I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 691 Dance Floor
"Death is painful. Even though the tortoise lives a long life, it still has its end. Even though the flying snake rides on the mist, it will eventually turn into dust..."

The man in red looked at the giant wolf that was unrecognizable and suddenly laughed out loud.

"Did you see that? If it weren't for the turtle, there would be no end of time. If it weren't for the flying snake, it wouldn't have turned into dust... There is a way to escape the pain of death, so the obsession with life span can also be easily resolved."

The red moon in the sky flickered, then dissipated in the storm, turning into specks of moonlight that fell into the red dance floor. The wolf's head swayed like a snake, swallowing the red moonlight that was as bright as snow. The wolf was no longer a wolf, and it was freed from the painful constraints of illness, old age, and death, and broke free from its obsession.

Mo Ling looked at the swinging wolf head, his heart trembling with the deafening music. He did not see any free creature breaking free from its restraints, but instead felt endless terror.

"Is this how Hongguang City helps people resolve their obsessions?" he asked in a daze.

"What else?" The man in red looked like he had seen through everything and said calmly, "Isn't this a solution?"

"If life is painful, then don't give birth."

“If aging is painful, then stop aging.”

“If illness brings suffering, then live with the illness.”

"Death is painful, so I will be rewarded with an immortal body..."

“When suffering is gone and desires are satisfied, obsessions will naturally disappear.”

The man in red pointed to the dance floor below and asked Mo Ling with a smile, "What other solutions do you think there are?"

When asked this question, Mo Ling suddenly felt his mind was blank and he didn't know how to answer.

It is true that this can solve the obsession, but the price is a bit too terrible.

Li Luo probably wouldn't accept such an approach...

Seeing that Mo Ling didn't answer, the man in red also became interested.

"Are you coming to Hongguang City to resolve your obsession? What kind of obsession is it? Tell me... Is it birth, aging, sickness and death? Or something else?"

Mo Ling looked at the expectant eyes of the man in red, hesitated for a while, and shook his head: "I don't have any obsession."

"No obsession? Then why did you come to Hongguang City? Are you embarrassed to say it? Is it about reproduction?"

The man in red was guessing, but he went completely off track...

"Are you obsessed because you can't find a partner to reproduce with? It's okay, I've seen this happen many times. It's the instinct of living things. There's nothing to be embarrassed about."

The man in red said this and pointed to the edge of the dance floor.

"See over there?"

Mo Ling looked in the direction he pointed and was stunned.

Amid the trembling music, two creatures that looked like balls of waste paper were clinging tightly to each other, showing their affection to each other, with the edges of the balls of paper reaching into each other's bodies.

Then, along with the ripples, the two pieces of waste paper were completely crumpled into a ball, bathed in the red light that flickered like a raging fire, and danced to the rhythm of the music...

A hazy light and shadow flashed by, and countless small paper balls rolled out from the crumpled ball of waste paper.

Mo Ling was completely stunned and stared at that place for a long time.

"see it?"

"I saw it..."

"It is the only creature left in its species, so it came to Hongguang City to fulfill its obsession." The man in red explained.

"What is its obsession?" Mo Ling asked blankly.

"Don't you know this? It's about reproduction. It needs a reproductive partner, both to satisfy its own desires and to continue its own race. This is its obsession." After listening to the explanation of the man in red, Mo Ling suddenly realized.

"Then how can Hongguang City find a breeding partner for it?" Mo Ling was still a little confused.

"Just keep watching and you'll know..."

The crazy rock music was still going on, and at the edge of the dance floor, the crumpled paper ball finally separated.

However, there was something wrong with one of the balls of paper. Its body was slowly becoming blurred. First, its color became redder and redder, as if it had merged with the red light. Then its body began to dissipate and turned into a shining point of light. Not long after, the ball of paper turned into a ball of illusory light and shadow, which shattered with the music.

The other ball of paper turned a blind eye to the disappearance of its reproduction partner, as if it had long been accustomed to this matter...

Seeing this scene, Mo Ling immediately understood:
The red paper ball is the "reproduction object" created by Hongguang City for the creature!
"It turns out that this can be manufactured and can actually reproduce?"

Mo Ling quickly looked at the small paper balls and found that they had not disappeared. These offspring created by the fictional reproduction objects could actually continue to exist.

Now, Mo Ling had a new understanding of the abilities of the red light.

"Do you understand?" asked the man in red.

"I understand." Mo Ling nodded.

He finally understood why so many creatures gathered in Hongguang City...

"Now that you understand, why don't you go?" The man in red pointed at the dance floor and said to Mo Ling.

"What to do?"

Mo Ling was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was still being misunderstood by the man in red, and he quickly began to explain...

“I really don’t have any obsession.”

Seeing that Mo Ling was still speaking with a righteous look, the man in red finally believed it.

"Really not?"

"Not really."

"Without obsession, what are you doing in Hongguang City?"

"If you don't have an obsession, can't you come to Hongguang City? Can't you come here for a trip?" Mo Ling didn't want to expose Li Luo's affairs, so he made up an excuse.

"I didn't say no." The man in red nodded in understanding and actually believed Mo Ling's obviously fabricated reason.

"In this city, you can do whatever you want, whether you are traveling or resolving an obsession, it doesn't matter, here you are absolutely free..."

The music in the dance floor was still coming, and the red raindrops in the sky were getting bigger and bigger. In the interweaving of light and shadow, everything became hazy and dreamy. The leaping red light spots fell everywhere with the storms that occasionally rose in the dance floor, stirring up chaotic ripples.

The fire seemed to be burning more and more fiercely, and the creatures below seemed to be becoming more and more crazy...

The man in red still looked calm, sitting on the shaking roof, staring down, as if thinking about something.

The resurrected snake wolf howled in the red light, the sound blending into the beating rhythm. The waste paper ball brought a group of offspring, and the light spots in front of it slowly gathered, as if it was creating something again...

The music on the dance floor seemed to reach its climax, and the light spots and the creatures below became more and more restless.

They squeezed and pushed each other, and some weak creatures were trampled into a puddle of mud. The light spots swarmed forward and devoured all the meat on the ground.

However, death did not seem to alert the creatures below. Instead, they were stimulated to become even more crazy and danced again to the beautiful music.
