Fang Yan nodded slightly to Kiyotaki Keika, Sora Ginko, and Kuzuryu Yaichi, then turned his gaze to Kiyotaki Kosuke's corpse. After examining it for a while, he said softly, "As expected, his soul is gone!"
"The soul is gone?" The people present couldn't help but be shocked.
"Well, that means Kiyotaki Kosuke's soul was taken away by that Death Shogi. As for the state of his soul, it should have been obliterated. Otherwise, he wouldn't have died suddenly. Theoretically speaking, a soul leaving the body doesn't necessarily lead to immediate death, at least not sudden death. Death takes time!" Fang Yan said calmly.
Look at Mai Sakurajima, her soul left her body and became a spirit, and now she's even returned to life.
Of course, cases like Mai Sakurajima's are rare. The three souls and seven spirits are very important to a person. If one part of them disappears, the person may still live, but may become confused or even become a vegetable.
However, if the soul completely disappears, under normal circumstances, if the soul can be found and brought back into the body within the appropriate time, there is still a chance of recovery.
Fang Yan had done some research on these things back when he was dealing with Mai Sakurajima.
In cases like Kiyotaki Kosuke's, it's clear that his soul is gone.
"Does this world really have souls? Does reincarnation exist? Does that mean my father doesn't even have the chance to be reincarnated?" Kiyotaki Kousuke's daughter, Kiyotaki Katsura, said with tears in her eyes.
"I think so!" Fang Yan said noncommittally, without intending to hide anything from the other party. "Then can you tell me how to challenge that Death Chess?"
"You know how to play shogi?" Sora Ginko suddenly asked.
"No!" Fang Yan shook his head slightly. "But I know how to use violence!"
"..." What the hell do you mean by violence? You don't mean you're planning to use Yin-Yang techniques or Taoist magic to kill the other person outright, do you?
"Are you confident?" Sora Ginko glanced at Kuzuryu Yaichi, who was still looking dejected, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes, before looking intently at Fang Yan and asking.
"Who knows? After all, we haven't met yet, have we?" Fang Yan chuckled lightly, his words filled with nonchalance.
"Then let me do it!" Kong Yinzi's expression changed slightly, and she said to Fang Yan in a serious tone.
"What?" This time, not only Fang Yan, but also Kuzuryu Yaichi and Kiyotaki Keika looked at Sora Ginko with disbelief.
“I say, I’ll challenge Death Shogi!” Sora Ginko took a deep breath and said, “If it’s my challenge, it will definitely accept. And if you watch from the sidelines, even if I lose, you have a chance to save me. Even if you can’t save me, I’ll be the one who dies! You can also learn more about Death Shogi.”
Next time we deal with it, we'll have a better understanding of it.
At this moment, everyone else also understood Kong Yinzi's intention, and their hearts were filled with shock.
"Wait, this isn't what you should be doing. As your father's daughter, I should be the one seeking revenge!" Kiyotaki Keika quickly stopped her. "Besides, you're still young. These things should be done by me!"
"No, Master has already sacrificed himself for shogi!" Sora Ginko shook his head slightly and said, "Besides, my shogi skills have long surpassed yours!"
However, her gaze fell on the silent Kuzuryu Yaichi. Seeing that he remained silent, Sora Ginko smiled wryly, thinking that perhaps this outcome was not bad at all.

"You!" Kiyotaki Keika looked at Sora Ginko with displeasure. Kiyotaki Keika regarded Sora Ginko as a friend and a younger sister, but Sora Ginko said such a thing.
Of course, Kiyotaki Keika also understood that this was an opportunity that Sora Ginko wanted to "compete" with her for.
"If that's the case, then you can do it!" Fang Yan glanced at Kong Yinzi, then nodded slightly and said, "I will do my best to ensure your safety!"
Sora Ginko didn't say much, but looked at Toyama Ginjiro and asked, "Is this person reliable?"
......... ....... 0
Although they had already decided to disregard life and death, who would willingly entrust their life to a stranger if they could?
“Mr. Fang Yan is a consultant that our Metropolitan Police Department went to great lengths to invite. He has solved many similar cases!” Toyama Ginjiro said after a moment of contemplation.
There were some things he didn't want to say, as saying them would only cause panic. However, many of these people were involved in similar cases, so he could simply issue a gag order later.
Of course, he wouldn't give out any more information.
"Is that so?" Kong Yinzi opened the fan in her hand, looked at Fang Yan and said, "Then my life is in your hands!"
After saying that, she took out her phone, opened an app, typed "I want to challenge Death Chess!", took a deep breath, and sent the message.
After doing all this, she collapsed to the ground. Clearly, this girl's mental strength was not as strong as she seemed.

Chapter 166
Seeing that Sora had done all this, Ginjiro Toyama was not in a good mood either; such a thing was really too risky.
If Fang Yan fails to save Kong Yinzi, then an innocent person will die.
You should know that Sora Ginko is about the same age as her daughter.
"Don't worry, I think my own strength is pretty good, so don't put too much pressure on me!" Fang Yan put his hand on Kong Yinzi's shoulder, which made Kong Yinzi slightly dissatisfied. After all, she didn't like being with other men, especially with other strange men.
Soon, Kong Yinzi felt a difference. "Nine-eight-three," a surge of energy flowed through his shoulder into his body, and then quickly spread throughout his limbs, gradually easing his previously weak limbs.
Sure enough, this guy is no ordinary person! Kong Yinzi looked at Fang Yan meaningfully.
"Your health isn't very good. If you don't rest properly and exercise, you might die before you're even thirty!" Fang Yan then reminded Kong Yinzi.
Fang Yan only watched part of the Dragon King's prison meal, after all, there aren't many animations available!
As for Kong Yinzi, Fang Yan would still remind her if he didn't dislike her.
"Won't live past thirty?" Sora Ginko didn't say much upon hearing this. She had a certain understanding of her own physical condition, which was one of the reasons why she challenged Death Shogi.
She never intended to live to thirty; she only wanted to fulfill her dreams before she died. But now someone was trampling on her dreams and even killed her teacher, something that Sora Ginko absolutely could not accept.
Oh no, those weren't killed by humans, but by monsters.
"What? Senior sister, how could this happen?" Kuzuryuu Yaichi looked at Sora Ginko in surprise. Even he only knew that Sora Ginko's health was not good and that she could not be exposed to the sun and needed to use an umbrella.
Unexpectedly, Sora Ginko's body had become like this.
Judging from Kong Yinzi's expression, it was clear that she was aware of her own physical condition.
This was somewhat difficult for Yaichi Kuzuryu to accept.
"Alright, if I die in this death game of shogi, you should never play shogi again!" Sora Ginko gave Kuzuryuu Yaichi a deep look and said in a deep voice.
"Actually, I can do it too! Teacher can challenge, you can challenge, and I can do it too!" Kuzuryuu Yaichi said anxiously. However, everyone present could hear the fear in Kuzuryuu Yaichi's words, which made Sora Ginko and the others, who had been with Kuzuryuu Yaichi day and night, somewhat disappointed.
But was Kuzuryu Yaichi wrong? It's already quite remarkable that he could say such things.
For many players, shogi is a hobby; for some, it is their life.
It is what they have been pursuing all their lives.
Some people are willing to give up their lives for these things, but they also care more about their own lives.
There's no right or wrong here, and you can't say that Kuzuryuu Yaichi was afraid of death before, or even that he was cowardly. At least later on, Kuzuryuu Yaichi still expressed his willingness to challenge death shogi.
Although Kuzuryu Yaichi's attitude wasn't exactly resolute, it was enough.
"Then I'll have to trouble you! If possible, I also want to survive!" Kong Yinzi looked at Fang Yan and said, "Death Chess has accepted my challenge!"
"Oh? When does it start?" Fang Yan asked... 0
"Around 10 p.m., that's when I'm at my best all day!" Sora Ginko gave a wry smile.
"Okay!" Fang Yan nodded slightly upon hearing this, then took out two talismans and handed them to Kong Yinzi. "Take these for now, just put them in your pocket! I'll control the talismans later so they won't activate immediately!"
Fang Yan had already hung the Goddess's Tear around his neck. This thing was much more effective at enhancing Fang Yan than the Fairy Amulet. It could even store Fang Yan's energy. Every time Fang Yan drew a talisman, he could feel the upper limit of the Goddess's Tear's energy increasing.
Although this limit is for the Tears of the Goddess, as long as the Tears of the Goddess is in Fang Yan's hands, he can use this part of the energy at any time.
This can be considered Fang Yan's power bank!
Therefore, Fang Yan drew some talismans when he returned to the hotel yesterday, but he did not expect that they would work in such a short time.
"A talisman?" Kong Yinzi's lips twitched when he saw the talisman Fang Yan took out. He never thought he would have to use a talisman one day.
In the past, if someone gave him a talisman, he would probably just slap them with a fan and kick them. But now, Kong Yinzi has no choice but to believe in these things.
Hopefully, these things can help me in some way, since I'm about to face an opponent I may never be able to defeat in my lifetime.
"Okay, take it. Since it starts at ten o'clock, I'll make some preparations too!" Fang Yan said with a smile. "As for your safety, I will do my best to protect you!"

Chapter 167
Despite Fang Yan's confident words, Sora Ginko, Kiyotaki Keika, and Kuzuryu Yaichi were still tense.
After all, Kiyotaki Kosuke had just died because of this, how could they not be nervous?
Not to mention them, even Toyama Ginjiro was extremely nervous. Admittedly, Fang Yan was very strong and had killed many monsters before, but facing a monster like Death Shogi that he had never seen before, even Toyama Ginjiro was not so confident in Fang Yan.
"Fang Yan, we're counting on you this time. We're afraid we can't be of much help!" Toyama Ginjiro said in a deep voice, "We tried to do something before, but unfortunately, we all failed!"
"Yes!" Fang Yan nodded slightly upon hearing this. "I will do my best, but I will do my best to keep her alive!"
Fang Yan then called Sakurajima Mai and Nakiri Erina, telling them they didn't need to wait for him today. As for the two women's safety, Fang Yan wasn't too worried. Not only did they have a large number of talismans that Fang Yan had prepared, but the Flying Thunder God mark on their bodies was also enough to ensure their safety.
Within this range, Fang Yan can sense his own Flying Thunder God Mark. As long as Sakurajima Mai and Nakiri Erina activate their Flying Thunder God Marks, Fang Yan can sense their situation and then go over.
Moreover, strange events are not so easy to encounter.
Even with the revival of spiritual energy, encountering ghosts is not so easy. People like Fang Yan, who encounter ghosts all day long, are still a minority.
..................................................................................................................
Time quickly passed to 10 PM. Fang Yan could clearly sense a strange aura appearing and condensing into a set of shogi pieces, which then appeared in front of Kong Yinzi.
"They're here!" Ginjiro Toyama exclaimed, watching the scene unfold.
"Kugoro!" Kiyotaki Keika and Kuzuryu Yaichi both looked worried and nervously stared at Kugoro.
Kong Yinzi simply looked at Fang Yan, wanting to say something, but found that she couldn't utter a word at this moment. Clearly, it was her "opponent" who was preventing her from speaking, and she couldn't even hear the sounds from the outside world.
Fang Yan nodded slightly to Kong Yinzi. He had roughly figured out some of the patterns in Death Chess, but he hadn't completely figured it out yet. However, Fang Yan was confident that if he wanted to solve this Death Chess, he could simply flip the board.
After the appearance of Death Shogi, a special barrier appeared around Sora Ginko, making it difficult for outsiders to enter. However, this was not a problem for Fang Yan.
The talisman given to Kong Yinzi earlier contained the mark of the Flying Thunder God, so Fang Yan felt he could still enter the barrier.
Unbeknownst to him, Fang Yan's methods had become more and more numerous, and he had gained more confidence when facing various situations.
Seeing Fang Yan nod, Kong Yinzi breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, she couldn't help but be nervous in this situation. How could a woman not be afraid when she couldn't speak, couldn't hear the outside world, and was surrounded by ghosts?
