If everyone is a pawn, then who are the players?

Huang Liang first thought of the first leader of the organization, but then he didn't think about it right. If the first leader is a chess player, then the second leader is at least a participant in the layout, not a pawn. The player must be in a higher position than the first leader, or even beyond the organization.

Oh, God?

If there are chess players, there must be opponents. If God is a chess player, then who is the opponent? Again, this obviously doesn't make sense. Who can play chess with God?

Until after lunch, Selena didn't tell him the answer. From beginning to end, she didn't say a word related to the organization, the mission, nor did she admit her identity, and after leaving the kitchen, she didn't even give any more hints.

Huang Liang could be sure that Selena was the second leader, but he couldn't tell where she standed. Judging from the arrangements for today's meeting, and what she has said, she does not fully represent the organization, otherwise there is no need to beat around the bush. It seems contradictory that she wants to win over Huang Liang to set up a new mountain outside the organization, but wants him to follow his own heart and act freely.

Selena's relationship with Dickinson and Mei Yiqiu is also very confusing, they are old acquaintances, even a little inexplicable triangle, and now they are all involved in the same major matter that affects the fate of mankind. Do they know each other? Is it a bunch? Or do they take advantage of each other?

Judging from the behavior during the meal, Dickinson doesn't seem to know about Selena, but Selena uses Dickinson fishing to ask Huangliang to come here, if they are not together, how can she be sure that Dickinson will bring Huangliang home?

Huang Liang didn't get a clear task, but he had already guessed something.

The scene in Old Wolfe's dream must be related to a very important secret, maybe a treasure, maybe something else, in short, more important than the current trillion assets of the Wolf family.

The organization of the invasion of Old Wolf failed, and someone needed to break through from other directions, and it was not the turn of Huang Liang to carry out this task, but Selena chose him. After the departure of the First Leader, Selena's decision should have been unquestioned, so Huang Liang has become a pivotal player in the organization, and according to Howard, the two of them can already be equal.

Selena's choice of Huangliang obviously had other plans, otherwise he would not have been told to act according to the true free thoughts in his heart. The so-called freedom, understood by Huangliang, is completely autonomous self-awareness. This is combined with the theory of the chess player's chess piece, which is to cut off the player's "hand".

He guessed that the player was a being who controlled or influenced them consciously, and that the player controlled the game without knowing it.

More than once in the past, he had felt that something was influencing his thinking and conscious decisions. Now that Selena reminded him, he probably understood.

The biggest problem is that he doesn't know who this chess player is and where the "hand" is. He suspected that Selena didn't know either, and no chess piece could know who the chess player was.

As Selena said, Huang Liang is a smart person. Although he was not given a specific task, from Selena's hints, he already knew what to do next.

It was dusk when I got back to Wolf Manor.

Huang Liang got off the bus stop and walked slowly down the street. There are many willow trees on the street in Wenxi, and when he sees the willow trees, he thinks of Wuzhong, and the willows that can be seen everywhere by the flowing river and the ancient bridgehead of Qianmo. The wicker droops, like the long hair of a spring girl. The wind is swaying, and its posture is graceful; The warbler chirps, and its voice is exquisite. In the meantime, people linger.

He saw Martha standing under a willow tree.

After all, the willow trees in Vancouver are not as good as Wuzhong, the branches are not so fine, and they look bare, like old trees that have lived for hundreds of years.

This scene suddenly reminded him of the old willow tree in a place that was truly left in his memory but never really went to - Liuying Lane.

He remembered a woman who had stood under the old tree like this. The man she loved lay in his room on the second floor of the bar, asleep forever with the crow.

The crow was made into a taxidermy. A woman's years go by.

Huang Liang clearly remembers that the lifelong flower walked lonely in the alley at dusk with her back bent, and stopped when she came to the old willow tree, and stretched out her old and thin hand to caress the same thin willow.

He clearly remembered that there was always a pot of star beauties at the back door of the bar, and a key was pressed under the basin.

He clearly remembered that the woman helped the unconscious man to the bench in the corridor every day to bask in the sun, saying that people always have to bask in the sun, maybe they would wake up one day!

All of this became a dream bubble because the man came back later, but it was clearly left in Huang Liang's memory.

He knew it wasn't a dream. It was a real plane. In addition to the memories, there are some real things left in him, such as his spiritual power, which has experienced that life and has grown tremendously. And most importantly, in that life, in Willow Camp Lane, in the clean cabin upstairs of that dilapidated bar, his spirit was infected by human emotions, and from then on he had emotions. He went from a parasitic consciousness to the state of "man".

Sometimes he wondered if all this was designed by Aoki, otherwise how did that guy come back from the enclosed zero-dimensional space? With the ability he later showed, how could he easily fall into the trap he had designed?

Each time he recalls Aoki's laid-back and confident appearance in prison, he speculates less and less, and becomes more and more convinced that his suspicions are correct.

Aoki, Mei Yiqiu, Dickinson, Selena...... These people are more mysterious than the other, and their bureau is very big, so big that it may transcend human beings and time and space.

Martha saw the sorghum and beckoned to him cheerfully.

He saw the smile on Martha's face, as bright as the clouds in the sky.

"Yellow—" Martha cried, "you're finally back!" I've been waiting for you for a long time! ”

"Are you specifically waiting for me?"

"yes, I think you'll be back by bus, waiting for you right here."

"Don't you have to take care of Mr. Wolfe?"

"Ah, Master Wolf's health is suddenly much better today, and he can already sit up and eat."

"This ...... Is it true? Huang Liang was a little surprised.

"Of course it's true!" Martha smiled, "It's your credit that Lord Wolf is still kissing, and now the whole Wolf Manor is talking about you, saying that you are a good doctor." Little Mr. Wolf has prepared a sumptuous dinner and is waiting for you to go back! ”

Of course, Huang Liang knew that he hadn't done anything, and if Wolf was really good, it must have been Selena's method, but it was a little too fast.

He said quietly, "That's great." ”

Martha pointed to the bicycle parked in the shade of the tree on the side of the road and said, "Let's go!" ”

"Or a bike?"

"Yes, there is still a long way from here to the manor, and the manor is so big, it will take a long time to walk without riding at night!"

"But there's only one car......"

"Or like in the morning, you take me." Martha smiled playfully at him.

"Ah, but, this is not a park, and it doesn't matter if you ride a bicycle in the city and take people to the traffic police?"

"No, just cross the intersection in front, it's the Wolf family's territory, and there's no police to meddle."

At Martha's urging, Huang Liang pushed his bicycle through the intersection ahead, and then carried Martha, like in the morning light of Stanley Park, to the beautiful rose garden, and at dusk in Wincy, he circled her and drove to Wolf Manor.

The road is long, and there is no end in sight; Morning and dusk, winter and summer, cold and heat are difficult to get rid of. But there are always some beautiful things in life, such as the rows of swaying willow trees by the roadside, the smiling face of the bright girl in front of you, and the faint charming fragrance under the nose......

Huang Liang had the illusion that what he was going to at the moment was not the exquisite and magnificent French-style manor, but the quaint and messy old street in Wuzhong, with an old tree in front of him, and a woman standing under the tree......
