Chapter 43 The Killer
Just when Lu Xun was deeply involved in a family dispute, the other side of Hongshan City...
"Qingyue, are you okay?"
In the Grandmaster's Suite at Xinhu Restaurant, Bai Xiao looked at Qingyue who had just woken up with concern.
The girl's face was a little confused, as if she had just recovered from a serious illness and had just woken up.
Last night, in the corridor of the nightclub, Qingyue bandaged Bai Xiao's wound and suddenly fainted on the ground... Bai Xiao was still calm as usual. After all, it was so common for Qingyue to faint in front of him. So after holding her and pondering for a moment, Bai Xiao immediately bit her wrist and sent it to her lips, forcibly getting blood.
According to the experience of the Snow Mountain period, Qingyue's physical discomfort is basically related to curses, so once there is a symptom, it is absolutely true that he has cerebral blood sensation. However, this time Qingyue drank several mouthfuls of blood and slept harder.
When I woke up, it was dawn.
Bai Xiao was guarding by the window, feeling that the girl in front of him seemed to be slightly different from last night, and this difference seemed familiar... This subtle difference is indescribable and certain. Bai Xiao thought for a moment and thought it was mostly related to the visual weakness caused by his excessive blood loss.
I will ask the waiter to send a few more kilograms of Chengnan barbecue to get back the blood.
What is important now is Qingyue.
"Drink some more blood?"
Qingyue shook her head, pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "Do you like playing chess?"
Bai Xiao was stunned, not expecting how Qingyue asked such a question.
If you like to play chess... Of course, you like it. Even if it is not a particularly interesting game, it will become interesting with Qingyue. Moreover, hunting chess has always been Bai Xiao's favorite. Even if it is a game that must be lost, Bai Xiao also finds it interesting.
Every failure will allow him to learn more and grow. With the skills he learned from Qingyue, he will be invincible in the tribe, and even make the chief Wu Zhulan's face anxious and white-faced.
"Does there also be chess and card games in the Snow Mountain Tribe? Teach me."
Bai Xiao felt stranger, but since Qingyue asked about it, he had nothing to hide, so he briefly introduced several popular chess and card games in the tribe, and then introduced in detail the most popular hunting chess.
Qingyue lay on the bed, was silent for a long time, and then said, "Hunting chess seems very interesting. Can you teach me?"
Of course Bai Xiao was happy.
Hunting chess is essentially a game that simulates hunting hunters. One side plays the hunter and the other side plays the beast king, ending with the death of any side. At first, hunting chess was just a simple simulation game discussed by several hunters during a chat, but after thousands of years of development, the rules have become quite complex, so that many skilled hunters perform on the board as mentally retarded. But on the other hand, these complex rules are not meaningless. If you can truly understand these rules, then the thinking on the board can also be brought into actual hunting actions.
As the chief hunter of the younger generation, Bai Xiao is also the top chess player in the tribe. In addition to Qing Yue, he has invincible players in the tribe. There is no need to say how profound his understanding of this game is.
Soon, Bai Xiao introduced the rules of the game in full, and Qingyue pondered for a long time: "Can you have a game?"
At this moment, Bai Xiao suddenly felt as if some mechanism was touched in his body, and he became excited involuntarily.
Is there a plate? This sentence has been said from Qingyue’s mouth, which has been a long time since.
If you think about it carefully, I haven’t played chess for a long time, and my hands are unbearable!
"Of course, actual combat is the best shortcut to familiarizing yourself with the chess path." Bai Xiao said, while outlining the chessboard in his mind and formulating a combat plan.
"It's more troublesome to make chessboards and pieces. Do you mind blind chess?"
"It should be no problem." Qingyue said, "Which side do you choose?"
"Everything is OK, the hunter's chess path is relatively more familiar..."
"Then I will choose the Beast King." Qingyue said, her starry eyes closed halfway and fell into deep thought.
This posture made Bai Xiao feel a strong sense of familiarity again.
In the past, Qingyue often showed such a look when playing chess, which basically means that Bai Xiao can directly vote for the loss, and continuing to struggle will only increase his humiliation.
So...
A flash of inspiration in Bai Xiao's mind instantly.
By the way, the situation is different now! She is no longer the curse daughter who won 3,845 games in a row, but the Demonic Princess who has lost all her chess skills and a pure and pink rookie!
So I have to win Qingyue, which is now. When Qingyue accumulates enough experience - according to Bai Xiao's estimate, perhaps only one or two hundred games will be able to get close to the peak level, making Bai Xiao no longer able to match her.
As for the snow-capped hunter, of course, he should choose the weakest prey when he is hunting!
"Go ahead and hold the bow!"
Bai Xiao made a quick decision and started the chess game.
Although I always feel that things are a bit weird, I can’t take care of so many things!
Win first!
——
Half an hour later, Bai Xiao's face turned pale.
It was as weak as if he had just fed blood to the three Qingyues.
“…No.”
The chess game in my mind was completely in desperate situation. Bai Xiao's hunter was hungry and cold in the heavy snow, and was seriously injured, just like a repeat of the scene in the Ice Cave of the Holy Mountain. Qingyue's beast king still had most of his physical strength, and his army of strange beasts under his command were also aggressive.
Bai Xiao did not let the water go.
Strictly speaking, he even surpassed his past self. Under extreme excitement, his chess skills reached a new level, but...
The clear moon is still like an insurmountable mountain.
She is obviously just a young newcomer! She just listened to the rules!
Is the difference between people's talents so huge?!
After a moment of silence, Bai Xiao had no choice but to admit defeat: "This is one to zero."
Qingyue frowned: "Is this the score?"
Bai Xiao thought for a while: "That's right, you are a newcomer, but you can beat a veteran like me. It's not fair to only count one point. You're 10, ten to zero."
Qingyue frowned even tighter, as if there was something important to match, but in the end he nodded: "It's OK, even if it's ten to zero, Xiaobai, you have to chase after it."
“…Is it chasing 3845 to 0?”
This sudden number made Qingyue’s mind hurt. Unfortunately, before she could react, the door of the Grandmaster’s suite was pushed open very rudely.
The crimson woman rushed into the suite with great enthusiasm, and saw the young girl playing chess by the bed at a glance. She shouted: "Bai Xiao, Qingyue, good morning, wow, my face is so pale, how long did you indulge last night..."
Before Yuan Shi could finish her words, Qingyue threw her pillow towards her.
"What are you here for!?"
Yuan Shi took the pillow and smiled and said, "I'm visiting you. I heard that you two had a bloody nightclub at Nancheng last night. How do you feel now?"
When Bai Xiao heard her mention what happened last night, he immediately became alert.
He killed the Royal Spy last night, of course he wouldn't think the matter could be settled.
"Are they here to make trouble?"
Yuan Shi waved her hand and smiled, "If you continue to be so murderous, it will be really troublesome... Don't worry, the people in the academy were not idle last night, and things have basically stabilized. No one will pursue your murderous behavior. The royal family will remain silent about this matter, as long as no one else takes the initiative to tease them with this matter."
"Is that so? Thank you." Bai Xiao nodded and withdrew his murderous intent.
Qingyue frowned on the other side: "Is it so simple? Although the royal family was responsible for the loss last night and the secret spies were killed, they probably wouldn't think so."
Yuan Shi said: "Of course it's not that simple. The royal family did make verbally promises that we would not pursue the follow-up, but the royal family's promises are all over the world. However, the influence of the royal family is spread all over the West Continent. Even the owner of the Xinhu Restaurant is half a royal family member... So you'd better go with me now, as the only college can barely be considered a paradise."
Bai Xiao glanced at Qingyue, who was still weak and weak, and nodded: "Okay, let's go now."
Yuan Shi said again: "Don't just consider others. You are not safe either... Don't think that killing a few royal spies will be invincible. Do you know that the more times your killer weapon is exposed, the less safe you will be."
Bai Xiao thought about it and said in confusion: "What trump card?"
"...It's your trick to kill the royal spy."
