The Author's Diary of Ghost Stories

Chapter 199 You Are Here Again

"The moon is eating the moon."

"Kowtow, brothers, kowtow will give Him strength!"

These key words were swirling in Yu Liang's mind.

According to the residents who were observing the sky just now, they saw the moon eating the moon, and then the time went back a few minutes.

It is only possible that "doubt" has eaten "faith", otherwise "faith" does not have the need to restart time.

Then it is obvious that in the early stages of the outbreak of ghost stories, doubt must be stronger than faith, and faith can only draw strength from human beings, and can barely protect itself by going back in time.

And now there are only a few minutes before "doubt" swallows "faith". Such a short time is probably not enough for him to run out of this community.

So we really want him to help "Faith" fight against "Doubt"?

Are you kidding me?

Yu Liang's scalp felt numb.

He resisted such a thing with all his heart, but at the same time he felt that his guess was probably right.

Otherwise, the difficulty of this player game is obviously not enough. After all, the monsters encountered along the way are either not interested in him or cannot catch up with him at all.

So are all these root ghost stories so weak?

Do you need help from outsiders to escape successfully?

Yu Liang thought of the "Zhi" who had previously resided in the role-playing game, and then looked at the moon now, and suddenly felt like an old mother taking care of the new kid.

He complained in his mind, and at the same time quickly crawled out from under the bed. He was going to try it as fast as possible.

It would be great if we could directly use speed to escape from this copy.

He still remembered the settings in the player game. The character slot, inventory slot, and stamp slot were all locked, and only professional abilities could still be enabled.

In other words, things that can significantly increase speed, such as the "Chi" character and the seal [Cat-faced Old Lady], cannot be used. The only things that can be relied on are the weird creatures in the universe.

He opened the universe and quickly scanned these strange creatures with his eyes, searching for anything that might be related to "increasing speed".

But no.

At least no one's panel skills can speed him up.

The one hundred grass babies are also in a state that has not been watered by demon blood, so they do not have any additional skills.

At the same time, Yu Liang also walked to the window sill, then lowered his head, opened the curtains, and opened the window.

Under Li Huachao's daily training, his physique has definitely improved a lot compared to before. At least now he is no longer out of breath from simple exercise, and his attributes in all aspects have also been significantly improved.

Yu Liang stuck his head out of the window and looked down. There was only a water pipe going down from here, and there was a small balcony outside the window of the living room next door.

The layout of each floor is the same, which means there is such a small balcony on each floor.

If it was Li Huachao, he would obviously have slipped down directly from the water pipe, but Yu Liang did not dare to do this. He was more worried that the water pipe could not bear the weight of an adult man and let him fall.

He has to experience about seven minutes here each time, and then "Faith" will let the time go back, which means he has to live for at least seven minutes.

If he died unexpectedly within these seven minutes, he would most likely not be able to participate in time retrieval and would die completely.

So Yu Liang first warned the weird creatures in the universe not to look up at the moon, especially the little paper people, and then he climbed over the window and jumped to the balcony downstairs next door.

The moment he landed on the ground, he also stretched out his hand, and the paper figures spread out in a series starting from his hand, and ended up hanging on the railing of the balcony.

With the paper people pulling and stabilizing his figure, Yu Liang's landing was also very stable.

This method also worked for the next few floors. Yu Liang quickly jumped down from the seventh floor one by one and landed on the lawn next to the apartment building. He put away the paper people and summoned Zaizi.

As a T3 level flesh and blood creature, Yu Liang felt that the kid could run faster than he could carry him on his back, and he wouldn't be tired at all, so he decided to give it a try.

Soon, a strange scene appeared in this community. A woman in red with disheveled hair was running quickly through the community with a man on her back. Along the way, she nimbly avoided various attacking and disturbing monsters and ran towards the east.

About three or four minutes later, Yu Liang had already seen the eastern boundary of the community, which was already devastated and littered with corpses.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Yu Liang couldn't help but feel vigilant, and controlled the boy to slowly walk through the side door of the community on the east side.

He had seen a yellow warning line outside the community, but there was no one there, there was only this warning line.

To Yu Liang's expectation, he easily crossed the door and appeared outside the community.

At the same time, content also popped up in the prompt box.

[Completed the player game "Escape"]

[The stamp "Escape Master" has been obtained]

[Escape Master: Imitate Jackie Chan's escape skills and make movements that are both ornamental and practical to escape from the pursuers. This lasts for three minutes. 】

[You can now choose to leave or enter the instance again. 】

[Note: This copy can be completed repeatedly, and you can obtain more generous rewards after completing the hidden tasks. 】

After Yu Liang read the prompts on his page, he found that he was not completely separated from the role-playing game. In fact, he was still staying on the road outside the community, listening to the wailing of the humans in those communities.

Does this count as completing the "player game"?

The difficulty was somewhat different from what he imagined.

Yu Liang thought about his escape speed just now. It was not far from the building to the east boundary of the community. It would be difficult for a guy who didn't exercise often to run out, but if he was a guy who was good at running, he would choose If you slip down the pipe or jump from the balcony to quickly go downstairs, you can easily reach the end and complete the task.

So this is the difficulty of a normal player game?

Yu Liang thought about how he got into the role-playing game, and he came to a little enlightenment.

In this case, maybe everyone can find such an ID card in their room, and can find this "credential" to enter the player game.

There may not be many people who could escape from the community when the strange story broke out, but now the players are experiencing the eight minutes they had at that time, trying to escape from the community smoothly.

That's right, he's not a child of destiny, so it's impossible for him to just happen to be in the room where he came to find this kind of prop to enter the role-playing game. That's too ridiculous.

In this case, wouldn't many people in this dungeon be able to obtain this [Escape Master] stamp?

Parkour master per capita?

Six Jackie Chan in Building 3?

Yu Liang fantasized about that scene and found it inexplicably interesting.

After figuring out the reason, his eyes also fell on the "hidden reward" in the prompt box.

This time the player game only got a stamp, and nothing else. He was not greedy for the "hidden reward", but mainly wanted to get more first-hand information when the ghost story broke out.

The problem that gave him a headache now was not the player game, but the two moons in the copy.

Obviously, a balance must be reached between the two moons to completely reconcile this turmoil, but he basically has no idea how to do it.

The moons can't be seen, so he doesn't know the specific situation and can only guess from other places.

And the moons were thousands of miles away in the sky, so he couldn't influence them even if he wanted to.

He could probably guess what happened. When the strange stories broke out, doubt swallowed up faith. Faith kept going back in time to protect itself, and then suddenly gained great power.

This power is most likely the belief in some powerful strange creature, and then the belief kills and devours the doubt.

Therefore, there is no doubt in Zhoumu community, and Zhoumu Yuliang allowed doubt to be reborn from the body of faith.

Now Yu Liang can probably understand his approach. Only by rebirth of doubt can it be possible to regain the balance between the two.

Perhaps when the suspicion grows again, the two moons will be rebalanced, and the strange stories will subside.

But this is likely just wishful thinking.

When doubt regains power, the first thing that will happen is likely to be the "return of the Dragon King" and once again get into a battle with faith.

From the current point of view, there is probably no room for reconciliation between the two. You eat me and I eat you. It is completely incompatible.

How easy is it to get them to balance?

It's easy to be the peacemaker in this situation, as long as your fist is bigger than both of them.

Yu Liang looked at his fist and sighed slowly.

Obviously, this is currently impossible to do.

These two source ghost stories are mature ghost stories. I don’t know how long they have existed. Even if he can release "them", it will be meaningless.

He still doesn't know how the source monsters fight, but if he thinks about it carefully, maybe it's just that no one can influence the other?

After all, they all have their own rule-level abilities and are extremely difficult to completely eliminate.

[Whether to re-enter the player game "Escape"]

【Yes or No】

Yu Liang selected "Yes", so after a brief blank screen, he opened his eyes again from under the bed.

He simply rummaged around in this room, but the items he could find here were much the same as before before entering the game, and he didn't find any new clues.

But his mother's call came from the living room outside. Without much hesitation, Yu Liang opened the window again and jumped to the balcony on the sixth floor.

The curtains on the balcony on the sixth floor were not closed, and only the balcony door was locked. Yu Liang summoned Zaizi to violently break open the door and walked into the room.

There was no one inside.

Yu Liang rummaged briefly, and after finding no results, he walked to the next house.

He summoned the dead-faced humanoid and the skull monster and asked them to follow him.

In this case, even if there are people in other people's homes, it will be fine. After seeing the monster next to him, the resident will either remain silent and dare not take a breath, or run out of his home screaming.

He was just searching aimlessly now because he didn't know what to do.

Yu Liang quickly gave up this search, because it was the early stage of the outbreak of strange rumors, and these residents knew nothing at all, so they could not find any useful clues.

Rather than conducting this random search, it would be better to find a few residents and ask them to look up at the sky and ask them what they saw.

This efficiency may be higher.

The seven minutes ended quickly, and Yu Liang opened his eyes again under the bed.

He removed the Snake-Eater from the universe.

The small notebook left by the original resident stated that he was probably trapped in a dream.

Judging from the records of the original residents, it was definitely not the time when the strange stories broke out, so it is possible that the current original residents are still staying in this room?

Stay in a dream in this room?

"Look for any dreams in this room. If there are any, eat them." Yu Liang patted the snake on the head.

The Devouring Snake also nodded extremely excitedly, and began to search the room with its nose twitching. After a few seconds, it seemed to have found something, and began to hide in the corner and devour it.

After a while, it seemed to have completely eaten up the dream, lying on the ground with its belly turned up, spitting out long snake tongue, and panting like a dog.

A man appears in the room.

His face was unfamiliar. His hair had grown to his shoulders and his beard was unkempt. He looked like a wild man who had been separated from society for a long time.

If you guessed correctly, this should be Qin Haijian.

Yu Liang made a judgment in his heart.

Fortunately it's not "Yu Liang", fortunately it's just Qin Haijian.

He also thought that in this role-playing game, all "Qin Haijian" would be turned into "Yu Liang".

"Qin Haijian?" Yu Liang tried to call out his name.

Qin Haijian instantly raised his head and looked at him with blood-red eyes. Then he lowered his head and bumped it on the ground as if remembering something. He kept muttering something in his mouth: "Don't raise your head, lower your head, lower your head, lower your head."

Yu Liang looked at Qin Haijian curiously, and then watched numbers pop up in his prompt box.

[merit +1]

[merit +1]

[merit +1]

"Um?"

Merit?

Yu Liang was stunned.

Does this copy still have such a thing?

Is it because he saved Qin Haijian?

No, judging from Qin Haijian's words just now, he obviously lowered his head because he couldn't raise his head, and then it turned into kowtow.

So what is the use of this merit?

Is it the same as in some prehistoric novels?

While Qin Haijian was kowtowing, he was still mumbling something:

“Pour living water on the artificial flowers.”

"The whistle blows loudly in the dirty oil."

"It's out of reach of children."

"Twisted joints swallow it up."

"The prostitutes were set on fire."

"There are people dying in the streets far away."

"Where's the moon?"

"The moon loves us all forever."

“Except the doubters of faith, except the doubters of faith.”

The low chant sounded like some kind of spell, with a bit of magic power. Yu Liang couldn't help but listen to it several times before he came back to his senses. During this time, he also gained a total of thirty-three points of merit.

These shiny golden values ​​​​gleamed in his page, like some kind of rare treasure.

However, there is no obvious use.

Yu Liang didn't understand it either, so he planned to ask the masked man next time. The masked man was well-informed and might know.

Provided this guy is still willing to tell him.

Yu Liang was murmuring in his heart, and he decided to go to a grocery store early, at least before his next break.

Otherwise, you will find the masked man after you wake up...

Who knows if Li Huachao would do something excessive to the masked man, and then cause the masked man to close the door and refuse to visit.

"You're here again."

Suddenly, the words in Qin Haijian's mouth became much clearer, and their meaning was clear, pointing directly at Yu Liang.

(There are fanarts of Zhang Tuyou and Li Huachao. Let’s see if the Easter egg stamps can be sent out. We may review them. No rush ^_^)
