Global Games: Old Chess Players

Chapter 128 "It's true, I haven't beaten you in a game of chess."

[Email name: Happy 18th birthday, Anson Deer.]

"Happy birthday..." Ansondeer stared at the email and murmured.

Birthday?

Oh, it turns out today is my birthday, how come this old man remembers it better than me...

He clicked into the email and looked at the displayed text.

[Content of the email: I don’t have much time left... I think that with your ability, you should have guessed my identity, and your intuition will also help you judge and sort out the clues I left, so I won’t

Will explain more.]

[There has only been one "old-time chess player" in history, and that is you and me. 】

Anson's fingers trembled slightly, he pursed his lips, and then turned down.

"It's really weird that you kept it secret from me for so long."

[I apologize for what happened to Yuri, but to be honest, I don’t think I did anything wrong, because in the future, including Yuri, the three girls in Iceland will all die in the evolution game...]

[The same goes for Asuka Uesugi. If she does not have the blood of a dragon, she will die sooner or later due to her recklessness and sense of justice. 】

[Limited by some rules, I have to sacrifice some people and pay some prices to give you a better chance of winning, and to balance your extremely indifferent character to prevent you from going down the same old path as me.]

[I have fought alone all my life, and in these decades I have only chess pieces to accompany me.]

[Do you know... Crow also approached me, but I never trusted him. After using him, I killed him in the copy. That was the biggest mistake I have ever made in my life. 】

[The existence of the crow is very important...perhaps, he is also a person who can influence the world.]

[The people around you now, whether it is Lorenzo or Iulius, they all died before my eyes.]

[Because of this, I regarded everyone as a burden and insisted on going my own way. I failed... I failed completely. The weight of billions of human lives cannot be carried by one person. 】

[You are different from me, I am not sure whether you can succeed...]

【But...at least take my share and live well.】

The email is crossed to the end.

No matter how I swipe, I can't draw new text.

There is only one circle, spinning... and spinning... and spinning.

Turning annoyingly.

"It's so annoying..."

"What the hell are you talking about..."

"Why do you keep mentioning these boring things..."

"Didn't we agree..." An Senlu's eyes were covered by strands of hair and his voice was hoarse, "Didn't we agree that we would like to play chess together in the future?"

He stayed there for a long time, moved his finger, and scrolled up the text message interface. There were many messages that the two of them had talked about in the past few months.

"Classmate, what's your name?"

"Anson Deer, right? Come, play a game of chess with me, and if you win, you will be admitted to school."

"Interesting, it seems that I practice a lot."

"Ansen Lu, do you feel lonely? It seems that you don't make many friends at school. It would be a good thing to make more friends."

"Study hard, but don't forget about playing chess."

"From now on, come and play two games of chess with me at noon every day after dinner. This is the principal's order."

"…………"

"…………"

"Come on, Anson Deer, let's play chess."

"Come, play chess and have some tea."

"Have you finished eating? Let's play chess."

"It's time to play chess, brat. Why are you standing in the corridor?"

"Pulled to stand? Which teacher made you stand to be punished and asked him to come to my office to drink tea and watch you play chess with me."

"This is Blue Mountain coffee, imported from abroad and produced in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. The higher the altitude, the more expensive it is."

"You brat, it must be a fake. I think you just don't know how to appreciate it."

"Okay, okay, don't look like this. Let's just drink tea. I'll buy some good coffee next time."

"…………"

"…………"

"Why do you like you so much?"

"I told you, you have talent. I'm mentioning it to you so that you can live a better life than me. When you achieve great results in the future, we can continue to play chess in this shabby place and reminisce about old times.

.”

"You are so spineless. You are only seventeen years old and you are saying depressing words here."

"…………"

"…………"

"I really haven't beaten you in a game of chess. Well...I'm relieved now. The path you want to take is indeed different from mine."

"I have lived for so many years, and there is only one thing I can teach you. Sometimes people should not be too paranoid. If you only have goals in your eyes, and you keep walking, you will be alone."

"…………"

"…………"

"I am a failure. I have spent my whole life without accomplishing anything. I have also lost the people around me. Before I know it, my hair is gray. In the end... I can only stay in this small place and drink.

Live with tea.”

"You brat, I don't want you to comfort me, I don't want you to follow my old path."

"…………"

"...

"Something happened today."

"Busy, let's do it another day."

"I have something to do today."

"You brat, don't stick to me all the time. Don't you still have friends with you?"

"Hey, what's the hurry? There's plenty of time. Let's do it next time."

"…………"

"…………"

"Is your birthday coming soon?"

"What? I have never received a blessing text message in my life... Okay, then I, an old man, will reluctantly be your first one."

"…………"

"…………"

"You are already an adult and you have to shoulder your responsibilities."

"Happy 18th birthday, Anson Deer."

"Principal, this is my birthday..." Ansenlu laughed to himself, "I am not happy at all."

He leaned on the back of the bed, raised his head, and stared at the empty ceiling for a long time.

After a long time, Ansonlu put down his cell phone. He walked slowly to the bathroom like a kite with its string broken, turned on the faucet, and the hot bath water gradually filled the bathtub.

He took off his clothes and sunk into the bathtub tiredly.

Half of the cheek was gradually immersed in the water, and bubbles popped up.

The rotten spirit was soaked in hot water, and the tight defense lines collapsed layer by layer.

Thoughts gradually become blurred.

Anson Deer's mood was very complicated.

He has liked playing chess with himself since he was a child. When he grew up, he thought he had found someone who was willing to play chess with him all the time... but it turned out that this person was still 'himself'.

It seems like nothing has changed, it seems like everything has changed again.

What remains unchanged is that no one will understand him, only he will understand himself.

What changed was that he began to feel a little lost.

"My heart is empty...so that's what you said, Yuri."

The young man lowered his eyes, and the brown color in his pupils had never been so dim, like extinguished firelight. He quietly stared at the soaked and wrinkled palms and smiled softly.

"Please, my life is already messy enough, and I have to mix it up like this again..." Ansonlu murmured softly, "It seems that I haven't experienced such a feeling for a long time..."

"Can't you just stay with me and talk to me before we leave, you stinky old man."

After a long time, he moved his face and looked at Tokyo at night through the window with raindrops falling. The thousands of neon lights in the city gradually dimmed, and there was a drizzle of light rain in the sky. There were several figures walking on the long street, their faces

The back view is like a slow motion, getting longer and longer, slowly moving away.

Only the Tokyo Sky Tree standing in the city center is still shining brightly.

Ansonlu moved his lips and said softly:

"Good night, principal."
