Forces of Temptation

In a word, the endless silence was accompanied by the strong air-conditioning that shuttled through the casino, spreading over a large area.

Within the "Douzhuan", the man-made light is like a small galaxy spread out in the sky, but no matter how strong the light is, it can only be confined in this small world, and it cannot penetrate the part that separates the inside and outside of "Douzhuan" black sash.

Even the onlookers were overwhelmed by the oppressive feeling, they didn't say a word, even the rhythm and strength of their breathing were relaxed as much as possible.

At this time, an NPC kitten walked past the eaves and crushed a small channel of air-conditioning water.

It doesn't know what's going to happen in the small world separated from it by a window, it just bends down and drinks the puddle of moon that belongs to it.

And when everyone stood silently, Yuan Mingqing had an answer in his heart:

It's a win.

As a high-dimensional person, he is too aware of the choices his own kind is about to make.

Jiang Zhengping picked up the Ace of Hearts that had hit him in the face, and placed it on a corner of the gaming table.

He tried his best to maintain the last bit of decency, and said softly: "We don't gamble, and you have no way to force us."

But no matter how softly the voice was played, he could hear an unbearable tremor from it.

He tried his best to make a swallowing movement with his Adam's apple, trying to make his enunciation clear: "We are 'Like a Dream', hand over the last 9 points, and then... admit defeat to 'Cubic Ark'."

They ignored the angry voices coming from the communicator.

The high-level affairs are left to the high-level to solve.

The fact is that Jiang Fang's move completely smashed their hearts and broke their minds.

They can continue to gamble, they can send Dai Xuelin to his death, and they can let newcomers replace him.

But even so, Dai Xuebin is still there.

Although the two brothers were noisy, they were still brothers.

When internal strife started, when they were no longer monolithic, sooner or later, like Dai Xuelin, they would lose to the point where they had no choice but to sell their limbs and hearts.

They can save the game, but they can never die for a game.

Jiang Fang stared at the Ace of Hearts, put down the two decks of cards in his hand, and slowly got up.

The indifference and threat on his face just now were swept away by a sudden spring breeze, as if that expression had never appeared on his face.

"Congratulations." Jiang Fang put his hands on his chest, and bowed lightly to the four opponents in front of him who had just been hit by poker in the face, "...you know how the gambling is over."

All gambling can only end if you are willing to stop the loss.

As soon as the words were finished, a cold mechanical sound was transmitted to the ears of all players.

... the voice sounds rather unwilling.

[Congratulations to "Cubic Ark", "Cubic Ark" won the overtime match because the points of "Rumeng" were cleared]

[Congratulations to "Cubic Ark" for becoming the first player team in the global server to surpass the benchmark team and successfully reach the top]

["Cubic Ark" will be able to choose to enter the final level at any time to meet the ultimate challenge and obtain the qualification for wishing]

[Please wait and see, players]

After reading out the words "wait and see" without any excitement, the broadcast cut off decisively with a snap.

For example, with one more second of broadcasting, the announcer over there can show them a scene of mad death on the spot.

Jiang Zhengping and Wen Jiasheng still knew how to save face, so they slumped their shoulders and cringed, so as to avoid every mocking, indifferent, or disappointed gaze from the cameras surrounding them in all directions.

However, the sound fell into the ears of the Dai brothers, and it was like hearing the sound of heaven, sweeping away the lead-like substance poured into their limbs and bones.

Their nightmare is over!

Being able to walk out of the game with all hands and feet is already the best thing for them.

Go fucking win or not, let those who point fingers worry about the outcome of the game.

……

In the world channel, compared with the loud voices of people who received a large-scale broadcast notification in the past, this time, after receiving the notification for a long period of time, the channel was silent.

Everyone is trying to digest this message.

What if the "Cubic Ark" loses at the so-called "final level"?

What will happen then?

Is it a restart of the game, a new round of competition for the "global players" to reach the top, or... the human side just loses?

For these players, the attitude towards the "Cubic Ark", whether it is trust or loathing, their only hope now is only them.

They do need enough time to organize their thoughts.

For "Cubic Ark", this sudden news quickly offset the joy of defeating "Rumeng".

Before Li Yinhang could be happy, a basin of cold water was splashed on her head, extinguishing her happiness.

... Good guy, the co-authoring is not over yet?

It's overtime again, and it's the "final level". Will there be an [additional level] then?

Yi Shuige completed the task and retired.

He clasped his palms together and clapped lightly: "Very good, a quick fix. He will probably still be sleeping when we get back."

After saying goodbye to a few people, he came briskly and left briskly, as if he didn't come to witness any big event that determined the direction of the game, nor did he dismantle a conspiracy of the game side, but simply came to the casino Just a trip, just a trip.

The four who had spent three days burning all their points in the golden cave chose to leave the casino in embarrassment and silence.

What they care most about is the decency and dignity of high-dimensional people facing "low-dimensional people", and they also lost completely in the game, leaving nothing.

At this point, the hastily put together "like a dream" team scattered in response, each hidden in the boundless neon lights of "paper gold".

They cannot protect themselves, let alone manage a human being who is also difficult to protect themselves.

Qu Jinsha, who had chosen to watch quietly since just now, finally stretched his eyebrows and let out a pleasant belch, which smelled of good money.

Starting today, the "Dou Zhuan" empire that swallowed countless lives and points collapsed.

The so-called casino needs sufficient funds to support it in order to operate.

The contract he signed was also based on the fact that he must have a certain amount of points, and the right to operate the casino belonged to him.

Now that he has lost nothing, he is also happy.

He took out only half a bottle of love wine left, and was thinking about splitting two glasses, but he drank it all up, when he saw an empty glass stretched out in front of him, shaking it as a signal.

...It's good, save me from entanglement.

Qu Jinsha poured half a glass for himself and half for Jiang Fang.

Ding.

The two clinked glasses, and the wine stirred up small, beautiful ripples in the glasses.

There seemed to be endless regret in Qu Jinsha's voice: "What a wonderful wine, I will never drink it again."

Jiang Fang's response was to put a gambling board with 100 red chips on the side of the bar and push it towards him.

A full 10000 points.

Jiang Fang took a sip of wine, looked straight ahead, and said, "After 12 o'clock, with the loose change in your coin pusher, at least you can pay off today's venue fee."

Qu Jinsha did some calculations in his head, and answered, "Almost."

Jiang Fang pursed his lips and smiled: "Okay, then let's go. Hide, hide carefully. After all, after this piece of land is taken back, you will have no place to hide. There should never be a shortage of people who want to kill you. "

Qu Jinsha didn't pretend to be polite or refuse, but directly pulled the gambling table in front of him: "Thank you."

Jiang Fang waved his hand.

Qu Jinsha looked around at the splendor that would soon have nothing to do with him, and sighed: "I spent half my life in 'Dou Zhuan', and it's gone."

Jiang Fang glanced lightly at him.

He did use his heart and soul, but it was also poured with other people's blood.

It's just that Jiang Fang had no intention of preaching to Qu Jinsha, so he made a joke instead: "If Boss Qu wants more points, I can't give them to you. We don't know if we can use them yet."

"No, no. This is the end of my game, yours is not over yet." Qu Jinsha stared at the side curve of his handsome cheek, "Be careful, don't die."

Jiang Fang's answer was to take a sip of wine, and he didn't know if he listened or not.

Qu Jinsha knew that maybe if they said goodbye today, in the future, regardless of life or death, success or failure, they might never have the chance to meet again.

Taking advantage of his alcohol and full of curiosity, he leaned over: "Hey, have you thought about it, what wish do you want to make?"

Jiang Fang hooked his fingers at him.

Qu Jinsha listened to the past.

Jiang Fang lowered his voice: "...I can't tell you."

Qu Jinsha was startled, and then laughed heartily, so full of energy that the ceiling buzzed.

After laughing, he wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes: "Then can I ask you another question?"

Jiang Fang sipped the last sip of wine, turned back, and was ready to return to Nanzhou: "You ask."

Qu Jinsha looked at him and asked, "How can a person like you allow yourself to fall in love with someone who will never have any results with you?"

The smile on the corner of Jiang Fang's mouth lowered slightly.

Half of his body is facing Qu Jinsha, and half of his body is facing Nanzhou.

He lowered his eyes: "Because..."

Following Jiang Fang's answer, Qu Jinsha's eyes widened in surprise.

……

The movement made by Qu Jinso caused Nan Zhou to look at them several times.

Yuan Mingqing exchanged chips for points, while Chen Sufeng stood behind them with his hands tied, very obedient.

Li Yinhang was asking him where he lived these days, and skillfully avoided all questions about Yu Tuisi.

Nan Jixing finally woke up. When Dameng first woke up, he yawned big while holding Li Yinhang's ball head, and met Shao Mingzhe's eyes not far away.

Having met Shao Mingzhe's eyes so closely, it tilted its head curiously, as if trying to remember something.

But apparently to no avail.

It hopped twice, squatted on Nan Zhou's shoulder, and stepped on Nan Zhou's collarbone with two thin claws, as if stepping on milk, wanting to beg for food.

Nan Zhou crushed the biscuits and just fed it a couple of mouthfuls when Jiang Fang finished his conversation with Qu Jinsha and walked towards them.

Nan Zhou also took a few steps towards him, but unexpectedly received a full hug.

Nan Zhou who was held in Jiang Fang's arms: "?"

After being dazed for a while, he didn't ask why, but stretched out his arms, and responded to the hug calmly and firmly.

After his arm relaxed, Nan Zhou asked, "Have you finished talking with Boss Qu?"

Jiang Fang nodded, hooked his shoulders, and greeted everyone: "Let's go, let's find a place to rest for a while, and then we will decide when to start our last level."

……

Looking at the group of people walking side by side and stepping out of the "Douzhuan", Qu Jinsha picked out his ears.

...Jiang Fang's sentence "I died once", maybe he was drunk and misunderstood.

The bell at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night rang loudly on the streets of "Paper Gold".

Facing the empty casino, Qu Jinsha shuddered. Immediately, he put down his wine glass, stood up, and calmly became the fat man who had nothing when he first came here.

The end of "Douzhuan" came quietly in the nightlife that was about to reach the boiling point.

There was a snap.

The glow that once bustlingly illuminated half the street, like an asteroid that had burned to the end, went out.
