The author's diary of ghost stories

On the afternoon of April 7, 2046 in Cyber ​​Calendar, a craze for the spread of the "God of Knowledge and Truth" appeared in various places in Cyber ​​City, and public demonstrations spread within a very short period of time.

Faced with the recent frequent strange events in Cyber ​​City and the intensifying trend of "resurrection of ancient gods", Cybermen have given their own unique answer, which is religion.

In an atmosphere of absurdity and terror, human beings turn to faith. This is not a manifestation of superstition, because ghost stories are idealistic, and the existence of ghost stories is real. Human beings who grow up in this environment have a lot of knowledge about praying to gods and worshiping Buddha. Strong will.

They know that "gods" and "buddhas" really exist and can really protect mankind.

What surprised and surprised ordinary people even more was that they discovered that the Cyber ​​City government and some chaebol companies were also openly and covertly supporting and spreading this kind of thing. This made them feel extremely confident and believed that their actions were completely illegal. is correct.

In fact, such demonstrations did have some effects. Some of the strange creatures that revealed their physical form slowly withdrew from the public demonstrations and fled to more remote corners.

"Villers" come from the underlying consciousness of Cybermen. When a large number of Cybermen gather into one force, the abilities of "Villers" will also appear.

A golden light invisible to ordinary people appears on the bodies of ordinary people, like the solidification of the power of faith, protecting them from all poisons and invulnerability. The stronger the ranks of the people, the greater this golden light becomes.

It is a pity that this layer of golden light can only be seen by those who have achieved Taoism. Otherwise, in the eyes of ordinary people, it would be like a golden light filling the sky, like gods and Buddhas coming to the world.

A large number of videos spread on the Internet. Some monsters were "scared away" by the demonstrators, and were even trampled and beaten to death by humans who were so confident that they generated a lot of hostility. They no longer looked as powerful as before.

And these videos have intensified the people's deep belief in their faith. Under the oppression of fear, almost everyone will complete the change of mentality as quickly as possible, just to be gregarious and to feel at ease.

Of course, some demonstrators also broke into the territory of some bad-tempered ancient gods. The only consequence of such a thing is to cause a large number of murders and massacres.

Golden light is of great use when facing ordinary strange creatures, but when facing ancient gods of the same level, its role is only as a "warning". Ancient gods who are willing to give face to the "villagers" will take the initiative to move away, and those who are not willing to The ancient god will completely turn this area into a no man's land.

Other people who were online or witnessed this scene would not think much about it. They would only think that these people who were killed and alienated were not pious enough, so they did not enjoy the blessing, or they had shallow blessings.

Such people deserve to die.

This is only the first stage, and the entire Cyber ​​City has already become extremely chaotic.

Immediately afterwards, the human beings who participated in the riots experienced a process of transformation according to the proportion of faith and piety in their hearts.

It is said to be "divine transformation", but in fact it is the "ghost transformation" that the Cybermen were most afraid of in the past. However, the Cybermen are no longer afraid of this kind of ghost transformation. Instead, they think it is God's attack on the pious. The greatest blessing.

In fact, these ghosts who appeared later had stronger physiques, showed good qualities when encountering various dangers, and did not have much desire to harm other humans, only the desire to assimilate.

In a short period of time, the Cybermen entered the second stage - full transformation into ghosts.

In this process, the Sese ghosts originally created by Li Huachao also showed extremely strong communication efficiency, and they are of the same origin as the ghosts created by Aze, are essentially the same, and can transform into each other.

Atop the high-rise building, Aze's body quietly watched the occasional fires and explosions in Cyber ​​City. The sound of gunshots sounded like firecrackers. If it weren't for the smell of gunpowder smoke, it would even make players from reality think it was the Spring Festival. .

The battles between humans and strange creatures, the battles between humans, those chaos, those disasters, those indulgences and violence that are rare for ordinary people to encounter in a hundred years are all vividly reflected at this moment.

But Aze, who was standing on the high platform, had an expressionless face. Compared to the mortal world on the ground, he was like a god observing human beings, turning a deaf ear to the suffering and suffering in the human world.

Now, he can't save anyone, and he even wants to kill people, actively kill people, and keep killing people, so that he can save more people at some point in the future.

"This is really a disaster." The secretary walked up from one side, bowed slightly, and glanced at the killing scene in the distance from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but murmured.

However, he soon felt that the meaning of this sentence was not good, so he added: "But in order to save more people, this is a worthy sacrifice."

"No, it's not worth it." Aze's eyes did not move, always focusing on the car damage caused by the explosion on the roadside. A little boy was crying beside the burning car wheel.

For him, this day was undoubtedly dark. He almost lost everything except his life.

Of course, if there was no accident, he might not even be able to save his own life.

"It is not accurate to use the trolley problem to describe the current problem." Aze just shook his head, "Sacrificing a few people to save the majority of people is a 'utilitarian' approach. Reason and the overall situation seem to be Reasons to excuse me, but that would be looking down on me.”

He smiled: "The choice I made was not for anyone. Maybe at some point in time, I would do things for others, and do some troublesome and weird things that go against my interests. It's just because I want to." "

"For these people who died in disasters and turmoil, the karma of their deaths can all be accumulated on me. I don't care about this." Aze looked at the secretary beside him with a smile.

But the secretary was shocked when he heard this: "No, this is not appropriate to say at this time. There is something related to the karma in this copy. If the karma is really added to..."

"You came late, so you may not know what I have done." Aze interrupted him, still shaking his head, "I have always had bad luck, and this is not an accident. Compared with using words and actions to express my gratitude to others, I have always had bad luck. Something in this world is showing weakness and to excuse it, I would rather be pure me.”

The secretary lowered his head slightly. He thought deeply about Aze's words, and his fanatical admiration for Aze appeared in his eyes.

Being a pure person, going his own way, knowing all the pros and cons but still insisting on his choice, and having the practical ability to turn all ideas into reality, never talking in vain, how can such a determined and persistent person not be fascinating?

Being able to become the other party's secretary is really the happiest thing in the world!

"Tell me, why did you come to me?" Aze didn't pay attention to his secretary's psychological activities. He only needed to be his own leader.

The personality traits of the personality clones are reproduced according to the person they play, so he cannot guarantee that each personality clone will be absolutely loyal to him. For example, the Erwu Zai Blacksmith, his loyalty is very low and is only limited to the entire group. And it was not a fighting profession, so he was crushed to death.

Among them, the current secretary was not the first to follow him, but he was the most loyal. He was so loyal that he was almost fanatical, which he found interesting.

"In Cyber ​​City, there are some intellectuals or wise men who feel uneasy about the spread of the 'God of Knowledge and Truth'. They are investigating clues related to it and want to use their influence to quell this turmoil." Secretary Report quickly.

"Well, that's normal. Not everyone is a 'rabble'." Aze nodded, "At the same time, there is nothing we can do about it."

He sighed, as if he wanted to express his pity, but suddenly he laughed as if he thought of something: "But these rational and conscientious people who can really explore the truth will never be saved. Isn’t that interesting?”

People who are keenly aware that there is something wrong with the "God of Knowledge and Truth" will instinctively be on guard in their hearts. Such people will not have faith, which means that they will never change into the ghosts in Aze's ghost stories.

If you can't become a ghost, you can't have the characteristics of a player. In this case, even if the root ghost story is completed, they will not be redeemed, but will fall into deeper despair.

Because by that time, all the irrational and indulgent ghosts have successfully left the copy of Cyber ​​City, and only these wise men will live with the terrifying ghost stories forever, falling into despair forever.

I wonder if at that time, rational people who know all the truth will regret that they did not follow their animal nature and join this carnival team?

Human beings abandoned their rationality and were saved, but those who preserved their rationality fell into the abyss. It must be said that this is the greatest malice in the world.

Such black humor made Aze laugh instinctively, but he did not expect such a scene to really happen. He could not change the rationality of these wise men, and he did not hope that these wise men would inspire more people's rationality.

The wise man thinks that he is saving people on the edge of the cliff, but every time he awakens a human's reason, he is "killing" the possibility of that person's escape.

"Go kill them. Reason is born lonely and is destined to be abandoned by this era. Why not earlier? There will still be a clear target of hatred." Aze smiled again, and these simple words determined these people. Destiny, "The murderer, me."

The secretary nodded slightly and stepped back to carry out Aze's order.

Aze turned around and looked at the car wreckage again. The street below had become much quieter now, and the little boy who was supposed to be crying beside the car wreckage had disappeared.

Perhaps he was eaten by a monster, or perhaps he was taken away by a good person. Aze did not see the truth, but silently looked at another chaos.

At this moment, the face of the animal trainer also appeared in his mind.

Obviously, the animal trainer was doing something secretly. The other party did not hide this at all. Even the request for private communication with the white humanoid was made in front of him.

It just felt like "I have selfish motives and will do little things, but I won't hide it from you." It seemed like a provocation to him.

No, it's not a provocation, more like an invitation.

It's just like--

Come on, I will help you complete this matter. I will definitely support you in the general direction, but at the same time, I will also play tricks. Let’s see who can have the last laugh.

This feeling made Aze feel very strange. Not only did he not dislike it, but he actually liked it too much.

Interesting guy.

Therefore, Aze also abides by the rules of the game and abides by the tacit rules of the game. He will also do his best to prevent the animal trainer's plan from succeeding.

From his point of view, he really had nothing to lose.

The animal trainer wants nothing more than the following:

1. The control of Cyber ​​City player Ghost.

2. The implicit control rights of “villagers”.

3. The white humanoid follower.

Probably only these three things can catch the eye of an animal trainer, so Aze only needs to take precautions against these three things.

Cyber ​​City player Ghost has control over the controller. The controller has always been placed in a secret location. Apart from him, only trusted clones know the location.

There are probably only two ways to get the terminal controller. One is to rely on the special ghost talk ability, or even rely on the root ghost talk ability to do this.

To prevent this, you may need to use some props that can block the ghost talk. He has many such props, but there are not many that can block the source of the ghost talk.

Of course, the words used here are worth it. Tens of thousands of Cybermen are worth much more than a few props.

The second is the alienation meter. The location of the terminal controller may also be known through the insider.

The most likely person to become a mole is the blacksmith who has always been hostile. During this period, just let the other clones watch him carefully and don't give the blacksmith a chance to act alone.

The second is the implicit control of the villagers, but this control is closely related to the player ghost. It can be said that if the player ghost is not satisfied, there will be no possibility of controlling the villagers, and this requires waiting until they complete the root and return to reality. Only in China can it be possible.

He is not the beast tamer, and he does not know the actual speed of the player's ghost spread. This means that he has no ability to control time, and the possibility of doing such a thing is extremely slim.

In the end, the white humanoid will follow. This is somewhat possible, but this is also possible after all the Cybermen go to the City of Forgetfulness, because at that time, the white humanoid will make plans based on the trainer and him. choose.

It's a bit like a deal. Whoever can put forward conditions that satisfies the white humanoid will be able to obtain the followers of this source of ghost talk, but there is another thing that needs to be taken into consideration.

That's ability.

Aze knew that he would definitely be able to show off his abilities in the Cyber ​​City dungeon and save at least tens of thousands of Cybermen, while the beast tamer was the one who was the underdog. The ability of both parties was high, so white The human form should choose him.

The only thing that worried him was what the trainer said to the white humanoid. He felt that this was the other party's only chance to make a comeback.

But that will be at least ten hours later. Don't worry if the ghosts haven't spread to the entire Cyber ​​City.

He still had plenty of time to slowly test Yu Liang and find out what the other party wanted to do.

At the same time, Yu Liang on the other side naturally didn't know how much time Aze had, because he didn't have much time, only two or three hours left.

The explosion in the village happened seven hours ago. [The person who cheats time] can control the events nine hours before "now", which means that he cannot control the sequence of the explosion in the village after two hours.

Two hours, that's the last time.

The color in Yu Liang's eyes gradually became firmer, he was about to set off! (End of chapter)
