I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 693: Sea of ​​Ketchup

The man in red spoke as he pounded on the roof angrily.

After venting his anger, he collapsed again and lay there lifeless like a salted fish.

The ball of light rose into the sky, illuminating the entire dance floor.

As the sound waves vibrated, the ball of light actually began to jump.

Bright red spots of light were squeezed out from the holes, and the red light flickered with the rhythm, dyeing the creature on the dance floor a deeper red.

"Is that a heart?"

Mo Ling looked at the huge ball of light dancing in the air. With every vibration, countless light spots would erupt from the densely packed holes, like gushing blood, soaking the entire dance floor.

"Thump, thump..."

The deafening sound made Mo Ling's body begin to vibrate. He put his hand on his heart, but felt nothing because it was too noisy in here. All vibrations except that of the music were covered up.

After a while, something terrible happened...

After the bright red cloud of light covered the entire dance floor, the outlines of the creatures seemed to become blurred in the hazy red, and the edges of their bodies gradually merged with the red, and the "boundary" that was not very obvious to begin with began to become confused.

Every vibration, every jump in rhythm would make the boundary a little more blurred. Under step-by-step erosion, those creatures actually became part of the red light.

"French fries, all covered in ketchup..."

Now, Mo Ling completely understood the red-clothed man's wonderful metaphor.

When the ketchup becomes an ocean, all those fries mean nothing.

Red occupied everything, and only countless jumping spots of light remained in the sound waves. They were like burnt-out sparks, floating from the dance floor into the air, and then blown down by huge balls of light, pouring onto the dance floor.

The beams of light were still sweeping across the dance floor, but the initial liveliness was gone.

In the red smoke, there are only a few living creatures left.

Even if they managed to survive, only part of their bodies remained, and the remaining part was still emitting red light and was dying.

The original rock music gradually turned into a elegy.

The rotation and jumping of the ball of light became weaker and weaker, and the red sun that rose into the sky slowly fell down and crashed into the blood-red dance floor.

The spots of light fell like snowflakes, and the flickering red light gradually subsided.

As the last wave of sound spread across the dance floor and the red world trembled one last time, everything was over.

When the smoke and dust cleared, only a few broken limbs remained on the dance floor. Some creatures were still dancing strangely, while others stood there in a daze, seemingly unaware of what was happening. Some even rushed out of the dance floor like crazy and disappeared into the red light in the distance...

"finished?"

The man in red climbed softly to the edge of the roof and looked down. His eyes kept scanning the dance floor, as if looking for something.

But in the end, he still didn't find what he wanted.

The man in red sighed helplessly, climbed back to the middle of the roof and continued to lie there. He raised his hand, looked at the flashing red light in the sky, and traced the crisscrossing paths of the light with his fingertips, but after a while, he seemed to feel a little bored and slowly put his hand down.

"What are you looking for?" Mo Ling looked at him and asked curiously.

"what?"

"Were you looking for something just now?"

After hearing Mo Ling's question, the man in red shook his head, then nodded. "I just want to see if there are any qualified creatures. The ones just now are not qualified."

"Qualified? What does that mean?" Mo Ling asked.

The man in red lying on the ground raised his hand and pointed softly in the direction of the dance floor.

"As long as you can dance a complete dance in there, you'll pass... Your body and mind must be intact. You can come out the same way you entered."

Listening to the explanation of the man in red, Mo Ling was a little confused.

"Are there really any living creatures that are unaffected by the red light?"

Mo Ling had already witnessed the power of those lights. Any creature that entered them almost completely lost their sanity and became puppets of desire, falling into extreme madness.

Even if one could resist that kind of madness, one's body might be injured by other creatures, not to mention being able to perform a complete dance.

Not only that, daring to dance in there is equivalent to actively attracting those red spots of light. At present, it seems that those red spots of light will not only arouse the desires of living things, but can even transform the body. Under such dual effects, it is difficult not to fall.

This "qualified" standard seems a bit high...

"Why are you looking for qualified creatures?" Mo Ling asked the man in red lying on the roof.

"Because we need it to resist the madness of Rainbow Light City..." The man in red collapsed on the roof and said in a daze, "If there is no creature that can restrain those red lights, they will become stronger and stronger. Their power will no longer be limited to the dance floor, but will spread to the entire Rainbow Light City. At that time, the entire Rainbow Light City will suffer."

The light spots in the dance floor had not yet completely fallen. Through the gaps between the light spots, Mo Ling saw many figures standing on the roof in the distance.

Like the man in red, they were all observing the creatures remaining in the dance floor.

Unfortunately, no "qualified" creatures appeared, and so those figures gradually faded away and disappeared in the flickering red light.

Mo Ling stretched out his hand, wanting to catch those drifting spots of light like the man in red, but those spots of light just passed by Mo Ling, as if they were unwilling to get close to him.

"You can't catch them. You don't belong to Rainbow City."

"why?"

"Because you have been here for too short a time." The man in red said lightly.

Then, he looked at Mo Ling again, as if he had become a different person, and said in a very serious tone: "Leave Hongguang City as soon as possible before it is occupied by the red light..."

Mo Ling was a little stunned when he heard the words of the man in red. He didn't expect that this crazy and seemingly unruly guy would actually persuade him to leave. You know, not long ago, he had instigated Mo Ling to go down and dance.

"Why did you let me leave so suddenly?"

"Since you have no obsession, why stay?"

"I have something else to do." Mo Ling said in a low voice.

"Travel?" The man in red smiled jokingly: "Whatever you want..."

The man in red propped himself up and staggered up from the ground. Perhaps because he had been lying there for too long, he could hardly stand steadily. He seemed like he was drunk and almost fell off the roof.

Fortunately, Mo Ling helped him and he regained his footing.

Snow-like points of light were still falling, and the night sky was completely dyed red.

After looking into the distance for a while, the man in red stretched himself and suddenly turned to look at Mo Ling:
"Do you need a guided tour?"
