Chapter 61: Illusion Core

"Let's not talk about where this illusion core will be hidden, let's take the simplest possibility to assume, if the illusion core you said is on the third basement floor, how do you want to take it out?"

Both sides were silent for a moment, and as soon as Gogol opened his mouth, the irony could not have been more obvious - the proposal to destroy the core of the illusion was a completely unrealistic fantasy to say or do.

From this response of Gogo, a very simple conclusion can be drawn:

The three underground floors are not easily accessible, either through the inherent passages of the Outpost Research Base or through the active shortcuts.

This means that the radiant range of the illusion core should be a sphere, and no matter which direction you try to break into, you will eventually reach the boundary of the illusion maze.

"As soon as doubts begin to arise in people's minds, they will immediately be pulled into the maze of illusions.

Based on such characteristics, do you think that if you find a patient with intellectual disability to enter it, will you be able to pass through the first and second basement floors smoothly? ”

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

This change in expression is too obvious, and if Gogol had not entered the Labyrinth of Illusions, he would not have shown such an exaggerated facial expression in order to keep this secret.

Only Gogol has ever entered an environmental labyrinth and has neglected this level of solution because of his blind spots, or because he has not paid attention to the nature of the initial illusion.

This extreme mood swing shows that Gogol's heart is too fluctuating at this time, and there are so many things that he needs to care about, so that he has no heart to do some superficial work to cover up.

Such a gaffe is also the first time that Gogol has shown it.

This is also the inevitable manifestation of the obsession after seeing hope, the more he longs for light in the darkness, the attraction of the stars to him will multiply infinitely with the extension of time.

"What, surprised?

You don't even have to do this kind of basic experience, do you? ”

Bai Ning deliberately stimulated, which made Gogol's deformed face return to coldness again, without the slightest emotional fluctuations of shame and anger, as if it was not him Gogol who had just lost his temper.

"Your overall thinking is right, but how can you be sure that people with intellectual disabilities don't get confused?

In the strange environment, there will be no doubts, except for robots, no animal can be as calm as water. ”

Gogol quickly partially rejected Bai Ning's proposal, which was not a bluff and unjustified rebuttal, and the objective reasons in it were very sufficient.

It's hard to believe that Gogol was still in a violent mood swing just now, and he could return to absolute reason in an instant.

This appearance further proves that Gogol must have experienced a vision, and that his only surviving attribute, the presentation of his distorted personality, is definitely not a coincidence.

"Can you get a follow-up helicopter to transport a tracked robot?"

Based on Gogol's addition, Bai Ning turned around and asked Jiang Yingxue, seemingly agreeing with Gogol's idea.

"Not to mention the problem of signal relay, even if the machine reaches the third basement level, it does not represent any victory.

The 3D diagram of the base given by Gogol has clearly marked all the roads, and this is already the limit of the machine's action.

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

At first, when Bai Ning mentioned the solution to the illusion, Jiang Yingxue was also a little excited, but as the topic deepened, he might not be interested in the follow-up.

There are many land exploration robots now, but the functionality cannot completely replace the manual, and the functionality of the machine pliers cannot catch up with the human hand at all, nor can it replace the human to do some extremely precise work.

Robots can't do it, humans can't get through the illusion maze, and everything seems to be back to square one again, which silences everyone in the field again.

"Gogol, you are always so ambiguous and unpredictable, it can't be because you don't know how to get through the illusion labyrinth, right?

As for the existence you said could unlock the ultimate secret of Tunguska, it wouldn't be just your personal wishful thinking, right? ”

After being silent for a long time, Bai Ning suddenly changed his words and expressed his previous doubts about Gogol's ability.

This is almost a kind of face-tearing move, and it seems that the current setback has caused Bai Ning to lose his sense of proportion, so that he has begun to produce uncontrollable civil strife.

With such a superficial move, Jiang Yingxue would not think so, but she really couldn't understand what Bai Ning's abrupt move was for.

Is it trying to force Gogol to comply?

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

Gogol will only do what he wants to do and do what he thinks he should do according to his intended purpose, and will not change himself at all because of external pressure.

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

"If you want to say that this is a desperate situation, then it is not enough.

Judging from the overall situation today, your performance is indeed very good, and you are able to come to such wonderful conclusions with the help of these inferences when you are only briefly exposed to the illusion, and with the help of these inferences, you are able to try to debunk the illusion.

However, if the illusion is so easy to crack, it will not be your turn to try.

The road in front of you, a novice, is indeed gone.

If you want to give up, now is the time to leave.

If you want to persevere, you can only continue to experience the wonder of the illusion yourself, and try to find a more reliable way to solve it. ”

In the face of Bai Ning's questioning, Gogol's face fluctuated without displeasure, and his tone was calm, as if he had already predicted Bai Ning's move.

"How many illusions have you been through?"

Facing Gogol, who no longer concealed some key details, Bai Ning's topic became more acute.

As Gorey said before, those who are mired in illusions, whenever they hear about this problem, either go crazy or start killing people indiscriminately.

If the environment here has already reminded Gogol of something, and his heart has endless doubts again, so that he can enter the illusion again, maybe there will be an extremely cruel and brutal Gogol here.

"It's a secret, you'd better ask less."

Gogol laughed very far-fetched at this time, as if he was forcibly suppressing some bad mood swings.

Obviously, this is an outward manifestation of Gogol's sudden demonism, forcibly suppressing his doubts about the real world, which in itself is an extremely painful thing.

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

But how do you know if all the speculative efforts you have made are futile efforts that have led 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 immersed in the illusion.

"I do wonder why you have come back here with such perseverance after so many failures here?

Is the ultimate secret you said before, something real?

Or, to put it another way, does this kind of stuff really make sense 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 the final collapse.

Ivan's obsession, if it is said that he wants to pursue the supernatural technology of soul manipulation, then his obsession can be executed.

But what is Gogol's obsession?

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

Gogol's grandfather was engaged in orthodox scientific research, how did he become obsessed with supernatural treasures?

Could it be that Gogol's grandfather and grandchildren really wanted to obtain something from the outpost research base, but due to the influence of the illusion labyrinth, when they arrived at Gogol, this thing was alienated into "a secret treasure that is enough to glimpse the secrets of the world".

Meaning is always the thing that you want to chase most in the fantasy, and the powerful obsession itself needs the ultimate meaning as the core support.

According to Bai Ning's understanding of illusions, illusions are a reproduction of deep memories of the past, making people finally collapse in the repeated illusions that are difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

Gogol was able to get out of such a fantasy through his own powerful obsession and self-identity, but what about when he returned to real life itself?

The stability, boredom, and repetition of the real world may already be an illusion itself in the eyes of a person who is extremely confused!

When this irrepressible doubt reappears in real life, when this abnormal mental fluctuation appears repeatedly, and the irrepressible desire to prove it again, 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 a common method used by Gogol to verify whether the illusion is not.

A very bizarre way of feedback, perhaps, Gogol has long been driven crazy in the extreme doubtful speculation, in the boring and repetitive life!

Bringing different people to explore the outpost research base, and repeatedly breaking away from the illusion maze in the outpost research base, this repeated behavior may be the whole meaning of Gogol's current life.

As for the so-called Great Secret Treasure, whoever masters it will have the qualification to spy on the secrets of the world, but it is just an exploration gimmick set up by Gogol.

Based on such logical lines, Gogol's reluctance to reveal too much key information in his past contacts is a behavior pattern that is well understood.

Gogol is adept at mixing key information into a multitude of ambiguities, which may be one of his usual methods of verifying illusion and reality.
