The author's diary of ghost stories

"The identity cards are all the same, except for their names." Yu Liang picked up a few and checked them. "They can all be used to enter the dungeon."

After a brief moment of surprise, Xiao Zhize also picked up the ID cards on the ground one by one. He wanted to stuff them back, but the original drawer was very small and could not fit so many hard ID cards, so he opened a wide drawer next to it. drawer.

Unlike the crowded situation in the small drawer, the large drawer only contained a hard-cover book and a box of marbles, and there were a few capless pens beside it.

"There is a notebook." Xiao Zhize took out the notebook and blew off the dust on it. Lao Du and Yu Liang watched him open the notebook.

There was nothing written on the first page, only yellow pages, so Xiao Zhize quickly turned to the next page, where words finally appeared. The handwriting was straight, and the content seemed to be a diary.

Sure enough, horror exploration games can never be separated from diaries.

Yu Liang complained in his mind, but he was naturally happy to find such a key item, which represented a lot of information about the performance hall, and it was first-hand information from decades ago.

He knew very well that he could not escape this role-playing game. The characters prepared in advance were not used, but the information he learned in advance was definitely useful.

April 28

Today is my first day on the job. The principal is very nice. My colleague Lao Jiang is very fierce-looking and has a big black mole on his eyebrows. But he is also very nice, but a little strange. He gave me a notebook and said he wanted me to I keep a diary, I am a rough person, how can I write this stuff. However, he said that the diary can help the security guards who come later live a few more days. I don’t know what he means, and he doesn’t say why, but I’ll write it down anyway.

No, I think I have enough words, so I won’t write anymore.

"There is nothing in this page." Xiao Zhize turned the page after reading this diary. He moved very gently, for fear that he would break the brittle page.

April 29

The work in the garden is relatively easy, but I am curious. Although every colleague has locked up the animals very well, why are there always animals running on the road? Fortunately, they didn't hurt anyone, and the director was also good at spreading the word, saying...what? Anyway, more and more people came to visit, but the director looked sad and confused.

Forget it, at least the salary has increased again. There is definitely no job in this city that pays more and is easier than this.

April 30

The park bought a lot of funny mirrors, and they looked funny when they looked in the mirror. Some tourists had rabbit ears, and some had elephant trunks, but my colleagues all looked human when they stood in front of the mirror. Lao Jiang said it was The employees have special skills for looking in the mirror, but I clearly don’t understand the skills, so why don’t I see any changes in the mirror?

Lao Jiang said it was the angle of light or something, but I don’t understand. I’ve been bad at math since I was a kid, and I haven’t studied it since junior high school. No, maybe it’s physics?

April 31

Nothing to write home about today.

Oh, Lao Li said, the Lao Li with mung bean eyes is not the Lao Li with glasses. He said there were monsters in the zoo and asked me not to go near the elephant park. What a joke. Lao Jiang immediately beat him, but I felt that Lao Jiang went too far. Why did he hit him so hard?

——

April 32

Lao Jiang disappeared. I shouldn't have let him go to the Elephant Park alone. I was wrong. What Lao Li said was right. There are monsters in the Elephant Park, including elephants with human skin.

The director has known for a long time, the director has always known, no wonder the salary is so high, I can't escape, why can't I find a way to leave?

April 34

I want to protect tourists. Uninformed tourists will be fine, but informed tourists will be scared. Tell the scared tourists to find a way out before dark, and if they can't get out, come to the security room for help. There are tips for them to stay in the mezzanine of the diary.

If you can protect more tourists, don't protect tourists, it will be angry, it will be angry!

April 35

I...I saw it.

Today it's a rabbit, a crazy rabbit, it's running in the zoo, there are rabbits everywhere, we can't catch it. The rabbits were fighting, and many rabbits were biting it. The rabbit with the mole on the eyebrow, the rabbit with mung bean eyes, and the rabbit with myopia were all biting it, but they were all dead, all dead.

The rabbits were all dead.

Do you want to form a rabbit gang? (Written in Yuan You’s handwriting)

I looked in the mirror and today I am not a rabbit, I am a mouse, I have always been timid and I knew it.

You are not brave this time either (Yuan You’s handwriting wrote again)

April 37

Foxes are not cunning, but people see foxes as cunning; snakes are not greedy, but people see snakes as greedy.

People are cunning

People are greedy

humans are animals

Humans are not animals (neat handwriting)

Humans are the intersection of all animals, and humans are the complement of other animals

"Intersection? Supplement?" Lao Du didn't understand these two words, so he subconsciously asked, looking at Yu Liang.

Xiao Zhize flipped back, and the notebook at the back was all blank. The security guard's diary seemed to end here. He also answered Lao Du: "In mathematics, intersection can be understood as the same part that two things have in common; The complement can simply be understood as the difference between two things.”

"Then these two sentences..." Lao Du was not good at mathematics. He could understand Xiao Zhize's explanation, but when he put the nouns back into the sentences, he felt confused again.

Yu Liang shook his head and said: "It's not important. These two sentences are contradictory. What's important is that the person who wrote the diary only dropped out of junior high school, and this is the content of high school mathematics."

"You mean, he has been replaced during this period?" Lao Du understood this time.

"Perhaps." Yu Liang nodded, "It seems to be able to affect people's cognition and transform people into corresponding animals according to their personalities. As long as you don't notice it, you will be fine, but in this zoo, it will happen sooner or later. .”

He pointed to the date on the diary, "There is no thirty-first day in April. This is the day Lao Li told him about the existence of 'it', so his perception began to change from this day."

Moreover, the diary did not record what happened on April 33, but his attitude changed greatly around that day. What should the director have done?

Similarly, there is no diary for April 36, and it can be seen from the diary for April 37 that his cognition has collapsed and has been completely 'contaminated'.

Yu Liang made a note of these two items in his mind. If he participated in the role-playing game, these would be very important clues.

"Lao Du... that thing, do you know what it is?" Xiao Zhize's face was not pretty. The people in the diary changed after "knowing" it, and now that he also knows it, he is a little worried that he will too. Turn into some kind of monster, just like a believer in the Cthulhu Mythos.

"I haven't seen it, but I know it exists. I have been avoiding it." Lao Du said, "It will hang around the director's office more often. It is as shapeless as the elephant, but more terrifying. .”

He paused and said in a gloomy tone: "As for its essence, it is a word, but it is indescribable."
