Forces of Temptation

Saturday.

They entered the 47th hour of the dungeon.

Although both Nan Zhou and Jiang Fang believe that the paradoxical nature of this force itself determines that it will not leave its source in the real world.But Li Yinhang was still a little worried.

She used Jinjing University to add various keywords, and searched the browser for abnormal deaths that occurred in the school in the past ten years.

She also went to the library and lingered all afternoon in the newspaper and magazine section.

But on the whole, there were more than a dozen suicides that caused the most trouble.

Because of love, because of graduation, because of family conflicts.

Everything has nothing to do with 403.

Even the most publicized suicide by jumping off the administrative building is half a school span away from classroom 403.

They would not even choose the East Fifth Floor, which has an extremely low utilization rate, as the place to commit suicide.

And the nine people who were selected were indeed ordinary college students.

Among them, the "Sports Trio" with the most questionable character and good at bullying is also aimed at "Xie Xiangyu" who is peeping at the girls' dormitory.

Others didn't even have a record of cheating at the end of the term or staying out at night.

Xuesu Li Yinhang diligently took eight pages of notes before finally admitting that Xueba's conclusion was correct.

All the incidents related to Jinjing University that had endangered personal safety had nothing to do with the rustling they encountered now.

Nan Zhou also came to the library, picking books from the bookshelf diagonally behind Li Yinhang.

He poked his head out from among the books and saw Li Yinhang scratching his hair while taking notes, so he shrank back.

He said to Jiang Fang beside him, "She is doing useless work."

The ghosts they encountered this time did not have a clear source.

More precisely, just pure malice.

To put it to the extreme, even if you add up all the fatal accidents that have happened in the school since the school was founded, including the curses of a dozen college students who have never experienced anything in the world, who are about to die when they are delayed , nor should it achieve such a strong curse and obliteration effect.

Nan Zhou said solemnly: "According to the law of energy conservation, this is not scientific."

Jiang Fang smiled and said, "I know."

Jiang Fang added: "But this will give her something to do and pass the time."

While speaking, Nan Jixing was too hot, and moved her chubby buttocks to get out from the back neckline of Nan Zhou's sweater.

Jiang Fang gently hooked his collar from behind and helped Nan Jixing, revealing the teeth marks on the back of Nan Zhou's neck.

Nan Jixing hopped three times and jumped onto his shoulder, chose the left collarbone with the best position and touch, sank his buttocks, nestled himself comfortably, and swayed his slender tail like a windmill. Stop, very comfortable.

Jiang Fang asked Nan Zhou, "Which book do you want to read?"

"I'm not here to read books." Nan Zhou said, "When I'm thinking about something, I like to come to the bookstore for a walk."

As he spoke, he took a light breath.

He is very used to the unique smell of ink and likes it very much.

It helps him think.

Jiang Fang accompanied him on foot in the sea of ​​books.

Jiang Fang asked him, "What are you thinking? Maybe I can help you."

Nan Zhou: "Thank you, Xiangyu."

Jiang Fang: "Still thinking about him?"

Nan Zhou turned half of his face and said, "It's not about him, it's about you."

His frank words, mixed with the sunlight floating with thin light dust, gave Jiang Fang the illusion of being shot by an arrow in his heart.

Jiang Fang covered his heart lightly with one hand: "Ah, my honor."

Nan Zhou: "You said that you can understand what he is thinking."

Jiang Fang laughed.

Nan Zhou stated the facts: "You always laugh at me."

Jiang Fang: "If I didn't know your character, I would think you did it on purpose..."

Talking like this on purpose, hanging him on purpose, doing this on purpose...

Make him itchy.

Nan Zhou was confused: "Huh?"

Jiang Fang changed the topic: "Are you asking Xie Xiangyu?"

Nan Zhou: "Yes."

Jiang Fang touched his chin: "If I were him..."

Nan Zhou took the initiative to interrupt him at this moment: "You are not him. Then, what will he do?"

Jiang Fang pursed his lips and smiled.

He didn't want to destroy his image in Nan Zhou's mind.

So he has been deliberately hiding some of his deepest thoughts.

But Nan Zhou's various words and deeds always made him have the courage to open up all his truths to him, or in other words, impulsiveness.

Therefore, Jiang Fang still used the rhetoric rejected by Nan Zhou: "If it were me, I would also use people like Sun Guojing. First, they can explore dangerous paths for me that I don't want to take. Second, By eavesdropping on their communications with us, it is possible to judge and understand the progress of our investigation."

Of course, the latter's purpose lost its meaning when Jiang Fang discovered it.

"Then, I will not try to resolve the hostility of that power, nor will I find a door of life from the infinite door of death."

"The easiest way is to kill a player who shouldn't die in sequence, and try to completely break the law of that power."

Nan Zhou raised his eyebrows: "Ah, there is a way."

"It's a very effective and cost-effective method. If used properly, it can kill one person and save six."

Jiang Fang said, "Also, Mr. Nan, don't forget, we are playing a game."

"We're playing a game where player points are used to rank players."

"Outscoring your opponent is not the only and most efficient way to win."

"The best way is to have no opponent."

When Nanzhou was thinking, Jiang Fang swallowed all the words he hadn't said yet.

If it was him, he would not stay away from everyone like Xie Xiangyu.

In his current state, he can perfectly integrate into the cooperation with everyone.

He was sure that Sun Guojing and the others would be completely devoted to him.

He can ensure that when Sun Guojing and the others die, they will still think that they died at the hands of ghosts.

Nan Zhou had a sudden look of "it turned out to be like this".

Jiang Fang asked: "How is it? It's very bad."

Nan Zhou's expression was as usual: "It's nothing bad or bad. It's just another way to play."

He added: "Killing teammates, wouldn't you lose points? It's still not worth it."

Jiang Fang asked: "If the setting in this game is a prize pool point system, the fewer teammates, the more points you can get from the prize pool in the end?"

Hearing this, Nan Zhou slowly picked up the thermos in his hand and took a sip of it warmly.

Inside is honey water.

He said: "If this is the case, other teams will definitely kill us first."

"If they don't do it, don't you do it?"

"Yes." Nan Zhou said seriously, "Otherwise, wouldn't we take it for granted?"

... Jiang Fang was subtly cute by Nan Zhou.

Nan Zhou said: "This game is very simple. But I don't like it."

The feeling of breaking the neck of someone who looks like me is not happy at all.

"Yes. I know." Jiang Fang said, "So, I won't do it..."

Having said that, Jiang Fang suddenly pressed his ears and took a small breath.

Nan Zhou's face tightened: "What's wrong?"

Seeing his full of vigilance, Jiang Fang lowered his head, propped one hand on the bookshelf on one side, and pretended to be precarious: "...I heard it again."

This is Jiang Fang's fourth time.

When he went to the bathroom alone in the morning, he heard the third rustle.

As a result, the corridor he was walking at that time turned into an endless corridor.

Moreover, the eyes of the heads of the great men on both sides were fixed on him, turning slowly as he walked, their gazes were extremely cold and vicious.

After Jiang Fang tried to walk around in a circle and a half, he immediately decided to close his eyes and walk backwards.

After a while, he was back at the inflection point.

Seeing that he heard that voice again, Nan Zhou's chivalry disease immediately broke out.

He reassured him in his usual frigid tone: "Don't be afraid. It'll be a while..."

However, in the next second, his gaze suddenly turned to a corner not far away.

Nan Zhou's demeanor was visibly chilled, like a feline whose territory had been violated.

Jiang Fang also noticed the drastic change in his expression, and followed his gaze.

But the point of his gaze was clearly empty.

Nan Zhou whispered, "There is someone."

He added: "...I feel it."

Jiang Fang licked his lips, moistening his already bright red lips a little.

He said: "You are too nervous. You should stay in the dormitory tonight and have a good rest."

Nan Zhou turned around and looked at Jiang Fang for a moment, as if reading some kind of message from his eyes.

He looked into his eyes and replied intently: "Okay."

Two bookcases away from the two of them.

On the thin layer of ash next to the wooden bookshelf, three unclear fingerprints were left.

Xie Xiangyu just arrived.

He didn't dodge like when he was almost caught by Nan Zhou for the first time, but stood behind the bookshelf, separated by two bookshelves, and looked at Nan Zhou's face majestically.

Outline the ears under half-length curls.

The arc of the lateral Adam's apple protruding.

Covered by the sweater, the tip of the elbow bone was still well-defined.

Blueish veins on drooping wrists.

Wrapped in white socks, the ankle was so slender that one wanted to hold it.

Everything is so perfect, as perfect as a person walking out of a painting.

Xie Xiangyu likes to eat yellow peach cake the most.

When eating cakes, he always likes to save his favorite yellow peaches for the last.

So, he turned his attention to Jiang Fang.

Tonight, maybe I can get rid of unimportant people first.

Nan Zhou's expression of concern for Jiang Fang just now was so touching that Xie Xiangyu was a little obsessed with it.

He was looking forward to Nan Zhou waking up and seeing Jiang Fang's broken throat and unrepentant expression.

Definitely, very, very pleasing.

……

This joy lasted until the sunset and the moon rose, and the night fell.

Xie Xiangyu admired the moon for a long time on the roof of the foreign student dormitory building, regretting that there were still about ten days before the full moon, and carefully conceived his farewell words when he sent Jiang Fang away.

"Jiang Fang, hello."

Although at that time, Jiang Fang might not be able to hear his own voice.

But this sense of ritual must be there.

In the past 23 years of life, Xie Xiangyu has been bored and wasted time in a boring life.

So he loves this "Gravity" that revives him.

He also has a wish that must be fulfilled.

Therefore, killing Nan Zhou was also one of his demands.

Xie Xiangyu admitted that he did have an almost fanatical interest in Nanzhou.

However, a person like Nan Zhou is almost destined to make it to the end, and when he meets him again, there will be no conditions for such a favorable time, place and people.

Nanzhou must die.

Just not today.

With such secret and enthusiastic anticipation, Xie Xiangyu came to the foreign student dormitory one hour after the lights were turned off.

He knew that Nanzhou and Li Yinhang had lived here for the past two days.

It was pitch black inside the door, people should have already fallen asleep.

Xie Xiangyu clenched his Throat Broken Pen tightly with his left hand, took out the exclusive card from his pocket, and affectionately stroked Jiang Fang's name written on the white sign on the surface.

After confirming that it was the original card, he pressed the card face against the card reader, waiting for the pleasant "di" sound, accompanied by the green light of "permit".

However, what greeted him was the red light that suddenly turned on, and the harsh sound of "unlock failed" in the corridor late at night.

Before Xie Xiangyu could react, the door in front of him opened like lightning.

What came oncoming was actually a splash of...flour.

According to the shape of the flour spread and the area blocked in the air, Jiang Fang accurately grabbed Xie Xiangyu's throat, and before he had time to make any effective resistance or escape, he was dragged into the in the dormitory.

Xie Xiangyu's footprints were left on the flour.

And the door closed with a gentle movement.

At this time, Nan Zhou, who was in the stairwell on the fourth floor and was leading Li Yinhang up all the way, heard the muffled sound coming from the seventh floor, and suddenly raised his head.

Li Yinhang also felt something was wrong: "What's going on?"

Didn't Nan Zhou say that he would not go back to the foreign students' dormitory tonight, and go to his dormitory to stay for a while before turning off the lights?

Why did you suddenly change your mind?

What does "I worry about him" mean?

But Nan Zhou didn't care to answer her question.

He speeded up silently, one step at a time, and ran up.

……

While struggling violently, Xie Xiangyu saw the empty student dormitory except for Jiang Fang.

In the blink of an eye, Xie Xiangyu already understood what happened.

——Jiang Fang knew everything.

He replaced the key card early on.

It couldn't be simpler.

As long as you destroy some components of your original room card, lie about losing your card, go to the management office on the first floor, and change hands, you can replace the spare card with the old card without anyone noticing. Card.

Jiang Fang has been guarding against him.

Even... Maybe he also thought about using the power mechanism in this copy to get rid of someone.

Jiang Fang pushed Xie Xiangyu against the wall.

In the pitch darkness, no emotion could be read from Jiang Fang's pale eyes.

Compared with his violent movements, his voice is still elegant, deep, calm, and melodious like a cello.

"You really let me down."

"Taking the upper hand, is this the way to play?"

Xie Xiangyu laughed out of breath, shaking the white powder on his head.

"You restrained him." Xie Xiangyu said, "You wasted his talent."

Jiang Fang narrowed his eyes: "What do you mean?"

Xie Xiangyu: "Literally. You wasted Nanzhou's ability for nothing."

Xie Xiangyu grabbed Jiang Fang's wrist: "If it were me, I would treat him well. Explore every corner of his body."

"After all, he's so funny..."

Jiang Fang's expression turned cold.

If Jiang Fang had just thought about letting the unstable factors in Xie Xiangyu's dungeon disappear without anyone noticing, then now, he planned to put it into action.

However, the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door interrupted Jiang Fang's plan.

The familiar footsteps made Jiang Fang let go immediately.

Xie Xiangyu, who was always waiting for an opportunity, seized the opportunity and immediately caught Jiang Fang with a backhand.

It's just that his new weapon is too short, good only for surprise melee combat.

Such a posture is really impossible to display.

This grappling posture is too non-standard.

According to Jiang Fang's experience, he has nine ways to counter and beat this person on the ground.

But after seeing the backlit silhouette of Nan Zhou standing at the door, Jiang Fang gave up all resistance.

He maintained a controlled posture, pressed his face against the cold and hard table, and said leisurely: "Baby, help me."
