Global Games: Old Chess Players

Chapter 182
On February 02th, at night, Huanjing, a law firm.

The captain of the Huaxia national team——Jiang Yijie stood up from the piano, took a sip of tea, and turned on the TV in the living room with the remote control.

The news channel broadcast an explosive temporary news, because the news came too suddenly, the usually well-trained and calm announcer Lao Niao was pulled up to rescue the scene.

Obviously, he didn't read the manuscripts beforehand, but with years of experience and improvisation, he should be able to finish broadcasting these two news smoothly.

However, the moment the announcer's eyes touched the manuscript in his hand, his eyes were full of surprise, he opened his mouth in astonishment, and was speechless for a while.

"Pro...an instant broadcast of two real-time news reports." The announcer cleared his voice and continued:
"First, according to the report of the Evolution Foundation, the serial player of the law enforcement team—"Cyber ​​Strike": Cosimo de' Medici is confirmed to be alive, but has lost his player qualification."

"Is it still alive? That's true. After all, there is only a 50% chance that the cooperative challenge dungeon will actually die..."

Jiang Yijie put down his teacup and sighed softly.

"This is already the best ending. However, the potential of the sequence 'Cyber ​​Assault' is so strong. It is a pity for the law enforcement team to lose this child."

'Cyber ​​Strike', like 'Old Chess Player', is a sequence that can use evolution coins to increase the upper limit infinitely.

As long as Cosimo is willing to accept it, the officials will never be stingy with piling up resources on him. In this way, under the protection of the officials, he will definitely grow into an unimaginable monster quickly.

However, before that, Cosimo had already been deprived of his player qualifications and became a commoner.

Although Jiang Yijie felt it was a pity, he also knew in his heart that there was no other way, this ending was better than Cosimo's death.

The newscaster paused for a long time, then went on to report the second temporary news.

"The second piece of news is that a 'sequence player runaway incident' took place on Arbat Street in Moscow. The incident involved at the same time - the number one sequence player in the world, China's old chess player 'Ansen Deer', and law enforcement Captain of the team - Pope 'Lorenzo' of the Crazy Bell."

"What's the situation?" Jiang Yijie frowned.

runaway?

As soon as Jiang Yijie heard this word, he instinctively thought of Lorenzo.

As early as after the fourth round of dungeons, he learned through China's official inside information that Lorenzo was affected by the sequence, and his mental state was declining day by day, showing a vague trend of losing control.

Moreover, as long as you are not stupid, you can see something strange from some recent related events.

As for An Senlu, Jiang Yijie had never heard of the risk of losing control in the sequence of "Old Chess Player".

After all, this sequence is nothing like - Crimson Dragon Wing, Ape of Purgatory, is a very stable sequence.

"An out-of-control old chess player is suspected to have killed four elite players from Russia." The player said intermittently: "Lorenzo tried to stop Anson Deer, which resulted in the loss of an arm. He has been sent to the hospital, it is confirmed Not life-threatening."

Anson deer went berserk...?
And, to stop him, Lorenzo lost an arm?
Jiang Yijie froze on the spot, took a breath, his gentle eyes were filled with surprise...

The fact that happened in front of him, and the situation he imagined, seemed to be completely opposite - he thought that it was the pope who lost control, not the old chess player.

Although Jiang Yijie's mind was in a mess, the news was still broadcasting from the TV.

——“Regarding this incident, Russia’s official attitude is indignant, saying that it will definitely not condone the old chess players who tortured and killed ‘people’s heroes’.”

——"In addition, the Russian official accused the Chinese official of not intervening in time to monitor the mental state of the 'sequence players belonging to the country', which led to the occurrence of this inhumane incident."

Jiang Yijie let out a long sigh, and turned off the TV with the remote control, so as not to be influenced by these useless information, he opened the friend panel and found An Senlu's name.

What he didn't expect was that at this moment, An Senlu sent him a message.

[An Senlu: Comrade Jiang Yijie, I have to delete your friend, otherwise it will be difficult for you to explain to the official. 】

【Jiang Yijie: So, what happened? 】

[An Senlu: Your Huaxia national team recently recruited a sequence player. What is her sequence called "Bamboo Shadow Healer"? She is a beautiful sister? 】

Jiang Yijie was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect why An Senlu suddenly brought up this matter.

[Jiang Yijie: Yes. 】

[Anson Deer: Lorenzo needs her help, otherwise he will collapse soon, while this guy is still saved, hurry up and take care of his mental state. 】

Seeing this, Jiang Yijie confirmed his thoughts even more: in that art street in Moscow, the person who went berserk and out of control should not be An Senlu, but Lorenzo.

But why did Anson deer help Lorenzo carry the crime?
Could it be... Doesn't he know the impact of doing this on his own reputation and the "Lighthouse of Hell" that just came out?
Once an out-of-control incident occurs, the people may no longer be able to trust the old chess player. Even if he is the number one player in the world, it is absolutely impossible to gain the 100% trust of the people again.

It is not surprising that An Senlu was ordered to be expelled, imprisoned, or even sentenced to death...

[Jiang Yijie: Compared to this, shouldn't you explain the out-of-control incident in Moscow?Did you really kill those four Russian players? 】

[An Senlu: Almost, I have nothing to say, anyway, remember to let the "Bamboo Shadow Therapist" and "The Pope of Mad Bell" get in touch, I still trust you, Brother Jiang. 】

[Jiang Yijie: I'll go to Shangshi to find you, don't worry, everything will be decided when I arrive, whether I am in the law enforcement team or in front of the national teams of various countries, I still have a certain prestige. 】

[An Senlu: Don't, don't, buddy, you shouldn't be able to find me when you come to Shangshi. 】

[Jiang Yijie: Why? 】

[An Senlu: I moved, and my reputation outside is like this, so I have to avoid the limelight? 】

【Jiang Yijie: Where are you going to move? 】

【Anson Deer: Well, this matter has to be kept a secret. In short, our 'Hell Lighthouse' will disappear for a while, bye. 】

After posting this sentence, An Senlu deleted Jiang Yijie's friend.

The chat panel turned gray at first, and Jiang Yijie couldn't send any messages. Not long after, the panel completely disappeared before his eyes, as if it had never existed...

Jiang Yijie took a deep breath to keep himself calm... He was almost full of doubts now, but before he had time to confirm with An Senlu, he was rejected directly.

"No way, An Senlu is like this." Jiang Yijie comforted himself.

Until now, Jiang Yijie didn't dare to approach him rashly.

After all, An Senlu is a recognized weirdo in the eyes of the officials of various countries. The most exaggerated thing is that in the first four rounds of dungeons, there is a mysterious figure "principal" who is elusive and haunting him.

This made it impossible for the officials to get close to Ansenlu, let alone restrict and supervise the sequence players of Shangshi.

Now, it is not a strange thing for the Russian officials to sue the Huaxia officials. After all, if there are serial players in other countries, the officials will contact and control them immediately.

According to the Evolution Foundation - all sequence players are double-edged swords. If they are not well controlled, they will cause great danger to the people, so no matter which sequence player, they must be controlled by the local authorities .

Such a law was widely known until the emergence of the private trade union "Hell Beacon" led by Anson Deer, and not many people refuted it.

However, the strange nature of the organization "Hell Lighthouse" lies there...

There are a total of six sequence players gathered in the union.

Moreover, none of the sequence players accept official control, and even because they have too much influence in the eyes of the people, the officials of various countries dare not contact them rashly, otherwise it will definitely cause public opinion to rebound.

Regarding this trade union, the official methods given by the officials of various countries in the previous round of dungeons are-put it on for the time being, and ignore them for now.

After all, in the "Lighthouse of Hell" at that time, none of the sequence players showed an obvious tendency to lose control-they were harmless to the people and were also working on the Raiders instance.

But today's incident completely broke this weird status quo.

Anson Deer, gone berserk.

Even Lorenzo got involved - he lost an arm trying to stop Anson Deer from slaughtering innocents!
This is simply adding fuel to the fire, and it will only make the public opinion of the "Lighthouse of Hell" collapse more seriously among the people. Perhaps, things have developed to the point of no return.

That's why An Senlu chose to take the union members to live in seclusion again.

As long as they go to a small town that is not under official control and sparsely populated, it is indeed very difficult to find them.

Moreover, even if they find it, they can use the travel coupon to move their positions again.

Jiang Yijie sighed lightly, and helped Fu Biao's painful forehead: "It was hard to reach a cooperation with him, and this happened after only a week..."

He walked back and forth in the office, his pupils flickering with light of thought.

"But why exactly did things become like this?"

"Anson Deer, what are you thinking..."

Jiang Yijie recalled the conversation he had with An Senlu just now—the most surprising thing was that An Senlu did not leave any evidence for Jiang Yijie: evidence that could prove that the four Russian players were not killed by him.

An Senlu didn't say a word about the world-shaking event that happened just now, and just asked Jiang Yijie to help arrange for the "Bamboo Shadow Therapist" to meet with Lorenzo.

Anson Deer, helping Lorenzo?

That makes sense.

However, why did Lorenzo run away in Russia? At this point, he should have just returned to New York.

By the way, the holder of the cyber attack sequence - Cosimo is Lorenzo's younger brother!Before that, Cosimo was betrayed by Russian players in the North Pole dungeon battle!
Moreover, the ones who died in Moscow... happened to be four elite Russian players.

Jiang Yijie finally cleared his mind.

"The four Russian players who died were one of those who betrayed Cosimo? After seeing Cosimo's tragedy, Lorenzo came to Moscow to seek revenge from them."

"Anson Deer arrived at the scene in time. In order to stop Lorenzo's runaway, he cut off one of Lorenzo's arms, and took Lorenzo's crimes on himself?"

"That's why the report of this incident turned into—the old chess player went berserk."

Jiang Yijie shuddered, he took a deep breath, his heart was throbbing with this shocking truth.

That's right, if the captain of the law enforcement team went berserk at this point in time, the official reputation would plummet, the people might riot, and the world would no longer have peace and order.

The previous incidents will also be exposed, and the "pope's misdeeds" that the law enforcement team has been covering up will once again enter the public's attention because of this incident.

This time, no one could explain Lorenzo.

He will inevitably become a completely out-of-control monster, and the official is a habitual criminal who protects the monster and deceives the people...

That's why An Senlu took the initiative to bear all the charges.

Jiang Yijie thought to this point, and muttered in a daze: "What a... great spirit."

At this time, a strong impulse rose in his heart, the impulse to tell the truth of this incident to the whole world, the impulse to tear off Lorenzo's hypocritical face.

This is the only way to help Ansenlu restore his reputation to the greatest extent possible, and prevent the sequence players of Hell Beacon from being forced to disappear from the public's sight again.

However, if this is done... Lorenzo will undoubtedly be sentenced to death-the official will no longer cover up the crazy pope, and people will demand his execution out of anger.

Does this violate Anson's wishes?
What kind of ending did he hope for?

After a long silence, the impulse in Jiang Yijie's heart calmed down.

"An Senlu, I don't want the truth to be announced." His eyes dimmed, and he murmured softly, "He sacrificed himself to get this situation. I should never break the status quo."

The afterglow of the setting sun was over, and the night covered the face of this Chinese youth.

Jiang Yijie raised his eyes, looked at the night sky, and made a decision: "Not only can I not announce the truth, but I must also help him cover up the truth of this incident, otherwise all his efforts will be in vain."

As the captain of China's national team, or in other words, as a native of China, he is deeply proud of this 18-year-old Huaxia boy.

At this moment, in Shangshi City, the teacher's dormitory of Shangshi High School.

It happened to be the annual holiday, and the students and teachers all went home to rest, and the school was empty, except for the uncle gatekeeper.

At this moment, because of the shocking incident of "the former chess player ran away in Moscow", a bunch of native citizens ran to the school one after another, wanting to ask their Prince Shangshi what happened, and by the way, to seek justice from the authorities, and ask him Who the hell is this heartless person who made such a rumor?

It's just that these people were all stopped by the gatekeeper. The situation at the gate was amazing. The gatekeeper didn't back down a single step. These people couldn't enter the school anyway.

Therefore, the five members of the Hell Lighthouse can still rectify in the teacher's dormitory and take away what should be taken away.

"Ah Qiu—" An Senlu touched his reddened nose and said cursingly, "Damn it, who is talking bad about me?"

"Please, I said move, can you stop fishing, and be careful that there will be no quilt over there!" Asuka Uesugi hugged her elbows and glared at President Shika.

Yuri walked by with a box in his arms, and asked in an emotionless voice: "So, where are we going to live?"

Ritsu Urushihara replied: "A small town in Norway, no one lives there anymore."

Uesugi Asuka sighed softly, "Norway? It's so cold there, it's freezing, can you choose some normal place!"

"Please, I went there because there was no one in that small town. Otherwise, I could live on a small island near Hawaii, and there is no one on that island," said Anson Lu.

"Asuka, I think Norway is fine. The crow's opinion is always fine." Seeing that the two were about to start arguing non-stop again, Chu Qimo couldn't help interrupting.

"Yes, you can't trust me, you can't trust this guy, can you?" Ansen Lugou relied on his power and tapped the crow's chest with the back of his hand.

"Mr. Lu, don't do this, it hurts, I have a bad heart."

"Fuck off, the world's number one gambler has a bad heart, right? Then you should have died suddenly in some casino!"

Asuka Uesugi turned her head, her eyes looked at the quiet city of Shangshi shrouded in the afterglow of the setting sun. Although she had only lived here for less than two months, she also developed feelings for it.

"So, is it really worth it, for that Lorenzo?" she asked softly.

An Senlu turned his head and looked at her beautiful side face: "Asuka, do you believe me?"

Uesugi Asuka hesitated for a while, then nodded lightly: "Well, okay, I believe you."

"Thanks, Asuka." An Senlu smiled at her.

"You president is really self-willed." Asuka Uesugi blushed.

She moved her eyes away, snorted coldly and said: "By the way, I suggest you not to surf the Internet during this time. I just click on a webpage, and the people in it are all scolding you, and the scolding is so dirty."

"Hehe, if you scold me, you can scold me. Is it possible that these idiots can hack me along the network cable." An Senlu spread his hands shamelessly.

"We have an old saying in Huaxia: people are shameless, and the world is invincible." Chu Qimo hugged his shoulders and said slowly: "I think this sentence is very suitable for the president's situation."

An Senlu was ashamed, "Mr. Chu, we don't know how to talk, so we should stop talking."

Asuka chuckled, "Hahaha, I think Teacher Chu is right, you are very shameless."

"So, why am I the only one moving?" Yuri asked coldly, holding a box in each hand.

"Uh, Comrade Yuri, no one told you that we should be able to pack our things into a bag and take them away? Moving is moving, but it doesn't really mean that we have to take everything here with our hands!"

Upon hearing this, You Rui turned to look at the other three people, and found that everyone seemed to have put all the things that should be taken away into the luggage space, and she was the only one holding her in her arms.

She was taken aback for a moment, then the tip of her ears turned red to her cheeks, and her snow-white hair swayed slightly.

"By the way, crow." An Senlu suddenly remembered: "Please inform Juliu for me, otherwise Xiao You will return to Shangshi in a foolish manner next time and find that we have all run away."

"Lu-kun, of course I will inform you about this kind of thing, you don't have to worry about it." Urushihara smiled slightly, "You can think about how we can have a good vacation in Norway."

An Senlu stretched his waist, raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Of course, to celebrate the first move of our geek union!"
