I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 582 Black Disaster

The mercury creature seemed to have not noticed Mo Ling and the mysterious doctor in the spaceship at all. It just controlled the silver spaceship to escape. Its body inevitably began to tremble. Fear made the liquid body almost collapse, and countless droplets scattered on the ground.

He gently took out an object that looked like a circuit board and began to write on it with his own dripping liquid:

"In the 3,700th year of the Mercury Calendar, we discovered a creature in the rift void. This creature occupied an entire rift planet and covered the entire surface of the planet. With the purpose of exploration, we landed on this planet."

"After landing on this planet, we immediately studied this black creature. At first, we thought it was a low-level mechanical life form. They used small black spheres as basic units and combined into various forms to forage, reproduce, and fight..."

"This rift planet has been completely occupied by this kind of creature. We haven't found any other life here, not even soil or water. We guess that these things may be buried under the black biological layer. This planet also has no resources of any kind, and even the gas is very thin."

"At the same time, as we stayed on this planet for longer and longer, we found that the forms of this creature began to increase, and these forms posed an increasing threat to us and became increasingly dangerous. They were very aggressive towards outsiders. We speculated that they had a certain learning ability and could continue to become stronger in battle."

"Finally, when we were exploring a canyon, there were casualties, so we decided to return to the spacecraft and leave this rift planet."

"But these creatures had no intention of letting us go. They launched a more ferocious attack, directly knocking our spaceship to the ground and even chasing us. After losing several spaceships, we escaped from the planet."

"However, even if we leave the planet, we still cannot escape the pursuit of these creatures. They gather into huge tentacles and start attacking us outside the planet..."

The mercury creature kept drawing on the circuit board, and his body was gradually collapsing. The spikes not only pierced the spacecraft, but also seemed to have hurt the mercury creature.

His movements became slower and slower, as he kept adding records to the circuit board.

"Planet coordinates..."

"Biological Naming: Black Plague."

"Features: black sphere, aggregated organisms..."

After he finished recording these data with great difficulty, his body suddenly began to collapse. His originally solid mercury body began to soften and gradually melted...

Finally, the circuit board also fell into a pool of mercury.

"This is the source of the disease." The mysterious doctor beside Mo Ling suddenly said.

"Is it this creature?"

"No, it's that recording board." The mysterious doctor stretched out his shrunken finger and pointed at the recording board in the mercury.

"This spaceship will slowly fly towards the homeland of the mercury creatures. Their tribe will find this record board and learn the coordinates of the Black Disaster planet. Then they will observe the planet. Once they start observing, the Black Disaster on the planet will become active."

"Soon, these black disasters will flood into the rift void and completely destroy the homeland of the mercury creatures..."

There was no sound in the mysterious doctor's tone, but everything he said shocked Mo Ling greatly.

"Why would the Black Plague destroy the homeland of the mercury creatures?"

"Because the mercury creatures feel that the black disaster will destroy their homeland." The mysterious doctor replied indifferently.

Hearing this, Mo Ling understood everything instantly.

The black plague is not a "disaster" in itself, but if observers think they are a "disaster", they will become a "disaster".

"The destruction of the mercury creatures will attract the attention of other species. They will begin to investigate the cause of the destruction of the mercury creatures, but this will also allow them to discover the traces of the black disaster. When they know that the black disaster is the source of the destruction, they will become afraid of the black disaster..."

"Then, this 'disaster' will spread through the cracks." "The more attention and fear you pay to the black disaster, the more terrible it will become."

"Fear the conspirators, and be destroyed by the conspirators."

"Those who fear war, are destroyed by it."

"Those who fear the plague will be destroyed by it."

"Until the black disaster burst out of the crack and came into the abyss..."

After hearing the mysterious doctor's words, Mo Ling sighed in his heart. The thing called "Black Disaster" might not even be a living thing, but it became a disaster that destroyed everything in the eyes of other races.

"Doesn't anyone realize the true nature of the Black Disaster? Can't we just give up observing it?" Mo Ling was a little confused.

"Even if we tell those races the truth, they won't believe it..." There was a hint of helplessness in the words of the mysterious doctor.

"It is impossible for a group of people to give up monitoring their enemies when facing a powerful one. Even if there are some sober people among them, they will be overwhelmed by the majority of ignorant and fearful people."

"It is the instinct of living things to open their eyes wide when encountering an enemy. If they are asked to close their eyes, shut down their senses, and allow themselves to be manipulated, they will only think that you are harming them."

"Who can guarantee that the abandonment of observation is not false news spread by the Black Plague or other hostile races?"

"When the chain of suspicion is formed and the information about the Black Plague is completely spread, all the truths will be meaningless. All ethnic groups will choose a safer approach. They will keep staring at the Black Plague and pray that this terrible disaster will not fall on them. But they will not expect that when they stare at the Black Plague, the Black Plague is also staring at them..."

At this point, Mo Ling has already understood that all this is irreversible. When the first creature that observes the black disaster appears, the disaster is bound to happen.

If no one is willing to close their eyes, the black plague will spread wantonly and become a deep-rooted plague.

Looking at the recording board in mercury, Mo Ling finally understood why the mysterious doctor called this the source of the disease.

"If this record board had not been passed on, would the Black Plague not have spread?"

"Yes, this is the root cause." replied the mysterious doctor.

Mo Ling was stunned: "You used the root healing method?"

"Of course, didn't I tell you that this was in the past?"

"Then can you erase it?" Mo Ling asked.

What Mo Ling didn't expect was that this mysterious doctor who exuded a terrifying aura directly stated that he was powerless.

"The impact is too great. The butterfly has already fanned a hurricane. The energy required to heal is immeasurable. I cannot change the past..."

The mysterious doctor's tone remained flat, but the facts he conveyed were despairing.

It is a regret for every doctor to find the cause of the disease but be unable to solve it.

Mo Ling looked at the recording board lying in the mercury, hesitated for a moment, and said:
"let me try?"
