Urban Legends: The Legacy of Ancient Civilizations

"Do you think this is related to the core of the illusion that suddenly self-destructed before?"

Having just experienced the self-destruction of the core of the illusion, the Tunguska core explosion area, which had been quiet for decades, changed dramatically again. This is something that anyone can immediately think of.

"There may be a certain correlation, but it won't actually be of much help to our subsequent expeditions."

Bai Ning's response made Jiang Yingxue silent. This was indeed the case. Even if they knew that the changes here were led by the core of the illusion, they could not make any changes.

After the group rested for about a quarter of an hour, Bai Ning gathered the crooked desperadoes together and roughly asked them how they felt at that time.

There was no specificity, and everyone's answers were similar. If Bai Ning hadn't suddenly made some attempts, he would probably have only concluded that the "swishing" sound was something that actually happened.

The trees near the camp had been cut down, and the wood served as the camp's wall. A large number of branches had been burned as fuel. Looking at the few remaining branches, Bai Ning found no trace of a bird's nest.

According to previous observations, any place where birds nest is safe. Their camp is obviously stationed in a dangerous area that can produce mental pollution. Why are the desperadoes in the camp okay?

And why, when Bai Ning returned to the camp and came out again, the auditory hallucinations that followed him all the way disappeared instantly? !

Various self-contradictory phenomena either indicate that the various anomalies in this area are extremely chaotic, or that the previous observations of bird nests are one-sided.

The gathering of bird's nests in local areas has a certain degree of randomness. Furthermore, the changes in the core area of ​​the explosion cannot be considered on the timeline at all.

Perhaps a long time ago, the benignity of an area could indeed be judged by the gathering of bird nests here, but at that time, this summary of the rules was one-sided.

But why can the team regain their composure when they gather at the bird's nest?

No, the subsequent "whispering" auditory hallucinations also occurred in the Bird's Nest area, which shows that the restless comfort of the team is just an illusion, or even a false calm before serious auditory hallucinations.

From this point of view, is the security of the camp temporary or permanent?

The sudden arrival of the ghost grave is like an ancient ferocious beast suddenly opening its fangs, trying to choose someone to devour.

After the collective auditory hallucination incident just now, the enthusiasm of the desperadoes is extremely low, and it is simply impossible to go out on a large scale to test the dangerous situation nearby.

For a moment, the entire camp seemed to be wrapped in an invisible cage, completely suppressed by the ghost grave phenomenon.

This dull atmosphere lasted until noon. Surrounded by unknown dangers, the desperadoes were not very enthusiastic about eating. They ate sparsely and in twos and threes, as if they were afraid that the unknown risks would attack the gathered crowd first.

If there is any good news at the moment, it is that the team's food reserves are still very abundant, and there will be no problem even if they continue to stay here for a month.

Thoughts were swirling in his mind. As he ate the canned beef in his hand, Bai Ning's taste system suddenly felt the soft and sweet feeling of eating cake.

Bai Ning almost threw away the can of beef in his hand while his heart was shocked.

Suppressing the surprise in his heart, Bai Ning took another mouthful of canned beef. It was still as smooth and smooth as a cream cake. Feeling incredible, Bai Ning took another mouthful of beef soup, which was as sweet as honey.

hallucinations?

Disorder of feedback from the five senses?

"What are you eating?"

Bai Ning asked, which made Jiang Yingxue stunned, feeling baffled by Bai Ning's question.

"what……"

Before she finished her sentence, Jiang Yingxue's brows knitted together and she looked at the tea in her hand with a look of disbelief on her face.

"Your taste system is also malfunctioning?"

This feeling of returning to the illusory maze, no, even weirder than the illusory maze, made Jiang Yingxue's face become extremely serious.

"It seems that as long as the mind is not distracted, there will be no problems with the five senses of the body. The fact that you can taste the original flavor of the tea just now is proof.

It can be seen from this that the collective hallucination just now is not an accident, but a common feature of this area.

In this area, there may be some kind of energy field that can affect the feedback of our nervous system. It is actively confusing the feedback of our nervous system, making the feedback of our five senses tend to be chaotic, until more serious hallucinations occur. "

There was no trace of relaxation in Bai Ning's expression. This was different from the original illusion maze, which was based on the mental interference of the real world.

“Feedback from the five senses is the fundamental basis for the brain to judge reality and illusion. Without the feedback from the five senses, one day one’s head will fall off and one will feel silly and happy for no reason.

If you live in this kind of inconsistent environment for a long time, you will inevitably develop some mental problems.

The evil power of the ghost grave may be slowly unfolding in front of us. "

Jiang Yingxue responded lightly. Judging from the way she drank tea casually, you couldn't tell what her taste was at this time.

"Let's take one step at a time.

Tonight may be the moment when the core area of ​​the explosion shows its ferocity. "

If it is just a disorder of the five senses, Bai Ning is not afraid. He is afraid that the disorder of the five senses will stimulate the herd of animals to behave abnormally, prompting them to do something unexpected.

Subjective tranquility, or concentration of consciousness, will counteract this inexplicable mental pollution, and then all the previous contradictory phenomena can be explained clearly one by one.

At first, the desperadoes were unusually restless because of the accumulation of their restless moods while wandering and chatting. Later, under Bai Ning's order, they concentrated near the bird's nest. Their trust in Bai Ning made them feel at ease, and the team gained A brief moment of peace.

The gathering brought about a short period of tranquility, and the collective scope of tranquility unified everyone's mood, making everyone curious about the abnormalities around them, and a collective hallucination of "whispers" was born.

Although we roughly understand the working principle of mental pollution, this kind of continuous erosion is extremely difficult to resist, and the current predicament is still difficult.

For Jiang Yingxue, what she cared more about was tonight's beast attack.

Their supply transportation is becoming more and more difficult now, and they are using less ammunition and explosives. Jiang Yingxue really hates the meaningless offensive of the beast herd.

"maybe."

The conversation between the two stopped abruptly. Jiang Yingxue naturally did not think that Bai Ning would wait until nightfall. Time is not infinite for Bai Ning after all. Every minute now is very important to him.

However, Bai Ning had no plans to go out. He was sitting quietly and thinking calmly and peacefully, which was far beyond Jiang Yingxue's expectation.

At special moments, Bai Ning's actions are always full of unpredictable variables. This seems to be the norm.

Time passed in a hurry, and the afterglow of the setting sun soon fell on this lifeless camp. The disorder of the five senses had already begun to torture the desperadoes. The intake of alcohol would not only not relieve the desperadoes' nervousness, but would instead remind them of their memories. Some very painful memories.

Crying but not being able to cry, shouting but not wanting to shout, all the annoyances were bottled up in their hearts, which made the desperadoes sit gloomily one by one, as if they were collectively hypnotized.

Ivan also came over to report his situation, but was sent away very quickly. As the night deepened, the entire camp seemed more and more dead.

It seems that the most terrifying emotional outbursts are constantly brewing, and the biggest crisis does not come from the outside, but from the inside.

The campfire was soaring into the sky, and Ivan wisely directed the second and third sons to deliver the wood. He knew that in this strange situation, it was safest to follow Bai Ning.

Although this kind of sharpening one's weapons before the battle may not necessarily play a decisive role, it is at least useful.

Bai Ning was still sitting next to the bonfire at this time, but there was a recliner underneath him. Judging from his state of resting with his eyes closed, people who didn't know better would probably think that he had fallen asleep.

Ivan was even more curious. The camp was in such a weird area with five senses disordered, yet Bai Ning had been able to remain silent until now. It was really hard to guess what plan was brewing in Bai Ning's mind.

No matter what Bai Ning thinks in his heart, Ivan will definitely do what needs to be done. This is the consciousness that a PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds player should have.

The moon was as cold as water, and the night wind at high latitudes was even more chilling. Many desperadoes in the camp returned to their tents to sleep, but there was no sound of snoring. It was like a silent sleepless night.

We had just arrived at the core area of ​​the explosion, and the entire camp showed something unusual that was heart-stopping. This was a sign of an imminent catastrophe.

The only uncertainty is that no one knows when this huge disaster will strike.

Jiang Yingxue also felt very irritable at this time. I don't know if it was because of fatigue, but the thoughts in her mind began to gradually become blurry.

The overall feeling seems to be very tired, but there is no tiredness at all. I want to take the initiative to fall asleep, but there is an inexplicable excitement in my heart, and I want to support my body and continue to do something.

The feeling of fatigue, the turmoil of wanting to complete certain preset tasks, this double psychological and physical contradiction finally aroused the irritability in Jiang Yingxue's heart.

"Don't you have some unique insights into this current situation?"

Following the irritable mood swings in his heart, Jiang Yingxue said this sentence without thinking, as if it was a frank and heartfelt gaffe.

The subpar opening seemed abrupt and noisy in the silent night.

Ivan, who was eating a late-night snack in boredom, also came over and was very interested in this sudden conversation.

At this time, Bai Ning also seemed to be slow to react. After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes and slowly glanced at Jiang Yingxue beside him.

His eyes were cold and emotionless, as if he was looking at something completely unfamiliar.

Bai Ning's abnormal reaction shocked Jiang Yingxue, and then she felt a little abrupt. They were all fine, so how could Bai Ning be okay?
