I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 916: Sinking to the Seabed
Mo Ling licked his lips. The pickled mustard tubers brought back his memories of humanity and stopped him from continuing to sink in the vast universe.

"and many more!"

He looked at the departing tentacle and shouted loudly, trying to keep it, but the tentacle swam farther and farther away, leaving only a vague halo as it disappeared into the turbid deep sea.

Was it Martin? Or something else?
Why is there pickled mustard?
Mo Ling's heart was full of confusion. He wanted to chase after the tentacle, but he didn't dare to take a step, because he was afraid that his footsteps would crush the world on pixels. His light step might result in the destruction of countless universes.

In the dark sea, the earth sparkled with gem-like light, and looking far away, it turned into a vague halo, extending to a farther distance, with no end in sight.

Mo Ling was still thinking about how to leave here, when suddenly the colorful earth began to shake again.

Like an earthquake, Mo Ling was thrown off the ground and into the air.

The earth began to move.

Through the increasingly turbid sea water, it seems that you can see that the entire earth is tilted at an angle. Countless bubbles are rushing upward along the tilted earth, and the water flow is stirred into countless small whirlpools.

Mo Ling discovered that the tilted earth was actually starting to move farther and farther away from him, drifting away into the distance.

"Can the earth move?"

Being in the turbulence, Mo Ling was shaken upside down. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether it was the earth that was moving or himself. The reference system around him was completely chaotic. He only felt dizzy and even his perception of gravity was impaired.

When the colorful land was some distance away from Mo Ling, he finally discovered something strange: the land had a curve.

The light surface formed by the connection of those colored halos is curved, not flat...

"The earth has a shape!"

It seemed as if Mo Ling had seen the outline of the earth somewhere before.

The turbulence swept Mo Ling away, and he could only watch the colorful earth moving farther and farther away from him. He could no longer see the colorful pixels on the earth, but only an increasingly blurred halo. Those light spots of different colors mixed together in the distance and turned into twinkling stars, flickering as if sending some signal to Mo Ling.

Looking at those "stars", Mo Ling's vision became blurred. In order to focus, he could only constantly change the direction and distance of his vision to keep his body steady in the surging water.

Finally, when the halos were about to disappear, he saw clearly...

It turned out that it wasn't the earth, it was a huge shock beast!
It is the essence of dreams!
Countless tentacles swung at the edge of the "earth", raising a torrent of water into the sky. The stars on the colorful shock beast continued to emit brilliant light, turning into pixels to form a colorful body.

He was not standing on the seabed just now, but on the shock beast!
He was grabbed by the tentacles of Dream, put on his body, and then thrown down.

"But why do you want to throw me down here?"

Watching those colorful halos disappear into the deep sea, Mo Ling became more and more confused. He was dizzy from the turbulence and whirlpools. Countless questions piled up in his mind. These experiences beyond his cognition continued to impact his consciousness, making him completely lose the ability to think.

After being thrown out by the "earth", Mo Ling began to sink again.

Lying on his back, whirlpools swirled around him, bubbles passed over his body, and Mo Ling's thoughts drifted to the horizon.

"Where on earth have I been?"

"How deep is this sea?"

"..."

After not knowing how long he had been sinking, Mo Ling suddenly felt something hard hit on his back.

"Have we finally reached the bottom of the sea?"

He opened his eyes expectantly, wanting to take a look at his surroundings, but what he saw was a metal space that had expanded again...

It was empty, with everything gathered in a corner. He lay on the bed, staring blankly at the sky.

That ceiling... is so high.

Mo Ling sat up in a daze, wondering how he got back into the cube. Looking at the cube that was expanding again, he felt a sense of emptiness in his heart for some reason.

It's so big, what's the use?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, he realized that he was being a little pretentious.

When the cube was small, I thought it was too narrow. Now that it’s bigger, I think it’s too empty. It seems like I’m never satisfied…

"You were at the bottom of the sea just now, how come you're back now?"

Mo Ling's thoughts were a little confused at this time. He only remembered that he drank the black liquid and then fell into the sea. There were many strange creatures in the sea. He kept sinking and returned to the cube.

"It's like a dream for no reason."

Dream? Is this related to the giant shock beast we just saw?

Mo Ling rubbed his eyes and stood up in a daze.

He didn't know the current situation outside the cube yet, so he had to see where he was first...

As soon as he looked out, Mo Ling was stunned by the scene in front of him.

“Is this in a building?”

He seemed to be in an empty building. The facilities in this building looked more advanced than those in Dawn City... but something seemed wrong.

“It seems like this place has become a ruin.”

The surrounding high-tech buildings have turned into ruins, standing among the ruins, with the alloy inside exposed and glass fragments scattered all over the ground, but one can still see their former glory.

Objects inside the building were scattered all over the ground. They all seemed to have been used by humans. They lay quietly on the ruins, as if reminding Mo Ling that this place was once very prosperous.

However, now there is only silence and desolation here.

The surroundings were gray, filled with dust and smoke, and no sunlight could be seen.

Mo Ling didn't know whether there was sun in this place.

"If there's nothing on the fifth floor, there shouldn't be anything on the sixth floor either..."

Continuing to look outward, Mo Ling left the dilapidated building and came to the street.

“Are those cars?”

Mo Ling saw some shuttle-like vehicles, but they were all completely damaged and abandoned in place. The paint on the outside had fallen off, and the outer shells were rusted to varying degrees. There were even holes in some places due to rust, and some internal circuit boards were exposed.

The lighting along the street was also completely damaged, the wires inside were rotten beyond recognition and completely buried in black mud.

The road was also littered with broken glass fragments, and some parts of unknown devices were thrown randomly in the middle of the road.

Time seemed to have stopped, and there was dead silence.

"Why is there an abandoned human city here?"
