I studied beheading in a mental institution

The mental hospital of the gods.

The shadows of the whirling trees swayed with the wind, and beside the black and white stone table and chessboard, a figure remained motionless like a stone sculpture.

Those gray eyes reflected the position of each chess piece, and there was a faint light in the depths of the eyes, sometimes puzzled, sometimes clear, I don't know what he was thinking about.

"See what?"

A voice came from behind him, and Lin Qiye, who was wearing a white coat, put his hands in his pockets and walked slowly to his side.

An Qingyu didn't look up, but asked in puzzlement:

"Who did you play this game of chess with?"

"【chaos】."

"No wonder……"

Lin Qiye's eyes fell on the chessboard covered in dust. This chessboard was left when he competed with [Chaos] for the control of the hospital four years ago. It didn't have any special meaning. Later [Chaos] seemed too lazy to Playing chess, it has been left here without moving.

"What did you see?"

"It's so messy, you can't see anything."

Lin Qiye sat down on the other side of the chessboard, "When was the last time we played chess?"

"Four years ago." A flash of reminiscence appeared in An Qing's fish eyes, "Back then we were in Beijing University, and I was still trying to recover from the trauma of my soul."

"It's only been four years... It always feels like it's been ten years."

Lin Qiye glanced across the chessboard, waved his hand lightly, all the chess pieces automatically floated back into the two chess baskets, and the dust on the surface of the chessboard dissipated instantly.

"Next round?" he asked.

"can."

"It's just playing chess, it's a bit boring... How about we add some bonuses?"

An Qingyu glanced at him, "So, you came here to collect information from me."

Lin Qiye smiled without saying a word.

"Okay." An Qingyu didn't hesitate much, "If you win, I can answer one of your questions...but not all questions."

"This standard is too vague. It's up to you whether to answer or not."

"Then don't go down."

"...Okay, what if you win?"

"If I win, I want to go somewhere."

"Go to a place?" Lin Qiye paused for a moment, "Yes, but not all places are acceptable... Besides, I want to go with you. If you have any extra moves, I will take you back directly."

"make a deal."

I don't know whether it was intentional or not, this time the chess basket in front of Lin Qiye contained sunspots... He picked up a sunspot with his fingertips, and it landed on a certain place on the chessboard first, followed by An Qingyu. Baizi falls next to sunspot.

Seeing this scene, Lin Qiye frowned slightly, and he dropped a black stone at another corner of the chessboard, followed by the second white stone, which still landed beside it.

"Your chess... seems to be different from four years ago." Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes slightly.

"People always change."

The breeze blew over the shadow of the tree, making a crisp rustling sound, and the two played chess in the courtyard in silence.Li Yifei, who was on the side, was about to step forward with a cup of tea. Seeing that the expressions of the two were extremely focused, after a moment of hesitation, he silently went to the stairs and sat down.

Unknowingly, the two black and white pieces on the chessboard have been entangled and scattered, making people dazzled.

When Li Yifei woke up suddenly from his sleep, the two people beside the chessboard had withdrawn their palms, as if they had ended the chess game.

Li Yifei immediately got up and walked over, asking curiously:

"How? How did it turn out?"

"draw."

Li Yifei shrugged and said helplessly, "You guys have been playing here for so long, and it's a draw in the end? It's really boring..."

Lin Qiye and An Qingyu looked at each other and fell silent at the same time...

Their previous bets were all judged on the basis of "winning". Now that it is a draw, neither of them can get what they want.

"...Actually, a draw can also be regarded as a win for both sides." Lin Qiye hesitated.

"Agreed." An Qingyu nodded immediately.

"In that case, you answer my question first." Lin Qiye stared into his eyes,

"Why did you betray Daxia?"

An Qingyu seemed to have guessed that Lin Qiye would ask this question, without the slightest hesitation, "I refuse to answer."

"How does Cthulhu Mythos plan to deal with Great Xia?"

"I refuse to answer."

"What's your hole card?"

"I refuse to answer."

"How to crack the time maze?"

Hearing the last sentence, An Qingyu's eyes froze,

He stared at Lin Qiye closely, and after a long silence, he said in a deep voice:

"You... found the door of truth?"

"I'm asking you."

Under Lin Qiye's gaze, An Qingyu finally opened his mouth and said:

"The time labyrinth is essentially the time field left around the wreckage after [Key of the Door]'s eternal sleep...there, the boundary between time and space will be broken, so any form of space movement will become Binary changes in time and space.

If you want to crack the time maze, you must use a stronger force than the [Door Key] to directly smash the time field, or you can only find the law of the maze through continuous trial and error, and leave it. "

Hearing this, Lin Qiye frowned tightly.

Breaking the time field with a stronger force than the [Key of the Door], almost no one in this world can do it at present... [Chaos] As the strongest frontal combat power among the three pillar gods, it may be possible to succeed.Other than that, the only hopeful person is Zhou Ping in the Sword Hut.

The combat power of the Three Pillars Gods is much higher than that of the Earth's Supreme God Realm. Back then, the three Heavenly Venerates and Michael teamed up to kill [Black Goat]. The sword of Zhou Ping's Shattered Sea Region before that shows that his combat power has a high probability Compared with Michael, but compared with the three pillar gods...

Even if Zhou Ping could break through the maze of time with his sword, Lin Qiye would not let him do so. After all, doing so would cost his life, and it would be a waste to use his sword on a maze.

"What's the difference between your answer and not saying?" Lin Qiye frowned.

"..." An Qingyu thought for a moment, "In the general direction, only these two methods are correct, but in fact, the second method also has a simpler method..."

"How easy?"

"Let's put it this way, the time maze itself is not a three-dimensional existence. It is composed of countless mazes from different times stacked up and down. It can be imagined as a skyscraper. The first floor you enter is 'now', and the downstairs All the floors of the hotel are 'past' and the upper floors are 'future'.

Every time you take a step in this maze, you will be sent to the corresponding location on any floor upstairs or downstairs. Generally speaking, people who enter cannot control themselves to take a step, which part of this skyscraper will they come to? Floor, it's completely random.

But since it is a floor, there must be something similar to a 'safe passage', as long as you find this 'safe passage', you can freely choose which floor to go to..."
