People in Terra, poor and weak but invincible

Chapter 861 Let’s Go Our Separately

Lao Li shook his head and was surprised to find that while he was dazed, he had been transferred from the top of the mountain to an exquisite and ancient room.

"What happened? Where is this?"

Lao Li looked around and found that all his companions had disappeared, leaving only him.

"Liang Xun? Qi Yan? Miss Nian?"

Faced with the strange things happening before his eyes, Lao Li didn't dare to act rashly. He sneaked around and kept shouting to the people around him.

But in the empty room, not to mention any responses from other people, even Lao Li himself didn't respond.

This situation made Lao Li take a breath.

"What is this? I climbed a mountain once in my dream, and now it's happening again. Is this also a dream?"

Lao Li scratched his face. Facing the fight between these gods, he, a mortal, was dragged into it and was truly powerless to resist.

"more or less."

A man's voice suddenly sounded in the room.

Lao Li was frightened and after a careful examination, he felt a chill in his heart.

He discovered that the voice of the person who was speaking was exactly the same as his own, with the only difference between the two being the tone of voice.

"Who are you?" Lao Li looked behind the screen inside the room following the voice.

"You should have guessed it long ago." Wang replied.

Lao Li licked his lips, and after a brief struggle between his conscience and his desires, he decided to walk past the screen and face the other party.

The screen blocked the light, making the already dim room even darker. A table, a chessboard, and a person whose face was hidden in the shadows made up all that was behind the screen.

Even if the other person's appearance could not be seen clearly, how could Lao Li not recognize himself?

That person is clearly another me!

"Please sit down." Wang invited.

Lao Li hesitated for a moment, but finally sat down calmly.

It is obviously not a wise move to rashly anger the other party. The right thing to do is to delay time as much as possible while the other party seems to be relatively calm.

Seeing Lao Li's cooperation, Wang was obviously in a happier mood.

"Sir, do you have something to talk to me about?" Lao Li asked tentatively.

Wang said calmly: "I thought you would ask me something else first, such as why I used your image."

"You can use it if you want. We don't dare to ask you for a portrait fee." Lao Li smiled awkwardly. "But since you have mentioned it, can you help me solve some of my doubts?"

"You are useful to me." I hope you can give me a frank answer.

"What's the use?"

"Your body, your identity, your blood."

Old Carp: “…”

Sometimes, he felt that there was no need for the other party to be so straightforward.

For the first time, he missed those annoying roundabout ways of talking when doing business with people.

"We are all Yan people, so we should be more reserved when speaking." Lao Li laughed dryly.

"Haha, to be honest, it feels really good to talk like this." Wang also laughed.

Lao Li was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.

He raised his head, but although he could not see the other person's face clearly as it was hidden in the shadows, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate everything as he carefully examined the person in front of him.

"You are learning from Lord Qi Yan." Lao Li said affirmatively.

"Unfortunately, there are some things I am destined not to learn." Wang suddenly picked up a chess piece and asked, "Let's play a game?"

"Go? I'm not good at it." Lao Li consciously skipped the previous topic, "If it's Gobang, I know a little bit."

"Sure. Anyway, the rules of chess are set by people. Playing any chess game is just a fight within the established rules."

Looking at a black piece falling in the center of the chessboard, he said, "If you want, you can play Gobang and I'll play Go."

The corners of Lao Li's mouth twitched twice, and he made his move obediently according to the rules of Go.

The black and white chess pieces fell to each other, and the people on both sides of the chessboard stopped talking, seeming to be completely immersed in the game.

After a while, Lao Li watched a black dot fall, and finally couldn't help but said with a little toothache:

"You play chess without rules."

"Because you are too weak." Wang said bluntly.

Lao Li had a look of hurt pride on his face, and he started to lose control of his moves and made them randomly.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Wang asked.

"What will happen if I lose?" Lao Li asked back.

"If you lose, you lose. It's just a game."

Wang's answer surprised Lao Li a little.

He originally thought that Wang was pulling him to play chess, and the hidden meaning behind it was that this game would decide the outcome. Once he lost, Wang would directly take over his body.

Seeing Lao Li's confusion, Wang explained: "Qi Yan said he would protect you."

Hearing this, Lao Li threw the chess piece directly onto the chessboard:

"Since you said so, then it's easy. I admit defeat and I don't want to play anymore."

Wang was not annoyed: "Then we will have to wait here for a long time, won't you feel bored?"

"what are you waiting for?"

"Wait for Qi Yan and my three sisters to finish dealing with the small gifts I prepared."

"what gift?"

"A big test that the Grand Master hopes for, and a self-reflection that Qi Yan has collected from the people around him."

"Can't understand."

"You don't need to understand."

Wang stretched out his hand and swept across the chessboard, and the endgame on the board was immediately cleared.

"Another game?" Wang invited.

Lao Li looked at the empty chessboard and fell into deep thought.

Just as he was about to reach out to grab the chess piece, the door of the room where the two of them were was suddenly pushed open.

"anyone there?"

Qi Yan's voice came from outside the door.

Old Li's face lit up with joy.

Wang Ze couldn't help but let out a sigh and asked:

"Why did you come here now? Those people and things outside didn't affect your steps at all?"

Qi Yan walked past the screen, saw the chess board in front of him and immediately understood what was happening.

He walked over, pushed aside Lao Li, and sat down opposite Wang:

"It's so funny, you don't even look at where we are."

Wang was obviously puzzled: "Apart from my sister, what else is so special about Shang Shu marrying Jiang Feng that is worth paying attention to?"

"You also said that this is Qujiangfeng, in the mountains."

Qi Yan held a white piece, indicating that Wang could make the first move, and said with a smile: "You want to use the safety of those people to involve me, but you will never expect that you are destined to be unable to involve me."

"Why? Don't you care if those people fail to pass their own inner interrogation?"

"No, it's just because I'm a nimble dog in the mountains."

"..."

Wang and Lao Li fell silent at the same time.

After a moment, Wang asked, "Are you lost again?"

Qi Yan glared at him and said, "How can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air? My sister was right beside me just now, how could I be lost?

I specifically asked Ling to send me in. As for Liang Xun and the others, it’s not that I don’t care, but I’m not worried.”

"interesting."

I hope you won’t ask any more questions, and once again I’ll take the black chess piece and place it at Tianyuan.

The moment he made his move, Qi Yan held the white piece at his fingertips, grabbed the chess pot with his other hand, and poured all the white pieces in it onto the chessboard.

Wang and Lao Li watched the black piece being submerged by the white pieces and were dumbfounded at the same time.

"You...what are you doing?" Wang asked puzzled.

"Of course, playing chess. It's your turn next." Qi Yan said as a matter of course.

"No, what do you call playing chess?"

"Sorry, I'm playing Wanning Go."

Qi Yan said sorry, but his hands showed no dissatisfaction. He reached out and grabbed the black chess jar in front of him: "The move just now was called Heaven and Earth Harmony, and this move is called Rolling and Packing. If you are stunned for a while, my shooting method will be fully charged."

As he spoke, Qi Yan showed the white piece he had just picked up, bent his fingers to gather strength, and pointed it at Wang's brows from a distance.
