I'm trapped in a cube

In the endless darkness, it seemed to be snowing.

There was no sunlight in the abyss, and it was terrifyingly cold.

Things isolated by the abyss have no qualifications to continue sinking. They are stuck in the silent abyss, waiting for one day to be put to use.

The abyss is like an efficient machine, excluding all invalid information that occupies "memory", leaving only the "useful" content, even sunlight is no exception.

"But what does 'useful' mean?"

Mo Ling thought for a long time in the snowy darkness, but couldn't figure it out.

For a game, those things that players can see are useful.

For a book, those words that can be seen are useful.

For a world…

Is there really a protagonist in the world, and everything outside of the protagonist is filled with illusions. Only when the protagonist gets close will the illusions be truly loaded? Will it become meaningful?

Doesn’t it mean that the world revolves around the same person?

Mo Ling doesn't think that's the case.

But if this is not the case, how can we understand Yuan Kong?

Snowflakes continued to fall, and Mo Ling recalled the first time he came to Yuankong. At that time, vine debris was also flying in the sky, and he didn't notice these cold snowflakes at all.

Without sunlight, the temperature of the abyss becomes very low, and those excluded things are also frozen together. They gradually dissipate on the invisible track of time and become meaningless snowflakes.

The vines seem to be no longer here.

Does it continue to travel?

Those little animals are gone too. Without their presence, Yuankong becomes even more deserted.

In the deep void, only Li Luo was falling, and Cube was following behind.

The bracelet on Li Luo's hand kept swinging, and the diamond ring around his neck floated up, still flashing the colorful light.

Mo Ling controlled the cube and followed it down while looking at the silent abyss.

Just as he was thinking about Yuankong, the metal wall inside the cube changed.

They are slowly becoming transparent.

Mo Ling curiously walked to the edge of the square, stretched out his hand, and actually passed directly through the metal wall and walked into another space.

And this space is larger than the previous one.

As the previous space gradually became transparent until it disappeared, he stood in a new space.

"It's doubled again."

This was the first time that Mo Ling clearly felt the changes in the square space.

His field of vision also expanded again, and he could see further away.

"The space within the square is now 16m in length, width and height."

"And the field of view is...161m in length, width and height."

"The index is rising, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16..."

The extra 1 is the space occupied by the square.

After fully exploring his field of vision, Mo Ling saw an extremely vast world.

"Too far..."

The space in the room was also ridiculously large, making the space that Mo Ling had "decorated" feel empty again.

Moreover, at a height of 16m, it feels very empty, just like standing in the lobby of a hotel.

Mo Ling stood in the center of the square, and the feeling of oppression at the beginning was completely gone.

"As long as you keep going down, you can break the restrictions. Maybe after reaching a certain level, this metal cube can be completely broken..."

Although Mo Ling was used to the feeling of hiding in a box, he still wanted to experience the world for himself.

In fact, he is also very conflicted in his heart. If he hides in the square, he will be trapped forever. If he leaves the square, he will not be able to protect himself in this dangerous abyss. His combat effectiveness is even weaker than Li Luo.

"It would be great if I could go back and forth between the cubes at any time..."

Unfortunately, this is just a fantasy.

In the abyss, Li Luo closed his eyes, slowly falling with the snowflakes.

She moved her eyelids from time to time, as if she saw something in her sleep.

The surroundings became darker, and even the snowflakes completely became part of the darkness. Everything in the world was completely integrated into a pool of thick ink, and everything was floating and sinking in the ink.

But the lightless environment had no effect on Mo Ling. He stretched his vision to his heart's content and observed in the abyss.

There are other things hidden in the seemingly silent ink.

Mo Ling saw a giant statue made of stone, floating quietly in the endless void. Even after expanding his field of vision, he couldn't see the entirety of the giant statue, only the tip of the iceberg.

The surface of the colossus is carved with extremely mysterious runes, which look like some kind of writing or wall carvings that have only artistic meaning. Those runes have been somewhat damaged by the erosion of time, and the body of the colossus has begun to collapse. dissipate.

"Is this a trace left by a certain civilization?" Mo Ling looked at the lonely giant floating in the void, and suddenly felt a sense of sadness in his heart.

"They are not allowed to enter the abyss?"

Why should such a civilization be eliminated in this way?

In this ink-soaked world, there is not only this lonely figure.

Mo Ling also saw a lot...

Green droplets scattered all over the sky, metal objects composed of countless concentric rings, slowly rotating woven balls, high-speed silver water droplets, huge rectangular black stone tablets...

These seem to be civilizational creations excluded from the abyss.

They were not qualified to enter the abyss, so they were trapped here by the endless darkness, and gradually lost all their meaning under the erosion of time.

Perhaps they were once the overlords of the abyss, and perhaps they also sailed deeper with expectations and dreams, but they could not go down, leaving only a "for viewing only" body.

They are the abandoned projects that will never be loaded in the game.

Meaningless sentences that will never appear in the book again.

The other side of the world, the enemy that the protagonist will never encounter.

The appearance of these things is just a passing scene, presenting a fill-in description in the piled-up scene description. If these descriptions are replaced with another sentence, this description is also completely valid, and there will be no other impact.

Meaningless...

Replacing the colossus with a huge mechanical fortress, it seems that nothing has changed. Its function is to appear there, so that "people" can see, perceive, read, and feel it.

Perhaps, after a period of time, all "people" will forget this colossus.

They can't even remember whether it is a colossus or a mechanical fortress.

No matter from which aspect, it is just a code name, without meaning, and without any memorable points, floating in the abyss until all "people" forget it.

In the dark abyss, there are things more lonely than the giant statue, which have never appeared and are not within perception...

No one has seen it.

No one understands it.

No one is curious.

It just exists, but it does not exist at all...
