Urban Legends: The Legacy of Ancient Civilizations

Just after lunch, Gogol sneaked into the tent in the camp again. It was not clear what risk he wanted to avoid in this sneaky way.

It stands to reason that the relationship between the two can be smoothed over with a reason that acts as a guide. There is no need to make it so mysterious.

"There was so much noise last night, but the overall atmosphere in the camp today is still harmonious. You are the best-performing expedition team so far."

Gogol sat down calmly, his tone was extremely relaxed, and he showed no sign of being an outsider.

In Bai Ning's view, the significance of Gogol's move was not an attempt to bring the relationship closer between the two, but more like a preconceived and strong affirmation.

Based on Gogol's basic attitude in testing everyone last night, it can even be concluded that Gogol has treated Jiang Yingxue's team as his own private property.

A very strange attitude, or rather, a strange attitude coming from Gogol.

"Why are you always sneaking around? Is it because you have a bad relationship with the village?"

There is actually no point in speculating too much about Gogol's overall attitude from the beginning. It is better to take advantage of the moment when his foothold is not stable to find out more useful information.

"You must know that you are not the first team to explore here. Many of the bad guys who preceded you have been buried deep in the Bone Forest.

If I go in with a group of people every time, and I am the only one who escapes in the end, just because of the bunch of trash in the village who like to worship totems, do you think I will be thought of as a monster? "

Gogol's eating appearance was very casual, but the content of his answers was sharp and sharp, a bit like Jiang Yingxue, but lacking a bit of elegance and wealth.

This statement also verified some of Bai Ning's previous judgments, but it was still not credible.

The entire village has a certain degree of rejection and vigilance towards outsiders. This phenomenon cannot be explained by the fact that they killed the so-called forest god. After all, many villagers are making wild boar meat into dried reserve meat without any scruples. This shows that their faith is not very firm.

The strange customs of the entire village are related to the Tunguska explosion, and Gogol's strange behavior must also be related to other deeper secrets.

"In addition to coming over to eat and chat, you have to show your sincerity in cooperation."

For a smart person like Gogol, whether his attitude is to test or show kindness, it is all to further control the partner he cooperates with.

Concealing one's intentions and trying to gradually pry open Gogol's hard shell is an excellent counterattack strategy to win a basic cooperative attitude.

"Since your purpose is so clear, I'm not going to hide it.

Yes, there is indeed a former Soviet outpost research base here.

My grandpa worked there for a while and was eventually laid off simply because the job content didn't meet the military's expectations.

However, this outpost research base is not much better and has long been abandoned by the military.

I accompanied some explorers to see it before. There was nothing worth seeing. There are quite a lot of dangers. I wonder if you are interested in this. "

The more Bai Ning listened to Gogol's statement, the more frightened he became, because this content was almost generated one-to-one according to Bai Ning's previous hypothetical template.

Bai Ning was frightened when he heard this, and Jiang Yingxue's eyes were even more brilliant.

What Bai Ning said before was just some dispensable reasoning, but now it has become the naked truth after being confirmed by Gogol, an outsider.

Such a dramatic scene left Jiang Yingxue in a daze for a moment. Was this because Bai Ning was good at reasoning, or because Bai Ning had already known many secrets of the Soviet military in advance.

Jiang Yingxue felt like she had found a treasure. This was entirely because she was just a third party watching and could only judge the authenticity of things through other people's discussions.

It is said that people's hearts are separated from each other, and the only ones who are engaged in a fierce game of truth and lies here are Bai Ning and Gogol.

Many of Bai Ning's previous judgments were indeed based on reasoning, and what Gogol said now may not necessarily be iron-clad facts.

Gogol is very smart, he is good at guessing people's hearts, and the degree of difficulty in distinguishing the truth from falsehood in his words is not comparable to that of Ivan.

In particular, Gogol's expectations at this time were much more complex than Ivan's, and much more difficult to fathom.

Let’s do a little reverse reasoning:

Given the popularity of the Tunguska region, the probability that many expedition teams have come here is indeed very high.

Then through interactions with these expedition teams, it is easy to summarize a general exploration expectation-the former Soviet outpost research base.

It is false from here on out, and then the identity of Grandpa Gogol becomes even more nonsense.

In order to win Bai Ning's trust, Gogol's grandfather can be of any identity.

It is even more bold to speculate that so many expeditions may have spanned decades. Gogol may be a descendant of relevant researchers, or he may just be a descendant of many explorers.

Everything is just Gogol's unilateral statement. If you want to know whether it is true or false, you need further testing.

"That's great. We are very interested in some research conducted by the former Soviet Union in the Tunguska region. Can you reveal a little bit about your grandfather's research?

Maybe in the course of subsequent adventures, we can help your grandpa realize his dream. "

Bai Ning quickly suppressed the impetuous emotions in his heart and followed Gogol's topic at will.

Regardless of whether Gogol is truly a descendant of the researcher, the relevant research content he disclosed is beneficial and is valuable information that can interact with issues related to sleep deprivation experiments.

“There are many hypotheses about the Tunguska explosion, and my grandfather is a firm supporter of the meteorite theory.

Regarding the exploration of the meteorite theory, the former Soviet Union made great efforts to drain the suspected craters of water, but they still did not find any meteorite fragments in them.

Because of this, my grandfather was asked to leave the research team after continuing to study it for a period of time. "

Gogol responded very casually, as if it was true, but it was obvious that he was not telling the truth.

If Gogol's grandfather was just a staunch supporter of the meteorite theory, this small obsession would not have lasted for three generations.

Furthermore, research related to spiritual bodies such as sleep deprivation experiments has been on the right track. It is absolutely impossible for his grandfather to remain obsessed with this for decades.

What's more, with Gogol's intelligence, it is impossible for him to waste his precious time here because of some personal misunderstandings of his grandfather.

Are you still going around in circles, hiding some unknown motives?

Really interesting.

"The Ivan I talked to you about last night, three generations of their ancestors have also studied Tunguska-related topics. His grandfather discovered the secrets related to the spirit body in the Tunguska area, and obtained rich research results on this basis.

You should be more or less familiar with such well-known issues as sleep deprivation experiments. I wonder what unique views you have on these things? "

Bai Ning did not expose Gogol's lies directly, but used Ivan as a shield to see Gogol's reaction.

Unexpectedly, Gogol's psychological quality is extremely excellent. He did not show any uncomfortable micro-expression feedback. Instead, he laughed heartily because he learned more effective information, a very natural smile.

"When I heard you talk about Ivan's past last night, I thought it was just some temporary excuse to get closer, but I didn't expect it was actually true.

I can tell you very clearly that the research scope in the outpost research base is very messy, and the study of spiritual phenomena may be just a very side research project.

It's just that this project is very beneficial to the military, so it was taken seriously and an independent research laboratory was even developed. "

After a slight pause at first, Gogol launched into a long speech without any hint of any element of rehearsal.

"Research on the Tunguska region is still just a mystery. Whether it is Tsarist Russia or the former Soviet Union, most of their relevant research laboratories have been abandoned.

This phenomenon occurs not only because some research is extremely dangerous, but also, most importantly, because the research direction is too messy.

In the overall research process, there are not only orthodox scientific research schools, but also some supernatural research schools.

You should also know that the former Soviet Union once had a force that specialized in studying paranormal phenomena. This style is actually not special. Whenever unexplainable phenomena are encountered, personnel from the Paranormal Research Society will come to intervene.

The sleep deprivation experiment you mentioned was probably led by members of the Society for Paranormal Research.

My grandfather belongs to the orthodox scientific school. The so-called meteorite theory is just a very general concept. It represents the impact and explosion of a high-polymer energy body.

This high-polymer energy body could be a meteorite or something else, but such a hypothesis is not welcomed by the military.

I think you should know that sleep deprivation experiments began in 1940, and the first atomic bomb was successfully tested in 1945. You should be able to guess why sleep deprivation experiments were terminated and abandoned. "

At first, I just thought Gogol was talking nonsense, but I didn't expect that what he said next would be so explosive. In his line of logic, he actually believed that the explosion in the Tunguska region was a sudden collapse of a high-energy body.

This high-energy explosion may be a nuclear bomb, or it may be the collapse of other super energy bodies.

It was precisely after the former Soviet Union realized the existence of nuclear explosions that it ended its support for sleep deprivation experiments and began to devote all its efforts to researching atomic bombs.

Therefore, the sleep deprivation experiment was not finally abandoned because of the spirit riot. The spirit riot may just be an inducement, an inducement that makes the military feel unstable.

Thinking about it, if you have a controllable weapon of mass destruction, why would you try to control a spiritual weapon with uncontrollable risks?

At this point in the conversation, it seems that many things have been corrected, but this kind of good self-correction still makes Bai Ning feel uneasy.

It went so well!

Everything went too smoothly!
