Forces of Temptation

[Nanzhou] hung his fingertips on the cleat, and tapped it twice cautiously.

He had no idea what was hidden in the box.

But no matter which world Nanzhou is in, its curiosity about everything is always the same.

slap-

A sharp abnormal sound made [Nanzhou]'s fingertips tremble.

Almost at the same moment, the lock buckle clicked, and a gap was opened.

The brass locking piece was folded upwards, and the lock head followed the other half of the broken locking piece, and fell silently onto the sofa.

...the box was opened.

With just one touch, the next new world will be displayed in front of [Southern Boat].

But the strange noise coming from the direction of the kitchen made him subconsciously turn his head to look at [Jiang Fang] before he lifted the lid of the box, and the movements in his hands froze accordingly.

[Jiang Fang] in the kitchen took a step back in surprise.

A stone came head-on and hit the kitchen glass.

The glass is maintained at a boundary that is about to crack. I don't know if the thrower's strength is insufficient, or it is too good.

The culprit did not turn around and run away, but stood boldly outside the courtyard.

The cracked lines spread out in a circular manner, covering the man's face just in time.

Under the cracks are a pair of perfectly smooth legs wrapped under black suit pants, from the hips to the ankles.

[Jiang Fang] Stared at those legs for a long time, until another pair of equally slender and beautiful legs approached from behind.

He glanced back at [Southern Boat], stretched out his hand and opened the cracked window.

Who would have thought that in just a blink of an eye, the person who smashed the glass would disappear.

Beyond the fence, there is only a blank space.

It would be fine if a naughty child did such a thing, but those legs were grown-up.

[Jiang Fang] frowned, thinking that those legs looked very familiar.

The town has never been visited by outsiders, so it should be people from the town.

But it never occurred to him that anyone in town would pull such a lame prank in broad daylight.

When he couldn't figure it out, [Jiang Fang] sighed, and wiped the water droplets on his fingers with a towel: "This town is getting weirder and weirder....One day, I have to take you away."

At this time, [Nan Zhou] had turned his back and walked towards the door.

"You've said it many times," he said to himself.

Every time, when other town residents including [Jiang Fang] tried to approach the outskirts of the town, they would forget their purpose of going out for various reasons.

So far, only Nan Zhou knows that they are locked in a prison.

The rest of the inhabitants are living in a beautiful fantasy, thinking that they are free.

【Southern Boat】has no intention of breaking their dreams.

Especially [Jiang Fang].

He lowered his voice so low that [Jiang Fang] couldn't hear clearly: "...Huh? What?"

[Nan Zhou] put on shoes at the entrance: "It's nothing. I'll go out and see who it is."

[Jiang Fang] didn't stop him either.

When the sound of closing the door sounded, [Jiang Fang] turned his back and checked the window that was cracked by the stone.

He said softly: "The glass is broken, it's quite troublesome to change it."

With a thought, a decision took shape in his mind: "Then I won't change it."

Might as well get his little neighbor out of this place today.

As soon as he had this crazy idea, the familiar humming sound came from his brain again.

He leaned forward, grasping the cold and hard edge of the counter with his fingertips, shaking his head slightly, trying to get rid of this dizziness.

As one of the NPCs set in the world, [Jiang Fang] has no right to know what kind of world this is.

But he instinctively hated the feeling of being dominated.

He also hates the back view of [Nan Zhou] every time he leaves.

He was... lonely.

After a while, the door creaked again.

[Jiang Fang] was fighting against that force with all his heart and soul, not wanting [Nan Zhou] to notice his strangeness, so he simply turned his back to him, and casually said, "You're back?"

A familiar voice came from behind: "Yes."

[Jiang Fang] No doubt there is him.

Because of this distraction, the memory of "leaving the town" in [Jiang Fang]'s mind was erased by the power of the world in an instant.

And Nan Zhou picked up the box that was placed on the sofa and had been unlocked.

...just a little bit.

Fortunately, he understood his curiosity and tried to lure [Nan Zhou] to leave temporarily, so that he had a short chance for Li Daitao to freeze.

As expected, the box is at [Jiang Fang]'s home...on the track of [Nanzhou]'s daily activities.

If the [Southern Zhou] of the second world really opened the box, who knows what will happen?

The most correct thing right now is to immediately lift the lid of the box and go to the next world to avoid long nights and dreams.

Seeing that the time to board the train was approaching, this sense of urgency of not knowing the way forward no longer allowed Nanzhou to think about it.

However, when he glimpsed [Jiang Fang] from the corner of his eye, his mind suddenly changed.

...As he said just now, no one knows what will happen after he "opens the box".

When he opened the box for the first time, he didn't even have a chance to look back because the teleportation came so suddenly.

So, he didn't know, after Pandora's box was opened, would everything be as usual in this world?

Just the redundant self and the redundant box disappearing out of thin air?

Or, after opening the box he found, everything in the original world will immediately collapse and be wiped out?

Nan Zhou knew that this was a game, and also knew that he wanted to achieve a certain purpose.

But he is also aware of the reality hidden behind the game.

Because he himself once lived in a game, he can empathize with the most common NPC.

Of course, Nanzhou will not give up the game because of this, and shrink back.

Nan Zhou's hesitation was just because he didn't want to see Jiang Fang, who was exactly like Jiang Fang, collapse and dissipate before his eyes.

After thinking about it, Nan Zhou planned to go out and open the box again.

At least not here.

However, as soon as he took a step, he heard a question from behind: "What do you want for lunch?"

Nan Zhou hugged the box and turned his head slightly.

He found that Jiang Fang was not looking at him, but half of the corner of his mouth was gently raised.

...he was also peeking at him out of the corner of his eye and smiling at it.

Nan Zhou seldom orders food, so he is naturally not as proficient as [Nan Zhou] in this world.

He had no choice but to follow his own habit and said, "I want to eat soufflé."

[Jiang Fang] wondered: "Huh? I remember that you don't like sweets the least."

Nanzhou: "..."

It turns out that the difference between the world and the world can also be reflected in the taste.

【Jiang Fang】had no doubts, walked over, hugged Nan Zhou who was the same as 【Nan Zhou】in terms of dress, appearance, height, and temperament, and gently rubbed his chin on his forehead twice: "Since you want to learn new skills, you have to charge some tuition fees."

Nan Zhou lowered his eyes and hummed.

After collecting the "tuition fee", Big Brother Jiang Fang patted him on the head as well.

In this box world, their relationship ends there.

Because 【Nan Zhou】had such a secret in his heart since he was a child, which caused a vague sense of alienation, they never took that most important step towards each other.

When [Jiang Fang] was walking towards the kitchen, Nan Zhou held the box, pushed open the door, and walked out as well.

He had no time to lose.

However, just as he took two steps outside the house, holding the box with his left hand and trying to lift the lid with his right hand, his hand was suddenly empty.

A hand came suddenly from the side and knocked the iron box away with precision.

The thrown box drew a long arc, and flew straight into the basement with an exit obliquely on the ground on the east side of the courtyard.

When Nan Zhou entered [Jiang Fang]'s house, he clearly remembered that the basement door was originally closed.

But now, it has opened its double doors to both sides, forming a "well mouth" for you to enter the urn.

Nan Zhou clearly saw that the lid of the box, which flew out of his hand and was not bound by the lock, was half opened in mid-air.

He never had time to save him.

In the next second, his collar was silently tightened by the same [Nanzhou], and he was pushed to take a few quick steps. The two fit together, followed the falling box, and fell into the basement together.

Nanzhou didn't struggle.

He looked over the shoulder of the raiding [Southern Zhou] and saw the sky split from the east.

Endless nothingness surged, like a wave of letters, and it swallowed up half of Neverland in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately, after the iron box fell into the basement, one corner hit the ground heavily, turned over several times, and closed again by accident.

The disintegration of the world stopped immediately, and the collapsed sky, like a Nuwa mending the sky, gave birth to blue sky, white clouds and scorching sun out of thin air.

This also verified Nanzhou's idea.

The moment the box is opened and the new world is ushered in, the old world will be completely destroyed.

The first world he came to, the original Neverland, has been reduced to nothing like this.

That is to say, if [Nan Zhou] in this world opened the box before him, it would be [Nan Zhou] who went to the next world.

And he will go to the land of nothingness with the second world.

While thinking, Nan Zhou's back and head fell hard to the concrete floor.

As the two jumped in together, the door of the basement was swiftly swiped by [Nanzhou], and with a bang, it was fastened from the inside and locked.

Nan Zhou knew very well what [Nan Zhou] wanted to do.

...He wanted to kill himself, the weird intruder, on the spot.

But he also refused to do so in front of Jiang Fang.

The basement was dug very deep, about three meters above the ground, and the length and width were reasonable. There were some old ladders, tool boxes, old bicycles and other sundries that were not usually used.

The outside light source has been lost, and the only thing that illuminates is a dim light bulb tied to the beam by a thin wire.

Best for killing here.

[Nan Zhou] I'm afraid he has already realized his purpose.

His departure was just a feint.

By leaving, he opened the basement door in the courtyard ahead of time, put down the ladder, and dug a trap. He didn't intend to rush into the house and confront Nanzhou face to face, so as not to endanger the safety of [Jiang Fang], and he was dedicated to guarding the house. Outside, wait for the creepy lookalike interloper to step out of the house unsuspectingly and fall into his trap.

At this extremely critical moment, Nanzhou did not have any emotional fluctuations.

In front of his eyes are all the reminder boxes that were accidentally revealed from the corner of nothingness when the sky shattered just now.

But before Nanzhou could see the content of the reply clearly, this comment disappeared into nothingness along with the patched sky.

Nan Zhou felt extremely incredible.
