103. Ancient mystery is powerful
Chapter 104 103.Ancient Mystery and Mighty
Because there was something very important tomorrow, Everol fell asleep early with the hammerhead shark puppet and didn't chat with Lloyd.
Lloyd went back to his room and looked through the magazine that embody his sister's efforts.
The first story is a great one, about a young man and a woman living in the countryside who hear about the legend of the 'love clover' and decide to try to find it.
After a little adventure, the two really found the legendary 'love clover' in the wild, and then under the witness of the clover, they made a vow that they would get married soon after they went, and had a child, and lived a happy life.
But soon, the man noticed that the child didn't look like him at all?
Under some questioning, he didn't even know who the child's father was......
So he angrily ran back into the field to find the 'love clover' and wanted to explain, but the clover had already turned into a monster and swallowed him......
At the last moment of his life, the man saw the white bones in the belly of the clover, and he didn't know how many people he had eaten.
This is the end of the first story, and Lloyd nodded again and again and gave a high evaluation:
"What a good story, concise and clear, without losing twists and turns, but also very educational, can remind the world that love and happiness must be earned by oneself, not by such ethereal legends......"
"Putting this story at the beginning can be regarded as a subtle expression of the tone of this magazine, many legends are dangerous, just look at it, don't believe it, don't look for it."
He continued to read the next two stories, and the quality was also extremely high, and one was a comedy and one drama, which complemented the tragedy of the first one, and the reading experience was excellent.
But this is only half over, and there are still two more serials that are the main plays, but Lloyd looked at the time, closed the magazine, and then carefully stored it.
"It's really worthy of my sister, and the magazine is good! Wait until tomorrow to recommend it to my colleagues in the 18th district! ”
Lloyd is also proud of her sister's accomplishments.
"So, I'll have to work my side!"
With that, he lay down on the bed and entered his [Realm of Thought], then found the tentacle grass again and opened the glass cover.
"Let's get started."
……………………
Jenkins hasn't had a good time these days, locking himself in his study all the time, and leaving all the work at hand behind.
After the last time he failed in the basement and fell unconscious, he lay in bed until the next day before waking up, and then hurriedly called the students and gave himself a psychiatric evaluation.
The result is quite normal, not crazy for the time being, I still remember who I am, my memory has not deviated much, and my temperament has not changed much.
But at the cost of the black and white grid of the [chess game], it was more distorted, and the original new and complete texture also showed signs of breakage—several cracked lines appeared at the bottom, and the corners of the four corners became rounded due to wear.
Jenkins knew that this was a terrible price for himself......
For a moment, he was both panicked and excited.
What is terrifying is that the mysterious 'audience' is more powerful than he expected;
The excitement lies in the fact that He is definitely a Most High One who surpasses the existence of the Holy One.
So for the past two days, Jenkins has been thinking about countermeasures alone, is he staying away? Or follow up on contact? Or whistleblowing?
Before he could weigh the pros and cons, he suddenly felt a whirlwind in his head, his eyes went black, and he fainted at his desk.
Consciousness became the black soldier, landing in the center of the black-and-white chessboard.
Then, three more chess pieces appeared beside him, and then there was a burst of exclamation from the white bishop:
"Huh? What's going on? Why are you pulling me in for a meeting? Obviously, it was hard to escape last time, but it hurt me to death! ”
Except for her, everyone else remained quiet, and even if they couldn't see the expressions on their faces, they could feel the solemnity on them.
The white bishop Elolo was stunned, and turned his head to glance at the edge of the chessboard.
There was an extra figure there that wasn't there before.
Wearing a set of rotten and dilapidated armor, he could no longer distinguish the original shape and color, and it seemed that it would shatter into a pile of powder if he touched it casually.
He was sitting in a dark high-backed chair, with his chin propped up in one hand, his head slightly bowed, quietly looking at the chessboard in front of him.
His position is not where the player sits, but the angle of the spectator, but everyone on the chessboard is like a trumpet chess piece in front of him, and he can easily hold it with one hand as soon as he stretches out his hand, and then decides the direction of the whole game.
In this game, there should have been only black and white, but in this spectator, Eloro could see the tattered gray, the decaying earth, the rusty patina, and the dark red that loomed under the rust.
In many cases, only the players and the pieces have to respect the rules, and the audience can be more casual.
Behind the high-backed chair, there was an extra layer of gray mist, in which two spiral-shaped towers could be faintly seen, meandering upwards and seeming to reach the sky.
Elo only watched it for about two seconds, and suddenly felt a tingling pain in his head, and his ears began to 'buzz'.
"Don't look!"
The black chariot Goldron hurriedly reminded.
His voice sounded visibly panicked, not as calm as it used to be.
"What to do? Shouldn't we say something? ”
Valdés, the white knight, asked in a low voice, his voice sounding a little weak, and he didn't feel as confident as before.
At this time, only Jenkins can stand up.
"Let me make dealings with Him......"
After saying that, he turned around cautiously, lowered his head, and could only look at the chessboard at his feet, and then greeted him without humility or arrogance:
"Hello, mysterious [Most High], it is an honor to meet you here."
The Most High?
The remaining three were shocked when they heard this.
Is this real?
Although they joined Jenkins' Society, they did not fully agree with all of his ideas, such as the existence of the Most High, which was often heard as stories.
Only Jenkins was convinced.
But in this situation, they also have to believe it.
The three of them knew very well that this [chess game] was mysterious and powerful, and it had been running steadily for several years without any accidents, and even the sages could not interfere with and affect this ancient relic except for the owner, the black soldier.
So at the moment even the owners of this place are helpless against this mysterious spectator, which is enough to prove the claims of the black soldiers.
The Most High is real, and there really is a way to transcend the Sage!
Such a discovery eased the fear in the hearts of the three of them a little.
And Lloyd, who was off-screen, was also surprised by this title.
What does it mean to be the Most High?
It was the first time he had heard of the term.
After all, he had been reading the things in the library, and of course it would not include such a stall-level conjecture.
So how should I respond?
Lloyd thought about it for a while and sent an ambiguous 'barrage':
"Interesting name."
The four people in the chess game looked at the line of words floating in front of them, and wanted to close their eyes, but it was useless, the line of words still slowly floated in front of them, and finally disappeared to the left side of the field of vision.
But compared to before, they didn't feel bad, their brains didn't hurt, and they didn't have strange whispers in their ears.
It seems that the 'audience' has shown mercy......
Jenkins chewed on this sentence seriously, and his mind was full of thoughts.
The other party did not deny the definition of the Most High, but it seems that it was the first time he had heard such a title, which indicated that his existence was very ancient, and it was probably isolated from the world, and he did not even exist in the present world under the general definition......
Jenkins pondered as he mustered up his courage, looked up and stole a glance at the other party's image, and then quickly withdrew his gaze.
But that old and decaying image can be regarded as confirming his speculation.
He may be as old as the Chess Game, and may have just woken up?
Is it any wonder that He said before that he had no ill intentions, but just wanted to know us, and should he want to understand the world through us?
Jenkins made some bold assumptions, and then opened his mouth to carefully verify:
"This is what humans call you today, and it is not an offense, because your existence is ancient, mysterious, and powerful in our eyes."
Belch...... This guy seems to have some kind of strange misunderstanding about me, huh?
Off-screen, Lloyd scratched his head, feeling as if the situation had gone off the expected trajectory.
He never wanted to pretend to be a ghost in front of others, he just wanted to communicate normally, and then build trust and make a lot of money together.
How did things get to where they are? How did it become 'ancient, mysterious, and powerful'?
But Lloyd thought about it, it seemed like a good thing, if he could really establish an image of the Most High in their eyes, he should save a lot of trouble in the future.
So he considered the wording and sent an old-fashioned barrage:
"You're very interesting, and I like to sit in on your discussions."
When the four people on the chessboard saw this sentence floating in front of them, the tension in their hearts suddenly disappeared again.
The Most High did not show malice, but showed interest, and his methods were relatively gentle, and his life should not be in danger for the time being.
As for why the other party likes to audit, maybe it's like adults occasionally sit in on the children's chats and find it fun and interesting?
The four people present didn't dare to figure out each other's thoughts too much, but since the other party said that they liked to listen, then ......
Jenkins cleared his throat and said aloud:
"Ahem, let's start today's seminar."
