Night’s Nomenclature Chapter 6: The warriors crossing the river
Before the middle-aged man raised his head, Qingchen thought that the other man was deaf. Such a loud movement around him did not affect him at all.
However, after the middle-aged man raised his head, Qingchen almost thought he was deaf, because the originally noisy square suddenly became quiet without any extra sound.
The surprised looks and some inexplicable emotions in the eyes of the people around him seemed to be a foil to the identity of the middle-aged man.
Because this middle-aged man has never paid attention to other people's requests for help in the past.
Suddenly Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief, because everything proved that he was right in his bet.
The middle-aged man did not say anything to him, but calmly pushed the red **** on the chessboard to advance one.
The middle-aged man, who was holding the black diamond, chose to retreat from the five bishops to the seven, killing the **** that had just triumphed.
Qingchen looked at the chessboard quietly from a distance. The endgame of the four bandits capturing the king was a famous endgame on earth. There were two layouts, and in front of him was the more dangerous one.
The so-called endgame generally means that the black side must win, and the red side cannot even draw. If it is a draw, the endgame is solved.
However, Qingchen was not satisfied with a draw.
The endgame of the Four Bandits Capturing the King is a bit strange. The four warriors on the red side have flown across the Chu River to the bottom line, and both rooks are present.
The situation seems to be evenly matched, but in fact, this endgame is full of murderous opportunities and traps. Black can win with just one move, but red can only run for its life. If you are not careful, you will think that you have a chance to win. , and was counterattacked.
This is a dead situation that seems full of hope, but can make people fall into despair little by little.
"Continue," the middle-aged man said calmly.
Qingchen said: "Two soldiers equal three."
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up. At this time, he seemed to be really interested. He was too lazy to fiddle with the chessboard. He closed his eyes and played a blind chess game with Qingchen: "Add six to one."
Qingchen also closed his eyes: "The car behind is entering four."
"The elephant seven retreats to the nine."
In the sixth round, Qingchen suddenly said: "One car goes into seven!"
The middle-aged man's closed eyes actually opened again. He looked at Qingchen in surprise: "The elephant retreats from five to seven."
In the first five steps, the back and forth between each other was uneventful, but after the sixth step, the two sides actually started to change moves!
Kill me! I will kill you! Rivers of blood flowed, and soldiers mourned everywhere!
Both sides were extremely cruel in their determination and determination on the chessboard.
The two of them were like the calmest generals on the battlefield, sacrificing everything for the final victory.
The situation where the four bandits captured the king unexpectedly caused the two of them to show off a sense of bravery. However, behind this bravery was a deep calculation by both sides.
At the beginning, Qingchen's red side was obviously more fierce with the four pawns crossing the river, but he gave up the four pawns one by one in exchange for other plans, leaving only the last one!
One car equals four.
Tie four to five.
The four cannons are equal to five.
Three cars and five cars.
On the fifteenth step, Qingchen finally let out a long breath: "Five soldiers advance to one!"
You can see in the picture.
Capture the king!
It was not until this moment that the end game of the four bandits capturing the king finally burst out with indescribable charm. The situation of disinfecting each other in the realm of Chu, River and Han actually made the middle-aged man feel like it was real. It's the same as facing off against a counselor on the battlefield.
Every move in this game is extremely dangerous.
What surprised the middle-aged man the most was that the young man in front of him was not very old, but he did not hesitate at all when he gave up his son and changed the game.
It is important not to abandon or give up, but war is war. How can there be no sacrifice in war?
He quietly looked at the young man in front of him, who was also looking at him, his face solemn and stubborn.
It seems that in this desperate situation, they are fighting to find a way out and open up a new life.
He understood that he was playing chess, and the opponent was trying to survive in an environment surrounded by steel beasts, so his attitude was different.
No one noticed that at this moment, 81 of the 210 surveillance cameras in the prison fortress were turned directly towards Qingchen.
There was a vortex shrinking in the black surveillance camera, as if it was trying to focus on Qingchen's face.
No one knows who is focusing behind this surveillance camera.
The middle-aged man smiled and knocked the Black veteran upside down on the chessboard: "It's interesting. Not many people can play chess these days. Let's continue tomorrow."
After saying that, he walked towards the library area with his hands behind his back, leaving the chessboard on the dining table where no one dared to move it.
The gray cat on the table stood up and followed quietly behind the middle-aged man.
When the cat lies down, it looks like a ball of hair, which doesn’t look very big.
However, when he stretched it out, Qingchen realized that the cat was over one meter long and extremely strong.
Ordinary cats walk lightly and are called catwalks, but this cat walked like a tiger.
Everyone in the square who was paying attention was stunned. Was this endgame actually won by the young man?
To be honest, they didn’t understand chess either. Later, when the two sides played blind chess, they couldn’t understand it even more.
There are too many entertainment activities in this era, each of which is more exciting and fun than chess.
They can use chips to directly obtain pleasure, and can also log their consciousness into the virtual network. This is an era where happiness is very cheap. There are very few people playing chess. No matter how good you are at playing chess, can you still beat artificial intelligence? ?
However, what surprised them about Qingchen's victory over the middle-aged man was that in their eyes, how could the middle-aged man lose?
Whether it is playing chess or fighting, how can the opponent lose?
To be honest, Qingchen was a little surprised. This middle-aged man obviously didn't even have mechanical limbs, not even the two followers around him. Why did he have such a high prestige in this prison where steel beasts were rampant?
The young man who stopped Qingchen before blinked at him: "Awesome, my name is Lin Xiaoxiao, his name is Ye Wan, we will see you tomorrow."
After saying that, he and another young man named Ye Wan left in the footsteps of the middle-aged man.
Qingchen didn't even know the name of the middle-aged man at this time, he only knew the names of the two followers, but now it was undoubtedly a good start.
The condensed atmosphere in the square finally became lively until the middle-aged man just took Ye Wan and Lin Xiaoxiao to the reading area.
The prisoner who had just been entertaining the newcomers was still pulling the newcomers into the cell. There were a total of 12 newcomers including him, and 9 of them had already been pulled in.
At this time, Qingchen looked at the prisoners again, but no one was interested in him anymore.
Suddenly, a young man with a mechanical leg ran up to Qingchen and said in a panic: "We have just come in. Please help me. I will listen to you from now on."
The surrounding prisoners looked at him coldly. They were still a little unclear about the situation. Qingchen definitely couldn't move, but if the young man wanted to protect the other newcomers, then they were unwilling.
However, Qingchen turned a deaf ear to what the young man said and looked calm as if he hadn't heard anything.
The prisoners laughed and forcibly pulled the young man away.
Just listen to the young man yelling: "My uncle is the director of Changming Company in City No. 17, you..."
Before he finished speaking, the other prisoners burst into laughter: "Except for the five major companies, other companies are not worth mentioning, let alone you, even if your uncle comes to this prison fortress, he will be honest. ”
Qingchen listened to all this silently, absorbing all useful information. He had just been identifying the identities of these newcomers, and wanted to see if there were any other earthlings hiding among them.
He traveled through time himself and had no memory of this world at all. Until now, he doesn’t even know how many years he has been sentenced.
Qingchen believes that other people have no memories, so those who can talk about interpersonal relationships outside prison like this young man are probably not his "fellow countrymen".
Among the 12 new inmates, the only ones from Earth should be the collapsed boy and him.
For some reason, Qingchen didn't feel depressed at all. Instead, he was looking forward to his completely different... life.
A completely different life.
This sentence sounds very tempting.
When your own life is already in a mess, someone puts a button in front of you and says: Press this and you will have an extraordinary life.
But there are two possibilities after pressing it.
Probably better.
It could be worse.
Do you press it?
Qingchen thinks he should be able to press it.
On earth, he seemed to have always been a redundant person. His father thought he was a burden, his mother had a new family, and his relatives rarely interacted with him.
Qingchen has spent two Spring Festivals alone.
So, if your past life was all gloomy, then no matter how dangerous, unknown, and terrifying the new world is, there will always be something to look forward to.
This world is different. For Qingchen, coming here from the earth is like an adventure in life's rebellion, and it is also like a relief from the past.
If there hadn't been this incident about the countdown, he would have studied hard, worked hard to support himself, and then relied on his unique memory to get into a very good and far away university and never come back.
However, such a life still seems to be meaningless.
He believed that there were not many people who traveled with him on the earth. Even if there were thousands or tens of thousands, it would still be a small proportion compared to the total base.
This made him feel that he was special.
Countdown 39:31:29.
Qingchen silently looked at everything around him. He wanted to record all the information he could see so that he could analyze it slowly when he returned to the cell alone.
Above an alloy gate next to the square, there is a blue holographic projection showing the beating time, AM8:29.
The holographic image projected three-dimensionally looks so novel and eye-catching, 8:29 am.
At this moment, a young man took advantage of the others to divert their attention and suddenly walked up to Qingchen and whispered: "You finally came in. You are as good-looking as the legend. I am Lu Guangyi, arranged by Qingyan I came here three months ago, just call me Xiaolu."
Qingchen: "???"
He was stunned for a moment and looked at the other party.
This young man named Lu Guangyi is about 24 or 5 years old. He has inch-long black hair. His right arm and left leg are equipped with mechanical limbs. He also has mechanical eyes. Qingchen can even see into the other person's eyes. There are spiral patterns changing focus.
This mechanical limb is different from most prisoners. It looks very sophisticated in terms of streamlined shape and material.
Qingchen searched his memory and traced the other party’s behavior.
At this time, Qingchen discovered that Lu Guangyi had looked at him 21 times in more than an hour, which was the number of times the opponent was in his field of vision.
Qingchen didn't know who this person was, but the tone of his voice clearly meant that he knew him, and he used honorifics.
Listening to what Lu Guangyi said, he seemed to have other motives for entering this prison fortress.
But Qingchen is afraid that his time travel will be exposed, so he doesn’t want to have much interaction with Lu Guangyi for the time being: "I don’t need your help yet. I can do some things myself."
Lu Guangyi shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, I have to take good care of you."
Qingchen also shook his head and said: "No one's personality is nobler than anyone else's, you don't need to use the word "serve".
At this time, Lu Guangyi said flatteringly: "No, you can call me around from now on, just treat me as your licking dog, the kind that licks your feet!"
Qingchen was speechless. What kind of person would say such bottomless words: "What if I have athlete's foot?"
Lu Guangyi said without any shame: "Then I can lick it for you!"
Qingchen was silent for a long time: "...awesome."
Even though he was very restrained from talking nonsense, he couldn't help but sigh.
Qingchen is a little confused now. He clearly traveled through time with his body and consciousness, so why did he have such strange relationships in the past?
In other words, in the eyes of people in this world, have you really lived in this world for so many years?
Seeing that Qingchen was silent, Lu Guangyi said in a low voice: "This morning I was still wondering why you didn't come to me as soon as possible. It turns out that you planned to approach Li Shutong as a newcomer. It's so clever. Here In Prison Fortress No. 18, if we can get help from Li Shutong, our plan will be smoother."
Qingchen: "..."
What plan.
What are you talking about.
Can you make it clearer? !
Lu Guangyi continued as if talking to himself: "I have been here for more than three months and have gathered a group of people who can be used for you~IndoMTL.com~Don't worry, they won't Lost the chain."
The young man was chattering.
Qingchen felt that Lu Guangyi seemed a bit talkative, but he just listened silently, not knowing how to respond.
This is like playing "Who's the Undercover" when you take a blank card and have to wait until everyone has finished speaking before you can speak, otherwise the words others take are all "pee", and you are the first to speak and say yes Drink, this could cause big problems.
He searched in his mind and found that during breakfast, Lu Guangyi was surrounded by hundreds of people, each of whom was equipped with a mechanical limb.
It seems that these people are the "subordinates" recruited by Lu Guangyi after he came in.
Seeing that Qingchen was still silent, Lu Guangyi asked in a low voice again: "However, you must also be careful about Li Shutong. Getting along with this kind of person is like seeking the skin of a tiger. It might make us passive... Sorry , I talk too much."
At this time Qingchen realized that the Li Shutong the other party was talking about was probably the middle-aged man.
As soon as Lu Guangyi saw him coming in, he immediately went to play chess with Li Shutong, but he mistakenly thought that he came with a mission.
However, he approached Li Shutong not for some **** plan, but to survive.
"What instructions did you bring in this time?" Lu Guangyi suddenly asked.
Qingchen slowly turned his head and looked at the young man: "A lama came from the south."
Youth: "???"
Qingchen ignored him and turned around to leave, leaving Lu Guangyi to stay where he was and said blankly: "A lama came from the south? What kind of lama?"
