Chapter Seventy-Eight · Pianist of the sea

In the dead of night, a piano plays in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows at the stern, the sea breeze penetrates the curtains, and an invisible force holds the notes and pours to the front and back of the cruise ship.

The person who plays in front of the piano is Tatsumi Koshikawa.

Ten slender fingers flutter on the keys, and the purple gown with bright red roses on its chest, combined with the moonlight of the evening tide, makes it seem like a vampire elegantly playing solo in his castle attic.

Although a long time ago, Kiyomara Raging also called himself a vampire, but compared to the scene in front of him, this person can only be regarded as a vampire at the gate of the vampire's castle, referred to as the doorman.

"What a Dracula, an imperial vampire." Nishichiaki whispered on the side, between admiration and shame.

In this attic room facing the sea, the five members of the Ryuza group were all there.

The other four sat on the sofa at the other end of the room, listening to the performance as if they were watching a stage play.

After Kojimitsu's victory over Saito, Koshikawa Ryuji has always been in such a state of selflessness and intoxication.

Nishichiaki can also understand that most people are optimistic about the promotion of the Kudan group, but Koshikawa Ryuji firmly believes that Kezhi Guang can stand in front of him from the beginning, and the training preparations of his own team are also carried out on this premise, and the chess game of the Kudan group is not even glanced at.

Betting against the prediction of the vast majority of people is right, of course, it is a great sense of accomplishment, and I can't help but let go of myself, especially for people like the boss who are extremely eager to perform.

Then a group of their teammates were invited to the unlit room to enjoy the moonlit solo.

"The boss is so versatile that people are jealous, and he plays the piano well." Yuanshang Jingliu sighed helplessly, as a double cultivator, the other side of the cultivation is the piano.

He ...... When did you learn to play the piano? Xuanyu Zhishang asked in surprise.

"Maybe it's just that moment, for the boss, it's more important than learning technology or something, maybe the emotions are in place, if one day he suddenly becomes fascinated by physics and aerospace, maybe he can make a Nobel Prize-level invention in the next second." Nishichiaki joked that in fact, he knew that the other party could play the piano and would change some magic tricks, but as for whether there would be more things, he didn't know.

Xuanyu asked, "Then what is the name of this song he is playing now?" ”

Yuanshang Jingliu shook his head: "I don't know, I haven't heard of it, I can't tell if it's made up on the spot, but the difficulty of playing is not very great, and a fourth-level is enough." ”

"I agree, the boss definitely has this strength." Nishichiaki said.

The voices of several people were drowned in beautiful notes, melancholy like the blue sea, longing like the bright moonlight, and detached like a dream.

"I guess I'm missing a woman." Nishichiaki joked as always.

It's a real possibility, everyone knows that the boss had an experience of surviving from the sea, maybe he was dragged back by a mermaid.

And now, he is almost close to the sea area where the accident happened back then, and he is now playing the piano solo, probably sending a signal to the mermaid.

But thinking about it this way, Nishichiaki is still a little afraid, feeling that this ship is afraid that it will not live long.

But it doesn't matter, if something happens to the ship, it doesn't mean that someone has an accident, and their group of chess players are very hard.

The final song fell to the ground, and the moonlight was hidden, and only then did they realize that there was no moon at all tonight, and everything was their imagination immersed in the music.

Tonight, as usual, it was a low, whistling cloudy day, and the sound of the monster's breathing before waking up could be heard in the water.

Fingers left the keys, Koshikawa Ryuji politely stood up and bowed to the audience, and four applause rang out sparsely.

"I'm glad you all came here with me, and I hope you can remember the moonlight today, which will be the only night you can see the moonlight in the near future." Koshikawa Ryuji picked up a glass of strong red wine and drank it deeply.

Shizuru Fuchigami also politely took a drink from the wine glass on the table.

"Huh? This taste...... Is it strawberry wine? Fuchijo said in surprise.

"yes, or else what do you think this is?" Nishichiaki asked with a smile.

"I thought it was red wine." Shizuryu Fuchigami responded as it should.

In her opinion, the boss is an iconic villain in her impression, with a purple suit and strong red wine, and the boss has been drinking this thing every day, and has been soaking in ice, so it must be red wine.

Now I was suddenly told that it was just strawberry wine, and there was a wonderful sense of contrast.

"It's better to leave the bitter things of red wine to the night god country, and the delicious strawberry ruby, let's enjoy it." Koshikawa Ryuji shook his glass and said, just the right amount of force to control the tumbling of the wine at the critical point of spilling.

"You called us here, and you must have called us here to just let us listen to you play the piano." Xuan Yuzhi asked.

"No, playing the piano is the main project, if you don't believe me, you can feel yourself carefully now?" Koshikawa Ryuji said.

Being mentioned like this, Xuan Yuzhi carefully felt his current state.

There was a wonderful power surging in the body, like a chaotic song.

State...... Perfection was achieved.

Xuan Yuzhi showed a look of astonishment.

"That's right, the perfect state, the opponent has, we must have it, otherwise this game will be too unfair." Koshikawa Ryuji snapped his fingers loudly.

Shizuryu Engami also felt the power that had entered his body.

Although it claims to be in perfect condition, it doesn't feel comfortable.

She unconsciously lowered her head, and suddenly noticed that something like a shadow was moving.

A tentacle-like shadow spread out from under the feet of Koshikawa Ryuji, enveloping the soles of the other four.

It didn't take long for the perfect state to be transmitted, and the shadows were all retracted to the feet of Koshikawa Ryuji.

Shizuru Fuchikami's shoulders trembled, a little numb.

I don't know, the boss's real body is an octopus monster or something......

Shomen Inoue, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke: "Is this the power of ...... 'Dragon Seat'?" ”

"It's almost, but it's also reasonable and doesn't touch the ability to foul at all, in comparison, the Night God Kingdom Jing let that group of old men get young again, that's cheating." Koshikawa Ryuji said.

It's not without a reasonable explanation, this is still the same as going to do a full set of SPA before the game, which is a way to improve your competitive state.

In ancient times, some people would listen to shamisen, others would drink tea, and hot springs would have been around since ancient times.

As for whether anyone chooses to make a shot...... It's hard to say, from a scientific point of view, it hurts the body, but it can't be ruled out that someone will really come before the Armageddon in the future, and open up the second pulse of Ren Du or something.

Xuanyu was stunned when she heard this: "Wait, they are young again?" ”

Koshikawa Ryuji compared a finger: "Shhhh.....h Heard by "them". ”

Xuanyu shut up in amusement.

As someone who once won the title of famous general, he was told what "they" were.

The majestic power of nature, something that should not be woken up.

"Since listening to the piano is the main purpose, what about the secondary purpose?" Fuchigami asked.

"The secondary purpose is to hope that everyone will come together to witness a ceremony."

A wooden box was taken out of under the table top of the piano, apparently prepared a long time ago.

"There must be a hoodoo in it, and if you want to use it, I want you to stop it." Inoue said solemnly.

"Don't worry, ominous things, I've thrown them all away, thrown into the sea, even if they are still there, I won't use them, this is an incomparably sacred dragon throne battle, it's watching from a high place, how dare I make a mistake?"

"What's in there?"

"It's just a seed."

"Can you open it up and let us have a look?" Xuanyu asked.

"That's not going to work, if you turn it on..... It disappears, only when it is not seen. Koshikawa Ryuji pressed his five fingers against the wooden box.

"That's ...... Schrödinger's cat? Fuchigami asked.

Nishichiaki asked, "Schrödinger's cat?" What's that? ”

She replied: "Metaphysics such as quantum mechanics cannot be explained clearly, in short, the meaning of the boss can be understood that there is indeed something in it, but it is not what we should see." ”

"Very good, I just like a knowledgeable girl like you Jingliu, and she is sensible."

"Although I have a high rating of your boss, I'm very troubled by you liking me like this." She said lightly.

"Oh, that's a sad answer...... Just a little joke, let's invite everyone to witness the ceremony, it's very simple. ”

With that, he went to the balcony outside the floor-to-ceiling window and held the wooden box containing the "seeds" aloft.

With a force, it was thrown into the sea.

A small splash was hit, but it was quickly drowned in the wake of the boat's tows.

"Ritual, end."

"It's easier than you think." Shizuru replied.

Koshikawa Ryuji did not tell the reason for this: "Okay, everyone go back to the room and rest, tomorrow is the last day of rest, after tomorrow, the world will become very scary." ”

In the depths of the sea, a wooden box slowly sank in the darkness.

It suddenly opened automatically, and a strangely shaped seed floated out of it.

The purple light of evil qi emanated from above, and fell deeper into the abyss, like a sacrifice to the deep sea.

......

......

The tide settles and the morning sun rises the next day.

The Ryugu also stopped after that, and leaned into some fine harbor in the Pacific Ocean.

Throughout the journey, it has always maintained such a stop-and-go posture, shuttling all the way through the archipelago of Southeast Asia, occasionally dropping a group of passengers, and also coming up a group of passengers, like metabolism, forever maintaining its own blood and prosperity.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Ke Zhiguang woke up naturally, opened the window, and felt the first salty sea breeze in the morning.

The reputation is sea salt, and there is no need to wash your mouth, and the whole person is sober in an instant.

Yesterday's celebration lasted until half past eleven, and Harushima Deer was drunk to the point of being unconscious, and it was also a personal ability to drink fruit wine and faint.

Kojimitsu reminisced about what had happened yesterday, the victory over the Kudangumi, the game against Saito, and the secrets he had learned.....

There's no need to think about it so much, just win everything.

Thinking so, he went out, intending to spend the day peacefully.

With the blessing of perfect condition, you don't need to think about the rusty hand, you just need to think about how to start while lying in bed in the middle of the night.

As soon as the door opened, an ouch came from in front of me.

Harushima deer stumbled to the floor, the hem of the sailor's dress raised......

If it's normal, it will definitely show that the [Peach Event Triggered Successfully].

"But, damn! That's what you calculated! Harushima deer hurriedly covered her hem and sat on the ground like a duck.

"Ah, the weather is so good, and the moon is so round tonight...... Hey, why are you sitting on the ground on Harumajima? Ke Zhiguang first raised his head and looked into the distance, and then lowered his head, pretending to find the other party inadvertently.

"It's not night yet!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I haven't woken up from my dream yet...... Are you sobering up? ”

"Hmph, I watched TV at every turn, and there was a middle-aged office worker uncle who had a headache the next day after a hangover, and the actual experience was just like that." Harushima said proudly.

After all, it's just fruit wine.

"Hey, what are we doing today? Is it to warm up, or to have fun? She asked.

Ke Zhiguang glanced up and down at the other party's outfit.

This kind of bag is all on the shoulder, the hat is on, and the sandals are all on, but I still ask about today's itinerary......

After feeling Ke Zhiguang's gaze, Harushima Lu tensed his reserved shoulders and coughed: "After all, my next opponent is just Yuanshang Jingliu, and there is not much pressure, that is to say, I am the only one in the entire team who is qualified to relax!" ”

At the end, she grinned confidently, revealing her white teeth.

"Okay, I'm not in a position to relax, I'll go back to my room and play chess." Ke Zhiguang turned his head and pretended to go back to the room.

"Stop, stop! Neither are you...... Ah that, I mean...... Actually, you're entitled to take a break! Harushima Lu hurriedly grabbed Kojimitsu.

"No, no, no, I'm not qualified, I'm not qualified, I still don't even know what Koshikawa Ryuki's chess style looks like, I have to step up my training." Ke Zhiguang continued to arch inward.

"Okay, okay! Please, take me out for some fun! Just have fun! Please! "Harushima Deer's sandals dragged their mark on the carpet.

Finally to tell the truth.

There is a feeling of honey that interrupts and rubs the spell.

Although it is a team of five people, the group has already been pulled up, the sister group, and the real man group of Brother Forging Zi's own faction, so Ke Zhiguang and Harushima Deer were forced to form a group.

After breakfast, the two of them formed a group and wandered around the ship, from bow to stern, and then to land, wandering around this beautiful harbor, and the afternoon time passed quickly.

Today is a rare good weather, and the sun has shown for the first time after being hidden for several days.

Ke Zhiguang had a hunch that this would be the best weather in the next few days.

As the afternoon passed, the sea turned orange-blue again, and the evening breeze reverberated on the sea.
