On September 20th, the training camp was still in full swing, and the one-kilometer radius of the chess institute was as lively as the Olympic Village, and a large number of athletes came out to spend money and hang out every day.

The day is a safe period, and the chess players are free to decide their schedules, whether they go home to visit their relatives or go out to, the curfew is 8 o'clock in the evening, once this point is exceeded, everything outside will be blocked by darkness, snakes will pour into the streets, and Tokyo will enter the opposite side.

"The ancients are in a doldrums during the day, and this is your only chance to move." At breakfast, Zero mentioned it in passing.

"Sounds like a bunch of night owls...... Kojiguang said.

"In the current situation, I think it's more appropriate to understand it as a zombie...... Although they are in a state of low condition during the day, from 2 p.m., their spirits will gradually pick up, reaching their peak at 8 p.m., and when the sun comes out, they will retract and continue hibernation. ”

Zero continued: "You don't have to worry about the life of the original owner of the ancient body, they automatically enter the state of trusteeship, just like before their mass awakening, in addition, the ancients also directly inherit the memories of the original owner, and will also play the role of the original owner's life when necessary...... Doesn't that sound like you could write several more books? ”

"Hmm...... It does have such a taste. Ke Zhiguang nodded thoughtfully, then swept away the bread and milk for breakfast, and began today's game console clearance mission.

“game，start。” Zero said in a narrated tone.

......

......

On the night of September 27, Yixin finally ended this more than week-long trip to visit relatives and was supported by Xu Xingyou to return to Tokyo.

There's no way, my legs are weak, and I can't accept it.

"He's coming." Xiuce sensed something.

The floor of the elevator shows a one-grid jump, and finally stops on this floor.

"Come on, Huang Longshi, let's fight it out!" He stepped forward and watched the elevator door open.

He was dumbfounded.

Although the chess has not yet been played, it seems that the male and female have already decided......

"Pervert, get out-" Xiuce was preparing to spray justice.

"How old are you?"

This time, it was the turn of a foot that flew up angrily.,It's exactly the same as Harujima deer.,Harushima Shinyu's action.,Forcibly interrupting the casting of the fourth degree of the brace.。

It's okay to be scolded by your daughter, and there is nothing you can do to be taken advantage of by the successor who may become your son-in-law in the future, and it is reasonable to be scolded and beaten by your wife.

But why are you so an outsider that you can't be an outsider anymore come here to join in the fun? Chess Master is amazing? It's like who's not a chess master!

"Also, you guys have all discussed it in advance, Nima can even have exactly the same lines?"

In the spacious office, the two of them mingled, and the office that had always been serious and depressed was suddenly stained with the cheerful atmosphere of sand sculptures.

The butler smiled wryly on the side, and the Night God Guojing maintained a dignified appearance with his eyes closed.

It is also possible that you feel pain in your brain and close your eyes.

"That's a good scenario, isn't it?" The butler smiled reluctantly.

"yes, that's good, and if it goes on like this, it's not a bad thing." Night God Kunikyo raised his head and looked at the ceiling and said, no one knew what he was recalling.

.....

.....

On the evening of October 2nd, the season officially entered autumn, and the wheel of fate continued to move forward.

On the other side of the strait, Saito also received news from within Japan.

"Thousands of people live together, the chess world is divided, and the collective scuffle?" Saito then said on the phone.

"Interesting, isn't it? Interested in coming back and participating in this big feast? On the other side of the phone came Hanno's voice.

"The other nine dans agree to this?" Saito asked.

"Of course not, Guojing is shrewd, before the action, he had already packed all the nine dan people and sent them to Europe, asking them to travel for free, and now even if they rush back, they can't change the direction, so they just stay in Europe honestly." Hanye Xuan said with a smile.

"In that case, then I can't make much trouble when I come back, after all..... I'm already feeling the side effects of my Gojo ability. Saito said, looking at the back of his hand that had been trembling.

In the Battle of the Dragon Seat, the entire Kudan group was blessed with the ability of Gojo Chess, allowing them to return to their youthful state.

But this also has side effects, for example, his hands have been shaking non-stop for a while, sometimes the water cup is unstable, and he has no desire to play chess at all, and his state is extremely poor, as if he has been set with 10,000 debuffs.

This side effect is expected to last for half a year, and by the time he can play again, the game has just ended.

Perhaps, this is also in the plan of the Night God Kingdom, just enough for their group of nine dan to miss the Imperial City Chess War.

But it also caused another doubt for Saito.

As the holder of the Imperial Chess, the Night God Kunijing himself is under such a fortune grace all the time, so won't he have side effects?

If one day, he is really approached by side effects, what will happen to him?

"That's it, focus on the young people and believe that they can win this war." Saito said in a concluding tone.

"Then we'll see."

The phone hung up, and Hanye Xuan cast his gaze back to the world in front of him-

The world of chess, the top of the wood of chess.

The gates of the Land of the Dead had been open for more than a week, and the black flames had engulfed half of the Chess Fortune Tree from the bottom to the top, and the length of five thousand meters was rotten and charred.

At this moment, the vanguard of the Black Snake is still climbing upwards, and they can't catch large prey, so they look for small creatures to attack.

The chess players in the chess hall, the students of the Go class, the retired chess players of the West Branch, and some retired reclusive chess players, from a height of 10,000 meters, their sphere of influence is extending to the whole of Japan.

There is a mournful sound in the air, which is disturbed by the laws of nature, and it is expected that the climate will continue to get colder for some time, and various small natural disasters will emerge one after another, and the most likely ones in Japan..... Earthquake.

The Wood of Fortune began to shake again, and it seemed that another big guy had broken free from the chains of the underworld and came to this world.

"Hey, there are two chess masters at once." Hanye Xuan looked at the newborn black snake below with interest...... It's already called a black dragon.

The ancient chess saint has already arrived at the fourth place.

......

......

On October 7, all the offices on the lower floors of the building were placed under the influence of the Night God Kingdom, and were used as Go classrooms, each in groups of ten, forming study teams.

"Speaking of which, we've been in this world for so long, and we've learned almost the skills of Go in this era, so it's time to add the following 'actual combat experience', right?" Someone in a study group said the same.

The others immediately understood what he meant, shook their heads and said, "It's basically impossible, now the most combative modern chess players are huddled in their chess courtyards, and they will return immediately at eight o'clock, and we will not have a chance to meet them at all." ”

"Don't worry, I've got an idea for this...... Just let them take the initiative to fight. "Let them take the initiative?" Someone was stunned, and his first reaction was to kidnap the chess players' families.

"This ...... We can't do anything that violates the law and discipline. ”

"Don't worry, I won't do that, I'm just using a little more traditional method." There was a sloppy laugh from the previous voice, biting very the word "tradition".

......

......

The rhythm of the throttle has come to an end, and Tokyo has officially entered the late autumn.

Although it is only October 15th, under normal circumstances, most people are still wearing short sleeves at this time, but now they can breathe into the air, and they can basically come out of the white fog, and the temperature difference between day and night is extremely large.

"Okay, then that's all for today's training for now." Harushima deer stretched out in front of the chessboard and gave orders lazily.

The current time is half past nine in the evening, which is equivalent to the end of the self-study in the third night of high school.

Although there is no set time for getting off work, people generally take this point as a line to come to the built-in supper stalls of the chess courtyard or the shops around a kilometer to chat.

"Before I know it, a month has passed." Ke Zhiguang also got up from the chessboard and looked at the training hall that was almost gone, and he didn't feel emotional.

"Yes, one drum, two decay, three exhaustion, it seems that everyone is a little lazy." Harushima deer yawned as well.

"Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"No, it's just overdoing it." Harushima said, pointing at his temples.

Xing Marry suddenly interjected: "Actually, we played mahjong all night last night. ”

"Good! There is such a good thing, you actually did it secretly, and you didn't even call me! Ke Zhiguang said to Harushima Deer.

"Go! Don't listen to her nonsense, the old lady was seriously playing the ancient score last night...... Also, for Mao, your concern is that I didn't bring you with you, shouldn't it be 'you actually taking time to do something else at such a critical juncture'? Harushima Lu's thinking was clear and complained.

After spitting out, everyone was silent, and then laughed wittily.

This is the daily part of our side, and I hope that this wave of collective preparations can pass quickly.

"Come on, let's go get something to eat, I'll invite you." Ke Zhiguang said.

Walking out of the gate of the chess courtyard, the refreshing cold autumn air rolled up on the body, always giving people a premonition that winter was coming.

Walking down the stairs, you will come to the commercial streets on both sides of the chess temple, surrounded by an autumn festival-like atmosphere, and many small stalls have been set up due to the recent good business of the chess temple, and the sound of meat skewers and fried noodles being fried on the iron plate makes a sizzling sound of quenching.

Ke Zhiguang casually came to a stall and fished out a handful of chicken skewers, which were golden and tender, as if coated with honey.

When you bite into it, the feeling of refreshment comes to your brain.

"Whew...... Alive, alive. Ko Zhiguang said, chewing on the crispy meat.

"Hmph, it turns out that you will also sigh that you have come back to life, which shows that you have indeed trained seriously." Harushima deer made a bunch of marssimas next to it.

"Long'er, girls can't eat too many sweets, you have to eat this, woo~" Xing married and took a bite of what was in his hand.

"Hehe, isn't this one you eat also sweets, and you obviously have a lot more sugar than mine."

Xing Yao shook his head meaningfully: "Alas, you will understand later." ”

"Huh?"

Ke Zhiguang glanced at the snack in Xing Yao's hand, which ...... Well, that's it anyway.

A layer of chocolate on a banana or something.

Well, it's pretty much a banana.

The beautiful and soothing sound of the piano came from the radio in the square of the chess courtyard, which just matched the mood of people who couldn't wait to get off work or class at the end of a busy day.

"She's now officially transitioned to a role like a temple priest." Harushima deer bites on the marshmallow and turns her gaze to the top of the chess court.

The deep flow is still flowing, and today's song is being played there.

She is the same as Xingcai, but the one she cultivates is called the piano, another black and white world, originally according to her normal schedule, she has now returned to the British conservatory of music and continued her studies in the ivory tower.

And the reason why she stayed here and fought side by side with their group is also very realistic, that is, there is no money to pay for tuition.

Her countermeasures are more realistic, saying that she will work for another six months.

So she stayed, and somehow became teammates who fought side by side.

Since about half a week, at this time, the sound of her piano can be heard flowing from the radio, covering a kilometer radius of the chess yard.

It was indeed the work of the temple priests, who buffed the warriors through music.

Although Ko Zhiguang has not seen such a special effect display until now, he believes that the sound of the piano has played an invisible role.

For example, when the piano sounds, the chess players who are still hanging out in front of the stalls settle down, nodding their heads and humming a little song to the rhythm.

The moment when the work has just ended is the weakest moment for every young person who is physically and mentally exhausted, and they will be very moved by just pinching this point in time to send them a beautiful note.

I said...... Will we win in the end? Listening to the ethereal piano sound, Harushima Deer couldn't help but say this.

But she soon realized that she was suspected of shaking the morale of the army by saying this, so she hurriedly snorted.

"Of course you win, what do you say, Mr. Hikari?" Xing Yao smiled and tilted his head.

Instead of answering the question immediately, Kojiguang stared at the rising moon in the distance, as if meeting the eyes of a demon.

"I don't know the answer." Ko Zhiguang said calmly, as if facing the sea.

"Yes, it's your style." Xing Yao nodded.

Harushima Deer only cut off at this answer, and muttered quietly, "You always behave so realistically in some strange places......"

Victory is undoubtedly the most effective way to boost morale, but the problem now is that the battle line is too long, and for a while and a half you can't even see the shadow of the enemy, let alone a hearty victory to boost morale.

And on the other side, it is much easier, they are bloodthirsty from the beginning, everyone is red-eyed, and their morale never falls.

Just as Ke Zhiguang thought this, a terrifying chill spread from the ground in front of his feet, and the moisture in the air was rapidly frozen.

"Hey, there's something coming?" Harushima deer stared vigilantly at the end of the street in the square.

All the chess players also seemed to sense something, and retreated a few steps in the direction of the chess courtyard, seeing that the surrounding vendors were puzzled...... Aren't you just a chess player? Do you deal with terrorists the same way you do?

"All personnel, first level alert!" Ke Zhiguang waved his hand and shouted, as if to signal everyone to hide behind him.

As a result, everyone looked at him in a daze.

After a few days, Xing Marrying asked in a low embarrassed voice, "That...... Level 1 alert, what is it? ”

Not...... This question is also difficult to answer.

He just felt that the atmosphere was in place, and casually shouted such a sentence, but in fact, there was no such thing as a few levels of alert.

Bounded by an intersection, this is the location of the chess courtyard for one kilometer.

And behind the zebra crossing, the crowd of black lords was ready, as if they would rush to the edge of the barrier of the chess courtyard just waiting for the captain's order.

And their captain is Zhanghe, one of Japan's ancient chess saints.

Parenthesis: The weakest of the ancient chess masters.
