Urban Legends: The Legacy of Ancient Civilizations

As long as it is a decision made by Gogol, its correctness is infinitely self-consistent, and other people's mistakes will be infinitely exaggerated.

Jiang Yingxue knew that her first image in Gogol's heart had been finalized, and no matter how she refuted it, she would not get any recognition from Gogol.

The only person here who can communicate normally with Gogol is Bai Ning.

"I hope your confidence will carry through to the end."

Jiang Yingxue responded coldly, then rode away and ignored this man who was so arrogant that he was almost complacent.

Regarding Jiang Yingxue's response, Gogol still did not give any positive response. He just looked at Bai Ning quietly, waiting for his follow-up response.

Bai Ning was a little surprised by Jiang Yingxue's sudden loss of composure. Regardless of whether Gogol's actions at this time were intentional or not, the overall effect he presented on a factual level was just the simplest means of internal differentiation.

If an outsider wants to better control the organization, dividing and disintegrating the trust relationship between the main members is the basic method.

Deliberately neglecting the original leader of the organization forces the original authority structure within the organization into chaos. This is the foundation of the foundation.

Regardless of whether Gogol's actions at this time were due to a coincidence of genius or deliberate action, Bai Ning believed that Jiang Yingxue would wake up in time.

Not wanting to waste too much energy on Jiang Yingxue, Bai Ning could only force himself to focus more on Gogol.

“The conflict between the orthodox scientific school and the supernatural research school that you mentioned before ultimately ended with the victory of the supernatural school.

Such a result will inevitably lead to subsequent research in the direction of the theory of gods and ghosts.

Much of this field is dominated by rumors, and various studies are bound to be filled with absolute uncertainty.

It would be fine if this uncertainty was harmless, but if it caused an irreversible catastrophic result, and there was a lack of corresponding disaster reduction experience, then the outpost would inevitably be in chaos.

The sleep deprivation experiment stands out from the many research directions at the outpost. It may even be the least harmful research direction and the one with the most stable and controllable results.

Among supernatural phenomena, abilities such as telekinesis, mind control, supersensory remote viewing, and teleportation are common knowledge, and precognition, time distortion, and space distortion are not rumors.

If this series of abilities are infinitely amplified during the experiment, the impact will inevitably make all participants feel desperate. "

Bai Ning's subsequent analysis made Gogol even more excited. The advantage of talking to smart people is that the other party can associate some key points based on this without a lot of explanations.

This kind of reasonable inference can save a lot of time in the communication between the two parties, not to mention arguing over huge conflicts in values ​​​​and going to war over the possibility of a guessed result.

A guess is a guess, and the results are the results.

Gogol hated boring arguments very much, because arguments can only create a sense of psychological superiority, and can even make people deceive themselves because of the temporary desire to win or lose.

"You're right, that's probably the case.

The so-called supernatural phenomenon is mainly due to the limitations of human cognition and the inability to use established scientific theories to explain some abnormal phenomena that are beyond common sense.

Failure to systematically explain and reproduce this result will inevitably make the result unverifiable, and one can only believe or not believe it ideally.

This huge uncertainty is a major disaster for the school of paranormal research.

Just like the early research on radioactive materials, many scientists paid the price with their lives.

Nuclear radiation is very similar to the strange surge of energy in supernatural phenomena. It cannot be seen or touched, but it can easily kill an adult. This is where it is absolutely dangerous. "

Although Gogol is the heir to the orthodox scientific school, he has lived in the Tunguska region all his life. It is estimated that three generations of his ancestors have already expanded their research scope to the field of supernatural research.

"Since you are so honest, I can tell you a little secret.

In sleep deprivation experiments, the military's research on ghost bodies has been very mature, and they have developed a set of equipment specifically used to control ghost bodies.

However, due to the instability of the equipment, a spirit riot eventually destroyed the entire research base.

Since this research direction comes from the Outpost Research Base, where is the research on spiritual bodies mainly concentrated? "

Bai Ning's question was very measured and he didn't inquire too much. It was just a general direction of inquiry and would not cause too much resistance from Gogol.

The question was truly devastating, causing everyone nearby to crane their necks to listen carefully.

“The things you mentioned sound complicated, but they can be summed up in two words: telepathy.

Mind control, remote sensing, and teleportation are the three personal superpowers that are most publicized and have a large amount of video evidence.

Psychokinesis, which can also be interpreted as mental power to some extent, is a common rhetoric used to explain the human body's superpowers.

But whether these individual superpower behaviors are really all based on the mental power of the human body is an issue that cannot be proven.

The human nervous system is so complex that the current level of medical research cannot give a definite answer to it. The mental power based on the nervous system is even more elusive.

What exactly are the acupuncture points that you Orientals study, and why pricking needles on the scalp can treat stomach problems? This kind of thing is even more incredible.

At present, no one can give a definite answer as to whether acupuncture points, meridians, and spiritual power are related to each other.

How to find such answers is the focus of the school of paranormal research, and it is also the core reason for the turmoil in the laboratory. "

Gogol did not answer in accordance with Bai Ning's constraints. What he said was more like a divergent perfunctory. However, after careful consideration, the content contained in it was indeed very important, and the enlightening aspects were even more inspiring. People are full of daydreams.

Water flows to lower places, and the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. These are all words of experience. Behind the empirical use, there must be a set of theoretical basis of its own.

Before this set of theories is determined, if its appearance is indeed too bizarre to be summarized and described with rigorous scientific theorems, it will be called a supernatural phenomenon.

For example, the ability to move objects through the air must be that the human body can control some kind of force to move objects, but this process cannot be observed by humans.

Just like radio signals, if people don't know the existence of electromagnetic waves, they will be surprised by the behavior of transmitting signals through the air.

Just because equipment that emits electromagnetic waves can be easily copied, the ability to move objects through space is almost a personal talent that cannot be taught or even inherited.

It is precisely because of the scarcity, non-repeatability and unprovable characteristics of supernatural phenomena that they can only be supernatural phenomena.

It wasn't until this moment that Bai Ning truly understood what Gogol had said before:

There are some things that you won’t believe even if you say them now.

Precisely because the things from the school of paranormal research are rare and even unique, reporting facts is not much different from making up stories.

The unprovable characteristic will lead to endless debates, which is what Gogol hates the most, and is probably the root cause of his misanthropy.

"It's like a beam of light. When it hits water, its speed will slow down. When it hits a prism, it will scatter and produce the most brilliant rainbow.

Light has wave-particle duality, which can be said to be the most magical thing in the world.

Just like various supernatural phenomena, they may have a common principle system, but due to the different methods of use, they will present colorful and rich appearances.

What is even more bizarre is that due to the different carriers of presentation, the various presentations are extremely difficult to copy.

Therefore, if you don't enter this door, you can't get a glimpse of the true mystery inside.

No matter how much we talk about it now, it will have no meaning for future exploration, because you may not be able to meet it at all. "

Bai Ning's summary made Jiang Yingxue and Ivan realize that there was such a huge reason hidden under Gogol's unruly appearance.

Perhaps, what Gogol studied cannot be shared with others. This extreme loneliness and the extreme doubt when facing other people are the fundamental reasons for his domineering character and misanthropy.

Being unclear about explanations and unclear hearing may be the most difficult phenomenon for a smart person like Gogol to accept.

Being understood by Bai Ning gave Gogol a sense of comfort floating in the clouds in the sky. Perhaps this was the charm of a close friend.

Without too many words, the two of them were able to connect with each other and share any common topics with each other, which was really hearty.

This ultimate comfort in communication allowed Gogol to confirm the importance and irreplaceability of Bai Ning as a partner.

At this time, Gogol even felt that if something went wrong at the last moment, he should escape with Bai Ning.

During the short journey, Bai Ning seemed to be trying to make small talk, but in fact, he was using Gogol's character flaws to brainwash him.

The effect of driving Gogol was also very obvious. Jiang Yingxue was even more pleased to witness such a beautiful scene again, and she was even more looking forward to the second half of the journey.

……

It was getting late, and the light in the dense forest was dim and sticky. This half-dead transparency was a signal of danger, and it also foreshadowed that the most dangerous night in the second half of the journey was about to come.

After being tortured by giant wild boars for several nights, the desperadoes began to tidy up the camp without any prompting. The roar of the chainsaw scared away the few remaining birds here, and parts of the huge fallen logs became high-quality fuel. , part of which became a solid peripheral defense.
