I'm trapped in a cube

Zhou Chao was still thinking about where Li Luo was going when he suddenly heard the voice say to him, "It's our turn."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Before he could ask, he was dragged into the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness.

He felt like he was thrown into a drum washing machine, turning over and over, with light spots shaking around him, and the blue and red interweaving light made his consciousness fall into a coma again.

When Zhou Chao woke up again, he had been sent to the edge of the sea of ​​consciousness, where he could clearly see the transparent glass sphere, and he was only one step away from the edge of the glass.

"You're awake, look outside, that's the consciousness hole." The familiar voice reminded.

Zhou Chao immediately looked and found that there was a huge block standing in the sky outside the glass ball. The block was even bigger than the sea of ​​consciousness, like a black hole, swallowing all the light.

A dazzling galaxy extended from the edge of the glass ball to the huge block, but as soon as the galaxy touched the edge of the block, it was completely sucked into it by the block and disappeared.

"What is that?"

Zhou Chao looked at the galaxy carefully and found that it was actually countless flowing light spots, which rushed towards the black hole in an attempt to fill the gap in consciousness.

After seeing all this clearly, Zhou Chao's consciousness light spot burst into a violent red light.

"You are going to die!"

An irrepressible fear emerged in his consciousness, and the red light spread along the surrounding light spots.

However, this time, there seemed to be no other light spots to share his fear. The reverberating red light could not be calmed for a long time, but it became more and more intense.

"Alas~" A helpless sigh came, full of disappointment and loneliness.

"You see, we still can't unite together. Selfishness will cause all consciousness to fall into destruction..."

"What does this have to do with selfishness?" Zhou Chao asked anxiously.

"The void of consciousness is like an abyss. Every consciousness that enters it is like an explorer entering the abyss. There is only endless darkness and silence around, and the connection of consciousness is their only connection. Only by holding hands can the entire abyss be filled."

"If you are unwilling to connect with other consciousnesses, you will only get lost in the abyss and perish in the endless darkness and silence."

The voice is still telling the importance of mutual connection.

However, it is already extremely lonely at this time. Looking at the galaxy pouring into the black hole of the cube, it has long lost hope.

"Why do we have to fill that void?" Zhou Chao asked puzzledly.

"It's not that we want to fill that void, but the void wants to swallow us. We who can't empathize will only be eliminated one by one. The void of consciousness is an absolute low-pressure area. The sea water of consciousness will definitely flow to the lower place. It is inevitable."

As the voice spoke, a wave suddenly surged up in the sea of ​​consciousness, slapping Zhou Chao towards the direction of the galaxy.

He had nowhere to escape, and was drawn into the galaxy that went straight to the void, following countless points of light, heading towards the dark cube black hole.

Behind him was the dazzling sea of ​​​​starry consciousness, and in front of him was the abyss of consciousness full of darkness and silence. Zhou Chao wanted to escape immediately, but how could he go upstream in the river?

The surrounding light points also flashed a dazzling red light.

This time, the fear could not be shared, but resonated in the galaxy.

The ripples of fear continued to echo in the torrent of consciousness, and Zhou Chao also heard those desperate voices.

"Dead...dead..."

"I haven't tried other bodies yet, it's over."

"Stars, goodbye."

"Why can't you empathize with me? It would be great if you could die instead of me. I'm so scared..."

These consciousnesses made noisy sounds, and Zhou Chao was also infected by the fear in them, and his heart became more and more panicked.

However, he still did not choose to let go of his guard.

Looking at the black hole getting closer and closer, Zhou Chao recalled an event in the past.

That was when he just got the Holy Sword...

...

Zhou Chao was not the owner of the Holy Sword at first. Although he knew it was a relic, he could not use it.

At that time, the Holy Sword was just an ordinary stone sword. It had no function except being a little harder.

After getting this relic on the first floor of the abyss, Zhou Chao had been studying its usage, but he had no idea. Zhou Chao was unwilling to give up this hard-won relic, so he could only carry it with him.

At that time, Zhou Chao was still following other teams on the first floor to collect points. Although he had obtained the relic, he still had a lot of points to go. Most of the members in the team were like this, so they chose more difficult tasks.

However, if you walk by the river often, you will get your shoes wet. Once, the team accidentally fell into the "Death Swamp".

It was a very terrible curse. Once you fall into this curse, you will be attacked by various spirits until you die, and then you can get out of the Death Swamp.

The cursed person will feel that his body is sinking into the mud and see evil spirits that others cannot see.

Zhou Chao's team did not know how to trigger the curse. When they found out, the whole team was already trapped in the deadly swamp.

Except for Zhou Chao... He escaped because he was packing his luggage at the back.

When they caught up with the team, their teammates were already covered in black mud and were fighting invisible enemies.

"Zhou Chao, knock us out and send us back to the monitoring station!" his teammates shouted to him.

This is a way to deal with the dead swamp.

As long as you faint, you won't see the evil spirits everywhere, and you won't be attacked by those spirits.

If the monitoring station happens to have some kind of relic that can make people "fake death", it can make people escape from the dead swamp and lift the curse.

Hearing his teammates' words, Zhou Chao was about to step forward, but stopped when he was about to approach his teammates.

"I can't get close to you, the curse will spread."

"It's okay! The source of the curse has left!" his teammates shouted to him.

However, Zhou Chao didn't believe his teammates' words. These temporary teams often made up lies to survive.

These teammates may have told Zhou Chao that the source of the curse had left in order to let him save them.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chao immediately asked what the source of the curse was, but his teammates were already in a bitter battle with the spirits, and no one responded to him.

Zhou Chao was struggling in his heart. He felt that he shouldn't abandon his teammates, but he was worried that his teammates were lying and put himself in danger.

Just like that, he stood there blankly, struggling in his heart.

Finally, he threw the holy sword to his teammates, and then ran to the nearby monitoring station for help.

This was the best way he could think of, which would not put himself in danger, and his teammates would have a higher chance of survival.

However, when he returned to the battlefield with the reinforcements from the monitoring station, all his teammates had fallen unconscious on the ground, and mud was constantly flowing out of their nostrils and mouths.

These team members were quickly sent back to the medical area of ​​the monitoring station.

After the rescue of the monitoring station, most of the teammates came back to life, but several team members never woke up.

Zhou Chao stood outside the medical area of ​​the monitoring station panting, and the cries for help from those teammates seemed to come from all around.

"Where is the source of the curse?" He stopped the researcher at the monitoring station and asked.

The researcher shook his head and said he didn't know.

Zhou Chao didn't hear the answer he wanted.

Whether his teammates lied or not became a mystery.

Until he returned to the monitoring station, Zhou Chao was in a daze.

A family member of a dead team member pulled his collar and yelled:

"Why didn't you save them! If you knocked them out in time, they wouldn't die! If you were cursed, would you want your teammates to flee? Don't you feel the same way?"

The angry family member was quickly pulled away by the guards at the monitoring station.

"I'm sorry..."

"Did I do something wrong?" Zhou Chao asked the guard puzzledly.

"Of course not, the family member is too excited, please forgive me."

The guard turned around and went to comfort the family member.

Zhou Chao looked at the angry eyes of the family member, and a severe tinnitus came to his ears.

The guard seemed to be saying something like "feel the same way" and "put yourself in the other's shoes", trying to make the family member understand Zhou Chao's approach.

However, Zhou Chao couldn't hear clearly.

The buzzing in his ears made him lose all his ability to think.

The holy sword in his hand shone, but Zhou Chao didn't feel any joy.

People were coming and going in the monitoring station. Some people hurried by, busy with their own things, some looked over here curiously, and some turned and left after cursing "What a crap" a few times.

Such things happen from time to time in the abyss. It's just that a few people died. What's so strange about it?

People are like distant stars, always indifferent to distant things.
