The author's diary of ghost stories

When he was on the airship, he sat by the window, observing the surrounding high-rise buildings with cold colors through the double-thick glass windows. Yu Liang tried his best to collect information from this timeline.

The glass on the building is almost the same blue-gray color, strictly regular like a Rubik's Cube building, and dotted with exaggerated billboards.

Judging from this building that seems to be produced on an assembly line, it is almost synonymous with rigid and cold urban buildings. There are almost no other colors mixed in it, and there is a feeling of suppressing desire.

However, those stimulating billboards that suddenly came into view poured the most intuitive four words "material desire" into the brain. Such a contrast will make people feel that the suppression of desire just now is just another degree of "inch-stop challenge". The overall style and layout of the city basically deviates from humanities and arts, leaving only a sense of disregarding the lives of residents.

Because the buildings here are extremely high, Yu Liang looked down before entering the airship. He did not refresh on the cruise ship, or it was not a cruise ship in his understanding.

The original cruise ship has been permanently fixed as a building, and has become an area similar to a comprehensive amusement attraction. The airship started to take off from here and entered the streets in the sky.

The original vehicles have been replaced by flying objects in the air, and each building has been built hundreds of meters in the air, so there are still streets, traffic lights, double solid lines and other things in the sky.

Of course, there are no sidewalks here, probably because there are no normal people who can fly.

Aircraft can be regarded as a constant stream on other streets, but on Yu Liang's route, the streets that don't look too prosperous are empty. The previous human captain has said that other aircraft on the route will be cleared by the intelligent main brain to adjust the route, probably using some information like "The mountain road ahead has collapsed, please change the route and drive along the safe road" to adjust the route.

Judging from the height of the building, the city here (if it is considered a city) can accommodate a very large population, but in fact he did not see too many people in these buildings.

Could it be that such high-rise buildings are built just to stay away from the ocean?

However, the foundation of such a high-rise building is in the ocean...

It can only be said that the technological level of this timeline is really outrageous.

From the simple observation so far, it is not difficult to conclude that the technological level of the entire timeline is frighteningly high. Yu Liang is very suspicious about when this timeline started to develop. The current situation is completely different from the situation in the main timeline.

Even if the time flow rate between different timelines is different, you can use one day of others as a year, but it is too late to develop to this point, right?

Looking back, the situation at the beginning of each timeline is basically the same. Whether it is Aze's version of Yu Liang or the storyline version of Yu Liang, they basically started from such an ocean, so the situation in the two timelines did not exceed Yu Liang's expectations.

But now there are some problems. Yu Liang estimated the time he had experienced after entering the dungeon. It was only a little more than two weeks (in his own memory). How exaggerated would the proportion of this time flow rate be to allow the Yuanshen Consciousness to develop the ocean into a cyber city?

This place is no less exciting than the cyber-themed dungeons he had experienced before. Yu Liang couldn't even imagine how many high-tech weapons were hidden in this dungeon. However, he still wanted to complain in his spare time. Do these two only know the development model of cyber style?

After ten minutes of flight, the airship stopped at the top of an unknown building. When the hatch opened, two teams of robots in black uniforms were already standing in a neat row. There was a red carpet in the middle of them, and at the end was an entrance with dazzling white light, which looked like the door to a new world.

"Mr. Yu or Ms. Yu, since Mr. Yu's physical condition is worrying, please come with us. We will take you to his residence." The captain stood beside Yu Liang and pointed the way to Yu Liang.

And now Yu Liang did not refuse to lead the way. He was indeed full of doubts. Perhaps after seeing Yu Liang in this world, he would know what happened.

From the actual situation, the more anxious person is not him, but the soul Yu Liang and the consciousness Yu Liang, because the Yu Liang in the main timeline is the purest Yu Liang in many time and space lines, and now he should have replaced the identity of "Yu Liang".

Since what greeted him was not guns or cold water, it means that the soul Yu Liang is on his side for the time being, and there is no need to worry about too many things.

Walking into the white light, following the white spiral staircase to the top floor of the building, the style here is relatively simple, the empty top floor has only white walls and white tables, and there are also several white aircraft parked.

The unique water drop shape is natural, and the whole body is full of respect for scientific and technological mechanics, so the appearance is particularly beautiful. It has captured Yu Liang's heart at the first encounter, making him have the urge to secretly put it in the inventory and bring it back to the main timeline.

However, the captain of the team has already walked to the elevator inside the building. After opening the elevator, he began to wait for Yu Liang. Yu Liang just temporarily gave up this intention and followed into the elevator.

The elevator quickly reached the target floor. After passing through a long white corridor, Yu Liang finally stood in front of the "Yu Liang" of this timeline.

There was only one machine in the whole room, a large enough machine, a bit like some kind of supercomputer, and a screen was installed on the top of this computer. The "Yu Liang" that Yu Liang wanted to find lived in this screen.

"Yu Liang" took a bite of the bread in front of him, drank a sip of milk in the glass, and then cast his eyes on Yu Liang outside the screen. He smiled and said, "You are finally here, Mr. Yu Liang."

At the same time, the captain who had just led the way understood the atmosphere on the scene, so he left this huge computer room by himself after a simple salute.

Yu Liang did not look at "Yu Liang" on the screen, but looked at the cameras around the computer room. He found a camera facing him and looked at it.

He knew that this was the eyes of this "Yu Liang".

Although he expected this, Yu Liang was still a little surprised when he really saw the current appearance of "Yu Liang".

Has this guy completely abandoned his physical body and turned into this kind of mechanical life?

"Well, it's been a while since we last met, have you made yourself look like this?" Yu Liang chuckled, found a chair with wheels in the computer room and sat on it, then slid all the way to the front of the screen.

This was a rare time for him to meet "Soul" Yu Liang. He had been wondering what kind of state they would meet in, but in the end he still didn't guess that their meeting would be like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.

To a certain extent, old friends who have known each other for a long time are not as familiar with each other as they are.

Well, they are not as frank as Soul Yu Liang.

"If the 'period of time' you mentioned refers to seventy-three years, then we really have to use the word 'only'." The "Yu Liang" on the screen teased Yu Liang, and then laughed, "I am the 'Yu Liang' of this timeline, and also the 'Yu Liang of the Yuanshen'."

"Where's the other one?" Yu Liang looked around the room, and didn't see another screen, so he asked casually, "In another room?"

"No, he's dead." The Yuanshen shook his head, "Don't worry, he died of old age, about twelve years ago, very peacefully, he had gotten everything he wanted, so the only thing left in his last words was a remembrance of the past."

"Die of old age?" Yu Liang's voice was a little doubtful, he looked at the Yuanshen Yu Liang, wondering if he had heard it wrong.

The consciousness Yu Liang would actually die of old age?

Isn't this thing a root ghost story level existence?

The soul Yu Liang nodded: "Well, old and dead, in this timeline, we are Yu Liang, we inherited everything from Yu Liang, including memory, personality, alienated profession, etc., and we will also inherit Yu Liang's lifespan."

"You are spoiling it for me, right?" Yu Liang interrupted this guy, "What about you? Why didn't you die with the consciousness?"

"Compared to me, he is more like you." The soul did not deny Yu Liang's statement, "It is appropriate for him to take over all the causes and consequences and end points that belong to you. As for me, I still need to maintain the operation of the entire world and suppress the root of the barrel man, so I will not die and cannot die, I will only continue in this state."

"Okay, I understand." Yu Liang responded. With the active explanation of the soul Yu Liang, he will know much more about the situation in this world.

These two Yu Liangs have indeed stayed in this timeline for a very long time. It took them decades to gradually develop from the ocean to the current civilization.

Even if this soul may have the data knowledge of Cyber ​​City, it is very difficult to develop to this point. After all, there is a destructive barrel man source in this timeline.

The barrel man source will never sit idly by and watch the soul consciousness develop like this. Under his influence, the barrel man and humans can still coexist peacefully, and gradually reclaim land to eliminate the influence of the ocean. This is a huge project.

"Looking at your situation, other timelines should not have experienced such a long time as ours." The soul can distinguish the basic situation from Yu Liang's state. He asked slowly, "Do you need me to briefly summarize the development process of this timeline?"

"Well, try to keep it simple." Yu Liang did not refuse. He also wanted to know how the soul consciousness suppressed the barrel man source.

"In this timeline, we only have two kinds of root ghost power, one is the one-on-one sleeping seal of the God of Knowledge, and the other is the fantasy rules of creating ghosts that I master." Yuanshen Yu Liang said, "The rule power mastered by 'Yu Liang' in each timeline is the same, and we must adapt to local conditions to find the best way to suppress the root of the barrel man."

Yu Liang listened quietly to the narration of the Yuanshen and recorded the key points.

"Through the one-on-one sleeping seal, I gradually discovered that the real resource we have is actually time." Yuanshen said, "The root of the barrel man needs to be reincarnated to return to normal when facing the seal, and this requires time."

He used the combination of pictures and text on the screen to briefly outline what happened during this period of time: "This is also the reason why the time flow rate in our timeline is abnormal. During the reincarnation of the barrel man's origin, time here is flowing normally, but it is not the case in your timeline. The barrel man's origin is to confirm the node of time. When He is asleep, the timeline does not flow. It looks like humans will be frozen in that second forever when they approach a black hole. For him, the sense of time passing is clearly visible, but for us who are watching this scene, your time and space are in a static state."

Yu Liang imagined such a scene. Although he didn't have a scientific brain to understand the principles, he still knew what happened.

But he also had a problem, because the consciousness had died twelve years ago. It stands to reason that there is no way to restrict the barrel man's origin, but he didn't ask, because he knew that the soul Yu Liang would definitely tell him this.

"Using the consciousness to force the barrel man to reincarnate infinitely, I have gained countless time. During this time, I set out to strengthen my own power, balance the number of barrel men and humans, and grow the technology tree to make it flourish." Yuanshen Yu Liang said, "This is also a barrel man copy. Here, the ocean synthesis law and the character synthesis law are taken into account. You should know what this means to me."

Yu Liang suddenly realized that he understood what the characteristics of this timeline are.

It's very simple. The characteristics are the characteristics of the barrel man copy and the world of ghost stories itself.

Item synthesis and character synthesis are the roots of Yuanshen Yu Liang's development of technology and technology jump. He relies on these two laws more than his own rule power.

As early as the beginning of the copy, Yu Liang did study the in-depth use of character synthesis and item synthesis, but after a burst of plot development, he formed a separation from it. What he got by climbing the technology tree is not worth mentioning in front of the barrel man's roots.

The original clearance method of the barrel man copy must rely on these rules, but Yu Liang does not have so much time to explore these rules. There are always more important things happening to him.

Now, the soul has this time. He said at the beginning that the real resource in this timeline is actually "time".

The timeline of the soul consciousness is the culmination of the two paths of mining item synthesis and character synthesis.

"Of course, the development of science and technology is also inseparable from various theories. This is thanks to the five-three simulation and high-level math questions you prepared for me. It is an enlightenment movement for your math idiot brain. Otherwise, it would be difficult for me to plant a forest on a barren land." The soul Yu Liang poked Yu Liang with plain words, "Land reclamation, barrel man genetic modification, barrel man inhibitors and various projects and experiments have been successful one after another. The root of the barrel man itself is a special resource, a resource that will be completely reincarnated and awakened every once in a while. Now, to be honest, the power of the consciousness Yu Liang is no longer needed."

"So, I can trust you now." Yu Liang interrupted the words of the soul. He wanted to confirm whether the soul was really on his side.

"Heh, the only contradiction between you and me is that I want to be 'Yu Liang'. Now I have done it, and I have been 'Yu Liang' for 73 years. Do you think there is any difference between me and 'Yu Liang'?" The tone of the soul Yu Liang was filled with an inexplicable sense of twilight, as if he was looking back at his childhood at the end of his life.

Okay.

Yu Liang shrugged and believed the words of the soul Yu Liang. Indeed, this guy had already got what he wanted, and there was nothing to do.

I'm afraid this is the core of the deal between the barrel man Yu Liang and him?

He looked up at the soul Yu Liang on the screen, and couldn't help complaining when he was in a good mood.

You are the most beautiful Yu Liang I have ever seen.

There are stars in your eyes.
