I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 640 The Backside of Light
That mirror was fixed in Mo Ling's mind. No matter what he thought of, the mirror always existed.

Moreover, this mirror can clearly reflect imagined images. In a state of lack of perception, the mirror makes all fleeting thoughts extremely bright.

"Mirror?" Mo Ling was still a little unresponsive.

He didn't expect that his teleportation could be effective in this situation.

He walked up to it blankly and stood in front of the mirror.

The light of thought reflected in the mind, shone on Mo Ling's self, and was reflected in the mirror.

On the other side of the light, his appearance was clearly displayed in the mirror.

It was a metal cube, extremely smooth.

The dusty thoughts broke through again, and Mo Ling's turbid thoughts were directly pierced by the picture in the mirror. The reflected metallic light continued to refract in the space of thoughts, and finally filled the entire space.

“So, this is what I look like.”

The shackles of the self were also cut by the sharp metal light, and all confusion disappeared in an instant.

At this moment, Mo Ling finally understood the riddle of the bubble eyeball.

"The other side of the light, is it me in the mirror?"

When light shines on a mirror, isn't the direction it's reflected in the back direction?
Mo Ling was also speechless at this time.

"Why didn't it just tell me and let me look at myself in the mirror?"

It suddenly occurred to him that after being created by the vines, those eyeballs seemed to have been floating in the air forever, and they might have never seen any mirrors, so they used the "back side of light" to indicate the existence of mirrors.

Thinking of this, Mo Ling felt much better.

Now, he still needs to take a closer look at the function of this mirror.

Turning the mirror in one direction, Mo Ling glanced around the block. There seemed to be something in the shadow of the metallic light.

However, after Mo Ling saw the scene around the cube, he was completely stunned.

"Why are you here?"

Colorful books are neatly arranged on the bookshelves, which extend high into the invisible sky, and the cube is surrounded by these bookshelves.

Mo Ling is also very familiar with this place.

"This is... the library of the Eternal Thirst."

That’s right, this place is the library that Mo Ling had visited before.

"Is it the Eternal Thirst that is causing trouble again? Aren't they dead?"

Mo Ling quickly checked through the mirror and discovered that the bookshelves here were covered with a thick layer of dust, as if no one had cleaned them for a long time.

Changing the direction of the mirror, Mo Ling looked at the reading table in the center of the library.

"If the Eternal Thirst is still here, he should be reading a book there..."

However, the chair next to the reading table was still empty.

"The ever-thirsty one is not there."

Although there was no trace of the Eternal Thirst here, Mo Ling still found some strange things.

"This table is wiped so clean..."

It seemed as if someone cleaned it regularly. Not only that, the chairs were also neatly placed next to the reading table, and there was no dust on them either.

Only one of the seats was pulled out, as if someone had sat on it. Strangely, there were some black marks on the seat, not sure if it was stains or something else.

There were several open books on the table, corresponding to the only seat with an open chair. It seemed that someone had just read a book here and had left temporarily.

Mo Ling came closer curiously and looked at the sides of the books.

When Mo Ling saw the title of the book for the first time, he was stunned.

"The Adventurous Fingerbug."

“The Glory of the Earfly.” “Smell Solidification.”

……

"Why does it feel so familiar?"

Mo Ling glanced at the contents on the pages and found that these were actually popular science books introducing organisms. Each book was related to an organism that he had personally experienced.

Refers to insects, ear flies, and bee wasps...

"Who took these books out of the bookshelf? Why are they the ones I've experienced?"

The more Mo Ling thought about it, the weirder it seemed.

He looked at the contents of the book and felt both familiar and awkward.

Not only that, there were the same black stains on the pages of the books as on the seats, as if someone had accidentally soiled the books while reading.

Just as he was wondering, the bookshelf in the mirror suddenly shook. Mo Ling quickly pointed the mirror at the bookshelf, wanting to see what happened, but saw a blurry black shadow appear on the bookshelf.

That black shadow was actually in the shape of a human!

The black shadow twisted and drilled out of the bookshelf, and Mo Ling found that it was holding a book in its hand.

It walked slowly from the bookshelf to the pulled-out chair and sat down steadily.

“Where the Eyes Cannot Reach.”

The shadow spread out the book and began to read its contents.

Mo Ling also quickly looked at the book.

As expected, this book is about the knowledge of a race called Bubble Eyeballs, and the densely packed text introduces everything about this race.

Powerful eyesight, able to perceive almost all frequencies of light, able to see the molecules in the air, and able to see the traces left by passing light.

Even, one can see into the past and see the essence of things from the changes in light.

However, such powerful eyesight is coupled with a body that is easily broken at the slightest touch.

Their bubble-like bodies can even be blown apart by the wind...

"They observe everything but cannot interfere. Even if a thin leaf blocks their view, they cannot move it away."

Because of their fragile bodies, they cannot reach invisible places and can only live in mystery all day long.

That's why this race is full of riddles.

"The more I see, the more I realize my own weakness and the limitations of my vision, and the more... I feel desperate."

The book's assessment of the bubble-eyed race is quite pertinent:

Strong perception, fragile body, not worth mentioning.

In that vast ocean of books, this may be the only book that contains knowledge about the bubble-eyed race.

In the bizarre abyss, this creature is just an inconspicuous one among the countless creatures.

"Not worth mentioning."

With just a few strokes, the positioning of this race was determined.

Finger bugs, ear flies, and bee wasps... are all the same, but they are all insignificant ants. Mo Ling has experienced their weakness, and understands the despair of not being able to break through limitations no matter how hard one tries.

After reading the book about bubble eyeballs, the strange black shadow sat on the chair and pondered for a long time.

Finally, it spread out the book and placed it on the table like the other books, then slowly stood up and prepared to walk towards the bookshelf again.

However, just as it stood up, it was suddenly dazzled by a flash of metallic light.

The black shadow instantly became alert, turned its dark head and looked in the direction of Mo Ling's mirror.

"Oops, I was discovered."
