Chapter 346 The New Cave

"What exactly is this thing? Does your psionic center have any records of it?"

Upon seeing the cube again, and still unable to find an exit, Lin Xiyue could only stare at it and ask Ling Ye for directions.

"Hmm... to be honest, I don't really know either. I'm the captain, and I only remember the most common and the most dangerous information. The kind that doesn't seem dangerous, that's generally what Lingjiu remembers. Lingjiu, you remember, right? That one, what you call a tech geek?!"

Ling Ye shrugged. He was just an ordinary captain; how could he possibly remember everything? There was no other way but to change the subject.

"Yes, I remember. Lingjiu seems to be a very shy young man. He even rented a card from me, so he's one of my regular customers."

Lin Xiyue smiled, clearly recalling Lingjiu's visit earlier.

"Yes, he's a very serious person. It's a pity he hasn't found a girlfriend yet. I wanted to pair him up with Lingluo before, but neither of them seemed interested in the other. When they sat together and chatted, one talked about all sorts of technology, and the other talked about food and fun. You could say they had absolutely nothing in common."

Ling Ye echoed Lin Xiyue's words.

Although they were having a pleasant conversation, their attention remained fixed on the mysterious cube, and they both shared a common desire—to find a way out of there.

Suddenly, a crisp "click" sound broke the surrounding silence, followed by a adorable "woof".

The sudden sound startled Lin Xiyue and Ling Ye. They quickly looked down, trying to figure out where the sound came from.

It turned out that Guai Guai was so bored that he swam down to the bottom and started digging at the mechanical seat with his hands out of boredom.

No one knew what she had dug up, but the "crackling" sound kept coming, as if something had been opened.

Guai Guai seemed startled by her own actions and instinctively let out a whimper.

Lin Xiyue and Ling Ye exchanged a glance and immediately realized that things might have taken a turn for the better.

Without hesitation, they swam towards where Guai Guai was.

Before long, Lingye arrived at Guai Guai's location first.

He looked closely and was immediately astonished – a hidden mechanism had been successfully pried open, and next to it were several buttons with foreign writing on them.

"φx...?D...????D..."

Lin Xiyue finally arrived at this place. Her gaze was drawn to those mysterious characters, and she subconsciously began to mutter them aloud.

She gazed at the words, as if she could feel the power and meaning they contained.

Although Lin Xiyue's voice was not loud, it sounded exceptionally clear in the quiet environment.

"You know a foreign language?!"

Ling Ye's face showed surprise when he heard Lin Xiyue read those words aloud.

He stared wide-eyed at Lin Xiyue in disbelief.

"Yes, that's right. Meros taught me a little bit of the alien language. However, I only know a small part of it."

Lin Xiyue nodded, and said somewhat shyly.

"So what do these words actually mean?"

Lingye was overjoyed to hear this and quickly asked more questions.

As he asked the question, he quickly pressed his terminal to take a picture of the text, preparing to record Lin Xiyue's translation.

"Hmm, I can understand some of it. The meaning of these words seems to be something like 'on...off...alarm...', and there are some words I don't recognize."

Lin Xiyue carefully observed the words, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

Ling Ye listened attentively to Lin Xiyue's translation, secretly marveling at it.

He hadn't expected Lin Xiyue to be able to decipher the alien race's script. This was undoubtedly good news for humanity, since the alien race wouldn't actively teach humans the meaning of these characters.

"We don't know if this 'open' is the same as the 'open' in 'open door,' and we don't know where the door will lead. Should we press it?"

Lin Xiyue stood in front of the button, pointing suspiciously at the one labeled "Open," then turned to look at Ling Ye, seemingly waiting for his opinion.

"Go ahead and press it. We don't have anywhere else to go. We can't really climb vertically up that narrow passage, can we?"

Ling Ye stared at the button, and after a moment of thought, his gaze met Lin Xiyue's. He nodded slightly in agreement and said...

Lin Xiyue felt a little relieved after hearing Ling Ye's words. She took a deep breath and, as if she had made up her mind, resolutely reached for the button.

"it is good."

As soon as she finished speaking, her finger pressed the button without hesitation.

In an instant, a loud "boom" came from above them, as if the entire space was shaking.

Since the button is actually located diagonally below the square, they could see the green square at a glance when they looked up.

The source of that loud noise was the cube itself.

A deafening "rumble" was heard, as if the whole world was trembling.

At the same time, the cube began to undergo astonishing changes.

The originally regular cube shape began to slowly twist and deform as if by magic.

It's like a well-fermented dough with a high water content, which is gradually stretched and extended under the influence of an invisible force.

As the block deforms, some dark green slime seeps out from its interior. This slime seems to have a certain stickiness, and even when the block is separated, it remains connected and refuses to break easily.

When the block was split wider than a person, its movement finally stopped.

However, the slime connecting the two parts did not disappear immediately. It stubbornly held the two parts of the block together. But as time went by, the slime gradually thinned and eventually broke off with a "snap".

As the slime broke apart, the central part of the cube was finally fully revealed to Lin Xiyue and the others.

It was a dark and deep cave entrance, like a gateway to another world, inspiring awe in all who beheld it.

Without a doubt, this hole is the "door" that was opened earlier.

Seeing the scene before them, Lin Xiyue and Ling Ye exchanged a glance, and then Ling Ye took the lead, walking towards the cave entrance and decisively going inside.

Lin Xiyue, pulling along the still clueless Guai Guai, followed closely behind Ling Ye and entered the cave.

"Pop—"

"Pop—"

"Pop—"

As three sounds, like piercing through a film of water, rang out, the three of them walked into the black hole one after another.
