Mo Chen is not a sluggish or procrastinating person, at least not to the hopelessly advanced stage.

Although in the face of such a thing as crossing and facing a new world, he really doesn't have such a good attitude to start planning a new life immediately, but everyone understands that this is the real normal performance.

After all, you must know that reality is not a game, and it is definitely not as simple as opening a new file.

It's just that after all, it's been more than a day. Even if he felt uneasy at the beginning, now, the fear in his heart is slowly calming down.

It can be said that he has finally accepted the reality, and he also knows that if he continues to be so depressed, it will not be the solution to the problem at all.

Therefore, whether it was the inexplicable faint anger or fear in his heart because of what happened to him, he decided to start acting.

Although a lot of time has been wasted from yesterday to now, Mo Chen is not really doing nothing, otherwise he would not be sure that he has crossed this matter.

He learned more or less about the world, and he also found some very obvious problems that it was absolutely impossible for him to ignore the past-

For example, the cube on the table in front of you.

This surface has a strange and mysterious arabesque, silver-white cube.

It was the only item he had brought with him from the world before he had traveled through time, for such an obvious fact...... It's too hard to pretend you can't see it.

But what kind of thing is this? What kind of use is it?

Regarding these most critical things, Mo Chen didn't know anything about them.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember when he had acquired the cube, but he remembered that on that last day, when he woke up, he had such an object in his hand......

It can't be something that you go out to sleepwalk when you fall asleep at night and bring it back without knowing it, right?

Otherwise, how can you explain why you don't have any impression at all?

It's just that I didn't have time to study this strange cube properly at that time, so I went straight through. But the most important thing is that this strange cube was actually brought by him as well.

- So in the dark, he had a hunch that this thing was the key in the absolute sense.

If you follow the general routine, this should be your own gold finger or something, but how should you use it?

Having said that, shouldn't it be time to drip blood to recognize the Lord, and then it will be bound to a powerful system of unknown origin or something?

Mo Chen stared at the silver-white cube on the table, and was in a daze for a while, his heart fluctuating.

He reached out and grabbed the cube and picked it up, feeling the cold, smooth touch, and heavy weight. I can't help but think about the possibilities of this thing.

This world is paradoxical from the world it once was, although the historical background, the level of science and technology or something seems to be not much different, but the historical aspect is very problematic, but strictly speaking, this effect is not great.

What's really important is that according to the results of Mo Chen's online search, the conclusion is that the entertainment culture of this world is also somewhat ...... Crooked.

For example, many of the works he is familiar with, such as film and television animations, novels, games, etc., have not appeared in this world.

As for whether those literary masterpieces, classical poems and other works in the past exist, it is not too clear. Because Mo Chen didn't search further at that time, he just briefly understood the background of this world.

It's just that now, he can't help but associate these two things together, and he can't help but start to make up in his head:

Could it be that he will get a golden finger of a writer system or a big star system or something?

And his next destiny is to develop the culture of the original world and reproduce the glory of another earth?

No way! Reborn as a writer in the past, or reset the world to become a big star or something, although it sounds great, it's not outdated, but it's really not suitable for you!

This thought made Mo Chen a little frustrated, and he subconsciously grabbed the cube in his hand, stiff and worried.

"Click" – a subtle but clear sound.

Then, he felt the cube in his hand seem to have some kind of obvious deformation due to the force of his fingers.

“……”

“……”

Mo Chen lowered his head in a hurry, raised the cube in front of him to take a closer look, and then found that it was indeed deformed. But it wasn't his sudden increase in strength, and he crumpled the sturdy metal material into deformation.

But...... The cube suddenly layered, revealing obvious ridges, and rotated slightly in a certain direction under the force of his fingers.

Wait, he suddenly showed a suspicious expression, this structure is quite familiar! He furrowed his brow in thought, the word was on his lips, but he couldn't remember it in his head.

Isn't this the ...... That one...... That's right! Isn't this a third-order Rubik's cube?!

Mo Chen blinked, and suddenly reacted with some hindsight.

His fingers flicked unconsciously a few times, and the cube was rotated, and the edges and corners slid along the grooves, and then ...... Something wonderful happened.

The cube, which had been just a silvery-white luster, with a faint imperceptible arabesque pattern on the surface, began to bloom with a strange crystal blue light, flowing like a flowing liquid inside and between the ridges.

It looks like it's quite sci-fi, and it's imbued with a certain kind of hardcore aesthetic that doesn't feel like it's noticeable.

However, it made Mo Chen suddenly feel like he had grabbed a hot potato, after all, who knew if this was a sign of an imminent explosion?

He resisted the urge to subconsciously throw the cube in his hand out, kept this action unchanged, and prayed hard that there would be no problems, because if such a sci-fi thing was really lethal, it would be useless to throw it.

Generally, the radius of the main killing range of grenades is a full fifteen meters, not to mention this kind of creation that is obviously full of black technology?

But—

One second, two seconds, three seconds...... Until more than ten seconds had passed, Mo Chen didn't feel anything wrong.

It seems that the light is just some kind of special effect, just some kind of light and shadow effect, and there is no other real effect.

Whether or not it was a special kind of energy flowing, at least he didn't have to worry about electrocution or explosion for now? However, after the blue light disappeared, the various surfaces of the cube quickly faded to a silvery white, and different colors appeared.

- Wait, it's really a Rubik's Cube?!

With a grin, Mo Chen's hand trembled slightly, and then he didn't have time to think about it. He carefully combined the corners and edges like a Rubik's cube to restore the corners and edges that had been twisted and twisted to their original shapes.

Then, between the flow and flickering of blue light, the various colors faded, the silvery-white luster and metallic texture were replaced again, the arabesque pattern looked mysterious and eerie, and the previous cube returned.

Nothing has happened other than these changes.

"Huh?"

Mo Chen was obviously stunned for a moment, then he put the cube back on the table, and after carefully studying it for a while, he was sure that with his naked eye, he couldn't see any cracks on the surface at all.

The most subtle lines seem to be the only ones that are the strange arabesques, and nothing else, as if the whole cube is completely integrated and directly cast.

But just now, it's like a Rubik's cube, it can be rotated, turned, twisted...... There's no reason to be a hallucination, right?

Although it was Mo Chen's subconscious behavior to restore the Rubik's Cube just now, it was ...... Wouldn't that make sense?

After thinking about it, he shook his head vigorously, and then reached out again to take the cube with determination. After weighing it in his hand, he began to twist gently.

Click.

The next moment, the silvery-white metal cube once again turned into a third-order Rubik's Cube with six colors.

After having an experience, Mo Chen didn't feel so nervous, although there would inevitably be some worries, but as he continued to twist and combine, he slowly found that it seemed that this was really a Rubik's Cube?

No matter how you twist and spin it, it is no different from the third-order Rubik's Cube except that it seems to be indestructible.

But again, there are no changes, and it is completely impossible to see how it should be used, it seems to be just a pure educational toy. The color blocks are disrupted and irregular, but if all six colors are restored-

Then the Rubik's Cube will turn back into a silvery-white cube.

Theoretically, if the essence of this thing is a Rubik's cube, then the correct way to think is to restore it, right? But the reality is that the thing itself was restored from the beginning.

So the reverse way of thinking is, you need to mess up the Rubik's Cube?

But - who knows what kind of specific state it has to be disrupted into before this thing can really react?!

……

……

One minute, two minutes, three minutes...... A full ten minutes passed.

Mo Chen, who had been playing the Rubik's Cube, suddenly felt like a stupid X., with no clue at all, scurrying around like a headless fly.

He stopped, let out a long sigh, and without putting the cube back in place, he placed it on the table in front of him.

It seems that this can't be done, there should be other clues that I haven't found myself, why not check the arabesque pattern on the surface of the restored silver-white cube?

Mo Chen was thinking so crankily, but he didn't notice that the sky outside suddenly became dark, and he didn't subconsciously raise his head until the room was getting darker and darker.

Then he was stunned.

In hindsight, he saw the shuffled Rubik's Cube on the table, projecting a thin blue beam of light, spreading out a circle of blue halo in the center of the room, like a film of light.

It is like a rippling surface of water, constantly spreading and fluctuating, and the edge disappears into the border with the air.

“…… Portals? ”

Such a sci-fi thing, and such a classic shape, that the first reaction in Mo Chen's mind was such a concept.

But after being shocked for about ten seconds, he still heard the noise outside, so he turned his head with some difficulty and looked at the scenery outside the window on the other side-

There was nothing, only an endless darkness that was rapidly spreading.

He saw a world that was completely darkened.
