Chapter 101 The increasingly strange story of the Iron-faced Man

Chapter 101: The increasingly strange story of the Iron-faced Duke

"Light up.

Su Chen said softly.

As his voice fell.

The relief of the star began to gradually light up, and the light pattern spread. After a while, the words naturally flooded into his mind.

[There was once a man who was good at chess. He fought and killed on the board, and he made great moves every time, but people didn't know how he got it...]

It was about a man who was very good at chess. Every move on the chessboard was amazing, and people didn't know how he came up with it.

He was gifted since he was a child. When he was eighteen years old, he had challenged and defeated all the masters at that time, making them demote themselves.

This man also played chess with the Iron-faced Duke. When he was halfway through the game, he held the pieces and discussed the principles of attack and defense, using chess to illustrate the world's human affairs.

When it came to the wonderful parts, the Iron-faced Duke often looked up to the sky and exclaimed:

"Great theory! Great theory! "

There was only one person that the chess master could not beat, and that was the emperor at that time. In fact, it was not that he could not beat the chess master, but mainly to highlight the human relationship and play with the emperor.

Later, I don't know why, one evening, he suddenly drank and laughed, carrying chess pieces, and leisurely entered the palace.

That night, the chess master faced the emperor without reservation and played a game of chess that was unprecedented and unparalleled. He dominated the four sides of the chessboard, leaving no water, while the emperor's chess pieces were trapped in the old nest, and his luck was about to end.

Only in the southeast corner, there was still a trace of energy, which could linger.

According to unofficial historical records, the emperor looked at the chess game in deep thought, dazzled for a long time, and then suddenly ordered the man to be imprisoned, sentenced to death without pardon, and beheaded the next day.

The Iron-faced Man knew that he had no chance. He tried his best to save the man, so he volunteered to be responsible for the execution.

It turns out that the punishment of beheading has its own tricks. If there is no money to bribe the executioner, the executioner will cut the lower middle part of the person, and the death process will be extremely slow. The person being punished will be in great pain and will have to endure for three hours before being relieved.

If he is informed in advance and cuts the upper middle part, he will die immediately without much pain.

The chess master's family is poor and he has no money to bribe people. Tiemian Gong took this punishment so that he could be relieved in time without pain.

That night, the separation of life and death between good friends was sad. Tiemian Gong prepared wine privately and drank with the chess master. After the toast, the chess master whispered:

"My way, you can learn from it. "

Then, he passed on the chess skills he had learned throughout his life orally.

The Iron-faced Man was also a strange man. As mentioned before, he had a photographic memory and could remember everything he heard once.

The next day, on the execution ground, the chess master died calmly.

After that, the Iron-faced Man would often set up a chess game at home alone, playing with his left and right hands, reproducing the skills of the chess master, and pondering the mysteries every day.

Occasionally, he would make some gains, often looking up to the sky and sighing, as if crying and laughing:

"Great theory! Great theory! ”

······

A long paragraph of text entered Su Chen’s mind.

Faced with this story, he could not help but remain silent for a long time.

He sighed inexplicably in his heart.

This can be said to be the most abnormal story he has gotten so far, even more abnormal than the previous story of [The Art of Beam].

The protagonist of this story is not only not a thief, but also seems to be a talented person.

The old emperor can’t afford to lose. As the saying goes, what’s the crime of playing chess?

Or is it that the game of chess that night itself has a big problem?

These questions cannot be answered because the information Su Chen knows is still insufficient. I am afraid that he can only continue to unravel the secret of the star map.

At the same time, Su Chen also noticed that the Iron-faced Man was getting more and more involved in the story.

From the few records at the beginning, in [Ghost Hand], it was only written that he was "caught by the Iron-faced Man".

In the previous [The Art of Beam], the Iron-faced Man traded with the thieves, and this time, the Iron-faced Man appeared directly as a friend.

He has a kind of I have a feeling that I am getting closer and closer to the core of a secret that happened thousands of years ago.

And the person at the center of the vortex is probably this Iron-faced Man.

While thinking.

The skills were also poured into me. Su Chen felt a huge amount of chess knowledge pouring into his mind, so heavy that it made his temple swell slightly.

He has grown a brain again.

"Look at this star map, there are still many stars. I don't know if my little brain can hold so much knowledge..."

Su Chen rubbed his swollen temples and complained secretly.

It feels like the memory has been used up.

At this time, he has clearly felt that his chess skills have been improved to a cross-species level.

The understanding of chess skills has evolved directly from prokaryotes to superhumans.

Even if AlphaGo comes, there is no pressure at all.

Su Chen sensed the lighting conditions of the next star again.

"To use this ability once within a limited time and beat a professional chess player, well, it's not difficult. ”

The place he was about to go was the Dragon Country Chess Academy, and the thing that was most in demand there was probably professional chess players.

“Let me see... Light up another star, and I can unlock the next moon and sun relief.”

“However, the reputation condition for this next star may take a while to achieve, after all, the population of the area being broadcast has almost reached the upper limit.”

And the reputation required for the second sun relief is a full 30,000 eyes, which means 300 million people watching online.

To achieve this goal, the live broadcast of the pursuit of the murderer may have to go beyond Asia.

Fully promote to the American continent.

Not to mention, there are also additional tasks such as entering the top ten of the Asian detective list...

After taking a few deep breaths and sorting out his thoughts, Su Chen pushed out of the room in his mind and slowly opened his eyes.

The scenery in front of him was clear again.

Outside the car window, sycamore trees stood on both sides of the bank, near the chess academy, and the midday sun shone on the square in front of the chess academy. There, many tourists brought their wives and children to play and laugh.

Platinum City is a small city. There is no rush of big cities, and people's lives are still leisurely and comfortable.

It's really peaceful...Su Chen thought to himself.

Who would have thought that such a place was a murderous city that people were afraid to avoid more than 30 years ago?

All this is thanks to the serial killer.

According to the file records, because the killer's targets were women with red skirts and long hair, red clothes were once in stock in Platinum City at that time.

Short hair became the basic hairstyle for women, and no one dared to go out at night.

It was not until thirty years later that this panic gradually subsided.

Thinking of this, Su Chen said to Boss Zhang who was sitting in the driver's seat:

"Boss, after getting off the car, please take me to the chess academy."

"By the way, please help me find a professional chess player. I want to play a game with him."

"Okay, okay..."

Boss Zhang's face froze. He knew how serious it was to bring a serial killer with a gun into a public place.

He had to be an accomplice...

While driving, he had thought about secretly calling the police, but Su Chen's gun was against his lower back, and he advised him not to do stupid things.

He was a person who listened to advice after all.

Later, after Su Chen put on sunglasses, he dared not make any small movements, because he could not see Su Chen's sight at all.

No one can gamble with his life, right?

Thinking of this, Boss Zhang of the circus nodded hurriedly, fearing that he would be negligent.

"Well, Miss Chen is worthy of being the etiquette lady of the competition. She can have such leisure and elegance... It just so happens that I have an acquaintance in the chess academy, and a game of chess is not easy?"

"I wonder if Miss Chen likes to play white or black?"

Hearing this, Su Chen was stunned:

"I don't want to play Go, but chess. How can I play Go in a chess academy?"

Originally, this sounded very normal.

However, when Boss Zhang heard this, he was indeed embarrassed:

"Oh, this, Miss Chen, our chess academy currently only has a youth chess group, and there are no professional players."

"But there are many Go players..."

Su Chen: ? ? ?

"Isn't this a chess academy?"

"Oh..."

Boss Zhang looked at Su Chen's face cautiously:

"This was originally a Go academy, but the higher-ups said two years ago that they wanted to pay attention to chess and promote it, so they named it a chess academy."

"In fact, there is only a small chess department inside, with few people, let alone professional players. All of them are from the Go academy."

Su Chen: ? ? ? !
