Forces of Temptation

Li Yinhang obediently wrote down the question, looked around again, lowered his voice, and said quietly: "Mr. Nan, can you tell me what exactly did you see in the car?"

She never thought that Nan Zhou was malicious, but she also knew that Nan Zhou was definitely hiding something, and it must be a very important clue.

In addition, the information is incomplete, and she cannot make an accurate judgment.

After hearing Li Yinhang's question, Nan Zhou didn't speak, but patted Li Yinhang's shoulders in the thick fog.

Li Yinhang: "?"

In the second dungeon, Jiang Fang had dismantled the bug that Xie Xiangyu had installed on the trio, and smiled and handed it to him, letting him crush it.

Now, he also found a bug the size of a grain of rice from the folds of Li Yinhang's shoulder.

Li Yinhang's question was unintentional, but the person who encouraged her to come to him was intentional.

He brought the bug to his lips: "Think for yourself. Come to me with questions. She is, and so are you."

Li Yinhang: "..."

Yuan Mingqing on the bug side: "..."

... Is this the unified speech of the teachers all over the world?

The air quality outside is really worrying.

It's just that after talking with Nan Zhou for a while, Li Yinhang felt out of breath.

She tried to persuade Nanzhou to board the train again but failed, so she had to go up first.

The mist outside the window has reached a certain degree of saturation and is no longer thickening.

The fog that was supposed to be faint now has instead become the richest background color in this small station world, as if a huge, snow-white ghost is blocking the world between the sky and the earth.

Only Nanzhou was left, dressed in black, soaked in the fog.

Through the window, he can be seen sitting there quietly and stubbornly, like a drop of ink dripping into white water.

Also like the beating heart of a ghost.

Left and right were just waiting, with nothing else to do, Li Yinhang simply thought about the after-school thinking questions that Teacher Nan had left for her.

A time trap...?

She opened her notebook and started taking notes.

Four people have passed the level now.

According to the analysis of each person's different experience, there is not much information that can be used for analysis.

As stated in the contract, if you want to pass the customs, you need to exchange your false "death" in the dungeon world for the "life" in the station world.

Nan Zhou's breaking point was that he found that there was an extra memory in his memory that shouldn't exist.

Yuan Mingqing's breaking point was after he cleared the level with all his strength, he found that the dungeon time was too long and the difficulty factor was too low.

Chen Sufeng wants to make every choice well, and not blindly believe in choices.You must take the initiative to use the power of evil gods in the dungeon to sacrifice yourself in exchange for salvation.

I am willing to stand in front of the exhausted Nanjixing and sacrifice for my friends.

After recording all these points in his notebook, Li Yinhang began to bite his pen in a daze.

In addition to sharing the theme of "ants", is there any subtle connection between these copy games?

Among these breaking points, the only one related to time is the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.

She seriously circled Yuan Mingqing's name.

As if solemnly writing a solution at the beginning of a blank math problem.

Then she stuck again smoothly.

Noticing that his train of thought was stalled again, Li Yinhang started from scratch, trying to list the game features of the dungeon one by one.

She was connecting lines and looking for common ground, forcibly drawing the mind map into a mess.

Scratch paper is full, her mind is empty.

... No, start over.

Li Yinhang opened another page, pondered calmly, and repeatedly reviewed in his mind the teacher's reminder to "pay attention to reviewing questions" when he was a student.

A time trap...?

Her eyes lit up, and she quickly listed the game clearance time and actual clearance time stipulated by everyone.

Arithmetic sequence, arithmetic sequence... Li Yinhang turned these numbers upside down, making his calculations difficult, but he still couldn't find any rules.

She put the pen between the tip of her nose and her pouted mouth, while remembering to do the questions, while still thinking about Jiang Fang who had never returned, she couldn't settle down no matter what.

Nan Jixing noticed her distress and put down the melon seeds: "What are you thinking?"

Li Yinhang showed Nanjixing his messy picture.

Nan Jixing carefully coiled his logic to the ball of wool.

"Playing with mystery." Yuan Mingqing didn't even hold out hope for Li Yinhang, let alone Nanjixing's rat brain, "Why didn't he say anything about what he really saw?"

Nan Jixing was noncommittal: "He sure has a reason."

Yuan Mingqing: "What's the reason? It's all about selfishness."

Nan Jixing had been talking with Li Yinhang for a long time, and finally he became more proficient in speaking human language.

He pondered for a moment in his mind, and finally came up with a complete sentence: "Since he refuses to say it, then he has a reason why you won't believe it."

Yuan Mingqing sneered: "Then why did he ... see this reason?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Yinhang felt a tingling sensation in the back of Li Yinhang's spine, like an electric current.

She blurted out: "Yeah, why did you let him see it?!"

The moment he blurted out, Yuan Mingqing also sensed a certain possibility, and his body trembled.

Chen Sufeng hadn't had time to listen to the dungeon stories of the three of them, but he had a preliminary understanding of the types of games they played, so of course he was at a loss at this time: "What's going on?"

Li Yinhang turned over all the previous papers and opened a new page.

Because of her agitation, her handwriting trembled faintly when she wrote.

"Teacher Nan's copy is the strangest copy among us."

Li Yinhang said: "He needs to travel through the three box worlds. His only way to pass the level is to guess 'he is not himself'. But this is too difficult. He can't control one of the other two worlds well, will be killed by the original protagonist of each box, besides, who would doubt their own memory?"

She pointed at the word "Nanzhou" with the tip of her pen.

"So, the high-dimensional people gave him a hint."

Yuan Mingqing reluctantly participated in the discussion, and added: "...after he finds and opens every box that can be cleared, the new world is reorganized and the old world is broken. At this time, some game reviews will pop up in the sky. This Remind him that the world he lives in may be different from the outside world."

Chen Sufeng frowned: "I didn't have such a reminder."

Li Yinhang: "Neither of us."

"Our customs clearance actually involved more or less gambling, but for Mr. Nan's level, the game character 'Nan Zhou' must be awakened first, and this 'game character' can judge whether he wants to get out of the game... "

Hearing this, Chen Sufeng shivered.

That is to say, the fate of Nanzhou will be completely determined by the game character "Nanzhou" for a period of time.

And he can't do anything.

It's creepy just thinking about it.

"Then, Mr. Nan's game will have two directions."

Starting from the name of "Southern Zhou", Li Yinhang drew two lines.

"First, this game character refuses to leave the game and continues to live in the game world. Then, Teacher Nan's game has completely failed."

"Second... He came back successfully, and he was the first one to come back."

Nanjixing made a more understandable summary: "Either don't come back, or come back at the earliest."

"Not necessarily." Chen Sufeng only knew the general game form and time of the three of them, and speculated, "Brother Nanzhou and Yuan Mingqing's game completion time is not backward and forward? If Yuan Mingqing is faster..."

Yuan Mingqing gritted his teeth: "It can't be faster. I tried my best in this level."

Although the game requires him to complete the game within 24 hours, Yuan Mingqing knows that a quick decision is the best strategy.

If you stretch the battle line too long, not only the enemy will be paralyzed, but you may also be paralyzed.

And his game is still a tailwind.

In addition, this was the last round that was related to his future. Yuan Mingqing racked his brains, listened to all directions, and relied on his excellent state to charge all the way to achieve his current results.

In another round, he can't guarantee that his time will be shorter than it is now.

In other words, the game time of nearly 13 hours is the best record that Yuan, Ming and Qing can achieve based on various conditions.

If he could win, he must have followed Nanzhou and returned to the station second.

"Next is me."

Li Yinhang wrote his name: "My ranch battle game is a game that I thought I could play a dozen at the beginning, but the more I played, the more difficult it became. Not only does it require early financial support, it also depends on absolute luck. "

"I don't believe in luck very much. So I will definitely spend a lot of time fighting low-level monsters so that I can accumulate more points."

"When I start thinking about 'sacrificing myself', the game must be in the middle and late stages, and Nanji Star must be at the end of its battle. So, in the game, I will have three possibilities."

She drew three extended lines after her name.

"First, I failed to complete the mission and died in the game with Nanjixing."

"Second, I realized that it took too long to pass the level by 'sacrificing myself'. When I came back, some of you had already driven the only train away."

"Third, I came back smoothly, but it must have taken a lot of time."

Li Yinhang looked at Chen Sufeng: "Fortunately, I'm lucky to be the third one to come back."

Chen Sufeng crossed his arms, turned his head and thought about his copy, the more he thought about it, the more weird and inexplicable it became.

His game requirement is that he must "survive" for 16 hours.

Then his first priority is of course to live, the longer the better.

Correspondingly, the better he performs in the copy, the later he will return to the station.

He was able to come back alive, which can almost be regarded as a fluke from the front line of life and death.

It also took him nearly 15 hours, making him the fourth player to return to the station.

"One of the time traps Teacher Nan mentioned may be referring to this." Li Yinhang said, "The time sequence of our return to the station can actually be calculated."

She drew a "1" heavily on the paper.

This is the first time trap.

The station itself is a brand new copy for them.

This is a nested copy.

"Back to the station" is not the end of the dungeon, but represents the opening and re-timing of another dungeon.

"Can Gaowei people predict whether we will pass or not?" Chen Sufeng was surprised, "If Nanzhou never came back from the first world, wouldn't it be—"

His voice came to an abrupt end.

Chen Sufeng is not stupid.

Having said that, he also discovered the problem.

"It's a good thing for the Gaowei people if Mr. Nan doesn't come back. His failure in the game means that Brother Fang also lost in advance." Li Yinhang smiled wryly and said, "Brother Fang cannot leave Teacher Nan alone. .As for whether we live or not, it doesn't matter to them."

She didn't know that Jiang Fang had made a wish to reunite with Nan Zhou in the same life form forever.

The wishful thinking of the Gaowei people naturally falls on the two of them.

They lost, and more than half of the "Cube Ark" collapsed.

Yuan Mingqing raised his eyebrows: "Even if the order of our return can be predicted in advance, so what?"

Li Yinhang: "Mr. Nan must have seen something on the first train. That is the second time trap, and it is also the answer to your question."

"Since our time can be calculated, then in the timetable planned by the Gaowei people, Mr. Nan and Brother Fang must be the most extreme end and end, so as to restrain the two of them from each other."

"Besides, Teacher Nan said just now..."

Li Yinhang was silent for a moment.

Just now, before Nan Zhou assigned her homework, he once said to himself: "There are still several hours before we can meet."

He was referring to the meeting time with Jiang Fang.

It was obviously less than 2 hours before the departure, why did he use the expression "several hours"?

Did he predict that Jiang Fang would miss the train?

In other words, this is not set by Gaowei people, but the third time trap set by Nanzhou for her.

If he couldn't catch the train, would he choose to stay and wait for Jiang Fang?

Does he want to prepare himself mentally in advance?

These all need the truth about the second time trap to answer.

Thinking of this, Li Yinhang had a sore nose, took a deep breath, held his notebook, rushed from the train into the fog, and walked quickly all the way to Nan Zhou.

She said firmly and seriously: "Mr. Nan, I'm here to hand in my homework."

"Time trap, there are 3 in total."

"Can you please tell me, what is the second time trap?"
