The work of the Go master

It is roaring in the East, and the fortunes of the ocean and its surrounding areas are shrouded in its infamy.

With just this one cryptic statement, the rest was left to Ke Zhiguang's imagination, which was fortunately one of his strengths.

To understand this sentence, we need to start with Xue's first sentence, which is, "We are being threatened, please help us."

When it roars, it also sends threats to its surroundings, thus affecting the fortunes of everything that depends on nature.

I saw a similar expert lecture in the news before, saying that the climate this year will be very abnormal, especially in the Pacific region, where the La Niña and El Niño effects will reach their strongest levels ever.

This unusual blizzard is just the beginning of the year; climate disasters will be frequent throughout the rest of the year.

At first, Ke Zhiguang thought that "we" referred to the Snow Clan, but now it seems that it refers to the entire natural climate.

This "it" has the power to shake the entire natural world's climate. Perhaps the only thing with this power can be a dragon?

Item 3: [Warning Message]

"Evil dragon, you are waiting for me in the Pacific Ocean."

This is a string of cards written in red ink, casually reflecting the playful style of quantum mechanics.

The Pacific Ocean.

Evil dragon.

These two key elements combined are enough for Ke Zhiguang to call this game a horror game, or even a disaster movie.

Tatsumi Koshikawa, the man who survived the Pacific cruise ship accident, has become a figure behind this blizzard.

He is using his power as a dragon, along with the many spirits of the underworld in his house, to do something in the Pacific Ocean. His actions have caused climate chaos, which has ultimately affected this tourist town in Hokkaido, bringing about a blizzard.

An ability so terrifying it defies description.

Then I recalled the fleeting tsunami scene when I watched the Godzilla videotape before.

He might actually trigger a tsunami.

So far, the only two dragons I've killed are the Demon Dragon and King Ghidorah, but even those two dragons were somewhat of a mixed bag.

Both of them became artificial dragons with impure bloodlines only with the help of spirits from the underworld.

In Zezi's game, he had a good chance to win until the very last moment, but he ruined his own game. This was closely related to his terrible mentality. The immense pressure of winning or losing made him too nervous to think at the last moment.

In the game where he lost, his technical skills were undoubtedly impeccable, but he also made a mistake in his mentality at a crucial moment. When Ke Zhiguang activated the sacrificial mode, a few skillful moves cracked his arrogant and fragile mentality, and it took him a long time to recover.

If Shiwu can carry a powerful heart from beginning to end, even if Ke Zhiguang activates the sacrifice mode, it may not be so easy for him to turn the tide against his opponent.

As for Tatsumi Koshikawa, he is a true pure-blooded dragon, a man who transforms into a dragon without relying on any underworld tools, but solely through his own genius and hard work, plus protagonist-level luck. He is impeccable in terms of technique, and his mentality is as sharp as a dragon's claw.

The more you push this kind of person to the brink, the more excited they become, just like the smile they show when they decide to abandon a piece in a disadvantageous situation.

Thinking of this, Ke Zhiguang gazed at the distant sky as if lost in thought.

Today's weather is exceptionally clear, the best it's been since winter began in Hokkaido, but even such weather can be shattered at any moment by the roar of a dragon.

The fortune attached to the way of chess has shaped the prosperity of the chess world and given power to many madmen.

But ultimately, what exactly is fortune?

Is it simply luck, or is it actually some kind of metaphysical concept?

What is the relationship between the god of quantum mechanics and them?

It has been almost a year since he embarked on the path of Go. On this path to immortality, he has reached a very high position. Now, all that remains before him are those few supreme peaks.

However, the unfolding of a worldview is often like this: it is not the pyramid shape that one imagines, where the higher one goes, the fewer unknown areas there are. Instead, it is the shape of an olive. In the middle layer, there are the most mysteries and questions, but as one continues to go up this critical line, the number of mysteries decreases rapidly.

Although he has already reached the upper echelons of the group, he feels that he is still in the middle stage of his progress. If this were a 24-episode anime, the progress bar would probably still be at episode 12.

Even now, many people have never even seen his shadow; they've only witnessed him in the news and newspapers.

For example, Inoue Seiya, Kiko Seinoka, and several other title holders, as well as Hanno-sensei. When these people start to appear in front of him one by one, it may mean that the story is about to come to an end.

Oh, right, there's more.

For example, the dragon-locking pillar behind Harushima Deer.

What will happen after the chains on that pillar are unlocked?

Strictly speaking, the first mystery I encountered since embarking on my journey in Go was the mystery behind Harushima Kashima.

Will it turn into a boss and allow me to fight it?

Pulling back from my wild speculations, I continued picking up prop four—

[Fortune Tips]

Chapter Twenty-Two: Goodness, I can't believe I ran into you here?

This "tips" is filled with a string of mystical and rambling words.

"The more people know about a secret, the more its value diminishes. When a secret is known to everyone, it loses its mystery as a secret."

"But conversely, a secret is meaningless if only one person knows it."

After reading just those two sentences, the outer layer of the tip card suddenly began to peel off, revealing its inner layer.

[A Witness to History]

It suddenly transformed into a greeting card-shaped card with a gold-plated edge, on which Ke Zhiguang's past missions were recorded like a diary.

From the demon dragon to the ghost king, from Ghidorah to the snow woman, each event is vividly depicted with a highly rhetorical touch. The entire story is told from a god-like perspective, highlighting everyone's inner thoughts and current emotions, as if a pair of eyes were watching everything from above the high school, complete with detailed date records.

Several rows below were left empty to make room for tasks that would be needed later.

[The Giant of Light's identity is only revealed in the last few episodes] - This is the final explanation.

[Under specific conditions, the usage mechanism is automatically triggered] - This is the usage method.

Ke Zhiguang examined the small card in front of him, pondering the meaning of the god of quantum mechanics.

To put it simply, it's not appropriate to reveal my experiences of battling strange things all along, nor is it appropriate to reveal the secret of my fortune.

When the time is right, this card will automatically take effect.

By then, everyone around him will receive this information, and his series of legendary deeds will be known to everyone around him... Thinking about it this way, it really is the path of the Giant of Light.

Thinking about it this way, Ke Zhiguang actually had some insights.

Legends and stories should always be remembered by everyone. If they are only kept hidden away and concealed, they can only be considered personal memories, belonging to the burial objects to be taken to the coffin.

Everything you do will eventually become a light, seen by others, just like the title "A Witness to History".

As for the conditions that trigger it... we'll probably have to wait until the last few episodes.

If it says it's not the right time yet, then believe it. Anyway, Ke Zhiguang doesn't have any strong opinions on this matter, so there's no harm in it.

In summary, the main reward from this mission was the [Snow Woman Doll]. If I had to pick one, the vodka dropped by Xiong Ying would also count.

This bottle of vodka is a potential trap. If you recklessly drink it and enter the so-called burning state, you won't be able to pass the hot spring test. Even if you drink Häagen-Dazs, it will only neutralize the state.

The best way to deal with it is to divide it up now and treat it as a celebration for completing your mission. Although local laws prohibit minors from drinking alcohol, it should be fine to sneak a sip.

With a team full of delicate girls, can they really withstand the heat of vodka?

If they actually get them drunk and cause something serious, I might end up in jail again.

Finally, Ke Zhiguang's gaze fell on the snow woman doll, and he tossed it around a couple of times.

This afternoon's itinerary depends on it.

.....

......

After a morning of clear skies, the sky began to turn cloudy in the afternoon.

This kind of weather is normal in Hokkaido at this time of year; everything has returned to normal.

Ke Zhiguang chose to temporarily leave the team and went to the designated location alone.

This place is located not far from the ski resort I visited the day before yesterday. It's an area filled with mansions, which could be considered a semi-wealthy neighborhood.

Its size is probably somewhere between Suneo's and Nobita's houses.

Find the exact coordinates of the villa based on the address, but a closed iron gate blocked your way.

But a brand new key was stuck in the door lock.

It seems the key was already inserted just before I arrived.

Ke Zhiguang, acting like the owner, turned the key, pushed open the door, and was greeted by rising steam.

The villa's private hot spring is already in operation.

So it really does come with its own maid?

Ke Zhiguang approached the hot spring and probed for information on it.

【Warm current in winter】

Every winter, when you come here, a hot spring awaits you.

It's a very cozy hot spring, only a few square meters in size, like a home-use inflatable swimming pool. This kind of thing has appeared in many Japanese works.

Lying in a hot spring like this, gazing at the starry sky, must feel wonderful.

After surveying the villa from the snow-covered lawn, Ke Zhiguang entered the villa through the front door.

The key to the entrance hall is also ready.

The villa was spotless, but there was little furniture, so it seemed that one would have to furnish and prepare it themselves.

A document was placed on the coffee table in the living room. When it was opened, it turned out to be a property certificate, with the name in the name column all being the owner's.

This is... a bit too thoughtful; it's even risen to the level of legal principles.

Ke Zhiguang placed the snow woman doll he had brought on a small round plate on the coffee table, and finally put his hands together in prayer, which was considered the offering completed.

Suddenly, as if a power source had been switched on, the villa's lights came on, and the heating system began to hum.
