Urban Legends: The Legacy of Ancient Civilizations

If Pale Gogol and Skinny Gogol are both part of the real Gogol, then Gogol who is on the second underground floor will obviously have a more difficult time.

According to the general process of breaking through, if Gogol was in despair on the second underground floor, he would not be qualified to go to the third underground floor.

However, the real Gogol outside once said that the first and second underground floors were under the control of Bai Ning, and the third underground floor was not under the control of his Gogol.

Under this distribution plan, the first and second floors of the fantasy maze will be simpler in theory. Only the third underground floor requires an experienced veteran like Gogol to solve some thorny problems.

If you think about it this way, it either means that the endless void in front of you is just a flower shelf, or that the pale Gogol left on the third underground floor is probably just a copy of Gogol in the core of the illusion.

Perhaps, Gogol has never crossed the second underground level, and all the Gogols who can reach the third underground level are just copies of the core of the illusion.

Through his own ability to forget, Gogol left all the memories in the illusory maze here. The skinny Gogol who stayed here also forgot everything outside the illusory maze.

Without external memories, Skinny Gogol himself is already a part of the core of the illusion. He is a part of the core of the illusion that cannot be analyzed, so he can only stay in place forever.

“Everything here is fake, you are fake and I am fake too.

The endless void is fake, but it can trap you. This is not because of your incompetence, just because the core of the illusion has no way to do anything to you.

You are a problem that cannot be solved by the core of the illusion. You are a door with no solution. There is no way for you to leave from the core of the illusion, because your body does not exist in this maze of illusion.

I can let you leave, but only if you let me leave. "

Bai Ning's words sounded very convoluted, but Skinny Gogol suddenly opened his eyes. His sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through everything about Bai Ning.

“The door is me, I am the door.

The reason why I can't leave is because this place does not belong to me. Just because I am staying temporarily, I can only be trapped in the same place forever. "

After talking to himself, the skinny Gogol finally stood up with difficulty. There were clicking sounds from his skinny legs, as if all the shackles that bound him had fallen off automatically.

The skinny Gogol standing up has not changed at all, his appearance and features remain the same, and he looks old, which is far from the real Gogol outside.

"You said I can let you leave, how can you leave?"

The skinny Gogol asked himself without realizing that there was an open elevator door behind him.

"I told you, you are the answer itself."

Bai Ning walked calmly to the elevator door, looked inside, and found that the ropes from before were still there. These were things in spiritual fantasy, and their existence was very reasonable.

Without saying too much, Bai Ning and Skinny Gogol climbed out of the elevator shaft and returned to the underground level.

It was a very strange feeling. A memory that Gogol had forgotten on his own initiative was following Bai Ning. This seemed very strange.

Could it be that the core of the illusion doesn't want to keep this memory of Gogol and wants Bai Ning to take him out?

But, what are the secrets in the three underground floors?

Can that pale Gogol who disappeared out of thin air reappear again?

After leaving this elevator shaft, does Bai Ning still need to continue exploring?

With such an illusory memory, can Bai Ning really return to the previous underground warehouse?

You know, if Bai Ning and the skinny Gogol at this time are all loaded into Bai Ning's body, is this another level of schizophrenia?

After Bai Ning took out such fragments of consciousness, how could he send them back to the real Gogol's body?

Is it necessary to bring the real Gogol back to this illusionary maze?

Does this repeated act of entering and exiting the maze of illusions count as falling into the trap of Pale Gogol?

Or perhaps, this itself is a plan by the core of the illusion to devour Gogol.

"Have you always stayed in that void space for so many years?"

Looking forward, Bai Ning pretended to ask the question casually, took advantage of the situation and glanced again, and found that the skinny Gogol had fallen into deep thought again.

"I can't remember clearly. Maybe I have always been in that space."

Skinny Gogol's response was very vague, and it was impossible to tell whether it was perfunctory or not.

"I have seen "you" in various states in this area.

Do you know how these things come about? "

Bai Ning rushed forward and asked a question about a possible clone or a split body of the soul. It seemed unusual no matter how you looked at it.

However, in this maze of illusions filled with too many unknowns, asking whether a ghost is a ghost or whether a beautiful lady is a painted skin is just the normal way of talking at night among mountain ghosts.

If the skinny Gogol suddenly dissipated like a soap bubble with a "pop", Bai Ning would not feel any surprise.

"do not know.

Many of my memories are blank. No matter how much you ask, it will be of no use. "

Skinny Gogol seems to be the memory fragment that the real Gogol abandoned in this illusionary space. It has not disappeared and he still doesn't know anything about it.

Bai Ning did not ask any more questions, but silently led him to the nearest third-floor elevator entrance, set up a rope, and neatly brought the skinny Gogol to the third underground floor.

Skinny Gogol didn't have any objections to going down the well again. He just followed Bai Ning silently, completely unable to guess what he was thinking.

The layout of the three underground floors has become a little different. It looks like a large experimental site. The things left behind are endlessly messy. Apart from some smashed bottles and cans, there are also a large number of bombed experimental equipment.

It's hard to tell what it is used for overall. It makes a muffled sound of "crunch, crunch" when you step on the ruins on the ground, and you can't see any abrupt doors on the left and right.

This is completely different from the first three underground levels that Bai Ning explored. If there is nothing in this ruin, then what is the significance of its existence here?

Could it be that, as the skinny Gogol regained his freedom, did all the replicas of Gogol in the three underground floors disappear?

It is impossible for different Gogols to meet each other.

Continuing to scan around, Bai Ning was about to leave when he suddenly discovered that Skinny Gogol suddenly lifted up a section of the floor, revealing a deep, dark hole underneath.

Four floors underground? !

The four underground floors where even the real Gogol outside is unknown?

If the so-called "secret of the world" is hidden here, how does this skinny Gogol know about it?

How could the core of the illusion let Skinny Gogol know this secret?

I quickly went over and took a look. It was pitch black and the light from the flashlight seemed weak and weak. It only extended a meter or two into the entrance of the cave and then disappeared without a trace.

It completely violates the conventional physical rules. Does this mean that the hole here is a bug in the core of the illusion?

Throwing a piece of debris beside you into the hole, there was a silent response, as if it was being swallowed silently by a black hole.

"What is this and how did you find it?"

Bai Ning asked two questions in succession, but the skinny Gogol beside him didn't answer at all. He suddenly jumped into it and disappeared in an instant.

Do you need to jump in along with me?

This thought just flashed, and a dull thumping sound of a body falling to the ground came from not far away. Bai Ning looked around and saw something falling from the ceiling above his head.

Bai Ning took a closer look and found that it was the skinny Gogol who had just jumped into the deep hole.

Is there really a bug here in the Fantasy Maze?

Or maybe this is a somewhat hopeless endless cycle.

"How's it going? What's inside?"

Although he didn't have any expectations, Bai Ning still opened his mouth to ask.

The skinny Gogol didn't answer, but stood up and walked in a completely unfamiliar direction. Not long after, a doorway leading to other places appeared in the field of vision ahead.

Bai Ning didn't know whether there was a door here originally, but Skinny Gogol was able to walk here by feeling, which meant that it at least existed in Skinny Gogol's memory.

Walking into this doorway, a familiar smell of damp moss hit my face. I hurriedly swept my flashlight forward, but found neither Pale Gogol nor the continuous coniferous forest.

Is it the olfactory illusion given by the fantasy maze?

With confusion in his heart, Bai Ning had to follow Skinny Gogol to see what he wanted to do.

As if he was sleepwalking, the skinny Gogol shuttled back and forth among the three underground floors, passing through so many doorways that Bai Ning had no idea where he was.

The smell in each room is very unique. Some are like the smell of ink from books, and some are like the smell of wooden furniture. But other than the smell feedback, the rooms are all empty. I don’t know where this place is. How big is the space on the third underground floor?

If it weren't for the feedback from the smell in the room, Bai Ning would have felt like he was inexplicably trapped in an endlessly repeating maze of illusions.

In the midst of this seemingly endless following, Bai Ning was inexplicably stunned. Is this the third underground floor or the fourth underground floor?

In this illusion maze, is there any essential difference between the third underground floor and the fourth underground floor?

The downward passage must lead to the fourth underground floor. If it falls from the ceiling of the third underground floor, does it necessarily come from the second underground floor?

If there is a passage that can connect the second and third underground floors so that the internal and external spaces can communicate with each other, this is called a Möbius strip in two dimensions and a Klein bottle in three dimensions.
