(BGM: "Pure White Night" - Big Bun Dabozz)

Although the winter in Athens is not cold, it is cloudy and dark, but this night is unexpectedly clear, just when Cheng Mo spied on the red pill of Xiyuan Temple on the sixth floor, the cloud that covered the moonlight happened to be slowly leaving, and the bright moonlight staggered along the blue shore to climb the golden beach, swaying the holly trees on the side of the road, filling the entire slope, illuminating the entire jagged white house.

At this moment, against the backdrop of the hazy city lights, the beaches of Athens are like a wonderful scenery on a postcard, making it feel out of reach.

Cheng Mo turned his head, he knew that this was not a trap, if it was a trap, then the overwhelming young animal missiles should have razed the entire building to the ground the moment he reached the sixth floor.

If it's not a trap, how can Saionji Red Pill look like he's waiting to come to his door?

Cheng Mo's heart was a little uncertain, he looked at the beach not far away, he was supposed to spend a pleasant night with Xie Minyun in a wooden beer hut, a noisy electronic music bar or a petty bourgeois café, but at the moment he had no choice but to face someone he didn't want to face at all.

"Maybe that's the helplessness of growing up. Cheng Mo thought to himself, he walked out from the side of the wall, glanced down at the Japanese tatami floor, hesitated for a moment, took off the pair of polished iron lion Tony on his feet, and stepped into the living room.

On the wall of the living room hangs a picture of the sunset over the coast, which is the same as the seascape outside the living room, like a mirror image. Underneath the sunset is a fireplace, covered with rough but beautifully patterned shells, stained with a slightly drunken fire, so that the air is filled with warmth, and there is a faint smell of firewood, which mixes with the saltiness of the waves to produce another wonderful and unique smell.

At the moment when Cheng Mo entered the living room.

Saionji Red Pill opened his eyes, his eyelashes long, trembling in the light like the wings of a moth. His handsome face was coated with a thin layer of warm light, and his smile was like a soft warm breeze, and just looking at his appearance, it was easy to let down his guard and think that he was a harmless and humble person.

But Cheng Mo knew he wasn't.

"You're here. Saionji Red Pill looked at Cheng Mo and said as if he had made an appointment with Cheng Mo.

Cheng Mo didn't answer the Saionji Red Pill, just walked with a steady step, walked to the bright yellow quimble chessboard without being fast or slow, bent down slightly and grabbed the kimono collar of the Saionji Red Pill, and lifted the Saionji Red Pill from the floor, Cheng Mo lowered his head slightly and looked down at the Saionji Red Pill. However, Xiyuan Temple Red Pill not only did not resist, but even the lines carved on his face with a smile were exactly the same as just now, Cheng Mo's heart was slightly cold, and he cheered up, he stared at Xiyuan Temple Red Pill and said slowly and coldly: "Are you ready to pay the price?"

Saionji Red Pill let Cheng Mo carry him as if he was weak, he raised his hands to make a gesture of surrender, still smiling, shaking his head and saying, "Oh! Cheng Mo, don't be so angry, violence will only make you look cowardly." ”

Cheng Mo punched Xiyuan Temple Red Pill in the abdomen without hesitation, and immediately Xiyuan Temple Red Pill cooked shrimp, arched his back, grabbed Cheng Mo's arm with both hands that were originally raised, and then vomited blood foam.

"I don't mind telling you that you do make me feel dangerous, so I'm going to get rid of it forever. ”

Saionji Red Pill raised his head and glanced at Cheng Mo, then lowered his head and rubbed it on Cheng Mo's sleeve a few times, until he lost the feeling of wetness, he raised his head again and smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I borrowed your sleeve and used it, I don't want to stain my kimono, this is a treasure that has been passed down from my great-grandfather's generation, in order to see you, I specially asked someone to bring it with me from Ritai...... You see how serious I am to you, but you just think I'm dangerous....." The smile on Saionji Red Pill faded, and he said with some sadness, "It makes me sad." ”

Cheng Mo suddenly grabbed the red pill of Xiyuan Temple, lifted him up from the tatami mat, and the red pill of Xiyuan Temple, who was in a relaxed state, shook slightly in the air like a rag doll, his face instantly turned red, and as time passed, the pair of beautiful gray pupils were about to fall out of his sockets, and his slight whimper was like a wolf's low howl, but he didn't even struggle at all, and seemed to fully accept the end of checkmate.

"Knock~!"

Cheng Mo threw the slender body of Saionji Hongmaru on the tatami mat, he looked at Saionji Hongmaru who collapsed on the tatami mat and coughed and inhaled heavily, but he was very helpless in his heart, Ayala was not threatened with death, and even longed to die, which was supported by faith, because she firmly believed that she could go to heaven by dedicating herself to the Holy Lord. But Saionji Red Pill is not threatened with death, because he is sure that he will not kill him.

At least not yet.

"Since I have caught you, I will not let you die so easily, I have prepared the 'Truth Elixir' for you, and then the two of us will play slowly. Cheng Mo condescendingly looked down at the red pill of Xiyuan Temple who was lying on the ground and whispered.

Saionji Red Pill sat up with some difficulty holding the tatami mat with both hands, he pointed to the chessboard at his feet and said, "Don't bother so much, come, let's play a game of chess first, as long as you can win, I will tell you whatever you want to ask." ”

"You think I'll believe you?"

Saionji Red Pill glanced up at Cheng Mo, at this time his face had faded from crimson to pale, and his pupils did not reveal hatred for Cheng Mo, but smiled at Cheng Mo, and then he tidied up the messy kimono that was pulled by Cheng Mo, sat on the chessboard by himself, picked up the chess jar containing the sunspot, put it next to his knees, looked at the chessboard and said: "I can tell you, no matter what medicine it is, it is useless for me, whether I am telling the truth or falsehood, I believe you can judge." And I found out your identity, I didn't run away immediately, and I didn't deliberately sell everything to Taijilong, which proves my sincerity. In the current situation, to be honest, it is you who have no choice! Cheng Mo, it's not me ......."

"Run? Do you think you can escape? Your Uroboros is still in my hands, where can you escape?"

"Running away has never been my style....." Saionji Red Pill shook his head, "You don't know me well enough, but you'll soon find out that we're actually the same kind of people......"

As he spoke, Saionji Red Pill twisted a sunspot from the chess jar, rolled up his sleeves, and stretched out a white arm from the wide cuff of his kimono. The arm shone brightly in the light of the incandescent lamp, like a white snake swimming out of a hole and hovering above the chessboard.

I saw that Saionji Red Pill held a sunspot between his two fingers and paused in the air for a second, and then in the center of the chessboard as fast as lightning, a crisp sound like thunder echoed in the living room.

Saiyuan Temple Red Pill made a gesture of invitation to Cheng Mo, and said neatly: "Since you are the carrier, then I will take the black first, not close to the eyes, but do you have the confidence to defeat yourself?"

Looking at the dark black chess pieces that fell on the "Tian Yuan position" like a black hole occupying the center of the galaxy, Cheng Mo was quite shocked in his heart, the first one fell on Tian Yuan, which was definitely not a conventional play, even in 1933, the battle between Wu Qingyuan, a genius who shook the ancient and modern times, and the so-called undefeated celebrity Ben Yin Fang Xiuya, Wu Qingyuan went against the tradition and used Tian Yuan to start, but he did not play in Tian Yuan with the first hand, but the third hand was placed in Tian Yuan, and the first two hands were respectively in the position of three and three and star, and these three hands belonged to the "forbidden hand" of Ben Yin Fang , Xiuya celebrity proposed a pause.

Hideya celebrities rely on the privilege of being able to pause to delay time frequently, so this sensational game was played for three months, until the last Hideya celebrity who played white chess narrowly won the two eyes.

And what Xiyuan Temple Red Pill said, "Do you have the confidence to defeat yourself", is clearly telling Cheng Mo that he wants to play imitation chess, and imitation chess is a rogue strategy developed according to Wu Qingyuan's Tianyuan opening. Its scoundrel lies in the fact that it is not completely in accordance with the position of the opponent's fall, but in the corresponding position, but limited imitation. That is, when a move played by the opponent is a "stinky move" or is not the most valuable move on the current board, immediately stop imitating and seize a more valuable move. As a result, the imitator is more nervous than the imitator.

For those who take the lead in black, playing imitation chess is almost guaranteed to win two or three eyes, so the entire Japanese chess world is deeply hated. It also led to the restructuring, so the modern professional chess world implemented the sunspot first sticker, and since then the winning method of "imitating chess" has almost disappeared.

"As long as you can win, I will not only tell you where Gao Yuemei is, but also hand over Chen Fang and Floran to you, and I will also tell you a big secret! Such a good thing..... You won't get ..... if you kill me," after a slight pause, he said, "It's just a game of chess, and there is nothing to lose for you, so why not give it a try?"

Saionji Red Pill's voice is soft, not as sonorous and powerful as that of boys, revealing a weakness, but it is not like "0", so deliberately enchanting. Like the sound of a flute coming from a high place, melodious, mysterious and demagogic. Although Cheng Mo was not confused by this voice, Cheng Mo really couldn't refuse the conditions offered by the red pill of Xiyuan Temple, and when death could not threaten the red pill of Xiyuan Temple, sitting down at this moment seemed to be the best choice.

Cheng Mo didn't speak, he sat silently on the cushion in front of the chessboard, he moved the chess jar to a convenient place, and then touched a white piece, he raised his wrist, looked at the black piece in the center of the chessboard with a serious expression and thought for a moment, and gently placed the chess piece in the lower right corner.

The red pill of Xiyuan Temple almost didn't think about it, and quickly twisted a sunspot from the chess jar, and with a "snap", he simply slapped the piece in the upper left corner into the corresponding symmetry point of the silent drop.

Cheng Mo played fast, Xiyuan Temple Red Pill also followed fast, but down to the eighteenth hand, Cheng Mo changed the way of playing, white chess flew to the upper left corner of black, resolutely broke off, trying to cause a fight. Saionji Red Pill glanced at the chess game, still falling on the corresponding point, and said with a smile: "Back then, I felt bored about everything, and I didn't know where the future goal was, but I happened to read the comic "Chess Soul", so I started to learn Go. When I first entered the world of Go, I thought it was really interesting and studied it very seriously, and in 10 years, when I was in junior high school, I passed an exam and became a graduate student of the Japanese Go Academy, and my goal at that time was to become a professional chess player and restore the glory of the Japanese Go game. The process went smoothly, and at the age of 14 I became the youngest active chess player at the time..... and worshiped Ben Yin Fang Xiufang as a teacher......."

Xiyuan Temple Red Pill broke the silence, Cheng Mo didn't mind knowing more about this powerful enemy, he said lightly sarcastically: "Then how did you develop into what you are now? Could it be that you found that your strength was not strong and you couldn't achieve your goal at all, so you gave up halfway?"

At this time, Cheng Mo was falling and suppressing the black chess pieces in the upper left corner, while Saionji Red Pill was attacking the chess pieces in his lower right corner in one step according to Cheng Mo's method.

Although it is an imitation of Cheng Mo playing chess, the movements and demeanor of the red pill of Xiyuan Temple are much more handsome and elegant than Cheng Mo's genuine version, as if the master is teaching his disciples to play chess. followed Cheng Mo with beautiful movements and dropped a piece, and Saionji Red Pill spoke: "At first, I liked Go because of the intricacies of Go, and the situation of each chess piece will always change as the game progresses, and this change is almost like the relationship between people, which can become more and more complex, even beyond the imagination of chess players. And as long as the game is beyond your own imagination and calculation, then you have lost control of the game. Therefore, every move must be made with care, maintain a high degree of caution with the opponent's moves, beware of the game developing in an unpredictable direction, you can not breathe at all, you must always be more agile and flexible than the opponent to win...... But after I joined the chess academy, I found that this was not the case. ”

"How's that?"

"Maybe the victory and defeat of Go at the beginning is very pure, whoever has a high level can win, but later I realized that you not only have to control the rules inside the chessboard, but also learn to deal with the hands and feet outside the chessboard, you have to be more ruthless, more accurate, more fierce than the opponent to win, even if you do this, there are always forces outside the chessboard to interfere with the victory. In particular, the so-called way of chess that we have imposed on Go in Japan is to pay attention to the elegance, taste and oriental virtues of Go on the surface, but in fact it is to make the latecomers bow to the hegemony of the former. Not only that, but chess players will do whatever it takes to win, and in order to win, they can resort to all kinds of tricks, such as time limits, pauses, blocks, and even artificial intelligence as a means of cheating....," said Saionji Red Pill.

Cheng Mo shook his head: "That can only mean that your strength is not enough, when your strength is enough to absolutely crush the other party, any tricks are useless." ”

Saionji Red Pill smiled and said, "I thought the same way at the beginning, so I told my teacher Honinbo Hideyoshi about my dissatisfaction, and he pondered for a long time and told me about the 1933 battle between Wu Qingyuan and Honin Fang Hideya..... I think you should also know what kind of historical background this war took place, at that time my country was planning the Manchurian incident, preparing to launch a war against China, and Wu Qingyuan is your Chinese genius boy, in short, this chess game not only caused a sensation in Japan, but even your Chinese media also reported it, so it was originally just an ordinary game, but it became a confrontation between China and Japan. ”

Xiyuan Temple Red Pill looked up at Cheng Mo, and he said lightly: "Therefore, the result of the game is doomed from the beginning, no matter how strong Wu Qingyuan is, he can only lose, because at that time, the country was strong, and this game of chess was hyped by the media more than just a game of chess." As for this game, anyone who is familiar with Go probably knows it, but what you don't know is that when you play to the middle game, black 159 moves, at this time, black will win a small gesture is very obvious. So Ben Yin Fang Xiuya announced another hexagram, this is the twelfth hanging, and only four chess games were played that day. After a week of resuming the game, Xiuya celebrity finally played an earth-shattering trick - the white 160 volley into the black formation. Black 161 is the best at this. Under the influence of 160, to 188, the five sons on the right side of Black were eaten, and the situation turned in favor of White. On the final day of the game, black's defeat seemed a foregone conclusion...... And these 160 earth-shattering magic hands were conceived by Hideya's disciple Maeda Chen Er when he studied collectively with his brothers...... Even if Wu Qingyuan comes up with a wonderful start and has a strong strength, he alone can't defeat a country after all......"

"So this makes you not interested in Go? Because you found that compared to the world chess game, the world chess game, Go seems to be too small?"

"You still know me, at that time I not only won the World Youth Championship, but also won the championship of the Japanese Rookie King, but then I retired, many people can't understand and feel sorry for me. Because for me, even if I reach the highest point of Go, I am still just a chess piece. It's a chess piece of the chess academy, unless I can replace my teacher as the director of the chess academy, but the name 'Ben Yin Fang' is not something that can be obtained with strength. This is like the company's employees, no matter how hard they work, are just pawns of the boss, no matter how hard the bosses work, they are just pawns of the chaebol, and no matter how much money the chaebols make, they are the pawns of the state..... And the weak country is the pawn of the strong country...... When I thought about it, I thought that Go was nothing more than that..... In this case, I might as well join the biggest game, there is no need to waste time playing Go....." Saionji Red Pill looked at Cheng Mo again, and asked with a burning gaze in his eyes, "I think you are the same as me, right?"

"Oh..... I've never had a boring life, I don't have any big ambitions, and I just want to be a librarian. Cheng Mo said lightly.

"Haha~!" Saionji Red Pill laughed, at first just a chuckle, then laughed back and forth, and after a while he stopped, panting and saying, "This is the most sincere lie I've ever heard." ”

Cheng Mo shrugged his shoulders and said, "Believe it or not, in short, you and I are not the same kind of person. ”

Saiyuan Temple Red Pill shook his head, and he said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "We are all the same kind of people in our bones, the only difference is that you are still bound by the feelings of the world, and I ...... Completely untethered...... So I can become a god, and if you can't break free from the bondage of feelings, you're just a mortal. ”

After saying this, the momentum of the red pill of Xiyuan Temple, who was sitting opposite Cheng Mo, increased sharply, his face showed a detached and absolute expression, he straightened his back, put his hands on his knees, and looked down at Cheng Mo with his eyes down, as if he was really an existence that could dominate everything, and he was an opponent that Cheng Mo couldn't resist.

At this time, it has already gone down to the one hundred and eighth hand, if Cheng Mo doesn't want to find a way, and Xiyuan Temple Red Pill has been going down according to the way of "taking the other way, returning the other body", in the endgame, Xiyuan Temple Red Pill will definitely rely on the advantage of Kuroko to win him two and a half.

In the eyes of the masters, Cheng Mo has almost no chance of winning.

Cheng Mo sneered: "If you want to be a god, you can be a god, as long as you don't come to hinder me, whether you are Amaterasu or a god, I will do whatever you want." After saying that, Mo slapped a white piece in his hand.

However, this move is extremely bad, revealing a gap to the big dragon in the upper left corner, if the Xiyuan Temple Red Pill continues to follow Cheng Mo's play, then the Xiyuan Temple Red Pill can still win two and a half eyes in the final game, if at this time the Xiyuan Temple Red Pill no longer follows Cheng Mo's play, first seize the opportunity to let his big dragon squeeze out of the encirclement, then he has a high probability of defeating Cheng Mo, let him throw in advance to admit defeat.

For the first time, Saionji Red Pill fell into the long exam, he grabbed a chess piece and twisted the chess pieces in the chess jar like sand, and the chess pieces made a pleasant rustling sound in the collision, there is no doubt that this is a trap for Cheng Mo to change.

"I don't have much time for you. Cheng Mo said coldly.

Xiyuan Temple Red Pill was silent, but he picked up a chess piece with a solemn expression, but his movements were frozen above the lower right corner of the chessboard, just looking at the movements, it seemed that he chose to continue to imitate Cheng Mo, but on the way to Luozi, Xiyuan Temple Red Pill put the sunspot heavily in the upper left corner of the chessboard, and suddenly the chessboard collided with the chess piece, making a dull low sound.

Cheng Mo exchanged the big disadvantage for the transformation of the Xiyuan Temple Red Pill imitation tactics, but reversing the disadvantage From the chessboard, it is a completely impossible task. Fortunately, Cheng Mo was in a carrier state at this time, his thinking was clear, and his brain was running as fast as an alpha dog, even though it was a big disadvantage in his eyes, he also fought for a glimmer of possibility of winning, and a kind of power was surging in his body.

At the beginning of the breakthrough in the Central Plains, Cheng Mo was tossing and turning in the big pattern of black chess, stabbing or flying, or sharp or jumping, and the tricks of each hand were so wonderful that they were much higher than the usual level, and even Cheng Mo himself was a little surprised.

But what surprised Cheng Mo even more was that Xiyuan Temple's red pill's chess skills were far beyond his imagination, if he wasn't in a carrier state, Xiyuan Temple Red Pill would be enough to win him even if he didn't use Tianyuan's rogue moves, at this time, even if Cheng Mo was in a carrier state, Xiyuan Temple's red pill's black chess also coped with the flow of the clouds, chic and free, step by step, and fierce moves, forcing him to have almost no chance to breathe.

The white chess pieces in the disadvantage are like a fierce beast trapped in the cage, jumping like thunder, tearing and biting wildly, but it can't bite through the dense encirclement of black chess.

The white pieces on the chessboard are becoming more and more defeated.

Seeing that the overall situation has been decided, Saiyuan Temple Red Pill didn't know that you took out a Hinata juniper fan from there, and slowly fanned the wind, he looked at Cheng Mo who was contemplating and chuckled: "It's a pity, although you just started to hide your strength and pave the way for your bad chess, and even left a lot of back hands so that you can turn the situation into a balance of power or a small advantage after playing badly, but you want to defeat me in my rules, even if you are Kejie.... No, not even if you're an alpha dog......"

Cheng Mo ignored the provocation of Saionji Red Pill, he forgot about Gao Yuemei for the time being, and also forgot about Saionji Red Pill, and even forgot the existential crisis that he urgently needed to solve at the moment, he only had this game of chess in his eyes.

There are not many people who play Go in Huaxia, like Cheng Mo who is unwilling to go to a chess school in addition to playing chess on the Internet, he can only do life and death problems in his spare time, many people don't like to do life and death problems, but Cheng Mo likes it very much, he has always believed that chess is impermanent, and what kind of chess shape must be able to play, just like a lot of strange and tricky and messy "bad chess" in the chess endgame, Yang Guanxuan is the best at this, with profound calculation skills, peeling off the cocoon of the "bad chess" into his own weak advantage situation, and then win a game.

This thrill of solving puzzles is stronger than the thrill of overcoming opponents.

In Cheng Mo's eyes, the black chess pieces are like a samurai holding a Japanese sword, tossing and turning, wantonly bullying the white dragon, but the white dragon is powerless to resist, can only bleed, silently moaning to find a way out. There was a smashing and heavy atmosphere on the chessboard, and the misfortunes of life and the injustices suffered were like the shackles of fate tightly binding this white dragon.

Cheng Mo allowed the black chess to intercept one of the white dragon's tails, and the situation was even worse, and his expressionless fall, like a stone Buddha, turned his head to attack the weak point of the black chess.

Saionji Red Pill picked up a sunspot, and the black chess pieces that were as smooth as jade shone with a colorful halo in the light, like a mysterious warning.

With a "snap", the chess pieces landed on top, and after intercepting the tail of the white dragon, it threatened the entire white dragon. Saiyuan Temple Red Pill shook the Hinata cypress fan and said, "You will die! This chess move is like the momentum of the country, as long as the general trend has been achieved, even if you have a thousand abilities, how can you stop it?"

Cheng looked at the chessboard steadily, if he continued like this, he had not been able to destroy the opponent's big dragon, his own big dragon would be completely dead, he had to stop, he had to give up the attack, work on the spot, and then survive, so that he seemed to be able to find other opportunities to win.....

But is there any point in living like this?

After all, I still lose.

"Your life and your death are all fruits. Cheng Mo thought to himself, he closed his eyes, raised his head, picked up a white piece from the chess jar, and smashed into the black formation, the white chess was like a desperate warrior, desperately throwing himself into the enemy camp, just to get the head of the general, and make the impossible possible.

The chess game suddenly became extremely heroic, it was no longer a gentle game, but a bloody fight to the death.

Saionji Red Pill didn't seem to expect Cheng Mo to choose such a decisive way, he put away the folding fan with a solemn face and attacked the white dragon, his arm was like a giant python, and he choked the opponent's throat again and again. The two of them are like samurai who don't block each other, you stab me, I'll stab you again, and it's up to you to see who can't hold on and fall first......

After this big switch of stabbing each other, Cheng Mo actually relied on a clever move to hold on, delaying the victory and defeat to the official. Then the officials were all gone, and the robbery in the upper left corner began.

The rules of robbery set up by the creators of Go, which are truly peculiar and seem to be the foreshadowing of all the reversals: when there is a situation in which the two sides raise each other's pieces, the proposed party must first play a move elsewhere and force the opponent to respond before he can return the game. This cycle is called robbery.

And the victory or defeat of the robbery is all in the robbery materials mastered by both sides.

Cheng Mo's big dragon died without stiffening, and at this time he became a good robbery, so he forced the red pill of Xiyuan Temple to respond one after another until it was exhausted. The two of them began to stab each other again, you mentioned it, I brought it back, and they have been fighting for it.

Until the last point.

Cheng Mo didn't need to count to know that he had won half a eye, he looked up at the sweaty Xiyuan Temple Red Pill, although the Xiyuan Temple Red Pill's expression was very annoyed, but his eyes did not show a trace of regret for changing the tactics, Cheng Mo was suspicious in his heart, and pretended to be proud and said: "You don't know what I'm best at, which is to do life and death questions." ”

Saionji Red Pill spat out a turbid breath, as if he was unwilling, and said, "I know now." ”

"If you lose, tell me where Gao Yuemei is, and Chen Fang and Floran....."

Xiyuan Temple Red Pill didn't have the slightest intention of escaping, and said directly: "Gao Yuemei is in Jingquan's hands, and I told him that you are Cheng Mo, is this a surprise to you?"
