Infinity: Our Zhongzhou team is really amazing!

Chapter 218 Shengtian Banzi
The rain outside the window poured down incessantly, and lightning shone on the building that once represented the pinnacle of power and wealth in Raccoon City, which was now crumbling in the wind and rain.

If it were any other Raccoon City, such a majestic rainy day would be spectacular, something that only happens once in more than a decade.

Even many people will be happy that the drought in Colorado has eased.

But now, after being destroyed and ravaged by zombies, Umbrella Team, Demon Team, and Zhongzhou Team.

It’s hard to say whether there are even a thousand living people in the entire Raccoon City, so naturally they can’t come to enjoy such a spectacular sight.

For Chu Xuan, who was playing the game on the top floor, the environment was even more dangerous.

The rain has entered the hall, and thunder and lightning are right in front of us, dyeing the game hall into the color of hell again and again, and the thunder is like the roar of a monster.

Confusion, fear, violence, and many dark emotions are constantly surging in this hall. The source of this evil power comes from the chessboard in the center of the room.

At this moment, the white pieces are scattered all over the chessboard, and the black pieces have already gained an absolute advantage. If it were a normal game, the white pieces would have surrendered long ago.

But this is a chess game that decides life and death.

Since some time ago, the sounds from the outside world have been unable to reach here. This is the only place in the world that still has life.

On the chessboard, the flames of war spread to every corner. There were 280 fierce battles, and the battle lasted until the last moment.

I'm afraid that even all the masters from ancient times to the present, both in China and abroad, would only sigh and even vomit blood and die when they saw this devastating scene.

But Chu Xuan still persisted.

His hair had turned completely white, and there were even age spots and wrinkles on his face. His sharp eyes had become cloudy, and it seemed as if he was about to fall asleep in the next second.

"What are you still holding on to?" The clone still looked the same.

He stood in front of the broken window, looking at the heavy rain outside, but the bullet-like raindrops could never get close to his body.

Rather than appreciating the scenery, it is better to say that it is cherishing the process of playing chess with another self.

"You've already lost."

"No one can be a match for Zheng Zha, who has overcome his inner demons. In just one minute, he can eliminate all the remaining of you."

"Heh." Chu Xuan chuckled, but did not face the distress and despair of the final outcome.

"That's how it should be."

He could also feel that some indescribable changes had taken place in the clone just now. Something emanated from his shadow, and the only light source above his head became much dimmer.

This is his ability to disrupt the entire chess game.

He forced the development of events to follow his established course.

Cheng Xiao's missed punch, Ming Yanwei's arrow that hit the weapon, and the clone Zheng Zha's final epiphany.

Everything is connected to each other, and the coincidence is inevitable.

Is it the prototype of the light of the mind?
cause and effect?

rule?

fate?

Chu Xuan didn't know why he was about to die, but his thoughts were still dispersing.

He shook his head, forcing himself to focus on the endgame.

I thought about it for half a minute, or a minute.

Chu Xuan could no longer tell the exact time. He picked up a white piece with trembling hands and followed his inner intuition for the first time.

Landed in the middle of the chessboard.

In the 282nd move, a simple elephant move stopped the darkness in mid-air, preventing it from spreading across the entire chessboard.

At first glance, this chess piece seems so lonely and brave, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and it is stuck in front of the blade of the black chess piece.

But it forms an ingenious connection with the other remaining white pieces and the broken dragon in the lower right corner, like an aurora penetrating the darkness.

The entire layout of the white pieces actually showed a feeling of resurrection.

The clone of Chu Xuan frowned, his eyes dimmed slightly, but his tone remained calm.

"It's a helpless choice. He can't stop it."

"Rather than letting him die in vain, it is better to preserve the fire for the future."

The clone Chu Xuan didn't know why he started to persuade his original body.

As if silently, some unfamiliar emotions began to grow and develop in his soul.

Is this emotion called compassion?

"He really can't be stopped."

Chu Xuan also stood up, his straight back slightly bent, but he still staggered to the floor-to-ceiling window and stood side by side with his clone under the dim rain.

He laughed, smiling at his own reflection in the floor-to-ceiling glass.

It was a very sincere and pure smile, like that of a newborn baby.

The clone of Chu Xuan was very puzzled. He didn't understand why Chu Xuan was laughing, nor did he understand why, in this situation, he hadn't sacrificed his rook to save his king.

It is not his style to use tactics that maximize losses.

"Rules." Chu Xuan suddenly said.

A strange light flashed in the clone's glasses and it looked at him.

"You mastered the rules, took advantage of them, and forcibly established unequal rules with the Zhongzhou team." Chu Xuan said slowly.

"From the death of Zhan Lan at the beginning to the awakening of the clone Zheng Zha, you and the remaining demon team's silence were used to exchange for the invisible advantage."

"That's why you cooperated with me so well and confronted me here, so that those demon teams outside could not join the battlefield."

"This is your ability, clone."

"Balance Maker." The replica pushed up its glasses and explained, "Double-A-level enhancements can forcibly establish an agreement and rules that are roughly equal between both parties."

The clone looked at the chessboard: "This game of chess is the agreement between you and me."

Chu Xuan sighed, "You really calculated everything. You sacrificed some potentially negative-scoring pieces in exchange for Zhongzhou's true combat power, and helped the clone Zheng Zha successfully overcome his inner demons."

"Not only did they destroy a large number of the Zhongzhou team's core combat forces, but they also protected these discarded pieces."

"You've taken the rules to their limit."

As soon as the clone Chu Xuan encountered a nuclear bomb attack, he realized that the Zhongzhou team had gained a huge advantage.

Therefore, he constructed three very simple team battle rules.

Rule one: In this team battle, both psychics are in silence.

It looked like the Zhongzhou team had gained, trading one for two. However, the Zhongzhou team lost connection to several battlefields, making many of their tactics unusable. The Demon Team's lone wolf style of play didn't require many psychics.

Rule 2: In this team battle, neither side can deploy all their combat power in one battlefield.

This rule, combined with the magic seal, forcibly reversed the Zhongzhou team's intention of outnumbering the opponent.

Rule three: In this team battle, the greater the loss of the Demon Team, the greater the blessing to the captain.

It was this rule that allowed the clone Zheng Zha to successfully enter the fourth level through the death of Zhao Zhuikong.

Of course, the double-A-level Libra Observer does not have the ability to forcibly reverse cause and effect like the Investiture of the Gods.

As a price, the "Balance Maker" clone Chu Xuan must not be able to directly participate in the team battle.

Otherwise, the rules he constructed would easily become ineffective or even backfire.

Moreover, this ability is not so mindless that it cannot affect invisible causes and effects. It can only affect individuals, and it is even more difficult to have a direct impact on strangers with insufficient intelligence.

But this seemingly fair rule agreement made the Zhongzhou team pay a huge price.

The clone Zheng Zha swept across Zhongzhou alone and even overcame his inner demons.

So if everything goes well, the Demon Team can wipe out Zhongzhou at a very low cost.

The clone Chu Xuan can also eliminate the unstable clone Zhao Zhuikong.

Kill many birds with one stone.

"It's so frustrating. Playing chess with you feels like playing chess in heaven. Almost every move falls into your calculations."

"Even if one step is slightly beyond your control, you can use the rules to forcibly erase my advantage." Chu Xuan said, sighing and shaking his head.

The clone didn't speak. This tone was not his style.

He never talks nonsense and tries to reduce metaphors, personification and imagery in order to improve the accuracy of language communication.

"You've entered the Inner Demon Realm." The clone looked deeply at its original body and said firmly, "As soon as you entered the fourth level, you entered the Inner Demon Realm. I guess it must have been nurtured by some external force in advance."

The replica was right.

In the duel with his other self, Chu Xuan was forced to constantly push himself to evolve, and his genetic lock surged forward.

Now, we have inevitably entered the fourth stage.

Because of the influence of the Supreme Heaven, Chu Xuan's inner demon is different from Zheng Zha's Great Freedom. It is complex and crazy, and its purpose from the moment it is born is to destroy everything.

Chu Xuan heard the knocking on the door getting louder and louder, and a last glimmer of light appeared in his eyes.

A sense of lightness arose spontaneously in Chu Xuan's heart.

If you want to destroy everything, then destroy yourself first.

Chu Xuan seemed to have regained his vitality. He walked briskly to the chessboard and picked up the white piece that had broken into two pieces.

The black pieces on the chessboard seemed to sense danger, and a dark, smelly smell surged out, just as the appearance of a demon must bring with it the stench of sulfur.

Chu Xuan didn't care. He looked up and saw the clone had returned to the chessboard, but his expression was no longer as relaxed as before.

It seems like he is constantly weighing something.

Chu Xuan grinned, completely unlike his previous cold appearance.

With a wild, gleeful, excited, and deadly smile, Bilibili's lightning flashed in the darkness, and the entire world suddenly went white. His vision reached the highest point above the layers of computing power, overlooking the entire chessboard from the universe.

He finally saw the way to win this game.

It was a rather large strategic concept, and only this concept could unlock the ultimate path to victory and defeat the seemingly invincible opponent before them.

He closed his eyes, not caring about rules or rationality, throwing away all patterns, and making a final counterattack based solely on his feelings.

Then, make your move.

Like a war eagle soaring into the sky, it let out its first cry.

The whole world felt the weight of this move.

Even if it is the heaven, I will win half of the battle!

On the chessboard, golden light and thick black fire clashed with each other!
Both sides launched the final offensive with their backs against the cliff!

Each chess piece becomes a filler of energy, and the colors of the entire chessboard are clearly differentiated.

On one side is the golden light, on the other side is the dark obstacle.

On the chessboard, the rules begin to emerge and the chess pieces become more concrete.

In the jagged mouth of the demon, the lone dragon that was broken into two pieces used its last breath to tightly support the heavy pressure coming from all directions!
Chu Xuan touched the dragon's head and dispelled its fear.

"It's okay, go ahead bravely!"

The lone dragon let out an earth-shattering roar, shattering its own consciousness to break free from the demon's restraints, and launched a desperate charge towards the weak point in the demon's belly!

boom!
The torrential rain that seemed to be about to bring the end of the world was stopped abruptly by a powerful force at that moment.

When Chu Xuan placed this piece on the chessboard, the replica's usually calm brows trembled slightly, as if it was beyond his expectations.

On the chessboard, the shattered white piece and the white piece that was holding up the sword overlapped, forming a brand new white piece that emitted a light as bright as the sky.

Under the light, the soul of the lone dragon that was cut into two pieces returned to its body as if it was fished out of a grave.

The golden light shone, and the dragon regained its full appearance, soaring in the sky as if it were reborn.

The rhythm of war drums beat on the chessboard, and sparks of electricity kept exploding in the darkness, like countless gears turning in disorder.

Kaala la, kaala la.

Computing power is increased by three times, five times, and ten times.

The pressure swept towards the clone like a tsunami, and sweat appeared on his forehead for the first time.

Astonishment, surprise, despair. Those frantic and contradictory emotions surged from all directions like tentacles in the darkness, and the ears were filled with the sounds of chaos and madness.

Awesome
He finally felt the pressure of this desperate situation.

Isn't this the evenly matched match he was looking forward to?
All his emotions turned into excitement, making him want to spin and dance on the spot.

But the next moment.

Snapped!
In the 288th move, the white chess piece escaped from Chu Xuan's hand, and the cold light hit the neck of the clone.

All the computing power rushed to this last part like a mighty army!
The giant dragon spun and broke through the raging waves of darkness with unstoppable force. The devil finally showed his fear of facing doomsday!

"If one piece doesn't work, then use two." Chu Xuan said with a smile.

The clone Chu Xuan stared blankly at the majestic dragon, without dropping the black piece in his hand.

With a loud roar, the dragon pierced through the demon's heart, and its limbs and bones disintegrated and shattered one by one.

All the darkness collapsed at this moment!
A crack appeared in the sky between dawn and eternal night. The crack continued to expand in an instant, and finally split into countless tiny fragments, which scattered to the earth in a colorful manner, like a meteor shower.

The clone suddenly turned around, and the dark clouds that originally covered the entire city were split into two pieces by a powerful strike.

Above the dark clouds, the long-lost morning light shines on the earth again.

Full of vitality, everything is in full swing.

The world's wounds are healing, and all laws are returning to their original order.

In the flickering light and dark, power was restored to the entire building.

"Hahahahaha!"

A crazy and chaotic laugh came out of the mouth of the clone Chu Xuan. The horror that made the hair stand on end was enough to make an ordinary person tremble with fear.

This kind of feeling shouldn't exist in him.

After laughing, the clone slowly raised its head with a confused expression.

He asked, "Inner demon?!"

"You infected me with your inner demons?!"

Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses and explained very patiently: "While you are constantly correcting yourself with the rules, my inner demons are also constantly invading you!"

"This is a two-way process and is completely irreversible."

The clone nodded. He just didn't expect Chu Xuan's inner demon to be so strange, but the inner demon is just the inner demon.

It just takes a little more time to solve.

He asked again, "With your brainpower and computing power, you shouldn't be able to sustain past 180 moves. Can you tell me why?"

The collar around Chu Xuan's neck flashed blue, and a mechanical female voice uttered, "Hello, Colonel's clone. I am Zhang Xiaoxue, the third-generation artificial intelligence."

"I see. Using artificial intelligence to deal with me only diverts a lot of energy away from the chessboard." Although the clone's tone was calm, his smile was twisted and crazy.

"It seems you have already gained the upper hand." The clone Chu Xuan stared at his original body intently: "Unexpected power."

He furrowed his brows and forehead, his veins bulging like tubes! It was as if the tubes were pumping not blood but boiling energy.

"But we haven't lost yet."

"because I--"

"No, you lose."

Click!

With the last explosion.

A monster named Chu Xuan's Demon broke out from the door of Chu Xuan's mind.

He roared that he would destroy the whole world.

Of course, the inner demon polluted by the Supreme Heaven must first destroy its host.

Thus, all nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine eyes in his body simultaneously looked at the man with glasses and a distorted face in front of him.

"Inner demon." It was as if the monster in front of him was a being that was born to restrain himself. The clone Chu Xuan showed a confused expression for the first time.

What the hell is this.
Up is down, left is right, and right is just wrong.

Wrong math, twisted rules, chaotic rules.

Infinite and infinite knowledge.

Why, there is such a illogical monster.

Fear, horror, despair and other emotions that should not have appeared in him.

"I didn't know how to trick the inner demon into staring at you."

"But your rules give me this loophole."

"You are not in the game." Chu Xuan pointed to the chessboard.

"And I'm in the bureau."

Emotions such as dullness, suspicion, and confusion kept emerging in the clone's mind. It took a long time for him to understand what the original meant.

"The inner demon just wants to destroy Chu Xuan. It doesn't matter which one it is. If it's a better one, it would be even better," he said slowly.

He stretched out his right hand and touched the shell of the inner demon.

The inner demon roared wildly, and its twisted limbs began to break apart uncontrollably.

The clone is invading the inner demon in reverse.

"I will help you." The clone's speaking speed began to slowly recover.

“That’s part of the deal.”

It seemed as if he was breaking free from the influence of his inner demons.

Chu Xuan shook his head: "This inner demon will definitely take someone away."

"But you have to kill him."

“That’s part of the deal.”

Faced with Chu Xuan's suggestion, the clone's face twitched, as if it was trying hard to suppress some pain.

Finally, he said, "Okay."

This is Chu Xuan's demon, born from extreme emotions, and it is also the inevitable path for the clone to complete itself and overcome the inner demons.

He couldn't refuse.

In an instant, the replica had weighed all the pros and cons.

Chu Xuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, then picked up the chessboard.

It hit the clone's head hard.

Blood splattered everywhere!
