I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 310 The reason why we must sleep

A burst of noisy sounds made Mo Ling gradually regain consciousness.

"I want to wake up! There is danger!"

Mo Ling instantly sat up from the bed and controlled the cube to fly into the air.

Then it hit the ceiling.

With a "boom" sound, the block shook the ceiling.

"what happened?"

Li Luo on the side saw such a big movement and asked in surprise: "What happened so early in the morning?"

She quickly came to the side of the falling block, looked at the bumped area of ​​the block with concern, and wiped off the dust with a paper towel.

"Did you not sleep well and have nightmares?" Li Luo asked softly.

Everyone just slept, as if the white light was really just to make people sleep peacefully.

Li Luo was standing aside, looking at Cube with concern, a look of worry on his face.

He just felt strange at this time.

"nothing."

Mo Ling answered on the electronic screen.

……

The field of vision carefully spreads.

Robots shuttle among the crowd. They line up and perform their duties in an orderly manner.

Instead, it made him feel like he was making a fuss.

Mo Ling had not yet come to his senses at this time.

People were very energetic, radiant, and chatting excitedly. There were also shouts from the shops on the street.

everything is normal.

He didn't have any nightmares. Instead, he slept very peacefully. After falling into sleep, he didn't wake up again and again.

The sun shines in from the round window and shines on the pure white bed. The house is bustling with people outside, and the noisy sound is coming from outside.

"Good morning."

However, when I woke up again, it was already morning.

"Nothing really happened..."

This sleep was extremely comfortable. Mo Ling even felt that all his fatigue was eliminated by this sleep. The struggle and panic before going to bed also disappeared after one sleep.

Seeing that Li Luo was fine, Mo Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

The hotel owner also opened the door and was cleaning the door with a broom, smiling and greeting every passerby who passed by the hotel.

"Good morning."

But Mo Ling was still very confused.

"Did you feel uncontrollable sleepiness before going to bed last night?" Mo Ling asked.

"Yes, I think I'm too tired." Li Luo nodded.

"Did you feel sleepy after those lights came on?"

Seeing Mo Ling's question, Li Luo thought for a long time and frowned.

"It seems so. Those lights did make me a little dizzy. I thought it was just some kind of lighting at first. According to you, this light can indeed cause people to feel sleepy. It seems that there are many secrets on this island. "

Li Luo quickly understood what Mo Ling meant, and her expression became solemn.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"It's me, the guest." The voice of the hotel owner came from outside the door. Li Luo quickly opened the door.

"what happened?"

The boss outside the door looked inside the room and said strangely: "I was sweeping the floor just now when I seemed to hear a noise. Did something happen here?"

"You must have heard wrong." Li Luo immediately denied.

"Okay." The boss nodded and looked at Li Luo: "Did you sleep quite comfortably last night?"

"Yes, I fell asleep very early and slept soundly."

The hotel owner smiled: "It's those lights, the ones you asked me yesterday if you could turn them off."

"Lights?" Li Luo looked surprised. He didn't expect the hotel owner to know the function of these lights.

"Yes, lights. The lights on this island have such a function, so people on the island will go to bed early and stay energetic. No one will stay outside at night. If the lights are on, they might Sleeping on the street."

Having said this, the innkeeper laughed softly.

"What will happen if you sleep on the street?" Li Luo asked.

"If the night watchman doesn't find it, he will sleep all night and get up again the next day. However, the night watchman will most likely find it and usually send it directly to the hotel. I often take in those who don't have time to go home. "

"It's so troublesome..." Li Luo was very puzzled: "Then why do we need to set up this kind of hypnotic light? Isn't it very dangerous? What if someone accidentally sleeps in a dangerous place."

The hotel owner heard Li Luo's question and shook his head: "No, the night watchman will protect everyone's safety. This is their duty. Those lights are just for people to sleep peacefully, nothing more."

"But aren't these lights redundant?" Li Luo asked: "Apart from allowing people to sleep regularly, they have no effect."

"That's not the case. Sleeping regularly is actually to better perform your identity." The boss explained.

"If you don't get a good night's rest, it will affect your work during the day, won't it?"

"Yes..." Li Luo nodded.

The boss continued: "One more thing, many identities on Paradise Island can only appear at night, such as night watchmen, lighthouse managers, lamp repairers, stargazers, night runners..."

"If the identities that work during the day do not sleep, it will crowd out their activity space. Think about it, if Paradise Island becomes a 'city that never sleeps' like Auroville, will there still be room for these identities to survive?"

"What should the night watchman keep watch for? Night runners will also face crowded crowds, lamp repairers dare not extinguish the lights, and stargazers cannot calm down..."

“The day has the identity of day, and the night has the identity of night.”

"Identity is the most important thing on Paradise Island. If you lose your identity, you lose its meaning. We fall asleep deeply to protect the meaning of other people's existence."

The hotel owner looked at Li Luo and said very seriously.

There was still a smile on her face, and the early morning sunlight shone on her face, giving her a different kind of intimacy. The stiff feeling from last night seemed to have disappeared.

After hearing the explanation, Li Luo could only nodded blankly.

"So we have to go to sleep?"

"Yes, you belong to the day too, fire thief, and the night has nothing to do with you."

"Then what if I belong to the night?" Li Luo asked.

"You will be forced to wake up by that kind of light. This is the rule of Paradise Island. The 'researcher' should have told you that this is the boundary of identity, just like day and night. No one can confuse it."

Having said this, the boss paused.

"As soon as I mentioned the researcher, she came here. She should be here to see you. I'll go and receive her. Wait a moment."

After saying that, the hotel owner walked towards the winding corridor, leaving only Li Luo with a confused look on his face.

She stood there, looking like she hadn't fully accepted what the innkeeper said.

Unexpectedly, after going around and around, I came back to "identity".

"It's another rule..."

Li Luo looked at Cube and said helplessly.
