Chapter 40 · I heard that this is black humor
After an hour of driving, the car approached its destination in the cold wind.
This area is full of secluded alleys, and the steep branches climb out of the courtyard walls, and it is expected that when spring officially arrives, it will be a pink cherry blossom tide.
In the courtyard, the relevant personnel of the competition have gathered, and the red carpet is spread from the courtyard door to the entrance.
Everyone was in formal attire, and to outsiders it was seen that there was a film festival going on, and the people who qualified to enter were the heavyweights of the industry.
This is the place where this famous battle was held, in the mansion of Xuanyu Zhishang.
"It's really cold here, it's already spring, but I don't feel much warmth." Sasahara said with a puff that as a member of the special inspection team, it was necessary for him to be there.
There is no guarantee that anyone who comes to the tournament will not bring some illegal cheating items into the tournament.
"This may have something to do with the trophy of this famous battle." Shunji Narita said that in all respects, the pair can be said to be deeply bound.
The championship trophy of the battle is in the style of a katana.
And it's not a trophy-type katana made of metal, but a serious katana, even with a scabbard, and although it doesn't have a blade, the workmanship is really top-notch.
The main purpose of the battle is rapid chess, which is fast and sharp, and like the famous generals of the Warring States, he has great courage, so he decided to use the katana as a model.
And the blade is a thing, which is naturally related to the cold, and with its existence, it is natural, and the surrounding nature is cold.
"It's more likely to have something to do with the character of the owner of the house, Xuanyu is originally a chess player with a very cold personality, and his chess is also full of the artistic sense of the beauty of the cold cherry blossoms." An elegant voice came from behind the two.
The two turned around and found that the other party was actually Nishichiaki.
At the moment, he was wearing a fancy powder blue blazer with zebra-like rules on it, and a gentleman's hat of the same color on his head.
Although he looks like a movie outfit no matter how you look at it, in fact this is really his formal attire.
"Mr. Dautzer, you're here too?" Shunji Narita said unexpectedly.
"No matter how I say it, I am also the current holder of the title of Dao Ce, and Xuanyu is my good friend, of course I have to show my face to cheer." Nishichiaki said with a smile.
Shunji Narita had never heard of Nishichiaki and Genyu having a personal relationship.
The personal relationship of the title holder is not good, and Narita can only speculate that it has something to do with the fortune attached to the title, but it is not clear how.
Shunji Narita subconsciously glanced back at Xuan Yuzhi, who was sitting in the room, in the center of the living room.
His face wasn't very good.
At this time, the sound of the car came from outside, which also reminded the last two protagonists of the day to be there.
The two cars stopped at the gate of the courtyard at the same time, as if they had just met the schedule, and Ke Zhiguang and Zhu Dao Forging also got out of the car at the same time, and walked all the way to the red carpet under the escort of the shutter.
Nishichiaki whistled: "Whew-speaking of which, this is the first time I've seen Ke Zhiguang in reality, I've seen it in newspapers and TV before, and I haven't played much of his chess games, so I'll have to make up for it for a while now." ”
As one of the most dashing people in the entire chess world, Nishichiaki spent a lot of his time dealing with the entertainment industry, only making up for it in the three months before the start of the Dao Strategy.
The aim is to work hard only for three months a year, and the rest of the time is on vacation.
To some extent, it is a role model for Ke Zhiguang.
"Do you have anything to say about him?" Shunji Narita asked subconsciously.
"If you look at the momentum alone, it really shouldn't be underestimated, especially ..... Especially the kind of arrogant and lazy eyes that don't take others seriously. Nishichiaki nodded appreciatively.
"That..... It was probably his expression that he hadn't woken up......"
"Huh?" Nishichiaki was stunned.
Sure enough, Ko Zhiguang yawned in front of the camera and feebly answered the media's pre-war prospect interview.
Shunji Narita took a "look" pose.
"Well, I don't really know how to look at people." Nishichiaki spread his hands helplessly.
The interview ended briefly, and Ke Zhiguang and Bamboo Dao Forging walked straight to the entrance of the mansion.
According to the arrangement of the competition ceremony, Xuan Yu Zhishang will take them on a tour of the mansion as the host, and indicate the place of residence, ask all parties about the arrangements, and show the friendship of the landlord.
I don't know who came up with this ritual tradition, to make the next few people who kill each other's horses on the chessboard perform harmoniously with the host and guest, quite black humor.
On the first day of today, I will live like this, get familiar with the environment, start the war early tomorrow morning, and finish it in one weekend.
On the way to the entrance, Ke Zhiguang's eyes have been wandering around, feeling the artistic conception of this courtyard, and his eyes naturally fall on Nishichiaki.
It's hard not to be captivated by his movie star outfit.
Dao Ce, I didn't expect this person to come......
I didn't expect that the points carried by this person actually had ..... 50。
I have to say that this integral display is much more interesting than the warning color display, and it can always give people some unexpected surprises.
"Ke Zhiguang, hello, I didn't expect the first time I saw you, it was actually in other title battles." Nishichiaki greeted kindly.
"Hello Xiqian, we'll meet at the Dao Strategy." Ke Zhiguang said.
"It's provocative as soon as you come up, isn't it?" Nishichiaki shrugged his shoulders with a smile, and then his gaze fell on the back of Kojimitsu's shoulder, "Is it necessary to bring the chessboard with you?" ”
"It's a habit, I'm more used to training on my usual chessboard." Ke Zhiguang patted the chessboard wrapped in cloth behind his shoulder.
This is an important prop transmission point for moving out of Peach Blossom Zhai.
Again, if there is something wrong, you can still drag the god of quantum mechanics out and use it.
Although this is the home of Xuanyu Zhishang, as long as this chessboard exists, this is its home field, effectively eliminating all other tricks.
At this time, the security guard came up: "Please turn your body around, this is to conduct a security check on the two of you according to the regulations." ”
It's surprising that there is such a security link, and it seems that it should be after the eavesdropping props that lost their weapons last time, the chess world has paid a lot of attention to this aspect.
Shunji Narita and Norriyuki Sasahara, the patrol partner, are also there, and they must have inspected the entire mansion to confirm that there are no problems here, and it is a clean and fair contest.
But these two people mix together every day, why do they always give people a purple feeling?
Just when he thought that the game would go smoothly, Ke Zhiguang inexplicably felt a chill on the back of his neck.
And what bad premonitions?
Forget it, don't put up flags here.
Entering the entrance and passing through a corridor to the living room, Xuanyu Zhishang, dressed in full costume, has been waiting for a long time.
"I'm glad that the two are here, and I can't wait to fight with them." Admiral Xuan Yuzhi folded the arch of his foot backwards, slowly got up, and looked at the two people in front of him.
Maybe it's because I still remember the hatred of the group photo being sandwiched in the middle at that time.
"Please come with me and visit the room I have prepared for you." Xuan Yuzhi turned his head around, and the ancient smile was full of black pressure and suppressed knives.
Well......
It's really black humor.
