Forces of Temptation

Chapter 305: Ant (28)

Views:

What broke the silence was the sound of the whistle again.

The fiery steam tore through the icy fog, filling the old white with new white, like a superimposed shadow in a movie, presenting a fantastic visual effect,

Only 30 minutes left before departure.

Next, every 5 minutes, the flight attendant in the cab blew the urging whistle, mercilessly reminding them of the passage of time.

The previous mess has been cut open with a knife.

At present, all their possible actions have collapsed into two specific options.

Get in the car, or not.

Li Yinhang was so nervous that his trachea was twitching.

Under the extreme tension, the damp and cold smell in the air was magnified countless times, forcing people to breathe.

There is little time left for them to choose.

At this point, Li Yinhang figured out why the Gaowei people wanted to set Nanzhou to be the first to return to the train.

First of all, no matter how the dungeon is designed, Nan Zhou is the first person who has the strength to complete the task.

Second, it can take into account the viewing effect and dramatic effect of the audience.

This is easy to understand.

After all, if Li Yinhang was the leader, he would probably have a mental explosion on the spot.

It's all the finals, and the high-dimensional audience wants to see a strong duel, not a rookie.

Third, Nan Zhou and Jiang Fang were the only pair in the team who could form a fixed containment situation.

Arranging the two of them together will most arouse the suspicions of other players, making them think that what Nan Zhou is doing is selfish.

If you replace yourself, there will be no such effect.

Because she has no reason or motive for lying, everyone will believe her own words.

To be able to select a copy of this level in a short period of time is considered a high-dimensional person's painstaking effort.

The core question is, since you want Nan Zhou and Jiang Fang to form a containment relationship, then Jiang Fang is also capable of breaking the game, so why not put him first

The core purpose of the high-dimensional people's move is that they are convinced that with Jiang Fang's temperament, they will not reason with them at all.

Li Yinhang could have imagined that if Jiang Fang came back first and witnessed the abnormality in the carriage, he would definitely kill Yuan Mingqing who questioned him on the spot, then smiled and held the bloody knife and asked the rest Whether the two of them wanted to wait for Nanzhou.

They can choose, they won't force it.

Li Yinhang had followed Nan Zhou and the others from the very beginning. Even if he didn't use violence, he would be more inclined to trust his judgment.

The remaining one, Chen Sufeng, is also difficult to call alone.

But Nan Zhou and Jiang Fang are completely different.

Although his temperament is cold, he is full of tenderness in his bones.

The tip of his knife never faces his teammates.

In that charming town.

The same is true in Gravity.

He has the absolute ability to carry out violence, but never advocates violence.

He always insisted on finding the optimal solution in the cracks.

Nan Zhou exhaled slowly: "I know, it's hard to persuade you not to get on this train. It's just that once the train starts, if you want to get off again, there will be no way out."

The Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties pointed out the problem tit for tat: "If you stay here, will there be a way back?"

This station is completely closed, and the situation is worse than that of Nanzhou's Never Town.

At least there's fresh air there, and activity space for basic living needs.

If you make a mistake, you will stay here forever...

Just imagining the possibility is tingling.

As if to echo this anxious atmosphere, the whistle suddenly sounded.

It's like the horn of the high-dimensional people.

It's like the death knell sounded in advance for them.

Nan Zhou was unmoved and continued to analyze: "I said, the theme of [Ant Train] has continued from the five copies of our own experiences to the present. The theme of 'self-sacrifice' may also continue. We can only talk about 'sacrifice' if we all stay at the station together."

Yuan, Ming and Qing moved forward step by step: "This is just your guess. Besides, in individual battles, we only have ourselves, and of course we can only sacrifice ourselves; now it's a team battle, and the five of us are a whole, sacrificing Jiang Fang, no Is it a 'sacrifice'?"

Nan Zhou: "I don't think the purpose of the dungeon setting is for us to sacrifice a specific person."

Yuan Mingqing: "But you will drag all of us to death because of a specific person. 'Hopefully we will be wiped out' is also the purpose of the high-dimensional people. You said it yourself."

Nan Zhou: "I mean, high-dimensional people should not have the option of 'someone must die' when designing dungeons. In this way, the difficulty level itself will be unbalanced."

Yuan Mingqing: "According to your speculation, the high-dimensional people created a time gap, and only after the specific customs clearance time for all of us was clarified, they put us into the station. The ending of Jiang Fang has already been decided. There is no difficulty imbalance at all.”

He stared at Nan Zhou: "How do you know whether Jiang Fang is still in the dungeon or is dead? His existence is a 'bait' for you, so you can't let it go, isn't it?"

Li Yinhang listened to their airtight logic battle, unable to answer.

She had to admit that although Yuan Mingqing's words were harsh and sharp, they were all justified.

Nan Zhou must answer these questions.

Otherwise, even Li Yinhang would not dare to risk staying.

However, Nan Zhou's logic is very clear, and he is not shaken by the aggressive Yuan Mingqing at all: "Whether he is alive or not is the same type of question as whether to get in the car. You are responsible for proving that he is dead, and I am responsible for proving that he is staying in the car. The following is correct."

Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties: "..."

"Excellent!" After he was speechless, he laughed angrily and spread his hands, "Who wants to stay and accompany this lunatic to verify his conjecture?"

Li Yinhang and Chen Sufeng remained silent and did not answer.

Yuan Mingqing stared at Li Yinhang: "Are you?"

Li Yinhang remained silent.

Yuan Mingqing looked at Chen Sufeng deliberately and motioned him to say something with his eyes.

Chen Sufeng, like him, has people who must be saved, and must not accompany Nan Zhou to play this one-two gamble.

It is of course possible for the flight attendant to lie.

Of course, there may be murder in the car.

But once they miss this train, they may also live for a long time at this forever lonely station until the supplies are exhausted, until they become mad, and even kill each other and eat each other's flesh.

If the whole army is really wiped out, then no one's wish will be fulfilled, and the game "Gravity" will continue forever, forever becoming a life and death scene for high-dimensional audiences to watch.

This is truly a thought of heaven and a thought of hell.

In the face of such a life-and-death decision, Chen Sufeng showed a steadiness far beyond his age.

Although his position was consistent with Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, he was not influenced by his emotions.

After all, he and Nan Zhou have never had a hostile relationship.

He raised an important question: "Brother Nan, if you die when you get on the train, you can succeed by staying at the station, why are you still here?"

Li Yinhang shuddered.

She had never thought of this before.

Now that she was reminded by Chen Sufeng, she felt even more uneasy.

- If Nan Zhou successfully waited for Jiang Fang, then he should have left the game by now.

Chen Sufeng said frankly: "I don't want to rely on gambling to decide my life, death and future. I'm only one step away from success. I will only take the most secure and correct approach. But, Brother Nan, as long as you can solve my problem, I will I believe you."

"Yes, that's what I'm going to say." Nan Zhou said, "I can prove that getting in the car was wrong."

Yuan Mingqing pursed his dry lips, not expecting that Nanzhou would really come up with any hard evidence that could shake his decision.

After all, there was only 20 minutes left for Nan Zhou.

But he still held a glimmer of hope that he couldn't tell where it came from, and said, "...Tell me about it."

Who would have thought, Nan Zhouguo really said amazingly: "I'm sure, we have failed twice. This is the third time we have discussed this at the station."

The whistle sounded again, making people's eardrums hurt, and it also made people's hearts shake.

Gao Weiren's studio played Nan Zhou's words synchronously.

Hearing this, the director's proud face froze.

He suddenly picked up the conduction instrument so that he could listen to Nan Zhou's words more carefully.

impossible!

It was impossible for Nan Zhou to tell whether it was the second or third reincarnation now!

Because in each scene, they will re-update the space and characters.

The messy carriages and the smashed newsstands will all be repaired after the end of the cycle.

As long as all personnel die, everything will automatically refresh to a brand new scene!

How could he possibly guess? !

When the director frantically brainstormed and wanted to figure out what went wrong, Nan Zhou in the station started his analysis: "I have analyzed it, the first reincarnation, we are bound to fail."

Li Yinhang nodded blankly.

Yeah, because nothing happened in the car at that time.

What Nan Zhou saw was a normal train.

So at that time, they didn't know the horror of the carriage, and they faced only one problem:

Jiang Fang did not successfully return before Nan Zhou's ticket expired.

Therefore, in order to wait for Jiang Fang, who did not know if he would come back, Nan Zhou gave up the ticket and chose to stay at the station.

Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties took other people on board and left.

What happened on the road is unknown.

Something must have happened to Nan Zhou who stayed at the station.

In short, all members were destroyed, and the second reincarnation opened.

Nan Zhou was the first to come back, and saw the blood-stained future in the carriage.

At that time, Nan Zhou would definitely act, like now, he would do everything possible to try to convince others to believe what he saw.

However, because of his position, he was unable to convince everyone, and eventually fell into an incomprehensible endless loop—

As long as Jiang Fang does not come back, Nan Zhou will still stay at the station.

The three people who did not dare to risk staying at the station would still choose to board the train according to the instructions in the contract.

It stands to reason that the second reincarnation and the third reincarnation should be completely indistinguishable.

How could Nan Zhou judge whether it was the second time or the third time

Nan Zhou said, "Chen Sufeng, you asked me just now why I stayed at the station and failed to complete the task."

Chen Sufeng nodded.

Nan Zhou said, "Because I chose the right path, and you chose the wrong path."

Yuan Mingqing laughed dryly: "Are you too confident?"

Nan Zhou turned to look at Yuan Mingqing: "In the carriage, there are traces of the deaths of the three of you. Yinhang was thrown out of the car window, you or Chen Sufeng, one lost too much blood, the other was stabbed in the eye, but I also checked the station before you came back. There has never been such a vision in the station."

Yuan Mingqing blinked and wanted to refute, but was at a loss for words.

Nan Zhou continued to analyze: "Are you trying to say, 'The Gaowei people didn't show it to me'?"

"But if there is, will the high-dimensional people really not show it to me?"

"If there are bloody scenes at the station, wouldn't it be easier to shake my judgment? It makes me more convinced that the station is also very dangerous, and maybe getting on the train is the right choice."

"So, I don't think anyone has ever died at the station. They don't have any images to show."

"I chose the right path. I just didn't take the right path and left the copy."

Li Yinhang blurted out the question that the three of them were most concerned about at this time: "Why?"

Nan Zhou replied, "Because, if you all die, it means nothing to me if you can't pass the customs."

"Don't forget, we still have to make a wish."

This sentence, accompanied by the sound of the whistle rising into the sky, made Li Yinhang's chaotic mind like snow, and instantly brightened.

That's right.

She was thinking about the dungeon, but she forgot to make a wish after the customs clearance!

Their ultimate goal is obviously to end the game "Gravity".

If there are not enough people to make a wish, Nan Zhou will either give up his wish and make a wish for mankind, and he will be trapped in the game forever.

Or, he only allows his wishes related to himself, to leave the game, who cares about the life and death of the human beings in the game.

Nan Zhou said: "Even if I walk out of this station alive, the world of Gravity is still outside. The game will never end."

"I wouldn't choose to end it that way. I don't like it either."

"The high-dimensional people have mastered this. I can't make the choice to walk out of the station."

"In the first world, I can't see the vision in the train, so there is no evidence to judge that I am in reincarnation."

"By the time I know, it's too late for me to remind me in the second reincarnation."

"After the second cycle begins, I will definitely try to make some marks to remind me not to get in the car, it is the wrong choice to do so."

Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties were also extremely shaken at this time.

He noticed that he was being persuaded by Nan Zhou.

He looked back at the train immersed in the thick fog, wondering whether the steel dragon lurking quietly in the haze was the hope of life or a tin coffin.

He had to look for Nan Zhou's logical loopholes to fill up the unease and shake in his heart at this time: "But they won't let you leave any marks at all!"

"Well, I know." Nan Zhou said, "I thought about it. High-dimensional people will refresh everything, and even myself may be the one who has been refreshed. I can think of this in the second round. … I Believe me I can figure it out.”

Whether he spray-painted "don't get on the bus" on the wall of the station, or tattooed himself, or secretly inscribed in a hidden corner, there is no conclusive evidence.

As long as the high-dimensional people raise their hands, they can easily erase all this.

If you want to break the game, only—

"As long as I don't let them refresh." Nan Zhou said, "I refresh myself."

While speaking, Nan Zhou took out a Grade A item [Countercurrent Clock] from the warehouse.

It is the core item for clearing [Xiao Ming's Daily Life], but its rating is only A.

Because it is different from general retroactive props.

It can't carry memory to travel through, it just goes back to the past and completely resets time and space.

As it states -

[Time is the most unplayable thing in the world. 】

[What should happen will always happen. 】

At this time, the clock on paper, sketched out with children's brushstrokes, shows "in use".

The small print at the bottom indicates that it has been running for 5 hours and 45 minutes and will expire in 1 hour and 15 minutes.

The faces of the three changed greatly.

Now, there are still 15 minutes before departure.

Nan Zhou chose to use this prop after the train left and waited alone in the station for only 1 hour, to reverse the flow of time, trace the source, and restart the whole world.

The 1-hour waiting time shows that Nanzhou is not desperate because of the long-term waiting, and it is unlikely that he has encountered an attack far beyond the strength of Nanzhou. There are traces of fighting, and the high-dimensional people will never hesitate to re-engrave them, so that the station and the train are full of blood, so as to interfere with their judgment.

Excluding all other possibilities, it is absolutely possible that a new life is bred in the station!

Director Gao Wei suddenly crushed the conductive headphones.

When both space and time are reset, who will judge whether it is the power of the item or the power of the copy

Nan Zhou... Actually in the dungeon, deceived the dungeon? !

Nan Zhou: "I can think of the props that I can use at hand. This is the one. I didn't expect to find it in use when I found it quietly."

In the first reincarnation, he had no clues or clues.

After learning that he had two more chances, Nan Zhou naturally would not waste the props.

He gave up the opportunity to clear the customs and chose the second reincarnation to collect more clues.

At the end of the second reincarnation, Nan Zhou deceived everyone with an A-level prop that was originally quite tasteless and started a "fake reincarnation".

He also used this A-level item to provide the other three with reasons to stay in the station.

While this evidence wasn't enough to prove that it was completely safe to stay at the station, it was enough to convince them to take a gamble.

After this round of high-intensity brainstorming, the whistle had already sounded several times.

Nan Zhou looked around at everyone: "So now, what do you think?"

silence.

long silence.

The studio of the high-dimensional people was also silent.

Only the sound of the data-intensive water flow is like the beat of a heartbeat.

The director fastened the broken conductor, comforting himself: It's okay, it's okay.

Although Nan Zhou persuaded the other three, it was absolutely impossible for him to leave the station in the end!

because-

In this silence, Li Yinhang quietly raised his hand.

But she didn't mean to make a statement: "I have a problem."

Nan Zhou: "Yeah."

Li Yinhang: "Mr. Nan, if Brother Fang is back when the game can be cleared, you should be able to get a chance to leave the game with two wishes. After all, Brother Fang..."

She was embarrassed to say the next words.

To put it bluntly, if Jiang Fang came back at that time, he would not care about their lives.

He and Nan Zhou can make two wishes, both of them get out of the system, no matter what the flood is behind them.

Li Yinhang gathered up his courage and said, "So I guess, Brother Fang didn't come back when you found your way out, did you?"

The reason why she found it strange was that when Nan Zhou recounted this experience, the subject repeatedly used was "I" instead of "we" referring to both Nan Zhou and Jiang Fang.

She thought that although Nan Zhou had forgotten that memory, he must have guessed something before he would adopt this way of expression.

Nan Zhou nodded: "Yes, he didn't come back. That's why I want to keep all of you."

Li Yinhang was stunned: "Huh?"

"I've always thought it was weird. I said the same just now." Nan Zhou said, "If Brother Fang's single-player dungeon takes longer than all of us, it's really unfair. The balance of the game will be destroyed. , high-dimensional audiences will be dissatisfied with this behavior.”

"So I think it's possible that he..."

At this moment, a light footsteps approached them.

click.

click.

Mr. "Certificate" stepped on wedge leather shoes, covered in fog, and stood three meters away from the four people, clasping his hands in front of him: "Everyone, it's only five minutes before the departure. Excuse me, everyone. Get in the car?"

Nan Zhou did not answer.

He just walked over to the flight attendant and looked up at him.

"Would you drive the car away if no one left?" he asked.

"Of course." The flight attendant nodded. "In the future, someone will definitely go."

Nan Zhou made a "uh", took another step forward, and stretched out his hand to lightly grab the corner of his clothes.

He asked very lightly: "... Brother Fang. Is that you?"

As soon as these words came out, the "flight attendant" seemed to be a character in a fairy tale, and some kind of spell was unlocked.

His stiff limbs were obviously loose, like a puppet with all the puppet threads cut off.

The numb muscles on his face, as if they didn't belong to him at all, also dissolved and transformed like water.

A head of silver hair flowed down the dark brim of his hat.

Jiang Fang, dressed as a flight attendant, took two breaths. After adjusting the breathing rhythm, he gently stroked Nan Zhou's head with a smile: "You're exhausted."

Nan Zhou: "Yeah. I'm exhausted."

"It's wet." Jiang Fang waved at him, "Come on, give me a hug."

Nan Zhou didn't say a word, and threw himself firmly on Jiang Fang.

The mist and dew on his body and the cold sweat that was exhausted after exhausting his mind fell on his shoulders.

Any explanation can be left for later.

Now he just wants to hug Jiang Fang and touch the tentacles with this ant partner.
