After nine lifetimes of reincarnation, the yandere villainous heroine descends.

In an instant!

Time seemed to pause slightly along the street, and the scene before us became increasingly surreal.

As the illusory blur slowly faded, what Shen Shuchou saw before him was no longer that familiar street.

The surrounding area was vast and open, with a clear blue sky and not a cloud in sight. Not far from him stood a pavilion.

Shen Shuchou knew that he had been drawn into the spiritual world by others.

Shen Shuchou took a deep breath, forcing himself to appear calm, and then slowly began to walk towards the pavilion.

Inside the pavilion, a man in blue sat leisurely on a stone bench, with a chessboard in front of him. Judging from his appearance, he had clearly been waiting for a long time.

"Who are you from? And where is this place?"

Even though Shen Shuchou could deduce that the other party was a member of the Death Court, he could only pretend not to know, because he was temporarily unable to contact that clone.

Dan Chi smiled slightly, gently raised his hand, and gestured for Shen Shuchou to sit down: "Who I am is not so important right now. Why don't we play a game of chess first, and then we can discuss other things?"

Shen Shuchou frowned, but still sat down as instructed.

In an instant!

The surrounding scenery began to change strangely once again.

All he could see was the pavilion he was in, the open space around him, and the sky above him, all changing rapidly.

The chessboard placed on the stone table stretched out in all directions, and in just a few breaths, the two found themselves in an enormous chessboard.

Shen Shuchou quickly scanned his surroundings and found many figures that looked exactly like him. They were all in black, like chess pieces.

Looking towards the single pool, the opposite is a symmetrical white color.

"Now that the game has begun and it is a matter of life and death, only if you can emerge alive from this game will you know who I am."

Dan Chi smiled faintly.

He then disregarded Shen Shuchou's thoughts, for at this point, life and death were in the hands of the game.

As he spoke, he controlled a white piece next to him to rush quickly towards one direction on the chessboard.

The moment the piece was placed, a terrifying pressure descended from the chessboard, heading straight for Shen Shuchou.

With a soft "pfft".

A mouthful of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Shen Shuchou looked up at Shan Chi's hazy, indistinct figure, his mind perfectly clear: this game of chess was fraught with peril for him.

To find a way out of this deadly situation on the chessboard of life and death is undoubtedly extremely difficult.

But attempting to control one's own life and death through this game of chess is by no means an easy task.

At this moment, he has successfully established contact with his clone in the outside world, who is now trying its best to find the entrance to this spiritual world.

All I need to do now is try my best to delay this game.

Shen Shuchou stared intently at the chessboard, deep in thought for a long time, carefully considering how to play against his opponent.

Meanwhile, Shan Chi pulled out a fan from somewhere and began to amuse himself.

He remained completely calm and confident, certain of victory in the game.

Shen Shuchou stared intently for a long time before finally controlling a black piece to slowly fall onto the chessboard.

The moment the piece was placed, a powerful and overwhelming pressure suddenly gathered above the chessboard, surging towards Shan Chi.

"Oh! That's interesting."

Dan Chi remained motionless, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Without even looking, he lightly waved his fan, and a white piece shot out swiftly, like lightning slicing through the dark night sky, colliding fiercely with Shen Shuchou's black piece.

In an instant, a powerful pressure, like the angry roar of an ancient beast, descended, causing ripples to spread across the void around the chessboard.

Shen Shuchou's expression grew increasingly solemn, and the black pieces in his hand moved forward fearlessly, like a lion pouncing on its prey.

Dan Chi's lips curled up slightly, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and several white pieces shot out rapidly like a dazzling meteor shower.

Each one carries a terrifying power capable of crushing vast galaxies.

Layers of oppressive power piled up, like an endless dark abyss attempting to completely devour Shen Shuchou.

Shen Shuchou's breathing became rapid and heavy, all the strength in his body gathered at his fingertips, struggling to control the black pieces to bravely resist the raging storm of oppressive power.

Each move is like a struggle against the vast world.

On the chessboard, light crisscrossed and intertwined, black and white pieces clashed fiercely, and the energy released caused space itself to twist and bend.

The terrifying pressure continued to rage wildly, and Shen Shuchou's body began to tremble uncontrollably, with bright red blood slowly spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Danchi's attack became increasingly fierce and aggressive, and another white piece crashed down.

Shen Shuchou could no longer hold on, and his back was slammed directly onto the ground by the pressure that was like Mount Tai pressing down on him.

Looking again at that enormous chessboard, all the black pieces had been devoured by the white pieces in the single pool, leaving only the original essence of this one piece.

"It seems you have no way of knowing who I am."

Dan Chi chuckled lightly, his words full of disdain.

Shen Shuchou remained silent, waiting patiently as the opportune moment drew near.

"You have truly disappointed me. I thought you would be an interesting person, but now it seems that you are no different from these haters, and are easily defeated."

Dan Chi's face showed deep disappointment, and he was extremely disdainful of Shen Shuchou's performance.

From the start of the game until now, less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he has been crushing his opponent with an invincible and overwhelming force.

Shen Shuchou was like an insignificant ant, easily trampled underfoot.

"What else do you have to say?"

Seeing that Shen Shuchou remained silent, Shan Chi asked a question.

Shen Shuchou simply stared at him with his bloodshot eyes, without uttering a word.

Seeing this, Shan Chi said no more. He put two fingers together, and in an instant, the entire vast chessboard trembled violently.

Countless powerful pressures, like raging waves, converged on this one finger, and then slammed towards Shen Shuchou with overwhelming force.

Shen Shuchou's face remained calm as he gazed at the attack that seemed capable of destroying everything in the world.

It felt as if they would be crushed into dust by this overwhelming pressure at any moment, their lives hanging by a thread.

At this critical juncture, a huge gap was forcibly torn open in the sky above the chessboard.

Countless dazzling rays of light surged in, and a colossal hand that blotted out the sky instantly crushed the terrifying pressure into nothingness.

Dan Chi's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and abruptly stopped waving the fan in his hand.

At that very moment, right under those eyelids, Shen Shuchou struggled to his feet, relying on the strength of that large hand.

He raised his blood-soaked face, a faint smile appearing on his face, and said, "From beginning to end, I knew I could not possibly win this game of chess against you. Of course, you should not try to control my life or death with this game of chess either."

"So you intend to overturn this game?"

Dan Chi also asked with a smile.

"Haven't I even started this yet?"

Shen Shuchou responded.

"Hahaha, very interesting, truly very interesting!"

Suddenly, Shan Chi burst into unrestrained laughter, laughing so hard that tears streamed down his face and his body bent over.

The entire chessboard was filled with Dan Chi's hearty laughter.

After a long, long time, he finally stopped, pointed a finger at Shen Shuchou, and said, "You are truly an extraordinary person. I really have the idea of ​​becoming friends with you."

"But I don't like you."

Shen Shuchou remained calm and smiled slightly.

Dan Chi looked slightly taken aback, and said with a hint of melancholy, "Very well! Let's put this matter aside for now. We will surely have a chance to meet again in the future. Perhaps when that time comes, you will agree to be my friend."

As soon as Shan Chi finished speaking, his body instantly transformed into wisps of white light and vanished into the world.

At the same time, the entire world of the chessboard was also falling apart, turning into countless glittering lights and disappearing before our eyes.

When the view returned to the street, the young man who had been sitting in the steamed bun shop had vanished without a trace.

Shen Shuchou's vision went black again, blood gushed from his seven orifices, and his entire body collapsed with a thud.

But at that moment, a wisp of his consciousness suddenly rushed into the hidden clone.
