In Guang's impression, the night of winning the title of Tianyuan was so long.It seems that it is longer than the chess game itself.

The snowflakes were flying, and I just stood outside the chess academy to take pictures, turning my head from time to time.Lights were always on in the windows of the observation room.For no reason, Guang thought of Liang's new first league.At that time, it was he and Zuo Wei standing in the window, watching the first snow falling on the ground outside the window.

Zuowei was playing chess with Taya Ryo, Taya had been looking forward to Zuowei for so long, it's only natural... Hikari said to himself over and over again, trying to suppress the anxiety in his heart.He absent-mindedly answered boring questions, waiting for a chess game upstairs that seemed to never end, and his heart became more and more anxious.

The place where the light stood happened to be an outlet.The coat was soiled by Mr. Cat, and he only wore a sweater. When the wind blew, the cold air of winter night poured into his neck.He involuntarily shivered slightly.

"I'm sorry, everyone, I'm pretty much done seeing this." Shinoda-sensei finally stepped forward and smoothed things over for Hikaru, "Shinto Chess player played very hard today, please let him go back early to rest, and I'll be interviewed by you another day Bar!"

The reporters expressed their understanding and dispersed from the entrance of the Chess Academy.Guang immediately circled his body and hid in the chess courtyard.Even the chess academy was full of chess players, everyone congratulated Guang and talked non-stop with "sai" and "sai".Guang really had no strength left, seeing Morishita-sensei walking towards him, as if he was going to drag him to ask what happened, he quickly dodged to the corridor.

Fortunately, there was no one in the corridor.The lights were dimmed, Guang heaved a sigh of relief, and ran up the steps step by step.

The hall of the Chess Academy was full of voices.But the person involved was in a quiet corridor separated by a wall.Light seems to have stepped into an alien world isolated from the world.All the sounds seemed to be separated by a layer, coming from the depths of distant time and space.Guang suddenly had a strange feeling, in this moment of extreme glory and hustle and bustle, he felt silence!

Turmoil, yet silence!

The brain froze, all the attacks and calculations on the chessboard were cleared, and the memory flooded out.Guang remembered that night, he ran upstairs to find Liang, who had finished the chess game. At that time, Liang stared at him with bright and gratified eyes.

Liang's voice was still in his ears: "Then catch up!"

"I'm catching up, Taya!" Hikari said softly, placing the folding fan in his hand on his chest, feeling his heart beating powerfully.

——Do you approve of me?

——Taya, have your focused eyes shifted from Sakai to me?

After running for an unknown amount of time, I finally saw the light source in the game room.When the light was about to reach the end, the corridor door was suddenly opened.

It turned out to be Taya Ryo.

The two fateful opponents suddenly met in the corridor, and they were both shocked.

Liang obviously never expected that Guang, who had just won the title, would suddenly appear in the empty corridor, and the expression on his face suddenly changed.Liang at this moment is absolutely unwilling to face the light, which is why he wants to walk the corridor.

The light is also a blank of the brain.Guang looked at Liang under the steps, only felt that Liang's expression was indescribably weird.Liang walked towards him with strides, and Guang tightly clenched his folding fan, feeling his palms were sweaty.

—Taya, what are you going to tell me?

Ryo lowered his head and walked down the stairs slowly.Just felt that if he didn't speak again, he would drown in the sound of his own violent heartbeat.He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Taya, I'm catching up to—"

However, before the words finished, Liang passed him by without even looking at him!

The light suddenly froze!

He-but-but-when-he-is-transparent!

How many times is this?How many times is this already? !He thinks he is transparent?

"Taya Ryo!" Hikari was furious.There were echoes in the corridor, unless Ta Yaliang suddenly became deaf, otherwise, he couldn't hear it!

Liang finally stood still.He turned around, his face was expressionless, his blue eyes were like two bottomless ice pools: "What?"

Light felt terrified for no reason.It was that kind of absolute zero voice, without any ups and downs, not even Liang's usual polite perfunctory.

"You—you have nothing to say to me?" Guang heard his own voice dry.What Liang was thinking, Guang seemed to understand, but also didn’t seem to understand, it was this kind of uncertainty that made Guang particularly anxious, he couldn’t help but raise the volume, “I’m Tianyuan now!”

Guang heard Liang's inaudible sneer.His voice is still soft: "Really, did you do it yourself?"

Guang was startled—what did he mean? !

However, Liang continued: "There won't be a soul or monster that I can't see, by your side?"

Guang's heart was shaken, and his complexion turned white again.He stared at Ryo in disbelief.Liang looked at him coldly, as if Guang, who had just received his title, was nothing more than an insignificant outcast.

For a moment, Light was completely speechless.After a long, long time, he moved his lips and regained his language: "...Natori...do you know about Natori?"

There was no answer, Ryo just ignored him.

Under that gaze, Guang felt that all his blood had disappeared without a trace.What did Natori say?Did you tell about Zuo Wei's possession?And Natsume and Kitty-sensei?

"You can 'see' just like your cousin, can't you?" Liang said softly, as if whispering in a dream, "The two chess games you and I met for the first time were not played by you, right?"

"Yes." Suddenly there was a detached sadness in Guang's heart, the most secret page was completely opened, and Guang's whole portrait was hollowed out from the inside out, "The two games of chess were played by Zuo Wei—— It's the ghost of the Heian era. After it attached to Honinbo Hidetaku, it attached to me. He left four years ago, so I was not defeated for a while. Later, Xia... my friend used a special method to make him become Humans—Taya! You believe me! Except for those two rounds, I played every round with you by myself!! Taya, I—”

I can't go on talking.Because of the bright, not listening.He is not listening.

"Liar." A word slowly came out of Liang's mouth.

Guang's brain slammed, his internal organs were frozen, and even his bones were cold.

——Taya Ryo, I never lied to you!Not even an iota!

——Because only you, I don't want to cheat!

Liang looked at the speechless Guang, and a deep self-mockery flashed in his green eyes.Natori's confession, as well as the round with Fujiwara Saku just now, made Ryo almost confirm that the self many years ago was indeed fooled.The so-called pursuit of Hikari Shinto when he was young was a scam.Liang still counted on Guang to deny all of this, as long as Guang said otherwise, he would believe it—but, who could deny the only truth?

Liang once wanted to ask Guang to come out and explain. On the first day Sai appeared, Liang sent him a text message: "I am waiting for your replay at the club." However, Guang did not reply for a long time.Ryo waited all night in the Go clubhouse, thinking about the two games when he first met, and Natori's words, he couldn't find a more reasonable explanation than this.The more he reasoned, the more anxious and angry he became.This is simply the worst insult to Liang's self-esteem.Although Guang chased after him, he had indeed fooled himself back then.

Ryo hoarse voice: "Shito Hikari, how could I regard you as a liar as an opponent?"

Hikaru took a few steps back, his heart crushed like a shattered army.He was already reluctant to say a word-God knows how hard it took him not to punch that familiar face.Such an accusation has already torn up the spirit of the youthful success.Light felt a deep pain.Something broke between him and Ryo.Friends, and fateful rivals...

"Taya Ryo, I will never play chess with you again, never again!"

As Guang said, he took out the mobile phone that Liang gave him as a birthday present from his backpack.He had used it to discuss countless chess games with Ryo when the two were not in the same city.

Hikaru turned around and slammed the phone to the ground with all his strength.The entire corridor is full of metal clanging.
