Forces of Temptation

Chapter 47: Sand, sand, sand (12)

The time when Hu Li sent this message was late at night on the 23rd.

Hu Li hid under the quilt, sweating in cold sweat, and repeatedly sent WeChat to remind Sun Guojing that the danger was standing by his bedside.

However, Sun Guojing's mobile phone seemed to be muted, and there was no sound.

He stretched his muscles, mustered great courage, and stuck an eye out of the quilt in sweat.

The shadow is still there.

And, he is staring at himself.

Hu Li saw that it was his own face.

At that time, Hu Li shouted like Sun Guojing who felt something in the bed for the first time.

It is said that this is the sixth time he has heard the sound of "rustling".

It is also said that when he screamed, the entire dormitory was silent.

No hostel came knocking on the door.

Everyone slept soundly, leaving him alone in endless terror.

Hu Li jumped up, turned on the headlights, and shook all his roommates madly.

They finally woke up.

However, the answers they gave made Hu Li even more horrified.

"Have you had a nightmare?"

"Turn off the lights, it's half past three, we'll be training tomorrow!"

Hu Li burst into tears, the more excited he became, the more unclear he was, and he bit his tongue in a hurry.

He cried to Sun Guojing vaguely: "I can't be dreaming! I sent you a WeChat! I told you that there is someone beside your bed!!"

Sun Guojing squinted his eyes, touched the phone, flipped through the records, and threw the phone directly into Hu Li's arms: "Where did you send it to me? What did you send? Is it hysterical?"

The sluggish Hu Li was pushed back to the bed by his three brothers.

He was curled up in the blanket where the sweat and body temperature were still there, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

The above content is all from Sun Guojing's mobile phone.

Later, Hu Li stayed up all night, recorded everything he had experienced since he heard the rustling sound, and sent it to everyone he knew.

He tried his best to maintain his last connection with the world.

As for the outcome, they all know.

AI slowly recited the long text written by Hu Li.

"Everything has changed since we entered that classroom."

"You can't hear me more and more, and you can't see me more and more."

"Why am I still in the dormitory, and you ask, where did Hu Li go?"

"Why am I the only one doing this? Did I do something wrong?"

"When playing football, Jiaming told me that he heard that sound."

"I told me about my situation, but he didn't believe it. Because he only heard it once."

"Let's get together again and have a good talk, okay?"

"I haven't confessed to Yinhang yet, but she can't hear my confession now."

"Will my parents forget me too? I don't know if this is good or bad. The good thing is that they won't be sad. The bad thing is... the bad thing is... "

The despair between the words, and the AI's cold tone, where every character is perfectly spaced, form a strong and incongruous sense of dislocation.

After listening to this cry, the chills on everyone's body lingered for a long time.

Hu Li's message proved that they had provoked a kind of power.

This power secretly deceives their "feelings".

It changed and distorted their cognition, so that when Jiang Fang posted that terrifying post for fishing, everyone, even Hu Li's classmates, were enthusiastically discussing "Who is Hu Li".

Because everyone forgot.

Because of this, it cannot be accommodated in any campus legend.

It has always existed on this campus.

After roughly figuring out their current situation, Sun Guojing's fear became stronger, but his mental instability was slowly being lifted.

Because confusion is the main factor that affects the san value.

The effects of despair and fear are, relatively speaking, much smaller.

Before Sun Guojing's san value fell to 1, its downward momentum waddled to an end.

Seeing that the trio were dazed by the fact that they couldn't listen to anything they said, the three decided to leave for the time being.

Before leaving, Jiang Fang left a message of "contact if something happens".

I don't know if they heard it or not.

Nan Zhou, Jiang Fang and Li Yinhang walked down the stairs slowly.

Nan Zhou said: "In this way, the relationship chain also makes sense."

There were a total of nine people participating in the party that day.

Sun Guojing, Luo Ge, Qi Tianyun, and Hu Li naturally need not be mentioned.

Qi Tianyun took advantage of Xie Xiangyu's shortcomings in the mathematics department and threatened him to be his errand boy.

Xie Xiangyu's friend Zuo Jiaming in the dormitory is also a friend of Hu Li.

They often play football together.

… The one they played often was the football they parked against the radiator when they entered the dormitory.

And Hu Li obviously knew and had a crush on Li Yinhang, a girl from the Statistics Department, so he invited her to play together.

Because all the boys attending the party, Li Yinhang called his high school friend Nan Zhou for safety.

Nan Zhou brought his boyfriend Jiang Fang with him.

The two missing links are filled, and the relationship between the characters is completely smooth.

Li Yinhang's face was very bad.

Although she is only the player "Li Yinhang" and is not involved in the interpersonal relationship before the dungeon, any normal person who hears a person who has a secret love for him disappearing into the world like an air silently disappears into the world. Inevitably sad.

She asked reluctantly, "...why was Hu Li the first?"

As he kept asking, why him

This was originally an unimportant question, and it can be summed up entirely with the word "unlucky".

But Nan Zhou actually started to analyze seriously.

Nan Zhou said, "Because he is the most important."

Nan Zhou said: "The role of 'Hu Li' is the most important part of the dungeon character relationship, connecting Yinhang and the second disappearing Zuo Jiaming. If one of us played the role when we came in The original character of 'Hu Li', his mobile phone will provide too many clues. This makes the copy less interesting."

Nan Zhou said: "This is determined by the game settings."

Nan Zhou's logic and way of thinking are as ingenious as the last world commentary and analysis ghost "can't give people a bright memory".

Li Yinhang was unable to say anything.

For the first time, she had the real sense that she was being played by the damn game Gravity.

And just when she was highly tense, there was a faint rustling sound like an echo in the silent stairway.

No, the source of the sound is not in the stairway.

in her ear canal.

sand…

sand…

"It's here again..." she murmured in a moaning tone. "It's here again..."

Covering her ears, she sat down on the stairs and clasped her head.

gt;

/gt;

With her last strength, she said, "I'll take a seat."

Nan Zhou and Jiang Fang, who had already taken the first few steps, stopped.

Noticing that Li Yinhang's shoulders trembled slightly, Nan Zhou was a little confused.

He wanted to go up and pat her, but Jiang Fang tapped her waist lightly from behind, signaling him to stay still.

Next, Jiang Fang silently sat beside Li Yinhang.

Nan Zhou intends to follow suit.

However, since Li Yinhang was sitting against the railing, Nan Zhou could only sit next to Jiang Fang, with his head poking out to see Li Yinhang's condition.

Jiang Fang understood Li Yinhang's collapse very well.

Or, to be more precise, she has only collapsed now, and is already quite able to carry it.

Looking back on the way they have traveled, in the trial level, although the development was rushed, the good thing is that the space is closed, the number of people is limited, and there are traces to follow.

In the first instance, the space was opened up a bit, and the difficulty was increased, but it was still within a reasonable range.

Although the three teams have occasional disputes, temptations and concealments, they still trust each other in the general direction.

After a near-miss, in the Douzhuan Casino during the break, he completely defeated the boss Qu Jinsha.

He didn't win a lot, but he was quite excited.

Then, just when their morale was at their highest, they randomly got this confusing dungeon.

The map is too big all of a sudden, but there are too few clues.

Not to mention the three teams relying on each other, not counting each other and coaxing each other to die is fine.

Not to mention that there is still a powerful force that they can't fight at all.

Every minute they lived was like opening a blind box.

No one knows who will be wiped out next.

If it was said that their emotions were a fire of hope before, the second level was the pot of cold water poured down from the sky.

In front of them, the clues that were so easy to find proved their powerlessness.

In the face of that power, they seem to have no initiative at all.

As the copy requirement said, "alive" and "not crazy", it is already very difficult to do these two things.

Jiang Fang was thinking, Nan Zhou was thinking, and of course Li Yinhang was thinking too.

After carefully reconsidering his emotional direction, Li Yinhang cheered up a little.

Because she has worked in customer service, her ability to withstand pressure is quite OK.

She rubbed her face and raised her head: "I'm fine..."

...then she saw the apple that Nan Zhou held up in front of her and shrank back.

Nan Zhou hugged the apple and said a little reluctantly, "...It's fine."

However, in the end, the apple was broken into three pieces by Nanzhou Kacha Kacha, and divided equally among three people.

After consuming a little sugar, Li Yinhang's pale complexion finally improved.

She said: "I didn't like apples before. Now I think it's a good thing to be able to eat them."

"I love to eat apples." Nan Zhou said, "When I was young, I never ate apples. When I grew up, I fell in love with it."

Li Yinhang snorted, and his mind couldn't help but move.

She has always had a sense of marginality with the two bosses.

Even when they lived together for a few days, they were just talking about which snack bar was cheaper.

This was the first time she heard Nan Zhou mention his past.

Li Yinhang suddenly wanted to talk.

She lowered her head with an expression of unconcealed frustration: "I miss my parents."

Jiang Fang and Nan Zhou's expressions were calm.

Although it is inferred from common sense that 24-year-old Li Yinhang's parents should also be in the game.

But according to how Li Yinhang was more concerned about the safety of her roommate after being brought into the copy, her parents should at least be safe.

Li Yinhang said softly, "They are all in the 'cocoon room' in the city next door,"

"I was born to my mother when she was 39."

"I have a sister who had an accident when I was 17. My mother only wanted me."

"Her name is Li Yinhang, so my name is Li Yinhang too. But they all love me and treat me well."

"She is always only 17 years old. I don't want my parents to think of me in a hundred years, and I can only think of me when I was 24 years old."

After confiding his greatest fear, Li Yinhang buried his face in his palm and calmed down before turning his tense, slightly crying tone into a normal one: "How about you?"

"I did come back from Ukraine after my parents died."

Jiang Fang has long hands and long legs, and when he stretches out on the stairs, his scale is amazing, and he looks good no matter how he fiddles.

He rested his elbows on his knees and said, "My mother used to be from City C. I came back to live here and walk around to see if the places she mentioned to me before are still there. ."

Li Yinhang asked, "Brother Fang, what exactly do you do?"

Jiang Fang smiled and said, "I didn't lie, I'm really a homeless person."

It's Nanzhou's turn.

Nan Zhou said, "I have parents. I also have a younger sister."

He thought for a while, then added: "I don't know where they are now."

There was no emotion in his face or heart.

After these days of getting along, Li Yinhang could see that although Nan Zhou was not good at expressing his heart, he was cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

People who can say "you must have the ability to protect yourself" will not be indifferent.

... but he was reluctant to mention his relatives.

After finally having such an opportunity to communicate with each other, you can shorten the distance and upgrade your thighs to become the thighs of friendship. Li Yinhang asked with a very positive attitude: "Mr. Nan, where did you go to college?"

Nan Zhou answered succinctly, "Xinhua."

Xinhua College

The art and design department of that school is indeed nationally famous.

"And then graduated from the teaching fund?"

Nan Zhou: "Yeah."

"Is the child easy to teach?"

"It's hard."

"Do you mainly teach watercolor, drawing, or oil painting?"

"All teach."

Li Yinhang felt that he was chatting hard with his back molars clenched.

It turns out that Nan Zhou only talks a lot when he wants to talk.

Seeing that this journey of friendship is about to fall into the sand here in Nanzhou, Li Yinhang asked casually, "Have you ever talked about a girlfriend?"

… Nan Zhou stopped talking.

Li Yinhang: "..."

Li Yinhang: "?"

Li Yinhang: "???"

You are not right.

Aware of the silence beside him, Jiang Fang also turned his head.

"Mr. Nan, do you have any?" He smiled lightly, "I don't seem to know this part."

Nan Zhou looked up at the two of them.

After a long silence, he opened his mouth.

"Don't you think that Xie Xiangyu is strange?"

Li Yinhang: "..."

Why can a smart person like Nan Zhou be so blunt when it comes to discussing topics? :,
