The author's diary of ghost stories

Standing in front of the familiar bathroom mirror for the third time, Yu Liang still didn't see his face.

Even though his brain had crashed like an overload, he was still thinking about the news from Aze.

Aze, who had never appeared before, appeared in the world just now, and the news from Aze once again broke Yu Liang's judgment of this copy.

This guy said that the dilapidated cruise ship was another timeline, and they met unexpectedly because of the leakage of the power of the barrel man's root.

Of course, there is a second possibility, that is, there are two "Yu Liangs" in one world.

Yu Liang knew that this must be the essential Yu Liang, the three-dimensional Yu Liang, not some other four-dimensional and two-dimensional Yu Liang, nor the Yu Liang in the mirror or the real Yu Liang.

What does it mean?

I haven't figured it out yet, but Aze's words must have his deep meaning, but this guy from Niu Mo didn't explain the matter clearly at all, but sent him back when he wasn't paying attention, causing him to still not understand what happened now, and can only continue to guess.

"..."

If there is a chance, I must torture this riddle man.

However, Aze's words also reminded him that some plans are invalid, such as the three-in-one copy provides an escape channel, such as using the snake-eating barrel man to limit the use of the barrel man's root, etc.

The priority of suppression in this ocean is too high. Even if the cruise ship is a copy and the Flatland in the cruise ship is another copy, he still can't use the chimeric copy to limit the power of the barrel man's root.

Whether it is the cruise ship or the computer in the cruise ship, these are things located on the ocean and are controlled by the barrel man's root.

If this Aze is the real Aze, and not the Aze designed by the barrel man's root to deceive him and lead him in the wrong direction, then what Aze said is very interesting.

The meaning of the other timeline is that both worlds are real, but they can be shuttled by falling into the water.

Judging from Aze's practice of forcing him to enter the water and teleport back, Aze should know (at least guess) how to travel back and forth between the two timelines.

The disappeared Aze, the Aze who inexplicably knew all my inner thoughts...

It sounds very similar to the setting of the barrel man's origin. Just like the previous experience, the barrel man's origin can arrange the appearance of each character according to his own ideas and habits, so that the whole plot is a reasonable state in a short time.

Is it the same for Aze now?

However, Aze said that he could use it as an anchor point to identify the truth, but Aze would not use him as an anchor point to identify the truth, because Aze is sure that he must be real, and the "Yu Liang" who inexplicably appeared in this timeline is not real?

I gradually understood everything.

There was a "ding" sound in Yu Liang's mind, like the sound of a Thunder download, and then he realized something.

Since the things arranged by the barrel man's origin in the false world are all things that "Yu Liang" himself thinks are reasonable in his subconscious, then following this line of thought, "Yu Liang" who appears in the real world should find more clues that fit the conjecture, instead of suddenly popping out an Aze and directly overturning his conjecture about the real and false worlds.

Aze's appearance is definitely something beyond the arrangement of the barrel man, and it is highly credible.

So what are the doubts about this guy?

He appeared in another timeline as soon as he entered the dungeon, and to a certain extent knew the plan made by Yu Liang in his mind...

Yu Liang suddenly thought of something, he quickly opened his glasses, found the alienated professional setting collection, and clicked on Aze's T1 actor list.

[Life is like a play] After obtaining the script, you can open up a parallel universe line with parallel development. The target exists in "Universe 1", the actor exists in "Universe 2" and performs role-playing, temporarily obtaining the ability of the corresponding target, and the parallel universes cannot affect each other.

Life is like a play, life is like a play!

It is this ability, this is the truth of the two timelines!

Aze used his alienated professional ability to open up another timeline. On the cruise ship just now, Aze was the second "Yu Liang"!

That is why Aze did not gather those personality clones around him, and that is why Aze said when he saw "Yu Liang"——

"Or should there be two Yu Liangs in this world?"

The reason why Aze was confused was also very simple, because his alienated occupation description said that parallel universes could not affect each other.

Two "Yu Liangs" who should not have met met met, which was why Aze was puzzled, but he still found the answer quickly, which was probably related to the ability of the barrel man's origin.

Secondly, the role played by Aze at that time was "Yu Liang", and he was not much dumber than Yu Liang, so he should be able to think of the plan that Yu Liang had thought of, and even have more efficient practical ability.

Thinking of this, Yu Liang suddenly understood why his ability was occupied when he appeared on the abandoned cruise ship...

It may have nothing to do with the barrel man's origin, but simply in that timeline, Aze was using the writer's alienated occupation ability, so he found that his ability was occupied, and when the two Yu Liangs appeared, Aze, the actor, automatically gave way to him, the real protagonist.

Is this the real reason why the ability was occupied?

And Aze soon figured out the reason why he drove him away. This bastard needed to use the writer's alienated professional ability again, so he had to send the real owner Yu Liang away.

In the time and space where Aze was, his approach should be considered on the verge of success and failure. He successfully forced the barrel man's root into the barrel and restricted the barrel man's root's activities and abilities.

However, Aze did not tell Yu Liang the method, which shows that he knew that this way was wrong. It could give the human side an advantage, but it would also be a dead end, just like what he encountered.

Perhaps it was a method that could trap the barrel man's root, and at the same time, it was also a method that turned the entire situation into a stagnant pool of water, but in the final analysis, it was useless.

In this timeline, Aze was able to suppress the barrel man's root, but he was equivalent to suppressing the barrel man's root with his own body, and gathering all the barrels around him for cleaning.

According to Aze's words, his cleaning speed might not be as fast as the barrel man's reproduction speed, so he was just stalling for time.

A human being is competing with the root ghost to see who can live longer. This is doomed to fail.

However, it seems that Aze did not do anything particularly wonderful. In fact, aren't the things he mentioned all what I thought of?

At this moment, Yu Liang had another doubt in his heart.

However, Aze's situation is much better than his. The root of the barrel man has been locked up. Even if it is only temporary, it is easier than being played around by him.

However, there is only dead silence in the timeline where Aze is. The gloomy sky and the entire cruise ship that seems to have become decadent overnight, as well as the empty state, all indicate that Aze almost sacrificed everything in that timeline to do this.

The entire Haicheng Alliance may have been sacrificed by this guy.

It's not that Aze is selfish. After all, everyone in the Haicheng Alliance has realized what kind of predicament they will encounter before entering the unsolvable copy. Maybe death is the most appropriate ending.

However, everyone died, and Aze still failed to save the world.

Undoubtedly, this is bad news again.

But then again, why can Aze use my account to force the barrel man's origin into a dead end, while I discovered the same plan but was forced into a dead end by the barrel man's origin?

Yu Liang would definitely not admit that there is a problem with his operation level. After all, Aze did not show any high-end operations. If there was, his reminder would not be to tell him not to do something, but to recommend him to do something.

After all, Aze may have part of his script in his hand, which he can see.

That is, there is a problem with the setting of the two timelines, they are not synchronized.

Yu Liang thought of the three days he wandered around after entering the dungeon, and realized what the barrel man's origin had done.

This guy postponed the main timeline of my existence?

At the same time, the consciousness of the barrel man's origin that appeared in the two timelines was common. When Aze executed the plan, he was hit, but in the main timeline belonging to the real Yu Liang that started running three days later, the barrel man's origin already knew what the writer might do, so he was ahead of the enemy everywhere.

In general, the timeline where Aze is located is in a stalemate. The barrel man origin is at a disadvantage, but he will win sooner or later. In the main timeline three days later, the writer is at an absolute disadvantage and has been frustrated.

Could it be that Aze has already had all the fun I should have had, and all the frustration is left for me to suffer?

This answer flashed through Yu Liang's mind like a thunderbolt. His intuition told him that this might be the most normal explanation, and it was also the biggest disadvantage of the barrel man origin.

The main universe line was delayed for three days, and it knew what the writer was going to do almost omnisciently and omnipotently, and gave it a blow in advance.

For example, the Moon Butler and his men were suddenly attacked under such circumstances, resulting in restrictions by the barrel man origin.

Yu Liang basically lost his temper for Aze's actions. He knew that Aze's starting point must be good, which was equivalent to "Yu Liang" having two chances to reverse the unsolvable copy. Unfortunately, the barrel man origin noticed this and deceived time.

I hope this is the truth. At least this guess can be used as a real anchor to distinguish everything that is happening in front of us.

Yu Liang couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This was the Nth time he had sorted out his thoughts in this dungeon. In the past dungeons, it didn't take long for him to finish thinking about the main line, but now he had to revise and change his mind repeatedly, which even made him a little tired.

"Hey, Yu Liang, why haven't you come out yet?" Li Huachao knocked on the door, then printed his big face on the frosted glass bathroom door, "Did you faint in there due to hypoglycemia?"

Yu Liang certainly didn't tolerate this, he took this opportunity to open the bathroom door, slammed it on Li Huachao's face with a "bang", then walked out of the bathroom, straightened his clothes: "Of course not, I was just thinking about something."

"Ah!" Li Huachao was hit on the nose by the bathroom door when he was caught off guard, and immediately covered his red nose and stepped back a few steps, muttering resentfully, "No, buddy, why didn't you make a sound when you came out?"

He glanced at Yu Liang from head to toe, and acted as if he suddenly realized something: "Oh, it's because you've lived on the sea for too long, you can't hold back your anger, right? There are actually sheep on the cruise ship, and it feels quite in line with the style of your medieval sailing ship."

"Shut up." Yu Liang rolled his eyes at this guy. This familiar mean look was indeed very Li Huachao. He looked at Li Huachao and asked, "You didn't say much about the ability of the barrel man's root in the previous meeting. How much do you know about the barrel man's root?"

Li Huachao was stunned for a moment, then blinked and said, "It's just as we said. The power of the barrel man's root comes from the ocean and the barrel man, including "control" and "reincarnation". It is not a particularly strong rule ability. It's just because their power base is too huge. As long as we go to the land to cut off the connection between the barrel man's root and the ocean and other barrel men, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with this barrel man's root."

When saying this, Li Huachao's tone was still relatively relaxed. According to his idea, someone had paved the way for them in the early stage of this copy. With so many people and so many root ghost stories pouring in, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with the barrel man's root.

And this kind of confidence and optimism also made Yu Liang silent. He really didn't understand why Li Huachao could say such ignorant words.

Is it because the barrel man's root really didn't put pressure on them?

So all the pressure from the source of the barrel man is on me alone?

Is it because Aze put too much pressure on you in another timeline, kid?

For a moment, Yu Liang felt that he couldn't swallow his anger in his heart, and the feeling of being targeted became stronger.

He looked at Li Huachao in front of him for a long time, and finally sighed and patted Li Huachao on the shoulder: "Don't blame you, go and have fun."

According to the latest information obtained from Aze, Li Huachao in front of him didn't seem so fake, but it was the barrel man An Buchen who was fake.

From the beginning of entering the dungeon, the barrel man An Buchen began to set the pace crazily, whether it was the timing of his appearance or the unknown, he used his miserable situation and dedication to gain his trust, but he was always able to set the pace and push him at the critical moment, making him fall into self-doubt.

Anyway, there is always a big problem between the people on the cruise ship and the barrel man An Buchen. Now Yu Liang is biased towards the people on the cruise ship.

If it is true as An Buchen said, they all went offline as soon as they entered the dungeon, then why didn't Aze synchronize with them?

The delayed timeline only applies to Yu Liang himself, and An Buchen and his friends were not delayed. If something really happened as soon as they entered the dungeon, Aze's timeline shouldn't be so smooth.

But then again, if the barrel man An Buchen is really just a product of some kind of [creation]...

Then what about the moon barrel man?

Is the housekeeper real or fake?

Does the barrel man Yu Liang really exist?
