Misty Chess Game!

Ring ring.

As the wind chimes swayed, Meng Qing slowly opened his eyes in a bamboo grove pavilion.

"They failed over there."

The Night King, sitting on the other side of the pavilion, turned his head. "How did you determine that?"

"I have my own clever plan," Meng Qing said, picking up the teapot and making himself a cup of tea.

Night King twirled the teacup between his fingers. "It doesn't matter if we fail. This raid was just to test Bai Ye's attitude."

"Let's also delve deeper into his abilities; after all, knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory."

"The Mother Coffin provided by 009 is the basis for our test this time, but if Bai Ye realizes this and deliberately does not kill, then things will be troublesome."

The immortality mechanism of the Mother Coffin is that if the deceased's body dies, it will be reborn in the Mother Coffin.

However, the regeneration of the Mother Coffin is very slow, and it is a gradual process of healing.

If the body inside the coffin is destroyed at this time, it is equivalent to breaking the immortality and dying in the true sense.

This explains why Bai Ye attacked with orange juice, and why Arthur and Zhang Yuanqing were pushed onto the operating table by the computer.

If the orange juice attack is ignored, it can directly penetrate the Mother Coffin, so external force must be used to keep the two of them alive.

"However, even in the worst-case scenario, they should still be able to commit suicide."

"Not necessarily."

Meng Qing sniffed the tea, then casually poured it on the ground. "Bai Ye's abilities are ever-changing and bizarre. I wouldn't be surprised if they were beaten so badly they couldn't fight back."

The Night King frowned. "Why do I always feel like there's something hidden in your words?"

Meng Qing looked at the Night King and said, "That's just your imagination."

The Night King crossed his arms over his chest, looking thoughtful. "Indeed, others may not be, but the Queen will definitely return."

As soon as the two finished speaking, a figure suddenly walked into the pavilion from outside the bamboo forest.

The newcomer, dressed in high heels and an evening gown, was one of the Queen Bee's clones, 004.

The Night King turned his head. "And the result?"

"A crushing defeat."

The Queen Bee said, "Bai Ye has seen through your plan. It will be difficult for them to return using the Mother Coffin."

Unlike other sequences, Queen Bee 004 did not use the Mother Coffin of Queen Bee 009 because she did not need it.

She simply transferred one of her many clones over.

For her, that clone was dispensable and could be recalled at any time.

So she is the core of this test. The others can't come back, but the Queen Bee will definitely come back. However, this description may not be appropriate, because she didn't go at all.

"Give me your assessment of Bai Ye and White King's abilities."

The Queen Bee took her seat. "As it stands, Bai Ye's ability lies in those two streams of energy, one black and one white. It's simple in some ways, but complex in others."

"The simple reason is that I have figured out the nature of the two energies. Black energy is mainly offensive and can destroy all things, while white energy is mainly defensive. However, white energy can transform into countless things, and its offensive power is equally significant."

"What's more obvious is that he used white vapor to transform into a sword and smashed the gargoyle to pieces."

"But I say his abilities are very complex, and the black and white energies usually appear behind him in the form of incarnations."

"Those two avatars are very strong, but they are not limited to the avatar state; they can also directly transform into weapons."

"But this time, he didn't use much white energy; he mostly used black energy."

"As for the attack power of the black energy, let alone the third rank, even the fourth rank would be able to cause injury if it did not have the characteristics of immortality or Absolute Trait."

Upon hearing this, the Night King looked at the Queen Bee, "Have you noticed that Bai Ye always wears two pendants around her neck?"

"Do you mean the Tiger Talisman that was split in two?" the Queen Bee asked.

The Night King nodded. "In the earliest days, I remember that the Nine-Tailed Fox had nine people who possessed similar avatar abilities to him. They internally called them the Ten Heavenly Stems."

"Until later, only one Bai Ye remained within the Ten Heavenly Stems."

"A more reasonable explanation is that Bai Ye absorbed the power of the other nine people into one."

"But the power of the nine people was not completely integrated. So, Bai Ye used the power of the Tiger Talisman to balance the Yin and Yang of the power of the ten people in his body and integrate them together."

You mean...?

"If we take away the Tiger Talisman, the Yin-Yang Two Energies of the Bai Ye might collapse on their own," the Night King said.

The Queen Bee pondered for a moment, "Perhaps your theory is valid, but putting it into practice will be extremely difficult."

"If I remember correctly, your ability is to nullify all abilities, right?"

The Night King affirmed, "That's right, but you must understand that my ability is not Absolute Trait, and it has triggering conditions."

"I must touch Bai Ye to nullify his power, so I must minimize the risk."

Upon hearing this, Meng Qing stood up and picked up the Demon Blade on the table. "If those people could follow your orders, the problem would be much simpler."

"Isn't that so?"

Bai Ye sighed and shook his head upon hearing this, "There's nothing we can do. This is what the Night Watcher like. We are weak, which is why we need to stick together for warmth."

"If they are strong, they can establish themselves as kings."

"After all, in this world, only cattle and sheep travel in herds, while wild beasts always roam alone."

The people Meng Qing mentioned were also those who came out of the Game Space; they were the ones after sequence 30.

Those individuals were exceptionally capable, and it was precisely because of this that they completely ignored the Night King's invitation.

Because they are strong enough, they naturally feel that they don't need to stick together with the Night King and his group for warmth.

Those Night Watcher do so because of their own lack of ability.

It's a very simple and easy-to-understand principle: if one can establish oneself as king, who would want to be subordinate to someone else?

This is the origin of those scattered, unorganized sequences.

Meng Qing left, and as Night King watched his retreating figure, he felt even more that Meng Qing was a strange person.

Of course, this doesn't mean he doesn't reveal his true face, but rather that his actions give people a strange feeling.

He seems to know everything, as if he understands everything perfectly, but he just won't explain it clearly.

He rarely speaks, and when he does, it's only in a very subtle way, hinting at something.

This feeling of not being able to see through things is just like Bai Ye; the more you understand her, the harder it is to comprehend.

Meng Qing walked through the bamboo forest, passing through a cobblestone path, where dew dripped from the bamboo leaves onto their surfaces.

Today is October 4th.

Meng Qing was talking to himself when suddenly everything went black.

Um?

Meng Qing turned his head, and a ball of fire appeared in the darkness.

Under the firelight, a chessboard was revealed.

A blurry white figure sat in front of the chessboard, holding a chess piece.

"Nice to meet you, Seth."

Looking at the chessboard, Meng Qing suddenly realized what it was.

The Nine-Tailed Fox's Containment Object.

α006: The Misty Chess Game

Its effect is that as long as one person picks up a white piece and thinks of someone, that person will be pulled into the Misty Chess Game no matter where they are.
