Global Games: Old Chess Players

Chapter 95 Vibrant Lightning Sphinx

[The extradimensional kangaroo has extracted future equipment from the extradimensional pocket. 】

The extradimensional kangaroo stretched out his hands and took out a good thing from its pouch - it was a pair of chimeric mechanical wings with a sense of technology. Mr. Kangaroo immediately put the mechanical wings on his shoulders.

"What a great draw, the crow is possessed!" Anson opened his eyes wide.

The next second, the pair of mechanical wings fit smoothly on the kangaroo's shoulders, and the metallic bird wings quickly extended to both sides.

Anson Deer suddenly grabbed the extra-dimensional kangaroo's neck. He knew what would happen next, and he was already panicking. "Please, don't throw me away like a floating shark!"

At this time, the alien kangaroo read out a string of inexplicably funny words in English:

"Speed ​​Up!"

As the words fell, deep blue flames burst out from an 'air vent' behind the two pairs of mechanical wings.

"Bang!"

Driven by the flames, the mechanical wings propelled the extradimensional kangaroo into the air, and it shuttled towards the end of the passage like an aurora.

"Fuck!"

The Anson deer's cheeks were squeezed out of shape, and its hair was blown back, turning it into a slicked back.

At the same time, the extra-dimensional kangaroo has also opened a long distance away from the chainsaw Mickey Mouse - the speed of the extra-dimensional kangaroo equipped with mechanical wings cannot be compared to that of the floating crazy shark.

However, if it is an alien kangaroo under normal conditions, its speed will definitely not be as fast as that of a floating shark.

After all, the floating shark has a full 40 points of agility, while the extradimensional kangaroo only has 25 points. The 15-point gap is a huge gap that cannot be crossed.

100 meters!

300 meters!

500 meters!

700 meters!

In just 8 seconds, the kangaroo equipped with chimeric mechanical wings led the Anson deer across a distance of nearly several hundred meters, but at this moment, a system prompt sounded.

[Due to future police officer No. 539, the extradimensional kangaroo, who has not paid the technology update fee for a long time, the chimeric mechanical wing can only be used for 10 seconds, with 2 seconds left.]

"No, you're too short?!" Ansonlu's eyes twitched.

"Jie Jie Jie!!!"

Accompanied by a burst of ferocious laughter, the muscular chainsaw man version of Mickey Mouse chased closer and closer.

Its running speed has increased with a terrifying trend - if it was still at the level of a normal person before, it is now far beyond the world champion!

[The use time of the chimeric mechanical wing has expired.]

The system beep fell, and the mechanical wings were automatically untied from the extra-dimensional kangaroo's shoulders and bounced back into its extra-dimensional pocket. The kangaroo also landed with the Anson deer on its back, making a dull sound.

"Bang!"

After the kangaroo landed, it still ran towards the other end of the passage.

According to this progress, even if you use the mechanical wings to open up a lot of distance, you will still be caught up by Mickey Mouse, the chainsaw man!

However, Anson Deer had already prepared his trump card - in the fish tank he was holding tightly, dark blue electric arcs were beating wildly like pythons!

[After 24 seconds of power accumulation, the jellyfish in the tank has accumulated a lot of power. It can use ‘vital lightning’ to enhance the overall attributes of the friendly chess type and restore the health of the chess type. 】

Not only that, but inside the extradimensional kangaroo's pouch - a beast quietly took shape.

[After 24 seconds of growth, the floating fish in the tank has transformed into a floating shark. It is in the pocket of the extradimensional kangaroo, waiting for the opportunity to escape! 】

"The extradimensional kangaroo, release the floating shark!" Anson Deer said, "The jellyfish in the tank, use all the electricity accumulated to use the skill - Vitality Lightning on the floating shark!"

"roar!!!"

The next moment, a jet-black stream of light burst out from the extra-dimensional kangaroo's pocket and surged into the sky to reveal its true form - it was a huge jet-black mad shark, with water foam splashing on its sharp fangs.

At this moment, in the fish tank that Anson Deer was hugging, the pink jellyfish gathered all the arcs under the water to the surface of its body.

"Zizzizi——"

Then, a strong dark blue electric light burst out from the body of the jellyfish and shot straight towards the body of the floating shark!

[With the addition of vitality lightning, the attributes of the chess type 'Floating Shark' have been improved - strength 40 → 48 points, agility 40 → 48 points, intelligence: 0 → 8 points. 】

"Electricity is accumulated every 6 seconds, and each time of electricity can add 2 points of comprehensive attributes, so 24 seconds is 8 points of comprehensive attributes," Ansenlu said with some surprise:

"Then if you gather enough electricity for 60 seconds, you can increase your attributes by 20 points!"

As long as the electricity can be fully accumulated, it can increase the attributes by 20 points, which is already many times that of Little V. Moreover, Little V can only add one attribute, and the jellyfish in the tank will be fully added.

However, it takes a long time for the jellyfish in the tank to accumulate electricity.

The small V is not needed, and the small V can not only increase the attributes of the chess type, but can also be attached to the weapon to increase its power.

Each has its own merits.

At this moment, a violent jet-black electric arc surged from the surface of the floating shark. It was like a black electric eel, exuding a terrifying sense of power!

"Go ahead, jellyfish in the tank!"

Anson Deer did not hesitate to throw the "jellyfish in the tank" towards the chainsaw Mickey Mouse, then jumped high from the back of the alien kangaroo and transferred to the floating shark!

"Bang!"

Mickey Mouse, who was covered in muscles, grinned and used a chainsaw to cut open the fish tank. The jellyfish in the tank died tragically.

Now that the vitality lightning has been injected into the floating shark, the Anson deer doesn't care about the life or death of the jellyfish in the tank.

Moreover, the extradimensional kangaroo can also make a heroic sacrifice at this time.

However, considering that the 'jellyfish in the tank' does not have a favorability system, while the alien kangaroo has a favorability system, Anson Deer made a wise choice.

"Extradimensional Kangaroo, I'll leave my back to you, you must survive!"

The Anson Deer who said this, rode the strengthened floating shark and drove away.

With the running speed of an extradimensional kangaroo, it simply cannot keep up with the floating mad shark, which has a terrifying agility of 48 points.

"Gaba!"

The next second, the extradimensional kangaroo was also killed by Mickey Mouse's chainsaw.

"Floating Shark, faster!"

Anson Deer tightly grasped the dorsal fin of the floating shark and ordered like this.

"roar!!!"

The floating mad shark roared low and shuttled through the channel like a gray stream of light - in just 20 seconds, it brought Anson Deer to the end of the channel.

At this moment, a cold, dark metal door blocked Anson Lu's eyes.

"Floating Crazy Shark, aim at the metal door and use the skill - Spiral Pierce!" Anson Deer dropped from the floating Crazy Shark's back and ordered in mid-air.

However, the floating shark did not carry out his instructions.

[This metal door cannot be destroyed and cannot be selected as the release target of skills - only by solving the two puzzles of the metal door and entering the correct answers on the two code locks will the metal door open! 】

Listening to the system prompts, Ansonlu's jaw almost dropped to the ground, and he murmured in shock:

"Your sister is both a runner and a puzzle solver. This crappy game doesn't expect me to unlock the password within 10 seconds. It's too outrageous!"

Behind him, the violent sound of the chainsaw turning was getting closer and closer, as if death was approaching with a sickle, and the beating frequency of Anson's deer's heart increased slightly.

"Floating Shark, help me go back and stop that monster!"

After the cruel order was given, he separated from the floating mad shark, and the two walked in different directions. Anson Deer took a deep breath and looked at the two puzzles engraved on the metal door.

Two minutes ago, the first control room.

In the cold and dark monitoring room, Asuka Uesugi, Ritsu Urushihara, and Chu Qimo were standing next to the metal door, each guessing the answer to the puzzle on the door.

Yuri, on the other hand, raised his head and stared at the surveillance screen.

On the surveillance screen, there are two identical dark passages, like two mirrors reflecting each other.

In the second dark passage.

——At the beginning of the game, Cosimo modified his limbs and back with cyber technology, installed powerful mechanical prosthetics, and rushed out at a terrifying speed, throwing away the chainsaw Mickey Mouse.

.

And in the first dark passage.

——Anson Deer summoned the chess field and hurriedly performed a series of operations before he could barely throw away the chainsaw Mickey Mouse.

However, Yuri knew clearly in his heart: This man had always been at ease, and most of his panic reactions were disguised. He might have never been in a panic.

For now, Cosimo's speed and progress are far ahead of Anson's deer.

However, Anson Deer still has options.

After using the "Chimeric Mechanical Wings" and "Floating Shark" one after another, Anson Deer shuttled through the passage at a terrifying speed, even reaching the metal door at the end faster than Cosimo.

He was waiting for the metal door to open.

[The first puzzle: four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening (guess one thing)]

"Huh?" Uesugi Asuka put her hand on her chin and said in a disdainful voice: "The answer to the first question, isn't it very simple? Can even a primary school student know it?"

"Yes, the first question is not difficult." Qi Yuanlu said calmly:

"The origin of this question is the famous riddle of the Sphinx in "Oedipus the King", and the answer is 'human beings'.

In the morning of life, a human being is just a child and needs to use two legs and two hands to crawl, so he has four legs; at noon of life, when he enters his prime, he only uses two legs to walk.

Towards the end of his life, he became old and frail and had to use crutches to walk, so he was called three-legged."

"This kind of primary school riddle doesn't need any explanation."

As Asuka Uesugi said, she stretched out her white fingers and pressed the five English letters - HUMAN (human being) on ​​the keyboard of the first electronic lock.

"bite--"

The interface of the password lock turns green, indicating that the first password lock has been unlocked.

[The second puzzle: two legs in the morning, four legs at noon, and three legs in the evening (guess a person’s name)]

"Then the most important thing is where to start with the second question." Qi Yuanlu's finger crossed his lips, "Guess a person's name? This would be a bit difficult."

Yuri looked away from the surveillance screen and said in a cold voice:

"Is it possible that the first question exists just to make you think about the second question towards "Oedipus King"?"

"I agree too." Chu Qimo echoed: "Obviously, the first question is just an appetizer, and it exists to guide the players to think about the second question in the direction of "Oedipus King".

"

"I have read this story, but I am not impressed by it." Asuka Uesugi turned around and asked:

"What about you?"

"I have a deep impression. I have been forced to learn these things since I was thirteen years old, and I can't forget them at all." Qi Yuanliu said as he closed his eyes and replayed "Oedipus the King" in his mind.

》The plot.

Chu Qimo looked at the surveillance screen and said deeply: "The president is about to be overtaken by a monster. We need to be faster."

After a long while, Qi Yuanlu slowly opened his deep eyes and said with great interest:

"I roughly understand it. This puzzle is quite interesting, if you start with this idea."

Uesugi Asuka held her forehead and said, "Then you enter it."

She began to understand why Ansonlu said he wanted to keep a distance from Urushihara. He was chased to death by chainsaw Mickey Mouse, and Urushihara was still here enjoying the puzzle game.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lu will find a way."

Qi Yuanlu raised the corners of his lips and explained unhurriedly:

“In his early years, Oedipus was an ordinary child, so he had two legs;

In middle age, after he killed his father and married his mother, he was reduced to an existence worse than a beast, so he had four legs;

In his later years, he self-destructed his eyes out of guilt and used crutches to form three legs."

"Two legs in the morning, four legs at noon, and three legs in old age. The answer to this question is" Qi Yuanliu slowly raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Oedipus himself."

"So that's it." Chu Qimo's eyes showed a hint of surprise. Qi Yuanlu's train of thought was something he had not expected at all.

Yuri passed by the three of them, stretched out his white fingers briskly, typed the six letters 'Odipus' on the second combination lock, and clicked 'Confirm'.

"bite--"

The color of the password lock interface changes from red to green, which means the puzzle is answered correctly.

"F*ck!" President Lu's voice came out.

Yuri took two steps back, and the next second, the metal door was knocked open by a young man with messy hair.

Ansonlu's eyes widened, he turned back sharply, and slammed the metal door with a "Bang!"

"Zila——"

The violent sound of the chainsaw turning gradually stopped after the door frame was closed.

[It was detected that the participating player ‘Anson Deer’ of Hell Beacon has reached the end of the passage and passed through the metal door. The first game has ended. The union ‘Hell Beacon’ took the lead to score a point. 】

[Session MVP is being awarded]

[MVP of the racing session - 1 minute and 33 seconds, Anson Deer (former chess player)]

[MVP of the puzzle session - 1 minute and 49 seconds, Urushihara Ritsu (The Gamblers of Crows)]

Everything returned to calm, and Anson Deer leaned on the back of the door, breathing heavily.

"Lord Lu, it's so dangerous." Qi Yuanlu smiled slightly.

"Haha, you have today too. To be honest, not seeing you being chopped down by a chainsaw will soon become my biggest regret in 2026." Asuka Uesugi raised the corners of her mouth and stretched out her hand proudly.

"2026 has just begun, and there are so many regrets left for you." Ansonlu took her hand, stood up slowly, took a deep breath, and cursed:

"Holy shit, you idiots are really spies sent by the law enforcement team! It took you so long to solve a primary school student's puzzle. I, really, was almost killed by that thing with a chainsaw, okay?!"
