I'm trapped in a cube

"You said, it's called Big Eyes?"

"Yes."

Xi told Li Luo about Big Eyes' origins, and told Li Luo that he had cured it, and that Big Eyes might have important information now.

After explaining to Li Luo, Xi turned around, stroked Big Eyes' head, and said gently: "Big Eyes, can you tell me what happened here? Why did you become like that?"

After hearing Xi's question, Big Eyes shrank his head in fear again, as if he didn't want to recall what happened.

"Where did Poker go?" Xi asked.

Big Eyes lowered his head, looking very scared.

Seeing Big Eyes' reaction, Xi also knew that asking like this would definitely not get an answer, so he could only keep making assumptions.

"Did Poker abandon you?"

"Or did he leave you here and go deeper into the maze?"

"Or, did he encounter danger?"

When he said the last guess, Xi saw Big Eyes tremble obviously.

"Poke is in danger? What danger?"

"Woo..." Big Eyes answered cautiously.

"Captured? Were you also captured and brought here?" Xi asked.

"Woo~ woo~" Big Eyes cried out in grievance, and peeked over Xi's body at the black rabbit that Li Luo was holding.

Xi turned around, looked at the black rabbit, and then looked at Big Eyes.

He understood that Poker and Big Eyes were both captured in the maze by those black balls, but those rabbits obviously couldn't do such a thing, and they could only run away.

Xi pondered for a moment and had a guess: Could it be those giants?

"Did those giants capture you?" Xi immediately asked Big Eyes.

After hearing this question, Big Eyes immediately shrank his body and trembled.

"Sure enough...it's those giants."

Xi turned his head and confirmed with Li Luo: "What does the signal transmitted by the beacon indicate?"

Li Luo was stunned and replied: "It is said that there may be a kind of pollution on the Huasheng Islands, which will distort the character of the doctor. The doctor will think that the patient will never be cured, and then keep the patient until they feel healed..."

Hearing this answer, Xi asked Da Yan again: "Who cured you, was it another doctor?"

"Woo."

"No? Was it those giants?"

"Woo."

"No? Who is it then?" Xi was even more confused. It was neither a doctor nor those black ball aggregates. Could there be something else?

Now it seems that Da Yan's condition is probably not good enough to ask anything. He can only wait until his condition is more stable before continuing to ask.

"Da Yan, follow me, okay? I'll take you to find your master." Xi gently touched Da Yan's head and asked gently.

"Woo." Da Yan rubbed Xi's hand and shrank to his side.

Xi patted it helplessly, and said to Li Luo apologetically: "I didn't find out anything..."

"It doesn't matter." Li Luo glanced around: "Go further in, maybe we can find other clues."

"Okay."

Seeing that Big Eyes was still hiding behind him in fear, Xi said to it gently: "Big Eyes, don't be afraid, just follow me, follow closely."

Hearing this, Big Eyes also hummed and agreed.

"Let's continue."

Li Luo led the crazy kicking rabbit and walked into a gap.

And Big Eyes was still very afraid of the rabbit and kept hiding behind Xi. It was obvious that he still had a deep shadow in his heart about those black ball polymers.

While walking, Xi was also thinking about the purpose of those giants.

Is Big Eyes captured here just for that kind of strange healing?

Why is the power of medicine permeating this maze?

Where did the doctors go?

Xi followed Li Luo through the maze of black walls. He always felt that there was a connection between them, but he could not find a breakthrough.

Xi was still thinking, and Li Luo suddenly stopped in front of a passage.

"What's wrong?" Xi asked curiously.

Li Luo said nothing, just looked at the rabbit he was holding. The rabbit was still kicking its legs and sprinting forward, and then it was pulled back by the rope that Xiao Zi turned into. It seemed that everything was normal.

But...

"We have been here before." Li Luo said with certainty.

"How do you know?" Xi asked puzzledly. He looked around. There were identical black walls and gaps everywhere, and he couldn't tell whether he had been here before.

Moreover, he had left marks along the way before, but there were no marks here now.

"I used to leave stones as markers at every fork in the road, but there are none here. How do you know we have been here?"

Li Luo shook his head and took out the electronic screen from his pocket.

"Look, this is the route we took, it overlaps."

Xi leaned forward to take a look. There was a zigzag line drawn on the electronic screen. Although there was no map, Xi could still recognize part of it. This was the track they had just taken.

However, there were several intersections on the track now, indicating that they had been to the same place before.

And this location now was also an intersection.

Xi was stunned. Obviously all the forks were marked, why did they come to the same location but did not see any marks?

"When did you find it?" Xi asked in surprise.

"Not long after entering the maze..." Li Luo explained: "As soon as I entered the maze, I turned on the route record. I would take it out and look at it every once in a while, and then I found that we often passed through repeated places. Although these places look completely different, they are indeed the same location."

"At first I thought there was something wrong with the equipment, so I just turned my head back." Li Luo pointed to the passage in front and said: "This used to be a square, an empty square, but after turning back, it changed and became a passage."

"Follow me..."

Li Luo took Xi through the passage, walked through the gap, and came to a new square.

"There was no square here before." Li Luo pointed to the route track on the electronic screen and said.

"Look, this is a very straight line, which means we just passed through a passage..."

Li Luo turned his head and said to Xi solemnly: "We have walked back many times and passed many repeated places, but we have been circling in this area."

"Since we came to this area, the width of the road has not changed, which means we have not entered deeper."

After listening to Li Luo's judgment, Xi was stunned. He had never thought that the scene in the maze would change, so the mark he just made was useless.

"Where is this rabbit? Is it taking us around in circles? Is this a trap set for us by those black ball aggregates, intending to make us lost in the maze?" Xi pointed at the rabbit and asked puzzledly.

Li Luo shook his head: "No, the path it leads is correct, so we can find the entrance to the maze and enter the depths, but..."

"Now our speed of advancement is not as fast as the speed at which the maze changes. Although we are always moving forward, once the maze changes, the original correct path will become a dead end, so the rabbit can only turn and head for the new correct path, but before we reach the new path, the maze will change again."

"So, it will always lead us around in circles in the maze, always heading for the 'correct' path, but we will never reach it..."
