I'm trapped in a cube

"Be careful." the elf reminded.

When Mo Ling came to the crack, she did not put the Coke can in first, but first touched the edge of the water flow with her fingertips.

However, what surprised him was that his fingers could only feel the cold water, and there was no impact at all.

"what happened?"

I carefully put my fingers into the water, but still felt the same.

"No impact?"

Mo Lingxin suddenly moved and slowly put his hand into the turbulent sea water. The sea water seemed to hit a hard stone, separated into two parts, and went around.

But Mo Ling still didn't feel any impact.

His hand seemed to be fixed in the sea water.

This reminded Mo Ling of the hard beds and bodies on the 0th floor of the dreamland.

how so?

In surprise, Mo Ling walked directly into the seawater and split the water flow into two halves with his body.

But I still didn't feel any power on my skin, only an icy cold feeling, which was the touch of sea water.

"It seems I don't need to worry about you." The elf also said in surprise.

The Coke can was firmly held in Mo Ling's hand and was not washed away by the sea water.

Although the water flow is so violent, why does it feel so calm?

Mo Ling just flew towards the crack, even crossed the crack, and came to a piece of blue sea water.

The sun shines through the sea, making the water sparkling.

Because of the existence of the crack, a rotating whirlpool appeared on the sea surface, and the water flow converged into the center of the whirlpool.

Mo Ling turned around and could see the sky on the other side of the crack.

He actually came to the other side of the crack so easily.

When he approached the crack and saw the raging sea water, Mo Ling thought it would be very difficult to put the Coke can into the sea, but he didn't expect that he could do it easily.

"Okay, open the Coke can." The elf's voice sounded surprised. It probably didn't expect Mo Ling to be so relaxed.

Mo Ling picked up the Coke can, pulled the tab open, and let the dark Coke inside flow into the sea.

At the same time, a golden light flew out along with the overflowing cola.

Coke was quickly swept away by the current, leaving only the golden light, which rotated in the air for a moment and turned into a human shape.

The human figure was actually very similar to Mo Ling, with a vague figure.

The strangest thing is that this golden humanoid also has a square on its head, just like a golden copy of Mo Ling.

"How did you become like this?"

The elf spread his hands: "The characteristics of our race, whoever releases them will look like whoever they are. The genie of Aladdin's lamp also looks like a human, right?"

Hearing this, Mo Ling was shocked: "The djinn is also from your clan?"

The elf nodded: "Yes, it is much more powerful than me. It can grant three wishes at once, and the price is much simpler."

Before Mo Ling had time to digest this shocking secret, he saw the elf that had turned into a human form flying towards the crack.

"You go back first, I will deal with this crack." After observing the expanding crack for a while, the elf turned to Mo Ling and said.

"What are you going to do about it?"

"Seal it." The elf said seriously: "If this crack continues to expand, it will affect the safety of Oasis City, and may even affect the entire second floor of the abyss."

It turns out that the elf asked Mo Ling to take it to the sea for the sake of Oasis City.

"The wish to protect is not over yet."

The elf gently repeated someone's wish:

"I like to drink beer alone on the rooftop, look at the brilliant starry sky, and count the stars in the sky. The starry sky that people see on the earth is exactly the same as the one seen in the abyss, right? I hope that such relaxing days will come in the future. It can happen often."

The elf looked at Mo Ling and said firmly: "As long as this crack exists, the starry sky that people in Oasis City see will be different from the earth."

"This starry sky is also one of the objects of protection."

"..."

After listening, the two square heads looked at each other speechlessly.

for a long time.

Mo Ling nodded and flew toward the crack.

When passing by the elf, Mo Ling couldn't help but ask: "How do you plan to seal this crack?"

"Don't worry." The elf said easily: "As long as you make a wish, there is nothing that cannot be fulfilled. I will do it myself this time."

As it spoke, it lit a beam of golden light with its hand and hit it on the edge of the crack.

The crack that was hit disappeared instantly.

Seeing this scene, Mo Ling nodded in relief.

"Aren't you going back?"

"No, it's time for me to find my wish."

"My wish?" Mo Ling was a little confused.

"Yes." The elf replied seriously: "Do you still remember that I once asked you, will I be happy in the future?"

Mo Ling thought for a while and found out that the elf had indeed asked. That was when he went deep into the virtual image of history and just encountered it.

"I later figured out that even if I turned someone else's wish into my own, I wouldn't be happy because it belongs to someone else after all."

"The process of realizing a wish is also part of the wish."

"Since I became conscious, I have been living for the wishes of others and continuing the obsessions of others. In essence, there is no difference between me and the Shell Man."

"Save, protect, love... are all other people's obsessions. These wishes give me the so-called 'independent thought'. In fact, I am just a 'common wish'."

"Everything I do is a choice guided by this false 'independent thought'. While I control my wishes, I am also trapped by them."

"This is my price."

"There's no escaping the cost."

The elf looked at Mo Ling and said very seriously:

"I want to try and let go of these desires that have trapped me, to get rid of all the obsessions that I've gotten caught up in."

"Break free from this prison called desire."

"After that, I will find my own desire."

"Then, make it happen."

Mo Ling was extremely shocked as he listened to the elf's words.

What will become of a wish-granting race that abandons its wishes?

He couldn't imagine...

I had so many thoughts, but in the end I just turned into a wish: "I hope you can succeed."

"Thanks."

The elf raised his hand, as if he wanted to give Mo Ling a high-five.

Mo Ling was stunned for a moment and clapped his hand up, but it came up empty.

The palm passed through the golden light and felt nothing.

"Snapped!"

The elf jokingly added a voice and waved goodbye to Mo Ling.

The two square heads looked at each other, then turned their heads and passed each other.

"See you in the future."

"See you in the future..."

Mo Ling crossed the crack again and followed the water back to the sky.

Looking back.

On the other side of the crack, golden light flashed, and golden threads spread to the edge of the crack and began to repair it.

The huge crack began to shrink visibly to the naked eye, and the water flowing out became less and less.

Soon, the cracks became very small, and the sharp edges like broken glass became rounded.

The edge of the crack shimmered with golden light, but the repair speed also began to slow down at this time. It seemed that the smaller the crack, the harder it was to repair.

Eventually, the crack stuck in a strange shape.

That's an...olive.

The water flow seemed to be blocked by some force and never seeped out again.

Just like that, a blue olive with golden edges floated in the air.

Among the olives, blue waves rippled.

In a daze, Mo Ling seemed to see an endless sea through the blue olives, with countless marine creatures wandering in it.

Swim farther and farther, piercing the waves.

Swimming towards the infinite universe...
