I am the devil, I only know how to trade.

"It is indeed SAI."

"That's right, I've played against him before, and his sharp strategy is as impressive as ever."

"I've fought him before. If Touya-senpai saw this, he definitely wouldn't be able to hold back!"

"Who can resist this? The only undefeated player."

"Could it be true? He's mastered SAI's moves so quickly?"

"That shouldn't be the case. SAI is too experienced in Go. The difference in experience and playing style is something this child couldn't possibly achieve."

“I checked for Jin Tengming, and he was clearly just an ordinary first-dan.”

Jin Tengliang looked on with a worried expression. What if his father lost...

He really will retire; given his personality, he's absolutely capable of doing it. That would be so tragic!

Who would have thought that a seemingly unreliable young man could actually defeat the renowned Go master?

"SAI, we won."

As soon as Akira Touya finished speaking, a voice came from inside.

The Kisei Shinto was defeated!

…………

"SAI, you are SAI!" Hikaru Shindo exclaimed excitedly, "Boy, I know there is a ghost behind you. Can I talk to him? I can't see him or hear him, but I know he's right there! No wonder, no wonder you know the account, no wonder you can make such a move in such a short time."

"I'm sorry, I was too excited at first and didn't expect this to be possible!"

"Sai, why can't I see you anymore? Why did you leave? Please come back, I'll let you play all my games from now on! No, you can play with whomever you want, please come back."

"We're searching for the Divine Hand together, and I've already gotten close to it!"

Fujiwara Sai was taken aback.

His argument actually seems to hold water!

Indeed, wasn't that how it was between him and me before?

So, does this mean I can exploit a loophole? And tell him this way?

“Phew, that’s right, but he can’t go back.” Sai nodded and smiled. “He’s helping me play Go. From now on, this name and everything I own will belong to Fujiwara Sai. He doesn’t hate you. He left because he couldn’t be seen by anyone back then, until he met me, an ordinary Go player also named Fujiwara Sai.”

“He never hated you. Before he disappeared, he was just unwilling to accept that his existence only allowed you to see the hand of God. Now, he has returned, returned to find it for himself.”

"Great! Come to my house, let's have a good talk. I haven't seen him in so long. In that last game, you, you... why did you make that move? Why did I make that move? I don't understand!"

Chapter 470 Harvesting, One Pit Three

Hikaru Shindo suddenly felt as if he had lost something very important.

It's like the math, physics, and chemistry you learn in high school; when you get older, you forget everything you learned in school. You might say you know them, but you might not.

When he signed the contract, it only involved talent, not his soul or lifespan.

He had that feeling at the time, but he took it as his own thought. If he were to retire, he would definitely retire; if he lost, he wouldn't be able to play chess anymore.

But what he was thinking was that he wouldn't play chess in competitions, not that he would never play chess again.

Here, Oreki Kimie used a trick. She was not as strong as Luo Feng, so she could only resort to this kind of trick, which is also a common trick of demons.

Hikaru Shindo has been caught!

Oreki Kumie was overjoyed; her first order was a success!

She pushed open the door and came in.

She had already driven away the person who was passing on the game; the official explanation was that the Kisei (Kisei) had something to say to Fujiwara no Sai.

Akira Touya was full of questions. He had anticipated that Hikaru Shindo had something to say, so he didn't disturb him. Instead, he helped Oreki Kimie stop those people.

Oreki Kimie now had an excited expression on her face.

Soon, I'll be able to experience Luo Feng's joy!

She is different from those who are passively turned into devils. Although she did it to protect herself, she was also genuinely pursuing a thrilling life and the pleasure of being a devil!

"You've signed a devil's contract; you'll never be able to play chess again in your life."

Just then, a cheerful voice rang out.

Everyone was taken aback, for Luo Feng's figure appeared silently above the chessboard.

As for the one that crashed? That was Luo Feng's clone.

He'll come here to enjoy himself for a while, then go back to work on the plane.

After his subordinates finished their work, he naturally came to reap the rewards.

"That's the literal meaning; your talent was wasted in this game of chess," Luo Feng said calmly.

"My lord, wait, what do you mean? Isn't he immune to having his talents stripped away? I didn't make a contract with him!" Fujiwara Sai was stunned for a moment, then was greatly surprised.

If this person says it, does that mean that Xiao Guang has really lost the chance to play chess?

Has his talent truly vanished?

"Let me go over things with you one by one." Luo Feng, the veteran editor, casually stopped time, leaving only Hikaru Shindo in the background.

Luo Feng said to Hikaru Shindo, "Do you still remember what happened back then? You saw a divine move in Sai's game."

"What contract? You are..."

Hikaru Shindo looked terrified as the identity of Luo Feng the devil was forcibly implanted into his mind.

This is Luo Feng after he's grown up; he's too lazy to follow the rules step by step anymore.

"This is Sai from back then! Do you know that if it weren't for his obsession with Go, he would have almost been driven to his death by you!" Luo Feng shouted angrily. "A Go player who has grown for a thousand years, a being whom even the gods praise, almost disappeared because of you, someone who had no interest in Go and had nothing but divine talent!"

"I know I've wronged him..."

Hikaru Shindo gripped his pants tightly, as if he had returned to his teenage years and become that helpless child again.

The story is simple and cliché: Sai is the old man, and he is the protagonist who received the old man's cheat code.

Just like the usual plot of online novels, when the old man blocks the protagonist's path, the old man will disappear. Sai experienced all of this.

Luo Feng read about Sai's memories and felt a deep sense of unease. He, too, had experienced the pain of helping others achieve their goals only to be killed himself.

Regardless of whether Hikaru Shindo did it on purpose or not, he did make Sai disappear; that's the end!

In a parallel world, he met a chess player named Chu Ying and a boy named Shi Guang. They were just like Hikaru Shindo and Sai, but the difference was that after Chu Ying disappeared, Shi Guang adopted a more appropriate attitude.

There may be some minor differences in daily life, but when you look at the whole process, the difference is like night and day.

Comparing the two, Sai existed for a thousand years just to let Hikaru see one move, while Chu Ying in that world truly grasped the divine move. Only by completely letting go of the desire to win and experiencing the joy of playing chess can one make such a move, just like Tet. He believes in entertainment above all else, otherwise he wouldn't have sent the blank space, which is the greatest threat to him, to his world.

He left relatively satisfied, but Sai left not so satisfied.

Of course, these are Luo Feng's own interpretations, but would he care about other people's interpretations?

“You really have wronged him. This contract wasn’t his idea; he was kept in the dark.” Luo Feng smiled slightly, his narrowed eyes widening slightly. “It was that woman and this boy who conspired together.”

"Conspiracy? What do you mean?" Hikaru Shindo suddenly looked up.

“You know your current status, right? Your status is too high! As long as he beats you, he will be a star in the Go world. As long as he cripples you, there will be one less position in the Go world, and he can make more money.” As Luo Feng spoke, he almost believed it himself: “He completely treats Sai as a money-making tool, and that woman also needs performance, so the two hit it off immediately.”

"You understand too, Sai is right behind him, right?"

"You know Sai's personality. He's a chess fanatic. What does he know besides chess? He's never hated you, but he's too easily manipulated."

"And that person just took advantage of Sai's naivety, saying that everything would be his. But think about it, Sai is just a soul. If he can't enjoy delicious food and beautiful women, then isn't he the one who wins?"

Due to preconceived notions, Hikaru Shindo clearly believed that Sai was behind that person. In addition, Luo Feng's words were reasonable and well-founded, which made Hikaru Shindo feel extremely uneasy upon closer examination.

Was Sai being used?

If Sai hates him and wants to take away everything he once gave him, then he has nothing to say. As long as Sai is willing to come back, he can give up the God's Hand and let Sai go find it.

In his heart, this teacher was more important than anything else!

Because he hadn't seen Sai for so many years, he had even mythologized him.

But it's not that Sai wanted to take it away, it's that someone else wanted to take it away, that's a completely different matter!

"Think about it, you still have to keep this a secret for him. Otherwise, if Sai finds out, how guilty will he feel? Will he never want to play Go again because of you? Will he feel like he's good for nothing except hurting others?"

The devil's whispers rang out, and Hikaru Shindo trembled.

"What should I do? What should I do? Please, help Sai! I'm willing to give anything to help Sai!"

"Willing to give anything? Sorry, I don't want anything." Luo Feng spread his hands, revealing a playful smile.

Is performance evaluation useful to me?

He wanted to see what it would feel like to completely cut off the other person's hopes.

As expected, Hikaru Shindo looked at Luo Feng with a look of despair and disbelief.

Luo Feng deprived him of his last hope, meaning he had no way to help Zuo Wei.

"Think about it now, what can you do?" Luo Feng shook his head: "You can only watch him get cheated. Otherwise, if he feels guilty about this and can't play chess... do you want him to die again? Well, you're just being willful. You interrupted Sai and Akira's game because you wanted to play. You've already killed him once because you wanted to play. What's wrong with him dying again?"

Despair, heartbreak.

Two intertwined emotions swirled in Hikaru Shindo's heart.

Look at that despicable person who only thinks about making money, using Sai as a tool to make money and himself as a stepping stone, unable to do anything himself.

I had planned everything perfectly, envisioning myself pursuing the Divine Hand alongside Sai, but then...

What about the divine intervention?

He had lost all hope, so he sold all his knowledge of Go and had to start all over again.

Young people learn chess at a different pace than he does, as their memory and other abilities are already declining.

When veterans play against newcomers, they don't have as much of an advantage to begin with.

Today, I can't find Sai, and I can't pursue the divine touch...

The two most important things were lost in front of him, and in just two days!

Yes, and there's Xiao Liang too. We promised to improve together, play Go together, and never give up on Go again, but this time he had to give it up.
