I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 460 We will get there, right?
"Where's the cube?"

When Li Luo woke up from her trance, she was already lying on a patch of grass.

Some dim sunlight shone through the forest and onto her.

She looked back and saw the cube floating quietly to the side.

Before losing consciousness, Li Luo saw that the characters on her nameplate had changed, so she quickly picked up the nameplate and looked at it carefully.

"Level 4... Is this already the fourth level?"

A cool breeze blew over, and there seemed to be no danger on the fourth floor. The surroundings were quiet and harmonious.

……

Inside the cube, Mo Ling was organizing the space that was getting bigger again.

“It’s doubled again.”

Looking at the increasingly larger cube of space, Mo Ling actually felt a little empty.

"When it was only one cubic meter, I felt constrained and uncomfortable. Now that it is eight meters long, wide and high, it feels a bit empty. It seems that no matter what, there will be troubles."

There was only a simple bed in the cube space, a pile of strange debris in the corner, and food piled on the other side, which made the space seem even more empty.

Mo Ling sat on the bed, looked at the tidy space, and sighed.

He did not experience the same synchronization as Li Luo, nor did he see any flames rising into the sky.

They just saw the sunlight shining into the mirror square and flashing a few times, and then Li Luo and Fang Kuai both arrived on the grass.

Then the space became larger, and then Li Luo lay on the ground, unconscious.

After checking Li Luo's body and finding that she was just asleep, Mo Ling began to tidy up the suddenly larger space.

But no matter how I clean it up, it always feels empty.

“It would be nice if there was a computer here and a sofa here.”

Mo Ling felt a little regretful that he didn't take a good look around when he went to Dawn City before.

"If only I had gone to the furniture store at that time..."

The long-lost peace allowed Mo Ling to free his mind and start to have wild thoughts.

……

After checking the nameplate, Li Luo took out the electronic screen and began to look for information about the fourth level of the abyss.

The faint light shone on her face, interrupting Mo Ling's wandering thoughts.

"Still so impatient."

Li Luo can't rest at all and always looks busy.

Mo Ling sighed helplessly and controlled the cube to move forward.

……

"Sky Island Fault", a strange name.

Humans have argued many times about whether this place should be considered one of the layers of the abyss.

This is the area connecting the upper and lower parts of the abyss, consisting of countless floating islands.

Compared to the vibrant first three floors, this place seems dead silent.

There are no strange biological communities, nor abundant relics. The broken sky islands limit the development of civilization to small areas, and civilization ends hastily at a certain stage.

The clouds in the sky carry dangerous, strange and alienated rules, and the environment of each sky island is extremely unstable.

It is even more difficult to move between sky islands. Not only does it require flying means, but you also have to go through those dangerous alien clouds. Only in clear weather will you have a chance to see the sky islands in the distance.

Some researchers in Dawn City believed that the Sky Island Fault was just a buffer zone and could not be regarded as one of the layers of the abyss. However, the first advance team that arrived here at that time, against all odds, designated this place as the fourth layer of the abyss.

"If you have been to the abyss in person, you will definitely understand how special it is..." No one could understand what the advance team said at the time.

It was not until humans went deeper that they gradually understood the importance of the Sky Island Fault.

This is not just a buffer zone, but a barrier that prevents something from spreading upward.

These sky islands are like nails that pierce the spine of the abyss, making those things deeper inside unable to move...

"Something deeper?"

Li Luo picked up the electronic screen and began to search curiously.

However, the words "Insufficient Authority" appeared on the screen.

The information in the lower half of the Abyss seems to have been deliberately hidden.

Looking at the information that came to an abrupt end, Mo Ling also felt itchy. He quickly wrote something on the electronic screen and sent it to Li Luo.

"What is the lower part of the abyss?"

Li Luo looked at Mo Ling's question and shook his head.

"The information was hidden and we only skimmed over it in class."

"There is a consensus in human society that only those who have been to the lower part of the abyss are qualified to know the information of those places."

"Once you reach the fifth floor, you are qualified to know the information on the fifth floor. Once you reach the sixth floor, you are qualified to know the information on the sixth floor. No one can violate this rule."

"Why?" Mo Ling asked puzzledly.

"This is a kind of protection. If you haven't experienced it yourself, it will be polluted. It's like describing the existence of water to someone who has never seen it. He will go crazy."

“It is invisible, colorless, and tasteless, and it can bear countless weights, yet it is incredibly soft… People who have never seen water will constantly imagine the existence of water until their brains burn out and they become obsessed.”

Having said this, Li Luo paused and looked at the cube seriously.

"That's what the teacher told us in my first Abyss class, and he kept emphasizing it afterwards."

“Knowledge is a kind of pollution. You can’t help imagining it until it penetrates deep into your bones and becomes a disease beyond cure.”

"If you are told not to think about elephants, you will keep thinking about elephants, and this is even more poisonous to people who have never seen an elephant. They will go crazy looking for information about elephants."

"He searches for pictures, videos, and text descriptions of elephants... until his brain is filled with information about elephants, he still won't be satisfied. He will want to see the elephants in person."

"It is easy to look at an elephant, but it is difficult to look at the abyss. It is a very terrible thing to desire the abyss."

"So, you can't even know it, you can't even hear the word 'elephant'."

“It’s a form of protection.”

Li Luo's calm voice echoed around the cube, but that gentle voice went straight into Mo Ling's heart.

"A kind of protection?"

Mo Ling has somewhat ignored the horror of the abyss, and the ability of the cube always gives him the confidence to face those bizarre events.

However, the abyss is not that simple...

The wind blew calmly on the grass, and the dim sunlight passed through the clouds, over the treetops, and shone on the cubes.

Li Luo took a deep breath, feeling the hard-earned peace, and the seriousness on his face slowly disappeared.

"But we'll find out eventually."

"This is only the fourth floor. We will go to the fifth floor, the sixth floor... all the way to the bottom of the abyss. Then we will know everything."

As Li Luo was talking, he seemed to remember something and his eyes revealed sadness.

"We'll get there, right?"
