Global Games: Old Chess Players

Chapter 259 Good Night, Yuri

The title of the tenth round of dungeons chosen by Anson Deer is "Arctic Train, Twelve Signal Towers".

The location is the corner of the North Pole, and there is an endless snow field as far as the eye can see. A railroad track that looks like it goes straight to the end of the world stands in the middle and continues to rise forward. On the white horizon, it is embedded with thousands of ice layers. into the dark blue sky.

The bleak cold wind blows over the face and pours into the ears and nostrils. The oxygen in the air is horribly low. Ansen Deer's nose is slightly red, and his throat and eardrums are aching.

The branch mission of the copy is very clear. Anson Lu plays a scientific researcher in the Arctic. He needs to take the train to every corner of the Arctic snow field and repair the signal towers passing by. Every time a signal tower is repaired, he can get a certain reward.

Of course, you don’t need to repair it, just take the train to visit the North Pole. After all, this is just an exploratory dungeon with a very high degree of freedom. Players can do whatever they want, as long as they survive a certain number of days without dying.

Due to the harsh climate in the Arctic, players not only have no food sources, but also must act close to the railway tracks. The most important thing is that they cannot leave the train and must resist monsters attacking the train along the way, so this copy is defined as survival. Explore class copies.

The dungeon is limited to two people. An Senlu immediately thought of Yuri, so he invited her into the dungeon.

She accepted.

The white-haired girl stands in the snow field, her figure is so clear and pure, as if she is about to melt into the vast and endless ice and snow like the sea.

"Let's get on the train." An Senlu said slowly.

"it is good."

The surrounding area was covered in snow, and without much hesitation, they boarded the train directly. The brightly lit train started with a roar, and slowly moved towards the front of the railroad tracks, the rolling wheels swaying away snow on the track.

"Just stay on the train?" Yuri tilted his head.

"Well, maybe." An Senlu rubbed his palms and let out a breath of white air: "You can also repair a few more signal towers and get some rewards."

"Signal tower..." Yuri looked out the window, the hazy snow field seemed to cover the whole world, except for the snow and the covered pine forest, she couldn't see anything else at all.

"Should be able to see it soon."

"Are we just going to stay on the train?"

"correct."

An Senlu and You Rui browsed the entire train, and finally found a carriage to rest.

One side of this car is the seat, and the other side is empty, with a window embedded in the wall every two meters.

An Senlu sat down on the seat and looked at You Rui who was standing by the car window. Her eyes were fixed on the snow field, and the snow scene outside the window was changing rapidly.

She just stood there silently, looking out the window blankly, her snow-white strands of hair swaying slightly with the shaking of the train.

Time soon entered dusk, the afterglow sprinkled into the train, dyed You Rui's figure light yellow, and the snow field seemed to become a red forest surrounded by thousands of maple leaves, and then entered the night, and the sky appeared The green aurora is the same color as Yuri's clear eyes.

At the end of the day, An Senlu didn't even say a word. He lowered his head, and his brown eyes were covered by the hanging strands of hair.

He hasn't had his hair cut for a long time.

An Senlu turned his head slowly, looked at the car window behind him, and stared out the window quietly.

He could see the reflection of Yuri on the window, the figure of the white-haired girl reflected on the window overlapped with the aurora like twilight, as if she was standing in the center of the aurora, so trance, so beautiful, as if flying away The passing birds.

"It's almost May..." Yuri said suddenly.

"Correct."

"Countdown, there are still the last fifteen days." Yuri's voice was very calm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

"Fifteen days is quite a long time." An Senlu said softly.

"Summer is coming soon."

"May is summer."

"I can't seem to see it."

"But we are not so rigid in the stone, and April can be considered summer. Well, summer is over, isn't autumn coming soon?"

"This autumn is really far away."

"Yeah, it's really far away."

"Will you wait for me in autumn?"

"Of course, then I will hold your hand, and we will go to see the fallen leaves together, and then laugh at them hard, laughing at them for not being able to survive autumn."

"...Are you an idiot?" Yuri put his hand on his chin and smiled softly.

"Well, I'm such an idiot," said Anson Deer, "but in fact, we may not even count those leaves. After all, they can at least wither in autumn, and we may not live to fall."

"But I met Ni, that's enough." Yuri said softly.

Anson Deer's heart twitched.

He stared at Yuri who looked calm, opened his mouth slightly, and then lowered his eyes.

"Then maybe I'm greedy. I want to be with you forever."

"I'm not greedy," Yuri said softly, "I was thinking... If I hadn't chosen to go with you in the ward at the beginning, would I have died there alone, no one would remember I."

An Senlu's eyes flashed, and he said incoherently:

"You know, I've always wanted to take you to the capital of Iceland, and then give those who use you a hard punch, I want to beat them up in front of you, tell them... how dare you do this How dare the person I care about the most?"

"I really want to kill them all, chop them up and feed them to pigs, and destroy everything that hurt you and imprisoned you, and let that white dragon crush them to pieces..."

"But, you took me to escape from there." Yuri whispered.

She put her hands behind her back and looked at this violent and vulnerable man quietly, as if seeing a side of herself that she had never seen before.

The brightly lit train is still running, and the rumbling sound is accompanied by my ears, and the aurora sprinkled from the night sky covers it with a light green curtain.

"Yes, we have traveled a long way, from Hokkaido, to Tokyo, then the Pacific Ocean and Denmark, and now we are almost at the North Pole."

"I still want to walk a longer distance with you, as long as I'm with you, I want to go everywhere."

"Me too." An Senlu said hoarsely.

"I really want to meet your uncles and cousins." Yuri lowered his head, his snow-white hair hanging down, "I want to hear something about you from them."

She said softly:

"I want to know you since I was very young, I want to see you every day when I open my eyes, and I want to have you by my side when I close my eyes every day.

"There is something I really want to tell you.

"I've always been afraid to say this to you...

"Because before, I didn't know what liking was at all. If I said something wrong, then I was lying to you...

"But I understand now.

"I like it. I feel very sad when I part with someone. My heart feels like it's burning, and I feel like I've fallen into the sea. It's so lonely..."

She spoke softly under the aurora, and the turbulent train swayed her figure gently.

"You know, my father abandoned me and my mother, and my mother said I was an emotionless monster who couldn't share her pain.

"I went to study hard, I worked very hard, I tried very hard to understand her, I wanted to become an emotional person, not cold.

"I'm really, really...really trying to pretend.

"But, mother, hanged herself in front of me."

An Senlu froze for a moment, his lips could not utter a sound, but a strong sense of sadness filled his heart.

The train slowly drove into the tunnel, and the cold darkness enveloped the carriage.

"At that time, I was thinking..." Yuri lowered his eyes slowly, "Because I am an emotionless monster, I failed to understand my mother well, so my mother left me."

"No..." An Senlu lowered his head and said weakly, "It's not what you think."

"I like Ansenlu." Yuri murmured, "I'm not a monster without feelings anymore, no one will abandon me...Because I'm not a monster without feelings anymore, so...I can say this to you, Right?"

Her voice was weak, as if asking Anson Deer for help.

"You have always..." An Senlu's heart hurts: "You shouldn't be abandoned, your father and your mother too, they should never say you are a monster, they are wrong."

"Am I not a monster?" she asked seriously.

An Senlu collapsed, the light in his eyes brightened for a moment, then quickly dimmed.

After a moment, he said hoarsely, "You were never monsters, they were."

"...Then I am qualified and have feelings?"

"Ah."

"...I like Anson Deer."

"I'm listening."

"...I really like Anson Deer."

"I heard."

"My emotions... are not fake."

"it is true."

"I'm not lying, I'm not pretending, I'm real...really..." she said softly, over and over again:
"Really love Anson deer."

"I really like Yuri too."

He spoke with almost all his strength, and he held the girl's cold hand tightly, hugged her thin body, and stuck his snow-white hair to his cheek.

In the darkness of the tunnel, the Icelandic girl was like a cat who was inseparable, with her head gently resting on his shoulder, and her clear eyes were covered with mist.

"Can you... tell me again?" she asked softly.

"I like this girl from Iceland."

"I like the way she skis, the way she reads, the way she thinks about problems seriously, and the way she pretends to be indifferent and very concerned."

"I don't want her to leave me, but I know we have to say goodbye for a while, I am in pain, but I just keep running away."

"I obviously don't want to run away, and I know it will make her very heartbroken. She is not an emotionless robot. You will get hurt, shed tears, and like cute little animals."

"But I was so useless that I let her speak up, and I would just be alone in my heart."

After the two were silent for a long time, the train drove out of the tunnel. In the moonlight-filled carriage, the corners of Yuri's mouth slightly raised, but tears kept rolling down his cheeks.

After a while, she said softly, "She said... that she forgave you."

"Really?"

"Ah."

Time passed quickly, and the three days in the North Pole dungeon gradually passed by, and every minute and every second was so precious to Ansenlu.

They got off the train, walked on the snow field, stepped on the ice of the North Pole, and the glacier reflected the sky full of aurora.

Occasionally, a polar bear visits. After Ansen deer subdues it, he watches Yuri gently stroke its fur and whisper something to it.

"We're leaving, Mr. Bear."

An Senlu didn't know the future, so he could only focus on the present, and stared at the girl beside him.

She is like snow.

It appeared, fell down, and was about to disappear again.

It is always so cold, even if it is held in the palm of your hand, it seems to melt at any time.

After leaving the dungeon, Ansenlu did not stay in Norway, he collected a lot of travel papers, and ran with Yuri to places where no one knew them.

Sitting on a train or plane, listening to the roar of the engine, seems to be able to take your thoughts far away.

They went to Tokyo, walked through the noisy crowd, and saw the world-famous Sky Tree. It was raining lightly that day. They held umbrellas and held hands. Their backs gradually faded away on the long street, like a long shot in a movie.

In London again, slowly dancing under Big Ben, the girl's clumsy steps, but the boy's detached intuition and gentle tugging on her, they danced well and drew applause.

Finally, they went to Nice, France, where they swore in front of the Mediterranean Sea, the blue water was as blue as the sky, listening to their declaration.

The countdown was ticking, and by 4 p.m. on April 30, it had less than seven hours left.

Dusk enveloped the vast Mediterranean Sea, and shrouded the brightly lit houses located on the hills. Every house was brightly lit. Only the two of them stood on the coast, watching the birds pass by the lonely lighthouse, watching the tide rise and fall Volts, ships come and go.

The mountains and forests in the distance are like a red sea. Tens of thousands of hectares of wind caressed, and the red sea swayed, making a rustling sound.

The pale yellow afterglow dyed the girl's hair golden yellow, no longer sickly white, and her clear eyes shone brightly in the setting sun.

They didn't say a word, just sat on the wooden chairs by the sea, holding hands, quietly watching the sea and the villages scattered on the mountainside being shrouded in night.

Everything is silent, only the sound of the tide, the shore wind, and the "tick" of the countdown.

The flower of the ice field in the girl's hand swayed gently, and a piece of dark blue petals drifted away, following the tide of the Mediterranean Sea.

"Yuri, are you afraid?" An Senlu looked into the distance.

"You are here," she said.

"When I come to you, we will meet in autumn." An Senlu hooked the corners of his mouth and said confidently: "Before then, you may have to sleep for a long time."

"I will wait for you for a long time. I hope that when I wake up, you will be by my side." The girl's snow-white hair fluttered in the wind, "Otherwise... I will be unhappy."

"Of course, I will be the first person in this world to greet you."

"That's good."

"How about we open a bookstore when you come back?"

"Okay."

"Go to a place where no one knows us, so that you can read books every day, and you don't have to borrow books from others."

"Well, I'm so happy."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"The sea breeze is so strong."

"There are some."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Kissing, so this is what it feels like..."

"It's amazing."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Again."

"it is good."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Speaking of... Yuri, what is the name of our bookstore?"

"What do you say?"

"Ah, why not call it Anson Lu and Yuri's bookstore?"

"Hmm... are you an idiot?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Hands, it's so cold..."

"I hold your hand."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Anson Deer, are you there?"

"I'm here."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Deer, are you still there?"

"I am still here."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"are you here?"

"I'm on your side."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"I can't see anything anymore."

"I am here."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Are you with me?"

"I'm still here."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"I... like Anson Deer."

"I like Yuri too."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"I really like Anson Deer."

"I like Yuri very much, too."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"I seem... to be a little sleepy."

"Then go to sleep."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Good night... Anson Deer."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Good night, Yuri."

An Senlu lowered his eyes and spoke softly.

The ticking sound of the countdown stopped, and the girl in his arms condensed into ice, gradually turned into ice dust and dispersed, and disappeared at the other end of the Mediterranean Sea.
