Forces of Temptation

The viciousness and diligence of high-dimensional people are almost written on their faces.

Although Nan Zhou did not really enter the game, his various physical values, his memory, including his game system, were copied and engraved on "Nan Zhou".

He has followed the way of thinking and fighting of Nanzhou.

This is equivalent to Nanzhou lending game experience and equipment, and the two participated in the game together.

He and "Nanzhou" are a wonderful symbiosis of destiny.

As the game progresses so far, when "Nanzhou" realizes that he is not the real Nanzhou, he is only one step away from success.

At the same time, the road in front of him also produced huge differences.

If the previous "Nanzhou" was a fake game character, at this moment, he completely broke free, and then found that he was like an ant lured by honey, already in the thicket Among the cobwebs.

This feeling is not wonderful, so "Nanzhou" resisted with silence for a long time.

{Jiang Fang} didn't like his silence.

Because it means "Nanzhou" is in pain and there is nothing he can do.

He pushed his shoulder: "Hey, talk."

"Nanzhou" put his hands on his knees and whispered, "This is a big matter, let me think about it. ... Think about it."

He was in a state of confusion.

This sense of confusion is unprecedented for "Nanzhou".

"Nanzhou" also wants to stay sane and endure not to go crazy.

But he thought about it, this "rationality" is obviously the self-restraint of Nanzhou when encountering major events.

Such calmness and reason should never belong to "Nanzhou".

But what should the real "Nanzhou" look like?

"Nanzhou" was trapped in the whirlpool of thinking, and the invisible pressure was getting tighter and tighter, and the more she was forced, the more she died.

During the torment, he saw {Jiang Fang} put a hand over from the side, and gestured to hold him, so as to give him some comfort, but when he lifted it a few times, it was still He took it back and slapped him twice on the back of the head.

After the filming, {Jiang Fang} also felt numb, so he turned his back, as if he wanted to draw a clear line with "Nanzhou".

For a time, "Nanzhou" envied {Jiang Fang} in her heart.

Although the background of the story is the same, they at least have their own growth experience, their own beliefs, their own ideas.

Until now, "Nanzhou" is still thinking uncontrollably. If Nanzhou is here, how should he view this matter?

He took everything from Nanzhou, can he really get rid of Nanzhou?

After a long time, "Nanzhou" sighed softly.

He said: "If I choose to do a 'ticket', will you and the [Nanzhou] of the second world also cease to exist?"

"It looks like this. You are the 'ticket', the foundation of the existence of this game world, and the protagonist of the first box world. With you, there is a story for the two of us If Nanzhou is the sun, you are the earth, and that person and I are the moon. You revolve around Nanzhou, and the two of us revolve around you."

At this point, {Jiang Fang} looked at him coldly: "...so I advise you to choose carefully. If you choose not to my liking, I will kill you."

"Nanzhou" reminded him: "Kill me with your own hands, you don't exist anymore."

“…different.”

{Jiang Fang} picked up his cheek with one hand, kneaded it with force, and found that it was quite soft.

He was inexplicably happy, but put on a ferocious look: "That's what I'm happy to die."

12 hours of game time, when the time is up, the game will end. We will return to the initial state where we didn't know each other. With Nan Zhou's memory, I continue to think that I am Nan Zhou. [Nanzhou] If you were killed while robbing the box, you might be killed by you as a monster. Start all over again... Wouldn't that be a meaningless and sad repetition?"

{Jiang Fang} is not afraid of "Nanzhou" thinking about the disadvantages of staying in this virtual world, but he is not afraid to think about it.

Since he is tempted, {Jiang Fang} naturally refuses to let him dismiss his thoughts.

He said: "Even if it is repeated, you are still alive and have time to be yourself; if you die, you will always be an unfree substitute."

He added: "Besides, being trapped in these 12 hours of reincarnation is just a possibility I guessed."

Speaking, {Jiang Fang} made a gesture: "What you may gain is permanent freedom."

"If you live, the Nanzhou outside may die. The foundation that affects you has been eliminated from the root, and you are no longer attached to anyone. ... This is spiritual freedom. "

"Each player has one copy of the game, so in each different parallel timeline, there may be thousands of us, and our existence may not necessarily be in the same timeline Repeated refresh and read and write on the Internet exist independently. After the game is over, the game will be sealed in the warehouse by a certain player, and will never be opened and played again. So you may not repeat these 12 hours, You'll have an infinite number of 12 hours at your disposal—it's total, physical freedom."

"Nanzhou" stared at {Jiang Fang} attentively, and listened to his demagogic words, describing the bright future for himself.

Whether it's this {Jiang Fang} or that Fang, the ability to seduce people is first-class.

{Jiang Fang} turned red when he saw it: "What did I say wrong, you said it, don't look at me."

"Nanzhou" then obediently turned her head to look out the window, and said calmly: "I tested it, and the box can only send one person away at a time. If I choose to stay in the box in the future, I will I will come to see you occasionally, and I have to look at the second [Nanzhou] occasionally. Switch once in the box, and the time will be reset. In this way, this day…”

He pointed to the dark sky outside: "...and this moment, which is actually infinitely repeated."

{Jiang Fang} frowned.

He knew what he meant.

"Nanzhou" from the first world, through the second world, to the third world, in this process, there is a fixed save point.

After trying it out, the time and place of the save point are fixed.

"Unless we give up using the box and never meet. Otherwise, every time I walk through the box to see you, everything you've done in town will be zeroed out to this moment, Even if something happened, nothing actually happened." Nan Zhou said, "...So, can it be called freedom?"

{Jiang Fang} shrugged and didn't care: "For me, every day here has no special meaning, I just pretend to live and protect someone who once protected me That's it for the kid next door."

There are still half of the words, {Jiang Fang} hid and did not say.

…Actually, he had no intention of letting "Nanzhou" go.

As for the [Nanzhou] in the second world that is now in a state of broken chaos, he doesn't care.

I won't die anyway.

He said casually: "What's the point of time reset? We can keep our memories, even if we reset it, it will be immortal."

"Nanzhou" was silent for a while.

When {Jiang Fang} became impatient, "Nanzhou" asked back: "Why do you want me to stay?"

This question greatly exceeded {Jiang Fang}'s expectations.

His eloquent tongue froze for a moment and remained silent.

He couldn't figure out why he was used to being alone for so many years, and suddenly it became unbearable.

Such a feeling of a child's urgency to hold on to something is so strange that he is at a loss.

So he opened his mouth and retorted: "Who wants you to stay?"

"Nanzhou" hummed, put his hand on the side of the bed, and stood up: "Then I want to talk to [Nanzhou] in the second world."

{Jiang Fang}: “…”

Cunning little liar, cheating again!

The words were out of the way, like water covered with water, and he couldn't say anything to hold back.

Watching "Nanzhou" use the unlocking skills accumulated by Nanzhou to toss the iron box, {Jiang Fang} pursed his lips: "You remember, I'm waiting here. you."

He paused, turned halfway, did not look directly at "Nanzhou", and whispered: "...No matter what decision you have, you have to go through that box, come tell me."

"Nanzhou" guessed his thoughts: "You are afraid that I will die without saying hello."

{Jiang Fang} grinned, revealing a set of beautiful and neat teeth: "Yes. If you dare to commit suicide silently, I will..."

"Nanzhou" waited quietly for his next words.

"Just" for a long time, {Jiang Fang} couldn't come up with a suitable way to curse, so he had no choice but to say: "...bite you to death."

"Nanzhou" is not afraid of such a threat: "Monsters kill people."

While speaking, the iron box opened.

“…Hello.”

Seeing that he was about to open the box, {Jiang Fang} stopped him: "...don't sacrifice yourself for others, no one deserves you...die for him."

"Nanzhou" said in his heart: It seems that there is no one worthy of my life for him.

But he still nodded to {Jiang Fang}, and his body turned into a stray white light.

This time, after waking up in his bedroom, he did not rush to find the iron box, but opened the window and used his fingertips to tease the chirping little fat bird, and immediately , he went downstairs and hugged his "parents" after a long absence.

As always, they are unresponsive.

After the one-way hug, "Nanzhou" went out, got on his bicycle, and roamed the empty daytime town.

The surrounding is a street scene that is familiar to his mind, and even the bulge of a brick on the street wall matches his memory.

This is his memory and not his.

He went to school and took his sketchbook.

After doing all this, "Nanzhou" found the iron box in the library where Nanzhou often went, opened it neatly, and set off for the next world in the box.

The two looked at each other's and their own faces with the same teardrops, and they were silent for a while.

"Nanzhou" is using Nanzhou's skills to draw a portrait for [Nanzhou].

And [Nanzhou] already knew the uniqueness of this copy from the mouth of "Nanzhou".

He didn't talk about his own thoughts, just asked him: "What do you think about yourself?"

"Nanzhou" bowed his head to outline the lines, and said his thoughts: "I have not had such a copy in my memory: I don't have to do anything, I can win."

[Nanzhou] hit the nail on the head: "If the game loses, you will win; if the game wins, you will lose."

Although this logic is a bit peculiar, it just applies to the current scene.

"Nanzhou" still wants to hear his opinion: "What do you think?"

“…So, what you think is the most important.”

"Nanzhou" was silent for a long time, and asked the question that {Jiang Fang} had never been able to ask: "As long as I die, Jiang Fang will be happy, right? "
