Global Games: Old Chess Players

Chapter 148 "I once told you that once your talents are used for evil purposes, it will be a disaster for mankind."

January 20, Tokyo Cinema, men’s room.

The movie was being shown, and only two figures could be seen in the toilet - Ansenlu and Qi Yuanliu, who were leaning against the wall of the toilet, talking softly.

"Lu Jun." Qi Yuanlu raised his eyebrows and stroked his lips with his slender fingers, "You mean that the principal actually used the sequence power of the old chess player to return to you from the future."

"That's true. Otherwise, with your connections, how could you not find out his identity?" Ansonlu said.

"So, Shika-kun..." Ritsu Urushihara thought for a moment: "The principal said that he left three chess pieces for you. Could these three chess pieces refer to Miss Yuri, Miss Asuka Uesugi, and another person?

"

"No, you misunderstood." Ansenlu explained: "The three chess pieces he left for me refer to the 'Salvation Team' chess set. I only have one of them now, which is this chess piece."

As he spoke, he summoned the blue bird of the future in his heart.

The bluebird of the future flew out of the data black hole on the ceiling, scattering blue fluorescence.

"It's called Future Blue Bird." Ansonlu opened the chess type panel of Future Blue Bird, stretched out his finger, dragged it to the line [Introduction to chess types], and turned the panel to Crow.

Qi Yuanlu raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the chess board.

[Chess type description:

This is a bluebird from the future.

In the future, the blue bird witnessed the destruction of the human world, and witnessed the white dragon destroying nature and destroying the homes of animals. It came with the despair of its broken home, but it spread the flower seeds of hope to mankind.]

[Belonging to the chess group: ‘Salvation Team’ chess group]

[Chess set note 1: The chess set has a total of three chess types, and the level of each chess type is not lower than the legendary level, making it extremely difficult to obtain. 】

[Chess set note 2: This is a late-stage chess set. If old chess players put together this chess set, they will gain the power of transformation. 】

"So that's it." Qi Yuanlu suddenly realized, "The principal's intention is for you to collect this chess set called the 'Salvation Team'. How to get the other two chess pieces is the key."

"That's right." Ansonlu shrugged, "I think the remaining two chess pieces should be at least Crimson Tide level or higher, otherwise they won't have the power to reverse the outcome."

"I remember that according to the quality ranking of chess players in the past, the only ones above the legendary level were Crimson Tide, Black Moon, and Final Level." Qi Yuanlu said.

"You have to upgrade it before you can draw it, but it seems that the ultimate level cannot be extracted from the card pack. It must be made with chess type crafting rolls. If the remaining two chess pieces in the chess set are of the final level, it will be a bit of a headache.

"

"No matter what, this is not something that should be considered at this stage. Mr. Lu, you just need to take it step by step and raise your level."

"Oh, by the way, there's something I have to tell you."

"What?"

"In the principal's timeline, you died."

Urushihara put his hand on his chin and said lightly: "This is not a strange thing. If I don't die, I won't let you go alone, Mr. Lu..."

Anson Deer interrupted him, "No, I mean, you died at the beginning, the first round of copy."

Qi Yuanlu raised his eyebrows, "With my ability, would I actually die in the first round of the dungeon?"

"You didn't die at the hands of a monster."

"That's..."

"I killed you." Anson Deer whispered.

A hint of surprise flashed across Urushi Yuanlu's deep eyes, and the dull lights of the cinema flickered on and off, illuminating his bewildered silhouette.

He thought for a moment, "Lu Jun, in the previous timeline, you killed me with your own hands?"

"Yes, I was such a person at that time." An Senlu said calmly: "I say this to make it easier for you to understand the logic of the principal's actions."

"Yeah, that's a bit beyond my expectation." Qi Yuanlu said: "Under normal circumstances, with my negotiation skills, even if the negotiation fails, I will leave a way out for myself."

"Yes, with your ability, even if you can't win the principal's trust, you won't be killed by him."

Ansonlu paused and then said: "So, my guess is that the principal and you did reach a cooperation at the beginning, and he wiped you out of the copy after squeezing out your role."

"Although the result is unbelievable." After a pause, Qi Yuanlu said: "But this is the only possibility."

A brief silence enveloped the two of them.

There was a vibration in the Imax theater not far away, which was the special effects sound of the movie "Avatar 2: Water Path".

After lunch, the five of them fought to the death over the movie they wanted to watch. In the end, after everyone's discussion, the right to choose the movie came into the hands of a sixth person, the "Alien Dimensional Kangaroo."

Anson Deer would be happy, and directly ordered the kangaroo in his heart to choose Doraemon Movie.

What was unexpected was that the alien kangaroo scanned the movies that were being released and chose the movie "Avatar" after careful consideration. Anson Deer looked hopeless at that time and asked Sheriff Kangaroo in disbelief why.

In the end, the kangaroo solemnly stated the reason - this movie has a positive role in urging the protection of the ecological environment. It patted Anson Deer on the shoulder and asked Anson Deer to learn lessons from the movie and improve his citizen quality.

"The principal at the beginning was probably not a good person."

Anson looked at the ceiling and said slowly: "According to his description, maybe at the very beginning of the evolutionary game, he didn't even think about saving the world or saving mankind. At that time, he was just a person who used the power around him to

All of them are monsters who will try their best to climb up."

"Maybe I have some anti-social tendencies. After all, without the principal here, after that death chess game, I might have been cursed, scolded, and personally attacked by all the students in the school." Ansonlu said:

"I think about it now. I obviously did something too extreme at that time. I chose to abandon chess and let those familiar people have their heads cut open and cut in half in front of them. But afterwards, those students were very angry with me.

His attitude is unexpectedly kind, and there must be some reason why the principal is secretly manipulating him."

After two seconds of silence, he continued: "However, in order to make me less suspicious, he also left a normal person to confuse my view and make me think that all this is not so abnormal."

"Xiong Haodong." Qi Yuanlu said without thinking.

Rather, this is not a question that needs to be thought about at all.

"Yes, Xiong Haodong." An Senlu raised his head and said slowly: "It is the existence of Xiong Haodong that makes me feel that those students are not so abnormal. Think about it for a moment, I am the world's first serial profession, but those students are crazy

There is absolutely nothing like jealousy or envy in pursuing me. If it were a normal situation, someone would have used that death chess game to criticize me."

"In the original timeline, no one protected the principal at all. He was the target of public criticism from the very beginning. With my character at that time, it is not surprising that I would evolve into a selfish lone wolf."

"So." Ritsu Urushihara put his hand on his chin, "Shika-kun, according to you, in the second half of the evolution game, the principal began to gradually change. At the beginning, he was just a pure evil person?"

"Yes, but by the time he wakes up, it's already too late." Ansonlu said mockingly: "In the first half of the evolutionary game, Lorenzo, Yuliu, and you all died in the hands of the principal.

Without Lorenzo's leadership, no one on the law enforcement team is in charge of the overall situation, and most of those elite players are almost dead."

"So, he was the only one left in the end." Urushihara said quietly.

"Yes, he could only make mistakes and try to defeat the snow dragon by himself, but he failed." Anson Deer smiled mockingly:

"It wasn't until the world was destroyed that he realized that he alone couldn't win. So, he returned to the present and tried his best to pave the way for me and avoid the mistakes he made before."

With a long sigh, he whispered:

"Anyway, I don't know how many times the principal has traveled back in time. He has an almost perfect grasp of my psychology. He first spent three months weakening my guard and gaining my trust.

Then, let me be led by him unknowingly, and finally, change me...or himself, into a completely different person, so that I can get along and cooperate with you."

Qi Yuanlu lowered his head and thought, thoughts flowing in his deep eyes.

After a while, he said: "I see... Although the situation is very complicated, by now, my confusion has basically been solved, Mr. Lu, but I still have one question."

"What's the question?" Anson Deer asked.

"After the first round of dungeons ended, I heard some news in the underground world of Japan. Those people said that the evolution game started a long time ago." Urushihara Ritsu said: "And there are clues that can confirm this.

…The Jack the Ripper incident in London, England, in 1888, and the sinking of the Titanic in the Atlantic Ocean in 1912.”

Anson Deer knew the causes and consequences of the Titanic sinking in 1912.

This was a tragedy caused by the principal alone. If the principal had not used the power of chess to teleport Snow Dragon to the Atlantic Ocean in 1912 during the World Boss battle half a year later.

Then, the Titanic would not have hit the iceberg, and the people on the ship would still be alive.

But what about the Jack the Ripper incident?

Could this infamous serial murderer incident be related to the evolution game?

Ansonlu was suddenly stunned for a moment.

He thought of the bottle of old wine that was produced in London in 1888 that he found in the principal's office - 1888, London...the same year and exactly the same place as the Jack the Ripper incident.

"I've already guessed the origin of the Jack the Ripper incident. It's probably related to the principal, because he took a bottle of wine from London in 1888 and kept it in the principal's office." Urushihara said unhurriedly:

"As for the Titanic incident, I can't figure it out, because even if I investigate it with all my strength, there are still not many clues left for me. Most of the survivors back then are already dead."

Anson Deer was not in a hurry to explain:

"Crow, please tell me first the clues you have about the Jack the Ripper incident."

Rather than explaining the events of 1912, he wanted to clarify his own question first - what did the principal do in London in 1888?

"At that time, Jack the Ripper killed three prostitutes in London and became a world-famous serial murderer. However, the appearance of a yellow man stopped Jack the Ripper's evil deeds in an alley, leaving the

The murderer has since disappeared."

Having said this, Qi Yuanlu put his hands behind his windbreaker and told with great interest:

"After the death of the Ripper, the police could not trace any clues and could not even find Jack's body. However, according to the rumors of some private eyewitnesses, someone saw the old man from the Eastern Kingdom appearing out of thin air in an alley.

Summoned a noble stone statue holding a dagger, and controlled the strange stone statue to kill Jack the Ripper."

Ansonlu was stunned, "You mean... the principal called out the stone statue of the Queen and wiped out Jack the Ripper with a knife?"

"That's right." Qi Yuanlu nodded, "If this was just a rumor originally, then after hearing what you said about it, Mr. Lu, I am completely convinced that this is what the principal did."

"But why does the principal do these things?"

"I don't know about that." Ritsu Urushihara paused and speculated: "Perhaps he traveled to the wrong timeline and happened to encounter Jack the Ripper who was committing murder, so he took action to solve it?"

"It's quite possible." Ansonlu put his hands into his pockets and said calmly: "After all, that old man should have traveled through time many times, and something will always go wrong one time."

"And, there is one more thing worth mentioning..." Qi Yuanlu said suddenly.

"What's up?"

"It is said that there are three prostitutes who have just turned eighteen years old on Jack the Ripper's assassination list. If the principal had not taken action, then with Jack the Ripper's methods, these three prostitutes would probably die."

An Senlu was startled: "In other words, this incident also affects the future?"

"Yes, although the prostitutes in London were relatively short-lived at that time, it would affect the future to some extent." Qi Yuanliu said.

"There are still three prostitutes who are still alive..." An Senlu put his hand on his chin, his eyes flowing: "Besides, these three prostitutes have just turned eighteen? What the hell is going on."

etc……

Anson Deer suddenly came into contact with an important matter.

"Lu-kun, it shouldn't be difficult to guess." Urushihara said calmly: "Those three prostitutes who just turned eighteen are obviously related to another thing the principal did."

"The three patients with Ankache Syndrome will all die after reaching the age of eighteen." Anson Deer took a breath of cold air.

"Yes, the following is my guess, Mr. Lu." Qi Yuanlu said slowly: "The principal's response to the Jack the Ripper incident may have violated 'certain rules' unintentionally."

"rule……"

"Those three prostitutes who had just turned eighteen were supposed to die, but they survived." Urushihara Ritsu said quietly: "So, after the principal returns to the modern timeline, he needs to do something to make up for this.

Loophole - and in this case, he used some kind of power to cause the three Icelandic girls to suffer from Ankaches Syndrome, causing them to die after turning eighteen without exception."

Ansenlu was silent for a long time, holding his chin with his hand, and said slowly: "I still don't understand. Wouldn't this have a greater impact on the future?"

"I don't know, all the answers lie in that chess piece." Qi Yuanlu said.

"That... chess piece used by the principal to travel through time."

"Well, as long as you obtain the chess piece that can be used for time travel in the future and understand the rules, all problems should be solved."

"I can't wait until that time. It's simply inexplicable because he accidentally killed Jack the Ripper in London in 1888, resulting in the survival of three prostitutes who should not have been alive." Anson Deer said: "So, therefore,

Why should those three completely unrelated Icelandic girls redeem the consequences..."

Dark strands of hair obscured his eyes. Anson had countless thoughts and conjectures, just like a ball of wool falling to the ground, rolling continuously and spreading out into thousands of lines.

He tried to rationalize the principal's behavior in his mind...

But he couldn't do it, not at all...

This piece of the puzzle is not clear enough.

Only if he owns the chess piece that travels through time and understands the rules and constraints that the principal faces, can he understand why the principal would do this?

However, one thing is certain.

If we say that the symptoms of the three Icelandic girls are really related to the mistakes made by the principal in London in 1888.

Then, they are simply scapegoats, three scapegoats randomly selected by the principal, and their castrated lives are only used by the principal to offset the "punishment caused by crossing the rules."

If this was really the case, then Ansonlu couldn't accept it from the bottom of his heart - Yuri's death was just a tragedy caused by the principal in order to get rid of the consequences of crossing the rules.

"Currently, we don't need to think deeply about this matter." Qi Yuanliu said: "Without understanding the time chess piece, it's just annoying to think too much about the logic behind the principal's actions."

After a pause, he continued: "The mystery behind Ankache Syndrome will be revealed naturally as long as you get the time piece."

Ansenlu was silent for two seconds and said calmly: "I just hope that after getting the truth... the old principal's motive for doing this will not be so disgusting that it makes me want to vomit."

"If the principal had completely woken up after losing the battle in Tokyo, then there is no way he would have asked three innocent girls to bear the consequences of a series of mistakes for him." Urushihara shrugged, meaning

profound.

"Well, let's forget about it for now." Ansonlu let out a long sigh of relief.

At this time, the mobile phone in his pocket vibrated and a message alert sounded.

Ansenlu took out his mobile phone and glanced at the screen. It was a message from Asuka Uesugi.

[Asuka: Where did you and Crow go? The movie is already halfway through! Did you come to Tokyo to watch a movie, or did you come to use the restroom?!]

I don't know why, but when I think of Asuka's face, my heavy heart eases a lot.

Ansonlu stretched out his finger, typed a line of text, and clicked reply.

【Anson Deer: Be right back.】

"The movie is still playing, we should go." Qi Yuanlu unscrewed the lid and took a sip of the drink.

Ansonlu put away his mobile phone and walked out of the toilet slowly, "Let's go, Crow, there is still a long way to go."

Qi Yuanliu followed him and said quietly: "Speaking of which, Mr. Lu, the facts so far should completely prove that my guess about you is correct."

The two walked into the corridor of the cinema. Cinema No. 5 was right in front of them. On the wall were promotional posters for the movie that was currently scheduled. Anson turned his cheek and took a second look at the promotional poster for the movie "The Lovers of Time".

.

"What guess?" Ansonlu asked absently.

"I once told you that once your talents are used for evil purposes, it will be a disaster for mankind." Urushihara said deeply:

"The principal's experience just proves this point."

In the previous timeline, Urushihara Ritsu, Lorenzo and Yuriu, almost all the world's most powerful men, died at the hands of the principal. Anson Lu was indeed powerless to refute this statement.

"You are right, but I will not repeat the same mistake as him." When Ansonlu said this, a flash of light flashed in his dark brown eyes, and his voice gradually became darker:

"Absolutely... not."
