Chapter 660: 660 Diamond Diamond

The white diamond-shaped geometric body gave Bai Youwei an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

But she should have seen this thing for the first time.

“You’re all here,” Professor Song’s voice echoed in the room.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Everyone looked towards the sound to see Professor Song hunched over his work behind a computer.

He looked older than before with a hoarse and weak voice, and his eyes were bloodshot from overwork. His health condition gave cause for concern.

“These instruments and devices were brought in as soon as power was restored, but they’ve been of no use. After discovering this item, no form of survey could yield any results,” Professor Song, staring at the diamond on the screen, said slowly. “That’s all we can do…”

Shen Mo looked at it and said, “The power has been restored for less than two days. Isn’t it too early to draw conclusions? If we continue the investigation, there may be new findings.”

Professor Song shook his head, “It’s pointless. Apart from its visibility, this diamond object cannot be detected in any other way. It has no gravity, no mass, no sound… magnetic field, electromagnetic wave, thermal energy, radiation, all of these, it has none. It’s as if it doesn’t exist.”

He spoke quickly, panting. His trembling fingers tapped the screen, “This is not a product of human civilization. If we can figure out what it is, we may be able to unlock the key to the world’s anomalies. I called you here because I hoped you could provide related clues… Have any of you seen anything similar in the game?”

Everyone was silent.

No one had seen this thing before.

Bai Youwei stared at the screen, saying, “Can it be magnified?”

“Yes.” Professor Song worked on the computer, his voice hoarse. “After magnification, you can see that the object is composed of countless cubes. The internal structure is unclear, it’s white on the outside, can reflect all colors of light, yet we can’t detect any physical substance.”

Bai Youwei thought for a moment, then turned to Shen Mo, “The place where we stayed, the rest hall, was also a white square.”

When she mentioned this, others also realized the connection.

“It’s not just a white square, the walls and floor tiles of the rest hall are also squares,” Yan Qingwen pointed out.

He paused before adding, “When we leave the game, we pass through a glowing passage, which is also square-shaped.”

Everyone exchanged looks.

After a while, Tan Xiao asked in a daze, “…You mean we are in this diamond?”

Everyone was silent.

It was a highly probable yet absurd theory.

If the rest hall was a cube, then was every game they experienced a cube as well?

Countless cubes, countless games, this unidentifiable diamond-shaped object, selecting players around the world; what was its purpose?

Professor Song dropped his head, letting out a hoarse, dry laugh.

The game had taken away his loved ones and his life. With his time running out, he devoted all his energy and effort to uncovering the truth before death arrived. But in the end, he was still helpless.

Many things could not be achieved by effort alone.

With his current capabilities and conditions, it was very difficult to uncover the secrets of the doll game.

“Perhaps only by becoming the final King, can one enter the core of the diamond.” Professor Song gave a bitter smile, looking at the young people before him.

Among them were soldiers, young ladies, misfits, middle school teachers, elementary school students, street performers… Who would have thought that the future of the world would be entrusted to such a group of people?

“The rest is up to you,” Professor Song looked at them. “If you need anything, contact Chu Huaijin. I, as an old man, can’t help much anymore…”
