I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 496 Heart Feeling
"What we feel is not the actual 'gaze', but their 'curiosity'!" Zhou Chao said excitedly.

"They have such longing and curiosity in their minds. They want to understand us two outsiders. They want to know what we are thinking and understand our hearts."

Zhou Chao clearly expressed the "heart" he felt.

It is precisely because of this unconcealed "curiosity" that they feel like they are being watched and that someone is observing them.

Even though the block has absorbed a lot of light spots, curiosity still has not disappeared. Zhou Chao felt a slight fear, but it quickly disappeared. Instead, curiosity became stronger and stronger.

"Why can we feel those thoughts?"

Zhou Chao raised his arms and looked at the free spots of light passing through his body, and he probably had an idea in his mind.

“Is it because of these spots of light?”

He stretched out his hand and tried to grasp those light spots in his palm, but those light spots passed through his palm and came out from the back of his hand.

A trace of emotional fluctuation was transmitted along Zhou Chao's body to the light spot. After passing through Zhou Chao, the light spot, which was originally glowing blue, also turned slightly purple.

"Do you have a material detector? I want to see what these light spots are." Zhou Chao asked Li Luo.

"Of course." Li Luo nodded, rummaged through his backpack, and took out a round electronic board that looked like a compass from under a pile of snacks.

Zhou Chao took the electronic board, placed it flat in the air, and let a free light spot fall on it.

The numbers on the edge of the electronic board changed. Zhou Chao looked at the code formed by these numbers and returned the electronic board to Li Luo.

"What is it?" Li Luo asked curiously.

"Pure electrons, free electron clusters, are like ball lightning..." Zhou Chao said in confusion, "But they are not as violent as ball lightning."

"It's a very stable grid structure, in which electrons run and reverberate regularly, and it can withstand very strong stimulation."

"Stimulate?"

Zhou Chao seemed to have thought of something and quickly grabbed a spot of light nearby.

Then he closed his eyes again and felt it carefully.

It was a long time before he opened his eyes again.

"These are the free consciousness. The reason why we can feel the 'heart' is because of these points of light."

"They may come from other animated objects, or from other organisms. In their free state, they are a piece of 'thought', and when they gather together, they will produce independent consciousness. The sound we heard before came from the consciousness group formed by these light points."

Zhou Chao looked at Li Luo and said very seriously: "I know why these light spots occupy the bodies of other animated creatures."

"If you think of the original consciousness as a puddle, these light spots are the water drops flowing into it. When the water drops become more and more, the original puddle will become a large lake. The puddle will also lose control of itself and can only be swept away by various consciousnesses and drift with the flow."

After listening to Zhou Chao's explanation, Li Luo pondered for a moment and said, "So, these light spots are actually consciousness? The reason why we have that strange sixth sense is just because we come into contact with these light spots?"

"Yes." Zhou Chao nodded: "This forest is a huge gathering place of consciousness. There are free consciousnesses everywhere. It is impossible for us not to be disturbed by these consciousnesses, so we can feel what they are thinking."

After hearing this, Li Luo was still a little confused: "Don't these free consciousnesses need a carrier?"

"Of course."

"What is the carrier?" Li Luo asked.

Hearing Li Luo's question, Zhou Chao raised his head and looked at the blue light band and the ancient tree dotted with stars. "Starlight."

"Starlight is the carrier of these consciousnesses. It connects the entire forest together, allowing consciousnesses to roam freely in it. These consciousnesses can freely choose their own bodies, or they can choose not to choose a body and wander around."

Hearing this, Li Luo also raised his head and looked at the starlight that was everywhere.

"So, they want to 'connect' us so that we can join them... Then our bodies will become part of this forest, and our consciousness will be separated from the body, becoming a point of light wandering in this forest..."

Li Luo muttered to himself in a daze, feeling a surge of fear in his heart.

No one wants to share their body, right?
What exactly does the Eye of the Stars want to do in this forest?
By doing this, is it trying to create some "shared bodies"? Or does it want a body of its own?
Li Luo felt the spying of the consciousnesses around him. There was only a hint of curiosity in their "hearts", but it made Li Luo feel creepy.

That kind of curiosity is like a diner sitting at a dining table, admiring the delicious food on the table, without any emotion, but extremely indifferent and cruel.

Just as Li Luo and Zhou Chao were thinking about the horror of this starlight forest, some strange figures appeared in Mo Ling's vision.

Mo Ling, who was originally listening to the discussion between the two, immediately shifted his attention and stared at these figures.

"They are coming this way." Mo Ling quickly determined their direction, but did not act rashly.

Because, this is a team of humans, a team of fully armed humans.

Moreover, Mo Ling was very familiar with the combat uniform and logo on his body.

"Sky Island Investigation Team..."

Mo Ling stared closely at this group of humans. They were moving freely among the starlight, as if they were very familiar with this forest, and were heading straight towards this side.

There seemed to be no need for them to communicate at all. There were always some free spots of light surrounding them, interweaving with each other. The alternating red and blue spots of light seemed to be replacing language and conveying information.

The group of people moved very quickly and arrived nearby in no time.

Li Luo and Zhou Chao also noticed the figures emerging from the starlight.

When Zhou Chao saw this group of people for the first time, he was stunned.

They were wearing the same combat uniforms with the same logos on them, and even the style of the gas masks were exactly the same.

Zhou Chao looked at his clothes, then looked at the group of team members in the distance, feeling dazed.

"How could this be?" he muttered in disbelief.

However, he did not hesitate for long. He quickly reacted and stood in front of Li Luo.

"Stop! Who are you!" he shouted at the team that was dressed exactly like him.

After hearing Zhou Chao's warning, the team stopped immediately, with no intention of offending anyone.

The leader took a few steps forward, stood under the starlight, and took off his mask.

The first time he saw that man, Zhou Chao was confused again.

"team leader?"
