Chapter 657 The Key Object—Zeno’s Tortoise

Bucket Man Yu Liang wants to use himself as the origin of Bucket Man's roots, replace the Bucket Man's roots, and fundamentally complete this dungeon?

At this moment, such a crazy idea emerged in Yu Liang's mind.

No, it’s actually my future self that’s crazy.

The way to defeat a super villain is not necessarily to defeat him head-on. You can also directly become him. This is an easier and more permanent method. The only thing you need to pay attention to is to avoid the occurrence of "the dragon slayer eventually becomes the evil dragon".

Of course, given the existence of Yu Liang Snake, this possibility is still relatively small. At least "Yu Liang" is not nearly as unsolvable as the origin of the barrel man.

However, a short period of thinking only allowed Yu Liang to roughly understand part of Yu Liang's plan about the barrel man. He still didn't understand what this guy had done.

Now he can indeed influence Yu Liang in the future, but where is this barrel man Yu Liang?

Logically speaking, he should be getting closer to Yu Liang, the barrel man, right?

As they get closer and closer, the connection between the two will gradually strengthen, and then the barrel man Yu Liang may be found out by the root of the barrel man.

To give a simple example, the current situation is the seal [The Man Who Cheats Time]. The bucket man Yu Liang in the future node has been fixed, and at this moment Yu Liang is approaching that bucket man Yu Liang every moment.

As time goes by, his connection with Yu Liang, the barrel man, will become closer and closer, but at the same time, it will become more and more dangerous, because he has no idea what he will become at that point in the future.

Once the timelines overlap and he does not overlap with Yu Liang, the barrel man...

That might be a big problem.

His presence would cover the barrel man Yu Liang, which was equivalent to killing him, and since he did not fully accept the plan from the barrel man Yu Liang, the entire situation was destroyed by him.

He couldn't bear this kind of responsibility, after all, he might just be a bastard.

Hiding into the future is a strange move, but also a dangerous move.

Yu Liang shook his head secretly in his heart. He could feel that he was under a little more pressure now. He thought that Yu Liang, the barrel man, created him just to constantly test the dungeon, but he didn't know that the entire dungeon was inexplicably connected to him. , I was really flattered.

"Okay, you're right." First Mate 002 gave up taking off the birdcage and turned to look at Yu Liang, "Mr. Yu, do you want me to show you the entire cruise ship? I can also help you. You arrange a more suitable tour guide.”

"No, I still need to find my people, so I won't bother the first mate." Yu Liang naturally heard the first mate's rushing attitude, so he left the office without stopping any longer.

At the same time, Li Xiang also left here after saying goodbye to Yu Liang to go to his new job. As a second-level crew member, he still has a certain status on the ship. In short, there are not many things that he needs to do every day. .

Yu Liang quietly gave instructions to the little paper man, telling him to be smarter and keep up with Li Xiang, the crew member in front, and to use the portal to come back and report the situation in case of danger.

The two little paper figures kept nodding, and then started a discussion with Yu Liang on the issue of remuneration.

The method used by the Scrooge to control these paper people is good, but it will encourage the paper people's philistine character and they like to bargain for everything.

But when he thought that the money the paper people wanted was just virtual currency created by the money-grubbers, Yu Liang had no objection.

Anyway, there are as many of these things as you want. Just move your fingers and you can make the little paper people actively complete the task with full emotions. Why not?

Yu Liang walked out of the office and followed Li Huachao to the rest area on the cruise ship. Just like the treatment plan just given by the captain's artificial intelligence, the food, clothing, housing and transportation that Yu Liang enjoyed were absolutely of the highest quality.

Soon, after receiving his room card and ten crew room cards, Yu Liang took the elevator to the upper level of the cruise ship. The view here was so good that he almost had the entire corridor to himself.

The decoration of his own room is relatively simple, but it has basically everything in the modern style. It looks completely different from the captain's cabin on the original two-masted sailboat.

The room was about 80 square meters, with two bedrooms, one living room and one bathroom. Li Huachao couldn't help but admire some of the exquisite layout. He touched the edge of the low-key and luxurious fish tank and looked like he had never seen the world: "Second deputy level. There is actually a bathtub in the room. What a miserable life I lived before, that beast Lu Baoshen. If it hadn’t been for him, I wouldn’t have slept in the utility room at the bottom of the room every day.”

Yu Liang looked at the small room inside and said, "If you like it, it's okay to sleep in that room. Now go and inquire about Lu Baoshen and An Buchen and ask them to come and see me now."

"Okay." Li Huachao responded quickly. He took the crew ID from Yu Liang's hand and ran out to find someone. Not only Lu Baoshen and An Buchen, but also the founding chairman and the others were all coming together. After all, now the sea The backbone of the City Alliance has returned.

After registering as a member of the cruise ship, his identity was recognized by the cruise ship, and most of his restrictions were lifted. All three columns and alienated professional skills were unblocked, so he released all the small monster creatures with conventional combat capabilities. Come out and use it to help you alert yourself to the surrounding environment.

The cruise ship seems to be very safe, but there will still be some strange incidents. To be on the safe side, it is better to use strange creatures to prevent them.

If the strange incidents he had experienced were to be repeated here, then the last thing he wanted to encounter was naturally the back room.

Although he had not directly experienced the ghost stories in the back room in the past, considering the closed nature of the back room, this was a very troublesome type of ghost story.

In the following time, Yu Liang ate some dry food and chatted with the summoned Li Huaniang for a while. There was an obvious memory gap between her and Li Huachao, probably because of the differences in Li Huachao's experiences with him.

Of course, this kind of memory gap can only bring her amusement. When she learned about the story of the sea clam girl, she was already thinking about how to use this incident to tease Li Huachao.

About ten minutes later, Li Huachao brought almost everyone to Yu Liang's room, and many people were crowded into the small living room.

Needless to say, magicians, beekeepers, programmers and coaches are a group of players who entered the cruise ship very early. In the past few days when the sea clam girl was absent, Xu Cixi also found the cruise ship and now also appears. at here.

Next are the adventurers and some creative characters, such as Lu Baoshen, Li Geng, Zhong Chen and Yan Hu. However, An Buchen and the lawyer did not appear.

"You're finally here." The adventurer looked at the intact Yu Liang and couldn't help but feel relieved, "I thought you were too unlucky and had been eaten by the barrel man."

On the other side, Lu Baoshen was being oppressed by Li Huachao's fists. He was crying for his brother to come out to save him. To no avail, he quickly hid behind Li Huaniang and asked for help.

Naturally, Li Huaniang stopped Li Huachao, sniffed him, and then pinched her nose: "Hey, you smell like the sea. What have you been doing during this time?"

"Get out of here, I must clean up this little thing." Li Huachao did not respond to Li Huaniang's taunt, she just wanted revenge.

On the other side, Xu Cixi paid attention to some of Yu Liang's status, and the other founding chairs were relieved together. During this period of time, the Haicheng Alliance on the cruise ship was mainly collecting information and conducting investigations. Now that they saw Yu It's natural to feel relieved that Liang is safe and sound.

After a few words of greetings, Yu Liang asked about the situation of An Buchen and Aze in the crowd. The answer he got was that Aze had not shown up yet. They all thought that Aze should be with him. As for An Buchen, If it's dust...

Ever since Li Huachao turned into a sea clam girl, An Buchen had gone into seclusion. He didn't know what he was doing. Even Lu Baoshen, who was most familiar with him, couldn't explain the reason. He just vaguely knew that An Buchen was there. Engaging in scientific research may be to target barrel people.

During Yu Liang's absence, the cruise ship had actually been invaded by barrel men. Some of the people on board at that time were some of the founders and Li Huachao Lu Baoshen. They experienced a battle when passing the dock, but fortunately the cruise ship The security personnel are experienced in many battles, but the number of barrel men is not very large, so they can be handled with ease.

As long as the barrel man doesn't directly bite off the head and assimilate it, this kind of thing is actually not that scary.

When resisting the invasion, the founders purposely searched for traces of Xue Wubin among the barrel men, but failed. There were too many barrel men hidden on the shore, and there were even guys with extremely terrifying auras among them. Even a magician doesn't dare to jump around at will.

His abilities will be greatly restricted at sea and can only be used on cruise ships and on shore. Once the cruise ship leaves the dock, he will most likely be thrown on the shore. Even he is likely to be attacked by that number of barrel men. Die there.

"Is An Buchen in retreat? Okay." After hearing the news, Yu Liang had a slight thought in his mind. He looked at the familiar people and the familiar fighting atmosphere in front of him, but he didn't feel any sense of security in his heart. What replaced it was a deeper sense of crisis.

Obviously everyone is normal, obviously these created characters are in my own universe and can be released and taken out at will. I am very sure that they are all real, but why is there a faint feeling of alienation?

No, they don't feel that way about me, only I feel about them.

Could it be that the problem is with me?

I'm not a real Yuliang, so I can't completely own myself?

Or maybe it’s something I also created, so I don’t have a sense of belonging to these other created characters who are clones of “Yu Liang”?

Yu Liang couldn't tell. He just felt as if someone was cutting his flesh with a dull knife, or scratching on the wooden board with sharp nails, making a harsh and uncomfortable noise, which was very uncomfortable.

"Now that you are here, we can try some of the plans we had put aside before." The coach naturally took charge of the overall situation. He introduced to Yu Liang, "We are going to clear out the barrel man when we pass by the dock at a certain time. It is best to It is to be able to occupy a place on the shore. The ocean has a restrictive effect on us, which we cannot completely get rid of even if we are on a cruise ship. We must take back the land!”

"Yes, we have made some preparations for this battle." The beekeeper nodded, "Barrel Man has weaknesses in his roots. This copy is too huge, and he almost only has strong control over the ocean. power, so he stationed himself on the land after instructing the barrel man to occupy it. This way he can control as much area as possible, but it is also his weakness. "

"You mean it is too far away from the ocean, so it will be weakened if it is farther away?" Yu Liang understood the beekeeper's meaning.

"Yes." The beekeeper nodded, "We should be able to take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate the barrel man's living force as much as possible. It would be best if we can hold on to the dock. If not, we can escape back to the cruise ship to protect ourselves."

"Can't the power of the barrel man's origin invade here?" Yu Liang listened to what they meant. It seemed that the strategic value of this cruise ship was very high, like a mobile safe zone.

"In our exploration during this period of time, this is indeed the case." The coach continued, "Although it is not clear when it was done, and it is not clear who did it, this cruise ship is not essentially a product of the barrel man's copy. It is already a copy, a special movable copy. If the barrel man's origin wants to affect him, it must use the barrel man to invade this copy to do it."

The coach's face showed some relief: "From the tone of the captain and the first mate, the barrel man's origin has not broken through the cruise ship's defense for a long time in the past, and they have also accepted a large number of players or people from the city of oblivion who accidentally fell into the barrel man's copy."

Is that so?

This cruise ship is already a copy?

No wonder the cruise ship and the ocean are almost two different game experiences. It turns out that they are indeed two different games in essence.

As for who did all this, it should be stated in advance that Yu Liang is not bragging. He really thinks it is very likely to be himself.

Through some unknown means, he used the trigger theory to complete the cruise ship copy, because everything on the cruise ship gave him a feeling of both strangeness and familiarity.

Whether it is these familiar people or those familiar strange worlds, these details are enough to make him believe that the cruise ship copy was designed by himself.

However, from the current point of view, he has not been able to fully accept this cruise ship.

On the one hand, it is because he has not completed the trigger theory conditions of the cruise ship, and on the other hand, there are still two "exempt review opportunities" in the personal page.

In order to create such a cruise ship copy, Yu Liang must consume the opportunity of exempt review, otherwise he may die several times when the copy is opened after the review.

And strictly speaking, he cannot enter his own copy, he will be kicked out directly.

It's good like now. Everyone is on the cruise ship. Once he completes the inheritance of the copy, he can secretly operate them to complete the root ghost story and return to reality.

In any case, having a way out gives you confidence, and you can fight more freely.

Moreover, there are computers on the ship. I don't know about other places, but there must be one in the captain's room.

In this way, maybe the nesting dolls of the triple copy can be completed. The barrel man's root can invade the cruise ship copy to exert influence. This is because the cruise ship is on the sea, but the computer is in the cruise ship. When the plane country returns, I am afraid that the barrel man's root will find it difficult to find the location of this copy.

The only thing to worry about is how to deal with the relationship between himself and the barrel man Yu Liang?

Time waits for no one, he really doesn't want to ruin Teacher Yu.

Yu Liang looked at the people in front of him and suddenly had an idea if he linked these people with the barrel man Yu Liang.

Indeed, he was constantly approaching the barrel man Yu Liang and constantly bringing danger to the barrel man Yu Liang, so the barrel man Yu Liang should also be able to think of this.

In order to ensure his own safety, to always stay in the "future" separated from the present and avoid the source of the barrel man, what will he do?

Backtrack.

Let time reverse before the two Yu Liangs overlap, he will never become the barrel man Yu Liang, time is catching up, but it is like Zeno's turtle that cannot be touched.

The cruise ship copy is missing this link, it does not have the power of time and space, and such a key thing...

The barrel man Yu Liang has been delivered.
