Global Games: Old Chess Players

Chapter 64 You are the same kind
9 years ago, Japan, a small village near Tokyo.

Songs sounded in the empty and quiet fields, and the rice fields stretching for several kilometers were extraordinarily quiet at sunset, like a golden sea tide, swaying gently under the caress of the wind.

The setting sun, which is about to sink into the horizon, elongates the shadow of the rice field and casts it on the train track in the distance.

The girl was wearing a straw hat and a light white dress. With her hands behind her back, she walked briskly on the rusty track.

The man sat nearby, flipping through a book, he looked up.

In the gentle eyes, the delicate girl like a doll walks on the rusty track, and the strands of hair dyed pale gold by the afterglow are blowing away in the wind.

He smiled and said something.

The girl turned her head and met the man's gaze, "Really?!"

"Really." The man smiled lightly at her.

"Great, Dad!"

"Let's go, Asuka." He slowly stood up and picked up the heavy suitcase, "It will be a long time before we arrive in Tokyo."

"Yeah!" Asuka nodded vigorously.

"Remember what I said, never show your dragon side to others." The man stroked Asuka's hair and said softly, "Asuka, this is a secret between us."

"I will, Dad."

The dream suddenly shattered, everything was drawn into the end of the track, and all the fragments were reassembled and released outside.

The scene this time is a middle school classroom.

A classmate with a bandage on his face looked at Uesugi Asuka who walked into the classroom in astonishment, and shouted hoarsely:

"Monster, Asuka is a monster, stay away from her!!!"

"Matsumoto, wasn't your wound bitten by Maruyama's dog? What are you talking about?"

"Maruyama, Iwata, you believe me!" The bandaged classmate yelled, "It's Asuka, it's Asuka, what I saw with my own eyes is definitely not an illusion, she turned into a dragon!"

"She's a monster!!!"

"Why don't you believe me!!"

"She's not human at all!!!"

The gazes of everyone in the classroom, like a swarm of insects, climbed onto the girl's body one after another, eating away at every corner of her body.

Her whole body became weak.

Uesugi Asuka clenched her fists and bit her lip.

"I"

She seemed to want to say something, but couldn't.

"It's his fault. It's because he's too close to me. He should stay away from me." She whispered.

I did not do it on purpose
I obviously don't want to hurt him
The brown strands of hair blinded her eyes, but her pupils could be seen to be scarlet and fragile like a vampire.

"It's fine if you don't approach me?" She grinned and said disdainfully.

I do not have.
I'm not.
I don't think so at all.
"Look, she admitted it, I didn't lie!" The boy in the bandage said tremblingly, "I didn't, why don't you believe me, she is a monster, you all listen to a monster?"

"Yup!!"

Asuka raised her head abruptly, her tear-filled eyes were filled with blood red.

The corners of her mouth were raised high, but the tears kept streaming down, her voice was clear and full of resentment.

"I am a monster!"

"I HATE YOU, HATE YOU ALL!!!"

"Everyone should stay away from me, everyone should stay away from me!!!"

December 12, late at night, in a room in the stateroom of the Titanic.

Uesugi Asuka woke up from the dream.

She was panting heavily, her pupils gradually becoming scarlet reflected the unfamiliar ceiling, the pupils shrank like a beast, then gradually enlarged and returned to their original shape.

Violent emotions dominate the heart, as if there is a wild beast breeding in the heart, feeding on hatred, fear, and indifference, it continues to grow like thorns, spreads to the entire heart, and wraps it tightly.

Uesugi Asuka's eyes dimmed.

She lowered her head and looked at the extended nails, revealing the dragon's claws faintly.

"boring."

She murmured softly, her long brown hair covering the side of her face.

"boring."

She tore the bear pillow with her sharp nails, making a gash.

"boring."

Cotton kept protruding from the hole in the bear pillow, and once a hole was torn, it couldn't stop.

"Are you OK?"

An Senlu's voice came from outside the room of the stateroom, and Asuka remembered that there was someone standing guard outside.

She was silent for a moment, put down her pillow, and whispered:
"fine."

"Oh, I think I heard you talking in your sleep."

"Ha." Asuka Uesugi frowned slightly, "What did I say?"

"You said it." Anson Lu paused and said, "Dad, I'm sorry, I miss you very much."

Uesugi Asuka's pupils shrank slightly.

In the dead and dark room, the blush in her eyes was as bright as blood, but it quickly dimmed, like an extinguished fire.

"Eavesdropping is not a good habit." She said coldly.

Anson Lu dismissed, "You yelled too loudly, normal people would do this when they have nightmares."

Asuka's face turned red, she bit her lip lightly, and threw the pillow hard.

"To shut up!"

"Boom."

It is the sound effect of minesweeper failure.

An Senlu put away his phone and yawned.

"Okay, I'm sorry, Master Long, I was wrong, you can sleep peacefully, you will take over my shift later."

A long silence enveloped the two of them.

An Senlu didn't say much, but just played another game of minesweeping.

"Honestly, you're so hypocritical that it makes me sick," Asuka said.

"what?"

Uesugi Asuka curled up in the room with the bear pillow hugged by 'Luza', she said softly:

"Is it really fun to lie and play dumb?"

An Senlu was silent for half a second, teasingly said:
"Hehe, I just said goodbye to 'Crow One' and here comes 'Crow Two' again. I'm really tired."

"Crow One, who is that?" Asuka Uesugi was baffled.

"Don't care." Anson Lu scratched his hair, "So, we've only known each other for so long, why do you think you know me well?"

"Hmph, I just understand."

"Okay, I'm sorry, I'm hypocritical, I'm disgusting, I'm ashamed of human beings."

"Not so."

"What's that like?" Anson Lu said, "By the way, you should also reflect on yourself as a young lady. You are arrogant, aggressive, and self-righteous. I think you are quite disgusting."

"Wow—"

The sound of the tide.

Then, there was a two-second silence.

An Senlu paused with his fingers playing minesweeper, he was a little worried whether he had overdone it.

"Well, that's who I am."

Asuka unexpectedly did not refute.

An Senlu sighed softly, he felt an inexplicable sense of guilt, "Actually, you're okay, you're not that annoying."

"As you said before, I really don't understand you." Asuka said softly:
"Everyone is going crazy. Regarding your video, I thought you were a stupid idiot who suddenly became capable and then suddenly expanded. After I actually got to know you, I realized that it was completely different."

"Oh, what's the difference?"

"You are ten times stronger than I imagined, and you are calm, and you will not be afraid of anything." Uesugi Asuka tucked her cheeks into her knees and said slowly:

"The appearance in the video is fake, right?"

"So what about pretending?"

"Aren't you tired?"

"If I don't cater to others, my situation will only become more troublesome." An Senlu turned off his phone and leaned against the door, "So, what do you want to say?"

"I feel quite tired." The girl said softly, "Be careful not to show any flaws, this is really exhausting."

"What's so good about you? If you can afford a high school in New York, you should be a wealthy young lady, right?"

"It's half."

"That's right." Ansen Lu raised his head and said calmly:

"It's good to have money at home, unlike me, pocket money can't even afford steamed buns, and I dare not take bowls when others don't move chopsticks at home; I don't have any friends at school, everyone laughs at me. The orphan of my parents, I can only live in other people's homes as a parasite, when they are showing off their toys between classes, I act like a fool and quickly hide in the toilet."

Uesugi Asuka was stunned for a long time, and said in disbelief:

"It turns out that you are so miserable."

An Senlu touched his nose, "It's okay."

silence.

It was the usual silence again, as if everything was swallowed by the night.

"If I say," she said.

"Say what?" Anson Lu asked.

"I said." Uesugi Asuka tilted her head, "I have been a dragon since I was born, and it is not a player's skill at all. In fact, I have been like that since the beginning, do you believe it?"

"Believe it." An Senlu said, "This world is so magical, what else is impossible?"

"Well, so I can't have friends, or rather, I can't have close friends. I might hurt them, and they might hurt me. If I'm found out, I'll have to transfer. Handle it." She said:
"Every time at this time, he would look at me with disappointed eyes and say, 'Asuka, I told you, no, you can't expose yourself to others'."

"That was miserable."

"So, every time I see the look in my father's eyes, I feel very guilty, every time I feel guilty, I feel guilty about why I didn't hide better, why I made friends, and why I got close to others."

"It's not your fault either."

"I wish I hadn't been born."

"Think about the good, in fact, your ability can also bring you some benefits."

"Like what?"

"For example, you can open a winter swimming club, and then throw these idiots who signed up into the Atlantic Ocean one by one like Xiong Haodong." An Senlu yawned, his voice was a little confused.

"Ha, ha ha ha" Uesugi Asuka was amused, she hugged her stomach and chuckled, and said angrily:

"I really convinced you."

With tears in his eyes from yawning, Anson Lu said calmly:
"It's not good for you to be like this. What I hate the most is people who pretend to be deep. I hope that no matter how painful I am, I can still live happily, even if I pretend."

"Okay, then I will learn from you, comrade great old chess player." Asuka said respectfully.

"Can you stop being awkward suddenly, Comrade Scarlet Dragon Wing." An Senlu said helplessly.

Uesugi Asuka hugged the broken bear, retracted into the bed, and said with a hint of joy in her voice:
"I won't, comrade former chess player, the revolution has not yet succeeded, you continue to stand guard, I will go to sleep first."

An Senlu said, "Sleep, I really don't want the two of us to be crushed by that pirate ghost ship with dark circles under our eyes."

　Seek to follow up tomorrow.

　　Everyone must remember to give me a follow-up within 24 hours on Monday. It is really important. I want to go to Sanjiang! !
