Urban Legends: The Legacy of Ancient Civilizations

The two continued to explore inside. The stone floor was covered with a thick layer of dust. Stepping on it would leave very obvious footprints.

The two of them had walked outside the temple before, and they had never seen so much dust on the ground. To be more arbitrary, the outside was almost spotless, and its cleanliness proved that this was indeed an underground confined space.

A completely different scene suddenly appeared inside and outside the temple, which made Bai Ning and Jiang Yingxue's nerves tense subconsciously.

Within the scope of the flashlight, there were still no traces of ruins, and the imagined sight of a large number of boulders piled up did not appear.

What made the two people even more uncomfortable was that the further they advanced towards the central area of ​​the temple, the thicker the dust under their feet became, and it was now able to cover the uppers of their shoes.

It's hard to imagine what is constantly generating dust in this temple.

Could it be that some part of this temple is connected to other spaces?

For example, there are other spaces dedicated to keeping strange creatures in captivity. Since this space has a specialized ecosystem, all the dust floats here.

Due to the natural settlement of dust, it shows the overall characteristics of being thin on the outside and thick on the inside.

"Did you feel that when we entered the temple, the emotional disturbance that had been bothering us disappeared?"

Feeling that her mind was clearer than ever before, and because the current situation was becoming increasingly difficult to understand, Jiang Yingxue recounted her findings.

It's obviously just a temple, but the robots controlled by the management core don't dare to come in, which makes it even more strange.

The situation on the field is indeed too unusual. The source of the thickening dust cannot be explained, and the changes in the core management are even more difficult to understand. This makes this place full of more mystery.

"If this is a restricted area for robots, getting Aaron in is also a good choice."

Bai Ning did not express any intention to retreat, and Jiang Yingxue was somewhat confused by Bai Ning's ambiguous response.

The two people walked out in a hurry, and the dust that they left quickly rose up. It seemed that the temple, which had been silent for an unknown period of time, became lively again.

The light shines directly on the place where Aaron was before. All the equipment is there and has not been taken away by the robots dispatched by the management core.

Perhaps, from the perspective of the management core, Aaron's half-dead existence no longer poses any threat to him.

As Jiang Yingxue stated before, when they stepped out of the temple gate, the unusually familiar emotional fluctuations began to surge wildly in their minds.

This sudden return, coupled with the previous hasty evacuation, almost caused Jiang Yingxue's mood to collapse instantly.

The two of them picked up Aaron on the ground, put all the equipment on their backs, and then returned to the temple at a faster speed.

As soon as he stepped in, it seemed that the whole world had become quiet, and Jiang Yingxue, whose mood had stabilized again, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

“It’s not easy yet.

According to usual logic, this temple should be the focus of the management core, but now even the robots dare not come in.

This may indicate that something changed in this temple, causing the management core to lose control of this place.

Otherwise, it means that there is some unknown risk in this temple, which makes the management core decide that we will die if we come here. "

Bai Ning's judgment was still calm, and Jiang Yingxue was even more surprised by the dangerous judgment here.

The temple represents the highest authority of the entire religious civilization. Even if the people in this ancient ruins believe in some strange ways, it is impossible for a temple to become a place of death.

Could it be that there is some evil god believed in in this ancient ruins?

"The dust accumulation characteristics in the temple are indeed strange. There must be some special secrets hidden behind this special mechanism.

However, just being careful doesn't mean anything.

Special temples also represent special opportunities. As outsiders, we must explore this place. "

The mentality returned to normal, and Jiang Yingxue's elite characteristics were revealed. The situation she stated seemed to be their fate.

It's something that's been preset, and it's something they will definitely experience after coming here.

"what!……"

While the two were talking, a slightly hoarse roar suddenly sounded. While their hearts were shocked, they both knew at the same time that this was Aaron waking up.

The people woke up, but this unusual way of waking up forced them to be on guard against Aaron, who was covering his head and roaring crazily.

At this time, Aaron's state was approaching collapse, which showed that something in the temple was constantly stimulating Aaron, causing him to fall into some inexplicable madness.

After being attacked by the tentacles, Aaron has been in a coma, no different from the living dead.

In the previous analysis, once attacked by a tentacle, Aaron's soul was in a very unstable state, and there was nothing that could reset his soul.

However, they just moved Aaron to the temple and did not make any special response before Aaron woke up again.

This kind of awakening is abnormal and also incomprehensible.

If Aaron's rage is a normal state after he wakes up, perhaps Aaron is already in a state of complete madness at this time, and it is even possible that his unstable soul will be stimulated twice, which will lead to the human body entering a preparatory state for spontaneous combustion.

Bai Ning took out the compass and checked it. There was no serious magnetic field anomaly, and it was not a preparatory state for spontaneous combustion of the human body.

However, the crazy Aaron is not a good sign. If the crazy Aaron really has a strong desire to attack, maybe this will become Aaron's burial place.

The two of them stared nervously at Aaron in front of them, and found that his pain characteristics were getting lower and lower, and finally he lay weakly on the ground, but still covered his head with both hands, showing an extremely tolerable pain. .

"Aaron?"

Jiang Yingxue called softly, but did not elicit any response from Aaron.

The long silence between the three people seemed to make time here tend to stand still. Even though Aaron's painful wails had stopped, his performance still proved that he was in pain, the feeling of pain that penetrated his bones.

There is no doubt that Aaron is a tough guy with a strong body, and he can make him suffer so much that he has no time to care about it. This is enough to show the extent of pain that bothers him.

Could it be that the special mechanism of the temple allowed Aaron's soul to temporarily reset, but the disharmony between the soul and the body touched the pain that seemed to come from the depths of the soul, making Aaron miserable?

Bai Ning only made a guess about the coma mechanism of the tentacles. No one knew what state Aaron was in at this time, and no one could figure out a way to save Aaron.

"Painkillers."

It was as if three words were squeezed out from deep between the teeth. After a long time, Aaron said these words hoarsely.

Jiang Yingxue took out the emergency medicine bag, took out a handful of anti-inflammatories and painkillers and handed them to Aaron.

At this time, Aaron could barely sit up. Judging from the tightness of his whole body, every move he made was an extreme experience of pain that penetrated his bones.

As if to achieve rapid absorption, Aaron chewed all the pills first, and then swallowed them with a mouthful of water.

I don’t know whether the medicine is bitter or not. Anyway, even these small actions are a kind of torture for Aaron.

"Why, do you still remember the scene when you were unconscious?"

Bai Ning asked. Aaron seemed a little sluggish after taking the painkillers, or he was fighting the pain from the depths of his soul, so he didn't respond immediately.

Both of them were very patient, waiting slowly for the important reply from Aaron.

"The memory is very blurry. I only vaguely remember that I was patrolling here, and suddenly my whole body tightened, as if I was entangled by something.

I wanted to warn, but my neck was also wrapped around me, and I quickly fell into a coma due to suffocation. "

Aaron's response was very simple. Judging from the way he struggled to speak, it seemed that the painkillers wouldn't have much effect.

"Can you fully describe your current abnormal state?"

Bai Ning did not correct the misunderstanding in Aaron's words, but simply understood Aaron's current situation in a concise and comprehensive manner.

There was another long silence, as if Aaron's neurofeedback had fallen into a dull state due to his long coma.

“I can’t describe it in detail, I just feel a lot of pain, every part of my body where there are nerve endings hurts.

Taking painkillers can only partially relieve it. The pain seems to come from the depths of the soul, and it is like a kind of neurological phantom pain.

In addition, my ability to control my body is weakening now, and I feel like my consciousness is floating on the surface of my body.

This feeling is very strange. Sometimes I even feel that I have become free from the surface of my body, drifting outward but unable to get out, and drilling inward but unable to penetrate. "

Aaron's description at this time was similar to the experience of some people who were near death. The state of soul dissociation he described seemed to confirm Bai Ning's previous speculation about the tentacle mechanism.

What is the connection mechanism between the soul and the body is reflected in some rumors or urban legends, but it is obvious that the beings in this ancient ruins are very proficient in this, and even this temple can partially to stabilize the soul of the human body.

"We have now left the underground cavity where we were. After we left, you were in a coma. You didn't wake up again until you came to this temple."

Bai Ning briefly recounted his previous experience. Aaron also seemed a little shocked when he heard that so many supernatural phenomena had happened to him.

He turned around and looked around, but it was a pity that the various secrets in this temple were still hidden in the darkness.

Darkness, just like the master here, is comatose in darkness and wakes up in darkness. It is unpredictable darkness, but it seems to be a darkness that can swallow everything.

The past, the future, the present, everything will return to darkness.
