Destroyed 6th Exploration Log.

Explorer:

- Special Advisor ██, male, Chinese descent, medium body build, slight antisocial personality, and a trash talker.

- Dr. ██, female, age, thin body build, diagnosed for malnutrition.

Both were equipped with a 500-watt searchlight capable of maintaining a 72-hour charge, a backpack containing two bottles of water, several nutritional supplements, a rope, a pack of melons, a Colt pistol, and did not carry any video equipment.

Dr. ██: Why did you come here secretly in the middle of the night?

Advisor ██: If I told you that the little boy's voice asking for help, I once heard it in a dream, would you believe it?

Dr. ██: No.

Advisor ██ (spreads his hands): Then there's nothing more to say.

Dr. ██: I will report your behavior to the Foundation.

Advisor ██: Do what you want. I'm used to having a lot of girls snitch on me when I was in school anyway.

Dr. ██: That's because you grew up doing something out of the ordinary.

The little boy's cry for help can be heard down to the tenth platform, and Advisor ██ listened carefully. There was darkness all around, Advisor ██ did not speak, and the whole stairwell was quiet. Dr. ██ can't help but lean towards Advisor ██.

Advisor ██: Are you afraid?

Dr. ██: No.

Advisor ██: Wow, even at this moment you're so bold, how enviable, then I'll tell you a ghost story -

Dr. ██: No!

Advisor ██ (laughed arrogantly): Hahahahaha-

Dr. ██ (frowned): I wonder why you haven't been killed on the side of the road.

Advisor ██: You can ask the Joint Committee of Annihilation and the Anti-Volunteer League about this kind of thing, they've been trying to get me killed for more than a day or two, but unfortunately, they've failed every time, after all, even the most cunning hunter can't beat a good fox.

Dr. ██: Why am I not the least bit surprised to hear about those two groups?

Advisor ██: Perhaps you could join them.

Dr. ██: Oh, that would be an honor.

They continued down the road. Unlike the previous explorers, the Advisor's steps were brisk, and the journey seemed like a tourist tour as if he didn't care about the dangers below. When they reached the 100th floor, they stopped to rest.

Dr. ██ (holding the flashlight tightly): You're really not afraid?

Advisor ██: Let me tell you this, because of genetics, I am not naturally sensitive to emotions like fear.

Dr. ██ (sigh): In a way, you are really suitable for working in the Foundation.

Advisor ██: I can teach you a simple but proven way to overcome fear.

Dr. ██ (looking serious): How?

Advisor ██: Whenever you have the Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes music playing in your head, it can effectively dispel your fear.

Dr. ██: Pretend I didn't ask.

Advisor ██: Don't believe it? Heh, try it- Head, shoulders, knees, and toes. Knees and toes. Head, shoulders, knees, and toes. Knees and toes. And eyes, and ears, and mouth, and nose. Head, shoulders, knees, and toes. Knees and toes. March, march, march. Let's all march. March, march, march. Get your body charged!
