Chapter 222: Brother, Anson Lu He's Back!
March 7, New York at night, the top floor of the Law Enforcement Building.
"Brother Cosimo, it's time to work." Ruri Kamiyo put her hand on the boy's shoulder, "I heard that there was a runaway incident in Tokyo, and the opponent was five sequence players." ”
Cosimo swallowed a mouthful of water, staring at the tablet and talking dumbfounded.
“…… It's over. ”
"Huh?"
Ruri Kamiyo raised an eyebrow and followed his line of sight to the tablet.
"It's Anson Lu, he's, he's back."
Cosimo stared incredulously at the real-time news on the tablet, almost word for word.
"Brother, Anson Deer he's back——!"
He left the tablet and turned and rushed to the office on the same floor.
Shendai Liuli picked up the tablet, was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth immediately hooked up a curvature.
"I see, it's you."
[On the night of March 7th, there was a "sequence player collective" rampage in Shinjuku District, Tokyo, Japan, where the former world's number one player and now an internationally wanted criminal - Anson Deer appeared in Shinjuku, and stopped the five sequence players in time and handed them over to the Japanese national team. 】
[The belated law enforcement team took over the chaotic situation, but did not see the figure of "Anson Deer", and people have to question again - is this "strongest sequence player" an enemy of mankind, or a friend?] 】
In the early hours of March 8, the town of Rukan, Norway.
Anson Deer hadn't slept yet, he was thinking about Natasha.
After reaching Rare quality, the backstory of "Queen of the Blue Flame: Natasha" is not much different from the previous "Queen Statue", except that some details have changed.
In the new backstory, Natasha accepts the king's help to enter the palace of Baifoya because she has discovered that the "Green Rainbow" demon is hiding in the depths of the kingdom's prison.
It was heavily guarded and prevented from even the king's closest people, and in order to fulfill the ninja master's last wish, Natasha lurked by the king's side and waited for an opportunity to gain access to the depths of the prison.
Finally, Natasha spent almost a year in the palace, and when she was just 14 years old, she got the chance to go to prison and meet the demon "Qinghong", which even the king feared.
In the original story, Natasha should have only come into contact with "Qinghong" at the age of 17, but now the story has changed, and the timeline has advanced by three years.
At the age of 14, Natasha defeated the "Green Rainbow" and took the "Green Rainbow Sacred Flame" from it, and sealed the "Green Rainbow Sacred Flame" into her body according to the instructions of the ninja master.
Unexpectedly, the power of the Qinghong Holy Fire was too strong, and Natasha couldn't grasp it after all.
As the girl fell to her knees, the afterburns of the green rainbow seeped out from her skin, and in the blink of an eye, the entire kingdom of Baifoya had been encircled, and the people were petrified one after another, slowly turning into dust in the autumn wind, and the members of the royal family were not spared, and they scattered into stone dust on the throne with the king.
Natasha felt guilty, and for her own sake, she had led to the destruction of the entire kingdom of Baiphoya.
The last wish of the ninja master has been fulfilled, Natasha has only been in the royal family for a year, and she has no special feelings for the late king, so she waited for half a month, then got up and left the kingdom of Baifoya and embarked on the road of atonement.
At the same time, on this lonely journey, she had to stay away from the crowd and force herself to learn to master the power of the "Green Rainbow Flame" in the wasteland, otherwise she might repeat the same mistakes one day.
It is a journey of atonement for sins and a practice for new power.
This is the end of the new backstory, and after that, it's time to link to the "epic" Natasha's story.
Anson Lu put his hand to his chin and whispered, "That is to say...... The difference from the original timeline is that this time Natasha meets a guy called 'Master Ninja' in the backstory. ”
The original Natasha, perhaps disgusted with poverty and strife, chose to accept the invitation of King Baifoya and enter the royal family to become the queen of the king's bright side and the strategist of the dark side.
And in the new backstory, everything is different because of the presence of this ninja master.
Natasha traveled the world with the ninja master before she was favored by the king, and her mind and skills must have changed during this journey, and then her whole life changed because of the butterfly effect.
Anson Deer thought for a moment and summoned Natasha.
The next moment, Natasha, a girl who had turned into a stone statue, appeared in front of him in a noble dark gold dress.
"Do you remember me?" Anson Deer asked as usual.
Natasha raised her slender neck, raised her cold eyes, and stared directly at Anson Deer, her pupils burning with cyan flames, and the change in mood seemed to be reflected in the flickering flames.
Seeing that Natasha didn't react, Anson Lu paused and asked, "I mean...... Well, like the memories of that Taitanic, or the memories of Upper Stone? ”
“…… Remember. Natasha's expression was no longer as cold as before, "I remembered a lot of things. ”
"That's good." Anson Lu smiled at her, "Welcome back, Queen Statue." ”
As soon as the words fell, he said categorically: "Of course, I won't let you stay as a 'stone statue' all the time, and the next advanced route, I will let you get rid of the identity of the stone statue." ”
In the process of advancing Natasha from low to rare, the reason why Anson Deer chose the advanced route of "Queen Stone Statue" was just to see if she could get her back to her previous memories.
Although, those memories can be painful.
Natasha lowered her head slightly, and said in a humble voice: "It doesn't matter, I'm content to stay by your side." The appearance of the stone statue looks like that of a young girl, but her tone is a little old-fashioned.
"Oh, don't you want to get rid of the symptoms of petrification?"
"If you can."
"Okay, then I'll first rule out the advanced route of the 'Immortal Stone Statue'." Anson Lu nodded, looking at the other three advanced routes displayed on the chess board.
There are four advanced routes for "Rare" to "Epic", which are - Immortal Stone Statue: Natasha, Ninja Master: Natasha, Avenger: Natasha, and Hall of Assassin Grandmaster: Natasha.
On the surface, the name of the Immortal Stone Statue sounds the most stylish, and it may be the strongest advanced sequence, but since Anson Lu has already made a promise, he will directly leave this route behind.
"If you only have a name, there's really little information." Anson Deer sighed softly.
He stared earnestly at the other three names, some conjectures stretching through his head.
Master Ninja ...... Did you inherit the power or identity of the dead ninja? The specific material required for this route is the "Philosopher's Stone", which sounds pretty awesome.
Grandmaster of the Assassin of the Temple...... It sounds like a more mainstream advanced route, and the direction that can be advanced after that should be more formal.
Is the material needed for this route the "power of inheritance" - the power of inheritance of the temple?
I really don't know what it is, Natasha herself has the blessing of "some fallen god of twilight", her potential does not need to be considered, maybe she will become weaker if she accepts the power of inheritance.
As for the avengers of the dead country...... Hey, hey, the kingdom of Baifoya was collapsed by Natasha's own death, she can't seek revenge on herself, right?
What is the "dead country" in this advanced route, and did Natasha take refuge in other countries after that?
If this is the case, Anson Lu has to sigh that Natasha is really unlucky wherever she goes, and she will perish in any country, which is simply a lone star.
It is impossible for him to choose this "Avenger" route, it sounds bitter and hateful. To be honest, he now has some feelings for developing games in his heart, just like watching his cyber daughter grow up step by step, so he has to choose a less abusive route.
As a result, Anson Deer ruled this item out and narrowed down the options to only two routes.
So, which route should the Assassin Grandmaster or the Ninja Master choose? This can directly affect the strength of the final "final" Natasha, and must be carefully considered.
Anson Lu's chin lifted and he thought about it for a moment.
When he came back to his senses, he found the stone girl leaning against the wall, her hands behind her back, quietly waiting for his orders.
I don't know why, Anson Lu suddenly remembered the principal's infinite advanced chess game "Sistoria", and her ears seemed to ring the song "London Bridge Falls" that she sang on the rooftop of Shangshi City.
Death stood behind her with a scythe, but she stood beside the headmaster, the smile on her face was so happy, and her singing voice was so light, as if she was enjoying the last few seconds of her life, and she was surrounded by the people who cared the most, so she had no fear of death.
At that time, Anson Deer's ears were still mixed with the roar of a dragon, but he could hear what Sistoria was singing, and he couldn't help but feel a little desolate and sad at the thought of such an ethereal song echoing in the ruins of Shangshi City.
That seemingly lively and playful girl may be the only companion of the headmaster in his decades-long journey of atonement...... The bond between a chess player and a chess piece sounds absurd, but it is possible in a person like him who is extremely lonely.
After all, this old man even enjoys playing chess with his past self so much, and that is not an expression that can be pretended.
"Natasha, do you have to spend a long time in the chess world every time you advance?"
Anson Deer looked up at her and asked.
"That's right." Natasha nodded in response, "Every time I advance, I will go through the training there before returning to you." ”
"That's right, then let you decide for yourself."
"What's the matter?" Natasha was puzzled.
"Decide your future." Anson Deer turned the chess panel to her, "Well, Master Ninja and Grandmaster Assassin, which of these two routes do you sound like you'd like to choose?" ”
"Perhaps...... Would the Immortal Stone Statue be better? ”
"Ah, why?"
Anson Lu crooked his eyebrows, and his handsome cheeks were full of confusion, and he asked if this stone statue girl had a hole in her head, and he just said that he wanted to choose the route of human form.
"Compared to other routes, it seems that the stone statue state will be more powerful." Natasha lowered her eyes and explained, "And as long as I have an immortal body, I can stay by your side and serve you all the time." ”
Hearing this, Anson Lu was stunned for a moment, and said helplessly: "No, no, no, I said it, the stone statue route is directly passed, I hope you can stay by my side as a normal person." ”
"But ......," Natasha stared at him, the blue flame in her eyes flickering, "I'm just your pawn, why should I care about the feelings of the pawn?" ”
"You're an idiot, aren't you? I promised, when I was on that island, that I would take you out into the world. Anson Lu shrugged, "Forget about those unpleasant things, live the life you want to live, and don't worry about anything." ”
Coughing twice, he added, "And...... If it's a stone statue, how can you help me go to the supermarket to buy things in the future, I'm super lazy, this is very important! ”
After a moment of silence, Natasha responded.
"Okay, I understand."
"Then choose a route, first skip the stone statue route, and skip the avenger route, it sounds too tired to be bitter and hateful, and choose one of the remaining ninja masters and assassin grandmasters."
“…… So, Master Ninja? ”
"Sure enough, I knew you'd pick this one." Anson Lu smiled.
In the new chess story, the importance of the elderly ninja master to Natasha is needless to say, and even if she regains her old memories, she should still be grateful to the deceased master.
Perhaps the deepest way to miss a person is to be him.
"Or do you know me."
Natasha lowered her eyes and said, the blue flame in her eyes swaying slowly.
"Well, then I'll call someone to collect materials, and I can't regret it." Anson Lu said this, but he was worried in his heart, he had just visited Crow, Yu Liwu, and Jiang Yijie in the past two days, and he would be a little embarrassed to come again.
But there is no way, the potential of infinite advanced chess is there, and the corresponding price is that it is very material-intensive, like a bottomless pit.
Anson Lu didn't know how exaggerated the conditions needed to be promoted to the back to make Natasha rise to the "final level chess class", which was definitely a big project.
With his own strength, it was impossible to put together so many materials.
That's where you have to rely on the power of your network.
Although the relationship between the law enforcement team was temporarily disconnected, as long as he joined the Chinese national team in the future, he would be able to cooperate with Lorenzo naturally.
The quiet night shrouded the room, Anson Lu lay on the bed and read the magazine, and he also brought some books to Natasha, after all, he knew that she liked to read, and secretly flipped through his "The Outsider" when he went to the stone.
Soon, Anson Lu became sleepy, put the magazine over his face, and learned how to sleep with a crow.
"Good night, Natasha." And when he had said that, he fell into a deep sleep.
"Good night." She seemed to not know what to call it, and lowered her eyes hesitantly, the cold flames in her eyes danced, and finally squeezed out the three words: "...... Anson deer. ”
Anson Deer was already asleep, though, sleeping soundly, and the moonlight was shining on his cheeks through the window.
