The author's diary of ghost stories

Before Lu Baoshen said "I don't believe it", Yu Liang didn't really believe it either.

There is no other reason. The feeling of retreating now is not right. It does not feel like there is a "person" dragging me behind, but more like I am floating upwards uncontrollably.

Moreover, Li Huachao's speculation was a bit too shocking. At this moment, Yu Liang did not feel that there was any source of ghost talk behind him.

However, Lu Baoshen said "I don't believe it."

At this moment, all speculations were meaningless. Yu Liang clearly knew how terrifying Lu Baoshen's causal weapon was.

Originally, there was no such a high-dimensional monster off the screen, but when Lu Baoshen said "I don't believe it", this high-dimensional creature came into being.

Maybe this was just a joke on Lu Baoshen's ability, but Yu Liang absolutely trusted Lu Baoshen's ability.

"Ah?" Li Geng was stunned for a moment, seemingly unable to react. Why did Yu Liang suddenly look like he was facing a formidable enemy?

Is it because of what Li Huachao said just now?

Why doesn't it feel right?

As the last person to appear in the created universe, Li Geng had not yet intuitively felt Lu Baoshen's abilities. On the other side, the little fairy girl who had also awakened exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, quickly, switch back! I don't want to die!" An Buchen blurted out the words buried deep in his heart in desperation.

Li Geng came to his senses and quickly switched perspectives, but his switch was delayed by three seconds, so these three seconds were extremely long for Yu Liang and An Buchen.

Fortunately, nothing happened during this period.

"Is it necessary? If I say I don't believe it, I don't believe it. If I say no, I don't." Lu Baoshen could vaguely feel that Yu Liang and An Buchen's eagerness was related to him, but he was still very confident in his "little lucky star" physique. .

"It's best not." Yu Liang responded casually, feeling relieved deep in his heart.

After coming back to his senses, he felt that Li Huachao's guess was reasonable to some extent.

This week, he didn't do anything. At least he traveled around Flatland. Except for the two big cities where he had no chance to sneak in, he visited almost all the countryside. In this case, he didn't find any root cause. Clues to the strange story...

Then this guy is hiding a little too well.

The "clues" mentioned here do not only refer to the location of the source of the ghost story, but also refer to possible unnatural and anti-logical details.

The root ghost story has a counter-intuitive power. He just needs to stand there and it will naturally distort something.

These things can be items, creatures, or rules.

However, the entire Flat Country operates so naturally. At least in Yu Liang's eyes, there is nothing that violates logic. Even he himself feels that these natural settings are very reasonable.

If such a source of ghost talk really exists, then it cannot exist in Flatland.

There are three possibilities.

First, the source ghost story does not exist. There is no source ghost story in this pioneering book.

The second is that the root ghost story exists in the second layer or even a deeper layer. You need to find the "visual button" and activate it to find it.

The three natures are Li Huachao's guess, and the source of the strange story is the "painter".

He is a painter who can see Flatland from a "God's perspective".

From a strong point of view, Yu Liang himself is also inclined to the third possibility, but this possibility brings a hidden danger.

The painter may have noticed him, and he will definitely be interested in this "paper man" who can also observe the first layer from God's perspective.

If this is the case, can he still activate the seal [Dimension Man]?

Yu Liang could already imagine a similar scene. He unlocked the stamp bar, and then Li Geng activated [God's Perspective], so that he would return to the three-dimensional state.

Under normal circumstances, after switching to Li Geng, his stamp bar will not be shared with the past, but [Dimension Man] is different. It is a locking skill and acts directly on the body of "Yu Liang", so even if you switch Reaching Li Geng will still trigger the effect of [Dimension Man].

After returning to the three-dimensional state, he may have to come into direct contact with the "painter", and he has to come into contact...

It would be another space full of unknowns and strange stories about unknown origins. If he entered the three-dimensional state without being prepared, it would be tantamount to death.

So is there any way to know the artist outside the layer?

Yu Liang switched back to himself, leaning against the wall of the house next to him and starting to think.

The first way he could think of was to turn back.

After Li Geng turned on God's perspective, he looked back and looked directly at the source of ghost stories that may exist behind him, but Li Geng seemed unable to do this.

"Since my body exists in Flatland, my God's Eye is already the highest theoretical perspective." Li Geng replied helplessly.

He thought for a while and made an analogy: "If I had to say it, I would probably stand in the position of the 'God' of Flatland and look at the Flatland below, but who would have imagined..."

“There is someone behind God.”

"Okay." Yu Liang was a little helpless. This was the limitation of this ability. His body was in Flatland, so the Eye of God could only see things in Flatland.

However, Li Geng's words still inspired him, and Yu Liang had another bold idea in his mind.

[God's Eye] is a three-dimensional perspective, and [Dimensional Man] can be synchronized into a three-dimensional state. On this basis, you only need to switch back to the normal perspective first, and then use [God's Eye] again...

Then he will appear from the perspective of God in the space where the root ghost story is located, and directly observe the root ghost story!

Not only can he observe the source of the strange story, he can also see the situation in the entire space from a God's perspective!

That is the place where the source of ghost talk exists. It is not an exaggeration to call it a forbidden place of ghost talk, and it will be open to Yu Liang who has entered the perspective of God for the second time!

Even Yu Liang, who usually never seeks death, was quite moved at this moment.

With a mortal body, you can look directly at the source of ghost stories, and you can also peer into a space full of unknowns and mysteries.

According to the settings that often appear in the Cthulhu mythology, mortals will completely fall into madness after seeing the body of the ancient god, and their bodies will undergo corresponding changes, becoming the favored ones of the ancient god or other monsters, but now Yu Liang is not afraid of this kind of thing.

First of all, his spiritual level has been strengthened.

To put it simply, Yu Liang's spiritual imprint at this time is "wolf", which is the wolf totem given to her by "Zhi", so he will not fall into madness simply by looking directly at the source of the ghost story, nor will he change his body as a result.

Furthermore, there is "it" in him after all. Even if "it" is just the root monster in his childhood, it is not so easy to be taken down by other root monsters.

Unless this "painter" completely restrains "it" in terms of rules ability.

In short, I can write down the plan to explore the source of the strange space for now, and try it out after unlocking the stamp bar.

Before that, he still needed to think of a way to confirm what the "painter's" situation was.

Is there any way to take a brief look at the "painter" without causing conflict?

Yu Liang's brain was running rapidly, trying to find some effective methods.

After thinking about it, he turned around and glanced at Li San, who was still fussing in the group of graphics, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.

Color, yes, color!

In an instant, Yu Liang found an idea from what Aze invented.

Since you can apply color to graphics, can you also apply color to flat surfaces?

No, the efficiency of applying it in this way is too slow. It is better to pour it directly into the ocean and spread it in the ocean.

"Li Geng, do you still remember what color the ocean is?" Yu Liang asked slightly excitedly.

"Ocean?" Li Geng recalled.

"Of course it's black. Didn't you see it yourself?" Li Huachao asked first, "There was such a large area of ​​black on the west coast just now..."

"No, it's not black." Li Geng, who heard Li Huachao's words, no longer hesitated and made a judgment, "The sea water should be translucent, otherwise we wouldn't be able to see the shapes on the sea. If it's black... it should be under the ocean. background."

"Well, that should be it." Yu Liang said approvingly. Seeing that Li Geng's thoughts were consistent with his own, he was able to make a judgment.

The ocean is nearly colorless, so he can dye it.

As for what color to dye it...

Yu Liang thought of the southeastern region of Flatland that he had seen previously from God's perspective.

There was a mixture of colors there, some of which he remembered, such as silver.

If we could find silver-white paint and pour it into the sea, would it be possible to turn the sea into a mirror?

The normal sea will definitely not work, because it will rise and fall, and a large number of water waves will be diffusely reflected, making it impossible to form a mirror image, but the ocean in Flatland is different.

Since there is no distinction between "up and down" in the two-dimensional world, how can there be "up and down"?

So as long as a part of the area is dyed silvery white, the ocean can become something similar to a mirror.

Mirror sea?

This may or may not require a lot of paint.

Pigments will spread in seawater, and Yu Liang suspects that this ocean can be painted with "one click."

Have you ever played with drawing software?

After selecting the color with the paint bucket tool inside, click to close the shape. Can the entire inside of the shape be painted with color immediately?

If "visual buttons" exist, such functionality should exist as well.

Of course, this is not Yu Liang's random guess, he has another basis.

When he was looking at the figures in the city from high altitude, he noticed that none of the dyed figures were hollow.

The undyed graphics are composed of simple lines and are blank in the middle, while the dyed graphics are not hollow.

If several edges are red, then the interior of the figure is red; if the colors of the edges of the figure are different, then the color of the interior is the color of a certain edge.

Logically speaking, the internal color should be a mixture of the colors of each edge, but the actual situation is different. The internal color of the actual graphic is the color of a certain edge, exactly the same.

According to Yu Liang's guess, this is not random, but in accordance with the dyeing order.

Whichever side is dyed last, the color of that side is the color inside the graphic.

Does it sound a lot like what he just guessed?

The "paint bucket function" in drawing software is exactly like this, because every time you fill in color, it will be covered, so the color inside the graphic is the "paint bucket" color used in the last color filling!

In this case, it may not take too much paint to dye the entire ocean silvery white.

Even if it doesn't work, he can at least dye a large enough area silvery white, like a mirror.

Yu Liang, who has observed God's perspective, knows that light comes from the opposite direction of God's perspective.

To put it simply, the sky above Flatland is the source of light. In this case——

The light and mirror were adjusted to a suitable angle, so the sea of ​​mirrors he created could reflect the scene above Flatland.

At the same time, that is...

The scene behind God.

Just by entering God's perspective again, Yu Liang can see what is behind him!

Whether it is the so-called "painter" or not, and whether it has its roots in ghost stories, you can tell at a glance.

If so, he has recognized this existence in advance, which will have a certain reference for subsequent plans; if not, that would be even better.

This shows that there is no danger in that three-dimensional space for the time being, so he can enter the three-dimensional state, appear directly in the three-dimensional space, and explore this space.

At the same time, he also gained the ability to reduce the dimensionality of Flatland.

No matter how bad it is, he can still perform a second "God's Perspective" and observe everything in the three-dimensional space from a higher place.

The execution difficulty of this plan is very low. As long as the Mirror Sea is completed, he can make subsequent arrangements no matter what the result is, and there will always be no loss.

"So why are you asking this?" Li Huachao didn't understand anything. Li Geng said that the ocean is not black, and Yu Liang agreed, so what does this mean?

The ocean is not black?

meaning is……

Protect the environment well?

"You will know when the time comes." Yu Liang chuckled, "Next we have to find trouble with Aze. In fact, I didn't really want to deal with that guy at first."

"Aze? Is that guy also in this copy?" Li Huachao only found out about this now, and then he suddenly realized, "So that's how these colors came about, right? Was it invented by Aze?"

"Most likely," Yu Liang responded.

Although there is no direct evidence, due to his absolute trust in Aze, Yu Liang feels that this "color" is most likely Aze's creation.

"Trouble him, hehe." Li Huachao immediately started to laugh stupidly. For him, being able to cause trouble for Aze was a very happy thing.

As we all know, Li Huachao is the best at teasing people in the Creation Universe!

"Yeah, but we still have to be careful. That guy also opened the alienation profession. Now there are probably more than a dozen Azes together, and before we met the adventurer, there was only one person." Yu Liang let out a long sigh, Set off for a big city far away.

Lingcheng.

That was the city where he came, and he estimated that Aze was also there.

When he was just high in the sky, he noticed that there were far more colorful graphics in Ling City than in other cities.

This shows that Lingcheng is the birthplace of color, and it is most likely also Aze's hiding place.

Now that he has unlocked the alienation profession, it is naturally extremely easy to sneak into Ling City.

Next stop, Lingcheng.

Target, silvery white. (End of chapter)
