I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 575: Poker's Memories

"Wake up, Pok! Wake up!"

In the maze, Xi kept shaking Poke's body.

"Where... is this?" Poke's weak voice suddenly came. He finally woke up from the recurring nightmare and returned to reality completely.

He wanted to move, but found that half of his body was buried in the soil, with a thick black chain on his chest. The ground around him was covered with withered hallucinogenic herbs. Looking at the huge black wall, Poke always felt that it was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where it was.

"I'll rescue you first."

Xi placed his hands on the ground around Poke. As the healing power was activated, the ground melted into a puddle. Xi exerted force and pulled Poke out of the puddle.

"And this chain..." Xi looked at the thick chain and felt worried. He didn't know the structure of the chain. Without the "cause of the disease", he couldn't initiate a cure.

However, at this moment, the chain that passed through Poke's body began to disintegrate on its own, dissipating into countless particles and disappearing into the air.

This was of course done by Mo Ling. After leaving Poke's healing space, he casually looked into the chains, and the chains collapsed instantly as he expected.

"It seems that these black ball aggregates all have the same characteristics, and these chains are no exception."

Xi, who was standing by, was stunned when he saw the broken chain, but he didn't hesitate for long and immediately began to check Poke's body.

Soon, Xi took out a ball of sticky black mud from Poke's chest. This ball of black mud was also composed of a bunch of small black balls. It seemed to have been stuck in the chain and only appeared completely after the chain disappeared.

"Lonely."

Xi instantly felt a strong sense of loneliness on this ball of black mud, while Poke, who was standing next to him, looked at the black ball and muttered in a daze: "Fear, it's fear."

The negative emotions they felt from this ball of black mud were different. It seemed that this ball of black mud could evoke the most vulnerable emotions deep in their hearts.

After the black mud was removed from Poke's body, he fell into a daze again, and only came to his senses after a while.

"I remember it now. I remember it all..."

The chains and black mud seemed to be the culprits that suppressed Poke's memory. When they were taken out, Poke's missing memories instantly came back, and his emotions returned to normal in an instant.

The big-eyed guy next to Xi came up to Poke and kept rubbing against him.

"What happened?" Xi asked with concern.

Poker pondered for a moment, stroked Big Eyes' head, and began to tell the story stumblingly...

……

After Xi fell into a deep sleep, Poke kept thinking about how to wake Xi up.

But at this moment, the elders found Poke and asked him to go back to the central island to treat a rare disease.

"What's the disease?" Poker asked.

“We don’t know the cause yet, but the situation is very critical,” the elders answered truthfully.

With the orders of the elders on one side and his sleeping companions on the other, Poke had no choice but to choose to return to the central island with the elders to deal with the more critical situation.

However, when he arrived at the central island, he found that the entire island had changed.

Black ball aggregates are everywhere, and high walls reaching the sky divide the entire central island into many parts. These high walls are also generating strange mazes, as if to block off the central island.

Before Poke could figure out what was happening, he was captured by a giant transformed from a black ball. All the doctors were confused about what this black ball was, and without knowing the "cause of the disease", they could not mobilize their power and could only be captured by the giant and taken into the maze and separated.

After being caught in the maze, he was imprisoned here with some other companions, while the elders were imprisoned in other places. It was at this time that Poker and Big Eyes were separated. At first, the giants did not use chains to pass through them, but just buried them in the soil.

Once they tried to escape, they would be caught by the giants. At the same time, they found that the maze was becoming more and more complicated and escaping was becoming more and more difficult, so the doctors temporarily gave up the idea of ​​escaping.

After being imprisoned, a sound would be heard from the surrounding high walls every once in a while.

The voice was asking them, “What is the nature of the healing power?”

After repeated questioning, the doctors all expressed their opinions. There was no accurate answer to this question, but the voice did not seem to care whether the answer was correct or not. It just wanted to hear the doctors' responses.

After all the doctors answered, the voice began to ask new questions:

"How do you use healing powers to make medicine?"

“How do you determine the cause of the disease?”

“Definition of disease.”

“How to use healing space.”

Later on, the voice asked more and more specific questions and began to inquire about more detailed things, such as different prescriptions for specific diseases, the differences between radical and conservative medicines, the application of healing power in non-disease areas... Sometimes, the voice would even ask very strange questions.

“Identification of Herbal Medicines.”

"The evolutionary paths and causes of extinction of animals protected on Senluo Island."

“The distribution of flowers on Baihua Island.”

These questions left doctors confused as to what the purpose of the sound was.

Could it be that the voice occupied the entire central island and captured doctors just to ask these strange questions?
Not only that, the doctors gradually discovered that even if they could not answer the question, the voice would not keep asking. After repeating it for a few days, the voice would change to the next question.

After discovering this, the doctors stopped answering any questions from the voice.

But soon, after realizing that it could not get the answer, the voice began to ask the giant to bring hallucinogenic herbs, hoping to use them to find out the answers in the doctors' minds.

The doctors also told the voice about the application of this herb, but they didn't expect that it would be used against themselves now.

Under the effect of hallucinogenic herbs, the doctors no longer had any secrets. As long as the voice kept asking questions and used hallucinogenic herbs to make the doctors see hallucinations, they would always get the answers they wanted.

Faced with this situation, the doctors came up with a solution. When the hallucinogenic herbs began to take effect, they began to heal their own bodies, allowing the effects of the hallucinogenic herbs to gradually subside. In this way, the voice would no longer be able to get answers from them.

However, what the doctors did not expect was that after discovering that the hallucinogenic herbs were no longer effective, the voice adopted a new method.

A chain grew out of the black wall, passing through all the doctors. After being pierced by the chain, the doctors would fall into a state of continuous memory loss, and their strength would be drained by the chain, forming a chaotic atmosphere in the maze.

When the doctors realized that their memories were disappearing, they planned to use healing powers to treat the amnesia, but they still couldn't find the cause and could only watch their memories continue to be lost.

The voice did not continue to ask questions. The doctors guessed that the voice must have stolen their "memories" in some way. As long as the memory was read, all the answers would be known. Of course, there was no need to ask again.

At first, it was the memory of the past few days, and then went further and further back... Slowly, they even completely forgot why they were trapped here.

Realizing that they could not go on like this, the doctors entered their own healing spaces one after another, wanting to investigate the cause of the amnesia. However, with the constant disappearance of memories and the interference of the medicine, they gradually got lost in the healing space.

Most of the healers' memories went back to the time period when they treated a certain patient, and the healing space also regressed.

Poker was the most lost among them, because he accidentally used the root healing method, which caused him to fall into a loop. Under the multiple influences of amnesia and drugs, he was trapped in the deepest part of the loop...
