Chapter 205 White Crow (Free)

"The landscaping on the seventh floor is well done."

Quan Heng looked around and smiled gently.

It was her first time to come to the club area on the seventh floor, but everyone who saw Quan Heng greeted him respectfully, and even Sang Ting could call every one of them by name.

"Now...are all your people here?"

Entering the renovated reception room on the seventh floor, Song Jingyun found that it was very similar to the interior of Lanzhuang, and there was even a chessboard.

"Because my time is very precious, I can't waste it."

Quan Heng sat down, looked at the chessboard and took the chess piece: "So I cleaned the interior in the fastest way."

"You want to deal with the troublemakers here?" Song Jingyun sat opposite, "But killing is prohibited in the border area."

"What are the rules of the border area? You can solve it by smashing game coins, and you can break it with props and privileges," Quan Heng smiled, "I don't want to dirty my Lanzhuang, that's the place my mother left me, and it can't be stained with a bit of blood."

"And the border area is already dirty enough, it doesn't matter if it gets a little dirtier."

There was a noise outside the window, and Quan Heng tilted his head to look.

"——The fun begins."

...

"Second Master, the boss' previous order was to complete the task within ten minutes."

Seeing Sang Ting in position, the subordinate whispered, "The sooner the better, it's best for one person to deal with only one person, do it yourself."

"Yeah." Sang Ting's eyebrows were cold, "A bunch of blind people - I've kept an eye on those who should be watched, if I let them run away, I won't show mercy."

"Don't worry, everything has been arranged." The subordinate said, "As long as they fall into the trap, we can..."

Sang Ting's eyes turned fierce, looking at the several people who entered the club, sneering: "Do it."

After observing the chaos outside the house through the one-way bulletproof window, Song Jingyun turned around and looked at Quan Heng who was playing chess calmly.

He held the black and white pieces in his right hand and placed them on the chessboard.

The eighteen pieces were twisted in the palm of his left hand, and even the frequency of rotation was slow and orderly.

"As expected of my boss, you are so stable." Song Jingyun sat opposite Quan Heng and teased, "No matter how strong the wind blows, I will remain unmoved."

Quan Heng gave him a look, slowly sat up, and the black pieces in his hand fell from his bony palm into the chess pot:

"I gave an order and I want to see a satisfactory result. If you can't deal with this kind of rubbish..."

When all the chess pieces fell, Quan Heng calmly stopped: "I don't support idle people, let alone worthless waste."

"You let Mu Jing go back to sleep and let Sang Ting go to kill people?"

"Different knives have different uses and different ways of supporting them."

Song Jingyun was silent for two seconds and picked up the black chess pot.

"I'll go first, play with you for the next game, and see how long you can last."

Quan Heng smiled, and saw that the black piece went first, "How about not giving points, and playing seat chess?"

Black has an advantage when it goes first. Generally, in order to offset the efficiency of the black side going first, the black side needs to give out three and three-quarters pieces when calculating the winner at the end of the current game. In ancient times, the seat system was used to limit the advantage of going first, that is, to place the black and white pieces in the diagonal positions respectively.

But the seat system does not limit as many points as the point-giving system, and the first player still has more advantages.

"Hey, you don't have to give in, and in ancient times, the white piece went first, don't mix the ancient and modern things."

Song Jingyun said with disdain, and the standard of the move: "I said that I can last as long as I can. Even if I can't beat you, I won't take advantage of you on the chessboard."

Quan Heng just smiled: "Okay."

"Now can you tell me the purpose of your publicity?"

Song Jingyun asked: "Spread your brand, and the forum will be on the front page for three days."

"Isn't it good? It just makes up for the lack of competition promotion."

Quan Heng played the corner chess, breaking the route of Song Jingyun occupying the corner.

"I made such a big fuss, originally for the purpose of competition promotion, and this can also achieve the purpose of finding opponents for the intercontinental competition."

"Finding opponents for the intercontinental competition..." Song Jingyun paused, and suddenly remembered, "Yes, the opponents for the intercontinental competition have to be found by yourself. The next two days are the free line combination period!"

The team competition format of the intercontinental competition of "Mysterious Forbidden Zone" is quite special.

The border system only issues orders and rules, and each major area conducts PK duels according to the requirements of the competition. Only one PK can be conducted per day, and multiple teams can be in one game.

Winning a team earns 1 point, and losing loses 2 points. Finally, the ranking is based on the points, with a full score of 20 points. The first border area can allocate five global competition quotas each season, which means that Quan Heng and others can enter the global competition if they get the top five points in the intercontinental competition.

There are two days of laning combination period and twelve days of official competition period.

As for why there is a laning combination period... it is because the official does not organize a battle schedule.

Want to get points during the official competition period? Yes, either spend game coins to buy the system to arrange it during the combination period, or find connections yourself, otherwise you won’t even have the opportunity to play in the game and get points.

"Because the border is a dark microcosm of the human world, rotten, dirty, and inhumane, like dirty water in the gutter."

Quan Heng made small flying hooks on both sides to attack the star position, and arranged the double flying swallows. His voice lost its temperature:

"And these turbid dirty waters breed a bunch of maggots, and the vicious cycle again constitutes the current situation of exploitation, profiteering, plunder and oppression."

The noise outside was faintly heard in the room, and the jackals attracted by the fragrance and wealth were in chaos. Most of the people who followed were reckless and ignorant, with blind confidence in their own abilities, and loved the rottenness of biting each other.

“Everyone is trying to find ways to draw blood from elsewhere to make up for the grievances they have suffered, to increase their own value and the bargaining chips they have, so as to ensure that they are not the worst one - people unknowingly fall into the vortex of similar competition and devaluation. , eventually forming internal friction in the same layer.

"The biggest beneficiaries of this kind of internal friction are the exploiters at the highest level. Because the lower and lower levels are actively or passively involved in the internal friction, no one has the time or energy to think about who is the culprit of this pain. .

"Even if some people think about it, they will be unable to unite because of suspicion and scruples, let alone fight against exploitation regardless of their own safety. So they become paralyzed again, imprisoned by unspoken rules and shackles again.

"And these vampire bats just need to sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor."

Song Jingyun couldn't help but feel a chill running down his spine, and said softly: "Border system?"

“In the frontier it is indeed He, for it is He who guides and makes the rules.”

Quan Heng laughed softly, "In our world, it is the upper class who control and monopolize most resources. Such resources include but are not limited to economy, connections, power, but also include information, medical care, education, etc. . With these resources in hand, you also have the power to formulate social rules and hidden rules.”

Song Jingyun was dazed and his heartbeat was a little abnormal. This kind of intertwining of reality and illusion was so suffocating.

"Of course, what I just said was wrong."

Quan Heng stretched out his hand to remove several sunspots and poured them into his own jar:

"That is why the Lambs can unite without hesitation, but mostly in order to become the upper echelon of this old order, to become exploiters of the old world, to become new vampires, to taste the taste of power."

Quan Heng raised his eyes with a smile in his eyes: "After all, who doesn't like power?"

"I also like that power can change many things. If you want to break away from the control of the game and change the order of the border area, you need power."

But she is not a lamb, she is a poisonous snake, a poisonous snake that has long been inhabited on the pile of bones.

"The seventh level is just the beginning. Although I used the method of stripping away the brand to replace everyone with my people, this exchange of blood is not enough. There are still too few professional players - I need more, and everyone who comes is Professional gamer, this is also one of the purposes of exposing my brand.

"The one who wishes will take the bait."

Quan Heng held the black robe, curved his lips and smiled:

"This move is just right."

The sounds outside the building gradually became quieter, the door was knocked, and the servant came in with tea.

Quan Heng glanced at the chess game and said with a smile: "Taoist Song, are you going to admit defeat in the middle of the game?"

The situation is so bad that it is irreversible, and there is no point in continuing.

Song Jingyun picked up the two pieces and put them on the table. This was the sign that the Go player was admitting defeat.

"Admit defeat." Song Jingyun sighed, "I feel good enough."

"Yes, it's better than I expected." Quan Heng said.

Go can best reflect a person's scheming and temperament, and this game of chess can be regarded as another kind of honesty between the two of them.

Song Jingyun was able to fight alone for so long. It was impossible for him to have only the same skills as before. She was looking forward to the super S sequence without hiding his clumsiness.

"Boss, the traces outside have almost been cleaned up."

The man put down the tea and asked softly, "Do you want to go take a look?"

"No." Quan Heng took a sip of tea to cheer up, "You can go out first."

"Yes." His men gently closed the door.

Quan Heng breathed a sigh of relief and pressed his eyebrows tiredly.

"The body is the capital of revolution. Your body... you should think less about it."

Song Jingyun took a sip of hot tea, thought for a while and then suggested: "How about you and I go to the mountains to live for a few days, so that you can be pure and meditate - my ancestor really wants to meet you, maybe you and I are destined."

Quan Heng laughed. She did not respond, but turned around and approached the glass wall of the room.

Song Jingyun pursed his lips and lowered his eyes at the three copper coins in his hand.

"Daozhang Song, ask what you want to ask and say what you want to say."

Quan Heng suddenly spoke and looked at Song Jingyun through the reflective glass.

"If I miss this opportunity today, I probably won't tell the truth."

Song Jingyun was quiet and asked in a low voice, "Did you kill all the bounty hunters on the seventh floor?"

"almost."

"There are so many people from all over the world. Where do you come from and what time do you log out?"

"Trading with Bianyu." Quan Heng fiddled with the beads, "I can't comment on the content of the transaction."

"……good."

Silence fell in the room.

Song Jingyun twisted the copper coin and thought of the hexagram he had drawn:

Even though he couldn't calculate Quan Heng's outcome or her clear destiny, that hexagram really affected luck. If he couldn't control this move well, he didn't know what the outcome would be.

But if he gives an early warning to avoid disaster, the person with the greatest impact will not be Quan Heng. This kind of leakage can be fatal if not managed well.

——This is also the reason why the interpretation of hexagrams by warlocks is always confusing.

Quan Heng, Quan Heng...you crazy man who insists on taking risky moves.

"I am not opposed to using violence to fight violence, nor am I opposed to eradicating the roots."

Song Jingyun tightened his grip on the coins in his hand, raised his head, and spoke with a sigh:

"Quan Heng, they deserve death, but you know it's easy for you to do this..."

"——I will not die well." Quan Heng interrupted what he wanted to say lightly.

Song Jingyun suddenly froze on the spot, watching Quan Heng slowly turn his head and put his hand on his chin.

There was an obvious smile on her face, but her black eyes did not have a trace of emotion, which only made people feel cold.

"I will not die well."

Slowly and clearly, word by word.

"... Don't say that."

Song Jingyun felt cold in his heart and exhaled tremblingly: "Quan Heng, don't say that. It's just bad luck, but you are justified..."

"No need to say, Taoist Song."

Quan Heng shook his head gently, and his smile was slightly warm:

"I know very well what I am doing and what I have done, and I know what I will face on this path I have chosen.

"You can't stand this rotten world, and I also hate this rotten order, but am I not one of the defenders of this rottenness?

"I used it to gain power from this chaos, and I am as dirty as it is. If the flock of crows flying at night is used to symbolize chaos, decay, and darkness like literature, then I am one of them."

Quan Heng turned the Buddhist beads, his white clothes were clean and warm, and he lowered his eyes in the dim light of the border, and his voice was still gentle and calm.

"No matter how out of place the white crow is, it is still part of the crow flock.

"The bright new world doesn't need me."

At dusk and dawn, the glimmer of light in the border land fell into the child-like eyes, as bright as the morning star when the ignorance first awakened.

"This is the same as your idea of ​​retreating from the prosperous times, but I belong to the chaos, not a good person, and will never be in harmony with the real light. Of course, I don't think my ending will be so tragic.

"The chaotic old world is difficult to end. Maybe I won't be able to welcome the light on the day of my natural death."

Quan Heng suddenly turned his head, and the glimmer splashed on her hair. Her cheeks were bathed in the morning light. It was so beautiful that the breath of the people who saw it was stagnant.

"Don't worry, Taoist Song."

She looked at Song Jingyun, her eyebrows and eyes were warm and smiling:

"Maybe, I can live a hundred years."

Song Jingyun opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Quan Heng turned around: "Go down and take a look."

...

There were corpses everywhere, and Quan Heng walked around calmly.

They were like unique sprinklers on the border, quietly spraying blood until all the blood was drained.

The land became sticky, and stepping on it was like stepping on expired glue, which was not very sticky and smelled bad. The light red silk thread stretched and broke when I lifted my foot.

"It's too dirty, isn't it?"

"But one day, I will clean this place."

Quan Heng took a step and was about to walk towards the port, and suddenly "bang" a gorgeous firework exploded in the sky above the twin screens.

...

"KP summary: The world has been decided, congratulations to the player for unlocking the Ekhi-Daybreak way (human)"

The connectors who had already stood up and were about to leave the viewing platform turned around in astonishment and looked at the screen that exploded the celebratory fireworks.

They did not leave the viewing platform because it was not peaceful outside and they wanted to stay quiet.

But they did not expect that there would be a surprise after the black screen for almost half an hour.

After the fireworks, golden notes suddenly spread out from the projector and projected all over the viewing platform——

The score of the piano piece "Victory" took shape, and the notes brushed across everyone's cheeks and foreheads as if they were real, forming stars flowing in the dark space.

The melody gradually rose, and it sounded unprecedentedly from a non-area 1 position, spreading to the entire border!

"No, isn't it only the first-sequence IMAX theaters that can enjoy the celebration song?!"

"Damn, didn't Quan Heng let it go when he tested the water? But that was also investing resources into the viewing platform area 1. What record has been broken? How can non-areas 1 also play celebration songs?!!"

Outside the viewing platform, people who saw the notes coming from the fourth area were dumbfounded:

"What's going on? It's not area 1, right? How can there be notes?!!"

"Look at the twin screens! Look at the twin screens, my family!"

Ding Dong!

Connector Quan Heng-data submitted!

The joyful voice of the twin screen system sounded——

[This time, a total of 301,660 emotional points were harvested, and a total of 686,988 game coins were obtained! ! Breaking the record of professional rookies in the S1-17 season! Topping the rookie list and entering the top 20 of the new god sequence! Breaking the fastest rise record in history! ]

One wave has not settled, and another wave rises. The originally low-pitched style of music in the void has changed. When the female and male voices sounded with the piano music, it officially entered a majestic climax, and all the notes vibrated together!

The congratulatory sound of the border system pushed people's astonishment to a climax——

[Ding! Congratulations to the first border connector Quan Heng, who won the title of "Emperor Sequence-Reserve Position" by exception! Becoming the first connector in the entire restricted area game to win this title in four games! Unprecedented! ]

[Ding! All channels have been notified and rewarded! ! 】

The sound of the border system set off a storm, and the global channel exploded in an instant. Countless connectors in the seven borders stopped and looked at the playback screen floating above the border——

[Ding! Big news: Quan Heng, the connector of the first border...]

The second border continued to report. The man who wiped the knife paused and looked out the window.

His light blond hair fell softly on his shoulders, and his retro French white shirt was soaked with blood.

"I haven't heard the full game report for a long time."

He stood up and stepped on the pure white carpet barefoot casually, and blood bloomed on the snow carpet: "It's not a taboo, it's not a mad hatter. A new god has appeared in the first border? It sounds like a Chinese."

...

"Chief, it's from the first border again."

In the fourth border, the girl wearing a red hood and sitting by the window turned around and said to the lady behind her who was making black tea: "It's a name I've never heard of before."

"Yeah, that's normal."

The elegant lady raised her hand and said with a gentle smile: "I just didn't expect that the intercontinental competition will start tomorrow. Today, I am stuck on the final ranking reward of S18 to earn achievements - come on, the black tea will not taste good when it is cold."

…

"I won the emperor reserve position for the fourth time, cool!"

In the sixth border, the beret girl who was painting immediately stood up and waved to the girl who was observing the seagulls not far away, her eyes bright:

"Chief! I want to buy coordinates with Bianyu now, and I want to fly to Asia to have a look!! I won't go to the intercontinental competition, there is nothing fun anyway! I will be back for the global competition!"

The girl holding the telescope only glanced at her and said "oh" indifferently, as if she didn't really care about her life or death.

"Don't worry," the girl picked up the drawing board, "if I see her -"

She grinned, her eyes filled with interest and danger, "If you are too weak, you will be killed and used as paint~ Don't miss me~ Bye!"

The girl looking at the seagull sighed and shook her head, muttering and turning her head to continue observing.

"These days, mental illness that seeks death has become common."

…

First side.

"Quan Heng?" The woman standing under the Beidou of stars chuckled, "This man is indeed powerful."

"Then Earl, should we take action?"

The girl following him tilted her head, "The Special Investigation Bureau has sent a negotiation email to the leader, hoping that we will not take action against Quan Heng in the human world, otherwise it will count as..."

"Does this count as breaking up with the Special Investigation Bureau?"

The count sneered, "No, when did our Red Right Hand become affiliated with their special investigation bureau? We have already complied with the national regulations not to carry guns, and we still want to extend our hands to the head of the private scavenger organization. That six years ago I haven’t done the math yet.”

The girl asked tentatively: "Then let's..."

"Jie," she said, walking towards the port, "even if it doesn't succeed, let the Special Investigation Bureau see its attitude."

…

"It turns out that if you reach the top of the rookie list and reach the top 20 in the New Gods sequence, the system will push relevant information on the list."

Inside the club, Quan Heng looked at the announcement that popped up.

His eyes stayed on the top of the list of new gods for a moment, and he suddenly smiled softly.

“It was an unexpected, expected surprise.”
