I'm trapped in a cube

The red snow seemed to be getting heavier and heavier...

The light spots flew up to the sky, and then fell into the swaying light in the city under some kind of effect.

The man in red caught the falling snow with his hands, put it in his mouth to taste it, and vomited it out with disgust.

"It's so disgusting."

Mo Ling followed him, observing his behavior curiously.

"The red light here was not so crazy at the beginning..."

Leading Mo Ling through the alleys where the red light was swaying, the competent "tour guide" began to talk about the past of Hongguang City in a few words.

...

One day, a group of intelligent creatures discovered this city emitting red light in the dark.

In the world under the abyss, light is a very rare thing.

Light often means powerful energy. If this energy can be used, the tribe can develop vigorously.

After entering the city, this group of intelligent creatures carefully checked every corner of the city, because light not only means opportunities, but also may bring great dangers.

After checking the city and finding no danger, they excitedly moved in.

But soon after they moved in, they discovered that there seemed to be something else in the red light here...

Those red light spots actually have the characteristics of some creatures. The light spots often gather in groups and gnaw on the life residues left by the creatures.

These red light spots like insect swarms have brought a little fright to the intelligent creatures who moved in, but after research, the intelligent creatures found that these red light spots have no life characteristics, so they classified them as a natural phenomenon in the city.

"The light spots devour all kinds of residues and convert them into light energy."

Knowing the source of the red light, this group of intelligent creatures is more relieved.

Because this means that the operating rules of this city are no longer "unknown" to them, they can use this rule to control the light in the city.

However, while they were still studying those light spots, an accident happened.

Other races also discovered this city emitting red light, and they swarmed into the city.

Light is a scarce resource, why should one race monopolize it?

Different races began to occupy different urban areas, and even conflicts began, resulting in casualties.

Under the red curtain, struggle and killing seemed "normal".

Countless lives died because of this. Before the intelligent race could deeply study the characteristics of the light spots, they were troubled by internal and external troubles and had to spend all their energy on fighting for territory.

A bloody storm was set off in the city. The races started fighting directly when they met, showing no mercy at all. The blood was spilled on the red curtain. Everyone could only see that the other races were killing each other. Even if the blood flowed like a river, the red light could still cover everything, making everything seem like nothing had happened.

In this way, each race suffered heavy casualties.

They sent people to collect the bodies, but they all found that the bodies were missing. They all thought that it was the work of other races, so the hatred between the races intensified.

Until one time, one race broadcast a message to all races:

They found the reason for the disappearance of the bodies.

"It's those light spots."

The light spots were devouring the bodies, and they regarded the bodies as the residue of the city.

After learning this news, each race conducted experiments and confirmed the authenticity of the news.

The race that spread the news called on all races in the city to stop fighting and investigate the secret of the red light first.

However, hatred is not so easy to eliminate.

It's just that the corpses were treated as residues, which is not a big deal, and it also saves the trouble of cleaning up the battlefield.

The various races fought again, and those gentle races were forced to participate in the resistance...

Fortunately, long-term fighting will always cause a desire for peace.

After a period of stalemate, the various races finally couldn't stand the damage of the war, reached a consensus, and decided to divide the city and rule, each occupying a part of the city.

But things are not as simple as they think.

This is under the abyss of eternal night. The city they are in is a night pearl emitting dazzling red light. Not only they can see the light that pierces the darkness.

There are new races coming, they have stronger strength, and they don't need to spend much effort to deal with these wounded soldiers in the city.

The war that had been settled started again, and the situation became chaotic again.

The city was divided smaller and smaller, and the battlefield was everywhere.

Various creatures continued to pour into the city, chaos spread in the city, races formed alliances and merged with each other, and then fought and separated...

In the end, the creatures in the city no longer knew who they were fighting for.

For the race? They had already perished.

For the family? They had already died.

These creatures wandered around the city in a daze, and order fell apart.

It was at this time that strange music appeared in the center of the city.

That was where the light points gathered and where the light was brightest. After hearing the sound, countless wandering creatures followed the music to the center of the dance floor.

The first dance of desire began...

The various obsessions brought by the war were deeply engraved in the hearts of these creatures. They quickly sank into desire, and their bodies gradually merged into the blood color, turning into red light points.

A huge red flame rose in the city, burning more and more vigorously with obsession as fuel. Countless sparks rushed to various parts of the city, and the red light overflowed, adding a layer of bright red paint to the original red curtain.

The creatures that did not enter the dance floor were completely shocked.

They realized that the city was not only devouring their bodies...

The spiral of desire swept through, leaving only devastation.

The creatures that survived in the dance floor no longer had obsessions, but also became empty zombies.

"Those red lights are eating the remnants of the soul."

"All thoughts are born from the heart, and thoughts are born from heartbreak."

"Obsession is the remnant left by heartbreak, and of course it is eaten up by those red lights, leaving nothing behind."

The better ones turned into empty shells, and the worst ones completely became light spots of desire. From the moment they stepped into the dance floor, they were destined to become part of the red light...

After seeing this scene, the creatures outside the dance floor finally realized that this was a trap.

The red light became more and more intense, and even the scope of the dance floor spread outward a little.

"If the red light devours enough creatures, the scope of the dance floor will cover the entire city."

The red light is using them as nutrients and growing wantonly...

After the "dance" ended, the surviving creatures in the city put aside their prejudices, gathered together, and discussed how to deal with the red light.

Some creatures planned to leave the city. Compared with living in danger all the time, the night is not unacceptable.

Some creatures proposed to close the dance floor and not let any creatures enter. They only live on the periphery and can always enjoy the light.

This proposal was eventually agreed by most creatures and was immediately implemented.

However, as long as the light exists, the greed for light will always exist.

Another new race entered the city. They knew from some unknown way that the Rainbow City could eliminate obsessions. Regardless of the obstruction of the races in the city, they rushed into the dance floor without hesitation.

"Desire cannot be stopped."

The only ones left in the city are the old, weak, sick and disabled. They can only survive under the red light and are powerless to stop those creatures who are seeking death.

Even if one wave is stopped, how can the next wave be stopped?

Having experienced war, they are no longer willing to continue to provoke disputes. The more they die, the faster the red light will spread.

"If they want to go in, let them go in."

The creatures stood quietly on the edge of the dance floor, watching the crazy dance come again and again. One wave died, and another wave came in from outside, one after another.

In the end, they were numb...

Anyway, there is no explanation. Those creatures are more stubborn than each other. It is better to just watch...

"There is no way. If they are not stubborn, how can they be called obsession?"
