The author's diary of ghost stories

"Thirteen, thirteen, thirteen, thirteen."

The paper man standing on the street opposite the school gate was counting out of boredom, but he did not keep counting down, but stubbornly repeated the number "thirteen".

It was already noon, and the bell for the end of get out of class came from Flatland's Second High School, followed by the melodious music that represented lunch time, which made him hungry.

This is not an exaggeration. He is indeed hungry. The music effect of Flat Country High School is indeed strong. This is not only a connection between hearing and vision, but also a connection between smell and taste.

At least now he was indeed very hungry.

"Forget it, it's time to have lunch as usual. Those who can run out have probably already come out, and the rest may have started to dry and are ready to be made into specimens." His eyes were always staring in the direction of the school gate, but What really worked was his ears. He couldn't tell how many players had successfully escaped from this school with his eyes alone.

Yes, he was counting how many survivors there were.

There were about fifty to seventy paper figures who entered the school in the morning. This data was not very accurate because the surrounding environment was in a mess at that time and he could not count it accurately. However, the number of players who escaped from the school now is accurate.

Thirteen people.

Needless to say, the players who entered the pioneer version were still capable, and thirteen people were able to escape from such a terrible situation.

No, maybe fourteen people?

At the beginning, a guy with a portable bell seemed to run out. He must be a player. He didn't believe that anyone in this school would dare to skip school so openly.

It's a pity that the fun is over, so when we return to reality, the next road will definitely not be easy.

Flatland will launch a wanted search for the "Paper Man" in a short period of time. Unless the remaining players flee to the far north, they will be in danger at all times.

Aze thought with some regret, but he only regretted for a while and then stopped, because he still wanted to share some regrets with the compatriots who died in the morning.

Although the cause of the disaster was their own stupidity.

He and this group of players came together, and they all appeared in polygonal families conducting upgrade experiments.

Of course, Aze's choice was different from that of most players. He immediately kidnapped two adult figures in the polygon family, and then obtained the general situation of the country from the student figures through superb interrogation skills.

As a student, your understanding of the general situation of the country is much greater than that of your parents, but at the same time this understanding will be more ideal.

After briefly understanding the two-dimensional world view, Aze asked this guy about the situation nearby. After learning that this residential area could be regarded as a "school district room" in a sense, he extended his claws to his classmates.

At his classmate's home, Aze collected more useful clues, and he also discovered a dead paper man body in the family's drawing cell.

It's the player.

Aze, who had several experiences in pioneering the game, quickly concluded that players like them had landed in the homes of these polygonal students for the purpose of "upgrading" experiments.

Combined with the specific curriculum arrangement and world view, an interesting speculation appeared in his mind, which was the massacre of "paper figures" taking place in the school today.

He knew very well that among the players participating in the pioneer game, there were no novices and no fuel-efficient lamps, so they were likely to do anything to quickly become "superiors".

Nowadays, players have not unlocked any abilities and can only rely on their own minds. Then a three-dimensional world view that is more advanced than the two-dimensional world will become their signature.

In this way, this massacre against the Paper Man is completely traceable.

As long as one-third of the player base thinks about spreading the three-dimensional world view, the butcher knife of Flatland will inevitably be raised.

This is not a civilized country.

Aze smiled slightly, all this was within his expectation, that's why he came here early to watch the fun.

Under the disguise of loose powder and a portable bell, his demeanor and appearance were different from those paper figures, so Ling Xing, who sat on the street from morning to noon without a security guard, realized that it turned out that the alley near the school was there. A paper figure stood watching.

Aze thought of Yu Liang, but he wasn't too worried because he only needed to think about it a little more deeply.

Could it be that someone really could fall for this trick?

No way, right?

In such a country where classes and ideas are completely solidified, there is no way anyone would want to use a three-dimensional worldview to spread the truth, use the contradiction between triangles and polygons to provoke revolution, and extract huge profits from it, right?

Aze couldn't help but smile. He was sure that some people in the player community must think so, but he knew clearly that this was impossible.

As a "loser" who has repeatedly launched big events in dungeons, he can be said to be experienced on this road, so at this time, the prototype of a plan has already appeared in his mind.

Revolution in an ideal state may not be unfeasible, it just needs to start with a simple detail.

An interesting detail.

——

After two hours of escaping, Yu Liang had arrived at the outskirts of the city. It was not until the brightness of the surrounding lines became extremely dark that he felt relieved and stopped.

In a two-dimensional world, you will always be surrounded by lines. The only difference is the brightness.

The darker the brightness, the further away the lines are from you.

This situation now means that there are neither two-dimensional creatures nor buildings nearby, only large open spaces, which are the characteristics of the suburbs.

Yu Liang, who escaped from the school, did not run north in the direction of north gravity. On the contrary, he chose to flee south.

The current Flatland believes that the paper people are all sent from the Far North, so they will definitely strengthen the border defense on the northern border and strictly restrict access. Running north now is tantamount to throwing yourself into a trap.

And what's the use of escaping from Flatland?

They are not spies sent by the Far North. For the sake of peaceful relations between the two countries, how can the Far North protect paper people like them who don't know where they come from?

Even if he escaped to the far north, he would just be hunted in another place.

It's better to hide in Flatland and wait for the opportunity, and think about everything in the long term.

Thinking of this, Yu Liang was also very helpless and was helpless with the current copy of Ghost Story.

You say it's scary. Until now, he has never seen the power of monsters. He has never seen any monsters (if normal two-dimensional creatures are not monsters). You say it's not scary. It's less than a day. In a short period of time, he witnessed the death of dozens of players.

Just so easily, the experienced high-gradient players died one after another, without any ripples. Dozens of players were dropped without making a sound.

What does this feel like?

It's like a group of time travelers in the main god's space entering an infinite dungeon. The introduction talks about the outbreak of the zombie apocalypse, but it turns out that the apocalypse has not yet broken out. A group of time travelers died at the hands of local gangsters because they ate two bowls of powder without paying. On.

There is always a feeling that I can't get over it.

Even Yu Liang himself was like this. If he hadn't reacted quickly, sold his teammates promptly, and waited for the people from the security office to completely block the door, he might have become one of the Paper Man Chuan Chuan Xiang.

This time is no different from the flesh and blood planet. If you die, you will really die.

So is there any way to break the situation now?

Yu Liang abandoned his distracting thoughts, settled down and began to think about this issue.

Flatland's wanted search for Paper Man has probably entered the formal stage, and he will definitely not be able to show up at will in the future.

He has a portable bell, which is equivalent to "at first glance" similar to the polygon, but his appearance cannot withstand closer inspection, and it cannot withstand touch.

According to Regiel, in the poor people's triangular territory in the countryside, their touch skills are not very good, so they are not good at touching. They usually rely on hearing and vision to distinguish others.

Two-dimensional vision is inherently unreliable. After all, graphics look like line segments with different endpoint positions.

The countryside is not valued by those polygons in the city, so it may be suitable for hiding.

Secondly, there are two ways to avoid being wanted.

The first is that the original idea has gone all the way. As long as a coup and revolution are launched, the polygons will naturally have no intention of caring about paper people like them.

The second method is assimilation.

Since learning the knowledge of Flatland can increase wisdom, and increasing wisdom can gradually make it rounder, then through learning, it is possible for the paper man to become round and become an advanced figure that is close to a circle.

At that point, the wanted case against him would naturally end.

Unfortunately, neither method is easy to implement, and it cannot change his situation in a short time.

Yu Liang opened the page and looked at the first stage of the main mission again.

·Explore the dungeon scene, conduct basic analysis and record of the scene.

The tasks at this stage are not too difficult. Since there is no way to change the status quo, it is better to secretly complete the first stage of the main task of the dungeon.

Exploring the dungeon scenes and analyzing and recording each scene is basically urging him to travel thousands of miles.

The small nobles of this flat country don't have any reliable means of transportation, which shows that their country probably doesn't have any efficient means of transportation.

Thinking about it carefully, in a two-dimensional world, a world without even the concept of "ground", it is indeed difficult to increase the movement speed.

There are no wheels, and there is no friction reduction. It seems that it can only rely on those irregular figures like oxen and horses to pull the round cart.

In this ancient time without power devices, transportation was closely related to the land area. The slow speed of transportation basically meant that the land area was small, so Yu Liang planned to go around the entire country.

By recording and analyzing the characteristics of each region in Flatland, you might be able to complete the first phase of the mission.

As long as the alienated profession can be unlocked, the entire Flatland mission will be much easier. After all, the ghost stories in Flatland seem to be infrequent. The influence of the power of ghost stories is minimal and does not interfere with the lives of two-dimensional creatures.

But this is what worries Yu Liang. So far, this copy has not shown any ghost talk power.

Could it be that Kaitan World made a mistake?

There are no origin stories in this world?

As a pioneering version, it is possible that there are no root ghost stories in the dungeon. Otherwise, what would these pioneering version players be doing?

Isn't it just to understand the situation in this copy?

With such a simple copy, even Yu Liang couldn't feel the power of ghost stories. If there really was no source of ghost stories, then the world of ghost stories would be too unsatisfactory.

Obviously, this means that the source of the ghost stories in this copy is extremely hidden. It has almost erased all traces of its own existence, and has not triggered too many ghost stories.

Compared with those root monsters who show their power unscrupulously, the root monsters who know how to hide themselves seem to be more difficult to deal with.

Because Yu Liang’s mission is to find Him, observe Him, and study Him.

People no longer want to show up, but players still keep coming. Isn't this looking for a fight?

Forget it, don't think too much, let's try traveling around Flatland first. Maybe we can find the missing Xu Cixi and the adventurer on the way.

Yu Liang made up his mind, so he continued to move towards the south. There was no transportation much faster than walking in this flat country, and he was probably the first player to leave the city, so other cities should not know "Paper Man" yet. "Wanted.

Let’s go to the next city and find the map first.

To Yu Liang's expectation, Flatland seemed to be smaller than he imagined. It only consisted of three main cities and dozens of small villages surrounding the cities, which made up the entire Flatland.

The names of the three cities are all in the style of the Flat Kingdom, namely "Hexagonal City", "Lingcheng" and "Round City". The city where Yu Liang just arrived was called Lingcheng.

Since checkpoints were set up at the entrances and exits of each city, Yu Liang only entered the circular city once after leaving Lingcheng. When he realized that the wanted manhunt had begun, he secretly left the city and wandered outside the city.

Most of the villages outside the city are triangles, and occasionally there are equilateral triangles or quadrilaterals, and their touch skills are very poor, so Yu Liang is hiding in XZ, and it is not easy to discover the identity of the paper person from these shapes.

Because he was wearing a portable bell, even if he was touched, the triangles would only think that he was an irregular figure raised by a wealthy family, instead of directly recognizing his identity as a paper person, and escorted him to the police station and reported him .

With the help of his words, Yu Liang could easily get the oval-shaped low-grade food from the village painter. It was not delicious, but at least he could feed himself.

One of the special things about the two-dimensional world is that it is not too uncomfortable to sleep in the open air, because Yu Liang's rest is to "stand". He can rest by casually finding a wall, and then sneakily get some food from other people's houses. Make do with the day.

The only uncomfortable thing is that there are very few schools in these villages, and the teachers in the schools are only relatively "erudite" quadrilaterals, which cannot make Yu Liang gain much wisdom at all.

After a week, his body has only become rounded by a few degrees, and this is because of the insights he gained from traveling thousands of miles.

Yu Liang was not in a hurry, because from the moment Paper Man was fully wanted, he realized that this dungeon was likely to be a protracted battle, and he needed to take a long-term approach and proceed slowly.

There is no need to rush, he has already seen the consequences of being clever but being misled by cleverness.

until……

On this day a strange triangle appeared in the village.

A triangle composed of "red", "blue" and "green" respectively.

"Haha, this is the dyeing that is super popular in big cities recently. How about it? Isn't it very fashionable? And you can recognize my front and back at a glance, and you can also quickly know my shape and degree." Made up of three colors The triangle stood proudly at the head of the village and showed it to everyone.

Yu Liang in the corner looked at it shining in the sun, thoughtfully.

color?
