I’m Trapped in a Cube - Chapter 13

“So, this is all a dream?”

The moment Mo Ling had this thought, he realized he could wake up.

The sensation of his body gradually returned-if he opened his eyes, he could leave this world.

But Mo Ling didn’t choose to wake up.

“Why does this world feel so real?”

He could understand the pajamas and the cube head.

But the dream had even constructed a Dawn City that didn’t exist in his memory, and he could even look up real-world information in the library?

Mo Ling was baffled.

“No wonder so many people get lost in dreams.”

He kept reading and found that after Zhou Ming returned from the dream, he also described to the researchers how information he didn’t know appeared in the dream.

Zhou Ming even speculated that the dream was shared.

Everyone who used this method arrived in the same dream!

But none of this had been confirmed.

Seeing this, Mo Ling was delighted.

If that was true, it meant he could find Li Luo in this world and wake her up!

But in such a vast Dawn City, how could he find Li Luo?

Recalling his own experience of waking up, he had an idea.

A sense of incongruity.

He needed to create something in Dawn City that everyone would notice as out of place.

The moment his consciousness awoke, Mo Ling found his abnormal perception had returned, including his teleportation ability.

“But now, if he used teleportation, where would the objects go?”

“Into the cube in his head?”

Mo Ling left the reading machine and walked out to the park outside the library.

He extended his perception outward-the range hadn’t changed, still 11m by 11m by 11m.

He targeted a stone and used teleportation.

The stone disappeared.

It seemed to have fallen somewhere, and Mo Ling heard a familiar metallic sound.

That sound seemed to come from his own head.

“Could it really have gone into my head?”

Mo Ling focused his vision inside the cube in his head.

Through the metal shell, he entered a strange place.

It was a mountain range of kimchi…

A vast metal floor stretched out of sight, with endless darkness overhead.

Before him were towering mountains of kimchi, stretching as far as he could see, kimchi constantly rolling down from the peaks.

Mo Ling tried to pick up a piece and found that none of the kimchi had spoiled or rotted, though he had no idea how long it had been piled up.

A unique sour smell filled the space, stinging Mo Ling’s nose.

The stone he had teleported in was sitting on the metal floor right in front of him.

Mo Ling’s perception moved very slowly in this space. When he tried to pass through the floor, he returned to the park.

“What was that place just now?”

Mo Ling couldn’t wrap his head around it.

“Why did he end up in that endless kimchi mountain?”

He entered the space again and tossed the stone back out onto the ground outside.

Just like in reality, his ability was unaffected.

So he turned his attention to the kimchi.

With the familiar teleportation operation, a pile of kimchi appeared on the ground.

This kimchi from an unknown place had been brought out by Mo Ling.

“Could this be the kimchi that was paid as the cost for the ‘Dream’ relic?”

“How did it end up in my head?”

Suddenly, Mo Ling had a bold guess:

“It wasn’t that the kimchi had entered his head, but that he had entered the place where the ‘Dream’ relic stored its cost!”

Mo Ling quickly entered the kimchi space again to test something.

He walked to the foot of a mountain and aimed the teleportation frame at the huge kimchi mountain, enlarging it as much as possible.

“Sure enough, the maximum is still 11 meters.”

So Mo Ling walked into the kimchi mountain.

In the park outside the Dawn City Library, people were strolling leisurely.

Suddenly, a giant cube of kimchi appeared in the plaza at the center of the park.

The strong smell drew everyone’s attention. The moment the kimchi cube landed, it burst apart, and a wave of kimchi surged toward the stunned bystanders.

People screamed and tried to escape, but many were engulfed by the kimchi tide.

Those who managed to escape quickly called the police.

Soon, rescue workers arrived at the scene, braving the smell as they searched the kimchi pile for trapped citizens.

Mo Ling, covered head to toe in kimchi, was dug out and put on a stretcher to be carried away.

But as soon as he reached the ambulance, Mo Ling suddenly jumped up and ran off into the distance, leaving the medical staff stunned.

“Success! It really works.”

That three-story-high kimchi mountain didn’t hurt at all when it landed on him, making Mo Ling even more certain this was a dream.

In reality, when trapped in the cube, the space limitation meant he could only teleport small objects.

Now, without that restriction, he could really show off.

……

In Dream Dawn City, a news broadcast was playing on the electronic screens:

“A Hunter is using a relic to create chaos in Dawn City.”

“The suspect fled to the top of a high-rise and used a relic to create a giant kimchi cube.”

“The kimchi cube falls from the sky, breaking apart in midair, so kimchi rain is now falling all over the city.”

“Citizens are advised to watch for falling objects and stay safe.”

“Authorities are pursuing the suspect, but have not yet succeeded.”

“The suspect is very distinctive: wearing pajamas, with a cube for a head, and covered in kimchi.”

“If anyone sees such a person, please report to the authorities immediately.”

“Here is surveillance footage of the suspect.”

Li Luo was staring blankly at her electronic screen, watching the report:

A cube-headed figure sneaked in through the back door of a skyscraper, climbed the emergency stairs to the rooftop hundreds of stories up.

A group of robot security guards attacked him, but it had no effect.

On the rooftop, the cube-head created a kimchi cube, then jumped off with it.

Li Luo’s expression grew stranger and stranger.

Suddenly, she heard a commotion outside her window.

At that moment, Mo Ling was standing atop Dawn City’s tallest building, Dawn Tower.

He was preparing to create another kimchi rain.

Just as he was about to act, a head poked out from the window of what was clearly a luxury apartment.

A girl was looking at him in confusion.

It was Li Luo.

Mo Ling froze. He’d intended to use the news media to get his image to Li Luo.

He hadn’t expected Li Luo to live in Dawn Tower.

He quickly jumped down and stood in front of Li Luo.

Seeing Mo Ling’s appearance, the girl’s expression was clearly dazed.

Seeing this, Mo Ling hurried to the table, picked up her electronic screen,

Then, skillfully entered the password and unlocked it.

Mo Ling entered the information about the relic “Dream,” then handed the screen to Li Luo.

Watching her expression shift from confusion to clarity, Mo Ling knew he’d succeeded.

After reading, Li Luo first looked Mo Ling up and down in his bizarre state, then asked incredulously, “You came to rescue me?”

Mo Ling nodded.
