It was a bright moonlit night, and Kaoru left Chen Beibei's courtyard.

Then he flew in one direction, all the way to some unknown place, to find the former leader of the ghost clan.

When Kaoru left, Chen Beibei was dealing with a new matter in Sakura City.

Chen Beibei's was invited by others.

Not long ago, a Go tournament was held in the castle of Sakura.

The end result was astonishing.

In the end, it was only a small chess player who was not known to the people.

Chen Beibei went there because of this incident.

Such a thing would have been something that he didn't need to go, but just last night, the little chess player suddenly died.

He fell into the river and drowned.

The family said he could swim, but it was still winter, and no one could go down to the river at all.

So people suspect that there are ghosts at work in this.

Chen Beibei was also invited.

The body was placed in the courtyard, and it was a family with ordinary background.

There were no injuries on the body, and it was surrounded by the family and relatives of the little chess player.

For this kind of thing, the atmosphere is generally relatively heavy, and basically no one speaks.

Chen Beibei took a good look at the man's body, and then looked at his room as well. During the inspection, Chen Beibei had always opened his spiritual eyes, but even so, he still did not find any spirits such as ghosts.

Of course, this does not directly prove that the person's death has nothing to do with the ghosts.

After all, goblins are not corpses, nor are they trees.

They are free to move, so they can kill a person and then leave.

In this way, Chen Beibei naturally had no way to find them.

"Your son, is there anything special going on these days?"

Chen Beibei asked.

"A special move?"

"Hmm."

"Yes...... Yes. Not long ago, I don't know where he stole a chess book, and then he became obsessed with playing chess. He had never played chess before, but he had only practiced for a few days, and since he had won a first place in a competition. ”

"Stolen chess games?"

The man's father looked a little embarrassed: "Well, I'm not afraid of your jokes, when my little boy was born, he had some sneaky habits." But the heart is not bad, but this problem has not been changed. ”

"Is that game still there?"

Chen Beibei asked.

"In his room, I'll get it for you."

After the man's father finished speaking, he walked into the room and took out the chess book: "Master Chen, this is the ......"

It's a chess book with some years, and the paper on it is already a little yellowed. There are even some mutilations.

It is almost impossible for a person who does not know how to play chess to grow to an extremely high level in a few days.

After all, there are so many things in chess.

It's not something that can be easily mastered.

Chen Beibei opened the chess book, and on the first page, it was surprisingly like a portrait of a woman.

This is something that Chen Beibei could never have imagined no matter what.

On the yellowed page, a woman with long hair and a thin skirt has her eyebrows and eyes full of affection.

Chen Beibei continued to flip back......

The middle part is full of pictures and text descriptions of some chess games.

But in the last page, Chen Beibei saw something that shouldn't have appeared.

It was a translucent spirit!

The spirit was hiding on the last page of the game, a man.

Clear eyebrows, long white hair, if slim can be used to describe a man.

Then, the man on the last page of my chess game can be worthy of the four words slim and elegant.

Although he was ready to be seen, he didn't show too much surprise.

So the rest of the people don't know what's wrong with the game.

"Uncle, can I take this game home?"

Chen Beibei asked the father of the dead man.

The cause of the man's death is probably related to this chess game. After all, there is a spirit hidden in the game that should not have appeared.

He must have killed that man.

"Well, you guys take it. We can't read these things, but how the hell did my son die? Please bear your heart. ”

The man's father looked at Chen Beibei and said to him.

Chen Beibei nodded, and then left with the chess game.

The man who died was laid to rest.

As for the cause of his death, Chen Beibei felt that this should be able to be investigated.

After all, the spirit in the game should know something.

After Chen Beibei returned home, he directly turned the chess book to the last page: "Come out." ”

A white light flashed in the chess game, and then a man with long white hair appeared in Chen Beibei's room.

It's the spirit in the game.

After showing the original form, it is even more handsome and beautiful.

Probably when he was alive, he was the kind of noble person that ordinary people couldn't approach.

"Tell me why you killed that man, right?"

Chen Beibei looked at the handsome man in front of him and said to him.

"Because he already knows I exist."

"Is that all?"

"Hmm."

"You should have taken the initiative to appear in front of him, otherwise how would an ordinary human find you?"

Chen Beibei asked.

"Yes, it was indeed me who took the initiative to appear in front of him."

When the man said this, his brow furrowed slightly, and there was obviously a hint of sadness.

Frowning, it still looks very comfortable.

"Why?"

Chen Beibei stood up and walked to the window: "I know that I can't be discovered by humans, but I still have to take the initiative to appear in front of humans." ”

"Because I have important things."

"About the game of Go?"

"Hmm."

The man who didn't know how to play Go won the championship after participating in the competition. But he also lost his own life.

No matter how you look at it, the man is innocent.

Even spirits are not allowed to harm the lives of others.

"Is there anything that matters, other people's lives?"

"Actually, it's not a very important thing, but for me, it's something more important than my own life."

"More important than your own life?"

Chen Beibei asked suspiciously.

If this is the case, then the death of someone else is simply because of something that must be done.

It does not come from the evil of one's own heart.

Such spirits can still be forgiven, or at least they can be made to give up hurting others. Exist in this world as a harmless identity.

"That thing is to play chess."

The white-haired man looked at the stars outside the window, and the wind blew, and his white hair fluttered gently.

There was a trace of sadness in the man's eyes, so that this night couldn't help but be dyed with his sadness.

The night was like water, and the blue moonlight shone in the courtyard.

The hanged man was also rarely quiet.

I don't know why, but it has to tell a story every night, and it has no sound.

It also seems to be stained with the sorrow of the white-haired man.

"Is it just a game of chess?"

"Well, just playing chess."

The man replied.

"If that's all there is to kill someone else's life, then I can't keep you in this world."

"Then you do it, know that you are not an ordinary person."

The man replied indifferently, his eyes still looking at the stars in the sky, and the shallow moon, deep and charming.

If Chen Beibei were a woman, he would probably like him because of his appearance.

"Aren't you afraid of disappearing?"

"I'm afraid."

So why not explain, or make up a plausible excuse. In that case, it may be possible to live. ”

"I've explained that for me, that reason is the most appropriate."

"Playing chess?"

"Yes!"

Just because I want to play chess, then I occupy other people's bodies and go to Go competitions. and cause the death of others.

Such a reason is indeed not convincing. At least for Chen Beibei, who doesn't understand Go very well, that's the case.

"Is there no other reason? Or a story about you have to kill someone. ”

Chen Beibei looked at the man and asked him.

For such a spirit with a handsome appearance, Chen Beibei is obviously not so aggressive.

Moreover, Chen Beibei has not really killed any ghosts since he came from the system of obtaining the Onmyoji.

Even if it was a monster like Gu Houniao who had killed countless babies, Chen Beibei chose to give her a chance.

Of course, that is mainly because Gu Xuaniao has a touching story, and her own ability is already more miserable than the parents of those who have killed their children.

Such a youkai.

It's just a woman who loves her children deeply, but she does something she knows she can't do.

It's just that Chen Beibei is also willing to give her a chance.

After all, he just did evil things, but he didn't have that kind of evil thoughts in his heart.

"Nope."

The man replied.

It's cold, as if it's willing to die.

"Then I'm sorry, I can only make you disappear from this world."

The man closed his eyes, his face as cold as autumn water: "Do it." ”

Chen Beibei took out a flame talisman.

This is a talisman that can directly burn the spirit, so if you use it, you will definitely die.

The talisman is sandwiched between the index and middle fingers, waiting for the "mantra" to be activated.

"Your name? As the first goblin I killed, please tell me your name. ”

Chen Beibei looked at the man in front of him and said slowly.

The man's eyes were still not open, and he had no intention of looking at the world again.

Maybe it's because of disappointment in the world, or maybe it's just because I've already memorized the world in front of me.

"Yi!"

The red lips opened lightly, and the word was spat out.

It's not loud, but it's audible.

Because the night was so quiet.

Not only did the hanged ghost not tell a story, but even in the next room, the sound of Chen Yan's breathing while sleeping seemed to have disappeared.

The cyan moonlight made the courtyard in front of him hazy.

Chen Beibei couldn't be sure whether the man in front of him was a real spirit body.

Chinese chess!

The appearance of this word brought everything back to normal.

The sound of Chen Yan's breathing came from next door.

When the wind blows the old locust tree, the leaves also make a rustling sound.

The hanged ghost kept looking at Chen Beibei and the man, probably forgetting that he still had a story to tell, so he still didn't speak.

"Yi?"

Chen Beibei asked while thinking about this word, something it represented.

The man didn't answer again, just stood quietly in front of the window, waiting to disappear into this world completely.

Chinese chess!

Refers to playing chess.

In ancient times, it was also called Go.

Name?

A ghost named Yi......

Chen Beibei couldn't help but think of it, a ghost in the Onmyoji.

If it were him, playing chess would indeed be the most appropriate reason.

At least more than money, fame, or even life!

"You have a woman you love dearly?"

Chen Beibei asked suddenly.

The man's body trembled slightly, like the night of water, there were some ripples, and the cyan moonlight began to ripple.

Obviously, there is already an answer to this question!

"You lost the last game of your life for her?"

"Yes."

The man's eyes opened, and there was an indescribable emotion inside.

It's probably regret, there is anger, but more is gratification.

The woman she loved so much survived.

What is unfairness?

What is it if you lose a game of chess and the title of your chess master?

A story about Yi.

Chen Beibei knew it and was once moved by it.

I didn't expect it to be him in front of me.

"Tell me that story, will you?"

"You're not going to kill me?"

"Well, because your name is Yi, that reason is indeed appropriate."

Chen Beibei said.

"It's over, so let's not mention it."

I don't know when the man has an extra folding fan in his hand.

It is a small and delicate fan.

Perfect for him.

Since Yi didn't want to mention those past events, Chen Beibei didn't ask anymore.

After all, those past events are some unhappy things.

Yi is an SR-level goblin.

Chen Beibei has now appeared in front of Chen Beibei's eyes.

Chen Beibei naturally wanted to take him as his own god.

"Do you have anything else to do now?"

Chen Beibei asked.

"Something to do?"

"Hmm."

"No, there's been nothing to do since she died."

Yi replied.

The clouds in the sky obscured the moon, and the whole world fell into a brief darkness.

Humans are mortal.

It's the same with the person Yi loves, that's the story of the Heian period, and that woman is also a person from the Heian period.

Almost a thousand years have passed since then.

The woman is naturally dead.

"Then if you want to stay in my house, I can protect you, and as for Go, I can also go and buy it for you."

Yi opened the folding fan in his hand, and his eyes were a little lost: "Go can be bought, but the opponent can't ......"

Chen Beibei understood what Yi meant.

He didn't want to stay here, after all, such a place was too boring for him.

Not even a person who can be regarded as an opponent......

Boss Yi, touch your head, don't cry~
