The author's diary of ghost stories

"The whole city..." Yu Liang was startled. The information revealed in her mouth frightened him.

With a heavy face, he followed her intention and asked: "You mean, that city once existed in this world, and so did Changhong Zoo, but because someone spread your news, they were all forgotten?"

"Yes." Her face remained calm, "This is my characteristic, and I can't stop it from happening."

Yu Liang nodded, but his heart was already in turmoil.

Lao Jiang once told him that people who recognize "it" and eventually disappear will be forgotten by everyone, but he never thought that the scope of forgetting could reach such a terrifying scale as the entire city.

If only people all over the world recognized "it"...

Well, if that's the case, it seems like nothing will happen. People all over the world will recognize "it", maybe at the cost of being forgotten by the entire universe?

It doesn't seem to matter. At most, aliens can't find the existence of the earth?

"What about now?" Yu Liang asked, "Now that I understand what you said..."

She smiled and waved her hands: "There is no problem now. I am no longer it. I can completely control myself."

"All along, I just wanted to become a human and have fun in this world. I didn't expect that so many things would happen." She sighed, seeming to lament the impermanence of the world.

Fine.

Yu Liang felt helpless, but he would not think that she was innocent. After all, everything that happened in the zoo happened under its hint or tacit approval. Now that she is willing to stay here obediently, the fundamental reason is her and Yu Liang have common interests and thus achieve some kind of balance.

"So when can you take me out to play?" She glanced at him, "I know from some tourists that people like you will enter a new world of ghost stories every once in a while. You are the same, maybe. He will die in the next strange story."

"If I die, won't you also disappear with me?" Yu Liang felt something was wrong, because there was some expectation in her tone when she said these words.

"Huh?" She was stunned when she heard this. Yu Liang's words confused her, "Why do you think I will live and die with you? If you die in reality, I will indeed be very troubled. But if You died in another ghost story world, I will break away from your existence, and then occupy that ghost story world and become the king there, that's all."

She couldn't help but laugh out loud, with a sinister smile: "You don't think that being unable to use the Kaidan characters in the Kaidan world is a weakening of your strength? On the contrary, it's protecting you."

Yu Liang swallowed and silently wrote it down in his mind.

Sure enough, she should be like this.

He must not be fooled by the appearance she showed.

She is the source of Kaidan who makes countless people fear and suffer. We should not have any expectations for her.

"I don't have money yet. When I make money, I will take you out to play." Yu Liang finally had to make this promise

She turned her gaze to the TV, "I just saw what you said in a TV series. It was said by a gambler."

Yu Liang recalled what he said just now and found that it really sounded like that.

He glanced at the TV. It seemed that the channel had been changed, so the show on the TV was now Water Margin.

From Siheyuan to Water Margin, well, she doesn't seem to have any preference, she just chooses whatever she sees.

"Then he was hit by a car and died." She continued, speaking frankly.

Yu Liang: "..."

Okay, okay, I understand.

"But I can help you in a small way." She continued, "I will teach those paper figures some interesting things."

Interesting stuff?

sounds good.

Yu Liang nodded. These paper figures were all in his universe. Everything they learned would be shown on the character cards. He didn't have to worry about what she would do.

The relationship between the two is still cooperative for the time being. There is no benefit to the paper people in the universe. It is better to learn some skills from her. Now that their power has become stronger, they should be able to help him with some housework.

Although their bodies are still very small now, Yu Liang remembers how they were when they first appeared in the staff dormitory. They could wrap themselves in paper shells and become human-sized "paper figures."

However, their strength is still much lower than that of adult men, and most of the time they still need to rely on sneak attacks to complete tasks.

So a large group of dejected paper figures slowly moved towards her, the line was sparse and they felt uneasy.

When she saw these paper figures, her eyes flashed with amusement, and she suddenly found that these paper figures were more interesting than she had imagined.

Although they are of a very low level and are so weak that even ordinary tourists can easily handle them, they are embryos that are more "pure" than humans and can be shaped into any shape they want.

Yu Liang left the bedroom door open so that even if he was typing, he could still see what she was doing to the paper people in the living room.

Fortunately, his apartment was small, and the sofa in the living room was close to his bedroom, so even if she sat outside, she would still be within five steps of Yu Liang and would not disappear suddenly.

After doing all this, he returned to the desk and turned on the computer.

Similar derivative works such as "Campus Rules" and "Hospital Rules" have appeared on the forum, which also made Yu Liang smile knowingly.

There are quite a lot of imitated works, and the response has been very good.

Take a break, relax, and then write again.

Yu Liangliang thought to himself, then opened his phone and casually browsed short videos while contacting Li Huachao.

"Do you want to go to the zoo now?" he asked.

Li Huachao answered without hesitation: "Of course, let me in quickly, I'm just waiting for your words!"

"Okay." Yu Liang nodded.

After Li Huachao entered the dungeon, he could no longer play the hunter profession, but that didn't matter. He wouldn't enter the next dungeon of Kaitan yet, and he might not even be able to leave the door recently.

Oh, by the way, I seemed to have said that I wanted to keep fit, maybe go out for a run or something.

today……

I'm very busy today.

Yes, forget it and start from tomorrow.

Yu Liang had no psychological burden and pushed things like fitness to tomorrow.

He is quite a homebody, and he has no problem staying at home every day. Moreover, he needs to write a book recently, so he doesn't have time to go out for a walk.

Open the page and drag the created character card Li Huachao to the scene card "Changhong Zoo" in [Universe].

The picture that came to mind suddenly showed Li Huachao's mean look. Blue data flowed around him, and this series of data finally floated into the scene card.

Li Huachao came to the zoo again. He stretched his muscles and smiled toward the sky.

Although Yu Liang was not around and he couldn't see Yu Liang, he knew that Yu Liang could see him now.

"Well, it's better to let Huo Huo and those weird creatures go." Yu Liang nodded with satisfaction.

After throwing the character card into the scene card, Yu Liang also discovered that there was an additional "record" button on the scene card. It seemed to be able to record all of Li Huachao's wonderful adventures, recording the story from the third-person perspective of Li Huachao.

Very good, this way Yu Liang doesn't have to watch Li Huachao all the time to see what he is doing. He only needs to flip through the documentary after Li Huachao comes back. It can even be watched at twice the speed, which can be said to be very considerate.

After doing all this, Yu Liang also lowered his head to look at the screen of his mobile phone, casually scrolling through short videos.

"The full text and analysis of the complete version of the Zoo Rules Ghost Story. Just yesterday, a post in the player forum was ranked as the number one hot search overnight..."

Um?

Is there a video narrated version already available?

Yu Liang blinked, somewhat admiring the speed with which these short video bloggers chased the popularity.

He looked at the number of likes and saw that it had reached 30,000, and the number of comments had reached a terrifying 20,000.

Generally speaking, these kind of videos with a lot of comments are all extremely controversial topics. To put it more simply, this kind of video is definitely provoking a conflict between two groups, causing a war of words to earn traffic.

But this video is obviously not like that. In other words, can it have such a large discussion based solely on the quality of the rules and weird talk?

Yu Liang crossed over, but he didn't watch the two short videos before they were about rules and strange stories.

"How weird are the strange rumors about zoo rules forwarded by tens of thousands of people? Xiaoyou will let you know today..."

Uh, another one.

It feels like the heat is rising faster than expected.

How about trying to publish the book now?

An idea occurred to Yu Liangliang. What she just said also made him realize that the task of writing books to make money was imminent, and Dian Ma's books generally had a new release period of nearly a month.

You have to make money as early as possible, forget about depositing manuscripts or anything like that.

After all, he has several years of experience in writing physical books. After preparing the outline, he should not write out of the main theme. In some places that do not require artistic processing, he only needs to faithfully write the things Li Huachao did. .

Don't worry about the subsequent plot being messed up, after all, he will never write a story that is divorced from the protagonist's character.

As for depositing manuscripts...

Anyway, it will probably be postponed or something, so there is no point in saving so much.

So Yu Liang checked it a few times to make sure there were not too many problems in the details, and then decided to publish the book early.

He entered his identity information into Writer's Assistant, hesitated, and entered "Yu" in the pen name column. This was the pen name he used when writing his first physical book, and it meant a lot to him.

He always had to face reality. No matter what the results of this book were, he didn't want to open a vest anymore.

This was his first time writing an online article, so he still chose "Yu" as his pen name.

There is absolutely no need for the great master to burden himself with anything.

Yu Liang clicked "Create Book" and then saw a prompt box pop up on the screen.

【Your nickname has been taken】

Yu Liang: "..."

Okay, it can actually be taken by someone else.

So Yu Liang had no choice but to add a prefix in front of "Yu".

"The ruthless code machine Yu".

Well, this is more in line with his temperament.

Book title: "The Bizarre Adventure of Li Huachao"

Editorial Team: Suspense Team

Judging from the title alone, the rhythm of the book is straight forward, without any highlights. On the contrary, it makes people confused, and it is easy for people to mistakenly think that this is a fan-themed work of a certain Japanese comic.

However, Yu Liang decided on the title simply because he was happy.

Discussions about strange stories about zoos in forums have topped the list of popular searches, and there is also a trend of strange stories about rules on some short video websites. Under the premise of such widespread dissemination, he does not need to follow too many rules.

There must be a lot of people coming to read the book, but the key is whether the plot can be used to retain them and become a potential readership group.

With this kind of volume of traffic, even if only 5% is retained, it is extremely terrifying, so Yu Liang does not have to worry about the title and introduction of the book, he only needs to write the story well.

After posting the book, Yu Liang opened the forum again and replied on the latest floor.

"Today, Dianma Reading released a book, which is based on the strange story of the zoo. The title is "The Bizarre Adventures of Li Huachao". Interested friends can come and take a look."

After posting this post, Yu Liang quit the forum again. Although this sentence appeared on more than 10,000 posts, most people who read this kind of post would choose to "just read the original poster" and read the full text posted by the original poster first. .

In this case, you should naturally see the latest first floor he posted.

Moreover, this "weird story about rules" has already started to stir up some enthusiasm on the entire Internet, and there will always be people who mention the new book written by the original author who is studying at Dianma.

After doing all this, Yu Liang reopened the document and continued coding.

I have only written three chapters so far. The first two chapters basically only contain some hidden rules. In the third chapter, the protagonist Li Huachao really appears. The story framework is far from being developed. He still needs more efforts.

He sat in front of the computer for most of the day, and it wasn't until five o'clock in the afternoon that Yu Liang finally stretched and stood up to stretch his muscles.

When Yu Liang opened Writer Assistant, what he didn't expect was that in just one afternoon, there were hundreds of comments in the comment area of ​​the new book.

"I've read it, I can't sleep at night, please update it soon."

"If you have platinum capital, you will get a million dollars."

Well, all books can't escape "Lieless at Night" and "Platinum Money".

Yu Liang scrolled down a few lines.

"That's the feeling. It has to be written by the original author and it looks comfortable. Those rules and weird stories imitated by others always feel less interesting."

"I'll go, the writing is great, I look forward to it."

"Li Huachao...if he was turned into an animal, he must be Erha, right? That's right, right?"

"Fortunately, there is a protagonist like Li Huachao. Every time I am frightened and my heart trembles, he comes out to make me laugh. The evil god's zoo has become my world of fun!"

"Doesn't anyone think the name Li Huachao is a bit strange? Would anyone really like this kind of name?"

Yes, of course some people like it, at least Li Huachao himself quite likes it.

Yu Liang complained in his heart.

Most of the comments in the comment section were positive. He scrolled through them twice and found a few similar ones that were highly praised.

"Why hasn't this book been signed yet? I really want to reward it, but I can't reward it even if I don't sign the contract."

"Let's open a reward channel. It's free. I feel uneasy."

"Isn't this enough word count? Why haven't we signed a contract yet?"

However, Yu Liang is not in a hurry about signing the contract. The book has just been released today, so Dianma's editor may not be able to notice it.

He turned and looked outside the room to see what those paper figures were doing.

Then I saw a paper man more than two meters high beating a paper tiger more than three meters long.

…

Are they fighting tigers in Wusong?
