I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 745 Standard Human
"Origin Cell?"

Li Luo stood behind the bubble man, not daring to make any sound.

She didn't expect that the original cells that Lan Xin had been looking for were actually in the iceberg under her feet.

Is it dark under the lamp?

Li Luo looked at the bubble man sitting there motionless, and his breathing became rapid. Facing this powerful creature alone, it was impossible not to feel panicked.

In the silent ice cave, Li Luo's breathing could be heard all around. The bubble man seemed to have suddenly noticed the person coming and slowly turned his head.

The transparent head turned around, revealing the facial features clearly. Its inhuman gaze instantly fixed on Li Luo at the entrance of the ice cave.

Li Luo suddenly felt that the whole world was staring at him, and it seemed that the gaze was not from one "creature", but the overlap of many, many creatures.

Human, bird, beast, fish, insect...

Countless eyes overlapped in a transparent eye socket. She seemed to see the prying eyes of fellow humans, the curious scrutiny of birds, the vigilance of wild beasts, the ignorance of fish, and even the countless compound eyes of insects reflecting her.

That gaze instantly penetrated her body and saw through the essence of her species. The human body held no secrets at all under that terrifying gaze.

However, the gaze did not stay on Li Luo in the end, but gradually faded and fell on the purple gauze that Li Luo was wearing.

Xiao Zi was still a thin "cloak" at this time, draped over Li Luo's body. She had just called Xiao Zi out to resist the cold wind, and had not had time to take her back. Now the bubble man was staring at Xiao Zi. It was obvious that he cared more about Xiao Zi than Li Luo who broke into the ice cave.

The bubble man's lips moved slightly and made a strange sound, as if he was saying something to Xiao Zi, but Xiao Zi didn't respond. He just lay quietly on Li Luo's body, fulfilling his duty of "protecting Li Luo".

After fruitless communication, the Bubble Man finally looked at Li Luo again.

Its lips moved again, but this time it was no longer an incomprehensible strange sound, but standard human language. The voice was full of energy and gentle, like an extremely cultured young man, with a sense of intimacy that came from nowhere...

But such a perfect voice made Li Luo's scalp tingle instantly, because such a voice could not be made by a normal human being.

The intonation of every word was perfect, without a single mistake.

Every pause is rhythmic and there is nothing awkward about it.

It is like a machine, but more perfect than a machine, with an incomprehensible sense of "correctness", as if for humans evolved to this point, this is the most standard pronunciation, determining a "center point" among countless language branches, unbiased and right in the middle.

Facing this "standard human", Li Luo felt more and more weird. He was too standard, so standard to the point of perfection. This was an extremely scary thing.

"Nothing is missing, nothing is superfluous..."

This word was originally used to describe handicrafts, but now it can be used to describe human beings.

It seems that humans are also processed from some kind of "factory", and the person in front of me happens to be that unique "template"...

"You look very nice today."

The voice sounded like a greeting between old friends, with an unusual sense of intimacy.

Li Luo did not answer, but just looked quietly at the bubble man sitting on the ground, his whole body on alert.

As if sensing Li Luo's nervousness, the bubble man slowly stood up from the ground, and his standard human body was clearly displayed in front of Li Luo. Except for being transparent, all parts were extremely standard and flawless.

After standing up, the surface of its body suddenly began to wriggle, and the thin bubbles began to expand, wrinkle, and stretch... and finally turned into a well-fitting suit, decent and graceful.

This "standard human" slowly walked towards Li Luo and stood at a suitable distance. "Are you afraid of me?" it suddenly said to Li Luo.

Li Luo still looked at it silently, and also looked at the red and blue sand table on the ground.

Noticing Li Luo's gaze, the Bubble Man turned to look at the sand table on the ground and said nonchalantly, "That's a game."

"Do you like playing games?" The Bubble Man turned his head again and asked Li Luo.

Li Luo still didn't respond, but his hands were slowly tightening around his purple cloak.

"It seems that you don't like playing games... This is rare. Many humans I know like playing games."

"From the time they are young, humans prefer to play a variety of games, and through games they learn the skills they will need for adulthood."

"Single-player games, cooperative games, competitive games..."

“Human society is made up of various games. When humans grow up, they also ‘play’ various roles, such as workers, doctors, teachers, programmers… They use their skills to work hard in the fields of each role, improve their levels, and finally form a unique role.”

As he spoke, the Bubble Man raised his hand and pointed upwards.

"Lan Xin... Teacher level 20, Hunter level 50, Chef level 19, Lover level 36, Cleaner level 12, Tamer level 5, Killer level 1, Driver level 13, Long-distance runner level 9, Writer level 4, Detective level 8..."

As the bubble man recited the long suffix, Li Luo also looked in the direction it pointed and towards the top of the ice cave. Above it was Lan Xin standing on the top of the iceberg.

In the Bubble People's cognition, Lan Xin is a human individual composed of a series of "identity affixes". These identities and levels are like "codes" on a person, and each person is unique.

As he spoke, the Bubble Man put his hand down again and looked at Li Luo.

"What about you? What's your role?" The bubble man took two steps towards Li Luo and looked directly into his eyes without disguising anything: "Hunter, daughter, breeder, entrepreneur, extreme athlete... and what's that? Fire thief?"

"Well, I can't see clearly. The veil on you hides you."

"What a beautiful purple..."

Li Luo didn't quite understand the bubble man's confusing words. Seeing it approaching him, he quickly took a few steps back.

Seeing that Li Luo was still on guard against it, the bubble man did not move forward. Instead, he turned around and returned to the red and blue sand table.

With its back to Li Luo, it kept muttering:

"Purple, purple, why is purple so difficult to collect?"

"Then how can I collect all my illustrated books?"

"Game number 263, rock-paper-scissors, used..."

"Game number 141, also used, still no purple."

The bubble man squatted down and squeezed the red and blue together with force, but the two colors slowly bounced apart.

Looking at this scene, Bubble Man sighed helplessly...
