I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 990 Things are different and people are different.

"How can we get Xiaobai out?"

Xiaobai's master asked humbly.

"Give up." The staff member's firm words wiped out his last glimmer of hope: "You can't change this."

After saying that, the staff member left without looking back, leaving Xiaobai's owner alone in the office.

Xiaobai's master clenched his fists, stood there for a long time, and finally could only sigh helplessly.

His fists slowly unclenched and he glanced in the direction of the laboratory.

"I will definitely get you out."

After saying this, he left the surveillance range.

"What is he doing?" Xiaobai hurriedly continued to search.

Soon, it found its owner's trace again.

It turned out that he left the institution and returned home.

The technology of relics is developing rapidly, and his family has also caught up with it and become stronger and stronger. He asked his family to come forward and take back his relics, but the answer he got in return was this:
"When the family needed you, you were playing badly. Now that you're back, you want them to help you. You're even rejecting official favors. How dare you be so shameless? The family has been building up relationships for so long, not for you to use them willfully. Now that you're back, do your job well and don't think too much about it. Forget about the relic. Think of it as a favor owed to you by the authorities."

"You should be more mature. Our family doesn't expect you to be successful. We just hope you don't get into trouble and live a down-to-earth life. We don't ask much of you, do we? If you really can't do anything, just stay home, take care of the elders, and make your family happy. Isn't that good?"

"Everyone can find something they are good at. You are definitely not useless. Calm down and think about it carefully..."

The elders in the family united as one and had the same attitude towards him:

"Want to help at home? Impossible."

"When you come back, stay well and don't cause trouble."

He has other brothers and sisters in his family. The elders have treated him, a "waste", so seriously, which is already the most they can do. He also knows that he does not have the face to rely on the power of his family. After understanding his family's attitude, he understands that it is meaningless to fight for it anymore. In the end, he can only rely on himself for this matter.

He was thinking about what he should do, and as he was thinking, he thought of those big shots who visited the relics management agency. Even the leaders of the agency had to greet them with a smile and bow down to them when they saw those big shots.

"If I were a big shot like that, people would definitely listen to me..."

He attributed his failure to his lack of "voice". The staff at the experimental base were unwilling to pay attention to him, and everyone in the family was unwilling to consider his opinions. They all ignored his ideas. No matter what he said, it would not cause any waves in everyone's hearts.

People's words are of little importance, all because his status is too low.

“I have to improve my status.”

But how can we improve our status quickly?

Whether it is a career in politics or business, it takes too long, and he does not have the talent in this area. By the time he really gains the right to speak, it will be too late. There is also a great possibility that he will be stuck at a certain level and will never be able to move up.

After thinking about it, he only thought of one solution -

Become a hunter.

Because of the importance of relics, the status of hunters in society continues to improve. Those powerful relics can not only bring power to hunters, but also bring them fame.

Some famous hunters even have a higher status than some big shots.

This is an affirmation of their dedication and also the trend of society as a whole.

After thinking of a solution, he did not hesitate and directly signed up for the hunter qualification screening. After a period of training, he successfully passed the test and obtained the qualification to explore the abyss.

He ran towards the abyss without stopping. Whether it was due to talent or luck, he had a smooth journey, as if he was playing a game, passing one level after another easily... one level, two levels, three levels... it was still not enough.

Four floors, five floors...

Relying on the will to "save Xiaobai", he rushed to the fifth level of the abyss.

"That should be enough. Hunters who can reach the fifth floor are already rare. I have the final say now, so I'm sure I can have a say..."

However, what he didn't know was that during the time he had been in the abyss, there were frequent good news from humans above the abyss, and Xiaobai was also deeply tied to the fate of mankind, becoming a new direction of development.

What he didn't know was that Xiaobai had gradually forgotten "freedom", "fresh air" and "cat food", and was infected by human will and became a part of history.

What he didn't know was that once he reached the fifth floor, he could never go back. The abyss blocked everything below, and he had become a nail that humans had driven into the abyss, and it could not be pulled out.

What he didn't know was that Xiaobai was so immersed in the joy of the grand narrative that he had temporarily forgotten his existence.

After accidentally learning that he couldn't leave the abyss, the first thing he thought of was that he couldn't save Xiaobai.

"I'm sorry, Xiaobai, I didn't keep my promise..."

The things you have been insisting on, you still cannot do in the end.

His will was instantly shattered, just like a force that had been expanding for a long time suddenly dissipated. It was this force that had kept him going to the fifth level of the abyss. Without this force, he would be nothing more than a lonely ghost who had accomplished nothing...

The last record about him was that he disappeared into the eternal night in a daze, never to be seen again.

Maybe he was looking for a way to escape from the abyss, or maybe he felt desperate and wanted to rekindle his fighting spirit.

But in the end, he disappeared.

Xiaobai’s tracing could only go so far, and there was no further trace.

Things have changed, things have gone against our wishes...

When Xiaobai learned all this, the space, which had been extremely stable until now, trembled slightly. Instruments all over the world sounded alarms. Countless humans were facing a great enemy and ran around looking for the cause of the tremor. They would never have thought that the root of all this was an ordinary human being.

……

"Later, humans realized that it was dangerous to rely on a relic with self-awareness for the future. They knew my importance and realized my instability during that tremor."

"They came up with a plan to try to dissolve my consciousness and turn me into a more stable being."

"Humans are suspicious of the existence of anything 'not of our kind'. This is inscribed in their genes. As long as my consciousness is still there, they will feel like there is a sword of Damocles hanging over their heads."

"During the dissolution operation, I followed their wishes and let them dissolve my consciousness because I didn't want to continue living. However, my consciousness didn't seem to be dissipated so easily."

"My new consciousness appeared in the space in an instant, and I regained control of everything."

"I just realized that my consciousness is immortal. As long as this space exists, I will always be here."

"In order to prevent humans from continuing to be wary of me, I hid my consciousness and continued to expand outward, moving beyond the Earth to see the endless starry sky."

"Besides raising cats, my owner's favorite thing is to stand in front of the window at night and look at the dazzling stars through a telescope."

"Now that he's gone, all I can do is help him go to that star and have a look."

“Nothing has changed on the star.”

“It’s just that we have changed…”
