Chapter 95: The Dilemma of Bluffing

The Ancient Ruins themselves are a ruined remnant of an abandoned ruin, and even if some of its mechanics survive to this day, they will inevitably be incomplete.

In addition, when the energy core of the ancient ruin suddenly explodes due to some unexpected event, the ancient ruin loses its main energy source, and its mechanism will only shrink further.

Even the other related equipment in the previous underground cavity has been transferred to the backup energy area of the ancient ruins by the management core to consolidate the increasingly scarce energy supply.

Large-scale creation of psychic distractions and hallucinatory labyrinths, which should be extremely burdensome for managing the energy burden of the core.

In order to achieve the rational use of energy, the best way is to create a local energy field that follows Bai Ning and the three of them.

However, the internal installations of the ancient ruins were not in their heyday, especially since Bai Ning's arrival was sudden, and it was absolutely impossible for the management core to overhaul the entire ancient ruins in order to welcome Bai Ning's arrival.

Even if an ancient relic wanted to be overhauled, the resources it stored would not allow it to be overhauled.

Therefore, it is impossible to do a continuous small-scale energy field.

If you want to rationalize it, it can only be that there is something that has been following the three of Bai Ning, and the corresponding coping mechanism is generated according to the current environment.

Is there anything sent by the management core to be monitored?

"We can't find a better way to deal with the Illusion Labyrinth for the time being, so let's continue to think of ways to deal with the journey below."

Jiang Yingxue waited for a long time, but what she got was this kind of content, which really made her a little unclear about what kind of variables Bai Ning had in the follow-up thinking process.

Staying in a daze will not find any way out, since the variable is in the future, Jiang Yingxue still believes that Bai Ning can find a way to break through in the near future.

The two of them picked up Ah Long again and walked slowly towards the seemingly endless front, and in just a few steps, Bai Ning suddenly picked up the diagonal gun and pointed it at the front.

This abrupt action made Jiang Yingxue startled, and Ah Long, who was being supported by her, seemed to be suddenly heavy, and a strange feeling suddenly made her mind dizzy, and her eyes were even more foggy, as if her consciousness suddenly fell into a whirlwind.

Obviously, Bai Ning's move just now should have triggered some mechanism, but can robbing in the illusion maze really have any effect on the management core?

This feeling of spinning the world came and went quickly, and Jiang Yingxue, whose eyes were gradually focused, felt that the weight on her shoulders seemed to be more real.

Have they really been completely out of the labyrinth of illusions?

Puzzled in her heart, Jiang Yingxue's movements in her hands were not slow at all, she picked up a strong flashlight and glanced around the place where Bai Ning had shot before, and found that a strange-shaped machine was falling in front of them.

A faint arc of light leaked through the bullet holes of the machine, and it seemed that there was a faint smell of burnt paste that was stimulating Jiang Yingxue's olfactory system, causing her to gradually regain consciousness.

Could it be that this machine is the one who has trapped them in a labyrinth of illusions?

With the strength of the illusion core in the outpost research base, this machine looks shabby, and its functionality seems to be very weak.

"How do you know it's dominating our hallucinations?

Didn't you say that we are in a labyrinth of illusions, where our consciousness is detached from our bodies?

Why can you control your body and kill a machine in the real world? ”

The strange scene in front of her shocked Jiang Yingxue, and a series of questions highlighted her surprise at this time, and she was even more incomprehensible about Bai Ning's previous contradictory behavior.

"It's just a matter of luck.

I'm betting that the coping mechanism at the core of the management is incomplete, and the machinery that dominates the illusion maze is a simplified version, unable to truly strip the connection between consciousness and body.

Therefore, in the exchange between suspension and action, taking advantage of the lack of control over us in the internal operation of the machine, we try to regain control of the body with great perseverance.

As it turned out, luck was indeed on our side. ”

It's luck again, Jiang Yingxue is a little numb to Bai Ning's excuse, and she doesn't know if Bai Ning is real luck or fake luck.

"Indeed.

If this machine is behind us, it will be in vain to think that what you have just done. ”

Luck is luck, Jiang Yingxue continued with Bai Ning's words, and the main thing was trust.

"It's not luck at all, it's the machine's job to lay a labyrinth of illusions here, guiding our bodies to the way back and forth before turning.

So it must be waiting for us in front of us and leading the way in front of us like a guide dog. ”

Bai Ning responded lightly, and seemed to get rid of the luck theory in an instant, and returned to a powerful style.

This made Jiang Yingxue a little speechless, and she could only understand it as a balance of luck and strength.

This problem is over, Jiang Yingxue took a strong flashlight and looked around, this place is indeed a large transportation hub transfer station as expected, and there are tunnels leading to unknown directions on all sides, making it impossible to make a choice for a while.

"It's another time of luck, there are at least three roads ahead, and you think we should go in that direction?"

Jiang Yingxue swept the three tunnels in front of her with a strong flashlight, and the tunnel doors hidden in the darkness in the distance were like some beasts crawling on the ground, revealing absolute danger in the hazy and vague.

"Feel free, it's the same no matter which way you go.

The Core wants to turn back through the Labyrinth, which means that the first three tunnels lead to very important places.

At the very least, it shows that our arbitrary choices are a huge threat to ancient ruins.

The danger of the other party is our opportunity, as long as our luck is not too bad, the probability of choosing the right truth is still very high.

If we want to analyze it in detail, since we don't know the detailed structure of the ancient ruins, each road ahead has the same meaning for us.

Since they are all the same, then the principle of proximity must be preferred, and the probability of us choosing the adjacent channel is the largest.

Only if this high probability is not in the interests of the management core, it will use the illusion maze to turn us.

So, take the nearest tunnel. ”

Bai Ning's response does sound a little reasonable, and Jiang Yingxue doesn't want to delve into anything about it, luck is such a thing, you can't turn back if you choose.

The trio continued towards the nearest tunnel, faintly sensing something moving in the darkness nearby.

Bai Ning twisted the strong flashlight and shone it violently, and in a trance, he seemed to see a faint reflection flash away from a distance.

This is the result of something reflecting the light of a flashlight, and it seems to prove that the monitoring machine dispatched by the management core is not the only one from before.

As expected, in such a huge open field, Bai Ning did not have the leisure to accompany a machine hiding in the shadows to hide and seek.

At present, the most effective way is to ambush it in a tunnel environment.

Facing a glance with Jiang Yingxue, who turned her head to look at her, the two continued to move forward as if they didn't notice anything, the tunnel that Bai Ning chose was even more old, the traces of use on the ground were very heavy, and the grooves in some places seemed to be about to be scrapped.

Unusual tunnels, sneaky surveillance machines in the shadows, which seem to foreshadow their choice is unusual.

It is even possible that their choice at this time is indeed the most threatening to the ancient ruins.

Think about it, a tunnel that is heavily used, or is built with a higher priority, will inevitably correspond to an important facility.

The two continued to walk forward slowly, leaving a mark, and they immediately completely submerged in the tunnel, and after a few dozen meters, Bai Ning motioned for Jiang Yingxue to continue walking, and he hid here waiting for the arrival of the surveillance machine behind.

There was no shelter in the tunnel, and Bai Ning could only crawl in the dents on the ground, hiding his body as much as possible.

Jiang Yingxue's footsteps gradually faded away, Bai Ning, who was hiding in place, closed his eyes tightly, and his ears were close to the ground to listen carefully to the footsteps behind him.

However, apart from Jiang Yingxue's footsteps, there seemed to be no other contact vibrations sounding in this tunnel.

Could it be that the ambush has been warned by the machines behind?

Or is the machine simulating Jiang Yingxue's footsteps in order to hide the noise of its movements in this way?

With a lot of thoughts in his heart, Bai Ning covered his eyes with his hands, beware of his eyes reflecting light, and then carefully looked at the darkness behind him through the leaking fingers.

It's a pity that there is no light source approaching in the darkness, and the darkness merges everything, causing Bai Ning's vision to collapse into a black plane.

I can't see anything, I can't hear anything, my sense of smell can't detect any peculiar smell, and the perception system is completely closed, which makes Bai Ning's ambush at this time seem to have become a joke.

Now, as long as there is a little light, the previous wait will be in vain, can we only let the machine that is good at lurking in the shadows not far away?

Jiang Yingxue's footsteps in the tunnel were slowly disappearing, which made Bai Ning's anxiety even heavier.

Although the tunnel is a road, no one knows what Jiang Yingxue will encounter in front of her, and this meaningless ambush at this time is undoubtedly a stupid move to weaken herself.

Anyway, the ambush was also gambling on an opportunity, Bai Ning's heart was crossed, and he continued to wait in place for a few minutes, until Jiang Yingxue's footsteps could no longer be heard in the tunnel.

The tunnel seemed to fall into an endless state of dead silence, without the slightest sound, and gradually, Bai Ning seemed to be able to hear his own heartbeat.

It's so quiet, so quiet that time seems to stop passing at this moment.

It's unusually quiet, as if something is deliberately masking the sound of the place.
