I'm trapped in a cube

"They used a power to shrink themselves..."

"The reason why you can't find those heavenly soldiers is because it uses this ability."

"This is an ability from the 127th generation of survivors, called Distortion."

"The holder of the distortion can change the size of his body, but in the process of change, the body will be distorted, such as swelling of the head, shortening of limbs, bending of the torso, etc. These side effects will not cause any harm to the holder's body, but will affect the movement."

"As a human, changes in body shape will make movement difficult, so the holder of the distortion ability cannot use the ability excessively. They can only enlarge or shrink their bodies within a certain range and use the ability without affecting their mobility."

"But this side effect of affecting movement is almost non-existent for the Heavenly Soldiers. Their bodies are originally irregular, so no matter how distorted they are, it will not have any effect on them. They don't rely on their limbs to move, so the distortion of their bodies will not hinder their movement."

"Therefore, they can use their distortion ability to their heart's content, allowing their bodies to expand or shrink infinitely. After shrinking to a certain extent, you will of course not be able to see them. Although they have become smaller, they naturally have other detection capabilities to assist them, and they can still control the battle situation."

"Just now, they happened to fall at the location of the arch, so your attack destroyed all the heavenly soldiers at the same time."

"This is the price of shrinking. Once we are attacked in a wide area, we will be completely wiped out."

Listening to Wang Chuan's explanation, Mo Ling was extremely shocked. He really didn't expect that the heavenly soldiers would hide themselves in this way.

Shrinking is indeed a very difficult to detect hiding method.

But isn’t this side effect too great?

"Why did the Heavenly Soldier choose the distortion ability? Doesn't it have any other hidden abilities to use?" Mo Ling asked curiously.

"Of course there is." Wang Chuan replied calmly, "It's just that because it has never been discovered when it shrunk, it will keep using it. This is its iteration method. If a move has never failed, it will give priority to this move, even if the cost of this move being discovered is very high."

"Until a huge cost is incurred, the Heavenly Soldiers will not realize the drawbacks of this ability. They have always been like this. If there is no such cost in the database, it is assumed that there is no cost."

"What's more, it didn't just use the distortion ability, it also used other abilities as an aid, which made them even more difficult to detect."

"What ability?" Mo Ling continued to ask.

He was really curious about the abilities of the heavenly soldiers.

"Scattering." Wang Chuan didn't care much about Mo Ling's questioning and continued to explain patiently: "The ability from the 227th generation of survivors is called Scattering."

"You can think of it as a regular transmission. In a certain area, the stability of space is unbalanced. There are unstable high points and stable low points. Every time a holder of the scattered point ability activates the ability, he will jump from one high point to another."

"He himself cannot exist at a low point. Ever since he acquired the ability, he has been standing in an unstable place. Every time he moves, he jumps from one unstable place to another. There are many of these places, and their locations are uncertain, scattered in various places."

"This holder was a man of great willpower. He became the leader of the survivors of that generation. Unfortunately, his abilities were limited. He could only ensure his own safety and could not defeat the Heavenly Soldiers. In the end, he became their food."

"With this ability, the Heavenly Soldier can completely solve the problem of movement after the distortion. Because the smaller it shrinks, the slower it moves. So it uses the ability of scattering points to shuttle between various unstable points in the battlefield, constantly changing its position."

"But it also makes its location 'trackable'."

"As long as you memorize the pattern of its movement, you can predict where it will appear next time."

How much intelligence does this guy have?

Mo Ling was already a little numb. He discovered that Wang Chuan not only knew the abilities of the heavenly soldiers very well, but also knew their "habits" very well.

Not only that, the heavenly soldiers could not detect his existence.

"Have you been in this city for a long time?" Mo Ling couldn't help asking.

He regretted it the moment he said it, it was very offensive to casually pry into other people's secrets, especially those who had helped him.

However, Wang Chuan didn't care at all and just replied lightly: "It's been a long time."

"Let's leave here first. If you have any questions, ask them on the way. I will explain it to you in detail."

Wang Chuan spoke slowly, then pointed Mo Ling in a direction and asked him to meet Li Luo first.

Mo Ling immediately flew in the direction he said without any doubt.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Wang Chuan was so friendly to him, so friendly that Mo Ling was a little dazed.

Without any precautions and without requiring anything to be paid, he seemed to be helping her unconditionally, which made Mo Ling feel even more precious.

Flying over the messy ruins, Mo Ling went back into the mountain-like buildings. The sky suddenly became darker, and the shadows of those huge buildings slowly enveloped Mo Ling. There seemed to be sunlight above the gray dust clouds that did not exist in the eternal night, but after passing through the thick dust clouds, the light became extremely cold, without a trace of warmth, and when it sprinkled on the body, it did not feel like sunlight, but rather like artificial light emitted by some machine.

Mo Ling has been in this city for so long, but he still can't figure out what is above the clouds and what is going on in this city. Now, only Wang Chuan can answer his questions.

“Is there sun here too?”

Mo Ling asked cautiously.

"That's not the sun, that's the remnant of the sun."

Wang Chuan replied calmly.

"The remnants of the sun? What is that?" Wang Chuan's answer made Mo Ling even more confused.

"This world died, and the sun died too, but before it died, the sunlight shone into this city, so the dead sunlight came here with the city. You can still see the sun, but it is no longer the sun, but just an afterimage of the past."

"Everything is frozen at the moment of death, including the sunlight. The remnants of the sun still bring light to the city, like the setting sun shining on the tombs, but this has no meaning anymore. The old world will not change. The ruins will always be ruins, and the bodies in the tombs will not rise, but will remain in a dead state forever."
