Absolute Zone Zero: As a corpse, elegance needs no words

"However, this world is meticulously crafted, and it embraces a myriad of possibilities. Perhaps there's something there that can help you solve your puzzle."

The woman smiled mysteriously and said nothing more. She moved her fingers and the chess piece fell on the chessboard. Then she looked at Xuan Li and signaled him to place his move.

However, Xuan Li just picked up the chess piece, but did not let it drop. He held the chess piece with a dark and deep look in his eyes.

The woman thought Xuan Li was just thinking, but after waiting for a while, she saw that he still had no intention of making a move, so she asked with some doubt.

"what happened?"

Xuan Li was silent for two seconds, and then he spoke.

"This world is based on me. To be more precise, it was created based on my consciousness, right?"

Hearing this, the woman was stunned at first, looked at Xuan Li in surprise, but still nodded silently.

Seeing this, Xuan Li slowly closed his eyes.

The woman didn't understand what was going on and just waited quietly.

And when Xuan Li opened his eyes a moment later, the woman's expression had changed slightly. She vaguely felt that the world she lived in seemed to have changed a little.

"You once said that this is a projection of what New Airito looked like long ago. It looks so green and lush..."

Xuan Li spoke softly, his voice fell into the woman's ears, and then she saw the chess piece in Xuan Li's hand slowly fall.

And when the chess piece touched the chessboard, a strange wave suddenly emerged. The grass in the distance turned yellow in a very short time, and then died. In a very short time, green buds sprouted and grew rapidly.

"Maybe we should see what the new Ailidu looks like now."

As soon as Xuan Li finished speaking, the woman realized what Xuan Li was going to do. She did not stop him. After all, the purpose of the creation of this world was to help Xuan Li.

It's naturally a good thing that it can be useful to him right now.

"Then I'll wait and see."

The woman smiled slightly, then put down her hand.

Next, Xuan Li didn't think too much. The chess pieces kept falling, and the woman did the same. Although the speed of the two playing chess was not fast, it was definitely not slow.

As the chess pieces fell one by one, the blank spaces on the board became smaller and smaller, and the scene around the two of them changed accordingly.

The grass-covered field turned green, then yellow, then green again. The big trees beside Xuan Li and the woman kept changing between withered and lush, and their branches became thicker and thicker.

In just a few minutes, the surrounding world changed completely. The fields disappeared, and orange-yellow sand was everywhere. The air was filled with dust, and even the chessboards of the two were quickly covered with light sand.

However, the woman and Xuan Li did not care, because the sand soon disappeared, and was replaced by streams of water that gathered with the falling rain.

Soon, the accumulated water covered the legs of the two men, and even the chessboard was about to be submerged. Fortunately, the water level stopped before it was completely submerged, and only the surface of the chessboard was exposed.

The gurgling water flowed away into the distance, with no end in sight. However, the two men remained unmoved, ignoring the water that had submerged half of their bodies as nothing, and continued to place their pieces on the chessboard.

After more than ten seconds, the water receded and the ground dried up. The two men's clothes remained the same as at the beginning, as if the water had no effect at all.

Beside the two of them, the tree trunk that had long been dry began to sprout new buds as the surrounding scene changed, as if it were reborn. Weeds and shrubs also grew on the surrounding ground, full of vitality.

But soon, the entire tree and everything else disappeared in a fire, and the ground turned back into orange sand again.

The chess pieces fell one by one, and the scene continued to change.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Xuan Li placed the last piece, killing the woman's last chance to survive on the chessboard. With the placement of this piece, the entire game of chess came to an end.

Xuan Li slowly raised his head, looked at the woman with clear eyes, and smiled slightly.

"how?"

The woman sighed and said softly

"I'm really not very good at playing chess."

"That's not what I asked."

Xuan Li shook his head, but the woman's expression did not change. She naturally knew what Xuan Li was going to ask, and her answer just now was just intentional.

“This is a human city.”

“It’s truly spectacular.”

The woman glanced sideways, her eyes falling on the skyscrapers that filled the surrounding area. The moment Xuan Li placed the last chess piece, the surroundings had already turned into the appearance of the new Ailidu.

At this time, the two of them were in a park.

"Let's play another round."

Xuan Li took the initiative to speak, and the woman was a little surprised. After all, Xuan Li had never done this before. If he just stayed here without gaining anything, he would just feel that it was a waste of time.

But the woman nodded.

why not?

As the new chess game unfolded, a shadow vaguely appeared behind Xuan Li. The shadow was very similar to Xuan Li, or even exactly the same as him.

And every time, the phantom would make a move before Xuanli, always being ahead of Xuanli.

And Xuan Li will also place the chess piece where the phantom places it.

The woman looked up at the phantom, and she realized something. The phantom always made the first move, which was actually a manifestation.

That is the embodiment of the future.

"Things are set in stone. The future unfolds before you and me. Are you sensing time?"

Hearing this, Xuan Li shook his head slightly.

"I can't see it."

“And the future, in fact, cannot be presented.”

Xuan Li raised his hand and looked at the chessboard, and in the woman's eyes, a shadow had already placed a chess piece in a place.

However, Xuan Li did not land immediately this time, but stayed for a while longer.

As his move landed, the woman couldn't help but shrink her pupils slightly, because the position of this move was different from the phantom.

The phantom shattered in her eyes in an instant.

What has not happened is the future, but precisely because it has not happened, it cannot be presented. It is a chaos. But the moment it is confirmed, the future becomes the present and the past.

"You have a good idea..."

"But, this may not be true..."

The woman smiled.

Xuan Li did not say much, but smiled slightly and looked at the woman, then spoke softly.

"please."

……

"wake up?"

Early in the morning, in the civet cat's house, Qingyi was holding the little white cat and stroking it. She looked up at Xuanli who had just come out of the bedroom door and smiled slightly.

Xuan Li was still wearing his pajamas, and he looked at Qing Yi with sleepy eyes, somewhat surprised why she came to the Civet Cat's House today.

"Come to think of it, it's been a while since you've visited the Sheriff's Office to learn martial arts from me."

"By the way, how was the moving hole yesterday?"

"The Public Security Bureau is responsible for matters in the Janus District. They reported that the mobile hole suddenly shrank and disappeared. I think it was you who did it."
