[Soul of Chess] Xia Lei

On the side of Shinto Hikari, he was full of worries and sorrows, but on the other side, Toya Ryo's thoughts had already drifted away.

His ability has improved again.

Since this morning, he has had a vague premonition that Shindo will say something to him today.And after meeting Shindo at the Kiin, the premonition became even stronger.

Something must have happened to Jin Teng's house, but it shouldn't be a big deal, because he didn't have the feeling that a catastrophe was imminent.However, there was some bleak aura about him, it seemed that someone in his family was about to travel far away.

Sure enough, Shindo Hikaru's parents will be away for two months.

Thinking of this, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

What a useful ability.

Being able to exorcise ghosts and spirits, see the soul of people and predict some things, what ability will he have in the future?

A trace of inexplicable feeling filled my heart.

It's really... both exciting and terrifying.

No one will get something for no reason, Ta Yaliang has always believed in this truth.In Go, he believes that hard work is far more important than talent, and in this matter, he also believes that obtaining these abilities will also pay a corresponding price.

It's just that these abilities are not what he wants. If God wants to charge a price, isn't it too much?

Every time he wakes up from that dream of heavy snow, Taya always falls into a period of silence.

He is only 17 years old.

Maybe he was a little surprised at the beginning, but as time passed, those surprises gradually turned into a kind of bewilderment and fear of the unknown.

What is waiting for him ahead?Is it an evil spirit, or the broad road of Onmyoji?Or die as tragically as the protagonist of that novel?

The phone has opened the communication interface, and the finger has been placed on the father's number, but after a pause for a few seconds, the interface is still closed.

Father managed to get out of the heavy chess game and halo, and played chess with a little joy in the company of his mother, so he couldn't let him worry about himself anymore.

What's more, my father's heart disease has not been completely cured...

No, let the family worry about themselves.

Because of Taya Ryo's unexpected hospitality, Shinto Hikari was a little nervous, and the two-month stay was decided in just a few words.When I went home and told Mitsuko, I heard that the host was the Taya-kun who had been to the house before, and Mitsuko's gloomy face immediately turned cloudy. "Ala, since I'm going to live with Taya-kun, I don't have to worry about it. The child looks like someone who can take care of himself. Xiaoguang, you should learn a lot from him, and don't bother him all the time."

After the chattering, Shinto Hikari immediately raised his hands and surrendered, and began to talk about Shinto Masao's business trip to divert Mitsuko's attention.As soon as she mentioned her husband's prospects for promotion this time, Mitsuko immediately turned her attention, and she stopped talking about Shinto Mitsu.

Shindo Masao officially went on a business trip a week later, Mitsuko also went to Kyoto to take care of his seriously ill mother a few days later, and Shinto Hikari was solemnly entrusted to Toya Ryo by Mitsuko before leaving. "This child has always had a lot of things to do, and I will ask Taya-kun to take care of her for the next two months."

Ta Yaliang bowed slightly: "Madam, you are very polite. Shinto and I are good friends. It is not troublesome. I am alone at home on weekdays. I am very happy that he can come to live."

Mitsuko was very pleased with what she said: "Oh, it would be great if we Xiaoguang could be as sensible as Taya-kun. Well, Auntie will not bother you. Xiaoguang, the two months at Taya-kun's house Be honest with me and don't make any trouble."

"Mom, how many times have I told you that I still don't have enough time to play chess, how can I have time to go out and play like crazy? You always think I'm still me before the sixth grade? Okay, okay, let's go, don't be late You can't catch the train."

After watching Mitsuko leave in a taxi, Hikari Shindo put down his luggage and made an "Oh Ye" gesture to the sky. "Yeah! My independent life starts now!"

"Independence?" Someone from behind asked in a cool tone, "Didn't you stay at my house?"

"..."

Facing Shinto Hikaru's expression of "You don't understand why Yaxing interrupted me", Taya smiled and said, "Okay, stop joking. Come in, I'll take you to see you s room."

"Guest room?"

"Where else do you want to live?"

"Of course it's your room." Hikari Shinto took out the suitcase with one hand and took out his mobile phone to check Twitter, and said casually: "Anyway, I used to sleep in the same room with you before, and I can come to play chess if I can't sleep. one time."

"Yeah, I couldn't fall asleep even more during the sparring. I just played a game on the chessboard. As a result, no one slept well the next day."

"..." Shindo Hikaru had nothing to say for the second time.

That being said, Taya Ryo finally made a bed in his room.My father likes the traditional Japanese style. Except his room has a bed, the parents' room including the guest room are all tatami-style beds.Judging from the experience of the previous few stays, he is quite used to tatami, and he can probably get by without sleeping in bed for two months.

However, there is another important reason for Shinto Hikaru to sleep with himself in the same room, that is, he does not want to see only a deserted room when he wakes up in the middle of the night, he is the only one in the huge house, and occasionally the wind blows The rustling of leaves.

It was a gnawing loneliness.

With this person around, I should feel a lot more at ease.

Shinto Hikaru and Toya Ryo said they were friends, but when they got together they mostly talked about chess games and competed with each other, and seldom had fun together.It was the same today, it was not a short time for Shinto Hikari to stay overnight, so Taya Ryo didn't introduce anything, and directly dragged Shinto Hikari to the chess room to play a game first.

After the two finished playing, they saw that the time had already been replayed, but they started arguing after the replay. The two quarreled from today's game to the Honinbo round-robin match a few days ago, and started a new round of replay. plate.When both of them were out of breath from the quarrel, Shinto Hikari accidentally glanced at the mobile phone screen, only to realize that it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

Only convenience stores and supermarkets will not be closed at this time.In order to properly express a little celebration for the arrival of the new roommate, Ryo Ta Ya rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen to cook a dinner himself.

For Mr. Taya's rare display of skills, Shinto Hikari seemed extremely looking forward to it, and when a piece of steamed fish with chopsticks entered his mouth, his expression became a little subtle.

"... Good..." A light taste.

Speaking of it, it's not a temporary thing that Taya-sensei has a bad heart, and the diet should be light.But the problem is that Shindo Hikari usually eats ramen, or barbecue and other heavy-tasting things. In his opinion, these bland foods are tasteless.

Thinking that this is also Taya's intention, he used to order takeaway, and it was his own fault that he didn't explain his preferred taste in advance. When Shinto Hikari was about to eat up all these meals silently, Taya looked up to him.

"The smell is very weak."

"Ah? No, no, no," he quickly shook his chopsticks, "It's just right, it's delicious."

"You don't have to lie." Ta Yaliang calmly put down his chopsticks, "There is only a little salt left in the kitchen, so this meal is very light. Actually, I can't eat it, it's too light."

"..."

Shinto Hikari nearly broke his chopsticks.

Taya Ryo!Can you be any more jerk!

In the end, Shinto Koto got up angrily and ransacked the box to find two packs of instant noodles, which were left when he came here to stay overnight. He cooked two bowls of noodles and came out.

After finishing the instant noodles, there was still a little soup left in the bowl. Shinto Hikari saw that there was still a lot left in Taya Ryo's bowl, and knew that he would not drink the soup base of this kind of instant food garbage, so he took it and poured it on the rice together. After mixing it with chopsticks, I couldn't wait to take a big bite, and then spit it all out.

It's unpalatable!

Taya Ryo frowned, picked up his own dinner and went to the kitchen. "Clean the dining table yourself." Cleanly changed from host style to roommate mode.

Jin Tengguang patted his chopsticks: "Wipe it, don't think I can't clean it if I haven't done it at home!"

Ta Yaliang staggered, his figure seemed a little unstable.

Like the one who stayed overnight, Shinto Hikari was called to the chess room by Ryo Taya after cleaning the table, and began to prepare for the upcoming LG Cup domestic final qualifier.First, I played a game of rapid chess to cultivate my sense of chess, and then played a replay, and the hour hand has passed the ten o'clock mark.

After eleven o'clock, the activities of those wandering things will become more frequent. Although the whole house has been covered with a spirit-eliminating barrier by Ryo Taya, his physique is becoming more and more sensitive to those things, so he still urges Shinto Hikari to wash up early , By 10:30, both of them were already lying on the bed.

Shinto Hikari tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. He played music until at least eleven o'clock on weekdays, and he was so energetic that he couldn't fall asleep even if he went to bed so early.He wanted to play blindfold chess with Ta Yaliang, and he had been mocked about it beforehand.I just turned over and over like this, and I still haven't felt sleepy at all in the past 10 minutes.

He sneaked a look at Ta Yaliang, the light was not turned on in the room, and in the darkness he could only hear the other person's slow breathing, and he called Ta Ya lightly, but there was no response, it seemed that he was asleep.

He immediately turned over gently, pulled up the quilt, and took out his mobile phone to check Twitter under the quilt.

Don't look at that guy Ryo Taya, everything is the latest model, and his mobile phone is also a new limited edition. He hates these time-wasting apps and websites.Usually Shindo Hikaru would stare at him for more than 3 minutes after taking out his mobile phone, and supplemented it with a cold tone of "don't waste time on this kind of thing".Now that I finally have time, I don’t want to hurry up and scan it. If nothing else, I will scan the dynamics of his friends from the Chinese and Korean Chess Academy, and save all the chess records that look better on the phone.

After swiping a few pages, the chess records on the animation gradually turned into dancing patterns, and sleepiness gradually came to my head.When scrolling to the fifth page, Shindo Hikaru slowly put down the phone, curled up and fell into a dream.
