Chapter 1282 Clear Division of Labor

"What is this?"

The first time he saw the nail-headed monster, Lu Mingfei put his hand on the handle of Lust's knife. His body sank slightly and he was ready to fight. At the same time, he looked at Mandy who was leading the way. He didn't understand what the other person meant and was afraid. There is some fraud or something in it.

"I didn't retreat at the first moment but moved my body weight two steps to the right to block Su Xiaoqiang behind me. That's right, Lu Mingfei, you have grown so much since we last saw each other. Someone taught you something. Are you there?" Mandy didn't look back, just looked at the lonely and terrifying nail-headed weirdo in the light under the chandelier with her hands on her hips, "Don't worry, he's not a threat, as long as you don't take the initiative to participate in the games he hosts, that's it. One level of content.”

"What this level means is that this is Line 7." Su Xiaoqiang understood Mandy's words and understood what was happening now. He looked at the thin weirdo with a ferocious appearance and frowned.

"Death chess game." Lu Mingfei said suddenly. He stared at the weirdo and seemed to gradually match this thing with a certain part of his memory. Yes, when watching the live CG on the computer, there was a sense of separation from the drama. , now that he saw the physical thing all at once, it was inevitable that he would not recognize it at first sight, but when his attention was focused on the chess board, no matter how slow he was, he should have reacted.

"It seems that you have done your homework before going to the Nibelungen, so there is no need to waste a lot of my time." Mandy suddenly clasped her hands together twice, "Does any of you have any experience in playing chess?"

"I have played a little bit, and Lin Nian likes to play chess with me when he has nothing to do." Su Xiaoqiang said.

"Really?" Mandy looked back at Su Xiaoqiang unexpectedly, then turned back and sighed, "He still likes to play chess so much, but it's a pity that I can't continue to teach him like before."

"Forget it, Sister Su, let's forget it." Lu Mingfei immediately turned around and pressed Su Xiaoqiang's shoulders to persuade him in a low voice. Even though the other party was expressionless, he was still afraid that the two women would quarrel at this juncture. Now the enemy is at hand. It should be communicated unanimously to the outside world.

Su Xiaoqiang waved her hand to indicate that she would not get angry so easily. A quarrel was a quarrel, and she could still tell when to quarrel and when to tolerate.

Lu Mingfei was a little confused. Is Mandy Gonzalez mentally ill? From the very beginning of the meeting, he attacked them crazily, especially Su Xiaoqiang. If you want to say that the love rival is extremely jealous when they meet, is this guy jealous to this extent? Those who didn't know better thought she came first. You know, Su Xiaoqiang has known Lin Nian since high school. You were the one who came later, right?

"Women's jealousy." Mandy Gonzalez muttered and laughed inaudibly from the front.

It's reasonable to insist on classifying Mandy Gonzalez as petty. After all, Lu Mingfei doesn't have a close relationship with this woman. They only met once. Maybe she has been such a petty person from the beginning. Sure?

However, Lu Mingfei's seventh sense as a man (women have a sixth sense, men have a seventh sense, so said in "Saint Seiya") told him that Mandy's target was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, and That is to say, this woman seems to be hiding something.

Underneath her harshness towards Su Xiaoqiang, she seemed to have some special purpose.

"It's true that Lin Nian's chess game was taught by me. How would you win in a chess game with him?" Mandy seemed to be too lazy to be weird and passed the message to Su Xiaoqiang to ask about serious matters.

"I haven't beaten him. He usually doesn't let others play this kind of thing. He will only teach the loser what went wrong after winning." Su Xiaoqiang answered normally.

"In line with his personality, he can give in to big things and endure small things, but not games. The game must be divided into high and low levels." Mandy raised her hand and stroked Juaner's golden retriever, and said in a calm tone, "Lu Mingfei is not you. ? Can you play chess?"

"I don't know much." Lu Mingfei is quite bachelor. "I play Chinese chess. When I was in school, I would watch the elders play chess every day in the community park. I still have some confidence in Chinese chess. Both Chinese chess and international chess What do they have in common?"

"I can't say that there is none at all, I can only say that it has nothing to do with it. The only thing they have in common is that they are both chess games, and they both rely on checkmate to win." Mandy stretched out, and the bones all over her body cracked slightly. Hibiki seemed to have been here for too long and his body was rusty. "One is an amateur, the other is average. Let's rehearse first and feel the bottom of the only person who knows how to do it."

With her hands in her pockets, Mandy led Su Xiaoqiang and Lu Mingfei around a corner and walked past the nail weirdo. As they passed by, their eyes couldn't help but stay on that terrifying pale face. , the gaze of the man's face also moved as they passed by. The gaze in the deep eye sockets made people shudder, but he did not make any extraordinary move to disturb the three people passing by.

From this distance, Lu Mingfei could clearly see the cold light refracted by the steel nails on the nail-headed weirdo's face, the pink blood vessels on the gums of the torn corners of his mouth that were still beating, the thin body like open ribs, and the bare chest without nipples. , that sense of freshness in the human body makes people feel uncomfortable and repulsed from the bottom of their hearts.

"Don't try to build it." Mandy suddenly turned to look at Lu Mingfei, who was looking at the nail-haired god, and said calmly.

This sentence made Lu Mingfei, who was about to look at Nail Head's shoulder, raised his head in shock and met Mandy's pale golden eyes, "What did you say?"

"I said, don't build it. Your word spirit 'Lunar Eclipse' is indeed very powerful, but in the Nibelungs you should know that some things cannot be passed with just one or two cheat codes. Sometimes you cheat randomly. You will be banned. In the worst case, after the official detects your cheating behavior, they will personally 'tease' you. Believe me, this kind of 'teasing' is not gentle and kind at all." Mandy said solemnly. Said, "As long as we don't provoke him, he won't attack us, so theoretically this is a safe house, but there are no supplies, but you can stay as long as you want. If you want to leave from here, let's talk about it separately. ”

Real cold sweat flowed down Lu Mingfei's neck. Su Xiaoqiang was not surprised that Mandy knew Lu Mingfei's voice, but she didn't know that what really scared Lu Mingfei was the word "cheat code" that Mandy spat out. Does she know something about her secrets?

They walked to the platform service center about twenty or thirty meters away from the nail-headed weirdo. On the table in the service center was a beggar's version of chess. Why is it called a beggar's version? That's because the chessboard was painted with dust from the table. Yes, the chess pieces were carved from stones. Lu Mingfei noticed that there were some crushed lime between Mandy's fingers. It was not difficult to guess that this was the opponent's masterpiece.

It can be seen from the scratches on the table that Mandy must have been simulating playing chess here for a long time before they arrived. It is estimated that the imaginary enemy was the nail-headed weirdo.

Does this mean that even Mandy is not completely sure of defeating the other party?

Mandy flipped over to the table to confront Su Xiaoqiang, "The two of us will play. I'll feel your level and then consider what to do next."

"Do we have to play this chess? We can't do it simply." Lu Mingfei made a gesture of wiping his neck and quietly looked back at the nail-headed weirdo, but when he cast his gaze, he found with disgust that the other person was also looking back at him. , and he was looking back with his neck twisted 180° without moving his body. The dark folds on his snow-white neck caused by the rotation made people shudder.

"Don't think about it. After a period of testing, Nailhead can't be killed, and attacking him will make you a 'sacrifice.'" Mandy casually moved the stones on the chessboard, stretched out her hand to signal Su Xiaoqiang to move, and the two People started playing on this chessboard.

"'Sacrifice'? What do you mean?" Lu Mingfei felt that this word was not good and he didn't like it very much.

"Literally, which level of the game has not played with life? The rule followed by this Nibelungen is "exchange value with life." Use life as a bargaining chip to exchange for value and meaning. Everyone on this stage is You are a player. The coins you put into the game machine are your life. Of course, an ordinary game of chess also requires sacrifices." Mandy moved the chess pieces and said, "Since you have played Chinese chess, you should know chess. Most games have timers, right? Both players have their own playing time during the whole game. When you run out of your time, even if you have a great position, as long as the game is not over, you will be judged as a loss.”

Lu Mingfei nodded. He knew a little about this. When he was in junior high school, he overestimated his ability and signed up for the city's youth chess competition. As a result, every fast chess move he played against his opponent was a long test for him. , that is, after that time, he realized the wise saying of eating as much as you eat, and since then he quit the chess world and switched to RTS and MOBA.

"Death chess game, just like the name you mentioned, there is also a timer in this game. The time you play chess is the death time of the 'sacrifice'. Before the chess game starts, there will be an unlucky guy who starts the game. Sacrifice, it is usually confined in a dangerous situation, such as a slowly filling water tank, a track where the train moves a little at a time, a secret room where the walls are gradually collapsing. Every time you spend a little time, the sacrifice will be one step closer to death. , until you lose the game or time runs out, and the sacrifice dies completely and you will be deemed a loser.”

"What will happen if we are sentenced to lose?" Lu Mingfei asked worriedly.

"Nothing will happen, because the sacrifice died for you. You are just a chess player. If you lose, you just throw in the coin and try again? Why do you think I can still sit here." Mandy, who was behind the table, kicked the heavy weight on her feet. Lu Mingfei curiously walked over and took a look at her feet. His expression turned ugly for a moment because there was actually a corpse of a man whose hair had fallen off hidden under the table. There were already signs of being a giant, and his face was swollen. Big, protruding eyeballs, enlarged and everted lips, which look extremely uncomfortable.

"he"

"There's nothing he doesn't like. He lost in the chess game and attacked the master without authorization. He was thrown into a solid water tank and became the next sacrifice." Mandy said lightly, "Then I took advantage of it. I just tried it without taking advantage of the bastard’s idea, and then he died after trying it.”

Lu Mingfei no longer had the energy to complain about Mandy's Chinese proficiency, so he pulled his eyes away from the corpse with difficulty, "Is that how you... don't regard human life as human life?"

"Don't talk nonsense. If I don't do it, someone will come and do it. If I can't do it, then there won't be many people in this world who can do it." Mandy said plainly, "I chose to give myself a holiday after I lost my job. I went to Iceland to play a few games of chess with retired Bobby Fischer some time ago. Although his time was running out when I met him, his chess skills were still there. The old guy had two brushes, so I I stole his brush. No one in the world can beat me in chess now. In this Nibelung, I am the most qualified person to try. Although I lost, I still gained. He made a lot of sacrifices, so it can’t be said that his sacrifice was completely meaningless.”

Lu Mingfei could hear absolute confidence and even pride in this woman's plain words. It was unquestionable pride, but Lu Mingfei was still skeptical about whether she valued human life - mainly because of her words It's too frivolous and unreliable, and the air of frivolity and indifference makes people completely confused as to whether she is serious or joking.

"You lost." Mandy casually moved her queen to checkmate Su Xiaoqiang, but Su Xiaoqiang remained silent.

She focused on the chess game the whole time and didn't even have time to chat. Even though she was so focused, she still lost miserably in the end. Mandy and Lu Mingfei casually killed her while chatting, and they didn't think much about every move of the chess pieces. It was like memorizing a chess piece named Su Xiaoqiang. Wherever Su Xiaoqiang moved, she simply followed the chess piece and won it.

"What a disastrous defeat." Lu Mingfei glanced at the chessboard. Even if he didn't understand chess, he could tell from the difference in the number of chess pieces that Su Xiaoqiang was killed and his armor was thrown off.

"This level is only about 1500 points, which is about the middle level of amateurs. I go there to deliver food." Mandy leaned on the table and patted the dust left by the stones and chess pieces on her hands. "I almost know what to do."

"What do you want to do? Use one of us as a sacrifice and then try again?" Lu Mingfei took a half-step back and looked at Mandy with some evil intentions.

"Yes, how do you know?" Mandy walked forward with a smile, and put her hand around Lu Mingfei's neck when goosebumps appeared all over his body, "You are Lin Nian's buddy, I He’s also Lin Nian’s buddy. After all, we’re also buddies. Don’t you guys have to stand up for your brothers? I don’t want you to stand up for me. Just drink some water for me.”

"What do you mean drink some water?" Lu Mingfei felt uncomfortable and reluctantly looked at this woman who looked like a senior sister.

"Do you see that water tank over there?" Mandy held Lu Mingfei in her arms and approached some nail-headed weirdos, pointing to a large open water tank not far away near the pillar. The shape is basically the same as what Lu Mingfei saw on the TV channel when he was a child. I’ve seen David Copperfield’s underwater escape in a sealed water tank. There were wet and rusty shackles in the water tank, which made people quite uneasy. “After a while, you take the initiative to go inside and put on the shackles, and the chess game will Start, you know what I mean?"

"I'm telling you, don't even think about it!" Lu Mingfei fell out at once, broke away from Mandy's hand and backed away, "Why don't you go in as a sacrifice?"

"There will be no one to play chess after I enter. It's basically impossible to pass the level with the skills of the two of you." Mandy looked at Lu Mingfei with her hands on her hips and sighed, "Aren't you in a hurry? You want to pass here. You can only be forced to play a fair chess game with that thing. If you don’t believe it, you can also try to find other exits or fight it directly. I will not stop you from doing so. Or rather, I am I'd love to see you give it a knife without thinking, and then be put in a water tank, which saves me the trouble of talking."

Lu Mingfei frowned and looked at Mandy, seeming to be thinking about something, and also glanced at Su Xiaoqiang.

"Lu Mingfei." Su Xiaoqiang spoke. She looked up at the smiling Mandy, "I think what she said is true. She is the key to our passing."

"Smart man, the only thing I like about you is that you are very knowledgeable." Mandy looked at Su Xiaoqiang and smiled, "There is an old Chinese saying that those who know the current affairs are heroes!"

"I can be the sacrifice." Su Xiaoqiang nodded and agreed with the other party's suggestion after thinking for a moment, "Actually, I'm also very curious, Senior Sister, do you really want to kill me in the Nibelungs?"

"Lin Nian won't let me go if I kill you, junior sister." Mandy said leisurely, "I won't do stupid things to lose your favorability. After all, I can't SAVE/LOAD. It's enough to do this kind of thing once." "

"It's not about who is going to be the sacrifice, it's about why we send someone to be the sacrifice, and you go to play chess to pass? Are we familiar with you? The person who is familiar with you is Lin Nian, okay?" Lu Mingfei decided to say He used harsh words to set clear boundaries. The more she came into contact with him, the more troublesome she felt. She was extremely skilled at closing the distance. If she lost her mind even a little, she would be betrayed by the other party and she would have to help her count the money.

"I think what you said makes sense, and I have also considered this, so how about this?" Mandy crossed her index fingers and pointed at Lu Mingfei, "You are responsible for being the sacrifice." She pointed to Su Xiaoqiang, "You I am responsible for sitting in front of the master and playing chess." She put her finger on her chin lightly and smiled, "And I am responsible for helping you play chess. How about sending one of you to pass the customs first to show your sincerity in cooperation?"
