I'm trapped in a cube

"Are you ready?" the staff member asked softly.

"Okay."

Li Luo walked slowly to the hole, and suddenly turned around and asked: "Do I need to put down the things on me?"

"If they are part of you, then no." The staff member replied

"Part?"

"Yes, they have always belonged to you, and have been with you all the way. When you mention your name, these things are also included, just like when we describe a person, his hair, hands and feet, dress, facial features... are all part of this person, and are included in the description of this person's name."

As if worried that Li Luo did not understand, the staff member walked aside and took a can from another colleague.

"For example, this can, when I say the word can, I am describing its can body, lid, packaging, and the food inside. All these included things belong to the can."

Although it was still a bit confusing, Li Luo nodded.

Her luggage had been with her all the way here. The books collected from room 0122 and the newly purchased supplies were all placed in the room. Now it was just a test. According to the staff, there should be no problem.

Thinking of this, Li Luo took a deep breath, looked back at the cube, and then jumped from the edge of the simulated abyss.

"Plop."

The warm feeling disappeared instantly, and the sun no longer covered her body.

It was like jumping into a pool of cold lake water. The biting cold penetrated the clothes, penetrated the skin, and drilled into the bones. But after a shiver, the cold feeling quickly disappeared, as if it had adapted to the "water temperature".

The voices of the staff outside suddenly became blurred, as if separated by a thick layer of glass. The rustling sound was spinning in her ears. She heard a lot, but she couldn't understand what it meant. The sounds that passed through the abyss seemed to have become another strange language. Broken words and chaotic sentences kept whispering in Li Luo's ears.

"Work...test...continue..."

As if she was at the bottom of a deep body of water, inhuman voices kept coming from the completely dark ink. Those voices surrounded Li Luo, as if they were discussing her treatment methods.

Being in the darkness, a great fear suddenly surged into her heart.

Li Luo struggled in the dark ink and wanted to swim upwards, but found that no matter how she swam, she could not avoid sinking. She could still breathe, but she felt suffocated.

Li Luo panted and stretched her hands upwards.

In the cold and dark ink, there was nothing for her to grab.

The shore was out of reach, and she followed the quiet water flow and drifted towards the endless distance.

It was a black river flowing in the abyss. Countless creatures were excluded. Their corpses and broken souls fell into the boundless abyss, into the bottom of chaos without light and order, where they were stripped, decomposed, reorganized, reorganized into different shapes, and reorganized beyond recognition...

Li Luo's consciousness seemed to extend to the distance with the darkness. She pursued the whispers around her and wandered aimlessly in this world without any light. The deep abyss flowed into an unknown canyon. Her consciousness was also re-stirred in the collision between the river and the ground, turned into water vapor, and flew to an unknown place.

Just when the consciousness was about to be completely lost, the hand raised high actually grabbed a hard object.

Like a drowning person grabbing the shore, Li Luo immediately grabbed the hard object.

Although the object was a bit smooth, she still climbed up with difficulty.

"This is, a cube..."

In the darkness, Li Luo could not see anything, but she could feel that it was a regular cube.

"Cube, are you here to save me?"

The cube slowly flew upwards, dragging Li Luo through the dark abyss canyon, flying over the waterfall of the Abyss River, and floating over the flowing river.

A breeze blew in the silent darkness, which quickly dissipated the feeling of suffocation. The sound of the flowing river below brought back the lost attention, and his thoughts no longer sank.

When facing the darkness again, Li Luo had a new feeling.

Everything in the abyss seemed to be following a rule: disorder and death fell, order and life floated up, the birth of life required death as the price, and all order needed to be reorganized with disorder.

The unique cycle would make the creatures in it feel the impermanence of life. This rule gave everything two-sided...

Life and death, love and hate, white and black...

Everything has a price, this is the established logic of the abyss.

The water of the Abyss River fell into the canyon, and the bursting water vapor combined into new things, gradually floating up, gradually becoming regular and orderly, but after being broken, it would become disordered again, fall into the Abyss River, and re-enter the cycle.

Metabolism, new blood replaces old blood.

In the silent darkness, Li Luo seemed to hear some kind of huge heartbeat.

"Plop... plop..."

The abyss was following this heartbeat, executing the rules repeatedly, and every burst would speed up the flow of the Abyss River.

"Just like a living creature."

The suffocating Abyss River was nothing more than the blood vessels of the Abyss...

After realizing this, the fear in Li Luo's heart disappeared.

She seemed to see a dying beast huddled in the crevice motionlessly, its blood coagulating, its life in danger, its heartbeat becoming slower and slower, and the circulation in the organism slowly disappearing.

Even the abyss itself could not escape the rules of life and death.

The abyss river could not flow forever, and the eternal cycle would eventually return to calm.

At the end of that time, it seemed that nothing could escape, and everything was inevitably falling into the dark singularity.

Only the block under her was floating slowly.

Fly over the falling abyss, fly over the dying beast, fly over the dying life, fly out of the water, fly under the sunshine...

"Little cube, fly and fly, fly over the forest and over the sea."

"Indulge in dreams and love..."

"Tall people, turn and turn, for desire and wealth."

"Fall into the abyss and fall into disaster..."

"Disordered butterflies, flee and flee, become a disaster and a harm."

"Rebirth and restart..."

"..."

In the surrounding murmur, Li Luo seemed to hear the familiar nursery rhyme again, the nursery rhyme that her mother had sung many times.

But this time, Li Luo heard it more clearly, and the lyrics that had long been forgotten came back to her mind with memory.

"Why, I suddenly remembered it again?"

A wave of sadness rose in Li Luo's heart.

She closed her eyes, letting the transparent tears fall into the endless darkness, and endless ripples appeared in the abyss...
