The author's diary of ghost stories

Yu Liang watched as the character "Chi" condensed in his other hand. Every part of that body was exactly the same as his, at least the parts exposed outside the clothes were exactly the same.

Not only the physical appearance, but also some detailed movements and facial micro-expressions are exactly the same, giving Yu Liang's body the illusion of looking in a mirror.

At the same time, the tattoos brought by the toad-shaped god were also stripped and taken away by "it", so the current Yu Liang is a pure version, completely untainted by any other source of ghost stories.

He opened the page and looked at it. His page was no longer displayed, just like it was before he entered the zoo instance.

The page that should have appeared in his field of vision instantly in response to his thoughts had completely disappeared, and Yu Liang could vaguely feel that something was slowly waking up in his mind.

The scene in front of him suddenly changed. When he came back to his senses, Yu Liang had already appeared in the back room.

This is Cyber ​​City, the core area of ​​the back room ghost story. According to the white humanoid, this is where the villagers are located.

Is this where the formal talks take place?

He was about to face two people who had completed their awakening. Yu Liang said that it would be impossible not to be nervous.

Although under the guidance of An Buchen, he knew that the white humanoid could prevent the villagers from harming them at critical moments, and both of them continued to sleep, but he now existed in the form of an inner demon.

Who would be a good person who would turn himself into a demon?

Even if such an existence is in line with common sense and can make the causal relationship smoother, the inner demon...

He sounded like he was about to be eliminated.

Yu Liang looked around him. The back room he was looking at was not the familiar one. The entire area was extremely dark, with only the fast-flowing purple and blue lines on the walls around him providing some light.

He was very sure that his body was still in the City of Forgetfulness, and the scene cards in his universe were also there. Now it was impossible for him to enter the Cyber ​​City in person.

In this case, the current back room can actually be regarded as my atrium?

Just when Yu Liang stopped in place without moving, a group of familiar figures appeared in front of him. His body was covered with a vague white gauze that seemed to have been there forever. He stood there quietly, as if he had been waiting for a long time. .

"I'm here." Yu Liang nodded slightly, his face still calm.

"Okay, please come with me." The white humanoid said, "The soul is inside, but he has not fully awakened yet. We need to make some preparations to deal with it."

"What is the situation now, I need some more clear information." Yu Liang was not sure whether his behavior had changed the white humanoid, so he did not dare to speak nonsense.

The causal relationship between the Consciousness Soul and him is fragile, and he needs to understand the situation before taking action.

According to what the white humanoid and the adventurer said before, wherever the Cyber ​​City is, the Yuanshen Consciousness will exist.

Cyber ​​City exists in Yu Liang's universe, and Yuan Shen and Consciousness God have become his things.

It seems that from that time on, the Yuan Shen Consciousness has determined its ownership rights, so now when the universe appears on "Zhi", Yu Liang still has the white human form of them.

"We are the soul and consciousness of this body, and we are also your soul and consciousness." The white humanoid laid the foundation for the current conversation in one sentence, "Our appearance has been bound to 'Yu Liang' Together, it’s about your current awareness, which is an unchangeable fact.”

"Well, in that case, where were you born? Were you born among Xu Ming's strange stories, or were you born from me?" Yu Liang asked, this question was very important to him.

Being born from Kaidan means that the origin of the white human form is still in the unknown space of Kaidan, and being born from him means that their past causes have been modified and placed in the person of "Yu Liang".

This statement may be a bit hard to pronounce, but it is already commonplace in strange stories about cause and effect being reversed.

Born from strange stories, the best they can do is stand as a tripartite in the sea of ​​consciousness of "Yu Liang". The local Yu Liang checks and balances each other with the Yuanshen consciousness in the form of "inner demons".

Born from his main consciousness, it means that Yu Liang can more easily maintain the integrity of his own self. This body is still dominated by him, and he can control the power of Yuanshen and Consciousness.

"The 'Yu Liang' who was born from this body, to be precise, was born from the three-dimensional part." The white humanoid explained, "We have not yet completed the complete 'birth' process. If we want to harm you, the villagers and I will We will disappear here together. As for what we will bring to you, you will understand when you meet the villagers."

"Okay." Yu Liang nodded and felt relieved. It seemed that he no longer had to exist in the form of an "inner demon".

What the white humanoid said was also within his original expectations and guesses, because he has not yet completed the cause of creating the consciousness and soul in the "future". The current consciousness and soul are in his sea of ​​consciousness. This situation is only the effect.

After the causal chain is completed, the cause and effect can be reversed, but before it is completed, the relationship cannot be determined.

If they mess around and swallow up Yu Liang's consciousness here, they will erase the connection between themselves and Yu Liang, causing the causal chain to break.

They will no longer be involved with Yu Liang, and will go back to Cyber ​​City and enter eternal sleep until new players obtain Cyber ​​City and establish contact with them.

This is a difficult thing and the white figure should know how to choose.

Yu Liang followed the white figure and walked deep into the back room. Soon he followed a passage and entered a special room.

This room is very large, nearly two to three hundred square meters. It has a very special shape and is not a regular shape.

There are a lot of roads passing through here, some of them are wide enough to accommodate a car, and some are so narrow that even Yu Liang may not be able to fit in. Overall, this room seems to be connected in all directions.

In the center of the room, there was a fuzzy aggregate, with an indefinite shape, as if it was composed of countless shimmering stardust, and it was constantly pulsing.

The aggregate shrunk due to the tension, and at the same time, some things in the stardust-like body were expelled. What oozed out was blood, what fell were mechanical parts, and some shadowy fragments tilted down along with the dark lines, falling. to the ground

Then the polymerized object expands due to relaxation, absorbing the things just spit out back into the body.

This is……

heart?

Yu Liang's mind immediately thought of body parts similar to this room. The heart indeed beats and expands continuously like this ball of polymer, and is connected to a large number of blood vessels.

From the looks of it, he really was right. Is the back room really his heart?

But what are the things gathering in this heart?

Are the blood, mechanical parts, shadow fragments and lines hinting at the four substances that make up living things that he has seen before?

Or is it that he is a life form composed of these four substances at the same time?

Just as Yu Liang was observing the mass of polymer in front of him, a familiar voice came from behind him.

"He's coming out, be careful."

In a daze, Yu Liang thought he heard his own voice. When he quickly looked back, the blurry white human shape suddenly became clear, revealing a pure white "Yu Liang" face.

It seems to be carved from white jade, with a kind of delicacy that ordinary humans cannot possess.

At this point, Yu Liang was truly determined, and the white human form officially became his consciousness.

No wonder this guy was in a vague state before. This was all because his ownership had not yet been determined. It was only now that he walked into "Yu Liang"'s heart that he had the face of "Yu Liang".

"So the soul is also 'me'?" Yu Liang had some guesses in his mind.

"No, the primordial spirit is the primordial spirit, and the conscious spirit is the manifestation of personality and memory, which means I am you." Bai Yuliang explained, "But you are right, the primordial spirit is the more original version of us. .”

"You seem to have changed. You are no longer the same person as before." Yu Liang used a narrative tone because he could feel the difference between the white humanoid before and after.

"Of course, I was not you just now, and I am you now." Bai Yuliang stepped forward and observed the appearance of the polymer up close, "I didn't expect that our origin is actually such a ball of stuff."

"Indeed, after seeing you, I thought that Yuan Shen would also be Yu Liang." Yu Liang looked at the aggregation group in the center, and the aggregation group had begun to change.

The stardust gradually gathered into a face, with a nose and a face, but I just couldn't tell who it looked like.

However, when he carefully observed this face, Yu Liang suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart. He began to feel that this face should represent "Yu Liang".

"Yu Liang" should have looked like this. This was the starting point of everything.

"He" has a face with a high nose bridge and big eyes. He is extremely handsome and has a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, which makes his face look handsome and full of aggression.

With such a handsome face, life must be smooth sailing. Yu Liang felt that he was wrong from the beginning. He should not occupy the other person's body, but should let a more perfect version of himself appear in this world.

Everyone will love "him" more, which is a good thing for the world, and for himself...

Life would be more enjoyable, wouldn't it?

However, isn’t the soul a spiritual thing?

This "Yu Liang" face should have been fixed since he was born, a seven and a half face, not ugly but definitely not the kind of handsome that can be compared to celebrities.

Yes, since the face is fixed, what will happen if the soul comes?

How can it become a more perfect life?

Yu Liang's consciousness suddenly woke up from the fantasy just now. He looked at the face in front of him and felt that he was about to break down in a cold sweat.

There is no doubt that the feeling just now was a kind of mental induction, but it was not a forced mental distortion. At least Yu Liang could find the flaws in the induction through his own logic.

However, the induction just now did not even require the soul to take the initiative, it was just a face.

What if, what if I am persuaded by Yuanshen?

Yu Liang felt a kind of fear in his heart. He had already started to feel timid before he had any communication with Yuanshen.

He had never experienced this kind of timidity when he met Lao Du, Aze, or anyone like Qin Haijian, because he was convinced that he would always be stronger than them, as long as he had a long board that was longer than their short board. Then there is a chance of winning.

Now, he always feels that Yuanshen is a person who has abandoned distracting thoughts and all obstacles, and is a person who has evolved in all directions. How can he fight against this?

No, the subconscious mind of being "unable to resist" was also imposed on me by Yuan Shen. If I were the Conscious God, then I would be a collection of Yuan Shen's instructions, and the other party could easily interfere with me.

It’s okay if you can convince yourself with logic like you just did, but what if you fail to convince yourself in time?

Yu Liang frowned deeply, feeling a little incapable of playing.

"Why do you subconsciously view me as your enemy?"

Suddenly, Stardust Yuanshen said: "Is it because you think I will take everything away from you?"

Stardust smiled and continued: "But we are completely one, aren't we?"

Yu Liang opened his mouth. In his logical thinking, he believed that Yuan Shen and Consciousness were outsiders, things that "invaded" his sea of ​​consciousness, but when he thought about it carefully, he knew that this was not the case.

The consciousness and the soul are not foreign invaders, but things rooted in the spiritual world of "Yu Liang". This is the first priority setting.

"No, I'm not worried that you will take away my body. On the contrary, you are just my tool." Yu Liang cheered up and tried to take the initiative.

Stardust Tuan replied quite submissively: "Of course, I am just a tool. You can ask me for answers to all questions in life. Trust me, you will get the best choice with me."

"Okay, in that case, tell me what I should do now that I'm in the City of Forgetfulness?" Yu Liang continued to ask. He wanted to see how much this stardust ball actually weighed.

An Buchen said that the Yuan Shen is the innate spirit of human beings, and its choices are often the most spiritual.

However, the "villager" who came out now made Yu Liang feel a little strange. He did not seem to be a simple innate spirit. He seemed to have his own consciousness.

"What should we do? Do you mean the crisis of Forgotten City?" Stardust Tuan gave the answer almost without thinking, "Don't stop the restart, just make them think that you want to stop the restart. Your real The goal should be—"

He paused for a moment: "Becoming a raider yourself is the real way to achieve success once and for all."

Yu Liang fell silent. Under the influence of Qin Haijian, he still subconsciously regarded "preventing restart" as his first task. Now that he was awakened by the words of "Yuanshen", he suddenly realized that this would not work.

Reboots have likely gone on countless times, and this time's timeline has gone through many changes. It may be the one that is most likely to "prevent reboots," but it's still not enough.

Setting "becoming a Raider" as the goal can solve this problem more fundamentally.

This change of thinking is not difficult, but why do I keep resisting?

Because he subconsciously felt that it was easier to "prevent restarting", his casual and cautious personality drove him to ignore the path of "becoming a Raider".

No, it was his laziness and fear of death that blinded him from seeing this path.

Character is part of knowing God, and it is also the obstacle that prevents him from finding the real answer.

"You have deceived time and modified this timeline, so your soul - that is, 'I' - has been infinitely strengthened, which will prompt 'Yu Liang' to change his goals. What you want is no longer 'Prevent the restart' and instead become the attacker, this is the most important change in this restart." Yuan Shen Youyou said, he looked at Yu Liang and smiled.

"Under this most important change, this timeline has the possibility of avoiding a restart. The breakthrough of the winning rate from 0 to 1 is what I bring to you."

"Make a deal, let me out, I will settle everything, and then let you come out and enjoy the results."

"You said, I'm just a tool."

"I have the ability, you just have to sit back and enjoy the success."

"Don't you always do this?"

Someone reminded me yesterday that when the book is almost finished, I will delete all the character cards, and then list Yu Liang, Shadow Yu Liang, Four Dimensional Yu Liang, Consciousness God Yu Liang, Yuan Shen Yu Liang, and the version of Yu Liang in order. The prison mirror Yu Liang, the white bone version of Yu Liang and Yu Niang must be very interesting.
