The author's diary of ghost stories

Yu Liang opened his eyes and saw darkness in front of him.

Seal of the Brave?

Can I clear my "blind" status?

He tried using it, but got negative results.

So Yu Liang picked up the blind stick beside him and tapped the ground, and the surrounding scenes appeared in his mind.

It was still the somewhat familiar security room. Lao Jiang and his clothes were hung on the hangers. The table was neatly tidied. There was nothing else in the drawer except diaries and sugar boxes. Those things that had been piled in the small The employee cards in the drawer also disappeared completely, and it seemed that his only mission ended when he completed the game.

He touched his pocket, and in his pocket was the ID card with his photo printed on it.

——

Name: Yu Liang

Occupation: Night shift security guard

photo:(·-·)

Note: You seem to have left something in the game... Looking forward to your next visit.

"Sure enough, this role-playing game is far from over." Yu Liang murmured to himself, but he had more important things to do now. He took out the knife left by Xiao Zhize and the moon model he just brought out of the game from the inventory. , the page in front of you has entered the synthesis process.

The metal texture of the knife blended with the moon model. After Yu Liang clicked "OK", a key appeared in his hand.

——

key

Name: key

Texture: metal

Note: It has the ability to open any "lock". Of course, only for the first time.

"I got it." Yu Liang clenched his fists. He knew it was not the time to get excited yet, so he put the key and lock in his pocket for easy access at any time.

He tried to find the previous location map of himself and Lao Du in his mind, but whether it was because the statute of limitations had expired or for some other reason, the radar-like map had disappeared from his mind.

"Da, da, da." The blind cane sounded again, and he no longer thought about it and walked out of the security room quickly.

At this time, the performance hall was still echoing with the noise of those monsters. The cannibalistic performance on the other side of the stage seemed not to be over yet, but he still had no intention of getting involved. He moved quickly away from the sound, always ready to start it again. The combination of "Howling Cold" state and the use of the Chi character will bring his movement speed to a terrifying level, making it almost impossible for physical monsters to catch up with him.

After passing through the door, the fresh air rushed into his lungs, and he felt a sense of relief. From the vague light on his eyelids, he could tell that it was already dawn, but not much brighter. It was probably early morning.

My current location is to the east of the performance hall, and the nearest entrance to the station is also on the east. It takes about thirty minutes to walk to get there. Do not use the "Chi" character for now, and then use it if you encounter danger.

He made plans in his mind and was about to move forward, but suddenly the sound of the bus's horn stopped him, and a familiar voice from the distance came, making him freeze in place.

"Yu Liang, here." Lao Du's voice was still calm, as if everything was under his control. He waved to Yu Liang, and then he remembered that Yu Liang was still the blind man, so he put down his hand.

"Lao Du." Yu Liang called out the other person's name in a low voice. He looked at Lao Du to the east with an expressionless face, without saying much for a while.

"If you are lucky and don't encounter too many dangers, you still have a 'Chi' character, which should be a buff that can speed up the speed, but I don't recommend you to use it." Lao Du said slowly, walking slowly over , generously walked within five steps of Yu Liang.

Yu Liang is still blind now, and blind people pose no threat to him.

His tone was the same as usual, but his words were much colder: "I have put down bear traps on all the roads near this place, that place, and the performance hall. This consumes more than half a year of my storage. If you choose to run, , the moment you step on the bear trap, you will die."

Yu Liang did not answer, but his face became much uglier, sweat broke out on his forehead uncontrollably, and his body swayed a bit, as if he was about to fall. Fortunately, he used his blind stick to support his body at the critical moment. .

"So now we can talk about what it is that makes you bother to come to this performance hall." Lao Duban drooped his eyelids and seemed to have no energy, but the look in his eyes was... Scaryly sharp, he would only show this expression when he was serious.

He recalled all Yu Liang's words and deeds that day but found nothing. Most of the time, Yu Liang was silent and acted very low-key, and would leave his sight from time to time. But at that time, all his attention was on Xiao Zhize. The character "xiao" means a lot to him, so he doesn't pay much attention to Yu Liang. Compared to Xiao Zhize, Yu Liang is just a gift for free.

But now, it seems that the number of draws given by recharging the phone bill has hit the jackpot.

"Yesterday... no, it was already the day before yesterday. What did you find in the performance hall?" Lao Du looked at Yu Liang with interest, as if he wanted to get a clue from the frightened pale face.

He is a hunter, and now that he has captured his prey, he naturally wants to squeeze out all the secrets from his prey.

Yu Liang was silent for a long time. He took a few steps back and left the effective range of Lao Du's characters. Then he put his hand into his pocket and said at the same time: "I want to make a deal with you."

"Deal? Is there any point in talking about this now?" Lao Du just shook his head. He slowly stepped forward and put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist.

"You need this." Yu Liang took out the things in his pocket. He held the key in his left hand and Lao Jiang's longevity lock in his right hand. The tip of the key and the longevity lock were almost touching. "Then One day during the day, I found a model of the sun above the stage in the performance hall. I always felt that the night exhibition really existed, and the model on the night exhibition must be the moon. I succeeded. I synthesized the key, which can open any lock. , but only for the first time!”

"..." Lao Du was just silent, his eyes as wide as bells, staring at the keys and lock in Yu Liang's hands.

"Sure enough, sure enough!" Lao Du was finally moved, his eyes showing ecstasy. He has been in this zoo for six months, and he wants to leave here more than any other tourist.

He had been to the border entrance, and the damn electronic sound in the gate would only keep reminding him to find the key before he could leave, but he searched the entire zoo and couldn't find a key that could open the gate.

All the killing and all the savings were in order to leave the zoo alive, and now Yu Liang put an opportunity to leave in front of him, how could he refuse?

"Tell me, what are your transaction terms?" Lao Du lowered his hand from the handle of the knife and tried to be gentle in his tone, for fear of forcing Yu Liangyu to break the net and completely destroy the key.

"I caught you here because you were superior, I agree. I can give you the key and you can leave the zoo." Yu Liang's voice was heavy, and it sounded like he was extremely unwilling to do so, but there was nothing he could do about it now. He gritted his teeth and said, "But I also want to live. I only have one request. I want to live. I never thought about you taking me out of the zoo with you. As long as you let me go."

"No problem." Lao Du agreed without hesitation. As long as he could get the key and leave here, he could agree to any conditions, let alone such a trivial matter.

And once the key is in his hands, Yu Liang's life and death will only depend on his thoughts.

"I'm blind now. I can't use characters on others, so I need the 'cancel' characters on you to protect myself." Yu Liang continued, "In exchange, I can help you analyze other characters snatched from you. , you should have gotten some good things from those three women, right?"

"'Eliminate' character?" Lao Du hesitated slightly. He also waited a long time for this character. The "Eliminate" character can withstand a fatal injury at a critical moment. Its importance is no less important to any tourist. Second life.

But he only hesitated for a moment. In the final analysis, the purpose of "erasing" the characters was to better survive in the zoo. Now that there was a way to return to the living world, what would he not want to do?

Of course, the second exchange condition mentioned by Yu Liang also made him very excited, because he really received several characters from those three women that had not yet been successfully parsed.

"Okay, I promise you, you can take away the 'cancel' character." He agreed, and then looked through the characters found on the three women.

There was more than one prisoner among them, and they used the same method to kill another person in the past two days.

Sleepy, the effect is only half of that of Prisoner, but they are obviously the same type of words, and even he can guess the synthesis method of this word.

Therefore, the only two characters left that have not been successfully parsed are "dazzled" and "blocked".

"Dizziness, dizziness, and blockage, blockage that blocks the road." Old Dulang said, "Tell me how to synthesize them, and then I will use the 'cancel' character in exchange for your key."

"Dazzle...the string of the bow string extracts the texture and adds the eyes, that is, the eyes; or the side of the ship extracts the texture and adds the eyes." Yu Liang's brain was running fast, and there were not many words with "Xuan" as the voice. , coupled with the fact that it needs to be a common noun, there are only two possibilities left.

"Bow string... ship's side... um, that's right." Lao Du tried these two methods and nodded with satisfaction, "Then what? Another character, Du."

"Are there pigs in the zoo? If so, maybe the texture is extracted from pigs and then synthesized with soil." This time Yu Liang answered faster and more definitely, because there are fewer synthesis options for the "blocking" character .

"Not bad." Lao Du successfully lit up the gray "block" characters on the page, feeling happy in his heart. This not only meant that he could use these two characters, but also that he had mastered the method of producing these two characters.

The effects of these two characters are good, and the raw materials are also very common. He can buy enough materials and synthesize enough characters before leaving the zoo.

As long as he doesn't meet "it", he is safe in this zoo.

"Okay, now you give me the 'cancel' character first, and then I will give you the key." Yu Liang said in a deep voice, "I can't completely believe you yet."

"Okay." Lao Du shrugged. In his opinion, this was completely unnecessary. If he wanted to break the contract, he could just kill Yu Liang after getting the key. There was no need for so many tedious procedures.

But since it was Yu Liang's request, there was no need for him to get into trouble at such a critical moment. Getting the key smoothly was more important than anything else.

"Trading characters need to be within five steps. Don't worry, I won't take the opportunity to hurt you." Lao Du approached and opened his own page and donated the "disappear" character to Yu Liang.

Yu Liang also opened the page and chose to receive the "dismissal" characters sent by Lao Du, but what he didn't expect was that even the donated characters needed to be unlocked.

Of course, he witnessed the entire process of synthesizing this character, so he easily unlocked it and put it into the character slot for use.

As soon as he accepted the characters, he tried to use the "cancel" characters to unlock the effect of the "blind" characters.

【Cannot offset】

All I received was a cold reply.

The "blind" character has fully taken effect and cannot be offset by the "cancel" character.

If you want to cancel, you should type the "cancel" character at the same time that Lao Du typed the "blind" character.

It's a pity that he had not yet obtained the "elimination" character at that time.

It is precisely for this reason that Lao Du gave him the "elimination" character, because Lao Du knew that even if he gave it to him, he would still be blind.

As long as you are blind, there is no threat.

"Key." Lao Du reminded, his voice was very calm, but he knew that this was just his appearance. In fact, every inch of his muscles was trembling for the coming relief.

"I hope you can keep your promise." Yu Liang threw the key in the direction of Lao Du's voice. He had no nostalgia for the key because he had already got what he wanted.

——

key

Name: key

Texture: metal

Note: It has the ability to open any "lock". Of course, only for the first time.

The moment he grabbed the key, Lao Du chose to "check" without hesitation. The result made him very satisfied. Yu Liang did not lie to him. This was the key that allowed him to leave the zoo.

Lao Du carefully put away the keys. He even set aside a special item slot for this purpose. After doing all this, he once again set his sights on Yu Liang.

never mind.

He felt that Yu Liang was lucky.

Because he is in a good mood now, and most of the time he is a person who keeps his promises. The only thing that makes him feel a little regretful is that he will not be able to see Yu Liang soon.

It would be a beautiful thing if every ghost story world could have a guy like this who could both analyze characters and obtain keys.

It's a pity that Yu Liang is just a blind man now. There is no possibility for a blind man to leave the zoo alive unless he has a second key, but it is impossible, because there is only one sun on the ceiling of the sun exhibition, so there must be only one moon.

Lao Du lowered his body and lifted several bear traps near Yu Liang. This was not recycling. The synthesis process of bear traps was irreversible. Once they were generated, he could only remove them and let them disappear.

If possible, he was willing to make Yu Liang feel more relaxed when he left. Today's harvest made him willing to do more useless things.

"Lao Du."

Lao Du heard Yu Liang call him, just like when he lived in the visitor center before, Yu Liang would call him this way when he needed help.

Looking up at Yu Liang, he didn't respond and continued to do his own thing.

The image of himself returning to the present world had already appeared in his mind.

Although he has been living alone and his real life is not very good, after staying in the zoo on the side of this mysterious ring for so long, he really needs to have a good sleep.

etc.

Have you ever heard the sound of footsteps?

Why can Yu Liang face his direction? !

Suddenly, alarm bells rang in Lao Du's heart.

He is a hunter, a hunter who comes and goes from the mountains. It is impossible for a hunter to let the sound of footsteps full of flaws sound, because it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the prey.

He hadn't spoken since the beginning, and Yu Liang hadn't tapped the ground with his blind stick, so why could Yu Liang face his direction and call his name?

coincide?

No, he never believed in coincidences.

"Broken." A voice sounded so soft that it was inaudible. It came from Yu Liang's mouth and reached Lao Du's ears.

"What!?" Lao Du looked back at Yu Liang in shock, and a golden character hit his face.

At this time, Yu Liang had finished releasing the characters. He took a few steps back and got out of the five-step range of Lao Du.

He would not give Lao Du a chance to fight back before his death.

"Broken? Broken." Lao Du murmured the name of the character. He watched his body break apart bit by bit, and something called vitality quickly dissipated from his body.

As his vision gradually narrowed, he finally saw clearly a white chess piece hanging on Yu Liang's waist.

The word "MU" is engraved on it in regular script.

He could recognize the chess piece, which was very similar to Yu Liang's novice mission reward chess piece "horse", except that the "horse" was brown and it was white.

The change in color is generally due to texture extraction, so it should be the "wood" texture that has been extracted.

So that's the "phase" piece.

"Mutually"?

Eyes, eyes.

Lao Du laughed.

He rarely smiled, and this was his last laugh.

Why don't some people understand it? Here, Yu Liang extracted the texture of "wood" from "Xiang" and found a thing to synthesize it, such as "oak" with "elephant", and the remaining "eye" became the "eye" chess piece that provides vision. , has nothing to do with the "eliminate" character. The "eliminate" character is obtained just so that the "broken" typed will not be offset by Lao Du.
