… can not eat.
After realizing this, Nan Zhou had a cold expression on his face, and his mood did not decrease significantly.
After noticing Nan Zhou's thoughtfulness, Jiang Fang couldn't help laughing and touched his arm: Look at me.
Nan Zhou looked at him.
Jiang Fang lowered his head and whispered to him, "I will learn to do it in the future. It's not difficult."
Hearing this, Nan Zhou blinked.
His stomach, which was cold and stiff from hunger, gradually felt a strange, flowing warmth because of his words.
It seems that a butterfly with thin scaled wings is flicking his internal organs from the inside, and is going to take his whole person to fly up.
You have to look into Jiang Fang's eyes, and with his eyes leading, Nan Zhou's spirit will not soar out of thin air and fly to a place where he doesn't know where he is.
… Jiang Fang seems to be his anchor.
Nan Zhou turned his eyes away.
He seems to have the urge to procreate again.
And it's a very special kind of reproductive impulse.
As if someone had taught him that when there is a peculiar genital urge, people don't particularly want to have sex, they just want to hug.
But in which book he read it, he forgot.
Nan Zhou thought, this is very bad.
They are still doing their job.
The boiling air wave in the black teapot hit the lid of the pot, and collided with the body of the pot to make a clear and fine sound.
An ominous heat came from the depths of the floor beneath my feet.
The two brothers and sisters had their sincere and innocent smiles right in front of them.
Thanks to the two brothers and sisters, Nan Zhou's somewhat buoyant spirit was brought back on track.
He wiped the silver fork clean and picked up a soufflé.
When the fluffy egg skin was torn apart by the silver fork, a strong and delicious egg fragrance mixed with the rich strawberry cream fragrance hit Li Yinhang's skin tight.
It's mental torture to let a hungry person smell this moist, warm food up close.
Seeing that Nan Zhou moved the fork and spoon, the expressions of the brother and sister were obviously more relaxed than before.
...is still a child after all.
Happiness is hard to hide.
Jiang Fang took a panoramic view of this emotional change, and asked with a natural attitude: "Did you make all these foods?"
The attention of the two was drawn away from Nan Zhou.
The sister nodded: "Yeah."
Jiang Fang slightly bent his eyes, leaned on the sofa relaxedly, and praised: "That's amazing."
Jiang Fang has the ability to make anyone feel that he is very approachable in a short period of time.
Sure enough, the younger sister blushed a little proudly: "A small part is made by my brother, and most of it is made by me."
Brother glanced at her and shook his head in disapproval.
Jiang Fang softened his voice: "Where did you buy the raw materials? I also want to make a house like this for my teammate and bring him to live in it."
Sister: "That can't be done. The candy house is unique and will keep producing new, best candies in the world."
… totally in the voice of the protagonist.
Jiang Fang calmly and induced to obtain information: "Then have you considered opening a dessert shop..."
Thanks to Jiang Fang's diversion of attention, the two brothers and sisters could not find out for the time being that Nan Zhou didn't drink any dessert at all.
There is not much time left for them.
The two brothers and sisters have been forcing them to eat dessert, intentionally or not.
Many players tend to interpret their act of inviting dessert as a "task that needs to be done by them".
Nan Zhou's thinking is single-threaded, and he doesn't think about any twists and turns.
- The siblings say they don't need the player to complete the quest.
- As the only NC currently visible in the game, this sentence itself is a lie.
- Therefore, it is common sense not to believe the words of people who are liars.
Brother and sister's intention to ask them to eat dessert is too strong.
It's hard to predict what will happen if they are made aware of a flaw in the plan.
The hunger at this moment did not affect his judgment, but instead made Nan Zhou's thinking more powerful and efficient.
The path they've traveled since entering the level is visibly single-threaded.
Another desolate road leading to Daze, they also explored in advance.
Apart from the candy house, they have nowhere to escape.
In other words, the elements of breaking the game must be hidden in the candy house.
Fortunately, the area of the candy house is not very large.
After looking around for a while, Nan Zhou noticed two details.
First, there is no trace of the life of a third person in this family.
Cups, photos, are all exclusive to the siblings.
Even the bed is two fluffy toast kid's beds.
The character that should have existed in the fairy tale - the father of two siblings - has been silently disappeared in this copy.
Second, a display rack of chocolate crepes, built against the wall, opposite the door through which they entered the candy store.
It is decorated with fondant cakes made in the shape of sheep, squirrels and other small animals.
But the display rack is not completely against the wall.
It is some distance from the middle of the wall, which makes the design look a bit inconsistent.
Nan Zhou held Shu Fulei in his arms and put on a relaxed posture. After adjusting his sight with the help of his body changes, he looked again.
This confirmed his judgment.
… there is something behind the shelf.
The thing happened to be blocked behind the third display panel from the top.
Taking a closer look, Nan Zhou roughly guessed what was behind the display rack based on the location of the thing—
There, there is a hidden door.
The wall behind the display rack is coated with a mousse coating in an attempt to integrate with the original wall.
However, the subtle gap between the door and the wall is impossible to be decorated so that there is no trace.
And the door handle is even harder to hide.
So they simply put a decorative frame to cover.
Although this method of blocking is a bit lame, considering that the area of the candy house is not large, if you put a large area and too heavy blocking material there, it will compress the area of the room, but it will be more eye-catching and want to cover it up.
According to his own eating habits, Nan Zhou cut the soufflé out of it with a silver fork, delaying the time, and put his hand into the storage tank, thinking carefully.
… Is it okay to leave as long as you don’t eat the food they offer and find this door
Will it be that simple
When thinking of this, Nan Zhou suddenly felt a cold gaze cast on him: "Why... don't you eat?"
Nan Zhou raised his eyes and collided with his brother's peacock green eyes.
Looking at the soufflé that was almost cut into pieces by himself on the plate, Nan Zhou stopped trying to explain.
He throws a backhand—
The older brother closed his eyes reflexively, but the younger sister's scream came from beside him.
The soufflé cream exploded on her face.
Knowing that the plan was revealed, my brother got up suddenly and wanted to grab Li Yinhang's shoulder.
When Li Yinhang saw his sister's face covered in cream, he realized something was wrong and planned to run away.
But my brother is very fast and extremely flexible.
Seeing that he couldn't dodge in time, Jiang Fang slammed into the air, kicked the coffee table out of position, stuck his brother's legs with the coffee table, and held him back.
She didn't look any further, and just as she was about to run away, she felt a cold and cold wind blowing, and she simply hugged her waist neatly, pinching her whole body to her side.
Nan Zhou strode towards the display rack with Li Yinhang between them.
Jiang Fang immediately noticed his intention and followed closely behind.
On the way to escape, Nan Zhou turned his head.
The two brothers and sisters did not catch up.
Instead, they came to the two floors against the wall, held hands to look at each other, and looked at the three of them sullenly.
Nan Zhou thought about it and gave Li Yinhang an order: "Close your eyes."
Li Yinhang gritted his teeth and closed his eyes.
Instead, he shouted to Jiang Fang, "Brother—"
Jiang Fang's response was not slow. He heard Nan Zhou's voice was different. He didn't take it lightly. He touched the ground with one foot, jumped up, and grabbed the gem candy chandelier on the ceiling.
In this short period of time, the floor under the three of them moved.
—the floor they could stand on was folded, and folded to the sides at high speed.
The exquisite small coffee table, sofa and bed in the house turned out to be the appendages of the floor.
With the folding, the furniture is compressed like a piece of paper like a mustard seed due to a special force.
The area where only the two brothers and sisters stood, and the small piece of floor under the display racks that blocked the door, was a carefully set safe area.
Nan Zhou thought, no wonder.
No wonder the player's nails appear in the cracks in the floor.
No wonder the siblings didn't find the pinched nails.
The player who lost his fingernail probably fell off the sofa.
He tried to grab the folded floor, only to have it lift his fingernails.
After the floor was restored to its original state, the sofa, which returned to its normal state, naturally blocked the bloody secret.
And after the floor was removed and hidden underneath, there were more than a dozen mouthfuls crowded together, a huge soup pot with snow-white boiling foam.
It's like a coffin with a mouthful.
The flames under the soup pot suddenly came into contact with sufficient oxygen, and the flames burst, like a greedy fire phoenix, opened his mouth wide, and greeted Nan Zhou and Li Yinhang who were rushing down from above.
The severe weightlessness made Li Yinhang almost bit his lip.
Without looking at it, she could guess what they were going through with the scorching heat under her body.
The scene must be almost the same as falling into hell.
However, just as the fire lit up along the hem of Nan Zhou's windbreaker, Jiang Fang's body swayed rapidly, kicked the display rack and landed on the edge of the floor.
With a muffled sound from above, Nan Zhou moved.
He just reached into the warehouse and re-dressed the light chain, and by the flames of the flames, the red silk thread was lasing upwards.
Silk thread spun around the exposed doorknob.
The light from Nanzhou's fingertips gathered towards Huishou at a high speed, pulling the two of them upwards, escaping from hell.
Immediately, Nan Zhou jumped and squatted on top of the light that was being recovered towards the chain.
With this turn, he flicked his index and middle fingers, and two candy-colored rays of light crossed half the room, jumping towards the two brothers and sisters who were stunned watching him flee—
The two happened to be standing next to each other, and there was nowhere else to run, which was very controllable.
After tying the two deadly bear children together like a noose, Nan Zhou has also successfully settled beside the broken shelf.
He threw Li Yinhang's hand to Jiang Fang, and his free hand wrapped around the light twice, pulling it down with force—
The two brothers and sisters screamed, back to back, and were hung alive from the chandelier in the center of the room.
Nan Zhou tied the two of them into two meat dumplings with light. After cutting off the other end of the light from his finger chain, he tied it to the fully exposed door handle.
… The siblings became little bacon hanging from the flames.
Feeling the temperature under her feet, her sister kicked and kicked her beautiful little boots in fear, screaming loudly.
The older brother stared at the three of them with stern eyes.
Nan Zhou ignored them.
Both are dungeons, Nan Zhou understands them, but it doesn't mean that they will get used to their faults.
This is a business capability issue and they should reflect on it first.
The doorknob looks familiar.
It was the doorknob leading to each room in the brain corridor.
Jiang Fang hugged Li Yinhang with one hand and pressed down the door handle.
Nan Zhou, on the other hand, cooperated well and quickly dodged inside.
After a clear light mixed with green flashes, the three of them suddenly became bright again.
Li Yinhang only dared to open his eyes when the smell of fireworks and burnt smell completely disappeared and the person was put on the ground again.
Supporting her legs that were weak from hunger and tension, she took a few steps forward and looked around.
Li Yinhang said in surprise: "We... are back?"
It is indeed back.
After pushing the door, they didn't manage to get out of the game.
Hunger still haunts them like maggots on their tarsal bones.
They were standing in the woods they teleported to when they entered.
The difference is that the curved trees behind them and the vines wrapped around them all disappeared.
It opened up an unknown avenue, in the exact opposite direction of the candy store.
After experiencing the thrilling experience just now, he thought he could get out of trouble, but once again entered a new puzzle, Li Yinhang felt as if he had lost all his strength, leaning against the tree in frustration, his legs shaking uncontrollably.
The complications of starvation started to flare up further.
Dizziness, weakness, weak legs.
Hunger is like a greedy animal, nibbling at their stomachs.
The situation of Nan Zhou and Jiang Fang was similar to hers.
After passing the level just now, the hunger does not decrease but increases.
They could even clearly feel how the stomach acid was burning and boiling in their bodies.
Nan Zhou found some stored food from the warehouse and handed it to her.
Jiang Fang also took out some food: "Eat slowly, chew with your teeth, don't swallow."
Li Yinhang, who felt that he could swallow a cow in one second, had to resist the urge to gobble, bite the edge of a piece of jerky with his teeth, and slowly bite down.
When the compressed meat dried in one bite, and the fine fibrous feeling of the meat bloomed in her mouth, she almost cried.
It was the first time she found meat so delicious.
Nan Zhou didn't speak when he was hungry, he just held a piece of biscuit and sipped it.
Jiang Fang's words would be more: "Our food is still very rich. If it is not possible, you can also find linden trees, oak trees, or birch trees. I will teach you which parts to eat."
Li Yinhang swallowed a mouthful of meat and asked in a low voice, "Where are we going?"
Nan Zhou, who ate three biscuits in a row, said, "Look at the candy house first, then the swamp. Then look back and see what's beyond the woods."
Hearing such a long journey, Li Yinhang's legs first softened.
Now every step they take, they have to consume physical energy in geometric multiples.
The torture of hunger made Li Yinhang even think of quitting.
But she said nothing, stood up reluctantly, and followed them away.
Nan Zhou's decision seems to be a waste of physical strength, but it is indeed extremely valuable.
Li Yinhang found that the woods here were completely different from the woods they walked through last time.
A gravel path with no crumbs on the ground.
The road is deserted.
The bushes overgrown by the road kept tugging at their trousers.
The arrangement of trees is also not as orderly as before.
Daze was no different from what they saw last time.
And in the candy house, there are no children and no witches.
They didn't go in to investigate because they were afraid of stepping into the trap on the floor.
But just by looking at it outside, Nan Zhou could tell that the decoration was obviously different from the last time they saw it.
There was an overturned pot on the floor.
From the position of the pot mouth, a human bone finger claw with loose meat was protruded.
The shape is like a skeleton trying to crawl from hell to the world.
Seeing this scene, Nan Zhou speculated that they had returned to the candy house at another point in time.
It seems that it should be after the witch was killed by the two extreme brothers and sisters.
The siblings fled home.
The candy store was abandoned and left unattended.
Well, that pair of siblings should be at their home now.
After this section of the road, the energy they had just replenished was also exhausted.
The candy shop can see and cannot eat, and the three of them understand it.
Instead of looking uncomfortable, they turned back immediately without stopping, eating as much as possible on the way, while looking for the original home of the two brothers and sisters.
In the last level, they opened the secret door in the candy house and returned to the forest.
And so on, they should be looking for the next door.
There were no bird or animal sounds in the forest, only their footsteps, which sounded quite strange.
Jiang Fang searched and walked all the way, also thoughtfully.
Not only are there no birds and beasts in the forest, but there are also no edible ferns and mushrooms.
He managed to find a fungus pit, approached and tried to explore, only to get a few pus-producing mycelium with a pungent smell on his fingertips.
…even the poisonous mushrooms were hollowed out.
Right now, they have no new food source and can only sit and eat.
In the original fairy tale of "Candy House", after the two brothers and sisters were abandoned by their father in the forest, there was no sign to guide them, and they could not find their way home at all.
The hunger that follows him like a shadow, accompanied by the anxiety of the unknown future, makes a gloomy depression uncontrollably permeate.
Nan Zhou originally thought that they would spend more time looking for the brother and sister.
However, after they walked in the dense forest for half an hour, a strong smell of meat made the three of them directly locate their destination.
- A log cabin filled with warm light.
When we got out of the jungle, it was just getting dark.
The three sneaked all the way and came to the window in the entrance hall.
Nan Zhou probed, leaned on the edge of the window, and looked into the house.
Not surprisingly, he saw the brother and sister.
The two little guys were dressed the same as before.
They were velvet ready-to-wear, and at first sight they were expensive, not a specification that a woodcutter's sons and daughters could easily enjoy.
This further confirmed what Nanzhou and the others had just discovered.
In this timeline, the two brothers and sisters have gone through the whole process of dying, killing the witch, and escaping from the candy house with the witch's treasure.
Now, it should have been a tender moment of "brother, sister and father live a happy and beautiful life".
But their appearance was much more bizarre and ferocious than before.
The two brothers and sisters sat at the dining table, their faces were uniformly green, and their cheeks were sunken, like starving people who had been hungry for more than ten days.
The food at the table was plentiful, but weird.
There's meat, there's chicken,
There are braised squirrels, and fried birds,
There are also platters of raw leaves and mushrooms.
My sister buried her head and ate hard, swallowing a big mouthful of cooked meat, but her frowning brows showed no sign of stretching.
She tore off another bird's leg, opened a mouthful of small white teeth, and chewed the bones together.
The elder brother simply grabbed a handful of green leaves and fed them into his mouth.
Nan Zhou had good eyesight, and found a plump, snow-white caterpillar lying on the leaf.
But my brother turned a blind eye to this and stuffed it into his mouth.
The plant made a loud pop of juice in his mouth.
Their throats kept making the dull purring of pigs when they were frantically eating, but there was no enjoyment on their faces, only the mechanical numbness of cramming ducks and incomprehensible pain.
After a while, my sister lay on the table in despair, moaning weakly:
"very hungry."
"Dad, we're so hungry-" :,
