Forces of Temptation

    Jiang Fang stared at the blond girl's snow-white face and smiled calmly: "Of course."

    The blonde girl looked at him with a little curiosity, and found that he was indeed unshakable about the sudden change of clothes and the unknown situation, and asked, "Do you have any questions? "

    Jiang Fang: "Are you answering any questions honestly?"

    The girl smiled slightly: "Excuse me."

    Jiang Fang: "Why Thirteen Doors?"

    He remembered that there was indeed a story about thirteen doors in the fairy tale.

    The girl disobeyed the Virgin's command and opened the thirteenth door that the Virgin had forbidden her to open.

    She refused to admit her mistake, so she was severely punished.

    Jiang Fang must be sure that what he has opened is the door to survival, not a trap laid for him.

    The blonde girl smiled and said: "Because I like the number 11. And your friend is 2. The number of doors is never fixed. The more important people are, the more they want to go to their side. , the distance to go should be longer, shouldn't it?"

    Jiang Fang nodded.

    The princess in the fairy tale Wild Swan has 11 brothers.

    This statement is true.

    He continued to ask: "Do the 13 doors lead to the end? Is there a fork in the middle? Do I need to make a choice?"

    Blonde girl: "Yes. No. No need."

    Jiang Fang: "At the end, did I see the real Nanzhou?"

    Hearing this question, the blond girl's eyes showed a faint light.

    She didn't answer in time, but asked seriously: "Why didn't you ask that girl?"

    Jiang Fang: "Is there any difference? She and Nan Zhou are together."

    When she didn't talk about the task, the blonde girl's eyes blinked.

    …There is still a bit of ambiguity and gossip.

    She put her hands behind her back and asked with a straightforward smile: "You and that Nanzhou are lovers?"

    Jiang Fang thought about it and shook his head gently.

    …not yet.

    Girl: "Friend?"

    Jiang Fang shook his head very firmly this time.

    ...he's getting sick of the word "friend" now.

    The girl wanted to guess, but Jiang Fang made a stop gesture.

    The blond girl realized that she had strayed from the question, blushed a little, straightened her fluffy curly hair, and let herself re-enter the state.

    She said: "There is no fork in the road to the end, so in the end you will definitely be able to take the person you want. Besides, you just saw Nanzhou's appearance, he is very recognizable, You can still talk, don't you?"

    Soon, she paused: "Time is running out."

    Jiang Fang understood her suggestion and said: "Okay."

    With the same gentle smile as before, he asked his last question—

    "Kill you here, can I pass the level directly."

    The blonde girl showed her face: "You are so humorous. I am your guide and the one who finally opens the door to victory for you. But you can try, because no one has tried it. "

    Speaking, she raised her slender neck slightly, and pointed at her fragile throat with her index finger.

    It turned out to be a generous invitation.

    Jiang Fang smiled: "Sorry. It's just a joke."

    The blond girl's index finger slipped from her throat and landed on her collarbone: "I guess so too."

    Two people who are good at fake smile look at each other and smile.

    The blond girl gave an elegant farewell ceremony: "Then, see you at the end."

    Jiang Fang gently picked up the corner of her skirt, leaned over and saluted: "Thank you."

    The roles of gentleman and lady can be switched freely.

    The blond girl's figure disappeared completely after a waterfall-like light flashed.

    Jiang Fang raised his head.

    The natural and warm smile at the corners of the mouth is still there.

    This has long been Jiang Fang's habit.

    Even though he was seriously considering whether to use a light finger chain to sever the girl's neck, his smile did not waver in particular.

    Jiang Fang has obtained the information he wants.

    He not only obtained the copy information from the girl's mouth, but also probed into the girl's heart.

    Besides her mild and fake smile, it is obvious that she has normal curiosity and voyeurism.

    But she doesn't have the emotion of "fear".

    Jiang Fang could see that she was really not afraid that she would kill her.

    Why?

    Because of her strength, is she an NPC of the same level as Nanzhou?

    Because she is really simple enough to believe that she is joking with her?

    Because…

    Jiang Fang thought about it and remembered the sentence in the mission description.

    "There will be no 'foreign objects' that threaten the life of the 'Princess'"…

    The "safety of life" here means absolute safety?

    He thought while looking for the most important props for this mission.

    However, nettle armor is not difficult to find.

    There is a beautiful box four or five steps away from him.

    The words "Nettle Armor" were written on the box.

    It can be said to be very considerate.

    Jiang Fang picked up the box and opened it to check.

    The two pieces of armor that were neatly folded inside were light brown as a whole. As soon as the box was opened, a faint scent of dried plants hit the face.

    He didn't look at it himself, but picked it up with the hilt of a dagger.

     Chests are normal chests with no built-in traps.

    There are no other text or image comments inside or outside the box walls.

    Under the stirring of Jiang Fang, the armor rustled.

    When you touch the nettle with the back of your hand, there is a burning pain, just like the description in the fairy tale.

    After checking it, even if you are as cautious as Jiang Fang, you can't see any problems.

    Such an important prop was placed here without any scheming.

    It's like a scavenger hunt for kids.

    Jiang Fang closed the box and put it in the storage slot.

    …the same is true.

    He doesn't need to wear or hold a nettle.

    This game even provided Jiang Fang with a box.

    In this way, even the storage slot only needs to occupy one.

    It's almost as good as it gets.

    The first level seems too simple.

    Jiang Fang did not take it lightly.

    Because he knew it couldn't be that simple.

    He lifted the skirt, read the second, bathed in the golden sunlight, stepped on the soft greenery, and walked step by step to the square black dot in the distance.

    Jiang Fang walks all the way, waits and sees all the way.

    Because the world is rectangular, it is really the same as a side-scrolling game like Super Mario, just go from one end to the other.

    The difference is that there are no chestnuts, no turtles, no hidden bricks, and no ravines that can swallow people.

    No obstacles, no danger.

    Jiang Fang deliberately suppressed his pace and rhythm.

    Therefore, when he came to the little black spot from far and near, it took nearly 6 minutes.

    It was a door indeed.

    A square, heavy Western door.

    The door is dominated by a solemn dark red color, and the door handle is also made of dazzling pure gold.

    The door is covered with delicate, flowing water-like Damascus ranunculus embossed patterns.

    Jiang Fang pressed his hand on the door handle.

    The gold of the handle is extremely pure, which is a unique cool feeling after touching the metal.

    He added some strength and turned the door handle.

    The door is open.

    Light penetrates.

    Jiang Fang's body was completely engulfed.

    When his feet stepped on the soft grass again, Jiang Fang realized that he had successfully passed the first door.

    Jiang Fang turned around and looked back, and found that he had come from a dark blue door with a star-like luster.

    There seems to be a galaxy hidden inside, or a black hole.

    This should be the door that the blond girl said, after passing through, you can leave at any time.

    Jiang Fang backed away from it, slashing his fingertips with the dagger he held at all times, using pain to confirm that he was not hallucinating, and looking back—

    The scene behind the door is not very different from the first door.

    Only the terrain has changed slightly.

    He is standing on a small rolling hill.

    Except for the slightly rough road underfoot, the sky is still as blue as velvet, and the grass is still as green as dripping.

    800 meters away, there is still a small black spot.

    Everything is directed so clearly.

    Everything is telling him, let's go.

    He walked all the way to the second door, but did not rush in.

    He lifted his skirt, got down on one knee, and pressed the ground with the palm of his hand.

    The tentacles are extremely soft.

    With this emerald-like turf, Jiang Fang can only feel the same softness as stepping on the carpet even if she wears thin small high heels and her heels land on the ground.

    Everything is so normal and peaceful, that it is impossible to even raise any vigilance and fear.

    Jiang Fang will never be anesthetized by such a hypocritical beauty.

    He raised his dagger and thrust the sharp object into the ground before the door of success was only one step away.

    Keng—

    Jiang Fang's expression moved.

    …Anomaly, found.

    The land here is really hard.

    It is so hard that it cannot be destroyed by ordinary props.

    Even if Li Yinhang came to this kind of thing, he might not be able to detect it so quickly.

    According to Jiang Fang's observation, she prefers to wear flat heels and sneakers.

    Suddenly put on high-heeled shoes, and a layer of soft and thick turf for cushioning, most people have no way to immediately notice the abnormality of the land.

    Fortunately, when helping people practice numbers, thanks to the bad taste of the employer, Jiang Fang has long been accustomed to wearing high heels.

    He has some experience in judging the hardness of the ground after the heel is stepped on the ground.

    The soil and rocks here are unusually hard.

    Although he didn't know how this would affect his future journey, Jiang Fang silently wrote it down and opened the second door at the same time.

    After the third door, the deformation of the surface became more and more obvious.

    Next, is the fourth fan.

    Fifth.

    Sixth.

    On the road to the important person, there is no danger, but it is getting more and more difficult and steeper.

    When he entered the seventh door, the small black dot that represented the way of life 800 meters away had completely disappeared from his vision.

     Standing in front of him is a cliff about 8 meters high.

    There is no bump or crevice on the cliff for climbing.

    It is a straight mountain wall.

    Probably to make the passers feel better, this mountain wall is full of splendid grass and mountain flowers.

    But there is nothing but decoration.

    Jiang Fang said to himself in his heart, come.

    He stepped forward and used the dagger to test whether he could penetrate the mountain wall again.

    Sure enough, the mountain wall was as hard as diamond.

    Daggers are impossible to penetrate.

    Light finger chain also cannot be used.

    Because there are no objects above and below the rock wall to borrow.

    The S-rank item card [Silent Burst] has only one chance to use.

    Jiang Fang does not know whether it can break the mountain wall with one punch with its instant concentration, and does not know if there are more difficult scenes in the future, is it worth it? wasted.

    Fortunately, before he set off, Nan Zhou and Li Yinhang gave him all the props that might be useful.

    …including [Ma Liang's Sketchbook], which has only two uses.

    Jiang Fang stood at the foot of the cliff, and after a moment of contemplation, he drew a ladder.

    When marking the data next to the ladder, he wanted to write down 10 meters.

    However, after thinking about it, he altered the original data.

    The next second, a 20-meter ladder was erected on the cliff.

    Jiang Fang boarded the ladder without any hesitation, and climbed up nimbly.

    When climbing, Jiang Fang almost closed his eyes.

    He forced himself to try not to look below, to convince himself

    Fortunately, the height of 8 meters is still acceptable for him.

    He still remembered that the items produced by [Ma Liang's Sketchbook], the effect lasted only 3 minutes.

    So after he climbed to the top of the mountain, he immediately retracted the ladder into the storage slot, took off his high heels, carried his skirt, and ran towards the finish line.

    Fortunately, after climbing this 8-meter-high cliff, there is no other mountain wall.

    The 800-meter road ran in 2 minutes and 14 seconds, which was not too difficult for Jiang Fang.

    Running to the eighth door, Jiang Fang immediately pressed the doorknob—

    After pushing open the eighth door, Jiang Fang saw a vertical cliff 20 meters high.

    The mountains are full of flowers and green grass.

    Jiang Fang took a breath, quickly set up the ladder, and immediately started climbing.

    When he was still a few steps away from the apex, Jiang Fang's thoughts moved.

    As soon as the danger radar sounded, he responded immediately, exhausted all his strength, jumped up, and grabbed the edge of the cliff with one hand.

    In an instant, the ladder under my feet disappeared.

    Hanging on the edge of the cliff, the severe weightlessness made Jiang Fang's fingers gripping the rock beside the cliff for a while.

    The tinnitus of fear comes and goes like a tide.

    Jiang Fang hardly knew how he climbed to the top of the cliff.

    He sat for a long time before he relieved the nerve numbness and muscle tension caused by acrophobia.

    Jiang Fang cautiously chose to maintain his strength and breathe smoothly, then stood up and slowly walked towards the end.

    The soft blade of grass rubbed against her toes, barely calming Jiang Fang's breathing.

    But when he pressed his hand on the handle of the ninth door, Jiang Fang already had a guess about what was behind the door.

    After opening the door, what appeared in front of him was not what he expected.

    —Behind the door, there is a cliff about 30 meters high.

    Just staring at it, Jiang Fang had the illusion of panic and shortness of breath.

    He smiled bitterly in his heart.

    Perhaps it would be better for Nanzhou to come this time?

    …No, not like that.

    If he were replaced, the level should have new changes and adjustments.

    Jiang Fang thought that he probably understood which part of the brain they were currently in.

    —The amygdala, the brain's "fear center."
