I’m Trapped in a Cube - Chapter 180

Old Xu watched the conversation between the young man and the little sprite, and the hand covering his heart couldn’t help but clench tightly.

He gasped for breath while staring wide-eyed. The impact of this scene before him was too great.

“This is my wish?” Old Xu couldn’t help but question himself. “How could I have such a childish wish?”

At this moment, he looked at the young man with complex emotions, but was powerless to do anything.

This was his former self.

Even if it was childish, it was still his former self.

Old Xu watched as the golden little sprite flew in front of the young man and pointed at his heart with its hand.

“Alright! Your wish will gradually come true!”

“The Relic I’m giving you is a heart…”

After the little sprite fulfilled the young man’s wish, the wish in the golden water flow was no longer displayed.

Heartless One, so what he lost wasn’t just his heart.

The two Old Xus from different eras both covered their hearts and stood there foolishly, but what the two were thinking at this moment was completely different.

The young man also covered his heart, seeming to feel that he had lost something.

Old Xu looked at the confused young man, his eyes full of regret.

“What could be done about it?”

At this moment, he had already forgotten his original wish.

A look of emptiness on his face.

He stiffly turned his head and looked at the little sprite.

The little sprite was looking seriously at Old Xu and repeated its question, “Your wish has been fulfilled. Are you satisfied?”

Old Xu slowly stepped forward and placed his hand on the young man’s shoulder, as if wanting to pat him, but his hand passed right through and patted the air.

The little sprite manipulated the water flow to wrap up the young man and send him outside.

Old Xu just watched his former self leave this place of sorrow.

Golden water drops passed through Old Xu’s body. He stretched out his hand, not knowing what he was trying to grasp.

The little sprite flew to Old Xu’s side and said calmly.

“Your wish has been fulfilled. Are you satisfied?”

Seeing this scene, Old Xu immediately jumped back and retreated to Li Luo and Li Xiangyi’s side.

“You’re not an illusion?” Old Xu questioned.

“Of course I’m an illusion,” the little sprite actually answered Old Xu’s question.

This little sprite in the historical virtual image could actually converse with Old Xu in reality!

“What exactly are you?” Old Xu asked in shock.

“I’m the Wishing Fountain that fulfills wishes. Isn’t this the definition humans gave me?” The little sprite tilted its head and asked back.

“Why can you see me?” Old Xu looked at the little sprite warily.

The little sprite slowly flew in the sky and summoned another golden water flow, once again displaying Old Xu’s former wish.

“I could see the future from the beginning, so of course I can see you.”

The little sprite’s words were shocking.

“Isn’t this my wish?” Old Xu stared at those images in a daze.

“This is of course your wish. After it’s fulfilled, your future is naturally determined,” the little sprite seemed to be talking about something very ordinary.

“You even sealed the future Wishing Fountain. I know about this too, but it doesn’t matter. The future me will handle it.”

The future little sprite?

Hearing this, Old Xu’s face showed a shocked expression.

The little sprite kept circling in the water flow space and asked Old Xu the same question, “Your wish has been fulfilled. Are you satisfied?”

Old Xu didn’t answer the little sprite and still looked at it warily.

“Even though the task has been completed, you should drink more hot water in the future,” the little sprite didn’t mind Old Xu’s wariness and said this gently before diving into the water flow.

At this moment, not only Old Xu, but all three people present were shocked.

None of them expected to have such a peculiar encounter in this mirage vapor.

“Did we communicate with history?” Li Xiangyi said fearfully.

“Yes,” Li Luo confirmed.

Like the discoverer of mirage vapor recorded in the accounts, they had entered the mirage vapor and encountered an existence that could penetrate time and discover them.

“That little sprite is actually so powerful. Can sealing the fountain with shells really be effective?” Li Xiangyi asked worriedly.

“Let’s go out and see,” Old Xu said with a grave expression. From the little sprite’s words just now, it could be heard that sealing the fountain wouldn’t cause it much significant impact.

“The future me will handle it.”

This sentence kept echoing in everyone’s ears.

Mo Ling, who had been observing from the side, didn’t dare act rashly either. This little sprite was just too bizarre.

He had thought that communicating with history was just a low-probability event, but on only the second time entering mirage vapor, they actually encountered such a thing.

Mo Ling had been observing the internal structure of the little sprite and golden water flow.

The little sprite’s interior was like a soft ball of yarn woven from light, with no organs or core, not resembling any creature.

And the images on those golden water flows were just projections of light from within the little sprite. The water flow was just ordinary water flow.

Light drilled into the water flow, either controlling the water to surge up and down or displaying images. Those lights were everywhere. The little sprite didn’t seem to be the main body of this thing either.

The Cube was in this space, as if surrounded by a mass of light. Even if he wanted to activate teleportation, he didn’t know where to start. He could only watch helplessly as the little sprite communicated with Old Xu.

“I wonder what consequences this will have.”

While thinking this, Mo Ling controlled the Cube to follow the group as they left the fountain.

The mirage vapor was still continuing.

The young man was standing outside the fountain covering his heart in a daze, until the captain called out to him and he came back to his senses.

Old Xu’s attention was no longer on this young man, but said to Li Luo and Li Xiangyi, “This fountain might still have problems. Be careful.”

After saying this, he stared intently at the undulating fountain, very vigilant.

“Keep the light on. After the dome is broken by the people outside, the mirage vapor will naturally dissipate,” Old Xu said to Li Xiangyi.

Li Xiangyi quickly nodded.

At this time, Mo Ling, looking at the dazed young man, had a wonderful idea:

“Can my teleportation affect history?”

Through the experiences with the Black Tower and Martin, Mo Ling discovered that his teleportation seemed to have unique effects, able to penetrate many things.

“If I can even penetrate dreams, what about history?”

Mo Ling was thinking when the young man had already started running, seeming to be looking for an exit from the dome.

Wanting to test his ability, Mo Ling quickly followed, but the young man ran too fast and was about to leave his field of vision in the blink of an eye.

Mo Ling didn’t want to get too far from the group either.

In his urgency, he selected a stone and threw it under the young man’s feet…
