Hogwarts Wizard of the East

Chapter 16 Chessboard

Li Ran was tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep.

He sat up from the bed. The lights were not turned on in the room and the curtains were closed.It can be said that I can't see my fingers.He touched his right wrist based on his feeling - where the unknown Ouroboros tattoo was.

The skin at the tattoo site was different from other parts of his body. It gave people a cold feeling as soon as it was touched.This feeling is not very comfortable. If I have to describe it specifically, it feels like touching the lake water with a thin layer of ice in the cold winter in September.

Li Ran stopped stroking the tattoo with his hand. He stretched out the index fingers of both hands and slowly rubbed his temples.

He always felt that things had gotten worse since the three of them got on the train this time, and most importantly, he had an inexplicable and wonderful idea in his mind. He had a vague feeling that from the beginning to the present, these things were going on behind the scenes. It all seems to be controlled by a black hand.The moment he had this idea, the scene in front of him changed.

The originally clean and tidy house was instantly annihilated. No, not just the house, everything around him was turned into powder...including his parents who were sleeping in the bed next to him.

His eyes turned red instantly and were bloodshot. They were as wide as copper bells, and the corners of his eyes seemed to be torn open.

But before he could make any move, he noticed a stretching feeling in his body, and his body seemed to suddenly grow into the shape of an adult man about 1.8 meters tall.

After the growth was over, his limbs seemed to be restricted and unable to move.He could only turn his head a few times, and the pajamas he was wearing disappeared.Instead, he was dressed like an ancient soldier - wearing a long jacket, armor on the outside, shorts on the lower body, leggings tied to the outer legs, a pair of short boots on the feet, and a flat bun with a flat plate on the back of the head. He holds a long bronze sword in his left hand, and a medium-sized shield in his right hand. On the shield is carved an angry Qilin, all covered in black. (Note 1)

He spent a lot of effort and could only observe up, down, left, and right in a small range.At this moment, a big event occurred. Li Ran found himself on a large and terrifying chess board.

The most important thing is that there is still a huge hand floating above his head!

He seems to have become a 'pawn' in chess!

Before he could recover, he was pushed step by step from his black square to the opposite red square by the huge hand in the sky.After reaching the red square, the giant hand let go of him and returned to the top of his head.

At this time, he felt that the power restraining his limbs disappeared, and he moved on the spot. Unfortunately, at this time, he had already crossed the boundary between Chu River and Han Dynasty.Just like what people say, 'a pawn once gone never comes back', he couldn't take a step back.The most important thing is that the huge hand is always suspended above his head, using transparent silk threads to force him to perform various movements.

It took Li Ran a long time to forcefully turn his head, looked at his own position, and found that except for an old general who was still standing at the back, the other chess pieces had fallen to the ground and died.

And what about the other side?He turned his head to observe again, but he only saw layers of fog, and the red position in front was completely covered by the fog.

Is this what it feels like to be treated like an ant?He laughed at himself sadly in his heart.At this moment, the anger in his heart had been covered by a huge sense of powerlessness.

No, maybe he is a little stronger than an ant, after all, he is now the 'pawn' of the big hand above his head.It can be regarded as barely falling into the eyes of the strong and becoming a pawn in his hands.

The feeling of powerlessness increased again.

The big hand on Li Ran's head didn't know that the pawn in his hand had so many thoughts.

The big hand manipulated the silk thread to control him to move forward.The feeling of being unable to move came back.

He stepped into the fog of the red square step by step.

After entering it, I found that the fog only had an outer layer, like a barrier, which was simply surrounded.

At this moment, there were not many chess pieces on the red side's position. There were only a few pawns in red armor and a red battle station the size of a truck, standing still a few hundred meters in front of him to his left.

He looked carefully and found that the color of the pawn on the opposite side was different from his own.

Every pawn on the opposite side was not wearing the ancient Chinese soldier armor that Li Ran wore.It is a kind of heavy armor similar to that passed down by European medieval knights, and he also holds a spear and a lion shield in his hand.They also have European faces, with blond hair and thick beards.

Fortunately, the opponent didn't have a mount that matched his equipment, he thought with luck.

At this time, the giant hand manipulating him suddenly withdrew the silk thread on his body, and slowly retreated out of the fog.It quickly withdrew from the fog of the red side and disappeared on the red side's position.It seems to want him to fend for himself.

At this time, Li Ran also felt that the physical restrictions had disappeared, because he could not retreat, he could only bend down and walk quietly to the right, trying to stay away from the European soldiers.

It's a pity that before he took a few steps, those soldiers discovered him and rushed towards him with spears and shields.

His heart sank, and instead of bending down, he took long strides to the right and ran away.While running away, he looked back at the soldiers. He also took the time to glance at the red tank. Fortunately, the tank didn't chase him for some unknown reason, and it still stopped in place and didn't move.This relieved his mood a little, but fortunately it wasn't the worst.

Li Ran dragged these soldiers to run.

It's not that he's afraid of fighting, but that there are too many people on the other side, there are three people, three times as many as himself.He could only try to increase the distance between these few people to see if he could break them one by one.He kept looking back at the three soldiers.

He had already discovered that the speeds of these people were not exactly the same.It was obvious that one soldier was chasing him much faster than the other two.

If the opponent's speed was exactly the same, he would have stopped and waited to die.After running for a while, he found that his physical strength had not been lost at all, as if his body didn't know how to be tired at all.

The winning rate has increased by another [-]%, and Li Ran feels a little happy.

Thanks to the large enough chessboard, he ran for more than ten minutes and still hadn't reached the grid in the upper right corner of the chessboard.But basically it's only a few hundred meters away.He turned around and found that the soldiers who had been chasing him had already been divided into two echelons.

The one at the front was the fastest soldier I had seen before, and he was a few hundred meters away from the two people behind him, and almost a few hundred meters away from himself.The two people in the back can't see clearly, and the distance between them seems to be about 100 meters.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Ran stopped and turned to look at the fastest soldier.

He loosened the sword and shield in his hands, twisted his neck, and moved his body, trying to dispel the tension and fear in his heart.

"Touch", he collided the bronze long sword and the unicorn shield in his hand.He bit his lower lip with his teeth.Blood burst out, flowing from the lower lip to the chin, and then slowly dripping to the ground.

Due to running for a long time, the bun on the head has long been scattered, and the long hair was blown by the breeze that appeared in the chessboard at an unknown time, making it look a little messy.

Li Ran stopped biting his lip, and spat out a mouthful of saliva mixed with blood.The eyes became no longer afraid, but rather bloodthirsty frenzy.

He firmly held the bronze long sword in his right hand, and there were blue veins protruding from the back of his hand.

The tattoo on the wrist has also become darker, like a black hole, even the color of light is swallowed by it.

It's going to be a tough fight.Watching the European soldiers gradually approaching, Li Ran thought silently.
