Chapter 1 Demon
The night falls, the lights dim, and the moon rises.
Under the street lamp, in front of a chess stand, Ji Xing twirled the second cannon with three fingers, turned over the middle pawn and defeated the red seven pawn, raised his head and said, "Master, that horse just now shouldn't be eaten, now I'm driving the cart." , you can only dodge the car, and if you dodge the car, the bottom image will be lost.
The cannon is like a general at the bottom, only a sergeant. I will turn the cannon again. The heavy artillery is lore. You can only use veterans. If you are a veteran, you can’t hold it. Checkmate. "
This is a conventional abandoning horse flying knife (chess flying knife, referring to the layout of traps, most of which use lost pieces as bait to gain the upper hand or quickly attack and kill) in the game of the backhand screen horse. Ji Xing has gone through more than a thousand games, and is familiar You can go down with your eyes closed.
It is said that it is better to lose a son than to lose a first.
He was hit by a flying knife, and Zhuge Liang and his second uncle couldn't save him.
Seeing the gray-haired old man on the opposite side staring at the chessboard and falling silent, and those watching chess next to him also shaking their heads, Ji Xing said again: "If you abandon the car and save the elephant, you can hold on for a while, but...you see, it's getting late, I This side is also planning to close the stall and go home, we value peace, and I will not charge you for this game, how about it?"
The sign next to the chess booth reads: 'Remnant chess is 5 yuan per game, 50 yuan for cracking, 10 yuan for each game of chess, 50 yuan for winning, 20 yuan for guiding chess, splitting the details and talking about chess, small business, no credit. '
"Okay, old Zhang, don't even think about it, you can't even play against me, you still play with Xiao Ji?"
"The first two sets were obviously against you. Do you really think you have a chance to win?"
"Xiao Ji is very interesting. You won't be charged for this game. You only lost 20 yuan, so it's the tuition fee. Go home, go home."
The chess players next to him also advised Uncle Zhang.
But Uncle Zhang never said a word.
Ji Xing glanced at him strangely, and saw that the old man's eyes were red, his breathing was heavy, and besides the deep forehead lines, even the veins on his forehead had burst out.
Lost two games of chess, so angry?
Ji Xing froze for a moment, his expression changed drastically.
It's broken, I was hit by a flying knife!
Three games of chess won 20 yuan, and the old man lay down on the ground, 200,000 yuan may not be enough!
He hurriedly said, "Uncle Zhang..."
Stab it!
A sound of cloth being torn interrupted Ji Xing's words, and he saw that Uncle Zhang's fingertips stretched out with black nails, his arms swelled and thickened, his sleeves were torn, and thick black hair grew out!
His ordinary old man's face was torn and twisted, and at the same time as a stench filled the air, his whole body turned into a two-meter-tall black-haired monster!
"Oh shit!"
Ji Xinghun'er almost flew away in fright, threw the chess stand at the monster's face, turned around and ran away.
The monster swung its sharp claws, tore the chessboard into pieces, and rushed towards Ji Xing ferociously.
"It's a monster!!" The chess players who were watching chess also scattered and fled in all directions while Uncle Zhang transformed.
Xu lost the game and remembered the grudge, but "Uncle Zhang" only had Ji Xing in his eyes, and his big black hairy legs moved quickly, and the distance was shortened in an instant.
Just at the very moment, a crescent moon passed by in the air, and the running monster's head and neck were separated, and it ran another two meters according to inertia, and fell down with a plop, spraying black blood.
Ji Xing ran more than ten meters before he dared to look back and saw that the monster was dead. A handsome boy of sixteen or seventeen was standing aside with a knife in black, and he let out a long breath, panting rapidly.
"This is the first time I've seen an idiot monster who was exposed because of losing chess..." The young man waved to Ji Xing: "It's okay, we will take care of it here, and the hunters will protect everyone."
Ji Xing took a deep breath and gave the boy a thumbs up: "Great!"
"Huh?" The young man saw many people who were frightened by demons, and was a little surprised by Ji Xing's reaction. He was stunned for a moment, and then returned a shy smile.
Ji Xing glanced at the monster's corpse and the unnecessary chess stall, and walked home with lingering fear.
The town under the night is quiet and peaceful, people returning home from get off work are smiling, and there is still smoke rising in the distance, separated by a street, the appearance of monsters does not cause any trouble to people.
Some acquaintances asked Ji Xing, "Is the stall closed?"
Ji Xing replied: "It was accepted."
All the way home, after locking the door, Ji Xing cursed in a low voice: "Damn world, I'm scared to death."
He is a time traveler.
It has been almost a month since I traveled to this 'Monster Continent' from modern society.
On this demon continent, demons and humans have coexisted since ancient times.
Demons feed on human brains, eat human brains, and can inherit the memory and identity of human beings, changing their bodies and hiding in human society to prey on them.
Uncle Zhang just now is an example.
Obviously, the demon even inherited Uncle Zhang's habit of liking to play chess, and the smellier it is, the better. It even breaks its defenses when it loses.
Without being exposed for some reason, there is almost no way to see through the disguise from the change of personality habits.
When it comes to chess, Ji Xing feels strange about many places in this world.
Obviously, there is nothing similar to the historical development of the world before time travel, but there are chess, army chess, go and other chess games, and the inventor and invention time are no longer available, which made him suspect that there was a time travel like him in the long past By.
In this small town called 'Yangliu' where he lives, there are different races of people living there. There are Uncle Zhang and Uncle John, but they all speak Chinese with a perfect accent, even some details of language habits They are all the same, and everyone is accustomed to even popping out a few dialects occasionally.
The overall level of technology was probably at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, but as far as 'Ji Xing' knew, it had been at this level for at least several hundred years.
Maybe the two worlds are different?
Before crossing, there were no monsters, or maybe the larger city has used some high technology, but this remote town has not yet been exposed to it?
Ji Xing hasn't had the chance to visit other places yet. He heard that the wild is the domain of monsters, and he doesn't have enough money and strength to travel.
He has just passed through for a month, and he is still in the stage of adaptation and survival. He has no time to think about anything else. All that is left to him from his previous life is a bare house.
He is still unemployed and has no relatives.
If you don't make money, you will starve to death.
But Ji Xing was just an ordinary person before time travel, and there are soap and glass in this world, and he doesn't know where to start if he wants to make some inventions, not to mention that this world has extraordinary power.
It is impossible to work part-time.
After thinking about it, he found that his greatest specialty might be playing.
Before time travel, Ji Xing loved to play and knew how to play.
He is very good at all kinds of online games and board games. He is also well-known for football, table tennis, and badminton. Even for emerging board games and escape rooms, he is also a good player.
Most of them were useless, and after two days of investigation, he chose to set up a chess stand to make a living temporarily and accumulate his first fortune.
There is no city management in this world.
If he knows how to accept as soon as he sees it, and if the fee is appropriate, he feels that this should be safe, and he has indeed accumulated a small amount of wealth after a month.
Never thought that setting up a chess booth would be a human opponent, this world is too dangerous!
Although there are demon hunters patrolling the town, they are still unpredictable in case of an emergency.
Just like Uncle Zhang, wasn't he replaced by the infiltrating monster who quietly ate his brain?
Even if he was on the street just now, if Ji Xing reacted a little slower and ran a little slower, he wouldn't be able to wait for the demon hunter's rescue at all!
In that case, I'm afraid he...
With lingering fear in his heart, Ji Xing looked at the mirror and stretched out his tongue to lick the beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
I'm afraid he is also a monster...
It's exposed!
