriously.

Martin said nothing, he just nodded.

"Why do this?"

"To allow her to realize her potential."

"It started around that time?"

"It started before she was born; she was chosen, and only she could do it."

Upon hearing Martin's answer, Moring's confusion reached its peak.

Why does it have to be her?

"Some things are beyond our control; whoever you are, you are. Just like your uniqueness, fate has already chosen your path..."

As Martin spoke, he walked over to Moring and patted her on the shoulder.

"Is that enough for you to know? She's doing well, believe me."

“No.” Mo Ling shook her head: “I need to know everything… Who designed this house? Was it Li Luo’s… father?”

Mo Ling suddenly thought of the figure in Li Luo's memory, the person Li Luo had always wanted to find.

“He’s just a pawn,” Martin said, shaking his head helplessly.

Just a pawn?

Who is the mastermind behind this?

Li Luo's childhood was meticulously planned, and even his journey into the abyss might have been calculated, including his encounter with him...

Mo Ling felt a chill run down her spine just thinking about it.

Martin kept avoiding his question, seemingly unwilling to touch the chess player's clothes.

"Are you worried that I've offended that chess player?" Mo Ling asked seriously.

"Offend? No, you can't offend me. I'm just protecting you... Maintaining the status quo is the best outcome. You won't be harmed."

"I don't need protection, I just want to know the truth."

Mo Ling reiterated her wishes.

He had expected Martin to continue avoiding the question, but to his surprise, this time Martin directly asked him a question in return:
"Have you made your decision?"

Mo Ling paused for a moment, then nodded firmly.

"I knew it..." Martin muttered softly, then suddenly pounced on her and tackled Moring to the ground.

Before Mo Ling could react to what was happening, a colorful crack appeared on the floor, instantly swallowing the two of them.

come down.

Martin pressed down on Moring, and they continued to fall, the wind whistling past them, and the dream world around them was like a thousand layers of cake.

"We don't have much time. I'll tell you everything. What you do next is up to you."

"It's a complicated story, it all started when you lost consciousness at the bottom of the abyss..."

……

At the bottom of the abyss, the burning flames brought salvation, but also led to the collapse of the body. To use the human body to fight against the despair of the abyss is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, not to mention that he had entered the sky in a way that was not allowed.

Despair poured down, and his uniqueness made his body "unique." Once destroyed, his consciousness had nowhere to rest.

Upon awakening on the 0th level of the dream, Lu held a ball of flame in his hand, which was Mo Ling's consciousness, teetering on the brink of collapse under the corrosive influence of despair.

"How to do?"

Lu Qi frantically inquired of the person in front of him, sensing their goodwill. "We need to find something to put him in."

Martin looked at the dying flames and said worriedly.

"Pack it up? With what?"

"It needs to be a sufficiently stable container, one that can also contain its uniqueness..."

The flames were still flickering, and Lu Qi could no longer feel much warmth. He carefully held the ball of fire, his body beginning to tremble. He wanted to do something to make the flames burn brighter, but he was also afraid that his actions would extinguish them, so he could only remain in this stalemate.

"Think of a way, think of a way, please." Lu Youqi could only begin to plead with the person in front of him.

At this moment, he held the flames, unable to do anything.

Watching the person who saved him disappear before his eyes, Lu Youqi simply couldn't accept it.

"This is the only way for now." Martin couldn't think of any better solutions either.

He reached into the colorful crack beside him, took out a kimchi jar, walked over to Lu Youqi, opened the lid, put the ball of flame into it, and then slowly closed the lid.

Inside the empty kimchi jar, the flame hung suspended in the air, seemingly about to go out. But just then, some colorful tentacles emerged from the gaps and gently touched the flame. The flame flickered, and the outer flame seemed to expand slightly, but quickly shrank back down.

The flames and tentacles remained locked in a stalemate. Whenever the flames were about to go out, the tentacles would extend to "add fuel" the fire, but they could only maintain this half-dead state.

Upon seeing this, Lu Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and his body went limp.

“I can only keep him in this state; I can’t go any further.” Martin handed the jar to Lu Youqi.

“It’s alright, this is already very good…” Lu Youqi said softly, holding the jar.

Looking at the weakened flames, he felt a surge of immense guilt.

If he hadn't been consumed by despair, Mo Ling wouldn't have gone to save him, and he wouldn't be in this state now.

He has now escaped from despair, but at a price...

Can he ever go back to his original state?

Lu asked the unfamiliar canned man in front of him.

"Unless a suitable medium is found, we will have to stay like this indefinitely."

What is a suitable medium?

"Having sufficient stability is easy to satisfy; many things are stable, including living organisms and mechanical bodies. But another condition is difficult to meet... uniqueness is required."

"Uniqueness? You mean the same uniqueness as him?" Lu Youqi pressed.

"Yes, only a unique vessel can carry a unique consciousness, and his original physical body was one of those."

Why does it have to be unique?

"Hmm, let me think. For example, if he were to enter a body that is not unique, and he controlled that body to move, wouldn't the bodies in other parallel worlds also have to move? One consciousness driving countless bodies would cause his consciousness to collapse instantly."

"Why do all the bodies in parallel worlds have to move? Can't the body he controls just move on its own?"

"Of course not. This body is not unique. It is connected to all the bodies in parallel worlds, like intricate gears interlocked. Consciousness is the power source, driving the gears to turn. A unique consciousness can only drive the rotation of a single gear. It cannot drive so many gears."

Hearing this specific analogy, Lu Youqi was stunned. He hadn't expected that uniqueness had such a drawback. Indeed, everything comes at a price.

"So we need to find a single, existing 'gear' to match his 'power source' which doesn't have much power, right?"

"That's right, you understand perfectly."

This put Lu You in a difficult position. The only unique thing he knew of was Mo Ling, and he had only heard about this special attribute from the Eternal Thirst, so he didn't know much about it.

"Do you know where you can find something unique that can serve as a medium?"

He asked Martin again, but only received a shake of the head.
