Forces of Temptation - v2 Chapter 298

    The two in the car also heard the movement outside.

    Li Yinhang probed from the carriage: “Xiao Chen?”

    Chen Sufeng was undecided, trying to stabilize his voice: “…I’m back.”

    He opened his mouth and inhaled a sufficient amount of moist water vapor, his throat shrank, and he coughed violently.

    “Cough-cough!”

    Li Yinhang took out two soft handkerchiefs, one covered his mouth and nose, bowed his head and got out of the carriage, followed by a low cough, and handed the other to Chen Sufeng.

    She is sure that the outside environment is no longer suitable for people.

    Because of a few breaths, she obviously felt that the handkerchief covering her mouth and nose became wet.

    She dragged Chen Sufeng with one hand, twisted her body and shouted at the mist: “Mr. Nan, get in the car! This mist—”

    Nanzhou’s voice came from the fog: “I won’t go up.”

    Li Yinhang: “???”

    She didn’t think too much, holding Chen Sufeng’s hand, groping the outer wall of the carriage, found the nearest door, and led him up.

    This is the fourth carriage.

    Chen Sufeng’s body and mind are obviously not completely separated from the copy, and his eyes are confused for a while while looking at the surrounding environment, and his feet are not very stable.

    When he walked to a window, he tripped because the rubber on the floor of the train was lifted at a corner. He grabbed the blue curtain of the train and tried to keep his balance, but he suddenly Two or three of the plastic rings on the iron shaft were torn off.

    The curtains hang down.

    Li Yinhang pulled him: “Be careful.”

    Chen Sufeng nodded gratefully to her.

    Finally, they successfully reached the third carriage.

    Li Yinhang didn’t understand at first why Chen Sufeng’s reaction after leaving the copy was so strange.

    Until Yuan Mingqing next to her made an “open panel” gesture to her.

    Li Yinhang was inspired to check the real-time san value of his teammate Chen Sufeng.

    She is sensitive to numbers, so remembers basic panel data for all teammates.

    In her memory, Chen Sufeng’s san value has always been 5, the level of ordinary level.

    And now, his san value is “1”.

    Li Yinhang returned to the No. 1 carriage and found that the water temperature of the mineral water in the iron water tank was basically 7 or 80 degrees, so he unscrewed both bottles of water, and poured one bottle into the Paper bowls, a bottle poured into a cup taken from the warehouse.

    The hot temperature penetrated from the cup, with a little reassuring power.

    Because the hot water is not hot enough, it takes a certain amount of time to soak the fans, so Li Yinhang didn’t get it right away.

    She put two empty bottles on the table of No. 1 carriage, returned to No. 3 carriage, and first handed the water cup to Chen Sufeng.

    Drink some hot water to at least soothe some tension.

    After five minutes passed and his san value jumped to “2”, Chen Sufeng slowly exhaled.

    The breath was unusually long, as if it had been clogged in his chest for a long time.

    After he let out this breath, Nan Zhou’s voice sounded outside at the right time: “How long is the completion time for your copy?”

    Chen Sufeng took a hot sip of water: “Me? I…16 hours.”

     Hearing this answer, Li Yinhang couldn’t hide his surprise, and looked at Yuan Mingqing.

    …She thought that everyone except Nan Zhou had 24 hours to complete the dungeon.

    She also pondered secretly, what are the two time points “12 hours” and “24 hours”, now it seems that 80% of them think too much.

    Li Yinhang glanced at the simple timeline he drew on his notebook, and calculated the time: “Then you escaped before… the time limit for the dungeon was approaching?”

    Chen Sufeng smiled bitterly: “It was a fluke.”

    Nan Zhou asked outside: “What is your game?”

    Chen Sufeng stood up and looked out: “It’s so foggy outside, come in and talk.”

    Nan Zhou did not answer.

    Chen Sufeng:…?

    He looked back at Li Yinhang and Yuan Ming and Qing Dynasties.

    Yuan Mingqing shrugged at him.

    The two of them didn’t know where Nanzhou’s inexplicable persistence came from.

    In order to hear Nan Zhou more clearly, Chen Sufeng sat at the door of the train.

    “I went to an AVG game with a Cthulhu world view. In the setting, I was the captain of a research team. To enter an ancient tomb to investigate mysterious phenomena, the approximate mission description is … ‘Humans are ants in the presence of gods, but ants also have a heart that wants to pay their respects to gods’ . . . and so on.”

    …Li Yinhang understood.

    No wonder his san value dropped like this.

    Chen Sufeng’s game is relatively special, it is a text adventure game.

    Once the key node of the plot is reached, the game will enter a time-stop state, and several multiple-choice questions will pop up in front of Chen Sufeng.

    Different choices will lead him to different fate branches.

    And unlike ordinary text adventure games, Chen Sufeng has no save points.

    This also means that if you choose the wrong one, you will lose the whole game.

    As the captain, he even had to choose whether to go east or west in the tomb passage with many organs.

    Every time you reach a fork in the road, three or even five floating options pop up in front of you. Not being able to move forward without a choice, this invisible sense of pressure, coupled with the suffocating underground air, is enough to drive people crazy.

    Li Yinhang listened to his description and was stunned for a long time, then said sincerely: “…that’s really difficult.”

    Chen Sufeng scratched the back of his head: “This is actually not bad. My mission is to survive within 16 hours, as long as I can survive, things like ‘exploration failure’ don’t matter. My birth point is In the tomb passage, I can only walk backwards according to the map drawn along the way, I want to take the team out and stay away from danger.”

    “But later, the way out was destroyed, and the purpose of my leaving was discovered.”

    “My teammates suddenly started chasing me…” Chen Sufeng shook his head helplessly, “I…were tricked by them. Only two or three of them are still loyal to me as the ‘captain’, the others All have become slaves and fanatics of God.”

    “They were originally loyal believers in science, but when their beliefs deepened to a certain level, their thinking reversed 180 degrees. – The setting is like this, as long as His belief in science is pure to a certain extent, and when he breaks through a certain critical value, his spirit will be infiltrated by that indescribable thing under the influence of the evil god.”

    “It can be seen from my notes that I, the captain, probably have too many mundane things to consider and scruples, but I don’t study as deeply as these team members, so I am slow. Slowly became the ‘outlier’ among them.”

    When this cruel fact was exposed, facing the team members with scarlet eyes and muttering indescribable words, the system popped up in front of Chen Sufeng “Escape!”, “Talk, try There are three options: “Try it”, “By coincidence, I am also a believer of God”.

    Chen Sufeng made a decisive decision and chose “escape”.

    He didn’t dare to lie to these people, and he didn’t have much confidence in his ability to disguise.

    “I escaped for a long time, hiding and hiding. The tomb is very long and the tomb is very large. I thought I could hide, but at the 14th hour, I was still caught. “

    When he was pressed against the wall by a fanatic and stabbed in the waist with a dagger, Chen Sufeng reluctantly opened his eyes in severe pain and dizziness, but he was in a place not far away. On the tomb path, there was a series of **** words written on the wall with fingernails: “You can’t escape.”

    In the center of the word “的”, there is an index finger nail.

    Chen Sufeng lowered his head and found that the nail of his right index finger had fallen off at some point.

    He was horrified.

    Li Yinhang made his palms sweat just listening to it.

    Nanzhou outside also nodded slightly.

    Li Yinhang is right.

    The puzzles that Gaowei people gave to Chen Sufeng were very difficult.

    …The point of leaving a copy is clearly “choosing death voluntarily”.

    However, on the one hand, the game form of “multiple choice” is extremely easy to solidify people’s judgment, and induce Chen Sufeng to focus more on the question of “how to choose”.

    This kind of psychological suggestion he accepts will make him have no time to think about “I want to die voluntarily”.

    In the train, Li Yinhang couldn’t think of how Chen Sufeng would break the game even if he broke his head: “Then how did you—”

    Chen Sufeng said: “They escorted me and a few people to go down and go deep.”

    “Later, we entered a huge stone gate.”

    “There’s a space in there that makes me dizzy. . . . It’s so big, so big.”

    Chen Sufeng obviously didn’t want to recall, but he clenched his fists masochistically, forcing himself to restore the details.

    “…it was pitch black ahead, the lights didn’t seem to illuminate the road, it seemed to be swallowed up by the darkness.…We were walking in the esophagus.”

    “They pushed me to kneel in front of a magic circle. … I know they want to execute aliens. Because I am their captain, they can’t tolerate aliens like me even more.”

    “They began to chant and fervently praise the greatness of the evil god.”

    Because of the gradually excited emotions, Chen Sufeng’s tone became faster and faster, which hung Li Yinhang’s heart higher and higher.

    “I’ve been waiting for options to come up—I’ve been waiting, I’ve been waiting all the way.”

    “But nothing came.”

    “I didn’t realize until I was crushed on the altar and knelt down. The game may end the moment I get caught.”

    “My mind was empty. I knew I was going to die. But I couldn’t figure out what went wrong. I ran away, no problem. I didn’t understand this Cthulhu civilization, even if you want to disguise believers, you can’t disguise at all, if you miss the opportunity to escape, then it’s really over.”

     “Moreover, there are too many of them, and they are more familiar with the terrain here than I who only took a map. Even if I run, I can’t run for 16 hours.”

    Speaking of this, Chen Sufeng’s tone began to be fierce.

    “I know I’m going to die. But I can’t just die like this.”

    “When they started dancing around me, I shouted out-“

    “—Honorable god, all believers here will be your sacrifices!”

    Li Yinhang was enlightened.

    Since he called the evil **** a “dignified god” and made sacrifices, then Chen Sufeng himself would also become a believer of the evil **** and voluntarily became the object of sacrifice.

    …This disguisedly satisfies the condition of “voluntary sacrifice”.

    Chen Sufeng closed his eyes.

    Darkness glows with dazzling and infinite colors.

    He knew from the notes that he couldn’t look directly at the “god” image in the depths of the color, otherwise his san value would inevitably return to zero, and even if he returned alive, he would be crazy.

    There were indescribable excited cries and murmurs from the fanatics.

    I don’t know if it is because of fear or the excitement of the ants finally seeing the gods.

    The gods stepped down and crushed the ants into powder.

    …Opening his eyes again, Chen Sufeng came to this foggy station.

    After roughly speaking, he calmed down and took two sips of hot water to regain his composure.

    After looking around, Chen Sufeng confirmed the current situation: “Besides me, only Brother Jiang Fang has not come back, right?”

    Yuan Mingqing made a “hmm” and looked out the window thoughtfully.

    Learn about his customs clearance process. Although it was thrilling, Li Yinhang’s heart was also calm.

    Two hours or so.

    If Chen Sufeng can come back, then Fang will definitely be able to return—

    It seemed that everything had come true, and a series of footsteps suddenly came from outside the platform.

    Li Yinhang was overjoyed, opened his mouth and said, “Fang—”

    Nanzhou’s voice came from the depths of the thick fog: “…It’s me.”

    Li Yinhang thought Jiang Fang was back, and his heart tightened slightly.

    However, Nanzhou is willing to get in the car…

    The next second, the muffled sound of broken glass came from the depths of the thick fog, followed by the sound of the iron dustbin rolling to the ground.

    Li Yinhang was startled, suddenly stood up, and just about to go out, Yuan Mingqing held her shoulders: “You and Chen Sufeng stay here, I’ll go down and have a look.”

    The Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties stepped into the thick fog, traced the source of the sound, and went all the way.

    Click.

    He stepped on a broken glass.

    Yuan, Ming and Qing looked down and saw that the broken glass stretched forward all the way to the newsstand in the station.

    …Nan Zhou broke the glass of the locked newsstand.

    Because the newsstand was not soaked by the fog, Yuan Mingqing found that Nan Zhou was standing beside the dusty beverage rack, looking down at the beverages on the rack, wondering what he was thinking.

    Yuan Mingqing picked up a magazine and put it in front of his nose to block the uncomfortable over-moist air: “Why do you have to stay outside? This car Is there anything in the car that you’re afraid of?”

    Nan Zhou glanced at him and didn’t want to answer: “I want to wait for someone.”

    Yuan Mingqing took a step forward and grabbed his arm: “What do you want to do?”

    “Do you pretend to be a ghost to make us afraid of the train?” He stared at Nanzhou, every word he said, “You want us all to stay and wait for Jiang Fang, right? “
