I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 738 Reunion and Fragments
"There are outsiders here..."

"This is in other people's minds, please pay attention..."

"She's still watching..."

Lan Xin secretly turned her head and glanced at Li Luo a few times.

The double pupils no longer had the cold feeling at this moment, instead they looked like a shy deer, with eyes full of evasion.

Li Luo was stunned for a moment, then turned his head as if nothing had happened and looked at the flames rising into the sky.

"The fire is burning so fiercely..."

The ruins in the city were crackling with flames, and Li Luo no longer paid attention to what was happening behind him.

The flames rose high. This dream that had always troubled Li Luo did not seem so annoying now...

The sound of burning covered up the conversation between the two people behind him. Li Luo could only vaguely hear some complaints and low voices of comfort. As the flames burned more and more vigorously, he could hear nothing.

Just as the wall of fire was about to burn in front of him, a gentle call came from beside Li Luo.

"Let's go, I'll take you out."

It turned out that Lan Xin had come to the side. Li Luo turned around and saw that Doctor Liu was gone.

"What about him?"

"Here it is..."

Lan Xin spread out her hands, and there was a small piece of debris lying in the palm of her hand. It looked like a glowing puzzle piece. There was a faint flicker of flame in the puzzle, and it seemed that some kind of pattern could be vaguely seen.

"Are these really his fragments?" Li Luo asked in disbelief.

Lan Xin looked at the fragments and nodded gently, with a hint of loneliness in her eyes.

"Why did he turn into pieces?" Li Luo asked.

Lan Xin raised her head and looked at the fire in front of her.

"Let's talk about it after we get out..."

She looked at Li Luo, raised her hand again, and poked Li Luo's forehead with her fingertips.

It was the familiar feeling of isolation again. Li Luo felt that he was completely separated from this world, suffocating, dark... When he came to his senses again, he was back in the dazzling blue light. Everything that just happened seemed like an illusion.

Lan Xin slowly withdrew her hand. Li Luo looked over and found that the fragment was in Lan Xin's hand.

"It's not a hallucination."

Lan Xin carefully brushed away the fragments with her other hand, and the glowing fragments disappeared instantly.

"You won't have those dreams anymore. I have taken away his fragments." Lan Xin said softly to Li Luo.

"How... did he become like that?" Li Luo asked impatiently.

"Because of a game."

"game?"

"Yes……"

Under the flickering blue light, Lan Xin slowly told Li Luo the story between her and Dr. Liu...

"At that time, he thought of many ways to create a body for me."

……

At the beginning, the method Dr. Liu used was relatively normal.

For example, using Lan Xin's cells to create a clone, but the conditions at the time did not allow it. With the invasion of the abyss, human concepts became more conservative, and cloning was more strictly prohibited. Therefore, this path was completely blocked.

Dr. Liu also thought about using other bodies, but after testing, he found that these bodies could not carry the consciousness of Lan Xin from another world. That consciousness was too powerful and would cause great damage to the normal body.

With the technological level of humans at that time, creating a body was not a simple matter. Not only did it have to withstand ethical tests, but it also had to endure the passage of time. Perhaps by the time the body was formed, both of them would have turned into ashes...

After the path of "technology" failed, Dr. Liu began to look for answers in the things brought by the abyss.

For example, there are all kinds of relics that can create bodies, and all kinds of strange abyss creatures...

As luck would have it, he really found one. That creature is called a shadow, and it can completely copy the main creature.

While researching shadows, Dr. Liu found a relic that could increase the probability of a shadow spawning, and even created a shadow for himself.

But when he told Lan Xin the good news, Lan Xin in another world rejected him.

"If I treat my shadow as my body, I will lose myself."

Lan Xin in another world was unwilling to pay the price of losing herself. She didn't want to become an empty shadow, so no matter how suitable the shadow was, she was unwilling to agree.

Although Dr. Liu was very frustrated, he still chose to respect Lan Xin's choice.

Anyway, the abyss is so big that we can definitely find other ways.

Although they found nothing in the process of searching for the body, the two developed a deep relationship.

They often discussed various fantastic creatures of the abyss and the abilities of various relics together, hoping to find a truly "perfect" body.

However, things went against one's wishes and such a relic never appeared. In reality, Lan Xin grew up slowly and became a teacher at the Dawn City Welfare Home.

Every time Lan Xin in another world wants to meet Dr. Liu, she has to occupy the body of the real Lan Xin, which is very inconvenient.

At the same time, Dr. Liu also found that he had white hair.

Time passed unnoticed, and Dr. Liu became more and more anxious...

Until one day, Lan Xin waited at the door of the welfare home at the agreed time, but Dr. Liu did not arrive.

She thought Dr. Liu was busy, so she waited there for a long time, but she never saw Dr. Liu.

She had no choice but to call Dr. Liu, but the voice she heard was unfamiliar.

"I'm looking for Doctor Liu."

"Who is Dr. Liu?"

"..."

Realizing that something was wrong, Lan Xin called the hospital directly.

The person who answered the phone was Dr. Liu's colleague. Lan Xin quickly asked about Dr. Liu's whereabouts, but the reply from the other end of the phone made her even more confused.

"Who is Doctor Liu?" The same words were spoken by Doctor Liu's colleague.

After confirming it several times, Lan Xin hung up the phone in confusion.

She personally went to the hospital where Dr. Liu worked... Then, she found the park where they often hung out together, the restaurant where they had eaten together, and their former friends and acquaintances...

Lan Xin was surprised to find that "Doctor Liu" seemed to have never existed, and no one knew him except herself.

"what happened?"

She looked for many acquaintances and even found an old comrade of Dr. Liu before the abyss invasion. Fortunately, this old comrade still knew Dr. Liu.

However, her old comrades told her that Dr. Liu had died when the Abyss invasion began, and the entire patrol he was a member of was buried in the sea of ​​fire.

"It's not that no one knows him...but, he has already died?"

Lan Xin was completely confused, as if in the entire world, only her memory was disordered, and she and everyone else were in a different "timeline".

Lan Xin returned to the welfare home in a daze and found a piece of glowing debris on the ground in front of the gate.

That was the place where she and Dr. Liu often met, and she did not see the fragment when she left.

So she picked up the fragment. The moment she held it in her hand, a light flashed and a memory emerged in her mind...

……

In a daze, she saw that Dr. Liu seemed to have found a strange spherical creature, like a giant cell.

The creature will float out of the ball, imitating the appearance of a human, looking like a bubble man.

The Bubble Man asked Dr. Liu why he was looking for it, and Dr. Liu explained that he wanted to create a body for his friend.

The Bubble Man agreed, but also put forward a condition:
"You play a game with me, and if you win, I will grant your wish."
