Reversi, Reversi again, this ancient chess game, in this deceitful and disorderly extraordinary world, seems to have some deep meaning that Boluogo still doesn't know.
Bologg stared at the astronaut, the golden glass mask emitting dazzling light, and then the corners of Bologg's mouth couldn't help but raise.
The astronaut asked, "What's wrong?"
"I just feel that everything happening now is too absurd, so absurd that it makes people laugh."
The pressure reached the limit, and Bologo relaxed. If the astronaut in front of him was really the devil who traded away his soul, the immortal power he gave Bologo could be seen as a glimpse of the astronaut's love for him.
Yes, he has inestimable value to the astronaut in front of him, and he will not give up on himself until his value is drained.
Thinking of this, Boluogo felt very relaxed. He said, "In this world after death, in this weird situation, I am actually playing chess with a devil... It's really crazy, just like the plot in a movie."
"Movie plot? That's right, we are indeed making a movie."
The astronaut looked at the screen in front of him. The timeline chaos incident had ended. What appeared on the screen now was a gray and dead world. Then another screen appeared on the screen, and so on.
The earth overlapped, collapsed, and piled up into a whirlpool like an abyss.
Bologg looked away, but the picture on the screen did not change. This picture did not come from Bologg's sight, but from an invisible camera that was following Bologg in real time and filming everything.
He had experienced enough strange things today, and Bologo didn't have much emotional ups and downs regarding the real-time shooting in front of him.
He has already encountered a number of similar perverts, but it seems that the astronauts and the lunatics of the Unbound Poetry Society are not the same.
"I'm starting to hate the world after death."
Boluogo muttered that he once thought that the world after death was his absolute safe house, but now it seems that the world after death is the most dangerous area.
The devil that I have been chasing for a long time is waiting for me here.
"The world after death? Do you mean this void?"
The astronaut pondered what Bologg said, and smiled under his helmet. He did not expect that Bologg would think in the direction of the "afterlife", but it was theoretically correct. After all, every time Bologg died, he would briefly
came here.
He murmured in a very low voice, "So this is how you understand it?"
Boluogo didn't notice these abnormalities. Every time he left the afterlife, he relied on his own resurrection. Now Boluogo doesn't know what his "body" has experienced. He has not been resurrected after such a long time. In addition,
In addition, Boluogo does not have the means to actively leave this afterlife - at least for the time being, that is the case.
He couldn't escape, and there was no need to escape. Boluogo had been chasing this devil. He only hoped to get more useful information from this devil.
Boluogo asked, "Between Nothingness? So this place is called Between Nothingness, right?"
The astronaut nodded silently and snapped his fingers again. These devils like to use this elegant and frivolous way to interfere with reality.
In the blink of an eye, a glass of drink appeared in Boluogo's hand. It was shaking slightly, and the sound of the ice cubes clinking could be heard.
Boluogo was processing this massive amount of information, and he felt that his brain was about to explode.
His eyes fell on the chessboard between the two. Boluogo took the white chess first, picked up the white pawn in front of the white king, and moved it forward two spaces.
The astronaut picked up the black pawn in front of the black king, and like Bologg, also pushed it forward two spaces.
Bologg raised his head slightly, and the golden light on the glass mask came into his eyes. Bologg stretched out his hand and pressed it on the white soldier on the side of the king's wing, pushing it forward two spaces, aligning it with the first white soldier, like a shield.
The wall is erected in the center of expectation.
"King's Gambit? I like this old opening."
The astronaut's voice was full of interest, "I thought you wouldn't do this."
"Just basic knowledge."
While Bologo responded, he looked at the chessboard seriously and separated the chessboard from the center line. The side with the king is called the king's wing, and the side with the queen is called the queen's wing.
The first time Bologo came into contact with Othello was not long after he joined the Order Bureau. He was led by Jeffrey to play a game. On the black and white chessboard, Geoffrey explained to Bologo the rankings of condensers.
.
Pretending to be calm on the surface, Bologo's mood has become slightly nervous. In fact, since Jeffrey explained the rank to himself, Bologo has never touched Reversi again, and his knowledge of Reversi is only
From the rule book, as for the opening of King's Gambit, it can only be said that Boluo Ge has a good memory.
Boluogo mentally recalled the explanation of the kingside pawn abandonment in the rule book, "Abandoning white pawns in exchange for an advantage on the kingside."
"It was a good choice and a very bad choice."
The astronaut put his hand on the black pawn in the center of the chessboard, which was isolated in front of the white pawn shield wall, "taking risks in exchange for advantages, risks and benefits coexist."
The black pawn advanced diagonally forward, and the moment the two chess pieces collided, the white pawn was annihilated into gray dust, spreading all over the chessboard.
"I accept your surrender."
Following the astronaut's words, the black soldiers and the white soldiers stood side by side, like knights about to duel.
Bologg looked at the dust on the chessboard, and strange fantasies arose in his heart, as if the chessboard was a real battlefield, and Bologg had just abandoned someone...
It was Bologg's turn to play chess, but this time Bologg seemed hesitant in playing chess. No matter how Bologg tried to recall, he could never remember the subsequent chess records.
But Boluogo had to act.
Pick up the white horse on the back wing and leap forward.
The astronaut saw through Boluogo at a glance and said, "I made a mistake. It turns out you are a novice."
"Can't you see if I'm a newbie or not?"
Boluogo gestured to the screen on one side and stopped pretending.
"I'm not watching you all the time...at least when you're living your private life, I'm not watching you." The astronaut shook his head. In this situation, his words actually sounded a bit funny, "
I'm not like my brother, whose obsession with 'story' has reached a crazy level."
The astronaut picked up the black queen and continued, "But it's reasonable, after all, this is his nature."
The black queen attacks the corner of the king's wing and loses the protection of the white soldiers. The white king's door opens wide and is locked by the black queen.
"General."
The astronaut's voice struck Bologg's heart, and now Bologg understood what it meant to take risks.
Boluogo raised his hand and pushed the white pawn in front of the white horse on the king's wing forward one space, blocking the black queen's attack route and saving the white king.
"You should practice this game more, I think it's fun."
The astronaut said lightly, and then the black soldiers continued to advance diagonally forward, crushing the white soldiers that Bologo had just mobilized. This time, there were a few more drops of blood in the scattered gray dust.
"I think it's boring."
Boluogo raised the king's white horse and lowered it. This time, the black queen entered the attack range of the white horse. Ruoyouruowu's hoof prints appeared above the black queen, waiting to fall fiercely.
"It's quite a pity that your interests and mine are not the same."
The astronauts continued to push the black soldier forward, and now it was only one step away from the bottom line.
Bologg had already noticed the astronaut's purpose, but it was too late. As the astronaut said, Bologg was a complete novice. After experiencing all kinds of weirdness and high pressure, Bologg had no energy left.
Not much.
With no other choice, Bologna moved the white knight and chose to capture the black queen. At the moment when the two chess pieces collided, Bologna vaguely heard the roar of the knight drawing his sword to kill, and the woman's wail of painful death.
The black queen scattered into dust and disappeared, but in its original position, where the white horse was at this moment, a scarlet blood hole appeared there, and the gurgling blood flowed outward, staining the side of the king's wing red.
Under the heavy helmet, obsessive laughter sounded. The black soldier continued to advance diagonally forward. This time it crushed the white car in the corner and reached the bottom line.
The astronaut and Burlogo whispered in unison.
"Ascension."
This time there was no weird and bloody abnormality. Instead, a golden sheen covered the black soldiers. The white car shattered into dust, but the dust rose up one after another and covered the black soldiers. In the faint chant,
It casts a new black queen.
"I surrender."
Boluogo gave up. His king wing had been destroyed and the chess pieces were defeated. Continuing would only add to the fun of the astronauts.
Boluogo didn't want to satisfy the devil so easily.
"It's not fun to bully a newbie."
The astronaut also nodded, and the entire chessboard turned into dust and returned to the earth.
The two of them returned to their original appearance, except that the chairs were separated quite a bit.
Boluogo had imagined countless times what he should do when he faced this devil. He would draw his sword and scold endlessly... Boluogo had thought about these things, but when he really faced this devil
Only then did Boluogo realize rationally that there was nothing he could do.
At least that's the case for the time being.
Borlog felt that the astronaut wouldn't mind letting him punch and kick him, but it looked like the incompetent rage of a child, and Borlog didn't want to become so embarrassed.
The silence between each other lasted for a long time. In the silence, Bologg thought of the tyrant, that rare devil who could talk rationally. Then Bologg thought of Palmer.
What would Palmer do if he were here?
Boluogo sighed deeply and said to himself, "If you are regarded as my boss, then I am an employee who owes you a lot of money, but I don't understand how on earth I got along with you.
The connection you made."
"Hmm...I know," the astronaut nodded, "are you asking about the part about the transaction?"
"Of course," the conversation between the two went smoothly, and Bologg began to regard the astronaut as another tyrant, a more mysterious tyrant who liked to play chess, "but before that, there is one more thing."
"What?"
"What do you call it?"
The astronaut was stunned. Bologg was sure that he was definitely stunned. The astronaut's movements completely stopped, and he looked at himself with his bloated helmet. After a long time, he couldn't suppress laughter.
"You are indeed the most interesting one! Boluogo!"
The astronaut laughed heartily, and the chair under Bologo hit the astronaut uncontrollably. The two became intimate again. He hugged Bologo and hit his helmet on the head.
, clinging to each other, as if the two are good brothers who have not seen each other for a long time.
