"Look at this cube, we still don't know why it has been floating in the air since we discovered it more than ten years ago! Just now when you used your superpower to make us float in the air, I felt that calling you here was the right decision!" Old Hu said excitedly.
Luo Chao nodded quietly. Just when he was about to reach for the cube, Old Li stopped him.
"You can't touch this thing," said Old Li. "As soon as any living being touches the cube, the part of the body that makes contact will instantly disintegrate!"
Luo Chao was so frightened that he quickly withdrew his hands.
But what should be done?
If he couldn't touch it with his hands, how could he establish a connection with this mysterious black cube?
How about using telekinesis?
With that thought, Luo Chao made up his mind, and sure enough, the cube rose under his control.
Then Luo Chao moved it to float twenty centimeters in front of him and began to observe it carefully.
Examining closely, the dark lines on the black cube seemed not to be etched into its surface.
Instead, it looked like an extremely fine dark red silk thread wrapped around the black cube.
But after walking a full circle around the black cube, Luo Chao still didn't know how to proceed.
Just as he was about to give up, suddenly, a very faint voice came to his ear, "Take me away!"
Looking at the mysterious cube before him, Luo Chao seemed to hear a faint voice shouting at him in his mind.
"Could it be that the cube is speaking?" Luo Chao murmured to himself.
"My young friend, what's up? Did you discover anything?" The two elders asked Luo Chao almost simultaneously.
"Did you hear anything, like someone whispering in your ear?" Luo Chao asked.
"No, we didn't! Are you having auditory hallucinations?" the three said simultaneously.
At that moment, Luo Chao heard the faint voice again, as if an invisible person was leaning on his shoulder, whispering in his ear, "Take me away."
"It must be this mysterious cube speaking to me with spiritual power!" Luo Chao concluded.
"Don't rush; let me probe the cube with spiritual power first," Luo Chao said to the other three.
As he expanded his spiritual force field, Luo Chao was surprised to find that his spiritual power now covered the entire secret experimental base.
He "saw" that the whole base had three underground levels and two above ground, covering a total area of sixty thousand square meters.
He also saw the equipment that the two elders and Tang Tianyi hadn't shown him, strange tanks, giant turrets, and even small robots!
But what shocked him the most was that within a two-kilometer radius, he "saw" the actions of everything and everyone, except for the cube before him, which remained completely black and elusive to any probing.
"How strange!" Luo Chao was utterly puzzled, and he told the two elders and Zhu Ming, "I need to focus a bit, step back a bit!"
The three nodded and retreated into the corner of the room.
So, Luo Chao calmed his mind and concentrated all his attention to drive his spiritual power towards the black cube, his spiritual power like a fine needle piercing towards the cube.
This time, the voice became loud and clear.
"Take me away! Take me away!" a voice kept repeating this phrase.
"What are you?" Luo Chao asked tentatively.
After a long while.
"Can you hear me!?" the voice sounded very excited.
"Yes, I can, what are you, are you an alien?" Luo Chao continued to ask.
"You could say I am, or not," the voice replied.
"What do you mean by that?" Luo Chao asked.
"The key is, do you want power? I can sense it, your anger, your desire for strength, right? Human," the voice asked in a tempting tone.
"Power? Power! Do I desire power!? I long for strength! I long to possess absolute power to uphold justice! To eliminate social injustice!" Luo Chao stood there, his eyes vacant, and such a voice emerged from deep within his heart.
"Then take me away!" When he came back to his senses, Luo Chao noticed that the dark red threads on the black cube had disappeared.
Before he could react to what had happened, the two elders and Tang Tianyi came over.
Tang Tianyi tapped Luo Chao on the shoulder and said, "Luo Chao, what's wrong? You've been standing here for over an hour, did you find anything?"
"Huh? Huh! What? Has it been an hour already?" Luo Chao was amazed.
"Yeah, you've been standing there motionless for an hour. At first, I thought you were using your superpower, so I didn't dare disturb you. But then so much time passed, and I didn't even see you blink, I was afraid you might have lost control!" Tang Tianyi replied.
"Is that so, it seems I still haven't discovered much." Luo Chao felt his memory fuzzy, this was the first time since merging with the Power of Nature that he felt such a mental block.
"Hey, did you notice, why have the dark red lines on the cube disappeared!?" Tang Tianyi noticed the anomaly of the cube.
At that moment, the cube suddenly shook a few times and then fell rapidly towards the floor.
In a moment of urgency, Tang Tianyi forgot what Old Li said and instinctively reached out her hands to catch it.
"No!" Luo Chao and the two elders shouted simultaneously, but it was too late. Everything happened so suddenly, Tang Tianyi had already caught the black cube.
In an instant! The black cube emitted a blinding white light, engulfing the entire room.
Luo Chao and the two elders instinctively squinted their eyes, raising their hands in front of them to block it.
And Tang Tianyi, being too close to the cube, had the white light shoot straight into her eyes!
A second or two later, Luo Chao and the two elders felt the white light fade away and opened their eyes simultaneously.
Fortunately, Tang Tianyi's hands were still there, and she looked up with a surprised expression at the three, and then surprise turned into delight.
"I saw it," Tang Tianyi murmured to herself.
"What did you say?" Old Hu asked quickly.
"I said I saw it!" Tang Tianyi exclaimed joyfully.
"What did you see? Tell us!" Old Li also became curious.
"Because I cannot... but I did see it! Maybe I can't prove it, or even explain what happened! But with the experiences and feelings I have as a human, I know it's true!"
"I have received some kind of miraculous revelation; some things have changed me forever! The cosmic vista I witnessed undeniably proves how insignificant and negligible humans are, yet at the same time, how rare and precious we are!"
"This vista tells us that humans belong to something greater than ourselves, that is, we are not alone in the cosmos! I hope I can share my feelings with you."
"I hope everyone, even if just for a minute, can feel that kind of awe, humility, and hope, though that's just my wish!" Tang Tianyi babbled.
