Chapter 17: The Game of Chess

Su Xing and the three of them entered the house, but they saw an even more strange scene. The room was very small, and as soon as the three of them entered the room, they saw a man lying in the room, lying upright on a broken straw mat, motionless.

"This is my son, he's still sleeping." Aunt Zhang said.

The three of them just thought it was strange, so they leaned forward to take a look. The "person" on the straw mat has long lost his breath and heartbeat, where is this person, it is clearly a corpse! It's no wonder that the skin on the outside of this corpse is grayish-white, but it is extremely smooth, like porcelain, but the internal organs inside have long been rotten, and the corpse has rotted but has not yet emitted a little corpse smell. Su Xing felt strange and turned his head to take a look, but saw that there was a shallow corpse spot on the neck of the corpse, which was not obvious, but it could be seen if he looked closely.

"My son is going to eat...... Aunt Zhang said in a broken voice. While chattering, he opened the oil paper wrapped in his hand, but what was wrapped in the oil paper was not "food", but a piece of carrion, like his son's internal organs, although it was rotten but did not have a trace of corpse smell.

That means that the beggars at that time were not robbing food, but carrion without the smell of corpses! Su Xing couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he thought of this.

The three of them saw that Aunt Zhang didn't seem to realize anything, picked up chopsticks and fed the piece of carrion to her son's mouth, as if the piece of carrion was no different from a normal meal. But after eating the carrion, the corpse spots on my son's neck disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the skin on his neck became as smooth as anywhere else!

"Aunt Zhang, you are busy first, and we will leave first." Su Xing pretended to be normal and said to Aunt Zhang.

"Okay, then I won't send it." Aunt Zhang's cloudy eyes rolled a few times, and she said expressionlessly. After saying that, he continued to turn back to feed his son, and a strange smile appeared on his originally expressionless face.

Walking to the street, Chen Xihe couldn't help but complain: "This ...... Why is it not quite like the Aunt Zhang you described? I'm afraid it's not a fake. ”

"Something is wrong." Su Fenglian still cherishes words like gold.

"Let's eat something first, I'm going to Lin Mansion tonight." Su Xing said and took out the dry food prepared in advance. Before I came, I only thought that there would be no food in this desolate place, but now it seems that this decision is indeed the right one.

"Great, there's something to eat. Hehehehe, it's still the younger sister who is prescient. Chen Xi said with a smile on his face.

When Su Xing was eating, he saw that Su Fenglian was standing and didn't come to eat, so he glanced at Su Fenglian and wanted to call him. However, this glance was a little unfocused. Su Fenglian's handsome face was angular, and his eyes were deep, like a bottomless black pool that people would fall into if they were not careful, at this time he was thinking and his expression was focused. He is only 22 years old this year, but he has a maturity and stability that his peers do not have. For no reason, Su Xing actually remembered the kiss before, and his face was hot for a while.

"Xing'er, is there something wrong?" Noticing Su Xing's gaze, Su Fenglian asked.

"No.... Not.... Belch...... Which one...... I just wanted to ask if you want something to eat. Su Xing said with a flustered face, what's wrong with him?

"Senior brother, what do you want! Come over and eat, it's almost time, and I'll go to the Lin Mansion in a while. Chen Xihe said.

"Okay."

In front of the Lin Mansion.

Although he knew that the contents were most likely not human, Su Xing still knocked on the door politely.

There was a creak, and the door opened. The person who opened the door had gray but smooth skin like porcelain, and it was clearly the son of Aunt Zhang! At this time, his eyes were open, his face was expressionless, and his eyes were motionless. Just said stiffly: "Please come in." ”

No wonder Aunt Zhang said that his son was a housekeeper in the Lin Mansion.

Su Xing and the three of them walked around and soon walked to the ancestral hall, and a game of chess that had not been opened had been set up in the middle of the ancestral hall.

"Would you be interested in playing a game here?" Suddenly, an ethereal female voice came.

"What if we don't?" Chen Xi asked with a hippie smile.

"Down or Die!" The voice suddenly became sharp.

"So there's no way back, right?" Su Xing asked with a smile, but he vaguely had an answer in his heart, could it be her?

"Your Excellency didn't just call us here to play chess." Su Fenglian said.

"I'll let you go if you win, and leave your life here if you lose! Hahaha......" The voice suddenly laughed, but there was a misery in the laughter, the voice gradually disappeared, and finally said faintly: "The people he sent will die!"

He? Who is he? The three of them couldn't help but wonder.

Without further ado, the game begins. There was a creaking sound, and the corpses in the courtyard suddenly stood up, and each walked to a fixed position without moving, and some of the corpses went to a distant and invisible place!

Su Fenglian felt that something was wrong, so he looked at the sword in the air, and said when he came back: "The sword can't fly high when it flies to a certain distance, but I see that this big Lin Mansion is a chess game, and this walking corpse is a chess piece on the chessboard." The three of you and I are naturally one of the chess pieces, and it seems that the stakes in this chess game are very big. ”

"The three of us together will be able to defeat her." Chen Xihe also put away his hippie smile at this time and said seriously, but it was a little different from him.

"But if we really lose, we'll beat her, and if we can't beat it, we'll run away." Sure enough, it was only three seconds......

Start.

The three of them just started the game and marched forward bravely, with the tendency of "swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger", originally wanted to disrupt its rhythm with fierce chess first, and then attack and defend both, and break it with one blow. But the other party doesn't seem to eat this set, and is still vigorous and step-by-step. It seems that he has met a master.

The trio were forced to change their strategy and start focusing on defense, and each move had to be carefully considered. The sky was dark, the moonlight was white, and the candles in the ancestral hall were blowing with the breeze, beating the candle flames again and again, making the ancestral hall flickering and dimming. With each move, the corpses in the corresponding position will start moving, and each time a piece is captured, the corresponding corpse will be broken into a pile of broken bones, making a sound.

I don't know how long it took, it stands to reason that the sky should have been bright, but it was still dark outside the house, and the chess game continued......

After another long time, the victory and defeat were divided.

"You're the first one to hold on to me for so long." The man seemed to be descending, and said in a pleasant voice.

"Thanks for the compliment." Chen Xihe said with a smile.

"So calmly? Aren't you afraid of death? There was a hint of doubt and a different look in the voice. If those people had been so scared that they peed their pants before, these three people could still be so calm.
