Chapter 439 It’s scary to think about it carefully
The airship Gordon and others came on has been waiting in a cave twenty or thirty kilometers away from the Lingfeng Mountains.
Very close to the retreat meeting point.
Before nightfall, the airship set sail smoothly - this is the benefit of having a mine at home.
There is no need to consider issues such as routes and departure times. The driver and crew are all employees of the company and can go wherever they are called. It is as convenient as riding a Marutori car.
Professor and the others couldn't help but look at Ancier a few more times.
There are some young masters and ladies who have such family conditions and come to work as hunters through life and death, but most of them are just curious to experience life.
"Playing" for a while, when I got tired and scared, I ran away.
It can be said that there is only one person like Ancier who has been promoted to five stars at such a young age and is close to the upper level.
In order to avoid being discovered by Lan Long, the airship did not dare to rise too high after taking off.
It wasn’t until the main peak of the Lingfeng Mountain Range, which towered into the clouds like a pillar of the sky, disappeared beyond the horizon that everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
“Gordon, Pork Chop, tell us everything you saw and experienced in the ruins in as much detail as possible.
Pork Chop has briefly said it before, but it was too vague. You hadn’t come back yet and it was very uneasy.
Don't worry about talking "nonsense", don't let go of what you feel, think, physical sensations, even if they are hallucinations on the psychological and spiritual level.
Be inclusive of all aspects and don’t ignore every detail. "
The professor prepared pen and paper and planned to record what they said verbatim.
Gordon was a little confused. He was too tired, but he thought that it would take time to summarize and organize information. If he fell asleep now, the transmission of information would take at least a whole day at night, so he had to brace himself.
“Hayata, help me ask the airship crew if they have any vitality drinks.”
Hayata glanced at Gordon worriedly, but also knew the importance of the matter at the moment, nodded her chin, and went to find the crew.
“Where do I start? Well, let me think about it. Pig Pork and I tried our best to avoid attacks and escape, and finally arrived near the ruins.
Lanlong obviously hesitated for a moment, and then began to prepare to breathe. It obviously didn't want to get too close to the ruins.
Since the only crack we found before is at the top of the ruins, it is really difficult to climb, so I thought of using the attack of the mist dragon to destroy the outer wall of the ruins and enter."
Gordon started when he used flash bombs to distract Lanlong from his sight and lure him to break through the outer wall of the ruins.
Professor interrupted questions from time to time, even asking how Pork Chop came up with the idea of using the incendiary agent in the incendiary bomb as a torch.
“Hum meow—, does this have something to do with what happens next?” Pig Pa, who was also very sleepy, yawned and asked.
The professor pushed up his glasses with a very serious expression, "Yes, you may not realize how evil that 'taboo' really is.
Even its relics can drive people crazy. There is even a view among some scholars that those ominous relics will tempt people to discover them.
I want to confirm whether your idea of making a torch and starting to explore is completely out of your own subjective will, or whether you received some kind of "guidance". "
Gordon and Pig Pork looked at each other, and they both felt their hearts tingling.
“So, it seems that I was a little excited in the ruins?”
Gordon said hesitantly: "I'm not sure whether this is a sign of mental relaxation after temporarily getting rid of the Lansaurus, or the influence of the Dino Tyrannosaurus armor.
Or maybe it’s the influence of ‘that thing’? "
"Are you excited? I wrote it down." The professor quickly wrote a few lines.
Obviously not just "written down", but a lot of notes added.
“Well, isn’t this a little suspicious?”
"No, no, what Pork Chop said is very important." The professor stared into Gordon's eyes, "Please carefully recall why you had the idea of 'finding something' at that time."
"Senior Gordon, vitality drink" At this time, Hayata came over and handed Gordon a bottle of potion.
"Thank you." Gordon smiled at her, drank half the bottle in one go, and gave the rest to the pig.
“Huh—, wake up now. Let’s think about it. At first, I wanted to find other exits from the ruins. Later, after Pig Chop mentioned the ‘line of sight’, I thought that might be the key to getting rid of Misty Dragon.”
"Why? Why do you think that thing can help you get rid of Lanlong? You didn't know what it was at the time, or even whether it existed." The professor asked.
Gordon felt that the professor was a little confused, but he still answered patiently: "I just think that something that makes Lan Long afraid may be able to scare Lan Long away."
“Then why did you change your mind in the end? Pig Chop told me before that he proposed to take away the eyeball to deter Lan Long, but you thought it would further anger Lan Long and vetoed the proposal.”
Gordon opened his mouth.
Yes, why did his thoughts change 180 degrees?
Gordon tried hard to recall, and said: "I insisted on facing the skull again. After facing the eyeball, I no longer had fear in my heart.
Then I felt that Lan Long should be no more timid than me, so I changed my mind. That should be the case. "
“The abnormal point is not after you see the head, but before.”
At this point, the professor paused and said, "Let me ask in a different direction, do you think that thing is scary? Tell me what you thought when you first saw it."
“Of course it’s scary. The worst-case scenario I imagined was to encounter some kind of ancient monster, but the remote monster I imagined was just bigger, with sharp teeth and claws, powerful attacks, and amazing momentum.
And the head.
If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I couldn’t imagine that a dead thing could almost drive us crazy.”
Speaking of this, Gordon was suddenly stunned.
His initial idea was to find something that Lan Long was afraid of and use that thing to frighten Lan Long away.
After seeing the head, which was far more terrifying than what he imagined, he was shocked to realize that Lanlong was not afraid of "a head".
So how did you come up with such a ridiculous idea in the first place? Why do you think that some kind of "dead object" can scare away an ancient dragon that can easily cause natural disasters?
"I"
The professor glanced at Gordon, who was speechless, and sighed: "In my opinion, after entering the ruins, your thinking has indeed been affected.
This influence lasts until the moment you face the skull and evil eyes again and break away from fear.
I have to say, Gordon, you are very brave. Most people may have gone crazy when they first saw that thing.
Even if you are not crazy, you will not have the courage to face it again and get rid of your fear.
But if you had not done this at the time, you might have made more seemingly normal but inexplicable choices later on. "
“It seems normal, but it’s actually an inexplicable choice.” Gordon muttered, repeating the professor’s words.
In the ruins, my thoughts did change several times to "it seems like there is no problem".
The first one—find the thing and frighten away the dragon.
Later - Ignore the body warning, it would be too embarrassing to be scared away without seeing the thing.
Finally - retreat now, that sense of unclear sight will become a lifelong nightmare.
No matter how your thoughts change, there is only one core goal.
—Keep moving forward to see ‘it’.
