(Foreword)

Even though there is darkness ahead, and on the blood-stained thorny road, hope is like a spark that has been extinguished, but the stars are dotted, and the prairie is hidden.

"What's going on? Why are the lights off in the store? Cui Li kept pushing the door of the store.

There are a total of three buildings in the rest area. They are shops, restaurants, and a three-story rest stop. Quite simply, we can't just start all over again. To be exact, we only have three chances. Now all the pressure is gathered in Zhao Miyu in the garden. However, at this time, she was just looking down and contemplating alone. Sweat was still dripping slowly down her forehead.

Xia Cheng asked Li Ruina to write down all the previous games of Zhao Yuyu on paper, while he sat on the bench, looking at the chess game on the paper and frowning.

Cui Li walked over, also looked at the chess game in Xia Cheng's hand, and muttered: "Isn't it too unfair to say this?" Why do we only have 6 pieces and 8 pieces on the other side!" It seems that Cui Li usually does not play chess, although the number of chess pieces will affect the trend of the chess game, but it cannot determine the final win or loss of the chess game. Xia Cheng didn't pay attention to Cui Li beside him, but he kept calculating the way on paper.

"I said, Xia Cheng, aren't you very good in many ways? Why don't you go down yourself? Cui Li's sentence is also what I want to ask, judging from Xia Cheng's posture of studying chess games, he should also be a master who often plays chess, but why did he let Zhao Yuyu play this game of chess?

"I started playing chess when I was very young, but there was a talented girl at that time, who was about the same age as me, but she was already the champion of the National Youth Chess Championship, she became a professional chess player at the age of 14, and won the national chess championship at the age of 16. Strangely, she withdrew from the professional chess league in the same year she won the award, and no one has seen her play chess again, and as time went on, the talented girl gradually disappeared from people's sight. Xia Cheng is like an old man lamenting the past.

Cui Li couldn't help but move his gaze to Zhao Yuyu. "You can't be talking about Zhao Yuyu, right?"

Xia Cheng didn't speak but nodded, so this chess game was not as simple as we thought.

Zhao Yuyu came with a triumphant smile, it seemed that she had found a way to win. "Let's go! Rook five into six! ”

To everyone's surprise, our statue did not move, but with a loud bang, the statue fell on the lawn of the garden. We were speechless for a while. It seems that the failure of the game is not as simple as turning off the lights in the building. We lose a piece every time we fail. The form of the chess game is becoming more and more severe, and the loss of a rook may have nullified all her plans for Zhao Yuyu.

Xia Cheng kept looking at the chess game in his hand, and his expression became more and more nervous.

"Are we out of the question?" I watched Xia Cheng in front of me crumple the paper in his hand into a paper ball and throw it into the fountain in the garden. My chances of winning are getting slimmer. But Zhao Haoyu didn't seem to have any intention of giving up. She looked closely at the statue in front of her, just as everyone gave up hope.

Zhao Yuyu's expression suddenly changed back to a calm look: "Let's start!" Cannon two flat one. ”

The statue began to move again, looking at Zhao Yuyu's expression, maybe this time we will succeed!

September 20, 2021 at 21:36 p.m.

The second game didn't turn out the way I thought. Even from my point of view, we're about to lose the second game.

Sure enough, after a fierce game, the lights at the three-story rest stop were turned off. We looked at everything in front of us but didn't have the slightest solution, and the only thing we could do was to believe in Zhao Yuyu.

But when there was no smile on everyone's face, a smile appeared on Zhao Yuyu's face. It occurred to me that she was the one who drove the sightseeing car to the central square? Now it's just to keep us from getting out of here. She's actually an employee of AFE?

All the possibilities flashed through my mind, but for a moment I thought it was so ridiculous, if she was really an employee of AEF, she wouldn't have to play this game of chess herself, and any of us would probably not succeed.

I walked over to Xia Cheng's side, "Do you think we still have any hope of winning?" ”

Xia Cheng didn't answer my question. It took a while to say two words: "It's hard." ”

September 20, 2021 at 21:45 p.m.

Time passed slowly, and many people had sleepiness on their faces. Looks like we're all there is to do for today. Just as we started setting up our tents. Zhao Miyu started the game again: "Let's start!" Pawn five into one. ”

As expected, the statue did not move, and also fell on the lawn of the ground garden.

"What to do? We have fewer and fewer chess pieces. Cui Li looked at Zhao Yuyu anxiously.

"I said, we're just in vain, we shouldn't be here at all!" Although Lin Yun's words are annoying, we really can't change the current situation now. Only the lights of the dining room were still on in the three buildings in the lounge area, and two of our statues were missing. All is telling us that there is no hope.

"This is our last hope. I believe you. I looked at Zhao Haoyu, who was deep in thought.

Zhao Yuyu seemed to be very confident: "Believe me, there is no problem." ”

September 20, 2021 at 21:50 p.m.

Our last chance has begun. Among all the people, only Zhao Haoyu had a smile on his face. Everyone else looked nervous.

All fates converge on one person at this time. I looked at Xia Cheng next to me, and I was surprised that he actually had a smile on his face. What the hell is going on? Could it be that my previous assumptions were all correct? Even Xia Cheng is an AEF company?

It seems that all the problems cannot be solved.

Zhao Yuyu began to play chess: "Cannon two flat three!" ”

The statues in the garden began to move slowly.

Even if we are about to fail, we must not give up hope of success. The hope we give up will be the key to our success.

Zhao Yuyu's expression made me feel relieved, and everything would find an answer. The evening in the garden was getting deeper and deeper, the last chance we could not get into the restaurant. All eyes are gathered on the statue in the garden. It's the last battle and we have to win.

The game begins!
