I'm trapped in a cube

"It's coming." The man in red was sitting on the roof, muttering softly.

"What's coming?" Mo Ling asked curiously.

"The most brilliant dance, the most beautiful death."

"die?"

"Yes, look at those guys below. Do they still care about their own lives? When they are most complacent, that is when they die. Indulgent desire can kill obsession and also kill themselves..." The man in red Looking at the dancing creatures, he said with some emotion.

Hearing what the man in red said, Mo Ling was a little surprised: "They will all die?"

"Part of..."

The man in red was still talking when a huge sound wave interrupted the conversation between the two.

Mo Ling looked along the source of the sound and discovered that a huge red ball of light had appeared in the middle of the dance floor. The ball of light was densely covered with countless holes, and dazzling light pillars shot out from the holes. Shine onto the creatures on the dance floor.

"Is that a light ball?"

Why did it really become a dance floor?

Mo Ling was still wondering, when the huge red light ball began to rotate, and the music became louder and louder as the light ball rotated. The terrifying sound waves kept impacting the creatures on the dance floor, and even Some weak creatures had been knocked down by the sound waves and fell onto the dance floor.

Those creatures that fell did not seem to stand up again.

Like stones dropped into the water, they made a circle of ripples, just a circle of ripples, and then disappeared completely.

On the noisy dance floor, the disappearance of these weak creatures did not seem to cause any commotion. A burst of red smoke rose from the place where they disappeared. There were also countless red light spots in the smoke. After the light spots rose, some of them disappeared. Reaching the bodies of other creatures, the rest escaped into the air, making the entire dance floor even hazier.

"Where did those disappeared creatures go?" Mo Ling couldn't stop asking.

"Desire is back." The man in red replied calmly: "When desire is magnified to a certain extent, it will devour the body and the soul. You can think of desire as the ketchup in French fries. If you put too much ketchup, it will engulf the body and the soul." Submerged in the fries, it tastes like ketchup only... Those light spots are the ketchup in the fries, and the essence of those organisms has not changed, but has become the taste of ketchup.”

Listening to the man in red's wonderful metaphor, Mo Ling understood it for a while and then continued to ask: "You mean, those red lights are the desires of living things?"

"Yes, they transformed from physical form into desire form."

"They're not dead yet?"

"Of course he's dead. The parts that make up his body have changed from French fries to ketchup. Doesn't that mean he's dead?"

The man in red insisted on his opinion, and Mo Ling had no intention of continuing to argue with him, so he looked at the dance floor again.

The deafening sound wave shook the creatures in the pool into the air. As the red raindrops fell together, the creatures that fell on the dance floor disappeared, and the creatures that could continue to stand continued to dance.

They were completely crazy. In the hazy red light spots, they seemed to have become part of the dance floor, rising and falling with the dancing red light, completely synchronized.

The huge red ball of light grew larger and larger, turning into a red sun that shrouded above the dance floor. The dense holes illuminated the dazzling light, sweeping across all the creatures on the dance floor.

The light even swept across the roof where Mo Ling and the man in red were. After being swept, the roof shook even more violently, and spark-like light spots rose up from the swept place, swaying into the sky.

"Stay here, are you okay?" Mo Ling was a little worried.

But the man in red was not afraid at all. He stretched out his hand, grabbed a handful of floating red light spots, and stuffed it into his mouth.

It was like chewing a handful of red jam, scarlet juice seeping out from the corners of the man in red's mouth, looking very scary.

The man in red frowned while chewing on the light spots.

"Le Tie Lv Wang's Wu Dou is in love with you." He made a vague sound from his mouth.

"What did you say?"

"I said, the taste of these desires is getting worse and worse." The man in red showed a hard-to-swallow expression, but in the end he swallowed it with difficulty.

Immediately afterwards, he collapsed on the roof, panting and looking at the sky.

"It tastes bad, it tastes too bad. What are these desires?"

Mo Ling walked over curiously and looked down at the man in red who fell on the roof.

"Are you okay?"

"It's okay, I'm just disgusted..."

"Can you also eat those desires?"

"Of course you can eat it. I can eat anything." Although the man in red was paralyzed on the roof, he still answered Mo Ling's question seriously.

After thinking for a while, Mo Ling continued to ask: "What does desire taste like?"

After hearing this question, the man in red showed a complicated expression.

"It depends on what kind of desire it is..."

"Love has a fruity flavor. It has different flavors according to different types of love. The passion between lovers is like a ripe peach. If it is early, it will be a little green, but if it is later, it will start to rot."

"The love between relatives is like the faint scent of apples, it always exists and lasts."

"There are also some very complicated loves, like fruit salad. When they are combined, they also have a special taste..."

"The desire for survival is the taste of meat. The desire for survival of different creatures will have different meat tastes. The degree of maturity of the desire for survival is also different. It is medium-well done, medium-well done, and well-done. Sometimes it is half-cooked, and sometimes it is overcooked, which will become unpalatable."

"The desire for knowledge is a light vegetable..."

"The desire for power is like a heavy seasoning. It is optional, but adding it to other desires will add a lot of flavor."

"And..."

The man in red just lay on the roof, looking at the sky, and told Mo Ling about the taste of desire.

Mo Ling nodded while trying to keep himself calm.

"Who is this man in red?"

He can stay alone in such a dangerous place like Hongguang City and live so comfortably. Moreover, his "diet" seems to be different from that of normal humans.

Sure enough, humans who can come to the fifth floor of the abyss are not simple.

After the man in red introduced the taste of various desires, Mo Ling curiously asked what the desires he had just tasted were like.

The red-clothed man frowned again, revealing an extremely uncomfortable expression.

He punched the roof hard and cursed:

"What are those?"

"Why is there only seasonings and no cucumbers in a plate of cold cucumber salad?"

"Why can the meat be burned to a charcoal smell?"

"Also, why is the taste of peach mixed with the taste of apple!?"
