Urban Legends: The Legacy of Ancient Civilizations

Suddenly sinking, Bai Ning's consciousness returned to the current infinite void.

Looking at his restored feet, Bai Ning once again felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

All shackles are given by yourself. When all the shackles are lifted, the shackles will naturally disappear.

When you come here, what you get is this kind of liberation and enlightenment at the ideological level?

In the analysis of meaning, can we really find ultimate relief and release?

So, was this current encounter given to me by the old man from before?

Looking around, there was still no sign of the old man.

Disappeared?

After aging for who knows how many years, did it finally turn into a wisp of smoke and dissipate at this special moment?

A strong feeling of sadness surged up again, which made Bai Ning unwilling to believe that the old man from before had just disappeared.

Not a word was said, not a word was spoken, just a long gaze, and then it finally disappeared quietly.

It was like a last breath of instructions, and it was like imparting all the most important insights of his life to Bai Ning, a foreigner of his own race.

But what is the reason for this inexplicable emotional fluctuation?

The existence of inexplicable emotions shows that the mechanism here still exists.

Higher-level existences still exist, so the old man from before will not disappear.

Is it a self-deception based on self-illusion?

Because you have learned something and gained something, do you naturally think that this is a gift and reward from an aging individual?

Why are there rewards?

Is it just because Bai Ning thinks the other person is of the same race?

Have you fallen into an inexplicable sense of self-superiority again?

Running wildly on the wrong road, in a sense, isn't it the same as continuing to get lost?

Subconsciously, I glanced at my feet, which truly existed independently and did not continue to merge into this nothingness.

Why is there such a subconscious action?

Why do you think the independence of the feet is a symbol of self-liberation?

Have you brainwashed yourself during the process just now?

In this wrong suggestion, have you built a wrong cognitive system for yourself?

Fear suddenly rose, Bai Ning seemed to see the horror of this space of consciousness.

Starting from the humanoid old man at the beginning, this was the first psychological hint given to Bai Ning by the higher-level existence here, followed by the restraint of the feet, and then various related psychological fluctuations.

Through Bai Ning's own thinking ability, higher-level beings constantly let him brainwash himself, and finally became a chaotic individual existing in established cognitive biases.

This is a process that castrates Bai Ning's self-thought, and is also a process that automatically enhances the majesty and credibility of a higher-level existence.

When this silent old man suddenly appears again, then for Bai Ning, this is the most trustworthy person.

And because of its scarcity that disappears from time to time, Bai Ning will be extremely eager to seize the opportunity in front of him and do some high-risk things in conjunction with the image of the old man.

This result of indirectly controlling Bai Ning and actively mobilizing Bai Ning's expectations to rush in the wrong direction was effortless.

Wrong established cognition and wrong trust objects often cause unimaginable serious harm in this extremely dangerous area!

Letting his mind slowly calm down in this turbulent sea, Bai Ning continued to look around this empty space.

Perhaps because the time was not yet ripe, the image of the old man still did not appear.

The only good thing is that Bai Ning's feet are still free and he can go wherever he wants.

However, for this empty space with no boundaries at all, the freedom of your feet does not represent true freedom, but only a self-righteous freedom.

There is no set goal, and there is no actual reference standard for distance, so Bai Ning's process of moving forward is a process of self-paralysis.

Moving forward and staying are actually just two different states of prohibition.

From the moment he entered this special space of consciousness, Bai Ning was already in a state of imprisonment. However, the overall environment here and various corresponding psychological hints and details told Bai Ning that he was free.

It was precisely because of the established fact that Bai Ning had entered the prison that the image of the old man disappeared so unscrupulously.

Everything is under his control, what is there that he can't let go of?

"Come out."

Bai Ning's faint tone echoed in this empty nothingness, a very inexplicable echo effect. According to Bai Ning's established knowledge, there should be no echo here, only an infinitely empty and distant sound effect.

After the remaining sounds disappeared, the image of the old man still did not appear, as if Bai Ning's unusually calm and deliberate plan was nothing more than a self-righteous joke.

What a nihilistic prison space, what a fearless deliberate disappearance, what a twists and turns of scheming strategies.

The current space is a piece of pure nothingness.

Everything that once existed here has disappeared, leaving only a foreign Bai Ning speculating here and deceiving himself and others.

Dead silence is dead silence, an unknowable dilemma that is about to turn into despair.

The things that controlled this place disappeared, and Bai Ning, an outsider who wanted to leave here, seemed as elusive and unknowable as the road to heaven.

Sure enough, did that decision that I thought was smart, the decision to enter this conscious space without authorization, lead to this absolute self-imprisonment ending?

It was precisely because the image of the old man saw through this that he disappeared so brazenly.

There may be communication barriers between the two, and some basic level interactions are impossible because of their positions.

The possibility of mutual communication is very low, coupled with communication barriers, this may be the fundamental reason why the image of the old man disappeared directly.

After putting in all the effort to get here, not only did we not get any substantial results, we didn't even know how to get out of here.

Can such factual results be described as failure?

Can we find a glimmer of hope in such a predetermined ending of failure, and can it support the hope of subsequent dealings?

In this isolated space, Bai Ning could only continue to engage in various self-speculations in order to find some opportunities to continue struggling in this empty space that was close to despair.

Resistance to failure is almost an instinct.

What is the inevitable correlation between this restlessness originating from instinct and the existence here?

Completely unable to think of a reason, Bai Ning could only take a step aimlessly, walking towards this seemingly cramped but seemingly infinite void space.
