Forces of Temptation - v2 Chapter 301

    Nan Zhou said, “Wait.”

    Li Yinhang heard the words, the forcibly suppressed heart flame rose to three points with a bang: “Wait—”

    dong-dong-dong-

    The huge clock at the station hummed and made a chime, which made people’s hearts resonate, numb and uncomfortable, as if there were ants crawling on their hearts.

    Because the fog is too thick, too much moisture has accumulated on the pointer, and as the bell rings, there is also the sound of water droplets hitting the concrete floor.

    The sound of the bell was passed out layer by layer, and a distant crow was heard.

    The sound of footsteps they had already heard came from the fog, accompanied by a bright yellow, approaching light source.

    The flight attendant came to them again with a windbreaker like a firefly.

    Different from before, he put on a decent old-fashioned overalls, a pen was attached to the left breast pocket, and there was a smile on his face: “Sir, ma’am, do you want to go to the car?”

    Nan Zhou said: “No.”

     Hearing this, the flight attendant showed a somewhat embarrassed expression and said, “But I need to fill in the departure record form.”

    Li Yinhang was surprised.

    If she remembered correctly, the previous flight attendants only answered their questions.

    If they didn’t ask questions, the flight attendant would just repeat the same sentence: “Would you like to board?”

    This was the first time he took the initiative to answer.

    Nanzhou doesn’t seem to be surprised by this: “You can wait until it’s time to start.”

    The flight attendant sighed: “Okay. Then I have to prepare for the departure first.”

    Nanzhou: “Please.”

    He just took two steps when Nan Zhou suddenly asked behind him, “Excuse me, may I ask, what is the destination of this train?”

    The flight attendant turned around and smiled at him: “Of course it is a beautiful and free future.”

    Li Yinhang watched Nan Zhou and the flight attendant ask and answer, and a terrifying thought came into his heart.

    … This “person” looks more and more like a person.

    This time, the flight attendant did not disappear into the fog.

    He took the lamp and got into the car from the nearby door 3.

    Yuan, Ming and Qing, who were leaning against the door, stepped aside, gave him a place, and watched him walk all the way to the blank register hanging on the wall of the No. 2 carriage, from his chest From his pocket he took a blue old-fashioned ballpoint pen.

    After filling in the date, his pen stopped next to the “Number of Crew” column for a while, and sighed in distress.

    …It seems that Nan Zhou’s “unwillingness to get on the train” caused great trouble to his normal work.

    He clamped the plastic hard board with a pen clip and stumbled all the way to the cab.

    Yuan, Ming and Qing looked back and found that Nan Zhou had also turned on his flashlight, and beckoned to himself and Chen Sufeng behind him: “Come here.”

    There are three simple pictures on Nan Zhou’s knees.

    Yuan Mingqing was a little unhappy. When he turned on his flashlight to check the content of the painting, he was still complaining: “Can’t you get in the car to see it?”

    Forget about the bad air environment, in the fog, the ability to see things is passively reduced, and the light of the flashlight is only enough to illuminate a small area.

    Li Yinhang also didn’t like the atmosphere of the station.

    Being in it, the originally thin sense of security was extremely low, as if a hand would stick out from behind at any time and pat her on the shoulder.

    Until she saw what was in the painting, another chill rose from her heels.

    The pencil sketches look a little fuzzy on the paper soaked in mist.

    However, on the limited three pieces of paper, Nan Zhou tried his best to perfectly restore the **** scene of the last three carriages he saw in the car.

    The bloodstain is black and white, but because the picture is real, the impact is extremely strong.

    In addition to the soft and rotten feeling of the paper, it feels like the blood oozing from the painting has stained the fingertips, making people feel uncomfortable.

    The Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties took the lead in asking questions on behalf of others: “What is this?”

    “Didn’t you ask me what I saw in the car when I came back first?” Nan Zhou said, “This is what I saw in the car.”

    Someone was thrown out the window.

    An eye was pierced by a broken tabletop.

    Someone shed blood and died in the last carriage.

    …this is a hellscape without corpses.

    Yuan, Ming and Qing laughed: “What does this mean?”

    “After I came back for the first time, I saw the future of this car before you.” Nan Zhou explained succinctly, “The things in the painting will definitely happen in the future.”

    Li Yinhang’s heart suddenly brightened.

    …The missing piece of the puzzle, which could be connected to the next, finally fell into the place where it should fall.

    Because Nan Zhou had the shortest copy time, he was arranged to return first.

    Only the first person to come back can get into a gap in time and space and see the future in the train.

    It was because of seeing the future that Nanzhou judged from various traces that it would be difficult for Jiang Fang to catch the train within the scheduled time.

    So, Nan Zhou knew from the beginning that he would stay and wait for Jiang Fang.

    Recalling the various strange actions Nanzhou made, Yuan, Ming and Qing are still dubious: “How do you prove that what you see is the future?”

    At present, the only thing in the painting that is in line with reality is that after Chen Sufeng entered the No. 4 carriage, he stumbled and accidentally tore off half of the curtains.

    But in fact, the curtain was only half torn.

    The blood-stained curtains in the painting are completely invincible.

    Nan Zhou said: “I have been proving.”

    Li Yinhang felt something for a while, and noticed the faint handwriting that penetrated from the back of the paper, as if there was content behind.

    She flipped the paper over.

    When she saw the content behind the paper, she suddenly froze, covered her mouth and exclaimed: “Ah!”

    In the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd carriages, what Nan Zhou saw came to the fore.

    The dried hot and spicy vermicelli in the first carriage, and two bottles of mineral water that were rolled in the corners until they became soft.

    In the second car, there is a starting record table hanging on the wall of the car, and the same blue ballpoint pen that was originally worn on the chest of the flight attendant rolled down in the corner.

    In the third carriage there was a table of melon shells and magazines.

    The content of the drawing overlaps with most of what is currently happening in the car.

    “The first time I got in the car, I thought it was supposed to look like this.”

    Nan Zhou raised his flashlight and looked at the dumbfounded Yuan Ming and Qing Dynasties.

    Yuan Mingqing’s scalp numb: “…but you find that you are completely different from what I see.”

    Nan Zhou nodded: “Yeah. Later, I walked through the carriage again by myself.”

    The interior of the car has returned to “normal”, but this is the most abnormal.

    Nanzhou became more confident with each step she took.

    —The station, also a copy.

    However, what he wants to fight is not only time, but also people’s hearts.

    Li Yinhang could not help but substitute himself into the Nanzhou at that time.

    If she were in another place, she was the first person to witness the strange phenomenon on the train, but she learned from Yuan Mingqing that what he saw inside the car was completely different from what he saw Different, he would definitely be very uneasy, he immediately pulled Yuan Mingqing on the train, explained the strange phenomena he had seen one by one, and tried to prove the strangeness of this train.

    After all, this feeling of “only one person knows what horror is” sucks.

    For an analogy, there is a female ghost in the dormitory that only you know of its existence.

    As long as you are an individual, under normal circumstances, you can’t help but share this fear.

    However, this sharing will have devastating consequences.

    Because the second person who came back was Yuan, Ming and Qing.

    A high-dimensional person who was forced to join the “Cube Ark” halfway and did not build trust with anyone in the team at all.

    Answering according to the facts, will not exchange for sincerity, but only in exchange for suspicion.

    After all, everyone knows that Nan Zhou’s only selfishness is Jiang Fang.

    If Jiang Fang did not come back, he would delay the departure of the train at all costs, even at the expense of himself.

    Who knows if he will tell a big lie in order to create an atmosphere of “train danger”?

    There is no benefit in stating the fact that you “see the future of the train” truthfully.

    Because he has no evidence.

    So, what did Nanzhou do?

    After turning around in the car, he quietly got out of the car.

    He never mentioned anything about the train, but calmly asked what Li Yinhang had experienced in the copy.

    He was alone, bearing the fear and anxiety that should have been shared by everyone.

    “I got out of the car and never got on again.” Nan Zhou said lightly, “When I heard that Yinhang wanted to go up and get some food, I thought, let’s start.”

    “Only when things happen in the future can they become ‘the future’ little by little.”

    “The future needs to be driven and created by events one by one.”

    “As long as I don’t debunk what will happen in the future, then, as time goes on, I will be able to find evidence to support my claims and make you believe me.”

    “But if I break it down, it will derail in the future, and I will never find a way to prove what I said is right. In the end, I can’t persuade you, and you can’t just believe me One-sided words. In the end, you will still get on this train.”

    And the first event to piece together the future is “Li Yinhang is going to get in the car to get food”.

    In this way, in the first carriage, the bowl of convenience fans and the two bottles of mineral water came to an end.

     Sensing the occurrence of such an event further strengthened Nan Zhou’s idea of ​​”promoting the occurrence of future events”.

    In this process, he can create “evidence” enough to convince everyone out of thin air.

    Li Yinhang suddenly realized: “So, you care that I asked for these three pieces of paper—”

    Nan Zhou nodded, took Li Yinhang’s notebook, opened the part of the broken page, and placed the three torn pieces of paper on top of each other.

    It fits perfectly.

    Nan Zhou raised his head, looked at Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and said, “In this way, it can prove that this painting was not painted by me in advance.”

    “I didn’t get in the car again after getting the paper. . . . you’ve been watching me, haven’t you?

    Nanzhou becomes an “observer” independent of the space of the train.

    The train itself has become a Schrödinger’s box, and all the accidental events in it are happening freely.

    Including Chen Sufeng’s unsteady standing curtains, including the spicy fans who were forgotten by Li Yinhang in the first compartment, including Nanji Xing’s diligently knocking melon seeds for Li Yinhang…

    These events continue to stack up and move into the future over time.

    …to that **** future.
