Urban Legends: The Legacy of Ancient Civilizations

"Let's not talk about where this illusion core will be hidden. Let's assume the simplest answer. If the illusion core you mentioned is on the third floor underground, how do you want to take it out?"

Both sides were silent for a moment, and Gogol's words were decisive. The irony in it was obvious - the proposal to destroy the core of the illusion was an unrealistic fantasy, easy to say but not easy to implement.

Through this response from Gogol, a very simple conclusion can be drawn:

The three underground floors cannot be easily reached, either through the inherent passages of the outpost research base or by actively digging shortcuts.

This means that the radiation range of the illusion core should be spherical. No matter which direction you try to break in, you will eventually reach the boundary of the illusion maze.

“As soon as people start to have doubts in their thoughts, they will be immediately pulled into the maze of illusions.

Based on such characteristics, do you think that if a patient with intellectual disability enters it, he will be able to pass through the first and second underground floors smoothly? "

After the previous foreshadowing, Bai Ning's sudden suggestion was like a bombshell, causing Gogol's slightly contemptuous expression to freeze instantly, and then became distorted to a certain extent.

This change of expression is too obvious. Assuming that Gogol has never entered the maze of illusions, in order to keep this secret, he will definitely not show such an exaggerated facial expression.

Only Gogol has entered the environmental maze, and due to blind spots in thinking, or not paying attention to the characteristics of the initial illusion, he ignored this level of solution.

This extreme mood swing shows that Gogol's heart was too volatile at this time, and he had so many things to care about that he had no intention of doing any superficial cover-up.

This is the first time Gogol has shown such a gaffe.

This is also the inevitable performance of an obsessed person after seeing hope. The more he desires light in the darkness, the attraction of the starlight to him will increase infinitely as time goes on.

"What, are you surprised?

You shouldn't have even done this basic experience summary, right? "

Bai Ning deliberately provoked, which made Gogol's deformed face return to coldness again, without any emotion of shame or anger, as if it was not Gogol who just lost his composure.

"Your overall idea is correct, but how can you be sure that mentally retarded people will not have doubts?

There is no doubt in the strange environment. Except for robots, no animal can be as calm as water. "

Gogol quickly partially rejected Bai Ning's proposal. It was not a bluff and unreasonable rebuttal, but the objective reasons were very sufficient.

It is hard to believe that just now Gogol was in the midst of violent emotional fluctuations and could return to absolute rationality in an instant.

This appearance further proves that Gogol must have experienced a fantasy, and his only surviving attribute, his twisted personality, is definitely not a coincidence.

"Can the follow-up helicopter transport a crawler robot?"

Based on Gogol's addition, Bai Ning turned around and asked Jiang Yingxue, seeming to agree with Gogol's idea.

“Let’s not talk about the problem of signal relay. Even if we reach the third underground floor through the machine, this does not mean any victory.

The 3D base map given by Gogol has clearly marked all the roads, which is already the limit of the machine.

After all, the role of machines is limited, and it is impossible to completely replace the intensity of human exploration. "

At first, when Bai Ning mentioned the solution to the illusion, Jiang Yingxue was a little excited, but as the topic deepened, he actually wasn't interested in the follow-up.

There are many land exploration robots now, but their functionality cannot completely replace humans. The functionality of machine pliers cannot match that of human hands, nor can they replace humans in doing extremely precise tasks.

Robots can't do it, and humans can't cross the maze of illusions. Everything seems to be back to the starting point, which makes everyone in the scene fall into silence again.

"Gogol, you are always so ambiguous and mysterious in your actions. It can't be because you don't know how to get through the maze of illusions, right?

As for the existence you said can unlock the final secret of Tunguska, isn't it just your personal wishful thinking? "

After a long silence, Bai Ning suddenly changed the topic and expressed his previous doubts about Gogol's ability.

This was almost an act of betrayal. It seemed that the current setbacks had caused Bai Ning to lose his sense of proportion, leading to uncontrollable civil strife.

Jiang Yingxue would not think so of such a superficial move, but she did not understand the purpose of Bai Ning's abrupt move.

Do you want to force Gogol to submit?

With Gogol's gloomy and domineering character, he would never give in so easily.

Gogol will only do what he wants to do and what he feels he should do in accordance with his intended purpose, and will not change himself at all due to external pressure.

This is a stubborn character trait that has been verified through a lot of games, and it is impossible for Bai Ning not to know it.

“To say this is a desperate situation, that’s not quite the case.

Judging from the current overall situation, your performance is indeed very good. You were able to draw such a wonderful conclusion after only a brief exposure to the illusion, and with the help of these inferences, you tried to decipher the illusion.

However, if the illusion is so easy to crack, it won't be your turn to try.

The road ahead of you, a newbie, is indeed gone.

If you want to give up, you can leave now.

If you want to persevere, you can only continue to experience the wonders of the illusion yourself and try to find a more reliable way to crack it. "

Facing Bai Ning's doubts, Gogol's face showed no displeasure and his tone was calm, as if he had predicted Bai Ning's behavior.

"How many illusions have you experienced at most?"

Faced with Gogol, who no longer concealed some key details, Bai Ning's topic became even more pointed.

As Gogori said before, people who are deeply trapped in illusions, whenever they hear this question, either go crazy or start killing people randomly.

If the environment here has already reminded Gogol of something, causing endless doubts in his heart again, so that he enters the illusion again, perhaps an extremely cruel and cruel Gogol will appear here.

"This is a secret, you'd better not ask more."

Gogol's smile was very forced at this time, as if he was forcibly suppressing some bad mood swings.

Obviously, this is an external manifestation of Gogol's inner demons. Forcibly suppressing his doubts about the real world is an extremely painful thing in itself.

Fear remains in the illusion, which itself is the only motivation to break through the illusion.

However, how do you know whether all your efforts in thinking are useless efforts that lead you into another illusion?

The most painful thing in this world is when you feel that you have left the illusion, but when you look back silently, you find that you are still trapped in the illusion.

"I am indeed a little curious, you have failed here so many times, why are you so persistent in coming back here?

The ultimate secret you stated before, is this a real thing?

Or, to put it another way, does this kind of thing really mean anything to you? "

Bai Ning's follow-up questions were still sharp, which made the expression on Gogol's face even more unnatural, like a sign before final collapse.

If Ivan's obsession is to pursue supernatural technology such as soul manipulation, then his obsession can be implemented.

But what is Gogol’s obsession?

It seems that both Ivan and Gogol are pursuing the obsession of their grandfathers, but there is an essential difference between the two.

Gogol's grandfathers were engaged in orthodox scientific research. How come he became obsessed with supernatural treasures?

Could it be that the three generations of Gogol and his grandson really wanted to obtain something from the outpost research base, but due to the influence of the illusion labyrinth, when they arrived at Gogol's place, this thing was transformed into a "secret treasure that can glimpse the secrets of the world" ".

Meaning is always the most wanted thing to pursue in fantasy, and the powerful obsession itself needs the ultimate meaning as its core support.

According to Bai Ning's understanding of illusions, illusions are a reappearance of profound memories from the past, causing people to eventually collapse in repeated illusions that are difficult to distinguish between true and false.

Gogol was able to get out of this illusion through his strong obsession and self-identity, but what happens when he returns to real life itself?

The stability, boringness, and repetitiveness of the real world may be the illusion itself in the eyes of an extremely doubtful person!

Doubting the illusion itself is what Gogol has repeatedly experienced in the previous infinite illusions. When this uncontrollable doubt reappears in real life, when this abnormal mental fluctuation appears repeatedly, it cannot be contained. If he wants to prove it or not, then Gogol needs an opportunity to prove it again.

Judging from the clues currently available, leading the expedition team to continuously attack the outpost research base seems to be Gogol's common method to prove or disprove illusions.

A very strange way of feedback. Perhaps Gogol was driven crazy by his extremely doubtful thinking and boring repetitive life!

Bringing different people to explore the outpost research base, and repeatedly escaping from the fantasy maze in the outpost research base, this recurring behavior may be the entire meaning of Gogol's current life.

As for the so-called great secret treasure, whoever masters it will be qualified to spy on the secrets of the world. It is just an adventure gimmick set up by Gogol.

Based on this logical line, Gogol's reluctance to reveal too much key information in past contacts is a well-understood behavioral pattern.

Gogol is good at mixing some key information among many ambiguous terms. This may be one of his common methods for verifying illusion and reality.
