The author's diary of ghost stories

In the huge computer room, countless precision machines are running silently. They are responsible for the normal operation of the entire city, and are also responsible for suppressing a certain evil existence.

To be precise, it is not "them", but "him".

Yu Liangshen.

Yu Liang still remembers that when the team leader came to pick him up, he once said that he would let the main brain plan the route, and now the soul Yu Liang directly told Yu Liang the secrets in this timeline.

Yu Liangshen is the main brain itself. He is not only the apparent controller of this city, but also the actual controller.

There are thirteen computer rooms in this sea city, scattered in various corners of the city. The clustered computers and hard disks in the computer rooms constitute his brain, and the wireless network covering the entire city constructs his extremely developed "nervous system". These mechanical components give him the ability to control as if he were using his arms and fingers, and can be detailed and specific to control the brightness of a street lamp in the city.

It can be said that the soul Yu Liang has become a very special creature. He has transformed himself into a huge and precise "city life form" to suppress the root of the barrel man.

Of course, some deeper secrets are unknown to normal humans and barrel people. They only know that they live in a city with a fairly perfect system.

The centralization of monarchy is terrifying, but a monarch without power is an existence that can reassure everyone. The humans and barrel people in this city believe in such a thing-

The person in charge of the city is the Yuanshen Yu Liang on the surface, but in fact it is the artificial intelligence mastermind that is responsible for the resource allocation and reward and punishment system of the entire city. The power top has only a few discretionary powers.

Residents are always keen and inclined to this option, because they firmly believe that leaving everything to artificial intelligence to judge can obtain the maximum fairness and integrity, but they don’t know that this so-called "artificial intelligence" is the monarch himself. The trust of the people inadvertently promotes absolute dictatorship, and also cultivates a special weird foundation to counter the influence of the barrel people's roots on the city.

The biggest disadvantage of the monarchy is that it cannot have a monarch who is always wise, and now, this city where barrel people and humans coexist has achieved this nearly perfect system.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with the monarchy of Yuanshen Yu Liang. To some extent, it is even better than some "fake artificial intelligence judgments" used to fool the people, because there is no monarch in any world who is more energetic and fair than Yuanshen Yu Liang.

It can even be said that it is incorrect to describe his invisible rule as "monarchy", because Yuanshen Yu Liang is more like "God" in terms of character image, which can be called "theocracy".

It is not the Pope and others who hold the power of God on behalf of God. Yuanshen Yu Liang is the "God" who controls the world. "God" personally issues orders and rules the city.

He has no position and no backstage. He will not interfere with his judgment because of other factors, nor will he perform various abstract operations because he needs to attack his political enemies or cater to the capital behind him.

This "God" has only one purpose since his birth, which is to suppress the root of the barrel man for a longer time.

When he first understood it, Yu Liang felt something was wrong, because this city did not seem to be too comfortable, right?

Apart from anything else, these eye-pollution advertisements alone are enough to show the clues of this era to some extent, right?

The exaggerated and stimulating advertising information was forced into the brain. Anyway, Yu Liang didn't think such a life could be considered comfortable.

For this point, the soul Yu Liang quickly gave an answer, and this was one of the reasons why he cultivated the foundation of strange stories.

In this timeline, there is no fairy An Buchen, and there is no Taoist temple that can absorb floating energy. Therefore, there is no "Sky City", only the "Pseudo Sky City" that is built as high as possible to weaken the influence of the ocean.

The foundation of the city is still above the ocean, so the spiritual erosion emitted by the root of the barrel man still exists, which will affect the barrel man and humans in this city for a long time and continuously, causing them to have special "beliefs" and trigger a series of strange stories.

And this is one of the reasons why the whole city still has a strange story unit. There are still a lot of tedious strange stories in the city, which need to be sent to deal with.

As long as the root strange stories still exist, strange stories will not stop, and there will always be people on the road to solving strange stories. The organization that produces such people in the real world is the strange story world, and the one who cultivates such people in this timeline is the soul Yu Liang.

Therefore, the development process of this timeline is still very clear. As the absolute leader, the soul Yu Liang used the existence of the consciousness Yu Liang to suppress the root of the barrel man, and then during this period of time, he conducted a deep analysis of the world rules and mastered the high-quality use methods of a large number of item synthesis and character synthesis to assist in the development of technology.

During the period when Yu Liang just had memories, he also had a strong interest in the rules of item synthesis, and made more practical items such as "ships", "furnaces", and "cannons", and also made bug props such as "repair tools".

Now, the soul Yu Liang has obviously walked a very long distance on this road, at least it is a journey that Yu Liang cannot understand at all at present. The entire black technology city is the manifestation of the development of these synthesis rules to the extreme.

"Faith is a very pure thing." Yu Liang, the soul on the screen, sipped his coffee with a look of enjoyment on his face, and this look also made Yu Liang sincerely curious.

What's this animatronic doing drinking coffee?

He looked like he was enjoying himself. Could it be that someone was giving his host a water-cooling massage service in the computer room of Yuanshen Yuliang at this moment?

"Patients who have been eroded by the roots of the Barrel Man are called 'Marine Syndrome' or 'Marine Psychosis'. They will develop strange stories in certain environments. The main characteristics are the fanatical belief in the roots of the Barrel Man and the collapse of their sanity. Just now The Kaitan troops that brought you here are specialized in dealing with these marine psychoses, and they are under the direct control of the 'mastermind'," Yu Liang, the Yuan Shen, introduced the source of the threat lurking in the city. Introducing the power he has in this timeline, "In the process of my research on the world rules, I gradually discovered a way to transform these humans and barrel people in the copy into 'pirated players'. They also have character columns. You can use characters synthesized by me."

"'Pirated players'?" Yu Liang's voice revealed a bit of surprise. He could understand what Yuan Shen Yu Liang meant. What this guy meant was to create a group of "players" who could use characters, but these people There is no ability to synthesize characters, only the ability to store characters and use characters.

"Well, they only have the permissions of some players. You can regard them as... the prototype of 'players'." Yuan Shen Yu Liang smiled. His tone was very calm, but Yu Liang still knew himself very well. So I can see a little bit of complacency in the micro-expressions on the screen.

However, Yu Liang soon had some doubts in his heart, because an electronic creature definitely does not need to show such obvious micro-expressions, not to mention that this guy has been a "god" in this city for decades. , logically speaking, these normal emotions must have been abandoned long ago.

So what is the purpose of Yuan Shen Yu Liang’s existence as a virtual anchor?

Wouldn't it be better to appear in the high-class appearance of Stardust like in the previous heart ventricles?

So the Yuan Shen Yu Liang attaches far more importance to the identity of "Yu Liang" than ordinary people imagine?

The imagination is correct. The emotional support that can maintain Yu Liang's obsession with fighting against the barrel people is probably his own sense of identity as "Yu Liang".

For example:

As Yu Liang, the most "special", "noble" and "pure" spirit in Yu Liang's community of destiny, how can I be the first to surrender to the roots of the barrel people?

Yu Liang teased himself in his own voice, but he was still very sure about this matter, because all Yu Liang were instilling the same concept into him——

For the victory of the main timeline.

No, Yuan Shen Yu Liang calls them the prototype of players?

"Prototype" means...

Shouldn't it be said that it is a replica of the player?

The words spoken by Yuan Shen Yu Liang just flashed through Yu Liang's mind, and he suddenly realized that something was wrong. He looked at the Yuan Shen on the screen in shock. The current Yuan Shen Yu Liang suddenly showed his face after seeing his surprise. With a satisfied expression, he also offered a more detailed setting: "Judging from the passage of this timeline, the emergence of 'official players' is not far away. It will probably be a few months later. The moment when eleven hundred years appeared.”

"Twentieth century? 2000? Isn't this year the year 2000?" Yu Liang was a little confused. He still remembered that the demolition notice he saw in the room said that the year 2000 was coming, and it had been several months. of 2000.

"Well, the demolition notice only mentioned the year, but it did not reveal the actual operation of this timeline." Yuan Shen Yu Liang nodded and said, "You should have seen something on the computer on the cruise ship. The timeline that the cruise ship experienced was reversed, from the birth of the future to the end of the past, and this timeline is also under my control. Our calendar moves forward normally, but the years gradually shrink. It’s like a countdown.”

"The end of the countdown is December 31, 2000? After that day, it will be January 1, 1999?" Yu Liang understood what Yu Liang meant, "On that day, your Research will turn so-called "prototype players" into "official players"?

"That's right." Yuan Shen Yu Liang said, "All my preparations are for that day, but this timeline cannot go beyond that day. Once we go to 1999, everything will be meaningless, but in my guess, time The line cannot enter 1999."

He narrowed his eyes: "Anyway, you don't have much time, kid."

Yu Liang didn't care what Yuan Shen Yu Liang called him. What surprised him was another thing. From Yuan Shen Yu Liang's layout, he really realized what the other party wanted to do.

The meaning of "twenty-first century" should be more clear and should be called "twenty-first century", and this title is closely linked to another thing.

The twenty-first season of ghost stories.

"You want to use this method to create..." Yu Liang understood Yu Liang's plan, but Yu Liang, the Yuan Shen on the screen, put his index finger in front of his lips and made a "silence" gesture. .

"Shhh - it won't work if you say it." (End of chapter)
