I'm trapped in a cube

The fog outside the airship completely obscured everyone's vision, but Mo Ling could see it clearly.

Those objects floating in the circulation were not rocks or something like that.

Mo Ling observed for a long time before he dared to confirm that it was some kind of soft object like jelly.

The inside of these soft objects was even more peculiar, wrapped with some particularly strange objects.

These objects were not complete, they were combined together incompletely, just like objects in the game that were pierced through the mold:

Leaves growing on sand and gravel.

Tongue wrapped in a shell.

Burning green water droplets.

Colorful clouds.

…

When he saw these objects, Mo Ling was stunned. He almost thought that there was something wrong with his vision.

"Giant jelly, burning green water, rainbow clouds... What the hell are these?"

These weird objects seemed to be forcibly blended together, very inconsistent. Not only that, Mo Ling also found that these objects would disappear from time to time, and new objects would appear soon.

The newly appeared objects were also full of incoordination. These abstract objects that would never appear in nature kept appearing and disappearing, repeating over and over again, as if something was deliberately creating them.

As time went on, Mo Ling found that there were more and more of these huge soft objects around the airship, and some of them almost hit the airship, but they were pushed away by a huge force just before they hit the airship, as if the airship and them would repel each other.

The airship was also pushed gently, but there was almost no turbulence.

The huge soft object that flashed by was also seen by the survey team members in the airship, but they seemed to be accustomed to it and seemed to be very familiar with it.

"We seem to have entered the turbulent zone..."

"Yes, so fast, it seems that we are very close to the circulation node, and we may be captured by the monitoring station within a day."

"Those things appear more and more frequently, I don't know what hidden dangers there will be..." A team member said worriedly.

"Don't worry about it. They won't come into contact with real objects. They will dissipate after a while."

"I always feel that the abyss has become more and more chaotic recently, and it seems that the original balance is being broken."

"It's an illusion. You must have experienced too many things recently..."

...

In the pod, the team members who had not yet rested were communicating in a low voice. They talked about the recent turmoil in the fourth layer of the abyss from the soft objects that appeared from time to time outside the window.

Mo Ling also slowly understood what the soft jelly was.

The team members called the jelly in various ways. Some called them "abyss sediments", some called them "synchronization residues", and some directly called them "air and sea garbage".

These suddenly appearing jellies and the strange objects in them are abnormal splicing caused by synchronization errors.

In the abyss, spontaneous synchronization occurs every moment. Some objects fall from the upper layer to the lower layer, and some objects float up from the lower layer. These objects are like sediments in the ocean. They will aggregate together with the changes in synchronization density, and finally form this polymer in the fourth layer of the air sea.

Because of the synchronization problem, there is a special repulsive force between them and real objects, just like the north and south poles of a magnet, which cannot touch each other at all.

These sediments are like garbage floating on the sky and sea, suddenly appearing, and disappearing due to the collapse of synchronization, falling into the synchronization crack.

Normally, these objects with wrong synchronization cannot be observed by humans, because the light they emit cannot be captured by the human eye.

At different speeds and frequencies, humans should see a blurry light and shadow, or not see it at all.

Therefore, some people speculate that these residues do not actually exist in reality, but in the cracks, but the unstable synchronization rate of the sky and sea fault causes their projections to appear briefly, and what is really seen is not their body, but some kind of wrong refraction, but this statement has not been confirmed.

What is certain is that these residues are not harmful to airships.

After entering the turbulent zone, more and more of these strange objects appeared, huge shadows kept passing by the window, and the team members in the pod became more and more nervous.

Mo Ling also found something even weirder in those sediments.

"Is that... a creature?"

In the huge and soft jelly, there were some slowly wriggling long strips of objects, with various biological limbs spliced ​​together on them.

Insect arthropods, bird wings, fish scales... and even parts similar to human limbs.

These long creatures wriggled aimlessly in the jelly, constantly touching each object, as if they were looking for something.

After careful observation, through the appearance that had completely lost its original appearance, Mo Ling finally determined...that it was some kind of vine.

"What are they looking for?"

Those vines stretched out from nowhere, and seemed to have some way of identifying objects. After gently touching them, they would turn to other objects.

The efficiency of their search was very low, and some objects disappeared before they could even be touched.

But even with such a Buddhist search, they really found the right object.

A vine wriggled and touched a pair of horns flowing with yellow mucus.

After touching the horns, the vines quickly wrapped around them, wrapping the horns with their weird body.

After a while, the yellow mucus on the horns slowly faded away, and the roots of the horns were firmly attached to the vines. Just like other spliced ​​objects in the jelly, the pair of incomplete horns directly connected with the vines. Spliced, completely integrated.

In this way, the horns became part of the vine's body.

After the vines started to squirm again, the horns showed no signs of disappearing, as if they were completely stabilized by the vines.

Wearing the horns, the vine started a new round of searching, looking for new "parts" in the sediment that kept appearing.

Looking at those squirming vines, Mo Ling thought of a kind of creature-hermit crab.

What the vines seem to be looking for all the time are the limbs left by other creatures.

They clean those limbs and put them on themselves, just like hermit crabs collect snail shells, clean the snail shells, and then get into the snail shells...

"Is this a creature unique to the fourth layer of the abyss?"

Mo Ling also didn't expect that there would be creatures that could make use of the residue left by these synchronizations.

In almost all jelly, Mo Ling found traces of these vines. Their number was not large, but they were distributed very evenly. They all had their own "territory" and were responsible for the residue in a certain area.

These vines also grow in all kinds of weird ways. Some vines have too many spliced ​​objects, and their original appearance can no longer be seen clearly. The slender vines are wrapped in miscellaneous spliced ​​objects, and it is even difficult to squirm, swinging awkwardly in the jelly. .

Mo Ling listened carefully to the conversation of the investigation team members, trying to get information about these vine creatures from them.

However, they never talked about this. It seemed that they had not discovered the existence of this kind of creature at all. They only talked about those weird splicing objects.

Therefore, Mo Ling made a bold guess in his mind:

"Didn't they discover these vines?"
