Leader Zai Fengping was killed

The chess game between Fyodor-kun and me started a long time ago.It has nothing to do with the date that hasn't been set yet, it started a long time ago.

Wait until the agreed time, and then start the game with only each other, and continue to finish the game with the existing chess game on the board.

The confrontation after the start of the two-person world is of course important, but before that, it is also important to prepare a chess game that is beneficial to one's own side.

The more initiative left in the layout, the better.If the confrontation between me and Fyodor-kun is like a race, it is to arrange as many traps as possible on Fyodor-kun's track.

It is already foreseeable that there will be many traps waiting for me in front of me. Under such a premise, of course, I must set up as many traps as possible for the other party, so that I can barely feel at ease, right?

I don't know what Feodor-kun thinks, but as far as I am concerned, I wish that there is a trap at every step on the track of Fyodor-kun!Even if you know there is a trap there, you can't avoid the denseness that you have to step on...

Well, it's just a beautiful imagination, and it can't be done in reality.

If the opponent is Fyodor-kun, most of the traps will be solved!But then again, the time it takes to "solve the trap" is of course included in the calculation.

While we keep moving forward, we also need to add obstacles to our opponents—although our game has not been "announced" to start, it is actually already in a state of "in progress".The difference is only in being able to take advantage of others before the game is officially announced.

For example, Nikolai who is beside us at this time.

If you want to compare who is more important in Nikolai's heart, Mr. Fyodor or I, the answer to this question is as clear as black writing on white paper.I am very self-aware that it must be Fyodor-kun.As far as humans are concerned, Mr. Fyodor may be the most important one to Nikolai.

But if you want to compare Mr. Fyodor and "freedom" who is more important in Nikolai's heart, there is no doubt that the answer is clearer than simple black and white, I am afraid that it is written in super large and particularly thick handwriting on white paper. The kind written above - freedom, of course freedom.

This gave me an opportunity.I don't need to compare who is more important with Mr. Fyodor. I just need to put Mr. Fyodor and "freedom" on both ends of the balance, and Nikolai will naturally make the choice I want.

Just like the question just now.

If Fyodor-kun answered "I have the initiative"——if you really answered like that, first of all, I would like to praise Fyodor-kun for his honesty.Then I can secretly communicate with Nikolai and communicate privately. It is necessary to make Nikolai feel that he is restricted and arouse Nikolai's "unfreedom PTSD".

It is not difficult to achieve this goal.After all, just being friends has already made Nikolai feel "unfree".Not to mention, in this "friend relationship", he is not the one who has the upper hand.

Ok?

"Isn't it because of your talk that Gogol feels unfree because of his friendship?"

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I don't have the ability to make Nikolai feel bound by the existence of "friends" out of thin air with just a few words.At most, I was just out of kindness to help Nikolai understand his own heart.

Yes, if Nikolai never had the doubt in his heart that "whether my friends will bind me and make me lose my freedom", no matter what I say, it will be useless.

For example, let’s take Zhongye as an example—even if someone speaks all kinds of words against Zhongye, and instills in him the idea that "making friends is equivalent to being bound", Zhongye will only act as if he heard some joke , will definitely not agree with it.

In short, once Mr. Fyodor truthfully answers "I have the initiative", I can push a lot of progress for "Nikolai backstabs Mr. Fyodor".And if Mr. Fyodor, out of the idea of ​​maintaining his relationship with Nikolai, pretends that the initiative is in Nikolai's hands in order to stabilize Nikolai...

This is a lie that can be easily debunked.Because in fact, Mr. Fyodor has always been influencing Nikolai.To put it to the extreme, Nikolai has been dancing to the rhythm of Mr. Fyodor.

Regardless of whether Mr. Fyodor will tell such a lie that can be easily broken, even if he really said so, I can also secretly communicate with Nikolai, communicate privately, and use various facts to tell Nikolai. Proof, "Fyodor-kun is a liar! He is the one who has the upper hand in your relationship!"

As for why Mr. Fyodor lied, the answer is naturally coming out.

It is precisely because Mr. Feodor's subsequent plans still need to use Nikolai, and Mr. Feodor himself knows that Nikolai, who longs for freedom, will definitely want to break free after learning that he is bound.Therefore, in order to better control Nikolai, Mr. Fyodor chose to deceive with lies.

The so-called "different routes lead to the same goal", this answer will also eventually end with the "not free PTSD" that aroused Nikolai.Lies told for the sake of taking advantage are even more dangerous than honest admissions.

Could Fyodor-kun have guessed this?If I have already guessed about the follow-up plan I may make, and realize this trap, what method will I use to avoid it?

If the situation is reversed, and I am the one who avoids such a conflict, I am afraid I will choose a compromise.

The initiative was neither in my hands nor in Nikolai's; it didn't matter which of the two of us had the upper hand, because we were evenly matched—the compromise.

Although in a sense, "compromise" can be regarded as a tricky way.But before the current conflict, this is already the best way to deal with it.

It's just, it's as if I've thought of the way—wouldn't Mr. Fyodor think that I've thought of the way?

Now that I know that I have already thought of this method, it is only natural to think that "maybe Zhikun has prepared countermeasures for this".

"The initiative lies with me" and "the initiative lies with him", the two answers I may respond to, are easily guessed by Fyodor-kun.However, the follow-up to the compromise answer is unknown.Out of concerns about this, will Mr. Fyodor do the opposite, give up the "compromise" and firmly choose the two ends of the known follow-up double-avoidance conflict?

I'm curious about Fyodor-kun's choice.At the same time, I noticed that Nikolai seemed to be very concerned about Fyodor-kun's answer, and his attention was completely on Fyodor-kun--it was clear that he had given half of it to me before.

Although I have thought a lot about it, including Mr. Fyodor's possible answer and the possible follow-up, in fact, time has not passed for a long time in reality.Or should I say, it was just a moment.

"Me and Nikolai?" Mr. Fyodor didn't think too long, and quickly began to answer this question—as if this question didn't require much thought at all, and it was just a casual answer in ordinary communication, "He Zhijun No, Nikolai and I have no disagreements for the time being. "Who has the upper hand" is out of the question for the time being. "

what.

I avoided it.

"The reason why there is a problem of who takes the initiative between me and Zhijun is because there is a contradiction in my relationship with Zhijun; on the contrary, Nikolai and I are very harmonious, so there is no such problem"?

Not only did I avoid the trap that I might provoke Nikolai's "not free PTSD", but I also used this to express my closeness to Nikolai, and even drew a distance from me with Nikolai... Wow, as expected of Fyodor-kun!

Completely—completely—beyond my expectations!

but……

Just look at Nikolai's expression.

I don't think Nikolai is satisfied with an answer that isn't an answer at all.

Mr. Fyodor's response did avoid the trap I set, but at the same time, it also avoided the question I just asked.

"Avoidance" itself represents an attitude, and it is still a very inquiring attitude.Starting from this problem, there are many things that can continue to be dug.

I don't even need my help, Nikolai will swing a hoe later and try his best to dig out the truth behind Mr. Fyodor's avoidance.

Will make such a choice, on the one hand, Mr. Fyodor may think that compared with the three roads I gave, it would be better to open a new one—even if it is not smooth; on the other hand, Fyodor Jun should be very confident that he can appease Nikolai in the future.

Could it be that this kind of confidence is because Mr. Fyodor and Nikolai are close enough and important enough to Nikolai?

But for people like Nikolai, the closer they are, the more dangerous they are, right?

A distance that is too close brings restraint, and a relationship that is too close makes one addicted.But Nicholas is such a person who yearns for freedom.Just like a bird soaring freely, whether it is a cage that binds itself or a swamp that drowns itself, it can only make one choice.

break free.

This choice has nothing to do with the cage or the swamp itself. No matter whether the environment is beautiful and warm or cruel and cold, the only destination it yearns for is the sky.

Unlike Asuka, Nikolai may not be able to touch the other end of freedom.However, this does not prevent him from getting rid of all "unfreedom".

Conversely, even I know that Nikolai will get rid of all "unfreedom", and Mr. Fyodor, who is closer to Nikolai and spends more time with him, will not know Nikolai better than I do.

I guess Mr. Fyodor probably felt that Nikolai's backlash that could be controlled appeared only after the duel between the two of us was over, otherwise he couldn't explain his choice.

In this way, what I have to do is to advance Nikolai's backlash.

Since I was impatient and wanted to ignite a flame that had not completely burned, I needed to add a little more fuel.

""Is there no disagreement yet"? "I subconsciously showed a chuckle, understanding the unfinished words of Mr. Fyodor, "That's right, after all, Nikolai did not make his own choice like me, and walked on a different path from Mr. Fyodor. What about the road. "

"The Dependent Who Makes No Self-Choice".

"Zhijun's statement is a little off. Nikolai just chose the same path as me." Mr. Fyodor corrected me with a smile, "It is possible that we will part ways in the future, just like Zhijun and I are now."

"A traveler of his own choice".

"Maybe there will be such a day." I nodded, and did not refute Mr. Feodor's words, "It's just that Mr. Feodor has already left before that day comes. This world—I mean, maybe in this duel between me and Fyodor-kun, Fyodor-kun failed?"

In that case, how will Nikolai, who was controlled all his life before Fyodor-kun was alive, break free from the shackles imposed on him by the dead Fyodor-kun?

As far as his almost pathological pursuit of "freedom" is concerned, there is only one way to "get rid of the shackles"-to physically resist and kill the person who restrained him with his own hands.However, once the "Binder" dies before then, Nikolai will never be able to shake off the shackles.

Did you realize it?This is the last chance, Nikolai.

Not at all, you will bet that Mr. Fyodor will win, right? Under the premise that the opponent is me, such a gamble is not reliable at all.
