Global Games: Old Chess Players

Chapter 267 Before the Dragon Comes, A Farewell Kiss

On May 5, the afternoon before the arrival of the snow dragon, Cosimo came to Huanjing with a travel pass and visited Ansenlu, and the two met in the park.

"Find a quiet place to sit, I want to talk to you." Cosimo said with his head down, "I don't want others to know that we are together."

"Okay, let's go." An Senlu glanced at Cosimo, and then took Cosimo for a walk around Beijing, and found a coffee shop to sit down.

He pushed open the wooden door with the "Business" sign hanging on it. The bell swayed and made a clear sound. The afterglow of the setting sun fell into the dim coffee shop, illuminating the oil paintings framed in mahogany frames and the empty old wood. Making tables and chairs.

There were still a few customers sitting in the coffee shop, but when the store manager saw An Senlu and the two entering, he was surprised at first, and then immediately started to rush the customers.

"Boss, what do you mean, we haven't finished our coffee yet?"

"Yeah, how can you open a coffee shop like this?"

"Go, go, when can't you drink coffee?" The store manager picked up a cigarette and said cursingly:
"Today I can't open this broken place, you all hurry up and go away."

After finishing speaking, those customers were still annoyed at first, but when they saw An Senlu and Cosimo, they froze on the spot and immediately understood the store manager's intentions, so they walked away in despair. group photo.

Anson's attitude is very gentle and patient.

They immediately became more cheerful. Although tomorrow may be the end of the world, it is not a loss to have a group photo with the number one in the world.

Take ten thousand steps back, and it will be a souvenir before the earth explodes.

The store manager stared at the two people who walked into the store, took a deep breath, and called out to the attic above the coffee shop:
"Xia Mingwei, come down quickly and help close the store door. The store will not be open tonight. Also, let's see what these two customers need."

"Here, why are you in such a hurry?" A teenager quickly came down from the attic. He glanced at An Senlu and Cosimo, his expression changed immediately, and then he looked at the store manager.

The store manager gave him a look, Xia Mingwei quickly reacted, closed the store door, and turned the "Open" sign outside the door into "Close".

In the coffee shop with warm orange light, Anson Deer and Cosimo were sitting opposite each other. Although Lorenzo's funeral had passed a week ago, Cosimo still seemed depressed.

An Senlu asked the store manager for two drinks, then held his chin and quietly played with his mobile phone.

Soon, Xia Mingwei came with a plate and handed over two glasses of orange juice with ice cubes on the plate.

The reason why it was orange juice, not coffee, or wine, was because he had read an interesting interview that these two strongest players in the world didn't drink alcohol, they only drank orange juice.

"Shall we go up?" Xia Mingwei walked back behind the counter and asked the store manager.

"No, they don't seem to be here to discuss any confidential matters, otherwise they wouldn't be here to chat." The store manager said.

"it is good."

"This world is really crazy..." The store manager glanced at the two of them and sighed in a low voice: "Let two children bear billions of lives."

"Then it's not just billions, the whole earth is about to explode." Xia Mingwei returned the empty plate and said flatly, "Boss, wash the dishes tonight."

"Okay, okay, are you going to the movies again?"

"Well, it's rare to make some money part-time."

"It's almost the end of the world, are you still thinking about that bad movie?"

"The end of the world doesn't affect my watching movies, okay? It can let me watch a few more movies on my own, at least I don't have to worry about my wallet."

"Although I said that, you still don't go out tonight. There are probably not many theaters open. Now all those crazy people are jumping out. They are either burning things or smashing things. The world will end tomorrow. They Crazier than anyone else."

"It's okay, I'll try my best to avoid it." Xia Mingwei picked up a chocolate bar and said expressionlessly:

"The movie tickets have already been booked. If that movie theater is really closed, I will give them two negative reviews of [-] characters overnight."

"Brat, it's almost the end of the world. Maybe the earth will collapse tomorrow. People still care about your bad review, right?"

"There's nothing to worry about." Xia Mingwei shrugged, and said slowly: "These two world No. dragon?"

Anson Deer gently stirred the ice cubes in the orange juice with a spoon, while listening to the two whispering. After the level gradually increased, he had almost superhuman hearing, so he could hear what the two were saying clearly .

In fact, as they said, since Lorenzo and a group of sequence players died in the copy of the Tower of Babel, people all over the world are in panic.

Under such circumstances, villains who fish in troubled waters are naturally indispensable. Even though the authorities rely on sequence players to forcibly maintain order, riots are still happening all over the world, and the crime rate has risen sharply in just a few days.

But An Senlu didn't bother to care about it. All this has nothing to do with him. As long as they spend tonight, whether they live or die will be completely settled.

Since there is nothing you can do about the chaotic status quo, there is no need to care about other things. It is enough to focus on the last battle right now.

Cosimo looked depressed, but he retorted casually: "Well, what we drink is orange juice, not coffee, and it has no refreshing effect."

"Sorry, I was wrong." Xia Mingwei took a sip of boiled water.

"I'm really not afraid of someone slapping you to death." The store manager said angrily.

"I'm only 16 years old, and I haven't obtained the player qualification. They shot me to death to make news."

"Go, go, bastard, you dare to speak so aggressively in front of them, go upstairs and read a book, and don't cause trouble for me."

The store manager patted Xia Mingwei on the back angrily and laughed, and drove him to the attic.

An Senlu laughed twice, thinking that the relationship between the grandfather and grandson is really good.

However, he also knew that what Xia Mingwei said just now was satirizing himself and Cosimo.

After all, the two people who people all over the world put their hopes on, went to the coffee shop to pass the time the night before the big war, and the dog shook his head when he heard it.

An Senlu himself skipped a meeting or two because of this, Team Jiang is probably still looking for him all over the world, if he hadn't blocked the message notification tone, Jiang Yijie's messages would have already filled his sights.

However, since Cosimo asked him to come out, there was no reason for him not to come out.

He took a sip of orange juice, the cold liquid entered his throat, and then he asked slowly:

"So, brother Cosimo, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Cosimo was silent for a long time, lowered his eyelids, and said hoarsely:

"I'm still thinking... If I can be stronger, then my brother won't die, and the same goes for Shendai Liuli. Everyone I care about, I haven't been able to protect them well."

An Senlu sighed lightly: "Tomorrow's boss battle, just win it. Well, it's for your brother, and it's also for Shendai Liuli."

"Why, you are always so calm?" Cosimo asked, "You are always so calm, even when the Icelandic girl left."

"You don't seem to understand." An Senlu lowered his voice and said almost word by word: "We carry the whole world on our shoulders, you don't know that I was trampled on by that dragon like a defeated dog before." The ground has been ravaged once, this is the second time, I will not allow myself to fail."

"But can we really win?"

"We have to win, no matter the cost."

"But... if we win, they won't come back?"

An Senlu was dumbfounded. He took a deep breath and said after a long time: "Then we must try our best, right?"

"Anson deer, do you trust me?"

"Of course I believe you." An Senlu raised his chin, "If you're not here, what should I do with the dragon tomorrow? Let me carry it alone?"

After a long silence, Cosimo lowered his eyelids and said:
"I also believe in you. To be honest, I didn't have much confidence when my brother left, but when I think of you still here, I think we still have hope."

"That's good, come on, cyber kid." Anson Lu paused, and said unhappily: "No, you shouldn't be called a kid now, you are already the captain of the law enforcement team."

Cosimo raised his head slowly, with a bright light in his blue eyes.

"Well, I'm going back. My mech needs to be adjusted with the materials exploded in the Tower of Babel dungeon to prepare for tomorrow's battle."

"Okay, then that's all for tonight." An Senlu said, "We'll talk about the rest after killing the white dragon tomorrow, and I should go back, Team Jiang is about to blow up my phone , if you are scolded, I will say it is all your fault."

"It doesn't matter." Cosimo curled his lips and stood up, "Then I'll be leaving, bye, Anson Deer." After speaking, he returned to New York using the mechanism of travel rolls.

"Little brat is really... annoying enough."

Seeing that Cosimo had finally left, An Sen Lu slumped on the back of the chair, heaved a long sigh of relief, and drank the orange juice, which was regarded as drinking the orange juice.

"It's annoying, and it will expose my pain... What do you mean if I win, they can't come back." An Senlu looked at the ceiling and murmured in a low voice: "Even if they don't want to come back, I will get them out of the ground." Pull them back one by one."

After speaking, he walked out of the coffee shop without looking back.

"Boss, I didn't bring any money with me, so I'll charge it to my account first, and I'll come back and pay it back when the white dragon is dried up tomorrow."

An Senlu's last words fell, and the door of the coffee shop closed with a "bang".

The store manager who was sitting behind the counter and listening to the radio, couldn't help but snorted coldly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

"The children of today..."

Late at night on this day, the national team building, the meeting room on the No.19 floor.

The sensor door opened slowly, An Senlu lowered his head, and slowly stepped into it, and found that Uesugi Asuka was half-sitting on the table, waiting for him.

"Where have you been?" Asuka said angrily, "Team Jiang has been looking for you for a long time."

"Cosimo asked me to meet and said that he didn't want others to know, so I temporarily blocked the information."

As An Senlu said, he opened the friend list, and as expected, his information had exploded, and he skipped several meetings tonight because of Cosimo.

Of course... Cosimo probably missed more meetings.

"I said, tomorrow is the World Boss battle." Uesugi Asuka stared at him, "How are you preparing?"

"Well, everything that should be prepared has been prepared, and there are only two uncertain factors left."

"Two uncertainties?"

"Yes, one is the chess set given to me by the principal, and there is a final-level chess piece called 'Deer of the Last God' in it, and the skill effect is unknown." Anson Lu explained, "One is the mythical sequence of Anubis, I don't know what the second skill does."

"Then we can only try it in actual combat?"

"Well, the skills of the Deer of the End and the Mythic Sequence can only be used once, and now they are gone."

"It's so strange..."

"It's very strange, but it might have a miraculous effect." An Senlu teased, "Go to bed early, or you will fall asleep tomorrow, and you will have to share in the blame for the extinction of mankind."

Asuka burst out laughing, hugging her belly: "Ha, I really admire you, you can still be so optimistic in this kind of time."

"Well, well, the big deal is that the earth will be destroyed, and we will go to the universe to eat dust together."

"That's fine too."

"Are you serious?"

"Hmm..." Asuka put her hand on her chin, "As long as I can be with you, so what if I float in the universe and wait to die?"

There was a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she had no fear, and there was relief in those eyes that were as nimble as blue birds.

"I'm joking, Asuka, let's be serious."

An Senlu scratched the bridge of his nose, and suddenly became stern: "I don't have time to travel through the game. If it's over this time, it's really over. Tomorrow's battle, we will absolutely..."

His voice stopped abruptly as Uesugi Asuka grabbed his arm, pressed her lips to his, and kissed him lightly.

In the conference room glowing with cool tones, An Senlu's back was pressed against the wall, and he let out a muffled grunt.

Asuka let go of him quickly, strands of brown hair shading her eyes.

Both of them lowered their heads and remained silent for a long time.

Asuka averted her eyes from his face and broke the silence:

"Ansenlu, let me say, what if I met you earlier... If so, would you choose me?

"Won't you keep pretending in front of me?
"If it was me earlier, would you have grabbed my hand?

"Aren't you going to look back at me instead of walking forward?"

An Senlu opened his mouth slightly, the words seemed to be stuck in his throat.

He just stood quietly against the wall, his brown eyes were dim, and there was still a warm and soft touch on his lips.

"This is, the last time."

Asuka put her hands behind her back, lowered her head, and said softly:

"It's my last waywardness, because... I don't know if there will be a tomorrow, so I don't want to leave any regrets, please forgive me."

It was rare for her not to cry, and her face was very calm, with a peaceful smile.

An Senlu still didn't speak, Asuka left the meeting room, the footsteps gradually faded away, and the sound of the sensor door closing fell.

"Asuka, you really are..."

He breathed a sigh of relief, feeling exhausted, and slowly sat down against the wall.

"A big idiot."
