Forces of Temptation

Banhang immediately caught the loophole in her words.

"You said that priest can transfer life force, you were transferred to Brother Guan by him, you were knocked out again, and after waking up, you returned to your own body... But why does he have to let you live?"

Banhang was so excited that he was trembling all over, and almost bit his tongue several times.

"Also, tell me, Brother Guan is... gone too, so where can he exchange his soul?"

Song Haining also held a short gun in his hand.

Hearing that Guan Junliang was "gone", her heart was burning with rage, she gritted her white teeth, her palms were hot and her fingertips were cold.

Her temperament has always been the most docile in the team.

Only when someone hurts her friend does she become a violent and vicious lion.

She was full of anger, and said sharply: "Brother Nan sent Brother Fang to the other side just now. During this time, there are only you and me in the church—"

Nan Zhou kindly reminded: "There is another one upstairs."

He still remembered the name of the man, the deacon who came to report, named Harris.

This is also the first person to break the barrier of cross-strait curses.

He interrupted suddenly, interrupting Song Haining's emotion that was rushing upwards along with the blood.

She lowered her bloodshot eyes to let the blood ebb, leaving room for her brain to think.

Ban Hang rightly pointed the crosshairs at Song Haining's head, and replied, "Brother Nan, don't worry, I've tied him up well, and I've searched him. He's clean, and he didn't bring anything with him."

Nan Zhou: "Oh."

After answering, he took a step back to the side, made room for the dispute between the two, and sat down on the lawn.

Banhang: "..."

He had guessed about Nan Zhou's various reactions, but he didn't expect this one.

"Please." Nan Zhou propped his elbows on his knees and said politely, "I won't interfere with you, if you come to a conclusion after arguing, then tell me. In short, whoever shoots someone, I'll collect the body for them."

Ban Hang and Song Haining: "..."

Simple and crude.

But this is indeed the most effective and fastest way to calm them down.

It is impossible for them to choose fire and tie without hesitation just because they have doubts about each other.

Banhang wiped his dry mouth, spit at the side where there was no saliva, lowered the muzzle of the gun slightly, and took the lead in giving in: "...Damn it."

And Song Haining, who returned to calmness from the dizziness and fear of waking up, also proposed the simplest way to prove his identity: "Ban Hang, tell me something we all know."

Ban Hang, who just passed a test, said proficiently: "You had a crush on the boss before."

Song Haining also exposed Ban Hang's scars mercilessly: "When you first passed the supernatural dungeon, your trousers were pulled off by that female ghost."

The two stared at each other for a while, put down their weapons at the same time, and said in unison: "Grass."

But even though it was barely confirmed that the other party hadn't been replaced, Song Haining remained a little vigilant: "Brother Nan, are you sure Keith won't read our memory when the body is transferred?"

Ban Hang rolled his eyes: "Please! Sister, if he can really read memories, can he fail in playing Guan Ge?!"

Seeing that the struggle had disappeared, Nan Zhou pointed to the shadow on the ground and told them what he had found.

Not surprisingly, the two were dumbfounded.

Nan Zhou's analysis: "Keith recruited the devil to change his friend's body, but now the time seems to have gone wrong..."

The priest and the duke, a man who has turned his back on his own Lord, chooses to join forces with the devil.

Another managed to disrupt the flow of time.

In a sense, the ones lingering in this church on the east coast are probably not "demons", but also cursed by God.

After understanding what Nan Zhou meant, Ban Hang gritted his teeth: "What is this? The curses of the two sides have begun to merge?"

It turned out that they had indeed been fooled by Keith's acting skills before.

Coupled with their lack of skills, there is really no way to divide their troops to guard the bridge, and the curse on both sides has been completely broken.

"But something is wrong." Song Haining questioned, "Time has stopped moving forward, but how can we still act?"

She gestured and said, "According to common sense, if there is a problem with the time, shouldn't we stay where we are?"

After finally calming down, Ban Hang began to feel agitated again.

He looked at Nan Zhou for help: "Then Brother Nan, what should we do now?"

Nan Zhou stood up and patted the grass clippings on his body: "Meet."

Banhang: "Going to the West Bank?"

"Yes." Nan Zhou said, "I don't worry about him being alone."

Immediately afterwards, he added a series of questions: "Also, if Keith is not among us, where can he go?"

"Floating like a ghost?"

"How long can he last like this?"

"He wants to exchange bodies with others, what are the conditions? Is it like physical contact with Hai Ning? How many seconds does it take?"

These questions have already made the two of them stiffen.

And Nan Zhou still has more questions that he didn't ask.

What the hell did the Duke of the West Bank do?

How will his actions affect the East Coast?

What kind of changes will the fusion of curses on both sides of the strait produce?

In any case, for them now, it is the best choice to act collectively and leave the land on the east bank.

Nan Zhou said: "Wait until I bring Junliang out. Hua Sisi can't be found anymore, and Junliang's body can't be lost..."

Song Haining wanted to open her mouth, but no sound came out.

Before he finished speaking, he seemed to have a feeling, and turned his head to look in the direction of the bridge.

Ban Hang looked back suddenly, and couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Qiao——"

……

In the direction of the suspension bridge, raging flames rose up, and black smoke soaring into the sky intertwined and climbed in the air, dancing like a dragon and a snake.

On the west bank of the suspension bridge, Jiang Fang stood with silver hair and an axe.

Behind him, there was another team member standing, his snow-white complexion was reflected by the soaring flames as if he was full of blood.

As a guinea pig, he was quite lucky.

After the operation on time travel was successful on Kan Bowen, he was just imprisoned, anxiously waiting for the final fate to come.

Until the sound of people panicking and going crazy came from outside the cell where he was imprisoned.

Until Jiang Fang knocked down the lock on the door that imprisoned him.

He asked Jiang Fang softly, "Are we...really going to burn the bridge?"

"When they see the bridge on fire, they will definitely come over as soon as possible. Even if the castle is on fire, it will not have such an effect. It is much faster than you used to deliver letters."

Jiang Fang gave him a dose of reassurance with a blank face: "Don't worry, the bridge didn't burn out so quickly."

Hearing this, the team members lowered their heads even lower.

... Jiang Fang had no need to set fire to the bridge.

It was his unwillingness to cross the bridge that forced Jiang Fang to do so.

The reason for the reluctance to cross the bridge is simple.

After listening to Jiang Fang's description of the possibility of "curse", he flinched.

He didn't want to believe that things would be as bad as Jiang Fang imagined.

But Jiang Fang's speculation did scare him.

According to Jiang Fang's original intention, he didn't want to tell the team members his vision about the result of this curse fusion.

But if he is allowed to pass by without knowing anything, he is very likely to become the variable that is used.

Sure enough, after listening to his description, the team members were shaken: "Am I going alone..."

After meeting his eyes, Jiang Fang had a certain look on his face: "Yes, if Nanzhou can't handle it, you will just die in vain if you go."

He breathed a sigh of relief, but at the end, he felt ashamed again.

He said nonchalantly, "Then what are Brother Nan and the others going to do?"

Jiang Fang: "If we can't get through, let him come over."

That's why he set fire to the bridge.

In order to find a reasonable excuse for his escape, he actively asked Zhan: "I... go back to the castle to see if there is anyone alive."

Jiang Fang looked at the opposite side with a cold expression: "Yes. Be careful."

The team member breathed a sigh of relief, held a gun, turned around and threw himself into the woods.

He tried to run to dispel the uneasiness in his heart, but his mind was full of the conversation Jiang Fang had just had with him.

That kind of palpitation lingers in my heart, which can never be erased.

"Brother Fang, what are you talking about...?"

"I said, the curse has begun to merge. You have also seen that the people in the castle went crazy, probably because they touched someone else's body. After a few seconds, the exchange of souls may be realized. Based on the cognition of these people, it is impossible. Knowing why this is, I just thought I had encountered a devil. This exchange of space was not a curse brought by the Duke’s behavior, but a curse brought by Keith on the east coast.”

"The Duke in the West Bank castle has the ability to travel through time. His mind is not limited by time and can travel to any point in time. Therefore, he has the authority to see the series of actions we have taken to deal with them."

Jiang Fang said: "...So, at any point in time when the Duke can get in touch with Keith, he can remind Keith in advance to prepare for our next actions."

"Keith controls space, while the Duke controls time. If you go to the other side, the other party will predict it; if you don't go there, the other party will also predict it."

Speaking of this, Jiang Fang stared at him: "I want you to go over and remind them to be careful of everyone around them and all possible touches."

"But even so, maybe Keith could have expected it."

Even though more than ten minutes had passed, the team members still remembered the mixed feeling of panic and shock in his heart when he heard Jiang Fang's analysis.

He didn't want to cross the bridge alone, to face such an unknown prospect.

When the team members were agitated and lost their minds, a crazy black figure suddenly jumped out from behind a tree and grabbed his ankle.

The soul in this body has passed through countless masters, but the body is already covered in bruises.

The team members were caught off guard by him, yelled, fell to the ground and kicked their legs like crazy.

Maybe a few seconds passed, maybe centuries passed, and he finally broke free from those iron-clamp hands.

The man was on his back, convulsing slightly, as if he was extremely weak.

But the team member's hands and feet were weak, and after crawling out a few steps hastily, he suddenly froze in place.

He seemed to understand why those people would go crazy just by changing their bodies.

And this was his last sober thought left in this world.

……

Regarding the Duke, Jiang Fang's thoughts were not wrong.

The Duke became a derailed train in the sequence of worlds on both banks.

Driving this car, he can freely shuttle in his own time and space.

He goes against all time in this world.

Mr. Duke does not hate this feeling, he has always been adventurous.

If there is no Keith, with his character, he would not have spared himself in this luxurious but monotonous castle.

All just to get closer to him, and get closer.

His body will perish because he has crossed too long a time dimension, but his spirit will last forever because of being cursed.

Sometimes he stretched this coordinate extremely long, so long that he could gently tap the tip of the ancient herbivorous dragon's tail with the tentacles of time.

The dragon stretching its neck to eat the leaves turned around, only to see the swaying grass leaves and the slight morning dew.

This is his own travel.

Of course, it is also a journey destined to be lonely.

He also knew what Keith was facing now.

Of course he will unconditionally go across the barrier of time to help his lover.

Jiang Fang took this into consideration.

But he failed to consider the chaos and mutations that would ensue when the curse that belonged to Keith spread in the form of a virus.

He just felt uneasy in general.

Standing on the shore, Jiang Fang put his hands into his pockets and grabbed the pair of handcuffs that were intended to lock Nan Zhou.

Come here quickly.

come to me.

……

Looking at the burning suspension bridge, Nanzhou made a decisive decision and made a choice: "Let's go over!"

...By the way, they can't forget to take Junliang's body.

However, before he turned around, a shadow suddenly cast directly on his back.

The heat source exclusive to the human body awakened Nanzhou's most primitive aggressiveness.

He turned around abruptly, grabbed the collar of the incoming man as quickly as possible, and neatly strangled the neck of the attacking person behind him.

But one second before the neck bone shattered, Nan Zhou could clearly see the face of the visitor.

However, the power has been released, and it is hard to get overwhelmed.

...It's Guan Junliang.

What was thrown in the air was Guan Junliang's enthusiastic body.

Guan Junliang's soul has already fallen into the abyss along with Hua Sisi's body, and now he is just a blank body.

But Nan Zhou could still clearly feel how his bones were broken by his hands.

Because he lost the support of his head, his body fell limply, and he knelt down in front of Nan Zhou.

... Such a gentle person died beyond recognition.

The face that had been smiling all the time was corroded by the holy water and riddled with holes.

And the one who threw Guan Junliang's body was actually "Song Haining" standing on the steps!

She grinned palely and looked at Nan Zhou like a ferocious ghost.

She has been hiding Guan Junliang's body in the warehouse!
