Golden maple leaves fell from the branches in the courtyard and lightly dotted the chessboard on the stone table.
An Qingyu held a black chess piece and frowned at the intertwined black and white pieces on the chessboard. Sweat dropped from his forehead, as if he was thinking hard about something.
Jiang Er was floating on the other side of the stone table. Looking at An Qingyu's appearance, he said distressedly:
"Qingyu... why don't you take a break?"
"It's okay." An Qingyu shook his head, and the grapevine hesitated in mid-air for half a minute before slowly landing it somewhere on the chessboard.
Jiang Er sighed, and a white stone automatically floated out of the chess box and landed next to the black stone.
An Qingyu fell into deep thought again.
At this moment, the door of the courtyard was pushed open. Lin Qiye and Li Yifei walked into the courtyard and were stunned when they saw An Qingyu playing chess with Jiang Er under the tree.
Lin Qiye's brows suddenly wrinkled, and he walked forward quickly, "You haven't rested for a few days...why did you start again?"
"Just playing chess doesn't put that much load on my brain." An Qingyu squeezed out a smile, "You know, Qiye, I have discovered the pattern..."
"What's the pattern?"
"It's not that I can't use the Forbidden Ruins, but after using it, my brain can't calculate the powerful load brought by the Forbidden Ruins... If I want to completely cure it, I can't think of reaching the sky in one step, but from the basic calculation logic,
Start exercising little by little.”
An Qingyu pointed to the chessboard in front of him, "I have been trying to rehabilitate my brain these days. Go is the best method I have come up with. Its lower limit and upper limit are very high. I can start from the most basic game.
Start adapting little by little, and sooner or later there will be a day when you can fully recover.
An hour ago, I could barely play twenty-five moves with Jiang Er, and now I can play thirty-eight moves with her... I can feel that the trauma in my soul is gradually adapting to the load of mental calculations."
Hearing this, Lin Qiye looked at the chessboard in front of him in surprise, "Really?"
"It's true." Jiang Er nodded slightly, "Although this process... is very painful."
Lin Qiye always thought that An Qingyu's sequelae were irreversible, and neither Tianzun nor Dr. Li could do anything about it... But why did An Qingyu say now that he could feel the wounds in his soul gradually being repaired?
If this is the case, then as long as you give him time, he can return to his heyday and use [The Only Correct Solution] again!
"No matter what, the most important thing is to protect your body. If you are tired, take a good rest." Lin Qiye reminded solemnly.
"By the way, today's medicine hasn't been given to you yet... I'm going to prepare the medicine for you first." Jiang Er seemed to have remembered something, and hurriedly rose from his seat, walked through the wall and entered the room.
"Qiye, please stay with me for a while longer."
"……All right."
In desperation, Lin Qiye could only sit down at Jiang Er's original position, holding the white chess piece in his hand, and continued playing chess with An Qingyu.
It can be seen that Jiang Er played against An Qingyu at the most basic level of Go. For Jiang Er, who is connected to the entire human Internet, she can upgrade her chess skills to the level of the world's top artificial intelligence at any time.
But in order to take care of An Qingyu's condition, she only uses it at the level of a primary school student.
Lin Qiye also tried his best to imitate Jiang Er's chess moves and slowly made moves.
"Qingyu."
"Um?"
"It's been really difficult for Jiang Er during this time." Lin Qiye raised his head and looked at him, "What are your plans?"
"……Intend?"
"If you don't get married, it will be difficult to end."
An Qingyu's hand holding the chess piece stopped in mid-air, and a light red appeared on his pale cheeks. He said helplessly, "Not everyone in this world is like you, Lin Qiye... You and Jialan are obviously related.
We haven't even officially confirmed it yet, but we are planning to get married... I'm not that thick-skinned.
I haven't finished what I promised her, and now I'm like this... With an uncertain future and a powerless mind, how can I have the nerve to propose to her?"
"Isn't it bad to be direct about emotional matters?" Lin Qiye asked back, "You just think too much. You have to think twice before doing anything and decide the overall situation without making any mistakes... This is really powerful on the battlefield. Emotions
If you do this again, you are indecisive!"
An Qingyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I never thought that one day I would be educated on my feelings by you..."
"I'm telling the truth." Lin Qiye put down a chess piece and said seriously, "Jiang Er's feelings for you can be seen by all of us. There are very few such good girls... We
They are a special team, not carefree ordinary people. If you want to wait until everything settles down before making more plans, then when will you wait?
You never know which one will come first, tomorrow or the accident."
An Qingyu looked at the chessboard in front of him and fell into silence.
"It's a good thing that you are very focused on what you do, but don't put all your eyes on one place all the time... look more at the people around you." Lin Qiye dropped a chess piece and said seriously.
"Here comes the medicine!"
Jiang Er, who was wearing a white dress, quickly floated out of the room. A ceramic bowl floated in the palm of her hand. The spoon automatically stirred the medicinal soup inside and handed it to An Qingyu.
Anqingyu took the medicinal soup and took a sip. It was not boiling hot as expected, but a very comfortable warmth. It must have been left to dry for a while.
"It shouldn't be hot anymore, right?" Jiang Er blinked.
An Qingyu looked at her quietly. After a long time, he smiled slightly and said, "Well, it's not hot anymore."
Lin Qiye looked at the two people in front of him, consciously moved away from his position and walked into the house.
At this moment, his cell phone ringtone suddenly rang.
"Hello?"
"I'm Chen Han." Chen Han's voice on the other end of the phone was a little solemn, "Qiye, you'd better come over... Regarding the monster that day, the report from the headquarters has come out."
Hearing these words, Lin Qiye's eyes narrowed slightly, "Okay, I'll be there right away."
…
Shangjing City, where Team 006 is based.
"Look at this." Chen Han stood behind the desk, took out a stack of papers from the drawer, and handed it to Lin Qiye.
This was a stack of copies of some kind of ancient book. In addition to some crooked words, there were some line patterns with unknown meanings. Lin Qiye flipped through several pages one after another, with doubts appearing in his eyes.
"What is this?"
"The original copy of this rubbing comes from the secret archives of the Upper Evil Society. This is an ancient scroll they found in a Cthulhu ruins many years ago. The headquarters did not find any clues about the monster, so they sent someone to contact the Upper Evil Society.
The evil society unearthed this thing."
"Going to an evil society?"
In Lin Qiye's mind, he immediately recalled the fourth floor of the Archives Collection Hall that he had visited with the memorial in [Utopia]...all the items related to the Ke system were stored there. If nothing else, the original was among those
In the glass booth.
When Lin Qiye turned to the last page, there was a strange-looking insect depicted in the center of the rubbings. After careful identification, it was 60-70% similar to the pink sarcoid insect they saw that day.
"According to the deciphering analysis by scholars from the Shangxie Society, the monster we met that day... was called 'Migo'."
