Global Games: Old Chess Players

Chapter 53 Ancaches
On November 11, late at night, in an apartment in Shangshi City.

"Accept the video call." An Senlu yawned and said vaguely.

As the words fell, the chat panel expanded.

Ritsu Urushihara's face appeared on the screen, and his background was a bustling tall building standing side by side like a giant, with a huge LED display embedded on the surface of the tall building.

If you look closely, you can see the famous Tokyo Tower, also known as Tokyo Sky Tree, which is one of the most famous sights in Tokyo.

Not the same as Anson Deer envisioned.

He originally thought that what was reflected on the screen would be the dark prison ceiling, but Ritsu Urushihara only dared to wait for the guard to sleep before secretly calling him, just like a kid whose parents restricted the time to play on his mobile phone.

It's a pity that this product seems to be living a cool life.

"Mr. Lu, I'm sorry to disturb you so late."

"It's okay." An Senlu raised his chin and gnawed a piece of potato chips. "The time difference between Japan and China is only one hour. It's only 1 pm on my side, which is not too late for a night owl like me."

"That's good."

Ritsu Urushihara adjusted the panel so that it was facing his body.

He was wearing a coquettish black tuxedo tonight, and now he was standing on the railing of a suspension bridge. Below the bridge was a deep bay, the sea was back and forth, and the dark sea tide was rising and falling.

"You won't stand on the Tokyo Bay Bridge, will you?" Ansen Lu was startled, "I'll go, Brother Crow, let's talk about something, don't lose hope in this world, can you see another village!"

As we all know, there are countless dead bodies in Tokyo Bay.

Ritsu Urushihara chuckled, feeling in his heart that An Senlu's thinking was still as detached as ever.

"Mr. Lu, how could I have the idea of ​​committing suicide? I just escaped from prison with the 'Phantom Crow'."

"Please, which psychopath would stand on Tokyo Bay and chat like you!"

"That's true." Urushihara Ritsu rested his hand on his chin, as if he was thinking about how to refute.

"But if you really have you, Tokyo Central Prison can let you slip out."

"A piece of cake."

"Beep-"

The horn of the vehicle came from the Rainbow Bridge in Tokyo Bay, and passed through the panel to the ears of An Senlu.

If it was two weeks ago, Anson Lu would never have imagined that there would be a psychopath standing on the railing of the Tokyo Bay Bridge, making a video call with himself with a leisurely face. This is simply insane.
Help
How on earth did I work with this freak for a whole week and start a freak union with him, I'm really fed up wow
The corners of An Senlu's eyes twitched slightly. He calmed down and asked:
"So, why are you looking for me?"

"I found the information about that 'Icelandic girl'."

An Senlu was taken aback, "I almost believed it, how do you investigate in prison?"

Ritsu Urushihara's hair was disheveled by the wind over Tokyo Bay, he said lightly:

"I know a lot of people in the underground world, and some of them are tricks to get them to help me get some information. Of course, the paid ones are fine."

"Niu, so you said last time she was hiding something?"

"For the special sequence 'Snow Country Traveler', the three traits required are-hypermenesia, loss of emotion, and" Ritsu Urushihara paused and said:
"Ancaches Syndrome."

"What is this, it sounds so high-end?" Anson Lu was puzzled.

"Simply put, it's an extremely rare, terminal illness."

"Terminal illness?"

"That's right, this symptom only appeared in a pier village in Iceland," Urushihara said: "That village is located in the north of Iceland called 'Dupivogul', with a sparse population, and Yuri was born there. "

"What and what?" An Senlu said in a daze, "No, why does the system use a terminal illness as a trait that matches a special sequence?"

"Lu Jun, first of all, what I need to tell you is" Urushihara said slowly:

"Patients with Ancaches Syndrome will have two clinical manifestations of 'emotional loss' and 'hypermemory'."

It took Ansenlu a while to realize, "You mean, that is to say, when the system matches the sequence, it actually only uses one of her characteristics?"

Urushihara said with certainty:
"That's right, that's why she hid it from us."

"Then what other manifestations of this terminal illness?" An Senlu asked.

"The hair turns white."

"I'll go, no wonder she has white hair at a young age?" An Senlu said, "Actually, it's just such a small problem, and it doesn't need to be a 'terminal illness'. It doesn't sound very serious."

"So far, there have been only three cases of Ancaches Syndrome. The first case was an Icelandic girl named 'Kaki', who was also born in that pier village." Rushihara said:
"She died on the third day after her birthday. I heard that her death was very miserable. The specific manifestation was that it melted into water like ice, and then evaporated into gas."

"what?"

An Senlu's pupils contracted slightly.

"The performance of the second case is also similar," Ritsu Urushihara said calmly: "Another girl died the day after her full age, and the death was the same as the first case."

"You put this decreasing sequence." Anson Lu said, "Do you want to say that Yuri may die while he is here?"

"That's right, judging from the existing cases, it should be like this."

An Senlu's eyes flickered, and he opened his mouth slightly.

He recalled the side face of the Icelandic girl covered by strands of snow-white hair, and recalled the phrase "thank you".

What she was saying at that time, was she thanking me for going to the Sapporo ski resort to find her alone, or was she thanking me for admitting that I was friends with her.

But it's too humble
Obviously competitive as hell, you can play chess with me for two hours, but you will say 'thank you' to such a small thing
Speaking of Ancaches Syndrome, how do you get along with people in reality if you suffer from this kind of disease? If you are not a freak, you have to be called a freak. It is really funny
I might, really be her first friend.

An Senlu was silent for a long time, and asked softly: "Since this kind of thing has not been reported, it should be that the Icelandic government kept it secret from the outside world. How did you find out?"

"I know a couple of Icelandic gamblers, and the rest is troublesome to explain."

"Okay, so what are you going to do." Anson Lu said:
"We can't save her, can we?"

"I have a lot more to say," Urushihara stared at An Senlu's face, and said almost word for word:
"I want you to hear me out of these things."

"You say, I listen."

"When she was 10 years old, she showed symptoms for the first time. Her father left the family because of fear. As for her mother, after negotiation, she was sold to the Icelandic government for research." Urushihara said flatly. Say:

"After that, she left that marina village and came to Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland."

"Ah."

"In fact, Icelandic medical scientists were helpless against this symptom, and they dedicated her to the capital." Urushihara said lightly:

"White hair, hyperamnesia, lack of emotion, under the marketing of capital, these characteristics make her a child star, frequently appearing on the stage, I think everyone likes geniuses, especially geniuses with defects, because of this It can make them psychologically balanced, can't it?"

"Oh."

"But a year ago, at the age of 16, she withdrew from the stage and disappeared without a trace from the eyes of Icelandic residents." Urushihara said:
"She escaped, but failed to escape. The existence of Ancaches Syndrome made her much weaker than ordinary people. It was impossible for her to escape at that time."

He paused, then continued: "After that, her physical condition worsened, and the Icelandic government did not want to give up this cash cow. She was treated in the hospital for a year."

Anson Deer didn't speak.

"At the end of the day, because too much research money is invested, the progress of the treatment is nowhere in sight."

"When the Icelandic government was already planning to give up her treatment, she awakened a special sequence in the evolution game - Snow Country Traveler, becoming the third special sequence player in the capital of Iceland."

"Because of this, her health has improved, and she was able to leave the hospital bed where she had been staying day after day for the past two years," Qi Yuanli said, raising her dark eyes and staring directly at An Senlu:
"But at this moment, the Icelandic government coerced her to cooperate. As long as she is willing to cooperate with the country's actions, nothing will happen to her mother who is far away in that pier village."

"Ha..." Anson Lu couldn't help laughing:
"No, if you want to talk nonsense, at least you can justify yourself. Her mother has already sold her, so how could she still do it?"

Urushihara interrupted him, "During the past seven years, she always thought that her mother sent her to the government officials so that she could be saved. She always thought so."

An Senlu's voice stopped abruptly, and his face twitched slightly.

"It's sad, isn't it?" Urushihara said slowly:

"First she was a plaything of capital, now she is a puppet of the government, and it will be the same in the future. She has never been free. Perhaps during this time in Hokkaido, she has experienced things that she has never experienced before."

Messy hair covered Ansen's dark brown eyes.

He asked calmly:
"Is she still in the capital of Iceland?"

"Yes." Ritsu Urushihara said:
"And I have good news. Her mother died in the first round of the evolution game, but she was kept in the dark by the Icelandic government."

Anson Lu said softly:

"I understand what you want to do."

"By the way, she deleted my friend. I can't transfer this 'travel pass' to her directly through a transaction. This matter can only be left to you." Urushihara said lightly:

"That's all I want to say. The rest is up to you to judge, Mr. Lu."

"If you think she is not eligible for redemption, then let her become a puppet and spend the remaining half a year. After her value is drained, she will melt into ice and die completely."

"Alternatively, I still have a 'Travel Coupon' on hand, which I got from trading with a Tokyo player. You know what you can do, and the right is in your hands."

Now, cities all over the world are blocked by invisible walls, and only through a prop such as travel rolls can one leave the original city.

Urushihara law means
First of all, let Anson deer go to the capital of Iceland——Reykjavik with the travel coupons at hand, and find Yuri.

Then, An Senlu handed another travel roll to Yuri, asking Yuri to leave Reykjavik and go to the copy elsewhere.

In this way, Yuri will not return to Reykjavik the next time he comes out of the instance.

"It is true that we cannot save her from illness, but we can bring her freedom," Urushihara said.

"So, why did I do this?" An Senlu sighed softly and asked:
"Just because I'm the president you identified?"

"She can only negotiate with you. As for me, if I go to her, she probably won't listen to me, not even a word." Qi Yuanli said it was a matter of course.

"I need evidence." An Senlu said without a doubt, "Evidence that her parents are dead, otherwise I can't convince her to go to Iceland."

"I will give you the evidence, this is a necessary part."

"Also." An Senlu raised his head slowly, revealing the pair of dark brown eyes under the hair, and his voice was extremely cold:
"Crow, if I get to Iceland and find out that the truth is even slightly different from what you said, I will make you pay
heavy price. "

Urushihara was taken aback.

He had never seen Anson Lu show such a look.

In these dark brown pupils, there seems to be a beast that devours people, which is so deep that it is frightening.

"I promise you with my own life, Mr. Lu." Qi Yuanli said slowly:

"It is impossible for me to use any one-sided, incomplete, and untrustworthy information to induce you. If my information is a little bit inconsistent with the facts, then..."

"Okay." An Senlu interrupted him, "The next round of dungeons will start on the 24th. I will use the 'travel pass' to go to the capital of Iceland. Can you persuade the girl with three to say something else?"

"Okay, so I can rest assured."

A brief silence enveloped the two of them.

The sea water in Tokyo Bay is flowing, the traffic on the Rainbow Bridge is like a dragon, and the bustling high-rise buildings in the distance are showing knowledge related to [Evolution Game] on the LED screens hanging from them.

"When I bring that Icelandic girl back to Shangshi City, you should come here too." An Senlu said calmly, "Anyway, you have to avoid the police in Tokyo. It's not very tiring."

Ritsu Urushihara was stunned for two seconds, then smiled and said:
"Of course, it's just that I still have some things to deal with."

"how long?"

Urushihara said thoughtfully, "Well, I will be able to come to Shangshi City almost when the second instance is over. Presumably by then, we will have more than three members."

"How can there be so many freaks on the earth?" Anson Lu said without emotion:

"Our trade union wants to recruit people. First of all, that person is unwilling to obey the government's management. This alone can exclude many players, let alone special sequence players."

"This is the kind of person we want to accept, Mr. Lu." Ritsu Urushihara said lightly, "I admire a lonely and proud soul, not a puppet who is as impersonal as a running dog."

"It sounds so nice," Anson Lu teased. "Actually, it's just a bunch of freaks gathering together to keep warm."

"That's enough." Ritsu Urushihara said, "Special people need special safe havens, and this has always been the case since ancient times."

"Has anyone commented on it? You are just that." Anson Lu paused, and said with disgust on his face:

"The Madonna of geeks."

"Hehe." Ritsu Urushihara chuckled twice:

"If you don't say that, then you are the Jesus of freaks, Mr. Lu. I don't think the guild of 'Hell's Beacon' can be established theoretically without you."

"This is the end of the illness. If we continue talking, our trade union will really change its name to 'Second Disease Exchange Meeting'." An Sen Lu Chang breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"It's time to rest, it's getting late."

"Thank you, Mr. Lu."

"what?"

"Thank you for your trust in me. I think what I just said would be unbelievable to anyone."

"It does sound nonsense. I never thought that the situation of that Icelandic girl would be so complicated." An Senlu said lightly:

"However, I just intuit that you can believe it, and my intuition is generally quite accurate, at least from my birth to now, even" he paused, "I haven't missed a single time."
