"I used the clock myself, and it always felt like it didn't have a noticeable effect." Nishichiaki voiced his doubts.

According to Tatsuki Koshikawa, its effect is to leave 2 seconds for a certain party in the 20-second countdown, but Nishichiaki actually felt it and couldn't quite feel the fluctuations in this layer of time.

But that's nothing, his Taoist title is a two-day ultra-long chess battle, with up to 10 hours per side, and he is really not very sensitive to the countdown.

However, in this case, for professional rapid chess teams like Ke Zhiguang and Bamboo Knife Forging, can you really not feel it?

"Whether it will work or not depends only on Tomogami himself..... Just look forward to tomorrow, Zhishang will not let us down. Koshikawa said.

He continued: "But let's not forget that Zhishang's goal is to win the championship, but our goal is just to make him a comrade. ”

Nishichiaki said, "Understood...... Speaking of teammates, have the rest of our teammates finalized now? ”

"It's just a matter of intelligence, probably the day after the end of this famous battle, he will take the initiative to contact us, and then I will trouble you to answer it."

"Understood." Nishichiaki nodded lightly.

After a period of getting along, he and Koshikawa Ryūji also got acquainted with each other, at least to confirm that he was not a neurotic who suddenly pulled out his pistol and killed his subordinates while jumping on the elegant Swan Lake, and there was not much riddle in the dialogue.

He is crazy, but he is also full of reason.

To be honest, this kind of person is much more scary than neurotic.

Now Nishichiaki is not only thinking about the next dragon throne battle, but also thinking about how to cut the table with Koshikawa Ryuji after the dragon seat battle, so that he can still mix in the industry in the future.

"But there is one thing that I have to explain in advance, under the pressure of the Night God Guojing, it is not so easy to assemble a strong and trustworthy team, you will meet two teammates other than me and Tomojo, don't be disappointed, Zhang."

Xi Qianzhang closed his eyes and smiled: "I understand, the main force is the three of us." ”

"That's it, by the way, the lineup on the side of the Night God Kingdom has also been finalized, he has enabled the full nine-stage lineup, Saito Shudao leads the main general, and the position of the deputy general is taken by Mugu Shengnoka, and I don't know the list below."

"A full nine-dan lineup? Can those people still play chess? Nishichiaki was a little surprised.

"Don't underestimate their strength, in the era when fortune was not born, they were already playing chess, it was a pure chess that completely removed the pursuit of utilitarianism, and now the prosperity of the chess world is based on their hard work."

"But their strength is ...... now"

"This is not a problem, one of the powers of the Night God Kingdom as an imperial chess game is to give them the ability to return to their youth, and then train intensively for more than three months, they will be extremely strong."

The ability to regain youth, this is the first time that Nishichiaki has heard this statement.

But there's nothing strange about it, just look at the overly young face of the Night God Kunijing.

"Then this pure nine-dan team is our biggest opponent this time?"

"Of course not, our biggest opponent has always been Kezhiguang's team."

Xi Qianzhang sighed lightly: "Sure enough, I still can't get around him, so who will his teammates be?" ”

"Judging from his network, Harushima Deer is very likely to join, and there may also be some sparks of comrades colliding with the bamboo knife forging in this famous battle, and there are still two places, I don't know."

"This ..... Is this kind of strength really qualified to stand on the stage of the finals? Nishichiaki was a little embarrassed.

Looking at the competition in the past two days, in terms of hard power, Ke Zhiguang and Bamboo Knife Forging are probably enough, but when it comes to the finals of the Dragon Throne Battle, it is not only hard power that is needed, but also another inexplicable power.

There is a high probability that bamboo knife forging does not have this kind of power.

Kojimitsu's words are not clear.

It is surprising that Harushima Deer can rub into this team.

With such strength on paper, the next two places feel even more unstable.

may come up in the end, and the lineup can only be described as a grass platform team.

Yuechuan Longji's laughter was a little drunk: "It's still the same sentence, don't underestimate them, for Ke Zhiguang, you just need to wait and see, and for bamboo knife forging, I have always regarded him as a completely equal existence to Xuanyu Zhishang, and for Qingdao Deer...... But don't forget, she is the daughter of Harushima Isshin, and the soul of Isshin's predecessors is housed in her chess. ”

"Well, I'll be wary of them," Nishichiaki nodded, not going to go on on the subject.

Although they were talking about other players, Nishichichiaki was very afraid that his name would be called out and given a negative evaluation full of euphemism.

If it is a negative evaluation by other chess players, Nishichizenaki will only think that it is a jealousy of his peers, but if it is pointed out by Ryuji Koshikawa, it will give people a sense of fatalism like a judgment.

Thus, the talks in the dark of night ended, and the sun rose the next day with a residual red.

......

......

The next day's game started as usual, and the commentary team took up their positions early.

"Hello everyone, this is the second day of the round-robin of the finals of the famous generals, I'm Reiko."

"Uh...... I'm Harushima deer. ”

"Princess Harushima explained for a day yesterday, but still hasn't adapted to the environment of the commentary?"

"I can't say that, it's just that I didn't sleep well yesterday, after all, today may be the last day, and I'm a little nervous." Harushima shier yawned, as if she didn't speak much through her brain.

"This ...... Will other people be nervous about the finals? ”

"Ah, not that, I mean...... Well, the thought of saying goodbye to this commentary booth today is going to be nerve-wracking all night. Harushima immediately pretended to be reserved.

I'm really embarrassed to admit that although this is someone else's final, she has been rolling spring rolls in bed all night inexplicably, and her chest is oppressed wave after wave.

The more optimistic she is about Ke Zhiguang winning the championship, the stronger this pressure will be.

- This, I don't think I really planted a flag or something for him, right?

Reiko said to the screen: "Now that Xuanyu Zhishang has been in place in advance, his face doesn't look very good, it is very likely that he studied hard all night in the training room last night...... The referee team on this side also entered, and it was possible to see the chief referee of this famous battle, the Inoue couple had arrived. ”

In the game hall, the seventeenth dan couple were sitting upright on the referee's seat, and the powerful aura released together made the surroundings tremble and feel uneasy.

As if they didn't feel much of the chill, they didn't choose to pull up the floor-to-ceiling windows leading to the courtyard and let the cold air pour in.

Xuan Yu Zhishang nodded briefly to the Inoue couple, showing the respect of the juniors to their predecessors, and then continued to bow his head and close his eyes.

"Another player, the seventh section of the bamboo knife, has also arrived."

In the first game this morning, the bamboo knife forging vs. Xuanyu Zhishang, the points of both sides were 2:3, and the next round was Ke Zhiguang vs. bamboo knife forging.

Theoretically, two more matches will determine the winner of this year's celebrity battle.

To put it bluntly, it is the bamboo knife forging that loses two games in a row, ensuring that he and Xuanyu only have 3 points, and then sending Ke Zhiguang to 6 points.

Ke Zhiguang winning the bamboo knife forging should be a high probability event, but Xuanyu winning the bamboo knife forging, this probability is not so great, especially when he collapsed yesterday, he still hasn't slept all night.

The two phases are superimposed, and the entire series of events is cleared in two rounds, which is a theoretical event.

"Ke Zhiguang shouldn't have slept very well last night, the championship is about to win, and he is worried that a champion will slip away, this tension and pressure can be imagined, maybe he also didn't sleep all night." Reiko said.

Harushima Lu replied as if he had penetrated everything: "No, this person slept absolutely soundly last night, and now he is probably on his way to get up." ”

"To be reasonable, I'm getting close."

"Oh, yes, so you've woken up - hey! Why are you in again? Harushima Lu turned his head and found that Ke Zhiguang had entered the kotsu without realizing it.

For a moment, Jio toes touched.

"Hmm!" Harushima deer choked like an electric shock.

"Well, after thinking about it, it's better to watch the battle here."

I slept really well last night, and I woke up early.

When you wake up, go outside the courtyard and see if the pink convertible is still there.

Sure enough, it's gone, I don't know what Nishichiaki came to do last night.

So he turned to Harushima Deer to take a look at her situation, but after seeing the kotatsu, he couldn't help but drill into it and feel the warmth.

No way, men are all eels.

"The wind has stopped, the rain has sunny, I think I can do it again, I am the commentator of this game, please advise." Ke Zhiguang greeted the camera.

There are two minutes left in the game.

A casual look up, Xuanyuzhi's attention ghostly swept over the clock on the right.

His eyes widened in shock, and his sleepiness was swept away.

On the clock, that unnatural red imprint, that color seems to have been seen somewhere..... Nishichiaki's slightly ostentatious ring.

And so that day was the case again.

The clock that could be used to cheat and help him gain a 2-second advantage was at his hand.

He moistened his dry throat, and cold sweat began to run down.

- What should I do, do you want to just use it like this?

- With this thing, you shouldn't be able to find out, right?

No, you shouldn't be able to find out, players can't control so much during the game, they may realize after the game, they always feel that the last game seems to be a little faster, but even then most of them will not care, this kind of excuse for losing, most people will not do it.

- And what about the Inoue couple?

Xuan Yuzhi glanced cautiously at the referee's bench and found that they didn't react either.

In the whole scene, he was the only one who knew that there was something wrong with this clock.

The ultimate beneficiary will be himself.

The field of vision around him began to narrow, the light began to dim, and in the darkness, only himself, the chessboard, and the clock next to him were lit.

However, once you use this kind of cheating prop, it will be a stain on your life, and maybe it will become a handle for some people.

But now he is facing the situation that he is forced to the end of the score, if he loses this famous battle, his own fortune will also be damaged, and his family's business operation will also be greatly affected.

The suffocating feeling of depression was like a palm choking his neck.

"Xuanyu, your face doesn't look good." Inoue opened the door suddenly, and his voice was like a calm rock.

"No, it's fine." Xuanyu Zhishang shook his head and stopped the cold sweat that was flowing more and more.

He seemed a little out of shape, and it is estimated that many people noticed that he was too nervous.

In the commentary room, Harushima Deer looked at this scene and said, "He..... Just so nervous? ”

Ke Zhiguang held his chin with a look of sudden realization.

It turned out that the problem was with him.

It seems that Xi Qianzhang suddenly visited this place last night, and he must have come up for Xuanyuzhi.

"After thinking about it, I still went to watch the game." Ke Zhiguang got up from the kotatsu and ran away.

Although it is not allowed to enter the room directly to watch the battle, you can lie on the wooden platform in the courtyard and peek inside.

Ke Zhiguang lay on the court platform in the posture of a lurker, quietly glancing inside.

Now that the game has begun, there is nothing unusual in the room, and there is no trace of netherworld objects.

With the Inoue couple sitting here, there should be no demons and monsters to interfere.

After all possible factors have been ruled out, the only thing left that is possible is to do it..... That's all that's left, right?

In that case, it would be a misfortune.

At that time, he knocked out the loss of martial arts, and the [Silver Watch] that broke out was just enough to help him tell the time perfectly and accurately, not so much that this was a spiritual object, but that it was a skill.

Accurate time, start to launch -

The fast attack on the chessboard is like a storm!

Xuanyu Zhishang can't manage so much anymore.

Only by devoting himself to the game of chess can he relieve his anxiety and anxiety, and can he break out of this dark labyrinthine tunnel.

Moreover, he still has a two-second advantage, doesn't he?

In that case, there's nothing to be afraid of, no matter what the final result is, win the game first!

In the master's resolute fighting spirit, the black warrior drew his sword.

The slam that cut through the sea unleashed and broke through Shura's defenses.

The bangs in front of the bamboo knife forging denomination fell off a handful.

"In this game, Xuanyu Zhishang won, two and a half eyes." Inoue Marie writes a graceful victory and delivers it.

"Thank you." After receiving the winning word, Xuan Yuzhi left the room with his shoulders down, looking like a mysterious staleness, as if he had lost the chess.

On the contrary, the bamboo knife forging is much calmer, and has already reviewed on the chessboard.

"I see, after a night of sleepless struggle, the state can really pick up." He pondered the game of chess.

Ke Zhiguang couldn't see the chess clearly because he was watching the traitor from afar, but just watching the symbolic spirit of the two people fight against each other, it was enough to know that Xuanyu's state of wisdom had returned.

The two [诛心のblades] stuck in the black warrior's back also disappeared.

And the result given by the accurate time signal is...... There was nothing wrong with the clock, it was just ten seconds on both sides, and there was no black whistle on both sides of the clock.

Perhaps, it's because I'm overthinking.
