Chapter 207: Black King's Domain, Five Armies and Two Horses (asking for monthly tickets)

"This 'King's Flash'... seems to be even more powerful than I imagined."

Xia Pingzhou stood on the top of the Parliament Building and looked up at the hole in the sky above the city.

In the center of the hole, the lonely and cold full moon was surrounded by a ring of dark clouds, like a bright mirror placed in a black pool of water.

"After all, this move can only be used after sacrificing three chess pieces," he thought, "The prerequisites are so complicated, it would be too much if there is no outstanding performance."

The Queen's stone statue suddenly patted his shoulder gently, raised her finger, and wrote in the air with a cold blue flame:

"We have to go. We've caused quite a stir."

Xia Pingzhou glanced at the blue words hanging in the air, then looked down at the brightly lit street.

At this moment, every citizen raised their heads high and cast their eyes, focusing on the top of the Parliament Building. They raised their hands and pointed at the hole in the sky and shouted. The discussion rose and fell like the tide, and the whole city gradually became restless, as if it had just bid farewell to dusk and ushered in a lively day.

Xia Pingzhou nodded: "Let's go."

He turned his head to look at the stone statue of the king beside him, and suddenly remembered that due to the influence of the skill [Puppet King], the stone statue of the king can actually move now.

Maybe it can run very fast? Thinking of this, Xia Pingzhou gave the order:

"King, move."

At this moment, because of the release of the "King's Flash", the eyes of the king's stone statue have lost their luster again. He suddenly twitched and moved, with his elbows bent very stiffly, like a robot dancer on the stage of a middle school celebration.

Xia Pingzhou was silent, thinking to himself: "What's the difference between this and not being able to walk?"

The stone statue of the queen looked at the king silently, spread her hands, and turned to look at Xia Pingzhou.

Xia Pingzhou shrugged and silently put the stone statue of the king back into the black and white circle.

"Let's go," he said.

The stone statue of the queen nodded at him, then quickly hugged Xia Pingzhou into her arms and entered the "void" form.

The next moment, the two figures were like transparent flying birds, ignoring the buildings under their feet. They were pulled by gravity and fell straight down from the top of the huge clock tower, shuttling through the central axis of the Parliament Building at high speed.

There was even a second when their figures overlapped with the dial of Big Ben, as if they were embedded together.

The stone statue of the queen fell straight to the ground with Xia Pingzhou, then quickly shot into a nearby alley, climbed over eaves and walls, stepped on the fence to the rooftop, and headed towards the underground corridor.

Xia Pingzhou only needed to be carried throughout the whole process. When he had nothing to do, he looked up at the panel hovering in the air and began to check the gains of the battle.

[Due to the influence of the passive skill "Demon Hunter", a one-time chess type - "Clock Demon" has been obtained. 】

"I really should have kept the 'Blue Electric Mouse Demon' and the 'Magician Demon' so that I could have a complete family of three." He thought, "This chess piece should be quite powerful. Although I killed it in one move, judging by its performance, it is probably at least a B-level demon."

[Detected that a C-level or higher demon was killed. The cumulative kill count of the "Wild Hunt Winter" system has been updated: 27/40]

[Current kill count: 27, 13 more kills are needed to complete the goal of "Training Mission 4". ]

[The current progress of the second character's Sky Drive "Chess" is: 33%/100%]

[Tip: After reaching 100% progress, your Sky Drive will automatically evolve to the third-order form. After the advancement, you can make a contract with a brand new demon to comprehensively enhance the ability of the Sky Drive. ]

[It has been deduced that one of the abilities that may appear after Tianqu is promoted to the third level is: "Black King Domain" (When you unfold the "chessboard", no object can leave the "chessboard" at will unless you allow it or kill you)]

"Block the chessboard?" Xia Pingzhou raised his eyebrows. "Really? It's just timely relief... My ability system understands me best. This way, after Unit 2 is upgraded to level 3, I will be able to kill the Ripper."

Originally, Ji Minghuan was worried that when the war with Yan Molin officially started a month later, what would happen if Yan Molin did not choose to confront him head-on but kept running away?

Although this possibility is not high, given the Ripper's personality, he will most likely be enraged and beat him to his knees before leaving. But once the Ripper becomes wise and wants to stay away from Xia Pingzhou's chessboard, he will never be able to catch up with her.

So it's easy to get into a situation where he has the upper hand in a battle, but the Ripper suddenly doesn't want to fight anymore and just runs away from his chessboard, making all his efforts go to waste.

After all, due to the limitations of the Tianqu mechanism, Xia Pingzhou is only good at positional warfare.

Currently, only the Queen can transcend the influence of the chessboard and move outside the chessboard. Therefore, the second machine is likely to be helpless against powerful enemies outside the chessboard.

But now it seems that this concern is no longer necessary. As long as Tianqu is upgraded to the third level, Xia Pingzhou can seal the Ripper in his chessboard.

At that time, she was like a turtle in a jar, and had to face Xia Pingzhou's massive army alone.

"Thousands of troops and horses?" The thoughts of the stone statue of the queen were transmitted to Xia Pingzhou's mind.

"Five armies and two horses." Xia Pingzhou also responded with his thoughts.

The stone statue of the queen nodded. She seemed inexplicably serious about this matter.

A man and a giant statue shuttled through the dark night. Looking up, the full moon in the clouds shone brighter than any other day, as if it were daytime.

The chimes of Big Ben and the voices of people on the long street overlapped, and the momentary hustle and bustle made people mistakenly think that this was a sleepless night, but soon the clouds covered the moon again, and the city dimmed in the flickering moonlight, and the Thames still flowed quietly.

At the same time, Xia Pingzhou returned to the underground corridor.

In the pitch-dark corridor, the only sounds were his footsteps and the stone statue of the queen.

He put the stone statue of the queen back into the black and white circle, then retracted his Tianqu, took off his hat, smoothed his messy hair, and put his hands into the pockets of his black coat.

When passing by Ayase Origami's room, he lowered his footsteps, fearing that she would ask him where he had been.

However, when he arrived at his room, he was slightly stunned.

Xia Pingzhou stopped and stood at the door. He saw a cell phone chain hanging on the door handle. At the end of the chain was a cell phone, and on top of it was a small black and white cat doll.

He had never seen this doll before. He guessed that Ayase Origami bought it in the mall today when she was strolling alone outside, and wanted to give it to him as a cell phone pendant.

Xia Pingzhou seemed to be able to imagine that the eldest lady had just walked out of the room, knocked on his door, and found that no one responded, so she leaned against the door and waited quietly for a while. Maybe she thought Xia Pingzhou had already fallen asleep, so she hung the phone on the door handle.

Of course, it is also possible that she already knew that Xia Pingzhou had slipped away again.

Xia Pingzhou lowered his eyes and picked up his phone, glanced at the extra phone chain, then turned the door handle and entered the room. The basement was empty, with only the hum of the exhaust fan.

Normal people who live in such a place for a long time may suffer from tinnitus due to depression. Fortunately, Ji Minghuan is different. His original body lives in a more depressing place.

Xia Pingzhou closed the door casually and collapsed on the bed, feeling exhausted.

He called up the gear panel, opened the event card book, and took a look at the card he had just obtained.

[Event Card Name: Noon has arrived]

[Event Card Number: London ①]

[Event card effect: This card can only be used at "midnight". A bell sound will spread out, and the gravity of the enemies who hear the bell sound will suddenly increase several times.]

[Tip: Event cards will disappear after use. You can also choose to sell the card in exchange for "1" skill point. ]

"Amplify the enemy's gravity, so that they can kneel on the ground and be unable to move. It sounds like it could have a miraculous effect." Xia Pingzhou thought, "But the time limit is too harsh. It can only be used at midnight. However, I can't use a single skill point for the time being. I'll save this card for opening the Ripper."

Thinking of this, he closed a series of system panels.

"Go to sleep..." Xia Pingzhou picked up the phone chain and looked at the cat doll hanging on the chain. "I have to go to Norway tomorrow. I can get some information from Tong Zizhu and ask about the mother of Unit 1."

He yawned, put the phone back on the pillow, and slowly closed his eyes.

My consciousness gradually faded away in the humming sound of the fan blades.

Just then, he was suddenly awakened by a series of continuous and rapid sounds.

"Yagubaru, Yagubaru..."

Ji Minghuan emptied his mind and was in a daze for a long time, then he realized that it was Xizel's voice.

He thought that it should be still dark in the small garden, could it be that there was another assassin? But what kind of assassin would be so bold, considering that Li Qingping was still guarding the yard.

As he thought about it, he quickly synchronized his consciousness with Unit 3.

The palm-sized Nobe shark opened its eyes from the crystal ball and found itself on the rooftop. César placed the crystal ball on the top of the fence, lowered his eyes, and looked down at the island in the sea with a focused expression.

"What's wrong, Cesar?" asked Yagubaru.

However, as soon as the words came out of its mouth, it was slightly stunned, because it saw a huge, red exclamation mark above the island on the sea, which meant that a card event occurred in the whale's box garden.

"It doesn't look right... The magical creatures living on that island seem to be heading towards the town." César said as he raised his index finger and pointed at the forest.

Yagubaru's pupils erected slightly, and his sharp dynamic vision allowed him to capture the shadows moving at high speed in the forest like ghosts and monsters.

"Then let's go and take a look."

As it spoke, it controlled the dark water flow to push open the lid of the crystal ball, leaped out of it, and landed on César's shoulder.

"Um."
