Forces of Temptation

After making a heavy oath, the director rejoiced while making emergency dispatches.

Fortunately, in order to ensure that everyone in the "Cubic Ark" returns to the station in order, the high-dimensional people specially reserved a buffer zone for them, so as to clarify the specific time for everyone to leave the copy.

Before Jiang Fang opened his eyes, his ears were surrounded by harsh sirens.

He pressed his ear with one hand, frowned, glanced at the contract in his hand, and understood what happened as quickly as possible.

Ah, it turns out that "Ant Nest Maze" is just a game in the dungeon.

But since he has passed the customs, why does he still stay in such an old-fashioned station?

Isn't it good to send yourself out?

Jiang Fang judged as quickly as possible that this place was most likely another copy.

The sharp radio sound is mixed with the electric sound of beeping, beeping, piercing the eardrum like a needle:

"Warning, warning, player Jiang Fang passed the dungeon in an illegal way, and there will be an overtime penalty—"

"If you violate the regulations, you will violate the regulations." Jiang Fang looked up at the broadcaster, rolled up the contract book in his hand, and threw it at the sound outlet, "What is it called?"

The director looked at the video sent back from the station in real time, and he was superficial on the surface, but he was extremely anxious in his heart.

Jiang Fang's early return was an absolute surprise.

Therefore, His remedy must not only take into account the logic of the copy, allowing the plot to advance according to their predetermined track, but also take care of the audience's perception.

"Overtime" is a compromise.

In the end game, "Cubic Ark" and Gaowei people signed two contracts.

The first contract is the real [Ant Train].

The content of the contract is also a story related to ants.

There are five little ants who have completed the task and want to go home.

After leaving the nest, they will secrete pheromones to mark the way home for themselves.

Unfortunately, in a thick fog, the dew from the sky washed away the smell of pheromone, leaving only a faint trace.

But diluted pheromones can be deceiving.

Ants have to make decisions based on the remnants.

Which is the right way home?

Is home at your feet or far away?

God has pity on them and has pity on their desire to go home, so the ants have three chances of trial and error.

But God is also fair.

Every time they restart, they will lose the memory of the last time.

Each time, one of the ants also gets a little hint.

They need a little trust, and a little luck.

In this way, the real ant train can start to carry them to their hometown.

The director specially instructed to make the content of the first contract vague.

This leaves them with the opportunity to operate in the dark and hold the final right of interpretation.

Because this is the last task, Nanzhou and the others had to sign this contract.

At that time, Li Yinhang was still complaining, isn’t this the same as those mobile games, if you don’t authorize the private information in your phone to the game party, they will politely kick you out and refuse to play.

But Gaowei people's personality is obviously beyond Li Yinhang's imagination.

After signing the contract, they did not come to the station, but entered a cramped waiting room.

... There is a second contract in front of him.

Because there is such a clause in the first contract:

"Every time they restart, they will lose the memory of the last time."

This is the "restart" that replicas define for them.

After their memory of signing the first contract was erased, they signed the second contract right after.

The five little ants were thus separated and went to complete their tasks.

Now that Jiang Fang has gone off the rails, he must combine the contents of the two contracts to remedy it.

Fortunately, Jiang Fang did violate the rules in his personal copy.

——Of course, if Jiang Fang did not violate the rules and followed the rules to complete the dungeon, even if Jiang Fang could come back, he would definitely be the last one.

The so-called "overtime game" is to let Jiang Fang use the station as a stage to play an additional round of new games. ——SRPG game, that is, simulation role-playing game.

Jiang Fang is going to play a misfit ant.

His appearance, voice, height will be modified.

He wants to perfectly play the role of a train conductor who guides everyone to board the train, a dutiful human clock.

The puppet silk thread will guide him to make actions that are in line with the human design.

For example, he can only answer one specific question at a time. For example, every time he tells the time, he has to ask "whether to board the car" ten times.

As time goes by, the puppet silk thread will gradually loosen its control over him, but silk thread will still do things like start and drive the train.

The absolute requirement for Jiang Fang in this role-playing game is that he must not be disfigured from the beginning to the end, and he must not do anything that is not in line with his identity.

This is punishment in the form of games.

There are only two ways to lift Jiang Fang's identity curse.

First, after the train leaves the station and starts running smoothly, his curse will be lifted automatically.

Second, someone could recognize him and call out his name.

This is also a role that the director has painstakingly tailored for Jiang Fang.

First of all, the appearance of a "flight attendant" NPC in the station is definitely not a violation.

Secondly, if Jiang Fang deliberately disclosed information to Nanzhou, even if it was a small action, the Gaowei people would have a reasonable reason to strangle him immediately on the grounds of "destroying people".

Thirdly, the "steward" played by Jiang Fang is extremely weird and inhuman.

He will only be suspected and feared by Nan Zhou and the others, and will never be trusted, and no one will think that this puppet-like person is Jiang Fang.

If he frequently appeared in front of Nan Zhou and the others, used all his treasures, and acted strangely, trying to remind Nan Zhou of his identity, presumably Nan Zhou would be suspicious of this behavior before realizing his "good intentions". The NPC spawns murderous intent.

The scene of Nan Zhou slashing the river boat must be extremely exciting.

After carefully listening to all the tasks, Jiang Fang did not go to accept the task, but drew out his dagger, and cut twice on the dusty stone floor.

...Of course, a series of warning sounds of "ban ooc" were received.

Any attempt to leave clues is "inappropriate."

After arranging all this, the director breathed a sigh of relief, let his spirit sink into a comfortable wave, and gave a round of massage to the tense nerves.

In his opinion, Nanzhou and the others are doomed.

Jiang Fang was also gradually wrapped into a cocoon by the transparent puppet silk thread.

Before he lost his voice, the director clearly heard him talking to himself in the air: "Do you think he won't recognize me?"

The director was taken aback.

Immediately, he realized that Jiang Fang was speaking to the manipulator behind the scenes, that is, himself.

The director faced the camera and responded with a mocking sneer: "...will he?"

Jiang Fang had already arrived at his place.

When the other four completed their respective tasks one after another, the director snorted in half surprise and half displeasure.

Good luck.

All five were alive.

But next, is the most exciting part.

The stagnant clock of fate begins to turn.

The person who was supposed to be the last to arrive was waiting on the platform early.

Nan Zhou woke up from a dream, holding a paper contract, sitting on the waiting chair at the station, staring blankly ahead, not making a sound.

Jiang Fang looked at the figure sitting on the platform through the dense silk thread, and smiled slightly.

He walked in front of Nan Zhou with a step that his six relatives did not recognize, covered them with the shadow of his tall body, and asked in a hoarse and strange tone: "Hello. Do you want to get in the car?"

——Hello, my little paper man.

Nan Zhou didn't recognize him.

But the subsequent development of the story also disappointed the director.

Jiang Fang fulfilled his duties, did not do any unnecessary actions, and did not say a single unnecessary word.

...as if they had seen through their eagerness to make him break the rules.

In the first round, since there was nothing unusual on the train, everyone was waiting with peace of mind, only Nanzhou remained in the thick fog.

He walked around, touched and looked around, smashed the window into the newsstand to check for clues, and took a magazine with him.

Jiang Fang heard Li Yinhang persuade him to get in the car.

His answer: "I'll wait."

It is self-evident who he is waiting for.

Nan Zhou wanted to be able to see him directly as soon as he came back.

Realizing this, Jiang Fang's heart was sweet as hell.

But as time passed, the person Nanzhou was waiting for never came back.

Yuan Mingqing began to urge him to board the car.

Nan Zhou had only one answer: "I'll wait."

Jiang Fang, who had a panoramic view of all this, sighed softly.

Kill someone, baby.

Jiang Fang had vaguely guessed that this train was not the right choice, it was right to stay on the platform.

Otherwise, why did people in Gaowei take the extra effort to design a station and act as a train conductor?

Is the sense of ceremony so strong?

Anyway, they had already come here, and Yuan Mingqing was useless, so he simply killed Liwei with a knife, and let him not rush to start the car, so that Li Yinhang and Chen Sufeng would not dare to act rashly.

After such strong persuasion, they will also "voluntarily" stay.

It's a pity that his family's little paper figurine has a very good personality, and he doesn't want to let Jiang Fang drag others down just because he wants to wait for Jiang Fang to leave.

Jiang Fang still couldn't say a word.

He always felt that this dungeon was weird inside and out.

Can a copy that has no clues so far be called a copy?

What's the point of his "train conductor" role?

After he drove tens of kilometers away from the station, his dusty memories gradually opened up, and Jiang Fang also recalled the content of the first contract.

……what.

No wonder there are no clues.

It turned out to rely on reincarnation.

At this moment, all the silk threads binding Jiang Fang disappeared without a trace.

He stood up, opened the door, and left the cab that had entered automatic driving mode. He walked through the No. 1 compartment where convenience fans and empty plastic water bottles were thrown. When he walked to the No. 2 compartment, he took out the blue Ballpoint pen, and the number "4" was written on the boarding slip held between the blue plastic panels.

Immediately, he casually discarded the ballpoint pen to the corner of the carriage, and walked towards the No. 3 carriage.

In this way, he met three bewildered faces.

Ignoring everyone's ignorance at his sudden appearance here, Jiang Fang asked straightforwardly, "Have you remembered?"

"Why are you—" Li Yinhang suddenly came to his senses, and immediately became anxious, "Teacher Nan and Nan Jixing didn't get in the car! He was waiting for you! Why—"

Jiang Fang didn't answer.

Holding a glimmer of hope, Li Yinhang asked, "Can the train turn around?"

Jiang Fang shook his head.

Before coming, he had already done experiments.

Every part of this old-fashioned train seemed to be rusted, and he couldn't control it at all.

Yuan Mingqing didn't care much about the life and death of Nan Zhou who stayed at the station.

He said in a relaxed tone: "We have already come out, so we have completed the task."

Jiang Fang still did not answer.

He inspected the melon seeds and magazines in the carriage: "Let's go to carriage No. 4 to chat."

...don't mess it up here.

Others, of course, obeyed his arrangements.

After everyone entered the No. 4 compartment, Jiang Fang closed the door of the compartment connecting No. 3 and No. 4, and said straight to the point: "We are going to turn around and go back to pick up the Nanzhou boat."

At this moment, Jiang Fang had guessed what an "ant pheromone" was.

The traces they left in this round of reincarnation will become clues to guide the next round of "they" to discover the truth.

Li Yinhang happily said: "Okay. How do we go back?"

Jiang Fang bit off the conductor's white gloves, held the tip of the glove in his mouth, and folded up the sleeves of the uniform, revealing the beautiful small wrist bones.

He moved his finger bones and said with a crackling sound, "Just go back like this."

Sensing a trace of murderous intent in the air, Yuan Mingqing's originally Shangjia expression suddenly changed: "...Jiang Fang, what do you want to do?"

"Everyone cooperate." Jiang Fang stuffed his gloves into his pocket, facing the three of them, and said politely, "Please try to die as miserable as possible."
