Pollution throughout the territory

Chapter 18 Playing Chess

"what happened?"

Xia Ren wanted to see the surrounding environment clearly, but found that he could not control his body at all.

They seemed to be sitting on a bed, with pillows and the doll beside them. From the corner of the eye, you can see that this is a children's bed with bunk beds.

Looking at his crossed short legs, he suddenly realized that this was not his body, and that he might be in the world of a little boy.

"Brother, mom said she would take me out to play tomorrow."

Xinxin looked up at him with fear on his face, "I'm scared."

Xia Ren has been writing novels for many years, and his mind is full of all kinds of weird things. Therefore, he can quickly adapt to even the most abnormal situations. If the little boy wants to kill himself, there is no need to go through all these twists and turns. He speculates that the other party is I want to use this method to convey some information to myself.

"Normally, children will be happy when they go out to play. Why is Li Xin scared?"

"And where is this room?"

Li Xin has a close relationship with the little boy. It can be seen from the children's beds in the bunk beds that the two children have lived together for a long time. So this place is most likely Sun Aihong's home, and the upper room where they are now is Locked house!

"Is it possible that the little boy is also Sun Aihong's child and Li Xin's brother?"

It’s hard to imagine anything other than this speculation.

"Don't be afraid, sister, I will protect you. I will follow you quietly tomorrow,"

Xia Ren heard himself say.

Then the scene changed, and he came to an empty place, which should be an underground garage. There was no one around, and it was filled with all kinds of cars.

Xia Ren has become accustomed to his height, and it feels quite novel to suddenly observe the world from this perspective.

Just when he thought something was going to happen next, only two seconds later, the surrounding scene changed again.

This time the angle of view is very high, as if you are standing on a table, surrounded by white and yellow flowers.

"I am dead?"

There were people with sad faces below, and among them, he saw two familiar faces.

He's seen it in photos.

"You are too cruel!"

The man's tone was filled with uncontrollable anger.

"I didn't mean it. It was him. He crawled in by himself. It has nothing to do with me!"

Sun Aihong wiped her tears in grievance and tried to hold her husband's hand, but was ruthlessly thrown away.

Pain, resentment, sadness, loneliness...all kinds of negative emotions were like a flood that burst a dam, suddenly washing away Xia Ren's sanity.

In the last scene, he saw himself standing in the middle of the road, with Li Xin running towards him, and the sound of surprise filled his mind.

"elder brother!"

The harsh sound of brakes woke Xia Ren up, and he felt a cold touch on his palms.

He looked around blankly and found that he was still standing in the corridor, holding the door handle of the ward in his hand, and had not yet entered.

"Is it all an illusion?"

His whole body felt chilly, and he realized that he was already sweating.

[Warning, the host's sanity is below 30 and has been contaminated. The current pollution value is: 2/100. 】

It’s a long-lost system prompt, but why didn’t I hear it when I was dragged into the hallucination just now?

When he thought this, a text unfolded in his mind.

[To protect the host, information related to this mission is temporarily withheld. 】

"It's this sentence again. I remember hearing it when we first started integrating the system."

Regardless of what the hidden part is, just being dragged into the hallucination and causing contamination to oneself, the infected body this time is not as simple as Mrs. Liu last time.

Through the glass on the door, you can see that Xinxin is still sleeping soundly on the hospital bed. Next to her pillow, the doll is lying there quietly.

After hesitating for a long time, he let go, but still didn't go in.

"With insufficient information, it is not a good thing to have rash contact with an infected person. It may even be counterproductive and increase his vigilance."

Xia Ren recalled the scene he had just seen and had more doubts: "The hint given by the infected body is very obvious. His host and Li Xin are brother and sister. But why did Sun Aihong try every means to hide this?"

He then thought about the little girl's reaction when her mother wanted to take her out to play.

"The little girl is very afraid of her mother. She must not have been for a day or two. It is not difficult to find from his father's attitude that the little boy's death must be related to Sun Aihong."

"Why did she kill her child? In the last scene, the little boy stood in the middle of the road, waiting for his sister to approach him. Could it be that he wanted to harm his sister?"

After just thinking about the problem for a while, I felt a dull pain in my skull again.

Both the infected body and Sun Aihong seemed to have done something bad to Xinxin. One was her mother, and the other was the infected body with her brother's memory. Xia Ren couldn't figure out the reason.

It seems that if you want to know the truth, you must find a way to obtain more information.

At present, when he does not have the strength to fight the infected body head-on, he can only use this complicated method.

"There was a pavilion on the way to Sun Aihong's house at noon. The old people inside were pointing at us. They must have some clues."

In order to resolve the matter as soon as possible, he took a taxi and returned to Sun Aihong's community.

There is an access control at the entrance of the community, but in the morning he went in directly with Sun Aihong and was not asked to register by the security guard. The access control management should not be strict.

As expected, it didn't take long before he found an opportunity and easily entered the community following a young man.

So far, everything has been going well, and Xia Ren feels a lot more relaxed.

Although it is now close to evening, it is still mid-July after all, and the sun is already moving westward, but the dazzling sunlight is still scorching the earth, and the irritating chirping of cicadas is endless.

In the pavilion in the distance, there were a few idle old people gathering together to enjoy the cool air and chat, and there were also a few chess players. Xia Ren rubbed his face to make himself look more energetic, and then walked over.

Several old people saw an unfamiliar young man coming over. At first they just glanced at him and didn't pay attention. Xia Ren was not in a hurry, he just stood behind an old man who was playing chess, silent, but he showed that he was very interested in chess, and no one took the initiative to chase him away.

Xia Ren just watched and thought about how to ask the old people.

He is not good at playing chess, but he only knows a little bit about it. The two old men who are playing are obviously very skilled. He can't see the purpose of the few moves. Often, when he sees it, the murderous intention is already revealed, isn't it? The general is a thief.

It seems difficult for Xia Ren to get acquainted with them by playing chess.

However, there are always more solutions than difficulties, especially as an outstanding young man of the 21st century, he knows how to use everything available, such as...smartphones.

At this time, the second game had just begun. When the old people saw him starting to take out his mobile phone to play, they thought he had lost interest in watching chess. They couldn't help but secretly sigh in their hearts that young people nowadays just don't have the patience.

But they soon discovered they were wrong.

Although the young man had been looking at his mobile phone and only occasionally returned his eyes to the chessboard, when the chess game entered the second half, the young man finally took action.

"Old man, you can't make this move like this."

Xia Ren seemed to mention it casually, but it made Professor Zhang opposite him change his expression.

He was just two steps away from killing his opponent. Who was this young boy who suddenly appeared?

Xia Ren didn't know that there is a saying that a true gentleman watches chess without speaking. Old Man Wan was a little unhappy at first when he reminded him. He thought, do you still need to teach me how to play chess?

But when he saw Professor Zhang's expression across from him, he immediately realized something was wrong. He moved his eyes back to the chessboard again. After looking at it for five minutes, his forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat.

"What a dangerous move!"

followed by "Who is this young man who appears out of nowhere?"

The same question, but with different meanings. Just now it was disdain, but now it's shock.

He had been playing chess for decades, and it took him five minutes to see the ultimate move. This young man pointed it out casually. Who wouldn't be shocked?

At this time, several people watching also noticed something unusual. Originally, after the young man interrupted, several people had a bad impression of him, but then they discovered that the two experienced chess players on the field seemed... ... hesitated?

"Who is this young man?"

The same question popped up in everyone's mind.

Professor Zhang is the undisputed chess king of several nearby communities. Few people can beat him in chess. Although this young man has some problems with his conduct, he can make Professor Zhang feel embarrassed at this time, and everyone is happy to see it.

Xia Ren, who had already been noticed by everyone, seemed relatively low-key and was still playing with his mobile phone. However, his reminders became more and more frequent. When everyone saw it, they did not stop him, let alone say anything, and they all watched silently. , what is incredible is that he points to the key points every time and delays the game at the most critical moment.

Slowly, Mr. Wan's disdain at the beginning gradually reached the point where he would ask Xia Ren with his eyes before every move. Only after receiving the latter's affirmation did he slap the piece on the chessboard with great enthusiasm.

His chess skills were a bit inferior to those of Professor Zhang. He was always forced to a dead end in games and lost the game in frustration. Now he finally had a chance to crush his opponent. How could he not be happy? Although this crushing relies on the young people behind you, as long as you feel comfortable, why do you care about so much?

In contrast, Professor Zhang was not so happy. Xia Ren had untied the traps he had painstakingly laid out several times, and now he had no advantage at all. He had to think about each move for a long time, which made him go crazy. If he hadn't been concerned about his identity, he would have stood up and punched Xia Ren to vent his anger.

Finally, after a few more minutes, Professor Zhang spread his hands and said, "I gave up."

"Old Zhang, you have today too, hahaha." Mr. Wan hadn't been so happy for a long time. He turned around and gave Xia Ren a thumbs up, "What a great young man. At this age, he is even better than us old men. He has a bright future." It’s limitless!”

"No, I just like to watch chess and talk about it on paper. If I really want to play by myself, I will definitely not be as good as you."

"Hahaha, that's right, I held back today, otherwise Lao Zhang would be no match for me." He cheered, attracting the contemptuous looks of everyone around him.

Especially Professor Zhang, who lost the game, was even more reluctant: "What's your name?"

"Xia Ren." He quickly answered.

It seems that the goal is almost achieved.

"Xia Ren... I don't have much impression." Professor Zhang muttered thoughtfully, and then said: "I won't believe it if you play the next game with me."

"Ah?" Xia Ren looked confused, "I..."

Before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Professor Zhang: "I know you got into old guys like us for no reason. You must have some purpose. If you stay with me in the next game, I will give you a chance, otherwise we won't have to talk."

Xia Ren still wanted to refuse, but Wan Laobo had given up his position and patted him on the shoulder: "Let Lao Zhang suffer!" He couldn't hide the excitement in his tone.

Xia Ren had no choice but to sit down.

Professor Zhang added: "Don't stand behind him, lest anyone remind you that we need to have a fair fight."

This sentence is obviously aimed at Xia Ren's indecent behavior just now, but this is exactly what Xia Ren wants. After all, someone behind him will definitely find something fishy in the phone. With his own strength, he will definitely lose.

"Since you are looking for abuse, don't blame me for not respecting the elderly and caring for the young."

"Snapped!"

Get on the gun.

He was still playing with his mobile phone in one hand, as if the game was no big deal.

Professor Zhang was angry and laughing at the same time, so he was distracted? You look down on me too much, watch me kill you without leaving a single piece behind!

ten minutes later……

Both cars died suddenly.

Professor Zhang's mentality has undergone some subtle changes.

Twenty minutes later...

On the other side, three pawns crossed the river.

Professor Zhang began to realize that something was wrong.

Forty-five minutes later…

"No more fun, no more fun." Seeing that he was about to be left alone, Professor Zhang finally collapsed, "You are simply bullying!"

Xia Ren turned off the chess master, a smile appeared on his lips, and received everyone's amazed eyes.

While playing on his mobile phone, he can still defeat Professor Zhang with ease. He is a master.

"Tell me, is there something wrong with the thesis, or do you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination in my name." Professor Zhang quickly adjusted himself and looked at him with admiration.

Xia Ren was stunned: "None of them."

Professor Zhang was also stunned, "You're not looking for me? Then what do you want to do with all your efforts?"

Xia Ren secretly glanced at the curious glances from all around and felt the pressure.

He lowered his head shyly and said hesitantly: "I want to inquire about a woman."
