Chapter 823 Pure White Night (3)

(BGM: "Pure White Night" - Dabozz)

Although the winter in Athens is not considered cold, it is cloudy and gloomy. However, this night was unexpectedly clear. When Cheng Mo was spying on Xiyuanji Benimaru on the sixth floor, the cloud that covered the moonlight happened to be in the Leaving slowly, the bright moonlight climbed up the golden beach along the blue waves, shaking the holly trees on the side of the road, covering the entire slope, and illuminating the entire patch of uneven white houses.

At this moment, against the background of hazy city lights, the beaches of Athens are like the wonderful scenery on a postcard, which makes people feel out of reach.

Cheng Mo turned his head, he knew that this was not a trap, if it was a trap, then the overwhelming pup missiles should have leveled the entire building the moment he reached the sixth floor.

If it wasn't a trap, how could Xiyuanji Benimaru look like he was waiting for his door?

Cheng Mo's heart was a little uncertain, he looked towards the beach not far away, he should have spent a pleasant night with Xie Minyun in a wooden beer hut, a noisy electronic music bar or a petty bourgeois cafe, but at this moment he But he had no choice but to face someone he didn't want to face at all.

"Maybe this is the helplessness of growing up." Cheng Mo thought, he walked out from the side of the wall, looked down at the Japanese-style tatami floor, hesitated for a moment, and took off the pair of worn iron lions on his feet Tony stepped into the living room.

On the wall of the living room is a picture of the sunset on the coast, which is exactly the same as the sea view outside the living room, like a mirror image.Below the sunset picture is a fireplace, the outside of the fireplace is covered with rough but beautifully patterned shells, and the inside is dyed with a slightly drunk firelight, so the air is filled with warmth, and there is also a faint smell of firewood, which is mixed with the fishy and salty sea waves. Together, another wonderful and unique taste is produced.

The moment Cheng Mo entered the living room.

Xienji Benimaru opened his eyes, his eyelashes were long and trembling under the light, like the wings of moths.His handsome face was covered with a thin layer of warm light, and his smile was like a gentle warm wind. Just looking at his appearance, it was easy for people to put down their guard and think that he was a harmless and humble person.

But Cheng Mo knew he was not.

"You're here." Xiyuanji Benimaru stared at Cheng Mo, and said as if meeting Cheng Mo.

Cheng Mo didn't answer Xiyuanji Benimaru, but walked steadily with steady steps, walked to the bright yellow torreya wood chessboard, bent slightly and grabbed Xiyuanji Benimaru's kimono collar, and held Xiyuanji Benimaru lifted up from the floor, Cheng Mo slightly lowered his head and looked down at Xiyuanji Hongmaru.However, Xiyuanji Benimaru not only did not resist, even the lines carved on his face with a smile were exactly the same as before. Cheng Mo's heart shuddered a little, and he cheered up. He stared at Xiyuanji Benimaru slowly and coldly Said: "Are you ready to pay the price?"

Xiyuanji Benimaru let Cheng Mo carry him as if his whole body was weak, he raised his hands as a gesture of surrender, still smiling, shook his head and said: "Oh! Cheng Mo, don't be so angry , violence only makes you look cowardly."

Cheng Mo punched Xiyuanji Benimaru in the abdomen without hesitation, and immediately Xiyuanji Benimaru turned into a cooked shrimp, arched his back, and grabbed Cheng Mo's arm with his originally raised hands , and then vomited blood foam.

"I don't mind telling you that you do make me feel dangerous, so I plan to get rid of this danger forever."

Xiyuanji Benimaru raised his head and glanced at Chengmo, then lowered his head and rubbed Zuchengmo's sleeves a few times until the wet feeling disappeared, then raised his head and smiled and said, "Sorry, I borrowed from you." I have used up the sleeves of my kimono. I don’t want to dirty my kimono. This is a treasure handed down from my great-grandfather’s generation. In order to meet you, I specially asked someone to bring it to me from Japan. See how much I treat you. Seriously, but you just think I'm dangerous." The smile on Xiyuanji Benimaru's face faded, and he said sadly, "This makes me very sad."

Cheng Mo suddenly grabbed Xiyuanji Benimaru and lifted him up from the tatami. Xiyuanji Benimaru, who was in a relaxed state, was shaking slightly in the air like a rag doll, and his face flushed instantly. , as time passed by every minute and every second, the pair of beautiful gray pupils were about to fall out of the eye sockets, and the slight whimper sounded like a low howl of a wolf, but he didn't even struggle for a moment, as if he fully accepted the future. The end of death.

"Boom~!"

Cheng Mo threw Xiyuanji Benimaru's slender body on the tatami. He looked at Xiyuanji Benimaru who collapsed on the tatami while coughing and breathing heavily, but he was very helpless in his heart. Aya Ra is not threatened by death, and even desires to die, which is supported by her faith, because she firmly believes that she can go to heaven by dedicating herself to the Lord.But Xiyuanji Benimaru is not threatened with death because he is sure that he will not kill him.

At least not now.

"Since I caught you, I won't let you die so easily. I've prepared the 'Veritaserum' for you. Next, the two of us will play slowly." Cheng Mo looked down and lay down on the ground Saienji Benimaru whispered.

Xiyuanji Benimaru sat up with some difficulty supporting the tatami with both hands. He pointed to the chessboard next to his feet and said, "Don't bother, come on, let's play a game of chess first. As long as you can win, you want to ask?" I'll tell you everything."

"You think I'll trust you?"

Xiyuanji Benimaru looked up at Cheng Mo, his face had faded from crimson to pale at this time, and his pupils did not show any hatred towards Cheng Mo, instead he smiled at Cheng Mo, and then he tidied up Cheng Mo grabbed the messy kimono, sat on the side of the chessboard, picked up the chess pot containing black pieces, put it next to his knees, looked at the chessboard and said: "I can tell you, no matter what medicine it is It's useless to me. I believe you can tell whether I'm telling the truth or a lie. And I found out your identity, and I didn't run away immediately, and I didn't sell everything to Tai Chi Dragon on purpose, which proves that My sincerity. In the current situation, to be honest, it is you who have no choice! Cheng Mo, not me"

"Escape? Do you think you can escape? Your Ouroboros is still in my hands, so where can you escape?"

"My Uroboros is in your hands? Why don't you put it another way, your 500 billion, six Uroboros, and your lover are in my hands?" Xiyuanji Benimaru showed a half-smile expression , "Running has never been my style, you don't know me well enough, but you will soon find out that we are actually the same kind of people"

Said that Saiyuanji Benimaru took out a black piece from the chess jar, rolled up his sleeves, and stretched out a pure white arm from the wide cuff of the kimono.The arm was shining brightly under the incandescent lamp, as if a white snake had swam out of a hole and hovered over the chessboard.

I saw Xiyuanji Benimaru lifted a sunspot between two fingers into the air and paused for a second, then moved lightning fast to the center of the chessboard, and there was a crisp sound like thunder in the living room.

Xiyuanji Hongwan made a gesture of invitation to Cheng Mo, and said leisurely: "Since you are the carrier, then I will stick to the black first and not stick to the eye, but do you have the confidence to defeat yourself?"

Looking at the dark black chess piece that landed on the "Tianyuan position" like a black hole occupying the center of the galaxy, Cheng Mo was quite shocked. The first chess piece landed on Tianyuan is definitely not a conventional way to play, even in 1933 Zhenshuo In the battle between the ancient and modern genius Wu Qingyuan and the so-called undefeated celebrity Honinbo Xiuzai, Wu Qingyuan went against the tradition and used Tianyuan to start the game, but he didn't play Tianyuan with the first move, but the third move with Tianyuan. In the position of Sansan and Xing, and because these three hands belong to the "forbidden hand" of the Honinbo Gate, Honinbo Shuzai Celebrity proposed to suspend it.

Celebrity Honinbo Hideya relied on the privilege of being able to suspend frequently to delay time, so this famous game that caused a sensation in the world lasted for three months, until finally Hideya, who was holding white chess, narrowly won two eyes.

And what Xiyuanji Hongmaru said, "Are you confident that you can defeat yourself?" is to tell Cheng Mo clearly that he wants to play imitation chess, which is a rogue strategy developed based on Wu Qingyuan's Tianyuan opening.Its rogue lies in that it does not completely follow the position of the opponent's bet, and lays in the corresponding position, but a limited imitation.That is, when a certain move played by the opponent is a "smelly move" or is not the most valuable move on the current board, stop imitating immediately and seize a more valuable move.Therefore, the imitated is more nervous than the imitator.

For those who hold black first, playing imitation chess is almost guaranteed to win two or three eyes, so the entire Japanese chess world hates it.It also led to restructuring, so the modern professional chess world has implemented sunspots first and posted them first. In addition, "imitation chess" has been thoroughly studied, and several methods of coping have been produced. This winning method has almost disappeared.

Nowadays, imitation chess will also appear in the professional arena, but they are all imitation chess in disguise, and there are very few people who occupy Tianyuan first-hand.

"As long as you can win, I will not only tell you where Gao Yuemei is, but also hand over Chen Fang and Floran to you, and I will also tell you a big secret! Such a good thing. You will have to kill me if you kill me." No more." After a short pause, he said again: "It's just a game of chess, and you have nothing to lose, so why not hesitate, why don't you try it?"

Xiyuanji Benimaru's voice was soft, not as sonorous and forceful as a boy's, but it was weak; but it was not as deliberately enchanting as "0".Like the flute sound coming from a high place, it is melodious, mysterious and bewitching.Although Cheng Mo was never confused by this voice, Cheng Mo really couldn't refuse the offer offered by Xiyuanji Benimaru. Under the circumstances that death could not threaten Xiyuanji Benimaru, sitting down at this moment seemed to be the best choice .

Cheng Mo didn't speak, and sat silently on the cushion in front of the chessboard. He moved the chess jar to a convenient place, and then touched a white piece. He raised his wrist, looked at the black piece in the center of the chessboard, and thought for a moment with a serious expression. , and gently placed the chess piece in the lower right corner.

Xiyuanji Benimaru hardly thought about it, and quickly took out a sunspot from the chess pot, and with a "snap", he simply and neatly slapped the black piece on the corresponding symmetrical point of the Moluozi in the upper left corner.

Go is a psychological game, and Cheng Mo is determined to use the carrier's powerful computing power to crack Xiyuanji Hongwan's Tianyuan opening in an extraordinary way. After thinking clearly about this, Cheng Mo plays quickly.

Benimaru of Xiyuanji was also quick to follow, but when he played No.18, Cheng Mo changed his steady play, and the white piece flew to the upper left corner of the black piece, and resolutely rushed, trying to cause a fight.Xiyuanji Benimaru glanced at the chess board, still placed the piece on the corresponding point, and said with a smile: "I thought everything was boring back then, and when I didn't know that my future goal was you, I happened to read the manga "Spirit of Chess" , so I started to learn Go. I always do what I think of, so I went to the famous Go Dojo Hongdojo to learn Go. When I first entered the world of Go, I thought Go was really interesting, and I studied it very seriously. After 10 years, When I was in junior high school, I passed the exam and became a student of the Japanese Go Academy. At that time, my goal was to become a professional Go player and restore the glory of Japanese Go. This process has been going smoothly. At the age of 14, I became the most active Go A young chess player. He also worshiped Honinbo Hideyoshi as his teacher."

Xiyuanji Benimaru broke the silence, and Cheng Mo didn't mind knowing more about this powerful enemy. He said lightly, "Then how did you develop into what you are now? Could it be that you found yourself weak and couldn't achieve your goal at all, so you gave up halfway?" gone?"

At this moment, Cheng Mo was attacking and attacking the black chess piece in the upper left corner, while Xiyuanji Benimaru was attacking his chess piece in the lower right corner according to Cheng Mo's method.

Although it imitated Cheng Mo to play chess, Xiyuanji Benimaru's movements and demeanor were much more handsome and elegant than Cheng Mo's genuine version, as if the master was teaching his disciples how to play chess.After gracefully following Cheng Mo and dropping a piece, Xiyuanji Benimaru said, "At first I liked Go because of the complexity of Go, and the situation of each piece will always change as the game progresses. This kind of change is almost the same as the relationship between people, and it can become more and more complicated, even beyond the imagination of chess players. As long as the chess game is beyond your own imagination and calculation power, then you will lose your understanding of the game. Control. Therefore, every move must be cautious, maintain a high degree of caution in dealing with the opponent's moves, beware of the chess game developing in an unpredictable direction, you can't breathe at all, you must always be more agile and flexible than the opponent to win, but I will join After the Chess Academy, I discovered that this is actually not the case.”

"How is that?"

"Perhaps the outcome of Go was very pure when I was first learning, whoever has a higher level can win, but later I discovered that you not only have to control the rules inside the board, but also learn to deal with the hands and feet outside the board. You have to be better than your opponent Only by being more ruthless, more precise, and more ferocious can you win. Even if you do this, there will always be forces outside the chessboard that interfere with the outcome. Especially the so-called chess methods that we have imposed on Go day by day, on the surface, we pay attention to the elegance of Go , taste, and the virtues of the East actually make the latecomers bow to the hegemony of the former. Not only that, in order to win, chess players will do whatever they can. There is even artificial intelligence as a means of cheating.” said Nishienji Benimaru.

Cheng Mo shook his head: "That only shows that your strength is not enough. When your strength is enough to absolutely crush the opponent, no tricks will work."

Xienji Benimaru smiled and said: "I thought so too at the beginning, so I told my teacher Honinbo Hideyoshi my dissatisfaction. I think you should also be aware of the historical background of the World War I. At that time, our country was planning the Manchuria incident and preparing to launch a war against China, and Wu Qingyuan was a young boy in your Huaxia. In short, this chess game not only It caused a sensation in Japan, and even your Chinese media reported it, so what was originally just an ordinary game turned into a confrontation between China and Japan."

Xiyuanji Hongmaru looked up at Cheng Mo, and he said lightly: "So the result of the game was doomed from the very beginning, no matter how strong Wu Qingyuan was, he could only lose, because at that time the national power of Japan was strong, and This game of chess is not just a game of chess that has been hyped by the media. As for this game of chess, everyone who is familiar with Go probably knows it, but what you don’t know is that in the middle game, when Black moves 159, at this time The small victory of the black chess player is very obvious. So Honinbo Hideya announced to fight again. This is No. 12 times, and only played four-handed chess that day. After a week of resumption, the famous Hideka finally played a ground-breaking skill ——White 160 volleys into the black formation. Black 161 is the best response to this. Under the influence of 160, to 188, black's five pieces on the right are captured, and the situation turns to white's advantage. On the last day of the game, black loses It seems to be a foregone conclusion, and these 160 earth-shattering moves were thought up by Xiuzai's disciple Maeda Chen Er during a group study with his seniors. Even if Wu Qingyuan came up with the best opening and had the most powerful strength, he was alone , after all, you can’t defeat a country.”

"So this makes you less interested in Go? Because you found that compared to the human chess game and the world chess game, the game of Go seems too small?"

"You still know me. At that time, I not only won the World Youth Championship, but also won the championship of Japan's rookie king. But then I retired. Many people couldn't understand and felt sorry for me. Because for me, even if I reached I have reached the highest point of Go, but I am still just a pawn. A pawn of the Go Academy, unless I can replace my teacher as the dean of the Go Academy, but the name 'Honinbo' is not something that can be obtained with strength. This is No matter how hard the employees of a company work, they are just the pawns of the boss. No matter how hard the bosses work, they are just the pawns of the chaebol. No matter how much money the chaebol make, they are the pawns of the country. A weak country will inevitably become a pawn of a powerful country. Thinking of this On the first floor, I thought that Go was nothing more than that, and since this is the case, I might as well join in the grandest game, and there is no need to waste time on Go." Xiyuanji Benimaru looked at Chengmo again, with a look in his eyes Burning eyes asked: "I think you are the same as me, right?"

"Oh, I never feel that life is boring, and I don't have any lofty ideals. My goal is just to be a librarian." Cheng Mo said lightly.

"Haha~!" Xiyuanji Benimaru laughed, at first it was just a chuckle, then he laughed backwards and forwards, and he stopped after a while, panting and said: "This is the most sincere I have ever heard lie."

Cheng Mo shrugged his shoulders and said: "Believe it or not, in short, I am not the same person as you."

Xiyuanji Benimaru shook his head, and he said in a sonorous and deep voice: "We are all the same kind of people in our bones, the same only believes in the weak and the strong, and the same only believes in our own truth. The only difference is that you are still bound by the feelings of the world. And I'm completely free so I can be a god, whereas you're just a mortal if you can't get rid of your emotions."

After saying this, Xiyuanji Benimaru, who was sitting opposite Cheng Mo, suddenly gained momentum, with a detached and absolute expression on his face, he straightened his back, put his hands on his knees, and looked down Looking at Cheng Mo, as if he is really able to dominate everything, and is an irresistible opponent for Cheng Mo.

At this time, it has been down to 1 moves. If Cheng Mo can't think of a way, and Xiyuanji Benimaru keeps going in accordance with the method of "returning the other body with the way of the other", at the end, Xiyuanji Benimaru He will definitely rely on Heizi's advantage of going first to win him with two eyes and a half.

In the eyes of experts, Cheng Mo has almost no chance of winning.

Cheng Mo sneered: "If you want to be a god, then go for it. As long as you don't come to hinder me, no matter whether you are a day photo or a god, I will do whatever you want." After finishing speaking, he patted a white stone in his hand.

However, this chess move was extremely bad, revealing a gap to the heavily besieged dragon in the upper left corner. If Benimaru Xienji continued to play as Narumo played, then Benimaru Xienji could still win both eyes in the final game. Half, if Xiyuanji Benimaru no longer follows Cheng Mo's play at this time, and seizes the opportunity to let his dragon squeeze out of the encirclement, then he will have a high probability of defeating Cheng Mo and let Cheng Mo make an early shot. Son throws in the towel.

Xiyuanji Benimaru fell into the long test for the first time. He grabbed a handful of chess pieces and twisted them like sand in the chess jar. The pieces made a pleasant rustling sound when they collided. Become a trap of silent change.

"I don't have much time for you." Cheng Mo said coldly.

Xiyuanji Benimaru said nothing, just picked up a chess piece with a solemn expression, but his movements froze at the lower right corner of the chessboard. Just by looking at his movements, he seemed to choose to continue to imitate Chengmo, but on the way However, Xiyuanji Benimaru placed the sunspot heavily on the upper left corner of the chessboard, and suddenly the chess piece collided with the chessboard, making a dull low sound.

Cheng Mo exchanged a big disadvantage for Xiyuanji Benimaru to imitate the change of tactics, but trying to reverse the disadvantage is an impossible task from the chessboard.Fortunately, Cheng Mo is in the carrier state at this time, his thinking is clear, and his brain is running as fast as an alpha dog. In his eyes, even though it is a big disadvantage, he still has a chance of winning.This situation, on the contrary, aroused Cheng Mo's desire to win, and a fiery force to survive in adversity surged in his body.

At the beginning of the breakthrough in the Central Plains, Cheng Mo was tossing and turning in the big black chess, stabbing or flying, pointing or jumping, and the skill of each move was much higher than usual, even Cheng Mo himself was a little surprised.

But what surprised Cheng Mo even more was that Xiyuanji Benimaru's chess skills far exceeded his imagination. If he was not in the carrier state, Xiyuanji Benimaru would be enough to win him even without the rogue move of Tianyuan's opening.At this time, even though Cheng Mo was in the carrier state, Xiyuanji Benimaru's black chess could still deal with it smoothly and freely, with deep steps and fierce moves, forcing him to hardly have a chance to breathe.

The white chess at a disadvantage is like a ferocious beast trapped in a cage, jumping like a thunder, tearing and biting wildly, but it can't bite through the dense encirclement of the black chess.

The white chess pieces on the chessboard are getting weaker and weaker.

Seeing that the overall situation has been decided, Xiyuanji Benimaru took out a Japanese cypress fan from nowhere and fanned the wind slowly. He looked at Cheng Mo who was concentrating and smiled softly: "It's a pity, although you just Start to hide your strength, pave the way for your own bad chess, and even leave a lot of back players, so that you can turn the situation into a balance or a small advantage after you play bad chess, but you want to beat me within my rules, even if you are Ke No, even if you are an alpha dog."

Cheng Mo ignored Xiyuanji Benimaru's provocation. He temporarily forgot Gao Yuemei, Xiyuanji Benimaru, and even the most urgent survival crisis he needed to solve right now. He only had this game of chess in his eyes .

There are actually not many people who play Go in China. Those who are unwilling to go to the chess school like Cheng Mo can only do life and death problems in their spare time except playing chess on the Internet. Many people don’t like doing life and death problems, but Cheng Mo likes it very much. He believes that chess has an impermanent shape, and any chess shape can be played. Just like many strange, tricky and messy "bad chess" in the endgame of chess, Yang Guanlin is the best at this. "Chess" walks into a weakly advantageous situation, and then wins the game.

The thrill of solving a puzzle is stronger than the thrill of defeating an opponent.

The current game of chess has become a life-or-death problem with a very high degree of difficulty. In Cheng Mo's eyes, the black chess is like a warrior holding a Japanese knife, moving around and wantonly bullying the white dragon, but the white dragon is powerless. To resist, he could only bleed, moaning silently, looking for a way out.A deadly and heavy atmosphere condensed on the chessboard. The misfortunes of life and the injustices suffered were like the shackles of fate tightly bound the white dragon.

Cheng Mo allowed the black chess to intercept one of the white dragon's tails, and the situation was even worse. He made a deadpan move, like a stone Buddha, and turned his head to attack the weak point of the black chess.

Xiyuanji Benimaru picked up a sunspot, and the clean and clean black chess piece shone with colorful halos under the light, like a mysterious warning.

With a "snap", the chess piece landed on the top, and after killing the white dragon's tail, it threatened the entire white dragon.Xiyuanji Benimaru waved the Japanese juniper fan and said, "You must die! This chess is like a national trend, as long as the general trend is achieved, even if you have all kinds of abilities, how can you stop it?"

Cheng Mo looked at the chessboard steadfastly. Before he could destroy the opponent's big dragon, his own big dragon would die completely. He had to stop, he had to give up attacking, work on the spot, and then linger on. Be able to look for other opportunities to win.
But is there any point in living like this?

After all, I still lose.

"Your life and your death are all consequences." Cheng Mo thought to himself, he closed his eyes, raised his head, picked up a white piece from the chess pot, and ruthlessly smashed it into the black formation. The white piece seemed to be desperate The samurai threw himself into the enemy camp without hesitation, just to get the head of the general, making the impossible possible.

The chess game suddenly became extremely heroic. It was no longer a gentle and elegant game, but a bloody and bloody fight to the death.

Xiyuanji Benimaru didn't seem to expect that Cheng Mo would choose such a decisive way. He put away his folding fan and fiercely attacked Bailong. His arm was like a giant python, choking his opponent's throat round after round.

In the current battle, the two are like warriors who can't block each other. You stab me once, and I stab you again. It depends on who can't hold on and falls first
After the big change of stabbing each other, Cheng Mo actually held on with a clever trick, delaying the victory to the officials.Then the officials were all collected, and the robbery in the upper left corner began.

The creator of Go set up the robbing rules, which are really strange, and seem to be the foreshadowing of all reversals: when a situation arises where the two sides raise each other, the one who is caught must first play a move elsewhere and force the opponent to respond before he can return a piece. son.Such a cycle is called robbery.

The victory or defeat of the robbery depends entirely on the robbery materials mastered by both sides.

Chengmo's big dragon was dead but not stiff, and he became a good material at this time, which forced Xiyuanji Hongwan to respond one after another until he exhausted it.The two started stabbing each other again, you brought it up, I brought it back, and they kept fighting for it.

until the last point.

Cheng Mo knew that he won for half an eye without counting. He looked up at Xiyuanji Benimaru who was covered in sweat. Although Xiyuanji Benimaru looked very annoyed, there was no trace of regret for changing his tactics in his eyes. , Cheng Mo became suspicious, and pretended to say proudly: "You don't know that what I am best at is doing life and death problems."

Xiyuanji Benimaru exhaled, as if unwilling to say: "Now I know."

"If you lose, tell me where Gao Yuemei is? There are also Chen Fang and Floran"

Xiyuanji Benimaru didn't mean to evade at all, and said directly: "Gao Yuemei is in Jingquan's hands, and I told him that you are Chengmo, does this count as a thing for you?" a surprise?"
