The author's diary of ghost stories

Lao Du!

He never left!

Yu Liang broke into cold sweat instantly. He turned his back to Lao Du and was at a loss for what to do.

What should I say, what explanation can be given to reassure Lao Du?

No, that's not right.

When Lao Du saw these weird behaviors of mine, he already had irreversible suspicions. However, the degree of suspicion was not enough to compare with my value, so Lao Du only asked, and only asked.

"I'm waiting for the waiter at the visitor center." Yu Liang turned around and looked in the direction of Lao Du's voice, "I want to try to see how smart the waiters here are. You said that if you have any requests, you can ask the staff to solve them. I think Try this limit.”

"No, try to have as little contact with those employees as possible." Lao Du said, "There is no need to ask the employees to take you out of here. There will be no safer place in the zoo than around me."

He walked quietly to the door, put his hand on the handle of the long knife at his waist, and quickly opened the door.

The corridor was still dark, and the sensor light above his head turned on, illuminating the area.

There was no one, no employees, just a dead silence extending infinitely deep into the corridor.

Lao Du frowned slightly. If a waiter had just passed by, the sensor light would have been on even if no one was seen in the nearby area, but now it is dark and quiet here.

Did you notice the bear trap at the door and leave early?

Are there self-aware employees?

What on earth did Yu Liang provoke?

Just a phone call to the front desk can lead to strange stories?

"You come with me." Lao Du turned around, his tone undeniable.

It is not appropriate to leave Yu Liang alone in the visitor center now. He cannot waste "blind" characters and at least create some value, even just a little.

"Oh, what are you going to do?" Yu Liang calmed down quickly. He also understood that before he threatened Lao Du, Lao Du would not hurt him, but would do his best to protect him.

Lao Du's answer is simple: "Step in."

Yu Liang couldn't see what happened next, so he didn't have any unnecessary feelings. He only knew that Lao Du took him around the visitor center and recorded something. It was like what he had seen in the movie, where thieves were in every house. There are signs on the door, and the signs are different for single women and men living in groups.

Time in this zoo seemed to have stopped a long time ago. Visitor registration still relied on pen and paper, so when Lao Du lured away the waiter at the front desk and snatched away the visitor registration form, the entire hall became chaotic. Yu Liang could hear the messy footsteps. and shouting, but he only needed to sit on the couch and listen to the noisy sounds of smashing and smashing that continued outside the gate and into the distance.

Although I don’t know if this kind of thing has happened before, I think this kind of scene is relatively rare.

After becoming blind, Yu Liang found that his concept of time had become much weaker. He didn't know how long it took, but Lao Du finally came back and sat on the other end of the couch. There was a rare tiredness in his voice: "Okay. Let's go have lunch together, and then go to Dawu and Xiaowu to get a car. It will be easier to find the 'Xiang' if we have a car, and we will try to get into the secret of this strange story before evening."

Da Wu and Xiao Wu were the two driver brothers who were on the bus when they first entered the zoo. Yu Liang still remembered them because he had always been interested in the method by which the two men obtained the bus.

It's probably the same as getting a helicopter in GTA, you either have to steal it or you can get it by completing tasks honestly, right?

Lao Du rested on the sofa for a while, and then left the visitor center with Yu Liang.

——

When we arrived at the place, Lao Du stopped.

The main entrance of the visitor center faces north. After going out, go straight a little, turn left, turn right, and continue going straight, which means the destination is to the north of the visitor center.

Yu Liang searched in his mind for the map he had seen before. His memory was a little fuzzy, but he vaguely remembered that there was a gate to enter the park at the northernmost part of the map, and there was a departure point for the park bus near the gate.

He had almost forgotten the subdivided zoo area, but he still had an impression of some special places.

"Lao Du?" Da Wu's surprised voice came from one side. He looked at the appearance of Lao Du and Yu Liang and marveled, "What's going on with you guys? Is there another newcomer?"

"I met the 'Elephant' yesterday." Lao Du answered without hesitation, but that was all.

"Okay, sorry." Da Wu just smiled and shrugged. Yu Liang's existence made him secretly strange. He didn't expect that Lao Du would bring a blind man with him as a burden.

Lao Du shook his head: "I'll lend you the bus today. I'll return it to you before dark, and I'll pay you ten 'broken' characters as rent."

"Rent a car?" Xiao Wu came out of nowhere. He stood next to Da Wu, with a hint of surprise in his voice, but he turned to say in an embarrassed tone, "Lao Du, you know, we are here today. Gotta work.”

"Fifteen." Lao Du didn't want to say too much. He didn't like to waste time on these things.

"Twenty, plus a special character, give it as you like." Xiao Wu grinned. As employees of the zoo, they can live much longer than ordinary tourists, but the price is that the hope of leaving the zoo is even slimmer.

They had known Lao Du for a long time, and Lao Du had never rented a car before, which meant that what Lao Du was going to do today was very important, and he could make a small blackmail.

"I never ask for help," Lao Du said, his tone in a low tone.

Xiao Wu smiled again, and he quickly waved his hands and said: "This is business, and we are businessmen now. Lao Du, you don't need to beg us."

"Okay." Lao Du could only nod, "If you need twenty, I have a better choice."

Upon hearing this, Yu Liang quickly let go of the rope around Lao Du and took a few steps back. Although he had been listening, he knew exactly what Lao Du would do next, so he needed to quickly leave the five-step character range.

"Broken." Lao Du said softly, and a character emerged from his hand and sank into Xiao Wu's right leg at lightning speed.

"What!" A wound suddenly appeared on Xiao Wu's leg. He screamed and his whole body fell to the right uncontrollably.

Lao Du's long knife hung on his left waist. He grabbed the handle of the knife with his right hand and pulled it out boldly. The knife moved from bottom to top, facing Xiao Wu who was leaning over.

"呲——"

In just one move, his head was cut off, and his head rolled on the ground. Xiao Wu's body fell to his knees on the ground, and blood sprayed all over the ground in a radial pattern.

"You!" Da Wu never imagined that Lao Du, who was still negotiating one second, would kill him the next second, and so decisively.

He originally allowed Xiao Wu to trick Lao Du, but he didn't expect that Lao Du didn't care about his past feelings at all, and now he actually caused this situation. For a moment, his regret turned into anger, and he stared at Lao Du with red eyes. Du shouted loudly: "I want you to pay for life with one life!"

Da Wu's body continued to glow with black energy, and his hands transformed into slender claws, rushing towards Lao Du crazily, like a beast forced into a desperate situation.

Lao Du turned slightly to avoid it. He held the knife to block the wolf's claws. One after another "broken" characters emerged from his forearms, hitting various parts of Da Wu's body from various angles like a swarm of meteors. However, with It was different when attacking Xiao Wu. These characters were constantly offset by the black energy. Da Wu still waved his claws and pressed forward step by step.

"Can it offset characters?" Lao Du couldn't see the origin of this black energy, but he thought it was some kind of weird buffing effect.

The function of the black energy is probably to counteract the attack of the characters, but the "breaking" characters are not without effect. The black energy is rapidly decreasing visibly to the naked eye. In just a few seconds, only a thin layer is left, which can only protect the character. The key to Da Wu.

And it also comes at a price. There are obvious ulcers on Da Wu's arms. The surface of his skin is covered with dark brown sores, which are like dirty mud with bubbling bubbles, which is disgusting.

Moreover, Da Wu has never used characters since the emergence of the black energy. This is not because there are no characters, it should be a limitation of the black energy.

Da Wu is definitely no match for characters, so using black energy to attack is naturally a better choice.

The claws were sharp, and Da Wu's figure suddenly accelerated. He did not give Lao Du time to breathe. A new wave of offensive came. Lao Du needed to concentrate on controlling the use of characters, and he was actually at a disadvantage in the fight. Hurry back.

"You're dead!" Da Wu shouted in a sharp voice. He could feel that he was full of power. His speed would only get faster and faster. If he was given three more rounds, Lao Du would definitely lose.

Wait, he's not dodging backwards!

Da Wu's eyes fell on Lao Du's feet, and he suddenly discovered that Lao Du's steps were still steady and without any signs of chaos.

He is keeping the right distance!

However, it was too late to wake up at this time. Lao Du's knife came first, and the distance of four or five steps seemed to be non-existent under his feet. The light of the knife bloomed on Da Wu's neck, and Lao Du was already intertwined with Da Wu's body. Then, he calmly put away the knife and counted the number of characters he had just consumed.

Behind him, Da Wu's body fell to the ground, unable to get up again.

"I used twelve 'broken' characters." Old Du whispered, "I made three."

At this moment, Lao Du is more like a businessman than Wu and Wu. As long as it is confirmed that robbing saves resources and time than renting, he will take action without hesitation.

Absolute interestism, as long as there are interests, morality and ethics are nothing in his eyes.

"Is it over?" Yu Liang heard the sound not far away completely disappearing and asked, "Won't their bodies be discovered by the garden authorities?"

"It's okay, someone will take care of it." Lao Du waved his hand, "I'll go drive, you just stand here and don't move around."

"Oh." These words made Yu Liang feel strange. He now doubted whether Lao Du's education was from elementary school.

However, Lao Du's voice still sounded confident and stable, indicating that opponents of Wu's level could not pose any threat to him.

It seems that two is not enough. At least three are needed to make Lao Du feel slightly troublesome, because his sudden attack can steadily take away one, and the remaining one-on-one battles will naturally be no problem.

Not long after, the bus drove to Yu Liang's side. He first called Lao Du, and after receiving the answer, he held on to the railing on the door and got on the bus.

He has learned to be more vigilant now, but he is worried that he will get on the wrong bus and be taken to an unknown place by unknown creatures. If that happens, it will all be over.

Finding a seat and sitting down, Yu Liang leaned against the car window and began to take a nap. From now on, they would aimlessly search for the "elephant" in the zoo. This time could be very short or very long, or they might not be able to find the elephant at all before dark. Less than.

"How can I get the word 'curse'?" Lao Du, who was sitting in the driver's seat, suddenly asked. He was retrieving the characters he had just obtained from Wu and Dawu.

"Curse?" Yu Liang was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this was the parsing character that Lao Du mentioned.

If you want to use other people's characters, you must first successfully parse the synthesis path of the characters. This process sounds difficult. It seems that you need to find the right few from the vast sea of ​​characters, but in fact it is not the case.

First of all, analysis only requires guessing the raw materials and the rough synthesis path; secondly, the words that can be used to combine are generally nouns, and with a few qualifications, it can basically be guessed in just a few times.

Of course, this also requires the cracker to have unusual sensitivity to Chinese characters. Ordinary people can only get a blank in their brains.

The word "curse"?

"Several" and two "mouths".

Muscle hunger ridicule machine (group participation is prohibited)...

Yu Liang quickly searched for Chinese characters containing "ji" in his mind. There seemed to be quite a few, but so far the only items that could be synthesized were visible objects, which seemed to be the only ones left. "Muscle" seems to work, but most people can't recognize what muscles look like.

Now the only things he can use to synthesize are "name" and "texture", but yesterday when Lao Du made the "elimination" character, he used "surname", which made Yu Liang wonder whether tourists with higher levels can use more things to synthesize.

Forget it, now is not the time to think about this.

As for the "mouth", it is not difficult to find the mouth of any species.

"How many 'curse' characters are there?" To make sure the answer was correct, he asked again.

"Three."

Yu Liang nodded to indicate understanding.

Three, which means that the raw material of this character is not unique. Although it is not common, it is not completely impossible to find.

"The 'machine' of the machine extracts the texture and then combines it with the two 'mouths'." Yu Liang gave the answer.

After a moment, Lao Du denied the answer: "The analysis failed. They seem to have obtained the characters through two-in-one, not three-in-one."

"Is that so?" Yu Liang touched his chin and continued thinking. Are the two horizontal "mouths" the same character?

Is there such a word?

He frowned slightly and said nothing for a while.

Lu.

The answer will emerge later.

"Try to extract metal texture 'aluminum' again." He continued, aluminum is also a relatively common item.

Lao Du didn't say much. He knew that this kind of analysis process was not simple. It was normal to try it many times. But in more cases, it was so dark that he couldn't even think of a way to test it. .

"Successful." Lao Du was a little surprised. He put the three characters into his arms.

"What effect?" Yu Liang asked immediately.

Lao Du did not hide it: "Apply a random curse effect to the target. The specific situation will not be known until you try it."

"Oh." Yu Liang responded, "Besides the 'curse' character, what else is there?"

"No more." Lao Du said, "The rest are all 'broken' characters, which are also the most common characters. But even 'broken' with simple raw materials will not be ruined on the street. Enter the zoo area to kill the animals and skin them , this in itself is a dangerous behavior that can easily lead to ghost stories, and for this reason, some tourists even use human skin as raw material."

He concluded: "It is very difficult to obtain characters here. Not only do you have to come up with a synthesis method, but you also have to collect resources in a place where strange stories are rampant. And I suspect that this 'curse' character was snatched by Wu and Xiaowu. They don't have it at all." Used on me.”

Yu Liang said nothing. Although Lao Du's purpose was impure, it was obvious that he might not have survived yesterday without Lao Du.

Apart from some familiarity with words, he had no advantage in this zoo.
