Witch Hunt



Witch Hunt

The chess piece that was being pushed towards Wu Ci stopped, and Wu Ci's vision was pulled upward. He felt his consciousness falling back into his real self, and then his real self was pulled from the closet into the inner world.

He sat next to the chessboard, facing the solemn and dignified silver shadow of Sir Silver. On the chessboard, the chess pieces that had already been half moved by Sir Silver were quickly returned to their original shape.

He plays the black pieces and Sir Silver plays the white pieces.

【Restart the game】

[Players please act with caution]

Act with caution?

Different from the ancient East where Xuan was respected and therefore the black pieces move first in Go, the white pieces move first in chess.

White represents day and black represents night, and day comes before night.

In order to be fair, we should roll a dice to decide who plays the white chess piece, but this is the Silver Jazz's home court.

No matter how cautious he acted, Sir Silver chose the white chess piece in advance, and Wu Ci lost the first move.

His consciousness was divided into two parts, one was the entity overlooking the chess game, and the other was [Dextol] who was continuing the simulation in the white building.

Ines tugged at his sleeve and asked, "What's wrong with you, Dexter? You seem to be thinking about something else? You've been getting worse lately... Do you need to take a doctor to see you? I heard that bloodletting is very effective. Oh, you must have a brain problem. How about a frontal lobotomy? Maybe it will be better?"

"Dextal?"

Wu Ci did not respond to Inès's filial piety, which was enough to murder him.

The entity he is controlling now focuses on the other side.

On the opposite side, the sullen and indifferent shadow of Sir Silver gradually turned into his simulated identity father, Baron Foster, who had just appeared.

[Lord Foster] said in a poetic tone that belonged to the impression of Wu Ci: "You surprised me, not only because you suddenly became a chess player, but also because of your appearance."

Wu Ci lowered his head in silence and looked at his own body.

Before the simulation began, Wu Fu had left many marks on his body for authenticity. There were marks of ligatures on his wrists, various whip marks and bite marks on his body, his collar was wide open, and he even had a collar around his neck...

Very...very disgraceful...

Originally, it was no big deal for him to stay in the closet for a short period of time... but now... the embarrassment has been brought to Lord Silver...

Damn, doesn't Silver Lord think he's playing it safe?

Xuanling is immortal, so won't Sir Silver tell all the Xuanlings that he met a very unique and extravagant guy?

Wu Ci can already associate that scene with his mind. If the Xuan Ling have human nature, then all the Xuan Ling will definitely hear Sir Silver's nonsense, and spread it to his believers as a joke, causing him to encounter people who think he is playing too much every time he starts a simulation during a certain period of time?

How can he simulate if his initial impression is not good?! When he simulates a Heroic Spirit, everyone will say: Hey, that Heroic Spirit who plays a lot of tricks, his Exorcist must also play a lot of tricks!

Unable to accept, unacceptable. Thinking of that scene, Wu Ci almost collapsed on the spot and killed all the guys who knew about his dishonorable behavior.

Not to mention, what if the news gets to Tianzun... Tianzun has such a high degree of compatibility with him, and his disciples are all a group of decent and good-looking guys although their average IQ is not high. So, it is not unreasonable for Tianzun to eliminate this disgraceful thing that ruins the family's reputation just for the sake of pursuing respectability!

Wu Ci tried to remain calm and decent, smiling as if he didn't care at all, "But it's just a temporary measure, sorry for the joke."

Silver Lord looked at him and suddenly asked, "You don't like my identity and appearance?"

Wu Ci, who had been completely assimilated by Tianzun and turned into a beauty addict, did not show disgust on the face of Baron Foster, which was considered very cultured. He did not even want to make a perfunctory remark like Huyou Tianzun, and said with a fake smile, "You are joking. With your status, it is not possible to say whether you like it or not. You are the master of this era, how can I be qualified to judge?"

Silver Lord obviously understood what he meant. "You don't seem to like your father's body. What about this one?"

Lord Foster's body faded, reverted to a solemn, ruthless silvery white, and then began to change color again.

A handsome vagrant [knight] that Wu Ci was familiar with, with black hair and black eyes, a tall and strong build, and tanned skin.

[Ranger] was not wearing the same old hard leather coat as in his memory, nor was he wearing his signature light leather armor and narrow riding boots, or the knight's gauntlet hanging at his waist.

He was dressed in formal attire, a red fur shawl with bell-shaped pleats and wide sleeves, and on his head he wore the same silver crown that had just appeared on [Lord Forster’s] head.

It is the crown that represents the "king" of chess pieces.

He suddenly approached Wu Ci, and the face of the "Wanderer" showed the lazy, carefree and passionate look that Wu Ci was familiar with, and even his breath was warm.

He said in the casual and lazy tone of a knight, "Your taste... is very mixed. Si Chen, Sui Gu, Lady An Hun, oh, and now I have to add myself. I am very curious... Did you go around with them? How did you get their preference? Dextal? Is it because of your specialness?"

Wu Ci was a little more tolerant of this changed face.

Perhaps Sir Silver himself didn't know that becoming more handsome would not reduce Wu Ci's vigilance or increase his intimacy with him. Instead, it would make Wu Ci more willing to condescend and spend his energy to understand him.

Does Xuanling also know how to simulate the concept of "breathing"?

As for what Sir Yin said, "Si Chen" is the name of Tianzun, and it has the flavor of Tianzun, which should be the reason why his original body is a person favored by Tianzun.

The reason for the smell of Sui Gu was because he had just gone to the Twilight Bar and happened to run into Tian Zun and Sui Gu fighting for the Remaining Heavenly Dao, and he was somewhat influenced by the aura through the barrier between the Heaven Beyond Heaven and the World.

As for Lady Requiem... He would only pay attention to her because she is a witch, but Sir Silver was talking about the flavor of the witch's essence. The only person who has a connection with the witch's essence and Lady Requiem is Black Cat, an official of the Fourth Cult who worships Lady Requiem.

So, Mrs. Requiem noticed him through the black cat?

What did the black cat do again?

Wu Ci stopped thinking.

Don't think about it anymore. Think about it after you get out. Right now, you don't even have a specific plan for leaving, so there's no need to think so much.

The tone of Silver Lord's speech was a point that could be explored. He was very curious, was it that Silver Lord would have the personality of the person he simulated? Then could he be easily deceived like the con man? Just walk out?

He deliberately frowned and touched the chess piece in his hand uncomfortably, "I don't know what you mean... Forgive me for being frank, but I'm just an ordinary person. How can I be related to those beings you are talking about?

Also... please don't communicate with me like this, it makes me feel a little weird."

"Why? You don't like it?" The Ranger transformed into Ines, who was also wearing a crown, and asked in a puzzled and coquettish voice with the innocent and matter-of-fact expression of Ines, "Did I fail to please you, Dextal?"

Wu Ci was really unable to hold back now.

He was planning to do PUA as a con man first, but why didn't Silver Sir just play by the rules and pretend to be his stupid daughter?

Even though Silver Sir's gender is unknown, she is pretending to be the daughter of an ant and asking such a misleading question to an ant...

...Don’t all the mysterious spirits except Tianzun need to be respectable?

Why do you want to please him? If you really want to please him, you wouldn't have killed him last week, and you wouldn't have brought him to play the game this week!

He sneered in his heart, but sighed on his face, and smiled helplessly, "With your status, why do you tease me like this?"

"Because you're interesting..." [Ines] turned back into [Ranger], pushed a chess piece forward, raised his hand and pointed at the chessboard, "Please, I can't wait to taste your soul."

Wu Ci could not say anything after hearing this and looked down at the chessboard.

The leftmost pawn of the White side.

In a trance, he saw through the chessboard that the Temple sent scouts to Ipvance where his simulated identity was to investigate the situation.

[Youxia] smiled and said, "This is the first step of the test. The two sides haven't met yet. What's your plan for the chess move?"

Wu Ci remained silent, but also pushed forward a [soldier]

He is not very good at chess at all; he is better at Go.

He had spent all his time in his previous life learning knowledge that would be useful for his future. He tried his best to endure and it was difficult to survive. His sleep time was squeezed to a minimum of four hours a day. He had no energy to learn "entertainment activities" that would waste a lot of time.

I just learned Go because I thought it might be of some use.

Later, Wu Ci fled around the world and had even less energy.

As for chess, he only roughly knew the rules, which he could recall through his strong memory.

The black and white sides each have 16 pieces, namely: King, Queen, Rook, Bishop, Knight, and Pawn.

One king and one queen, two chariots, two horses, two elephants, and eight soldiers.

Each type of piece has different rules for movement, and there are special situations that can be rotated.

The purpose is to capture the opponent's king, which is called checkmate.

Wuci's [Soldier] took a step forward, and the simulated identity Dextol from another perspective responded to Ines, "Someone is here to spy on us. They are knight scouts from the Temple. Let's all stay calm and get ready for battle."

"What about my new dress?" Ines teased him.

"Call the tailor to the underground laboratory to do the work for you." Wu Ci touched her head, "Now go and inform everyone, especially the girls, and ask them to leave the underground laboratory."

"I'll go now."

You respond

"What a rigid and rigid approach. Do you really care about those people's lives?" The Ranger pushed another Soldier with great interest. "Especially those girls? Those witches who should be burned to death?"

Following His actions, Wu Ci once again saw the resulting changes on the chessboard.

The witch hunt intensified, and countless innocent girls were burned at the stake.

"What do you think? Are you going to help those girls even though you might be discovered by the Holy Temple at any time as the leader of the rebellious cavalry? Dextal? You clearly don't care much about the people who died on the battlefield?"

I'm so sleepy. I'll fix the typos when I get off work tomorrow.
