I'm trapped in a cube

After being trapped in that unknown space and his consciousness sinking into the flying sword, Wang Chuan tried to struggle and escape, but no matter where he went, he was surrounded by an endless "laser maze".

"Laser?" Li Luo remembered that when he broke the diamond-shaped metal just now, he seemed to see some lasers bursting out, but they disappeared very quickly. It seems that the laser also has some effect.

"Yes, lasers. Those lasers are a kind of maze-like prison. Once you are inside it, you will just keep spinning around and cannot reach the edge. You will be 'confined' to the center of space." Fei Jian explained to Li Luo.

"Later, I studied the maze and roughly understood the principles of those lasers. They are not pure lasers, but a kind of force-carrying rays."

"The force they exert is unidirectional, radiating from the source of the ray and heading straight to the end, appearing as laser rays."

"These lasers shoot from the outer wall of the spirit towards the center of the internal space of the structure. The number of lasers coming from each direction is fixed, and the force will reach a balance at the center. When the object receiving the force wants to leave the center, it will be restrained back to the center by those lasers."

"As you get closer to the source of the lasers, which is the outer wall, the repulsive force you experience becomes stronger and stronger. You will be surrounded by those inward-facing lasers. No matter where you go, you will eventually return to the center of the maze and be constrained at the absolute midpoint of a 'force balance'..."

Listening to Fei Jian's explanation, Li Luo nodded. She roughly understood the principle of that kind of laser.

"Is that a physical photon?" she tried to ask the flying sword.

"That could be the case. I'm trapped by those lasers anyway, but that's only part of the reason. Even if I could break through the restraints of those lasers, I couldn't break the metal wall. This metal is stronger than any metal known to man. It will only be damaged in extreme circumstances, like what you just did."

"So if you break the metal shell, you can get out?"

"Yes, you not only destroyed the outer shell, but also the stable laser structure inside. Once the light cannot be balanced, it will quickly dissipate." Fei Jian answered firmly.

But after hearing Wang Chuan's answer, Li Luo did not respond immediately. Instead, he lowered his head and thought about the short-lived laser just now...

"No." Li Luo shook his head: "It didn't dissipate because it lost its balance, but because it came into contact with the air..."

After a while, it finally made a sound of sudden realization:

"Yes! Yes! It's just like you said!"

Li Luo did not immediately change his form from the purple goat-headed man. Instead, he looked at the flying sword for a while and then looked into the distance.

"What did you call those metals just now? Heavenly Soldiers? Why are they called that?" She was still upset about the name Fei Jian had given to those metals before.

"Yes, Heavenly Soldiers, that's their name, but I also heard it from outside. I've heard people call them Heavenly Soldiers."

"Who?" Li Luo was stunned. She didn't expect there was someone else here.

"I don't know. I only heard people talking outside. I couldn't see what was happening outside. I only knew that the Heavenly Soldier was using the power of the flying sword to fight with others. Then those people called it the Heavenly Soldier, and it was an activated Heavenly Soldier..."

"Activated state? What does that mean?"

"I'm not sure either." Fei Jian replied, "But I can roughly guess... those heavenly soldiers who can only charge should be inactive, and the one who caught me, who already has abilities, should be in the activated state."

After hearing Fei Jian's answer, Li Luo suddenly realized a terrible fact: the dividing line between activated and unactivated heavenly soldiers is whether or not they have "eaten" humans.

"The heavenly soldier who refined you into a relic was activated..."

"Those relics that have not been refined are inactivated."

"so……"

"The Heavenly Soldiers were created just to capture people and create relics?"

This can be easily inferred, so this is also the reason why those heavenly soldiers attacked humans. They were obtaining their own "activation conditions" and turning humans who possessed the relics into their own power to complete their "promotion."

"What exactly are these heavenly soldiers?" Li Luo asked in surprise.

There are actually such things that treat humans as prey?

An inexplicable fear arose in her heart, it was the fear of predators. Humans have always been at the top of the food chain, and now, above humans, there is another layer of unknown existence?

Or, are the heavenly soldiers simply "preying" on living creatures indiscriminately, and humans are just one of them?

At the moment, only the flying sword that claims to be "Wang Chuan" can answer her questions.

"What else do you know?"

"I only know that the heavenly soldiers are often fighting. There must be other humans in this city. There are a lot of them, but most of them are helpless against the heavenly soldiers. They will choose to flee when they encounter them, especially when they encounter activated heavenly soldiers. After chasing them for a while, the heavenly soldiers will lose their traces. They must have some special hiding methods."

"What do the heavenly soldiers usually do? Apart from hunting humans, do they do anything else?" Li Luo continued to ask.

"Basically, no. Most of the sky soldiers have a certain patrol range and only wander around in a fixed range, just like the monsters in the game that automatically circle around. Once they attract their attention, they will attack in groups. The sky soldier that imprisoned me only patrols in the hangar and has never gone out. I don't know if there is any difference between the sky soldiers in other places."

Li Luo was listening to Fei Jian's story and suddenly caught a piece of information.

"You said that the heavenly soldier who held you captive has been in the hangar all this time?"

"right."

"That means, there are people coming to the hangar frequently? And having conflicts with the heavenly soldiers here?" Li Luo asked.

"Yes, people come here often. This is definitely a very important place. They want to get something here, but I don't know what it is. But when I meet them, it means that the heavenly soldiers have discovered them, and a fight will break out soon..."
