The inside of the wine jar was pitch-black. Its officially registered name was the "Immovable Wine Jar," and anything that fell inside was forbidden from moving.

"We tested it before by putting a frog inside the wine jar. The frog stopped moving as soon as it passed into the mouth, suspended right there."
"Even when we turned the jar upside down, the frog stayed fixed in its original position instead of falling out."
"Based on those tests, we deduced that photons would be trapped upon entering the mouth."
"When photons are trapped inside and unable to move, it produces a visual effect similar to a black hole. In other words, once photons enter, they never come back out."
"The mouth of the jar is like a black hole. No photons emerge from it, so whenever we look inside, all we see is absolute darkness. We can't see anything in there."
At that point, Captain Luo bent down, casually grabbed a crab scuttling about, and placed it into the mouth of the Immovable Wine Jar.
Something extraordinary happened.
The moment the crab's large claw crossed the boundary between the outside and inside of the mouth, it froze in midair.
Captain Luo applied a little more force, pushing the crab slightly farther in, and its claw immediately entered the jar.
The pointed tip of the claw vanished from sight, as though the darkness had sliced it off.
But when Captain Luo pulled the crab out, its claw was perfectly intact.
When Whale City first acquired this item, testing it had been far from easy.
Only after hundreds of tests had the bureau's personnel defined the jar's core function as preventing movement inside it.
That restriction had its limits. If an object
