6. Queen's Chess(2/3)
This time, the chess piece did not fall.
"Phew, alive..." Nance breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked the queen: "What should I do to prevent death?"
"Become the devil's lackey."
"Hold……"
"Um?"
"Woof!"
"If you say bad words again, I'll cut out your tongue."
Ximena retracted her fingertips, looked back at the chessboard, and played with the only remaining chess piece in her hand.
The breathless pressure dissipated, and Nance's tense body slowly relaxed. He touched the forehead that she had pressed with her fingertips just now, feeling the lingering fear in his heart.
If it had been a second later, his head might have exploded into countless pieces like the scene he just saw.
The warm sunshine shone down, and Nance, immersed in the pleasure of surviving the disaster, began to reflect on his impulsive behavior.
He is still a bit young and energetic. When he heard such an excessive request, he subconsciously became violent... This kind of temper needs to be tempered. A man must know when to be soft and when to be hard, otherwise he will be afraid in front of the queen.
I can't survive more than three chapters.
"My Queen."
"What?"
"Can you tell me the principles of the chess game?" Nance asked sincerely.
"My talent is that I can use the chess game to deduce the fate of something or someone." She held the chess piece in the air for about ten seconds, and then put it down one square ahead.
Snap.
The chess pieces fell down.
The projection dissipates.
"Using something that is bound to happen as a starting point, we can deduce three directions. On this basis, we can deduce three changes in each direction, for a total of nine possibilities." After saying this, Ximena's face showed a smile.
With a satisfied expression, he leaned back on the chair.
The butterfly flew lightly and landed on her round shoulders.
It was a small blue butterfly with several red markings on its wings. The butterfly seemed to be unaware of fear and stayed on the devil's shoulder, perhaps mistakenly mistaking her for a flower.
"Was that the second step?" Nance asked.
"Yes, you will also die in the second step, within a year." Ximena glanced at the butterfly on her shoulder and said, with a slight arrogance in her voice.
Nance frowned in thought.
After taking refuge with the devil, he can survive the turmoil safely, but he will still die within a year.
After thinking for a moment, he asked: "Since we are deducing from what will inevitably happen, how about directly deducing the future in which I survive today? As long as I take refuge in you, I will definitely survive, right? Then use this as the first
Is the step okay?"
Ximena looked at him quietly: "You are quite clever."
"Ask the queen to play chess." Nance looked at the chessboard.
As soon as he finished speaking, three more chess pieces appeared on the chessboard.
Ximena pushed the first chess piece forward, and it fell down instantly just like before. She didn't even look at Nance's face, and her expression remained cold and arrogant: "You don't know the secret of Lesson 9 at all, and it's still okay after a year."
He lived a comfortable life and finally died without any resistance."
"What's the secret of Lesson 9?" Nance asked immediately.
"Can a secret still be called a secret if it is revealed?" Ximena replied in a slow tone.
Nance really wanted to hang her up and whip her!
"The second step, you know the secret of Lesson 9." Under his gaze, Ximena pushed out the second chess piece.
The chess piece falls and the projection disappears.
Nance clenched his fists: "How did I die this time?"
"You know the secret of Lesson 9 and have made many preparations for it." Ximena took the third chess piece and gently turned it in her hand, "But on the day it happened, you were betrayed, and everything
All the preparations have turned into a joke.”
How hated I am... Nance looked at the last chess piece longingly.
His palms were sweating.
The butterfly continued to sleep peacefully, and Ximena took the third chess piece and placed it on the previous square.
This time the chess failed.
Before Nance could breathe a sigh of relief, Ximena said: "This does not mean you are safe."
As she finished speaking, the remaining chess pieces on the chessboard were divided into three.
The second step is about to begin.
"You know the secret of Lesson 9, and you also noticed that there was a mole before the incident." Ximena said, pushing the first chess piece forward. When the chess piece fell, her voice remained the same, but she was colder than before.
He said: "You prepared to abscond, but were secretly executed by the top brass."
"..."
The front leg was killed by the insider, and the back leg was killed by the senior management. Nance felt that this section chief was really aggrieved.
The second chess piece also fell.
Ximena's eyes showed no emotion: "You worked hard to get rid of the evil spirit, but you had a conflict with the monastery and were eventually killed by the angel."
"..."
All right.
The angels have come out.
Nance thought to himself that he was worthy of being a time traveler, and wherever he went he had the debuff of "getting killed".
Looking at the last chess piece, his heart calmed down.
Either way it's death.
Get used to it.
Ximena pushed with her hand, and the last chess piece fell onto the chessboard.
"Pap~"
Amidst the dull sound, the butterfly resting on the Demon Queen's shoulder woke up, spread its wings and flew into the air.
"This time, you know everything and are fully prepared." Ximena said calmly and said the ending in a normal tone, "However, what you have to face is an enemy that is too powerful to be defeated. You fight hard
He tried his best and eventually died in the line of duty."
Good guy.
They are all really dead.
"Can't you really say it's a secret?" Nance asked reluctantly.
Ximena raised her hand, planning to slap him back.
"Wait a minute!" Nance quickly stopped her, then took a deep breath of fresh air and asked, "Where is this? Is it the real world?"
Ximena's expression was still cold: "Buenos Aires, my private garden."
Nance was stunned.
The conservative distance from Buenos Aires to Shin-Yokohama is 18,000 kilometers.
He just walked a few steps...
The queen is so strong!
This is the real world, time flows as usual, there is bright sunshine and the fragrance of flowers, plants and trees.
Nance breathed in the air that was countless times fresher than New Yokohama into his lungs. After a dozen breaths, he looked at the Queen: "I have one last question!"
"ask."
"Is there ever a time when your trick doesn't work?"
Ximena's pupils shrank subtly, she stared at him for a few seconds, then turned and walked out of the garden.
"After we go back, there will be a riot in Section 9. This is my reward for you. If you are still alive after one year, I will allow you to serve me."
"Aren't you going to leave your contact information?"
"You can get out!"
"As commanded."
Ximena raised her hand.
To be continued...
