Chapter 38: Rich Man's Chess
"I didn't expect you to be interested in the doctrine of objective idealism."
Andersen was interested in Su Qi's choice, and by the way, he handed over his voucher to the teller to store.
He is also a senior mystic, and the Immortal Layer Divine Objects are of little help to him at present, and he will exchange them for the Abyss Layer after accumulating them.
Su Qi thought to himself, did Andersen mistakenly think that he wanted Plato as the original master?
He didn't explain, though.
In the mysterious world, silence is a kind of self-preservation.
Hans Christian Andersen also taught him to keep secrets as much as possible, especially for newcomers.
I don't know what to say and what not to say, so it's better not to say anything.
So Su Qi didn't dare to say more, because he didn't dare to ask more.
Especially the matter of god-making anchoring.
After Su Qi learned some introductory knowledge of occultism, he also knew that this belonged to the kind of mystery that could not be easily leaked.
Mysterious, mysterious.
The less people know about it, the more it constitutes a mystery.
Andersen may also be vaguely aware of it, after all, Su Qi's choice of divine objects is quite strange.
But he won't explain, he won't explore.
Intent on destroying the mystery of a mystery.
It's quite a lack of morality.
It is possible for one's own mysterious leakage and destruction to get out of control in an instant.
Therefore, among the mystics, there are very few people who are willing to be teachers, guides, and impart knowledge.
Because imparting knowledge may affect one's own mystery, it is a risky thing.
Every inheritor of knowledge must be experienced, and at the same time have excellent spiritual qualities, and is a sage who deserves respect.
……
After Su Qi chose the ideal country, he still had a file voucher, and after thinking about it, he redeemed another one.
The matter of file remuneration has been taken care of.
The two went back to the Ginza Kuromon Club.
The lost Lamb returns to the old seal of the door.
The two walked through the Black Gate.
……
in the activity room.
Alice is sitting at a round table with the hatter, rolling the dice and playing a game of rich man's chess.
On a large chessboard with antique delicate carvings.
Patterns, models, dice, chess pieces......
Alice's chess piece is a blue-and-white Lolita's blonde double-headed doll in a small wheelchair, as if she had shrunk down.
The Hatter's pawn is the same, a two-headed figure wearing a top hat.
There are also Hans Christian Andersen's pieces on the chessboard.
There were also four or five chess pieces that Su Qi didn't recognize, and these chess pieces were a little different, colorless, and grayish-white.
The chessboard is very large, and the three-dimensional architectural models are laid out, and many chess pieces are placed in different grids, which does not look crowded.
Rather, it's ...... Still a little empty?
"Director, Hatter."
Hans Christian Andersen took Su Qi back and sat down.
Alice's head, the vertical pupils of the feline, looked at Su Qi, and said:
"Give him a pawn."
The hatter took off his gloves, took out a piece of graphite, and handed it to Su Qi.
Su Qi looked at the graphite segment in his hand, revealing a puzzled expression.
"Hold it firmly."
Alice said as she rolled the dice.
Su Qi shook his hand hard, and then let go.
The graphite segment in his hand turned into a chess piece.
A two-headed doll that resembles him.
"It's your turn."
Alice handed the dice.
Su Qi took the dice, put his chess pieces on the board, and joined the game.
"What did you find in the Bird Archive?"
Alice asked.
"All the members of the Gu Bird Order who participated in the ceremony were exterminated, and they were all citizens of recorded Tokyo who entered the organization through various pyramid schemes."
Andersen said as he rolled the dice.
"However, I found something else on the scene, so I went and investigated."
He pulled out a photo.
The photograph shows a five-centimeter-sized shadow of humanoid ashes.
"Behind the bird, there is a larger hidden religious organization in Tokyo, the Pioneer Church.
Born out of the chaos of the Showa era, this group was distorted during the Great Depression and brought together a large number of anti-social elements.
What started as a terrorist attack was a terrorist attack, but later they came into contact with occult knowledge and rituals, and discovered an even more destructive weapon, the evil god.
There were twelve orders in the pioneer church, and they had twelve rituals of communicating with ancient evil gods, each of which operated in secret, and Gu Xue was only one of them. ”
"What is the mystery at their core."
"Little man."
"People? Ghosts? Knowledge? Divine objects? ”
"Not sure."
Alice shook the dice and was silent for a moment.
"We wait for the attitude of the Cabinet Office."
……
Evening.
Su Qi returned home.
Andersen said that he was taking him to the Black Gate Club to report on the mission.
As a result, he played rich chess for half a day......
Hans Christian Andersen said that the chessboard belonged to the former Tokyo branch and was probably their tradition.
The director thought it was interesting and took it out and used it.
Those pieces without color are members of the former Tokyo branch.
Hans Christian Andersen said that those chess pieces occasionally move, but they are not common, so Su Qi does not have to be afraid when he sees them.
It's good that he didn't say it, this said that Su Qi played chess very creepy.
But Boss Alice asked him to go down, and he couldn't say no.
The pioneer church that Hans Christian Andersen mentioned while playing chess, the little man.
Su Qi didn't understand, so he listened to it.
……
Take a shower and go back to your room.
Wait for Miss Mary to come and check in.
Su Qicai was free to "inspect the goods".
Take a look at the two newly acquired divinities.
……
Ideal country.
"A group of people who are forced to live in caves and cannot get out of the caves, so they can only learn about the outside world through the shadows left on one of the walls of the cave by external objects."
Su Qi opened his palm.
A "cave", a virtual space.
appeared in the palm of his hand.
And, as Su Qi's mind thought, this "cave" in the palm of his hand began to change.
Stone steps, wooden pavilions, columns, halls, pavilions, began to be built layer by layer, where the heart desires, all-encompassing.
The utopia of thinking, the kingdom of truth.
Whatever Su Qi wants to build in it, he can build whatever he wants, and create things as he likes.
This is a virtual "ideal kingdom of God" that exists in the mind and in the spirit.
Close your eyes.
Su Qi's consciousness sank into the "ideal country".
When he opened his eyes again, the bedroom around him disappeared, and he was in the "ideal country" he had created.
Surrounded by unknown metal monuments, the sunken ancient amphitheater is covered with rust.
The theater staircase is lined with 9981 difficult seats.
Each seat was filled with an invisible fog.
Outside the dense fog, there are dots of fluorescent particles, outlining a picture of the catastrophe.
The white-haired mouse steals the candle flower, the seven immortal spiders pan the silk hole, the nine-headed horse steals the Buddha treasure, the three thousand white bones turn into yin wind, the three Dharma phases are the great teachers, and the purple clouds and black robes give birth to a hundred eyes...... Ninety-nine eighty-one.
Ninety-nine-eighty-one above the god master.
The amphitheater is in the middle.
A huge round table, the signs of the zodiac, divides twelve seats.
In the middle of the round table, sat a dull humanoid dust, with mosaics flashing from time to time.
Sinking into the ...... of the Deep Sea Great existence.
