I'm trapped in a cube

"How do I get to the fifth floor?"

Li Luo walked to a workbench in the square and asked.

It seems that people here are too busy to pay attention to her.

The busy staff asked Li Luo to take out the electronic screen, handed her a copy of the instructions, and then went back to their own affairs.

After passing the information, Li Luo walked aside and started checking it.

"The first step is to receive the synchronized crystal."

Simultaneous crystallization?

Li Luo followed the instructions and came to a crystal collection place.

After checking her qualifications, the staff at the collection office gave her a small crystal clear crystal.

Li Luo held it and looked at it for a while. The crystal looked very beautiful. What was strange was that when viewed from different angles, different colors could be seen. She had never seen a similar crystal before, so she held it in the air and stared at it for a long time.

But Mo Ling in the cube could see clearly that these crystals were the products of jelly compression. After the energy was released, the remaining compressed crystals were piped to the crystal collection point.

Of course, Mo Ling was also curious about the function of this crystal.

While looking at the strange crystal, Li Luo walked to the second location: the anchor receiving area.

"Do you already have an anchor?" asked the staff at the collection desk.

"Yes." Li Luo took out the exquisite little box.

The moment he saw the small box, the staff member said directly: "It's for Rainbow City, right? Then you don't need to collect it."

Li Luo held the box and was a little dazed.

"How did you see this?"

The staff member obviously just glanced at it, so how did he know that the anchor was going to Hongguang City?

She put the box away in confusion and left.

Next comes the third step, which is also the most important step mentioned in the guide - combining simultaneous crystallization and anchors.

This step can only be completed independently, because in the process of combination, the self and the combined product will be "fitted" together and be regarded as the same object.

Li Luo walked to the workbench specially used for assembly and placed the beautiful crystal and small box on the table.

Then, she carefully opened the delicate little box.

She was also curious about what was in the box.

Li Luo was ready to be shocked, but when she opened the box, she was still shocked by what was inside.

That's a diamond ring.

Li Luo instantly understood why the staff member just now could tell what it was at a glance.

"It turns out this box is a diamond ring box..."

In an era when artificial diamonds have become extremely developed, Li Luo has not seen a diamond ring box for a long time. This is something that can only be seen when visiting a museum.

A few decades ago, diamond rings were commonly used props when humans proposed marriage. With the advent of the abyss, pragmatism reached its peak. Under the impact of artificial diamonds, diamond rings have become an antique handicraft, and no one Then use diamonds as props for marriage proposals.

Li Luo looked at the diamond ring in the box carefully and saw the traces of time on it.

The carved gaps on the finger ring are already somewhat black.

This antique diamond ring may have been taken by someone, or it may have been regarded as a treasure by someone, but for some reason it has now ended up in the Pipe Fortress and has become an anchor to Rainbow City.

"Why is the anchor to Hongguang City a diamond ring?" Li Luo thought for a while, but couldn't figure it out.

Now, she has to personally put the diamond ring and the synchronized crystal together.

Following the instructions, she picked up the hammer on the tool table and carefully smashed the synchronized crystal into powder. Then she picked up some kind of liquid prepared on the work table and blended the powder into it.

After stirring evenly, Li Luo spread the liquid evenly on the diamond ring.

The strange thing is that the liquid that originally looked ordinary became sparkling after being blended into the powder. After being applied to the diamond ring, a shiny colorful film was also attached to the surface of the diamond ring.

Li Luo looked at the shining diamond ring, as if she saw many wonderful worlds in the light. She kept traveling and taking risks in those worlds, but she had no memory of these worlds at all.

After watching for a while, she came back to her senses from those colorful lights.

I took a deep breath, packed up the workbench, and waited for a while before the composition was complete.

After the liquid dried up, the colorful light on the diamond ring became even more dazzling.

In order to avoid being immersed in it again, Li Luo also put the diamond ring into the box again.

Once the composition is ready, it's time for the final step.

As long as you bring that combination to the designated area, you can enter the abyss.

Li Luo looked curiously at the designated area, which was a small compartment surrounded by pipes. There was nothing special inside.

She walked in curiously and chose a cubicle at random.

After entering the compartment, a clear mechanical sound suddenly sounded, startling Li Luo.

"Please show your qualifications."

Li Luo took out the electronic screen. The pipe on the side of the compartment circled around Li Luo's head and then retracted.

"Please make sure everything you want to bring is in the compartment."

Hearing this, Li Luo looked at the cube behind him and replied: "OK."

There was silence in the cubicle for a while, and the voice came again:

"If you're ready, put on the assembled anchors."

Hearing the request from the mechanical voice, Li Luo was a little unresponsive.

Wear the anchor? Should I wear the diamond ring?

After a moment of hesitation, Li Luo carefully took out the diamond ring box.

The diamond ring was still flashing colorful light, and Li Luo took it out of the diamond ring box.

"Are you ready?" She suddenly turned her head and asked Fangkuai.

Fangkuai trembled and moved closer to Li Luo.

She looked at the diamond ring, as if she was thinking about which finger to wear it on.

She had put the diamond ring on her fingertips, but Li Luo hesitated again. She suddenly had a strange feeling: she shouldn't wear this diamond ring.

Moreover, the size of the diamond ring seemed to be incompatible with any of her fingers. It was either too big or too small.

After thinking for a while, Li Luo took out a rope from his luggage and strung the colorful diamond ring.

"This should be OK..."

Li Luo slowly put the diamond ring on his neck.

After putting on the diamond ring, Li Luo actually felt a sense of comfort, and then she closed her eyes unconsciously.

The warm feeling surrounded her, just like being in her mother's swaddling clothes.

The diamond ring seemed to have a familiar breath, and Li Luo's memories kept surging, and she remembered the things when she played with her mother when she was a child.

"Is this my mother's diamond ring?"

Li Luo recalled the vague past and wanted to find traces of the diamond ring, but how could she care about her mother's fingers when she was young? The yellowed memory slowly faded, and she couldn't find the answer at all.

Even her mother's appearance was a little unclear, let alone the diamond ring.

"But why is it so familiar?"

Was it when she was holding me in her arms, that finger touched me?

The mother gently patted the baby, and the diamond ring also gently touched the soft skin, and the baby also remembered that special feeling...

"But how can the baby remember the feeling of the diamond ring? How can he recognize which diamond ring it is?"

Doubts and familiarity appeared alternately in Li Luo's heart.

Contradictions and coincidences are constantly intertwined and overlapped.

The synchronized tracks fit each other, but are completely unrelated.

Li Luo keeps jumping between the intertwined tracks, passing through the interconnected time and space, as if she sees her mother, and as if she sees herself in the cradle.

Those figures that are exactly the same as her shuttle through different worlds. They are all Li Luo, but they are different.

The invisible track connects those things that have never been in contact, and the colorful light on the diamond ring flashes the sparks of their collision.

The familiar nursery rhyme sounded in Li Luo's ears again...

She was startled and opened her eyes.

In front of her, there was endless darkness.
