"How? I'm satisfied. ??? ?Ranwen ? ???．? ｒａｎｅｎ`ｏｒｇ”

Laughing, Laizi didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what she was doing.

"It's over... My innocence has been ruined by you..."

His eyes were blank, and Jiuzhu felt that he had to do everything he could to make Laizi let him go.

"Huh?"

With a raised brow, Laizi put his hand on Jiuzhu's head and said with a smile, "Since your innocence has been ruined by me, how about handing over your whole person to me?" ”

“！？”

"If you don't have anything to say, let's move on to the next game."

After saying that, Laizi was gone, and a big living person disappeared from Jiuzhu in an instant, without any warning... Well... Jiuzhu is used to this kind of terrifying feeling, but it is the changes in the surrounding environment that make Jiuzhu very interested.

Surrounded by a vast white expanse, there is a huge chessboard under your feet, a very standard chess board. What else... Jiuzhu didn't see the chess pieces, and he was the only one standing here.

"This game is simple... It's just 'normal' chess. ”

"But there's one thing that's special—

"Every chess piece is a part of itself [meaning of existence]."

"When all your pieces are eaten... Your own Meaning of Being will disappear, in other words, you will disappear completely on the basis of 'half-dead'. ”

"Of course, it's just a game, and there's no next game after the game ends, but as a punishment, this state lasts for five days."

"Game on."

After finishing speaking, Laizi was very irresponsible and did not appear at all.

Only Jiuzhu was left alone in the wind.

"Bet on the meaning of your existence... This game feels like a certain part of the story..."

It's only going to last five days. Big husband.

That is, the day of the auction.

Chess pieces gradually appeared on the chessboard, and the phase ... Handsome...

Are you Red? The rules of chess are the black room first, which means that when the difference in strength is not large, it is a defensive situation from the beginning.

Raiko sat in the starting position, where the first game was played, with a light screen in front of him.

"No matter how strong you are, it's a thing of the past, are you worth it now, and I'm paying so much?"

I can clearly feel that each chess piece has its own little mark on it, but I don't know what kind of mark it is.

Once the piece is captured, the mark of the part that belongs to you disappears.

The opponent is blank and the opponent is not visible. Or that the opponent is blank ... Blank?

The horse on the left took a step up.

What is this? Intended to attack directly in the first place?

Jiuzhu carefully moved the bubble on the right to the middle.

This is the easiest way to contain the player, as long as the horse dares to move, he will eat Black's middle pawn, which will disrupt the rhythm and take the initiative.

If nothing else, there are still the simplest minds.

The horse didn't move, it was another horse that moved.

"Coming out anyway?"

If you walk like this, you can really get a horse out.

Although Jiuzhu doesn't like to play this kind of game that requires high intelligence, it doesn't mean that he hasn't played it. The domestic gadgets of the dynasty, the things of the ancestors. Even if you don't like it, you have to play it to show that you are still a bit cultured.

However... No matter what means Jiuzhu used to press the horse at home, it was useless, and the car moved to the right bubble position, just choking the bubble blocking the horse.

I had no choice but to let the horse out.

It's been half an hour since the start of the game, and no matter how hard Jiuzhu tries to capture a chess piece on the opposite side, the end is in vain. Even if it is blocked, a dead chess piece will inexplicably rush out of a certain position to save the chess piece.

It can't be changed, so you can only retreat.

It's amazing, and there is no shortage of his own chess pieces, no matter how he attacks, it is useless.

It's as if there's a script, and I'm following that script.

I think for a long time every step I take, sometimes for half an hour, and I still don't get used to this way. This is an extremely brain-intensive way of thinking.

And then I made a mistake.

I can't do this level of concentration for a long time, so I walked down without seeing clearly.

As a result, Black, who had not even started to eat, ate his bubble.

As Laizi said, each chess piece represents a part of his [meaning of existence], and the bubble is eaten, and he can't perceive his right leg, the whole leg.

As if there was no such thing as this, it was directly erased in a fundamental sense.

- There is the most important factor, the meaning.

This was simply erased.

Jiuzhu felt as if something was missing, but he just didn't know what was missing, and his memory was a little incomplete, there was a small gap that couldn't be plugged, and a lot of things ran out of the gap.

Everything about his right leg is gone.

"I was caught a pawn... That is, has the [Meaning of Existence] of one of my parts disappeared? Hiss... It's terrifying..."

I clearly felt that something was missing, but I couldn't find it.

It's hard for me, and I want to remember it, but I can't remember it. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is holding out.

It's impossible to win, Jiuzhu knows very well what his strength is, and he is definitely not an opponent, but no matter what, he has to eat a chess piece of the opponent, right?

Horses are eaten, carts are eaten, then pawns, ministers, ministers...

......

I can only watch the chess pieces decrease little by little, and I don't know why I play this game of chess, I only know why I play this game of chess.

As for what reason?

Doesn't seem to know anything?

I don't feel anything... I just know that I have to finish this game of chess...

Huh? Who are you? Why is it here?

I can't think about it, because my mind is chaotic...

The last pawn was eaten... I can't see myself, I can't see anything.

I can't hear, I can't see, I can't feel anything, only the sense of touch... There is no feeling in the hands and feet...

What voice keeps ringing in my head... But it's strange, whose voice is it?

I don't know, I don't know anything ... I couldn't think, and many, many unfamiliar voices echoed all the time.

This seems to be the "meaning of existence"... I think I'm going crazy... Shut yourself up in a darkness where you can't see anything, you can't hear anything. But the inaudible voice is replaying in my head...

... Myself... No name.. No... His name is Jiuzhu... I don't know the age... This kind of thing should have been before.. Yes, it exists.

... It doesn't seem like ... Day and night... Who is it?

The brain is messy, I can't figure out anything, I'm powerless...

The head is shaking... I guess so... I shouldn't feel it... Shake... What is the feeling?

I guess it's called a mutilation... His consciousness, memory, and body were all mutilated.

Nothing, maybe the next second will go crazy ...

It's also possible that you'll never go crazy.

"Who am I..."

What are you?

It's really uncomfortable...

What is memory or something?

Memories seem to be fading... In the little by little disappearing...

The indescribable chill was as if the whole body was about to break.

Who am I?

Where is this? Where am I from? Where is the original itself?

I'm not myself anymore—it's indescribable [fear]

Non-existent...

Everything that exists on its own...

Personality... Nature... Perceive... Breathe...

The rook took a step forward, two horses, two carts and a bubble, and these five chess pieces completely blocked all the retreats.

The general...

The moment Shuai was eaten.

I seem to have disappeared... Nothing but **.

As if he had lost his soul, he fell directly on the chessboard.

"It's game over..."The board vanished, and the surroundings returned to their original appearance, on the streets of Van Nilsey.

Jiuzhu was already like a dead corpse, without any symptoms that could be called 'alive'.

"Sure enough, I lost..."Scratching his head, "I've already conceded so many pieces." ”

Jiuzhu's opponent.

It's Raiko.

Laizi gave Jiuzhu six chess pieces.

Just play on the premise of "not being captured", and the six pieces will not attack or defend, but will only 'move'. But this created an illusion for Jiuzhu.

Because a large part of the moving chess pieces are let out of the chess pieces, it has been wrestling with Jiuzhu.

After a few rounds, Jiuzhu couldn't stand it anymore and lost directly.

"I'm not without gains..."The laughing expression had disappeared, and the extra memories in my mind had been digested in a few tenths of a second, and I was already thinking about some possibilities.

"You'd better be honest and stay me for five days." smiled and touched Jiuzhu's face, and then left with Jiuzhu.

The moment I left, it was back to its original state.

"Huh? What am I doing here? Ji Ya, who was walking on the road, said in some surprise and stopped.

It seems that it was because I inadvertently got the elven species that the human race was going to auction and catch...

The experiences of these days come to mind... Something is disappearing.

Because time is paused... Therefore, the meaning of existence will slowly disappear.

"What's wrong these days? It's a mess. "Pat your face, I don't seem to have gone out to hunt high-ranking races all these years, on the contrary, I'm interested in tea ceremony, cooking, and other things that can't be matched at all...

"Let's go back first..."

The return of Himea is only in the place where humans live.

I suddenly felt pity for the human race... Ji Ya thought so, the nobles of the human race wanted to capture themselves and go back, and they only destroyed the country...

I have to say that my temper seems to have gotten a lot better lately...

If you think about it carefully, you will find that you and your long-ago self are two Heavenly Wing species, because of Lord Althu...

It's disappearing, but Himea doesn't feel anything.

All... As normal.

All the things that became abnormal by disappearing were filled automatically.

"Huh? What is it? Have I ever written about this kind of thing? He looked at the note in his hand with some confusion.

Only one sentence is written on it -

——Serve the master with everything you have, and protect the master at all costs.

There was no doubt that it was her own handwriting, but Ji Ya couldn't remember when she wrote it. Who is this master referring to? Althu-sama? But I've always called it an adult...

Never regarded Altehue as a master, just an adult.

I wouldn't have written such a thing myself.

"I don't have a memory," he blinked in annoyance, relieved to be sure that he hadn't written such a thing.

"There is no amnesia in the Tianyi species..."

The reason for giving it away is that he will not lose his memory, and the Tianyi race does not have such a statement as amnesia, and only the lower races such as the human race will have amnesia. Then the problem is not a matter of memory.

If you confirm that it has not been written, then it must have not been written, and you do not need to confirm it in the second time.

"The purpose is to snatch the elf species..."The habitual pajamas attacked, Ji Ya couldn't help but sigh at the power of time, the Tianyi species, who never needed sleep, spent ten years to develop a biological clock for sleep.

I didn't think about it so much before.

Pink eyes sparkled

The folded wings and aura were released, and after deliberately finding a place to cast magic, they followed the habit of cultivation.

......

The eyes of the angry girl who drank tea with peace of mind were completely open.

"It's as if [the meaning of existence] has completely disappeared..."

It doesn't matter if it's gone, because you still have a part of your soul that you won't forget.

"I already know." Xiao Yan sat on the couch and watched his TV, "But there's no way to get there, is there?" I've come here since I came into this world, can't I leave? ”

"yes... It's going to be dangerous if you leave...", he said distressedly, putting down his teacup, "I just think it's a little uneasy to do this." ”

"What are you worried about? Isn't there a time limit? It's not the real "meaning of existence" that disappears. There's still a long time left for 'half-dead', isn't it? ”

"Yes," he said, shaking his head, but he felt uneasy anyway... If you don't resist just now, even your will will suffer. After all, it's also a game set by will...

"I should have told Laizi a long time ago... Don't be so rough..."

"I don't think you can overcount her."

"yes... It's one of the seven... Even if it's at the bottom... Anyway, Laizi has always wanted to..."

The two girls, who had thought of something, looked up sharply.

Relative glances.

Something comes to mind.

That guy seems to have been longing...

“！？” (To be continued.) )
