Forces of Temptation

The visitor appeared unusually abruptly, without any vitality.

Therefore, Jiang Fang shot mercilessly, and before he could raise his head, a cold light flickered on his fingertips, and he flew away following the sound.

A piece of Ace of Hearts that was as sharp as a knife cut off the head of the person who made the sound with a puff.

pat.

What fell in front of them was the head of... a toy doll.

The puppet's body is still above the alleyway, holding the waterproof edge with both hands, maintaining the movement of the probe, and its snow-white and soft hands and feet hang down like shrimps.

...It looks naive and weird.

The doll is filled with cotton, and strands of cotton stick out from the fracture.

When Nan Zhou squatted down and tried to turn it over with a twig in the alley, its head rolled, and its two shiny black peas-like eyes rolled around several times, locking onto Nan Zhou's face.

Li Yinhang took a step back in horror.

The puppet cleared its throat and said, "Hmm...how are you all?"

His voice is pleasant and magnetic, and there is a relaxed smile that doesn't care about anything.

Nan Zhou propped his elbows on his knees: "Who are you?"

Puppet head: "Please wait a moment."

It tried hard to straighten itself, but after turning around on the ground a few times, it still couldn't make it out.

Nan Zhou and Jiang Fang looked at each other.

Nan Zhou took the initiative to reach out and straighten that weird head.

Nanzhou from the puppet perspective has finally changed from a horizontal version to a normal one.

The head of the puppet is quite polite: "Ah, thank you."

After thanking you, he introduced himself solemnly: "Hi, my name is Yi Shuige. I'm in a hotel about three lanes away from you."

Without waiting for Nanzhou to say anything, Li Yinhang immediately searched for the name "Yishuige" according to the order of the ranking list.

Nanzhou cut to the chase: "How can you help us?"

The head of the puppet is also unambiguous: "Have you ever used the storage function of the warehouse? You know that the warehouse can also store people, right?"

Li Yinhang's searching hand stopped slightly.

md, is this a trap?

It's a trap only a fool would fall into.

He explained his position so enthusiastically and invited them to find him, but if he really entered the other party's warehouse, it would be equivalent to completely handing over his own stay and freedom to this stranger.

In the end, isn't he letting him get what he wants?

Li Yinhang was so bored that he even lost interest in negotiating with him: "Don't talk to him."

The man over there who called himself "Yi Shuige" said "uh": "Since this doesn't work, there is another way."

Nan Zhou continued to talk to him: "What?"

"That sugar glider of yours..." Yi Shuige smiled meaningfully, "It should have a rather big mouth. Would you consider letting it play its 'should' function?"

Jiang Fang's eyebrows moved.

...He actually knows the Antarctic Star?

Nan Zhou's curiosity grew even stronger: "Who are you?"

The man smiled and said, "I am Yi Shuige."

Nan Zhou: "Who is Yi Shuige?"

Yi Shuige: "Since you're interested, come and see me."

As if he realized that he didn't have enough temptations and weights, he wrote lightly: "You didn't come in vain. Even if I want to set up a trick against you, can't you also take away my props for manipulating the puppet? S-level ones are especially easy to use.”

……wack.

He didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong with presenting such a heavyweight temptation openly.

Nan Zhou and Jiang Fang exchanged glances.

--go?

--Why not?

They looked at Li Yinhang again.

Li Yinhang was holding the Antarctic Star thoughtfully.

She said carefully: "Yes."

When the three reached an agreement, the puppeteer Yi Shuige said with a smile: "Then follow my puppet. It will find a path for you to come to me."

He added: "Remember to return the head to its body. Otherwise, it won't be able to see the way."

……

Under the night, the snow-white soft puppet raised his hands, held his head that was out of touch with his body from both sides, and guided them wobbly through the maze-like alleyway for a while, then climbed up a The fire escape, with its waist down, leads them, and walks through the shadows of various neon lights in small steps.

While subconsciously imitating the movements of the doll, Li Yinhang begged Nan Zhou and Jiang Fang for peace of mind: "Is it really all right?"

Nan Zhou: "Who knows."

Jiang Fang: "It's quite interesting."

Li Yinhang: "..."

Her mentality is still not comparable to that of the boss.

She is cowardly.

So she picked up her unfinished business and continued to search for information about "Yi Shuige" on the rankings.

The puppet led them all the way to the roof of a hotel.

A huge, flickering neon signboard is inlaid above the hotel, which takes advantage of the darkness under the lights and perfectly covers the three figures walking through it.

And on the backside of the ultimate bustling lights, on the cement wall on the top floor, someone carved a sentence in stone here.

— there is no hope.

This is probably the last words left by a certain player who was selected into "Gravity" in this corner of the "Paper Gold" city in the midst of timidity, fear and extreme despair.

After the puppet comes here, it doesn't leave.

After it stood still at a corner to the south of the rooftop, it turned around and bowed politely to the three of them.

Immediately, with a bang, it completely disappeared before the eyes of the three of them.

When Nan Zhou curiously approached the edge of the roof, Li Yinhang finally found Yi Shuige's name on the ranking list.

His personal ranking is exactly 300th, so he should be a player with good personal ability.

But the thing is...he has teammates.

As soon as she swept it away, goose bumps popped up.

She tried to stop Nan Zhou: "Don't go over—"

But it was too late.

Directly below where the puppet disappeared, a window was pushed open from the inside.

A young man about 25 or 6 years old, with his elbows pressed against the window frame, met the line of sight of Nan Zhou who was bending down.

He wears light brown sunglasses.

On the edge of the platinum mirror frame, the words "life and death" are engraved.

He pressed the metal nose pad with his index finger and slid slightly along the arc of the bridge of the nose, revealing his eyes.

...His eyes were of a strange color, as if they were intertwined with countless luminous puppet threads, with a slight sense of flow, evil and bright.

He smiled before saying anything: "Hi."

Compared with his tragic name, which makes people want to sing poems at first glance, his appearance is quite pretty.

Li Yinhang was in a hurry, and he didn't care to startle the snake, he said anxiously: "He has a teammate! His teammate is Xie Xiangyu!"

Li Yinhang knew little about Xie Xiangyu.

But not long ago, when Nan Zhou confessed his situation to her, he simply mentioned that when they passed [Sha, Sha, Sand] dungeon, there was a player named Xie who knew his identity.

Li Yinhang directly suspected that the cause of this game must be what Xie Xiangyu revealed.

Maybe it was his small report to the system.

Therefore, her ill feeling for him was at its peak.

...Yi Shuige is actually Xie Xiangyu's teammate?

What are the two of them thinking?

Nanzhou accepted it well.

He remembered that when he met Mr. Xie in the second world, he was still a lone ranger.

Therefore, he was more concerned about how Yi Shuige became Xie Xiangyu's teammate.

Hearing Li Yinhang's low cry, Yi Shuige didn't feel the slightest panic about his identity being exposed.

He put the brown sunglasses back on and said with a smile, "It's okay, I'll tie them up for you. Come in."

Li Yinhang: "..." Huh? !

When he turned over and jumped into the window silently, Nan Zhou saw Xie Xiangyu who was tied to the head of the bed at a glance.

His handsome and beautiful facial features could not conceal his pale complexion with a trace of watery red, and his eyes were full of displeasure and resentment.

Yi Shuige is wearing a black turtleneck sweater, with slender and healthy legs wrapped under jeans. It is a homely and clean outfit.

He walked up to Xie Xiangyu, whose hands were bound behind him and stared at the corner with his head tilted, patted his shoulder, and said to Nan Zhou: "Let me introduce, this is my teammate, Xie Xiangyu."

Nan Zhou took two steps inward, approached Xie Xiangyu, and greeted him strangely: "You actually have a teammate."

Xie Xiangyu clenched her snow-white teeth tightly, her chest heaving with anger.

Jiang Fang, who turned into the window and witnessed the strange scene, whistled softly.

Li Yinhang was dumbfounded.

……what's the situation?

"Is such that."

Yi Shuige said generously, "During a certain mission, he took the initiative to approach me and wanted my S-level props. He didn't know how he knew that I like men, so he took the initiative—"

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Xie Xiangyu was so angry that his eyes watered.

He slashed at Yi Shuige, and said coldly: "If you dare to say it, I will kill you."

Yi Shuige touched the tip of his nose: "You want to kill me even if I don't tell you."

But he didn't go any further.

Just as Xie Xiangyu breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Yi Shuige make a concluding statement: "Since you are asleep, you have to be responsible, right?"

... He almost died on the spot.

As soon as he met Yi Shuige, Jiang Fang, who knew countless people, judged that this person's character and thinking were different from ordinary people.

His face is strong, his actions are straightforward, but his thoughts are contrastingly delicate.

Jiang Fang asked, "Why do you want to help us?"

Yi Shuige lightly pointed at Xie Xiangyu behind him with his thumb: "I'm here for my teammates."

He said very bluntly: "He wanted to use this game of the system to plot against you, but I found out, so I tied him up to prevent him from doing bad things. By the way, I remind you all to be careful of him, he is very special Likes to make trouble."

Xie Xiangyu sat on the head of the bed, biting his pale lips so angrily that they turned bloody.

Yi Shuige stood with arms folded, and said with a smile: "...So, can we have a good chat now?"

After sitting down, Yi Shuige spoke lightly again.

"I've recognized you guys," he said.

Nanzhou: "When?"

"When the World Channel was first launched."

He looked at the "Cubic Ark" trio.

"Nanzhou, your name is very repetitive, but your appearance is very eye-catching. You can tell at a glance that you are very similar to the 'model' in the game. Or, it's not a model at all."

He turned to Jiang Fang again: "Jiang Fang, I remember you too."

"You were the only player who was still alive after the "Gravity" game went wrong and before the disappearance happened."

Hearing this, Nan Zhou immediately looked at Jiang Fang.

Jiang Fang calmed down a little, and gestured to him, meaning to listen to Yi Shuige first.

Yi Shuige looked at the third person: "Li Yinhang... I haven't heard of it."

Li Yinhang: "..." Thank you.

Yi Shuige: "After Li Yinhang spoke on the World Channel, I guess you probably captured the dungeon boss and want to make a deal with the system."

"After the matter was over, I went to Squirrel Town to observe you."

Nan Zhou let out a soft "ah".

After the transaction with the system came to an end, Nanzhou and the others took Nanjixing to play in the square of Squirrel Town.

Yi Shuige probably saw the Antarctic Star at that time.

...but how did he know that the South Pole Star could become bigger?

Jiang Fang asked, "What do we do to observe?"

Yi Shuige was straightforward: "This game has already brought enough chaos, I don't like people who further disrupt order and cause panic. Everyone is enjoying the game, but you have brought danger back. So, if you want to do Bad thing, I will kill you."

This too straightforward sentence stunned Li Yinhang.

Nan Zhou was not angry either: "This is not easy."

"I know." Yi Shuige said, "But working hard, I think it's okay to catch you off guard and take my life."

"However, you performed very well. I didn't do anything else. I just didn't expect your identities to be announced by the system."

"This time, it was the system that created the panic and chaos first, and I will not stand on their side."

Yi Shuige was still smiling when he said this, and shrugged his shoulders quite easily, as if he didn't feel that it was an offense to discuss killing him in front of the Lord.

Nan Zhou agreed: "You are right."

Nan Zhou glanced at Xie Xiangyu again: "So, for the same reason, you want to watch him and prevent him from doing bad things, so you became teammates with him?"

Xie Xiangyu's lips turned white when he was suddenly cueed, and he didn't speak as if he was dead.

Yi Shuige didn't shy away: "Not bad. Besides, his looks are also my favorite."

Nan Zhou was noncommittal: "...ah."

Yi Shuige: "Don't you think so? It's like an oleander blooming out of a trash can."

The silent Xie Xiangyu finally couldn't take it anymore: "—Get out!"
