January 15, afternoon, Tokyo, Japan.

"So......" Juliu clasped his shoulders and stared at Anson Deer, "Do you suspect that the principal of Shangshi High School is behind the evolution game?"

"I'm not sure." Anson Lu whispered, "I've investigated a lot of clues in the past few days, I went to Iceland, and I also went to the Uesugi house in Japan, almost ...... All the clues point to the headmaster."

It was close to dusk, and after bidding farewell to Ruri Kamiyo in the afternoon, Anson Deer came to the crossroads of Kamakura High School Station, where he met Yuliu.

The light blue tide crashes against the beach, creating a soothing sound, and the beach is separated from the road by a fence, near which a green-clad JR train is parked on the tracks.

Juliu was silent for a long time, and then asked, "Why...... Don't you talk to the ravens about these things?"

"He's important, so keep it a secret from him." Anson Deer said, "What if...... The two of us died because we investigated too deeply, and the crow was one of the few people in the world who could take humans down."

"Isn't Lorenzo?"

"No, the existence of the crow is to prevent Lorenzuo from going crazy in the future and let things develop to the point of uncontrollable."

"Indeed...... "I can see that the captain of the law enforcement team is not quite right."

"None of that is to be said, after all, we are alive." Anson's eyes lit up, "So, even though there may be a risk of death, do you still have to listen to me?"

When the tide hits the beach, it almost hits the fence, but the fence is too late, but it seems to be out of reach, and the tide recedes back into the sea again.

"I'll listen." Juliu said coldly, "It is better to have anything to dare to listen to than to be kept in the dark as a lamb to the slaughter."

"That's good."

"Are you scared?"

"I'm scared." Anson Lu said in a deep voice, "With such an unknown person by my side, I am really insecure, and the more I try to find out his identity, the more confused my thinking becomes."

Juliu watched his face, "I can see you're stressed."

"No nonsense...... Anson Lu said, "So far, I have three clues about the identity of the principal."

"Which three?"

"First, Asahika Uesugi has the blood of a dragon in her body."

............

............

Two days ago, January 13, late at night, Tokyo, the mansion of the Uesugi family.

"If I'm not mistaken...... the old man looked up, his cloudy eyes reflecting the figure of a teenager, "You are...... Anson Deer, the first person in the world."

"Uesugi family master, I'm just here to ask you something." Anson Deer wrapped his scarf tightly, his eyes shining, "I want to know why Asuka Uesugi has dragon blood flowing in her body, you know...... When she had the ability to transform into a dragon, the evolution game hadn't even begun."

"Hehe, you're really rude...... "The head of the Uesugi family sneered and said slowly, "You know how late it is, if you want to see me, you must at least inform my subordinates first."

"I don't have that time, it's important to me." Anson Lu said in a cold tone, "If you can't answer me, then I might consider it."

"Young man, you're setting yourself on fire......

"I don't care...... Anson Deer said hoarsely, "I repeat, I don't care, but you do, if you don't answer me, I can do anything now."

"You look angry, what are you angry about?"

"It has nothing to do with you."

"It's really incomprehensible to young people these days......" The head of the Uesugi family smiled.

"Answer me."

"I answered you, so you don't have to be in such a hurry." The head of the Uesugi family said, "I've heard a man say that you have an intuition, an intuition that can distinguish between the true and the false."

"Although

I don't know who you're listening to, but this information is accurate, and I can rely on my instincts to tell if you're lying......" Ansen Lu said coldly, "So, please answer me seriously and carefully, what happened to Asuka Uesugi?"

"Tell me, the person of this trait of yours is from your Huaxia, and he said that he was just the principal of a high school." The head of the Uesugi family looked at Anson Deer and said unhurriedly:

"And this person, ten years ago, lived in the Uesugi family once, and after that, Asuka began to flow dragon blood in her body."

Anson Lu froze in place, and the child's hole shrank to the extreme.

.........

.........

Juliu frowned, "Dragon's blood?"

Anson Deer said, "That's right, dragon blood, she was able to transform into a dragon before the evolution game began."

"Why......" Yuliu's expression was a little stunned.

"That's what the head of the Uesugi family said to me...... Ansen Lu said slowly, "When Uesugi Asuka was seven years old, that is, ten years ago, an old Chinese man came to Tokyo, and the old man brought a girl, and this girl only spoke a few words to Asuka, and after that day, Asuka had the ability to transform into a dragon."

Old man and girl......

Juliu's expression became even more strange, "What do you mean...... That old man from Huaxia is the principal of Shangshi High School?"

"The head of the Uesugi family didn't say it explicitly, he only said that he had an agreement with the old man." Anson Lu said, "But, I can almost confirm that it's the principal...... Because the principal told me before that if Asuka Uesugi joined the Lighthouse of Hell, more important than the interference of the Uesugi family was the influence of the Uesugi family, so he personally went to Tokyo to find the head of the Uesugi family."

"The headmaster you're talking about shouldn't be a player, right?" Juliu found out that something was wrong.

Anson Lu nodded, "Well, he's obviously not a player, but he can come and go in the city freely."

Juliu gasped, his thoughts suddenly chaotic.

"That...... What about the second clue?"

After a moment, he asked.

"It's about Yuri, the Icelandic girl in our union," Anson Deer said, "and she suffers from a condition called Ankaches syndrome."

"Ancaches syndrome, a name I've never heard of......

"This condition causes patients to show clinical manifestations such as "gray hair", "hyperamnesia", and "affective loss......" Anson Lu said, "The most important thing is that all patients with Ancaches syndrome die at the age of 18."

Juliu's expression was stunned again, "What?"

"There have been three cases of Ancaches syndrome, except for Yuri, the first two patients are called "Khaki" and "Rema", and after getting the disease, they all showed the symptoms I mentioned."

"How did they get this disease?"

"Like Yuri, the three of them contracted Ancaches syndrome together one winter ten years ago."

"Ten years ago?" Yuliuu said thoughtfully, "Isn't this what you just said, when that old Chinese man went to Tokyo to visit the Uesugi family?"

"That's right, it was ten years ago, at that ...... The old man of Huaxia took a girl and said a few words to Asuka Uesugi, and Asuka began to be able to turn into a dragon." Anson Deer nodded.

"Do you suspect there's a connection between the two?"

"It's almost 100% related."

Juliu's mind was messy, "I don't know why you're so sure, but you keep talking......

"I told you...... The first two patients of Ankaches syndrome are called khaki and Rema." Anson Deer said slowly, "Rema's family is dead, and so is Yuri's family...... Only Khaki, her father is still alive."

"So, you went to see Kachi's father?"

"Yes, her father's name is Jeff." Anson Deer lowered his head, his eyes obscured by the black strands of his hair.

A week ago, I went to Iceland to see him, and he told me something......

It was the first time that Juliu had seen Anson Deer look like this.

"What did you say?" Juliu asked in a low voice.

Anson Lu raised his head, and his dark brown eyes were filled with a confused light, "In the winter of ten years ago, a Chinese man came to Dupivogur in Iceland with a girl in a trench coat.....

By the end, his voice grew hoarse.

Yuliuu froze in place.

This rhetoric...... It's exactly the same as the words of the head of the Uesugi family - an old man in China and a girl, a girl in a trench coat? Who the hell is that girl?

"At that time, Yuri was 7 years old, Rema was 16 years old, and Kaki was 17 years old." Anson Lu said hoarsely, "The girls brought by the Huaxia man talked to them one by one, I don't know what the girl said, after that, all three of them ...... They all have Ancaches syndrome."

Yuliuu froze in place, his face full of puzzlement, "This ......"

"A year after that winter, Khaki reached the age of 18 and died." Anson Lu paused and said, "Two years after that, Rema reached the age of 18 and died."

Juliu's face was solemn, and according to this law, this girl named Yuri would definitely die at the age of 18.

But Yuri was still young when he first fell ill, only 7 years old, so he escaped the catastrophe......

But that was 10 years ago......

Ten years later, Yuri is 17 years old, and it won't be long before she dies like Khaki and Rima......

If all this is caused by the principal.

So, it's no wonder that Anson Deer shows such a violent side......

"So, according to you, it was the girl brought by the Chinese man who caused Khaki, Rema, and Yuri to suffer from Ancaches syndrome?" Juliu asked.

"Yes, Jeff told me that even if he told the authorities, the officials would only think that he was insane, because at that time, no one witnessed the old Chinese man and girl except him." "And Yuri is the same, she doesn't remember talking to a girl at that time."

"And what is Jeff's impression of that Chinese man?"

"He gave me a drawing, and in order to remember what the man looked like, Jeff drew a rough picture of the old man." Anson Deer said slowly:

"I looked at the picture, and Jeff had all the features of the man next to the painting - he was about 1.85 meters tall, with white hair, a strong body, and a face that was as hard as a male model."

"The man on the painting, and the headmaster you call ......" Juliu couldn't finish.

"Completely, just one person." Anson Deer interrupted him.

Juliu was dumbfounded.

Since Anson Deer has said so, what else can he refute.

"The clues are not clear yet, so don't worry." Yuliuu tries to stabilize Anson Deer's mood.

Anson Lu grabbed his head with his hand, his eyes flashed, and he almost murmured:

"It's the Headmaster...... Why, why did he let Yuri suffer from this condition, and ...... Who the hell is that girl following the headmaster?"

His mind was so messy that it almost exploded.

For a week, Anson Deer has been investigating related matters - whether it is Uesugi Asugi's past or Yuri's past, they are all closely linked to the existence of the principal.

"What other clues?" Juliu asked.

"Jeff said that the girl's language was English, and that she called the old Chinese man......" Anson Lu paused for a moment and said hoarsely:

hessster。」

hessster......" Juliu's eyes suddenly widened and he shivered for no apparent reason, "Chess player?"

"Yes......" Anson Lu lowered his head, "chess player."

"Does it have anything to do with your profession, old chess player......

「

Perhaps." Anson Deer said, "In addition to the two clues of Asuka Uesugi and Yuri, I have one last clue."

"What is it?"

"In 1912, the sinking of the Titanic, maybe I caused it."

"You're crazy......" said Juliu.

"You don't understand."

Juliu's voice was full of incomprehension, he took a deep breath, and retorted vigorously, "It was 1912, more than 100 years ago, how could it be that you caused it?!"

This time, Yuliuu really suspected that Anson Deer was crazy to say such gibberish.

Anson Deer remained silent.

"That's enough...... Yuliu said coldly, "Anson Deer, do you know what you're talking about? I really doubt if there's something wrong with your question."

"It's the game system that's guiding me openly, letting me know about this." Anson Deer said slowly:

"I took the snow dragon that was about to descend on Tokyo in half a year to the Atlantic Ocean more than 100 years ago, and it was at that time that I crashed into the Titanic."

"It's ridiculous." Juliu couldn't bear to say.

"Snow Dragon unleashed a skill and created an iceberg, which intercepted the Titanic, which led to the famous Titanic shipwreck." Anson Lu ignored Yuliu's attitude, but said in a tired voice:

"I told you... My instincts are like superpowers, and they can help me tell the truth of something."

"So what?"

"My instincts...... Judge that this is correct."

Juliu froze in place, as if something was stuck in his throat, unable to even say a word.

Before this conversation, he had done an experiment with Anson Deer - Anson Deer had him mix fifty lies and fifty truths into a hundred sentences.

And, Anson Deer will use his intuition to determine which sentence is true and which sentence is false.

In the end, he guessed correctly without exception.

"You're back in 1912...... "and you've used a diversion to bring the white dragon that will come to Tokyo to the Atlantic Ocean in 1912."

"Yes." Anson Deer reconfirmed.

Juliu said deeply, "My worldview is shattering."

"It's long overdue to be shattered, and the forward game will begin in a month." Anson Deer sarcastically said.

Yuliuu put his hand on his forehead, and after a long silence, he then asked, "So, what does this matter have to do with the first two events?"

"This incident shows ......," Anson Lu said, "at least in half a year, I will get an ability similar to "Time Travel", maybe the effect of a chess piece."

"And then?"

"Didn't you say before, Jeff heard that the girl the principal brought to Iceland called the headmaster Hessster, that is, the chess player." Anson Lu paused, sneered and said:

"Chess player...... Hehe, it's probably an old chess player."

"You mean, you'll have the ability to travel through time later...... And the Headmaster is also a player, and he's most likely from a future player, because he's in the same class sequence as you, so he also has the ability to travel through time?" Juliu asked intermittently.

He couldn't keep up with Anson Deer's train of thought at all.

"I mean......" Anson Deer looked up, looked up at the sky, and whispered, "Is there a possibility?"

"What?"

"Headmaster, it's me from the future."

........

........

At this moment, on the other side of the world, the North Pole.

In the hazy ice and snow world, there stood two incompatible figures—an old man in a trench coat and a little girl in a dress.

"Ah, I guessed it, I should say it...... Is it true that you used to be?"

Girls sit together

On the ice rock, he shook his white slender calves.

"It's normal, I've got so many ...... exposed," the headmaster said, lighting a cigarette and surging "Huh...... He's an enhanced version of me, so I should have guessed it."

"Anyway, according to my skill rules, you can't stay on this plane anymore."

"It doesn't matter, I've already done what I should have done."

The girl was puzzled and asked, "So, what can you change with the three pieces of chess you brought to that child?"

"That's the future of humanity." The headmaster took a deep puff of his cigarette, "I don't have a future anymore, but he still has, and unlike me, this time the old chess player is no longer alone."

"Well, if you think about it, you've not only brought him a whole bunch of companions, but you've also given him the ability to be 'super-intuitive.'" The girl poked her chin with her finger and said nonchalantly:

"Indeed, this Anson deer is completely different from you who lost to the white dragon thirty years ago, and you are no longer the lost dog who is lonely to death, kneeling in front of the grave of all mankind and crying bitterly......

The headmaster took a deep puff of his cigarette and said angrily, "How can any chess piece say that the owner is a lost dog."

"You used to be a non-smoker, chess player."

"Cigarettes and alcohol are good things, but at that time I hid myself too deeply, alone, didn't trust anyone, and at the age of 17, I was alone with the responsibility of saving the whole world."

The headmaster raised his head, his hollow eyes reflecting the winter sky like a pile of thousands of ice cubes, "But it's different now, at least he's not alone anymore."

"I think you're more attractive than you used to be, and the boy who was alone and single-handedly faced the Tokyo dragon is dead."

"I'm getting old, too......

"It's time for you to go into the coffin, Anson Deer, there is no place for you in the future, after all, the world line has changed, and there will never be an old guy like you in the future."

"It's so emotional...... "I was the only one who accompanied me before I died, but you were also the pawn that accompanied me the longest."

"It's so annoying, I'm dying, and you're still using me as a pawn."

"Oh, I can't think of you as a lover, can I...... You have to remember that you were just a pendulum in the beginning."

"Yes, yes." The girl tilted her head and said:

"Do you say, this time Anson Deer, can save the world, or is it like you, with full of ideals, trampled by that white dragon into an old man with no eyes and only knows how to survive?"

The headmaster collapsed limply on the ice, the outline of his body gradually becoming a lake.

"I've been on the run long enough," he whispered...... "I've been on the run for more than twenty years, until the white dragon set foot on the whole world."

The girl said faintly, "Actually, there is no need to escape, since losing that war, that dragon has been endowed with an unstoppable aura, and it is destined to evolve...... until it's enough to swallow the whole world."

"Whatever the outcome of this time...... "At least he's not alone anymore."

"You're so naïve, it's more important to make yourself no longer lonely than to save?"

"I've just learned to feel sorry for myself...... At that time, I was only a seventeen-year-old child, and no one understood me, just a lone wolf through and through, a loner in the middle and through."

"Isn't there still me?"

"A chess piece should be a good chess piece."

"Cut, that's it, that's why Anson Lu is different from you now, he has begun to change, he doesn't just treat chess pieces as chess pieces, and you, an old man, are really too indifferent." The girl said surgingly.

The headmaster sighed lightly and smiled self-deprecatingly, "It's nice to have friends, the time of youth is gone."

The girl jumped off the ice rock and lay down beside the headmaster, and the two of them fell deeper and deeper into the white world.

She suddenly asked:

"If you hadn't killed Uchihara Law at that time, wouldn't the world line have progressed like this?"

"At that time, I only trusted myself, and I was determined to go my own way, and from the moment Ritsu Urushihara tried to get close to me, he was destined to be killed by me." The principal said in a calm tone:

"Now, at least that kid trusts me, so he has the ability to trust others—something I learned in the decades since the destruction of the world, and I'm ...... Taught him in three months."

"Sure enough, I know myself best." The girl smiled, "In just such a short period of time, you have made your past self trust you."

"I know what he needs."

"A little cunning."

"What's this, deceive yourself, not deceive others."

"Don't quibble, he and you are already two beings."

「……」

「………」

「…………」

"I'm tired, I won't fight with you this time." The headmaster said, "Good night, Hisdoria."

"Good night, Anson Deer." The girl closed her eyes with a smile on her lips, "We will...... Sink into the river of time together."

..........

...........

On the night of January 15th, a hotel in Tokyo

Anson Deer lay on the bed, staring silently at the screen of his phone.

On the screen, he sent almost a thousand messages to the principal, but the old man did not reply to any of them, and disappeared as if he were dead during the week.

Suddenly, an email came, and it was sent at regular intervals.

[Principal: Make good use of the "Future Blue Bird" chess game, this is a gift I specially brought to you from the future, and the "Salvation Team" set must be put together. 】

Anson Lu's face twitched slightly, and he reluctantly typed out a line of words, and pressed the send button fiercely.

[Anson Lu: Where the hell is ***, you've been hiding from me for a few days, stinky old man, you still have a bunch of things to explain to me! 】

A minute passes.

There is no response, and the second hand of the clock is ticking......

Ten minutes passed.

There was no response, and the second hand of the clock turned many times......

An hour passed.

There was still no response, and the clock hand made a full turn......

The clock ticked and it was January 16th.

"Ding." A message sound comes from your phone.

Anson Lu opened his eyes and looked at his mobile phone.

Another scheduled email -

[Principal: Anson Lu, happy eighteenth birthday. 】
