I'm trapped in a cube

"Where is this?"

Thoughts are slowly coming back to normal.

It remembers that it turned into debris all over the sky, wandering in the chaos.

But now, everything seems to be going backwards, and the vague thoughts are constantly condensing.

It noticed the changes around it, and the entropy worms attached to its body were disappearing one by one.

"Did the Eternal Thirst deceive me? Can they be killed?"

Or is it that something outside the system noticed this place...

It stretched its body with difficulty, and looked into the distance with its eyes that gradually recovered its vision.

"Are you all still there?" Seeing the small animals gathered here, a trace of warmth rose in its heart.

Not far away, Wenwen was playing with another group of black shadows.

"Wenwen has a friend? Is it another shadow?"

It was very relieved, because it had always protected Wenwen very well before, so it was worried that Wenwen would be very lonely after it left, but now it seems that Wenwen has made new friends.

Although it doesn't look like the relationship is very good, this is a good start...

"Everyone, all are here."

When they left, they stayed by its side, and when they returned, they were still there.

It quietly felt those expectant eyes, and its tendrils stretched out happily.

The holes that suddenly appeared one by one completely eliminated the entropy bugs on its body. The tendrils stretched out to the distance, and it also noticed the strange cube suspended in the debris.

"Is it helping me?"

Looking at the constantly appearing cube holes and the regular cubes, it finally determined that it was the seemingly inconspicuous cube that helped it.

"I have helped so many weak people, but I didn't expect that one day, it would be my turn to be protected by others."

The tendrils gradually regained their ability to move. It broke free from the constraints of the track and stretched out to the distance. First, it stroked the small animals surrounding it, and then stretched out to Wenwen.

Two tendrils of different colors met in the air and gently entangled together.

"Wenwen, you faded again, and became so black..."

"Black, beautiful." Wenwen said weakly.

"Is this your friend?" The vine pointed at the black shadow and asked.

"No, it's a bad thing..."

Wenwen hid behind the vine while saying this.

The black shadow looked at the two vines that looked very similar, and did not act rashly.

"Are you its master?" The black shadow asked directly.

"Master? Who is the master? When I exist, it exists. We were born together, grew together, felt the world together, tore the cracks together, and felt the synchronized trajectory together. All of this happened at the same time. We were completely synchronized. Even the jelly eyes could not see the difference. How could there be any distinction between the master and the subordinate..."

Listening to these familiar words, the black shadow shook his head helplessly: "You are indeed its master..."

The black shadow now understood that the crooked principles that Wenwen said were probably taught to it by the vine.

Even though the vines have disappeared for so long, Wenwen still remembers the principles that the vines taught it, remembers every word that the vines said, and is still the "shadow" under the light.

"Did Wenwen get into trouble?"

Looking at the helpless look of the black shadow, the vines probably guessed what happened.

"Not into trouble." The black shadow shook his head and told the vines what Wenwen had done.

Hearing that Wenwen treated the world in the book as a playground and made trouble everywhere, the vines felt a little ashamed.

"I will personally apologize to the Eternal Thirst and humans. This is my responsibility. I didn't discipline Wenwen well..."

"Eternal Thirst? It's probably gone."

The black shadow also guessed that the Eternal Thirst was probably the owner of the library.

However, it had been in the library for so long and had not seen any other creatures, nor had it seen any Eternal Thirst. Maybe it had left long ago.

"Really? The Eternal Thirst is gone? That's a pity..."

After learning that the Eternal Thirst was gone, the vines were very sorry.

In its eyes, the Eternal Thirst is one of its few good friends. He is not only powerful and knowledgeable, but also very friendly...

After learning about the black shadow's experience, the vines also promised it to send it back to the pipeline fortress.

After the conversation with the black shadow, the vines stretched out again, crossed the void, and came to the suspended cube...

"Thank you."

The vines bent and thanked the cube.

Originally, it was still a little unsure whether it was the cube that saved it, but after coming to the cube, it felt a familiar trace.

That was the trace of pulling the synchronization rate, which is the only way to indirectly sense the entropy worms.

Decompose different synchronous orbits, capture the fluctuations belonging to the entropy worms, and then find the location of the entropy worms, which is also the premise for killing them.

The cube did not answer, so the vines stretched out eagerly and asked: "How did you kill those entropy worms?"

The cube still did not answer.

"..."

"Have you killed them all?"

"How did you find the power outside the system?"

The vine was very curious and asked several questions in a row, but the cube still floated quietly in the air. The knowledgeable vine quickly guessed the reason -

This cube can't talk.

The vine has traveled to many worlds and has seen many creatures that cannot communicate, so it is very experienced in this.

"Anyway, thank you. I thought those entropy bugs would eat me to death, but I didn't expect that I would have a chance to be rescued."

The tendrils stretched out relaxedly. It was extremely grateful that one day it was "protected" by others. Its consciousness had just returned from the chaos, and it was still a little bit unbelievable that this was real.

The experience in the disorder was like a bizarre dream, which made it unable to recover for a long time.

"Although I don't know if it's true, but... there seems to be another world in the disorder..."

"I feel that my body, my thoughts, and my self have been cut into square blocks, slowly dispersing from the original gathering position and flying in different directions."

"Those blocks are meaningful, just like..."

"Just like words representing different meanings..."

"Yes, that's right... words, just like what the Eternal Thirst said, we are all aggregates composed of words in the system, showing different characteristics and properties in an orderly situation, but in a disordered situation, we are a group of words without any meaning."

"Each word has meaning, but they are out of order and incomprehensible, scattered on the books that no one reads, surrounded by endless blanks..."

"We are the body The transcendents outside the system give meaning, and become real things under their eyes. "

"The same us will be given different meanings under different eyes, switching between order and disorder, connecting those intertwined tracks..."

"I don't know if it's a track or something else, but it feels very similar to a track, and it's also like the connection between me and those little animals. Countless eyes are connected through some medium or bond. That bond involves us and those transcendents. All living beings that come into contact with those basic words cannot escape and are connected together..."

The vines froze in mid-air again, hesitating:

"Is that feeling real or fake? Maybe I think too much, don't take it too seriously, just listen, don't take it to heart..."

"After all, they are watching too."
