Forces of Temptation - v2 Chapter 282
The atmosphere instantly froze.
In the blink of an eye, if you don’t seize the opportunity, the war will surely revive.
At this time, Nan Zhou can say that there is only one sentence left.
This is also the dead end that Gaowei planned for Nanzhou.
The only one who killed Nan Zhou was Nan Zhou.
When the basement was so quiet that only the sound of two people breathing at the same frequency was left, a series of light footsteps suddenly came from above, shaking a line of fine dust.
When Nan Zhou looked up, he happened to see [Nan Zhou] also looking up.
After the fighting ceased, the flickering frequency of the light bulb light source on the top gradually decreased.
Therefore, when the swaying light fell on the face of [Nanzhou], the faint worry just disappeared.
My thoughts are like lightning.
Nan Zhou asked: “We are like this, why doesn’t he come out?”
Who “he” refers to is well known.
Nanzhou’s fingertips exerted force, pressing against the iron box, and while secretly wrestling with him, he looked at [Nanzhou] immersed in the darkness, and continued to ask: “This is his Yard, he’s right above us. Why can’t he hear us fighting in the basement?”
“You’re afraid of being exposed by him, but why do you dare to grab the box directly in the yard? Why don’t you go farther?”
The answer to these questions, [Nanzhou] clearly knows, but can’t say a word.
Nan Zhou looked at this face with a similar appearance to himself, but with a different emotion, and felt a little pity in his heart.
He was a little less secretive in his hand, no longer devoted himself to competing with him for the iron box, but sat down cross-legged and told him one thing: “…when I went in to get the box, Became like you. But he didn’t notice it at all.”
He lowered his eyelashes and replied, “He won’t find out.”
He added: “…he has worked hard. Can’t blame him.”
Nan Zhou saw [Nan Zhou] with a different expression, and guessed a little deeper.
“…you told him who you are, didn’t you?”
When I first saw [Nan Zhou], Nan Zhou thought he was deliberately disguising his identity and didn’t want [Jiang Fang] to know that he was a monster, so he pretended to be ignorant.
Seeing that he was acting inconsistently, Nan Zhou overthrew all his previous assumptions on his own.
Nan Zhou released the box and put his hand on the back of [Nan Zhou]’s slightly cool hand: “…But, even if you tell him, he won’t remember it, will he?”
【Nanzhou】shoulders suddenly shrank.
He never thought that the person who could see through his secrets for more than 20 years was a person who claimed to destroy his world.
He cleared his hoarse throat and admitted: “Well, yes.”
In the second box world, it was not Jiang Fang who fell in love with the story character Nan Zhou, but the conscious story character [Nan Zhou] who fell in love with the unconscious story character [Jiang Fang] ].
[Nanzhou] also tried to self-destruct in front of [Jiang Fang].
But as long as the scene is switched, and the door is pushed and closed, [Jiang Fang] will forget everything.
Including his inhuman identity.
In this case, [Nanzhou] simply played a role-playing game with him.
He guessed that [Jiang Fang] was the “lover” role assigned to him by the power in the shadows, and all his actions towards himself were probably just due to the warmth set by the system.
However, even so, [Nanzhou] still reluctant to give up this false warmth.
They have always been friendly neighbors, and [Nanzhou] is sensible not to hope for more.
The only hope in his long life is that Jiang Fang’s accidental awakening of consciousness can tell him about taking him out of the town.
He wanted nothing but hope.
[Nanzhou] said: “I didn’t really like him very much before. He is like other people in the town, there is no difference. During the day, everyone is fine; at night, normal people will Turned into a monster, but the next day, everyone continued to live in harmony as if nothing had happened.”
Nan Zhou thought, this is similar to his experience, but not similar.
In the original Never Town, even in the daytime, he could find that the people in the town were behaving mechanically abnormally, so he naturally became wary and would not interact with them too much.
Take the example of a girl with a first-rate painting talent.
In the world of Nanzhou, she was sluggish during the day, gave no feedback to all Nanzhou’s words, and did her own thing, so even if she became a monster, Nanzhou Not so surprising.
In the world of [Nanzhou], she can greet [Nanzhou] lively and cheerfully during the day, and bite the living mercilessly at night.
—The sense of separation between [Nanzhou] and the world should be stronger than his.
[Nanzhou] looked at the box: “…I tried a lot, but I couldn’t escape from here. So, I always wanted to die.”
Nan Zhou put his fingertips on his.
[Nanzhou] did not withdraw his hand and continued to tell his story.
“On my fourteenth birthday, he gave me his handmade cake.”
“Actually, that day was no different from before, but he suddenly said that he felt this town was strange and wanted to take me away.”
“I’m very happy. I think maybe two people together, there will be more chances to escape.”
“That afternoon, he and I kept planning until the evening, and he said he read a book and wanted to take me to many places, and he described to me how good those places were. I was very tempted, After leaving the room, I want to come in with a pen and paper, and I want to write down what he said.”
Listening to him, Nan Zhou already guessed what happened next.
[Nanzhou] said: “I took the pen and paper back. He sat in the room drinking water, saying that it was getting late and he was going home.”
“I asked him, ‘Then will you come to see me tomorrow, and we can talk about how to get out’.”
“He replied, ‘Why are we going out’?”
Nan Zhou’s heart throbbed.
On the one hand, he quite understands the collapse of [Nanzhou]’s hope at that moment.
On the other hand, in the story of [Nanzhou], he noticed something that made people chill.
At the age of fourteen, [Nanzhou] in the box world should have committed suicide because of the unresolved loneliness.
It just so happened that on his birthday, [Jiang Fang], who had never shown any special features before, appeared, bringing him a glimmer of hope and tenderness.
[Nanzhou] thought he had awakened too.
It can be said that the reason why [Nanzhou] has survived to this day is to rely on this hanging thread-like hope to give him the illusion that he is not alone.
…the question is, is there such a coincidence?
【Nanzhou】is the core character of the existence of the world, 【Nanzhou】death, the box world will be destroyed.
Just when [Nan Zhou] wanted to die, the awakened [Jiang Fang] suddenly appeared, giving him hope?
Nanzhou does not believe that there will be such a coincidence in the world.
It is like the power in the shadows, firmly steering the fate of the [Nanzhou] in this box, and duly smeared with honey in front of him who is about to lose hope, making him like An ant snaked and crawled on a Mobius tape, worked tirelessly for that little sweetness, and lived until the 30 minutes of his arrival.
The honey [Jiang Fang] that he met at the age of fourteen, the charming warmth of these eight or nine years, was just to give him a reason to live and live until he could stop himself.
What Nanzhou can think of, [Nanzhou] can also think.
When Nanzhou reported himself, he figured out many things.
[Jiang Fang] is just a bait to deceive him.
…why?
Why are you struggling, trying to survive, and feeling lonely, just to stop someone?
Why should he let the person in front of him easily take the box and destroy his world?
【Jiang Fang】Although it is very likely that he is a puppet controlled by the world, what if? What if he really awakened his consciousness?
Can he just leave it alone…
After a while, he asked softly, “Do you have to open the box and pass through my world?”
“Yes. I have to go. I also have my brother Fang waiting for me.” Nan Zhou said.
[Nanzhou] had a little yearning in his eyes: “He’s different from my brother Fang.”
Nan Zhou said bluntly: “It’s different. He loves me.”
[Nanzhou] sent out a soul torture: “How do you know that he is not another bait? You are not a creature manipulated in another box? You love him, he loves you, maybe It’s just an illusion created by someone who wants you to live well. Are there other eyes looking at your ‘love’ outside of your world? They need you to live, so you can live?”
Nan Zhou said decisively: “I don’t care.”
[Nanzhou] has a completely similar face to him, but the sentence “I don’t care”, [Nanzhou] is not confident to say it anyway.
He slowly removed his hand from the box and whispered to himself: “Maybe from the beginning, it was just my wishful thinking…”
Nan Zhou didn’t wait for him to finish ruminating, he took the tin box and opened the lid without pausing.
[Nanzhou]’s hesitation may only be momentary.
He can’t risk him going back and grabbing the box again.
At the moment when the lid opened, he raised his eyes.
Maybe because he was in the dark, he could no longer see the weird comment box, but only before the darkness of the mountains and tsunamis came, he saw tears in his eyes, gradually following the world And the broken [South Boat].
Nanzhou looked away.
He roughly guessed what kind of influence this infinite nesting doll box wanted to have on him.
The universe is vast, and people are like ants.
If he doubts his own existence, how can he win?
He calmed down and immersed himself in the third world in a box.
The second world, he didn’t have a good time to explore, and he didn’t have time to find the ticket.
Maybe in the third world…
Yue, who was hidden behind the clouds, lightly applied a little makeup.
…full moon?
At the same time, Nan Zhou found that his current situation was not optimistic.
He is now lying on the bed in a charming posture, his body is full of light and his face is blurred.
There was a sharp pain in his palm, and he was bound by a pair of silver handcuffs at the head of the bed. Under the influence of the full moon near the window, his strength was weak and he could not move.
Jiang Fang in the third world—let’s call him {Jiang Fang}—is stabbing a wooden peg into Nanzhou’s palm.
Hot blood gushed out from the wound, making Nan Zhou’s fingertips tremble in pain.
He heard the voice of {Jiang Fang} grimly: “Monster, you killed my family, I want to see, who are you?”
