Chart Topper Queen

From the very beginning, in the chess game set up by Ott, the weapons that can kill the Archons are not the so-called special weapons.

He expected that there was a murder case, and the red team would arrange a player in the weapons research institute, so it was logical to pay attention to this suspended weapons research project. If Ott has the ability to create advanced weapons, the person behind the project is probably himself. The reason why Lan Fang wanted to attack the Weapons Research Institute was to cover up what he really wanted to do. The best time to blow up the arsenal is in the first round. Why didn't they think of it as the layout party?

Because it's just a blindfold.

With the explosion of the research institute ahead, who will notice that their real purpose is to find Mr. Rabbit and solve the loopholes in their own layout. The main chess player of the red side at that time not only did not notice, but was led by their noses and put all their focus on this weapon.

If at first, Fanny had the slightest doubts about the weapon—because it was Eze’s judgment—then after discovering that it was about to be destroyed, she saw it as the only key to breaking the game. So when Abe destroyed it, her emotions suddenly collapsed.

But... why public opinion?

"Why public opinion?" Isser asked.

"Because it's a scam." Ai Bei said while rolling the newspaper, smiling like he was lying, but the fact of rolling the newspaper made her more interested.

It represents the physique in the game, that is, the upper limit of blood volume, or the defense power, and this word also represents "deception" and "deception".

"Physical defense is a scam, so what is the truth?"

Ize blurted out: "Mental power."

"Yes, it's not attack power, but mental power that is compared with defensive power. The higher his defensive power is, the more fragile his mental power is. So simple weapons can't kill him."

The original intention of Ott's design is not necessarily related to this word, but Abe thought the coincidence was very interesting after thinking about it, and for Yize and the audience, this kind of explanation is simple and intuitive, and it couldn't be better.

And this was the hint that Mr. Rabbit had given her from the very beginning.

In the first round, she played a small game called "Give Mr. Rabbit a Headache". Simple body collisions and mischief couldn't give him a headache. In the end, it was the crying of the children that made him surrender. A strange opening game, a strange ending. But if Lan Fang is regarded as Mr. Rabbit, how can he make Lan Fang a headache?

This conclusion was sent to Ai Bei's hand from the beginning, and this is the little reward given by Mr. Rabbit.

Mr. Rabbit, who will give key "weapon" tips, is naturally inclined to the red camp, so she does not need to confirm the true identity of the other party. Of course, it's not too hard to guess.

There are only three camps in a chess game, the red side, the blue side, and a mysterious "Messenger of God".

He is not a person from the red side, and the identity of the blue side is ruled out after the "look at each other in the bar". On the day he appeared in the bar, there was a "dust explosion" in the bar that spread the epidemic, so he belonged to the "Messenger of God" and was one of them. This is his second identity.

"Actually, the world of chess has given us a lot of tips. If we don't fight the public opinion war, then the deliberate appearance of the newspaper and the existence of the organization will lose its meaning. When telling a story, how can we not use all the elements? "

Yize nodded, but he still had a lot of things he didn't understand.

The way Ai Bei explained to them was like peeling an onion, a layer of skin fell off, the "truth" was spicy and irritating, but when he looked closely, he was still wrapped in layers of thin white skin, which seemed to be able to see through at a glance, but always Can't see the core.

Now he is most curious than - "How can she use public opinion as a weapon?"

Ai Bei was walking on the street, people were crowding shoulder to shoulder in the bustling commercial street, fashionable girls were carrying shopping bags returned from victory, and men were chatting in open-air cafes with cigars in their mouths. The main city was still peaceful and prosperous, and the death of Consul A did not cause any discussion. There was no news, no reports, no one-to-one conversation, and no gossip. The people present that day seemed to have been bribed by others, and invariably "lost their memory".

Everyone didn't stop work because of the death of Consul A, as if the Consul did not really die, but a puppet who died. And the real consul is still maintaining the stable operation of the main city behind the scenes.

But here is the world of chess where information is transmitted backwards, and that information may just not be delivered.

All she has to do is get the message into everyone's ears.

The secret code that Mr. Rabbit and her agreed to is in this area. She bought a cone and decided to look for it while eating.

How to use public opinion as a weapon?

For those in politics, the popularity of the people is very important, and the "Messenger of God" destroyed the main city, posing a great threat to the safety of the people. This is the knife sent to them. When people know that the consul they trust is actually colluding with terrorists such as "Messenger of God", who sacrifice their lives to the devil in a sensational way of attacking the city hall, just to cooperate with businessmen and make huge profits through weapons trading, I don't know what to think?

The city hall did issue a ban on weapons, but the underground black market existed strangely and could never be banned.

And to get the evidence of their collusion, it is necessary to rely on the key figure of Mr. Rabbit.

Mr. Rabbit also has a third identity - the "Opener". This is the title she gave him. When the consuls, the messengers of God, and the richest man are performing behind the scenes, he will lift the curtain and make the dark stage public. This is his task. Outside the story of Chess World, he played the role of a "reminder", and in the story of Chess World, he thought she had the same purpose as him, so he was willing to give her the information he had collected.

For that group, it might be more appropriate to call him a rebel.

In his hands, he has the evidence of collusion between the consul and the "Messenger of God". As long as Aibe gets it and makes it public, it will cause a fatal blow to the reputation of the consul.

This is what Aibe called the "weapon of public opinion", and the core that acts on the world of chess is "spiritual attack".

The consul, who originally died on the stage, was full of drama to the public and was the first performance after the unveiling. But now it seems that the charity auction, which is only carried out within the powerful and only invited representatives of individual civilians, cannot break through the blockade of public opinion by the blue party.

Then she could only make the stage explode once more.

The process of Abe looking for the information hidden by Mr. Rabbit is like shooting an advertisement for ice cream. The double scenes merged, the double-colored spiral cream reflected the spiral staircase in the building, and Aibe spiraled upwards. When the sweet and delicious creamy liquid gradually melted in his mouth, the disguised "Spy Aibe" had obtained the top-secret information. However, he was reluctant to throw away the protective props, standing under the signboard of the ice cream shop, eating the crispy egg skin bit by bit.

The next step is to get this information to a mass communication agency that they can log out of…

Suddenly, her phone rang.

It was Ize who called, and there was a trace of anxiety in his steady voice: "Ott is gone!"

"Don't worry." Ai Bei finished the last bite of the egg skin, "Speak slowly."

"After you left, the child in their family suddenly came back."

"Lick?"

"Yes, I can only ask Fanny to hide Aldridge and Ott, and deal with him as the project leader of the Weapons Research Institute who was invited..." He said, with annoyance in his voice, " As a result, he found the loophole, and when I ran to the master bedroom without noticing, I had to tie him up too. But when I got back to the master bedroom, Ott was gone, Fanny was unconscious, Aldrich Same. I was too careless."

Abe said: "He wants to leave, but you really can't keep him."

Just as the two were talking, there were suddenly many freshly released newspapers on the street. Abe borrowed a copy across the low wall of the rose hedge in the outdoor cafe. The above is a special account of the city hall charity gala, accompanied by a photo of Consul A shaking hands with the people, as well as the amount and whereabouts of the funds raised. The almost transparent auction and donation process is full of praise from passers-by. But the news of Archon A's death was not mentioned in the newspapers, covering up the truth.

It seems that Ott took the lead and occupied the position of public opinion.

Although Archon A is not the real target person, if Fanny doesn't fight with her and finds out that he is not a dead chess player and gets rid of him early, Blue will lose the chess piece on the bright side, and he will not gradually turn back the support of the people. .

Yize said that after the blue side completes the layout, the mastermind will tear a hole according to their layout. If the blue side can fill the hole, then they have a chance to win. In this game of chess, the loophole that Lan Fang was found by the master brain was the opinion of the people of the main city on the consul. Therefore, Archon A will be like a flamboyant moving archery target, boldly organizing various activities under the nose of the red side to quell public grievances.

Their camp colluded with the "Messenger of God" in the design of the chess game, but they had to make up for their own loopholes in the process of making moves. own true position.

Yize over there was even more annoyed after hearing about it: "...What should I do now?"

Abe suddenly asked, "Is Lick okay?"

"It's fine, I didn't hurt him."

"Well, help me tell him that there is a dark force covering the main city now, and his father is under the control of others. Government departments are eroded, public opinion is controlled, the main city is in danger, and now, only superheroes can save it Everyone. Ask him if he'd like to be that superhero?"

Yize only felt that she could never keep up with Abe's brain circuits. At this critical moment, she actually asked him to tell a story to a child. He felt incredible: "...Are you going to let him save people?"

"Of course not." Abe's expression was innocent, "I'm going to make him obediently hand over the 'ransom'."

Lan Fang holds the power of the consul and controls the mainstream media in the chess game world. And the only thing that can corrupt power is money.

"Then... what should Fanny do?"

"Wake her up, now is the time when she really needs to perform."

Their main chess player actually arranged "plays" for Fanny, which shows that she had an idea long ago, and Yize's heart finally stabilized, and asked with a smile, "What about me?"

"You are still you." She slowly said the key words given to him, "Mr. kidnapper from the Weapons Research Institute."

"?"

The two discussed the details for a while, and when everything was decided, and when they were about to hang up the communication, Yize suddenly asked, "Is there still time?" According to her, the blue chess piece was already ready to move at the last moment, waiting to be cut off. their heads.

Ai Bei returned the newspaper to the people in the cafe, thanked him, and said softly to Ize, "Have you forgotten, the initiative will always be in the hands of the red side."

If the blue party also had a progress bar, they would see their progress bar fast-forward at 10% and 20%. After the news of the charity auction came out, it skyrocketed for a long time, hovering at 95%. The gradually rising popular support rate is about to return to before the "terrorist attack" occurred. Once the people's confidence in the consul is fully restored, the loopholes of the blue side will also be filled and perfected.

But just when the progress bar rushed forward to 97%, an accident happened!

There was an explosion in the villa of Aldrich Harris, the richest man in the main city. Police rushed to the scene and found that robbers broke into Aldrich's home and kidnapped him and his son. The dispatched reporter from the news agency then arrived and recorded the confrontation between the police and the robbers into the footage.

At the same time, on the square outside the city hall, employees working in the city hall gave speeches in public, exposing all kinds of shady inside the city hall.

These two news were broadcast for the first time. A picture of the explosion suddenly appeared on the TV in the window of the commercial street, attracting countless people to stop and watch. The taxi driver stretched out his hand to switch the radio channel, and a woman's impassioned speech appeared in the subtle electric sound. The passenger was so absorbed that he forgot to pay and get off the taxi.

"...It is said to invest in research and development, but in fact, we use the weapons we have developed to trade with terrorist organizations, and earn such money without conscience. I will let him also taste the fear of ordinary people..."

"Here is the reporter from the front. There was a kidnapping case in the suburbs of the city. The one who was kidnapped was the richest man in the city. The kidnappers are suspected to be staff of the Weapons Research Institute..."

"The kidnapper" wore glasses and looked gentle and polite. Except for the dagger against Aldridge's neck trembling slightly, just by looking at his clothes and talking, everyone would not doubt his identity and then believe what he said.

"...I myself work at City Hall, and this is a work certificate to prove that what I say below is true and credible."

"I want to expose the consuls of the main city in collusion with terrorist organizations, spread deadly viruses, and create panic among the people. In order to gain the support of interest groups and consolidate their positions, they will do anything! I am ashamed of working with them, these social worms!"

The speeches of the female staff were impassioned, inciting panic and anger among a large number of people.

"...I know that the government and businessmen collude, and the government will cover up the actions of the rich, so even in this way, I will let the people know the truth, and we have the right to know the truth!"

"...There is evidence of their collusion here, and I'm not afraid to be checked. Today I'm going to tell you the truth. Just when you were worried about the virus attacking you, the terrorists were eating in the main city under the protection of the consul. Drink it up and down...and I, know where they're hiding!"

"...I demand that all this be broadcast, that the people have the right to know, and that the consul step down!"

"...Those so-called "Messengers of God" disguised themselves as actors and hid in the amusement park in the main city!"

The people were in an uproar.

The amusement park at night is as bright as day, with colorful lights hanging on the nearby green trees, and the castle in the distance is shrouded in moonlight, lit up by stars, exuding a hazy and dreamy light, and the commercial street of small animals is playing. Cheerful music, lively wood squirrels pushing the clock and clicking forward, everything is beautiful and unreal.

When the outside alarm sounded, the actors in the amusement park stopped and looked at each other, as if to say, "What happened?" "We didn't do anything."

The "Song of the Consul" was sung again on the center stage. The high-spirited song was punctured by a sharp alarm. The children under the stage panicked. You pushed me, and the cry joined the chorus.

The host smiled and reassured: "Don't worry, don't worry, the amusement park is always safe—"

The next moment, his neck was broken, his smiling face turned sideways strangely, and he fell to the ground lightly.

"Not now." A pair of slender and dexterous hands were taken away from his neck, and the owner of the hands made a brisk voice, responding to his words.

The children stared at the bottom.

Alice, who suddenly appeared on the stage in a blue and white dress, seemed to be dancing, raising her feet to reveal the black and white striped stockings, kicking the actors on the stage. The cute little bows on the white pumpkin trousers could be vaguely seen in the hem of the skirt. She pulled down the hem of the skirt and covered her mouth in panic and shyness to the child.

The melody in the background was still there, but no one was singing on the stage. She couldn't help humming the song of the consul:

Hismouthcrackles, forhadheendedourpain.

His mouth is split (laughs) because he ended our misery.

Enigmaticeyesbetraysaglimpseofbeastlydesire.

Enigmatic eyes revealing beast-like **.

She didn't finish covering her mouth. The next moment, she tapped her toes on the ground, jumped onto the shoulders of the attacker from behind, turned her legs hard, and threw him out, smashing him heavily on the board of the stage!

The kid opened his mouth.

The young girl's lively singing danced with the raised sawdust and ashes:

"Heisgood; Heisourbelovedsul;

He's fine; he's our beloved consul

HedefeatedtheAgentofEvil.

He defeated the evil messenger. "

"This is killing the evil messenger." She winked at the people in the audience.

The children applauded desperately, "Alice is great!"

The actor finally showed his fangs, took out a suicide weapon and prepared to explode. Once it exploded, the spread of flesh and blood would spread the epidemic throughout the stage. However, in the blink of an eye, the **** the other side of the stage came towards him like a ghost, smiled at him, and the actor backed away in shock!

The barrel of his suicide gun was like magic, and she inserted roses into it.

When he was pulling the flower, she was flicked into the temple with a flower thorn, and he stumbled to the ground. The whole process was like an absurd comedy.

She went on to sing:

"Heissmart; Heisreatsul;

He is wise; he is our great consul;

Heextinguishedtheterribleupheaval.

He ended that terrible upheaval. "

Except for her, the stage was finally empty. She lifted her skirt to call the curtain and made a commanding gesture of raising her hand.

The children cheered and sang:

"All-hailthesul!

Long live the consul!

All-hailthegreatul!

Long live the great consul! "

Although they didn't know why the cold Archon suddenly turned into a girl Alice.

But Alice is fine too, isn't she?

"thanks."

Ai Bei smiled sweetly, and went to the backstage to put down the curtain in person.

The actors on the stage have been cleaned up, but there are many other places in the amusement park. Her task has not yet been completed, and she has to rush to the next location.

She dusted off the dust on her white apron and felt that the amusement park was really the most interesting place in the main city.

What exactly is the song of the consul of the amusement park singing?

What kind of place is an amusement park, and why are all underage children?

Amusement park host, why do you say "amusement parks are always safe", and what does this mean?

It is the base camp of "Messenger of God".

Amusement parks are always safe, it's the secret signal of the host and his companions.

Without adult children, they are not eligible to vote.

They cannot take the weapon of public opinion, and they will not threaten and harm the Archons.

Of course, the songs of the amusement park are not the people's praise of the great consul.

That's the consul who the panic-makers are singing about. He defeated the evil emissaries - the disobedient denounced civilians, he ended the horrific upheaval - and helped them "cleanse" the city.

Long live the consul, long live the great consul!

Ai Bei was walking on the commercial street of small animals, and the bright lights came into her eyes, revealing the enemy hiding in the shadow of the street corner. Her long braids jumped and she hummed an adapted song: "Long live the lovely Alice, long live the hardworking Alice!"

The dawn broke, turning the dark haze of the night, and the chirping birds on the branches called for the morning. A newspaper was dropped by the postman into a letterbox standing outside the courtyard.

Rick is sent out by Izai to get the newspaper. When the policemen who were standing guard outside saw him appear alone, they were shocked and kept winking at him.

The little boy looked up at them, put the newspaper in his arms, and returned to the house coolly.

"Where's Alice? Did she make it?" he asked Eze.

"I don't know yet."

"Then you are still in the mood to read the newspaper?!"

"She told me to read it." Yize shook off the newspaper and stopped the little boy immediately, "Shh, don't talk, I'm going to contact her."

The news in this morning's paper is particularly sensational:

"There are reports from city hall staff that the consuls colluded with the "Messengers of God" to sell them weapons and turn the people into lambs to be slaughtered."

"Aldrich Harris and his son kidnapped."

"Black market weapons have been around for a long time, and prices have skyrocketed, or they may be related to the conspirators' surreptitious manipulation."

"The people marched in anger and held up banners in the city hall to protest, demanding the immediate resignation of the consul."

The phone was connected with a beep.

"Yi?"

"It's me." I faced people all night, and was chased and asked questions by an overly excited little superhero. Izai's voice was exhausted, "Is this really enough?"

"more or less."

"..."

Ai Bei on the other end of the phone felt his unease, thought about it, and began to tell him all the information one by one, and also told the audience in the live broadcast room. Beginning with Mr. Rabbit's mini-game, as the story progresses, Yize was a little stunned for a while.

"Wait... is Aldridge really the consul?"

He suddenly remembered that from the very beginning, Abe did not endorse the speculation that "Aldrich is the Archon", she just followed Fanny's speculation and conclusion to guide the audience to Aldrich.

But if he wasn't, why would she lead in this direction?

He looked at the richest man who was still in a coma. He didn't add any new injuries, the wounds had healed long ago, and there was no sign of weakness.

"The Archon is just a proxy, he is not a player of any blue side."

Yize murmured: "Any name? A consul is not a fixed person, but an epithet, which means that anyone who takes this position may degenerate, always control everything behind his back, the mysterious behind-the-scenes mastermind... The original reminder video That's what the dark shadow of 's means!"

"But, if the richest man is not a consul, it means that he is just—" The three English words of NPC were swallowed at the moment when Yize and Like's eyes met, and he lowered his voice, "That Lan Fang's No. Who are the three?"

"Then ask Otto."

When the situation developed to this level, Lan Fang's third person didn't even find out, and Yize suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is everything you analyzed true? Could it be... not an attack by public opinion?"

Ai Bei looked at the clock tower of the castle, "Don't worry, let's wait."

Eze was fidgeting.

On his main control panel, the round progress bar set by himself moved forward slowly, and it should walk with the second hand of the clock tower, ticking.

The moment it hit the grid, it should have jumped to the break time and re-entered the discussion round. Yize is ready to negotiate again, even if he suspects that the audience has watched too many Abe's vowed decisions, if she guesses wrong, the audience may become weak and no longer support her.

However, at the moment of the conversion, the big characters "Victory" suddenly appeared in front of their eyes. The color of red and gold enthusiastically demonstrated their victory!

There seemed to be a black figure in the city hall. At the moment when the people's voice reached its peak, he took off his top hat and lost his power to control everything.

Yi Ze was stunned for a moment, and immediately showed a surprised expression.

At the last moment, Abe asked Ize to turn on the speakerphone: "Lick, we succeeded."

"Wow, that's great!" Rick jumped up and down, "your boyfriend is really stupid and doesn't know anything, Alice, can you tell me what those evil messengers look like, I'm curious—"

The pendulum stopped.

Lick's cheers and questioning were frozen in time.

The world will still continue to run under the control of the master mind, and the next time it will come, maybe it will be a different time and a different game.

Although the game was over, they were not disconnected from the network immediately, but came to a place similar to a pure white space. The difference is that the place here is larger, like a fusion of two spaces, and a long table is placed in front, and the judges of the competition are sitting behind the table.

Aibe's three people still have a red halo under their feet, while the other three who appear at the same time have a blue halo under their feet.

Ott returned to his original appearance, tall and straight, with flaming red hair striking and arrogant. His eyes went back and forth among the three of them, and finally landed on Ai Bei, looking at her petite figure like a little gray cat, his eyes suddenly flashed with surprise.

Aibe didn't give him any out of the corner of her sight, she was away from the live broadcast, and her expression was more dull.

She stroked her curly grey hair and yawned.

...It's like a dirty kitten by the trash can, the kind that will be trampled to death if you're not careful.

Ott thought to himself, his strong and piercing eyes never let go of her, like a shark waiting for an opportunity to kill a drowning kitten.

In the eyes of others, it was that he refused to admit defeat and wanted to do something to her. Eze stood in front of Aibe vigilantly.

Ott glanced down at him, sneered disdainfully, and still looked at Abe: "Hey, when did you guess it?"

"I forgot." Seeing him staring at him persistently, Ai Bei said lazily, "It's probably very early."

Ott asked again: "How did you see that Aldridge was a blind eye?"

She tilted her head slightly, "Aldridge is not a real consul, but he is not a trick designed by you. He is a hint given to us by the master mind. In fact, although he is not a real consul, if we assume that He is, and then follow this line to find a way to "kill" him, and it will also be successful. The mastermind will give such a clear character, pointing everywhere that he is the consul, I think, the third player of the blue side ...is not in that world since the beginning."

Her gaze fell on Lan Fang's last contestant. His expression was full of resentment, but he stood far away from Ott.

There is no life and death chess in this game. The setting of the so-called life-and-death chess was originally in the hands of the blue side, and they voluntarily gave up this advantage within the scope allowed by the rules.

Abe's words sparked Lux ​​(Archon A)'s memories.

He still remembers that as soon as he entered the space, Ott was voted as the main chess player with an overwhelming advantage, but he kept his eyes closed and completely ignored the two anxious teammates beside him. He had seen Ott's broadcast material, knew his abilities, and dared not speak up. But the other teammate was miserable, and the other party yelled in a hurry. Ott didn't have a seizure at the time, but after entering the chessboard world after the layout, the teammate suddenly found himself "nailed" in place, unable to move his hands and feet, and could only watch Ott approaching step by step in horror.

"What's the noise?"

Otto didn't touch him, and just sat down to eat at the dining table. Without raising his eyes, he manipulated his noisy teammates to stab the breakfast fork into his throat, blood dripping from the breakfast plate, but he said, "Just so, there is an extra piece on my chessboard. "

He was instantly silent.

Aibe's voice sounded again, taking him out of his memory, "You killed him, you want us to fall into the unknown panic of looking for the third person. Hmm... After the whole chess game, the best you can go is the first. step."

In other words, the latter is not the same.

Lux didn't have to turn his head, and he could almost imagine Ott's **** off laughter.

"So, you solved the mystery long ago?" The flame in his eyes was like his red hair, hot and insolent, "Then why did you wait until the last round to solve it?" He pointed out that she was lying.

"I know the answer to the question, but I can't just write the answer. It's boring to be dry like that."

Including her following Fanny's ideas to lead the audience to wealthy businessmen, this is the answering process that must be written in "Answering Questions", otherwise there will be no ups and downs of the plot for them.

She meant something, "I'm not the same as you."

She knew that Ott was playing tricks on those arrogant audiences. Maybe after he found out that the mastermind set up the role of a wealthy businessman, he decided to follow the mastermind's train of thought and deliberately release some specious false information, so that the audience thought that they had a chance to win, but in the end they were rejected. A slap in the face.

Of course her purpose is not to play tricks on the audience, she just wants to win the game.

"Is she a monster?" Lux (Archon A) asked Eze.

Eze: "..." He wanted to say yes, but he couldn't say it. He could only say euphemistically, "Our main chess player is indeed better than yours."

Lux: "..." The person on the other side dared to say this, but he didn't dare to answer. Didn't you see "Murderer" Ott was about to be mad at this little girl?

Just at this moment, a voice came from the jury, interrupting the confrontation between the two sides:

"Now, announce the scoring results."
