I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 689: The Power of Rainbow City
"Do you feel it? This is the power of Rainbow City..."

The person in front of Mo Ling was talking to him while gesticulating.

Mo Ling, who had turned into a cube man, stood on the side of the road, looking a little dazed.

"Where am I?"

……

Not long ago, when Mo Ling withdrew his attention from the things in the abyss, he found that Li Luo was missing.

He thought he hadn't caught up, so he hurried down to chase after him, but found that he couldn't find Li Luo at all.

After groping in the dark for a while, Mo Ling saw a city emitting red light.

"Is this Rainbow Light City? Has Li Luo fallen in?"

Mo Ling curiously controlled the cube and floated into the city.

The city was flashing with fiery red lights everywhere. Those strange buildings were like the light balls in a dance hall, emitting dazzling beams of light that swept everywhere. After falling into the city, Mo Ling was actually dazzled by the lights and turned into a cube man.

"Is it because of those red lights?" Before he could figure out why it suddenly became like this, he caught a glimpse of a person walking up to him.

"New here?" The man was wearing a red coat. He didn't look like a hunter who came to explore the abyss. Instead, he looked like a tourist. After seeing Mo Ling standing there in a daze, he immediately came over.

Mo Ling nodded doubtfully.

The red beam of light shone on the man's red coat, making it look even more vivid. The buildings on the roadside kept swaying, as if they were woven into flames, burning madly. There were also leaping red spots of light floating in the air, which occasionally fell on the burning buildings and were thrown far away by the burning tail flames.

"Where are you from?" The man in red asked about Mo Ling's origins as if he knew everyone.

"Pipeline Fortress." Seeing that it was a human, Mo Ling was not on guard.

"Oh? Is the Pipeline Fortress now accepting foreigners? No wonder you can speak human language."

Seeing the man's reaction, Mo Ling realized that he was no longer in human form.

"What is your race?" the man continued.

"Cube tribe."

"Will you fight?"

"Ah?" Mo Ling was a little slow to react.

"Let me ask you, can you fight? How good is your fighting ability?"

"Not really." Mo Ling answered seriously, and then saw the man's disappointed expression.

"Then take care of yourself." The man in red suddenly lost interest in Mo Ling and turned away.

While Mo Ling was still confused, the man in red walked towards something that looked like a pillar in the distance and started talking to the pillar.

Mo Ling then realized that the pillar was actually a living creature!
The pillar was his foot, and on the top of the pillar was a ball.

As the man in red was talking, he suddenly kicked the pillar.

"Fight me!"

The pillar seemed to be angered, and it swung its body towards the man in red, but its movements were too clumsy, and the man in red just jumped to the side to avoid its attack.

Then, the man in red went around to the back of the pillar and kicked it at the base, causing the pillar to stagger and fall down.

Seeing the pillar squirming on the ground and unable to get up, the man in red started laughing loudly: "Too weak! Too weak!"

He stepped on the pillar that was struggling on the ground and raised his head towards Mo Ling.

However, things did not end there. The expression of the man in red suddenly became ferocious. He pulled out a knife from his waist and stabbed it directly into the body of the pillar creature, cutting it open.

Suddenly, blood began to flow... But the bright blood splashed under the red light, and it was not noticeable at all. Even though the ground was soaked with blood and the flesh of the pillar creature was all over the ground, everything seemed normal under the red light...

A flash of light passed, and the man in red reached into the pillar, took out a black vesicle, and then put it in his mouth and chewed it. Then he kicked it with his foot, and the dead creature rolled to the side of the road...

Mo Ling was completely stunned when he saw this scene.

"What are you doing?"

Red spots of light floated around the man in red. Mo Ling couldn't tell for a moment whether it was the original color of the clothes or the color stained red by blood. Or maybe the clothes were not red at all, but were turned red by the light from the city.

The man in red kept chewing, as if he was tasting some delicious food.

Mo Ling pointed at the dead creature on the ground and was about to ask something when he saw the red spots of light around it rushing towards the corpse like locusts, instantly eating up all the flesh and blood of the pillar-like creature.

Red light, even redder...

The flaming torrent leaped and the light spots flew into the air again like exploding sparks.

The man chewed the food in his mouth and danced awkwardly in the flying sparks. The hem of his red clothes swayed as if he was wiping blood on the ground.

Sparks flew, and the man in red looked at Mo Ling again, his eyes red.

"Do you feel it? This is the power of Rainbow City..."

……

"Why did you kill it?"

"Ah? Why?" The man in red seemed to have never thought about this question. While chewing the food in his mouth, he stared at Mo Ling with his red eyes wide open.

"Because I want to fight? Because I want to taste him?" He scratched his head, looking confused.

But not long after, his confused expression disappeared and turned into an indifferent expression.

"Killing is killing, what's the reason?"

"It's been watching me over there. Maybe it wants to kill me! Isn't that how the world works? If you don't kill others, others will kill you."

"Besides, I'm hungry too, and it just happened to appear in front of me. Do you have to think of a reason when you eat food?"

"Or does your species not need food?"

The man in red returned to Mo Ling and spread out his hands, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.

The red light behind him was dancing, as if the killing just now had never happened.

The red coat was still a little wet, as if it was covered in blood, but under the burning red light, it was impossible to see clearly.

After listening to the red-clothed man's words, Mo Ling gave up the idea of ​​continuing the argument.

This city and its people seemed strange, and Mo Ling didn't want to cause unnecessary disputes.

"Is this Hongguang City?" Mo Ling asked carefully.

"Yes." The man in red nodded: "You've come here, but you don't know where this is?"

"Can obsessions be resolved here?" Mo Ling asked.

"Obsession?" The man in red was stunned, as if he had thought of something: "Of course, what is your obsession?"

"You want revenge?"

"Still want to become stronger?"

"Is it for birth, aging, sickness and death?"

"Or for someone?"
