Forces of Temptation - v2 Chapter 287

    How can this world still exist after I leave?

    Isn’t it… not crashing?

    With all the doubts, Nan Zhou wanted to get up.

    The cold sweat on his forehead dripped down with this kneeling.

    Several bright bloodstains on her cheeks were also washed away by cold sweat, revealing a pale background.

    He maintained this posture, his thin and beautiful shoulder blades rose and fell with heavy breathing for a while, before struggling to get up from the ground and opened the window.

    The little yellow bird who called early has already left.

    The sun is shining outside the window and the scenery is still the same.

    Combining everything in the room, Nan Zhou was sure that he had indeed returned to the first box world.

    The good thing is that he gets a perfectly safe rest period.

    The downside is that he’s lost.

    Nanzhou’s first reaction was: Did he play it wrong?

    Could it be that the ticket is like a tin box, every world has it, but I unilaterally gave up the ticket task and focused on finding the tin box, causing the task to fail and restarting?

    Or are there only three worlds in the box?

    Where will the train leaving this world stop?

    Where is the station?

    In other words, is there any difference?

    There are too many questions to think about.

    Nan Zhou decisively used “Dance of Puppets” to summon a group of cloth dolls, then turned around and entered the bathroom.

    After washing away the blood and water all over her body, and using hot water and steaming heat to fully relax her tense muscles, Nan Zhou checked the time.

    …There are only 6 hours and 50 minutes left until the scheduled departure time of the game.

    After Nan Zhou devoted himself to washing up and put on the clean clothes from the infinitely refreshed wardrobe, three puppets who had gone to other places to look for tickets and boxes returned. Pai squatted by the bed, waiting for him to come out of the bathroom.

    After seeing him, three blank faces swiped at him like sunflowers.

    One of them held a tin box with round hands.

    …The iron box used for teleportation has been replaced and placed under the giant tree in the town where he usually rides his bicycle.

    The box was found, but the “ticket” was still missing.

    Nanzhou was not surprised by this result.

    The first world is too peaceful, there are no enemies, no interference, and the huge town is completely left to him to search.

    From the perspective of game difficulty, even if you want to hide the ticket, you will not hide it here.

    However, even so, Nanzhou would have to search for peace of mind.

    He knew in his heart that he couldn’t waste too long here.

    He has to go to the next world.

    When the time comes again and the time starts again, no one knows what he will meet in the next world.

    Perhaps it is another time to deal with [Nanzhou] and {Jiang Fang} of those two worlds.

    Or maybe, those two worlds have been destroyed, waiting for him is another new world.

    It’s just that his state is not full.

    The penetrating wounds on Nan Zhou’s calf and palm were mostly healed, and a few bite wounds on his body were also healed, but the bone wounds were hard to heal.

    It took an hour to confirm that no new items other than boxes appeared in this safe spot, and Nan Zhou made the choice of “leaving”.

    Everything that follows is an unknown, only the best you can do.

    The lock is the same, and he has successfully opened it twice.

    At this time, the trembling muscles also calmed down.

    So opening the box is super easy.

    After a short period of darkness, the sun is overwhelming.

    In order to confirm his situation, Nan Zhou narrowed his eyes and forcibly observed the surrounding environment after getting used to the light.

    Seeing this, he was stunned.

    …Everything in front of him was so familiar that he was confused.

    He is standing in a wooded field opposite his house.

    Several seconds later, the window opened as he remembered, but no hand came out to feed the bird that had come to ask for food.

    [Nanzhou] Holding the window with both hands, looked out, and saw the opposite Nanzhou for the first time.

    His cold eyes lit up a little.

    He made a “come here” gesture to Nanzhou, and immediately left the window, turned and ran downstairs.

    Nan Zhou froze on the spot, a cloud of suspicion rose in his heart.

    But he did what he should have done.

    He ran all the way to the door of [Nanzhou] with a little stumble.

    When he stepped on the second step, the closed door suddenly opened in front of Nan Zhou.

    [Nanzhou] in pajamas stood inside the door, panting slightly from the boiling emotion in his chest, and looked at Nanzhou.

    [Nanzhou]’s voice was full of surprise: “Why are you back?”

    Nan Zhou was also very surprised: “…you remember me?”

    The two of them were confused and didn’t know what to ask each other when the door next door rang.

    —NPC [Jiang Fang] is coming to find his good friend.

    In order not to cause unnecessary confusion, [Nan Zhou] grabbed Nan Zhou by the collar, dragged him in, and closed the door quickly and silently.

    Half a minute later, [Jiang Fang] walked briskly to the door and knocked on the door.

    【Nanzhou】Press Nanzhou behind the door, and press his throat with one arm.

    He didn’t say a word, looking directly at the person in front of him.

    —His eyes are black and white, like a mirror, with the same concentration as when he looks at people.

    They can see themselves in each other’s eyes.

    [Jiang Fang] Wen Xu replied, “Okay. What about lunch?”

    [Nanzhou]: “Well. I want to eat noodles.”

    [Jiang Fang] replied with a smile: “Received, Teacher Nan.”

    If [Jiang Fang] had a little bit of his own thinking ability, he would find that [Nan Zhou] was clearly behind the door, why couldn’t he open the door and talk to him face to face?

    …but he didn’t.

    When the footsteps outside were drifting away, [Nan Zhou] loosened his grip on Nan Zhou and looked him up and down: “Why are you back?”

    …The world in the box is not destroyed with his departure, but just refreshed and restarted.

    This knowledge inexplicably made Nan Zhou’s heart a little more relaxed, and his doubts increased instead of diminished.

    He answered honestly, “I don’t know either.”

    “I woke up in bed just now.” [Nan Zhou] asked him sharply: “Will you still leave? Will I be stuck in this day forever?”

    Nan Zhou: “No, I want to leave here, only…”

    He glanced at his watch: “…less than six hours.”

    [Nanzhou] said: “After six hours, you won’t be able to leave?”

    Nan Zhou shook his head: “Maybe. I may be trapped in these three worlds forever and infinite reincarnation… or we may all disappear.”

    [Nanzhou] said to himself: “Ah, 50% chance.”

    Nan Zhou bluntly asked: “Can you help me?”

    [Nanzhou] also responded with the most straightforward attitude: “I don’t want you to go.”

    Nan Zhou: “Someone is waiting for me outside.”

    [Nanzhou]: “But no one is waiting for me. I also want someone to wait.”

    Two straightforward people, without concealing their selfishness and thoughts, and clearly telling each other their demands.

    Nan Zhou did not speak, just raised one hand, put it on [Nan Zhou]’s neck, and gently rubbed the back of his neck.

    He wanted to soothe the other self.

    [Nanzhou] obediently did not move.

    After letting his emotions settle down quickly, he grabbed Nan Zhou’s wrist with his backhand: “Okay… I know what the right thing is. How do you want me to help you?”

    According to the guidance of Nanzhou, [Nanzhou] walked around in person, and found a circle according to his daily route in the small town.

    Soon, he brought back the familiar iron box from the stone side of a small river.

    After Nan Zhou got the iron box, he tapped the side of the box with the engraved flowers, and thought that {Jiang Fang} was hidden inside, which was quite amazing.

    He also scattered his puppets, driving them to avoid people.

    But because the layout of the town is not completely similar to the never town he is familiar with, it takes far more time and effort than the first world in a box.

    During the waiting period, Nan Zhou briefly described what he was going to do to [Nan Zhou].

    【Nanzhou】also gave the same answer as {Jiangfang}: “I haven’t seen anything like a ‘ticket’ in the town before… Maybe it was when you arrived It came after that.”

    Nan Zhou replied: “Then look for it.”

    [Nanzhou] hypothesized: “Will it be buried underground? Or is it the homes of other residents?”

    Nan Zhou shook his head: “No.”

    [Nanzhou] also quickly communicated with him: “…Well, no. If this is the case, the twelve-hour limit may not even be able to search the whole world. … the game wouldn’t have such an unbalanced setup.”

    It is.

    This game is not a test server that is not open to the public. It can openly increase the difficulty and hide clues from players.

    This is the final battle, and there are countless high-dimensional people in the appearance.

    Even if the game party wants to do something, they don’t dare to be too open.

    …

    The search lasted for an hour and a half, and the result was only the same as the first world in a box.

    …At least on the bright side of the world in the second box, there is nothing that can be called a “ticket”.

    Not even an extra corner.

    It seems that if he wants to successfully find the “ticket”, he will continue to go to the third world in the box to find out.

    When Nan Zhou was sitting on the sofa of [Nan Zhou]’s house, twisting the lock with a wire rustling, [Nan Zhou] sat beside him and watched his every move .

    When the small lock tongue was moved and the lock snapped open, [Nan Zhou] suddenly asked in a low voice behind him: “…will you come back?”

    Nan Zhou thought, “Put your hand on my shoulder.”

    [Nanzhou]: “…Huh?”

    Nan Zhou: “I want to try and see if I can take you to the next world.”

    “There is also a person there… just as lonely as you.” Nan Zhou said, “I can introduce you to each other.”

    This is both an experiment and an adventure.

    Nanzhou wants to give it a try, the iron box can take away several people at one time.

    And if he takes away the core characters in the second world, will this world collapse.

    [Nanzhou] thought for a long time, but did not answer, just put a hand on Nanzhou’s shoulder.

    …

    Unfortunately, when the darkness poured into the sky, the weight of the hand on his shoulder suddenly disappeared.

    …Only Nan Zhou appeared under the Lonely Moon.

    Nan Zhou sighed.

     After testing, the box can only be teleported away from the person who opened the box.

    Without timing, Nanzhou swayed and almost fell from the roof.

    Fortunately, he finally stabilized his body.

    …but he still stepped on the tile with a small crack.

    After standing still, Nan Zhou suddenly felt that someone had described this scene to him.

    The next second, a familiar face poked out from the balcony below.

    {Jiang Fang} looked at him for a moment, and then greeted Nanzhou first: “Yo.”

    …Listening to the tone, he also recognized himself.

    Nan Zhou didn’t respond, just sighed: “…Alas.”

    He couldn’t figure out what all these settings were for.

    Just to keep him busy in three worlds?

    Still…

    Nanzhou thought of the theme of the copy [Ant].

    What’s the point of ants competing for blood and running around?

    …

    {Jiang Fang} clearly saw the whole process of his disappearance and reorganization.

    At the same time that he regained complete consciousness, he also returned to the room where Nanzhou was imprisoned.

    He watched his broken limbs grow blood and flesh inch by inch, the room that should have been a mess in the fight was not messy, the bed stained with Nanzhou’s blood was clean, even The faint scratches left by the handcuffs on the metal bed rail also disappeared.

    The moon hangs high outside the window.

    {Jiang Fang} sat down beside the bed and put his hand on the clean bed rail.

    He didn’t think about it originally, but suddenly he heard a familiar sound from the roof, and he felt a little bit, so he rushed to the balcony and saw Nanzhou.

    From this angle, Nanzhou’s eyebrows are very beautiful. Under the moonlight, a shadow is cast, which just covers half of his pupils, making the other half clear as water.

    {Jiang Fang} leaned against the bar and smiled: “Hey, are you so disappointed to see me? Just smile.”

    Seeing this man go and return, he sighed and sighed at himself, {Jiang Fang}’s state of mind was unexpectedly relaxed in twenty-five years.

    He raised his cheeks and asked, “Why, have you come back to collect debts?”

    “Hmm.”

    After adjusting her mentality, Nan Zhou said straight: “I want to ask you to help me find out if there is a ‘ticket’ I want in this world.”
