I'm trapped in a cube

The figure in the mist was still wriggling.

The roots reflecting the red light stirred the clouds from time to time, but did not destroy the structure of the clouds. Instead, they made the clouds more compact.

The mist that lingered over the Tianjin Mountain Range for a long time seemed to be the work of the vine.

The entire Tianjin Mountain world was messed up by it, the ecology collapsed, and all living things were devastated...

The scary thing is that if what the black shadow said is true, the vine may still be doing the same thing in other worlds. No one stopped it, and the impact is getting bigger and bigger.

The black shadow's words were very sincere. Since knowing that Mo Ling came from human society, he never attacked him again.

But the identity of the black shadow is still in doubt. There are still layers of fog on it, and Mo Ling can't believe his words at will.

"Is it a human, or the so-called 'from the shadow'? Do the old predecessors and doctors it mentioned really exist?"

"The shadow always thinks that it is not a shadow... Its thoughts also seem very confused."

However, at present, Mo Ling can only believe it.

In this lonely world of knowledge, it seems that only this black shadow comes from human society.

Just as the black shadow can only rely on Mo Ling, Mo Ling can only believe it.

"Do you have a way to go to other worlds? I want to see that vine." Mo Ling wrote on the electronic screen. He still planned to confirm what the black shadow said first.

"Of course, I'll take you there."

The black shadow did not hesitate, and turned into a ball of black smoke and wrapped around the cube.

The bubble eyeball in the sky has been staring at the communication between the black shadow and Mo Ling. Seeing that they were about to leave, it began to tell Mo Ling a strange riddle:

"The difference between shadow and man is nothing more than the different angles of observation."

"The light shines on the body of a person and projects the shadow onto the ground... From the perspective of light, you can never see the shadow, you can only see the person, and from the perspective of the ground, the person blocks the light, it is pitch black, and the person becomes the shadow."

"There is no right or wrong, no good or bad between light and the ground. They just use limited angles to feel the world in their perspective."

"And you and I are no different from them. We only see the side of the world that is presented to us."

"The shadow is just imitating humans. Where does good or bad come from? Are humans good or bad?"

"The vine is just climbing along the tree. Where does good or bad come from? Are trees good or bad?"

"Look, look... If you just look, you can only see the person standing there, or the shadow that falls to the ground."

"It's either black... or white..."

The bubble eyeball was still muttering. The black smoke had wrapped the cube, and Mo Ling could no longer hear the riddles of the eyeball.

At this moment, a helpless voice came from the black smoke: "Every time I come here, they will say the same thing to me..."

"I asked them what these words meant, but they didn't tell me. They just kept repeating these riddles and metaphors. There is no logic at all."

"There is no way. Their race is like this. There are also records in the library. Their extinction is also a big reason for this..."

The black smoke flew to an unknown place with the cube wrapped around it, and told him about the bubble eyeball race.

"There are several books in the library that specifically introduce them. "Where the Eyes Cannot Reach" is a book that introduces their habits. There is another book that explores them more carefully, and it is specifically about their strange way of communicating in riddles..."

"That book is called - "Mystery Vision."

...

Although the Eternal Thirst's evaluation of the bubble eye race is "not worth mentioning", they will not miss any knowledge that can be explored, including the history, evolutionary path, and civilization form of the bubble eye race...

The things recorded in the book "Mystery Vision" are obviously more in-depth.

The bubble eye race actually has a name, and they call themselves "well bottom people".

The powerful visual sense did not bring them confidence, but instead brought them doubts about the world.

If it were a normal creature, seeing an apple, it would only think that it was an apple.

But the people at the bottom of the well are different. In addition to the light red skin, they see a lot of other things in the apple...

They can see the molecules that make up the apple, through the gaps between the molecules, see the various elements mixed inside the apple, see the odor molecules escaping from the surface of the apple, see the microorganisms crawling on the apple...

Not only that, following the light on the apple, they can even see how the apple grows.

The light red apple fades away the red spots, gradually turns green, shrinks, shrinks into flowers, and the blooming flowers slowly turn into buds and shrink between the branches...

The branches retreat back to the trunk, and the tall fruit tree is reduced to a short section in the blink of an eye. The brown trunk turns into a tender green bud and drills back into the soil.

Thick flesh grows around the seeds, and the newly complete apple flies back to the branches, repeating the process it once went through.

The light still shines, and the cycle continues.

The materials in the world are separated and combined, and in the end they are no longer the same group as before.

The cells of the fruit tree are passed down from generation to generation, and the genetic material is also changing and evolving.

The apple is still an apple, but it is not the apple it once was.

At this time, if you ask those people at the bottom of the well who saw all this:

"What did you see?"

They can only fall into silence and have nothing to say...

What should the answer be? Is it Apple? Or an apple tree? Or is it genetic material that is constantly iterating? Or is it a tangled mass of protein expression? Is it a cell? Or molecules? Or those intermolecular elements?

After seeing too much, I became hesitant.

The macroscopic world, the microscopic world, the present and the past overlap in sight. This has been seen, so how can we determine what cannot be seen?

Is there something else out of sight? Is the world as simple as it seems? The people at the bottom of the well cannot answer these questions themselves. They can only watch silently, and when faced with questions about the nature of things, they can only give vague answers.

Over time, the communication between them became full of riddles.

The language system of the civilization of the people at the bottom of the well is full of uncertainties. They remain suspicious of the world and of course their own judgments.

They will not give any definite answer, and even if they do, they will point out that it is one-sided and only effective within a certain system.

The civilization of the people at the bottom of the well has also come to a standstill. They can clearly see everything, but they do not use it to develop technology because they are not sure whether the "technology" they develop is "certain".

The development of science and technology is based on the understanding of the world, but their understanding of the world is "uncertain".

This world is too complicated for people in the well.

It was so complicated... that a huge fear arose in their hearts, shrouding the entire race, and they could no longer move.
