Urban Legends: The Legacy of Ancient Civilizations

"Aren't you prepared to explain such a move?"

Jiang Yingxue pointed to the doorway beside her and asked with a smile, her tone slightly teasing, but more than teasing.

“There are many mechanisms to get through, both with companions and with enemies.

The mechanism of this ancient ruins is incomplete. As long as the loophole is valid, it will be the same no matter where you exploit it. "

Bai Ning's response was simple, as simple as ever.

Jiang Yingxue just felt accustomed to this and could interpret certain connotations from it.

You can interpret the current success at the factual level as the result of Bai Ning's strategizing, or you can interpret it as the result of Bai Ning's mistakes.

Detailed interpretation of the results will only make people immersed in the wrong experience of success, leading to arrogance that should not occur.

In a completely unfamiliar world, there should be no arrogance. This wrong mentality usually leads to the catastrophic result of the annihilation of the entire army.

"A channel has appeared, and it was opened with the help of a mechanical defect. Where do you think this channel will lead us?

If the management core labels us as dangerous elements and sets the final attribute of erasure, our next journey will be self-destruction. "

Pretending to be an insider, even if there is danger at the end of the passage, it is also the overall risk to the ancient ruins.

If you pretend to be a dangerous person, even if there is no danger at the end of the passage, the management core will add additional dangers.

This is the natural danger within the logic of Bai Ning's words. Jiang Yingxue pointed it out at this time, not necessarily out of fear, but more out of some final decisions in her firm heart.

This doorway can be opened, but it will also be closed again. Even if communication information is left, it is only a probability event that Ivan can open it again.

After all, the chain reaction of the tentacle destruction incident just now is considered some emergency response mechanism of the ancient ruins, and it is likely that it will be completely abandoned by the management core after Ivan's arrival.

When Ivan wants to open the door again by destroying something, the difficulty will rise to a new level.

Moreover, if two groups of people are labeled as dangerous elements at the same time, the best way is to completely separate them to reduce their overall harmful attributes.

It is no exaggeration to say that once they enter this passage now, their backup may be cut off.

“Adventure has always been about escaping.

We don’t know the overall mechanism of that tunnel. Who knows where Ivan’s final destination will be?

Whether he can finally reach here is a huge doubt. "

Bai Ning could understand what Jiang Yingxue meant, but his attitude would not change much after all.

In response, Jiang Yingxue just sighed softly, helped Aaron, who was still unconscious on the ground, and walked directly towards the depths of the doorway.

In this cavity that returned to darkness, only a blinking signal light was left to indicate that someone had been there, and beneath it was a note recording previous successful experiences.

The doorway returned to the mirror surface, and the abnormality in the cavity finally returned to death.

When people come, they will change the traces of a place. No matter how heavy the traces are, it is just a little whirling of the breeze.

It won't be long before everything becomes unfamiliar.

What is unfamiliar is the darkness, and what is unfamiliar is also the courage to challenge this place.

……

The corridor is long, and the light still reaches no end, just like the vertical darkness reappeared before.

Is the underground cavity really an isolated research facility?

Bai Ning, who had long expected this, moved forward in a calm manner, while Jiang Yingxue on the side also remained silent.

The footsteps of the two people were clear and crisp in the tunnel, as if they were being projected towards infinity.

The long journey will eventually become boring, and Jiang Yingxue finally lost her temper in this silent atmosphere.

"Take a rest.

If we go on like this forever, will we starve to death here? "

Carrying Aaron and dozens of kilograms of equipment, Jiang Yingxue was already out of breath when she spoke.

“It’s something that’s expected, but it doesn’t make people feel desperate.

The longer this corridor is, the more it proves the magnificence of this ancient ruins.

We should even hope that this tunnel is long enough, so that there will be fewer forks here and the greater the probability that Ivan will catch up. "

Bai Ning's reply seemed like an encouragement and a benign analysis of the current predicament, but Jiang Yingxue felt that its core meaning would never be like this.

It is definitely not Bai Ning's character to be afraid of the harsh environment.

Jiang Yingxue briefly glanced at Bai Ning beside him, looking at the way he lowered his head in thought, Jiang Yingxue found it a little interesting.

"Since you are so optimistic, then you can guess what will be at the end of this corridor.

According to the characteristics of management core emergency avoidance, our future should be gloomy.

It might even be a ruin with no way out. "

It's like a deliberate pessimism, but also like a kind of ridicule with a strong subjective intention, the purpose is to stimulate Bai Ning.

An inexplicable mood swing that was inconsistent with Jiang Yingxue's nature.

It gives people a weird and weird dramatic effect.

Somewhat inexplicable and unbelievable.

"After walking for so long, haven't you noticed anything unusual?"

It was like a sudden blow to the head, sending chills down Jiang Yingxue's spine.

Are the comfortable environment and mood also abnormal?

However, after experiencing the illusion maze and mental pollution, Jiang Yingxue could not completely deny the possibility.

"Isn't it a bit too arrogant?

Isn’t it normal that a comfortable environment produces a comfortable state of mind? "

Jiang Yingxue's subconscious retort made her even more shocked.

Why does my brain seem to be out of control?

“Mental torture is not limited to negative emotions forever.

The so-called great joy and great sadness, contrast is always a powerful tool to highlight extreme emotions.

Furthermore, the ways of consuming one’s mind will not always be limited to pain.

Pleasure and pain both fatigue the nervous system. "

Bai Ning's response was like an unchanging ancient well, and his calmness made Jiang Yingxue feel like a joke.

He is desperate when he is crazy, and even more frightening when he is calm. The man in front of him is really difficult to evaluate.

If extended according to Bai Ning's logic, they are currently within the control core's trap range.

This is a frustrating corollary, and a disadvantage that must be faced.

“If good times are a bad situation, does that mean we are about to encounter other emotional tunnels?

Even the previous mental pollution will come again, coupled with the double deterrence of the core of the illusion, does it really make sense to continue? "

Since Bai Ning attributed everything around him to danger, Jiang Yingxue simply increased the pressure to the maximum.

Make the crisis clear, even if it is as overwhelming as Mount Tai, it is only a crisis that can be quantified.

There is actually no difference between death and tragic death at this moment.

Faced with Jiang Yingxue's almost naked remarks, Bai Ning also felt a little surprised.

This kind of attitude can no longer be called agreement, but more like a wild self-extension, with a hint of wildness in the elegance, and full of Jiang Yingxue's unique charm.

"It's good that you are prepared."

The brief response is like a recognition and a different kind of affirmation.

Silent, the brief exchange was like a moment of chat, without any meaning or importance.

There was silence in the dark tunnel, as if I could walk forever.

When darkness makes time meaningless, distance seems so pale.

Not knowing how far they had gone, the three-man team stopped again.

Rest is one thing, but more importantly it's because of the doubts in Bai Ning's heart.

Looking at Bai Ning who lowered his head and remained silent, Jiang Yingxue wanted to ask something, but felt unable to speak.

The previous conversation seemed to have exhausted all the content. At this time, they were like partners on the road to survival in the doomsday. Difficulties made language boring, and silence was the norm.

There is more of a tacit understanding between each other that can be understood with just one look, but in the current state, it seems a bit useless.

No matter how much we know each other, it is meaningless. The unknown of the overall environment is the fundamental weakness.

What dangerous secrets does this seemingly ordinary tunnel contain?

Because of this frustration of having no way to start, Jiang Yingxue suddenly felt an unknown anger in her heart.

Even if it was just a fleeting moment, a strong sense of vigilance arose in Jiang Yingxue's heart.

This uncharacteristic mood swing is sudden and is enough to prove Bai Ning's previous predictions.

This tunnel is indeed strange and inexplicable, and the management core hiding in the dark gives people a sense of mystery.

Even reflecting on his previous experience, Bai Ning first stated how to act as an insider to deceive the channel, and then used a saboteur method to successfully force the management core to open the channel.

If the management core has detected Bai Ning's intentions and tried to set a trap based on Bai Ning's intentions.

So regardless of whether Bai Ning acted like an insider or not, or whether he started to act as a saboteur in a different way, as long as Bai Ning still wanted to enter the ancient ruins, the management core would open the door for him.

Therefore, as long as they step into this passage, what awaits them will definitely be an absolute dilemma.

This was consistent with Bai Ning's previous overall thoughts, and Jiang Yingxue just believed that Bai Ning had deliberately concealed this part.

No one knows how many thoughts Bai Ning is holding in his heart, and no one can ask Bai Ning to tell everything in his heart.

“If the passage is destined to be a dead end, can’t we find another way?

You know, we are now considered to be in ancient ruins. Even if it is only the outer area, it is definitely not a dead end. "

The communication between the two has tended to be a stream of consciousness chat. It feels like Jiang Yingxue is trying to catch up with Bai Ning, but it also feels like it is just a simple exchange of ideas.
