I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 656: Swaying Shadows
"what is this?"

The shadow immediately cried out in surprise, but the dark vines kept penetrating deeper and deeper, continuously pouring into the shadow.

At the same time, the shadows of the vines on the ground became fainter and fainter, and it seemed that they would disappear soon.

"What? What are you talking about? I'm a shadow?"

"What does that mean? You're the shadow! I'm human!"

"I'm from the Pipeline Fortress, and I'm a member of the Abyss Pioneer Group... What, my name?"

"My last name is Liu, and I'm a doctor..."

"No! No! What on earth did you do to me?"

The black shadow suddenly uttered a bunch of strange words, and then, as if stimulated, it continued to expand, and in the blink of an eye, it returned to human form.

However, the changes have not stopped. The human figure of the black shadow keeps changing, sometimes into a young man, sometimes into an old man, and sometimes into a young child. Sometimes there is even a splicing of different forms.

Its voice is also constantly changing, sometimes young, sometimes old.

"Why did I turn black? I shouldn't be like this... Am I not a human? Oh, now I remember. It's all my fault, senior. He taught me the Shadow Sword Technique. After I mastered it, I would inevitably turn into this."

"From the shadow? Is that a book of swordsmanship? I don't remember... I don't remember..."

The black shadow seemed to be suddenly confused in an instant, and kept saying some incomprehensible words. Sometimes he suddenly looked at the block and became dazed.

The dark vines were still pouring into its body. Seeing this, Mo Ling quickly activated the teleportation and directly cut off the wriggling black vines.

"That's right! That's it!"

As Mo Ling cut off the dark vines, the black shadow suddenly changed from a human form back into a square plane, and then suddenly expanded and turned directly into a cube like the block, but the cube was completely black and did not reflect any light at all, just like a black hole.

Mo Ling was stunned when he saw the black cube that was also floating in the air.

The shadow on the ground squirmed again, and the dark vines came back and stabbed towards the black block, but this time, it failed.

An invisible attack directly acted on the dark vine, cutting it off again.

Mo Ling was even more shocked because he didn't initiate the teleportation at all.

That "teleportation attack" was emitted by the black block!
"Shadow? It copied my attack pattern?"

Mo Ling looked directly into the black square and found that it was pitch black inside and there was no sign of teleportation.

"It just copied my attack method, but didn't understand the principle of my attack?"

While Mo Ling was still wondering, the black square changed again.

Suddenly, countless black vines crawled out of the surface of the black square. As soon as they appeared, the black square began to collapse. It turned into black smoke again and shrank back into a human form. Vines like parasites kept crawling out of its body. The human-shaped black shadow kept pulling out those tiny black vines with his hands, muttering to himself.

"I'm not from the Shadow, stop talking. I'm a human, stop talking! Stop talking!"

"Does it matter who it is? I am just doing what I should do. I want to escape from here, I want to report what happened here, I want to stop you, I want to protect humanity, this is what I should do!"

"Doctor Liu asked me to be a good person, to save as many people as I can, and to use my limited strength to build a better future for mankind. I don't think this is wrong."

"My seniors have told me that the Shadow Sword Technique is for protection, not for killing. I want to protect the things I think are important, no matter who I am or what others think of me..." "The awards from my superiors? The eyes of others? Self-recognition? I am just a human shadow, why should I care so much? My predecessors have already told me what to do, I just need to keep practicing it."

"I did it, I am human! I am me!"

The black shadow shouted loudly and tore those tiny black vines apart completely. Its body, which was originally collapsing, was no longer in chaos. After stabilizing its body, it leaped into the gap in the shadow of the vines and stood firmly on the spot.

The shadow did not continue to attack. After squirming for a while, it regained its calm.

The light illuminated the vines that supported the sky. The shadows on the pure white ground remained motionless, overlapping with the pattern of the vine eyes. Surrounded by vague gazes, the remains of the fallen vines seemed to have disappeared, leaving only countless scattered debris.

Mo Ling was a little confused about the current situation and could only float in the air, waiting silently.

After getting rid of the influence of the dark vines, the black shadow stood there blankly, as if sorting out its thoughts. From time to time, it knocked its head with its hand and looked at the shadow on the ground. It also seemed to be in a state of confusion. It seemed that it had forgotten everything it had just said and done.

After standing there for a while, the shadow came to its senses again, pointed directly at the shadow of the vines on the ground, and shouted:
"You are from the shadow!"

"I understand! You are the shadow of that vine. You want to get rid of it and gain true freedom, but you can't get rid of the instinct of imitation, so you keep distorting its behavior, trying to break its bondage to you!"

The black shadow looked at the vines that blocked out the sun, then looked at the motionless shadow on the ground.

"Look at the sword!"

The black shadow suddenly exploded into a ball of black smoke and attacked the shadow on the ground. Mo Ling on the side was also sucked into the black smoke.

The surroundings became dark again, but those strange gazes still existed.

The shadow's voice could be heard from time to time, and it seemed to have found the location of the vine's shadow...

"The sword technique of Congying, it is Congying that is to be killed!"

"I found you...evil spirits and monsters, watch out!"

"The first move - look up at the sky! Let me see what you are imitating!"

As the black shadow shouted out the moves from the Shadow Sword Technique, the black smoke suddenly broke open, and a dazzling light shone in through the hole.

It was not until the light gradually calmed down that Mo Ling realized that the outside was no longer the pure white space, and the floating debris disappeared without a trace.

What you see is a vibrant green.

Beyond the black smoke, there is actually a forest?
Not only that, the perspective seems to have become a little strange...

Everything he saw was strangely distorted, and Mo Ling was unable to adapt for a moment.

“It’s like lying on the ground and looking up.”

"Is this related to the move that the shadow used? Looking up to the sky? Whose head is being raised? And who is the sky?"

What did the shadow do?
Could it be that the "Shadow Sword Technique" that sounds so ridiculous actually has any effect?

After wondering for a moment, Mo Ling looked at the forest outside and realized belatedly that this strange perspective seemed to come from -

shadow.
