Chapter 305 Ants
What broke the silence was the siren sounding again.
The fiery steam tears the cold mist and fills the old white with new white, just like the double shadow in the movie, presenting a wonderful visual effect,
Only 30 minutes left until departure.
Next, every 5 minutes, the flight attendants in the cab would sound the death whistle, mercilessly reminding them of the passage of time.
The previous mess has been cut open.
At present, all their possible actions have collapsed into two specific options.
To get in the car, or not to get in the car.
Li Yinhang was so nervous that his trachea convulsed.
Under the extreme tension, the damp and cold smell in the air was magnified countless times, making people breathless.
There is not much time left for them to choose.
At this point, Li Yinhang figured out why the Gaowei people wanted to set Nanzhou as the first to return to the train.
First of all, no matter how the dungeon is designed, Nanzhou is always the one who has the strength to complete the task first.
Second, it can take into account the audience's viewing effect and dramatic effect.
This is easy to understand.
After all, if Li Yinhang took the lead, I'm afraid I would stage a mental explosion on the spot.
It's all the final game, and what the high-dimensional audience wants to see is a strong showdown, not a rookie jumping.
Third, Nan Zhou and Jiang Fang are the only pair in the team who can form a fixed situation of containment.
Arranging the two of them side by side can most arouse the suspicion of other players and make them think that what Nan Zhou did is selfish.
If you change yourself, there will be no such effect.
Because she has no reason or motivation to lie, everyone will believe her words instead.
To be able to select a dungeon of this level in a short period of time can be regarded as the painstaking efforts of the high-dimensional people.
The core question is, since Nan Zhou and Jiang Fang are intended to form a check relationship, Jiang Fang is clearly capable of breaking the situation, so why not put him first?
The core purpose of the Gaowei people's move is that they are convinced that with Jiang Fang's temperament, he will not reason with them at all.
Li Yinhang can imagine that if Jiang Fang came back first and saw the strange situation in the carriage, he would definitely kill Yuan Mingqing who questioned him on the spot, and then held up the bloody knife with a smile and asked the rest Do the two of them want to wait for Nan Zhou?
They can choose, they will not force it.
Li Yinhang had followed Nanzhou and the others from the very beginning, so even if he didn't have to threaten him with violence, he would be more inclined to choose to trust his judgment.
The remaining one, Chen Sufeng, was also helpless.
But Nanzhou and Jiangfang are completely different.
Although his temperament is cold, his bones are full of tenderness.
The tip of his knife never points towards his teammates.
In that charming town.
The same is true in Gravity.
He has the absolute ability to commit violence, but never advocates violence.
He always insists on finding the optimal solution in the cracks.
Nan Zhou breathed out slowly: "I know, it's very difficult to persuade you not to get on this train. It's just that once the train starts, if you want to go down again, there will be no way out."
Yuan, Ming and Qing pointed out the question tit for tat: "If you stay here, will there be a way out?"
This station is completely closed, and the situation is worse than that of Nanzhou's Never-ending Town.
At least there's fresh air, and space for basic living needs.
If you make a wrong bet, you will stay here for the rest of your life...
Just imagining this possibility makes one's scalp tingle.
As if to echo this anxious atmosphere, the siren sounded suddenly.
It's like the clarion call for the high-dimensional people to march forward.
It is also like the death knell sounded for them in advance.
Nanzhou remained unmoved and continued to analyze: "I said, the theme of [Ant Train] has continued from the five dungeons we each experienced to the present. The theme of 'self-sacrifice' may also have continued. "Sacrifice" can only be called "sacrifice" if we all stay at the station together."
Yuan Mingqing pressed forward step by step: "This is just your guess. Besides, in individual battles, we only have ourselves, so of course we can only sacrifice ourselves; now it's team battles, and the five of us are a whole. Is it a 'sacrifice'?"
Nanzhou: "I don't think the purpose of the dungeon setting is for us to sacrifice a specific person."
Yuan Mingqing: "But you will drag all of us to die because of a specific person. ——'I hope our entire army will be wiped out' is also the goal of the Gaowei people. You said it yourself."
Nan Zhou: "What I mean is that when the high-dimensional people design the dungeon, there shouldn't be an option of 'someone must die'. In this way, the difficulty level will be out of balance."
Yuan Mingqing: "According to your speculation, the Gaowei people created a time gap and put us into the station after clarifying the specific customs clearance time for all of us. The ending of Jiang Fang has already been decided. There is no difficulty imbalance at all.”
He stared at Nan Zhou: "How do you know whether Jiang Fang is still in the dungeon, or is he dead? His existence itself is a 'bait' for you, so you can't let it go, isn't it?"
Li Yinhang listened to their impenetrable logical battle, unable to speak.
She had to admit that although Yuan Mingqing's words were harsh and sharp, they were all well-founded.
Nanzhou must answer these questions.
Otherwise, even Li Yinhang would not dare to take the risk to stay.
However, Nanzhou's logic was extremely clear, unshakable by the aggressive Yuan Mingqing: "Whether he is alive is the same type of question as whether to get in the car. You are responsible for proving that he is dead, and I am responsible for proving that he is still alive." The next is correct."
Yuan Mingqing: "..."
"Excellent!" After he was speechless, he smiled angrily, and spread his hands, "Who wants to stay with this lunatic to test his conjecture?"
Li Yinhang and Chen Sufeng were silent and did not answer.
Yuan Mingqing stared at Li Yinhang: "You?"
Li Yinhang did not answer silently.
Yuan Mingqing looked at Chen Sufeng intently, and signaled him to say something with his eyes.
Chen Sufeng, like him, has people who must be rescued, so he must not accompany Nanzhou to play this gamble of choosing one or the other.
It is certainly possible for flight attendants to lie.
Of course, there may be hidden murderous intentions in the car.
But once they miss this train, they may live for a long time in this eternally lonely station, until supplies are exhausted, until they go crazy, and even kill each other, eating each other's flesh and blood.
If the entire army is really wiped out, then no one's wish will be fulfilled, and the game "Gravity" will continue forever, and will always become a life and death field for high-dimensional audiences to watch.
This is truly one thought of heaven, one thought of hell.
Faced with such a choice between life and death, Chen Sufeng showed a calmness far beyond his age.
Although his position was consistent with that of the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, he was not influenced by his emotions.
After all, he and Nanzhou have never had a hostile relationship.
He raised an important question: "Brother Nan, if getting on the train means dying, you can succeed by staying in the station, why are you still here?"
Li Yinhang shuddered.
It had never occurred to her before.
Now being reminded by Chen Sufeng, she felt even more uneasy.
——If Nan Zhou successfully waited for Jiang Fang, then he should have left the game by now.
Chen Sufeng said frankly: "I don't want to rely on gambling to decide life and death and the future. I am only one step away from success. I will only take the safest and most correct approach. But, Brother Nan, as long as you can solve my problem, I will Just trust you."
"Yes, that's what I want to say." Nan Zhou said, "I can prove that getting in the car is wrong."
Yuan Mingqing pursed his dry lips, and did not expect Nan Zhou to produce any hard evidence that could shake his decision.
After all, there is only 20 minutes left for Nanzhou.
But he still held a glimmer of hope that he couldn't tell where it came from, and said: "... Tell me."
Unexpectedly, Nanzhou really said something amazing: "I'm sure, we failed twice. This is the third time we have discussed this matter at the station."
The siren sounded again, making people's eardrums ache and shaking people's hearts.
Gaowei's studio played Nan Zhou's words simultaneously.
Hearing this, the director's complacent face froze.
He suddenly picked up the transmission device, so as to listen to Nan Zhou's words more carefully.
impossible!
It is impossible for Nan Zhou to tell whether it is the second or third reincarnation now!
Because in each scene, they will re-update the space and characters.
The messy carriages and broken newsstands will all be repaired after the reincarnation ends.
As long as all the personnel die, everything will automatically refresh to a new scene!
How could he have guessed it? !
……
When the director was brainstorming wildly and trying to figure out what went wrong, Nan Zhou at the station began his analysis: "I have analyzed it, the first reincarnation, we are bound to fail."
Li Yinhang nodded blankly.
Yeah, because nothing happened in the car at that time.
What Nanzhou saw was a normal train.
So at that time, they didn't know the horror of the carriage, and there was only one problem they faced:
Jiang Fang didn't make it back before Nanzhou's ticket expired.
So, in order to wait for Jiang Fang who didn't know if he would come back, Nan Zhou gave up his ticket and chose to stay at the station.
Yuan Mingqing boarded the car with others and left.
What happened on the way is unknown.
Something must have happened to Nan Zhou who stayed at the station.
In short, all members are destroyed, and the second reincarnation begins.
Nan Zhou was the first to come back, and saw the blood-stained future in the carriage.
At that time, Nanzhou would definitely act, like now, trying his best to convince others to believe what he saw.
However, because of his stance, he was still unable to convince everyone, and finally fell into an endless loop of incomprehensibility——
As long as Jiang Fang didn't come back, Nanzhou would still stay at the station.
The three who dare not take the risk of staying at the station will still choose to board the train according to the instructions of the contract.
It stands to reason that there should be no difference between the second reincarnation and the third reincarnation.
How can Nan Zhou judge whether it is the second time or the third time?
Nan Zhou said: "Chen Sufeng, just now you asked me why I stayed at the station and failed to complete the task."
Chen Sufeng nodded.
Nan Zhou said: "Because I chose the right path, and you chose the wrong path."
Yuan Mingqing laughed dryly: "Too confident?"
Nan Zhou turned to look at Yuan Mingqing: "In the carriage, there are traces of the deaths of the three of you. Yinhang was thrown out of the car window, you, or Chen Sufeng, one lost a lot of blood, and the other was stabbed through the eye. I also checked the station before you came back. There has never been such a vision in the station."
Yuan Mingqing blinked and wanted to refute, but was at a loss for words.
Nanzhou continued to analyze: "Are you trying to say, 'Gaowei people didn't show it to me'?"
"But if there is, will the Gaowei people really not let me see it?"
"If there are bloody scenes in the station, won't it be easier to shake my judgment? It makes me believe that the station is also very dangerous, and maybe getting on the train is the right choice."
"So, I don't think anyone died on the station at all. They don't have any images to show at all."
"The path I chose was right. I just didn't follow the correct path and left the instance."
Li Yinhang blurted out the question that the three of them were most concerned about: "Why?"
Nan Zhou replied: "Because, if you are all dead, it is meaningless to me whether you pass the level or not."
"Don't forget, we still have to make a wish."
These words, accompanied by the sound of the siren soaring into the sky, made Li Yinhang's chaotic mind instantly brighten up like a cleansing of snow.
That's right.
She was so focused on the dungeon, but she forgot to make a wish after clearing the level!
Their ultimate goal is obviously to end the game "Gravity".
If the number of people wishing is not enough, Nanzhou will either give up his wish and make a wish for human beings, and he will be trapped in the game forever.
Or, he only allows wishes related to himself, and leaves the game, regardless of the life and death of the human beings in the game.
Nan Zhou said: "Even if I walk out of this station alive, the outside world is still the world of "Gravity". The game will never end."
"I wouldn't choose to end like this. I don't like it either."
"Gaowei people also grasped this point. It made me unable to make a choice to get out of the station."
"In the first world, I couldn't see the vision in the train, so there is no evidence to judge that I am in reincarnation."
"By the time I know, it's too late for me to remind me in the second reincarnation."
"After the second reincarnation begins, I will definitely try to make some signs to remind me not to board the car, it is a wrong choice to board the car."
At this time, the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties were also extremely shaken.
He noticed that he was being persuaded by Nan Zhou.
He turned his head to look at the train immersed in the dense fog, wondering if the giant steel dragon lurking quietly in the twilight was the hope of life, or an iron coffin.
He had to look for Nan Zhou's logical loopholes to fill his inner unease and wavering: "But they won't let you leave any marks at all!"
"Well, I know." Nan Zhou said, "I thought of it. The Gaowei people will refresh everything, and even myself may be a refreshed person. I can think of this in the second round. … I believe I can think of it myself."
No matter whether he spray-painted "Don't get on the bus" on the wall of the station, tattooed himself with words, or secretly carved words in a hidden corner, there is no conclusive evidence left.
As long as the Gaowei people raise their hands, they can easily erase all this.
If you want to break the situation, you can only——
"I just don't want them to refresh." Nan Zhou said, "I refresh myself."
While speaking, Nan Zhou took out the A-level prop [Analogous Clock] from the warehouse.
It is the core item for [Xiao Ming's Daily] to pass the level, but its rating is only A-level.
Because it is different from ordinary time-traveling props.
It can't carry memory to travel, it just goes back to the past and completely resets time and space.
As it says -
[Time is the most unplayable thing in the world. 】
[What should happen will always happen. 】
At this time, the clock on paper sketched out with children's strokes showed "in use".
The small print at the bottom says it has been running for 5 hours and 45 minutes and will expire in 1 hour and 15 minutes.
The faces of the three changed drastically.
Now, 15 minutes before departure.
And Nanzhou chose to use this prop after the train left and waited alone in the station for only 1 hour, countercurrent time, traced back to the source, and restarted the whole world.
The 1-hour waiting time shows that Nanzhou is not desperate because of the long wait, and it is unlikely that it has encountered an attack far beyond Nanzhou's strength level, so it has to do it—as Nanzhou said before, if the station There are traces of fighting on it, and the Gaowei people will definitely not hesitate to reproduce it, so that both the station and the train are covered with blood, so as to interfere with their judgment.
Excluding all other possibilities, there is definitely a possibility that a new vitality is bred in the station!
Director Gao Wei suddenly crushed the conduction earphones.
When space and time are reset, who will judge whether this is the power of the item or the power of the copy?
Nanzhou... was actually in the dungeon, cheated the dungeon? !
Nan Zhou: "The only props I can think of that can be used at hand are this. I didn't expect that when I dug it out quietly, I found that it was already in use."
In his first reincarnation, he had no clues or clues.
After knowing that he still has two chances, Nan Zhou naturally wouldn't waste his props.
He gave up the chance to clear the level and chose the second reincarnation in order to collect more clues.
At the end of the second reincarnation, Nan Zhou tricked everyone with an A-level prop that was originally functional and started a "false reincarnation".
He also used this A-level prop to give the other three people a reason to stay in the station.
While this evidence was not enough to prove that it was completely safe to stay at the station, it was enough to convince them to take a gamble.
This round of high-intensity brainstorming ended, and the siren had already sounded several times.
Nan Zhou looked around at everyone: "So now, what do you think?"
silence.
long silence.
The studio of Gaowei people is also silent.
Only the sound of data-intensive water flow is like the drumbeat of a heartbeat.
The director tightened the loose conductors, comforting himself: It's okay, it's okay.
Although Nanzhou persuaded the other three people, it is absolutely impossible for him to leave the station in the end!
because--
In this silence, Li Yinhang quietly raised his hand.
But she didn't mean to express her opinion: "I have a question."
Nan Zhou: "Yes."
Li Yinhang: "Mr. Nan, if Brother Fang comes back at the time when the game can be cleared, with two wishes, you should be able to get the chance to leave the game. After all, Brother Fang..."
She didn't have the nerve to say the next thing.
To put it bluntly, if Jiang Fang had returned at that time, he would not have cared about their lives.
He and Nanzhou can make two wishes, and both of them will be separated from the system, regardless of the flood behind them.
Li Yinhang plucked up his courage and said, "So I guess, Brother Fang didn't come back when you found your way out, did you?"
The reason why she finds it strange is that when Nan Zhou recounted this experience, the subject used repeatedly was "I", not "we" referring to Nan Zhou and Jiang Fang.
She thought that although Nan Zhou had already forgotten that memory, he must have guessed something before adopting such an expression.
Nan Zhou nodded: "Yes, he didn't come back. This is why I want to keep all of you."
Li Yinhang was startled: "Huh?"
"I've always found it strange. I said the same thing just now." Nan Zhou said, "If brother Fang's single-player copy takes longer than all of us, it's really unfair. The balance of the game will be destroyed , high-dimensional viewers will be dissatisfied with this behavior.”
"So I think it's possible that he..."
Just at this moment, a brisk footstep approached them.
click.
click.
Mr. "Flight Attendant" came in wedge-heel leather shoes, covered in fog and dew, and stood three meters away from the four of them, clasping his hands in front of him: "Everyone, it's only 5 minutes before the departure time. Excuse me, everyone." Do you want to get in the car?"
Nanzhou didn't answer.
He just walked up to the steward and looked up at him.
"Would you take the car away if no one left?" he asked.
"Of course." The flight attendant nodded, "In the future, someone will definitely go."
Nan Zhou let out a "huh", took another step forward, and stretched out his hand to gently grab the corner of his clothes.
He asked very lightly: "...Brother Fang. Is that you?"
As soon as these words came out, the "flight attendant" seemed to be a character in a fairy tale, and some kind of spell was released.
His stiff limbs loosened visibly, as if a puppet had been cut with all its threads.
The numb muscles of the face, which didn't seem to belong to him at all, also dissolved and changed shape like water.
A head of silver hair hung down the brim of a pitch-black hat.
Dressed in the uniform of a flight attendant, Jiang Fang gasped slightly, and after adjusting his breathing rhythm, with a smile on his face, he gently stroked Nan Zhou's head: "You're exhausted."
Nan Zhou: "Yes. I'm exhausted."
"Wet." Jiang Fang waved at him, "Come on, give me a hug."
Without saying a word, Nan Zhou threw himself on Jiang Fang firmly.
The fog and dew on his body and the cold sweat that exhausted his mind and strength, fell on his shoulders.
Any explanation can be left for later.
All he wanted to do now was to hug Jiang Fang and touch the tentacles with this ant companion.
