Wait, where do the keys come from? …… Then again, have you always fallen into a misunderstanding?

"Huh?"

Mo Chen's dexterous and slender fingers suddenly stopped, and the Rubik's Cube immediately stopped rotating, and just as it was restored, it turned back into the original silver-white cube that was so integrated that it couldn't even be seen through the gaps.

It's just that each side happens to be labeled with a different color of label paper and marked with different Arabic numerals.

Mo Chen hadn't found any special clues or anything like that just now, he just had a flash of thought, and then a flash of inspiration.

Yes, you may have been caught up in a certain mindset.

That's "no buttons"...... Of course, Mo Chen is not really stupid enough to find any "buttons" on the cube, but it is undeniable that his thoughts are similar.

It's not about the same, but he does subconsciously explore the cube according to his own understanding of the inherent concept of "operating system".

- Isn't that a mindset?

What if it uses a completely different "operating system"? What if this thing isn't complete, what else is needed? Not to mention anything else, if this cube is positioned as a "key" or something......

It doesn't seem impossible.

"The key" ...... "key" should not really be a key, maybe just a symbol, like sound waves, fingerprints, iris, and DNA, as long as it plays a similar role......"

Looking at the cube held in his left hand, feeling its heavy weight, Mo Chen's expression changed slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking, his eyes looked a little uncertain.

"But something else is needed...... Maybe something else is the "key", but what should it be? I don't have a clue at all, but this thing has been in my hands since the beginning, it shouldn't be just a mistake, isn't it......"

After a while, a gust of night wind blew, and those little coolness finally brought him back to his senses.

The night was quiet and deep, as deep as ever, and the earth fell into a deep sleep as if it were tired.

Between the quiet world and the earth, a trace of cool breeze blows, making people feel refreshed.

"There's still some time, would you like to give it a try......?"

Glancing in the direction of the village, and finding that the witch had no plans to come out, Mo Chen took a light breath, and the long hair that had already exceeded his waist was fluttering in the wind.

He didn't get out of the volley, but continued to sit there quietly under the support of the wind, frowning and thinking about something.

However, it doesn't seem like I'm thinking about the answer to something, but I've already determined something, so I'm struggling with whether to make a decision.

"Well, what the hell am I worried about, no matter how much I struggle, the result won't change, right?"

The corners of his mouth slowly hooked, Mo Chen sighed softly, and then slowly handed over the cube in his left hand to his right hand, it seemed that it was such a simple little thing, which made him entangled for a long time.

It's just—

Morimori's phalanges slowly tightened his grip on the cube, and the pale flames instantly burst into flames, enveloping the entire palm of his hand and the cube held in the palm.

Time seemed to stop completely at this moment.

No, not as if, but really completely stopped. It's not the relative illusion caused by one's own reaction and thinking speeding up to the limit, but everything around me is still.

He subconsciously looked at the fields around him, and then saw that the atmosphere was no longer flowing, the grass and crops that had been blown down by the wind did not bounce back against common sense, and the clouds above the night sky no longer moved......

And the whole world lost its voice at the same time.

It seems that all the molecules are no longer moving, and they are completely locked in their original positions, and the river of time is completely frozen at this moment.

All in all, everything around was completely still except for Mo Chen.

At least that's true of everything in his sight, and he doesn't know if there's a range, or if the whole world is really ...... Forget it, there will be no answer to this question, and it won't make much sense.

He retracted his gaze and looked at the Sen Ran phalanx bone in his right hand, and the pale flame, which had burned even more dazzlingly and violently under the action of an irresistible and inexplicable force.

Although it still only emits cold, not heat, it is no longer as faint as before, and there is still a feeling of transparency.

The glowing pale light completely enveloped Mo Chen's right hand, the cube he was holding in his hand to be exact.

Before, Mo Chen held it hard, but now it was the cube that was tightly attached to his palm, and the pale flame was no longer under his control, he was only responsible for igniting the fire, but it seemed that it was not up to him when the fire would be extinguished.

It seems that this is the real way to find a way, and it was always difficult to do it before because of such a reason?

It's just that...... What does this mean?

Is it only when the level of "rules" is touched that the requirements of the key can be met, no matter what the rules are, as long as the level of the rules is reached, the conditions will be met?

Or is this change in his right hand also a so-called "fate" trajectory that has been predestined a long time ago, and the change is just an arrangement to meet the conditions?

That's really ...... What the hell is going on?

To tell the truth, if this is the case, he would rather that in a flash of inspiration, all the things he thinks are wrong, and none of them are realistic.

Mo Chen only had time to think about such a thought in the end, because he didn't know anything else anymore.

Under some rightly strange guidance-like feeling, his consciousness was irresistibly plunged into a state of speechless half-dreaming and half-awake, and even his mind seemed to be frozen.

He seemed to see a terrible glimpse of all time, of space.

However, they can only perceive, but they cannot think, they can only passively receive information, and they cannot actively process information.

In the absence of a reference, the human mind alone does not know how much time has passed, as if time has flown by, and as if thousands of years have passed.

In short, when Mo Chen opened his eyes again, what he saw was a sudden ...... Spooky space.

……

……

It's a quirky space, reminiscent of concepts like virtual cyberspace on movie screens.

Up and down, left and right, in all directions, there seems to be no end, only illusory luminous lines intertwined vertically and horizontally, dividing this strange space into identical squares.

Other than that, there is no heaven or earth, no natural objects, no man-made objects, and no other superfluous elements.

And so on, there seems to be another element, and it seems to be more eye-catching, because it's a ......

"Rubik's Cube?"

Mo Chen, who was standing in the void, looked ahead, and saw an incomparably huge super cube in the distance.

It was so huge that it seemed to occupy his entire field of vision, bringing with it a magnificent feeling of oppression, and he didn't know how many steps there were.

It was suspended in this strange and strange space, constantly rotating, and it seemed to be constantly making "click" sounds, but those seemed to be just Mo Chen's illusions.

The whole Rubik's Cube is moving in a very strange way, without any external interference, it seems to be just spontaneously rotating and twisting, constantly turning-

It's like the source of the spark in "Transformers", it is constantly intertwined and turning, and there is a white light like strange energy flowing in the irregular gaps.

And on the infinite number of squares, the surface of each individual grid is rapidly flashing with all kinds of strange and incomprehensible scenes.

Feel ...... Feel ...... It's very much like what's going on in a myriad of different worlds, and it's all different images and things.

Tightly just squinting his eyes and looking at it, Mo Chen felt a feeling of dizziness, as if as long as he watched, the excess information would flow directly into his mind, his own consciousness.

So, what the hell is this...... Where?

Or is it your own consciousness that has come to the inside of the Rubik's Cube? This is where the real control hub of the Rubik's Cube lies?

But how can this be controlled...... Anyway, the Rubik's Cube before can still be held in your hand and rotated directly!

Now this ...... Isn't that a bit too big?

Who made this thing, even the Titan Giant couldn't hold it in his hand and play with it, but he was afraid that he would be killed on the spot by it just after picking it up.

Raising his right hand and glancing at it, Mo Chen couldn't help but tug at the corners of his mouth, he was even more convinced that this was the guess that his consciousness came to this place.

Because his right hand is now back to normal, and it has really become flesh and blood. What's more, he doesn't seem to have any power here, just a simple existence.

However, this is not a good thing, and if his right hand is still like that, he thinks it is very likely that he will continue to use it as a "key" and then use it for further exploration.

But now, what should be done in this situation?

Mo Chen tried to make himself act first, and he felt that only when he first approached the Rubik's Cube and touched the surface could he talk about the follow-up further operation.

But soon, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, for he found that he could not move at all, could not do anything.

It seems that his consciousness has only come here, and he has a permission to observe, but he is limited to distance and angle, as for other things...... I just can't do more.

That's progress, right? But there's an egg for this progress!

Mo Chen didn't say anything about it, it seemed that even so, he was still silent, but between his eyebrows, there was a little bit of entanglement, and his eyes were a little sad.

But you can't give up in this way, anyway, time in the outside world should be still, right? You should have plenty of time to worry about.

Taking a step back, how could he find an option for himself to "log out", otherwise how would he get out of here?

I hope this style of painting doesn't suddenly become SAO.,Later, I will jump out of a behind-the-scenes mastermind.,Ask yourself to attack a hundred layers...... No, it takes a hundred worlds to go back, and then it will really be a god unfolding.

With such a slightly uneasy mood, Mo Chen forced himself to calm down and think carefully about various possibilities.

He wants to take his time and continue to explore in this strangely large, suspiciously virtual space.

……

……

After saying goodbye to Granny Kaede, the shrine maiden left Kaede Village.

Although the nostalgia is irrepressible, and there are many feelings along the way, there is no hesitation.

She knew she didn't belong here anymore.

"Is there anything else you'd like to go to next?" A soft voice came from not far away.

Kikyo looked up from his deep thoughts to find someone waiting quietly in the field ahead.

She stretched out her slender little finger and hooked her loose hair, tucking it behind her ear, then shook her head:

"No, it's just like before."

"yes, that's fine......"

Mo Chen nodded, but smiled a little reluctantly, it seemed that there were some things that he didn't know how to say-

"Then again, you've heard of Kikyo...... Do not obey the gods? ”
