Global Games: Old Chess Players

Chapter 253 "Tell me, how many people have to die... before you can wake up?"

An Senlu walked out of the classroom, and the chess field was also put away.

Ritsu Urushihara overturned the pyramid of cards that had just been piled up, and a phantom crow emerged from his fingertips, blocking the exit of the classroom.

He crossed his hands and put them on his chin, and said with a smile: "Did you hear that? The president hopes that you won't go out of here, and I hope you don't bother me."

The school, another empty teaching building, Uesugi Asuka walked into one of the classrooms, sat down by the classroom door, the afterglow of the setting sun shone in, and the faint yellow light shrouded her cheeks.

She curled up into a ball, with her arms around her knees, her hair hanging down, gently scratching her knees.

"Are you there, crying Baolong?" A familiar voice suddenly came from the opposite side of the door.

"...you came to look for me again."

"Yes, I'm here to look for you." Anson Lu paused, and said slowly, "I know you're in a bad mood, but let's go back first, Naxiu is going to divide the myth sequence, and it won't work if everyone is here. "

"I'm a little bit, I can't walk."

"Then I'll carry you on my back."

"Why are you looking for me?" Asuka lowered her eyes, "They died because of me. Are you here to blame me?"

"What else can I do to you? Suicide and apology?" An Senlu said in a low voice, "It's like an idiot, but you should reflect on it for me. I know that Shendai Liuli died. You are very sad, but every day now A battle will affect the life and death of many people, you must adjust immediately, and you cannot act with emotions."

"I'm just useless, I can't do anything..."

"Tell me, how many people have to die... before you can wake up?"

"Wake up to what?"

"Your life is not only your own. They bet their lives to save you because they believe that you can be of greater use, and you are here to beat yourself up..."

"I'm already very tired..." Asuka covered her ears, "Let me be quiet, okay?"

An Senlu's face twitched slightly. He took a deep breath and stood against the door frame. Asuka on the opposite side of the door didn't hear any sound.

Silence fell between the two.

"Liuli said, I'm very dependent on you. She said that I didn't rely on others before, but obviously I have been very dependent on her since a long time ago. I always wanted to leave her and prove something." Asuka said softly: "But in the end, am I just changing someone to rely on?"

"You can completely rely on me, otherwise what is the meaning of my existence as president?"

"I thought about not wanting to rely on you anymore, but without you by my side, I really can't do anything." Asuka whispered, "Just like before, I don't want to rely on Xiao Liuli anymore, so I can't do anything by myself. When I moved to America, it was really lonely at first, but I really, don’t want to depend on anyone anymore.”

"I said, you can rely on me."

"Why, can't I do anything by myself?"

"It's not that you can't do anything. You really like to be brave. It's not a bad thing to rely on others once in a while."

"Then what should I do? It's all my fault, and they will die."

"Adel is still alive, and it's good for him to only be a citizen in the future. Iwata Minoru and Xiong Haodong are dead, and the two sequence players are also dead, but you still have a chance to redeem your sins."

"Atonement?"

"Take their share and kill that white dragon together." An Senlu scratched the bridge of his nose, "Anyway, I'll wait for you in the previous classroom, come here when you feel better."

"Yeah." Asuka responded softly.

An Senlu's voice disappeared, and his footsteps gradually went away. In the silent classroom, Uesugi Asuka hugged her knees, her eyes gradually turned red: "You always do this, come to me, and then leave me behind , leave me alone."

With a sound of "dong", another door of the classroom was suddenly opened, An Senlu walked in, and said, "Look, I don't care about you, you will only cry secretly by yourself."

"Didn't you leave?" Asuka was stunned.

"Of course I lied to you." An Senlu walked slowly towards Asuka, "Let's go back together, Asuka."

"Let me be quiet for a moment, please?"

"... Well, I'll wait for you."

An Senlu sat down beside her and looked out of the window silently. The sun at dusk was slowly sinking below the horizon, seagulls were swimming in the twilight, and the world gradually became dark.

"Kindai Liuli, has been by my side since I was very young."

"Ah."

"At that time, she lived like a tool, and she was always used by people in my family. She was only nine years old, and she had already eliminated many enemies in the underworld for the family." Asuka said, "Not long after that, My father took over the family, and the first order he gave her was to let her follow me and protect me. She followed me like a string puppet every day. When I was in school, she always followed me. Waiting alone at the school gate. When I went out to play, she stayed by the side of the road. When I had dinner with my family, she sat alone in the corner of the room and had to wait for us to finish eating. She can only drink a sip of water after she eats food."

"Every time I was isolated at school and called me a freak or something, I would like to hide in the corner of the room with my pillow in my arms. Every time, every time, she was the first to find me. She always He would ask me angrily, "Miss, who bullied you?"

An Senlu listened quietly without making a sound.

"At that time, I really hoped that she could sit in the classroom like a normal person, that she could hang out with her friends every day, that she could have dinner with her family." Asuka lowered her eyelids, "So, I am alone Went to the United States...well, just because my father said that if I leave Japan at any time, then Jindai Ruri will not have to follow me anymore."

"But actually... I really miss her." She said, "It's so lonely in the United States. I don't even have a friend. When I was in Japan, she would accompany me to fold thousand origami cranes. To make rice cakes, the two of us would sneak out of the mansion in the middle of the night to watch the fireworks conference together. Although she was always the one who was scolded when I came back, she just smiled every time and said to me: Can we be with everyone? I'm very satisfied with the lady staying together."

"You know, I also promised to travel around the world with her." Asuka squeezed out a smile and said optimistically: "Hmph...Although I can't travel with her anymore, I will also travel with her in the future." I can go alone, maybe she is still watching me in the sky, so I can take her share to see the world."

"I have been thinking for the past two days, why did I want to go to the United States at that time? Obviously Xiao Liuli would have liked me to stay by her side, but I thought self-righteously that this would give her freedom, but after she came back It’s changed a lot, she wasn’t like this before, she used to be super obedient, she did whatever I said, always followed me in a kimono, sometimes holding her hand, she would be in a daze for a long time, Then he smiled blankly at me."

"I was thinking, what kind of treatment did she suffer when she stayed in the family? Was it because I was not by her side that she lived a more miserable life? Did she become the same as before, becoming the one in the eyes of those adults? props, and then was forced to change myself until it became what it is today..."

"Asuka, it's not your fault."

"I really..." Asuka sobbed, her voice getting softer, "I miss her so much..."

"She must miss you too." An Senlu whispered, "Gu Qiu told me that Shendai Liuli has always wanted to travel the world with you, and she kept showing off to Cosimo when she was in the law enforcement building. She said that you promised her, it is absolutely impossible to break the oath, saying that she is waiting for you to find her. "

Asuka's eyes turned redder, and she buried her face in her arms, crying.

An Senlu sat beside her, but there was nothing he could do.

He raised his head and looked out the window blankly.

He was already a little tired. For this nonsensical game, there were still four final rounds of dungeons left. As long as he survived these four rounds of dungeons, everything would come to an end.

The setting sun completely dipped below the horizon, the classroom was so dim that there was not a ray of light left, and the night shrouded the two of them like a curtain. sad.

An Senlu moved his eyes: "Are you alright?"

"Hug me..." She asked softly, "Can you?"

"As a friend." Just after An Senlu finished speaking, he approached her resolutely and hugged her tightly, "Asuka, let's go back together."

Asuka Uesugi buried her face in Ansenlu's shoulders, she snuggled up to him like a kitten, and after a long silence, she said softly, "Okay, let's go back."

Soon after, classrooms in the main teaching building.

Seeing that all the players in the dungeon had gathered in the classroom, the Naxiu robot said slowly, "Everyone is here, so let's start assigning the last two mythic sequences."

No one spoke in the classroom, and the atmosphere was a little dignified. Even Juliu began to realize how important Xiong Haodong, a figure used to adjust the atmosphere, was.

"Then let me introduce today's first mythological sequence. The corresponding mythical character comes from Greek mythology, and her name is Tyche." Naxiu said: "Tyche, the goddess of fate in Greek religion, is also known as the goddess of fortune. She often Will distribute good and bad luck among humans at will. The Greek poet 'Hesiod' claims Tyche was the daughter of 'Okeanos the Titan' and his wife 'Tethys'."

"Cut." Juliu held his chin and snorted coldly for some reason.

Almost everyone present, after hearing the relevant narration of this mythological sequence, directly turned their attention to Urushihara Law.

Ritsu Urushihara was still playing cards with a casual look, with a faint smile on his lips.

"It's not running away, it's the mythical sequence of the crow." Anson Lu shrugged.

"I'm not running away." Yuri looked at the book and imitated his tone.

"Are you a robot?" An Senlu glanced at her angrily.

"I'm Anson Deer Robot." The Icelandic girl said flatly.

After that, as expected, the crow won the appreciation of "Goddess of Luck Tiche" and obtained this myth sequence.

"Next is the second mythological sequence," Naxiu said. "This sequence is the god of death and the afterlife from ancient Egyptian mythology——Anubis."

Because the support students will not be assigned to the Mythic Sequence, among the remaining students who do not have the Mythic Sequence, excluding Lan Xiao, Lorenzo, and William, only Anson Shika and Maruyama Jun are left.

Maruyama Jun lowered his head and said nothing. He has been like this since the afternoon. Even in the link of assigning the myth sequence, he couldn't arouse any interest.

What's more, he and An Senlu were the only ones left now.

Thinking with his toes, he knows who will be assigned to the last myth sequence, this is the cruelty of the world.

"The owner of the last myth sequence," said Naxiu, "is our student, Anson Deer."

"Look... Sure enough." Maruyama Jun smiled, he knew it was not his turn.

An Senlu stood up and took the last card of the Mythological Sequence from the podium. He glanced at the card, and it was engraved with a male with a jackal head and a scepter. Its background was an ancient and mysterious door. giant gate.

"Also..." Naxiu on the podium said, "The last round of the Myth Carrier Crusade will start tomorrow, so you must get the Myth Remnant Key tonight, and you must assign personnel before that."

After the words fell, two panels gradually appeared in front of everyone.

[The third round of myth carrier crusade will start shortly. Students are asked to choose one of the following two myth carriers to challenge. 】

[The name of the first mythological carrier: Yamata no Orochi (the prototype comes from Japanese mythology)]

[The challenge difficulty rating of the first mythical carrier: 4.5 stars. 】

[The location of the first mythical carrier: Japan, Tokyo. 】

[Support students of the first mythical carrier: Cosimo (Cyber ​​Assault), Mo Xiaoyuan (Soul Burning Gun). 】

[The name of the second mythological carrier: God of Love and Beauty - Aphrodite (the prototype comes from Greek mythology)]

[The challenge difficulty rating of the second mythical carrier: 4.5 stars. 】

[The location of the second mythical carrier: Greece. 】

[Supporting students with the second mythical carrier: Tong Muli (Bamboo Shadow Healer), Kang Lang (Greedy Traveler). 】

"Because it's dinner time later, please make a decision within an hour." Naxiu reminded.

"President, how do you choose?" Lan Xiao asked.

"Well, you have just joined the union, and you have already started to compete with me for the position of military adviser?" Qi Yuanli flipped the pages of the book and said teasingly.

"I don't have such an idea." Lan Xiao lowered his peaked cap.

"Chu Qimo, William, Juliu, come to my group, let's go to Tokyo, Japan, to fight Yamata no Orochi." An Senlu made a quick decision, "Lorenzo, Crow, Yu Rui, Maruyama Jun, Lan Xiao , Asuka's other group, and attack Aphrodite."

He looked around, his eyes resting on Lorenzo, and he said calmly, "If no one has any objections, then it's decided."

"I'm just an outsider, and you're the one to decide here." Lorenzo hugged his shoulders, speaking calmly.

"Mr. Lu, wouldn't it be inappropriate to deliberately assign these two people to this group?" Qi Yuanlu reminded in a low voice that Chu Qimo and Yuliu had just had a conflict.

"It's just two of them." An Senlu tapped his finger on the table lightly: "Well, that's right."
