Forces of Temptation

The moon is gradually sinking, and the brightest sight is gone.

messages are brought back one after another.

No exciting news though.

There is nothing extra in the town except the extra iron box.

The clues about the "ticket" are still the moon in the water, the flowers in the mirror, and even the specific appearance is hazy and uncertain.

The second search round of the three worlds is complete.

At this point, Nanzhou can basically be sure that he has not figured out the real gameplay of the game.

And the early search for evidence wasted too much time for him.

There are only a few hours left before the departure of the train from nowhere.

Thinking of this, Nan Zhou jumped off the balcony railing and tapped the window glass of the balcony.

He gave Nanzhou a fluttering glance, meaning what do you want to do to me.

Nanzhou doesn't know that {Jiang Fang} has unilaterally decided that he is a stinky rogue who will do anything to pass the border, and politely knocked on the window glass again: "Please help me think too. Think about how to get through."

{Jiang Fang} used the palm of his hand to fan the air to cool his cheeks, and squinted him calmly with his natural smiling eyes: "I'm sorry, I'm not as knowledgeable as Mr. Nan, I can't think of this ... the idea comes."

Thinking that Nan Zhou would be cheeky to court him, {Jiang Fang} exerted force with one hand and wrinkled the bed.

Nan Zhou noticed that the expression on his face was changing, he gritted his teeth for a while, and then avoided his eyes for a while, and suddenly realized.

…He thought {Jiang Fang} had already figured out the joints.

He explained: "Mr. Jiang, hello, it's like this, I don't want to have **** with you."

{Jiang Fang}: “…”

Nan Zhou: "I don't care about this, but there is only one person who makes me have the urge to reproduce. I just put forward an idea of ​​customs clearance, please don't take it to heart."

{Jiang Fang}: “…”

Nan Zhou thought that his confession was quite sincere, enough to resolve the misunderstanding between the two.

{Jiang Fang} was strangely silent for a long time, biting the flesh on the side of his lips with a calm expression.

After a while, he gave a stiff "ha" and changed the subject reluctantly: "...You ask me how to get through?"

Nanzhou: "Yeah."

He needs to talk to smart people to develop his own ideas.

{Jiang Fang}: "Aren't you afraid that I will deliberately induce you to think in the wrong direction?"

Nanzhou is not afraid: "I will think for myself."

{Jiang Fang} asked again: "Why should I help you? Who knows what will happen to me after you leave?"

Speaking of this, he pressed Nan Zhou's forehead with his backhand, and said with a half-smile, "If my world collapses and I have no home to return, how will you compensate me?"

After saying that, he gently patted Nan Zhou's forehead back.

This is indeed a problem.

Nan Zhou kept his body leaning back, seriously thinking about {Jiang Fang}'s concerns.

Seeing that he couldn't answer for a while, {Jiang Fang} raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Save it, Mr. Nan, I won't help you, even if I think of something, I won't talk to you. you said."

Nan Zhou asked, "You hate me?"

{Jiang Fang}: "Ha, do you think you're likable?"

Nan Zhou looked into his eyes: "If the game fails, I may stay here forever—"

In order to make himself look a little more annoying, he applied the yin and yang tone particles in the system when announcing tasks: "—Oh."

{Jiang Fang}: “…”

…Cunning little monsters!

First he forced himself to say he hated him, and then threatened himself to stay.

Does he have to admit that he doesn't hate him?

{Jiang Fang} gritted his teeth and was sulking with himself for a long time, and then asked in a vicious voice: "The achievements you just mentioned...how many did you collect?"

Nanzhou: "Five."

{Jiang Fang}: "How much is the upper limit?"

Nanzhou: "I don't know."

In the question-and-answer period, {Jiang Fang} quickly adjusted his mental state, put his finger on his lower lip, and nodded implicitly: "Your ultimate goal is to get a 'ticket'. It seems that it is impossible to find an existing physical 'ticket'."

Nan Zhou took his words: "If you want to get a 'ticket', it may be to try to improve the overall evaluation and playability of the game, or it may be... Get all the achievements, you will be rewarded with one" ticket'."

{Jiang Fang} raised his chin, disapproving of Nan Zhou's speculation: "Humph, you just said that the upper limit of all achievements is 'I don't know'. Since I don't know how many achievements I can make Aren't you afraid that this is another trick to waste your time?"

Nan Zhou explained: "This is just a way of customs clearance that can be considered."

{Jiang Fang} snorted again, noncommittal.

{Jiang Fang} knows that Nanzhou's analysis of "full achievement" is reasonable.

His thorns were just intentional, he just wanted to hit him with a few words.

As long as he is willing to be soft on himself and not talk to him in such a rigid manner, {Jiang Fang} will not be so angry.

After enumerating the current two possible ways to pass the level, both sides fell into silence.

Nanzhou is thinking about other ways to play.

{Jiang Fang} is trying to toss Nanzhou.

Soon, he came up with an idea, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously filled with a smile: "Hey, I also thought of a third way of playing here, do you want to hear it?"

Nan Zhou: "Well, I want to hear it. What is it?"

{Jiang Fang} picked up the box and put it aside, smashed the lock without warning, dodged to a corner of the room, and gave him a sly wink: "... Just be patient."

The moment Nan Zhou understood what he wanted to do, {Jiang Fang} had already opened the lid.

"Wait—"

The third world will disintegrate at an extremely fast speed before he can stop it.

The surrounding light sources were shattered like glass, and Nanzhou fell into a drowsy darkness.

The reorganization of the world is only in the blink of an eye.

For Nan Zhou, he just blinked his eyes and saw that his body, which was broken with the world, was gradually put together.

He reappeared on the roof.

—When the world is reorganized, the refresh point of the iron box is uncertain, and the birth point of the personnel is fixed.

This time, Nanzhou quickly stood on its feet, slipped down along the curvature of the roof, landed on one foot, and landed on the balcony. Trembling, his face and lips should be snow-white and snow-white, looking extremely tired.

Nanzhou pushed open the balcony door, walked into the house, and set the time: "One and a half hours."

{Jiang Fang} understood his words as disgusting him for being slow, he glanced at him, panting slightly, "...I'm already...very soon."

Fortunately, the towns in the three boxes are limited in scope, and the layout of the houses is only slightly different. "Ticket", relatively speaking, the action is already very fast.

Overall, he took the longest in the first box world.

Because there is no helper.

"After you saw me in the second box, you quickly understood and cooperated quite well." {Jiang Fang} pouted, "Much stronger than you."

Nan Zhou sighed: "It's too sudden."

{Jiang Fang} is weak, but still maintains a proud demeanor: "I just like to see you unhappy. If you are unhappy, I will be happy."

Hearing this, Nan Zhou lowered the corner of his mouth.

{Jiang Fang} couldn't help laughing: "What are you doing?"

Nan Zhou: "It makes you happy. It also makes you stop taking risks."

{Jiang Fang} sat down on the bed and sighed: "If you don't want me to use your tasks to do experiments casually, just say it, I don't want to help you that much."

"No." Nan Zhou told the truth, "I'm afraid the iron box will hurt you. I hope that after I finish the task and leave, you all will be fine."

{Jiang Fang} was stunned, leaned on the head of the bed boringly, and closed his eyes.

, you can return to the origin.

Extra income, only one achievement of unknown purpose.

With the return of {Jiang Fang} to this world, the new iron box is also refreshed in this world.

Coincidentally, this time the iron box happened to appear on the table in {Jiang Fang}'s room, saving them the time to search.

Nanzhou picked up the iron box, and was not in a hurry to open it again, but placed it in the palm of her hand and studied it in detail.

Although the patterns above are complicated, most of them are composed of rhombus and patterns, and there is no other meaning.

Observing, observing, Nan Zhou's thoughts suddenly moved.

He hadn't spoken yet, and {Jiang Fang} suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Hey, you say, these three nested worlds don't look like a small train. ?"

This is exactly what Nanzhou said.

Each tin box is rectangular, the size is the same, the pattern is the same, and even the content of the town is very similar, and it is indeed similar to the train car.

"I have seen the schematic diagram of the train in the book." {Jiang Fang} explained, "The train is connected by a car, and there will be a certain buffer zone in the middle. We pass through One box leads to the next box."

Nan Zhou answered: "Moreover, the train is one-way, there is no turning back, we have no way to jump directly from the No. 1 car to the No. 3 car. This is very similar."

"Assuming we're already on a train that we don't even notice... wait, no."

{Jiang Fang}'s pale lips pursed tightly, and he was immersed in this unprecedented puzzle, ignoring what he said earlier "I won't help you".

He said: "If every train is the same, you will be very strange."

"We all have our own car, only you are an outsider. That is, there is no one in your car until you come. Only you come, this car It's just really starting to run. Is that 'ticket' already on you?"

Nan Zhou said, "I don't have it in my warehouse."

He checked.

{Jiang Fang} spread out his hands: "Then I don't know. The only thing that comes out of these three worlds is you."

Nan Zhou's face changed suddenly.

…he had heard that before.

In the alley, {Jiang Fang} stretched out his hand leisurely, facing himself in a mess.

Ask him himself if he found anything like a ticket in town.

At that time, {Jiang Fang} joked in the same tone: "'Something extra'? Then it's only you."

To Nan Zhou, who was seriously injured and lost blood, this answer was like a gnat, drowned in the sound of tinnitus, and was inaudible.

At that time, he only noticed a slight violation.

But at this moment, Nan Zhou recalled that this answer was like a thunderous blow!

I don't know where the impulse came from, Nan Zhou touched the back of his neck with his backhand.

It was empty and there was no sign of being bitten by Jiang Fang.

—When {Jiang Fang} controlled his breathing and leaned back against the bed rail, that fleeting anomaly stemmed from this.

Nan Zhou was in a state of turmoil, and his steady breathing became a little bit disordered.

Just when the page was open, an [achievement] popped up in the lower right corner, stayed for three seconds, and then disappeared.

Congratulations on the achievement: [Finally False].

[Fictitious] Little ant, memory is the most meaningless thing, isn't it?

In an instant, countless thoughts poured into Nan Zhou's heart, rushing his originally orderly thoughts into chaos and collapse.

…what is real?

…who are you…?
