In the harbor in the night rain, the beams of the lighthouse cut through the rain back and forth, and the TV helicopter hovered high in the sky, looking down on the overly majestic fighting spirit below.

"Now we are broadcasting to you the scene of the Dragon Seat Battle, and a team of more than 300 chess players is ready to step into the battlefield at any time!" On top of the helicopter, reporters braved the torrential rain to explain endlessly.

The helicopter pulls the angle to the highest level and skims over in a swooping posture for a close-up of the entire cruise ship.

With a length of more than 200 meters, a height and width of more than 50 meters, and a capacity of thousands of people, it is not as large as the world's top luxury cruise ships, but it can be regarded as a small maritime city.

Its predecessor was called the Princess Evere, which seems to be an American cruise line, and the biggest feature of this company is that it likes to name its ships after the Princess.

But at this moment, for this chess battle, it has a new name, the Dragon Palace.

The Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, this is its best interpretation.

The restless waves crashed and the rain poured down, and the behemoth in front of you was like an armed castle, ready for war.

Hundreds of hearts are beating hot, sending friendly or hostile signals to each other, and of course some people are coming with a tourist mentality.

Yamaoka was holding his knees and panting for breath, probably too nervous, and Soma Masae patted his back to recuperate.

There are also the duo's Shunji Narita and Norriyuki Sasahara, who are talking and laughing freely in front of the camera in front of the interview.

There are also An Yongxin, Damu Chungui, and many Taoist friends of Taohuazhai...... There are also every colleague in the chess academy, all of whom are familiar faces, and all of them are there.

Everyone was wearing raincoats, and they looked bright in the rain, and the torrential rain could not extinguish the enthusiasm in everyone's hearts.

Ke Zhiguang felt the atmosphere in front of him.

He could hear the surging sound of the war drums beating in everyone's hearts, which played against the sound of the rain and flowed into the distance with the wind.

Uniform uniforms, huge cruise ships, threats from the deep sea in the distance...... No matter how you look at it, it looks like a sci-fi masterpiece, working together to conquer a distant threat.

Again, if this kind of ship is placed in Conan, it will be sunk.

If it is combined with the confrontation and wit of this chess game, it should be the hope number in "Gambling Apocalypse".

Although the name is hope, it is actually a place of despair, countless people have fallen from hope to hell, but there are also people who have been reborn in desperate situations.

"It's finally come to this." Ke Zhiguang looked back and said, suddenly there was a feeling of the last episode of a single season of the drama.

His gaze swept over the faces of each of his teammates, and their expressions were comforting as the rain washed them down.

All showed the same excited expression as Ke Zhiguang.

"I always feel that racing in this kind of boat may encounter accidents, especially with people like you." Xingcai complained silently.

Qingdao Deer also seemed to be reminded, and showed a vigilant look at Ke Zhiguang: "Yes, this guy has been playing chess with strange things all day long, and this time he may be ......."

"It's good to know it, just know it, do you know how to swim? If you can't swim, you can rely on your own buoyancy, and if you say Harushima, remember to hold on to the star, and she can take you to float. ”

"What do you mean?" Harushima Deer was surprised.

Xing Marry nodded very meekly: "Well, I know, I will give half of the buoyancy to Long'er." ”

She gently hung her chest, showing where the buoyancy was.

"Go, go! I don't need your buoyancy, do you see my two ponytails? I can just take off on the spot, kneel down when the time comes, and beg me to take you! Hum! Harushima snorted angrily and turned the ponytail with his hand, turning out a small windmill.

Although from her point of view, it was simulating the propeller of a helicopter, but in Ke Zhiguang's view..... It's more like driving your own car.

"Senpai? Now that you've learned to make jokes in public? Constellation gave her a whimsical look.

"Ahem, I mean girls are made of water, and Harushima is ...... Defensive, although she weighs very lightly, she may be a little denser, so remember to take her with you when the time comes. "Ke Zhiguang is talking nonsense about contradictory scientific evidence.

It's a joke to ask if you can swim, but considering that the ship could flip over, swimming is a must-have.

Ke Zhiguang and Xing married each other, and the whole team, as long as he and the other party knew the consequences of losing this game.

Xing Yao grinned kindly, as if to say that it was no problem.

I don't know if her no problem means that she can swim or that even if she flips, it's fine, anyway, there is a night god country in the capital.

It's also possible that it's saying that you won't fail.

"Hey, what are you talking about, what doesn't float, what stock is rising?" Brother Forging Zi, who had been talking to other teams, suddenly turned around and asked.

"This ..... Ahem, forging Sang, if the boat sinks suddenly in this race, do you have the ability to swim to save yourself? Ke Zhiguang asked seriously.

Bamboo Dao Forging confidently poked his thumb at himself: "I was talking about this, this is relieved, when I was in Hokkaido, I often dived into the lake alone to fish, not to mention that for chess players, as long as you hold the chess pieces tightly, you don't have to worry about not being able to float!" ”

This......

Such a great and righteous declaration made Ke Zhiguang feel ashamed.

Don't say anything, I'll give you my clam stone, Ah Forging, use it to float up!

Shi Quan held an umbrella on the side, smiling at them, like a watchman in the rain, watching for the new era.

An uproar of "come on and win" came from the side, attracting Ke Zhiguang's attention.

It was a cheering ceremony for the Yamaoka group, to the effect that they compared the folding fans to each other and tied them together.

It's like in Yu-Gi-Oh DM before the next Becas dungeon, everyone has to fold their hands together to cheer up, known as the iron wall of friendship.

"Hey, we can't lose to them either, we have to have a wave of this!" Encouraged by the bamboo knife forging, he took the lead in pulling out his folding fan.

"Well said, come." Ke Zhiguang followed, and everyone also drew out folding fans one after another, overlapping each other in the rain, and the thunder and lightning witnessed everything.

Seeing the fan of the deer on Harushima, Ke Zhiguang was stunned.

It was the folding fan that Kojimitsu temporarily stuffed for Harushima Deer to use for protection during the last Nova Wars.

However, Harushima Deer also made some decorations on it, such as writing the Chinese character font "女流の第一人" on it with a brush, and there is a red panda pendant hanging on the back.

"Ahem, don't look at it, this is the fan you gave at the beginning, I'm too lazy to buy a new one, so I'll just make do with it first." Harushima Deer said.

"No problem, I'll give it to you."

Speaking of which, the chess fan in his hand was still prostituted from her.

Well, let's just replace it.

Ke Zhiguang's gaze turned to Shi Quan on the side: "Quick, you come too, if you don't have a fan, use your hands." ”

Shi Quan was stunned: "Do I want it too?" ”

"Nonsense, as we all know, a team of five must have six members, just like the Four Heavenly Kings have five people." Ke Zhiguang said as a matter of course.

Looking at the five people in front of him, Shi Quan couldn't help but let out a chuckle and touched the back of his head.

"Then, come on!" A rush of blood came up.

He raised his hand and waved, and the umbrella flew into the sky.

The sixth fan, appear!

"The slogan plays its own!" Ke Zhiguang shouted.

"Come on!"

"Victory!"

"Win the championship!"

"It is incumbent upon our generation to recast the glory of the chess world!" This is the slogan of Kezhiguang.

"Kill Yingmei and win!"

"Wait, who said this last one?" Harushima Deer looked up suddenly, and found that the fan had suddenly turned into eight.

"Kuma Sakura, Eagle Beauty! How did you two get in! She breathed fire angrily.

"Well, I couldn't help but join in when I saw you guys doing the pre-ship ceremony......" Xiong Ying said innocently.

"You guys go to your own team to do it, come to our team to cheer you on, what do you want to do? Being an undercover agent? ”

Yingmei said calmly: "Modify my slogan and change it to Stupid Bear." ”

"Then I'll change it, as long as I live one more round than Yingmei, I will win!"

The lively pre-war atmosphere spread through the crowd, the various teams were preparing for the ceremony, and the slogans were becoming more and more varied.

Ke Zhiguang vaguely heard the declaration that if he killed himself, he would win.

Shi Quan looked at everything around him with relief, and the rain softened a lot in his eyes, like a picture scroll in his memory.

The younger generation has grown up.

When the temperature rose to the highest point before the war, a pitch-black Rolls-Royce came to the VIP tunnel with its headlights, making a very high-profile appearance, and the rain invisibly opened the way for it, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

The Kudan group has arrived.

The black-clad staff came to the front of the car with an umbrella, opened the door left and right, and the five nine-dan chess players stepped out of the car with a VIP treatment.

The empress, Mugu Shengnaixiang.

Dean of the Chess Academy, Xia Fuying.

The only chess player who has ever drawn with Hanno Kenjuban.,Kitaniwa Kunosuke.。

The only chess player who has won all three titles, Jihai Cangweimen, and this person is also the teacher of bamboo knife forging.

And...... The only eternal dragon seat, Saito arithmetic.

These are antique chess players in the chess world, symbolizing the glory and pinnacle of a bygone era.

Many chess players suspect that they can't play anymore and are no longer young people, so they have enthusiastically signed up for the competition.

But it wasn't until they saw them in person that they realized they were wrong.

Something pulls them back to their youth, or maybe they've never grown old and have always been in their prime.

A division worthy of the kings of any era.

Escorted by umbrellas, the Kudan group climbed all the way up the stairs to the ship, and the red carpet was spread along the way, without hiding the privilege of being a VIP and boarding the ship in advance.

Walking to the top of the stairs, Saito subconsciously glanced down, and just happened to meet Kojimitsu.

Although there is a lot of people and umbrellas below, this kid is easy to find, and you can find it at a glance.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the tacit understanding was all silent.

Saito's points are displayed...... 120。

I see, that's what the night god Kunikyo means when he says that himself, Saito, and Koshikawa Ryuji are very similar.

In terms of bond value, there are more or less some of them with Saito.

And in terms of chess score, you and your opponent should be so high that you burst the table, right?

Whether it's the style of chess or what you're looking for on the chess path, the final X should also be a high number.

In this way, Koshikawa Ryuji is even more expected.

After all the members of the nine-dan group boarded the ship, the Ryugong was immediately energized and lit up from a height of more than 50 meters from the bottom to the top, and the entire cabin was as brightly lit as a palace ball.

The stage was completed in an instant, holding up the pearl like a mussel on the sea.

"Chess players, please get on board the boat in an orderly manner and check in according to the rooms allocated in advance." The announcer's voice was heard on the radio.

"The opening scene is really unexpected, and I thought that Ryuza himself would give an impassioned speech in front of the searchlight before letting us get on the boat." ”

Indeed, when it comes to this, the picture is there.

It would be better to shout "Welcome to my palace!" ”

This......

The crowd began to flow, and they walked down the stairs to the bustling palace, and the first thing to do when they boarded the ship was to shake off the raincoat on their body, revealing an evening dress-like chess suit.

"Then that's the end of my mission, goodbye guys, and good luck." Shi Quan put the umbrella up again.

"At this time, shouldn't you say goodbye next time?" Kojiguang's voice sounded behind him.

Shi Quan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Yes, see you next time, if there is fate." ”

After saying this final goodbye, his thin body went in the opposite direction of the crowd and disappeared at the entrance to the port.

Everyone looked at the back of him leaving, he appeared inexplicably, and he left full of insincerity, as if this person had never existed.

But a closer look at the recollection, his figure does remain in everyone's memory.

"Who the hell is he? Is it really a disciple of Shixin? Harushima asked, looking at the entrance of the port, although the figure of the other party had long since disappeared.

"It can only be this identity, and only the level of a Shixin disciple has this kind of strength." Bamboo knife forging said.

"I ..... That's all I can say. Xingcai nodded.

"Okay, let's get on the boat, if you have the chance, of course you can ask him for clarification." Xing Marry lay behind Xingcai and pushed the other party forward.

Not..... I see, buoyancy can also carry people forward.

"Mr. Guang, don't think about it, if you rank it according to the degree of fate, you are the most likely person to see him again." Xing Marry looked back, with a smile that pierced everything.

Obviously, she probably knows the identity of the other party.

Ke Zhiguang just lowered his head and set his eyes on the folding fan that he had flattened.

The word chess saint.

If I'm not mistaken, this seems to have been mentioned by Mr. Hanno himself.

That's probably the only answer.

Like a hearty feeling after the mystery is relieved, Ke Zhiguang threw an empty flick, put the fan away, and turned around to take a step.

Dragon ship, officially aboard!

The Ryugu also made a heavy awakening sound and swam to the depths of the sea.
