I'm trapped in a cube

Mo Ling looked at the young boy in front of him and saw countless emotions flashing across his face: fear, anger, despair...

When his emotions collapsed, his expression became numb again, and he just looked at himself with no light in his pupils.

"I'm just asking some simple questions. How did he become like this?"

Mo Ling didn't quite understand.

After being "sealed" by the black-handed girl, Mo Ling's emotions fluctuated so much that he was "scared" into the form of a cube man.

Then, he discovered that these young people wanted to escape, so he quickly teleported away through the space gate summoned by the boss. After all, if they all ran away, he would not be able to understand what was happening here.

However, after the space gate was teleported into the cube, it did not completely disappear but remained for a while. Mo Ling found that he could look inside and see the scene on the other side of the gate.

Then he discovered that there was an independent space inside, surrounded by turbulent ripples, and the young people were hiding inside it.

Thinking of the "boss's" abilities, Mo Ling immediately understood how this space came about.

The so-called "sanctuary" is actually an independent area created by the boss using his ability. It is not a real place.

In order to verify his guess, after leaving the "metal seal", Mo Ling couldn't wait to come to the boss and ask about the shelter.

But he didn't know why the other party's expression changed so quickly after hearing what he said, becoming angry and desperate, as if he owed the other party a lot of money.

"Why don't you speak?"

Mo Ling looked at the other party and asked puzzledly.

He knew there was a misunderstanding between the two parties, but he had clearly turned into a "human", so shouldn't the other party try to communicate?

"I'm not a heavenly soldier."

Mo Ling explained very seriously that the source of all these misunderstandings was that these young people mistook him for a "celestial soldier", but he was not a celestial soldier and had no hostility towards these young people.

Eat it?

Who eats whom?

Mo Ling was stunned, and the other party's answer made him a little confused.

"The Heavenly Soldiers are going to eat you? Are they living creatures?"

After hearing this question, it was the young man's turn to be stunned, and a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.

"I don't know, but the Heavenly Soldiers want to eat us. After eating us, they will possess our abilities and change from an unactivated state to an activated state. They are using the remains of our dead companions and manipulating our corpses. They use our death as a condition for their activation and treat us as easy prey. This city is their hunting ground..."

The young man muttered in a daze, with countless emotions appearing on his face.

But more than anything else, it is the feeling of powerlessness and despair that overrides other emotions and becomes the dominant one.

After listening to the boy's mumbling, Mo Ling hesitated for a while, and asked in confusion: "Then why don't you run? Leave this city."

"Run?" The young man laughed bitterly: "The heavenly soldiers have already closed this city. There is only death at the edge of the city..."

There is only death on the edge? Mo Ling didn't quite understand what this meant, but he guessed that this was also the ability of a certain heavenly soldier.

From the young man's words, we can learn that the heavenly soldiers are divided into two forms, the unactivated state and the activated state. The boundary between the two is whether or not they have eaten humans. After eating humans, they will gain the abilities of the humans they eat. In other words, the heavenly soldier who locked up the city was also using someone's abilities?

"Where do your abilities come from?" This is what Mo Ling wants to know most.

Ever since the first time he saw these young people, Mo Ling had been observing the source of their power, but no matter how carefully he looked, he could not find the origin of this power, as if it came completely out of thin air.

But in this abyss, how can anything “come out of thin air”?

What’s the cost?

What are the conditions?

Everyone has such powerful abilities without having to pay anything?

Mo Ling didn't believe that such a good thing would really happen.

However, after hearing this question, the young man in front of him looked at Mo Ling and said clearly: "Our abilities are innate."

The boy's words echoed in Mo Ling's cube brain, constantly impacting his understanding of the abyss...

"Born with it? Are you really mutants?" Mo Ling couldn't help but ask.

"What is a mutant?" Hearing this word, the boy showed a confused look.

"fine……"

Mo Ling walked around the boy several times, looking at his body, which made the boy nervous again.

"Who are you?" he asked cautiously, mustering up his courage.

"Anyway, I'm not a heavenly soldier." Mo Ling replied indifferently.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Then why do you look like a heavenly soldier?" the young man continued to ask.

"They just look alike. Who said you can't look like this?"

Mo Ling was also a little depressed. He had been misunderstood for so long and was already feeling very aggrieved. Who could have expected that Fang Kuai's "strange appearance" would also "clash with clothes" with others?

"Have you ever seen a heavenly soldier transform into a human?"

"You said the Heavenly Soldiers were hunting you. Do I look like I'm hunting you?"

"Did I attack proactively?"

"Am I doing you any harm?"

Mo Ling asked the young man several questions in a row.

The young man thought about it seriously and asked, "Why did you hide and watch when we were fighting the heavenly soldiers? Didn't you want to reap the benefits?"

"I just got here and I don't know whether you are good or bad people, so of course I have to hide! If I came out directly, wouldn't you have attacked me long ago?" Mo Ling really couldn't stand the boy's "imagination" and hit him on the head.

The young man covered his head, and his expression looked much better. His eyes were no longer filled with despair, but instead were filled with deep curiosity.

"Where are you from?"

Mo Ling thought about it and pointed to the sky.

"Heaven? Are you a deity? Are you here to subdue the rebellious heavenly soldiers?"

“…”

Mo Ling resisted the urge to hit the boy again.

After all, it is normal for young people of this age to have some unrealistic ideas in their minds.

"I came from the upper floor."

"Up one level? Up one level?"

"The upper level of the abyss. This is the sixth level. I came from the fifth level."

"What is the abyss?" The young man looked confused.
