Forces of Temptation

In the blink of an eye, Nan Zhou pushed the body of the best elder brother among them face down onto the grass, stepped on the ground, and rushed towards "Song Haining" with big strides!

"Song Haining" didn't shoot, but jumped down the steps and fled to the other side of the bridge!

But her running speed is really limited.

When she passed a tree, Nan Zhou grabbed her by the back of the collar.

Originally, he just stunned her.

But she turned around flexibly in Nan Zhou's arms.

The muzzle of the short gun in his hand pointed at Nan Zhou's heart.

When her ribs touched the hard muzzle, Nan Zhou immediately snapped and twisted her neck.

Her body softened, and the muzzle of the gun slowly moved up along Nan Zhou's chest, pointing all the way to Nan Zhou's throat.

She died without pulling the trigger.

And in her eyes, there was Nan Zhou's incomprehensible pain and bewilderment.

Nan Zhou supported her waist, laid her limp body flat on the lawn, and looked at the last remaining death light in her eyes.

He remembered that when he mentioned that he would take Guan Junliang's body with him, she was stupid to say something.

……Yes.

Song Haining has always been careful and affectionate.

In public and private, and in love and reason, she would not leave Guan Junliang's body upstairs alone.

Putting it in the portable warehouse is actually the safest move.

But when Nan Zhou proposed to go back to find his body, she said something stupidly, but her throat was blocked.

"...Why?" Nan Zhou asked Song Haining softly, "Why didn't you kill me if you could throw the body away?"

Banhang on the other side stared blankly at what happened in this instant.

He looked at Guan Junliang who was on the ground, and then at Song Haining who had a broken neck: "...Haining?"

It happened suddenly.

too suddenly.

It seems that just a second ago, they were still doubting each other, exposing each other, and planning their future, as if they still had a future and hope.

The next second, she threw Guan Junliang's body.

In the next second, she died in Nan Zhou's arms.

As time passed, Ban Hang finally understood what was happening before him.

His face was shaking and convulsing.

He really didn't know what kind of expression he should put on in the face of such a situation.

But his voice was already full of pain in advance: "How could it be?...She was possessed by Keith? But, how could Keith know about the things between us..."

His words faltered.

So, does this mean that Keith actually has the ability to read memories?

Or is there some other reason—

Before he had time to react, there was a bang in his head.

In the next second, Ban Hang watched helplessly as he put his hand on the bolt.

And Nan Zhou also heard the light sound of a bullet being loaded from behind him.

Nan Zhou's long black hair was blown up by a gust of wind.

He turned his head and fixedly looked at Banhang.

When Ban Hang realized what had happened, his face turned pale.

After a short period of fear and bewilderment, he held his gun, stretched out his hands, and staggered towards Nanzhou.

He said in a hoarse voice, "Nan, Brother Nan..."

He took a few steps like sleepwalking before he pressed the muzzle of his gun against the ground, forcing himself to squat down and bend his knees.

don't go any further... please...

He seemed to be wrestling with another force in his body, trembling all over his body: "My body, my brain... Brother Nan, I, I'm not right... There is another person's voice in my head... "

The skin around his eyes gradually turned bright red from his emotional agitation.

Banhang suppressed his voice tightly in his throat, as if he was afraid of disturbing the whisper in his head, with a volume almost whispering, he whispered: "He, let me kill you..."

Nan Zhou took a step towards him: "Ban Hang, throw away the gun."

With a crying voice, Ban Hang slowly raised the gun in wrestling with both hands, aiming at Nan Zhou's head, his muscles were tensed and trembling.

He shook his head and said in a low voice, "I can't throw it away...I can't throw it away."

The scene in front of him was weird.

Nan Zhou watched him walk towards him step by step, with hesitant steps and slack eyes.

As Banhang moved forward, he moved his eyes to the scope and buckled the trigger with his index finger.

But compared to the murderous intent in his movements, a desperate earthquake is taking place in his pupils.

After fully understanding what happened, Ban Hang's vocal cords trembled: "Brother Nan, kill me..."

The sound is like a gnat.

It was also like thunder.

Nan Zhou put Song Haining back against the tree and walked towards him step by step.

Nan Zhou was convinced that, like Hai Ning, he was parasitized by Keith.

Since he can control the flow of life force, he can also control... the flow.

Keith's vitality, just like a parasite, quietly dormant on his team members in batches.

To kill Keith, kill them first.

Is this Keith's plan?

Did he think he wouldn't kill them?

Nan Zhou clenched his palms tightly.

"Brother Nan, when you start... hurry up." Banhang's earrings were shining brightly in the unchanging daylight, which made his complexion paler, "Brother Nan, I'm actually very scared It hurts, and I'm afraid of death..."

Nan Zhou said calmly: "You will not die. I can save you."

He killed Hai Ning because if he didn't do it, a part of Keith in her body would definitely control Hai Ning to pull the trigger.

Even if she was knocked unconscious, the temporary unconsciousness probably belonged to Hai Ning's will.

"I'm afraid it's going to get on you."

Ban Hang ignored Nan Zhou's promise, and said in a crying tone, almost moaning: "I just grabbed you for a while, I don't know how many seconds, I... I didn't kill you, did I? "

Nan Zhou comforted him: "You forgot, I am not human."

He is a person in the book, he has long been infected by virus parasitism, and his vitality is endowed by light.

Keith may have taken a fancy to him a long time ago, but in fact, he couldn't plunder his body at all.

Nanzhou was the only safe one among them.

Nan Zhou continued: "You control your body. I'll knock you out, let you go to the warehouse, and take you to the west bank."

Ban Hang couldn't help shaking: "Time is no longer moving forward, how do we get out? How do we... live to the seventh day?"

Nan Zhou: "There will be a way."

Banhang: "Will there be such a person hidden in my body for the rest of my life?"

Nanzhou repeated: "After the copy, we will be fine. There will be a way."

Ban Hang suddenly laughed miserably: "Brother Nan, don't lie to me. You can't help it."

He stood still before the white and holy steps of the church.

Nan Zhou stared at Ban Hang, not knowing whether Ban Hang or Keith said this sentence.

...Yes, he couldn't help it.

He has no way to guarantee that if he takes Ban Hang out of the dungeon, Keith will be automatically removed from his body.

After all, he, a ghost, was brought out of the dungeon by Brother Fang in this way.

If the copy has such a "self-cleaning" ability, the first thing to be cleared is itself.

Ban Hang cried with a smile: "...So, Brother Nan, kill me."

Nan Zhou walked up to him.

The two are at the junction of the white steps and the huge stained glass, like a charming and gentle oil painting.

Tears welled up in his eyelashes, and he looked up at Nan Zhou: "I will stay here to accompany Qing Yao."

Nan Zhou looked at him expressionlessly, feeling colic from the depths of his heart.

At this point, Banhang's trembling has stopped.

He saw the determination in Nan Zhou's eyes, so he smiled gently at him: "Although I was afraid of you at first, I'm really glad to meet you, Nan..."

Nan Zhou moved swiftly and broke his neck bone.

He was sure that it would be quick to do it himself.

Banhang will not feel any pain before he dies.

Ban Hang's body lost the power of autonomy, and he fell forward limply, leaning on Nan Zhou, no longer breathing.

Nan Zhou held his head and asked in his heart, Keith, is this how you love your friend?

Is this your friendship?

Would you rather live by boarding?

However, before he could recover from the pain of killing his teammate, Nan Zhou's nerves jerked suddenly, and just as he was about to turn around and retreat, he was overturned by a huge impact from his chest.

He shattered the glass and hit the statue of the Virgin standing by the window.

Nanzhou's body and the statue of the Virgin were torn apart on the ground inside the church.

Facing the sacred religious lacquer painting on the ceiling, Nan Zhou saw bursts of gunpowder smoke escaping from his lungs.

The shrapnel bounced around in his viscera, wantonly cutting his flesh and blood.

Nan Zhou gritted his teeth patiently, and tensed his body so as not to stimulate the shrapnel to cut into his heart while curling up.

...he really hates surprise attacks.

Just now, the moment he turned his head, he was sure that he saw the face of the visitor from the west bank.

Behind him was a vast expanse of clouds, inlaid with a halo of light, which made his face paler, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, extremely weak, and it seemed that he only had one-third of his life left.

But this one-third of his life was enough for him to shoot.

Nan Zhouyu was not divided into two shares, but three shares.

The arrival of the messenger who broke the cross-strait curse is also meaningful.

……

When Keith completed the performance of "Exorcism" and was still stranded in Guan Junliang's injured body, new memories began to be created in his mind.

The appearance of the little duke was earlier than in his original memory.

When he was still a boy younger than him, and was serving in another nearby church, a slender figure walked in from the outside with the lingering aftertaste of a beautiful sunset.

He was wearing a crimson Flack, but a European-style veil that only girls would wear, and he walked slowly in front of him. His golden curly hair shone beautifully in the sun.

He said softly, "I've come to see you."

Keith, a teenager in a plain black theological uniform, turned his head: "Who are you?"

The visitor did not answer his question, but made some strange remarks.

"There will be such a day in the future." The young man's voice is gentle, "In order to deal with a difficult person, you need to divide your life into three parts and enter the bodies of three people, each with a part."

Keith was a little surprised: "Sorry, I'm a child of God, not a devil. I won't have that ability."

The young man's expression was a little melancholy: "...I wish you would always be."

This is too much like a weird prophecy.

Keith Yu, probably a cultist.

This beautiful and mysterious boy looks like a wizard who brings curses, but he really doesn't look like a wizard.

Young Keith was trying to drive him away, but he wanted to listen to him talk more.

After all, he is really crazy.

The evil boy continued to talk: "Every life regards itself as the only existence. When two sources of life exist in the body at the same time, they will definitely compete for the dominance of the body."

"At that time, you need to hide quietly, don't fight, hide somewhere in those two bodies, and only seize control of some limbs when necessary. For his own friend, that person will kill himself friend."

The young priest looked at the young wizard and smiled awkwardly.

He couldn't understand the specific content, but he had already heard the flaw.

"Wait a minute, a moment," Keith said. "You mean, I'm going to... divide my life...in thirds?"

Young Wizard: "Yes."

Keith: "But, you said, I'm going to hide in the bodies of two people. So, where did the third person go?"

"The third person was tied up in the attic, and I sent it there." The young wizard blinked and smiled softly, "I will leave a letter for him before the operation. After I succeed, he will go to find him." You send the letter, he is the turning point I am looking for for you."

Keith asked again: "Since I have the ability to invade other people's bodies, why not invade the 'difficult person'?"

The young wizard answered every question: "Because he is special. You have no way to take his body. After that difficult person is injured, don't confront him head-on and leave immediately. He is a very powerful existence. You Don't come near him."

Keith shook his head, good-natured and confused. "Why would I do that?"

The young wizard looked at him with blue eyes: "Because...you love me."

The teenager Keith didn't understand, and after the little wizard left, he quickly forgot about it.

Later, he and his father left the original church to go to a new church dedicated to serving the Duke's family.

Then, there was that encounter.

The little prince fell from his pony horse and fell into the ditch.

While bandaging the duke, the young Keith looked into the duke's eyes and greeted him more than before: "...haven't we met somewhere before?"

The little prince said nothing, but looked at him with his innocent blue eyes.

Keith didn't say much, just whispered: "I've seen a man with the same blue eyes as you before."

The little duke held his hand and said softly, "There are many blue eyes. In the future, you will have many, many blue eyes in your life."

Now, at last, he understood exactly what Shelley meant.

Time has already told him the optimal solution.

He also knew that he didn't need to exchange any more bodies.

Because his lover is existing in eternal time.

There is no more perfect body.

But Shelley back then gave him the most effective method.

After knocking out Song Haining and taking her body, Keith approached Ban Hang with Song Haining's body, secretly giving him one-third of his vitality.

Then, before Ban Hang noticed, he attacked Ban Hang and cut his chin with a knife.

Frightened, Ban Hang escaped from the church, but did not dare to act rashly, so he waited outside the church for Nanzhou to act together.

Immediately, he used the body of "Song Haining" to come to Deacon Harris who was imprisoned by Banhang, and dragged him unconscious to Guan Junliang, who had become an empty shell.

He and the comatose Song Haining in Guan Junliang's body switched bodies again.

After re-entering Guan Junliang's body, he tried his best to grab Harris' hand.

Harris entered Guan Junliang, and he entered Harris.

He cut Guan Junliang's throat silently, leaving Harris' life buried in a stranger's body.

He gave Song Haining another third of his life, and then, in extreme weakness, dragged the gun that Nanzhou cheated from the other side, and using his familiarity with the church, he slowly walked out the back door step by step. .

He completed this silent relay of life alone, sharing his life among three people.

Next, he has only one thing to do.

Shelley told him to kill the "difficult man".

The two of them hunted together since they were young, and Keith was trained by Shelley to be excellent with a gun.

After he injured Nanzhou, he did not repair the gun, but followed the instructions Shelley left him, supported his body with the gun, turned around and threw himself into the woods step by step.

He didn't need to check whether Nan Zhou was still alive.

Because time told him that he was sure to win.

……

Alarmed by the loud noise of smashing glass downstairs, Nan Jixing suddenly woke up, shook his hair suddenly, and woke up.

... what happened?
