Chapter 235: Chess Game (I)

Yanyan restrained his expression, raised his chin slightly, squinted his eyes and said slowly: "Are you so sure?"

"Not just now," Qin Jian's smile disappeared from his eyes, and he fiddled with the copper movable type in his hand unconsciously and said, "Now, it is confirmed."

"I've been to two places. Now here there are mountains and waters without outsiders to disturb me. It feels a bit familiar." Yanyan put aside the matter of the soul bottle and the Chongping chess map, smacking his lips as if recalling the past. "Do you still remember the dream I set up for you? I used a vast ocean to trap all your fire and ink."

"Of course, with Tsurugi Deer Park becoming the last isolated island, Miss Tan is an enemy that cannot be underestimated."

"Haha, it's the same with you and your friends." After a sneer, Yanyan began to recall everything that happened in just one day.

At first, He Si and Qin Jian were reminiscing about the past, enjoying flowers and brewing wine, without any worries, but Deng Chensha was veiled in the office and told Fan Yu that Qin Jian might have been occupied by another thought. Then, Fan Yu appeared between He Si and Qin Jian and lied to separate them, tricking one to Dunhuang and the other to the National Museum, with a group of people waiting for each of them, obviously to alienate them.

Sure enough, Qin Jian was trapped in absolute darkness before long, and Liu Rui's role in the National Museum also ended. What she said to He Si, from Zhou Qian who became an illusion with the help of dry bones, every blurry photo of Qin Jian, to the confessions of the victims in previous cases, were all carefully arranged by Yanyan herself, and presented to this team bit by bit, just like she had repeatedly tampered with He Si's dreams and used Song Zhaoxuan to cover up.

Later, Fan Yu was seriously injured. She knew that Qin Jian would not really kill Fan Yu, but with his temper, it was inevitable to teach Fan Yu a lesson. Deng Yizhi also appeared and pulled He Si into the darkroom. Yanyan did lose sight of He Si's movements for a moment, but the darkroom immediately lit up again. In order to prove Qin Jian's problem to He Si, Deng Yizhi and He Si stepped into the infinite together - it was the problem at that time, and Yanyan gradually came to her senses.

But at that time, she was overwhelmed by the upcoming victory. When He Si returned to reality and met with several people, Yanyan really thought that her plan had come true. So, she came to Qin Jian, rescued him from the darkness, watched him say goodbye to He Si, and then used the words she had prepared long ago to introduce Qin Jian into her own field - in order to make Qin Jian believe that her words, except for the content of separating Qin Jian and Deng Yizhi, were all true, including the method of obtaining lost memories.

But now she finally understood that Liu Rui's scene in the National Museum, the endless darkness deliberately created by Fan Yu and Lin Zhaohui, the darkroom and infinite illusions arranged by Deng Yizhi, were not to prevent Qin Jian, but for her. She thought everything was under control, but in the eyes of the other party, she was probably like a clown that night. Yanyan's face became more and more gloomy with this memory.

"Having seen the dark nature beneath the mirror's shiny surface, this plan is helpless."

"But I still don't understand," Yanyan didn't care about Qin Jian's sarcasm and asked seriously, "I have been observing you since the first case, and you have no time to communicate all this."

"Starting from a mirror, until walking in the world with the help of illusions, for such a long time, you don't have a friend you can trust?"

Yanyan's mouth moved, but no sound came out.

"When you are with people, you don't need to communicate about everything all the time. After a long time, you will have a tacit understanding. The world is like a chess game. There is not only an opponent in the game. On the contrary, it is more difficult to play chess with friends, because where you will make a move and why you will make a move have all been predicted from the first move. You don't understand, and you treat everyone in the world as an opponent, so you lose this game."

"It's the fragment of the Yaobian Tianmu lamp."

"That was just a signal for action. From the moment Yuan Yuan came back to life, your plan had already had a loophole." "Why?" Yan Yan was unconvinced. "You didn't see Yuan Yuan's death with your own eyes, so how can you be sure that she came back to life?"

"Because of Ah Si, she saw it, and I believed her."

"Humph," Yanyan snorted disdainfully, "But in her heart, I'm afraid she still misses Song Zhaoxuan."

"This is your second mistake," Qin Jian said, rarely proud. "A-Si told me that Song Zhaoxuan in the dream was very similar to me except for his face."

"so what?"

"That means someone has been disrupting Ah Si's gradually recovering memories. Her purpose in doing this is not only to divert our attention by pulling someone out, but also to prevent me or Ah Si from remembering the real young general - the original owner of the mirror. Right, Yanyan, I am your creator."

"So what?" Yanyan asked again, but this time, her voice was obviously much more sinister.

"I think this is why you planned all this. Although you protected the Panlong Mirror perfectly, the mirror still had problems. You were afraid that you would disappear like the Immortal Riding the Phoenix, so you targeted Xiao Shitou. They are obviously both spinal beasts, but they have different fates. You want to know why, but you can't find out from other aspects, so you have to personally participate in the case of the Inverted Guanyin. This is your third mistake, which has completely brought you into our sight."

"Yes, Suanni and I or that old man, we are the same kind of people," Yanyan stared straight at Qin Jian, his eyes red with anger, "but you are just a court official, but you can connect to the mirror realm, and He Si is just a student, but she can see the spirits of all things. Have you ever thought about why?"

"Why?"

Yanyan finally couldn't hide her anger anymore and roared, "You two, you and He Si, all your abilities come from me!"

Qin Jian's expression did not change at all because of her words. He just asked calmly, "Is this why you brought Ah Si into all this?"

"I only wanted to occupy your body, but there is no other way. You two will meet each other eventually. Even if I don't take action, you will meet each other eventually. I can only lure her into the trap in advance and use her half-awakened memory to set up a maze. Unfortunately..." Yanyan's eyes suddenly turned from sinister to sweet hope. "But it's okay. If my two masters can be absorbed by me in the mirror domain at the same time, that would be perfect."

"It was me who gave you everything, but in the end, it seems that we stole your abilities." Qin Jian's face darkened. "You are greedy and never satisfied."

Yanyan twisted her neck crazily, still staring at Qin Jian. She had observed for so long, planned for so long, and endured for so long, blocking Song Zhaoxuan and Yuan Yuan in front, watching everything slowly progress according to her ideas. She already knew the habits of everyone in this team, but even so, she still didn't act rashly, and used the inverted Guanyin as bait, both to explore the method of transformation and to buy time for herself who was injured after Guan Zihe's attack. Unexpectedly, she still fell into Qin Jian's trap - it couldn't be considered a trap. The craziness on Yanyan's face was replaced by a half-smile. The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. She had kept a trick for today's situation.
