Chapter 117 The Shadow That Dare Not Play Against the Mirror

Luo Xi had already started playing chess with the old man at this time.

1 [Memory], next round.

If you lose, the ticket fee for the memory card will not be refunded; if you win, not only will the previous [Memory] card be refunded, but you will also be given 2 extra cards.

Besides, you won’t die if you lose.

It can be said that the level scenes of the Tuntun Chess Club have almost zero danger, and once you win, the return rate is also quite high.

However, the prerequisite for a return rate is to be able to beat the other party.

And as for this step, very few people can achieve it.

Anyway, Qian Lejin had inquired about it. In the past dozen or so cycles, there would be a few senior memory collectors every day, or people who occasionally found memory collectors here would come and try, but without exception, no one could beat this old man even in one game.

If it were just this, I guess no one would come to challenge him again in the future, after all, the old man’s chess skills are too high.

If you can't win, then what's the difference between that and just throwing away the [Memory] card?
But the old man will reveal a key piece of information during the game of chess.

That is, if you beat him, you can go to the second floor and challenge the next level. If you can successfully challenge the next level, you can get a numbered card.

Because of the huge temptation of the numbered cards, even though people know that the old man is very good at chess and the challengers have almost no winning record, there are still people who can't help but come and try.

However, in this first game, Luo Xi resigned after just a short while and admitted defeat.

"Come again!"

There was no fluctuation on Luo Xi's face. He had indeed lost. He had made a wrong move in a crucial chess move before. Even if he continued, the result would still be a loss.

He took out the second [Memory] and handed it over.

The old man's men started a new game.

"Look, what did I say? I can't win, I just can't win, it doesn't matter who I ask. You don't really think that this young man can be better than me?" The bald man with glasses got excited when he saw this posture and couldn't help but mock.

His point of view is that I am an authority and a professional, so if I can't handle something, others can't handle it either.

Moreover, if I can't handle something, then if you ask an outsider who is obviously not specialized in the right field to do it, he will definitely not be able to handle it either. I analyze it from a professional perspective, but you don't listen and instead blame me. So I'm going to argue with you guys just to let you know that in this industry, what I say is the iron rule.

Qian Lejin ignored the other party.

He was a little nervous at this time. Although he knew that Luo Xi was very strong, after all, no one is perfect. Maybe Luo Xi was really not good at playing chess.

If that's the case, then I was a bit self-righteous in handling this matter.

But then I thought about it.

its not right.

Who is Luo Xi?

That person has a brain capacity several times that of an ordinary person. In Qian Pangzi's eyes, he is a man who has reached the ceiling of intelligence.

It is impossible for this kind of person to continue throwing [Memory] cards in when he knows he can't win.

So, just watch.

Of course, he would not continue arguing with the bald man with glasses.

"I don't understand this chess game, but your idol just now seemed to have only moved a little bit and gave up without any confrontation? That's strange." Liang Qu poked Fatty Qian at this time.

"Brother Qiu, this is called deducing the steps. When an expert plays chess, he may admit defeat if he makes a mistake in a key move, because he knows that his opponent is also an expert and will not make mistakes. Instead of wasting time, it is better to start a new game early." Fatty Qian answered with the little knowledge he had.

In fact, he didn't see anything at all.

In the second game, after 50 moves, Luo Xi resigned.

"continue!"

Luo Xi still did not show any unnecessary expression, no frustration, no reflection, and he took out the third [Memory] without feeling any pain.

Now, Fatty Qian didn't dare to say anything, and Liang Qu was completely confused.

It’s just strange that the bald man with glasses didn’t continue to mock.

He stared at the chessboard, looking at the black and white pieces on it, thoughtfully.

In the third game, after a hundred moves, Luo Xi continued to admit defeat.

So, the fourth game began.

The bald man with glasses looked more and more strange. He stared at the chessboard intently. His expression changed from disdain to solemnity and then to fear.
"How is this possible? These three games look like they were played by three people of different levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. If it was intentional, what was he trying to achieve? But if it wasn't intentional, then doesn't it mean that this person has improved his chess skills in just three games? Moreover, he seems to have seen through the old man's chess moves."

The bald man now had more sweat on his forehead than when he was playing chess in person just now.

He couldn't help but wipe it with a towel.

In these four games, an outsider cannot tell the level of the players. They only know that more and more chess pieces are falling on the board, more than in the previous three games.

It seems to be in a stalemate.

Because the old guy over there usually doesn't think, he just makes a move as soon as the other party makes a move, which means there is only a delay of one or two seconds.

But in the fourth game, from the moment Luo Xi made his move, the old man actually started thinking.

This caused his chess playing speed to be significantly slower than in the previous few games, and the entire pace slowed down.

This shows that he was thinking, and sometimes he would fall into deadlock and confusion, and even become a little indecisive later on.

But the strange thing is that Luo Xi's moves were getting faster and faster.

It was as if they had switched roles and positions. Luo Xi made his moves faster than the last time, while the old man would ponder before making a move. After making a move, he would not take his fingers away immediately, but would hesitate for a second or two before raising his hand. However, it was obvious that he was still quickly observing the entire chess move.

The fat man doesn't know how to play chess, but he feels that he has a chance of winning this game.

Among the people watching the game, Fatty Qian was not the only one who didn't understand chess. Even Liang Qu, who usually had a loud voice, felt the invisible pressure and tension at this moment. As a result, he didn't dare to say anything. He could only stare at the chessboard, which looked like a sky full of stars to him.

The bald man kept wiping his sweat. He looked at the chessboard, as if it was a stock market chart that was rising steadily and all the way up. It seemed that if he missed a second, he would lose hundreds of thousands.

The tense atmosphere infected everyone present.

Everyone breathed carefully, for fear of disturbing the two people playing chess.

Finally, after Luo Xi placed a piece, the old man on the other side held the chess piece with his fingers, but it did not drop. He looked left and right, and was silent for a long time. Finally, he smiled, put the chess piece he was holding with his fingers back into the chess basket.

"I lost!"

The old man spoke.

These three words were like a thunderclap, which directly shocked the spectators and made them speechless.

However, each of them seemed to have a raging storm in their chest, with too many problems and questions.

Although the old man lost the game, he appeared very happy. He glanced at Luo Xi, and his cloudy eyes seemed to have regained focus. The original sense of decadence, which was a bit crazy, seemed to have disappeared at this moment.

The whole person looks brand new.

He took out three [Memories] and handed them to Luo Xi.

As for Luo Xi, although he won this time, he still lost overall. In four games, he used four [Memories], but in the end, he only got three in return.

But that clearly doesn't matter.

The important thing is that he can go to the second floor and challenge the second level. "Congratulations, now you can go to the second floor to challenge the next level. If you win, you can get a fixed numbered card. I wish you success." The old man was very pleased, but he looked at Luo Xi, and slowly, his expression became a little strange.

It felt like he suddenly remembered something, but couldn't remember it completely.

Just like walking down the street, suddenly you meet someone who looks familiar, and you say, hey, aren't you that so-and-so?
It looks familiar, but I just can't remember the name.

The old man now has this expression and state.

Luo Xi didn't say much. He stood up and walked to the second floor. Others wanted to follow him, but were stopped by the old man.

"Only those who pass the first level can go upstairs to challenge the second level. Others cannot go up unless they defeat me." The old man said in a firm tone.

He looked skinny, but even a tough guy like Liang Qu didn't dare to mess with him.

Many people have challenged the Tun Tun Chess Club and lost. Naturally, some people are not convinced and want to use other methods, such as force, to snatch the cards.

But the result was a miserable death.

It is said that this old man beat the other person into a pulp with just one hand.

When playing chess, he is an old man, but when fighting, he is a terrifying Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Over there, Fatty Qian stopped the bald man with glasses who was about to sneak out and run away.

"No way, brother, you are not the kind of person who takes his words as farts, does not keep his word, and is despicable and shameless, right? No way? You just wanted to go out for some fresh air, not to run away, am I right?"

Fatty Qian said to the other party with a smile.

These words sounded like a slap in the face, making the other person blush.

"Brother, let me help you do the math. Before, I asked you for your commission, which was two [Memories], plus the two extra compensations you said, a total of four [Memories]. Here you go."

Fatty Qian stretched out his hand, as if to say, "If you don't give it to me, I have ten thousand ways to kill you."

Liang Qu also brought people to block the door.

He is also a stubborn person. Since the other party said it himself, he must fulfill his promise and cannot go back on his word.

When the bald man saw that he couldn't run away, he had no choice but to admit defeat.

He knew very well how horrible and frightening it was for the people who had restored their memories to fight and torture each other. He knew that death was only the starting point for a new beginning, but if before death, they were stripped naked and all their cards were taken away, that would be real "death" for the people who had restored their memories.

So, we can only compromise.

After handing over four memories, the bald man was no longer in a hurry to leave.

"I admit that the young man is quite capable. He is good at playing chess and has both talent and patience, but he may not be able to pass the second level."

This idea is normal.

Since the first level is so difficult, the second level must be even more difficult, after all, it involves rewards for numbered cards.

Level scenes like this are not only difficult, but also extremely dangerous.

If you are not careful, you will die!

He guessed correctly.

On the second floor, Luo Xi looked at the strange room and didn't know what to say for a moment.

There is no one here.

The room is not big, but on the wall in front of the room is a huge mirror.

It can include the whole person.

In the middle of the room, there is a chessboard.

There are also chess pieces.

But the chess pieces in both chess baskets are black.

"One-color chess?" Luo Xi had heard of it. This not only tests chess skills, but also memory, because one needs to remember the position of each move of himself and the opponent. If one remembers it wrong, it is basically impossible to win.

But the problem is, there is no one here.

So, who should we play this chess game with?
Luo Xi walked in and sat on one side of the chessboard. Opposite him was a huge wall mirror.

And at this moment, the lights in the room went out.

Only the small desk lamp on one side of the chessboard was still on.

But only the chessboard was brightly lit; the rest of the room was dim.

Faintly, you can see some human figures moving in front.

Luo Xi looked up. At this moment, the room was surprisingly quiet.

Slowly, the shadow approached and seemed to be sitting opposite.

But if you look closely, you will find that there is no one sitting opposite Luo Xi in the room, but in the mirror reflected by the desk lamp, there is a figure sitting opposite Luo Xi.

"Heh, it's been a while since anyone came to play chess with me!"

A strange voice sounded.

It was like someone was whispering in my ear.

"Well, let's start." Luo Xi didn't waste any words. It took him more than an hour to play four games of chess with the old man. It was almost four o'clock now.

It has somewhat disrupted his original plan.

So, we have to hurry up.

But in the next moment, the shadow in the mirror seemed to see Luo Xi. The other party was startled, and then made a move that Luo Xi had never expected.

The shadow ran away.

When it came, it approached slowly, full of mystery. When it left, it was a little flustered and ran very fast. I said it was flustered because it seemed to have knocked over a chair in the mirror, and as a result, a chair in the room also fell to the ground for no reason.

Luo Xi was a little confused.

He sat and waited for a while, but nothing happened.

It feels like opening a game and suddenly the screen goes black due to a bug.

So how do you usually deal with this kind of thing?

Just restart!
Luo Xi stood up, walked out, then knocked on the door, came back in and sat down.

Still no movement.

Apart from the desk lamp, there was no other light in the room, and because of the mirror, it seemed quite empty.

For this kind of thing, Luo Xi felt that he must ask the old man on the first floor.

If the scene is not done well, you have to refund the card!

At this moment, the bulb of the desk lamp flickered, as if it was flickering due to unstable voltage.

When I looked in the mirror again, there was a group of people.
