I'm trapped in a cube

"Take it, point it at yourself, and press this button..."

The team leader carefully explained the operation method of the dream catching device.

"Next, you have to leave by yourself..."

He slowly stepped back and smiled at Hu Le.

"Team leader...can't you come with me?"

"I'm just your dream, of course not. It's reality for you, but it's just another layer of dream for me."

"I'm worried that I won't be able to get it back..." Hu Le said worriedly.

He had just learned about the difficulty of "finding reality" from the team leader.

It is said to be "500 layers", but in fact the dream is not "numbered", and he cannot see the so-called number of layers. He can only find it layer by layer, and find the only one in the already chaotic dream under the abyss. The “real” one.

Not to mention, every level of dream is the same, and the dream catcher cannot help him lock in reality.

He could only rely on himself to sift through the layers of dreams, relying on his mysterious and mysterious intuition to determine the one that seemed "most correct".

This is a difficult process, and Hu Le is not sure of success, but since he has chosen to "wake up", he must embark on this path.

"Team leader, are you going to continue to the abyss?"

"Well, I have to find other people first... After all, no one is thinking about me above the abyss. I don't know if any of us guys can meet the conditions for dreaming." The team leader thought as he read, He shook his head helplessly.

"Everyone is very lonely..."

Listening to the team leader's thoughts, Hu Le's chest hurt.

They are all forgotten people.

"Don't worry, team leader, you will definitely succeed." Hu Le encouraged the team leader.

However, the team leader smiled and shook his head again.

"We will fail."

"Why?" Hu Le asked in surprise. He didn't know why the team leader said that.

"Because... when you just told me your story, I already knew the result. Twenty years later, no one still knows that Mengdu is a prison, which means we failed, and failed completely."

The team leader smiled and said something desperate.

Hu Le's eyes widened suddenly, and there was a roar in his mind.

"Yes, yes... twenty years later, no one knows about this." Hu Le's voice was trembling, and his face was pale.

Only then did he think clearly about the logic: If the team leader and the others succeeded, the news about Mengdu being a prison should have been spread long ago.

"It doesn't matter."

Seeing that something was wrong with Hu Le's condition, the team leader reached out and patted Hu Le's shoulder gently.

"Isn't there a 'uniqueness' here? Maybe things can turn around?"

The team leader smiled lightly again, seeming to be full of confidence in what he was about to do.

"No matter what, I should give it a try, just in case...what if something changes?"

He stood in front of Hu Le with a strong body, his face was full of gentleness, but that face seemed a little out of place.

The team leader should have been quite handsome, but his face that should have been simple and clean was covered with stubble.

Because he is too busy at work, the team leader is often too lazy to take care of himself. He wears a research coat for half a month and throws it away when it gets dirty. Except when he enters the sterile room, he always looks sloppy.

Despite this sloppy appearance, he works vigorously and resolutely, and the project plan he has set is absolutely not allowed to be delayed. Once a team member makes a mistake, they will be humiliated and abused.

Those team members with a bad mentality may even be scolded and cried directly.

Hu Le always felt that the team leader was very strict with them and often scolded them, but he never expected that the team leader could be so gentle sometimes...

"Team leader, you don't look like yourself anymore."

"How to say?"

"You are like the protagonist of the game, your whole body is glowing."

"..."

The team leader's expression suddenly stiffened, and then he hit Hu Le directly on the head.

"Take care along the way."

He said softly, then turned around and walked towards the sea of ​​colors. The white research clothes became colorful under the light, as if they had been splashed with gorgeous paint.

Like the protagonists of those games, the team leader did not look back. His back gradually blurred and disappeared into the colorful light...

Hu Le stood like this, looking at the place where the team leader disappeared for a long time.

"It's time to go."

He said to himself and also to Mo Ling in the cube.

In this dream world filled with colorful pixels, he was alone.

The two consciousnesses are intertwined and overlapped in the twisted colored light.

There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!

"Let's go."

Mo Ling, who was in the square, moved his lips slightly and responded softly. He and the leader of the robot research team were supposed to be strangers, but now there was a touch of sadness in his heart.

Hu Le's consciousness affected him, but he did not resist and allowed his emotions to spread.

Mo Ling hasn't had this feeling for a long time...

"Are they friends? It seems that Hu Le and the team leader are not friends."

It's just two lonely souls who found something in common with each other.

Looking back on herself, Mo Ling felt that she was probably a lonely person too.

"If I were the one to entrust the dream, would I be able to find the person who entrusted the dream to me?"

There seemed to be no one he knew in Dawn City, or perhaps there were few people he knew in this world.

He was just a rootless duckweed floating around, and he didn't belong here.

What about the world before? After being here for so long, is there anyone in that world who still misses him?

Can dreams bring him back to the original world and find his old friends?

Mo Ling shook his head, thinking that he was overthinking.

What happened to him was much weirder than dreams. Maybe the distance between him and the previous world was so great that he couldn't even dream...

"Let's think about how to get back to reality first."

...

Hu Le sighed and looked at the dream catcher in his hand.

He also felt the loneliness coming from Mo Ling's consciousness, but the two of them were in the same boat, and no one could save the other, so they could only focus on the things in front of them.

According to the operation sequence taught by the team leader, Hu Le first aimed the dream catcher at himself, and then adjusted the parameters on the device.

After taking a deep breath, he pressed the button.

Huh~

A gust of wind blew across Hu Le's cheek. This time, the wind seemed much stronger than before...

Still feeling the strange feeling brought by the dream catcher, suddenly, the wind became violent and changed direction, directly rolling up Hu Le who was standing on the ground.

Hu Le didn't react for a while and almost lost the dream catcher in his hand.

Fortunately, he adjusted his body shape in time so that he would not be blown around by the wind. Slowly, he stabilized in the rising airflow.

It seemed to be getting farther and farther away from the ground. The gust of wind seemed to blow Hu Le into the sky and throw him into the chaotic colors.

At the same time, Hu Le's eyes were doubled again...
