Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Deadly Game of the Death Train (9)
(Because it's a two-in-one update.,So the update is late.,9 chapters owed.,There are two more chapters updated normally today)
The atmosphere in the thirteenth carriage of K20 has been so tense that no one dares to breathe easily, especially the "chess pieces" standing on both sides of the corridor, although most of them can't understand what the two people are playing, but they understand that the chess piece on the chessboard represents themselves, some people are staring closely at the chess piece representing themselves, constantly wiping their sweat, some people dare not look at it, and keep drawing crosses on their chests to pray for God's blessing, and some people have fallen in a pool of blood and turned into a warm corpse.
Cheng Mo stood opposite the Sith the Clown, and in the middle of the two of them floated a black and white chessboard, on which were black and white chess pieces representing the king (king), queen (queen), chariot (chariot), bishop (elephant), knight (horse), and Praetorian Guard (soldier).
Cheng Mo won the clown Sith in rock-paper-scissors, so he took the lead in white, and at this moment the battle situation has entered a state of hand-to-hand combat, and Cheng Mo has an advantage on the scene, but on the surface, it seems that he is at a disadvantage.
At this moment, his black hair was all wet with sweat, sticking to his cheeks, his face was covered with sweat the size of beans, as if he was in a sauna, although he was expressionless, but his eyes were very focused, and he was obviously fully engaged in this victory.
However, the clown Sith who was at a disadvantage opposite Cheng Mo was calm, and said to Cheng Mo while whistling: "Now you have no choice, you have to redeem it....."
Because of the first-mover advantage, Cheng Mo chose to start in Italy, which will generally be an open situation, and the clown Sith did not defend passively, but used the Scandinavian defense, immediately counterattacked the center, and directly dispatched the queen, theoretically speaking, the premature dispatch of the queen and the repetition of the move are against the principle of the opening, which is undoubtedly not a very good choice.
However, for the Clown Sith, this is a good choice, because his purpose is to force Cheng Mo to exchange with him, and his ultimate goal is obvious, he doesn't care about winning or losing, he just wants to redeem Cheng Mo's queen - Xie Minyun.
Xie Minyun saw Cheng Mo close her eyes in pain, she had played Go with Cheng Mo so many times, knowing that although he looked weak and timid, he was actually a typical calculating player, his mood and anger were invisible, his chess style was thick and balanced, and his psychological quality was so good that he rarely made the wrong moves, which made her feel that there was no gap at all, and if she made a mistake, then she would be hit by Cheng Mo's fatal blow.
This is Cheng Mo's chess style, which is outrageously calm and precise in his calculations.
But at the moment, after Cheng Mo carried the weight of sixteen people's lives, presumably this pressure was so great that it was unimaginable to ordinary people, for example, at this moment, he had to face a reality, playing chess must be eaten, Cheng Mo did not take the next step, because the next step he had to eat one of the soldiers of the Clown Sith, and the chain reaction was to take the next step, and the Clown Sith was going to eat his soldiers as well....
Xie Minyun looked at Cheng Mo with his back to her, his slender body was trembling slightly, her heart was also dripping blood, a powerless anger burned in Xie Minyun's heart, this should not be the cruelty that Cheng Mo should face.
"There's no time! this is the game you proposed, you should be ready..... Don't you have a saying in Huaxia? It's called Ci Bu Commanding Soldiers..... Now you are faced with this situation, and if you want to see that when there is a war, it is not the life of one person, but the lives of thousands of people..... If you hesitate like that, it will lead to even more tragic results..."The Clown Sith said as he touched his chin for a moment, in a tone that seemed like a demagoguery.
Cheng Mo opened his eyes, picked up his own white soldier on the floating chessboard, and ate the black soldier of the Clown Sith.
The clown Sith laughed "haha": "Yes! Yes! A man should be decisive in killing, as a king, he has no determination to let his subordinates die, and he is not worthy of being a king...."After saying that, the Clown Sith quickly ate the chess piece that Cheng Mo had just eaten his chess piece, and raised his hand to make a shooting motion, and made a "piu" sound from his mouth.
At this time, standing at the end of the team of the Jokers, the man representing the eaten chess piece, had a bloody hole in his forehead with his eyes wide open, and his body slowly slid against the wall
Watching his chess pieces fall to the ground, the clown Sith said, "It's your turn now!" and then he asked Cheng Mo with great concern: "Do you want a gun?"
Cheng Mo was silent for a long time, lowered his head and said, "No need to ....."
The Clown Sith immediately laughed "haha", "Come, come, let me see, let me see, what are you going to do with your soldiers....."
Cheng Mo didn't speak, turned around and walked towards the end of the line, when he passed Evans, he took the AK47 in Evans's hand, and walked step by step towards the middle-aged white man who represented the soldier he was eaten just now, at this moment, the middle-aged white man with pale blonde hair had all his foreheads wrinkled, and his legs were limp and leaned against the wall with tears streaming down, and he said unconsciously: "Don't, don't!"
Cheng Mo walked up to the middle-aged white man, he half-squatted close to his face and whispered: "What is your name, where do you live.....?"
"Don't, don't, I beg you not to do it. The middle-aged white man grabbed Cheng Mo's sleeve and shook his face full of snot and tears.
Cheng Mo first quietly stared at the white middle-aged eyes, and when his mood calmed down a little, he put AK47 aside, knelt in front of the man, drew a cross on his chest in the manner of Nicholas, and said softly: "Pray with me.... My Lord, merciful Father, show your true ......"
The white middle-aged man looked at Cheng Mo's calm and pious face, his expression was dull for a moment, and then he couldn't help but kneel down, he subconsciously repeated according to Cheng Mo's words: "My lord, merciful father, please show your true body...."
"Light the way for me....."
"Light the way for me....."
"Please forgive my sins, please dispel the darkness around me...."
"Please forgive my sins, please dispel the darkness around me...."
"I saw your merciful hand on my shoulder....."
"I saw your merciful hand on my shoulder....."
"Lead Me to Eternal Paradise....."
"Lead Me to Eternal Paradise....."
"Amen!"
"Amen!"
Speaking of the last sentence "Amen", the white middle-aged man's head had completely hung down to Cheng Mo's shoulder, he put one hand around the white middle-aged man's head, and gently stroked his back with the other, "What's your name?"
"Sam.... Sam McOlive ..... replied with a sob.
"Where do you live?"
"England .... 127 Claude Road, Falkirk...."
"Is there anything you'd like to tell your family, or what would you want?"
"I don't have any wishes, I just want to say to my parents: I'm sorry....."
Cheng Mo could feel that his shoulders were completely soaked with tears, and he hugged the back of the white middle-aged man's head and said in a very low voice: "Wait a minute, I will break the car window..... You struggle to jump in the direction of the train..... If you're lucky, you'll survive..... Take my word to heart and be sure to jump forward..... We leave our fate to God! He will bless you!"
When the middle-aged man heard Cheng Mo's words, his body trembled, "Thank you..... Thank you!" There was renewed hope in his tone, and he did not know that jumping from a train traveling at 120 kilometers per hour was no different from committing suicide.
Cheng Mo patted the middle-aged man's back, stood up, picked up the AK47, opened the insurance, and shot at the glass behind the middle-aged man, the violent gunfire echoed in the silent carriage, the tempered glass shattered in response, Cheng Mo used the butt of the gun to remove the cracked glass on the side of the window, and then whispered to the middle-aged man: "May God bless you, Sam....."
The middle-aged man got up from the ground, and then climbed up the window of the train corridor, he grabbed the bulge on the side of the window, squatted on the edge of the window, hesitated for a long time, looked back at Cheng Mo's calm face, and jumped down in the direction of the train in the screams of everyone, and disappeared from people's vision in an instant.
Outside the window, Lake Baikal is blue and clear, and the cold Siberian August sun shines on the surface of the wilderness.
Cheng Mo walked back to the front with the AK47, and when he passed by Mr. Evans, he easily stuffed the AK47 back into the arms of Mr. Evans, who was still looking out of the window with a frightened face, Rebecca woke up and tossed because she didn't sleep well all night, and fell asleep in Mrs. Evans's arms again, she didn't know the danger, and raised an innocent face.
Cheng Mo didn't have any unbearable emotions, but he felt that death in this state was not a blessing.
When passing by Xie Minyun at the front, he saw Xie Minyun turn her head away, she didn't let him see her face, but the moment she turned around, Cheng Mo saw the sun flickering on her cheeks, it was the light of tears.....
This is the first time Cheng Mo has seen Xie Minyun cry.
For the first time, Cheng Mo was so eager for power, and a raging fire ignited in his heart, but he knew that he was nothing now, he could only be silent, he walked back to the opposite side of the clown Sith, and said lightly: "Go on." With that, he moved the pawn forward.
Sith the Clown didn't continue, he shrugged his shoulders, "This is the most exciting game I've ever played..... Awesome....." Then he crossed his fingers and shook his chin, smacking his mouth and saying sincerely, "You have the potential to be a god, to tell you the truth, the whole train, you are the funniest person I have ever seen..... It's even more fun than I thought .... If you make it to the end, I wouldn't mind leading into a whole new world for you to master...... Real power..... A power like me....."
"Then you have to survive to the end. Cheng Mo said expressionlessly.
The Clown Sith laughed again and bent over, "Live.... Arrive.... Most..... After?" he gasped and said, "Hey!good boy, I really don't want you to resent me, really, everyone has reason to resent me, but you don't..... You see, if you say you want to play a game with me, I will play the game with you, if you say you want to use people as chess pieces, I will promise you to use people as chess pieces, if you want to save your little girlfriend, you want to save people you know.... So set up a ....." Sith the Clown pointed at Xie Minyun, Evans' family, and then at Nicholas, and then shook his head, "I didn't demolish you, why do you hate me? You should bless me, bless me! Although your blessing doesn't matter to me....."
"But..... For a lonely person like me, I occasionally want to feel the feeling of being blessed....." the Clown Sith raised his hands, then patted his pants pockets and said to Cheng Mo.
"I bless you..... I bless you.... Go to hell...."Cheng Mo said through gritted teeth.
"Yes, yes, that's the expression! Anger! Hate! The stronger your emotion, the stronger the thrill of revenge..... Bang~!" The clown Sith made another explosive action in front of Cheng Mo, but in an instant he put back his somewhat crazy expression and shrugged his shoulders, "Oh! Although such a blessing is not bad, I still prefer to stay in the world, hell is simple and crazy boring, heaven is crazy and boring, only the world is really interesting, such as today, I think you are my biggest entertainment today....."
After saying that, the Clown Sith moved his chess pieces again, and his strategic approach remained the same, not to win, but to redeem Cheng Mo's queen.
Cheng Mo began to lay out, and the Sith the Clown gave up the white checkered elephant, and then placed his troops in the white grid to form a strong guard of C6 and E6, which is a typical layout plan in Scandinavian defense.
But Cheng Mo, who had the first opportunity, took the lead in completing the casting, and at the same time prepared that once the Black King had a short castling, he would launch an attack on the king's wing.
The two sides again exchanged horses and two pairs of soldiers, and the situation was simplified.
In the process, three of Cheng Mo's sixteen sons died again, one of the horses was Nicholas's younger brother Vorobeev, Cheng Mo promised to send one million dollars to Vorobeev's family, and sent his sister to the United States to study at university, and Vorobev also jumped off the train from the window.
Vorobev jumped very simply, without shedding tears or saying much, just hugged Nicholas and Ivan, and then jumped without hesitation.
Nicholas stuck his head out of the window, and did not retract it for a long time, to see if his little brother had any chance of survival, but the speed of the car was so fast that he could only see a black shadow falling like a burlap bag on the grassy hillside, and the cold wind hung over his bare head, blowing his tears and snot flying together, and he could hardly breathe, but still did not retract his head back to the window.
Because he was afraid that a signal light would cut off Nicholas's head, Cheng Mo and Ivan pulled Nicholas back, this big man's face had wrinkled into a bitter gourd face, he crossed and finished talking about Wanfu Maria, and grabbed Cheng Mo and Ivan's arms and said guiltily: "Actually, we really plan to do it after this trip..... I hurt him, he just wanted to be a mechanic.... I'm guilty...."
Cheng Mo pressed the hand that Nicholas put in his arms and touched the gun, and whispered: "Nicholas, you have to live, you still have to take care of Vorobev's family, and your sister.... You can't die so easily, you still have to bear the responsibility!"
Nicholas's eyes were completely covered with tears, but he still didn't put down his hand, choked up and said: "And Ivan.... And Ivan..... He'll take that responsibility. ”
"Nicholas, you yourself have parents, brothers and sisters, besides, you are going to be impulsive, do you think Ivan still has a chance to live? Sending him to death is just a way to shirk responsibility....." Cheng Mo looked at Nicholas and looked at Ivan.
Ivan's eyes were full of hatred, powerlessness and other meanings, Cheng Mo couldn't tell whether it was to himself, to the Clown Sith, or both, he felt that Ivan's eyes were clearly asking: "Didn't you say okay, can you take us alive?"
Cheng Mo doesn't quite understand this kind of brotherly feelings, because he and Cheng Haoyang have no feelings at all, they belong to the kind that is out of sight, and he doesn't believe in the brotherhood played on TV, especially the reckless, ridiculous, and stupid feelings between underworlds, which can be seen from the movie "Crazy Boy" in the nineties, it is just a kind of underworld fairy tale, just like the fairy tale of "Beauty and the Beast" is as unreliable, but the latter belongs to the romance between men and women, and the former is more of a romance between men.....
In Cheng Mo's opinion, this is the same as those ninth-rate crash deaths, cancer deaths, and gun blocking deaths..... There is no difference between deliberately sensational Korean dramas, they are all a bit brain-dead.
But at this moment, it seems that this kind of relationship is not fictional, it is real, perhaps as Fu Yuanzhuo said, "The so-called friends are those who are willing to do things for you that only fools do." ”
It seems to be an enviable thing to have such friends and brothers.
Cheng Mo waited until Nicholas let go of his hand in his pocket before returning to the chessboard, he had calculated how many more pieces he would have to pay to checkmate the Joker Sith, the price was greater than he had originally expected, but this estimate was also in his prediction.
One of the strongest things about Cheng Mo's chess game is that others only look at one move or two or three moves, and he will see the middle of the board, or even the end of the board.....
——————————————————————
"It's over!" Napoleon VII looked at the layout of the pieces on the chessboard and calculated the ending.
"Is it over?" asked Gregory, puzzled.
"The most obvious feature of the situation is that White has the advantage of a double elephant, and the double elephant is the most powerful in the current open situation, as long as White starts to break through the center, Black, that is, the Joker, can only surrender, and the end result is only to see if Black has a chance to get rid of White's queen..... Grandmaster Guseinov G has faced the same game twice in 2014 and 2015, and White is a master and knows how to play...... So the game is over..... Bai Fangsheng!" Napoleon VII looked at Cheng Mo's side face on the screen and said lightly, he really didn't expect that he would actually see this face here.
Coincidence! Or is it a coincidence? Napoleon VII was somewhat unpredictable.
"Now it's time for us to talk about how to get in touch with the military....." Grigory said with some impatience.
Napoleon VII picked up the black tea on the table, took a sip carefully, and then said: "Wait ....."
"Wait for the Sith the Clown and the other Chosen to fight?"
"Of course!"
Grigory hesitated and said, "But they're also waiting for you to fight the Sith the Clown." ”
Napoleon VII said lightly: "The Sith the Clown is not a fool, he knows who to attack first..... I'm just curious to see how he will break up the unity of the rabble...."
