Chapter 99 is like an infinite border
As if it were a natural tacit understanding, the two of them continued to carry Aaron along the wall after a short break, but the future journey seemed more hopeless than the empty darkness.
Even if they walked empty, the wall stretched to infinity as if there was no end.
It was so endless that Bai Ning felt a little like they were going around a huge circle.
If this is the case, the garbage left over from their previous meals should be regarded as a marker, and it is impossible for them not to touch it in the process of turning around.
Furthermore, according to previous reasoning, there must have been some very important facilities near the exit of the tunnel, and they did not encounter anything.
The only thing that feels like this wall is infinity death.
"Does it really make sense to go on like this?"
A deep feeling of fatigue struck again, and Jiang Yingxue, who had temporarily stopped to rest, asked this slightly depressed question, as if emotional interference made her sense of distress difficult to contain.
According to the previous reasoning, emotional interference can only be confined to a small area, such a huge area, it is obvious that the management core cannot completely cover it.
The only explanation was that a machine that Bai Ning couldn't notice was hovering around them, enveloping them with a small area of emotional distraction.
Based on the trajectory analysis from the past to the present, the site of the tracking machine is most likely located on the ceiling here.
With a ceiling several hundred meters high, shooting blindly with a gun is just a stroke of luck, and it will not have the slightest effect, and it will startle the snake.
"The definition of meaning always depends on the outcome and the state of mind.
The more the core secret of this ancient relic is hidden, the more exciting the process of obtaining it becomes.
Remember the Daredevil members we met on a plane earlier?
The reason why he went to great lengths to reach us is obviously because what we deciphered involved soul-related content.
Consciousness, soul, and dreams, the connection between the three is confusing, and it is these forbidden areas that the Daredevil Society wants to know most about the madmen who want to find eternal life in their dreams.
In this ancient ruin, a definitive answer will be given to the connection between consciousness and soul, and this answer may lead the members of the Daredevil Order to understand the secret of eternal life.
Now, do you still think that our current boring behavior has no meaning? ”
It is like an enlightenment of Jiang Yingxue's current emotions, and it is like a kind of idle and boring conversation, this interpretation of the meaning of exploration does not involve the core purpose of Bai Ning's visit.
Think about the appearance of Bai Ning when he came to the manor with a crystal nucleus, he talked eloquently and swore that what he was talking about was only the probability of finding this ancient ruin in the Tunguska region.
As for Bai Ning's purpose for coming here, he didn't talk about it at all.
Jiang Yingxue can only understand it as the persistence and madness of exploration, or the fanaticism for ancient civilizations, and the coveting of wealth and civilization value in them.
Wealth and fame, which are the goals pursued by ordinary adventurers, seem to be a little inappropriate to put on Bai Ning's body.
Perhaps, what Bai Ning is pursuing is the pleasure of extreme exploration.
For the conquest of the ultimate sense of crisis, this may be what Bai Ning, a crazy person, really cares about.
Only when dancing on the tip of a knife can people like Bai Ning find the meaning of life.
Oh, yes.
What is the meaning of life?
For the existence of power and wealth, which has been endlessly satisfied, only the topic of immortality can slightly attract an existence like Jiang Yingxue.
In Bai Ning's discussion, Jiang Yingxue suddenly began to realize the absolute desire in her heart.
Or, in the extreme torment of emotional interference, Jiang Yingxue experienced despicable emotional fluctuations that she could not usually experience.
The seven emotions and six desires in the world may be able to touch Jiang Yingxue, but they can't really make Jiang Yingxue interested.
Extreme thinking about the meaning of existence may naturally give rise to a desire for immortality.
Investing in all sorts of strange places isn't just about indulging in some bizarre rumors you've read, and trying to find a way to get more wealth in some of the secrets of the past.
Immortality is a perennial topic, almost a subconscious desire of human beings.
All the knowledge about immortality in the past was left in various ancient ruins, which may be the fundamental reason why Jiang Yingxue was interested in these expeditions.
After all, he is just a layman who pursues the bliss of the world, compared to Bai Ning, a madman who pursues the ultimate spiritual enjoyment, the two are indeed like clouds and mud.
"Who knows.
Some people love money, some enjoy honor, some people covet power, and some people yearn to possess these things forever.
The laymen in the world are probably nothing more than that. ”
Jiang Yingxue stared at Bai Ning and responded with a few words in a light tone.
Thinking clearly about the truest desires in their hearts, some people will face the world more calmly, and they will see the relationship between themselves and the world more clearly.
After resting for a long time, the two continued to move forward, no matter how huge this place was, it could not be infinitely huge, and they would eventually follow the wall to reach the core area of the ancient ruins.
I don't know how long they walked, but just as the two of them wanted to rest for a while again, something different suddenly appeared in the darkness ahead.
Outlined in the light, the angular outlines are clearly formed, this is a huge complex of buildings, the architectural style is difficult to describe, and a huge temple-like building in the center is striking, giving the impression of a high mountain.
When he got closer, Bai Ning realized that these buildings were all stone buildings, and the huge temple building was somewhat similar to the ancient Greek temple, but it was completely different in some details.
A row of massive stone pillars supported the temple's massive dome, with various gods carved on top, most of them mutilated, and the few that remained were unclear who they were.
The stone pillars of the temple are intact, but the gate is black, and it seems that the main structure inside has completely collapsed, leaving only the surrounding walls still intact.
Standing in front of this huge building complex, the huge proportion gap made Bai Ning suddenly feel a sense of insignificance, and even made people feel that the huge open space before was actually just a square here.
In addition to the huge temple in the center, the other outbuildings also have their own characteristics, which seem to be some houses and shops, but there is no trace of human existence.
Among the huge complex, there are also some extremely tall statues, most of which hold the Trident of the Sea God, but the faces and overall shapes of the statues are different.
There are even some statues depicting some ferocious beasts, or some tentacled monsters, which is terrifying.
Walking through the streets of this complex is like being in the middle of a magnificent underground mausoleum, and the cold feeling is just a norm, and the oppressive atmosphere makes it seem strange everywhere.
"It's not like a living quarter, there are some decorations in the house, but there are no dining and sleeping utensils, it feels like some toy house.
Is the purpose of building a stone complex here at such a great cost just to serve as an underground mausoleum for some great people? ”
Jiang Yingxue walked around, watching Bai Ning look up at a statue and become fascinated, she expressed the doubts in her heart.
If that huge temple was actually a mausoleum, it was normal for it to be destroyed by later generations.
"Legend has it that the capital of Atlantis was a huge city resembling concentric circles, each of which was guarded by a prince, and the central part of the city was the temple dedicated to the wife of Poseidon, the god of the sea.
If this is a replica of the city's core, then this huge temple is the place where the god of the sea is enshrined.
But for what reason was a temple of the highest faith destroyed?
If there had been an extreme religious confrontation here, it would not have been possible to worship Poseidon, the god of the sea, in this temple.
It may even be some other god or belief that has taken its place. ”
Bai Ning glanced at the huge temple that seemed to be right in front of him again, and didn't have much interest in the ruined temple.
What will some mad scientists, who have isolated themselves in order to study the soul, be enshrined in the temple by these beings called blasphemers?
If the study of the soul is blasphemy, then the scientist who studies the soul is a god in some way.
There was nothing in the outbuildings near the temple, and the only thing worth exploring was the huge temple.
The two of them carried Ah Long and slowly climbed up the steps, the more than 1,000 steps were exhausting, and as soon as they came to the top of the platform, Jiang Yingxue sat down to rest.
Looking at the low building in front of her that had been submerged in darkness again, Jiang Yingxue also had a general understanding of the grandeur of this temple.
Glancing at the huge stone pillar beside him, he felt that ten people might not be able to enclose it, in such a magnificent temple, what kind of huge sculpture should be enshrined?
Seeing Bai Ning walking towards the door of the temple by himself, Jiang Yingxue felt that there was nothing wrong with putting Ah Long here, and walked in directly behind him.
Dozens of meters high huge doorway holes lay in front of the two of them, and the extreme sense of insignificance was as if they had come to the kingdom of giants.
The inside of the door was pitch black, and it was completely impossible to see the scene inside, and the strong flashlight kept searching inside, but no ruins and broken walls were found inside.
This feeling is very strange, the overall impression of the previous view from a distance is a ruined temple, the top has collapsed, and only the surrounding walls are still intact.
But when I actually entered it, I found that the temple was empty, and even the dome at the top was no longer visible, just like the top of the cave that was hundreds of meters high.
