I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 780 Pyramid

As Li Luo was walking, he suddenly discovered something. He went to the corner of a pyramid and touched the stone bricks there.

Then, as she walked further, she found another pyramid and touched the same location.

Touching the same stone brick, Li Luo suddenly said something that shocked Mo Ling:

"These pyramids are all the same."

She stood there for a moment and shook her head again.

"No, it's not the same pyramid... it's the same pyramid at different times."

“The one at the beginning is the oldest, and the further you go, the newer ones are.”

"Even the damaged parts are the same..."

Li Luo touched the side of the brick and found a clearly visible scratch on it, as if it had been scratched by some sharp object during construction. Then she walked to a nearby pyramid and found the same location and the same brick. This brick also had the same scratch on it.

Same length, same depth, even the curve at the end is exactly the same.

Just because of the passage of time, there is more dust in one scratch and less in the other.

Not only that, Li Luo also found other similarities.

Man-made structures make it easy to find specific flaws, and these flaws are the key to determining whether these pyramids are the same one.

"Not only are the defects the same, but the angles of deviation in some places are also the same. Also, the way the stone bricks were carved and stacked, the height of the steps, the spacing between the stone pillars..."

"Exactly the same."

Li Luo gave her own judgment. She turned her head and looked at the pyramids behind her with the night vision goggles that could only display blurry images.

She seemed to be walking along the channel of time, all the way forward to an unknown era, and those pyramids were anchor points for locating time, using the state of each pyramid to determine the present time.

After looking at it for a while, she looked at the cube with a serious expression: "I don't think we can reach the edge of the hole. This is not a normal space."

"When the laws of time are distorted, space will certainly become disordered. If we keep going inside, even stranger things may appear..."

Li Luo pointed to the deep darkness and said seriously.

Mo Ling didn't think Li Luo was worrying too much. In his vision, the surroundings were indeed becoming increasingly strange.

The gravel gradually disappeared...

Not only that, Mo Ling also discovered that they were actually moving "diagonally downward".

Due to the lack of reference points in the darkness, Li Luo could not feel the subtle slope, but Mo Ling could see clearly that the hole was heading downwards and they were going deeper and deeper.

But even though we were going deeper, the sand became less and less, and the ground gradually turned into stone bricks like the pyramids.

These bricks originally covered only the area around the pyramid, but now extend far outside the pyramid.

Mo Ling discovered that there would be a certain "radiation area" under the pyramid, and these stone bricks would only be laid within the area. Now, these areas are expanding and gradually connecting into one.

Only a thin layer of sand remained on the stone bricks, and the buried pyramids were fully revealed. If you go further, you might not be able to see the sand anymore, but only a densely packed group of pyramids.

"Would it have been better if we had just walked in the other direction?"

An idea came to Mo Ling's mind: if he turned back now, could he still return to the original place?
Or, go to the other extreme?
……

"Let's go this way." After hesitating for a while, Li Luo decided to take the cube and walk in another direction to see if he could find a way out.

But not long after, she was stopped by Mo Ling.

"What's wrong?" Li Luo asked puzzledly.

After a while, an electronic screen was transmitted to the block. When Li Luo saw it, his brows furrowed instantly.

“Keep going down.”

These five simple words made Li Luo never dare to act rashly again.

"Can you explain it in detail?" Li Luo put the electronic screen back on the top of the cube, wanting Mo Ling to explain it in detail.

But Mo Ling did have some difficulty writing now, and he took a lot of effort to write the content more clearly.

"It's always down. Any direction, down."

Mo Ling discovered that no matter which direction Li Luo walked, there would be a "downward slope". Just as Li Luo had guessed, the space here was also disordered. Whether they were moving forward or backward, or circling in place, they were moving in the same direction.

"Just like time, it always moves backwards."

Space is also transformed into time...

Mo Ling found it difficult to explain this strange observation result, and could only hope that Li Luo would be able to figure it out on his own after seeing the content on the electronic screen.

Fortunately, Li Luo is very smart and the two of them have a good understanding of each other. After thinking for a while, Li Luo understood what Mo Ling meant.

She looked at the pyramids and offered a plausible explanation:

"We are not walking in a real 'space' now..."

"This is a passage of time, but for some reason, time cannot be observed by us, so it is presented to us in the form of space, becoming a sand hole that continues downwards."

"No matter which direction we go, we are moving in a predetermined direction, just like the passage of time, but now we are moving towards the 'past'. This may be caused by the deviation of the time law in the time zone, and the normal direction has been reversed."

"Normally, time has a slope, and objects in time will spontaneously roll from high points to low points, just like us now, we can only go down and not up, so the direction will be fixed."

"In the passage of time, the objects we see are superimposed on each other, just like the pyramids. These are their different states at different times. As we walk along the timeline, we will encounter the pyramids at every point in time, so they look like the 'same pyramid'."

Li Luo's explanation is more comprehensive than Mo Ling's, and it also reasonably explains various strange phenomena.

But this raises another problem...

"How to get out?"

Neither of them expected that the bottom of the time zone would be such a strange place:

A spatialized time channel, or a temporal one-way space.

When the laws of time deviate from each other, a "fusion zone" where the rules are completely disordered will appear.

Past experiences were of no use, and no one knew how to "escape time". Mo Ling and Li Luo certainly had never thought about this problem.

They now have no choice but to continue moving forward according to the predetermined "slope" and "direction".
