The atmosphere instantly froze.
In the blink of an eye, if the opportunity is not seized, the war will surely reignite.
At this time, Nan Zhou could say that there was only one sentence left.
If they fail to seize this fleeting opportunity, the two Nanzhou will only move forward inexorably towards the end of their lives for the belief that they want to protect.
This is also the dead end that Gaowei planned for Nanzhou.
The one who killed Nan Zhou could only be Nan Zhou.
When the basement was so quiet that only the sound of two people breathing at the same frequency was left, a string of light footsteps suddenly came from above, shaking down a thin line of dust.
When Nan Zhou looked up, he happened to see [Nan Zhou] also looking up.
After the fighting ceased, the flickering frequency of the light bulb light source on the top gradually decreased.
Therefore, when the swaying light fell on [Nanzhou]'s face, the faint worry just disappeared in a flash.
Thoughts flashed like lightning.
Nan Zhou spoke up and asked, "Why didn't he come out when we played like this here?"
Who "he" refers to is well known to both of them.
[Nanzhou] didn't answer, but secretly exerted strength in his hands to take back the iron box.
Nan Zhou pressed his fingertips tightly against the iron box, and while secretly wrestling with him, he looked at [Nan Zhou] immersed in the darkness, and continued to ask: "This is his yard, and he is right above our heads. But why can't he hear us fighting in the basement?"
"You're afraid of being exposed by him, but why do you dare to grab the box directly in the yard? Why don't you go farther?"
The answers to these questions, [Nan Zhou] clearly knew, but couldn't say a word.
Nan Zhou looked at this face that was similar in appearance to himself, but with a different emotion, and felt a little pity in his heart.
His hand was slightly less dark, and he was no longer committed to competing with him for the tin box. Instead, he sat down with his legs crossed and told him one thing: "... When I went in to get the box just now, I pretended to be you. But he Not found at all."
[Nanzhou] With the movement of his fingertips, he was just struck by his heart.
He lowered his eyelashes and replied, "He won't find out."
He added: "…He's been working hard. Can't blame him."
Nan Zhou saw that [Nan Zhou] had a different expression, and guessed a little deeper.
"… You told him who you are, didn't you?"
When he first saw [Nan Zhou], Nan Zhou thought he was deliberately disguising his identity and didn't want to let [Jiang Fang] know that he was a monster, so he pretended to be ignorant.
Seeing that he was acting inconsistently now, Nan Zhou overthrew all his previous assumptions on his own.
Nan Zhou let go of the box and put his hand on the back of [Nan Zhou]'s slightly cool hand: "...But, even if you tell him, he won't remember it, right?"
[Nanzhou] The shoulders shrank suddenly.
He never thought that the person who could see through his secrets for more than 20 years was a person who claimed to destroy his world.
He cleared his hoarse throat and admitted, "Well, yes."
In the second box world, it was not Jiang Fang who fell in love with the story character Nan Zhou, but the conscious story character [Nan Zhou] who fell in love with the unconscious story character [Jiang Fang].
[Nanzhou] also tried to expose his identity in front of [Jiang Fang].
But as long as the scene is switched and the door is pushed and closed, [Jiang Fang] will forget everything.
Including his inhuman identity.
In this case, [Nanzhou] simply played a role-playing game with him.
He guessed that [Jiang Fang] was the "lover" role assigned to him by the power in the shadows, and all his actions towards him were probably just due to the warmth set by the system.
However, even so, [Nanzhou] was still reluctant to give up this false warmth.
They have always been friendly neighbors, and [Nanzhou] is sensible not to hope for more.
The only hope in his long life is that Jiang Fang's accidental awakening of consciousness can tell him about taking him out of the town.
He wanted nothing but this hope.
[Nan Zhou] said: "I didn't really like him before. He is the same as other people in the town, there is no difference. During the day, everyone is fine; at night, normal people will turn into monsters, but the next day , everyone is like nothing has happened, and continue to live in harmony."
Nan Zhou thought that this was similar to his experience, but not the same.
In the original version of Never Town, even in the daytime, he could find that the people in the town behaved mechanically abnormally, so he naturally became wary and would not interact with them too much.
Take that young girl with a first-class talent for painting as an example.
In the world of Nanzhou, she was sluggish during the day, she had no feedback on all of Nanzhou's words, and did her own thing, so even if she turned into a monster, Nanzhou would not be surprised.
In the world of [Nanzhou], she can greet [Nanzhou] lively and cheerfully in the daytime, and bites the living mercilessly at night.
—[Nanzhou]’s sense of separation from the world should be stronger than his.
[Nanzhou] looked at the box: "...I tried a lot of ways, but I couldn't escape from here. So, I always wanted to die."
Nan Zhou put his fingertips on his with empathy.
[Nan Zhou] did not withdraw his hand, and continued to tell his story.
"On my fourteenth birthday, he gave me his handmade cake."
"Actually, that day was no different from before, but he suddenly said that he felt this town was strange and wanted to take me away."
"I'm very happy. I think maybe the two of them together will have a better chance of escaping."
"That afternoon, he and I kept planning until the evening, and he said he read a book and wanted to take me to many places, and he described to me how nice those places were. I was so moved that I left the room and wanted to get a pen and paper. Come in, I want to write down what he said."
Hearing him say this, Nan Zhou had already guessed what happened next.
[Nan Zhou] said, "I got the pen and paper back. He was sitting in the room drinking water, saying that it was getting late and he was going home."
"I asked him, 'Then will you come to me tomorrow and we can talk about how to get out'."
"He got back to me, 'Why are we going out'?"
Nan Zhou felt a sudden movement in his heart.
On the one hand, he quite understands the collapse of [Nan Zhou]'s hope at that moment.
On the other hand, in the story of [Nanzhou], he noticed something that sent chills down the spine.
At the age of fourteen, [Nanzhou] in the box world should have committed suicide because of the unresolved loneliness.
Coincidentally, on his birthday, [Jiang Fang], who had never shown any special features before, appeared, bringing him a glimmer of hope and tenderness.
[Nanzhou] I think he's also awakened.
It can be said that the reason why [Nanzhou] has survived to this day is because of this thread-like hope that makes him have the illusion that he is not alone.
… the question is, is there such a coincidence in the world
[Nanzhou] is the core character of the existence of the world. If [Nanzhou] dies, the box world will be destroyed.
Just when [Nan Zhou] wanted to die, the awakened [Jiang Fang] suddenly appeared and gave him hope
Nan Zhou did not believe that there would be such a coincidence in the world.
It was like the power in the shadows, steered the fate of the [Nanzhou] in this box, and duly smeared it with honey in front of him who was about to lose hope, making him feel like he was placed in a Mobiu. The ants crawling on the paper tape, worked tirelessly for that little sweetness, and lived until the 30 minutes of his arrival.
The honey [Jiang Fang] that he met at the age of fourteen, the charming warmth of these eight or nine years, was just to give him a reason to live and live long enough to stop him.
What Nan Zhou can think of, [Nan Zhou] can also think.
When Nan Zhou reported on his family, he figured out a lot of tricks.
If what Nan Zhou said was true, his 23 years of pain, entanglement, and hesitation were nothing but a funny dream.
[Jiang Fang], but it's just a fragrant bait to deceive him to live.
... why
Why are you struggling to the death, trying your best to survive, and feeling lonely, just to stop someone
Why should he let the person in front of him easily take the box and destroy his world
[Jiang Fang] Although it is very likely that it is a puppet controlled by the world, what if it is? What if he really awakened his consciousness
Can he just let it go...
[Nan Zhou] Even though there were thousands of unwillingness in his heart, he lowered his eyebrows and was speechless for a while.
After a long while, he asked softly, "Do you have to open the box and pass through my world?"
"Yes. I have to go. I also have my brother Fang waiting for me." Nan Zhou said.
[Nanzhou] There is a little yearning in his eyes: "Is he different from my brother Fang?"
Nan Zhou said bluntly: "It's different. He loves me."
[Nanzhou] sent out a soul torture: "How do you know that he is not another bait? You are not a creature controlled by someone in another box? You love him, he loves you, maybe it's just someone who wants you to live well Go down, it's just an illusion. Are there other eyes looking at your 'love' outside of your world? They need you to be alive for you to be alive?"
Nan Zhou said decisively, "I don't care."
[Nan Zhou] has a completely similar face to him, but this sentence "I don't care", [Nan Zhou] is not confident to say it anyway.
He slowly removed his hand from the box and whispered to himself, "Maybe from the beginning, it was just my wishful thinking..."
Nan Zhou didn't wait for him to finish his rumination, then took the tin box and opened the lid without pausing.
[Nanzhou]'s hesitation and wavering may only be momentary.
He couldn't risk him going back and grabbing the box again.
At the moment when the lid of the box opened, he raised his eyes.
Perhaps because he was in the dark, he could no longer see the weird comment box, but only before the darkness of the mountains and tsunamis came, he saw the [Nanzhou] with tears in his eyes and gradually shattered with the world.
His body seemed to be formed by a nest of ants huddled together in a group. With the disintegration of the world in the second box, it scatters straight away, going to different places without a trace.
Nan Zhou looked away.
He roughly guessed what kind of effect this infinite nesting doll box wanted to have on him.
The universe is vast, and people are like ants.
If even he himself doubts the meaning of his existence, how else can he win
He calmed down and let his body and mind completely immerse himself in the third world in a box.
In the second world, he didn't have a good time to explore, and he didn't have time to look for a ticket.
Maybe in the third world...
Because [Nanzhou] locked the entrance and exit of the basement and the lights were limited, the sky in the third box was a darkness like splashing ink, only a perfect lonely moon on the high sky was hidden behind the clouds , lightly apply a little makeup halo.
… full moon
At the same time, Nan Zhou found that his current situation was not optimistic.
He is now lying on the bed in a charming posture, his body is full of light and his face is blurred.
There was a sharp pain in his palm, and he was bound by a pair of silver handcuffs to the head of the bed. Under the influence of the full moon near the window, his strength was weak and he couldn't move.
Jiang Fang in the third world—let’s call him {Jiang Fang}—is stabbing a wooden peg into Nanzhou’s palm.
Hot blood gushed out from the wound, making Nan Zhou's fingertips tremble in pain.
He heard the voice of {Jiang Fang} grimly: "Monster, you killed my family, I want to see, who are you?"
