I’m Trapped in a Cube - Chapter 156

“Who is Martin?”

After hearing Li Luo’s question, Mo Ling’s hair instantly stood on end.

“The Black Tower’s distortion hasn’t disappeared?”

He looked at the red headscarf Li Luo wore on her head. Donkey ears grew out from the gaps in the headscarf, and the headscarf was also intact.

“It shouldn’t be the Black Tower’s problem.”

Mo Ling forced himself to calm down and had Li Luo search for content about “Martin” on the electronic screen.

But the content that appeared had no connection to the Relic “Martin.” That record was as if it had never existed.

Looking at Li Luo’s increasingly confused expression, Mo Ling had her search for “Blood Replacement Therapy.”

This time there was finally a result, but this result was completely different from what they had understood before:

[Relic: Blood Replacement Syringe]

[Cost: Blood]

[Ability: Can use blood to change a life form’s species, form, age, etc. Things mixed in the blood will form symbiosis with the life form]

[Discovery Location: Earth]

[Discoverer: Beller]

……

In the records, this was a Relic discovered by Dr. Beller from a sanatorium. The main body was a syringe, and it had already been sealed away by the officials.

That experience belonging to Martin had also completely disappeared.

“Who was Beller again?”

Mo Ling couldn’t believe his eyes and had Li Luo connect Bai Zhou’s storage device to the electronic screen to play the animation.

The content recorded in this animation was also completely different from before.

In the animation, the Lord of True Speech became a Robed Figure who had been distorted by the Core. He created a ritual book according to his own understanding.

Many plants were added to the ritual. These plants could develop the brain and accelerate the correction plan.

The ritual book became a true ritual book, with no relation to Blood Replacement Therapy whatsoever.

But in the end, after this Robed Figure learned from the Core that he was originally human, he couldn’t accept this fact, so he decided to rebel against the Core. He ultimately helped Bai Zhou and others kill the Core, and died himself as well.

The exquisite content created by Martin in the latter half of those animations had also become the same poor-quality images as before.

It was as if there was an incredibly powerful corrective force that had erased all of Martin’s existence.

“What’s wrong?” Li Luo didn’t understand why Mo Ling kept asking.

Mo Ling was also completely confused.

“Could it be that I’m the one with the problem?”

“Martin doesn’t exist at all?”

Mo Ling looked at that hard bed in the Cube, and the constantly color-changing button placed on it. He once again confirmed that his experiences were completely real.

My memory isn’t wrong! And there’s nothing wrong with me either.

“It’s this world that has the problem!”

Mo Ling decided to find a way to prove himself.

He planned to teleport that bed brought back from Dream Layer 0 outside and tell Li Luo about the bed’s origin.

But when he placed the bed in the outside world, the content on Li Luo’s electronic screen suddenly changed.

The animation that was playing on repeat suddenly changed back to the original exquisite images.

Mo Ling was shocked and had Li Luo search for “Martin” again.

Everything was normal. The data belonging to the Relic “Martin” reappeared, no different from the first search.

“Why are you searching for Martin again?” Li Luo asked in confusion.

“I want to know how Oasis City will deal with him,” Mo Ling tentatively asked a question.

“I don’t know. He destroyed the Core, so they should lift his wanted status, right?” Li Luo thought about it and speculated.

“She remembered again!”

In his shock, looking at that unremarkable bed, Mo Ling suddenly understood.

It’s this bed’s problem!

While staring at the “Martin” data in Li Luo’s hand, he sent the bed back into the Cube.

Sure enough, the expected thing happened.

The dense text on the electronic screen instantly disappeared, as if erased by an eraser, leaving only a blank space.

When asked, Li Luo had forgotten about Martin’s existence again.

Moreover, Li Luo had also forgotten the recent conversation about Martin, just curiously asking Mo Ling why he wanted to rewatch the animation again.

After Mo Ling brushed it off, she nodded and put away the electronic screen, continuing toward Oasis City.

At this moment, Mo Ling could no longer control the shock in his heart.

He stood in the Cube, looking at that unremarkable small bed placed on the metal wall, completely confused.

This bed didn’t seem to be so simple.

As long as it was placed outside, everything would return to normal.

But when it was inside the Cube, everyone would forget about Martin.

Mo Ling remembered the gap in that sea of beds and couldn’t help feeling a bit frightened.

“This bed, is it Martin’s existence? Did I strip Martin’s existence from the world?” Mo Ling had a bold speculation in his heart.

“What the hell was that Dream Layer 0?”

“Why could just moving a bed cause correction throughout the entire world?”

“Could the world displayed by Dream really affect reality?”

Mo Ling would never have thought that his actions could cause such terrible consequences.

And from the previous reactions, it seemed that Mo Ling and Martin himself hadn’t forgotten these memories, so there was no effect on either of them.

But the entire world had actually directly corrected itself into a version without Martin.

This was a huge disaster.

Seeing the color-changing button that had fallen to the ground, Mo Ling was possessed by some impulse and picked it up, then pressed it.

But nothing happened.

“Can’t it be used inside the Cube?”

Mo Ling knew the Cube’s metal walls could isolate many things. Perhaps this button couldn’t be used for the same reason.

After sitting on the bed for a long time, Mo Ling finally calmed down.

“Martin hasn’t disappeared, and the world hasn’t undergone any major changes for now. Let’s leave it like this for now and find an opportunity to put the bed back.”

Mo Ling didn’t know what butterfly effect Martin’s disappearance would cause, but there was no solution at the moment. He could only temporarily maintain the status quo.

Patting the hard bed beneath him, Mo Ling recalled Martin’s advice—

“You need to study your abilities carefully.”

Indeed, his abilities were full of mysteries. Just a very ordinary action had caused such a huge impact.

“I need to be careful when using my abilities in the future.”

……

Mo Ling’s inquiries were just a small episode for Li Luo. She didn’t pay much attention and continued walking toward Oasis City along the route.

The distance shown on the map wasn’t far, but actually walking there was very difficult.

Although the sandstorm had passed, the dunes were still full of dangers.

The moisture brought by the recent sandstorm attracted many small animals, and these active small animals in turn attracted predators.

Big fish eat small fish, and some huge creatures also began appearing in the vicinity.

A predator similar to a ray slid through the dunes. It hid its body in the sand, then searched for prey close to the sandy ground.

When it discovered prey, it would roll onto the prey along the dunes like a high-speed moving cloth.

Li Luo, advancing alone in the dunes, also became a hunting target for this type of creature. It seemed humans were also on their menu.

Mo Ling, who had just prepared to use his abilities cautiously, was forced to act again, cutting these overwhelming sand rays into pieces.

“Anyway, this is also part of studying my abilities.”
