Darkening Guardian Knight

Suddenly, Kate seemed to understand something, and her two black jewel-like eyes glowed again.

"White King, you may be disappointed." Kate's voice was unprecedentedly cold, exuding an aura like absolute zero from her body, "I don't intend to lose this game of chess!"

No.20 Instant change

"The lack of computing power is actually because you are not devoted enough."

This voice sounded from the bottom of my heart, like a sharp sword, cold and iron-blooded, but it pointed directly at the core of the problem, trying to cut off the confusion in Kate's heart cleanly.

"This voice, and this feeling...is a little familiar." Kate recalled for a while, and then laughed, "I see, this is the voice of "Kate".So, you are the original, or the real "Kate Christian", right? "

"Did you notice it?" The voice from the bottom of my heart saw that Kate had seen through her real body, so she no longer concealed it, and admitted generously, "It seems that your disguise method has been cultivated to a certain level, otherwise you would not be aware of my existence."

Kate said: "So what kind of existence are you? According to Assas, you should be dead."

"Your question, I can't give an accurate answer." Kate said, living in the bottom of my heart, "I am just a creation, a residue similar to a soul fragment, which is different from the main body after all, I did not inherit her integrity I don’t know what the body is in now. The reason why I can appear in your heart now is entirely due to the special nature of this spiritual world.”

"You mean, your appearance is related to this spiritual world?" Kate asked.

"It's not wrong." Kate's soul fragment said with certainty, "I vaguely remember what important secrets are hidden here, but I can't remember the specifics. Probably at the beginning of creating this spiritual world, my body arranged everything, so I woke up like this."

"The real Kate, is she strong?" As Kate listened, she always felt that something was wrong.

Shouldn't Kate be a girl about her own age?

Why is it said to be as secretive as some big shots?

"In a sense, my body is really strong." Kate's soul fragment said, "Although her real realm is only at the top level among her peers, she has many precious and magical skills. So her strength is very deep. To put it bluntly, she has no rivals among her peers!"

"Oh, do you rely on secret methods to strengthen yourself...it's quite similar to me." Kate was a little touched.

Because under the subtle influence of the disguise method, she somehow knew what kind of person the real Kate might be.

So I will imitate her unconsciously, so it is inevitable to feel similar.

"Oops! My remaining strength seems to be getting weaker and weaker, and it seems that I don't have time to talk to you anymore." Kate's soul fragment seemed to sense something suddenly, and said hurriedly, "Listen, you are here The talent in calculation is definitely stronger than the person sitting opposite you, but you haven't devoted yourself to it, and he has mastered the peerless method in this area and has rich experience, so there is a gap."

"Not fully committed? Impossible!" Kate said depressedly, "I was racking my brains to think of countermeasures, and I didn't let go at all!"

In terms of the calculation of the chess game, she can't take another step forward, even half a step is powerless.She clearly felt that this was indeed her limit.

"No!" Kate's soul fragment said categorically, "You haven't realized the potential of camouflage—you haven't used the wisdom that belongs to me!!"

"Wisdom that belongs to the real Kate?" Kate was stunned. This was something she had never thought about before. "The camouflage method... can even completely disguise a person's intelligence?"

"Exactly! This is the mystery of the camouflage method!" Kate's soul fragment said boldly, "If you practice this method to the extreme, not only the appearance, posture and thinking intelligence, but also the magic attribute, vigor attribute, and even the power of the blood can be changed! That kind of state can be called an excellent camouflage!"

"It seems that my practice is far from enough." Kate said with emotion, "Then how can I learn to fake the real Kate's intelligence?"

"In the past, practitioners of camouflage required painstaking practice, and it took a long time to understand the truth. But now there is not enough time, so I have to take a shortcut. Let me let you understand the wisdom of "I"! "

As Kate's soul fragment said, it suddenly turned into a ray of colorless light and bloomed from the bottom of Kate's heart, setting off a wave of thinking in her mind.

From Kate's perception, this wave seems to enlighten her, widening the path in front of her eyes—many things that were previously invisible have now become clear!

"It turns out... the real Kate would think like this!" With the help of soul fragments, Kate finally understood and learned the real Kate's way of thinking.

It is an extremely efficient way of thinking, not rigid, in complex and intelligent planning, with the skill of simplifying, so that it can see a longer term.

"You seem to understand, great, my existence is not in vain..."

Suddenly, Kate seemed to hear the echo of the soul fragment echoing in her ears.

She nodded gratefully, but her face became more and more cold.

This is Kate's style.

……

The conversation hidden in the bottom of my heart was actually completed in an instant. When Kate returned her attention to the chess game again, her eyes only glanced briefly, and she understood why the White King would declare her defeat.

"I see... the problem lies in the No. 20 move, because the previous move will lead to insufficient defense in the follow-up, giving White a chance to take advantage of it. However, this is not fatal! My chess pieces have not been completely defeated yet! "

After digesting the soul fragments of the real Kate, she was almost completely reborn. Her vision and mentality were completely different, and her calculation depth was far beyond the past. In just a few minutes, she found a way to save her.

"White King, you may be disappointed."

Kate's voice was unprecedentedly cold, exuding an aura like absolute zero from her body.

"I don't intend to lose this game of chess!"

No.20 A Draw

"Is it an illusion? Her aura suddenly changed."

The White King frowned.According to his calculations, if the game continues, he should be sure to win, and it will be difficult to be overturned.

But Kate so confidently threatened to change the defeat, he couldn't help but wondered: "Since you can say such a thing, it means that you should already know your own disadvantages? I just want to know, what do you use to make a comeback? "

The advancing knight of the black-haired girl will become a prison that traps herself. As long as she continues to attack, she will definitely be able to take down her king.

Although she is not without help, but in order to make up for this mistake, she must sacrifice important combat power——

Maybe it's a knight, maybe it's a bishop—in any case, her disadvantage is irreversible!

"An Xin, King of White." The girl glanced at the King of White coldly, and said, "You can just watch what I do."

Stared at by those cold eyes, the King of White felt a trace of fear in his heart for a moment!

Although the White King stabilized his lofty posture with his mature spiritual strength, he was unavoidably surprised by Kate's abnormality.

"Hey, what's going on? Why did you suddenly become a different person?"

The previous Kate made him feel that she was just an ordinary iceberg beauty.

But at this time, Kate showed a queen-like temperament, as if everything was under her control.

She calmly lifted up the soldiers, along the battle line, easily withstood the White King's attack.

But this is still in the calculation of the White King, he secretly laughed in his heart, and said to himself: "What, it really is an illusion. That's right, how could there be a problem with my calculation?"

He confirmed the route he had calculated and ensured that there was nothing wrong with it, and then he confidently followed the original plan to drive the girl into a desperate situation step by step.

The subsequent development of the situation was as he expected. Under the swift and fierce offensive, Kate had to defend continuously and was severely suppressed.

"Although the moves she chose are all the best solutions under the current situation, but the mistake of that move is fatal!" The White King played the chess leisurely, with smooth movements and no hesitation.

The script of victory has been written, and then it can be done at leisure.

"Do you think you are sure to win?" Just when the White King was smug, Kate said out of nowhere, startling him.

"Ah, you still can't see your defeat?" The White King sneered, "I thought the chess game had reached this point, and you should be able to find out—the fact that black has lost power."

"I did go astray in that step, which gave you a chance. If possible, it would be better to be on the defensive at that time."

Kate honestly admitted her mistake, "But I won't lose immediately, at least I can entangle you for a few rounds."

"Unnecessary struggle." The White King sneered, "You can tell at a glance that your black chess is lacking in combat power and has a loose formation, just like a porcelain doll, which will shatter when touched. But my white chess is in order, Both offensive and defensive, there is no reason to lose."

"You're right. I was too naive before, and actually thought of using the inferior black chess to attack a strong player like you."

Kate was very frank, with a calm tone, "Your chess moves are very stable and airtight, so I can't even find a way to attack."

"Hey, so you're going to surrender to me?" The White King said proudly, "Let me just say, if you are aware of the development behind this game, you definitely don't want to waste time. It's better to just surrender. "

"You misunderstood, what I mean is, you did a good job, I don't have any chance to attack. But this doesn't mean I admit defeat." Kate bluntly denied, "I can't win this game, and you can't win either."

"You want to fight for a draw?" The White King asked in surprise, "How can you force me to draw with a loss of combat power and a bad situation? Anyway, I don't see any chance for you."

"Really? That only shows that you are nothing more than that." Kate said unceremoniously, "Look out, the next game will be outside your pre-reading range!"

After she finished speaking, she lifted the black king and moved the king up one space lightly.

"What?! How can you go like this?!"

The White King was shocked, as Kate said, this move was indeed beyond his expectations!

"The king takes the lead? What are you trying to do..." The White King was a little confused, "Her knight is still being watched by me. If you want to escape from the king, wouldn't you just send the knight to me?"

"Is there a trap? No, I watched a few steps, and I didn't think killing the knight would pose any threat to me."

The White King calculated in his mind for a while, and he was sure that what Kate fed him was not poison, but he was even more puzzled, "No matter how you look at it, I have an overwhelming advantage here... Who cares, I can only eat it."

At this time, the White King didn't have much choice, he had to eat the knight.Because otherwise, once Kate consolidates the defense line and protects all the chess pieces, the disadvantaged one will become him who attacks blindly.

"Sure enough, it was eaten." Seeing that the White King had eaten his own knight honestly, Kate nodded slightly, as if she had expected this situation a long time ago.

"Okay, it seems that I'm as good as you expected, but what are you going to do? Little girl." The White King became a little curious, "In the case of a serious shortage of combat power, what can black do to be able to fight?" Vitality? Let me see!"

No.20 Draw in two quarters

"Ah."

Kate responded to the White King's provocation softly, without any nervousness.

She steadily drove out her chariot and began to rebuild black's defense.

But for the White King, her behavior at this moment is just a dying struggle.

She has lost the black knight who is an important combat force, and she is already a dying candle.No matter how powerful the defense is built, it will be as fragile as paper, and it will be broken at the first poke.

"It's almost time to surrender, isn't it?" The King of White boredly transported the bishop of white chess to the attack line, and yawned, "You should have figured it out. After that, as long as I get rid of your queen, you won't be able to turn around at all."

"But you can't get past my queen." Kate said with certainty, "Even if I lose a knight, I can keep it!"

"Big words." Bai Zhiwang took it as a joke, and wanted to resist his offensive without a knight, who did this girl think she was.

He admitted that Kate had performed very well before, but it was a pity that she met himself—a Xeon who couldn't make mistakes!

The White King calmly adjusted the positions of his pieces, without revealing any flaws, and perfectly operated the white formation.

As he said, he didn't intend to leave any chance for Kate to fight back, and he wanted to win with an absolute advantage.

Kate defended cautiously, but in the eyes of the White King, the behavior of resisting with that kind of tattered formation is simply walking a tightrope, and it may collapse at any time.

"However, this move really stumps me... White wants to attack but can't make it. It's very uncomfortable."

The White King said sadly, "I hate this kind of tenacious and meaningless battle the most."

"Meaningless? No." Kate said while playing chess, "Now is the critical moment of the game!"

"That may be the case for you." The White King shrugged and said irrelevantly, "But for me who is firmly in the upper hand, there is no need to engage in boring games with you."

"Ah, if you think this way, you may not even be able to sue for peace." After finishing speaking, Kate pulled out her chariot and started to attack the opponent's front line!

"Attack at this time... what does she want to do?!" The White King was surprised at first, because he never thought that Kate would have the courage to attack him at this time.

But when he observed carefully, he soon discovered her intentions.

"Oh, so it was a feint attack." He roughly estimated the future after six or seven steps, and it was obvious that Kate didn't really want to attack.

After all, with the impregnable defense of the White King, Kate's semi-crippled combat power alone is impossible to capture.

Kate's purpose is to disrupt his formation and create a chance to survive.

After reading the information of the chess game in depth, the White King realized that the current situation of black chess is more serious than he judged at the beginning. will lead to failure.

At this moment, ordinary tactics and routines cannot save black chess. In order to continue to struggle, Kate has to accurately predict everything that will happen after every step, and every step has to pave the way for its next step, the next move, and even dozens of steps in the future!

"Hey, hey, do you want to be so brave?" The White King couldn't help but feel ashamed when he understood this, "I'm trying to hold on even when I'm so disadvantaged. You're working too hard..."

"It's not considered tough, come on, it's your turn." Kate replied calmly.

"Since you want to continue, I don't mind sticking with you to the end." The White King suddenly admired Kate, and it was someone else.

When such a disadvantage is foreseen in advance, it may have given up long ago.But Kate not only did not give up, but also took dozens of foreshadowing steps one after another, which is amazing.

"First feinted to lure me to exchange pieces, and then I made a small pawn that got in the way by giving up first, and slightly adjusted the layout of the pieces to make the formation conducive to protracted battles, while retaining several obvious offensive methods... very powerful Ah, every step is the optimal solution."

The White King praised, "But this is a move that can only be completed by pre-reading that consumes a lot of brainpower and time. Can you maintain this state for a long time?"

"So-so," Kate said, making another quick move.

She didn't take a lot of time for each step as the White King said. On the contrary, she moved so fast at this time, it seemed that she didn't need to think.

The two continued to play chess and fought fiercely, but because both sides were wary of each other, they were very conservative.So it was only occasional small-scale friction and fire, and no large-scale fighting was caused.

Up to now, Kate has spent 10 minutes out of the four 29-minute time limit, of which two 10 minutes were consumed at the beginning of the prologue and the middle game.

But now she seems to have entered the state, although the thinking time for each step will not exceed 30 seconds, but she can always get stuck on the key points of the White King, as if tightening his belt, making him extremely uncomfortable .

The white king took more and more time to answer the chess. Originally, he only spent 8 minutes in the preface.
