I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 674 Visitors to the Room
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and there was a strange dullness as they stepped on the hollow pipe.

Li Luo held his breath and listened carefully to the dull footsteps.

In the quiet room 0122, the only sounds were the collision of boots and pipes and Li Luo's heartbeat.

"Da da da……"

The sound was getting closer and closer. The pace was not fast, but very steady.

Soon, a figure stopped at the door of the room.

Through the dim light, Li Luo could see the man's appearance clearly. He was wearing a standard cloak for the pipeline fortress. It looked like it had not been washed for a long time and was covered with dust. It seemed that because he had to move forward in the low pipeline corridor, the man had a hunched back and looked like a staggering old man.

But when the visitor took off the hood of his cloak, Li Luo could see clearly that under the cloak was actually a young man with a decadent face. When he walked to the door, he was stuck on the steps and staggered against the door.

He was breathing heavily and seemed very weak, which was totally inconsistent with his steady steps just now. Holding the door, the young man looked at the hanging cube in the room, and was stunned for a moment before noticing Li Luo leaning against the side.

"Little girl, it's very dangerous here, leave as soon as possible."

The young man was obviously not much older than Li Luo, but when he spoke he sounded old-fashioned and his voice carried a sense of vicissitudes that was not appropriate for someone of his age.

The hoarse voice made Li Luo a little dazed. After she came to her senses, she asked the young man, "Who are you?"

Hearing Li Luo's question, the young man slowly took out a crumpled ID from his cloak: "Fortress Guard, Liu Ying."

There was indeed a photo of the young man on the ID card, but the words were a little blurry. Li Luo looked at it for a while with half belief and half doubt, then watched the young man put the ID card back.

"You said it's dangerous here?"

"Yes, Residential Area No. 0 has been abandoned. The pipeline structure here has become very fragile after the renovation and sometimes collapses. Some people have mistakenly entered here before and got injured, so we often patrol here..." The young man who called himself "Liu Ying" explained lightly.

"Leave early, little girl, there are no treasures here." The young man still looked very old-fashioned.

"I'm not here to look for any treasure. I'm just here to find the origin of this relic." Li Luo took out a pain-relieving pill from his pocket.

Unexpectedly, the young man froze when he saw the pain-reducing pills, and then suddenly rushed to Li Luo and tried to grab the tablets, but Li Luo was quick-witted and took the tablets back.

"What do you want to do?" Seeing the young man's reaction, Li Luo retreated to the other side of the room vigilantly.

"Nothing...nothing. I recognize this relic." The young man said hesitantly, and the conscientious look he had just had suddenly disappeared.

"you know?"

"Yes, I know. This is a relic of a friend of mine. After he died, I donated it to the relic library. That friend's birthday is January 0122, so I wrote when I donated it. Oh, and it happens to be the number of this room... I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that I could see this relic again in this room. Maybe it's destined..."

As the young man spoke, he stared blankly at the pain-reducing pill in Li Luo's hand.

There was no greed in that look, only deep longing.

"I was a little excited just now, sorry." He said apologetically.

When Li Luo heard the young man say "0122", her guard relaxed a lot, but she still had some doubts in her heart.

"Besides 0122, what else did you write?" she asked. The young man looked at the pain tablet and answered without thinking, "Authority. I also wrote the word authority."

"why?"

"Because my friend is called Liu Quanli..." the young man replied helplessly, "He always hoped that he could save more people. I donated this relic to fulfill his last wish."

"Quanli, 0122... I wrote these down just to commemorate him. Liu Quanli, born on January nd. Just his name and birthday, that's all."

As he spoke, the young man's tone became increasingly desolate, as if he was thinking about things in the past.

After hearing the young man's explanation, Li Luo's tone softened a lot: "Is that all?"

"Yes, that's it..."

Li Luo looked at the decadent young man, while the young man stared blankly at the board of pills. The two stood in the room in silence for a long time.

"After I used this relic, I kept having the same dream..." After hesitating for a moment, Li Luo decided to tell the young man about his experience.

After listening to Li Luo's experience, the young man sighed: "I didn't expect that after so many years, his obsession is still so deep that it can even affect the next user."

"Obsession? Those dreams are his obsession?" Li Luo was a little surprised.

"Yes, obsession. Actually, this is also related to the characteristics of the pain-relieving pill..." The young man thought for a moment and explained, "In fact, obsession is also a kind of pain, spiritual pain... He used the pain-relieving pill before he died, and the spiritual pain happened to be preserved. Because of your use, it was transferred to you, so you had that dream and felt his obsession."

"Can obsessions be transferred?" Li Luo was very surprised after listening to the young man's explanation. She didn't expect that the pain-transferring pills could also work on the mind. When she was in the relic library before, the staff member didn't mention this to her.

"Are you familiar with this relic?" Li Luo asked.

"Of course, I carried this relic all the way down from the first floor to the fourth floor of the abyss, from Dawn City to the Pipeline Fortress, until it was no longer of much use to me, and then I donated it. To be honest, I didn't make full use of it, so I have always wanted to donate it to someone in need."

The young man pointed at the pain-reducing tablet in Li Luo's hand and said sincerely, "When I used this relic, I also had the same dream, but the content of the dream was very vague and I didn't dream it so frequently. Maybe this relic has never acknowledged me."

"Then why did it choose me?" Li Luo asked puzzledly.

"Uh..." Hearing Li Luo's question, the young man suddenly hesitated. He opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but he swallowed his words halfway, as if he was considering the appropriate wording.

"Because you are related to his obsession."

"Me?" Li Luo was stunned. She couldn't figure out what the relationship was between herself and the obsession of this former user.

The young man hesitated for a moment, but decided to make things clear...

"The dream you've been having is actually his experience before his death. He didn't want to die, so the torment and pain in his heart were recorded on the pain film."

"The reason why it's so painful is because he wants to go back and see someone..."

"Someone who means a lot to him."
