Global Games: Old Chess Players

Chapter 128 "Really, I never beat you in a game of chess."

[Email name: Happy 18th birthday, Anson Lu. 】

"Happy birthday..." An Senlu murmured while staring at the email.

Birthday?

Oh, so today is my birthday, why does this old man remember it better than me...

He clicked into the email and looked at the displayed text.

[Email content: I don't have much time left... I think, with your ability, you should have already guessed my identity, and your intuition will also help you judge and sort out the clues I left, so I don't Will explain more. 】

[There has only been one "old chess player" in history, and that is you and me at the same time. 】

An Senlu's fingers trembled slightly, he pursed his lips, and then turned down.

"It's really stupid, you have kept it from me for so long."

[I apologize for Yuri's matter, but to be honest, I don't think I did anything wrong, because in the future, including Yuri, the three girls in Iceland will all die in the evolution game...]

[Uesugi Asuka is also the same, if she does not have the blood of the dragon, she will die sooner or later, due to recklessness and sense of justice. 】

[Limited by some rules, I have to sacrifice some people and pay some price to increase your chances of winning, and to balance your extremely indifferent personality, lest you go down the same old path as me. 】

[I have fought alone all my life, and only chess pieces have accompanied me in these decades. 】

【Did you know... The crow also approached me, but I never trusted him. After using him, I strangled him in the dungeon. That was the biggest mistake I ever made in my life. 】

[The existence of the crow is very important... Perhaps, he is also a person who can influence the world. 】

【The people around you now, whether it's Lorenzo or Julius, they all died before my eyes. 】

[Because of this, I, who regarded everyone as a burden and insisted on going my own way, failed... I failed completely. The weight of billions of human lives cannot be carried by one person. 】

【You are different from me, I am not sure whether you will be able to succeed...】

[But...at least take my share and live well. 】

The mail is over.

No matter how you stroke, you can't draw new characters.

There's only one circle, and it's going around...and going...and going.

It turns annoying.

"I'm bored..."

"What the hell are you talking about..."

"Why do you keep mentioning these boring things..."

"Didn't it be a good deal..." An Senlu's eyes were covered by strands of hair, and his voice was hoarse, "Didn't it be a good deal, will we play chess together later?"

He stayed there for a long time, moved his finger, and scrolled up the text message interface. There were many messages, which were the messages that the two had chatted with in the past few months.

"Student, what's your name?"

"An Senlu, come on, play a game of chess with me, and if you win, you will be admitted."

"Interesting, it seems that I have practiced a lot."

"Ansenlu, do you feel lonely? You don't make many friends at school. It's good to make more friends."

"Study hard, but don't forget about playing chess."

"From now on, at noon every day, come and play two games of chess with me after dinner. This is the principal's order."

"........."

"........."

"Go, Anson deer, let's play chess."

"Come, play chess and drink some tea by the way."

"Have you finished your meal, let's play chess."

"Going to play chess, brat, what are you doing standing in the corridor?"

"Punishment? Which teacher made you stand as punishment, and told him to come to my office for tea and watch you play chess with me."

"This is Blue Mountain coffee, imported from abroad and produced in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. The higher the altitude, the more expensive it is."

"Stinky boy, what do you mean must be a counterfeit, I think you just don't understand how to appreciate it."

"Okay, okay, don't look like this, let's drink tea, next time I'll buy some good coffee."

"........."

"........."

"Why do you like you so much?"

"I said, you have talent, I mention you, so that you can live a better life than me in this life, and when you make some achievements in the future, we will continue to play chess and catch up in this poor place. .”

"It's really spineless. You're only 17 years old and you're here to say something frustrating."

"........."

"........."

"It's true that I have never defeated you in a game of chess, um... I can rest assured that the path you are going to take is indeed different from mine."

"I've lived for so many years, and there's only one thing I can teach you. Sometimes people can't be too paranoid. If you only have goals in your eyes, you'll only be left alone."

"........."

"........."

"I'm a failure. I spent my whole life without accomplishing anything. I also lost the people around me. Before I knew it, my hair turned white. In the end... I could only stay in this small place, drinking and drinking." Live with tea."

"Boy, I don't want to hear you comfort me, I just don't want you to go my old way."

"........."

"............

"I have plan today."

"Busy, another day."

"I have something to do today."

"Stinky boy, don't stick to me all the time, don't you still have friends with you?"

"Hey, what's the hurry, there's plenty of time, next time."

"........."

"........."

"Is your birthday coming up?"

"What? I have never received a blessing text message in my life... Okay, then I, an old man, will reluctantly be your first message."

"........."

"........."

"You are already an adult, and you have to take on your responsibilities."

"Happy 18th Birthday, Anson Deer."

"Principal, this is my birthday..." An Senlu laughed self-deprecatingly, "It's not a happy day at all."

He leaned on the back of the bed, raised his head, and stared at the hollow ceiling for a long time.

It took a long time for An Senlu to put down his phone. His figure was like a kite with a broken string. He walked slowly to the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and the hot bath water gradually filled the bathtub.

He took off his clothes and submerged wearily in the bathtub.

Half of the cheek was gradually submerged in the water surface, and the blisters popped out "gurgling--".

The erosive spirit was soaked in hot water, and the tight line of defense disintegrated layer by layer.

Thoughts gradually became blurred.

Anson Deer's mood is very complicated.

He liked to play chess with himself since he was a child, and when he grew up, he thought he had found someone who was willing to play chess with him... In the end, this person was still 'himself'.

As if nothing had changed, as if everything had changed again.

What remains unchanged is that no one will understand him, only he himself will understand himself.

What changed was that he began to feel a little lost.

"Empty heart... You are talking about this kind of feeling, Yuri."

The young man lowered his eyes, the brown in his pupils had never been so dim, like an extinguished fire, he stared quietly at the wrinkled palm, and smiled softly.

"Please, my life is messed up enough, I have to mess it up again..." An Senlu murmured softly, "It seems like I haven't experienced such a feeling for a long time..."

"Can't you talk to me more before leaving, old man."

After a long time, he turned his face away and looked at Tokyo at night from the window where the raindrops were falling. The thousands of neon lights in the city gradually dimmed, and there was a light rain in the sky. Several figures were walking on the long street. The back view is like a slow motion, dragging on longer and longer, slowly going away.

Only, the Tokyo Sky Tree standing in the city center is still radiant and shining brilliantly.

Anson Deer moved his lips and said softly:

"Good night, Headmaster."
