Quick Travel: The host must die in every plane

Su Ye walked into the study and found that almost half of the English books on the bookshelves that were originally full had been replaced by Chinese books.

From classical literature to romance novels, the content covers a wide range of topics, including almost everything.

Seeing the familiar words on those books, Su Ye was so excited that tears filled her eyes. She finally found a little bit of home in this cold and dark castle.

"These books..." Her voice was choked unconsciously.

Duke Eric explained behind her: "Yesterday you said you were homesick, so I sent people overnight to collect these books. If you feel homesick in the future, you can take a look."

Su Ye glanced at him gratefully, "Thank you."

Then looking along the bookshelf, she found that the ornaments on the table had been replaced by blue and white porcelain, and the place where the piano was originally placed had been changed into a chessboard.

Realizing that her mood was a bit sad, she deliberately lightened the atmosphere, so when she saw the chessboard, she smiled and asked, "Why is there still Go? Your Excellency, can you still play Go?"

"That was given to you by Giovanni. He recently met a businessman from the East and gave him this chessboard. He said that you were also from the East and might be interested in this, so I gave it to you as a meeting gift. .”

While Duke Eric patiently explained, he bent down and took out a chess book from the secret compartment of the chessboard and handed it to Su Ye.

"This is the bonus chess record."

Su Ye took the chess book and flipped through it casually. For some reason, she seemed to be able to vaguely understand the diagrams drawn on the chess book.

She thought she might have learned a little bit of Go before, so she still retained some basic skills in her mind.

Duke Eric saw that she was fascinated and asked, "Do you understand? Giovanni said that he had a headache when he read this atlas, but he also felt that every chess game contained profound meanings."

Su Ye nodded slightly, "I can understand a little bit, I think I may have learned some before."

"I have long heard that Eastern culture is profound and profound. Unfortunately, I have lived in the castle for a long time and have never had the opportunity to visit that land in person."

Su Ye remembered that Giovanni had said that Duke Eric had never left the castle, but she didn't know why.

With Duke Eric's ability and status, no one should be able to restrict his actions.

She also didn't believe that he would imprison himself in this gorgeous but cold castle for thousands of years for a perfunctory reason like not liking contact with humans.

So there must be some special reason why he stays in the castle and doesn't go out.

If we could figure out the reason, we might be able to prescribe the right medicine, and it would be easier to take him out of the castle.

Thinking of this, Su Ye had an idea and invited Duke Eric to play a game of chess together.

Duke Eric smiled and shook his head, "Forget it, I don't know how to do this."

Su Ye pushed him onto the chair opposite the chessboard and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you don't know. I can teach you. Go is meant to be played by two people, otherwise it would be boring."

As he said that, he sat down opposite him.

She first pointed to the chessboard and introduced the rules to him, "This chessboard has nineteen vertical and horizontal line segments. These line segments intersect together to form three hundred and sixty-one intersections. We play chess at these intersections." .”

Then she opened the chess box on the chess board, picked up a black chess piece, and placed it in the center of the chess board.

"The chess pieces used in Go are only black and white. Each side holds a color. According to the rules, the black piece goes first."

"Look at my black stone. It has four empty spots on the top, bottom, left and right. This is its 'qi'. Each piece has up to four breaths. If you land white stones on these empty spots, then my black stone will Even if it's 'dead', you can bring this sunspot out."

"This means that your white piece occupies this place, and I can't continue to make moves in this place."

At this point, Su Ye paused and looked up at Duke Eric. She was worried that he would not understand if she spoke too fast.

Duke Eric was thoughtful, and then said: "So the meaning of Go is that whoever encircles the larger territory in the end will be the winner."

"That's right!"

Su Ye didn't expect that he, a foreigner who had never seen Go before, could actually understand the game.

She rubbed her hands together excitedly, "That's about it. How about we play the next game first? If you encounter something you don't understand, I'll teach you slowly."

"Okay." Duke Eric agreed readily.

He imitated Su Ye's way of holding chess pieces, took out a white stone from the chess box in front of him, and placed it next to Su Ye's black stone.

Su Ye then dropped a black stone next to Bai Zi and tried to eat Bai Zi.

Bai Zi saw Heizi's intention and clung to Heizi, intending to surround Heizi.

After repeating this cycle several times, the white stones and the black stones became entangled, and an infinite cycle appeared on the board.

Seeing this, Duke Eric smiled and said: "If this continues, won't this game of chess never be finished?"

"will not."

Su Ye rarely showed a serious look, "There is a professional term for this game, called 'Jie'. If either side takes turns to extract the other's pieces endlessly, then this game will become a meaningless entanglement."

"So the rules have long been stipulated that when one party captures the other party, the other party cannot immediately take back the piece. He must make another move elsewhere on the chessboard before he can take it back."

After Su Ye explained the rules, he immediately ate the white piece. According to the rules, Duke Eric could not take back the piece immediately.

She thought he would choose to give up this place and stop entangled with her.

But what she didn't expect was that Duke Eric's next step was to drop next to a white stone that was obviously almost out of breath to help it survive.

In order to stop Bai Zi, Su Ye blocked his way.

However, what shocked her even more was that his next step was to return to that "tribulation".

Su Ye completely blocked the two white stones that were left with their last breath, and then took the next step to retrieve his own black stones from that "tribulation".

In this way, it is obvious that she is the one who has gained the greater advantage.

But Duke Eric seemed to be completely caught up in that "tribulation", and then continued to entangle with Heizi using the same method.

Su Ye asked him puzzledly: "Your Majesty Duke, you can clearly encircle more land elsewhere. If you continue like this, you will only bring yourself more meaningless sacrifices."

Duke Eric smiled, and then fell into that "catastrophe" again.

"No matter how much they sacrifice, as long as they can stay entangled forever and never separate, it will be worth it."

The final result was obvious, Bai Zi bruised himself.

He lost half his life for this "catastrophe".
