[Soul of Chess] What if

"Actually... I don't know why I'm looking for it~" Ah Guang laughed dryly.

Hearing such an answer, Xiao Ming felt extremely helpless: "Really... Then you came here in a hurry after school..."

Ah Guang grabbed a piece of cloth and wiped it hard on the chessboard, pretending not to hear Xiao Ming's complaints.

"Ah! There are really spots like blood here!"

Although it was just pretending to wipe at first, gradually he started to get serious.Therefore, after seeing the traces on the chessboard, he couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Huh? Where is it?" Hearing what Ah Guang said, Xiao Ming also bent down to check.

"Here." Ah Guang pointed to a place on the surface of the chessboard.

"Where is it?" Xiao Ming looked for a long time but did not see the blood that A Guang mentioned, and his tone became a little anxious.

"It's right here!" Ah Guang raised his voice.

Seeing Ah Guang gesticulating so seriously, Xiao Ming squatted down.

She looked at it seriously for a while, but still didn't find anything.All she could see were the clear and distinct grid lines on the chessboard.

She muttered in a low voice as if discouraged: "But it's obviously very clean!"

It's just that at this time Ah Guang had already fallen into deep thought, so he didn't hear Xiao Ming's voice.

what happened?The bloody chessboard actually exists!Ah Guang was full of surprise.

Just at this time……

"Can you see it?" came a small voice.

Ah Guang thought it was Xiao Ming who was talking, so he said in a sharp tone, "I've said it since just now..."

"Can you hear my voice?" It was still the same voice, but this time there was surprise and joy in that voice.

Huh? !

This is not Xiao Ming's voice!

Only then did Ah Guang realize something was wrong.

Just when Ah Guang was in shock, the voice sounded again, his tone was full of affirmation: "You can really hear my voice."

"Who is it?" Ah Guang raised his head and shouted into the darkness around him.

Taking chances, Ah Guang asked again: "Is it grandpa?"

It's just that the surroundings are still quiet, except for the sound of rain outside the window, there is no other movement at all.

After all, Ah Guang was only 12 years old, he shouted for a long time but saw no one, he couldn't help but panic: "Don't hide, come out!"

"Xiaoguang, what's wrong with you?" Seeing this, Xiao Ming asked in confusion.

Ah Guang's expression was full of uneasiness, and even his words trembled: "Xiao Ming, there are people in the warehouse..."

"Hate it! Stop talking nonsense!"

It was already very late at this time, the sky outside was gloomy, and the dim warehouse looked particularly gloomy due to the lack of sound.

Xiao Ming saw that Ah Guang's mood didn't seem right, so he couldn't help becoming scared: "I...I'm going home..." After finishing speaking, he ran down the stairs.

at this time--

"Thank you to all the gods in the world!

I finally once again...

Once again... back to the present world..."

Accompanied by a voice as warm as moonlight, a figure appeared in front of Ah Guang.

After that person's face was completely displayed in front of Ah Guang's eyes——

this person!

The man in the dream!

He actually... actually appeared!

Then, Ah Guang lost consciousness.

Hearing the noise from the warehouse, Xiao Ming was very scared, but because she was worried about Ah Guang, she still asked: "Xiao Guang? Xiao Guang! What's wrong with you?"

Not hearing Ah Guang's answer, Xiao Ming bravely returned to the warehouse.

When she found out that Ah Guang had passed out on the ground, she couldn't help but turn pale with shock, and hurriedly called to Ah Guang's grandfather: "Grandpa! It's not good! Xiaoguang passed out!"

I don't know how long it took, although Ah Guang has not woken up, but has regained consciousness.

He obviously felt an aura that didn't belong to him, so he said softly.

Who are you...now...inside me...?

Yes, I am in your consciousness... the man in the dark responded.

你 叫 什么 名字？

Fujiwara Sakai.

Zuowei?Ah Guang asked incredulously.

Yes.

Zuowei... sai... Ah Guang murmured and repeated a few times, and then suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Sai? !This name is the same as the name in the dream!

So, what do you do?Ah Guang continued to ask without giving up.

I am the person who taught the Emperor to play Go in the capital during the Heian period.

Heian era...?I seem to have heard Mr. Sakurai say it, I remember it was...more than 1000 years ago.

By the way, what else did he say just now?Did you teach the emperor how to play Go?

The emperor...it feels so powerful.Ah Guang could not help but smack his lips.

etc!Go? !Did it match up with the dream?how so? !Ah Guang felt that his current mood could not be described in words.

Could this... be the legendary prophetic dream? !

what happened? !Do you really have superpowers?

And no matter how powerless Ah Guang's thoughts are, and no matter how surprised he is now.In short, Zuo Wei began to talk about his past——

My job is to serve as the emperor's Go instructor in the Qingliang Temple where the emperor lives daily.

I can play Go every day, every day, which makes me feel very happy.

It's just that besides me, there is another person who taught the Emperor Go skills.

His name is... Sugawara Kentada.

One day, he made a proposal to the Emperor.

He said: "My lord, to guide you in chess, one person is enough. Let's play chess, and the winner will stay."

The Emperor accepted his suggestion, and a game of chess was held.

The game is carried out under the condition that the chess situation is evenly matched.

Under everyone's gaze, I was the only one who happened to see this scene: in that person's chess pot, there was a white stone mixed in it.

He should have put that pawn back in my chess jar.However, he put that white piece on the lid of the chess box as his own grape!

"You just—" When I was about to shout out...

"Hey! You just took the sunspots in your chess box as your own grapes, right?"

"what?!"

"I saw it! You took the sunspots mixed in the chess box as your own grapes while everyone was staring at the chessboard!" the man said angrily.

"You, you are talking nonsense, you are the one who cheated!"

"Hmph! What a boring excuse!"

The crowd gradually began to commotion.at this time--

"It's ugly! Be quiet!"

Even though it was covered by the imperial curtain, the emperor's coercion was clearly revealed.

"Such a despicable behavior will appear in front of me, I never thought of it! Let's continue."

So, the chess game started again.

only……

I couldn't hold back my wavering mood.

In the end, I lost that game of chess...

I was stigmatized and expelled from the capital...

Because there is no skill to earn a living.Two days later, I committed suicide by drowning myself.

My soul cannot become a Buddha.

Because, I still want to continue playing chess...

Unable to become a Buddha, my soul resides on the chessboard.After long years, I heard the voice of a little child.

"No one can see the stain on this chessboard except me. This trace looks like someone's tear stains, why is it only me who can see it?"

After hearing his voice, I slowly got up.

"My child, my child, if you can see my tears of remorse, let me stay in a small corner of your heart..."

That child's name is Toranojiro.

He agreed to my request and lent me his body, so I could play chess as much as I wanted.

When he grew up, he took the name Honinbo Shusaku, and played Ojogi for the first time at the age of 21.

He became the leading master of Yuchengqi. After his first match, he won 13 consecutive victories in [-] years.

only……

He unfortunately contracted a disease at the age of 34 and died young...

Before he died, he said to me: "I'm sorry, Zuo Wei. I can't let you play chess anymore..."

Aguang quietly listened to Zuowei's narration.

So, you are possessing me because you want to...continue playing chess?After he finished speaking, Ah Guang asked uncertainly.

Yes.Because I... haven't reached the state of supernatural skills yet.

Amazing skills?Ah Guang repeated uncertainly.

Yes.

Do you like Go that much?Ah Guang was puzzled.Go is obviously just something for the elderly to pass the time. How could this person be so enthusiastic about it?

Yes ~

Maybe he really loves Go, so when this topic is mentioned, his voice is obviously much softer.

Oh...that's it... Ah Guang responded, while silently sorting out his thoughts in his heart:

First of all, he emerged from the chessboard, which is the same as the dream.

Second, his name was the same as in the dream.Not only that, but he also plays Go.

Then, in the end... he should really disappear...

Ah... Thinking about it this way, I feel a little lucky~ Fortunately, this wraith won't haunt me for a lifetime.

Although I sympathize with him very much, it has nothing to do with me anyway.It would be bad enough to be haunted by a resentful spirit for a lifetime.

Besides, Go is something that only the elderly would use to pass the time.I really have no interest in Go at all.

But, having said that, why was the self in the dream so sad after he disappeared?

I really don't understand...

By the way, he is a vengeful spirit after all, if he doesn't agree to his request, will he be killed? !Thinking of this, Ah Guang couldn't help shivering.

How about...how about discussing with him to see if there is any compromise solution?

That... Zuowei?Ah Guang pondered for a while before speaking.

in.

To be honest, I have no interest in Go, and I also have my own life plan.but……

but?

After hearing what Ah Guang said before, Zuo Wei's expression suddenly became depressed.However, when he heard the word "but", he seemed to feel that there was room for manoeuvre, so he waited very intently for Ah Guang to continue talking.

But I will occasionally play chess.After all, you like playing chess so much... Ah Guang said with a smile on his face.

Eh?Hearing this, Zuo Wei couldn't help but widen his eyes.
