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

"A blank space?"

"Nothing will be left behind."

"This little world is based on your consciousness, which means that everything you care about will be gone."

The woman spoke softly, lowering her eyes and staring at the chess game on the board. When Xuan Li heard her words, he raised his eyebrows.

"It's really a vast expanse of white, the earth is so clean..."

Xuan Li chuckled and didn't seem to feel pressured by the woman's words. The woman made another move and then looked up at him.

"You are quite optimistic."

"Optimism? Shouldn't this be called confidence?"

Xuan Li also raised his hand and made a move. The woman shook her head slightly and spoke again.

"Blind confidence is not a good thing."

Xuan Li's expression became slightly more serious, because he found that the woman's moves had become more unpredictable, and the chess situation on the board became confusing.

It seems that as she said, blind confidence is not a good thing.

Xuan Li held a black piece between his slender fingers, hovered it in the air for a moment, and then landed it on the chessboard.

As the chess piece fell, he also spoke

"Both recklessness and cowardice are faults, and courage is the compromise between these two extremes."

"But it is better to be too brave and reckless than not brave enough and be cowardly. Extravagance is closer to the virtue of generosity than stinginess, and recklessness is closer to true courage than cowardice."

"So, being confident and singing with confidence is much better than being timid. Besides, what else can we do besides being confident? How can we accept the outcome of having nothing?"

"I can't accept it."

Xuan Li shook his head, and the chess game on the board became increasingly blurry, as if shrouded in a layer of fog.

"You just like to talk nonsense."

The woman simply said this with an unchanged expression, her attention still focused on the chessboard.

Hearing this, Xuan Li smiled.

"Let it be a twisted theory, but you still have to be at ease. After all, I'm confident, not conceited. And confidence is just a mentality. Caution is not a disaster for me."

"I know."

The woman nodded slightly. She was just preaching out of habit, not because she thought Xuan Li was really arrogant.

"Tsk, your chess skills are getting better and better. After everything is over, maybe we can play against each other more often."

Xuan Li sighed. Playing chess with Qing Yi always felt like being abused, so the experience was naturally not as good as it was now.

Of course, if you put aside the chess playing experience, playing chess with Qingyi is undoubtedly a pleasure.

"I'm afraid it won't work."

"I'm leaving."

Xuan Li's words fell into her ears, the woman shook her head and spoke softly.

"leave?"

Xuan Li was slightly stunned and a little surprised. He thought the woman would stay in this small world of consciousness for a long time, and the farewell came a little suddenly.

But after a moment's distraction, Xuan Li accepted the news and said with a smile:

"Perhaps this is the last time we see each other?"

"You're about to leave, but you're still testing me."

The woman sighed softly, silently thinking about Xuan Li's question in her heart, looked at him meaningfully, but did not answer.

"How can this be called a test..."

Xuan Li naturally would not admit it. While the two were talking, the game on the chessboard had not yet ended. The preliminary layout had been completed and the fighting stage had begun.

"Okay, I'm going to get serious!"

The woman straightened her posture, as if to cheer herself up, and her expression became serious as she said.

At this moment, she was more lively and no longer as calm and composed as before. She began to pay attention to the outcome of the chess game.

Xuan Li also took this matter more seriously.

"In the last round, we really need to distinguish the winner and loser."

As he finished speaking, both sides began to fight seriously, but as time passed, Xuan Li's expression became more and more solemn.

Later on, the time it takes for the black pieces to fall is often dozens of times longer than that for the white pieces to fall.

It is obvious that Xuan Li is at an absolute disadvantage.

It was not until the woman's last move completely cut off Xuan Li's dragon momentum and turned most of the black pieces into dead pieces that Xuan Li wisely admitted defeat.

I have played chess with women so many times, but this was the first time I lost, and also the first time I was completely defeated.

After the outcome was decided, the woman looked at Xuan Li who was looking at her strangely, and chuckled twice with her hands covering her mouth.

"What? Surprised?"

"Haha, come to think of it, I've played against you so many times, and I haven't lost a single one..."

"If I only won one game, how can I say I didn't lose a single game?"

"Then I was always giving in to you."

The woman smiled, and there was a bit more amusement between the two of them, but this didn't delay her departure.

"Okay, I should leave now."

"After I leave, my small world of consciousness will also collapse."

"Take this time to feel it again."

The woman stood up and gave Xuan Li a few words of advice, saying that the small world and her purpose mentioned before had not yet been achieved.

Xuan Li nodded when he heard the words. He did not ask her why she left, nor did he ask whether they would meet again in the future.

To be honest, the friendship between the two sides is not that deep.

It was just because of some common reasons that we traveled together for a short period of time.

"By the way, if you want to further ensure the success of your plan, I suggest repeating the previous battle with the clone."

"you understand me."

Before leaving, the woman reminded Xuan Li, and Xuan Li naturally did not hide the matter of the replica. The two also discussed some matters before playing chess.

"Well...I see."

Xuan Li thought about it and nodded. His inner plan became more complete and he was just waiting for the meeting later.

The woman looked at Xuan Li and nodded, then turned and walked towards the edge of the blank world.

In the pure white world, the woman was wearing a pure white dress. As she took steps, the dress seemed to change little by little.

Looking at the woman's back, Xuan Li narrowed his eyes slightly.

This body... always feels a little familiar...

The woman's figure became increasingly blurred, but at the last moment before she disappeared, she stopped as if she wanted to remind Xuan Li of something.

Xuan Li raised his eyebrows, but the woman didn't say anything. She just turned her face to the side and looked at Xuan Li.

Their eyes met, and the corners of the woman's mouth rose slightly as she smiled softly.

Then she turned and left without staying any longer.

The black hair fluttered with the movement of the body, and dissipated along with the body, and the last thing that left in the pure white package was the end of the hair.

Only when the woman's figure completely disappeared did Xuan Li come to his senses. The chessboard in front of him had disappeared.

Xuan Li looked at the small world of consciousness that was being swallowed up bit by bit by nothingness and estimated the time.

Unconsciously, he remembered the woman's smile before she left.
