I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 692 Dancing gracefully
"It's coming." The man in red sat on the roof, muttering softly.

"What's coming?" Mo Ling asked curiously.

"The most brilliant dance, the most beautiful death."

"die?"

"Yes, look at those guys below, do they still care about their lives? When they are most complacent, that is the time of their death. Indulgence in desires can kill obsessions, and can also kill themselves..." The man in red said with some emotion as he looked at the dancing creatures.

Mo Ling was a little surprised when he heard what the man in red said: "Are they all going to die?"

"Part of it..."

The man in red was still talking when a huge wave of sound interrupted their conversation.

Mo Ling looked in the direction of the sound, only to discover that a huge red ball of light had appeared in the middle of the dance floor at some point in time. The ball of light was densely covered with countless holes, and dazzling beams of light shot out from the holes, shining on the creatures in the dance floor.

"Is that a, light ball?"

How did it really become a dance floor?
While Mo Ling was still wondering, the huge red ball of light began to spin. The music became louder and louder as the ball spun. The horrifying sound waves kept hitting the creatures in the dance floor. Some weak creatures were even knocked down by the sound waves and fell onto the dance floor.

The creatures that fell down never seemed to stand up again.

They were like stones dropped into the water, causing a circle of ripples, but just a circle of ripples, and then disappeared completely.

In the noisy dance floor, the disappearance of these weak creatures did not seem to cause any commotion. A red smoke rose from where they disappeared, and in the smoke there were countless red light spots. After the light spots rose, some of them drilled into the bodies of other creatures, and the rest dissipated in the air, making the entire dance floor even more hazy.

"Where did those disappeared creatures go?" Mo Ling couldn't help asking.

"It's back to desire." The man in red replied calmly, "When desire is magnified to a certain extent, it will devour the body and the soul. You can think of desire as ketchup in French fries. If you put too much ketchup, it will drown the French fries, and they will only taste like ketchup... Those light spots are the ketchup in the French fries. The essence of those creatures has not changed, they just taste like ketchup."

After listening to the red-clothed man's wonderful metaphor, Mo Ling understood it for a while and continued to ask: "You mean, those red lights are the desires of living things?"

"Yes, they transformed from the physical form into the form of desire."

"They're not dead yet?"

"Of course he's dead. His body parts have changed from French fries to ketchup. Doesn't that mean he's dead?"

The man in red insisted on his opinion, and Mo Ling didn't intend to continue arguing with him, so he looked at the dance floor again.

The deafening sound waves shook the creatures in the pool into the air. As the red raindrops fell, the creatures that fell on the dance floor disappeared, while the creatures that could still stand continued to dance.

They had gone completely crazy. In the hazy red light, they seemed to have become part of the dance floor, rising and falling with the dancing red light, in complete sync.

The huge red ball of light was growing bigger and bigger, turning into a red sun looming over the dance floor. The densely packed holes emitted dazzling light, sweeping across all the creatures on the dance floor.

The light even swept across the roof where Mo Ling and the man in red were. After being swept across, the roof shook even more violently, and spark-like spots of light rose up from the place where it swept, swaying and floating towards the sky.

"Are you okay staying here?" Mo Ling was a little worried.

But the man in red was not afraid at all. He stretched out his hand, grabbed a handful of the floating red light spots, and stuffed them into his mouth.

It was like chewing a handful of red jam. The scarlet juice oozed out from the corners of the man in red's mouth, looking very creepy.

The man in red frowned as he chewed on the spots of light.

"Le Tie Lu Wang's Wu Dou Yu Yu Ruo." An unclear sound came out of his mouth.

"What did you say?"

"I say, these desires are getting worse and worse." The man in red showed an expression that he couldn't swallow, but in the end he swallowed hard. Then he collapsed on the roof, panting and looking at the sky.

"It tastes terrible. It tastes terrible. What kind of desire is this?"

Mo Ling walked over curiously and looked down at the man in red lying on the roof.

"Are you OK?"

"It's okay, I just feel sick..."

"Can you eat those desires too?"

"Of course I can eat it. I can eat anything." Although the man in red was slumped on the roof, he still answered Mo Ling's question seriously.

After thinking for a while, Mo Ling continued to ask: "What does desire taste like?"

After hearing this question, the man in red showed a complicated expression.

"It depends on what kind of desire it is..."

"Desire is the flavor of fruit. Different kinds of love have different flavors. The desire between lovers is like a ripe peach. If it is too early, it will be a little green. If it is too late, it will start to rot."

"The love between family members is like the faint scent of apples, which is always there and lasts for a long time."

"There are some very complex loves, like fruit salad, they combine together to create a special taste..."

"The desire for survival is the flavor of meat. The desire for survival of different creatures will have different meat flavors. Different degrees of desire for survival will also give off different degrees of doneness, such as medium-rare, medium-rare, and well-done. Sometimes it will be undercooked, and sometimes it will be overcooked, which will make it unpalatable."

"Curiosity is a bland vegetable..."

“The desire for power is like a heavy seasoning, which is optional, but adding it to other desires will add a lot of flavor.”

"besides……"

The man in red just lay on the roof, looking at the sky, and talking to Mo Ling about the taste of desire.

Mo Ling nodded and tried his best to stay calm.

"Who is this man in red?"

He was able to stay alone in such a dangerous place like Hongguang City and live so comfortably. Moreover, his "diet" seemed to be different from that of normal humans.

Sure enough, any human who can reach the fifth level of the abyss is not simple.

After the man in red finished introducing the taste of various desires, Mo Ling curiously asked what the desires he had just tasted were like.

The man in red frowned again, revealing an extremely uncomfortable expression.

He slammed his fist on the roof and cursed:
"What are those?"

“Why is there nothing but seasoning in a plate of cucumber salad?”

“Why can meat be burned to a charcoal taste?”

"Also, why is the flavor of peach mixed with the flavor of apple!?"
