Cherish the time

After a preliminary test, Hikari Shindo launched an offensive without reservation.

He deeply understands that now is not the time to swallow the guiding chess gently, as long as Taya catches an opportunity, he will follow closely, biting his chess pieces to death, there is no room for him to use them.

He was indeed looking forward to Taya's growth, and he was unwilling to hit him easily, but when it was time to make a move...he never hesitated.

Shinto's fierce offensive obviously put a lot of pressure on Taya, his thinking time was obviously longer, and the speed of making moves was obviously slower.

But Shinto seemed to think he was not fast enough, whenever he made a move, he quickly followed him.

That posture seems to be playing a ten-second move, no, it can even be said to be a one-second fast chess move.

But the move is extremely precise and deadly, and it is obvious that the conclusion can only be reached after careful consideration. Compared with his extremely fast move speed, the eyes of the onlookers are not willing to blink.

——If someone still has the leisure to move their eyes away from the chessboard at this time, and observe Shinto's face, they will find that he is glaring now, the corners of his eyes are red, and he has a very unnatural appearance of bitterness and hatred.

Shinto's current situation is different from before.

The few times before, his brain would first perform a huge calculation on the chess game in front of him, and then choose the best one from the countless calculated moves.

He is like a computer, after exhaustively enumerating all the possibilities, he will make an optimal choice.

But this time, he didn't seem to think about anything, but was watching.

He can see the white light spots that do not exist on the chessboard, some are solid and eye-catching, some are sparse and not eye-catching, and all he does is to place chess pieces on the most dazzling point That's all.

Without thinking, without calculating, he just knew—

That is, the best place to settle!

With Shinto earnestly adding to the attack, Taya Ryo's speed of falling was getting slower and slower.

During this process, he felt that he had found an opportunity to tear the gap countless times, but was repeatedly proved by Shinto's actions to be wrong in his thinking.

He also wanted to counterattack countless times, reverse the situation, and switch offense and defense, but in the end he could only retreat regretfully, accumulate strength, and wait for the next attack.

So gradually, Taya realized that... he had been cornered.

Many emotions surged in his heart at once.

It seems unwilling, clear, resentful... and it seems to be nothing.

He squeezed the white ball with his hands, and sat quietly with his eyes down.

I saw that the situation of the black pieces on the chessboard is very good, although the white pieces still have vitality, but they can already see that they are dying.

This is... time to throw in the towel.

Ta Yaliang knew it himself, as if there was something lying in his heart and throat, he was not at all willing to say the three words "I lost".

It is this mentality that forces him to continue playing chess...

But... it's really time to admit defeat.

He gently put back the chess stone that he had pinched slightly warm, and with his right hand fingers digging at the edge of the chess box, he lowered his head.

——The progress and various praises received during this period are like a joke at this time.

"I lost."

——He never felt that it was such a bitter thing to say these three words.

Bitter to the throat, bitter to the bottom of the heart, so bitter that the whole body is so limp that I can't get a little bit of motivation, I just keep questioning myself.

——Why, you will lose.

——Why, is it so weak.

——Why, are you so upset.

——Why...why do you want to cry...?

A warm drop of water slid across his face and landed on the back of his left hand, which was placed on his knee.

Accompanied by the bitterness that spread all over his body, it became a memory that he could engrave his whole life.

Although Taya didn't look up, Shinto still noticed something strange about Taya.

He was a little guilty and annoyed, but more, it was an indescribable complex emotion.

During this period of time, every time he played against Xiao Liang, he secretly controlled his own strength, just trying to give Taya the illusion that he had made great progress and had a faint tendency to surpass himself.

The purpose is to be able to hit him with a single blow today, and use his strength to severely dampen his spirit.

The reasons that forced him to make this decision are complex.

On the one hand, it was out of a desire to protect Taya.

Just because he always felt that Taya was unrivaled among his peers, he had a kind of self-confidence deeply implanted in his nature. This kind of self-confidence is reflected in every aspect of his relationship with others, although no one will care about him now. But one day it will definitely stumble because of this.

In his previous life, Toya Ryo annoyed an official of the Ministry of Culture because of his superior arrogance, and made the entire Nihon Ki-in have a relatively difficult time. After that, he learned to restrain himself—at that time, he was only two years old. In his teens, he already holds a tenth-rank title and has enough capital to be proud of, but he still can't stand up to the undisguised malice of some villains.

On the other hand, starting from his own mood, he also didn't want to see other people face Taya Ryo's arrogant attitude that was enough to freeze people's hearts.

——If it wasn’t for the obsession in his heart and the inexplicable self-confidence in his heart, he would have been completely hit by Taya’s deliberate ignorance and underestimation——not being seen by the opponent he identified In my eyes, this is such a powerless and frustrating fact.

…Before me, how many children like Kaga finally chose to give up Go because of their encounter with Taya?

Hikari Shindo didn't know.

But just Kaga alone was enough to make him feel sorry.

He knew that he shouldn't demand such things from Taya, and even if there were really a dozen teenagers who gave up Go because of this, it would definitely not be worth the significance of each Taya to the entire Go world.

In addition, it is also mixed with the regret of Taya Ryo who has gone away from him.

In his previous life, after he seriously confessed Zuowei's existence to the other party, Taya Ryo said seriously, I'm sorry.

Shinto believes that Ryo Taya did nothing wrong from the beginning to the end. Although his attitude is a bit uncomfortable, he is responsible for his own fault, and he can't blame Taya - but this does not prevent him from complaining about it .

But from Taya's apology, he clearly understood a fact: this person, in a place he couldn't see, had struggled and distressed for his own self-esteem that he couldn't let go of.

These complex thoughts are entangled, making him question whether he should not meddle in his own business and move this tempering knife, and at the same time feel that he is doing the right thing for Xiao Liang's good....

But at this moment, no matter how much he thought about it, it was meaningless. He rubbed his red eyes and said, "Thank you for your advice."

"Thank you for your advice." Taya on the opposite side replied very calmly, raised his head, and if he didn't observe carefully, no one would know that he had shed tears.
