Global Games: Old Chess Players

Chapter 186 I Will Not Get Lost

An Senlu was silent for a long time, then slowly raised his head, looking at Asuka, he seemed to want to say something, but he just let out a breath of hot air, his cheeks and ears were stinging from the cold wind.

"Asuka, if you are free, how about going to the top of the mountain with me?" He asked.

"……Can."

"Okay." An Senlu passed by her and said softly, "Also, don't cry, it will really be a crying dragon."

He put his hands in his pockets, and walked slowly towards the path leading to the top of the snow mountain, Asuka followed him, their steps were sometimes at the same pace, sometimes they were staggered, and they were getting farther and farther behind.

It was early morning and the fog was still very heavy.

The forest seemed to be covered with a snow-white curtain, and the wind in the forest was very strong.

Asuka Uesugi wiped the red corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, and looked quietly at the back of Ansenlu. He walked up without saying a word, never stopping.

The boy's back flickered in the mist, he never looked back, he just kept going forward.

After an unknown amount of time, the two arrived at the top of the mountain. An Senlu stood on top of a snow-covered rock and looked far away at the town of Liukan surrounded by mountains.

Asuka looked along his line of sight, the existence of Liukan Town was very unique, like a piece of man-made artwork embedded in nature, out of tune with this world.

After a moment of silence, An Senlu suddenly pulled out his bony right hand from his pocket, stretched out his right hand, pointed his index finger at the foot of the mountain, and said nothing.

"What's wrong?" Asuka asked.

"From here, I want to open up a ski trail." An Senlu wrapped his scarf tightly and said slowly: "I can almost do this in half a day at most."

……ski?
...Did he ask me to come to the mountain just to talk about this matter?

"Yeah." Asuka lowered her head.

An Senlu exhaled again, rubbed his palms, and stared straight ahead: "Dragon of Darkness is a kind of chess, which is quite convenient for this kind of thing."

"...Yes." Asuka's face was buried deeper and deeper.

"After the completion, everyone can ski here in the future." Ansen Lu said, "Yuri, she will be very happy to be able to ski here in the future."

"……Yes."

"There is no ski resort in Shangshi. In the past, when she wanted to ski, she had to fly to other places with a travel roll. I was actually a little worried about her. After all, she has no contact with the outside world, lacks common sense, and doesn't even know how to use a mobile phone. .”

Uesugi Asuka didn't speak any more, she just lowered her head, her brown hair gently covering her beautiful face.

"Well, lack of sunlight is also a problem." Anson Lu thought, "I'm actually wondering if it's possible to destroy a nearby mountain range so that sunlight can shine into Liukan Town."

"……it is good."

"Speaking of it, this seems to be the first time that I have thought so much about others," An Senlu said softly, "That's why I slowly discovered that she is very important to me."

"...that would be great."

"I have imagined the future with her many times in my mind, whether it is as a friend, a family member, or anything else." An Senlu looked at the winter sky and said softly:

"Well, as long as she can be by my side, everything else doesn't matter."

"..." Asuka opened her mouth slightly, unable to speak.

"However, she may have no future."

An Senlu breathed out a turbid hot breath, and said calmly: "So, no matter what the final outcome is, I want to spend this time with her as much as possible."

"what about me?"

Ansenlu stretched out his right arm, as if he wanted to gently rub Asuka's hair, but he put his hands in his pockets in the end.

"You don't have to wait for me."

"Well, I see." Asuka Uesugi raised her head, with a smile on her lips, "Let me help you build the ski slope, too. Two dragons come faster than one."

An Senlu froze for a moment, "Okay."

"We're still good friends?"

"Yes, I don't have such a good friend as you."

"That's good."

"Don't cry, I will feel guilty."

Asuka Uesugi took a deep breath, raised her resentful eyes, her tear-stained cheeks were red, her eyes were fierce like a domineering penguin, and she came over to take a bite in a daze.

"Forget about it," she said.

An Senlu helplessly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender: "Okay, I forgot."

"Take it as the reward for the ski slopes, and you must forget everything that happened just now——!!!"

"Of course, buddies still value promises."

"After that we can go on as usual, right?"

"Please, otherwise, you still have to fight a symbolic Cold War?"

"I'm so annoying, I'm so annoying, you are really annoying!" Uesugi Asuka wiped away tears, raised her fist, paused in the air, and punched Ansenlu's waist.

"You can push harder."

"roll."

"It's time for lunch, why don't you come and compare who will go back to Liukan Town first?"

"Row."

"Old rules, the loser eats with his nose... Oh shit, why did you become a dragon?! Isn't that fair? Hey, stop it?!"

In the distance, Ritsu Urushihara raised his head, his deep eyes looked at the sky.

An Senlu was riding the Dragon of Darkness, chasing the figure of the red dragon in front of him, galloping down from the top of the mountain, the trees along the way were involved in it tragically, and dispersed like a snowstorm.

"You are really energetic, as expected of Mr. Lu and Ms. Asuka."

Chu Qimo also raised his head, looked at this outrageous scene, and said thoughtfully: "President, what are you doing now, comparing the flying speed of the legendary chess species with Asuka's flying speed, who is the difference between the two?" Is it faster?"

"Perhaps." Urushihara smiled.

Afternoon, Crow's house.

You Rui woke up not long ago, she sat on the window sill reading a book, the branches outside the window swayed gently in the wind, and a smear of residual snow fell.

"Then, here comes the problem." Anson Lu raised his chin, and said unhurriedly: "Crow, the five of us will stay here until the dungeon starts on February 2th, and we need at least 15 travel tickets, right?"

"Mr. Lu, this is not a problem. Three travel coupons can be exchanged for a big travel coupon in the mall. The function of the big travel coupon is to allow a player to stay in a specific city for 3 days."

"Oh, it's all right." An Senlu calculated, and continued to look down at the phone.

According to the crow, each person only needs to allocate a large travel coupon to last until the time to enter the dungeon-in this way, a total of 15 travel coupons will be needed to redeem, and they can still get it together.

After that, as long as you enter the instance, you will be able to change the city of residence during the vacation time.

At this moment, Chu Qimo was watching a popular video on Twitter on his mobile phone.

——[It’s really a wall and everyone pushes it. According to the "Peerless Sakura Knife" of the law enforcement team, the most wanted criminal "Old Chess Player An Senlu" is very likely to be a gay man!]

"puff!"

An Senlu directly sprayed out the water he just drank into his mouth, coughing violently.

"Hahahahaha!"

Uesugi Asuka laughed from ear to ear, and almost smashed the table.

An Senlu wiped the water from the corner of his mouth, and said contemptuously, "Mr. Chu, can you stop playing these gossip videos?"

"President, I'm just learning about the current situation, and this blogger's video is quite authentic."

"Damn it, that green tea girl named Jindai Ruri." An Senlu cursed, "I said you Japanese are really wicked, and you can do such tricks."

"Good job, little Ruri!" Asuka called Jindai's name directly for the first time.

——【Don’t worry, everyone. After using the player item ‘Nano Quick-Action Medical Spray’, Lorenzo’s right arm lost in the Battle of Moscow has recovered, and the doctor confirmed that there will be no residual symptoms. 】

"So, Mr. Lu..." Urushihara asked with his hand on his chin when he heard this, "Are you acting, or did you really fight with Lorenzo who ran away?"

The crow asked, and Chu Qimo looked at An Senlu curiously.

After all, before that, Anson Lu didn't talk much about Moscow. After he came back from Moscow, he just briefly explained some matters, and then left the words "I'm going to move" and then disappeared.

"Please, of course it's acting." An Senlu said lightly.

Ritsu Urushihara hesitated for half a second, then asked again: "For the sake of acting, you used Captain Dragon Fan to cut off one of Lorenzo's arms?"

An Senlu nodded, disapproving, "Yes, of course you have to play a full set of acting, otherwise it would be suspicious, but Lorenzo himself agreed, so I will do it."

After a pause, he continued: "Besides, it's not just Lorenzo who was injured, that guy also gave me a 'spirit blast' skill, and I feel like my brain is about to explode on the spot."

"So that's the case." Ritsu Urushihara smiled slightly.

Hearing this, Chu Qimo suddenly asked, "Speaking of which, has the president never suffered any substantial damage from the evolution game to the present?"

In his impression, no matter what kind of battle, An Senlu was always the one who was able to handle it with ease and was unscathed. After the fight, he often didn't even have his clothes torn.

"Really?" Asuka looked at An Senlu.

"Oh, it seems to be." An Senlu was also taken aback. "So, my blood volume has never dropped at all, except when a crying dragon became angry and punched me with his fist."

"Leaving aside, whether my punch is powerful enough to make you lose blood." Asuka Uesugi said coldly, "Even if it is really possible, I don't mind letting you lose a little more blood."

"Be merciful."

The sound of the video is still going on, passing into the ears of the five people, and at the same time, it automatically becomes the language they are familiar with.

——【As the captain of the law enforcement team, Lorenzo said that there is still room for redemption of the former chess player Ansenlu. He is still a human companion, but the public is not willing to accept this statement. 】

——[National teams and law enforcement teams from all over the world have solemnly promised that they will bring Anson to justice and give the Russian people an explanation. 】

"It's just killing a few scumbags, is it really that serious?" Asuka asked with a soft sigh.

Ritsu Urushihara flipped through the Bible and retorted casually: "No, Ms. Asuka, if the identities of those scumbags are exposed, then Lorenzo's situation will be in danger."

"Ha, why?"

"If the public knows that those dead players are scumbags who betrayed Cosimo, then a discerning person will be able to see the truth at a glance." Chu Qimo explained instead of the crow:

"If the identities of those dead Russian players were concealed from the outside world, it would be reasonable to simply attribute the matter to 'the old chess players ran away and massacred innocents'."

"Oh, that's right, otherwise others will immediately see the strangeness."

"Yes, if everyone knows that the players who died were the ones who betrayed Cosimo." Chu Qimo added:
"Compared to the old chess players, Pope Kuangzhong will be more suspicious, because he is Cosimo's elder brother, it is impossible to be indifferent to this, even breaking an arm to prevent Mr. Lu from killing that group of people."

"I understand." Asuka nodded.

An Senlu sighed, "Please, don't you understand such a simple logic?"

Asuka satirized: "Hehe, how could I know that our President Lu is so self-sacrificing? I don't know if it's a ghost. I feel that the air is a bit cold these days."

"It's not normal for Norway to be colder than Shangshi." An Senlu said lightly, "In short, there is nothing to explain in the meeting today, so I will go back and rest first."

"Go all the way, Mr. Lu."

"President, I will inform you of the latest information, so you can leave with peace of mind."

"Be careful not to fall to your death on the road."

"Haha, I'm really convinced of you." An Senlu looked at the three of them helplessly, their tone was as if they were going to a funeral for themselves, and there was a feeling that goodbye was goodbye forever.

He stood up from the table cursingly, moved his brown eyes inadvertently, and looked at Yuri who was sitting on the window sill reading a book. She also raised her head just in time, and the two met their gazes.

You Rui closed the book, fell lightly from the window sill, walked to An Senlu's side, gently pinched the corner of his clothes, "Play a game."

"What do you want to play?"

"my world."

"Okay, don't dig too deep and get lost this time." An Senlu teased.

He still remembered the last time he played "Minecraft" with this Icelandic girl. She used a workbench to make an iron pickaxe, dug all the way to the ground, locked herself in the mine and couldn't get out.

"Then build your home in the sky this time." Yuri said lightly.

Suddenly, An Senlu froze for a moment, thinking that this genius girl next to her has super memory, how could she get lost?
"I was fooled by you again, can you still get lost by playing a game with your memory?" He shrugged.

"I'm not going to get lost, I just want you to come and find me," she whispered.

"Then you look down on me too much." An Senlu rubbed her white hair, "Whether you are lost or not, I will come to you."

Yuri didn't speak, but raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Did you see there?" An Senlu suddenly raised his finger.

The Icelandic girl raised her eyes and looked at the mountain road that had been ravaged by Ansenlu's Dragon of Darkness and Dragon-formed Asuka.

From the top to the bottom, basically every tree on the way is broken and deeply sunk into the snow, giving people a very messy look, as if they have just experienced an avalanche.

"What's wrong?" She tilted her head, her snow-white hair swaying slightly.

"I'm going to get a ski trail there, so I don't have to go all the way to Japan and the United States to go skiing." An Senlu raised the corners of his mouth and said lightly:
"Of course, there are many interesting ski resorts in Norway. For example, Lillehammer is a famous ski resort. We can go there together."

"...I am very happy."

"Are you really happy?" An Senlu looked at her suspiciously.

"Recently, I've started to feel some emotion," she said, "from getting to know you."

"That's good." An Senlu froze for a moment, then said with a chuckle, "Isn't it good?"
