I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 852 Accident
Although these foods looked delicious and tempting, Mo Ling knew clearly that they had remained in this state for twenty years.

During these twenty years, they did not deteriorate, rot, or even drop in temperature.

Mo Ling observed carefully for a while and found that there was not even a speck of dust on the food.

Time seemed to have stopped for them.

Not only that, this freeze-frame occurs not only on the food, but also on the entire building.

"There is no dust in the whole room..."

Be it the food, the tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks, or the sundries moved to the corner, none of them were covered with dust. They all seemed to have remained at exactly seven o'clock in the evening twenty years ago, maintaining the same state as then.

Outside this building, time is still running, but inside this building, everything is frozen.

People come and go outside the window, and everything inside the window becomes an eternal and unchanging "scenery". As long as there are people watching, the scenery will never change.

The banquet is always about to begin, the food is always steaming hot, and the dust never settles, but only swirls in the air...

Mo Ling was watching all this from outside the window, and the weird feeling in her heart was growing stronger and stronger. The delicious roast chicken didn't seem so tempting anymore.

He now felt that the food on the table had a "plastic feel", just like those model cakes in a cake shop, which looked delicate and delicious but were actually filled with hollow fillers.

But Mo Ling observed these foods inside and out for a long time, but couldn't find out what their "fillers" were. They were exactly the same as real food, and there was no way to prove that they were just "models."

After walking around in this conference room for a while, Mo Ling didn't find any clues.

After all, this missing case has been an unsolved case for more than 20 years. Everything that needs to be investigated has long been completed. If there were any clues, they would have been discovered long ago. Apart from this strange house, it is basically impossible to leave any useful information.

"Detective operation failed."

Mo Ling in the cube sighed in frustration. This profession was still not suitable for him.

"Don't look at it."

After giving up on becoming a detective, Mo Ling planned to leave the room, but at this moment, he heard a noisy sound coming from outside the room...

"what happened?"

……

Outside the house, Li Luo and the old man were looking at the vigilante troops that had broken into the institute in confusion.

There were seven robots in total, surrounding them tightly and approaching them step by step.

Not long ago, these robots broke open the door of the research institute and came to their current location in a brutal manner.

"You have to register when you come in. No matter you are human or machine, you have to register..." The old man shouted to the robots with some lack of confidence, but the machines ignored what he said and continued to approach the two men.

Seeing this, Li Luo directly stopped in front of the old man and put his hand on the bracelet.

The machines were getting closer and closer, and only then did Li Luo realize that there was something wrong with the appearance of this team of robots that broke into the research institute.

There are some tiny cracks on them.

A brilliantly colored gas was floating out of the crack.

"Dream energy?!"

A word immediately popped up in Li Luo's mind.

At the same time, she had a bad feeling.

"No way, there won't be any problem with Meng Qi at this time, right?"

What do these robots want to do by breaking into the research institute?
Under the colorful neon lights, the colored gases were very inconspicuous. If it weren't for the black armor of the Terrorist Forces, they would not be noticed at all.

The movement trajectories of the colored gases were also somewhat strange. The colored light patterns inside seemed to be constantly shrinking, and the edges kept rippling with shaking ripples, drilling into the cracks. At the same time, the gases were becoming more and more condensed, and the movement trajectories were becoming more and more erratic. The most concentrated places had completely replaced the air, like a color pigment that had been spilled and became a mess. Various colors piled together, constantly twisting and sinking inward.

Looking at the dented area, Li Luo actually felt dizzy. She quickly looked away and stopped looking at the crack on the robot.

But she also became more and more certain that the escaping gas was dream gas.

"Is it the unstable dream energy that escaped?"

Are these robots being driven by dream energy?

Li Luo did not dare to be careless. She stopped the old man and slowly backed away while being vigilant.

"You have to register! You can't come in without registration. The research institute is an independent organization and is not under the jurisdiction of the guards. For more than 20 years, when the guards come in to investigate a case, they have to wait for someone to open the door. Even robots have to follow the rules. You can't do this..."

The old man behind him was still trying to reason with these robots, but he got no response at all.

Not only that, as they got closer, the cracks in the armor seemed to grow bigger and bigger, and thick colorful gas came out of the cracks, gradually covering the black armor.

This group of hideous robots seemed to be painted with a layer of gorgeous colorful paint, reflecting a distorted halo.

Seeing this scene, no matter how dumb one is, one would know that the Tiz troops were already very abnormal. The old man stopped talking, but took out an old-fashioned walkie-talkie from his coat, as if he wanted to notify someone.

But only noise came from the intercom. After trying for a while, the old man put the intercom back with trembling hands.

"Young man, go ahead. You must have some tricks to come to Dream City at such a young age. These robots are coming for the research institute and will not care about you."

The old man stopped and said to Li Luo in front of him.

"This is Dream City. Once they target us, where can we escape to?" Li Luo said softly. She clearly felt that these robots would not let anyone go...

The old man also felt this and sighed.

"I can buy you some time. Although I am old, I still have some skills."

He looked past Li Luo and towards the increasingly bizarre robots.

"I knew these new things would have problems. New technologies, new products, new regulations... none of them are reliable. The guards were doing a good job, but they had to be replaced with these crappy machines! Just like the surveillance, they are unreliable, unreliable."

As the old man muttered, he pulled up his sleeves, revealing the old mechanical watch.

"What are you doing?" Li Luo looked at the old man in confusion.

"Young man, stand behind me!"

While shouting at Li Luo, he hammered the mechanical watch hard with his other hand.

At the moment the hammer struck, a white light burst out from the mechanical watch. The strong wind messed up the old man's neat white hair and even caused the approaching robots to stop temporarily.

“Click…click…”

Li Luo seemed to hear the sound of gears turning, or the sound of pointers moving, but under the dazzling white light, she could no longer see what was happening to the old man.

The white light continued to spread, pushing the neon lights in the research institute aside.

Li Luo also quickly covered his face with his arms and hid behind the old man...

It was not until a while later, when the strong wind dissipated and the white light in front of her eyes disappeared, that she slowly opened her eyes.

Only then did she realize that there was a row of white shadows standing next to the old man. Those shadows were fully armed and confronting the strange robots in front of them. Their momentum was even not inferior to them.

Standing behind these phantoms, Li Luo immediately saw the words printed on their clothes:
"Dream City Guard."
