[Comprehensive Yingmei] Really nothing happened

Humans have an instinctive fear of the dark.

Because more than 80.00% of the information humans obtain from the outside world comes from vision.Once they entered the darkness, the amount of information they obtained would be reduced by more than half.

Without enough information, a sound judgment cannot be made. (Of course, we all know that sometimes even having enough information can't make a good judgment.)

Unknown means possible danger.

In other words, human beings' fear of darkness is actually an instinctive avoidance of danger.

……

Children who grew up in this small town don't know what's in this abandoned tunnel.

They only know that there is "danger", but they don't even know what the so-called "danger" might look like.In a sense, this fueled their curiosity and gave them inexplicable courage.

Anyway, there are still two idiots here who don't know anything, and we will be a little behind when the time comes, just use them as a shield when we encounter danger.That's what the kids thought back then.

That was an ignorant but malicious thought.But ah... this is human beings, the inferiority that human beings can never abandon.

……

The place they are going to is an abandoned tunnel.

Of course, even if it is abandoned, the tunnel is still a tunnel. It is impossible to have a door at the entrance, and naturally there will be no such plot of "push people in, then close the door, turn around and run".

Moreover, this kind of tunnel is basically straight, and only the front and rear sides can run.Of course, the one with any door on the side of the tunnel obviously doesn't count.

To sum up, after several young people entered, they could only walk slowly along one road.

……

Although there are already various electric devices and batteries in this era, the flashlight has just been invented at this time, so it is naturally impossible for it to appear in such a small town that does not keep pace with the times, let alone be used by children at that time. They are used as an essential tool for exploration.

So they can only make up the number with things like kerosene lamps.

It is naturally impossible for Jennifer and Jeremy to carry this kind of thing, but Buck and the others are happy to lend them their lights.

The two were very moved, thinking that this was the performance of the other party's trust in them, so they decided to go ahead.

The disadvantage of this lighting tool is obvious, it not only consumes fuel, but also consumes oxygen.In the innermost part of the tunnel, because the air is not circulating, the few of them still have to breathe and consume oxygen, so, living up to expectations——

With a sound of "噗——", the kerosene lamp suddenly went out.

"..." Several people stayed for a few seconds.At this time, the cost of education was still high, and chemistry had not yet become a popular subject, so it was naturally impossible for these children to know the principle behind this phenomenon.

In this state of nervous tension, when an unexpected situation really occurs, the brain will stop thinking for a second or two.

Then--

"Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" They finally reacted, couldn't help screaming, and rushed towards the entrance of the tunnel.

We all remember that if you want to get out of this kind of place, there is only one way——

However, under the light of the setting sun, they saw a person standing at the entrance of the tunnel.

……

When Yemengard walked to the entrance of the tunnel, he knew he was right.There is indeed something tricky here.

Those strange... things should be inside.

However, she still felt that there was a breath of a living person inside, and it was someone who had just entered.

Uh, well, she just saw the light inside =-=

Then, suddenly, the flames went out.However, the predator standing in the dark didn't show any signs of attacking.

Cheetahs will lower their bodies before ambushing their prey, both for exertion and to reduce the vigilance of the prey.

But that's not its real intent.Ye Mengjia was determined.

what is the reason?

Is it because she is here?This is an answer that Yemengard thinks may not be a big deal.

Is it afraid of her existence, to the point of... being unable to move?Hehe, this kind of creature still has a certain degree of wildness. When encountering a terrible enemy, they will always choose to store up their energy, and then burn the boat.

There is another more likely answer, that is - it regards Yemengard as its own prey, so it hides itself in the dark, trying to catch them all.

After discovering that she herself might be a huge threat to these existences, Ye Mengjiade recalled the various documents she had read before, and moved a little bit based on the content that seemed to be divine. To a certain extent, It ensures that other existences will not notice their abnormality.

So, what to do next?

Jormungandr lowered his eyes.

Right now—at least right now, she couldn't choose to just kill everyone present.It's really refreshing to be impulsive like that, but she is a (snake) rational person (snake), and her vision is far-sighted compared to the entire universe.

She didn't want to do such a stupid move even for humans.

What should I do?

She heard several young people screaming one after another from inside.

Without thinking about it, they knew that they regarded her as a terrible guy.

However, Yermunga had to think, she didn't hate the feeling of being feared by others.

……

In the previous world, Jormungandr has always been a god, worshiped by some fanatics.

She didn't ask the other Old Ones how they felt when they encountered such a thing.But she herself is... In human language, it is closer to the attitude of "not liking".

On the one hand, she doesn't like being disturbed in her sleep; on the other hand, when those fanatics hold ceremonies, there will often be some "investigators" who will find ways to sneak in and disrupt the ceremony.

Well, she had nothing to say about the action itself, and in a sense, Jormungandr didn't mind them messing things up.But...the bonus follow-up after their successful operation is not very pleasant.

These investigators themselves, or people around them, often have various connections with these things, which is one of the reasons why they can find the stronghold of these fanatics.For the same reason, they will pass on the information they find in the stronghold to the relevant people, or they will study it themselves.

One thing that makes people (snakes) very puzzled is that not only does she not understand how the information related to Jormungandr spread, but also, like the information left by other old masters, brings There are chilling side effects.

Those professors who studied other Old Ones ended up dying tragically, some went crazy, and of course some came back before the San value was lost.

But these guys who studied Jormungandr... all died not long after starting the research.
