Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2548 The Unseen Lighthouse
A lighthouse? And it shines?

So it really is a quote? The resonance across time is really nice.

The person behind the door still seemed a bit incoherent, but given the familiar shape, some things were already being confirmed for those in front.

If Moore's arrangement—the lighthouse in the eyes of the wise dead—is indeed related to these people, then what is its purpose?

This is a question that was raised earlier, and the prevailing view at the time was that the object was found in this location first, and then it was set up later.

Instead of relying on information from the academy, they used that as a clue to find their way here.

To be honest, it's somewhat counterintuitive, but the victory of this logic seems to be recognized at this moment.

If it was arranged later, then it must be meaningful for the normal operation of this place.

The person behind the door just agreed with his statement, admitting that he really couldn't determine whether the individual in this place was a shadow.

Then, facing the paradox he had deliberately created, he brought himself here to receive guidance from the lighthouse, and was confident that he could solve it.

In conclusion, the purpose of a lighthouse is to help us confirm our own status, to see if we have unknowingly become a shadow.

"Stand on the prism."

As his thoughts raced, the person behind the door gave him further instructions: he really did have to stand on that pattern.

"What, are you scared?"

And they urged him impatiently.

Prism? It's amazing how similar their names are.

This anxiety is something that experts should never dismiss.

Fu Qian said that at that moment, he even found a sense of resonance with academics.

When Moore was exploring, he eventually borrowed the method of using the Star Prism, and it turns out that the people who gave that eye a name was also Prism.

"Yes, this name is very fitting."

He didn't want to test the audience's patience any longer, so he went straight up to the platform.

They even specially adjusted their orientation to face the distant Moors.

The night was still deep, and even the stars overhead seemed less vibrant.

In this strange chaos, if a ray of light could shine through, the experience would undoubtedly be quite pleasant.

Only when you are in the midst of the vastness do you realize how precious guidance is.

……

The air was quieter than the lake surface.

Professor Fu, who is always very immersive, seemed to transform into a knowledge seeker from many years ago at that moment, pausing briefly in an unknown predicament to examine himself.

This atmosphere blends so well with the environment, so naturally that one doesn't even want to make a sound to disturb it.

Of course, the audience is not only interested in this. Everyone is so busy. Appreciating the temperament is one thing, but how could they forget what they originally planned to do?

But it is precisely under this premise that the silence becomes even more suffocating, a feeling of not catching one's breath and waiting with unwavering eyes.

And when it comes to the moment that tests lung capacity, time always seems to pass especially slowly.

Fu Qian remained silent when he shouldn't have, standing there as if he had turned into a statue, putting extra pressure on the audience.

"what happened?"

At one point, someone finally couldn't hold back and let out a low growl, filled with disbelief.

Almost a minute has passed, and the figure with its back to this side is still only accompanied by starlight.

Like the long night a thousand years ago.

……

What happened? That's a good question.

So, just like the people on Moore's side, seeing the lighthouse wasn't a good thing. It gave them a sense of being abandoned by the light, but at that moment, the whole situation became much clearer to them.

The verification methods proposed by the researchers are actually quite unfriendly to imposters like themselves.

After all, there is a very basic question that hasn't even been figured out: if one has fallen into a shadow state, should one be able to see the lighthouse or not when standing here?

Aside from knowing the tower's purpose, he didn't even understand its core design, leaving him practically a lamb to the slaughter, making it difficult to even forge.

Fortunately, after a series of investigations and analyses, I have gained some understanding of the underlying principles.

That lighthouse exists only in the Mole in the storm; only those whose balance between life and death has been broken can enter and make contact with it from the real Mole.

If you think about it, doesn't it look a bit like the upside-down lake in front of you?
When I last came here, there was nothing there, but this time there is such a big building.

Theoretically, it is also a switching between two opposing states.

Therefore, for someone like me, standing before that eye almost made me understand how a lighthouse guides the lost.

Researchers have ventured into the interior of the Ash Sea to conduct forbidden and dangerous research, so they must take some protective measures.

For example, constantly checking whether you are lost or not.

As mentioned earlier, in this shadow state, if one takes oneself as the starting point, any self-censorship may become ineffective.

At this point, the lighthouse becomes an external anchor point.

Through certain special arrangements, the two can echo each other across a great distance.

When the lights are on, it's one state; when the lights are off, it's another state.

As for how the two states correspond, and which one represents trouble, clues can already be gleaned from the audience's existential questions at this moment—

They see themselves as shadows, but now they cannot accept the absence of light, indicating a contradiction between the two.

Lighthouses only guide the lost; it seems that standing here to attract light is not a good thing.

And since we're in completely opposite states, if you're not the shadow, then the shadow is us...

"It's almost time."

At that moment, Fu Qian turned around at the right time and greeted the audience.

"impossible……"

"Something must have gone wrong on Moore's end!"

"He definitely tampered with it."

This immediately sparked a strong reaction.

……

You guessed right, Moore did indeed make a mistake.

With a mocking smile, Fu Qian looked like a victor on a pistol reel, waiting for the other to pull the trigger.

Of course, under this pressure, no one knew that he actually agreed with some of those desperate cries.

When I left Moore earlier, I casually dismantled the core of the lighthouse and brought it here, which is how I found this place.

It is almost certain that the researchers' setup has lost its effectiveness.

So almost all of their guesses were correct; they had cheated as contestants.

Regardless of whether the status is problematic or not, the result of standing here will almost always be that it will not light up.

"Whether it's been tampered with or not, why don't you come over and try it and you'll know?"

Of course, we're all in this together, and cheating is often accompanied by a serious attack on one's conscience; it's a classic tactic.

As the audience's wailing gradually subsided, Fu Qian even added with a smile.
