Qingfeng returned to the basketball department to train, and he bluntly said that it was the seniors who persuaded him to come back, which made everyone in the basketball department worship Bai Shen a little more, and the coach and supervisor also expressed their gratitude to Bai Shen.
The day before the finals, Akaji found Bai Shen alone, he sat on the chair of the shogi club, and looked at Bai Shen with a pair of red eyes, "Senior, do you mind playing chess with me?"
"Of course I don't mind."
Bai Shen closed the door of the shogi club and walked over to Akaji and sat down.
Bai Shen has challenged most sports clubs, but shogi is not a sports club, so he doesn't know the rules of shogi, but most board games are similar, and from the name of the chess pieces, it seems a bit like chess "I'm a beginner, so I'm going to trouble Akaji to explain the rules."
Bai Shen observed the chess pieces on the chessboard with great interest, there were dragon kings, flying cars, king generals, jade generals, horn lines, etc., which were really a bit similar to chess.
Akaji glanced up at Bai Shen in some surprise, as if he was distinguishing the truth of Bai Shen's words, "Aren't you afraid of losing to me?"
"It's just a competition."
Bai Shen shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "Why care about winning or losing" Akaji heard the sound of Bai Shen's words, but he didn't break it, but put the position of the chess pieces and explained it in detail, the rules are simple and simple, and the rules are complicated and complicated, each chess piece has a fixed way of moving, you can eat the pieces, and the king of one side who checkmates is considered a victory.
At first glance, it sounds like chess, but shogi has one of the biggest differences from chess, that is, the captured pieces can be used as combat power to return to the chessboard.
Bai Shen is an old monster who has lived for an unknown amount of time, his mental arithmetic ability and intelligence are naturally extremely terrifying, he is very cautious when he gets started, it is not good or bad, it can only be said to be conservative, he is not familiar with the way to play shogi, so he will naturally not attack with all his strength, and he wants to see how Akaji will make a move.
The purpose of Akaji looking for him to play chess, Bai Shen can guess how many points.
Although they both know each other's nature, Akaji doesn't know his true depth, and it's understandable that he wants to peek into his shortcomings and weaknesses from today's chess game.
It should be said that this method is more direct and once and for all than those naïve temptations.
But Akaji should also think of it, he can hide his strength and not let Akaji see his chess style, but Akaji did that, is this sure that he is also a person who does not admit defeat, so he just said why should he care about winning or losing.
But Akaji has an idea that is still right, although he doesn't care about winning or losing, he doesn't like to be merciful to his subordinates, not to mention that as a beginner, if you don't do your best, you may not be able to win Akaji, this kid is very good at board games at a glance.
To use shogi as an analogy, Akaji is also the so-called king shogun Bai Shen's speed is very fast, he plays a little carelessly, and he doesn't seem to be very serious, but the expression on Akaji's face is not relaxed, he can see that the senior is indeed a beginner, because at the beginning, the opponent's fall is very jerky, and the chess style is quite decent, there is nothing eye-catching, but he can't find any big mistakes.
But after getting familiar with the rhythm, the senior's progress is very amazing, which is also expected by Akaji, how can an opponent who can be on par with him not have this strength Chess has been played so far, the situation has been obvious, Akaji knows that he has the absolute upper hand, but Akaji looked up at Bai Shen, who is still not slow, he can't tell whether this is the real strength of the senior or the other party is releasing water After all, the other party has words first, this game of chess is just a competition, and he doesn't care about winning or losing.
Akaji used his trump card to check the white and heavy general, and he didn't have much joy on his face, but just said as a matter of course: "I won." ” "yes."
Bai Shen played with the chess pieces in his hand and smiled lightly: "It's really amazing, it's really not so easy for beginners to win against people like you." ” "I've won the prize, and the seniors are also very good, just a beginner can push me to this point."
Akaji held the king general in his hand, and his red pupils flashed with an obscure light, "I admire the senior very much, but just like shogi, there will always be only one king." ” It's not an aggressive tone, it's just a fact, but when Akaji's eyes look at Bai Shen, the air around him seems to have stagnated, and even his breath is mixed with a cold chill.
Bai Shen seemed to be unconscious, and smiled lightly: "Indeed, the winner is king, and the loser is the villain, I very much agree with this point of view."
Speaking of this, his tone changed abruptly, "But what is victory, what is defeat, such as today, did you really win against me in this game of chess?"
The senior laughed.
Akaji's face remained unchanged, and his tone was calm and almost ruthless, "I will die Your king will be a fact, whether the senior deliberately released water or something else, the fact is the fact, and nothing will change because of the reason."
Since seniors don't care about winning or losing, why do they say so much?"
Bai Shen smiled and said nothing, he just found a comfortable position, leaned his body on the back of the chair, and said in a good time: "Akaji, you must not have lost once, let me guess, whether you don't want to lose, don't dare to lose, or can't lose, or all three."
Akaji's expression changed slightly, and Bai Shen seemed to have grasped Akaji's secret, and continued: "It seems that there are all three. ” Bai Shen raised his eyebrows slightly, the smile on his face was very faint, but it gave people a feeling of being superior, "It's really cute" Akaji frowned, from the first confrontation with the senior, he didn't look at the senior person, "Does the senior really want to lose, the pursuit of victory is just human instinct, no one wants to be a loser, that's all." ” "Indeed."
Bai Shen didn't refute, he just looked at Akaji like that, and under the other party's cold expression, he pulled out a very shallow smile, which seemed to be gentle and affectionate, but those dark eyes were bottomless, just like a black hole, as if he wanted to suck people in, "That's why I said that you are really pitiful" "What is the point of a victory when you seek it but you don't enjoy it?"
Akaji's pupils suddenly contracted, and for the first time, he couldn't say anything at all, and he couldn't refute the senior.
Pleasure is a matter of course for the people of the Akaji family, and if he can't even do such a small thing well, it will only increase the laughing stock, so he never considered an option other than victory, because he survived like that.
"Victory itself is a pleasure."
Akaji quickly came up with an answer, and he put away the chess pieces with an expressionless face, "No matter what the senior says, you and I have been facing each other for so long, don't you also want to win?"
"I'm not denying it."
Bai Shen smiled lightly: "The purpose of asking me to play chess is not to know what kind of person I am, let me tell you a good thing, what I am pursuing is not victory, but fun."
Bai Shen said this, the smile on his lips was dyed with a bit of indescribable weirdness, "As long as it can make me feel fun, even if I lose, why don't I lose to you in the chess game just now, but I think it will be more interesting to lose, and become a senior worthy of everyone's attention, but it's so interesting to see the stupid expressions of those people who believe in me."
Bai Shen said this, his eyes sparkled, like a demon in a frenzy, "Akaji, you said that a guy who goes against your will will will have to die even if it is his parents, but in fact, you can't do it at all, can't you kill your parents, and you can't do it at all, you are that kind of person, but I'm different." ” Bai Shen smiled slightly, his eyes completely wiped out the madness just now, and the smile on his lips was even more gentle, but at this moment, it was even more creepy, "If killing the people around me so far is a pleasure, why can't I start How short is the life of a person, I want to feel the real fun that others have never experienced, it must be hidden somewhere in this world, no matter what, I have to find it out, in addition to this, whether it is the basketball club, the student union, or even this school, It's just a toy to pass the time before I find that fun, but I'm getting tired of playing with it, Akaji, you're funny, but that's about it. ” Bai Shen's tone was still very gentle, but there was a little bit of undetectable regret, "You can't kill your father or your mother, your determination is so ethereal, your victory is so boring, you don't even know what you really want, is there anyone more pitiful than you in this world?"
Akaji's eyes changed, no, maybe his personality changed, one of his eyes shone with a metallic cold luster, and the other eye was like red blood, which made people feel horrified, "The senior is laughing again, you can't kill your own parents, if they die, the Kirishima chaebol will be greatly damaged, which is also a bad thing for the senior."
"I don't care, whoever wants to take over this mess will let whoever takes over it."
Bai Shen had a completely indifferent smile on his face, "Didn't I say that I just want to have fun, Akaji doesn't seem to believe what I just said, so okay, let's play a game." ” Bai Shen gently hooked the corners of his mouth, obviously a gentle and warm smile, but the words that came out of his mouth were terrifying, "This is a turn-based game, in order to prove the rhetoric of both of us, and by the way, give Akaji some time for you to prepare mentally, this game starts with me first, I will go back and kill my father, and when my father dies, it will be Akaji's turn to go back and kill your father, and then I will go back and kill my mother, and so on, until one of us can't do it, If you can kill one more person than me, I'll admit that you won, how about it" Akaji looked at the expression on Bai Shen's face in disbelief, as if he wanted to see through this person, those heterochromatic eyes were bottomless, but to his horror, he couldn't read any joke in the other party's eyes.
The other party is serious and wants to play such a game The blood all over his body was frozen at this moment, even Akaji, this time he couldn't keep calm, he had a mood similar to fear for the first time, what the senior said was no longer in the category of normal people, whether the other party was crazy, or had he always suppressed this crazy nature in his heart:
