The author's diary of ghost stories

"Word?" Yu Liang was a little surprised. This was beyond his expectation.

What is the root of the strange stories in one word? The identity of the monster is one word?

What word?

this……

Quite creative.

Yu Liang searched the lexicon in his mind, and finally found only this evaluation. It was like telling him that the indescribable Old One in the Cthulhu Mythology was actually a Chinese character.

To be honest, I can’t imagine what it was like.

"Well, the last ghost story world was like this." Lao Du seemed unwilling to say more about his experience. This was the last time he mentioned his last ghost story world. Then he opened the mezzanine of the diary and looked through the past security records. down the rules.

Sure enough, a sticky note was stuck to the inner page. He tore off the sticky note and placed it on the table. There were only a few items in it.

1. If you hear a strange sound during night patrol, if you think it might be it, then it must be it. Keep a distance from the wall, then turn on the flashlight and shine it on yourself to make your shadow as big as possible. It can't tell the difference between the shadow and the real person, which may be able to scare it.

2. When patrolling, stay away from areas with herbivores. Do not touch any animals. Stay away from mirrors, elevators, underground parking lots and souvenir shops selling dolls. Do not patrol alone. If your colleagues ask to go to a certain area alone, do not stop them. Know what he's doing.

3. No matter what you see in the cage in the elephant park, do not open the lock. Be sure to believe that the elephant is always inside. Do not doubt it and do not let it feel your fear.

4. Make sure you have enough energy and sleep. It is always safe when sleeping, but do not sleep for too long. You will be distracted when you wake up, which is not conducive to work in the park.

Yu Liang recorded in his mind that only the herbivorous zoo area and the elephant park were mentioned here. The elephants should be because there are indescribable phenomena there. As for herbivorous animals...

Are they more dangerous than carnivores?

He thought of the crocodile entangled in him and shook his head.

No, judging from the diary, there weren't that many strange stories at that time. This may be because "it" prefers to transform into herbivores, because herbivores are more likely to get close to tourists.

"Has this 'elephant' outside already existed since that time?" Xiao Zhize finished reading the content on the sticky note and asked, "Has it left now?"

"Well, it won't stay in one place for too long." Lao Du nodded and scanned the entire security room. He opened the closet and found a change of security uniforms. There were two batons and flashlights piled in the corner, and There is a box of AA batteries.

He said to the two people behind him: "Take them all. The items found in the zoo will not deteriorate over time. These things can still be used."

Yu Liang and Xiao Zhize were not polite. Lao Du didn't need these things. The baton was made of rubber, but it had a certain power when it was solid. They took apart a box of batteries, put them in a flashlight, and put the rest in the inventory. , with the baton on his waist, he finally doesn’t look like a tourist anymore.

The corridor outside the security room was quiet. Lao Du was the last one to walk out of the room. He closed the door and hid only an ID card. The rest was placed in its original place. The post-it note was placed exactly where it was. He was always too lazy. Do things that harm others but do not benefit oneself.

The three of them did not return along the original route, but left through the back door of the performance hall. The elephant had already gone away and was missing, so they continued towards Turtle Island.

Perhaps because today is the day when new tourists enter the park, most tourists are concentrated in the visitor center, so Yu Liang did not see other tourists along the way. There were quite a few employees, but the facial expressions of these employees were very stiff, and they often They were doing their own thing meticulously with no expression on their faces, which made Yu Liang suspect that they were not living people at all, but were things built using programs and certain parts.

It was a completely different feeling from the previous crocodile and rabbit clerks. These employees were alive and could feel that they were living things, but they could only live a little.

The rest of the journey was equally uneventful. According to Lao Du, when new visitors join today, it will be the quietest day for ghost stories in the zoo. It will not break out near the visitor center until nightfall, but Yu Liang also feels a little bit. Strangely, this rule should not be difficult to summarize, but it seems that only Lao Du knows it.

To this, Lao Du just responded coldly, because every seven days is a reincarnation, and most people cannot survive seven days at all.

Along the way, Yu Liang has been thinking about the "moon". The moon as a texture appears in many nouns, such as "legs", "kidneys", etc., but after thinking about it carefully, it seems that it cannot be used to synthesize "key".

"Turtle" is reduced to "electricity". Although it has the characteristics of electricity, the name and texture have not changed. Therefore, the reduced "moon" cannot be used to synthesize, and "moon" and "metal" are both textures, and the texture must rely on It takes another subject to form the character or object and cannot be extracted alone, so secondary conversion is useless.

To put it simply, in order to synthesize a key, it seems that a "moon" is required.

Yu Liang thought deeply for a while, but had no choice but to give up after finding no results.

There is a large lake in the southeast corner of the zoo. Entering the center of the lake through the covered bridge on the lake, an island called Turtle Island appears in front of Yu Liang.

If you look down from the sky, the overall shape of Turtle Island is like an enlarged turtle shell, with regular bumps and convexes on it. The bulges are roads for tourists to travel, dividing Turtle Island into dozens of areas, a bit like a chessboard. It is also like the pattern on the back of a certain turtle shell, and the concave part is the viewing area for different turtles. There is a very obvious height difference between the two, but the guardrail on the roadside is not high. It seems to facilitate tourists to cross the guardrail. Enter the viewing area.

Under the leadership of Lao Du, Yu Liang and Xiao Zhize did exactly this. The three of them went directly into the viewing area to take away turtles of different sizes, and then went to camp in the central square of Turtle Island, which was originally one of the camping spots of the zoo. , nearby is a lawn with a wide view, and there is a fountain pool in the center of the square. The nearby service shop also has tents and sleeping bags for rent.

As night falls, street lights are turned on among the intersecting roads on Turtle Island. The light from the street lights is weak and scattered, as if they don't want to disturb the animals living there. Unlike the silence during the day, Yu Liang heard a lot of rustling sounds this night, as if something was waking up in the night.

He looked at Lao Du, who was setting up animal traps near the tent of the three of them, surrounding the tent with three layers inside and three layers outside. It must be said that this gave Yu Liang and Xiao Zhize a strong sense of security.

That's something that can trap even a fickle creature like an "elephant". As long as the three of them don't sleep like dead pigs, they'll be fine.

After placing the bear trap, Lao Du took out three advertising signs from his backpack and placed them in three directions around the outside of the bear trap, with the words "There is a trap ahead" written on them. After doing all this, he He stood in front of the tent and watched for a while, then said to Yu Liang and Xiao Zhize: "If there is nothing else, go to bed early."

"Yeah." Xiao Zhize responded, and then entered the tent as well, while Yu Liang checked the situation nearby and took a close look at Lao Du's animal trap.

It is obviously made of metal, but the bear trap is translucent, so there is no possibility of being discovered in a dim environment. Only when the strong light of the flashlight shines on it can you notice the slight distortion of the air.

He raised his head and looked at the entire square. The view here was wide, and the lights were not dim even under the concentration. This scene gave him a feeling of "knowing", and his heart was relieved.

Yu Liang also took out the pebbles from his pocket, which he collected along the way, and threw them near his tent. His sleep was always light, and even the slightest sound of stepping on pebbles would wake him up.

The bear trap could protect him from some strange creatures, but he still wasn't reassured.

After doing all this, Yu Liang entered his tent, got into his sleeping bag and closed his eyes. However, after thinking about it, he still felt that he could not sleep well, so he opened a hole in the corner of the tent in front of him and passed through the narrow Kong could see the situation outside, and the center of his vision was the tents of Lao Du and Xiao Zhize. Their tents were tightly tied, everything was calm, and he finally settled down and fell asleep.

Late at night, the cool wind carried the faint sound of water into Yu Liang's tent. It was like walking in the sky and suddenly stepped on the air. The feeling of weightlessness suddenly hit him. He woke up instantly and sat up in the tent.

Yu Liang stretched out his hand to hold down his violently beating heart. He lay down again and looked out from the small hole in the tent. The tents of Lao Du and Xiao Zhize were both open. He could not see that they were not in the tent yet, but they were closer. Then, through the wind, you can hear the sound of splashing water coming from the direction of the fountain pool not far away.

The sound of water?

Doubts arose in his mind, and after a moment of hesitation, he got out of his sleeping bag and carefully opened the tent.

If there is really any danger, hiding in a tent is undoubtedly the stupidest choice. He tiptoed across the tent, avoiding Lao Du's bear traps. When observing before going to bed, he roughly memorized the locations of the bear traps around his tent.

Yu Liang was not short, so when he stood in front of Xiao Zhize's tent, his eyes easily passed over the tent and landed on the pool not far away.

Under the bright moonlight, there was only one person left. Lao Du was bent over in the pool, and his body was floating on its back. His hands were being pulled out of the body's hair, and his body was slowly straightening up.

Golden light emerged from everywhere on the corpse and from everywhere in the water. The corpse and the water slowly dissipated, and a character slowly appeared in front of Lao Du.

"remove".

The character sank into Lao Du's arms, and he turned his head to look at Yu Liang, his face expressionless.

He did not explain, as if he had completed the planned plan step by step. On the contrary, his eyes were calm, as if he was waiting for Yu Liang's explanation.

(The current text rules are in the writer's statement, and the relevant issues should be explained clearly. Therefore, the "key" cannot be obtained directly by extracting metal and moon texture. I feel that some people will care about this issue, so I will only emphasize it once.)

We have officially entered the plot. What follows will be very exciting. Please follow it. Only if you can advance will you have more motivation to continue writing. Thank you for your support!

The following are the text rules currently obtained by the protagonist:

1. Two items can be directly synthesized through "name", such as "candle".

2. The secondary conversion rule can obtain more characters, such as "Qi", first combine the texture "wood" with other objects "Xiang" to get "oak", and then combine the lost wood texture "ji" with soil to get "宮" ".

——Available hidden rules: Two textures cannot be synthesized independently, and the texture must rely on a subject (that is, the voice part of the pictophonetic character).

3. Physical reduction can give single-character items special properties, but the essence remains unchanged. When used for synthesis, it will still have the original name and texture. For example, "turtle" has properties similar to power, but appears as "turtle".
