The old man took it, glanced at the words on the business card, and roared: "I can't see it, you still open a welfare home, and you are quite loving." ”

We smiled embarrassedly: "The scale of our welfare home is still too small, and we will try our best to open it bigger in the future." ”

"The afterlife is terrifying." The old man looked at us with satisfaction and nodded.

Suddenly, he set his eyes on the cold and warm chess next to me, and exclaimed: "This is not cold and warm chess, how can it be in your hands." ”

I was a little surprised: "You know this?" ”

"Of course I know, this thing is made of fine white jade, and it is almost thousands of years old now."

As he spoke, he tried to open the chess box, but like us, he couldn't open it with all his might.

"There's a lot of stuff hidden in here."

"What?"

I asked, a little puzzled.

"I am an antique collector, I have a lot of antiques at home, antiques generally contain a very strong yin qi, I am very familiar with it, but there is an irritating atmosphere in this chess box, it seems that there is a terrible thing hidden in it."

Is this an encounter with a master?

"Do you have any solutions to crack it?"

"Don't worry, you listen to what I'm going to say next, and then you decide whether to force it open."

I nodded.

"In the Tang Dynasty, it was the most warlock thing, everyone liked to play a kind of chess, called life chess, the meaning of this life chess, is to select a few people to write the eight characters of the hour on the paper, the paper is pasted in each chess piece, once the chess piece is eaten, then the person with the eight characters of the hour behind him will also die."

Hearing this, my heart suddenly chuckled.

"So this chess box will become very difficult to open, because the chess pieces inside represent a person, and if you force it open, the whole chess board will be scrapped, and the people inside will die."

"Is there no way to crack it?"

The old man shook his head: "Unless one side automatically admits defeat, and the people on that side will all die, of course, Lao Tzu is not specialized in this, and he is not sure, what's the matter, boy, see that you are so nervous, don't tell me, your time eight characters are also used as chess pieces." ”

"I'm not sure."

The old man thought for a moment and said, "Let me ask you, do you feel that when you reach a fixed time every day, you feel that you have a flower in front of your eyes, and you have arrived in a place that you have never seen before, and you can't move your body?" ”

I nodded.

"And then you'll see people around you walking like the robots, and they're going to fight each other?"

I nodded again.

"That's pretty much it, young man, congratulations, your time has been used by others, you, you'd better find a way to crack it, otherwise, you won't live long."

While he was talking, the old man's house arrived.

The old man put the cold and warm chess back in its place: "Okay, my house has also arrived, thank you." ”

I don't even have the interest to speak now, and my head is buzzing.

The old man looked at me now and sighed: "Young man, I don't think you are a bad person, I will remind you again, if you really want to live, there is another way, that is, change your life, talk to the person who controls the chessboard, and change your time and eight characters." ”

"I see, thank you, old man."

The old man looked at me, sighed, got out of the car, put his hands behind his back, and entered the community without turning his head.

Li Qingyun also understood seven or eight points, and looked at me: "Thirteen, are you okay?" ”

"Not good." I shook my head honestly, "You call Qin Yan and tell him about our guesses, and we'll send them the chessboard now." ”

I can probably guess seven or eight points, Chunqiu Yi selected a few people who have seen a doctor on his side, wrote them on paper, and used them as chess pieces, but what I don't understand is that I am an innocent person, and I have not seen a doctor on his side, so how does he know my time and eight characters?

Moreover, why should I use my time and eight characters when I have no grievances with him?

All the doubts were like an invisible hand, choking my neck and making it impossible for me to breathe.

"Let's go back." 1800 Literature

After thinking about it, only confrontation with Chunqiu Yi is the easiest way.

Driving the car, we returned to the intelligence bureau and hurried in with the chessboard in hand.

Li Kebin was waiting for us outside, and when he saw us coming in, he hurriedly walked over.

"Is Chunqiu Yi still there?"

"Yes, this guy's mouth is really hard enough, he won't say anything, and now the boss is still grinding inside, I heard that you found a clue?"

I nodded and handed him the chessboard in my hand, "Give it to you boss." ”

Li Kebin took the chessboard and walked into the interrogation room.

We stood in front of the two-way mirror, and when Qin Yan put the chessboard in his hand on the table, I saw that Chunqiu Yi's face changed: "Tell me, what is this thing?" ”

Chun Qiu Yi's face quickly recovered: "Isn't this just a chessboard, what else can it be?" ”

Qin Yan sneered: "Do you really think that we are fools and don't know what this is?" His grandmother's lives are all in there! ”

Obviously, Qin Yan was really angry, and even scolded the swear words: "I checked, this is a game played by some evil arts in the Tang Dynasty, using human life as a chess piece, right, if you don't say it, it doesn't matter, I'll go find someone to forcibly open this box now, and see what is in it." ”

Chun Qiu Yi didn't speak, and he didn't make any moves when he heard this, he just looked at Qin Yan with a smile, as if he had made up his mind, it was impossible for him to open this chessboard.

Qin Yan was really annoyed when he saw his current attitude: "I'll give you one last chance, do you tell the truth or not!" ”

I knew what kind of Xiao Jiujiu was fighting in this Chunqiu Yi's heart, and he expected that Qin Yan would not dare to open this box.

With a sneer, I walked to the door of the interrogation room, knocked on the door, and walked in,

"Thirteen?" Qin Yan was a little puzzled as to why I came in.

I didn't look at him, I looked at Chun Qiu Yi with straight eyes, and said lightly: "Do you really think that we don't dare to open the box?" ”

Chun Qiu Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at me with a smug expression.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Wu Thirteen, I am the leader of the magic world, I believe, you should know the meaning of the leader, you want to sit in this position in the magic world with many talents, do you know why? It's just that I was impermanence in my last life, and I know all the spells, including their solutions, this spell, I have many ways to solve it, but if I solve it, you will be counterattacked, and you should understand the consequences of counterattack. ”

With a brush, Yi Chunqiu's face changed instantly.

"You don't believe it, do you?" I smiled faintly and put my hand on the chessboard, "This is the evil art of the Tang Dynasty, if you don't believe it, you can give it a try." ”

I looked at him indifferently, but in fact, my heart was like playing a drum.

Chunqiu Yi kept looking at me, but he didn't speak, I sneered, stood up from my position, walked outside, and just took two steps, I saw Chun and Autumn Yi speak: "Can you help me suppress the backlash?" ”

I turned my head to look at him: "I can't guarantee it, but I will try to help you control the backlash to a minimum, but the premise is that you must explain everything clearly, otherwise, if you trust me and make a deal with the devil, even if you win, your fate will not be much better." ”

"How do you know I'm making a deal with the devil?"

"Not only that, but if I'm not mistaken, the demon who made the deal with you should be the Demon Lord."

I'm not stupid, and a lot of things can be figured out just by thinking about it.

Why when I was downstairs, that demon would lead me upstairs, why didn't I see a doctor in the imperial capital, Spring and Autumn Yi would have my eight characters, I only had a grudge against one demon, and that was the demon lord.

Chun Qiu Yi's face became even more ugly: "I don't have much time, I only give you half an hour to think about it, and after half an hour, I will leave, I don't dare to say anything else, saving the lives of those people in your box is not a problem, but you, you have to accept being annoyed, think for yourself." ”

After finishing speaking, I looked at my watch, sat down next to Qin Yan and began to wait slowly.

Qin Yan glanced at me, with an approving expression in his eyes, and he didn't speak, and the whole room was so depressed that it was difficult for people to breathe.

Half an hour, only half of the time, I saw Chunqiu Yi's firm eyes: "Okay!" I say. ”

I smiled, Qin Yan grabbed the pen in his hand, and waited for Chunqiu Yi to tell.

"I have cancer, it's an advanced stage of brain cancer, and I can't be saved, but I don't understand, I have aspired to be a doctor since I was a child, I have saved so many lives, I never thought of getting anything in return, but why did God let me get brain cancer?"

Chunqiu Yi took off the hair on his head, and I realized that this was actually a wig.

"I don't want to die, I still have a lot of things that I haven't had time to experience and enjoy, until one time, my patient told me that if I make a deal with the devil, I may still have a chance of life, so I tried to find it, until one day, a stranger suddenly came to the door and said that he could give me unlimited life, but he wanted to play a game with me."

Taking a deep breath, fear appeared in Chunqiu Yi's eyes.

"He gave me this chessboard and said that I should find the eight characters of the hour and put those people's eight characters on the chess pieces, and I really didn't know that someone would die at first! It wasn't until Wang Jia died that I knew that this matter was a big deal, and I wanted to regret it, but they didn't give me a chance! ”
