Forces of Temptation

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

The fiery steam tears apart the icy mist, filling the old white with new white, like a superimposed shadow in a movie, showing a fantastic visual effect,

There are only 30 minutes left before departure.

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

The previous mess has been cut open.

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

Get in, or not.

Li Yinhang was so nervous that his trachea was twitching.

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

There is not much 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, Nanzhou 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 understandable.

After all, if Li Yinhang is the leader, I am afraid that he will perform on the spot with a mental explosion.

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

Thirdly, Nan Zhou and Jiang Fang are the only pair in the team who can 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 change yourself, there will be no such effect.

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

Being 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 Nanzhou and Jiang Fang to form a containment relationship, then Jiang Fang is also capable of breaking the game, why not put him first?

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

Li Yinhang can imagine that if Jiang Fang was the first to come back and witnessed the abnormality in the carriage, he would definitely kill Yuan Mingqing who questioned him on the spot, and then held it up with a smile. The **** knife asked the remaining two if they wanted to wait for Nan Zhou.

They can choose, they won't force it.

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

There is only one left, Chen Sufeng, who is also difficult to speak alone.

But Nanzhou and Jiangfang are completely different.

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

His blade never points towards his teammates.

In that charming town.

In Gravity as well.

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

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

"

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

This station is completely closed, and the situation is worse than the never-never town of Nanzhou.

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

If you bet wrong, you will stay here forever...

The mere imagining of this possibility is tingling.

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

It is like a horn of high-dimensional people.

It was like a 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. 'Self-sacrifice' Perhaps the theme of 'sacrifice' is also carried over. Only if we all stay at the station together can we talk about 'sacrifice'."

The Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties are advancing step by step: "This is just your guess. Besides, in the individual battle, we only have ourselves, and of course we can only sacrifice ourselves; now it is a team battle, and the five of us are one Overall, sacrificing Jiang Fang is not considered 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. - 'I hope we will be wiped out' is also the purpose of high-dimensional people. You said it yourself ."

Nanzhou: "I mean, high-dimensional people should not have the option of 'someone must die' when designing dungeons, so that the difficulty itself will be unbalanced."

Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties: "According to your speculation, the high-dimensional people created a time gap, and after clarifying the specific customs clearance time for all of us, they put us into the station, and the ending of Jiangfang In fact, it has been decided long ago, and there is no problem of difficulty imbalance at all."

He stared at Nanzhou: "How do you know whether Jiang Fang is still in the dungeon or is dead? His existence is a 'bait' for you, so that you can't Let go, don't you?"

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

She had to admit that although the words of Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties were harsh and sharp, they were all justified.

Nanzhou 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: "Whether he is alive or not is the same type of question as whether to get in the car. You are responsible for proving him Dead, and I'm responsible for justifying staying."

Yuan Ming and Qing Dynasties: “…”

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

Li Yinhang and Chen Sufeng were both 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 rescued, and must not accompany Nan Zhou to play this one-two gamble.

It is of course possible for flight attendants to lie.

Of course there may be a murderous intention hidden in the car.

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 a real heaven and a hell.

Faced with 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 Nanzhou 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 if you stay in the station, why are you still here?"

Li Yinhang was shocked.

She 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 life and death and the 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 If you can solve this problem for me, I will trust you."

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

Yuan, Ming and Qing pursed his dry lips, not expecting Nan Zhou to come up with any hard evidence that could shake his decision.

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

But he still held a glimmer of hope that he could not tell where it came from, and said: "...Tell me about it."

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

The whistle sounded again, which made people's eardrums hurt and made people's hearts shake.

The studio of Gaoweiren 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 is impossible for Nan Zhou to tell whether it is the second or third reincarnation!

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

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

As long as everyone dies, everything will automatically refresh to a brand new scene!

How could he possibly guess? !

…

When the director was crazy brainstorming and trying to figure out what went wrong, Nan Zhou in the station started his analysis: "I have analyzed, the first reincarnation, we are inevitable Failure."

Li Yinhang nodded blankly.

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

What Nanzhou saw was a normal train.

So at that time, they did not know the horror of the carriage, and they faced only one problem:

Jiang Fang did not return before Nanzhou's ticket expired.

So, in order to wait for Jiang Fang, who didn't know if she would come back, Nan Zhou gave up the ticket and chose to stay at the station.

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

What happened on the road is unknown.

Staying on Nanzhou at the station, something must have happened.

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

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

Nanzhou at that time would definitely act, like now, exhaustively trying to convince others to believe what he saw.

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

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

The three who dare not risk staying at the station will choose to board the train according to the instructions of the contract.

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

How can Nanzhou judge whether it is the second or 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 one."

Yuan Mingqing laughed dryly: "Too confident?"

, one 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, 'High-dimensional 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 **** scenes at the station, wouldn't it be easier to shake my judgment? It made me more convinced that the station is also very dangerous, and getting on the train might be the right choice."

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

"I took 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: "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 a wish."

Yes.

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

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

Or, he only allows his wishes related to himself, and leaves 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 go 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 will be too late for me to make some reminders to me in the second reincarnation."

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

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

He realized that he was being persuaded by Nanzhou.

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 find the logical loopholes in Nanzhou to fill the restlessness and shaking 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 it in the second round. . . I believe I can think of it myself.”

Whether he sprayed "don't get on the bus" on the wall of the station, or tattooed himself, or secretly lettered in some hidden corner, there is no conclusive evidence.

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

To break the game, only—

"I just don't let them refresh." Nan Zhou said, "I refresh myself."

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

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

Because it is different from the general backtracking props.

It does not 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, said "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, 15 minutes until departure.

Nanzhou chose to use this prop after the train left and waited alone in the station for only 1 hour, going against the flow of time, going back to the source, and restarting the whole world.

The waiting time of 1 hour means that Nanzhou is not desperate because of the long-term waiting, and it is unlikely that Nanzhou has encountered an attack far beyond the strength of Nanzhou. As Zhou said before, if there are traces of fighting on the station, the high-dimensional people will definitely re-engrave it, 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 there is a new life in the station!

Director Gao Wei suddenly crushed the conductive headphones.

When space and time are reset, who will judge whether it is the power of props or the power of copies?

Nanzhou... 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."

For the first time, he had no clues or clues.

After learning that she has two chances, Nanzhou will not waste 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, Nanzhou used an A-level item with a rather tasteless function to deceive everyone and started a "fake reincarnation".

He also used this A-grade item to give the other three reasons to stay in the station.

While this evidence is not enough to prove that it is completely safe to stay at the station, it is enough to convince them to take a gamble.

This round of high-intensity brainstorming ended, and 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 data-intensive water flow, like the drumbeat of a heartbeat.

The director fastened the scattered conductors, 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 the silence, Li Yinhang quietly raised his hand.

But she didn't mean it: "I have a question."

Nanzhou: "Yeah."

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

She didn't feel ashamed to say anything next.

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

He and Nanzhou 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, when you found your way out, Brother Fang didn't come back, did he?"

The reason why she finds it strange is that when Nan Zhou recounts this experience, the subject repeatedly used is "I" instead of "we" referring to 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 strange. 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 game's balance will be disrupted, and high-dimensional audiences will be dissatisfied with this behavior."

"So I think, he might..."

At this moment, a light footsteps approached them.

Click.

Click.

Mr. "Certificate" stepped on wedge shoes, covered with fog, and stood three meters away from the four people, clasping his hands in front of him: "Every passenger, the distance from the departure It's only five minutes. Excuse me, are you on board?"

Nan Zhou did not answer.

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

He asked, "Would you drive away if no one left?"

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

Nan Zhou let out a "hmm", 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 rigid limbs were obviously loose, like a puppet with all the puppet threads cut off.

The numb muscles on his face, as if they did not belong to him, also dissolved and transformed like water.

A head of silver hair dangled down the dark brim.

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

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

"Wet." Jiang Fang waved at him, "Come on, hug."

Nan Zhou did not say a word, and threw himself firmly on Jiang Fang.

The mist and dew on his body and the cold sweat that exhausted his mind, shook 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.
