I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 681 Anchoring
"Are you ready?" the staff member asked softly.

"All right."

Li Luo slowly walked to the hole, then suddenly turned around and asked, "Do I need to put down the things I'm carrying?"

"If they are part of you, then they are not necessary," the staff member replied.
"Part of it?"

"Yes, they have always belonged to you and have been with you all the way. When we talk about your name, these things are also included, just like when we describe a person, his hair, hands and feet, clothes, facial features... they are all part of this person and are included in the description of this person's name."

As if worried that Li Luo didn't understand, the staff member walked aside and took a can from another colleague.

"For example, when I say the word can, I am describing the can body, lid, packaging, and food inside. All these things belong to the can."

Although he was still a little confused, Li Luo nodded.

Her luggage had been with her all the way here. The books collected from room 0122 and the newly purchased supplies were all placed in the room. Now it was just for testing, and judging from the staff, there shouldn't be any problem.

Thinking of this, Li Luo took a deep breath, looked back at the block, then jumped from the edge of the simulated abyss.

"thump."

The warm feeling disappeared in an instant and the sunlight no longer covered my body.

It was like jumping into a pool of icy cold water. The biting cold penetrated the clothes, seeped into the skin, and drilled into the bones. But after a shiver, the cold feeling quickly disappeared, as if one had adapted to the "water temperature".

The voices of the staff outside suddenly became blurred, as if separated by a thick layer of glass. The rustling sounds swirled in his ears. He clearly heard a lot, but couldn't make out what they meant at all. The sounds that passed through the abyss seemed to have turned into another strange language. Fragmented words and chaotic sentences kept whispering in Li Luo's ears.

"Work...test...continued..."

It was like being at the bottom of a deep body of water. Inhuman voices kept coming from the completely dark ink. Those voices surrounded Li Luo, as if they were discussing how to deal with her.

Being in darkness, a great fear suddenly surged into my heart.

Li Luo struggled in the dark ink and wanted to swim upwards, but he found that no matter how hard he swam, he could not avoid sinking. Although he could still breathe, he felt suffocated.

Li Luo gasped and stretched his hand upwards with force.

In the cold and dark ink, there was nothing for her to grasp.

The shore was out of reach, and she drifted along the quiet flow of the water towards the endless distance.

It was a black river flowing in the abyss. Countless lives were excluded from it. Their corpses and broken souls fell into the boundless abyss, into the bottom of chaos without light and order. They were stripped, decomposed, reorganized, reorganized into different shapes, reorganized beyond recognition...

Li Luo's consciousness seemed to extend into the distance along with the darkness. She pursued the whispers surrounding her and wandered aimlessly in this world without any light. The deep abyss river flowed into an unknown canyon. Her consciousness was also stirred again in the collision between the river and the ground, turning into water vapor and flying to an unknown place.

Just when consciousness was about to be completely lost, the hand raised high actually grabbed a hard object.

Just like a drowning man grabbing the shore, Li Luo immediately grabbed the hard object.

Although the object was somewhat slippery, she still climbed up with difficulty.

"This is a cube..."

In the darkness, Li Luo couldn't see anything, but she could feel that it was a regular cube.

"Cube, are you here to save me?"

The cube slowly flew upwards, dragging Li Luo through the dark abyss canyon, flying over the waterfall of the Abyss River, and floating above the flowing river.

A breeze blew in the silent darkness, and the suffocating feeling quickly dissipated. The sound of the river flowing below made the lost attention refocus, and his thoughts no longer sank.

When facing the darkness again, Li Luo had new feelings.

Everything in the abyss seems to follow a rule: disorder and death fall, order and life rise, the birth of life requires death as the price, and all order needs to be reorganized with disorder. The unique cycle will make the creatures in it feel the impermanence of life. This rule gives everything two sides...

Life and death, love and hate, white and black...

Everything has a price; this is the established logic of the abyss.

The water of the Yuan River falls into the canyon, and the bursting water vapor combines into new things, gradually floats up, and gradually becomes regular and orderly, but after being broken, it will become disordered again, fall into the Yuan River, and enter the cycle again.

Metabolism, new blood replaces old blood.

In the silent darkness, Li Luo seemed to hear some kind of huge heartbeat.

"Thump...thump..."

The abyss is executing the rules over and over again following the sound of the heartbeat. Every burst will speed up the flow of the abyss river.

“It’s like a living creature.”

That suffocating abyss is nothing more than the blood vessels of the abyss...

After realizing this, the fear in Li Luo's heart disappeared.

She seemed to see a dying giant beast huddled motionless in the crevice, its blood coagulating and its life in danger. Its heartbeat was becoming slower and slower, and the circulation in its body was slowly disappearing.

Even the abyss itself cannot escape the rules of life and death.

The Yuan River cannot flow forever, and its eternal cycle will eventually return to calm.

At the end of time, it seemed that nothing could escape, and everything was inevitably falling into that dark singularity.

Only the block beneath him was floating slowly.

Fly over the falling abyss, fly over the dying beast, fly over the dying life, fly out of the water, fly under the sunlight...

"Little cube, fly and fly, over the forest and over the sea."

"Addicted to dreams and addicted to love..."

"Tall people turn around and around, for desire and wealth."

"Falling into the abyss and into disaster..."

"The disorderly butterfly keeps fleeing, becoming a disaster and a nuisance."

"Rebirth again and again..."

"..."

Amid the surrounding whispers, Li Luo seemed to hear that familiar nursery rhyme again, the one that his mother had sung many times.

Only this time, Li Luo heard it more clearly. Those long-forgotten lyrics came back to his mind along with his memories.

"Why did you suddenly remember it?"

A wave of sadness rose in Li Luo's heart.

She closed her eyes, letting the transparent tears fall into the endless darkness, creating endless ripples in the abyss...
