Cherish the time

Shinto's desperate cry failed to reach Sakui's consciousness.

At this very moment, he was devoting himself into the vast universe, feeling the overwhelming energy, and almost cut off contact with the outside world.

He didn't understand what this power meant, he was just attracted to it for no reason.

Once seen, there is no escape.

Shinto looked at Sawei's brilliant spirit body, and his heart was burning with anxiety.

He obviously felt that the connection between himself and Zuo Wei had become much weaker, and he even had the illusion that Zuo Wei was no longer by his side.

The pulsating ripples on Zuo Wei's body and the gradually blurred sidelines are further evidence of his extremely ominous premonition.

"Damn it!Zoe! - stop! 』He shouted anxiously, hoping that his own strength could help him overcome this huge unknown crisis.

But the other party did not respond.

Zuowei was also "looking" at everything he could see.

After the initial shock, an instinct that seemed to be engraved in the soul gradually awakened and further guided his thoughts.

He settled down and began to feel the strange power contained in this amazing beauty.

The next moment, the originally static starry sky slowly moved.

Shinto didn't know what Sawei was going through.

He just insisted on calling Zuowei's name, and continued to pay attention to the condition of Zuowei's spirit body.

He wasn't sure if it would work, but he had an inexplicable hunch that as long as he could wake Zoe out of the damn situation, there wouldn't be a problem.

Shinto even wondered if he was crazy - he never thought that he would be willing to leave Sao in such a dangerous situation because of an inexplicable intuition.

This hand stopped for a long time.

After a long time, people in the broadcast room began to discuss in whispers.

"...I realized that I really don't understand Hikari Shinto." Ashihara said in a low tone, "I've been thinking about it for so long in such a place... What the hell is he thinking about?"

"I don't understand either." Kurata frowned and sighed, then turned to Taya and asked, "What the hell is this guy doing?"

Taya also frowned slightly, and said uncertainly, "...Maybe he is in trouble."

"Impossible, this guy Ogata has not reached this level yet." Kurata categorically denied this guess.

As a junior, Ashihara silently mourned for Ogata in his heart for a while.

"...Then what is he waiting for?" Wada whispered unconsciously and asked everyone's common question.

Shinto Hikaru is waiting for Fujiwara Sakai.

Wait for Zuo Wei's consciousness to return from an unknown place to continue the game.

The long wait had already made him anxious, and the sense of certainty brought about by the unknown intuition gradually dissipated, replaced by uncontrollable worries.

He had never felt so powerless over the fact that Zoe was a ghost.

——Is he going to watch Zuowei disappear like this? !

The moment this idea appeared in his mind, Zuo Wei's figure suddenly blurred!

Seeing this scene, Shindo panicked all of a sudden, and he didn't care about the match with Ogata, and immediately made a plan to throw in the towel.

"Zoe!I have to throw in the towel! 』He gave a hopeless announcement, and opened his mouth to surrender.

Unexpectedly, before the first syllable was uttered, Zuowei's reply was heard miraculously.

"What are you doing!Xiaoguang! ” Zuowei sounded very angry, “Why did you suddenly say you want to admit defeat! ? 』

Finally heard the response from Zuowei, and confirmed the clarity of Zuowei's current body, the big rock that had been hanging in Shinto's heart finally fell to the ground.

His nerves were so tense before that he didn't pay attention to his condition at all, but now he relaxed, and then he realized that his whole body was a little weak, and the clothes on his vest were completely soaked with sweat. "...You're fine. 』

"What's wrong? Hearing that his tone was wrong, Zuo Wei slowed down his tone and asked, "What happened to me?" 』

"...Let's go back and talk about it. Shinto shook his head lightly, indicating that this is not a place to talk, "After thinking for so long, I should have figured out where the next move will fall." 』

Zuowei smiled slightly, "That's...of course!" 』

Then he waved his finger and moved his lips slightly——

"Nine out of 5!cut off! 』

One son decides the universe.

This move directly slashed Ogata's dragon, and gave Heizi more room to attack Baizi.

Shinto firmly grasped this opportunity, and then attacked all the way.

Ogata struggled to support ten or so hands. Seeing that the general situation was over and the victory was hopeless, he simply surrendered.

This level of chess in this game has already surpassed Ogata's level, and it was a very outstanding extraordinary performance.

Normally, Ogata would still be satisfied with his progress, but now, he is only annoyed and dissatisfied with himself who has exerted [-] points of his strength but still cannot defeat Shinto Hikari.

And a little bit...not reconciled.

Such a mixture of emotions was very complicated, so complicated that he felt his stomach throbbing slightly because of it.

Fortunately, his reason and self-control are still alive, enough for him to maintain his usual gentlemanly demeanor, and he also took the initiative to ask Shindo if he wanted to review the chess game.

Shinto was concerned about Zuo Wei's situation, so he rarely refused his invitation.

Seeing that he didn't go, and seeing that he had no reason to go, Ogata simply left the Youxuan Room with him.

After Shinto and Ogata went down to the hall, they both immediately saw Toya Ryo who was leaning against the wall and wondering what he was thinking.

As if aware of the line of sight from this direction, the green-haired boy looked back very naturally.

Shinto's gaze met his gaze, and the twinkling and hesitant eyes of the other party made Shinto's heart tremble.

——He has never... seen such a look from Xiao Liang.

Shinto took a deep breath, and was mentally prepared to be interrogated as soon as he came up—even though he didn't know which part of the boy's reverse scale he had encountered.

But when Shinto and the others approached, the boy just casually asked some parts of the first half of the game that could not be seen through the game record at a glance, without any intention of asking.

This strange behavior made Shindo smell the calm before the storm.

Fortunately, this process did not last too long.

As soon as he left the gate of the chess academy, Ogata got into his car and left.

That left only two people, Shinto and Taya.

After a moment of silence.

"What do you want to ask?" Shinto shrugged, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and asked very simply.

Taya paused for a moment, then said, "The chess game just now... wasn't played by you, right?"
