Forces of Temptation

The little mermaid had blushing cheeks, Nuonuo said: "The answer is correct."

Jiang Fang had returned to his own rock.

Hearing the verdict made by Sea of ​​Memory, he supported the rock, turned around under the moonlight, and smiled brightly at Nan Zhou.

Nan Zhou rubbed his lower abdomen with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Li Yinhang: Got it.

If next time, she is asked death questions such as "the most regrettable thing in her life", she will go to the scene and shave her head.

As long as the path is wild enough, the opponent can have nowhere to go.

Half the time to answer the question.

There are still more than two hours until dawn.

In addition to Li Yinhang's first mistake, it was full of calculations.They still have 11 questions to answer.

The mouth of the drifting bottle turned to Nanzhou again.

The question is: "What's the craziest thing you've ever done?"

The answer Nanzhou gave was: "Leave the place I am familiar with."

Nan Zhou had long forgotten how he managed to leave Neverland.

Even though he was alone in that world, even though there were a steady stream of invaders in the world, the moment Nan Zhou left, it meant that he bid farewell to his birthplace, bid farewell to his kind, and set foot on the Uncharted territory.

That's crazy enough.

The sea of ​​memory also recognized his madness.

correct answer.

Next, the mouth of the bottle pointed at Jiang Fang for the second time.

The question is: "The most successful lie in your life?"

As soon as Li Yinhang heard this question, Jiang Fang's eyes were darkened.

Given the amount of lies a person has told in his entire life, how can he evaluate whether he has lied successfully or not? !

She looked at Jiang Fang anxiously, but she saw Jiang Fang forbearingly turned his face away. His face, which was so white because of his wet body, was slightly blushing under the moonlight.

Li Yinhang: "..."

You blush a bubble teapot?

Jiang Fang's silence lasted for a full 15 minutes.

Holding the rock with his fingertips, it was the first time he felt the 15 minutes go by so quickly.

The number of times Jiang Fang lied was even more exaggerated than Li Yinhang estimated.

It can be said that the honesty of his life was consumed and overdrawn in his childhood.

After that, his life was filled with colorful lights and shadows, and countless lies.

Sometimes, even he couldn't tell what was real.

But Jiang Fang always remembered that lie.

The one that succeeded, even outwitted his own lie.

At the end of the 15-minute period, he came to the criminal record, and he uttered five words in a low voice: "I... don't like him."

……correct answer.

The next time, the bottle was aimed at Li Yinhang again.

At this moment, Li Yinhang only had one chance to make a mistake.

One more wrong answer, and she has only one life left.

So she cheered up 12 points, straightened her back, and watched the drifting bottle swim towards her with a tragic expression, as if what came was not a bottle, but a piece of shark fin.

She opened the bottle carefully.

The question on the slip was: "What was the last evil thought you had?"

Li Yinhang: "..." She wanted to choose death.

She glanced at Nan Zhou and Jiang Fang from the corner of her eye, with a complicated expression on her face.

Noticing her slightly unusual expression, Jiang Fang thought, he probably understood.

Li Yinhang answered the most times and made the most mistakes.

...In this extreme situation, what she probably thought was that she hoped that more bottles would be transferred to them.

This question is very poisonous.

It can be said that if their relationship is not close enough, or they are simply plastic teammates, this problem is enough to destroy the trust between them, or leave long-term fears and hidden dangers.

But Jiang Fang felt that this was nothing.

It's a matter of life and death, and she only has two chances left.

It's just human nature to think so.

However, Li Yinhang's answer was completely different from what Jiang Fang thought.

After hesitating for 15 minutes, Li Yinhang covered his face and weakly confessed the dark thoughts in his heart: "Just now... I was wondering if they would choke if they fell into the water when they were kissing. water."

The little mermaid covered her mouth and smiled: "Well, the answer is correct."

Hearing this answer beyond his imagination, Jiang Fang's gaze towards Li Yinhang changed slightly.

Even in this case, she never thought about it...

It was the first time since this moment that Jiang Fang looked squarely at the girl who had been following them all this time, carefully planning and calculating her life to survive.

One question and one answer, one back and one back.

Time is invisible in the process of constantly reviewing the past.

Regardless of whether the sea of ​​memory approves their answers, they are forced to unearth many long-term memories about themselves.

Countless fragments surged along with the tide of memory and were left on the beach, leaving behind a place of treasures shining with fine fragments that even they hadn't noticed.

The questions that are constantly asked can give a glimpse of a person's character, secrets, and obsessions.

If you create a wrong question book for three people, you will find:

Li Yinhang is affected by the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of normal people, and his memory is complex and complex.

The accumulation of more than 20 years of life has made the problems she faces daily and difficult.

There are obviously faults in Nan Zhou's memory.

Some problems, in the eyes of ordinary people, are obviously very simple, but he will make mistakes again and again.

The extremely rational Jiang Fang was more troubled by the problem itself than by the difficulty of the problem.

As time progressed, Li Yinhang answered another question wrongly, and now there was only one head struggling, holding on to the last position.

Nanzhou answered two questions wrong one after another, following in Li Yinhang's footsteps.

One question is "What is your most impressive dream?"

Another question is "What is the most important thing you have ever lost".

Nan Zhou asked the little mermaid for answers to these two questions.

Like Li Yinhang's previous point, the little mermaid didn't answer too deeply.

She just said that Nan Zhou's most memorable dream was that he and another person were outside the dessert shop outside Bar Street, surrounded by fine icing like snow.

And the most important thing he lost was not the apple tree, but a person.

Nan Zhou was very unhappy.

How could something that he didn't remember himself be considered "impressive"?

But the rules read his memory without authorization, telling him that he should remember and not forget.

Facing the vast and boundless sea of ​​memory right under their feet, they can only follow its judgments and conclusions, without any reason to say.

At the penultimate question, a brand-new eruption of skylight was already brewing behind the thick black clouds.

At this moment, the mouth of the bottle turned to Jiang Fang.

Jiang Fang unfolded the scroll and read out the question: "What is the most painful thing for you?"

Nan Zhou frowned.

He didn't like the question very much.

In the [Sand, Sand, Sand] copy, in order to comfort himself, Jiang Fang showed himself his tattoo scars, let himself touch them, and told him his stories in a soft voice.

Father's death.

Mother died of alcoholism.

An indulgent, long and lonely wandering life.

Nan Zhou had heard it and remembered it, so he didn't want Jiang Fang to think about it a second time.

He also knows that this is unreasonable and unscientific.

The memory belongs to Jiang Fang, rooted in Jiang Fang's mind, and cannot be dominated by him.

But he just hoped that Jiang Fang would not recall it uselessly.

Nan Zhou looked at Jiang Fang intently, and told him with his eyes that he could give up this question.

This is already the penultimate question, and Jiang Fang has only answered two questions wrong so far.

Even if he refuses to answer this time, and the next round draws him again, he will not be in danger.

As if he understood Nan Zhou's eyes, Jiang Fang watched the swaying water in front of him and kept absolutely silent.

Until the little mermaid reminded: "The time is coming."

Jiang Fang still didn't speak, and let the puppet form spread all the way to his waist and abdomen.

He really gave up the right to answer this question.

Nan Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, there is only one question left to answer.

Already a thin, gold-leaf rim lined the dark clouds.

The little mermaid picked up the last drifting bottle reverently, rubbed it in her palm for a while, and threw it into the sea.

The gentle sea wave once swallowed the body of the bottle, and quickly lifted it out, allowing it to sway, sink, and spin counterclockwise.

Li Yinhang couldn't move, his heart reached his throat, and he was beating wildly.

It comforted her, but it also terrified her.

Panic and heartbeat are the only evidence that she can confirm that she has not completely turned into a puppet.

In the end, the mouth of the bottle swayed...and aimed at Nan Zhou.

The right to answer the question for the last time was left to Nan Zhou.

And he only had one last chance to answer the question.

The unmistakable kind.

Li Yinhang's whole body became hot and dry.

After a brief, instinctive relaxation, there is endless remorse and anxiety.

Game time is 5 hours.

The fifth door game would be over by now if she didn't rush to answer in the first place.

Holding on to his last hope, Li Yinhang asked the little mermaid: "There are only 10 minutes until the end of the game. Isn't there a 15-minute time limit for answering? Then the last question, can you just not answer it and wait until the end of the game—"

The little mermaid looked at her guiltily with blue eyes like the sea, and shook her head: "Sorry, as long as the time is up, the question and answer will continue. What you have to do is to answer all the questions before sunrise. Once There are questions that have not been successfully answered, and those who fail to answer will be deemed to have abstained from voting within the time limit."

With that said, the little mermaid turned to Nan Zhou: "You still have 10 minutes."

...not only failed to win the right not to answer, but the time for answering was also compressed.

Compared to Li Yinhang, who was restless and unspeakable, Nan Zhou's expression was much calmer.

He calmly unfolded the little page that would determine his fate.

——"If you had the opportunity to change your life, which point in time would you choose to go back to?"

Hearing the question, Jiang Fang's expression changed slightly.

His numb fingers squeezed hard, scratching the fabric at the knee bend.

When it comes to "a lifetime", it must be compared horizontally to be valuable.

However, an important part of Nanzhou's "life" was missing.

Nan Zhou lowered his eyelashes lightly, thinking about the answer quietly.

Time is like a worm, crawling slowly on them.

Every second lost, a wave of trembling and uneasiness towards the unknown is transmitted from the nerve endings.

——This kind of question cannot be reminded, let alone create new memories on the spot.

Memory is private.

No matter whether it is Li Yinhang or Jiang Fang, they are extremely powerful, but they can't help Nan Zhou at all.

Seeing that the time for answering questions was about to end, the little mermaid urged: "Please go back—"

"I won't change."

Nan Zhou suddenly spoke, interrupting the little mermaid's words.

He said: "Before, I had no ability, no freedom, and could not change; when I have the ability and freedom, I will not regret any actions I have made."

Li Yinhang clenched his lips.

This is obviously the wrong answer!

The rules have been said, and the questions drawn must have answers, and "no" cannot be used to prevaricate.

How could Nanzhou even forget this?

Nan Zhou looked directly at the little mermaid, and changed the topic.

"...But, if it must be changed, I hope..."

Nan Zhou paused, raised his eyes, and looked at the ray of bright light projected from a distance after the clouds cleared and the fog cleared.

It divides the gap between day and night with the smoothest lines.

At this last moment, Nan Zhou's voice slowed down a lot.

"I wish that when I met the man who planted my apple tree, I should have stopped him at the window."

"I would say, 'I'm Nanzhou, nice to meet you'."

"'Excuse me, may I know you'."

"answer……"

The little mermaid looked at him much softer: "Correct."

With her announcement, the quiz game is officially over.

And the sunrise came inexorably.

The clouds are like fish scales, passing one by one, and they are quickly rendered and outlined by the daylight which is similar to Brahman light.

The fate between the little mermaid and them, who met by chance, is about to come to an end.

Her body is gradually becoming transparent.

And half a minute before she officially dissipated, the little mermaid looked at Jiang Fang and asked a question that she was very interested in just now:

"Why didn't you answer the last question?"

Are you unsure of the answer?

Is it because you can't speak, and you don't want to show your pain?

still is……

Jiang Fang looked back at the little mermaid calmly: "Because it's meaningless to recall pain and failure."

"I just need to know that I'm good enough to match him now. That's enough."

The little mermaid looked at him enviously, and then at Nanzhou, as if she was looking at something beautiful that she would never be able to reach.

With this clear and affectionate gaze, the little mermaid's body shattered into foam, and under the boundless golden light, it scattered colorful halos.

The author has something to say:

Southern Boat: Apple Tree Ms. X

Nanzhou: Mr. Apple Tree√

The little mermaid: Ah, I got knocked.jpg
