The author's diary of ghost stories

Yes, you don’t have to find the crocodile, you can find any person!

The note on the blue light screen reminded Yu Liang, and his heart immediately reacted.

As long as you are in a place with people, the "crocodile" behind you cannot kill itself, otherwise it may be known to another crocodile, and the "crocodile" that turns into a monkey will naturally become food for the real crocodile.

With the blessing of rationality, the crocodile will not make a choice that is not worth the gain.

Between life and death, Yu Liang's feet moved much faster than usual. He tilted his head slightly and focused his attention behind him, wary of the approaching crocodiles from behind.

The force roared with the fishy wind, and a thick hand grabbed Yu Liang's shoulder from behind. It suddenly exerted downward force and pushed Yu Liang's whole body to the ground. He lay on the ground, and what came into view was It was a bloody mouth dripping with saliva.

It's over.

Despair welled up in his heart, but Yu Liang did not wait for the end of his life. The crocodile employee let go of his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, and there was some cunningness in the corners of his eyes. He seemed to feel something, and hurriedly left here. .

…

gone?

Yu Liang could feel his heart beating wildly. The lingering fear kept lingering in his mind, and all his strength was dissipated. If the crocodile appeared again now, he would definitely not have the physical strength to run wildly again.

But no more, the crocodile is really gone.

call--

As if he had stepped into a safe line, Yu Liang felt that the sting of the crisis behind him suddenly dissipated, and then he felt relieved.

Why did it leave?

In this remote place, the crocodile had priority and absolute strength, and could easily kill itself, but the crocodile never made a move.

Moreover, the crocodile obviously knew something. It appeared at this time and at this location, and it was still using the excuse of "tour guide". He who didn't know the situation should not have a chance to escape.

Because there are only two crocodiles left?

No, just like he said, just eat the monkey secretly. Just now was the best opportunity.

Yu Liang thought for a moment to no avail, so he had to settle for a game between the two crocodiles. However, this did not mean that the crocodiles would let him go. He still needed to avoid being alone.

He looked back at the direction he had just escaped from, and now there was only calm and calm, but the virtual blue light screen in front of him still displayed the words "Monkey Can't Be Alone".

"Beep--" The sharp whistle of the bus came from the corner of Zoo Avenue. The bus arrived beside Yu Liang in an instant. A young man's head poked out from the passenger seat. He glanced and said, "New Visitors here? Get on the bus first, we will be on our way. If you have any questions, don’t ask them in a hurry, we will tell you later."

Yu Liang nodded and got in the car through the opened front door. Now that he had triggered the monkey ghost story, he had no choice.

He walked into the car and quickly glanced at the people in the car. There were not many people, separated in twos and threes. He could sense from the atmosphere that the place was divided into many factions.

The driver and co-pilot have somewhat similar faces, they should be brothers; there are three women sitting in the middle of the carriage, they wear simple makeup and laugh in low voices; then there is a lone middle-aged man in work clothes, his hand is On the armrest, next to him is a machete that reaches the ground, and on his waist is a flashlight soaked in brown blood. Next to him is a huge travel bag half a person's height, stuffed to the top; and in the last row of the car There was a man and a woman sitting at opposite ends, obviously not acquainted with each other.

Judging from their demeanor, the two people in the back row were always nervous, and they were probably both newcomers.

"That's almost it. It's not bad to find three new tourists in the morning." One of the three women said, "It's already dinner time, so that's it this time."

"That's okay." After hearing this, the driver stopped the bus on the side of the road. He turned around and his eyes fell on the lone man, "How to divide these newcomers? One on each side?"

The lone man did not answer his words, but directly asked the three newcomers behind him, "What's your last name?"

"What's your last name?" The man in the back row was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously replied, "Xiao, my name is Xiao Zhize."

"Xiao? What Xiao?" The lone man raised his head. His hair was a little messy and his beard was unkempt, but his eyes were as sharp as swords, pointing directly at Xiao Zhize.

Xiao Zhize replied: "It's the sign of the zodiac."

"Well, okay." The lone man nodded twice, his eyes meaningful, "What do you do outside? You two also tell me, and I will tell you about the situation here later."

"I'm from the financial industry." Xiao Zhize was the first to answer. The lone man's sharp temperament made him very uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to have an opinion and just spoke honestly.

"My name is Huang Yijia, a college student." The girl on the other side replied. She was a little shy and spoke in a low voice.

"Yu Liang is a good writer." Seeing that the other two people were doing the same thing, Yu Liang told the truth and did not act like a standout.

"Writer...then you should know a lot of words, right?" The lone man looked at him deeply, turned to the two brothers and three women and said, "Okay, I will take care of these newcomers. Da Wu , Ali, do you have any objection?"

There is no doubt in his words. He has no companions and seems to be the least dominant, but he has the most powerful momentum.

Da Wu is the driver, and Ali is the leader of the three women.

Xiao Wu, who was in the co-pilot, suddenly changed his expression and said anxiously: "I'll give it all to you? Don't you hate bringing in new people, Lao Du? In the past, you didn't..."

"Okay." However, Da Wu agreed without hesitation, "That's it for today. You can get off the car."

Seeing this, Xiao Wu had to darken his face, but said nothing.

Um?

Yu Liang paused slightly and took a deep look at the lone man, Lao Du.

It sounds like Lao Du decided to bring in new people because of his surname "Xiao" and his identity as a writer?

Is there anything special about "xiao" and "more literacy"?

"Huang... Yijia, right? This little sister should follow us." The woman smiled charmingly. She stepped forward and took Huang Yijia's hand kindly, "Our place is a gathering place for female tourists. , you’d better come with us, we can help each other.”

Huang Yijia glanced at Lao Du. She instinctively felt that it would be better to follow the three elder sisters, so she made a decision: "Okay, I will go with the sisters."

So the four of them got out of the car first. Yu Liang noticed the direction they were going to the nearby grassland animal exhibition area. Lao Du, who was in the front seat, picked up his travel bag and said to the two of them: "Let's get out of the car first."

Lao Du also walked towards the grassland animal area, but at a much slower pace. He seemed to be introducing the situation on the way.

"My surname is Du, you can just call me Lao Du." He said, "This is one of the ghost stories world, Changhong Zoo."

"Ghost Story World? What is that?" Xiao Zhize asked, he was still a little confused, "Changhong Zoo? Is this a script for an escape room? Then how do we get out? I don't have the heart to play this now."

"Oh, you are right to think so, but this secret room is a bit big and there is no way to escape." Lao Du smiled, but there was no warmth in his smile, "There is no key, there is no key to this zoo."

Before Xiao Zhize and the two could react, he continued: "I'm going to keep my story short. Don't interrupt me now."

A look from Lao Du made Xiao Zhize swallow back all his questions.

"Here follows the iron rules and written rules of all Kaitan worlds. Each item has two most basic things - name and texture. With these few things, some items collected in the zoo can be synthesized. For example..." Lao Du thought, he stood and took off the huge traveling bag behind him, and took out a few things from it, including two flints, some homemade tinder and an unknown insect.

"Look, now I'm raising a fire." He used the flint and tinder to raise a small flame, then grabbed the dead insect and put it in. "The name of this insect is my name. It doesn’t come up, but its ‘texture’ is ‘worm’, so if you combine it with fire, it will become ‘candle’.”

After saying this, something like a torch appeared in Lao Du's hand, and its top was poured with red wax oil, like a candle.

"This is it!" This magical change immediately surprised Xiao Zhize.

"What was synthesized was not a candle, but this kind of torch." Although Lao Du had synthesized it in this way before, he still had doubts, "I don't know why."

But Yu Liang on the side was moved. He seemed to understand, but at the same time he had a strange feeling.

Unburned torches are collectively called "燋", the ones used for holding are called candles, and the ones placed on the ground are called "燋". However, ordinary people will not understand the internal logic of this kind of rhetoric.

Does this weird world exist just to promote Chinese character culture?
