Night’s Nomenclature Chapter 11: Farewell
The melody of the harmonica is very beautiful.
And the sound of the harmonica seemed to be mixed with an inexplicable rhythm, which was beyond ordinary music.
Just like last night, the nightmare gave Qingchen the same feeling.
But when all the prisoners were immersed in the beautiful music, Qingchen could not suppress the surprise and shock in his heart.
Because he has heard this song... Farewell.
Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, the green grass reaches the sky.
Qingchen’s pupils gradually shrank. Isn’t this the world after time travel? Why is there such a song as farewell?
The moment he saw mechanical civilization, he thought it had nothing to do with the earth.
But now it seems that he was wrong. Is this the future of the earth?
Qingchen began to search the memories in his mind, trying to find clues from the books in the reading area that he had written down yesterday.
But the result disappointed him again. Those chicken soups for the soul and philosophy could not help him.
The sound of the harmonica stopped, and there was noise again in Prison No. 18.
At a certain moment, Qingchen suddenly felt that this prison was like a colosseum.
What is closed behind the alloy gates are steel monsters representing various desires.
When the gate opened, he was no longer as nervous and vigilant as he was on the first day. Instead, he walked directly past the prisoners lined up and walked straight towards the square downstairs.
The unauthorized action did not attract the drones in the sky, nor did the machine guards look at him twice.
As soon as he arrived outside the restaurant, Lin Xiaoxiao greeted him with a smile: "Good morning... didn't you sleep?"
At this time, Qingchen had two dark circles under his eyes. He looked at Lin Xiaoxiao coldly and said to himself, "Can I sleep well? Don't you know?"
Some people say that a dream can last only eight minutes at most, which is extremely short compared to the entire life.
However, Qingchen counted his countdown after finishing the nightmare yesterday. The nightmare actually trapped him for more than two hours. He did not feel the passage of time at all in the nightmare.
Moreover, after escaping from the nightmare, he lay in bed and thought about the matter for a long time, and did not fall asleep until midnight.
Although Qingchen has the ability of photographic memory, he is still essentially an ordinary person. He is different from special people like Lin Xiaoxiao. There is no way he can stay up most of the night and still be active the next day.
Li Shutong glanced at Qingchen's face and said: "Most people will be severely weakened when they come out of a nightmare, and they will be sluggish for most of the day, but you are special. In the nightmare, you broke away from Xiaoxiao's control and picked up the dagger. Today It’s already amazing that you can still stand.”
Qingchen sat down opposite him and asked straight to the point: "How do you become someone like him?"
Li Shutong smiled: "You are straightforward, but you cannot follow his path. Instead, it is more suitable for you to follow my path."
As soon as these words came out, Qingchen clearly felt that the expressions of Ye Wan and Lin Xiaoxiao were strange.
For some reason, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little more serious, and even the napping cat raised its head to look at him.
He really wanted to ask Li Shutong what the road was.
But judging from Lu Guangyi's attitude towards Li Shutong, this person may be a very famous figure outside, so there should be many people who know what road Li Shutong is referring to.
As a time traveler, I might be fine if I say some random thoughts, but it would be fatal to ask questions that lack common sense.
Qingchen skipped the doubts and asked again: "How can I follow your path?"
"Don't get me wrong," Li Shutong smiled.
When Li Shutong smiled, the traces of time left in the corner of his eyes made Qingchen realize that the other person might be older than he thought.
Li Shutong continued: "Ye Wan and Lin Xiaoxiao met me a little late, so they couldn't follow my path. Although I appreciate you now, it's not enough."
"I understand," Qingchen nodded.
This makes sense.
He felt that if someone fell in love with him at first sight and then poured everything into him, then the other person might have a problem.
What you face may not be opportunities, but dangers.
But for Qingchen, being able to touch the edge of the mysterious world is enough.
It was something he had daydreamed about before and something that never existed on earth.
Now I am very close to those.
"How about it, are you still playing chess today?" Li Shutong looked at Qingchen: "I think you are in a very bad mental state, why don't you just take a day off. The most important thing about playing chess is to meet your opponent. If you win if you're not in good condition, it won't be fun."
As the prisoners lined up to get food and eat, more and more prisoners were walking freely in the restaurant.
Today was a little different. Many prisoners were paying attention to what was going on in Qingchen's side while eating.
Some people even stood up to eat with their plates in hand, their eyes fixed on the chessboard.
In fact, not many prisoners present can understand chess. This is an entertainment activity that is out of date.
But if Li Shutong likes it, then everyone needs to pay attention.
What if I also have a talent for playing chess and Li Shutong takes him seriously?
Of course, this is just a fantasy. More people pay attention to the chess game because they are too busy.
In the past, Li Shutong was watching the endgame by himself, and no one dared to stare. Now that Qingchen is playing against him, the atmosphere seems to be much more relaxed, and Ye Wan no longer glares at others.
On the side, even Lu Guangyi was watching with interest, and a group of people followed him like stars over the moon. ~IndoMTL.com~ Lu Guangyi enjoys this very much.
On both sides of the chessboard, Li Shuping waited for Qingchen to reply, while Qingchen stood up and said calmly: "No need to rest, surrender to drive the end game of the Emperor's Court, two rooks draw five, five rooks advance seven, two cannons draw eight, rooks draw two Five equals six, and four pawns advance one."
Chess is originally a game between you and me, but this time Qingchen simply stated every move he made, as if he had already expected that Li Shutong would cooperate with him, and directly deduced the chess game to the end. The final chapter.
Qingchen’s red rook entered the game to attract the black generals, which echoed the final pawns advancing four to one, forming a decisive victory.
This is a subtle move that ordinary people cannot imagine.
Others may not know what Qingchen is talking about, but Li Shutong definitely understands.
If you want to break the game of Tou Expulsion Emperor Court, there is only one way to go!
Li Shutong raised his head and glanced at Qingchen, then knocked his black veteran player upside down on the chessboard: "I thought you were not in a good mental state. If I won, I would take advantage of others. I didn't expect that I was overly worried. ."
In the crowd, Lu Guangyi's younger brother heard Lu Guangyi murmur: "I won again, this is so handsome. No matter where I win, as long as I can win against someone like Li Shutong, it will be worth it for a lifetime." Yeah, I want to learn chess too!"
The group of younger brothers who had just been gathered in did not understand why Lu Guangyi was interested in something like chess.
You know, although Lu Guangyi is outstanding in terms of force in Prison No. 18, his cultural level is definitely at the bottom.
At this time, Qingchen looked at Li Shutong and asked, "Can I ask you a question?"
