I'm trapped in a cube

Compatriots, our mission has been completed. Now all the new bio-trees can go to the big tree cave freely.

No enemy will stand in their way, and nothing can harm them.

The leader was relieved and no longer as enthusiastic as when he mobilized.

But the Huishu people couldn't calm down at all, and still responded excitedly to every word of the leader with cheers.

They have been suppressed for too long.

The Qifang tribe held a grand ceremony. The cube was carried onto the altar and worshiped in the middle.

The Huashus placed sacrificial supplies around the square.

They praised Cube's deeds and talked about Cube's greatness.

Praise the Holy Relic!

By the time it was all over, it was already late at night.

The leader dismissed the guard again and came to the square.

At this time, although he looked discouraged again, he looked very relaxed.

Holy object, you are here to save me.

The leader leaned against the metal wall of the cube again.

I don't know what to do next.

I thought about saving my compatriots who were in dire straits, but after I succeeded, I suddenly felt a little empty inside.

Mo Ling understood somewhat.

The leader spent so much time fabricating his beliefs just to get the transformed trees to help him accomplish his goal of driving away natural enemies.

Now that the purpose has been accomplished, he, the leader of the tribe, is held up high and doesn't know what to do.

Is it still necessary for the Qifang Tribe to exist?

Mo Ling sighed.

Compared to other transformed trees, the leader is indeed too special.

He can always think further.

The leader leaned on the square and stared blankly at the tribe in the distance, silent for a long time.

Thank you. The leader suddenly stood up, turned his head and said this to Cube.

You should also have self-awareness, right? I can feel that Huashu has the ability to perceive the existence of consciousness.

The leader's words startled Mo Ling, but he quickly calmed down.

Mo Ling suddenly remembered that when he met Huashu for the first time, Huashu crossed Li Luo and greeted the square first.

I see.

I didn’t expect Huashu to have such ability.

Mo Ling controlled the cube to float slightly and then fell to the ground, answering the leader's question.

The leader said with emotion: It seems that you have known everything for a long time, but you just don't bother to expose me.

The leader found a piece of cloth and gently wiped away the ashes that fell on the square.

I'm sorry, you should have known a long time ago that I was taking advantage of you, right?

Mo Ling was stunned for a moment, he didn't think so much.

It's all the leader's own imagination.

After wiping the square clean, the leader asked again: Are you going to leave the Qifang tribe after completing all this?

That's true.

Mo Ling wanted to continue exploring here. With the ability to move freely, he wanted to see what was going on in this world.

But he was too hungry.

I haven't eaten for two days.

Manipulating the cube for a long time made Mo Ling dizzy.

In order to free up space in the cube for fighting, Mo Ling had thrown out all the food he had stored, save only a few bottles of water.

There was nothing to eat in the Huashu Tribe, and he was worried about whether various fruits might have been infected by Theseus cells, so he didn't dare to eat them casually.

Mo Ling began to miss the days of eating and drinking by Li Luo's side again.

Thinking of this, Mo Ling made the cube vibrate slightly again.

Although the leader had guessed the answer early, he was still very frustrated: I really want to follow you.

The leader thought for a while and said to the square: You can leave tomorrow morning. I will ask my compatriots to see you off.

Mo Ling was not in a hurry and vibrated the cube in response.

After the leader left, Mo Ling, who was mentally and physically exhausted, fell asleep deeply in the cube.

He even had a dream.

In the dream, Mo Ling became extremely tall.

He turned into a square-headed figure again, sitting on a huge metal throne, motionless and overlooking the surroundings.

Countless transformed trees surrounded Mo Ling and kept shouting Praise the holy object!

They rushed to say all kinds of nice things to Moling, and then they dug a hole around the throne and jumped into it and turned into a tree.

The closer the tree is to the throne, the more glory it represents.

After the transformed tree in front turned into a tree, the transformed tree in the back surged up again, repeating the behavior of its predecessors.

The praises of the surrounding trees are endless.

The noisy sounds kept irritating Mo Ling.

When I opened my eyes again, it was early morning.

The square was already surrounded by Huashus chanting eulogies.

At this moment, Mo Ling couldn't even distinguish between dreams and reality.

The leader announced something to the Huashus:

The sacred object has completed its mission. The future development of the Huashu tribe depends on us. Now the sacred object will return to the place before it came. In the future, the sacred object will come again when the tribe is in crisis.

Mo Ling also controlled the cube to float in time, moved towards the big tree hole, and disappeared under the reluctant eyes of the transformed trees.

After a while, Mo Ling realized that no one was following him, and he slowly flew out from behind a thick tree root.

It's so tiring to act.

The matter of transforming trees can finally be put aside for now, but before going back, Mo Ling still wants to look for traces of Theseus cells here.

The cube flew away from the big tree hole.

Along the way, Mo Ling saw many familiar creatures, but none of these groups of creatures seemed to be affected by the biological disorder.

Not even Theseus cells are visible, not even in plants or animals.

It's obviously like a replica of the blocked area, but there's nothing unusual about it.

Mo Ling's mood became more and more solemn, and he had a terrible suspicion in his mind.

The cube speeded up and shuttled flexibly through the woods.

Sure enough, not long after, Mo Ling was shrouded in shadow again.

High walls!

Familiar high walls.

Mo Ling looked outside the wall in disbelief, and the thing she feared most appeared.

Outside the wall is a world composed of Theseus cells!

Mo Ling quickly experimented. The trees and insects outside the high wall turned into transparent liquid after being stripped away.

This is exactly what has been replaced by Theseus cells.

If the world is occupied by Theseus cells, who built this high wall?

Mo Ling was horrified when she thought about it.

While still struggling, a figure approached Mo Ling.

He was wearing the combat uniform of the outpost and looked perfectly normal.

The man picked up the recording instrument and pointed it at the square:

An unknown metal cube was found in Zone 13 of the anti-cell blockade area. Requesting reinforcements. Please reply if received.

After receiving several calls from the intercom, the man slowly walked to the square.

He knocked on the square and said to himself: What is this?

The visitor also wore a hunter nameplate, which was no different from the soldiers Mo Ling had seen at the outpost before.

But Mo Ling still discovered something different.

The man's arm was injured, and there was a bandage wrapped around the wound, with a little bright red blood oozing out of it.

The trace of blood soaked into the bandage, but slowly lost its color and turned pink.

Then, the pink color became lighter.

At the end, there was only a little transparent watermark left on the bandage...

Seeing this scene, a chill rushed to Mo Ling's forehead.
