Taking one step forward with his left and right feet, Shao Yu stepped onto the small bronze steps.
Shao Yu twisted his ankles on both sides, and his heart settled.
Well, okay, I didn’t seem to ask...
As soon as the idea came to mind, a series of mechanical sounds suddenly came from below.
Kakaka...
Shaoyu reacted immediately, jumping back as if he was stressed. However, this human power cannot match mechanical strength - at least not him.
Two mechanical calipers stretched out from under the table, one on the left and one on the right, grabbing Shao Yu's feet and holding him in place as he was about to escape.
Shao Yu almost lost his balance due to the sudden pull by an external force. He lay back on his back without moving his feet or head, and finally managed to maintain his balance by swinging his arms.
Fortunately, this mechanism should only be used to restrain people in place and is not harmful. Shaoyu will be fine.
Out of confidence in his own magical power, Shao Yu breathed a sigh of relief after discovering that there were no further changes in the mechanism, and began to think of ways to escape.
He first pulled his feet backwards. He could sway slightly, but he could not break free from the calipers.
Shao Yu bent down, grabbed the mechanical arm connected to the caliper, and pulled back with all his strength.
A face was flushed with blood from holding back blood, but the robotic arm was only pulled a very small distance, which was basically useless.
Facts have once again proved that it is unrealistic for human power to resist mechanical power - for Shao Yu.
Before he could think of another way, the sound of mechanisms operating could also be heard from other places.
The noise this time was much louder than when he was locked up just now. The sound of gears grinding and chains turning overlapped and echoed in the empty hall.
Shao Yu hurriedly stood up, looked around the environment, and carefully prepared to deal with possible dangers.
But just like before, there is still no danger.
As the mechanism operated, there was first a slight shaking under Shao Yu's feet, and the already high platform he was standing on slowly rose to a certain height.
This allows Shaoyu to have a better visual environment.
Immediately afterwards, the fire stations standing in an orderly manner on both sides of the walls were automatically ignited, and the sudden fire light illuminated the dim back half of the empty hall.
It seems to be a place like a pit. The entire area has sunk into a space about the height of a person compared to the front half where the machine platform is.
Because the bottom was slightly deep, the firelight could not illuminate it clearly, and Shao Yu could not move his position, so he could only vaguely see what was going on underneath.
It's very empty, and there doesn't seem to be anything. The floor is neatly laid out, and there's a high probability that there are some sayings in there.
Before Shao Yu could think more about what the pit was for, the surface on which the words had been carved suddenly folded and shrank like a bamboo slip, and a new level of countertop emerged from below.
The table this time is a pile of criss-crossed grids. When you look at it, the first thing that comes to mind... is undoubtedly a chessboard!
Also changing are the two grooves on both sides, each of which translates into two sentences.
"Killing in a military formation is child's play."
Shao Yu gently stroked his palm across the countertop, read the two sentences on the left smoothly, and couldn't help but smile.
"This chessboard, and these words, it seems you want me to play chess!"
"The ancestors of the Moh family are really interesting. How about playing chess..."
As he said this, he looked down at the calipers that trapped him and couldn't help but shake his head.
After sighing, he turned his gaze to the right, where there were two sentences:
"Victory or defeat is unpredictable, be careful about life and death..."
"Huh?"
Shaoyu touched his chin in confusion.
The two sides feel a bit conflicting.
How can a gambling game involve life and death?
Shao Yu, who couldn't figure it out for the time being, simply gave up and didn't think about it anymore.
No matter what, let’s play chess first!
Shaoyu still has some confidence in his chess skills.
Although he has always advocated violence and does not like Master Fan
I usually teach the so-called military principles, but I am quite interested in playing chess.
According to what Master Fan said, he is indeed very talented in this field. After studying for several years, his skills are quite remarkable.
To say that he is a master of chess, he is far from it, but how can he deal with a rigid mechanical creature?
Shao Yu reached out his hand and pressed the chessboard with great satisfaction. It turned out to be a mechanism that could be pressed.
After feeling his pressure, the four squares in the center of the chessboard turned over at the same time, revealing four chess pieces.
Two black and two white, each with a diagonal line, is equivalent to a black and white.
At the same time as the chessboard was flipped, the corresponding grids in the pit below also opened, and four human-shaped pottery figurines rose up.
The appearance of the terracotta warriors is exactly the same, but the colors of the armor and stomach on their bodies are different, some are black and some are white.
There are also different orientations. Terracotta warriors of the same color face the same direction, while those with different colors have different orientations.
When Shao Yu saw this, he couldn't help but grin, "It's interesting to give him some troops!"
As he muttered, his hands couldn't wait to touch the chessboard grid.
He stretched out his hand and pressed lightly, and the pieces he touched sank slightly, then immediately bounced back and forth, revealing a brand new black chess piece.
At the same time, a black terracotta warrior also rose below.
When Shao Yu made a move, a square immediately flipped over on its own, revealing a white piece.
Shao Yu was a little surprised that the agency responded so quickly, but he didn't pay much attention.
As a native of this world, he has a high degree of acceptance of mechanism arts and does not feel there is anything wrong with meeting an Alpha Dog in this era.
Of course, maybe it's because he also expected how powerful the artificial intelligence he was about to face would be, so he didn't feel a sense of crisis.
After a few more moves, Shao Yu's black stones surrounded the white stones.
"Hey!" Seeing this, he couldn't help but smile, waiting for the piece to be eaten by himself.
But to his surprise, after the besieged white stone was swallowed, a black stone was turned over as a replacement.
Correspondingly, the armor and stomach plates on the white terracotta warrior below also flipped and turned black, suddenly changing the lineup.
"Oh?" Shao Yu was stunned for a moment, but he quickly understood this special rule. "It seems that the surrounding pieces will not be eaten, but become their own chess pieces."
"Hmm...it's interesting!"
Shaoyu shook his head and smiled.
Now he finds it more interesting.
………………
At the Xia Dao Terminal, Tianming and Qianlong walked into the bronze gate hand in hand, and then received the same treatment as Shaoyu.
The two people's reactions were similar to Shao Yu's, they just looked back at the closed door and stopped paying attention.
Tianming focused all his attention on the space behind the door. Looking at it, he couldn't help but sigh:
"Wow!"
"There are so many people!"
What appeared in front of Tianming and Qiantaki was an extremely huge mountain cavity, with a width of about ten feet and a height of at least ten feet. It was unclear how long it was, and the farthest point could not be seen at all.
