On the other side, the chess courtyard at this moment is still brightly lit.

Although it was now time to get off work, the sudden heavy rain interrupted the players' way home.

However, this did not bother them, so they simply retreated to the second floor and gathered in the izakaya built into the chess courtyard, enjoying the open-air view of the second floor on a rainy night and the dim lights in the distance.

In the training hall on the first floor, the challenge of besieging Kezhiguang is still going on.

"This plate...... It's still your victory, Hanmoi. Xingcai spoke lightly as the interim referee.

"Thanks, advice." Ke Zhiguang skillfully unfolded the fan, and the moment the knife was sheathed, another member of the second stage group lay on the ground.

"So, is there anyone else interested in taking on the challenge next? I still started this game with a three-three. Kezhiguang looked around and glanced around.

With a sweep of their eyes, the second-stage group tacitly retreated synchronously, their faces showing embarrassment.

Everyday saccades are like strafing.

From noon to now, a total of three warriors volunteered to come up to challenge, so they tried it and passed away in an instant.

This result was also expected by the second-stage group, but they didn't expect Ke Zhiguang to snap the opening point on the third and third in each game, and claimed that this was a new tactic.

Hearing that it was a new tactic, the members of the second stage team showed a look of understanding on the surface, but in their hearts they had a killing expression.

- The beginning is here to point three or three, who to look down on? Can you try it again? Believe it or not...... Believe it or not....... Letter.......

Then the ellipses are more and more and the sound is getting quieter.

Almost..... It's almost a gap between the two sons.

Yamaoka walked up quite gracefully: "Okay, now you realize the gap between yourself and the first person in the chess world today, study hard, and in the future, you can also provoke newcomers with the opening point of three or three like him." ”

Narita teased on the side: "Thinking about a year ago, you were still a staunch anti-member of the Yamaoka, and in just over a year, you have been smoothed out." ”

Soma Masae shouted from the chessboard not far away, "I asked before, and the hill is already in the shape of Kojiko. ”

"I—I didn't say that!" He retorted angrily, and the chess courtyard was full of joy.

Listening to their conversation, Ke Zhiguang also captured the key word: the first person in the chess world.

No one even questioned the title, and it seemed that everyone thought that he could defeat the Yagami Kunikyo in the Battle of the Imperial Palace.

Not...... I'm afraid of being milked to death by this group of people.

"Congratulations senior, you are one step closer to the title of Tsar, but ..... Are you serious about this opening point 33 tactic? Xingcai asked.

"It's serious, but the specific tactics are still being explored." Ke Zhiguang said with his arm on his pillow.

Although today's three games are still as easy as Wushuang mowing the grass, it can be seen with the naked eye that the opening point three three tactics do not work, if it is not for the obvious gap in the strength of the enemy and us, it is likely to hit the street on the spot.

The opening point is three three, the forbidden area since ancient times, also known as the forbidden hand, whether it is the ancient Go or the ancient Japanese Go, the modern Go is even more so, this is the development of the technology and art of Go to the present, countless ancestors summed up the experience.

If this tactic can work, it will be tantamount to overturning thousands of years of experience by himself, and such a merit must be added to the title of Tsar with the prefix of eternity.

It sounds like a task that is no more arduous than defeating the Night God Kunikyo and then moving the chess fortune back to China.

The two formulas of point 33, A is the standard formula for taking the external potential, and B is the Zheng Shuang formula for taking the field..... Phew, discarded formula.

If the change of a fixed point is compared to a maze, the maze of points three three has already been explored by the ancestors, including what branches are on the maze, which secret doors are clearly marked, and there is no room for exploration by future generations.

To paraphrase William Thomson, "The edifice of science has been built, and posterity will only need to tinker with it." ”

Although he said this, he was slapped in the face within a few years, but in the field of Go, it is unknown.

"Forget it, call it a day today, and I'll arrange the specific tactics tomorrow." Ke Zhiguang got up from the chessboard and looked out the window, and what caught his eye was the pouring rain, which made Ke Zhiguang feel like he had returned to the Dragon Throne Battle overnight.

It's a good time to see heavy rain in Tokyo this season, and it's not like August snow.

But suddenly, a gust of autumn wind seeped in through the rain curtain outside the window, and the cold chill made people's pores shrink, as if they were slashed by a pair of cold hands across the back of their necks.

Xing Yao, who was busy playing against the middle-aged health group chess player, seemed to sense something, and a chess piece that was about to fall was hanging in the air.

She stared out the window with wide eyes, and no one knew what she was looking at.

"What's wrong, Mikome-sama?" The middle-aged chess player asked.

"No, it's nothing, I said why don't you stop for today's game, right?" Xing Marry smiled apologetically.

Ke Zhiguang saw her reaction and immediately understood something.

Perhaps in the distance, some kind of special fortune has taken effect, and the more perceptive people have already felt the cold breath.

Ke Zhiguang also glanced at Harushima Deer by the way, and found that she also looked at the outside world as if she sensed something.

"Is there something over there......." she muttered.

The wordless uneasiness spread among the people like a plague, and everyone felt an indescribable sense of palpitation and panic.

Xing Yao stood up and said to everyone who was still present: "Let's rest early today, it's better not to play chess anymore...... Even when you get home, it's best not to touch Go again. ”

"This ...... Is this some kind of metaphysical statement? An unknown two-stage group asked.

"This is the result of today's witch show の free divination." Star Marrying has a crooked tongue and cute expression similar to Fuji's.

"It's so unconvincing!"

You can't touch chess..... Ke Zhiguang also understands this statement.

That was a truth that he realized a long time ago, for a while, every time he played chess in the dark, he could meet the cow ghost and snake god, so it was best to play chess less in the dark, and it seemed that this truth was not wrong.

"Since the shrine maiden said so, let's take it as a little health advice." The middle-aged players were quick to accept this statement.

Narita also agreed: "We are the same, we are all at this point, the ghost only plays chess, and when we get off work, we should honestly do what we should do after work." ”

"Yamaoka, would you like to accompany me to the bookstore?" Soma asked.

"No problem......" Yamaoka agreed a little reluctantly + blushing shyly.

I always feel that since he has a leg with Soma, he has also awakened some very tired attributes......

Ke Zhiguang leaned in and asked, "What happened?" ”

Xing Yao shook his head: "I don't know, but it won't be a good thing...... Or something that has never been worse than ever......."

"Is it related to the Night God Kunikyo?"

"Even if it's a bad thing, it's a big bad thing, and ordinary characters can't do such a big bad thing." Xing said with his shoulders spread.

She added: "But don't worry, as long as you don't play chess, it's okay, just be an ordinary person." ”

Not...... This is really full of slots, as if it has confirmed the nickname of this murderous Go from the side.

A member of the second dan group asked suspiciously, "The ...... I don't quite understand what you're talking about, what you can't play tonight or something......"

Faced with this inexplicable question, An Yongxin came out of nowhere and put his arm on the other party's shoulder: "Brother, I advise you not to ask more questions in this regard, it is difficult for me to explain this matter to you, and you don't understand it, the interests involved in this are very high, you don't understand, it's good for you, you can only taste this matter." ”

"Huh?" This second paragraph was completely blinded by An Yongxin's quotations.

"I'll tell you this, if you can be like me, fight a new Star Wars and meet a hotel that is struck by lightning, and fight a Dragon Constellation battle and be shipwrecked, you will be able to understand what I said!" Ernst & Young said loudly.

"Ming, understood!"

Everyone unexpectedly had a tacit understanding.

A dragon throne battle seems to have completely twisted everyone into a rope, and jointly maintain a secret that can only be understood and cannot be spoken.

The more active players have already arrived in the public phone area, calling friends and family, telling them not to play chess tonight and to do whatever they want.

Harushima Deer's first reaction was also to send a message to Xiong Ying and Yingmei, asking them not to touch the chessboard tonight, but think about it carefully..... Both of them spend their free time deciding with video games, playing chess? Dogs don't get down.

"Do any of you know the number of Brother Forging Zi?" Ke Zhiguang asked.

"Don't worry about forging Sang, he told me before that he went on a trip abroad and won't be back until mid-September." Shunji Narita said.

This surprised Ke Zhiguang, and he always felt that with his personality, he should be the type who continued to touch the deep mountains and old forests and continue to study further.

But if I'm not mistaken, Xuanyu Zhishang also seemed to say that he was going to travel abroad before, could it be that these two people formed CP...... Phew, grouped?

"You don't have to worry about this, as long as you're outside of Japan, you don't have to worry about being affected." Star Marrying said.

In other words, even if these two people really form a group, they don't have to worry about them getting hit, but they need to worry about whether they will break their waists after playing chess for a long time.

As for the mid-September point in time...... Clever missed the upcoming Dream Heaven Cup.

This......

Mourning, mourning.

In this way, the people of the small half of the chess courtyard were mobilized, and the public telephone area was as lively as a stock exchange.

It's also a bit exciting, and it always feels like everyone is joining forces against some big conspiracy.

The rain outside also eased a lot, and everyone got off work and started today's nightlife in groups.

After confirming that most of the players had left, Koji Mitsucai and Harushima returned to their respective homes after work together.

As long as you don't play chess, you don't have to worry about walking at night.

In short, everything that can be done has been done, and it is useless to worry about it, so it is better to rest in peace tonight.

It's a pity that the two people of the Cold War group have left, and the mahjong table can't be set up.

"It's home, it's home." As soon as Ke Zhiguang pushed open the door, the border collie dog that had just been in his hands shook its tail and came over, and Ke Zhiguang happily rubbed two handfuls on its head.

The biggest trouble with having a pet dog is that you need to shovel feces on time every day, as well as walk the dog, in short, it takes a lot of time and precision

Force to accompany it, cozy cottage solves all this.

But for young people, they don't have so much time at home, and if they want to relieve their loneliness, they are all done with a cat, and how convenient the cat is.

In short, in a word-

"Quick, change for me." Ke Zhiguang pointed at the border pastor and said, it really didn't react.

Cut.

It stands to reason that Harishima Deer should have complained about herself at this time, but this time she didn't react, but was thinking about something absent-mindedly.

"Okay, what are you going to do tonight, why don't you call Xiong Yingmei to reopen the mahjong table?" Ke Zhiguang tried to ask.

It's just a joke to test the state of mind of Harushima Deer right now.

"Don't do it, after two nights of mahjong, people are about to collapse." Harushima deer sighed and shook her head.

The main reason may be that she lost the most, especially on the second night, after being flowered on the crazy ridge by Kezhiguang.

"Hey, when you were in the chess courtyard before, did you feel that something was about to appear...... What's familiar? Harushima asked with a complicated expression as he tugged at the hem of his blouse.

"Familiarity?" Ke Zhiguang was stunned.

If you have a sense of familiarity, it's actually not nothing, as a protagonist who often encounters crises, when encountering danger, there is often a feeling of "it really appeared again...... It's barely a sense of familiarity, right?

But the familiarity that Harushima Deer said refers to this?

"A little, but not much." Ke Zhiguang replied safely.

"Forget it, it's nothing, it's just that I'm overhearted....." Harushima Shika shook his head, expel the strange thought.

"But what if we play chess tonight? Based on your past experience? Harushima asked.

"This ...... This touched on my knowledge blind spot, which I really hadn't encountered before. ”

Although the star marrying explicitly requires that you not play chess tonight, as we all know, the more you prohibit a thing, the more it can stimulate the hearts of some deadly activists, just like when playing a horror game, players can't help but want to trigger a few death scenes to satisfy their curiosity.

Although Ke Zhiguang also wants to do this, play chess to see what can happen tonight, presumably with his current chess strength, even if he comes to something outrageous, he should be able to bear it.

But in this case, it would not be good to only use Harishima Deer as an opponent at the moment, and it would not be good to involve her in the risk zone.

Kojimitsu came to the balcony and looked at Tokyo tonight, feeling a little emotional.

Since the beginning of the Great Go era, tonight's Tokyo is definitely the night with the least sound of chess pieces, and the groups that are still playing chess are mainly concentrated in the old chess oils of the major chess halls, and their words should not be accidental, as long as people have enough food, they don't have to worry about getting involved in strange events.

The most likely thing to happen is that the group of young girls who are still fighting at night and preparing for the next fixed-stage match, they have the strongest desire to play chess, they also have enough strength, and their rebellious heart is also the heaviest, even if they are told to settle down tonight, they may still can't help but play a few games of chess and have a chess addiction.

Moreover, they don't have a rank certificate, and they don't have the protection of the sentence [Demon Inviolation].

For other groups, of course, Mr. Hanno doesn't have to worry, at the top of the Chess Luck Tree, there is no one more well-informed than him, and the other nine dan are probably also cherishing themselves, so they don't have to worry about their ability to survive.

Just when Ke Zhiguang felt that tonight should be the safety of all employees, and he didn't plan to worry about it-

He couldn't help but think of a figure who might be playing chess tonight and had enough weight.

Stone Heart.

Kojiko subconsciously looked to the west, which was the Setagaya district where Yugenji Temple was located.

This...... If he is really playing chess now, should he worry about Shixin or "crisis"?

At the same time, a kilometer away, Setagaya District, Yugenji Temple.

In an attic sprinkled with moonlight, a game of chess is being played in silence.

Stone Heart is playing.

Although it was a rainy night today, the temple was still surrounded by moonlight, as if it was guarded by divine power.

The person sitting across from him on the chessboard was the Tsukiten holder, Kitaro of Hikazeya.

This game, let two sons.

After staring at the current chess game for a long time, Rifeng Valley closed his eyes and sighed: "It's a pity, once the chess game is over, the memory of this game will disappear, and I can't help but sigh every time, it turns out that Go ...... And this kind of play, we are all wrong. ”

After sighing, he continued.

But just as the chess pieces were about to land on the chessboard, Shi Xin suddenly stretched out his palm and blocked the position where the chess pieces were about to fall in Sunwind Valley.

In this way, the pieces slowly fell into his hands, and not on the board.

"What's going on?" Sunwind asked.

Shi Xin twisted his head to the side of the Japanese-style sliding door behind him, which connected to the corridor to the outside world.

His gaze was fixed on it, like a sharp Buddha light slowly tearing open the crack, and he saw the scene outside the door.

"There's a demonic aura."
