Weird talk author drags the diary

Chapter 668 For the victory of the main timeline!
Two-dimensional me?

The quantity doesn't match?

What the hell is this cuckoo talking about?

Listening to the words of the cuckoo brought by the paper people, Yu Liang couldn't help but have a big question mark in his mind, but then he realized that this must be a very crucial clue.

Needless to say, the second-dimensional Yu Liang was right, and the sentence "the number doesn't match" directly made Yu Liang think of the rules about the barrel man, and that rule seemed to be related to the number of players entering the dungeon.

Damn, why didn’t you tell me such a crucial clue earlier?
Are you, a cuckoo, also trying to play the Riddler's tricks?

What Yu Liang hates most is people who clearly know the situation but don't tell him directly, forcing him to take a detour. When fighting against the root of the ghost story, this behavior is undoubtedly no different from suicide and is extremely stupid.

But now he didn't have time to worry about whether the damn bird was hiding something on purpose or had some other hidden secret (even if there was another hidden secret, it should be left to me to judge). Yu Liang quickly thought about the meaning of the words of the cuckoo in his mind.

"Release the 2D Yu Liang", this means that the 2D Yu Liang has always been under his control, he can control him, and he can release him whenever he wants...

You mean the shadow?

The two-dimensional Yu Liang was mentioned in Flatland. Since the three-dimensional players entered the dungeon world, their originally two-dimensional selves (referring to the shadows) were squeezed into the next layer, and the players became the two-dimensional part of Flatland.

From this point of view, the shadow is the two-dimensional part of the player under normal circumstances, there is no way around it.

So I want to release my shadow?

Yu Liang looked down at his feet, where there were a large number of shadows dancing like demons and monsters. They seemed extremely inconsistent with him, but he knew that these were his own shadows.

The shadow-devouring snake passed a large amount of shadows to him, adding to Miss Zhi's shadow villa. From then on, Yu Liang's shadow became a special existence that would cause a large amount of San value to be lost if looked at directly.

Inheriting Yu Liang’s identity and profession, did he also inherit Yu Liang’s shadow?
The current Yu Liang looked at his own chaotic shadow and couldn't help but think so in his heart. Now he still felt that he was most likely just a product of the barrel man Yu Liang.

Although he obtained everything that belonged to the identity of "Yu Liang", he was still a derivative in essence.

Of course, this does not mean that he will rebel against and betray the original barrel man Yu Liang. He will not want to forcibly replace the three-dimensional Yu Liang like the shadow Yu Liang. He knows that the people and things he loves are here, and he needs to work for their survival, not just for himself to monopolize the identity of "Yu Liang".

There are still so many Yu Liangs anyway, so what if there are more?

"How do I call out Shadow Yu Liang? I have no way to contact 'Zhi' now." Yu Liang stomped his feet, trying to wake Miss "Zhi" from her long sleep by stepping on the shadow, and then jump out angrily to call for an explanation.

Unfortunately, that didn't happen. Miss "Zhi" had been like a stagnant pool of water since she entered the copy. No matter how he fiddled with it, there would be no response.

Could it be that I am still missing a [作輥] stamp?
Yu Liang saw his blocked stamp column and made some assessment of the current situation.

Since strange stories such as "The Cuckoo" and "The Man Who Obeys Time" can appear, it is only natural that strange stories containing the [作伥] stamp can also appear on the cruise ship, right?

It's just a matter of time. When he completes this strange story again, he will be able to obtain the [作伥] stamp again, and then he will be able to contact "之".

However, according to the current situation, there is no news about "Zhi" at all. It is probably not because of the [作伥] seal, but because she is not there at all, or she is under great suppression, otherwise there would not be no news at all, as if she had evaporated from the face of the earth.

"Shadow Yu Liang... is it also two-dimensional Yu Liang?" An Buchen's eyes turned. She looked at the two paper figures and said thoughtfully, "Is there a possibility that the two-dimensional Yu Liang is not in your shadow, but somewhere else? A place you can control, and it is a plane..."

Yu Liang continued to think along the lines of An Buchen's words, his eyes inevitably falling on Lu Baoshen: "Last time you hooked 'Yu Liang', you ended up hooking back a bucket, right?"

Yes, under normal circumstances, it should be an empty hook, rather than hooking back something inexplicable. If we judge according to this line of thought...

Doesn’t this mean that this bucket is also “Yu Liang”?
At least it was the "Yu Liang" that Qiangyun judged at that time?
No, that’s not right. It’s not “the bucket is Yu Liang”, but there is Yu Liang on “the surface of the bucket”!
"Take it out and have a look. I suspect that the two-dimensional Yu Liang is on that barrel. Did you study the barrel carefully at that time?" Yu Liang doubted the judgment of these creative characters. They swore to him that there was really nothing wrong with the barrel. But now there is a very important clue on the barrel.

The creators did not dare to delay and immediately began searching. They quickly took it out from the inventory, and a half-new wooden barrel appeared in front of Yu Liang.

The wooden barrel is approximately cylindrical, but fatter in the middle. The top, middle and bottom ends are hooped with iron rings with silver edges. The surface of the barrel is not very smooth, but has some fine hair stubble distributed on it, giving it the feeling of having been soaked in water for a long time.

After a quick look around, Yu Liang did not find any pattern on the barrel. He thought that there might be something related to Flatland painted on the barrel, such as some graphics or black shadow people, but there was none. It really looked like just a wooden barrel.

Li Geng stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then picked up the barrel and placed it three to five meters away from the wall. He drew the curtains to make the room dim, and finally turned on the flashlight to let the light shine on the barrel.

There was no fat cylindrical shape on the wall, but a pure black human figure. Looking closely, the human figure was not motionless. He seemed to be hugging his knees with his head resting on his legs and taking a nap. As if he had noticed something, the shadow raised his head.

Although the head was also black, Yu Liang felt it, as if a beam of light came from the shadow man's head and shot straight at him at a perpendicular direction to the wall.

Normally, two-dimensional creatures cannot see the three-dimensional world because their vision can only look up, down, left and right, and they cannot stand up to see things in space.

If the plane where the two-dimensional creature is located can be adjusted so that the three-dimensional creature happens to stay on the extended surface of the two-dimensional plane, then it may be possible to see it, but what is seen is still not a three-dimensional image, but simple lines and surfaces. If you want to judge what it is, you need to rely on touch and rational analysis and judgment.

Yu Liang had once been a two-dimensional creature, so he naturally understood the details. Therefore, he immediately became confused when facing the gaze of this shadowy man.

he……

Can you see me?
"Shadow Yu Liang?" Li Huachao looked at the figure on the wall, squinted his eyes and compared Yu Liang with the shadow, and gave a positive judgment, "Yu Liang, this guy is more like your shadow than your shadow."

This nonsense did not elicit any response from anyone, because everyone present was attracted by the actions of the shadow Yu Liang.

The shadow Yu Liang was seen stretching out his fingers and gesturing. It looked like he was doing shadow puppetry, but what he wanted to express was much clearer.

He used his fingers to make a shape, a relatively standard octagon.

Octagon?
Yu Liang immediately understood. He took out Doctor Octagon from his Universe and gave him an order: "Take off your three-dimensional skin and go to this wall to see what I, in my shadow form, have to say."

It seems that the shadow Yu Liang cannot speak, or what he says cannot be heard by them in three dimensions, so he can only convey the message through the octagon.

Octagon looked at Yu Liang, then at the shadowy figure on the wall, and immediately made a judgment: "Do you need me to communicate with this two-dimensional creature? Okay."

After saying this, it took off its three-dimensional skin without much hesitation. This was something given to it by Yu Liang, and now it had no regrets or doubts at all.

After taking off the three-dimensional skin, the octagonal body collapsed rapidly. The wall was like a black hole, swallowing up all its colors and lines, and then presenting them on the wall in a flat form.

The founding members were a little surprised about this, as they had never experienced a two-dimensional copy. However, Xu Cixi was not too surprised, as she naturally knew what had happened in the Flat Country.

As for Yu Liang, he would gain great benefits almost every time he went through a dungeon, and his progress did not slow down as he became stronger. Instead, his progress was accelerated because of his strength.

It was as if all the enhanced strength was used to invest in a new round of plundering copy resources, forming a powerful cycle.

The octagon that appeared on the wall was not small. It occupied half of the wall and was even much larger than the shadow Yu Liang.

Judging from the picture on the wall, the shadow and the octagon are communicating something, which is something that Yu Liang in three dimensions cannot hear directly.

Yu Liang did not do nothing. He silently took out the Shadow-Eating Snake from the universe and let it coil around his arm. With his other hand, he firmly clamped the Shadow-Eating Snake, which became excited when it saw the shadow.

Be wary of others...and be wary of yourself. Who knows what this shadow Yu Liang wants to do?
With the Shadow-Eating Snake around, you can eliminate most of the other party's little thoughts.

Just as Yu Liang expected, Shadow Yu Liang sensed something the moment the Shadow Snake appeared. His whole body trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but speed up his communication with the Octagon.

Such a scene couldn't help but make Yu Liang on the side start to speculate, if he took out the Shadow-Eating Snake and the Yu Liang-Eating Snake at the same time, wouldn't it be a double control over Shadow Yu Liang?

Soon, the shadow Yu Liang reached a consensus with the octagon. The octagon came to the corner of the wall, recombined with its three-dimensional skin, and appeared in front of Yu Liang.

"What did he say to you?" Yu Liang asked the moment the octagon appeared.

Octagon thought for a moment, and tried to explain the information he had learned in a more organized way: "Due to some currently unknown reason, the 'Barrel Man Origin' and 'Yu Liang' have been linked, forming a very special relationship. It should be because you want to use the weapon of causality to forcibly become Him. From the perspective of higher-dimensional observers, your roles have been confused. Therefore, in many times or spaces containing 'Yu Liang', the power of the Barrel Man Origin is forced to be diverted."

It continued, "This is an extremely brilliant idea. In multiple timelines and multiple spaces, 'Yu Liang' has produced several incarnations, and the barrel man's origin can only be driven by the linked cause and effect relationship, and the corresponding clones are separated to resist the erosion of each 'Yu Liang'. There is a rule in the underlying logic of the barrel man's origin, that is, 'unique origin'. The barrel man's origin in different time and space is actually the same, which leads to a very critical problem."

Octagon looked at Yu Liang and paused for a moment.

Yu Liang immediately understood what Octagon wanted to say.

This is a weakening of the roots of the barrel man.

Simply put, for every additional "Yu Liang" that appears, part of the power of the Barrel Man's origin will be diverted away, and it will correspond to and suppress the "Yu Liang" in the timeline or space corresponding to the "Yu Liang".

"Yu Liang" will not take away power from the main body, but the root of the barrel man will. His rules contain the absolute unity of time and space. He relies on this underlying logic to pass the information learned in the actor's timeline to the main timeline, and plays with the current Yu Liang in the main timeline to gain absolute advantage.

The barrel man Yu Liang (perhaps he exists) in the dark keenly discovered this problem, and also noticed that the same power of the barrel man's root cannot be used simultaneously in different time and space, and his power will be dispersed in this case.

Absolute unity represents the return to the original nature of the Barrel Man's roots. He has absolute control over his own rules, which will not change due to any other root ghost stories or self-clones. The safe symbolizing the "Barrel Man's root power" will always be open only to him.

This is a good thing, but it has two sides. At least a certain Yu Liang discovered the mystery.

Since the owner of the safe is absolutely unified, it means that at the same point in time, only one barrel man root can extract power. If you take more, other time and space will take less. This is a disguised form of differentiated power.

The problem immediately became clear. The more Yu Liangs appeared, the more seriously the Barrel Man's roots would be weakened, until He could no longer influence and suppress the corresponding "Yu Liang" in some time and space. At that time -

This is the beginning of the counterattack.

The power of the Barrel Man's Root is almost endless, but it is only almost. In the final analysis, He has only absorbed less than a dozen Root Monster's rule powers. After splitting up, the number of rules that can be used in each time and space has dropped sharply. If dozens of "Yu Liang" can exist in different time and space, the Barrel Man's Root will definitely be annoyed to the point of exploding.

But judging from what the cuckoo bird said, this matter is not that simple. They need to control their numbers, otherwise...

What would happen otherwise?
"The number won't match." The octagon seemed to have seen through Yu Liang's thoughts, and it explained, "The number of timelines and spaces is limited. Not every timeline can withstand the erosion of ghost stories. What we need to do is to use different worlds to trap the roots of the barrel people, just like a prison cell, binding and locking them."

It looked at Yu Liang: "For the victory of the main timeline."
