Chess game

Nagasawa stood in front of the window, watching coldly the thunder and lightning outside, and the wind and rain.The expression on his face was calm, unchanged from the beginning to the end.

Someone opened the door and came in, bowed to him from a distance and gave him a salute, respectfully, and softly called: "My lord!"

Nagasawa didn't look back, but asked him coldly, "How's the matter?"

The person behind quickly responded: "My lord, please rest assured that everything has been arranged properly. The disk of curses has been obtained, and it has been safely delivered to that person according to what my lord said! That person asked us to bring a reply, He said: Let us wait and see what happens, what he said at the beginning, what he said - must be practiced!"

Nagasawa couldn't help but heaved a long sigh of relief. He cast his eyes into the distance, and a few traces of joy gradually floated in the depths of his eyes.

"I hope he can abide by the agreement and avenge us! And this nearly four years of continuous war is really too long!"

Sunshine comes in through the cracks in the window, the room is full of warmth, and the years are quiet.Cone Shengling only hid in the library, rummaging through all the relevant classics. In addition, the Nagasawa brothers are still sending over the collected materials in a steady stream!He barely eats, drinks, rests, or sleeps, but is desperately looking through all the records from ancient times to the present, just wanting to find a way to unlock the curse seal!

But on this day, someone suddenly came in to report, and someone came to visit.

Zhui Shengling was a little puzzled at first, but when he invited someone in to take a look, heh, it was his cheap senior brother—Yinggong Haidou!

Zhui Shengling frowned, and was about to ask him why he came, but the man opened his mouth directly.

"I just came to drink with you!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, and immediately someone brought in boxes of wine and piled them aside.Then, he conveniently opened two bottles, handed one bottle to Zhui Shengling, took a few sips of the other bottle in his hand, and sat down opposite him.

Although Zhui Shengling couldn't think of anything, but for some reason, he always felt inexplicably familiar with this kind of him, so the two began to drink together without any scruples, and when the wine was half full, Ying Gong Haidou was a little drunk, He said, "Let me tell you a joke, do you listen?"

Zhui Shengling also felt a little drunk, and had no intention of interrupting him, so he said lightly: "Well, tell me!"

Next, his faint voice floated in the air without any ups and downs, just like all stories.

"Once upon a time, there was a resourceful chess player, who has always stood on the altar, high above, scheming, used to being the king of the game, controlling the fate of countless chess pieces, turning his hands into clouds, turning his hands into rain, it seems It seems to be very proud of the spring breeze! But when everyone is looking up at his glory, in fact, his heart is not stable, because he knows in his heart that there is a fatal enemy who has been watching him in the dark! Before coming to him, he must think of a way to defeat him completely. For this reason, he exhausted his mind and spent seven years to set up a huge situation."

"He gathered all the chess pieces together, step by step, and used extremely cold and cruel methods to force them to use for himself, one by one. Originally, everything was calculated, no doubt! Because it was him and his allies The promise of that year! Seven years ago, they each adopted one of the hunter's twins and brought it up to adulthood. When the two met again seven years later, they planned to kill one of them, and then use the twins' The power of the curse guides and enhances the natural power of the other. If successful, they will then let the allies sneak into the old enemy with a favorable status, and use the hunter's weapon to give him a fatal blow before he wakes up! At that time, all crises They will all be strangled in the bud!"

"However, everything was unexpected. He lost the game that he had laid out for seven years! It wasn't because his enemy was too strong, but because he suddenly discovered that he fell in love with the one who was supposed to be sacrificed in the game. That trash, even in order to save him alone, he even betrayed his ally and overthrew the whole chess game with his own hands! The one who lost in the end——for no apparent reason!”

"Such a person is a fool! Probably even he himself feels that he has become a complete joke! Unwilling, he set up a second round."

"At that time, the Hunter's Association and the Elders' Association were fighting each other, and his enemy took this opportunity to frame an unjust case. He wanted to take the opportunity to stir up conflicts between the two organizations, stir up chaos in the world, and take the opportunity to win over forces and sit down. To reap the benefits, and his old enemy also wanted to take the opportunity to resurrect, take away the wings, and strangle all the things that threatened him to death in the cradle! And all of this did not escape the eyes of this chess player. What he did, but It's playing hard to get, watching with cold eyes. He has always been a very patient person. In this kind of world chaos, the comparison is not whose tricks are better, but who can afford to wait! Because tricks will always be exposed, And the person who sits firmly on the Diaoyutai in the storm will definitely be the final winner!"

"He has always held the evidence, but he is waiting, because if he waits until the dust of the injustice is settled, and then he comes forward to win the verdict for them, it will not only ensure that the chaos will not end, but at the same time win more hearts for him to the greatest extent. In one fell swoop, he brought the Hunters Association and the Senate under his wing at the same time. He can also point the spearhead at his enemies. At that time, people will attack them in groups. For him, it will kill three birds with one stone! At that time He has already buried countless bright and dark sons for this purpose, almost intertwined, can easily break through the last fortress of the enemy, completely smash the ambition of the person who wants to be resurrected on the ground, and grind it into dross. Looking at such a game at the time, it was almost a sure thing!"

"However, it is regrettable that he still lost! Because the most important thing about this matter is that the two people who must be sacrificed in the unjust case happened to be the master and senior brother of his beloved. Therefore, in the most stalemate At that moment, all the conflicts between the two were twisted together, and finally they fought together! His lover died brutally, and under his guilt, he couldn't bear his lover's death, so he allowed others to vindicate his injustice. The deceased did not die, but the murderer After all, he got away with it, and the chaos continued. After that, he was seriously injured and fell into a coma for half a month, and when he woke up, the world was turned upside down, and no one would be able to recover!"

"Heh - you said that such a person, should you call him a lover, or should you call him - a fool?! It's just one person who overthrows the world, doesn't it sound particularly funny?!"

His words were full of sarcasm, but there was a bit of pity in his eyes. He couldn't help but suddenly raised his head, took a few sips of wine, stabilized his emotions and continued.

"Actually, the most ridiculous thing was the third round. At this time, the two sides were evenly matched. They have been fighting for three years, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the situation is really good for him! Even if it takes another three to five years Years, the ending will definitely not change anything! However, what is unexpected is that at this final moment, it is he himself who has no more time, because this idiot has been tortured himself in the past three years, Seeing taboos growing wildly in his body, he just watched. Even later, when he saw his beloved resurrected, knowing that he couldn't get close to him, he still obediently sent him to the door, and entangled with that person several times, which was obviously heart-wrenching. , but he still sprinkled salt on his wounds over and over again! The final result—naturally handed the butcher knife that killed him into the hands of his old enemy!"

"You said this person——ha!" He stared into the distance, raised his head to drink, and smiled wryly.

"Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, thousands of miles of beacon smoke, half his life planning, half his life planning, but what makes people laugh is that he is obviously extremely smart, and he has clearly calculated all the tricks, but in the end... he actually handed over this great river and mountain. Playing my whole life...into an irreparable game of dead chess!"

"You said... this joke, is it funny?"

Cone Shengling kept his head down, listening to Ying Gong Haidou speaking softly in front of him, some long hair hanging down on his forehead, covering all the emotions in his eyes.This made the expression on his face look so dark and unclear.After a while, I heard him ask in a hoarse voice, his voice trembling slightly, inexplicably difficult, "Why did you tell me this?"

Kaidou Takamiya sighed, and stood up slowly, "Don't get me wrong! I'm here for Yuuki, and myself! Do you know? It took me three full years to get your shadow out of her heart , Instead, I don’t want everything to fall short! So now I come here to tell you this, in fact, it’s just to please her! Because you know, I’m not like that idiot, I will definitely let her know what I do for the person I love, And keep it deep in my heart!"

After saying these words, he started to walk towards the door, and when he was about to leave, he couldn't help but turn around and said the last sentence: "Oh! I forgot to tell you! If you really want to undo that curse seal, in fact It's very simple, just kill that person!"

Zhui Shengling frowned slightly, slightly puzzled, couldn't help but said: "You know, under the curse seal, I can't kill him..."

"Heh..." The man looked at him and laughed slightly, his tone full of pity and helplessness, "You know——when he won't let you kill him, you naturally can't touch a hair on him, but if he is willing to die before you In the hand, you can kill him easily! Don't you know this?"

These words made Zhui Shengling's face suddenly pale, and he suddenly remembered the scene that day, the man did not resist at all, and his hand had already touched his heart, but why did he tremble He is so powerful, why did he not go down for a long time?That person was interrupted halfway through what he said that day. What did he want to say to him?

If... If... He suddenly realized something in horror, couldn't help jumping up from the ground, grabbed Yinggong Haidou and asked sharply: "Tell me where he is now? I have something to say." ask him!"

Yinggong Haidou looked at his slightly red eyes, hesitated for a moment, but said softly with regret: "Maybe, it's too late now, it's just because you woke up too late, and there is no more Jiulan in this world." pivot!"
