Forces of Temptation

Chapter 314: Wish (5)

Views:

Tears from the candles on the stage flowed in a crisscross pattern.

All the candles are half burnt.

The flame of the No. 3 candle belonging to Jiang Fang kept beating, and a small smelting work was carried out in his pale pupils.

So far, the order of everyone's choices has not exceeded Jiang Fang's expectations.

And Jiang Fang himself is not the first time to do deals with Gaowei people.

The first time he was born, the second time he was cooked, his demeanor was quite relaxed.

Facing the wishing platform and countless invisible cameras, he showed a beautiful smile: "Dear "Gravity" organizers, hello."

Like the previous two, Jiang Fang took the trouble to presume a lot of premise.

This is a necessary part. After all, no one knows what loopholes high-dimensional people will seize and cut corners for their wishes.

And Jiang Fang's real wish is—

"The behind-the-scenes hosts of "Gravity", and all the life groups that share a common form of existence with the hosts, after "Gravity" is completely terminated and all players are sent back to the C City Stadium, they must no longer be understood within the scope of this life group. , to observe and interfere with all living and non-living matter on the earth in any way within the scope of its ability.”

The same complex and effective desire to put an end to this endless high-dimensional game.

Jiang Fang once thought that he would make a wish to make the high-dimensional people lose their memory.

But the development of the earth has come to this point.

Even if the high-dimensional people collectively forget that there is such an abandoned copy in the corner of the universe, there will be a day when the people on earth will face the one-way aggression of the high-dimensional once again while breaking the technological barriers.

Unless the earthlings give up all development, settle for the status quo, and no longer make any progress in technology.

Jiang Fang felt that it was not interesting.

Jiang Fang also thought about it, just sign a treaty for the high-dimensional people to protect the people of the earth.

But to protect oneself by the hands of others is essentially a foolish act of ceding the future dominance that could have been in one's own hands to others.

"Protection" is a very broad term.

In the eyes of high-dimensional people, confinement can also be a kind of protection.

Therefore, he chose such a way to make the earth completely disappear from the observation field of high-dimensional people.

The two are lost in the vast universe, cut off all contact and never see each other again.

Li Yinhang saved and saved the lives of all gamers.

Jiang Fang slashed the chains that bound them.

Of course, he is not selfless.

This chain made by the high-dimensional people is not only tied to the neck of the human being, but also tied to the neck of Jiang Fang.

At the beginning, in order to save Nan Zhou, the price he paid was to "keep testing until Gravity no longer needs me".

After he supplemented Li Yinhang's wish with the condition that "Gravity is completely terminated", after the end of the game, he is naturally no longer needed.

The previous contract between him and the high-dimensional people was terminated.

And he will also return to the world together with Nan Zhou as one of "all Gravity game players who have survived to this day and exist on the existing list" in Li Yinhang's wish.

He wants to give Nan Zhou a completely free Jiang Fang.

When Jiang Fang and Li Yinhang completed this wish relay, it was the next one's turn.

… From the door of the waiting room, which was open four times, I walked out of Nanzhou.

He walked to the wishing platform step by step, as if he was walking towards the wishing pool of "Rust City" step by step.

It used to be water, now it is fire.

Facing Candle No. 4, Nan Zhou reiterated: "The wish I made at the beginning was to take the Nanyang Star and become a human being together."

After careful calculation, the wish he made was actually very easy and hasty.

Because at that time Nan Zhou himself didn't know why he wanted to become a human.

At that time, he thought he wanted freedom.

Later, he knew that what he wanted was Jiang Fang.

Jiang Fang slightly raised the corner of his mouth.

I want to know how the safe area under their feet will be turned upside down when they hear Nan Zhou's wish.

However, Nan Zhou did not follow up.

Female voice: "...If you make a wish, please blow out the candle."

Nan Zhou said, "But I want to know first, how can I use my Easter eggs?"

At first, Nan Zhou thought that the condition of "bringing the South Pole Star together into a human being" was considered a "lucky bonus".

But later he thought about it and felt that it was not appropriate to understand "lucky bonus" in this way.

At the time, their leader, Iron Rabbit, explained the role of gold coins in a rather sloppy and absent-minded manner.

Nan Zhou thought that it might have brought the bad mood in life to work.

this is not good.

He needs to be clear.

There was silence on the platform.

Obviously, if Nan Zhou didn't mention this matter, Gaowei didn't plan to mention it at all, he just wanted to get this chapter out of the way.

"Reminder—" The female voice began to become impatient, "Because player Nan Zhou once obtained an easter egg [Gold Coins of the Goddess of Luck], wishing can add some luck bonuses..."

Nan Zhou persevered: "What does the lucky bonus mean?"

The female voice explained lively: "There are three bonus methods in total."

"First, prioritize your wishes. Your wishes will come first."

"Second, adjust the difficulty of wish fulfillment. Your wish will be easier to fulfill than others."

"Third, to the original desire, add conditions that do not contradict the previous desire."

While speaking, the lucky coin that was engulfed by the pool water appeared on the wishing platform.

"Please choose the way of lucky bonus by tossing a coin."

"The obverse of the coin is the word, which is the first bonus method."

"The front is the tree of life painting, which is the second bonus method."

"The coin stands up, which is the third bonus method."

… It was obvious that Nan Zhou did not want to adjust his wishes.

Nan Zhou lowered his head and studied the coin for a moment, then turned his head decisively: "Brother Fang."

"Here." Jiang Fang crossed his body, took the coin from his hand, supported Nan Zhou's shoulder with one hand, and pressed the belly of the other finger against the slightly thicker edge of the coin. He rotated around the center normal a few times, and was familiar with the feel of the hand. Then, asked, "Which way do you want?"

Nan Zhou: "The third kind."

Jiang Fang lightly picked up the edge with his thumb, pressed down on his wrist, and tossed the coin into the air before the female voice said that no one was allowed to put the coin on his behalf.

The coin leaned on the side of the table, jumped slightly, and immediately began to circle through the frozen wax tears on the table.

Jiang Fang's hand strength is very skillful.

When it stopped rolling, the side face of the coin was still firmly upright on the table.

Reflected by the three still-burning candles, both sides of the coin are glowing.

Nan Zhou knew that his previous wish was too simple.

If some new conditions are not added, he can easily be exploited.

After superimposing certain preconditions, Nan Zhou announced his new wish: "I hope that my friend Nanji Xing and I will become the same as Li Yinhang on the premise of maintaining our basic physical characteristics and having a legitimate social identity. kinds of life forms.”

Hearing this, Nanji Xing, who had turned into a honey bag glider and slid on Li Yinhang's head from the waiting room, happily and secretly flicked his tail twice.

Female voice: "…"

She said numbly: "Congratulations to Mr. Nan Zhou on his successful wish. Your wish will come true."

The wish has been advanced until now, and there are only two places left.

After Nan Zhou exited the air bubble, his eyes were directed at the two waiting rooms that had not yet been opened.

Who will be the next person to make a wish

He was also curious as to whose hand speed was so fast that he chose the last one.

The fifth door creaked open as if crushing people's hearts.

Mr. Madinson stepped over the threshold.

Seeing the blonde hair on that end, Li Yinhang clenched his fist happily.

The fifth is him, and the sixth is Chen Sufeng!

No matter what, they have someone to guarantee it!

Chen Sufeng's willingness to choose the last one shows that he is indeed a lot more stable.

Chen Sufeng knew that Li Yinhang wanted to resurrect all the dead players, then Brother Yu could come back.

In this way, his only wish was to "resurrect brother Chen Suye".

This is an additional condition.

Therefore, after he grabbed the last position for the first time and ensured that everyone's wishes were correct, he was willing to make his own wishes cautiously.

Although he is young, he has learned composure and calculation from the death of his brother and Yu Tuisi.

Chen Sufeng sat cross-legged on the ground, clasping his sweaty hands, and brewing his wishes full of hope.

How can I bring back my brother intact

Do Gaowei people have archives when their brother was still alive

Who would have thought that there has been no sound from the outside world for a long time.

It was so long that Chen Sufeng raised his head and looked at the four enclosed walls with surprise.

… what happened outside

Why didn't Madinson speak

At this time, Mr. Madinson, facing the only two candles left on the wishing table, stood for a long time without saying a word.

His left hand rested on the table, and when he knocked on the table, it shook the thin light on the table.

Two candles were about to burn out.

Li Yinhang was irritated by his small actions for no reason: "..." What are you doing

But she forcibly suppressed the manic depression in her heart, and did not want to disturb Mr. Madinson's thinking process.

He wants to resurrect his two children.

This is also quite difficult in the story of "Monkey's Paw".

No one can guarantee what kind of sons and daughters the high-dimensional people will bring back for him across time and space.

Mr. Madinson has the right to be thoughtful.

But after waiting, Li Yinhang felt something was wrong again.

Her previous wish also included the content of "resurrection of the dead".

Although it is not perfect, but no matter what, it can have some reference value, right

Did he need to think for so long

Li Yinhang took a few steps towards the air bubble and looked around on tiptoe.

The situation is unknown, and she did not act rashly at the first time.

The reason why they leave the air bubble as soon as possible after making a wish is because they are afraid that one of their actions will be too big, causing a little wind, and accidentally blowing out the candles of themselves or others, causing their wishes to be completely invalidated.

Besides, his wish was to resurrect his own children, this rare opportunity, if they push too hard, it would be inhumane.

After all, the burning time of candles is limited.

If he delays like this, how can Chen Sufeng make a wish

When Li Yinhang was very anxious for him, Chen Sufeng in the waiting room had already got up.

He judged the position of the wishing table, stroked the wall facing the wishing table, and tried to find the joint between the invisible door and the wall.

Chen Sufeng knew it was useless.

But he can try to distract himself by doing this.

After a long time, Madinson finally spoke.

Somewhat strangely, he, who is clearly proficient in Chinese, made a wish in Latin.

But that's not particularly unusual.

When people want to express accurately, they often use the language they are more familiar with.

If he was the rebellious version of Chen Sufeng when he was in high school, even his English was always hovering above and below the passing line, he must be like a book from heaven.

However, after living with Yu Tuisi, in order to live, he must earn money in various ways.

Coincidentally, Chen Sufeng took over the list of manual translation online and tried to learn Latin by himself for a period of time.

…because the unit price per Latin list is higher.

Chen Sufeng's Latin proficiency is actually very average, at most he stays at "barely understand" and "barely can hear".

However, Chen Sufeng heard that Mr. Madinson's expression was also very elementary.

… This is not a language he is good at.

He was speechless, so he could only listen intently, picking up the Latin memory that he had abandoned for a while.

Madinson took a long breath after unskilledly reporting a long list of premises.

"My wish is an extension of Miss Lee's wish..."

He said this in English.

But the content of the official wish, he still used Latin.

Because he only knows the simplest words in Latin, he speaks very slowly.

"I hope... in terms of the time since 'Everything'... the game is officially launched... Don't let the players who died after the 10th month... come back to life. Except for them, the players can live."

The female voice finally cheered up.

She smiled and said, "It's just that some time conditions have been added, and there is no essential contradiction with the previous wishes."

"Congratulations to Mr. Madinson for making his wish. Your wish will come true."

Chen Sufeng's hands against the wall suddenly froze.

… what is he doing

What did he just say

At the same time, Nan Zhou also asked Jiang Fang with his eyes: What did he say

Jiang Fang shook his head slightly.

Jiang Fang is a language proficient, but it can only be used in practical applications.

There has long been no country for daily communication in Latin.

This is a dead language that remains only between the pages.

Since he could not get an answer from Jiang Fang, Nan Zhou went straight to ask the person concerned.

When Mr. Madinson left the wishing platform and elegantly planned to leave the air bubble, Nan Zhou, who had re-entered the air bubble, stopped him.

He went straight to the point: "What wish did you make?"

Madinson replied fluently: "I hope my children will be resurrected."

Nan Zhou: "It's too short."

Madinson: "Huh?"

Nan Zhou: "Your wish is too short. It's not like wishing for the resurrection of your children."

Madinson looked at Nan Zhou's young face with a smile on his lips.

He thought about how he designed to kill a large number of players in the late game in order to obtain a large number of points for a certain instance.

Madinson, who was in the waiting room, heard all the wishes of Li Yinhang and the others.

He had to give up his desire to make a fortune.

It is impossible for Madinson to let these players return to this world alive to trouble him with their memories.

Madinson felt restrained.

After all, when the dungeon is advanced to the later stage, it is already a big wave, and the people who are easy to die have died early, and there are very few people who really die in the dungeon.

It was just his plan to deceive "Lifang Ark" himself to resurrect his children.

There are five of them, and they are alone, and it is really difficult to win their sympathy without playing some emotional cards.

Especially the youngest boy surnamed Chen, who looked at him with eyes full of empathy.

Madinson came back to his senses and smiled softly: "My language is such that it can express precise content in a very refined form. Don't worry, my wishes have nothing to do with you."

He gestured with his hand: "Also, it's just an unimportant, small wish."

After all, Mr. Madinson smiled and nodded to Nan Zhou, and walked around from Nan Zhou's right shoulder.

Who would have thought, the next moment, Madinson's cheek made a bone-piercing muffled sound.

Chen Sufeng, number 6, who rushed out of the waiting room, hit him in the chin with a punch.

Madinson was in pain, his body fell back, and he fell on his back. Seeing that the back of his head was about to overturn the wishing platform, Nan Zhou on one side lifted his foot and supported Madinson's back, and then slapped him hard. With a kick in the spine, Mr. Madinson suddenly flew out of the air bubble like a mess of rubbish!

Chen Sufeng chased after him, then grabbed the hair of Madinson, who had fallen to the ground, and slammed his head to the ground.

Blood splattered!

In the extreme silence, Chen Sufeng fell into extreme madness.

He beat Madinson silently, his fists dripping with blood.

Every time he slammed his fist down, he seemed to be asking, why

Why are you doing this

Madinson's lips were cracked, his cheeks were swollen, and blood was dripping from the corners of his mouth.

When the incident happened suddenly, he couldn't even shout, and he could only use his swollen eyes to look at the mushroom in the distance for help.

But Mushroom held a pair of short hands and looked at all this with a smile.

His wish has come true.

The goal of the high-dimensional people to make them unhappy is half achieved.

Does it matter whether Mr. Madinson is alive or dead

After he vented his anger to a certain extent, Nan Zhou pressed Chen Sufeng's shoulder from behind and pointed in the direction of the wishing platform.

There was only a single candle left, burning its only life in loneliness.

Do not hit.

No matter what your reasons are for hitting him, you won't have enough time to make a wish.

Chen Sufeng said nothing.

He stared at Nan Zhou with his red eyes, his eyelashes were trembling, and even the hand holding Madinson's collar was shaking, and his throat kept choking softly, as if silent. pleading.

Nan Zhou: "Okay, I understand."

He half-knelt down and rescued poor Mr. Madinson from Chen Sufeng's trembling hands.

As if he was granted amnesty, Mr. Madinson firmly grasped Nan Zhou's clothes as if he was holding on to a life-saving straw.

Nan Zhou gently supported his head with both hands.

He mouthed to Madinson: What did you wish for

Madinson was in unbearable pain and was still thinking about how to deal with it, when Nan Zhou said with his mouth again: Forget it, I don't care.

With a click, Madinson's neck was neatly twisted 120 degrees.

Li Yinhang was surprised: "...Hey."

Nan Zhou put down Madinson's body, knelt down on one knee, looked at Li Yinhang, and shrugged nonchalantly.

—If your wish can come true, he who died in the game will surely be resurrected, right
