The Way of the Blind Girl Chess Saint

…………

She silently closed her snow-white eyes, her snow-white eyebrows covering her eyelids like frost, and her snow-white hair gently slipped down.

After a few seconds of silence, Lü Kuangmei slowly spoke.

"Whether Ji Wanying is weak or not, you'll know once you have the chance to play against her and see for yourself."

Because the strengths and weaknesses of professional Go players are not similar... No one can say for sure.

“However…” Lu Kuangmei said softly.

"A dozen years ago at this time... many people thought that the current top professional eighth dan, Demon Hand Tearing the Sky Ji Zitong, was very weak... Ji Wanying is her daughter, right?"

Ji Zitong...

Ji Yingting frowned slightly. This wasn't the first time she had heard this name; yet another chess player from the Ji family.

Ji Wanying is that person's daughter... although An Ruotong never mentioned this to her.

However… my shrinking must be related to Ji Wanying!!

"Oh right, you just asked me what happened to Xiaotong? What happened?"

"An Ruotong...she's disappeared."

………………

! ! ! ? ? ?

Instantly, Ji Yingting's pale purple eyes widened.

"What do you mean? Missing?" Ji Yingting still didn't quite understand what Lü Kuangmei meant.

The word "disappeared" has more than just a simple meaning; only half an hour had passed since she left the venue.

"Could she have gotten lost in the restroom? That's why she went overtime?" An Ruotong got lost, that was her first thought.

You said "disappeared"... what does that mean?!

"No... not missing, I mean, she vanished, right before everyone's eyes, in an instant..."

"Are you kidding me?" Ji Yingting pursed her lips, giving him a look as if he were an idiot.

In this advanced age of spaceships, how can anyone awaken superpowers like teleportation?

Um!!??

Wait!! Superpowers? Not...human.

In that instant, Ji Yingting seemed to realize something, and her pale purple pupils turned into a dark green in shock. Lü Kuangmei also seemed to suddenly understand and shook her long, snow-white hair.

Humans do not possess superpowers; this is determined by the human genes within them…

Therefore, those with superpowers are not human.

That's right.

Lu Kuangmei also slightly opened her snow-white eyes, something that even anyone who has attended elementary school and read elementary history knows.

Hundreds of years ago, they were the dominant race in this starry sky...

A special race that has been driven out of the world by humans, they possess special abilities!

Da da da da...

When Ji Yingting and Lü Kuangmei returned to the scene wearing small cloth boots, they sensed the extremely eerie atmosphere.

Although it was invisible to the naked eye... Ji Yingting could feel a chilling aura lingering in the venue, dark and cold, chilling to the bone.

Soon, the entire Black Phoenix was filled with beeping alarms. A professional chess player had disappeared right under everyone's noses. This was no small matter, and the entire StarCraft network was in an uproar.

With today's advanced technology, if she didn't disappear without a trace, how could we possibly not even find a little girl? Especially on the Black Phoenix, which is so well-equipped and technologically advanced.

Although they only suspect it for now, An Ruotong... she may have already been captured by that group of people.

And why? Why arrest chess players... why arrest professional chess players, and why arrest An Ruotong?

At this very moment... the chess players who have mysteriously disappeared are definitely not just, nor are they only, An Ruotong.

Who else... has disappeared?

"The Scorpion Cup... has to be temporarily cancelled. Although I don't know why their target is Go players, all professional Go players are in danger right now and need protection."

Chapter 312: Ji Yingting's Nightmare

"yawn……"

In the brightly lit hall, Ji Yingting, a beautiful girl with long, light green hair, gaped, her already narrowed eyes shrinking even further. Curled up against the cold wall, Ji Yingting was wrapped in a large white blanket.

I'm a little sleepy, I really want to go to sleep.

Ji Yingting buried all her light green hair between her hands and muttered softly.

A day has passed, and An Ruotong is still nowhere to be found.

All the chess players participating in the Scorpion Cup qualifiers were urgently summoned to the basement of the Black Phoenix, which was under police guard.

The basement passageway was somewhat narrow, with impenetrable steel walls. Patrolling guards circled around, making it exceptionally secure from a defensive standpoint. Burning chandeliers hung at each section of the passageway.

Are professional Go players their primary targets?

Although it may sound harsh, professional Go players are always under strict protection until other cases emerge.

"To be honest, there's no need to go to such lengths, is there? How much longer are we going to be stuck here...?"

Across from Ji Yingting, a girl with a black ponytail complained softly, wondering which planet she was a representative chess player from.

Everyone was a little downcast, perhaps because the competition had been canceled.

Originally, the Scorpio Cup was a rare opportunity for many people.

As for the disappearance of chess players, unless it happens to them personally... they probably won't care much.

"Xiaotong...where did she go?"

Hua Shenxi nervously fiddled with her fingers.

Her long, pink, pear-shaped hair clung gently to her back; she was incredibly depressed, her nails almost bitten raw.

She... had always kept an eye on her, and had always paid close attention to An Ruotong, quietly.

Hua Shenxi knew everything about her, including her resentment at losing to herself, her efforts, her talent, and her pride.

However, the black-haired, red-eyed girl who used to always pester her for fun has stopped talking to her much.

I feel a little lonely, but... I'm also very happy that she can become so dazzling.

"So, why... are you leaving? At a time like this?"

Tick, tick.

A few tears streamed from Hua Shenxi's eyes as she softly sobbed.

Waaaaah!!

Hey……

Upon hearing Hua Shenxi's cries, Ji Yingting sighed softly and covered her little green head even more tightly.

Waaaaah, waaaah.

Soon, the crying was no longer from one person; there were other cries as well.

Ok?

In complete darkness, under the black blankets, Ji Yingting's pale purple eyes widened slightly.

What's going on? This sudden, intense chill on my back is so cold and icy.

Ji Yingting is not afraid of ghosts, nor is she afraid of nightmares.

But honestly, at this moment, it was as if an eye had suddenly opened in the wall behind her, secretly watching her.

A greenish-blue ahoge (cowlick) suddenly rose up. Ji Yingting wanted to shout, but couldn't open her little mouth.

Waaaaaah!

Listen carefully, and you'll hear that Hua Shenxi's crying has disappeared, leaving only... a slightly eerie lament.

"Shh..."

Suddenly, a clear, ethereal voice rang in Ji Yingting's ears, gentle yet carrying a chilling undertone.

"Is it because you're blind? You seem to be able to sense things that others can't... However, this time, the target isn't you."

A cool breath brushed against Ji Yingting's ear, and her heart skipped a beat.

After that voice fell, Ji Yingting felt much more relaxed, and she immediately screamed in surprise.

"Aa ...

"Aa ...

"Aaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"

Although Ji Yingting's voice is very pleasant, but...

Such a sudden scream is quite startling, especially in an atmosphere that was so quiet and oppressive just a moment before.

Ji Yingting's scream startled many timid female chess players, and the echo in the passage was quite loud, drawing stares from others who looked at her as if she were an idiot.

"Who is it?!"

"Aa ...

"Stop screaming! Are you all crazy?!"

In the blink of an eye, chaos erupted inside the underground passage.

...........

"Ah! I was wrong!! Nightmares are so scary!!"

Three small, bluish-green hairs stood up like propellers on her head, startling Ji Yingting so much that she crouched down, covering her head in fear.
