I'm trapped in a cube

When Mo Ling said goodbye to the elf, it was still reluctant to leave.

But the moist mirage kept reminding Mo Ling that he must find a way to leave the virtual image.

"See you in the future." After saying these words, Mo Ling floated towards a rainbow light surface.

"I don't know where I will go this time."

A more distant past?

The oasis at that time was probably just an inaccessible desert.

This time, the rainbow light surface seems a bit strange. It is constantly moving in the air, as if something is constantly impacting it.

The mirage on the other side was extremely turbulent.

Mo Ling gritted his teeth and got in.

But as soon as he entered it, he saw an extremely astonishing scene.

This is a sea.

The endless sea.

As soon as Mo Ling appeared, he fell into endless darkness.

This is the deep sea where sunlight cannot reach.

There seemed to be many things staring at him in the dark distance.

There are countless huge creatures wandering in the blurred water.

I don't know whether their eyes were staring at Mo Ling or whether they were glancing unconsciously. Mo Ling only felt that he was exposed to a sea of ​​sharp thorns.

It was the feeling of thorns on the back, and the feeling of wanting to hide strongly stimulated Mo Ling.

It was the same in all directions, there were more and more eyes, and the dull and rich water began to roll, as if something huge was stirring unconsciously.

A thick whimpering sound came from the bottomless trench where the bottom could not be seen. It was unclear whether it was the cry of a creature or the call of the abyss.

Some indescribable strange black shadows began to surround Mo Ling. The bodies of these black shadows were covered with flaky fins, and the fins also gave off a faint shimmer, like nebulae rotating in the universe.

asphyxia.

Obviously this was just an illusion, but Mo Ling felt an indescribable sense of suffocation, as if water was violently rushing into his lungs.

Just when Mo Ling was out of breath, a faint rainbow light flashed not far away.

As if grasping a life-saving straw, Mo Ling rushed over immediately, got into the rainbow light, and came to a garden.

This is Oasis City Garden.

The warm sunshine shone down, but the coldness on Mo Ling's body did not disappear.

That comes from the coldness inside.

"That was the deep sea just now?" Mo Ling still didn't come to his senses.

Why is there a sea when we are clearly in a desert?

Is this still the second level of the abyss?

Mo Ling breathed heavily and looked around. The greening in Oasis City was very good, with shady trees. It was obviously just a monitoring station, but the park was made the same as the People's Park in the metropolises on earth.

Black shadows flashed around him, and Mo Ling subconsciously thought they were some creatures in the deep sea. When he looked over, he realized they were just some passers-by.

They walked slowly back and forth in the park, and some old people were practicing aerobics with weird postures.

The swinging arms made Mo Ling seem to see the fins on those strange black figures in the deep sea.

Some old people still held reflective "swords" in their hands. The unedged swords shone with light and stung Mo Ling for a moment.

A whimper came, and the wind blew past a tall building not far away. Between the two tall buildings was an invisible bottomless trench and an invisible blue sky.

Mo Ling was in a trance, and the Deep Sea and Oasis City overlapped at this moment.

He suddenly realized that he was still standing at the junction of different concentrations of mirage!

That's not an illusion!

The volcano on the bottom of the sea erupted violently, the hot magma tore through the darkness, and glowing rock cracks spread across the bottom of the sea.

At the same time, the ground in Oasis City suddenly cracked open, and a crack approached the park from a distance.

The earthquake started.

A large amount of volcanic debris material rolled up the seabed sediment that had settled for many years, tumbling and eroding the originally turbid sea.

Sand and dust also began to float in the cracks in the Oasis City. The shell dust buried at the bottom of the Oasis City inadvertently came to the surface.

The black shadows in the deep sea began to flee hurriedly, and the creatures that did not know whether they were fish or molluscs avoided the rolling volcanic ash.

The crowds in the park also began to run away from the cracks, turning into swaying black shadows in the scattered smoke and dust.

The waving hands and fins are indistinguishable.

The sword fell to the ground, its light dimmed, and the stars above the fins also perished.

Mo Ling fell into the rolled up volcanic ash and the smoke from the crack at the same time.

When I grabbed it with both hands, there was no sea water or smoke particles, only moist mist.

There is no warm sunshine, no cold sea water, only slightly cool and sticky.

"What is the thing you want most?"

Just when Mo Ling was in a daze because of that wonderful feeling, he suddenly heard this sentence.

The voice was clear and gentle.

It's an elf!

Mo Ling looked quickly and found an elf looking expectantly at an Oasis City resident hiding under a park bench.

"What do you want most?" The same voice sounded from the dark depths.

An identical elf was floating on the rocks at the bottom of the sea, asking the woman who was squatting beside the rocks and shivering.

Looking at the woman who had no influence in the deep sea, Mo Ling suddenly realized that she was a resident of Oasis City who was trapped in the illusion of history!

It seemed that because he was standing at the intersection of rainbow light, there was a problem with the illusion structure of the mirage, allowing Mo Ling to see those moving people.

"Don't lie." The elves on both sides warned at the same time.

"Okay, okay." Both of them agreed fearfully.

Sure enough, the elf did not disappear, but was hidden. Sealing the fountain had no effect on it.

However, the current elf seems to be still following its duties as a wishing fountain and constantly asking residents for their wishes.

"Does it keep granting wishes?"

During this time when the mirage spread, perhaps the elf fulfilled the wishes of many people in places where other Mo Ling could not see.

And there seems to be no limit to who can fulfill wishes. Whether it is a child or an adult, the elf will accept everyone.

Under the urging of the elf, the shivering woman hiding by the rocks said tremblingly: "I want to escape from here."

She probably didn't know that this was a virtual image caused by mirage, but she just felt like she was being pulled into some weird space.

Upon hearing the woman's "wishes", the elf's face instantly turned cold.

"You're lying! This isn't what you really want."

"What you really want is for the companion who accompanied you to the second floor of the abyss to be resurrected. He died in the mission because he saved you. Your heart is suffering. This is what you desire most. You even think about it in your dreams. this matter."

"Why did you lie to me?"

The elf's tone was cold and calm. As it spoke, the woman also shed tears and murmured: "Stop talking, stop talking..."

But her soft pleas had no effect, and the elf continued to chant: "You want to live happily in the oasis city with him and hang out in the park with him."

"You want to watch old movies before the Cataclysm in the Oasis City Cinema with him, and you want to eat delicious food that is not found on earth together."

"I want to watch the first ray of sunlight on the second floor of the abyss with him at the Oasis City monitoring tower. I want to lie at home with him and watch the sunset outside the window."

"I want to hold his hand and stand on the high wall overlooking the entire beautiful oasis."

"I want both of them to find a job where they will no longer go out and spend the rest of their lives peacefully in the oasis city..."

The woman was already in tears, but the elf still had no mercy.

"Why lie?"
