The author's diary of ghost stories

It is not the moon hanging in the sky, but a barrel.

I don’t know when it started, but there has always been a barrel hanging in the sky.

At this moment, Yu Liang could not remember whether he had seen the pure moon in the past three nights, but now he was very clear that he had faced a terrible problem as soon as he entered the dungeon.

The moon steward also became a barrel man?

There is no news more chilling than this. Since the recruitment, the moon steward, who has always been the absolute main force, has been contaminated by the local root ghost talk in the dungeon, and has changed from a powerful fighter to a secondary boss. This undoubtedly further increases the difficulty of the dungeon.

Did the dungeon start to increase in strength at the initial stage?

Yu Liang retracted into the parasol and did not expose himself to the moonlight again. He knew that looking directly at the barrel man in the sky should not have any effect on him, but it is better to avoid direct contact with the moonlight for safety.

After using the ability of the moon steward, he absolutely believed that this guy had the power to wipe out the entire Haicheng Alliance.

He may not win in a head-on confrontation, but he who can go back infinitely cannot lose either.

No, the Moon Steward should have the power of never being wiped out, but there were many accidents when entering the dungeon.

The anchor point set by Xu Cixi allowed the Moon Steward to use the backtracking forcibly, but as a result, everyone was forced to disperse when entering the dungeon, and the influence of the ocean prevented Yu Liang from summoning the snake as the team's safety bolt.

Now that I think about it, it is very likely that the Moon Steward was affected at the beginning, causing the controllable backtracking to fail, and failed to pull the entire team back the moment he noticed something was wrong.

But the most important thing is that Yu Liang had no perception of all this. In his impression, he was just drifting on the sea for three days, but in reality...

Maybe he really doesn't know what year it is today.

He opened his personal page and looked at the dark scene in the stamp column, feeling a little helpless for a while.

Without the stamps [zuozu] and [cleansing], he had no way to contact the shadow "之", and was not sure what the situation was now.

Yu Liang, under the parasol, listened to the information brought back by the paper man and fell into thought.

According to the paper man, this barrel man version of An Buchen may have been in the dungeon for a long time. She obviously knows something, but due to the pollution of the root ghost story, she cannot see Yu Liang.

As for why she locked the paper man in the barrel, Yu Liang guessed that one possibility was that An Buchen could not control his mind after taking the medicine, and another possibility was that she did not want the paper man to pass the news to Yu Liang.

The answer to this question is temporarily unpredictable. Yu Liang arranged every word An Buchen said in the smart lens and analyzed every message An Buchen revealed during the period of mental collapse.

She asked the paper man, is Yu Liang still a barrel man now?

The second question is whose barrel Yu Liang is growing on now.

If what she said is correct, then at least it means that Yu Liang used to be a barrel man and grew on the barrels of other barrel men.

Yu Liang immediately thought of the symbiotic barrel of Xue Wubin and S1. If his head was bitten off by a barrel man, he would coexist with it and form a multi-headed bucket.

Secondly, An Buchen also said in the subsequent explanation that "Yu Liang" is a resource, a resource that can restore the bucket man's sanity and is not addictive.

"Yu Liang" will appear in the buckets of other characters in the universe. Once it appears, it must be captured and eaten quickly, otherwise it will lose its vitality.

This setting is obviously problematic. If "Yu Liang" appears in the bucket, how can the bucket man capture "Yu Liang"?

Open your own bucket, take "Yu Liang" out of the bucket and eat it?

Then she hopes that "Yu Liang" will appear in the bucket of the moon housekeeper at the beginning, so that time can be reversed to trace back all this, and "Yu Liang" will not have to die.

"Yu Liang" who appears in other buckets is destined to die, while "Yu Liang" who appears in the bucket of the moon housekeeper can enjoy backtracking, so he does not have to die...

Anyway, Yu Liang is not sure whether it is An Buchen's crazy talk in a half-crazy state or a true description. He just makes sure that he is not dead at this moment, or An Buchen's whole paragraph needs to be broken up and understood in another way.

Some mental patients actually have no major problems with their thinking, but their language logic may have problems. They will unconsciously use one word to replace another. The internal connection between them seems very clear to them, but this kind of fragmented thinking cannot be understood by ordinary people.

For example, "Such high-speed machinery enters China", the meaning to be expressed may be just "the car drives into the community". "High-speed machinery" refers to "vehicles", and "China" refers to "areas within China". According to the context analysis, it is likely to refer to the community.

Either the pollution of the strange story has eroded her brain, or she simply cannot say what she wants to express.

It is equivalent to the language function in the brain being tampered with, and the meaning she wants to express is not the same as the meaning heard by the paper man.

If this is the case, then what does "Yu Liang" in An Buchen's words refer to?

Is it something important that will appear in the barrel man's body?

But the paper man clearly saw a sleeping Yu Liang in the barrel, and then it turned into organs such as internal organs...

Where is the "Yu Liang" hidden by An Buchen?

The paper man was locked in a barrel, and An Buchen's intestines were cut open to take out the white gem fragments, which gave him a certain amount of energy, so he could open the portal and return to the raft.

Yu Liang had a headache. He found it difficult to analyze what important information was hidden in An Buchen's words.

Perhaps the "Yu Liang" that the paper man saw through the barrel man's hole at the beginning was covered by an illusion?

If it was an illusion...

He could think of something related to An Buchen.

Dao Mansion.

Yu Liang's eyes lit up, and he seemed to understand what An Buchen wanted to do!

She had always wanted to express one thing!

There is something very important in my barrel, take it away quickly, and never appear in front of me again!

An Buchen can control the illusions in the Dao Mansion. She leaked something to the paper man, but maybe there was a serious problem with her own brain, and what she revealed eventually became "Sleeping Yu Liang".

The internal organs that appeared later were the real scene inside the Dao Mansion, and the key thing was in the internal organs of the Dao Mansion.

At the beginning, An Buchen's head and eight limbs were all inside the wooden barrel, which fully met the conditions for setting up the Dao Mansion - a relatively closed space.

What did An Buchen do next?

She deliberately locked the paper man in her wooden barrel, and may have taken the initiative to leave some white gems for the paper man to use, wanting it to leave the barrel with the important thing.

As a result, the paper man did not fully understand her meaning. The frightened paper man who was frightened by the head close to his face only knew to absorb the white gem fragments and then quickly fled back to the raft.

Yu Liang sighed. He did not want to blame the paper man for anything. After all, An Buchen's communication with it seemed to have been translated by Google twenty times. If he had not known An Buchen to a certain extent, he would not know what An Buchen wanted to do.

Now it is basically certain that the dispersion after entering the copy allowed some people including An Buchen to enter the copy first, and he himself had two possibilities.

Either he didn't follow into the dungeon at all, but only officially entered the dungeon three days ago. During this period, the "Yu Liang" seen by An Buchen and others may be just a substitute or something else.

Or he followed into the dungeon, but encountered several backtrackings. Since he could not contact the "origin of the strange talk", he could not keep his own memory.

However, the possibility of the latter situation is slightly less than the former.

Backtracking will clear the memory. An Buchen obviously has memory, but she does not have the root of the strange talk, so she cannot keep the memory under normal circumstances.

Moreover, clearing memory is the ability of the Moon Butler, and the root of the strange talk in this dungeon should not have this ability. If He really controls the Moon Butler in all aspects, there will be no Yu Liang now.

If the Moon Butler wants to target Yu Liang, he can definitely control him to death, just like what was shown in the Moon Community, making Yu Liang repeatedly backtrack in the loss of memory.

"It's a bit difficult. If we want to contact An Buchen again, it will be dangerous. She looks like her 3 value is about to drop. If she sees me at this time, it's hard to say what will happen." Yu Liang murmured.

An Buchen may have regained her ability because she became a barrel man. Now she is at least a T1-level alien professional. It may be difficult to break into the cave to get what she prepared.

Yu Liang looked at the island not far away again. Now the raft has appeared nearly a hundred meters away from the island.

Paper man Xiaoyi did not do nothing when reporting the situation. It paddled firmly and persistently with the cardboard man, wanting to get away from the island.

It seems that the terrifying moment on the island scared it. Now it would rather run to the sea with Yu Liang and drift again than go to the island to face Yu Liang again.

"Stop first. How much energy do you have? Is it enough to open the portal twice? I suspect there is something very important in An Buchen's barrel, but you ran too fast and didn't bring it out." Yu Liang was a little helpless.

In fact, the paper man only needed to stay in the barrel for a while longer to find that An Buchen would not kill it, but unfortunately, the paper man did not think of this.

Of course, Yu Liang only thought of this when he was reviewing the situation. If he was trapped in the barrel, the first thing he would think of would probably be to return to a safe place first, and it would be best not to enter the barrel again.

"Wait?" The paper man opened his eyes wide, put down the paddle in his hand, raised a finger, and gave a clear answer, "ONE!"

"Well, it seems that we still need to go back to the island for a while, at least to let you get the power of the portal twice." Yu Liang stretched out his finger and tapped the paper man's head, "It's okay, as long as we go in once more, we will leave this island, and we won't see An Buchen again for at least a long time."

"West..." The paper man sighed, knowing that this was his inescapable fate, so he could only nod and agree.

He kicked the cardboard man who was still paddling stupidly, and said unhappily: "Gem, where are they?"

"Gem..." The cardboard man scratched his head, "There are a lot of monkeys, and the monkeys on the mountain can dig them."

"Okay, then let's go find those monkeys." Yu Liang didn't notice anything wrong, but the paper man looked at the cardboard man with some suspicion.

The monkeys on the mountain can dig?

In other words, you didn't dig the gems yourself, but actually stole them?

I didn't expect that you look like victims, but you are not good people!

Taking advantage of the night, Yu Liang and the two paper men approached the island again. Since there was only one anchor left, he was reluctant to use it here, so he chose to stay on the raft and let the cardboard man take Xiaoyi to steal the gems.

There is another chance to open the portal, and this task is not too difficult for Xiaoyi.

You just need to find the area where the gems are, rush in with a teleport, absorb energy desperately, and then transfer it to An Buchen's bucket, and finally bring the thing to the raft.

It sounds troublesome, but it is not difficult.

Yu Liang opened the parasol as big as possible, and then watched Xiaoyi and the cardboard man walk into the bushes together.

In fact, normally, this task is not difficult, but he overlooked one thing.

Paperman Xiaoyi's character is "cowardly" and "greedy". He has seen the "cowardly" side, but "greedy"...

About two and a half hours later, a portal opened in the air of the raft. First, a drifting bottle was thrown in, and then a series of white gems leaked onto Yu Liang's raft like water.

Yu Liang just picked up the drifting bottle on the ground, and then saw a group of paper tube people mixed in the white gems and appeared on the raft following the dimension door.

The dimension door closed, and Paperman Xiaoyi drilled out of the gem, while madly absorbing the power of the gems, and yelled at those fierce paper tube people: "Oh, it's all my fault!"

While absorbing energy, it also used [False Sense] to release virtual flames or physical kitchen knives and other attacks, trying to drive away the paper tube people.

However, the paper tube people fled and screamed wantonly during these attacks, like an alarm resounding through the sky, especially loud on the quiet island.

Yu Liang clearly saw that torches were lit up in some corners of the forest, as if something had awakened and was coming over following the alarm of the paper tube man.

"Go!" Yu Liang stepped forward and kicked the screaming paper tube man into the water, but he didn't expect that the paper tube man's strength was unexpectedly great, and he pulled him down the raft with his strength.

The sea water rushed over quickly, covering Yu Liang like a seal, binding his body and soul.

Time seemed to be suspended, and all thoughts were stagnant due to touching the sea water. When Yu Liang came to his senses, he had been pushed to the surface of the sea by the lifebuoy that appeared out of thin air.

Xiaoyi hurriedly pulled him onto the raft, and stood at the stern and continuously used [Moxuyou] to spray water to push the raft into the deep sea, and he was relieved until he was completely away from the island.

The first thing Yu Liang did after coming to his senses was to look at the drifting bottle brought back by Xiaoyi, the paper man. He saw a wooden boat and a piece of metal in the drifting bottle.

"Drop, bluish-white metal, shiny, face-centered cubic crystal, identified as 'lead', toxic heavy metal, it is recommended not to touch it directly." The intelligent analysis and identification in the glasses gave such an answer.

Yu Liang stared blankly at the bottle with some fresh blood on it. His brain seemed to restart and suddenly started to work. Almost instantly, he knew what the things in the bottle meant.

In this copy, all the additional abilities mastered by the players are restricted, whether it is the four columns or the alienated professional abilities, they will be greatly suppressed.

There is only one thing that cannot be changed, because it is a rule engraved into the program at the beginning of the copy creation.

Text synthesis.

What An Buchen prepared for him was nothing else, just the most urgent thing at the moment.

The ocean is dangerous. Only it can protect players entering the ocean to a certain extent, and the raft cannot do it. No matter how big the raft is, it cannot isolate Yu Liang from the sea water.

Yu Liang extracted the metal texture of "lead" and then combined the remaining part with the wooden boat in the drifting bottle.

A huge three-story sailing ship suddenly appeared on the sea, and the undulating sea water pushed Yu Liang's raft far away.

It floated quietly on the sea surface sprinkled with moonlight and sparkling waves, like an admission ticket to a new world.
