I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 566: Healed Big Eyes

"You said, it's called Big Eyes?"

"Yes."

Xi told Li Luo the origin of Big Eyes, and told Li Luo that he had cured it, and that Big Eyes might now have very important information.

After explaining to Li Luo, Xi turned around, stroked Big Eyes' head, and said gently: "Big Eyes, can you tell me what happened here? Why did you become like that?"

After hearing Xi's question, Big Eyes shrank his head in fear again, as if he was unwilling to recall what had happened.

"Where is Poker?" Xi asked.

Big Eyes lowered his head, looking very scared.

Seeing Big Eyes' reaction, Xi knew that asking like this would not yield an answer, so he could only keep coming up with hypotheses.

"Did Poker abandon you?"

"Or did he leave you here and go deeper into the maze?"

"Or, is he in danger?"

When he made the last guess, Xi saw his big eyes tremble noticeably.

"Poker is in danger? What danger?"

"Woo..." Big Eyes answered cautiously.

"Caught? Were you also brought here?" Xi asked.

"Woo~ Woo~" Big Eyes made a sound of grievance and peeked over Xi's body at the black rabbit that Li Luo was holding.

Xi turned around, looked at the black rabbit, and then looked at Big Eyes.

He understood that Poke and Big Eyes were caught in the maze by those black balls, but the rabbits obviously couldn't do such a thing, and they could only run away.

Xi pondered for a moment and had a guess: Could it be those giants?
"Were you captured by those giants?" Xi immediately asked Big Eyes.

After hearing this question, Big Eyes immediately shrank his body and trembled.

"Sure enough...it's those giants."

Xi turned around and asked Li Luo for confirmation: "What does the signal transmitted by the beacon mean?"

Li Luo was stunned for a moment, then replied, "It is said that there may be a kind of pollution on the Huasheng Islands, which will distort the character of doctors. Doctors will think that patients can never be cured, and then keep the patients and treat them until they feel they are cured..."

After hearing this answer, Xi asked Big Eyes again: "Who cured you? Was it another doctor?"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"No? Are those the giants?"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"No? Then who is it?" Xi was even more confused. It was neither the doctor nor the black ball aggregate. Could it be something else?
It seems that we can’t get anything out of Big Eyes now given its condition. We can only wait until its condition stabilizes a little before continuing to ask questions.

"Big Eyes, will you please follow me? I will take you to find your master." Xi gently touched Big Eyes' head and asked softly.

"Woo." Big Eyes rubbed Xi's hand and shrank to his side.

Xi patted it helplessly and said to Li Luo apologetically: "I didn't get anything out of it..."

"It doesn't matter." Li Luo glanced around: "If we go further in, we might find other clues."

"Ok."

Seeing that Big Eyes was still hiding behind him in fear, Xi said to it gently: "Big Eyes, don't be afraid. Just follow me and follow closely."

Hearing this, Big Eyes also hummed and agreed. "Let's go on."

Li Luo led the rabbit that was kicking its legs crazily and walked into a gap.

But Big Eyes was still very afraid of the rabbit and kept hiding behind Xi. It was obvious that he still had a deep shadow in his heart about those black ball polymers.

As Xi walked, he was also thinking about the purpose of those giants.

Was Big Eyes brought here just for that strange healing?
Why is there the power of medicine in this maze?
Where have the doctors gone?
Xi followed Li Luo through this maze of black walls. He always felt that there was some connection between them, but he could not find a breakthrough.

Xi was still thinking when Li Luo suddenly stopped in front of a passage.

"What's wrong?" Xi asked curiously.

Li Luo didn't say anything, but just looked at the rabbit he was holding. The rabbit was still kicking its legs and rushing forward, and then was pulled back by the rope that Xiao Zi had transformed into. It seemed that everything was normal.

but……

"We've been here before." Li Luo said with certainty.

"How do you know?" Xi asked puzzledly. He looked around. There were identical black walls and cracks everywhere. He couldn't tell whether he had been here before.

Moreover, he had left marks along the way, but now there are no marks here.

"I used to leave stones at every fork in the road as a marker, but there are none here. How do you know we've been here?"

Li Luo shook his head and took out the electronic screen from his pocket.

"Look, this is the route we took, it overlaps."

Xi leaned forward to take a look. There was a zigzag line drawn on the electronic screen. Although there was no map, Xi could still recognize part of it. This was the path they had just taken.

However, there are now several intersections in the trajectory, indicating that they have been to the same place before.

And now this position is also an intersection.

Xi was stunned. All the forks in the road were clearly marked, so why didn't he see any marks when he came to the same place?

"When did you find out?" Xi asked in surprise.

"Not long after entering the maze..." Li Luo explained, "I started recording my route right after entering the maze. I would take it out and look at it every once in a while, and then I found that we often passed through repeated places. Although these places looked completely different, they were indeed the same locations."

"At first I thought there was something wrong with the equipment, so I turned my head back." Li Luo pointed to the passage ahead and said, "This used to be a square, an empty square, but when I turned around, it changed and became a passage."

"follow me……"

Li Luo took Xi through the passage, walked through the gap, and came to a new square.

"There was no square here originally." Li Luo said, pointing to the route track on the electronic screen.

"Look, this is a very straight line, which means we just passed through a passage..."

Li Luo turned his head and said to Xi solemnly: "We have gone back a lot and passed many repeated places, but we have been circling in this area."

“The width of the road has not changed since we came to this area, which means we haven’t gone deeper.”

After hearing Li Luo's judgment, Xi was stunned. He had never thought that the scene in the maze would change. Then the mark he had just made would be useless.

"Where is this rabbit? Has it been leading us around in circles? Is this a trap set for us by those black ball aggregates, intending to make us lost in the maze?" Xi pointed at the rabbit and asked in confusion.

Li Luo shook his head: "No, the path it leads is correct, so we can find the entrance to the maze and enter the depths, but..."

"Now our speed of progress can no longer keep up with the speed at which the maze changes. Although we are moving forward, once the maze changes, the correct path will become a dead end, so the rabbit can only turn and head for the new correct path. However, before we reach the new path, the maze will change again."

"So, it will always lead us around in circles in the maze, always heading for the 'correct' path, but never reaching it..."
