Kicked out of Rhodes Island, a small quilt was covered in the hole of the Longmen Bridge

315 Long time no see, sister Ling

"How about playing a game with me first?"

A certain 'existence' residing in the wine cup sat in front of the chessboard table, inviting Bai Hua with an indistinct smile on his face.

Obviously this guy is the real driver of everything, and Si Suitai's actions may have something to do with him in a sense.

Facing the other party's invitation, Bai Hua just smiled slightly.

"Well, sorry, I'm not very good at Go."

Then he rubbed his hair embarrassingly.

"It's okay, I can—"

"Otherwise, let's play O State Kill! I guarantee that Sheng will destroy those who violate the territory of Great Wu. If you dare to invade, you will be defeated!"

"...?"

The mysterious shadow froze for a moment, probably he had never prepared a triple O kill card before, so he didn't know how to respond to Bai Hua's suggestion for a while.

On the other side, Bai Hua unhurriedly rubbed out a set of cards with empty hands. It seems that because this world and Xi's picture scroll and Ling's dream are somewhat similar, Bai Hua is used to being in these two worlds. Self-taught, actively mastered the ability to create something.

"By the way, I also picked out the O-player king. If you are fighting against the dark, you can also try it. The loser will be kicked out!"

Holding a bunch of messy cards in his hand, Bai Hua talked about it with some enthusiasm for some reason.

"Oh—it sounds good."

Although Shadow was a little dazed at first, he quickly followed Bai Hua's pace, put the chessboard aside, and took the various cards that Bai Hua handed over.

I don't know how long it has passed, maybe a few hours, or more than ten hours.The time in the fantasy world doesn’t mean much to the reality. The 300-plus days in Poshan Town and the several months of defending the frontier at Yumen Pass are nothing more than a nap in reality. Not in a hurry.

"Well, it's really difficult. Not only is the distance to be considered, but also every time you draw. I always like this. I am too dull and slow to learn new things."

Shadow sighed and said, judging from the cards on the table, he also lost this game without accident.

"Although I want to comfort you with 'everyone is like this in the beginning', this is the third time I've told you that this game doesn't just make four cards of the same suit and you can be king..."

Bai Hua sighed and said.

"Let's go to each other. I also said before that the so-called Go is not a rule that can be eliminated by connecting five together."

"..." "..."

Bai Hua and Ying Ying glanced at each other, and they seemed to be refusing to give an inch to each other, with a posture of 'you are better at it'.

"Forget it, anyway, I really don't know how to play chess, so you can laugh at me if you want to! Anyway, I never went to school, let alone such a high-level entertainment!"

In the end, it was Bai Hua who got impatient first, and he directly turned on the badass mode, with an attitude of 'I'm just a low-educated person who plays Go as a game of fun, what can you do to me'.

"It's just meaningless entertainment. The chess game itself can't represent anything, just like those wonderful card games you created."

Soi Ying shrugged his shoulders, but did not comment sharply on Bai Hua's cultural papermaking level.

"So what exactly do you want to do, Mister Sombra?"

It's meaningless, but let's just say that it made Bai Hua realize that he was really playing a piece of shit. After the short game, Bai Hua sat in front of the table and looked at the black shadow, no longer beating around the bush and directly asking the other party.

"Hmm...'Stinky Chess Basket', that's good to call me. Ling sometimes calls me by this name. To her, I have indeed lost too many chess games."

Soi Ying spoke out his code name, but it was still a blurry shadow in Bai Hua's line of sight.

"It sounds weird, so Mr. Chess, what kind of chess game do you want to set up when you use Shangshu as a chessboard? The current situation of Shangshu must be related to you. After all, there are too many coincidences to a certain extent. become inevitable."

Bai Hua looked at the stinky chess basket, picked up a white character on the chessboard and asked.Facing Bai Hua's questioning, the other party just smiled slowly, got up and stretched out his left hand to Bai Hua.

"However, there is no real necessity in this world. Your existence is the source of all 'accidents'. How about this—"

The palm of the stinking chess basket was about to touch the hair on Bai Hua's forehead, but before that, he was slapped away by the white furry claws that suddenly appeared.

"Don't think about this wolf cub, he's mine."

"Huh, rice grains?"

Bai Hua was stunned for a moment, the giant wolf that had always appeared in his mind in the form of "consciousness" before, this time it appeared directly behind him for some reason, although the size was much smaller than in his conscious memory However, the pair of blue wolf pupils, the sharp claws reflecting the cold light and the steel-like hair are still oppressive and chilling.

"That's right - size! Why don't you call me by my name properly when there are other ants around? Sure enough, it's on purpose!"

With a bang, the giant wolf's claws could not help but stick to the back of Bai Hua's head first, and directly shot half of Bai Hua into the chessboard.

"My tolerance for your persistent attempt to capture the consciousness of wolf cubs is limited—residue, you want to come here to fight against the enemy with your appearance of being inferior to ants, what kind of third-rate nonsense joke."

The giant wolf looked at the stinky chess basket in front of him, his tone full of disdain and threat.

"That's... interesting. I thought you'd already been hunted, giant wolf."

Heiying seemed to know the giant wolf in front of him, he said with a slightly surprised expression.

"Ha, who will die before devouring everything in this world? You are the dregs that look like you are lingering. It makes me sick just looking at it."

The giant wolf didn't give an inch and continued to mock the fragments of age in front of him.

"Huh? Do you know each other?"

Bai Hua moved his eyes back and forth curiously, looking at the giant wolf and then at the black shadow.

"I'm not interested in understanding this kind of ants. It's good for you to feel like a neighbor who lives downstairs, wolf cub. I know 'maybe there is such a thing', but maybe I will never meet again, even whether the other party It takes tens or hundreds of years to realize it by accident—and this guy is the kind of annoying kid who lives downstairs and doesn’t know what he’s going to do every now and then.”

The giant wolf looked at the stinky chess basket, and said with a whiff of white mist from the corner of his mouth.

"Uh... Sure enough, I don't understand how the giants get along with each other. Anyway, thank you for helping me out, Fenrir. But I don't think he should have any reason to try to win me now— What exactly have you done, and what is your purpose, Mr. Qilu?"

Bai Hua interrupted the somewhat incomprehensible conversation between the two behemoths, and changed the topic back to the purpose of the stinky chess basket.

"Of course I'm playing chess, I just want to find an opponent to play a game with me, that's all."

The black shadow shrugged, and said in a light tone.

"Hey, wolf cub, can I swallow this guy? Although I can't even fill the teeth, but at least it can stop him from being so noisy."

The giant wolf gritted his teeth impatiently and said.

"Of course not...! I still need to rely on Mr. Qilan to find Sister Ling, and the reason for doing so is not clear—in short, although the flow of time in the conscious world is relatively slow, I don't want to do this again. It's meaningless to wear away, Mr. Chess."

Bai Hua quickly calmed the giant wolf's emotions, and then refocused her eyes on the fragments of the age in front of her, which in a sense were "Ling's family".

"It seems that your desire to pursue the 'truth' is very strong. Don't worry, boy. I just hope that before everything comes to an inevitable end, I have arranged some dispensable chess pieces, and I initially The one that falls is you."

"...Are you talking about letting me meet Sister Ling? I remember very clearly that I entered Sister Ling's dream by mistake while looking at the wine cup."

Bai Hua remembered the big dream she had on the off-road vehicle before she and Jingzhe were going to Shangshu on the eve of Jingzhe. At the same time, that dream was also the beginning of the "karma" that allowed her to make her dream about herself.

"Is it a coincidence or necessity? Who knows, even I am not a real chess player, and there is no so-called 'chessboard' in everything in the world. Everything is just drifting with the flow. Occasionally, there may be a flash of good skill , but more often than not, it’s nothing more than meaningless mediocrity.”

The stinky chess basket grabbed a handful of chess pieces and dropped them directly on the board. Most of the chess pieces fell below the board, and many chess pieces did not land at the junction of the chessboard at all. Only a few chess pieces were thrown casually. After that, it landed in a fairly good position.

"Where is Sister Ling? What are you planning now?"

Bai Hua wiped out all the black and white characters on the chessboard, he was not interested in continuing to discuss the topic of chess, but directly asked the smelly chess basket why he came here.

"Heh...you're really impatient, young man."

The stinky chess basket snapped its fingers, and the scattered chess pieces returned to their respective chess baskets, neatly stacked next to the chessboard on the solid wooden table.

"You should be very clear about the 'year fragments'. I am the 'second brother' among the fragments, but even so, among the 12 brothers and sisters, the only ones who have a better relationship with me are Xiaomi—and Ling."

"Because of this, I can try to change, or there are not many people who can play a game with me. Ling can barely be counted as one. My brother and I think differently. He thinks that Ling can 'travel around' is also a This kind of life destination, as long as you are free and easy, you can not be interfered by 'years' - my brother and I have different ideas."

The smelly chess basket picked up a chess piece and held it in the palm of his hand, but he didn't put it on the chessboard, but kept playing with it in his hand.

"The existence and approach of [Sui] is real, and Nian and Xi are in constant panic because of this, which is certainly sad, but if you choose to travel in the mountains and rivers, you will be able to "Sui" by relying on a big dream. Complete elimination? This is even more unrealistic."

The stinky chess basket tightly held the chess pieces in his hand, although he still couldn't see his face clearly, but Bai Hua could sense some kind of anger, as well as self-blame and mockery towards himself that was almost masochistic.

Something seems to have happened to him, and that incident may be the reason for the "stinky chess basket" to rearrange the chess game this time.

"It's unrealistic, it's too unrealistic, Nian and Xi are too naive and immature, but Ling chooses an escape called 'free and easy'-I can't let this continue, Ling must be aware of this. But After all, she is too free and easy, and the casual advice of the eldest brother has become so "smooth", which is beyond my expectation. So...hehe, so I must use some methods to create for her free and easy Some small [notches] will do."

Smelly Chess Basket looked at Bai Hua, and it was obvious that the so-called 'gap' he was talking about was the gray wolf boy in front of him who had come to play chess with him.

"Tear brake——!"

"... Fenrir!?"

A stinging 'hurricane' flashed across the body, and the black shadow who was holding the chess piece in front of him was suddenly bitten and torn off the entire arm.

The giant wolf behind Bai Hua swallowed the stumped arm, and looked at the stinky chess basket even more cruelly.

"It's really disgusting, self-righteously involving other people in the incident. The purpose is just to mess with your family. Stop talking nonsense here, and tell the wolf cub honestly, where is the other fragment? Otherwise, you will learn how to play chess with your toes in the future."

The giant wolf stared viciously at the stinking chess basket with blue vertical pupils. Rather than saying it was a 'threat', it was more like explaining the facts. It seemed that the giant wolf itself was extremely disdainful of the stinky chess basket's behavior of involving other people in it.

"—Go to the tavern on the mountainside of Sunchaser Peak, Ling should be there, and you will meet soon."

The black shadow whose left arm was torn off was not very shocked, as if it was not his own arm that was torn off, but a chopstick that was no longer needed.

However, the stinking chess basket did not continue to 'explain' - just as the giant wolf said, his actions may be difficult for the gray wolf boy to understand, and all he has to do at this moment is to inform the other party of Ling's whereabouts , let him reach the endgame of the chessboard, that's all.

In the final analysis, the issue of 'years', 'family', and how to deal with 'finality', all of these have nothing to do with that gray wolf. 'Where is the existence.

But it was also because of this that the stinking chess basket chose to arrange this chess game for Bai Hua.

"The tavern on the Sunset Peak...I see, Mr. Chess. Although I still don't understand your motives...but if you are really thinking about your sister, then I won't pursue it—let's go, Fenli you."

After knowing the address of Ling now, Bai Hua didn't continue to ask about the purpose of the stinky chess basket, but turned around without hesitation and directly tore apart the space, leaving from this constructed space.

After the gray wolf and the giant wolf left the room, the incomplete stinky chess basket raised the chess piece again with its remaining right hand, and began to play alone on the chessboard.

"We'll see each other soon—not only He Ling, but also my two worried sisters."

"I can see your performance in Huiqi Mountain, young man. If it were you... you should be able to do things that I have never been able to accomplish."

The stinky chess basket dropped the white characters on the chessboard, staring at the empty chess game thoughtfully.

the other side--

"Cough cough puwa!"

Bai Hua woke up from the dream, and before she even had a good grasp of the surrounding situation, she immediately faced a big fight.

"Finally woke up, it's really scary!"

"Uh, you, are you awake?"

"……what happened?"

Bai Hua got up from the bench beside her in a daze, her cheeks felt a little hot, but the reason for the hotness should not be that she and Du Yaoye met each other's eyes at close range, but that Miss Du had just retracted it and was still a little red. right hand.

"Well, I saw that you, Bai Hua, didn't move at all. You didn't even heave your chest like you were dead. It was really scary! That's why I wanted to wake you up quickly. Fortunately, you didn't burp, otherwise I wouldn't have done it. Have you killed the person who appointed the employer!"

On the contrary, Du Yaoye, the young leader of the Escort, said with a little fear, but her reaction made Bai Hua a little curious about what happened to him after entering the dream world.

"Also...Miss Midnight?"

Bai Hua looked at Ye Midan, the beast master behind her, who was rubbing her tail with both hands.

"Oh, I'm giving you a CPR massage~"

"Whose heart and lungs will grow there!"

Bai Hua complained loudly.

In short, according to Du Yaoye's words, Bai Hua did not lose consciousness for a long time this time, and it took less than 5 minutes, but from Du Yaoye's perspective, Bai Hua in these 5 minutes was like After death, he became stiff and motionless, so it's no wonder that Du Yaoye gave Bai Hua a big mouth in a panic to prevent Bai Hua from really belching.

Because it hasn't been long since entering the conscious world this time, Bai Hua figured out the current situation without much effort.

"Just now, I would like to thank Miss Du for your concern, and also thank you for not stealing the wine cup back in the middle of the night."

Bai Hua looked at the two girls and nodded in thanks.

"Hmph, after all, you are still the client. Of course I have to be responsible. The other guy really didn't pay attention to drinking the cup at all. He has been studying your body. To be honest... it's quite infiltrating."

Du Yaoye put his hands on his hips and snorted softly, but he seemed a little embarrassed when talking about it in the middle of the night.

"After all, if you think about it carefully, my employer just asked me to steal the wine cup from Liang's mansion, and didn't say where to send it, so even if I put it on your side, my salary will not be deducted. I can study this kind of wine well." What kind of method is used to maintain the hair, this is the so-called win-win~”

In the middle of the night, he said cheerfully that although Bai Hua only took a break for 5 minutes, it was also time for a real song in the middle of the night.

"Ahaha... In short, I have obtained the information I want here, Miss Du, just leave it to me to do it myself."

Bai Hua laughed, then looked at Du Yaoye and said.

"You come by yourself?"

"Well, after all—this was a 'date' I didn't make it to."

Bai Hua smiled, then put the wine cup into her pocket, and was about to go to Sun Chaser Peak to say the words that were almost a hundred years late.
