I'm trapped in a cube

In the loneliness, Li Luo slowly opened his eyes.

The intersecting tracks disappeared completely, and there was endless darkness in front of him.

"Is this already under the abyss?"

There was no sunlight, only the diamond ring on his chest was still emitting colorful light.

But in this dark environment, this weak light could not work.

Li Luo rubbed his head and sat up from the ground.

The ground here seemed to be all fine sand. Li Luo's action of supporting the floor made her palms covered with sand. She clapped her hands again to get rid of all the sand.

With the help of the weak light, Li Luo opened her backpack and took out the lighting she had prepared long ago.

She immediately looked around, and the nearby area was all flat sand, and everything seemed normal.

However, she found something wrong in an instant.

"Where is the iron block?"

After looking around, the block was indeed gone.

Li Luo immediately stood up anxiously, holding the lighting equipment to check around, but couldn't find the cube. The shining lamppost swayed on the dark sand and shone into the sky.

Empty, the cube was indeed gone...

Not only that, after she shone like this, the surrounding sand suddenly began to vibrate, as if something was swimming underground.

Just as Li Luo was looking at the ground curiously, a voice suddenly came from behind:

"Turn off the lights!"

It was a very pleasant female voice, sounding like a mature lady.

"It's a human..." Hearing the familiar language, Li Luo immediately realized that the person standing behind her was a human, so she immediately turned off the lighting equipment in her hand and held her breath.

After the light disappeared, the vibration under the ground suddenly slowed down.

In the darkness, Li Luo heard the person behind her slowly approaching her.

Then, he almost hit her back.

"Sorry, I can't see."

The rapid breathing sounded in Li Luo's ears, and the exhaled breath even blew on Li Luo's neck.

In this darkness where nothing can be seen, other senses become extremely sharp.

Li Luo turned around and was about to speak when he heard the man whispered:

"You just came to the fifth floor, right?"

Hearing the question, Li Luo nodded, and then realized that the other party might not see it, and quickly answered: "Yes."

"No wonder." The man breathed a sigh of relief: "Here, don't create light casually, it will attract other creatures."

"What creatures?" Li Luo asked.

"Many kinds, the ones just in the sand, they are all phototropic, and will specifically look for places with light to attack."

Is this the case? Li Luo was a little surprised.

In this lightless environment, creatures didn't abandon vision?

Generally speaking, if creatures stay in a lightless environment for a long time, their vision will degenerate, and conversely, their hearing or other perceptions will become sensitive, and they will also hunt based on hearing.

But the creatures here are actually phototropic...

"Without sunlight, won't their vision degenerate?" Li Luo asked curiously.

"Although there is no sunlight here, there are other lights, and on the fifth floor, the places covered by the light are all Feng Shui treasures, so they will not give up vision."

"I see..."

Li Luo realized that she still knew very little about the fifth floor, and it seemed that she needed to find a place to supplement the database.

Moreover, now that the cube was missing, she had to be more careful.

In this way, the two stayed in the same place for a long time at a very close distance.

Li Luo could still feel the other person's breathing, which was also very rapid and seemed very nervous, so Li Luo did not act rashly and just waited.

When the vibration under the sand completely disappeared, Li Luo heard the other person breathe a sigh of relief.

"Do you have night vision goggles?" the man suddenly asked.

"No."

"It doesn't matter if you don't have it. This place is very close to Hongguang City. I'll take you there." As he said that, the man took Li Luo's hand directly.

It was a very soft hand. Before Li Luo could react, he was held by the man and pulled her forward.

"Where are you from?"

"Pipeline Fortress." Li Luo replied indifferently.

However, what was unexpected was that when Li Luo said the four words "Pipeline Fortress", the hand holding her stiffened.

"Pipeline Fortress?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Li Luo noticed the strangeness of this person and asked.

"No, it's just that the official anchor of the Pipeline Fortress will not bring people to Hongguang City, so I was a little surprised... I remember that the anchor of the Pipeline Fortress will send people to Mengdu, which is the largest base built by humans on the fifth floor. Why did you choose to come to Hongguang City?"

"Because I want to solve the obsession." Li Luo replied.

"Obsession? You are not old, how can you have an obsession?"

"It's someone else's obsession."

"Okay..."

After the man understood Li Luo's purpose, he didn't continue to ask.

After walking for a while, the man suddenly squeezed Li Luo's hand.

"Do you see the blue light ahead?"

Li Luo looked forward quickly. In the endless dark land, there seemed to be a city with blue light, but the light seemed to be looming. After staring for a while, the light suddenly disappeared.

"Disappeared?" Li Luo asked in confusion.

"That's Rainbow Light City. To prevent the light from escaping, humans have built polarized protection at the edge of the city. The light in the city will only flash at certain times, and it will be dark the rest of the time."

"Why not block the light of the city completely?" Li Luo was puzzled.

"If the light is completely blocked, how can people outside find Rainbow Light City?"

"That's right..."

Li Luo immediately understood the intention of the polarized protection.

While thinking, the man suddenly squeezed Li Luo's hand.

"When you enter Rainbow Light City, remember not to say that you are here to solve the obsession..."

"Why?"

"Because..." The man suddenly interrupted halfway through the words and was silent for a moment: "Anyway, remember not to tell others, so as not to be targeted by certain people. There are not only humans there, but also other races, and those races are also eyeing humans."

Listening to this person's persuasion, Li Luo realized that Rainbow Light City was not as safe as she imagined.

The method to solve the obsession may also be unexpectedly complicated, and may even put her in danger.

A city built in darkness should not be so harmonious...

Li Luo secretly planned in her heart that she would observe carefully after entering the city and then decide what to do next.

Moreover, she had to find the cube first. Since the cube came with her, it must be somewhere else in Hongguang City.

If she could not solve the obsession on the pain-reducing tablet after entering Hongguang City, she would find other ways...

Just like that, the two of them did not speak again and walked farther and farther on the silent sand.

The fine sand was constantly thrown behind. In the darkness, Li Luo could hear the even breathing of the person and feel the pulse on her hand.

Li Luo suddenly became curious. Who was this lady who saved him?

"My name is Li Luo, from Dawn City."

"Huh? What a coincidence." The lady's voice was still very pleasant: "I am also from Dawn City. Do you know the Dawn City Welfare House? I used to be a teacher there. Later, the welfare house was demolished, and I became a hunter..."

"Lan Xin."

"My name is Lan Xin, Lan of orchid, heart of heart..."

"Nice to meet you, little girl..."
