Chapter Seventy-Three · Fast forward to the filial piety of the teacher
The door to the warehouse was opened, and the crew walked into the room full of life-saving equipment, and rows of hovercraft were ready to go at any time.
"Is this all the lifeboats?" Ke Zhiguang asked.
"Of course not, there are more, according to international standards, the life-saving capacity of a cruise ship must meet the upper limit of the number of people carried by this yacht, and some even exceed, the capacity of this ship is as high as 4,000 people, and there are a total of 2,000 people on board this time, the equipment in front of you is absolutely enough, an accident like the Titanic will never happen, and even if it happens, we can get out of the way." The crew is very confident.
Not...... This person is really not afraid of death, he simply planted a flag and flew up.
A long time ago, the safety requirements of cruise ships were only to save 1/3 of the crew, but later people found this standard to be ridiculously stupid, so they changed it to 70%.
The result is still outrageous.
Later, people realized that 100% was the minimum passing mark.
Kojiguang slowly patrolled the storage room, sweeping the darkness with the sagacity of a detective.
From the first moment he boarded the ship, he was looking for possible dangers.
I thought that this place should be full of underworld props as a lair of evil dragons, but it turned out that it was unexpectedly clean and tidy, and there was no discomfort.
It's like an empty city, unguarded.
"Are there any secret rooms here?"
"This ...... How could this ship have such a thing....." the crew said helplessly, "and even if there is, I don't know." ”
The reason why I asked about the secret room was because Kojimitsu always remembered the existence of that video store.
Before abandoning there, Koshikawa Ryu had already carried a van full of netherworld props, which were undoubtedly transferred to this place.
They're hiding somewhere on this ship.
I don't know how it will appear.
If you don't understand it, it's always a depth charge.
"I see, thank you for your guidance."
After finishing his conversation with the crew, Kojimitsu returned to the deck.
It's six o'clock in the afternoon, and the sea has turned into an orange basket as the sun sets, and the sea level is like a burning sapphire.
It's already the beginning of June, and many people have the impression that the days are long and dark in summer, but as the northern hemisphere, the latitude is all the way south, and the days are shorter as the temperature rises.
Just as the theme of the battle is a family atmosphere, the dragon battle has always had a tradition of traveling, and the chess players can enjoy the scenery of various places while playing chess battles, purify their souls, and improve their realm.
During this journey, players were also able to bring their families along, such as the main Ryugu, where many players brought their families aboard, and there were a bunch of children playing on the slides in the pool area.
No one would have thought that there was a turbulent crisis hidden beneath such a seemingly calm surface.
"What do you think?" Ke Zhiguang turned to his side, even though there was no one around.
It's really no one.
It didn't follow the boat.
On the day he got on the ship, Ke Zhiguang vaguely heard a voice whispering "Have a good trip" in his ear, and when he reacted, the ship was already offshore.
There seems to be a girl in the shape of light particles waving a handkerchief in the harbor.
It's like the card that burst out before, [I can't go with you to that place].
In the past few days, Ke Zhiguang really couldn't feel its existence, and could only feel it squatting at home.
Ke Zhiguang always had a feeling that maybe the phone function given by the treasure map was to call it.
"Hey, we're done." Harushima deer beckoned from afar, her skirt and ponytail were lifted by the sea breeze, and seagulls flew behind her.
She was wearing a one-piece sailor skirt with a white beret, which was quite ahead of her time.
Not...... Sure enough, no matter how you look at it, they are all here for a travel vacation.
"Oh, hard work, hard work."
"Hehe, judging by your reaction, you probably don't even know who we're fighting, right?"
"How is that possible, you guys fighting...... Beat...... Anyway, it's right to score 12 points. Ke Zhiguang said.
"Yes, although Soma Yajiang is very powerful, she is not my opponent at all." Harushima deer proudly flipped his arms, "Okay, you quickly answer, who are we fighting today, if you can't answer, you can jump from here for me now." ”
"Shunji Narita their team."
Nonsense, you've all reported Soma's name, really I don't know the composition of my family and friend group?
"Uh..... You actually pay attention to your teammates' games. Harushima Deer was about to praise the other party, but instantly realized that he had missed his last sentence, and the corners of his mouth instantly pursed again.
Sure enough, the dialogue can't play Xingcai, and you can't play her?
"Don't talk about that, what about the rest of our three teammates?" Ke Zhiguang looked around.
He was dragged to dinner by the teacher, and the two sisters went to the mall...... Hmph, a country witch is a country witch, and when she comes to the outside world, she can't help but want to watch more. Harushima raised her arms in a privileged manner, as if a small shining star was shaking out of her eyelashes, and there was a ding.
Not...... One thing to say, people's senses have always been connected to Xingcai, at least the experience of a high school student, and the aesthetic level should be higher than that of you......
"So when are you going to eat?" Harushima Deer looked at Kojimitsu and said.
There is a feeling that if she doesn't take her to eat, she doesn't know how to eat it.
"Now then."
So the two of them casually found a cafeteria and sat down.
On the sea at night, the Ryugu floats like a fortress on the sea, the bright lights attract the probes of the fish, and the stern of the ship swims like whale-like ripples.
A cluster of fireworks bloomed outside the window, and the brilliant light flowed like red wine to the four corners of the night sky.
Every night, there will be such a program on this ship, after all, as a cruise ship carrying 2,000 people, it is too boring to hold chess battles so boringly.
After the moonlight became more intense, the dolphins leaped out of the water not far away.
It was the safest night on board.
.......
......
The second race day arrived, and there was one less lap of people who qualified to step into the field.
The camera follows behind the player, playing the door to the game room in an over-the-shoulder view.
Yingmei looked at today's opponent and was stunned.
Her teacher, Mugu Shengnoka.
Her team was just right for the nine-dan group today.
"Hello teacher." Yingmei lowered her head stiffly, and cold sweat flowed wildly.
The fear of being dominated while learning chess came to my heart.
"Yingmei, you are still the same, as soon as you pair me, you will be nervous." The Empress took off the wedding ring from her finger and set it aside.
It means that when she starts the game, she is no longer a Japanese wife who is obedient to her husband, but a female general who focuses on chessboard fighting.
The chess pieces fell like ice, and the killing machines spread all over the cruise ship.
On the other side, Xiong Sakura faced the Harushima deer.
Xiong Ying shuddered.
"Roar, so you've had a day when you were scared and shivering just by sitting across from me?" Harushima asked, propping her cheeks and swinging her calves.
"No, the deterrent doesn't come from you, it's from the game room next door...... It's Takami's side. Xiong Ying's eyes widened with fear, "She's playing against Mugu-sensei!" ”
"Why can you sense the game on Eagle Beauty's side! No matter how much you have a heart, there must be a limit! ”
"No matter, Yingmei's side is already dead, I have to pass your level to survive one more round than her!"
As a result, the two of them were eliminated in the same round, and they continued to maintain a confrontation situation where no one could overpower the other.
Ko Zhiguang's day is still to wander around during the day, and only in the evening does he return to his room to keep his hand on the chessboard.
The upper floors of the cabin, the activity room of the main team of the Dragons.
All entertainment props except the chessboard were removed, compared to the pool table.
Inoue Shomen was sitting behind the chess table, playing carefully.
The content of the chess game comes from Xingcai, which happens to be the game of these two days.
"Mr. Inoue, when you suddenly started playing your daughter's chess game, do you think she really has the strength to challenge you, so you can prepare in advance?" Nishichiaki came in through the door.
"Yes, I've come to believe what Mr. Ryuza said, and in the end, it wasn't the Kudan team that stood in front of us, but the team of Kojimitsu." Inoue said.
"Why?" Nishichiaki asked with a smile.
Inoue shook his head: "It's just a premonition, a particularly deep premonition." ”
Nishichiaki smiled disapprehantly, but he could only admit: "Well, although I don't believe that they can pass the iron wall of the nine-dan group, I really have this premonition." ”
"It's because the boss has been talking about this and invisibly imposing psychological hints on us, so we have this premonition, right?" Shizuru Engami said.
"That's true, maybe you can use the sentence 'This is the role of fortune', right?"
"By the way, Ke Zhiguang has been wandering around the ship for the past few days, as if he is looking for something, have any of you understood?" Fuchigami asked.
"Stop, stop, Miss Yue, why did you know that he had been hanging out on the boat?" Nishichiaki has a feeling of being impressed by Ke Zhiguang.
"Every once in a while, you can see him wandering around, and he also made a point to check if there are enough rescue equipment in the warehouse...... This is what the staff told me. ”
"Rescue equipment? Did he think the ship would sink? Nishichiaki sneered.
"I also think it will, from the first time I saw the boss, I thought he might be the one who pushed this cruise ship into the abyss." Yuanshang said as he flipped through the book.
"You think it's going to sink, so why are you still coming up?"
"The boss paid a high enough salary, and ...... I always felt that even if I sank, I wouldn't necessarily die. Fuchigami replied.
This was an unexpected answer, and Nishichiaki thought about it for a while before he realized that it did make sense.
Premonitions are amazing things, especially for chess players, like revelations from the future.
He also felt that his life was quite hard, and there should be no problems.
"So after all, what is Ke Zhiguang looking for?" Shizuryu Fuchigami brought the topic back to square one.
"I don't know, but I've heard that the boss once owned a lot of strange hoodoos and brought them to this ship from the shore, maybe they were the target of Ke Zhiguang, find it and destroy it?"
"Oh? That's really right, I want to support him. Shizuryu Engami spoke disapprerovingly, turning his fingers over the book, "Having said that, there is one thing I don't quite understand, why our boss, a person with such a desire to perform, didn't give a speech in front of everyone with emotion twice, but never went down this floor since the day he set sail, like a normal person." ”
"He told me about this, and he said he didn't want to meet Ke Zhiguang for the time being." Nishichiaki explained.
"And the reason?"
"Probably the king doesn't see the king, I hope that the moment we meet is the moment when the winner is decided, is that what it means?" Nishichiaki shrugged.
"It's quite ceremonial." Shizuru Engami nodded.
The subordinates were talking about it in the room on this floor, and Tatsumi Koshikawa heard it clearly in the next room.
There were no lights on in the room, only moonlight and sea level, and red wine.
There was also a classical record that swirled around and the humming of his eyes closed.
"After all this time, you are still the same, not the same at all." Koshikawa Ryuji said suddenly, but there was no one to speak to.
"Now that I've brought everything I need to bring, it's time for you to meet me, right?"
As he spoke, his palm rested on a wooden box on the table.
It's the same model as the box on the wall of the cabinet when he was in the video store.
It also contained an item from the underworld.
He grabbed the wooden box and threw it to the surface.
There was a plop and a splash.
The sea began to become uncalm, and the moonlight passed away as if it had collapsed.
......
......
In two-day increments, the race slowly moved forward, and the fierce fighting spirit burned all the way to the depths of the Pacific Ocean along with the trajectory of the voyage, and the sea seemed to be boiling.
The sixth round is just around the corner.
The two sides of the game, the Kojiko group, the battle, and the Saito arithmetic group.
It's finally time for all the people to look forward to it, but it's time for it to be right.
Under this special format, as long as the deputy wins this game, the remaining three games can be directly advanced by winning one game, and the side with a strong female chess player is destined to go to the end.
In the room facing the sea, Ko Zhiguang packed up his outfits and armed himself to perfection.
The mood was unexpectedly calm, and I had long thought that this day would come.
The only fly in the ointment may be the weather, which has become a rainy day again, and the heat and dryness of the low latitudes are overwhelming.
In another room, Saito is also cleaning his clothes in front of the mirror.
In the past, when he went on the expedition, he would have a virtuous wife by his side to take care of everything, but now he has to rely on himself.
Dressed in a taupe suit and trench coat, he looked like a capable criminal policeman, and an old scarf went around his neck.
Finally, there is the folding fan.
Ke Zhiguang's chess saint on this side.
Saito's ..... Wind Volcanic Forest!
At the same time scale, the two of them lifted their spirits, stepped out of the door with one foot, and rolled up the hurricane-like coercion!
"Ke Zhiguang!"
"Saito-sensei!"
Both of them smiled like a demonic smile.
