Chapter 1532 Karasuma Renya

Everything happened too suddenly.

Before Fōgaya Rei and others nearby could see clearly, Qin Zhibo and the figure disappeared from the portal together.

"what happens?"

"Someone came out!"

Hei Yu Daoyi was the first to arrive at the portal and stood in the center of the light curtain to watch carefully.

However, I couldn't see anything behind it, it was pure black.

"This door may be a one-way mirror. The person on the other side can see what's happening on our side..."

This is what Kuroba Daoyi judged.

"In that case, let's chase after them."

Fūya Rei picked up the submachine gun and was about to rush into the portal.

But as soon as the front of his body touched the door, he was bounced back by a solid touch.

"What!?"

Shuichi Akai also tried to reach out his hand, but found that he couldn't get his hand in at all.

"Get out of my way!"

Koizumi Hongzi shouted at Kuroba Touichi and Akai Shuichi who were standing by the door to retreat, then gathered magical power in her body and rushed towards the portal.

boom!
A red-gold lightning bolt flew out from Koizumi Hongzi's hand and hit the portal.

But the lightning sank into the darkness of the portal like a drop in the ocean, without causing any reaction.

Koizumi Hongzi's pupils widened and suddenly an idea came to her.

"I see!"

"This portal can be controlled manually, and now someone has closed it!"

Furiya Ling looked at Koizumi Hongzi and asked anxiously: "Is there any way to open it again?"

Koizumi Hongzi did not answer immediately, but held her chin up and went into a state of deep thought.

But after thinking for a few seconds, she shook her head helplessly.

"Even the Red Magic Clan does not possess this kind of high-level magic, not to mention that this is a portal set up by the great magician Ebony himself..."

"So you have no way to open it?" Furi Rei didn't understand what magic was or wasn't. All he cared about was the result.

Koizumi Hongzi nodded silently.

The controller of this portal should be behind the door. With her magic power, she is definitely unable to violently break through the portal set up by Ebony.

The only possible way to succeed is to seek help from Tsathoggua in the temple.

But once they awaken Tsathoggua and call upon him for help, the hungry Tsathoggua may demand a sacrifice from them.

And this method is not 100% successful.

After all, Tsathoggua is very lazy. He can only answer the questions of the person concerned, but if the question itself is completely beyond the ability of the person concerned, He will say it directly.

For example: If they could not break Ibonne's magic no matter what they did with their strength, Tsathoggua would only say that it was impossible and would not help them personally.

However, in order to keep some hope, Koizumi Akako did not give up.

She turned and looked at the hieroglyphics engraved on the wall next to the portal and said seriously.

"The ancient Egyptian texts on these walls record Eibon's life. Perhaps there is a section about the portal in them."

"Let me take a look first..."

……

In the quiet space, Qin Zhibo stood there in a daze.

He seemed to be traveling through the universe following a dazzling starlight, and the next second, he appeared here.

What comes into view is a reception room decorated in a classical style.

In the middle of the reception room, a slightly hunched figure sat in a wheelchair with his back to the camera.

"come on……"

"I've been waiting for you for a long time." The old voice echoed in the claustrophobic reception room.

Qin Zhibo looked around and found that all the windows here were sealed.

The only direction that looked like an exit was the wooden door on the other side of the reception room.

After confirming the escape route, Qin Zhibo slowly walked towards the figure.

A chandelier hung from the slightly low ceiling. Under the chandelier, the old man in the wheelchair controlled the wheelchair with both hands and turned around, revealing his true face.

An old face, a signature hooked nose, a gorgeous and elegant black dress, and a half-open collar wrapped in gorgeous white pleated lace.

Vermouth once described Karasuma Renya's appearance, and it was roughly like this.

An old man with extraordinary demeanor, he is intimidating without even getting angry, and even though he has difficulty moving, he still maintains the attire of a British aristocrat.

Of course, the difficulty in moving is more likely a disguise to let the outside world let down their guard.

"You are Karasuma Ren?"

Qin Zhibo walked to a position two meters away from Karasuma Renye and asked.

"Yes."

"If possible, please sit here and play a game with me. We can talk slowly during the game..."

There was a chessboard on the square table in front of Karasuma Renya, and all the black and white pieces on the board were in their positions.

"I'm sorry, but I don't know how to play chess."

Qin Zhibo rejected Karasuma Renya's invitation.

On the one hand, he couldn't fulfill Karasuma Renya's wish now because there might be some trap.

On the other hand, he really didn't know how to play chess, and he didn't even know the specific rules.

"Really? That's a bit surprising..."

"But I have prepared some books about chess for you. You possess some of Yog-Sothoth's authority. It will only take you a few seconds to master the knowledge in these books, right?"

Karasuma Renya reached out and opened the drawer under the chessboard table, inside which lay two books about chess.

At this moment, Qin Zhibo's pupils suddenly dilated and he looked at the old man in the wheelchair in front of him in surprise.

Yog-Sothoth...

The One to whom all things return, the Key to the Door, the original owner of his body had once sought help from this god through a ritual.

The key point is why Karasuma Renya knew that he could master the knowledge in these books within a few seconds?

What else does he know?
In Qin Zhibo's unique vision, faint spots of light were floating on the two books lying in the drawer.

This light spot comes from [Book Survey].

Qin Zhibo quickly calmed his thoughts and reached into the drawer without changing his expression.

He has confirmed through [Topographic Survey] that there are no traps or secret passages here, including the table and chairs in front of him.

Now he wants to see what the boss behind the organization, Karasuma Renya, is up to!

【Book Survey√】

Qin Zhibo stared at the two chess books for a few seconds, and a lot of knowledge about chess flooded into his mind.

Although he has no relevant professional skills, he now has the chess playing ability of a chess master.

Qin Zhibo put the book back into the drawer, sat down calmly, and faced Karasuma Renya.

"Then let's get started..."

Karasuma Renya said calmly.

Qin Zhibo is playing with white pieces, so he should go first.

But just when Qin Zhibo was about to take the chess piece, Karasuma Renya suddenly said, "Let me go first..."

"Although the rules state that white moves first, I was the one who set up the game first, so it's better for me to move first."

Karasuma Renya's words were a double entendre, so of course he was talking about more than just this game of chess.

Qin Zhibo did not respond, but just put his hand down, tacitly agreeing to his proposal.

Karasuma Renya picked up the king's pawn and moved forward two spaces.
