Forces of Temptation

Chapter 49: Sand, sand, sand (14)

Views:

Nanzhou and the others happened to enter 403 at 7:30 pm on this day last week.

For the remaining hours, the three of them compiled what they had brought with them when they stepped into the dead end a week ago, based on the messages on their phones.

They're going to repeat what they did last Friday.

During this night visit, they called the Sun Guojing trio.

Sun Guojing didn't fight a single one, so he decided to go with them.

There is no reason for him. He has no way out.

When Hu Li heard the sixth "rustle" sound, it was difficult for them to perceive his presence.

Sun Guojing was only one step away from fading out of their world.

The six of them met again, sat together, and took the time to check the phone records, so that they could collect everything that everyone brought that day.

Fight for that day

Board games such as bridge, poker, flying chess, table curling, etc. are readily available.

These were prepared by Sun Guojing and the others. They didn't have time to unpack them after returning. They even packed them in a cloth bag and threw them on the edge of the balcony.

There are also two small tickets in the cloth bag, which are for supermarket and milk tea takeaway.

The ticket time is the evening of that day.

To restore as much as possible what happened on the 21st, they ordered the same thing.

Jiang Fang also specially added sugar to the milk tea in Nanzhou.

After writing down the skewers and beer on Nanjie, Nanzhou looked around: "Is there anything wrong?"

No echo.

He said "um": "Then..."

Who would have thought, the next second, his wrist was suddenly grabbed.

With all his strength, Sun Guojing grabbed his wrist, and the veins on his neck burst out.

Under the grip of a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw, Nan Zhou's face was painless, just staring at his deformed and white fingers.

Sun Guojing stretched out the phone in his hand, almost poking Nan Zhou's face, his teeth chattering under his pale lips, but he couldn't say a word.

Faced with such a rush of Sun Guojing, Nan Zhou said calmly: "Well, tell me, I'll write it down."

As if he hadn't forgotten the existence of Sun Guojing just now.

He treated Sun Guojing with an ordinary attitude so that he would not panic.

But that didn't do much.

The five-year-old man squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying: "I... have been holding up my mobile phone... I will read you what to bring..."

He looked around: "Actually... none of you noticed me just now, did you?"

Luo Ge and Qi Tianyun's eye circles also turned red, but they still echoed Nan Zhou: "I didn't forget, I didn't forget. How can I forget."

Sun Guojing curled up helplessly, his face turned pale, the masseter muscles on his face bulged, and then shriveled down again.

After alleviating the panic, he picked up his mobile phone, hoarse his voice, and added: "...I want to buy another cake. I placed the order using the takeaway software, and I specially noted that I should add more cream, so that everyone can play with it. …and seven or eight tins of hand-sprayed color bars.”

After he finished speaking, he kept the cat on the bed still, his eyes were straight, but his eyes were still staring at the crowd.

Nan Zhou looked back at him for a while, but said nothing.

The two Rozi brothers were on one side, with Ren Ren squeezed beside him, chatting some gossip.

Sun Guojing didn't say anything, he hung his head and was speechless for a while.

The brothers dared to talk to him. Luo Ge even recalled the barbecue stall that the three of them opened together, saying that he didn't know if he was still there when he went back, and the tables, chairs and benches were still incomplete, and he couldn't open one.

At this moment, Sun Guojing said thoughtlessly, "You two... don't go."

He said: "There is no one person in the barbecue stall, and there are still one. It can't be all three."

The "non-existent place" mentioned by Zuo Jiaming in the message before his death is the source of disaster.

If you choose to go in after a week, no one can say whether it is a desperate situation or a sheep into the tiger's mouth.

Luo Ge and Qi Tianyun were both silent.

Didn't say yes, didn't say no.

The atmosphere in the bedroom was oppressive for a while.

Seeing that the task was almost completed, Jiang Fang got up first and made an appointment to meet them downstairs in the sports department at seven o'clock.

Autumn days always get dark very early.

In the daytime, the Maple Leaf Avenue floats with light and gold, and the red shadows are dazzling, and the beauty is breathtaking.

But once the night fell, the maple leaves were blown everywhere by the cold wind, and they glanced at them suddenly, like a small palm that had been lost on the ground.

At the moment when the slightly brittle leaves that were dehydrated were smashed by a single person who was driving at night, the "rustling" sound made people shiver several times, suspecting that the force was approaching.

In the end, only Sun Guojing emerged from the dormitory of the sports department.

He wrapped his clothes and said in a suppressed tone, "Let's go."

The group of four crossed Maple Leaf Avenue, carrying the hustle and bustle of the campus, farther and farther.

The feeling during the day is not strong enough, and when I visit at night, I realize how desolate the fifth floor is.

When there were more than 200 meters from the east fifth floor, the street lights were already broken.

Boom—

Boom—

There was a strange and clear sound in the flashing street light bulb.

Nan Zhou unscrewed the flashlight in advance.

The flashlight swept across a fan-shaped arc, illuminating part of the road ahead.

But this did not effectively alleviate the fears in other people's hearts.

The place that was irradiated by the light became darker and darker, as if unnamed giants were dormant, just waiting for the opportunity to swallow them.

It was easy to get to the fifth floor of the east.

At the moment when they stepped into the corridor and the voice-activated sensor light came on, Nan Zhou and Jiang Fang felt that both of them breathed a sigh of relief behind them.

Around seven twenty.

They arrived at the door of Room 403.

Sun Guojing rubbed his frozen palms, brought them to his lips, let out a bit of heat as if venting, and walked to the front.

He put his hand on the doorknob and stopped for a long time.

It was as if that was his judgment seat.

It's his way of reincarnation.

He stood still, and Nan Zhou and the others stood still with him.

After waiting around 7:30, Sun Guojing raised his wrist to look at his watch. After confirming the time, he gritted his teeth and was about to press the doorknob—

The door was one step ahead of him, slowly opening inwards, bringing half of Sun Guojing's body into the darkness.

Before Sun Guojing had time to be afraid, the light was turned on with a snap.

He fell into a bright light.

Luo Ge and Qi Tianyun, who left the dormitory early, did not know when 403 came.

And apparently waited a long time inside.

"Didn't you say you're going to have a party?" Luo Ge laughed exaggeratedly. It was a forced laugh. He was obviously afraid that if he relaxed his muscles, his whole expression would collapse.

Ominous.

When Luo Ge turned his head, he showed him a room full of balloons and ribbons: "Let's see the brothers make a big one for you."

Qi Tianyun said, "There are dangers everywhere, it's better to have a few brothers together."

Classroom 403, which was originally rather simple, was dressed up in various colors, giving it a bright rustic vibe.

If Li 403 is the habitat of a mysterious force, seeing that his family has been tossed into such a state, he will immediately give up the goal of Sun Guojing, and use Luo Qi and the two to exhale.

Sun Guojing didn't say anything, he hugged the two brothers with one arm and buried his face on their shoulders, his body trembling.

After the poor and tossing of the two of Rozi, it was like a real gathering of friends.

Six people sat on the floor in the space between the podium and the stepped seats.

Sun Guojing handed Nanzhou a can of beer.

Nan Zhou waved his hand, touched his cup of milk tea with sugar and half a cup full of ingredients, and drank it slowly.

No one could see that, twenty or so hours ago, three of the six people had intended to rob the other three, but they were all robbed by the backhand.

The three of "Longtan" began to change the cups, and soon became slightly drunk.

Sun Guojing scolded: "Xie Xiangyu, the elf, just wants us to find the way for him!"

Nan Zhou peacefully tried to communicate with the drunk: "Does he still contact you again?"

I don't think there will be any more.

The monitoring thing is exposed, Xie Xiangyu will come back to see them again, it will be a ghost.

Although Sun Guojing and the others didn't know about the surveillance, they had figured out the fact that he was using it as a pathfinder.

Sun Guojing said: "He didn't, I contacted him."

He waved his hand in the air: "I called and scolded him!"

Nan Zhou held the milk tea and waited for the following.

Sun Guojing took a sip, spit, and said angrily: "Damn, I spent a long time drooling, only to find that this kid put his mobile phone on the speakerphone and put it aside, and burned my little ten. Five minutes of calls."

Nan Zhou bit the matcha-flavored taro ball and did not speak.

What does Xie Xiangyu want

He acts alone.

He clearly discovered the famous brand before everyone else, neither withholding and exclusive clues, but also not telling them any clues.

He hid in a corner of the huge campus, spying on their every move.

In such an overwhelming supernatural copy, he refused to cooperate, refused to contact, as if there was no fear at all.

Completely counterintuitive behavior.

What is he thinking

In other words, what is he going to gain by dormancy and waiting

Jiang Fang held a can of hawthorn juice and asked him softly, "What are you thinking about?"

Nan Zhou told the truth: "Xie Xiangyu."

Jiang Fang: "Ah, him. He's a very interesting person."

Nan Zhou was immediately attracted: "Why do you say that?"

Jiang Fang took a sip of hawthorn juice: "I can probably understand what he wants to do."

Nan Zhou pricked up his ears.

Jiang Fang put the jar of hawthorn juice to his lips and said softly, "If I were a single player, I might play like this too."

It's a pity that now I have my family and my family, and some things can't be done.

Nan Zhou stared at his profile, thoughtfully.

... Jiang Fang's expression at the moment just now was the same as when he was calculating the golden sand in the casino.

The corners of his mouth are always upturned, and his eyes are sharp like a wolf.

Nan Zhou blinked and thought, a little cute.

Nan Zhou still wanted to ask questions, but thinking about Jiang Fang's knowledge, rounding up was a precaution.

Xie Xiangyu is not very important.

It is imperative to figure out how they got into the "non-existent" and how to get out of this force.

The 403 during the day is no different from the current 403.

Graffiti on tables and chairs, portraits of great men staring at them on the walls, windows that look dull because of anti-reflective film...

It can be said that there is no exception.

Of course, if the characters they played had really changed significantly a week ago when they reveled in classroom 403, they should have noticed.

No way.

So, how about a different way of thinking

Nearly a day and a night of suffocation, horror and high pressure, the three brothers simply regarded this exploration as a hearty venting journey.

As the beer was poured down one by one, Sun Guojing's courage rose one by one.

After a while, he was already arrogant, and he had the courage to fight freely with the initiator behind the mysterious power.

The noise they make is really not small.

Nan Zhou sat closer to Jiang Fang, holding his milk tea and talking to him: "How do you feel?"

He was referring to the feeling of being affected by that power.

Jiang Fang shook his head: "Not yet."

There are no signs of ghosts coming, such as cooling down, flickering light bulbs, etc. in the movie.

In order to confirm, Jiang Fang took out the "sixth sense cross" hanging around his neck.

The cross is intact.

In addition, when he went to the supermarket to buy apples at the fruit stand this afternoon, Jiang Fang only heard rustling twice.

He didn't see a ghost, the cross naturally --gt;gt;

Not useful.

Nan Zhou: "This force is too irreversible. We can do too little."

Jiang Fang smiled: "This is not what Teacher Nan should say."

Nan Zhou looked at Jiang Fang and nodded, "... um. I haven't finished speaking yet."

As Nan Zhou said, this force is too overbearing.

Strong power - able to obliterate the existence of people themselves.

Accurate positioning - Zuo Jiaming used the elevator and the archives when he escaped, but he still couldn't get around it.

Incorporeal - When danger comes, only the rustling sound of tinnitus fills the ear, and the ghost that appears is also incorporeal, and it cannot be harmed at all.

It's terrifying to the point of incomprehension.

but-

"It's already so powerful, it looks like there are almost no loopholes." Nan Zhou said, "If its other parts are just as complicated, then the game can't be played."

Nan Zhou said, "So, it must have a weakness."

"For this power alone, we need to understand two things: first, how it quietly appeared around us; second, how it chose the order of obliteration."

"The first one, since it is 'quietly', it is still one of the characteristics of unsolvable horror. It is not suitable for current inferences."

"So, simple, very likely the order of obliteration."

Jiang Fang: "..." is really a simple reverse idea.

Nan Zhou has not completely cleared his mind.

So, he relied on broken thoughts to clarify the current clues: "The result of our investigation in one day is to sort out the relationship between the characters."

"The first person to die was Hu Li, a sports student. The second person to die was Zuo Jiaming. It was most likely Sun Guojing, then Yinhang and I..."

"In the setting, Hu Li and Zuo Jiaming will play together and have a good relationship."

"My relationship with Yinhang is also very good."

"She was worried that it would be inconvenient to play with a group of boys. I'm here to keep her safe..."

As he chanted, Nan Zhou's eyes suddenly lit up.

He said to Jiang Fang, "... cell phone."

In a blink of an eye, six mobile phones were placed in front of him.

According to the information left by Zuo Jiaming, after hearing the sixth rustling sound, their ability to convey information to the outside world with the help of material carriers will disappear.

It's like being on an island.

This is also the reason why the message left by Zuo Jiaming cannot be seen with the naked eye.

Therefore, Nan Zhou needed to race against time to verify his thoughts before Sun Guojing heard the sixth rustling.

Fortunately, that force did not interfere with them at such a critical moment.

Soon, after intensive integration, Nan Zhou got the clue he wanted.

Under Sun Guojing's hopeful gaze, Nan Zhou first came to a conclusion.

"What affects the order of obliteration is the order in which we enter."

"The party that day officially started at 7:30. But the order in which we entered the classroom varied."

He pointed to Sun Guojing's cell phone.

At 7:10, a message to Luo Ge was displayed: "I'm here, but Lao Hu's little lover hasn't arrived yet, haha, he's as anxious as a monkey."

Luo Ge replied: "Civilized monkey watching. Leave a viewing spot for me and Lao Qi."

From this, it can be seen that at 7:10, Sun Guojing arrived at the meeting place; Luo Ge and Qi Tianyun hadn't arrived yet, and "Lao Hu's little lover" Li Yinhang was not there either.

Hu Li and Zuo Jiaming are known to be the first and second victims.

If you follow the order of entering the classroom, that is, the order of being victimized, everything will make sense.

Although Sun Guojing has always been in charge of the key to 403, of course he can hand over the key to his roommate Hu Li and let him unlock it first.

Hu Li was the first to open the door and entered the classroom.

His golfer Zuo Jiaming followed closely.

Sun Guojing arrived at 7:10.

As for Nan Zhou and Li Yinhang, they were right behind Sun Guojing.

Previously, since the chat messages between Nan Zhou, Jiang Fang and Li Yinhang only mentioned the special relationship between Jiang Fang and Nan Zhou, and the agreement to arrive in classroom 403 before 7:30, they once took it for granted that Nan Zhou and Jiang Fang were came together.

However, Jiang Fang, as Nan Zhou's object, did not fully disclose their romance, and it was not natural for them to be together.

The reason why Li Yinhang asked Nan Zhou to accompany him was because of his own safety.

So it makes sense for her and Nan Zhou to come at the same time.

Xie Xiangyu came at about 7:20, because at 7:21, Sun Guojing sent another WeChat message to Luo Ge:

"If you don't come, the butter will be cold."

Nan Zhou was not sure whether Xie Xiangyu came before or after himself and Li Yinhang.

But he must come before Luo Ge and Qi Tianyun.

Jiang Fang was the last to come.

Because according to the conclusion, Jiang Fang was the last to hear the rustling sound.

In this case, everything is right.

If Classroom 403 itself is a huge, silent, natural mouth that only opens to those who visit it in the middle of the night...

Then the order in which it obliterates people is the order in which they enter the door.

If the clue they came up with is true and reliable, then...

This time Qi Tianyun reacted very quickly, and almost jumped up with excitement: "We just need to disrupt the order and enter the door again at the same time, can't we solve it!!"

Qi Tianyun felt that he had guessed correctly, and he spoke faster and faster: "That's right, that's right! It's right, it must be right!"

"If we enter the door again, the order in which the door obliterates us will be disrupted!"

"Those of us who hear the rustling sound less often, if we push forward, we will take turns, and even if the number of times is not cleared after each disturbance, we can always endure it for five days!"

"Just right! It's just such a coincidence! Lao Luo and I were afraid that you wouldn't let us come, so we came in early!"

He jumped up and grabbed the shoulder of Sun Guojing who was still in a daze: "Old Sun! We have been drinking for more than an hour, have you still heard the rustling? Ah? How long has it been since the last time I heard it? "

Sun Guojing was dumbfounded: "Uh... In addition to the afternoon, it's seven or eight hours..."

Qi Tianyun hugged Sun Guojing's neck tightly, and roared incoherently: "Saved! Old Sun! You are saved! You are all right! The next person who hears the rustling will be my turn! The target will also be me. I have a lot more times, and we are all saved!"

Nan Zhou: "...Is that so?"

But his voice was drowned in roars and cheers.

He looked at Jiang Fang.

Jiang Fang leaned close to his ear, and the warm air blew on his earlobe, itching: "Their reasoning may also be reasonable, why don't you try it first."

After thinking about it slowly, Sun Guojing, who found that he could really escape the catastrophe, was in high spirits, and he drank freely, drinking more and more uncontrollably.

With each sip, the feeling of crawling out of the edge of death became clearer.

He even came to toast Nan Zhou.

After standing in front of Nan Zhou, Sun Guojing bowed deeply without saying a word.

"My Sun Guojing thank you, thank you very much." Sun Guojing said, "It's all in the wine."

He swung the beer can at Nan Zhou and drank most of it in one gulp.

Nan Zhou took a straw in his mouth and gently blew bubbles inside.

Sun Guojing put down the beer can, wiped his mouth, and said, "Thank you for saving me twice. The first time was just now, and the second time was in the dormitory. If you hadn't explained it to me, I would have lost my s-value. ."

Nan Zhou: "… "

But Nan Zhou did not correct him: "Well."

"Your s-value is quite high, right?" Sun Guojing's tongue had already drank a lot, and his words were not very clear, "I don't think you are too afraid. You are a man, and it was my Sun Guojing that happened in the past. It's not authentic, I want to make you a friend... "

Nan Zhou: "… "

He took a quick step back.

He frowned and thought, people are so frivolous now.

Is it possible to be a "friend" at will

Sun Guojing was already drunk, of course he didn't notice Nan Zhou's evasion.

He blinked his eyes and found that Nan Zhou was missing from the focal length.

He staggered two steps, laughed, and went on to find his two good brothers.

The alcohol is really intoxicating.

In addition, Nan Zhou and the others wanted to verify whether Qi Tianyun's inference was true, so they had no position.

After a while, Nan Zhou gradually became sleepy.

The bright lights in front of him also turned into scattered, furry halos.

Holding on to the last bit of consciousness, he wanted to find two chairs together to lie down.

But as soon as he set off, his head was lightly pressed by a hand, which led him to lean to one side and rested on a piece of warm skin.

Jiang Fang looked down at him and smiled, "Why did you lie on my lap?"

Nan Zhou: "… "

I didn't take the initiative to lie down.

There seems to be something wrong.

never mind.

In the middle of the night, three brothers who had had a relationship with each other were very drunk.

Li Yinhang sat on the ground with his buttocks, lying on the chair beside him, and slept soundly.

Nan Zhou rested on Jiang Fang's lap, while Jiang Fang sat quietly, gently stroking the tear mole under Nan Zhou's eyes with his fingertips, and looked at everything around him soberly.

Sun Guojing fell drunk on the stairs.

He was lying on the cold hard floor, throwing seventeen or eight empty beer cans beside him.

The smell of alcohol came out of his breath heavily.

He slept a little uncomfortable, twisted his waist, scratched the exposed part of his lower abdomen, and turned his body to the other side.

And right now.

-sand-

-sand-

-sand-

The thin sound of "shasha" turned into a long syllable.

Like a fingernail pressed on a blackboard, it was slowly pulled, making a long and thin sharp sound.

But Sun Guojing slept too soundly.

He didn't hear.

Jiang Fang naturally couldn't hear the subtle sound that sounded beside Sun Guojing's ears.

When the fish maw white appeared in the sky, he held his head and gave himself half an hour to rest.

The night passed like that.

Luo Ge was woken up by Qi Tianyun.

He stared blankly at the messy classroom after the carnival, obviously still not able to digest the current situation.

Luo Ge wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth: "Why did you sleep here..."

At this time, Nan Zhou just woke up.

While awake, he massaged Jiang Fang's leg that was said to be numb.

Qi Tianyun and Li Yinhang were busy cleaning up the remnants with empty plastic bags.

"Oh!" After a long memory, Luo Ge, who finally recovered the memory before the fragment, waved his fist excitedly, "Have we found a solution to the problem!"

Qi Tianyun also had a beaming expression on his face: "This is the best. Let's do it again tonight..."

As he said that, he looked at Jiang Fang: "Jiang Fang, right? You have the least number of times. You can come again tonight to share the burden for the two teammates in your team!"

Jiang Fang squeezed the base of his thigh, and murmured, as if he had responded.

Qi Tianyun picked up the full garbage bag, grabbed the key on the table, and said to Luo Ge naturally, "Let's go!"

Seeing the two of them exit the door of 403, Li Yinhang also saw hope, turned around and said with a smile, "Let's go too!"

Nan Zhou helped Jiang Fang to stand up.

Jiang Fang jumped two steps, and a faint light flashed from his neck.

Nan Zhou looked at the "Sixth Sense Cross" hanging on Jiang Fang's neck, and the tip of his eyebrows narrowed slightly.

... Who did he get this prop from

When he was thinking about this question, he had already helped Jiang Fang out of 403.

Qi Tianyun locked the door, shook the key, leaned on Luo Ge's shoulder, and walked towards the abundant sunshine outside with a smile.

On the other hand, Sun Guojing, who was sleeping on the stairs, slept soundly in the dark and dull classroom 403 with the curtains closed. :,
