I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 784 Mural
The depiction of the messenger on the mural is very simple, with only a few strokes.

Compared with other exquisite contents, the image of the messenger appears very sloppy, and the image is completely different each time it appears.

Sometimes it looks like a randomly drawn ball of thread, and sometimes it is some simple triangle or circle, which is out of tune with the other carefully crafted contents in the mural.

It seems that the craftsman who painted this mural did not want to waste too much time and effort on this messenger, or he may have deliberately made the image so casual to express his contempt for it.

But the murals depicted the alienated traitors in great detail. After losing their hair, they became bald and their bodies became more hunched, like tailless mice curled up into balls, with swollen bellies and no heads. They looked quite weird.

The mural focuses on the traitors’ fear of darkness, with a special area showing their helplessness in the darkness:
The messenger sent them to find their original tribe in the darkness, but they dared not, nor did they dare to disobey the messenger's orders. They could only gather together and move forward timidly.

They were completely unaware of the dangers surrounding them, and they looked around fearfully with their weapons, completely losing their original ability to adapt to the darkness...

The mural does not seem to describe the reason why the messenger spread the mutation, but only describes what it did and the great harm its actions brought to the race.

At the end of the mural, a group of people scattered in the darkness built a pyramid and recorded the experiences of their race on the mural.

As for other ethnic groups, I don't know...

After reading the mural, Mo Ling fell into deep confusion.

The content of the mural is very concise, and the things it describes are not complicated, but there are too many unknowns hidden behind it.

What exactly is that messenger?
Why did this ethnic group build this pyramid?

Although the murals record a lot, they also omit many important things.

Due to the limitations of the communication medium, the mural looks lifelike and extremely detailed, but the content it carries is very limited, and most of the space is used to record the former prosperity of this race.

As for the disaster brought by the messenger, it was just glossed over and a lot was selectively ignored.

Perhaps the creator of this mural initially just wanted to record the former greatness of his own race.

It is indeed a pity that this dark civilization died in the womb.

Mo Ling developed a deep empathy for the race to which he belonged in his current form.

"And why is it such a coincidence? I just happened to become the same as this race? There are so many creatures in the darkness, why do I happen to look like this after being corroded by darkness?"

Could it be that after adaptability to darkness reaches its peak, one's appearance becomes fixed?

Mo Ling couldn't figure out the reason, and his thoughts became more and more confused.

Therefore, he had to call Li Luo to come and let Li Luo look at the mural, perhaps Li Luo would have a different opinion.

As soon as Li Luo saw the mural, he was deeply attracted by its content.

As she looked, she even took off her night vision goggles and took out her lighting equipment to illuminate the mural clearly.

In this place where time and space meet, there is no other danger, and the light will not attract any dangerous creatures.

With the help of the light from the lighting equipment, she was finally able to fully see the mural.

After looking at each area, Li Luo placed his hand on the strange messenger.

The messy lines, scribbled drawings, and other parts of the mural seem to have been created by different creators.

"This was added later." Li Luo looked at the messenger on the mural and said seriously.

She took out a knife and gently scraped off the paint used to draw the messenger.

"There is another layer underneath. It didn't look like this before. This mural originally recorded its appearance, but was later covered up by other creators, and the pigments used were completely different." Li Luo took the peeled pigment in his hand and squeezed it.

"The time is different too. It should be a long time..."

"When the pyramid was built, this mural should have been painted at the same time, because these reliefs and hollows were specially designed to match the mural, and so was this wall."

"But later, after a while, other people came and used other paints to distort the image on the mural, which led to the current situation..."

As Li Luo spoke, he tried to use a knife to remove the newly added paint to reveal the original appearance of the messenger.

But the paint adhered too well, and the original paint was scraped off with a knife, and the image of the messenger could not be seen clearly.

"no way."

Li Luo tried other places, but was still unable to remove the paint.

The murals in this temple have existed for a long time, and the pigments have long been completely stuck together, making it impossible to separate them manually.

Li Luo could only take out the electronic screen and record the mural completely.

After recording, she stood there thinking for a while, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind.

"follow me!"

She put her night vision goggles back on, quickly rushed to the entrance of the temple with the cube, and stood on the top of the pyramid looking into the distance.

In the distance, there are densely packed pyramids.

"You said, since no matter which way we go, we will move forward along the timeline, then as long as we keep walking, we will definitely reach the time before the mural was modified?"

“As long as we go to that time, we can see the unmodified murals!”

“Maybe we can even see the second creator who modified the mural!”

Li Luo's idea is indeed valid, but no one knows what unknown things will happen if they continue to move forward.

But the current situation can't get any worse.

The tree branch coordinate axis in the temple also seems to be related to the different time zones. On this time axis where nothing exists, only the pyramid exists. There must be some connection between the two.

If you want to continue to learn about these pyramids, there seems to be no other choice but to move forward.

After asking the cube, Li Luo decisively climbed down the pyramid and walked deeper...

The entire ground was covered with hard stone bricks. Huge shadows stood in the eternal night. They were everywhere. A lonely figure was constantly shuttling among them, followed by floating blocks.

On this deserted timeline, the standing pyramids are like scales, marking every moment that has ever existed.

Time passed quickly. Li Luo walked through one pyramid after another, and climbed up the temple from time to time to see if the murals inside had changed.

But apart from the fact that the murals became newer and newer, nothing seemed to have changed.

Li Luo also began to doubt his choice.

"Really... can we make it?"
