Modern Onmyoji

Chapter 264 Destiny Chess Game
"Wait! You wait first!" I hastily interrupted Sun Dasheng.

"What's the matter? Is there anything I didn't understand? It's just that we've been separated by 20 years, so our understanding of technology shouldn't be that far behind." Sun Dasheng said strangely.

"I understand what you said, but according to what you said, this thing should be a product of modern technology." I said, "Then how could it appear in such a place? You mean someone has already come here first , and set up such a mechanism?"

"No, it's impossible to be specific." Sun Dasheng said, "What I'm talking about is just a theoretical thing. If humans can really make this kind of material, then a space elevator has already been made. I just Explain this thing in modern language, in short, you can understand it as an extremely thin line with abnormal strength.”

"I heard that what you said is clear and logical, so there should be some good way to deal with it." I asked.

"Use fire. This kind of nano-level thing is actually very easy to burn." Sun Dasheng said, and took out a flare.The large flare itself is an incendiary bomb, and after being thrown directly, it quickly turns into a ball of fire in the air.The fire ball just fell to the ground, and Sun Dasheng and I looked at each other, we didn't know what we did.Facing this invisible threat, no one is sure.In the end, I still used Sun Dasheng's previous method, holding a paper tube like a guide stick and groping forward.But I soon found that there was nothing, and more importantly, my sense of crisis disappeared.

Seeing me, Sun Dasheng walked over like that, and he also felt relieved and ran after me.We should be on the second floor now, and soon we will reach the stairs, both up and down.This is not like a tomb passage, more like a real palace.You can choose many.This is also the horror of the maze, he provides you with a lot of choices.But your target is hidden in it.

"Let's go up and have a look first." I thought for a while and said, and soon as we got deeper, we found that this place is really like a living residence, with corridors and rooms.There is no respect for death like a tomb, but only a breath of life.The difference from the actual living space is that it's just too dark here.If the lights are turned on, it may really become a hotel-like existence.Perhaps this is Qinglong's original intention. This is not his mausoleum, but a place where his soul lives temporarily.In other words, it is a palace, which gives people a feeling that this god is not dead at all.Maybe we will meet him while walking.

However, the silence was soon broken by an even weirder voice.There was a rustling sound, like some kind of reptile sliding on the ground.Sun Dasheng and I held our breath subconsciously, and gradually saw a tall figure walking by the corner of the corridor in front.The height was more than three meters, and the heavy armor on his body made a clicking sound as he moved.The moment Sun Dasheng saw him, he burst out violently.A punch directly hit the guy on the top of the head, and the violent force directly knocked the guy's head flying.The blood rushes away for several meters.

"What is this?" I asked strangely.

"The tomb guards here." Sun Dasheng said, "We met them when we first entered the tomb of the Azure Dragon. Those murals and stone statues have turned into real monsters that can move. We even had a firefight because of this. Look There are also tomb guards inside. Be careful on the road ahead.”

"I've also heard from them about this matter. Are these things highly effective? You used heavy firepower to suppress them, so you naturally have an advantage. Now there are only two of us." I asked.

"Different types have different combat capabilities." Sun Dasheng thought for a while and said, "But the strongest is only the strength of the B-level super zongzi. If we are together, there will be no problem."

Sure enough, in the following section of the road, we encountered many such grave guards.Some of them jumped out of the murals, while others were transformed from stone statues.But we soon discovered that the structure here is a bit too strange.Finally I stopped Sun Dasheng and said, "Wait, did you pay attention to the terrain here?"

"Terrain? What's the matter? Is there any Qimen Dunjia here?" Sun Dasheng asked strangely.

"It's not Qimen Dunjia, but—how should I put it?" I hesitated and thought for a while before saying, "Maybe you haven't realized it yet, but I have a very clear feeling that the information I have encountered so far is in my mind As if analyzing instinctive logic, I came to the conclusion that this place is like a chessboard."

"The chessboard?" Sun Dasheng was stunned for a moment, then looked around again, "What do you mean, those grave guards are all chess pieces?"

"That's right." I nodded.

"How is it possible? A chess game requires at least two or more people to fight against each other. Up to now, we have only met one side—" When he said this, Sun Dasheng was stunned as if he had realized something. After a long time, he said, "You mean we are the other party."

"It's understandable," I said.

"This is a bit ridiculous." Sun Dasheng couldn't help but said, "What's the point? Our own combat power is enough to deal with all the chess pieces, so this is an unfair game. Our existence itself makes this The chess game itself is meaningless."

"I'm talking about hypotheses, just like military chess. Every chess piece has a level. And we are the commander in military chess. The biggest one, then we should look down on it." I said.

"What's the point of that? We have the initiative, and there is absolutely no need to follow the rules. What will happen if the commander of one side can not follow the rules in military chess? Just kill to the end. There is no need for Qinglong to do this It’s something that’s going to explode in our favor.”

"Do you feel that you are walking according to your own consciousness?" I suddenly showed a sly smile, "This is the limitation of the tomb road Taibao. I can tell you very clearly now that we are going around in circles."

"What!" Sun Dasheng obviously couldn't accept my statement, and said excitedly, "Now we have been walking in the way we are willing to accept."

"This is the illusion effect. The optical effect inside will make people lose easily, and what if the entire space can be mobilized without our knowledge. We already know that the ancient gods have the ability to control space. Ability, it is completely possible to make this kind of confusion in space."

"Well, it is indeed possible. But, according to what you said, there is still someone controlling us. Who is controlling us? Qinglong? Or—" When he said this, Sun Dasheng shut his mouth all of a sudden.I have seen the answer from his surprised expression.

"That's right, it's Alina who came in earlier." I said, subconsciously looking up.Although it was dark, I still had a smile on my face.At the same time, in another space independent from here, Alina faced the huge huge chessboard in front of her, and felt her heart tremble when she saw the scene of the chess piece that symbolized the demigod.It is such a strange person, why is there such an indescribable excitement in my heart when I see her smile?Oh, by the way, his name is Zhao Jue.It was his lover before he lost his memory.But it is obviously an unforgettable lover, why do I have no impression at all?
No, now is not the time to be distracted.Through the memory that I don't know where it came from, I know that the gathering in front of me is called Tiandao.It is based on the era of ten thousand years ago. The lowest rank is slaves, and the next ranks are commoners, nobles, kings, priests, totems, demigods, and gods.Originally, I thought I could complete this battle with only my own, but I didn't expect Zhao Jue and Sun Dasheng to break in suddenly.The game of law left by the ancient gods automatically turned them into a chess piece.This way of forcing the life and death of the companion into the battle is too annoying.One of the basic steps in wargames is sacrifice.A chess game cannot be completed without sacrifice.And the pawns with companions, once they become the choice of sacrifice, they will definitely die.This made his subsequent battle situation more restrained.Fortunately, the two of them turned into the whole chess game.

This kind of chess is very similar to military flags, and the gods are like commanders.But in military chess, the commander can die with the bomb, but here it is different, except that the gods can die with the gods, there is no chess piece that can eat him.The difference is that there is a chess piece called fate inside, this kind of chess piece cannot eat any existence, but he cannot be eaten by any chess piece either.A certain chess piece can be trapped to death through some special arrangements.One of the most chess pieces in the Stone of Destiny.Rather than saying that the chess pieces contain destiny, it is better to say that they play chess in the destiny.From slaves to gods, none can escape its shackles.In other words, the battle between slaves and gods is nothing more than a fight under the shackles of fate.The seemingly absurd chess game reveals the unchanging truth from ancient times to the present—or the cruel fact that as long as it exists, it cannot escape the shackles of fate.
