Chapter 206: Black and White King Flash, Noon Has Arrived (asking for monthly ticket)
Xia Pingzhou did not disturb Ayase Origami, nor did he take the phone from her room. He just quietly left the underground corridor. The moment he walked out of the connected alley, the moonlight and the lights of thousands of homes reflected each other, illuminating his dark eyes.
Just at this moment, exactly at ten o'clock in the evening, the Big Ben on top of the Parliament Building rang.
“Boom…boom…boom…”
Hearing the bell announcing the time, Xia Pingzhou looked up and raised his eyebrows slightly, only to see a huge red exclamation mark standing on the top of Big Ben.
It is like a symbol of event card.
"On the rooftop of the Parliament Building? It's so conspicuous. Logically speaking, since it's guided by the system, there shouldn't be any problems... I'm really worried that I'll be caught by Urushihara Ruri as soon as I run over. I don't want this to happen every time the mobile suit and the main body meet."
As Xia Pingzhou thought about it, he raised his hand and put on the hat that came with his black coat, his face hidden in the shadows.
The evening breeze blew the brim of his hat. He stopped in the alley, leaning against a billboard, and released the Sky Drive secretly. The flowing black and white halo flowed like a tide, rotating around his body, forming a Möbius ring-like loop.
Now, with the improvement of the "spiritual" attribute, the "chessboard" range of the No. 2 machine has expanded to a circle with a radius of sixty meters.
Xia Pingzhou closed his eyes and could see the long, brightly lit street from a bird's-eye view. He could even see the expressions and lip movements of the pedestrians on the road and the smiling faces drawn with mist by children on the bus windows clearly.
It's like God lowering his eyes and looking down at the world.
He observed quietly for a moment, then opened his eyes, stretched out his arm and grabbed the chess shadow of the "Queen's Stone Statue".
When the chess piece shadow shattered, a clear "click" sound was heard, and then a luxurious and graceful giant figure responded and stood in front of him with a pious attitude, nodding slightly, waiting for orders.
As if it realized that its body was relatively large and might be seen by passers-by, the stone statue of the queen lowered its head and took two steps slightly to the side, hiding its body behind the billboard, just like Xia Pingzhou.
Xia Pingzhou exhaled, leaned against the billboard behind him, put his hands in his coat pockets, and slowly looked up at the stone statue of the queen.
"It seems like you're overworking yourself... You have to save the diaper demon and run with me. Aren't you tired?"
The stone statue of the queen was stunned for a moment, then looked up, met his gaze, and shook her head gently.
"Don't pretend, you should know what I'm thinking, right?" Xia Pingzhou suddenly said, "So... you know everything I've been through, including 'Xia Pingzhou is just a body'."
The stone statue of the queen was stunned again. After a few seconds, she nodded slightly nervously, indicating that she could sense the monarch's thoughts.
As Xia Pingzhou stared motionlessly, she lowered her head, raised her fingers nervously, and wrote with the flames on her fingertips, explaining, "This is a special mechanism designed to make it easier for chess players to give orders to chess species."
The Queen's stone statue also said that other chess types do not have their own thoughts and can only execute orders mechanically, but the Queen's stone statue is different. In fact, most of the time she can sense Xia Pingzhou's thoughts and his sorrows.
But out of respect for Xia Pingzhou, she would usually only show this in battle. In her daily life, she would pretend not to know what Xia Pingzhou was thinking.
"Thank you for your help. What do you think I should do?" Xia Pingzhou said, "I have so many worries, why don't you give me some advice? You are the only one in the world who knows what I am thinking and struggling with, why don't you say anything?"
The stone statue of the queen first seemed to have crashed and stayed where it was. Then it waved its hands in panic, and finally, it rested its chin on its hand and thought seriously for a long time, with a cold flame flickering in its eye sockets.
She lowered her eyes and suddenly recalled that her monarch was only twelve years old. It was normal for him to act unreasonably occasionally, and he should be given positive feedback and encouragement at this time.
Thinking of this, the stone statue of the queen nodded and raised the corners of her lips to him.
Then he raised his finger, with a hint of blue flame on his fingertips, and wrote in the air stroke by stroke:
“Whatever decision you make, it must be correct; even if it is not correct enough, I will definitely follow you to the end.”
Xia Pingzhou looked at the flaming words floating in the air until they were blown away by the wind and turned into ashes, then he looked away.
At this moment, the Queen's stone statue stared at him for a while, then suddenly came over, gently opened her silver arms, and held him in her arms. In order to prevent him from being hurt by mistake, she put the dagger back into her skirt in advance.
Xia Pingzhou was slightly stunned.
The moment she came into contact with the silver-white giant, her thoughts seemed to be transmitted:
"I know how much effort you put in and how much you endured... You have to put on a different face for every different person, and you have to use a different face to deal with the current environment all the time. Your heart has long been exhausted, and you even feel that your soul is about to be torn apart."
"But please remember that I will always be watching you from behind. The hardship and difficulty you are experiencing now are only temporary. One day, you will be able to take that white-haired girl out of that cage and... travel around the world."
Xia Pingzhou was silent for a long time, with his head lowered, his black hair covering his eyes.
"How come you even know about our plan to travel around the world? This is a secret between Kong Youling and me."
The stone statue of the queen lowered her eyes, with a cold flame flickering in her eyes.
"Please don't be like this, okay?" Ji Minghuan sighed. "If a hacker saw this, he would mock me and say, 'Why do you have another mother, and a mother of a different species?' I would be so embarrassed."
The Queen's stone statue let go of Ji Minghuan, hesitated for a moment, raised her hand and wrote in the darkness: "If you want me to play the role of a mother, I can do it."
"I was just kidding..." Ji Minghuan shrugged, "I just wanted to test whether you could read my mind outside of combat. I didn't expect you to confess everything right away. It was meaningless and saved me the trouble of testing you."
He raised his hand to wipe his nose and said calmly, "Let's go to Big Ben. There is still a card event that has not been completed. If we are late, it may be gone."
The queen nodded, hugged his body, and leaped towards London under the moonlight like a gust of wind, dancing above the spires of Gothic buildings. At this moment, her figure was clear and noble, and her neck was as slender as a swan.
A huge silver-white shadow as bright as moonlight moved at high speed over London. It soon arrived at the Parliament Building, stepped on the wall and quickly climbed up to the top.
She gently let go of Xia Pingzhou.
Xia Pingzhou stood on the top of the tower, raised his arms, and looked up against the strong wind.
The huge red exclamation mark in the night sky slowly disappeared, and was replaced by a black and white event prompt box.
[The card event No. 1 in London, England has been triggered - defeat the "Clock Demon" on top of Big Ben. ]
"Is this another card incident and a demon appearing together?" he thought, "It's a good time to test the strength of the king's new power."
The stone statue of the queen stood in front of Xia Pingzhou, with its head raised, staring motionlessly at the distorted night sky.
At this moment, the sky burst like glass, and then a demon made up of three huge clocks squeezed out of it. Its body structure was like Magnemite in "Pokemon".
The three second hands of the clock demon spun at the same time, and the "clicking" sound overlapped in the air. Then thirty-six numbers fell from the dial of the clock, just like a woman washing off her makeup with makeup remover, which was creepy.
The thirty-six Arabic numerals spun at high speed in the sky, forming a digital vortex that unreasonably stirred space and time into it like a black hole. The closer you get to the digital vortex, the slower time passes, and space becomes vaguely turbulent like a mirage.
Xia Pingzhou thought to himself: "I just finished defeating the Blue Arc Demon, and now you want me to fight the Ghost Bell Demon? What a loving father and filial son, and a friendly brother and respectful younger brother. Ghost Bell Demon... I'll send you to hell to meet your son." Thinking of this, his eyes turned cold.
"Prepare to die...Ghost Bell Demon." He said softly, reaching out to touch the four chess shadows on the black and white ring.
Amid the hissing sound of shattering glass, the stone statue of the king, the stone statue of the knight, and two stone statues of soldiers appeared, surrounding Xia Pingzhou like a giant army.
The stone statue of the queen was connected with Xia Pingzhou's mind and understood what he was going to do at this moment, so it silently took two steps back.
At the same time, a scarlet glow suddenly appeared in the empty eye sockets of the king's stone statue, as if he had signed a contract with the devil and gained power from purgatory at this moment.
Xia Pingzhou closed his eyes and gave silent orders to the king in his heart.
Immediately, a black and white system prompt box popped up in the darkness of my mind.
[Sacrificing the "Knight Colossus" and two "Soldier Colossus" has met the conditions for releasing the power. 】
[Hint: The ultimate power of the King Statue - "King's Flash" has been unlocked. ]
Xia Pingzhou opened his eyes and said, "The King's Stone Statue, release the power 'King's Flash' towards the Ghost Bell Demon."
As soon as he finished speaking, the figures of the knights and soldiers turned into a bloody storm of only black and white, splashing past and instantly merging into the scepter held high by the stone statue of the king.
A small sphere that sometimes expands and sometimes contracts accumulates on the top of the scepter. The sphere, which is only the size of a fingertip, changes between black and white, containing a powerful vitality, as if it condenses the entire chessboard world.
The stone king points the top of the scepter at the clock demon.
“Boom——!”
With a deafening roar, the fingertip-sized sphere shattered in an instant, and a huge black and white beam of light shot up into the sky, roaring and tearing through the atmosphere, swallowing up time and space, penetrating the vortex composed of Arabic numerals, and then rushing towards the body of the clock demon, burning it into embers.
And after that, the black and white light column continued to shoot upward unstoppably like a wild beast out of control, competing with the clouds and the moon, lifting the clouds above, and the dark clouds covering the moon disappeared in an instant, reduced to ashes.
At this moment, it was as if a window of the sky was opened, and the moonlight poured down unreservedly, sprinkling on the heads of Xia Pingzhou and the Queen's statue, and covering the Big Ben in London.
The atmosphere was sobbing and the wind was howling endlessly. A sound louder than Big Ben fell into the ears of every citizen. They looked up in surprise at the sky above the Parliament Building, as if they saw snow falling.
The black and white light column has faded, and in its place a huge hole has appeared in the middle of the clouds. A huge bright moon hangs in the middle of the hole, and there is a touch of clear light on the horizon.
Xia Pingzhou looked at this scene, and a black and white prompt box suddenly popped up in his dark eyes.
【Completed the card event No. ① in London, England.】
[As a reward, the event card "Noon has arrived" has been added to the event card book of Unit 2. Open the card book to view the effect of the card. ]
