Forces of Temptation

They went out to sea in a passenger boat converted from a fishing boat.

In addition to the "Cube Ark", there is also a diving guide, a captain, two crew members, and two Malay tourists.

The warm southerly wind with the smell of sea salt blew his black hair into a mess.

The sunset dyed the sea area into a pot of gold, and also faintly melted the wings of the returning seagulls.

At dusk, there are dolphins jumping in the water, stirring the sea surface into a shimmering, warm shattered gold.

Nanzhou looked at the dolphin intently, made no fuss, and only recorded it all with her eyes.

He is like a quiet little monster, and his temperament naturally forms a barrier.

If you want to describe it, he is a character who occupies a space in the comics and is isolated from other characters, forming a small world by itself.

As for Jiang Fang, his ability is that he can be friends with anyone as long as he wants.

Just now he was haggling with the dive guide, and he was so gentle that he was speechless. Now, he took the initiative to have a relationship with him, and even taught him some other things. The skills and tricks of the diving hot spots to attract guests.

In less than half an hour, the dive guide had already become a buddy of him, patted his chest, and said in Thai with a little accent that he would give them an extra fish tonight.

He used a cigarette to point in the direction of Nanzhou, and curiously asked Jiang Fang in blunt Chinese: "Is that... your friend?"

With a sizzle, Jiang Fang ignited the handmade cigarette, held it in his mouth, and replied vaguely, "Yes."

The dive guide said: "He is very strange."

He rubbed the ends of his hair with a filter, rubbed some salt into it, rummaged through the limited Chinese vocabulary for a while, and commented: "He doesn't look like a human being. "

His description was somewhat rude, but also quite to the point.

—Many people dare not get close to Nanzhou, also because Nanzhou is beautiful, but because the proportions, lines and facial features of the body are too perfect, it seems to come out of the painting, it is beautiful and false, it seems At any time, it will be dissipated as the waves are wetted.

Jiang Fang tilted his head: "It's very pretty."

Dive guide: "Good-looking is good-looking..."

Jiang Fang moved the filter aside with his tongue and smiled, "Mine."

The dive guide gave a meaningful "oh" and gave Jiangfang a thumbs up.

Jiang Fang smiled and nodded, smoked the cigarette, and walked to Nanzhou's side.

Nan Zhou turned sideways and made room for him: "You come to praise me for how good-looking I am?"

Jiang Fang stroked his ears with his fingers that smelled of smoke, and said with a smile: "The ears are quite pointed."

Nan Zhou: "How did you find this place?"

He thought that Jiang Fang may have asked the hotel owner's daughter, but his ear and memory are good, and he can hear it clearly. The place name they navigated to did not appear in Jiang Fang and the hotel. girl's conversation.

Jiang Fang also did not intend to hide.

He pulled the southern boat to the right side of the boat, and pointed to a green tree not far from the beach: "Did you see that place?"

Nanzhou: "Hmm."

Jiang Fang looked at him: "Five years later, this place has become a famous tourist attraction. There will be a real estate developed there, which is a small garden house, which is quite cheap."

Jiang Fang: "I just came back from the casino at the time, and I had some spare money in my hand."

Having said this, Nan Zhou probably understood.

Nanzhou: "—ah."

"Well." Jiang Fang was disturbed by his slightly long tail sound, and rubbed the back of his neck, "I have been here before. This is one of my houses, and in the future, there will be It could be our home..."

After thinking about it, he added a little: "One of..."

Nanzhou: "So, this copy is..."

Jiang Fang said frankly: "It was Tyrande from the world I came from five years ago."

Nan Zhou was lying on the rail, "The person behind the game can manipulate time?"

He mused: "If that's the case, then a lot of wishes can indeed be fulfilled."

Jiang Fang also looked thoughtful.

It's just that what he thinks is completely different from Nanzhou.

Jiang Fang knew that they were in the dungeon and could not really indulge in playing,

He brought Nanzhou here, not only thinking about the beautiful scenery, but also wanting to verify his own ideas.

He happens to have a room in this place.

The dive guide who smoked a cigarette side by side with him just now is also his regular partner when he came to snorkel, and is his old friend in the real world.

This convinced Jiang Fang that this Tyrande was the Tyrande of the world he came from.

It's just that this time was cut and extracted separately as a copy.

Jiang Fang thinks this is very important.

Because it's about the strength of the people behind the scenes.

Before, he contacted Yi Shuige and Lin Zhisong to analyze the strength of the power behind the scenes.

...But at that time, they didn't have the intelligence that the other party could "manipulate time".

If they have the power to manipulate time, it means that the people behind the scenes can really accomplish many impossible wishes.

For example, bringing back the dead.

But at the same time, these players no longer have any room to resist, the initiative is completely in the hands of the other party, they can only be obedient and let it be.

They can even use this ability to erase their memory at the end of the game, leaving them stuck in endless game cycles forever.

But then a new problem was born.

If they all have the ability to manipulate time, then their measures against Nanzhou would be a bit stupid.

For example, after Nanzhou trapped the boss in the warehouse, they didn't need to update any patches at all, they just reversed the time, couldn't they just take out the boss?

Can’t switch back at will?

Is there no way to do this kind of tricks because of the live broadcast?

This is a very serious question, even if they can successfully get out of the game in the future.

Jiang Fang thought for a while, then looked back.

The pair of Malay tourists occupied the other end of the boat and kept taking pictures.

The potential guide is bragging with the crew, laughing.

These NPCs have no self-awareness of being NPCs at all.

They go out to travel, or live peacefully here, take guests out to sea every day, chat with them, and earn money that is not very rich, without feeling that their world has been invaded .

How many such small worlds are hidden between the end and the edge they can't see?

This kind of illusory feeling ended in Nanzhou's grasp.

Nan Zhou squeezed his wrist: "Stopped."

Jiang Fang came back to his senses: "Yes, we are here."

Nan Zhou: "Then you can teach me."

Jiang Fang took his hand and stroked his palm with his fingertips: "Well."

Since falling into this endless copy, Nanzhou is his unique reality among the thousands of virtual images.

Not far from them is a small island like a ridge.

The location of the dive site is very advantageous. It is located on a trench. The sea water is full of sunlight, and under the fire-like sunset, it shows moving gold.

The diving guide introduced that the sea conditions here are excellent, and the visibility under the sea can reach seventeen or eighteen meters in good weather.

Before the sunset, they dived in the golden current.

Nanzhou's swimming foundation is 0, but in terms of sports, his nerves are naturally superior and powerful.

After being taught by Jiang Fang with the belt for a while, he has learned three swimming styles, but he can't tread water like Jiang Fang, and he will sink when he stops.

Leaving the swimming ring, Jiang Fang is the only one Nanzhou can rely on in the water.

Jiangfang treads water very naturally, with toes and fish tails swaying slowly in the water, plus a little water separation on the arms, you can stand in the sea with the chest line on the sea One volt, one hidden one.

Nan Zhou hugged Jiang Fang's neck naturally: "Teach me."

Jiang Fang gently pressed his forehead against him, imitating the way undersea creatures say hello: "No teaching."

Nan Zhou: "If you don't teach me, I can only hug you."

Jiang Fang: "You're welcome, Teacher Nan."

So Nan Zhou took Jiang Fang as his transfer station.

After a few swims, he dives back, hugs his buoy, and rests for a while.

As for Li Yinhang, she only dares to paddle on the coast, and she is still a little afraid of night diving.

So after she promised not to go into the water, her solo travel expenses were reduced to 400 baht.

She stayed on the boat and grilled mackerel in peace.

The skin was creaky, the edges were slightly curled, and the tender fish inside was an attractive charred brown.

The crew of the dive guide and a part-time diving instructor also found their way and signaled in the water that they could come down.

After the ear pressure was done, put on protective clothing, put on the main and auxiliary lights and a spare single bottle of oxygen, bite on the breathing tube, Nanzhou pulled the Jiangfang, and re-slid down the rubber slide in water.

Nanzhou began to explore the hinterland of the ocean for the first time in her life.

In the bright waves, the creatures hidden in the reef during the day began to cruise, showing a completely different biological appearance from the sunset.

Because there is no sunlight to dominate the guest, the water is a bottomless dark blue.

So Nanzhou was fortunate to be in the water and saw a large galaxy.

The jellyfish tail is dragged with glowing filaments, migrating gracefully in groups.

The colorful clownfish poked its head out of the red coral and disappeared without a trace.

Nanzhou is standing in this fantastic water world, her heart is quiet and happy.

The buoyancy of the ocean at night seems to be greater than that during the day, and the degree of freedom has been greatly improved.

The two Malay tourists were very honest and followed the pace of the dive guide.

It's safe, but misses out on a lot of great views.

Nan Zhou drew the outlines of many images in his mind, and swam a little slower.

until Jiang Fang lit the light for him and motioned him to go.

See the turtles.

Nanzhou swam towards him, but happened to see the huge sea turtle stretched out its fleshy stubby limbs, gliding in the water, slowly coming towards him.

It's an amazing feeling.

It is not like swimming, it is like swimming freely in the dense air.

For a time, Nanzhou couldn't tell whether he was in the sea or in the clouds.

Li Yinhang, who really stayed on the sea, was cleaning up the leftover fish bones with an enthusiastic little crew.

She suddenly heard a surprised "ah" from the little crew.

He ran back to the cabin.

Across the dirty glass stained with seawater corrosion marks, Li Yinhang heard the little crew member whispering something to the captain in Thai.

Speaks so fast that I can't understand.

Li Yinhang who did not speak the language had no choice but to look around.

I saw a layer of mist on the water, it didn't look scary, it was quite beautiful.

But she shivered invisibly.

…All right?

This underwater tour is expected to go around the island for a week, mainly to appreciate the coral, and the time is about 40 minutes.

Nanzhou was not left behind.

Under the mutual reflection of the main light and the BC light, the range within three meters can still be illuminated.

He followed this light with his peripheral vision to make sure he didn't get lost, admiring a small blue and yellow fish.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye in Nanzhou.

The light source three meters away, like the TV cut off the signal, disappeared with a bang.

Nanzhou immediately noticed something was wrong and turned around to look.

He was completely empty.

It was just a turn around, Jiang Fang was gone.

The dive guide, instructor and Malay are gone.

He probed out of the water and found that the boat was missing.

All he could see was the thick and substantial sea fog.

Nan Zhou frowned slightly, treading water gently like Jiang Fang.

In the vast expanse of heaven, earth and ocean, all of a sudden, only Nan Zhou was left.

Nanzhou: “…”

He was a little distressed and bit the oxygen tube out a little bit of tooth marks.

The searchlight strapped to his wrist emits a soft white light, but it can only illuminate a range of less than one meter.

Nanzhou became a small group of luminous creatures in this boundless ocean.

Seeing him levitating, a small fish took him as some kind of creature with a lantern, came wagging its tail, and touched his wrist with a fish kiss.

Nan Zhou was not very flustered, he lowered his head and touched the fish's back, successfully frightening it away.

After floating in place for a while, Nan Zhou decided to turn around and swim back according to the route he remembered just now.

However, just as he immersed his face in the sea water, a huge face of a corpse that had been soaked in the concept of a giant suddenly appeared in front of his eyepiece, and was attached to him in front of him. .

—Although the facial features are out of shape, Nanzhou can see clearly that it belongs to himself.

Nan Zhou didn't hesitate, didn't dodge or dodge, stretched out his hand to hold the corpse's neck, and then he twisted 180 degrees neatly.

The author has something to say:

Zhou Zhou: Twist and it's over
