I’m Trapped in a Cube - Chapter 263

“Tie him up first, we’ll talk when we get to the village.”

After hearing that merman’s explanation, Jeff was still somewhat uneasy, so he had to tie him up first and head toward the village together.

When that merman saw they were going back to the village, he repeatedly tried to persuade everyone to run away quickly, but what he got in return were disdainful looks from the others.

“Something happened in the village and all you think about is running away?” a pseudo-merman couldn’t help but question.

“You haven’t seen those components, you don’t know how terrifying they are. Of course you won’t think about running. By the time you see them, you won’t be able to run even if you want to!” the bound merman anxiously retorted.

After being told this, the bound merman stopped his nagging, though he still walked sluggishly, hiding in the middle of the crowd and looking around nervously, as if worried that a component might fly out from somewhere.

Soon, the abnormality here attracted more armor to arrive. They gathered together and surrounded everyone.

But the armor’s attention didn’t seem to be on these weak mermen at all, instead they all looked at Mo Ling in their midst.

At this time, these armor floating in the air all had conspicuous names on their heads.

Based on different account levels, these armor had names in different colors on their heads, like colorful hats that were very prominent and completely out of place with the menacing appearance of the armor.

He discovered that as long as these armor appeared before him, he could clearly see the account names on the armor.

“Fish Swarm 234.”

“Fish Swarm 163.”

“Fish Swarm 736…”

Mo Ling quickly found these names in the account list.

“Let’s try to see if we can delete them.”

But this wasn’t a difficult situation for Mo Ling to handle.

Looking at the names, Mo Ling deleted a bunch of accounts from the list. Those armor in the sky that were preparing to flee all stopped in place again, red light beginning to emit from their bodies.

However, Mo Ling could escape faster than they could, no matter how they tried.

These ancient mermen didn’t continue maintaining their encirclement. After coming to their senses, they hurriedly tried to scatter and fly into the sky.

Selected an account, Mo Ling found the familiar delete option. Without hesitation, he directly chose to delete.

After a series of metallic collision sounds, light flickered at the component connection points. The components that had originally been flying in the air quickly assembled into fitting suits of armor, wrapping around those mermen.

The armor exploded again, and several mermen fell to the ground, dazed and tied up by Jeff’s people.

The surrounding other armor immediately noticed something wrong with him and asked strangely.

Red light emerged from the gaps between components.

“It’s you! Guest 500!”

“I know you can hear this. Who exactly are you?”

“…”

The remaining few armor watched as their companions beside them all stopped moving and finally realized something, suddenly looking at Mo Ling.

“No, you’re the highest authority!”

Hearing this, the originally calm fish swarm instantly panicked:

“That account, what’s going on? Can the races on this island not only seize our bodies but also seize our accounts?”

“I don’t know. I checked that account name, it’s somewhat strange, called ‘Guest 500’?”

“Why would he trigger account deletion? What happened?”

“Did he betray the mermen race?”

“When did he join us? Were there any abnormalities before? Did he operate it himself?”

“I don’t know. His current account information can’t be searched at all…”

And Mo Ling looked at these ancient mermen who were still discussing the matter nonchalantly and silently opened the account management interface.

“Authority insufficient, everything is authority insufficient!”

Just as he finished saying this, these few ancient mermen were instantly deleted by Mo Ling again. After a few “crackling” sounds in the channel, it returned to quiet.

“They seem to all lack experience with this kind of situation.”

Mo Ling was momentarily stunned. These mermen seemed to know how to prevent account deletion.

Could they do that?

Then he also locked all nearby components completely, making those few armor unable to control components anymore.

Account deletion seemed to be a very terrifying thing for them.

Mo Ling remembered this merman at this time. He was one of those moving cargo at the dock. Because he only had a belt tied around his entire body, Mo Ling had an exceptionally deep impression of him.

Those few armor questioned while components burst out of them, quickly forming a barrier in front to block Mo Ling’s armor visor. The function that originally allowed him to see names instantly became ineffective.

But Mo Ling could handle this.

Moving the account management interface to one side, Mo Ling opened the component control panel and made the components forming the barrier scatter.

At this time, Mo Ling’s head had already gathered a dark mass of components, very conspicuous.

Those scattered components were originally going to fly toward Mo Ling again, but he controlled them in time, temporarily stopping them in place.

Only the components from the village that wanted to fly over and attack everyone, before they could reach them, suddenly turned and plunged into the mass of components above Mo Ling’s head.

In the channel, fearful voices from ancient mermen came again.

Mo Ling looked at these ancient mermen with some confusion.

“Jeff?”

A bound merman seemed to recognize Jeff after coming to his senses.

This belt-wearing merman seemed to trust Jeff completely and didn’t doubt what he said at all.

But what happened next quickly made him widen his fish eyes.

The belt-wearing merman wasn’t as panicked as the previous rescued person. After recognizing the situation, he quickly calmed down.

“That’s a human friend, don’t worry.”

“How many armor are left in the village?” Jeff asked directly.

“Not many, but those armor are very powerful, with many components around them…”

“Just like that one over there.”

After saying halfway, the belt-wearing merman looked at Mo Ling.

Hearing the belt-wearing merman’s reminder, Jeff nodded at him and called everyone to quickly rush toward the library.
