Chapter 117 The shadow of Isseki mirror that dare not play
Luo Xi had already started playing chess with the old man at this time.
1 [Memory], next game.
If you lose, the memory card ticket fee will not be refunded; if you win, not only will the previous [Memory] cards be returned, but 2 additional cards will be given.
Also, you won’t die if you lose.
It can be said that the danger in this Dolphin Chess Club level scene is almost zero, and once you win, the rate of return is also quite high.
However, to have a rate of return, you must be able to win the opponent.
As for this step, very few people can achieve it anyway.
Anyway, Qian Lejin has inquired. In the past dozen cycle days, every day there will be several senior memory collectors, or occasionally the memory collectors here come to try, but without exception, no one can Win this old man even in one round.
If this is the case, I guess no one will challenge me in the future. After all, the old man’s chess skills are too high.
If you can't win, what's the difference between throwing [Memory] cards away for nothing?
But the old man will reveal a key piece of information while playing chess.
That is, if you beat him, you can go to the second floor and challenge the next level. If you can successfully challenge the next level, you can get a numbered card.
Because of the huge temptation of numbered cards, even if they know that the old man is very good at chess and challengers have almost no winning record, there will still be people who can't help but come and try.
However, in this first game, after only playing for a while, Luo Xi had already given up.
"Come again!"
There was no movement on Luo Xi's face. He had indeed lost. He had made a wrong move in a key move before. Even if he continued to play, the result would still be a loss.
He took out the second [Memory] and handed it over.
The old man’s men will start the game again.
"Look, what am I talking about? If you can't win, you just can't win. It doesn't matter who you come to. You don't really think that this young man can be better than me, do you?" The bald man with glasses looked at this His posture immediately became more energetic, and he couldn't help but ridicule.
His point of view is that I am an authority and a professional, so if I can't handle things, others can't handle them either.
Furthermore, if you find a layman who is obviously not professional enough to handle something that I can't handle, it will definitely not be handled. I analyze it from a professional perspective. If you don't listen and still criticize me, then I'll just be with you. You guys are talking about it, just to let you know that in this industry, what I am talking about is the iron rule.
Qian Lejin ignored the other party.
He was also a little worried at this time. Although he knew that Luo Xi was very strong, after all, no one was perfect, and maybe Luo Xizhen was not good at playing chess.
If that’s the case, what I did this time would be a bit self-righteous.
But then I thought about it.
That’s not right.
Who is Luo Xi?
That was a being whose brain capacity was several times greater than that of ordinary people. In his eyes, Fatty Qian, he was a man who had reached the intellectual ceiling.
It is impossible for a person like this to continue throwing [memory] cards in even though he knows he cannot win.
So, watch it.
Of course he will not continue to argue with the bald man with glasses.
"I don't understand this game of chess, but it seems that your idol just played a little bit and gave up without even a fight? That's weird." Liang Qiu poked Fatty Qian at this time. .
“Brother Qiu, this is called deducing the number of steps. When a master plays chess, he may admit defeat if he makes a mistake in a key step, because he knows that his opponent is also a master and will not make mistakes. Instead of wasting time, it is better to start again early. Let's start a game." Fatty Qian answered with his only knowledge.
Actually, he didn’t even notice it just now.
In the second round, when the game reached fifty moves, Luo Xi surrendered.
“Continue!”
Luo Xi still had no unnecessary expression, no frustration, no reflection, and he took out the third [Memory] without any pain.
Now, Fatty Qian didn’t dare to say anything, while Liang Qiu couldn’t understand it at all.
What’s strange is that the bald man with glasses didn’t continue to mock.
He stared at the chessboard, looking at the black and white pieces on it, thoughtfully.
In the third game, after a hundred moves, Luo Xi continued to admit defeat.
So, the fourth game started.
The expression of the bald man with glasses became more and more weird. He stared at the chessboard, his expression changed from disdain to solemnity to fear
"How is this possible? Three games of chess, Looks like three different levels of people Beginner, intermediate, advanced. If it was intentional, what was he trying to do? But if it wasn't intentional, wouldn't it mean that this person improved his chess skills in three games, and he seemed to have seen through it? The old man’s chess strategy.”
The bald man was sweating more on his forehead now than when he was playing chess in person just now.
He couldn't help but wipe it with a towel.
In these four games, a layman cannot tell the level. They only know that more and more chess pieces are falling on the chessboard, more than in the previous three games.
It seems to be stuck in a stalemate.
Because the old man over there usually doesn't think, he just makes the opponent's move, which is a delay of one or two seconds.
But in this fourth game, from the moment Luo Xi made his move, the old man actually started to think.
This caused his playing speed to be obviously much slower than the previous games, and the entire rhythm slowed down.
This shows that he is thinking, and sometimes he will fall into a deadlock and confusion, and even feel a little indecisive at the end.
But the strange thing is that Luo Xi's moves are getting faster and faster.
It was as if they had switched roles and positions. Luo Xi's moves passed quickly, while the old man would think deeply before making a move. After the move, he did not take his fingers away immediately. He hesitated for a second or two before raising his hand. But it can be seen that he is still quickly observing the entire chess move.
The fat man didn't understand chess either, but he felt that he might win this game.
Among the onlookers, Fatty Qian was not the only one who didn’t understand chess, but even Liang Qiu, who had always had a loud voice, felt the invisible pressure and tension at this time, which caused him to also He didn't dare to say anything, he could only stare at the chessboard that seemed to him to be full of stars.
The bald man kept wiping his sweat. He looked at the chessboard as if it were a stock market chart that was rising steadily and all lines were red. It seemed that if he missed a second, he would lose tens of thousands.
The tense atmosphere infected everyone present.
Everyone breathed carefully, for fear of disturbing the two people playing chess.
Finally, after Luo Xi dropped a piece, the old man held the chess piece with his fingers, but it still didn't fall. He looked left and right, and was silent for a long time. Finally, he smiled and put the chess piece with his fingers back into the basket. among.
“I lost!”
The old man spoke.
These three words were like a thunder, which shocked everyone watching the battle speechless.
However, each of them seemed to have a stormy sea in their chests, with too many questions and doubts.
Although the old man lost the chess game, he looked very happy. He glanced at Luo Xi, and his cloudy eyes seemed to have regained focus. The original sense of madness and decadence seemed to have disappeared at this moment.
The whole person is completely new.
He took three [Memories] and handed them to Luo Xi.
As for Luo Xi, although he won this time, overall he still lost money. In four rounds, he used four [Memory] cards, but in the end, he only got three cards back.
But this is obviously not important.
The important thing is that he can go to the second floor and challenge the second level. "Congratulations. Now you can go to the second floor to challenge the next level. If you win, you can get a fixed numbered card. I wish you success." The old man was very pleased, but he looked at Luo Xi and said slowly Slowly, his expression became a little weird.
It felt like he suddenly remembered something, but he didn't completely remember it.
It's like walking on the street, and suddenly you meet someone who looks familiar, and you say, hey, you're not that person
It looks familiar, but you just can't remember the name.
This old man has this expression and state now.
Luo Xi didn't say much. He stood up and walked to the second floor. Others wanted to follow, but they were stopped by the old man.
"Only those who pass the first level can go upstairs to challenge the second level. Others cannot go up unless they beat me." The old man said firmly.
He looked skinny, but even a fierce man like Liang Qiu didn't dare to mess around.
Dolphin Chess Club, many people have challenged it and lost. Naturally, there are some people who are not convinced and want to use other methods, such as force to snatch the cards.
But the result was that he died miserably.
It is said that the old man beat the other person into a pulp with one hand.
When he plays chess, he is an old man, but when he takes action, he is a terrifying tyrannosaurus.
Over there, Fatty Qian stopped the bald man with glasses who was about to sneak out and run away.
"No way, brother, you are not the kind of despicable, dishonest, dishonest person you say, right? No way? You just wanted to go out for a breather, not run away, Am I right?”
Fatty Qian said to the other party with a smile.
The words were like a big slap, making the other person's face turn red.
"Brother, let me help you settle the account. The commission I asked you for before was two [Memories], plus the two extra [Memories] you mentioned as compensation, there are four [Memories] in total. Bring it here. "
Fatty Qian stretched out his hand, as if if you don't give it to me, I will kill you in ten thousand ways.
Liang Qiu also led people to block the door.
He is also a person who accepts death. Since the other party said it himself, he must fulfill his promise and cannot keep his word.
The bald man saw that he couldn't run away, so he had no choice but to admit defeat.
He knows how terrifying and frightening it is for people to deal with and torture each other. He knows that death is just the starting point for a new beginning, but if someone is stripped naked before death, all the cards will be taken away. , that is the real 'death' for those who pick up memories.
So, we can only compromise.
After handing in four memories, the bald man left in no hurry.
"I admit, that young man does have two skills, a good chess skill, talent, and patience, but he may not be able to pass the second level."
This idea is normal.
Because the first level is so difficult, the second level must be even harder. After all, it involves rewards for numbered cards.
A level scene like this is not only difficult, but also extremely dangerous.
If you are not careful, you will die!
He guessed correctly.
On the second floor, Luo Xi looked at the weird room and didn't know what to say for a moment.
There is no one here.
The room is not big, but there is a huge mirror on the wall directly in front of the room.
The whole person can be included.
In the center of the room, there is a chessboard.
There are also chess pieces.
But the chess pieces in the two chess baskets are all black.
“One-color chess?” Luo Xi has heard that it not only tests chess skills, but also tests memory, because you need to remember the position of each move of yourself and the opponent. If you remember wrongly, it is basically impossible to win.
The problem is, there is no one here.
So, who are you playing this color chess game with?
Luo Xi walked in and sat on the side of the chessboard. Opposite was a huge wall mirror.
At this moment, the lights in the room went out.
Only the small lamp on one side of the chessboard is still on.
But only the chessboard can be illuminated brightly, while other locations in the room are very dim.
Vaguely, you can see what seems to be someone moving in front of you.
Luo Xi looked up. At this moment, the room was surprisingly quiet.
Slowly, the shadow was approaching and seemed to be sitting opposite.
But if you look carefully, you will find that there is no one on the opposite side of the room, but in the mirror, reflected by the desk lamp, there is a figure sitting opposite Luo Xi.
“Oh, it’s been a long time since anyone came to play chess with me!”
A strange voice sounded.
It was like someone was whispering in my ear.
"Then, let's get started." Luo Xi didn't talk nonsense. He had just played four games of chess with the old man for more than an hour. It was almost four o'clock now.
It has somewhat disrupted his original plan.
So, you have to hurry up.
But at the next moment, the shadow in the mirror seemed to see Luo Xi. The other person was startled, and then made a move that Luo Xi had not expected at all.
The shadow ran away.
When it came, it approached slowly, full of mystery. When it left, it was a little panicked, and it ran very fast. It was said to be panicked because the other party seemed to have knocked over a chair in the mirror, and along with it, A chair in the room also fell to the ground for no reason.
Luo Xi was a little confused.
He sat and waited for a while, but there was no movement.
It felt like opening a game and suddenly the screen went black and a bug stuck.
How do you deal with this kind of thing?
Restart!
Luo Xi stood up, walked out, knocked on the door, walked in again and sat down.
Still no movement.
Apart from the desk lamp, there was no other light in the room, and because of the mirror, it seemed quite empty.
For this kind of thing, Luo Xi felt that he must ask the old man on the first floor.
The scene is not ready, so I have to return the card!
At this moment, the light bulb of the desk lamp flickered, like flickering caused by unstable voltage.
Looking in the mirror again, there is already a group of people.
