An Qingyu walked to the chessboard and stared down at the scattered chess pieces, wondering what he was thinking.
"What? The soul's injury has recovered?"
Lin Qiye's voice came from inside the house. He opened the door and looked at An Qingyu in front of the chessboard.
Of course, Lin Qiye did not rest. In his current state, if his soul was not injured like An Qingyu, he would not need sleep to recover. He sat cross-legged in the room and meditated just because he devoted all his energy to Chi Angel's clone.
When he heard An Qingyu get up, he immediately regained some of his consciousness.
He wanted to communicate with An Qingyu as much as possible. Only in this way could he get more information.
An Qingyu didn't look up at him, but just stared at the chessboard and said slowly: "You want to imitate my chess moves... Unfortunately, you can only imitate seven images."
"Yeah?"
Lin Qiye walked to the chessboard and sat down. He waved his hand and put all the chess pieces into the basket. "You are right. After all, I am not you. No matter how I imitate it, it will only be in vain... Instead of playing chess with the imaginary you, why not It’s easy to play against real people.”
An Qingyu said calmly, "We have fought many times, haven't we?"
"Those games in the courtyard of Shangjing, your thinking was blocked, so of course they can't be counted as real games... That game in the hospital, you and I both knew what the purpose was, and we couldn't count it. After all, we didn't actually have a real game. Pass."
An Qingyu glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and sat down opposite Lin Qiye.
"I'm very busy. This chess game may be the last one."
"The last round..."
Lin Qiye moved the chess basket containing the white pieces in front of him, "It's the same for me."
"Did you get the white piece this time?"
"I took the black stone before because I was the first mover... Now, it is meaningless who is the first mover." Lin Qiye held a white stone and gently dropped it somewhere on the chessboard.
An Qingyu looked at the black chess basket in front of him and nodded slightly, "Yes."
He picked up a black piece and dropped it close to Lin Qiye's white piece.
"Do you know what I was thinking when I was playing chess alone here yesterday?" Lin Qiye said while playing chess.
"What?"
"I'm thinking that our two bodies are actually in this courtyard. We can see each other every day. We are so close that it's like attending a school summer camp... But we can affect the entire world through our respective avatar games. situation.
The world is so big that the Supreme God can only be regarded as a chess piece in it; the world is so small that the final outcome can be decided on this square inch of chessboard. "
An Qingyu narrowed his eyes, looked up at Lin Qiye, and said unhurriedly:
"Of course it's okay if you compare the world to a chessboard... However, if you use the game on this chessboard as the basis for determining victory or defeat, you may never win."
Lin Qiye's hand paused.
He frowned and looked into An Qingyu's eyes, and asked in a deep voice:
"You mean...the thing that determines victory or defeat is not on this chessboard?"
"The world is small, and the chessboard is also small... Some things are bigger than them, and much bigger." An Qing fished the white piece trapped in it, and threw it to the outside of the chessboard. "Chess, is A game between chess pieces, but a game... is just a game."
Lin Qiye thought about An Qingyu's words and was about to continue his move, but An Qingyu stood up and walked out of the courtyard.
"The chess game hasn't finished yet, where are you going?" Lin Qiye asked.
"The chess outside has not been played, and the moves on the chessboard will naturally have no ending..."
An Qingyu returned to the edge of the foggy wall, swiped lightly with his fingertips, and the fog suddenly spread to both sides, leaving a way to leave, "I will continue to make my move, but not here."
As the black shadow disappeared into the mist, the entire courtyard became peaceful again.
Lin Qiye sat alone by the chessboard, looking at the black and white endgame in front of him, lost in thought.
…
Mist.
A giant black shadow stepped on the waves and swept across the sea like lightning.
Lina stood on Fenrir's back, staring ahead. The strong wind blew the corners of her clothes away. As if she remembered something, she took out a mask from her arms and put it on, covering her face.
As the demon wolf Fenrir flew rapidly, the outline of an island emerged from the mist.
This island is not big. As long as you fly up into the sky, you can see the complete outline of the coastline. In the center of this dead and bare island, an ancient volcanic crater stands tall.
Lina rode Fenrir and jumped up from the edge of the coast. She flew over the crater and slid straight down.
The darkness continued to rise around Lina. After a moment, a white light emerged from the bottom. She and Fenrir ran into the white light. When the light faded, they had arrived in the middle of a desert.
Lina simply identified the direction and continued moving in a certain direction.
This is a small space that is independent from the outside world. It is the same as Asgard and Gao Tianyuan, but the area is much smaller.
This desert space was once a kingdom of gods with lost myths in the mist. Later, Si Xiaonan found this place and took the [Hidden God] with him to bring the indigenous gods here under his command in a semi-violent and semi-persuasive way. At the same time, this place also It became the base camp of [Hidden God].
Although the area here is small and the environment is relatively harsh, it is better at being hidden. It is generally difficult to find this place, which is also in line with the low-key characteristics of [Hidden God].
Well!
Halfway through, Fenrir suddenly stopped at Lina's feet.
This demonic wolf from the underworld kept sniffing the scent in the air, and a low roar came from its throat, with an expression as if it was facing a formidable enemy.
Lina's expression changed, and she quickly stepped off the wolf's back, patted its legs to signal it to shrink, and then cautiously moved toward the center along the surrounding obstacles...
At this point, even Lina could smell the smell of blood in the air. Her brows frowned more and more. As the ruined palace complex in the distance gradually appeared, broken corpses staggered everywhere, as if being carried by some huge The giant beast gnawed it to death!
These corpses were also covered with some kind of dark yellow mucus, exuding a strong stench, and the entire Kingdom of God seemed to be soaked, bloated and weird.
The hair all over Fenrir's body exploded, and he stared at the mucus covering the corpse and palace, his eyes as scarlet as blood.
It's the smell of Cthulhu.
Lina stared blankly at the familiar corpses all over the ground. In the scorching desert, an icy chill filled her heart!
[Hidden God], died.
