I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 880 Three Lonely Souls

"Hold it, point it at yourself, and press this button..."

The team leader carefully explained the operation of the dream catcher.

"Next, you have to go on your own..."

He slowly stepped back and smiled at Hu Le.

"Team Leader...can't you come with me?"

"I am just your dream, of course not. That place is reality for you, but it is just another dream for me."

"I'm worried that I won't be able to find it back..." Hu Le said with some concern.

He had just learned from the team leader how difficult it was to "find reality".

It is said to be "500 layers", but in fact dreams are not "numbered" and he cannot see the so-called layers. He can only look back layer by layer and find the only "real" one in the already chaotic dream under the abyss.

Not to mention, every level of dreams is identical, and the dream catcher can't help him lock onto reality.

He could only rely on himself to sift through layer after layer of dreams, and use his mysterious intuition to determine the one that looked "most correct".

This is a difficult process, and Hu Le is not sure of success, but since he has chosen to "wake up", he must take this path.

"Team leader, are you going to continue to the top of the abyss?"

"Well, I have to find other people first... After all, no one above the abyss cares about me. I wonder if there is anyone among us who can meet the conditions for a dream." The team leader said as he shook his head helplessly.

“Everyone is lonely…”

Listening to the team leader's mumbling, Hu Le felt a pain in his chest.

They are all forgotten people.

"Don't worry, team leader, we will definitely succeed." Hu Le encouraged the team leader.

However, the team leader smiled and shook his head again.

“We are bound to fail.”

"Why?" Hu Le asked in surprise. He didn't know why the team leader said that.

"Because...when you told me your story just now, I already knew the result. Twenty years later, no one still knows that Mengdu is a prison. This means that we have failed, and we have failed completely."

The team leader said something despairing with a smile on his face.

Hu Le's eyes suddenly widened, and there was a buzzing sound in his mind.

"Yes, yes... Twenty years later, no one knew about this." Hu Le's voice trembled a little and his face was pale.

Only then did he figure out the logic: If the team leader had succeeded, the news that Mengdu was a prison should have spread long ago.

"Do not worry about it."

Seeing that Hu Le was in a bad condition, the team leader reached out and gently patted Hu Le on the shoulder.

"Isn't there a 'uniqueness' here? Maybe things can turn around?"

The team leader smiled faintly again, seeming to be full of confidence in what he was about to do.

"Anyway, we should give it a try. What if...what if something changes?"

He stood in front of Hu Le with a strong build, his face full of tenderness, but that face seemed a little out of place.

The team leader should have been quite handsome, but his face, which should have been simple and clean, was covered with stubble.

Because he is too busy with work, the team leader is often too lazy to take care of himself. He wears a research coat for half a month and throws it away when it gets dirty. Except when entering the sterile room, he always looks sloppy.

Despite his sloppy appearance, he is actually very efficient and decisive in his work. He never allows any delays in the project plans. Once a team member makes a mistake, he will be subjected to humiliation and abuse.

Those team members with a bad mentality may even be scolded to tears.

Hu Le always felt that the team leader was very strict with them and often scolded them, but he didn't expect that the team leader could be so gentle at times...

"Team leader, you're not like yourself anymore."

"What do you mean?" "You look like the protagonist of the game, your whole body is glowing."

"..."

The team leader's expression suddenly froze, and then he hit Hu Le directly on the head.

"Take care along the way."

He spoke softly, then turned around and walked towards the colorful ocean. His white research suit became colorful under the shining light, as if it was splashed with gorgeous paint.

Like the protagonists of those games, the team leader did not look back, his back gradually blurred and disappeared into the colorful light...

Hu Le just stood there, looking at the place where the team leader disappeared, for a long time.

"time to go."

He said this to himself, and also to Mo Ling in the cube.

In this dream world filled with colorful pixels, he was the only one left.

The two consciousnesses intertwined and overlapped in distorted colorful light.

"Let's go."

Mo Ling in the cube moved his lips slightly and responded softly. He and the leader of this robot research group should have been strangers, but now a faint sadness rose in his heart.

Hu Le's consciousness affected him, but he did not resist and let his emotions spread.

Mo Ling hasn't felt this way for a long time...

"Are they friends? It seems that Hu Le and the team leader are not friends either."

It was just two lonely souls who found something in common with each other.

Thinking back on himself, Mo Ling felt that he was probably also a lonely person.

"If I were to go and send a message in a dream, would I be able to find the person who sent the message?"

It seemed that there was no one he knew in Dawn City. Perhaps, there were few people he knew in this world.

He was just a rootless duckweed drifting around and didn't belong here.

What about the world before that? After being here for so long, is there anyone in that world who still misses him?

Can dreams bring him back to his original world and help him find his old friends?

Mo Ling shook his head, feeling that he was overthinking.

What happened to him was much stranger than a dream. Perhaps the distance between him and his previous world was so great that he couldn't even dream of overcoming it...

"Let's think about how to get back to reality first."

……

Hu Le sighed and looked at the dream catcher in his hand.

He also felt the loneliness coming from Mo Ling's consciousness, but the two of them were in the same boat and neither could save the other, so they could only focus on the things at hand.

Following the operating sequence taught by the team leader, Hu Le first aimed the dream catcher at himself, and then adjusted the parameters on the device.

After taking a deep breath, he pressed the button.

Call ~
A gust of wind blew across Hu Le's cheek. This time, the wind seemed much stronger than before...

While still feeling the strange sensation brought by the dream catcher, suddenly, the wind became violent and changed direction, directly sweeping up Hu Le who was standing on the ground.

Hu Le didn't react for a moment and almost lost the dream catcher in his hand.

Fortunately, he adjusted his body in time so that he would not be blown around by the wind, and slowly stabilized in the rising airflow.

It seemed to be getting farther and farther away from the ground, and the wind seemed to be blowing Hu Le into the sky, throwing him into the chaotic colors.

At the same time, a double image appeared in front of Hu Le's eyes again...
