I'm trapped in a cube

Hu Le searched in his memory, but couldn't remember where this nephew came from.

"Forget it, let's just ask directly..."

He walked up and sent a friend request to the person who claimed to be his nephew.

However, his request was like a stone sinking into the sea, without a response. In this building where data comes and goes, he couldn't find the exact location of the nephew, which meant that he could only continue to wait.

But Hu Le, who had been waiting for twenty years, didn't want to wait any longer.

He knew that if he missed this opportunity, he didn't know when he would be able to contact the outside world. He was in the ocean of data, and everything around him was changing rapidly.

"We must find a way to contact this 'nephew'."

But how should we contact him?

At this time, the words that the team leader had said to him came to his mind...

"Dream!"

This nephew posted things about him on the Internet every day, and he must still be thinking about him!

After thinking about this, Hu Le sighed. He didn't expect that after 20 years, there are still people who miss him and argue with others for him on the Internet. Although Hu Le himself didn't know how this "nephew" came about, he knew that this was his only "relative" now.

"Since you miss me, let you meet me."

Thinking of this, Hu Le temporarily left the carrier, took the dream catcher, and began to "imagine".

Hu Le had seen the man's appearance in the Zhuang Zhou forum. As long as he thought about the man's face and the other party still missed him, he could enter the other party's dream.

A warm breeze blew, Hu Le felt his body lighten, and the surrounding scene changed.

"Uncle?" A surprised voice suddenly came.

Hu Le opened his eyes and found that the cheap nephew was standing in front of him.

The dream was successful.

"You, my nephew?" Hu Le looked at the strange nephew in front of him and asked.

"Yes, yes, I held you when I was a kid... No, that's not right, you held me when you were a kid! No, no, no, it was when I was a kid, you held me, I... you... this time it's right." The other party was very excited and spoke incoherently.

"I held you?" Hu Le's mind spun quickly, and finally locked onto a young face...

"Are you Xiao Qi?"

Most of the residents in Mengdu are homebodies, not to mention the residents of the research institute dormitory. They are very busy at work, and most of them go to bed early after returning to their residence, but Hu Le's neighbor is an exception.

The husband of the elder sister works in the research institute. She is alone with a little boy. She has nothing to do all day and is full of energy. She often comes to chat with Hu Le. The elder sister said that Hu Le looks like her biological brother, but unfortunately her biological brother died during the invasion of the abyss, and died in battle, so chatting with Hu Le feels like talking to her own brother, and she also asked the little boy to call Hu Le uncle.

That little boy is Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi was born in the abyss and had few peers, so he was very introverted. He played games with Hu Le since he was a child. He was also very interested in Hu Le's research notes and drawings, and often asked him questions. After a while, Hu Le tacitly accepted the existence of this cheap nephew and often played with this kid.

Unexpectedly, after twenty years, things have changed, and this "nephew" who appeared out of nowhere still misses him.

Hu Le had never figured out the identity of this nephew before.

He never thought that the real relatives were not relatives.

Twenty years ago, the kindness and companionship he released lasted for twenty years and finally flew back to his hands.

"You kid, why are you handing out my work permit everywhere?"

"I want to find you...Uncle, after you disappeared, no one played with me. I knocked on your door every day, but no one opened it, so I stole the key from the dormitory manager and went in to find you, but I couldn't find you. I asked the adults again, but they didn't tell me. At that time, I thought you were killed in the explosion during the experiment, because you kept telling me that dream gas is dangerous..."

Xiao Qi shed tears while talking.

Maybe it's because he feels that he can vent his emotions at will in dreams.

The words he said were messy, but they were his true feelings. In this illusory dream, the words he wanted to say were not stopped by reason, and they all gushed out...

In this lonely abyss, he had no friends, and the adults ignored him. It was Hu Le, his "uncle", who accompanied him through an interesting time. This "uncle" who was much older than him was also his only friend.

The days of his childhood have also become a treasure that he has always kept in his heart, and he always misses them.

As he grew up, he also knew the truth about his uncle's disappearance, but he did not give up. Instead, he looked for clues to the missing case through various channels.

He didn't know why he was so persistent, but the things in his childhood had always supported him. He also always believed that the missing "uncle" was not dead, but was just waiting for him somewhere.

"Uncle, I miss you so much. They didn't tell me where you were..."

Xiao Qi rushed up and hugged Hu Le, tears streaming down Hu Le's shoulders.

Hu Le didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only pat Xiao Qi on the back.

No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one book, one bar!

"You are a big guy now, why are you crying? Isn't it shameful?"

"What are you afraid of? I'm dreaming." Xiao Qi replied with a crying voice.

That's true. Only in dreams can adults release those emotions that have nowhere to go and become childish...

"Xiao Qi, come with me."

Hu Le patted Xiao Qi's shoulder, and Xiao Qi reluctantly let go of Hu Le.

"After waking up, you will forget our conversation, because there is no sound allowed in dreams. I will take you to a place, remember it."

Without waiting for Xiao Qi to respond, Hu Le grabbed Xiao Qi's hand and pressed the button of the dream catcher.

He took Xiao Qi to the Zhuang Zhou forum and found an empty room, which was an "empty post" that had not yet been occupied by post data.

Seeing that Xiao Qi had realized that he was dreaming and that the dream could not last long, Hu Le kicked Xiao Qi into the room.

"Remember this place! I will wait for you here!"

Hu Le shouted loudly. Although these words would be forgotten after Xiao Qi woke up, the road he walked in the dream could be transformed into another form and remain in Xiao Qi's subconscious, allowing him to find this place unconsciously.

And he just had to wait here...

Xiao Qi disappeared, and Hu Le re-entered the carrier and returned to this room.

Hu Le was still very worried, wondering if Xiao Qi's "worry" could support him to come here.

But soon, Hu Le realized that his worry was unnecessary.

Someone pushed open the door of the room and clicked on this "empty post" that no one would ever click on.

"I'm here."
