I'm trapped in a cube

The shadow has been following the vine, accompanying it and seeing the myriad worlds.

Wherever the vine goes, whether it is a sea of ​​clouds in the mountains or a deep rift, it follows, and the shadow's figure becomes more and more solid.

It can already drill out of the ground freely and become the appearance of a vine.

During the journey, the vine also got used to the existence of the shadow.

The vine had no companion to communicate with, so it kept mumbling to the shadow all day long, and the shadow listened carefully, although it did not understand what it meant.

At the same time, as time went by, the vine grew bigger and bigger. When its main body came to some places, it would even completely cover the entire sky. In order to prevent riots, the vine could only hide its main body and continue to explore the world with its accompanying tendrils.

Fortunately, it became more and more proficient in the use of the synchronization rate jelly, and its travel became more and more stable, and its speed became faster and faster.

But one day, when the vine was about to continue to pass through the jelly to another world, it was stopped by the shadow.

To be precise, it was not stopped, but blocked. The shadow wanted to pass through the same passage at the same time as it.

Two tendrils of different colors stopped in midair...

The vine retracted its tendrils, and the black tendrils also retracted. It slowly stretched out, and the black tendrils also stretched out.

After several times, the vine also understood the shadow's idea.

"Do you want to travel together?"

The shadow did not answer, but just froze in midair and paused for a long time.

"Do you want to travel together?" The shadow suddenly said the same thing to the vine.

"Are you imitating me too?"

Although the shadow was still imitating the vine, the vine was very happy because this was the first time the shadow "responded" to it.

In the past, the shadow was very dull, and the imitation was always a step behind, and there was no response to its inquiry.

Now, it felt for the first time that the shadow was a "living thing".

The way for the young of organisms to understand the world is to imitate, imitate the behavior of adult organisms, imitate the language heard, and imitate the actions that interact with it.

The shadow imitated the language, which means that it has realized that this is a "way of communication", but it does not know what this language means, so it can only imitate clumsily.

If you imitate more, you will gradually understand the meaning of this language.

"This is a good start." The vines are very pleased.

Not only that, the vines also found that the color of the shadow has changed.

It seems that it is not so dark...

...

"You replaced your master, right?" The voice of the black shadow suddenly came: "You killed it? No... How could the shadow kill the master? Did you use any other method to kill it?"

The black shadow's questioning was not answered. The voice seemed unwilling to entangle with the black shadow, but the black shadow was aggressive and continued to ask:

"Isn't the shadow aware that he is a shadow? Why are you so clear?"

"How did you wake up?"

"Is it dead or not? Did you do it?"

The voice of the black shadow fell into the deep darkness.

The smoke kept wrapping around the wriggling black tendrils, but the tendrils seemed very slippery. With a slight twist, they retreated.

"Don't hide!"

"Watch out! The third move - Stealing the sky and changing the day!"

As the shadow shouted, all the black smoke solidified instantly, and then suddenly exploded. The colorful light from the outside world suddenly pierced the darkness and filled every gap in the shadow...

...

"You have color now, and it seems not so dark anymore..." the vine said to the shadow.

"Not so dark anymore..." the shadow muttered in a daze, as if he understood what the vine meant.

"Do you want to travel with me? I have been traveling alone for so long. Although everyone's eyes follow me, I am still quite lonely." The vine was a little embarrassed.

"Lonely?" The shadow muttered blankly.

"Yes, lonely, they just watch me from a distance on the synchronous track, and can't talk to me."

"Talk."

"Yes, talk, just like what we are doing now..."

The vine gently tapped on the dark tendrils.

"If you want to travel with me, don't go through the same passage with me. Wait until I pass, then you can catch up, slowly."

"Slowly?"

"Yes, slowly."

The vine didn't know if Shadow understood what it meant, so it swung its tendrils and reached out to the jelly.

The shadow was imitating hurriedly at first, but it seemed to understand what the vine meant in an instant, slowed down its movements, and followed behind the vine. The two of them passed through the jelly one after the other, very tacitly.

"You understand what I mean."

"I understand."

"If you want to follow me in the future, do it like now, understand?"

"I understand."

Seeing that Shadow's answers were getting smoother and smoother, the vine was also very happy. It finally had a companion to communicate with.

However, it was still very curious about Shadow's origins.

"What kind of creature are you?"

"Creature?" Shadow didn't understand what the vine meant at all.

Seeing Shadow's ignorant look, the vine gave up asking.

"Since you don't know, I'll ask for you. Anyway, the journey is still going on..."

"Ask."

"Yes, ask... What's your name?"

"Ask."

"Okay, I'll ask you to ask..."

Since then, Vine has had a companion in its journey, and it has also had a new purpose: to find out the origin of "Asking".

However, after traveling for a long time, Vines could not find any information about asking.

Until, Vine met a race that calls itself "Eternal Thirst"...

"Hand over all your knowledge." After meeting, the Eternal Thirst directly stated his request to the vine.

"Okay." Vine agreed happily. He didn't think this was a very offensive thing. Knowledge can be shared with each other, and there is no "exclusiveness". Since the Ever-Thirst needs it, then give it to them. alright.

"In exchange, you can ask us any questions." The Eternal Thirst had never encountered such a "generous" robbery target, so he made a good offer to Vine.

"I want to know its origin." Vine pointed at it and asked.

"make a deal."

…

After extracting the knowledge of Vine, the Eternal Thirst gave the asked racial information to Vine.

"Cong Ying? What a strange race."

"If you still have knowledge in the future, you can continue to look for us. Our library will always be open to you, and we will keep your knowledge confidential..." The Ever Thirsty left after making a promise to the vines.

"What a friendly race." Vine sighed: "If only other races were like the Eternal Thirst, the world would definitely be very peaceful..."
