Chapter 104: The Chess Pieces and the Chess Players
(Thanks to the "Silly Huan Who Loves to Read" and "zsl_11" two big guys for their rewards, the two-in-one update, and there will be a more later)
August 4 at one o'clock Moscow time.
A piece of news began to be broadcast on major news platforms: "According to RIA Novosti: The K20 train from Moscow to the capital was hijacked by terrorists, and some witnesses said: the train was burning and running on the shore of Lake Baikal.
The Russian military has already launched an operation, rescue workers and negotiators have gone to the site of the incident, investigators have also launched an investigation into the incident, and Russian President ΠΡΜΡΠΈ is urgently going to Irkutsk......
On the K20 train, there are more than 900 passengers and crew members, and it is reported that at least 80 Chinese people have taken the train, and no casualties have been reported. β
The news, accompanied by a satellite photo of a wreckage train moving between a blue lake and a red-and-green red pine forest, was reprinted and reported by many media outlets, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, causing an uproar on the Internet.
The hijacking of a train of more than 900 people is an earth-shattering event all over the world.
..........
Cheng Mo, who was at the center of the storm, had a calm face, but he didn't look good, at this moment the carriage was filled with cold wind, blowing Cheng Mo's black hair flying, the weather in Siberia was cool in summer, but Cheng Mo's expressionless face was still covered with beads of sweat, like sweating profusely after exercise.
Cheng Mo, who was engrossed, and the leisurely clown Sith stood opposite each other, the chessboard in the middle of them was like a magic carpet held in the air by the wind, and what was even more mysterious was that there was a mirage-like colored projection on the heads of the two, but the chessboard on the projection was not a chess piece, but a person, who was used as a chess piece.....
There was an incredible scene on the train, but no one spoke, and everyone watched with bated breath as if this was the scene of the World Series, and the two people in front of them were competing for the title of World Champion.
The situation on the chessboard is really unfavorable for Cheng Mo, the queen represented by Xie Minyun is running rampant everywhere on the chessboard, you must know that the queen is the most powerful chess piece in chess, because she can go straight, horizontally, diagonally, and the number of squares she can walk is not limited, as long as there are no other chess pieces in front of her.
Therefore, even if Cheng Mo's chess strength is much higher than that of the Clown Sith, he has fallen into great passivity, if it is a normal game, the opponent has such a queen chess piece that Cheng Mo can't eat, even if Cheng Mo is powerful, he can only disarm and surrender.
But what's interesting is that for the clown Sith, he can't eat Cheng Mo's son at will, because Cheng Mo's son represents his people, and the only thing he can eat without scruples is the king who represents Cheng Mo.....
At the beginning of today, Cheng Mo, who took the lead in white, changed back to the king soldier system from the rear soldier system, and the clown Sith should use the king soldier, and the two have entered the Spanish opening debate at this time.
With an invincible queen pawn and a huge advantage for the Sith the Clown, he deliberately chose a more positive change and then discarded a pawn to disrupt the White king's pawn and complicate the battle.
Although Cheng Mo's soldier type was not ideal at this time and Zili was not active, he coped calmly, patiently and steadily improved Zili's position, and put pressure on the Clown Sith little by little, so that the situation developed in the direction he wanted.
Neither of them had ever played such a contradictory and chaotic chess game, and the clown Sith wanted to eat as few of each other's discs as possible, and directly killed Cheng Mo's king, while Cheng Mo fell into an even more dilemma, and there was only one way to go in front of him, an almost impossible one......
Both sides are extremely distorted, and as the battle becomes more and more complicated, all kinds of seemingly ridiculous moves frequently appear, such as the queen representing Xie Minyun running in front of Cheng Mo's elephant but not eating, and Cheng Mo's horse can trample the car representing Nicholas to death, but it doesn't move.....
This scene is worse than that of beginners, and it looks a little thrilling to everyone on the field.
Because Cheng Mo's chess pieces represent innocent human lives, Cheng Mo eats one, and an innocent life is lost.
And the pawns of the Clown Sith represent the enemies of everyone present, and Cheng Mo sending one away means that everyone's chances of survival are greatly increased.
The expressions of the survivors in the two carriages were wonderful, some were angry at Cheng Mo's indecision, some were sorry because the Sith the Clown had once again given up eating children, some were so tormented that the expressions of being ready to flee were written on their faces, and some were very sure that they were ready to attack at any time.
All in all, this is a colorful ukiyo-e of the human heart, in which all people show their most primitive state in the face of existence and desire, and at this moment, in these two carriages, everyone is lonely, immersed in their own empty silence, allowing greed, selfishness, stubbornness, and vulnerability to fill their last shelter.
"silent, you have disappointed me so much, if you want to live, how can you do it without selling something?" said the clown Sith shaking his head to Cheng Mo.
"You also disappointed me a little, why don't you want my queen to eat all your sons!" Cheng Mo said coldly.
"How can I let you die so quickly, I want to see more about what kind of color you are in the depths of your heart....." the clown Sith said with a smile.
Cheng Mo saw the clown Sith's serpent-like tongue sticking out from the crack in the mask's smile, and then licked it on the mask, the feeling was creepy, like being wrapped around the neck of a python, it was tightening its body, you could feel the split letter hissing in front of your eyes, and then it slowly stretched out the terrifying triangular head in front of your eyes.....
The clown Sith looked at Cheng Mo and said: "Don't be naΓ―ve, silent, you can't think of a solution if you procrastinate, why care about morality? Morality doesn't exist in the first place, it's all imagined by the superiors, the shackles that imprison our minds and souls, yes, morality is conducive to social development to a certain extent, but this hypocritical appearance also greatly restricts our evolutionary speed, the essence of human evolution is natural selection, the strong are respected, to borrow Yuval Harari's words: war is' The school of life', 'What doesn't kill me will make me stronger'..... Therefore, only with a heart that breaks all rules can you become stronger....."
The clown Sith hooked his hand like Cheng Mo, as if to signal to come to his embrace, "Come on!silent, you have already let eight innocent people die, what does it matter if a few more die? Besides, you and these people are just a meeting in the water..... Why do you care about their life or death, people are meant to die, this is a natural and reasonable process, you are not afraid of death, but you are afraid of letting them die? As for your little girlfriend.....
The clown Sith looked at Xie Minyun on the side and shrugged his shoulders, "Women are just a boring species, except for breeding, they are all burdens..... You are still young, you may not understand how annoying women are, and when you go through it a few more times, you will find that women are both superficial and lack wisdom..... Really, I'll tell you as a kind of passer-by!"
Cheng Mo didn't speak, but just ate one of the Clown's soldiers, and the Clown Sith laughed wildly, "Yes! Yes, that's it, let's make the battle more chaotic, you know, the more chaotic, the more real human nature will be, and everyone will be naked in front of you." β
The Clown Sith did not continue to play chess, but turned his head to look at the person representing the chess piece, who happened to be the person from the Republic of Han, at this moment his will had completely collapsed, and he collapsed in his seat, just looking at the Clown Sith with his eyes open in horror, and the woman next to him was still crying, probably a couple.
Sith the Clown shook his head, "Hey, I'm sorry, but since fate has chosen it this way, there's nothing I can do..... I heard that a spy was with that Shirkov, and if you can provide some information, maybe I can help you..."
The man burst into tears and said, "I don't know, I really don't know!"
"Oh! Then all I can say is sorry!" the Clown Sith raised his hand, as if to shoot his death snap, the Han man rushed from his seat, he grabbed the Clown Sith's leg, and cried bitterly, "Please let me go, I am willing to do anything for you.... Please, I don't want to die yet!"
The Clown Sith smiled at Cheng Mo, then looked down at the man holding his leg and said, "Oh my God! I'm a little embarrassed by your piety, or else, if you can throw your girlfriend off the train and prove that you're a brave person who can give up morality, I might be able to consider giving you a chance." β
The man hugged the Clown's Sith's legs, his body trembling like chaff, and his voice trembled, "No, don't..... Except for this thing....."
The Joker Sith interrupted him impatiently, "Don't, don't delay my time, you have to be decisive, if you want to be as indecisive as this child, I might as well send you to God now..... Give you ten seconds to decide...."
After a pause, the clown Sith said in an extremely seductive voice: "If you do it well, maybe I, as the messenger of Satan, will give you immortal power from the devil.....! What you can get at that time, you can imagine for yourself..."
The man stood up trembling in tears, and he staggered towards his girlfriend, unconsciously repeating "I don't want to die!"
The clown Sith spread his hands at Cheng Mo, "Look..... This is human nature, the so-called morality and rules are just a mask that people wear on their faces, and once they face death, they will show their true faces underneath..."
Then the clown Sith glanced left and right again, put one hand to his mouth, bowed over and whispered to Cheng Mo as if whispering: "Don't look at the people next to him who disdain his behavior, in fact, they are the same, it is obvious that their hearts don't care about those innocent people, nor do they care about your win or loss, the real backbone people are all dead in front..."
The Clown Sith straightened up: "Neither the bystanders nor the superior don't care about the fate of the chess pieces..... I wonder if you want to be a pawn on a chessboard, or do you want to be a standard-bearer who can decide the fate of others, as you are now?"
Cheng Mo didn't speak, and he didn't look back at the Han Guoren who grabbed his girlfriend's neck, no one around him spoke, Mingzhe was the most rational way to protect himself, even if it would be their turn the next moment, he could breathe for a while.
In the cold wind and the cold sun, only the hoarse screams of the women of the Han Kingdom.
"That's enough!" Suddenly a voice rang out, the calm voice of Napoleon VII, and he said coldly, "Maurice go and throw that Han man out....."
As soon as Napoleon VII's words fell, Maurice appeared beside the Han man, and casually threw the Han man out of the carriage like garbage, and the man flew in the air like a doll.
The Clown Sith laughed "haha", he pointed to Napoleon VII and said: "A coward still pretends to be a messenger of justice?
Napoleon VII sneered: "Who am I, it's not your turn to be judged by this clown, I will repay you a hundred times the pain they have suffered." β
"You're much better at telling jokes than I am, and it seems that you're better suited to be a comedian than I am....." After saying that, the clown Sith knocked out one of Cheng Mo's elephants with a cannon representing Evans, leaving him with a barrier missing in front of his king, "silent, I'm going to be a general next, eat others, or be eaten by others?" But if you take a closer look, is there any way back for you? Everything exists only in the rules invented by us, in fact, this world exists outside the common imagination of human beings, and if you break the rules, you will find that in this world, there is no God, no country, no wealth, no law, no rights, and no justice..... Confusion and nothingness are the truth. β
The clown Sith pointed at Cheng Mo and said, "You and others, you can only choose one of them!"
Cheng Mo closed his eyes and used the queen to eat the car representing Mr. Evans, and the desperate cries and shouts of Mr. Evans and Mrs. Evans came from his left side, Cheng Mo wished that he was the carrier at this moment, so that he could block his hearing, but unfortunately he was just himself at this moment.
The Clown Sith chuckled at first, then laughed louder and louder, more and more presumptuous, and the whole carriage and the sky echoed with his happy hearty laughter, he raised his head to look at Cheng Mo, as if he had seen a very funny joke, "Hmm! Hah! Hah! It seems that you have made your choice! Yes, that's it, that's it, close your eyes and go into the darkness..... To become a king, it is much easier to fall than to fly..... To become a king, one must throw aside the moral order .... When you really do it and defy everything, you can not only become king..... You can also become a god....."
Cheng Mo listened to the crazy laughter of the clown Sith and the sad cry of the Evans family, and began to envy Xie Minyun, sometimes it is a happy thing to be able to escape, he thought of Sisyphus, probably Sisyphus felt the most in the face of the world, maybe it was so isolated and helpless at the moment.
Taking on responsibilities that should not have been shouldered, shouldering a meaningless world, and embarking on a ridiculous and endless path.
But every person in this world, how can it be Sisyphus, as it is said in "The Myth of Sisyphus": "Wake up, the tram, four hours of office or factory work, eat, the tram, four hours of work, eat, sleep, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, most of the days go by at the same rhythm day after day." β
Everyone is miserable.
Everyone carries a part of the weight of this world, and in a similar way does things that have no meaning and no effect on themselves, life is a ridiculous game, but most people understand that the gold he earns, the equipment, the tasks he completes, and the names he gets are meaningless.
The existentialist thinker Camus once said, "It seems to me nothing more stupid than dying on the road".
So in January of 1960, Camus was sitting in a car, and due to the slippery rain, the car crashed into a tree on the side of the road, Camus was thrown into the back window, his head was pierced through the glass, his skull was broken, his neck was broken, and he died on the spot. The god of fate let him die in a car accident.
It is a bitter philosophical irony that an existentialist thinker who has been fighting the absurdity of existence should die in what he calls the stupidest car accident.
How ridiculous the world is!
"Don't you look back at your friend, he didn't even have time to say goodbye to his child!" the Clown Sith looked at Cheng Mo as if he was about to burst into tears, and Mr. Evans was struggling in his chair, as if he had been strangled by his throat and couldn't breathe.
Sith the Clown once again brought the pawn representing Mrs. Evans to a position where Cheng Mo's rook could eat, "Come, come, go on, the little girl is next! His body trembled slightly, the hem of his tuxedo fluttering in the wind, and his mask glowing slightly harshly in the sunlight.
Obviously, he is about to get excited to an extreme, only a few steps away, and when Cheng Mo eats the son representing the little girl Rebecca and Xie Minyun and wins, he will reach the climax!
However, Cheng Mo did not eat the elephant representing Mrs. Evans, he jumped his horse in front of the empress, forming a strange position, his empress was trapped in the middle by himself, unable to move, and then he would have no children to move, and then he looked at the clown Sith opposite and said lightly: "If you don't eat my son next, I will have no children to move, then the result is that you can't win, I can't win, it will be a draw, so do you eat or not?"
The people in the carriage saw the magical chess game in the air, and still broke out in incredible exclamations in such a terrifying atmosphere.
The Clown Sith looked at the strange endgame in front of him, and his body was completely frozen!
