The author's diary of ghost stories

The two people in the darkness stopped at the same time. The corridor was very quiet, and each other's breathing could be heard clearly.

Yu Liang was not surprised by Xu Cixi's words. He had expected it before.

Compared with the zoo outside the game, there are so many beautiful things here.

It’s not surprising that more people indulge in an imaginary paradise than in a real hell.

"So are you ready to give up on those people? Your brother, your parents, and your friends." Yu Liang just asked calmly.

"Even if I'm not ready to give up, I can't return to reality." Xu Cixi's sigh came from the darkness, "I stayed in the zoo for three weeks. I know where that place is. No one can Out."

"I can." Yu Liang's answer was still calm, "I synthesized a key that can open the gate at the border and leave the zoo."

"What?" Xu Cixi was shocked, but then she refused to believe it, "No, it's impossible. If you have that kind of thing, why are you still here?"

"Because 'it' gave me the key, and 'it' wouldn't let me go so easily." Yu Liang said calmly.

"Why should it be given to you? No, then show me the key." Xu Cixi followed his words and asked, but suddenly she came to her senses and changed the subject.

Yu Liang was helpless: "In the inventory, the inventory in this game is locked, you should know that."

"Are you treating me like a three-year-old child? How could I believe this?" Xu Cixi naturally didn't believe it.

"Then you don't believe it." Yu Liang finally found the opportunity to take out his hand.

"You..." Xu Cixi wanted to say something else.

"I will not stay with you. I will return to reality and live a real life, even if I am downcast. This is just a false game, and I will not be trapped by it." Yu Liang answered quickly. He seemed to have understood Xu Ci. Xi has more to say.

"I..." Xu Cixi frowned slightly. What she wanted to say was interrupted by Yu Liang, so she decided to change it.

"You don't like me either. You live a very comfortable life in the role-player game, but at the same time you are also the most special, so you feel lonely, so you will have a sense of belonging to me who is also special." Yu Liang answered again , there was not much emotion in the words, "It's just a few hours of getting along. Even if we have experienced some dangerous or romantic things together, you should know that the suspension bridge effect is not love."

He paused and then continued: "I am not as powerful as you think, and you don't need to admire me. Women's lust is as instinctive as men's lust, and this almost beastly instinct is not love either."

A series of words made Xu Cixi a little confused. She wanted to pretend to be relaxed and say, "Don't be so sentimental," but she found that Yu Liang's words completely hit her heart. She opened her mouth but couldn't say anything. When I came out, there was only silence.

There was an irritability in her heart, and it didn't feel good to be seen through.

At the same time, she also had an inexplicable rebellious mentality. She just couldn't refute Yu Liang for a while. What Yu Liang said must be wrong.

"I may have said it a bit harshly, but you are an adult and you should understand what I mean." Yu Liang pressed the elevator button and turned his back to Xu Cixi, "I can take you out of here, and I want to take you out too. here."

"Okay." Xu Cixi behind her just agreed softly, as if all her strength had been exhausted.

She has lived here for nearly a month, and it took a lot of courage for her to make the decision to stay. After that, she still needs to constantly self-hypnotize herself to convince herself that staying is the right path.

But now, with just a few simple words from Yu Liang and the man's light promise, she was convinced.

Maybe it's true.

"Yes." Yu Liang heard the response behind him and nodded silently. He knew that what he said made sense.

The director said that "it" would turn people into animals according to a certain personality label. From then on, Yu Liang had been thinking about why "it" thought Xu Cixi was a hamster.

Rats are timid, and hamsters should be similar but different from them. After thinking about it, this is the only one left.

The hamster was locked in a cage forever, and Xu Cixi didn't want to leave the game, so she voluntarily stayed in the cage.

Meek and cowardly.

This was probably the label "it" put on her.

He felt he could subtly reverse this label.

It can be done.

Now that the most critical step has been taken, Xu Cixi is willing to follow him, which is a good sign.

"Ding——" The elevator door opened, and the long-lost light shone from the elevator, slightly dazzling.

Bottle of water?

Yu Liang looked at the floor of the elevator. He was a little surprised by the presence of the bottle of water.

Why is there a bottle of water?

When were you here?

etc!

What matters is not the water itself, but the shadow of the water!

The elevator that was supposed to be empty is no longer its restricted area. It may be hiding in the shadow of that bottle of water!

When he realized this, the shadow of the bottle of water began to spread rapidly in his direction, passing through his shadow and going behind him in just an instant.

Yu Liang suddenly realized something and turned around quickly. However, Xu Cixi's figure was gone, replaced by a large hamster on the ground the size of a human head.

The hamster froze on the spot. He looked down at himself and instinctively stretched out his paws to cover the private parts of his body. However, it took him a while to realize that he had no privacy at all, so he had to shout anxiously at Yu Liang. "squeak" sound.

But Yu Liang just looked at the hamster blankly.

Xu Cixi turned into a hamster.

She had obviously given up on the idea of ​​being cowardly, she should have gotten better.

It came here specifically to turn Xu Cixi into a hamster.

The process of humans becoming animals is irreversible.

These thoughts were swirling in Yu Liang's mind. He clenched his fists and all the muscles in his body were trembling uncontrollably. For the first time since he came to this zoo, he felt anger.

The undisguised malice of "it" made him angry.

It renders his efforts futile.

Sure enough, he shouldn't have any illusions about it.

Behind the hamster, what should have been a flat shadow floated up from the ground, gradually becoming three-dimensional and turning into a pure black hamster standing behind Xu Cixi.

Xu Cixi was frightened and wanted to run away in a hurry, but it was impossible for her to get rid of her own shadow. The dark shadow always followed her and imitated her movements.

"What on earth are you going to do?" Yu Liang's words were directed at "it", but it didn't reply. It just scurried back into the shadow like a frightened mouse and made no movement again.

He waited for a while, but there was still no movement from "it", so Yu Liang ignored it and asked Xu Cixi, "Can you still understand me?"

The hamster nodded.

He reached out and picked up the hamster and held it in his arms.

"It's okay, I will help you get back to your original state." Yu Liang seemed to be comforting her, but also admonishing himself.

It turned Xu Cixi into a hamster, but Yu Liang knew that it was coming for him.

The hamster nodded again in his arms, as if wanting to comfort Yu Liang, she patted Yu Liang's chest with her paws.

Yu Liang looked back at the principal's office, hesitated for a moment, and just held on to the diary in his hand without knocking on the door again.

There shouldn't be anything you can ask about the director.

One person and one mouse walked into the elevator, and Yu Liang decided to go back to the dormitory first. Lao Jiang was on duty today, and there was only one bed in the performance hall. They definitely couldn't live there.

"You'd better stay in your clothes, don't show your head, don't be discovered." Yu Liang opened his security jacket, then put the hamster in and zipped it up.

Although Xu Cixi is a large hamster, it is not exaggeratedly big. As long as Yu Liang stoops when walking, he can hide her well.

The night road was desolate, and the cold wind kept pouring in through Yu Liang's slightly opened collar. He felt that the hamster in his arms seemed to be moving, so he covered his collar with his hands.

He did make a promise, but when he really came to think about what to do, he got stuck.

The director also said that once a person is polluted and turns into an animal, it is irreversible.

If it still wants something from itself, there must be a way to restore Xu Cixi to her original state, but I don't know what exactly it wants to do.

Yu Liang tightened his clothes and quickened his pace. The staff dormitory soon appeared in front of him, but he looked around the entire dormitory building but could not find an open door.

The "C"-shaped dormitory building stood quietly in the dark night, with only a few lights on, and the whole building was sleeping.

It must be past two o'clock in the morning. Maybe there is a rule in the employee dormitory that the door is completely locked after two o'clock.

then what do I do?

He didn't even know his dormitory number. He originally wanted to go to the dormitory first and then look for his own dormitory, but now he can't even enter the dormitory building.

Wait a moment, this room seems empty.

Yu Liang walked around the dormitory building No. 1 again and looked into the dormitory from the balcony through the security window. He actually found an empty room.

He stepped forward and observed the anti-theft window. It was a common aluminum alloy frame and was fixed with expansion screws. It looked very strong.

Try to open it?

Or just go to the security room of the performance venue to deal with it all night?

After thinking for a moment, Yu Liang tried to break it open and take a look, but what he didn't expect was that the anti-theft window was much looser than expected. It could even be said to be fragile, as if it was made of paper.

What's the meaning?

He looked at the frame that he had torn off, feeling a little confused.

This is not made of paper. How can it open as soon as it is broken?

But now is not the time to delve into this issue. Yu Liang entered the balcony through the gap he opened, then opened the door and walked into the room.

Just as he thought, there was no one in the room at the moment. He turned back and locked the balcony door, then turned on the lights in the room.

Only the bed on the left has bedding, and the other beds are empty. It seems that only one person lives in this room.

Wait, this is my room?

He suddenly noticed the photo frame on his desk and couldn't help but laugh when he looked at his photo on it.

He actually managed to break open his own room, and he was pretty lucky to be able to stay here.

Yu Liang sat down on the bed, unzipped his clothes, took out the hamster in his arms and put it on the bed.

The hamster first looked around the room, and then blinked at Yu Liang. His chubby face looked very cute.

"Let's live here for the time being." Yu Liang said, "I will go look for it tomorrow and see if I can change you back."

"Ji?" The hamster tilted its head and let out a cry. She seemed to understand what Yu Liang was saying. She immediately shook her head, then stepped forward to grab Yu Liang's hand and shook it, as if to persuade Yu Liang not to take the risk. Find "it".

"I promised you, I must keep it." Yu Liang smiled, broke away from the hamster's paw, then stood up and walked to the door. He opened the door and looked out into the corridor.

There was only a green night light on in the corridor, and there was nothing else. Extreme silence enveloped the place. He raised his head and glanced at his house number. He still needed to write down his dormitory number.

107.

107? !

Yu Liang suddenly realized something and opened his eyes suddenly.

If he remembered correctly, outside the game, he entered the dormitory building through the security window of Room 107. He looked back at the security window with a large hole opened in the direction of the balcony, and instantly recalled it.

In other words, it was his room that he entered at that time?

Not only that, but was he the one who opened the security window that helped him enter the dormitory building now?

Yu Liang felt a little surprised in his heart. Various deeds seemed to indicate that the player's timelines inside and outside the game were connected, and what he did now would be revealed outside the game.

So……

How can these two time lines be connected?

His mind began to recall wildly, and he knew the answer lay in his memory.

The floor of Lao Jiang's room!
