Forces of Temptation

{Jiang Fang}'s question is: "Where are you from?"

The corners of his mouth are curved, but his eyes are staring at Nanzhou.

His patience has been worn out.

As long as Nan Zhou continued to keep a boring silence, or tried to use some stupid lies to challenge the bottom line of his patience, {Jiang Fang} didn't mind the first time he got the box, without checking any content, directly destroy the box.

To be honest, as a person who has been alone for more than 20 years, facing the only outsider who may have equal qualifications for dialogue with him on the personality level, {Jiang Fang} Not happy.

He just wanted to see stunned, shaken, pained and other uncontrollable expressions on this calm and unwavering face.

He's used to being in control.

He hates being off the rails.

Nan Zhou's answer went beyond his stupidity: "I came from the last box."

"...previous box"?

{Jiang Fang} was stunned for a moment, and then understood the beauty of this answer in seconds.

...Nan Zhouyu made him interested in the box, making him think that the "box" would be a door to leave this closed world.

In this way, even if he tortured him, he would not rashly start from the box.

He folded his arms in front of his chest and grinned: "Really? You are not programmed to lie to me, so that I dare not do anything with the box, right?"

Nan Zhou moved his waist, causing the steel shackles on his wrists to rattle.

With this action, a drop of cold sweat dripped from his long eyelashes, making Nanzhou look particularly fragile and fragile at this time: "How stupid you are."

{Jiang Fang} deliberately observed his weak expression and determined that there was nothing wrong with his face.

This proves that he is either telling the truth or he is too good at lying.

{Jiang Fang} grabbed his own arm with one hand, tapped between his elbows with his fingers, and nodded gracefully: "...Well. It's your turn to ask questions."

Nanzhou lowered her eyes.

He was foolish enough to meet [Nanzhou] in the second box world.

In that world, [Nanzhou] actually died a long time ago.

The reason he survived was just because there was a [Jiang Fang] in that world.

This role gave [Nanzhou] hope that "maybe he wants to get rid of the world consciousness, maybe he will be his companion", and created a "I'm not alone" for him. Warm illusion.

But in this third box game, for a person like {Jiang Fang} who is inherently cold and alert to all things, just being a {Nanzhou} does not constitute a reason for him to live. all reasons.

With his understanding of Brother Fang, unless the sensibility is strong to a certain extent, the rational building in his mind is absolutely impossible to be shaken.

Therefore, Nan Zhou speculated according to his own foolish method: "... 'Your parents were killed by monsters, you foolishly want to avenge the monsters in this world'... This is what 'this world' gives you What, the reason for your survival?"

{Jiang Fang} suddenly heard this question, and the calm and playful mask was directly shattered in an instant.

He looked at Nanzhou and blinked.

{Jiang Fang} has long noticed the abnormality of this world. The invasion of Nanzhou, an outsider, and what he said about the "box" made {Jiang Fang} more and more certain that there was a vast world beyond this small town of Neverland.

The world he lives in, his own experience, the real pain when his parents died in the hands of monsters, the only {Nanzhou} who would take the initiative to comfort him…

All of this, maybe just a book, a video story, a bad, inevitable event.

Then, the emotion he put into this world, whether it is hatred, joy, or hope, is a complete joke.

Before, he was just skeptical.

The arrival of Nanzhou confirmed his suspicions.

{Jiang Fang} tortured Nan Zhou. Of course, he had the intention of venting his emotions, but he thought he had hidden the shock and pain in his heart well.

…and Nan Zhou actually dismantled his heart at will.

His self-defense mechanism instantly activated, and sneered: "Did I make you not hurt enough just now?"

Nan Zhou answered honestly: "It hurts."

Nan Zhou: "It's hard for you to live, I know."

{Jiang Fang} unconsciously asked: "What do you know? If you were me, in such a world, alone, how could you survive?"

As soon as the words came out, he felt something was wrong.

Nan Zhou also looked at him, showing **** with the bound wounded hand: "You owe me two problems now."

His mood swings were skillfully manipulated and used by Nan Zhou.

{Jiang Fang} looked at his snow-white wrist that was bruised and red and swollen, and couldn't help showing a slight smile: "Little liar, you really know how to lie to me."

Speaking, he pulled the curtains further open.

The full moon radiates more and more dazzlingly into the window.

The moonlight is like agar that can't move the butterfly, and it covers the Nanzhou perfectly, causing the prisoner's body to tremble, like being burned by fire.

Because he knew that this person was narrow-minded and would be punished, Nan Zhou was not foolish to offend him.

After easing the sharp discomfort, he raised his wet eyes weakly, and said lightly: "I didn't lie. These two are your own stupid questions, There's no need to blame me."

After {Jiang Fang} calmed down, his gaze became even more interesting.

If it is said that his scrutiny of Nanzhou before was just the hunter's appreciation of the prey when he caught it, now he has really developed a little interest in this person.

He said: "You haven't answered, how can you say there are two questions?"

Nanzhou fell into a brief contemplation.

If the people in the second and third box worlds are regarded as beings independent of themselves, they are all so lonely that they will die and need a reason to live.

So, what is the difference between Nanzhou and them?

In the never-ending town of Nanzhou, he did not die so foolishly.

Those around him never gave him hope, and never responded to his kindness.

In a world controlled by invisible forces, the reason for his survival is just to work hard to protect his family.

He knew that his family did not have their own sense of independence, but in most of the plots, they also gave Nanzhou false but enough warmth.

Later, my sister bit him and went out of the main plot line with him.

He continued to be alone.

At that time, he didn't have a "Jiang Fang" to wait for, and he didn't know what the future would look like.

He just lives alone, waiting for nothing, just being himself.

Drawing, class, and occasionally knocking on the transparent walls outside the town, hoping to get a response or two.

Nan Zhou briefly narrated his own thoughts, but in return, {Jiang Fang} sneered in disbelief.

He looked at Nanzhou: "It's easy to say."

Nan Zhouyu, if it weren't for his Mr. Apple Tree, he might die alone in the long wait.

…but I won’t tell you.

He simply said, "I also have my hope."

{Jiang Fang} gave a high five: "How do you know that your hope was not sent to you deliberately?"

This question is extremely annoying.

What he means is that the "hope" Jiang Fang identified by Nanzhou may have been pushed to his eyes by some kind of force, the purpose is just to let him continue to live , which is more convenient for people to play with.

After meeting Mr. Apple Tree, Nanzhou's world was indeed opened by external forces, and he was hunted to death many times in the game.

Later, he was taken out of the world by Jiang Fang, and he was always trapped in the game, unable to be freed, and struggled to this day.

After hearing this question, normal people will inevitably shake their doubts:

Is my experience along the way just a story that someone intentionally made up and made people laugh?

Nan Zhou was unmoved: "This is your fourth question?"

From Nanzhou's reaction, {Jiang Fang} judged that although the beautiful young man in front of him is fragile and susceptible, his mind is extremely strong.

Nanzhou, who had already taken the box twice, recognized at a glance that this iron box was what he was looking for.

He moved slightly, {Jiang Fang} has confirmed that his subordinates have found the right thing.

{Jiang Fang} took the box and played with the lock in the palm of his hand, trying to smash it.

Nan Zhou was out of strength, leaning against the head of the bed, not moving, just quietly watching his performance.

{Jiang Fang} was just teasing him. Seeing that his expression did not change, he turned the box in the palm of his hand and pressed it twice, but he could not try to find out what was inside. What: "Well, here's what you want."

Nan Zhou: "Well, thank you for your help."

{Jiang Fang}: "Where's the key?"

Nan Zhou: "The fifth question. ... You give it to me, and I will unlock it."

{Jiang Fang} seemed to be teasing a pet. He held the box and swayed it in front of him, and threw it back into his subordinate's hand: "Why should I give it to you?"

Nan Zhou sighed when he saw that he was going to play tricks on himself.

However, just as {Jiang Fang} turned around and made a gesture to his opponent, asking him to take the box and go out of the room with him to study slowly, Nan Zhou stopped him from behind: " Hey."

{Jiang Fang} turned around and raised his eyebrows: "Huh?"

Nan Zhou: "Hold the curtains for me, thank you."

{Jiang Fang}, who has always been indifferent to others, pondered for a moment, but went back and forth, and walked to the window: "It's the benefit of you and him looking alike."

When the full moon disappeared before his eyes, Nan Zhou said again: "Thank you."

{Jiang Fang} grabbed the curtain with a slight pause.

…This seems to be his third "thank you"?

When this conflict was born at the apex of the heart, {Jiang Fang} turned around like lightning and threw the one-blade scissors on the nearby table in the direction of Nanzhou!

With a thud, the scissors were inserted obliquely into the bed board Nanzhou was lying on, and the bright red handle was nailed to the board, trembling slightly with the inertia of the collision.

…but Nanzhou is no longer there.

When {Jiang Fang} stopped focusing on himself, Nan Zhou used his **** palm to hold the cold handcuffs.

—The item warehouse cannot store dungeon creatures, but dungeon items are still fine.

The handcuffs disappeared from his palm.

{Jiang Fang} has a superb reflex, realizing that he was out of trouble, and immediately retreated to protect the box.

In his ignorance, once Nan Zhou escapes, he will definitely find the box as the first priority.

But he missed one point.

Don't turn your back to the monster.

Even a debilitated monster.

He suddenly felt heavy on his shoulders.

Nanzhou took him as a target, jumped vertically, and wrapped one leg around his neck.

His flexible and slender legs trembled slightly because of the difficulty in sustaining strength, but after repeating the muscle memory thousands of times, he still successfully hooked {Jiang Fang}'s neck.

But he was still too weak after all.

{Jiang Fang} shook out a slender steel thorn from the depths of his sleeve, inserted his backhand into his calf neatly, and followed the strength of his shoulders, directing him directly Flip it out of yourself!

However, just as he exerted his strength, {Jiang Fang} realized that something was wrong.

…too late.

Nanzhou deliberately let him catch the flaw!

Using his momentum, Nan Zhou borrowed strength from him, and went straight to the subordinate who was standing in the corner of the room like a clay sculpture and holding a box, and turned his wrist. , snatched the box from his hand, and immediately he landed on the ground and rolled, and his injured foot fell on the ground, causing him to stumble in pain, and he stumbled and knocked out the half-closed door!

Nanzhou has experienced too many desperate situations, and he knows what kind of consciousness Yu must make when he wants to survive from death.

He went straight to the window at the end of the hallway, fit and slammed into it without delay!

He completely relied on gravity and his strong muscles and bones to bear, and threw himself straight to the concrete floor of the street.

His movements did not stagnate in the slightest. As soon as he turned around, he raised his hand, caught a dagger that was rushing towards the back of his head, and responded with a backhand with the greatest strength!

Unfortunately, his fingers and wrists were weak, and his eyes were blurred. The sharp blade of the dagger he threw hit the outer wall of the house half a meter away from the window and bounced off with a bang.

{Jiang Fang} watched him holding the box, dragging his injured leg and disappearing into the moonlight.

He had no intention of chasing, but leaned against the window and looked at his back.

He knew that his life might be different from tonight.

Fortunately, he doesn't really care.

He just looked at where Nanzhou disappeared and guessed where he was going.

He muttered to himself with a smile: "Running so fast....I still owe you six questions."

…

Nan Zhou stretched out his hand to pull the lock of the iron box while running.

It's just that he really lacks strength right now. At this time, it is even more difficult for him to pull off the ordinary lock manually.

He had to endure the pain, dragged the dripping blood on the ground, and rushed forward blindly, until he broke into an alley according to the past memory, Nanzhou barely stopped the pace, crooked Leaning against the wall, shaking his hands, he took out a wire from the warehouse, twisted it into a twist, and prepared to unlock it.

Nan Zhou's eyes were blurred, and after several attempts, he failed to align the wire with the keyhole.

After this long run, his energy is like a string full of power, and suddenly relaxes, there is a danger of breaking.

Nan Zhou raised his hand and slapped himself in the face, trying to regain his mind that was about to collapse.

He must not pass out!

Fortunately, Nanzhou also comes with a B-level passive skill, [Nightingale's Proverbs], although the treatment level is at the school doctor level at most, it cannot be healed from the previous box. Bone wounds, but flesh wounds can still be healed.

He squatted down, pulled out the steel thorn, covered the bleeding wound, and provided himself with at least some healing energy.

For the current Nanzhou, if Yu wants to successfully unlock the lock, he must at least be clear-headed.

Nanzhou was originally a charm. When encountering danger, she instinctively rushed all the way according to her memory, and broke into an alley far away from the core area of ​​the town.

Originally, this was a safe area for the light and charm to live in.

But now, the light and charm hidden here is no longer under his command.

To them, "Nanzhou" is an unusual intruder.

If you raise the angle of view, you can see that on the roof around the alley where Nanzhou hides, there are dozens of human-shaped cold lights coming from all directions, blocking every part of Nanzhou. A way back.

…In order to preemptively defend their own safe zone.

…and to kill the intruder.
