I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 495 Nebula Consciousness
These strange-looking star cluster creatures are actually just ordinary resins?

Zhou Chao stood there in a daze for a long time, until he saw the starlight on the resin surface slowly fade away, revealing its original appearance, then he stood up.

“It is indeed resin.”

After losing the starlight, the resin wrapped around the ancient tree flowed along the trunk to the ground, and the rich resin fragrance overflowed.

"They are not living creatures, but more like they are parasitized by something..."

Zhou Chao looked at the light spot that had been completely swallowed by the cube and said in a daze.

"Are those the dots of light?"

He was also a little confused and not sure about his guess.

As the light spots disappeared, the sense of connection he had just felt no longer existed, and he could no longer hear those strange noises.

On the other side, Li Luo was asking about the land plot worriedly.

After absorbing the red light river, there was no damage to the surface of the cube. Instead, it looked much cleaner, as if it had been wiped.

"Are you okay?" Li Luo patted the cube.

Of course Mo Ling was fine, he was just dazzled by the sudden gathering of red light.

He didn't know why, but the light spots suddenly rushed towards the cube like crazy.

In the end, the block was even completely surrounded by red light, until all the light spots were sucked into the metal wall, and the surrounding scene reappeared.

"I feel a little dizzy."

Mo Ling's control cube trembled, indicating that he was not hurt.

Li Luo breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and brought the cube to Zhou Chao's side.

Zhou Chao also quickly told Li Luo about his discovery:

"The main body of those star cluster creatures is not the resin. They are just parasites on the resin and control the activities of the resin. Those light spots should be their main body, which is the sound we just heard."

"Your relics absorb all the light, and the resin loses its vitality."

However, while Zhou Chao was still speaking, the resin on the ground suddenly began to shake again, and then suddenly attacked Zhou Chao who was standing aside.

Mo Ling had been staring at these resins. Seeing this, he immediately activated the teleportation and cut off these resurrected resins.

Zhou Chao was still in shock and stood there in a daze.

"Am I wrong? Is this just ordinary activated resin? Then why do they fade and lose their vitality after those light spots disappear?"

Now, Zhou Chao was also a little confused.

However, at this time, Li Luo's words made him suddenly enlightened:

"Is it possible that the parasite was originally activated resin?"

She looked at Zhou Chao and asked, "What did you feel when you came into contact with those light spots just now?"

Zhou Chao pondered for a while and replied: "It's like my consciousness is sinking into a big lake. I can feel the vibrations of the water waves in the lake. Those vibrations are other consciousnesses..."

Zhou Chao expressed his feelings truthfully.

"My consciousness is becoming freer and flowing to other places. I am not only feeling the other waves, but also spreading my own ripples, allowing other consciousnesses to feel my thoughts and ideas."

Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of something.

"The freer the consciousness is, the weaker the connection with the body becomes. I feel my body becoming light and floating. Although I can still control it easily, the connection feels much weaker. Other consciousnesses seem to be slowly taking over my body and starting to share control of my body with me."

As he spoke, Zhou Chao looked at the cube and said, "I just felt a suction force coming from your relics. If it weren't for my body stabilizing my consciousness, I would have been sucked in..." Listening to Zhou Chao's feelings, Li Luo nodded, "I feel the same way."

The two discussed the feeling of the light points passing through their bodies, and finally came up with a suitable guess:

Those activated resins should have been independent individuals.

But being in this forest of stars, it is inevitable to be exposed to those free spots of light, or be entangled by those faint blue light bands.

When the light spots entered their bodies, they gradually began to share their bodies with the resin's original consciousness. As the light spots became more and more, they lost control of their bodies and were completely immersed in the great lake of consciousness.

Compared to humans, the original consciousness of resin is simpler and easier to replace. The number of light spots is large, so it is easy for them to occupy the body of resin.

Finally, the occupied body was filled with light spots, becoming a nebula-like appearance, but the resin could not separate from the ancient wood and could only wrap around it, becoming that strange appearance.

When the light spot was dispelled and only the original consciousness remained, it regained its original control and launched an attack on Zhou Dynasty...

After discussing this result, both of them felt scared.

"If we continue to stay in that light spot a little longer, will our bodies also become the carriers of those consciousnesses?" Zhou Chao said with lingering fear.

Human consciousness is very complex. Although it will not be replaced immediately, it cannot withstand the constant intrusion of those light spots. There will come a day when it will slacken and become a drop of water in the lake of consciousness.

"Has this forest been parasitized by those spots of light?"

Looking at the faint blue light bands interweaving among the ancient trees, Zhou Chao took a deep breath.

"Is this the work of the Eye of the Stars? It animates everything just to use these points of light to occupy the body?"

"But why do those light spots have consciousness? Are they created by the Eye of the Stars using the Activation Source?"

At this moment, the two finally understood what had been spying on them since they entered the forest.

It was not the ancient trees, nor the air, but the starlight that occupied the entire forest. They were always coveting the bodies of the two.

Just like the activated resins controlled by the light spots before, they wanted to "connect" with the two people and drag them into the big lake of consciousness.

Suddenly, Zhou Chao pinched his palms and said to Li Luo in a serious tone:
"Have you noticed something is wrong? Why can we feel 'gaze'?"

They always feel like they are being watched, as if something is watching them.

However, humans do not have this sense.

Vision, hearing, smell, taste, touch... This strange sense of voyeurism does not come from the five senses, but from another perception.

"We don't see the 'eyes', but we can feel those gazes. We don't hear anything, smell anything, but we can feel that they are beside us. Why is that?"

It was such a strange thing that the two of them only realized it now.

This "sixth sense" had unknowingly blended into their original perceptions, as if it were a feeling they were born with.

Zhou Chao closed his eyes, then covered his ears, and let himself fall into silence.

He held his breath and quietly felt his surroundings. The free light spots in the air slowly fell from the sky and floated onto his body.

The starry forest was extremely peaceful. The breeze caressed Zhou Chao's body and the coolness of the night slowly seeped in. After blocking out everything, he could still feel the presence wandering around him.

In ancient trees, in the air, underground, in water drops... they are everywhere.

Finally, Zhou Chao understood.

"I know what we feel..."

"That's their—heart."
