The second dimension life starting from Fuyuki City

I was attracted by the situation on the chessboard, which was unreasonable and lawless, but ruthlessly suppressed the white pieces.

"I don't understand what's going on—"

Toya Ryo, who was standing next to Shindo Hikaru, asked:

"Shinto, can you tell what style this is?"

"Could it be some ancient style I've never seen before? This doesn't conform to modern Go standards at all."

"I don't know—"

In fact, Shindo Hikaru is just a novice who has been learning under the guidance of Reizo behind the scenes for more than a month. Even Toya Ryo, who has a profound family background, can understand it. How could he possibly see it?

The victory just now was only possible because Lingzuo behind him guided him on how to make each move, so that he could crush the rising star, Toya Ryo.

When in doubt, he would ask the old man. The same thing happened to Shindo Hikaru. He would look at Sai beside him, hoping that he could give him some advice.

Although Shindo Hikaru has only been playing Go for over a month, he has completely fallen in love with this game of wits and courage in just over a month. He is so excited that he has not wasted any free time in the past month and has used it all to learn Go knowledge.

I thought I was already a novice player, but unexpectedly, after seeing the chess pieces on the chessboard in front of Mo Yi, I found that I was no different from more than a month ago. I couldn't understand anything at all and could only ask Zuo Wei with a confused look on my face.

"It's unbelievable, it's simply amazing—"

The Reizu behind the scenes was a man who was obsessed with Go and could not become a Buddha for hundreds of years. He was attached to a tattered chessboard. After seeing the game between Mo Yi and Kouenji Rokusuke, or to be more precise, after seeing how Mo Yi played the black pieces, this chess fanatic instantly fell into a state of excitement and madness, and even did not listen to the words of his host, Shindo Hikaru.

After staring at the chessboard for a long time, reconstructing it one by one in his mind, and then putting himself into the situation and thinking about how to deal with each step, he was willing to temporarily break away from the excitement of discovering a new continent and opening the door to a new world.

"This can only be described as a completely new genre, light--"

Sai excitedly shared his views with Shindo Hikaru:

"Whether in my time or as Go has developed to this day, the goal of Go is victory. It's about gaining advantage step by step during the game. It's a duel of wisdom and trade-offs between the two players."

"But the black side on the chessboard has a completely different mindset than the way we chess players think about playing chess."

"If we say that Go is a game of reason, then the black pieces' moves are already on a philosophical level, no longer limited to the so-called win or lose."

"How can this be?"

Kondo Hikaru found it hard to accept. Isn't the purpose of a Go game to determine a winner? How can one play without caring about the outcome? And if the black pieces are really not limited to winning or losing, then why does the situation appear to be one where the white pieces are being suppressed in all kinds of weird ways?

"Why isn't it possible?"

Sai closed his fan, observed the chess game with an eye for art, and said:

"White is obsessed with winning or losing, while black jumps out of the board and focuses on the governance of heaven and earth. The world is composed of yin and yang. In the world of Go, it is even simpler and clearer. The black and white pieces are the world."

"In the face of the mighty power of heaven and earth, how insignificant is the power and wisdom of an individual!"

"Although the black piece isn't specifically striving for victory, its existence cannot be countered by the white piece's winning strategy, just as humans can never defeat the forces of nature. This is the most basic principle of nature."

"When I first started learning Go, I wanted to trace the ancients' original intentions in creating the game, exploring the principles of nature and man using black and white stones. But gradually, I became addicted to the pleasure of competing with my opponent. Coupled with my inability to find the right path, I eventually gave up on my original idea. My playing style and thinking also changed from the ancient style of not striving for victory to the Shusaku style of exhaustive calculation."

"I never thought that such a realm and method really existed in this world. I doubted it before. Fortunately, I can see this scene even after death. God has been kind to me!"

Shindo Hikaru: “…”

My grandfather seemed to be talking very powerfully, but I couldn't understand him. It was just a game of chess. Should I raise it to a philosophical level? Philosophy is not a taboo that we poor students can lift.

"Guang, hurry up and get to know that boy. This is a good opportunity!"

After sighing, Sai hurriedly urged Kondo Hikaru to go up and meet Mo Yi. This game of competition was good, but how could it compare to the person who played this game?

Simply put, Master, let’s be friends!

As long as I have this friend, my mother will no longer worry that I won’t be able to find a good opponent or someone to learn from!

Kondo Hikaru: “…”

Even if you say so, I don’t know what to do!

Not to mention boys, I've never even approached girls. You're making things difficult for me!

Besides, Saiyou, didn't you see that Miss Nakiri was sitting next to the other person, looking very familiar with the playful look?

Do you know what Ms. Nakiri represents?

Now, if you interrupt other people’s conversation, you will be beaten to death.

"Hurry up, Hikaru—"

How could Sai know what was in Shindo Hikaru's mind? All he wanted now was to get to know Mo Yi as soon as possible and then have a pleasant and exciting duel. What could he eat of a light bulb?

However, he also noticed Kondo Hikaru's hesitation, so he encouraged him again:

"The other party is a true master, maybe even better than me, a master better than everyone else."

"If you miss today, you may not have the chance to meet him again in the future. This is your best chance to become a true master!"

Under Sai's whisper, Kondo Hikaru was finally persuaded, and pulled his friend Toya Ryo towards Mo Yi and said:

"Hello, classmate, I'm Shindo Hikaru, nice to meet you—"

Naturally, the movements of Shindo Hikaru and Sai, the spirit behind the scenes, could not be hidden from Mo Yi and Erina. Ordinary people could not see spirits behind the scenes like Sai, but only those who possessed mysterious powers could see them.

Under normal circumstances, Mo Yi would not notice them, but there was a ghost among the crowd, just like a husky mixed in with a pack of wolves, and Mo Yi couldn't help but pay attention.

"Humph--"

Although Meimeijiang was unhappy that another nameless guy came out to disturb the time she spent with Mo Yi, she felt Mo Yi's kind attitude, so she didn't say anything and sat there quietly, serving as Mo Yi's background.

"Hello--"

Mo Yi nodded generously and said with a smile:

"I'm Mo Yi, nice to meet you."

"Ok?"

Ordinary people might know that the 'we' Mo Yi was referring to were Toya Ryo and Shindo Hikaru, but Sai could clearly feel that the other party was looking at him and nodding.

"The other party can actually see me?"

"Is it strange to see?"

Mo Yi's voice sounded in Zuo Wei's mind, and he said with a smile:

"You must have just appeared in reality, otherwise it would be so strange."

"why?"

Zuo Wei didn't have time to wonder how the other party could accomplish such a mythical feat as telepathy, and asked directly.

However, the only people present who could hear him were his hosts, Shindo Hikaru, Mo Yi, and Erina.

Mo Yi looked at the ghost in front of him who was dressed in ancient style and exuded a bookish air, and couldn't help laughing at the other party's boldness. You know, although there are not many people on the mysterious side, there will be some in every area, at least there will be mysterious people belonging to the government stationed in each area.

The other party was so bold that he appeared in the crowd openly. If he encountered the kind of policeman who wanted to improve his performance and would deal with all supernatural events regardless of good or evil (the mysterious staff of the District 11 government), it would be a great gift package of experience.

Mo Yi could naturally tell from his appearance, expression and temperament that the other party was not a bad person. There was no resentment in him. It seemed that he became a ghost because of his obsession.

In order to prevent the other party from being shot to death by a passing policeman while walking on the street one day, Mo Yi told Sai and his host Shindo Hikaru about the mysterious side world.

"how is this possible?"

Not only was Hikaru Shindo, a new-age youth, shocked by this incident, but even Sai, a ghost, was shocked.

"Sai, we have to be more careful next time. We should try to play chess online at home."

Even though they had only been together for over a month, Kondo Hikaru had already regarded Sai as his best friend and teacher, and naturally would not allow him to be beaten to pieces by the police who suddenly appeared.

"Um--"

Sai, who is obsessed with Go, is not as nervous as Kondo Hikaru. In fact, he is already tired of life. If it were not for his pursuit of the supreme way of Go, the divine move, he might have become a Buddha and disappeared long ago.

Of course, now in addition to the godly move, there is also the chess move that Mo Yi just made, which deeply attracted him and made him reluctant to become a Buddha and disappear. It seems that he has to hide.

Zuo Wei solemnly performed an ancient ritual towards Mo Yi and thanked him:

"Thank you Mo Yijun for the reminder."

Mo Yi smiled and didn't say anything about such a small matter. He just wanted others to listen to his good intentions.

"Mo Yijun, I have an unwelcome request—"

In order to take care of Toya Ryo who was beside him, Kondo Hikaru finally took the initiative to ask:

"We are very curious about the half-game you just played, but we don't quite understand it, like looking at flowers in the fog. I wonder if Mo Yijun can give us some advice."

I don’t know if it was influenced by the ancient man Sai, but Shindo Hikaru found that when he was nervous, he tended to learn Sai’s ancient style. After saying this, even he felt a little ashamed of himself.

"I wonder if you've heard of the Cosmic Style, also known as the Natural Style?"

Mo Yi had learned Go in his previous life. After so many years, his physical and mental sublimation, calculation ability and personal realm are naturally not comparable to ordinary people. The Universe Style that was very bad at playing back then can be sublimated into a new and wonderful style in his hands.

However, I haven’t had time to play Go since my rebirth, so I don’t know if there is any so-called cosmic school in this world.

“Never heard of this genre.”

Toya Ryo, who had been silent the entire time, took the initiative to speak. Even with his profound family knowledge, he had never heard of this kind of move, so he couldn't help but ask:

"What kind of genre is this?"

Chapter 268: It’s not the school that’s strong, it’s the person himself

"Most popular Go strategies today prioritize practical advantages, emphasizing a layout centered around the third line in order to gain territory on the edge—"

Mo Yi could understand the other party's curiosity. Just like if you were obsessed with a certain sport, such as basketball, you could resist the urge to watch NBA even during class. Even if you couldn't watch the video, watching the text live broadcast was very enjoyable.

This kind of behavior is unacceptable to people who don’t like or understand it. They think how could anyone do such a boring thing?

In fact, there are, and a lot of them.

"It emphasizes external forces over practical advantages, and the fourth line over the third. It advocates for the movement of pieces toward the center rather than the edges. In most of Takemiya Masaki's games with black pieces, the majority are based on a triple-star layout that occupies four edges and exploits external forces. Other games also emphasize the fourth line. Because this style of play emphasizes fighting within the entire central sky, rather than on the ground (or edges), it is known as the Cosmic Style."

"This play has greater attack power and balance than ordinary plays."

"I see--"

At this moment, a whole new door was opened for Ryo Toya and Hikaru Shindo. This method of play simply challenged their previous concepts.

With their words in mind, they looked at the black and white pieces on the chessboard again. Although there were still many things they didn't understand, they had already understood a little bit.

"Thank you for your advice, Mo Yijun."

Unlike Toya Ryo and Shindo Hikaru who are easily satisfied, Sai will naturally not be easily fooled by Mo Yi.

Although Mo Yi used this style as a guide, every move on the chessboard contained unfathomable meanings and changes, which could not be achieved by a specific style.

"Mo Yijun, this game of chess you played isn't just about the cosmic flow you used just now?"

As a chess fanatic, Sai Wei naturally would not miss any opportunity to ask for a solution, so he bowed and asked:

"Could you please teach me again?"

"There's nothing to be ashamed of—"

Mo Yi pinched Erina's left hand that was pinching the thin flesh on his waist, and asked his playful sister to let go. If he was discovered, would he still be able to maintain his image as a chess master?

"Just like the Shusaku style, everyone knows it, but some people can barely be considered beginners, while others can be canonized as saints. It's a matter of personal understanding."

Mo Yi's short words instantly shocked Zuo Wei. In fact, Zuo Wei was the one who created the Shusaku style, so he could naturally understand Mo Yi's words -

What is strong is not the school of thought, but the person who uses it.

"I was obsessed with it. Thank you, Mo Yijun, for your advice."

After saying that, Zuo Wei looked at Mo Yi with eager eyes and said:

"I wonder if Mo Yijun is interested in playing a game of hands with me?"

Mo Yi: “…”

Those who knew the details would naturally understand that the other party's gaze was because he wanted to play chess with him. If they did not know the truth, they would think that they had reached the forbidden boundary again.

Fortunately, there were only three people at the scene who could see Sai, otherwise if he was misunderstood, how would I, Master Yakumo, be able to survive in the future?

"Not interested—"

At this time, my sister couldn't bear it anymore. You guys come to disturb us now, and after playing chess, you still want to continue to be the shining light bulb. Don't you take this goddess seriously?

Mo Yi's time belongs to me. You nameless guys, go back to where you came from.

The voice of Sister Jiang suddenly sounded in the minds of Zuo Wei and Mo Yi, making Zuo Wei instantly confused and embarrassed.

Having been obsessed with Go all her life, she naturally didn't understand the atmosphere and didn't understand why Erina suddenly interrupted, and her tone was a bit unfriendly.
