There is no doubt that the dead old man is a good leader, but he is not a good opponent......

Because he can't play chess.

As the most famous foodie in the universe, the old man's lifelong wish is to eat and wait for death. If you can eat more, you will never eat less, and if you can lie down, you will never stand. His greatest hobby is lying on the shore of a sparkling lake surrounded by trees and eating all kinds of delicacies. Of course, it's better to have a beauty to put in his mouth. But he didn't dare to tell the old woman about this when he was killed.

So the dead old man is very lazy, and it is undoubtedly a cruel thing to expect a very lazy person to learn to play chess, very cruel.

But today the dead old man had to stand up, go up to the altar, and face an old man with a small pebble.

A stone is not a stone, it is a chess piece.

The altar is not an altar, it is a chessboard.

In the 596th section, as soon as the parting of fate stepped on, he was about to enter the game, the chess game.

On the altar, Lestro looked at the dead old man calmly, his fingers dry and steady, and the pebbles between his fingers were fixed in mid-air. He has not fallen, but he has fallen. Everyone in the cave was connected to his fingers at the moment. His every move affects their future.

Fate Mimicry, the weirdest and most dangerous technique in the occult. In this way, he used it casually, and it was like a cabbage everywhere. But only the dead old man knew what kind of power was hidden in his casual posture.

There is a great terror between life and death, but this horror is not life and death, but the unknown.

The footsteps stopped at the first step under the altar, and the dead old man stopped.

It's not that he doesn't want to go, but at this moment, an equally shriveled palm quietly appeared and grabbed his sleeve from behind.

It's like that first sight a thousand years ago.

"You can't go." The old woman whispered. The tone is unusually gentle.

"You're too lazy to do your own laundry, you can't cook your own food, and you have to hide from me even when you look at other little girls. The timid ones are like rats, what else will they do besides fight? Let you play chess is better than kill the 596th section of fate to leave you. After eating and waiting to die for so many years, don't be a hero at this time, right? ”

"............" The dead old man was silent, but his gaze fell and fell on the hand of his sleeve.

The hand was shriveled and old. Like a chicken claw. But the old man remembered that it had been very white and soft. Like a lotus flower.

"Somebody has to go." The dead old man said. "You and I both know what the Dao Destiny Mimicry means. It's dangerous enough for the kids to follow us on this mission. This hopeless future should not be borne by them. ”

"There is no future." The old woman whispered. "In fact, from the moment we came here, our future was broken. I've been hesitant to tell you. ”

"Huh?" Unexpectedly, as soon as the old woman's brainless words came out, the dead old man, who was calm just now, suddenly became nervous. His eyes suddenly became extremely sharp.

"Are you sure you read that right?" The dead old man grabbed the old woman's hand and said in a deep voice.

"It's not that I read it correctly, but I didn't see it at all." The old woman replied in a low voice. At the same time, he looked down at the dead old man clasping his hand. "That's what I say because I didn't see it. You should know what this means. ”

"Explain ......" The dead old man opened his mouth, a hint of despair in his eyes. Without. ”

"Hmm." The old woman nodded slightly, but the next sentence was even more clueless. "I said, you touched my mother's hand again, are you responsible for me this time?"

"You!?" The dead old man suddenly became angry. "When is this all in, do you still care about this?"

"Shouldn't you care?" The old woman suddenly raised her head and interrupted the dead old man's words. "What does it matter to me whether I have a future or not? Originally, I didn't plan to go back alive when I came out this time. It's just that...... You touched the old lady's hand. The old lady's hand is so easy to touch? The last time you had to deal with the Mana Labyrinth, you touched it, and you touched it, and this time you have to play sloppy with the old lady? Are you really a bully when you are a mother? ”

"Huh!?" The dead old man's face was suddenly extremely embarrassed, and he hurriedly wanted to let go of the old woman's hand, but he never thought that his wrist suddenly tightened, and he was actually held by the old woman instead.

When I looked at it again, the old woman's face turned a faint cháo red.

"I said that you go your way, and I will go to my bridge. Now you first propose to join forces with me, and you are cheapened by the old lady one after another. Say, do you regret it? ”

"Huh!?" The dead old man was dumbfounded. hurriedly denied it. "Where...... Where? I, I didn't ......."

"Do you dare deny it!?" The old woman interrupted the dead old man's words, and her resolute attitude seemed to have decided that the dead old man was hard-mouthed.

When encountering such an unreasonable old woman, what can a dead old man do? He said a little anxiously. "What do you do with the past? The most important thing at the moment is here. It doesn't matter if we don't have a future, but our mission. Must complete ......"

And when he had said that, he was to go to the altar.

But he didn't succeed, because the moment he let go, the old woman suddenly used force and held his palm firmly. The dead old man was slightly startled, and when he looked back, he saw the old woman's slightly calm face.

At this moment, the old woman no longer had the arrogance just now, but showed a hint of indifference.

She silently looked at the dead old man for a while. Said softly.

"You don't want to go. This kind of thing, you are not as good as me. ”

"How can this be?" The dead old man was suddenly anxious. Even before I had never been so urgent. The voice involuntarily became much louder. "Men should do the fighting, you just have to hide behind the woman. We've known each other for so long, when did I tell you to stand in the way? In men's affairs, women rarely come to participate. ”

The dead old man's tone was very irritable, but he didn't allow him to think much about it at this time. He's an absolute machismo. Or there is something wrong with this, but you can't do anything to let a woman stand in the way.

Fighting is a man's business, and this consciousness is no longer thinking, but instinct.

In the past, as long as he showed this attitude, the old woman would definitely give in. But this time he miscalculated. Looking at his almost angry face, the old woman just looked at it calmly, and it took a long time before she looked away. "Needless to say, old fellow, you and I have known each other for so long, and I let you every time. But this time ......"

"I'm sorry."

The old woman said softly, and the next moment, an undetectable light lit up in her hand, and in an instant, countless generations of dark red silk threads appeared outside the dead old man's body, trapping him like a zongzi. His pupils contracted suddenly, and he opened his mouth to say something.

But he couldn't say it anymore. The dark red silk thread not only trapped his **, but also his strength. He could only watch as the old woman walked past him and walked up to the altar step by step.

Just as she was about to step onto the altar, she stopped, was silent for a moment, and then spoke.

"I'm sorry, old fellow. But I guess this is the last time I'm sorry to say to you. You always choose to pretend to be confused about the past, but you should know the truth. You can hide once or twice, how can you hide three or four times? I know you've been thinking about her, but she's dead. Since you like to pretend to be confused so much, why can't you really be confused once? Isn't it your favorite thing to say that the past is just a thing to pass? ”

At this, the old woman paused, and a trace of pain flashed on her old face, but it disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"Okay. Having said that. Actually, I want to tell you. The old lady is annoyed. So, from now on, you don't have to worry about your mother bullying you again. This time, the enemy will be dealt with by the old lady. You know you can't do that, and I'm an expert at it. In the entire Star Thief, there will be no one more knowledgeable than me. ”

"Who called, and they all called me a witch?"

As she spoke, the old woman raised her feet slightly, and stood on the altar without looking back.

Stand up, chessboard!

In!!

"No!" The dead old man's eyes suddenly cracked, and he couldn't wait to shout to stop. But he couldn't do anything at the moment but watch the old woman finish it all. Then I saw that above the altar, Lestro's hand finally moved.

In the dead old man's surprised gaze, his fingers fell slightly. He put the pebble beside him.

"Life and death, love and hatred. Your human feelings are really confusing. He said. A hint of gloom flashed in his eyes. "I've never experienced such feelings. Sorry for not understanding what happened between you. ”

"It's just a game." The old woman smiled slightly. "The game where life is a stake. It's just a pity that I seem to have lost the bet. ”

"Really?" Lestero glanced at the dead old man under the altar and shook his head slightly. "But it seems to me that you didn't lose."

"There's just no winner. To lose is to lose. The old woman sighed. I am willing to gamble and lose, and of course I will not pay the bill. But...... You don't know about this kind of game, but it makes me a little curious. ”

"We don't have a female there." Lestro replied frankly. "In order to keep our fighters away from cowardice. All of our children are born away from their mothers. Reproduction is also done by selecting and plundering the best mothers. So we're all the best fighters in the universe. The meaning of female xìng for us is only to reproduce and consume. ”

"It's brutal." The old woman nodded. Said with a serious face. "So you're all bastards. It is also a matter of course to be exterminated. ”

"That's just because we're not strong enough." Lestro replied. The face was calm, as if I couldn't hear the old woman's sarcasm. "Survival of the fittest is the iron law of the universe. We are annihilated, and naturally we are weak. It has nothing to do with what you call a bastard. Not...... I seem to understand your anger as a female xìng, but it doesn't mean anything to me. ”

"I'm here because of fate. You are standing here because of fate. Whether it's a relationship or a mission. It was fate that brought us to this chessboard. Under its witness, it is decided who is strong. ”

"The strong survive, it's so simple."

As she spoke, Lestro glanced at the dead old man outside the altar. Said regretfully. "It's a pity that I want to keep you for a while. I didn't expect you to break my plan. That man is your so-called partner. It's a shame I couldn't fight him. But it's not bad to be able to kill you in front of him. ”

As he spoke, Lestro did not hesitate to twist the stone next to him, raised his hand, and dropped the stone.

In silence, the old woman's figure suddenly blurred, as if someone had erased her existence!!
