Chapter 489 I should call you another name
two days ago.
The ninth floor of Dawn Tower.
A screen with the ghost king's face split the light. The high priest's straight figure sat on the dividing line between black and white. Half of the silver mask was exposed in the light and half was hidden in the darkness.
Although he was sitting upright, his whole person had an indescribable sense of relaxation and elegance.
On the chessboard, the black and white pieces were intertwined with each other, surrounding and attacking each other. Sitting opposite, a man wearing a pig-head mask was trembling and spoke excitedly.
"I'm going to win. If you promise, will it still count?"
"of course."
When the pig-headed man heard this, his offensive became even more fierce. Bai Zi was almost eating up Heizi. The situation gradually became clear, and Heizi was almost defeated.
After Jiang You was brought to the door, the silver robot left.
He left her there alone and didn't tell her anything else.
So she simply leaned on the doorstep and watched the two people playing chess.
The man with the tall figure, silver mask, and bloody robe could be the high priest at first glance.
Especially those hands, they were exactly the same as in the photo Xu Rizhao gave her. They were slender, with well-defined joints, and there was a small mole just right at the tiger's mouth on her right hand.
Jiang You had never seen the man wearing a pig head mask opposite.
Even though she had seen a lot of bloody scenes, she still felt a little uncomfortable when she saw the pig-headed man.
Because the pig head is not a headgear made from a mold, but a real pig head.
Even the pig's head looked very fresh, and the wound at the neck port was still full of bright red flesh.
Every bristle on the pig's head is extremely realistic, and the black stains on the folds seem to exude a strong odor. The eyes of the pig's head have been gouged out.
Behind the empty eye sockets was a pair of gloomy human eyes, looking at Mo Fei as if he was spitting poison.
Seeing a dark-skinned woman suddenly appear at the door, the pig-headed man was stunned for a moment. Seeing that the high priest turned a blind eye to the woman, he did not say a word and continued the chess game in his hand.
Soon, his mood hit rock bottom.
The white piece in the high priest's hand fell gently, teasing the black piece like a cat playing with a mouse. He seemed to be able to see through his opponent's mind.
No matter which step the pig-headed man takes, he can do it with ease. When the pig-headed man is on the verge of despair, he gives a glimmer of hope and appreciates his struggle.
The pig-headed man nervously grasped the armrest of the chair, beads of sweat dripping from the back of his hands.
Ten minutes later, the situation was clear and the outcome was self-evident.
Jiang You doesn't know how to play chess, but she has heard before that people who are good at chess are usually very thoughtful.
The silver mask concealed the master's expression. The black and white colors in his hands were no longer a simple opposition. Those slender hands kept fiddling with the situation, and the invisible place outside the Dawn Tower was changing.
There was a sunspot between his slender index finger and middle finger, and it slowly fell down.
The fate of the pig-headed man has been determined.
"You lose. In exchange, you will never be able to take off the mask on your head in this life."
A cold voice came from behind the silver mask. He crossed his hands on his chest, his posture was very upright, and his tone was soft, but with unquestionable certainty.
"No, no, this isn't right. It's not like this! You lied to me!"
The pig-headed man suddenly became excited and stood up from his seat. But before he could stand up completely, a petite figure wearing a Suzaku mask suddenly walked out of the shadows.
Her thin figure was wrapped in a black robe, and her slender palms lightly landed on the pig-headed man's shoulders.
"No loud noises."
Even the voice he spoke was small and timid.
Listen to this voice, it's a little girl.
As soon as this sound came out, the pig-headed man's figure seemed to be frozen for an instant, his face was extremely ferocious, but his body uncontrollably sat back to its original position.
"No! No!"
"High Priest, you promised to let me go, you promised to let us leave, the White Dragon Base is gone, and you promised to leave a glimmer of hope for the Gu family!"
The pig-headed man shouted angrily.
After hearing about Bailong Base and Gu Family, Jiang You took a serious look at the pig-headed man in front of him again.
Now, she was sure that the high priest of Dawn Tower deliberately let her see this scene.
This man wearing a pig head mask is probably related to the Gu family.
High Priest, "I said I would let you go, but you were too greedy and fell into a trap, didn't you?
You may be able to survive in the Tower of Dawn, but if you fall into the hands of some people, it will be called a disaster..."
His tone of voice was neither hasty nor slow, and gentle. If you just listened to his voice, he was a very gentle person.
You can even associate this voice with the image of a handsome guy as gentle as jade.
But the next second, I heard the handsome guy continue to say in a gentle voice, "Suzaku, take him down and let the execution hall sew this pig head on his head forever. This is the price of losing.
By the way, let Master Lu practice his stitches and make them look better. This person is a special prisoner. "
"I know." The thin voice sounded again.
The pig-headed man was being dragged out by two people while yelling hoarsely.
The man in black robe wearing a red bird head mask paused when passing Jiang You, looked at her deeply, and then left.
"Do you like playing chess? Do you want to play a game?"
The high priest invited Jiang You politely.
"Thank you, I don't know how to do this." Jiang You shook his head very neatly.
The stakes are so high when playing chess in Dawn Tower. If you lose, you will really become a pig's head forever.
She didn't want to go back to Longshan with a second senior brother's head on her neck.
The high priest didn't force himself, he stood up and sat down in his seat, and then made a gesture to please sit down.
Jiang You sat down and in an instant, someone closed the door from outside.
The room instantly became darker. The dancing candlelight was not enough to support the light of the entire tower. The silver mask directly opposite looked a bit cold.
The high priest said nothing, waiting for Jiang Youxian to lose his composure.
Jiang You didn't say anything. She was not in a hurry anyway. At this time, whoever spoke first would be at a disadvantage.
Since the high priest saw her, it proved that she was on the right track.
So she looked around, taking in everything she saw.
A few minutes later, the high priest's voice sounded again in the empty tower, "Chen Jiang, a third-level superpower user. His superpower attributes are wind and space, right?"
In the end it was he who broke the deadlock first.
Jiang You nodded, before she could speak.
The high priest continued, "Or... I should call you another name... Jiang You."
