Weird talk author drags the diary

Chapter 653 This copy does have a way out

As Yu Liang stopped, the surrounding grass, trees, soil and rocks seemed to hold their breath, waiting for the results of Yu Liang's thoughts.

A breeze blew slowly, carrying the strong smell of blood from the center of the island to the wasteland where Yu Liang was. Similarly, this breeze also brought a team of barrel men singing folk songs.

This group of barrel men, with fresh blood dripping from their bodies, jumped over happily and easily, leaving a bloody trail.

"New guy! Take my whip!" The barrel man at the front had the sharpest eyes. He saw Yu Liang standing between the paper man and the two grass infant mechas from a distance. A "V"-shaped smile that was so distorted that it filled most of his face appeared on his face. He pulled down a string of various bloody genitals from the neck of the head on his barrel, and waved it in the air while laughing wildly, and rushed out like a cheetah.

Seeing this, the other bucket men followed suit, holding cheap knives or other things in their hands, and rushed towards Yu Liang. Among them was even a bucket man who was holding his own intestines. His bucket seemed to have been cut open by something, and a solid-liquid mixture was leaking out, dripping all the way.

The state of each bucket person is different, but the same thing is that they are all very happy and they all enjoy such indulgence.

Judging from the running speed of the leading bucket man, he was obviously much faster than the other bucket men and even crazier. It didn't take long for him to run within 150 meters in front of Yu Liang.

Yu Liang ignored him and was still immersed in his own thoughts. The Caoying Mecha beside him raised the bone machine gun and started firing three rounds in a regular burst.

Each "da da da" can easily kill a barrel man. One bullet can knock him down, two bullets can completely destroy his ability to move, and then just turn the gun towards another barrel man.

It should be noted that the barrel people who have abilities similar to teleportation or the ability to transport objects, such as long-distance runners, are truly dangerous. After all, their blood is likely to infect normal people and cause them to lose their minds.

This special way of infection reminded Yu Liang of a very special comic book. Perhaps he had read the origin of the barrel man in the copy before. He did not think deeply about it, but he became very interested in the identity of his own created character.

Recalling the three days of the raft survival journey, he was very sure that it was his own personal experience, but now these memories have become a little vague, making him not know what exactly he had encountered.

If he is just a created character now, then where is the real Yu Liang?

Well, or maybe there is no real Yu Liang for the time being.

Yu Liang opened the page and looked at the four columns on the page. These things could prove his identity.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the account of the alienated profession is not logged in from a different location.

Sadly, it now looks like this may well be the truth.

No, now I am the real Yu Liang.

Yu Liang couldn't help but smile, echoing the bloody corpses in the wasteland.

He probably could understand the truth of some things. Originally, when he learned from the paper man about what happened to An Buchen in three days, he only put forward two possibilities.

One is that he was stuck for three days, and the "Yu Liang" that An Buchen saw during these three days was actually a fake Yu Liang, or perhaps a Yu Liang who was in some abnormal state.

Another possibility is that there were several flashbacks during these three days.

Judging from the information he had at the time, Yu Liang believed that the former was more likely, but looking at it now...

In fact, there is another possibility, a possibility that he had never thought of at the time.

What An Buchen saw during those three days was not a fake Yu Liang, but the real Yu Liang.

The real Yu Liang has turned into a barrel man.

Yu Liang was turned into a barrel man by cheating in the early stage of entering the dungeon, and the Moon Butler also became a barrel man. In this stage, An Buchen knew that Yu Liang had become a barrel man, but this stage did not last too long.

Because the Moon Butler quickly restarted the backtracking, and An Buchen was separated from Yu Liang after encountering some special events, and she was not clear about the specific situation after the backtracking, so she asked those questions when she saw the paper man:
"Is Yu Liang still a barrel man now? Whose barrel does he grow on?"

This is not because An Buchen is crazy, but she is indeed in a sober state. However, it is difficult for her to judge whether she is still sober, which is related to the special mental state of the barrel man.

The spiritual stone she ate could restore her energy, but it also had some hallucinogenic side effects.

During those three days, the original Yu Liang must have done something, and the result was that there was no room for redemption, and he remained in the state of a barrel man.

The cheating Barrel Man Root can control who becomes the Barrel Man, and he chose Yu Liang. This is the biggest blow to the Haicheng Alliance that entered the dungeon this time.

An unstable Yu Liang...

Now Yu Liang thought of Xue Wubin, the "killing indiscriminately" in the strategy group's memory, and could not help but shrugged his shoulders. He probably knew what would happen.

For the Haicheng Alliance, this is an extremely terrifying thing.

However, Yu Liang at that time did not do nothing. At least the current Yu Liang is proof of this.

Yu Liang wasn't sure what that guy had done, but judging from the results...

Yu Liang created Yu Liang.

A Yu Liang who has the Yu Liang writer account, a Yu Liang who has Yu Liang’s memories (except for those three days), a Yu Liang who restarts in a full state.

The Yu Liang who appears three days later may not be Yu Liang, but he is Yu Liang for this copy, and the current Yu Liang is also willing to do what a real Yu Liang should do.

With Yu Liang's abilities, Yu Liang's personality, and Yu Liang's memories, isn't this the person who is Yu Liang?

"Hehe, I seem to understand why the barrel man didn't kill me directly after he found out that I resurrected the barrel man Xiao Si." Yu Liang laughed in silence. The question he had been thinking about suddenly had an answer.

Some previous doubts were also connected together.

There was no point in killing him.

If one Yu Liang falls, thousands and millions of Yu Liangs will grow up, because the barrel man Yu Liang hiding in the darkness has mastered a method to mass-produce Yu Liangs.

Through [Creation], [Confession], [Memory Transplant] and the special ability of creating people, Barrel Man Yu Liang is equivalent to having the ability to restart repeatedly. He can continuously create Yu Liang, set Yu Liang's personality and memory, and then transfer his alienated profession to the other party.

This created a real Yu Liang who was brave enough to explore the world of ghost stories.

It doesn’t matter that Yu Liang is dead. The world of ghost stories is not like some Sima Internet websites that automatically recycle accounts after users die, regardless of whether the account is of high value or commemorative significance.

Once Yu Liang who is exploring the copy dies, the alienated professional account belonging to the writer will be automatically transferred back to the barrel man Yu Liang.

but……

What about the primordial spirit and the conscious spirit?

The shadow "Zhi" has not been seen so far, so it is impossible to be sure that she is still in the shadow, but the soul and the consciousness...

Wait a minute, how can I be sure that my primordial spirit and conscious spirit are in my body?
Yu Liang was suddenly startled and realized the mistakes he had made all along.

Since he cannot contact the shadow "zhi", it means that he has no way to enter the ventricle to see the primordial spirit Yu Liang and the conscious spirit Yu Liang, so the primordial spirit and the conscious spirit are also unable to determine his whereabouts.

So what was it that made me feel that way?
Is it that kind of "inspiration" that is hidden deep in your heart?

"It seems a bit bad." Yu Liang looked at the Caoying Mecha that cleaned up the current bloody bucket man. Although it was a sunny afternoon, he still felt a sense of crisis that made him sweat.

He subconsciously thought that it was the expectation from the female ghost soul Yu Liang, but he ignored the most basic caution.

Come to think of it, who the hell would doubt their own conscience?
Do you really think you are Li Huowang?
What if the inspiration didn’t come from the soul Yu Liang?

But...

The origin of the barrel man?

Yu Liang couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of bitter saliva filled with fear. He could now understand the evil taste at the root of this bucket man.

A barrel man with many abilities, his ability to play with players' psychology is simply incredible.

Even the Moon in the Moon Community is not so boring, because the Moon is still a little arrogant. He only makes rules to restrict players, and is only interested in players who have the root ghost stories.

The roots of today's barrel people are even worse.

Would He actually pretend to be the original spirit to give inspiration and hints?

It is conceivable that the few inspirations He threw out before must be very effective, or at least able to bring positive feedback, just like bait to lure gamblers into the trap.

As for why Yu Liang was able to use the power of the "illusion" rule...

Who can guarantee that the barrel man himself has not stolen half of the soul's power?
Provide a solution first, and then let the barrel man show an obvious reaction. This will greatly increase Yu Liang's trust in his own soul.

After all, it is impossible for the soul to deceive him. Once he finds that the ideas provided by the soul are correct, he will gradually give up thinking deeply about the meaning behind some behaviors and be tripped by traps where attention is really needed.

This is like entering a gambling venue. The rules are set by the Barrel Man Root, the outcome of the game is also controlled by the Barrel Man Root, and the dog-headed military advisor beside him is actually disguised by the Barrel Man Root...

The results speak for themselves.

If this was really the inspiration released by the Root of the Barrel Man to lure him, then is it possible that His deeper purpose has been revealed?

Yu Liang frowned slightly and began to recall the origins of those inspirations.

These inspirations are not all short-term, there are also some that are like long-term tasks.

such as……

The one that connects the [blurred boundaries] of metaverse designers and [overstepping one’s authority] of writers?
What's wrong with this?

Or is this bucket of people tempting me to upgrade the characters I created?
The purpose was to let me upgrade the abilities of other created characters, but the result was that I discovered that I was also a created character?
Yu Liang opened his own page and had a vague guess.

A creative ability cannot be enhanced at a higher level after it has been enhanced at a lower level, which means that the limit of the creative ability will be fixed forever.

Then if some important abilities are enhanced at a low level, it is equivalent to "ruining the future."

Although the skills of the created characters are powerful enough in themselves and will not degenerate after low-level enhancements, from a ceiling point of view it is definitely better for all creation abilities to undergo special enhancements.

But this requires...

There are so many T1 players serving as materials that he can’t even count them now.

At worst, it will take the tongues of many, many T1 players to make up a "live" character.

The world of ghost stories cannot have a breeding ranch like in the game to breed T1 players in batches as materials for upgrading and strengthening.

In other words, there will inevitably be some insignificant alienated abilities that can only enjoy intermediate or low-level enhancements.

Is this what the Barrel Man roots are guiding me to do?
He wants me to strengthen some of my abilities first...

These abilities originally had a higher talent ceiling and could even reverse the outcome, but a low-level enhancement might cut off this hope.

It's like a certain bucket man Yu Liang lent him his precious account to play, but he accidentally destroyed the account. In this way, the account that falls into the hands of the bucket man Yu Liang may not be able to counter the source of the bucket man.

Yes, that should be it. This is most likely the mistake that the Barrel Man Root really wants to lead me to make. He wants me to destroy this writer's alienated professional account.

But can a simple enhancement destroy it?
Can a simple enhancement completely eradicate their hopes of a comeback?
Would a certain ability be an important part of the causal trigger theory?
As Yu Liang flipped through the ability panels of each character created in the universe, he felt a headache.

Now he is a little afraid to upgrade, because he is not sure whether the ability he chooses is the truly critical one.

There is no doubt that some seemingly useless skills can become super powerful abilities after modifying a few descriptions.

Suddenly he had a headache, and for a moment he no longer felt confused about the identity of the character he had created.

Although this may indicate that he is not actually the real Yu Liang, but just a product created by a certain barrel man Yu Liang, what does it matter?

It was as if the fairy in the barrel man state had prepared the boat for him wholeheartedly, just as the moon barrel man who did not know the whole story had prepared an escape route for him.

Everyone is working hard for "Yu Liang", everyone is fighting to fight against the barrel man, how could he give up all this because of his identity doubts?
What matters is not who I am, that is ultimately just other people's opinion. What matters is who I think I am, that is my opinion.

Now, I am Yu Liang, and I will only do what Yu Liang should do.

Indeed, I would think so, and the reason I work so hard for Yu Liang might be just because Yu Liang, the barrel man, has set up a character for me that puts teamwork above all else, so that I will not run away with his alienated professional account, nor will I directly sell the account to the barrel man Genyuan, but so what?

All the decisions I make are my own. If I make choices against my will in order to rebel against something, that is not a manifestation of free will.

Yu Liang breathed a sigh of relief. He was still the GM, so he had to continue fighting against those rapists, dismemberment maniacs, sadists, racists and extremists.

At least, now the painstaking efforts of the barrel man can prove one thing.

This copy does have a way out.
