Infinity Starting with Hikaru no Go

Page 52

Ryoko Kurozuki looked at Tetsuo Kaga with disbelief, at the seemingly delinquent boy in front of her.

At that moment, Ryoko Kurozuki seemed to see a lone wolf that had broken away from its pack and was venturing out into the world on its own.

A lone wolf howls at the moon, its howl filled with desolation and resolute determination.

Ryoko Kurozuki knew that only two outcomes awaited this lone wolf.

One is death, the other is rebirth.

If this lone wolf dies, then Kaga Tetsuo's path in the world of Go will come to an end.

But if this lone wolf is reborn, it means that Kaga Tetsuo has strayed from the right path and forged his own unique path in the game of Go.

This means that at that time, Tetsuo Kaga already possessed the qualities to become a top-tier Go player...

......

Chapter 77 The Storm Begins Because of One Person!

"What is your relationship with him? Why does your chess theory seem to be inherited from him?"

Kimihiro Tsutsui, standing to the side, was completely baffled by Tetsuo Kaga's sudden question, not knowing who the 'he' Tetsuo Kaga was referring to was.

Ryoko Kurozuki, who had regained consciousness, also heard Tetsuo Kaga's question.

Naturally, Ryoko Kurozuki would know that the "he" Kaga Tetsuo was referring to was Chen Anxia.

However, the relationship between Ryoko Kurozuki and Anxia Chen is somewhat complicated and difficult to explain in a short time.

After all, this involves issues from two different worlds.

Even if Ryoko Kurozuki is willing to tell the truth, whether Tetsuo Kaga can accept it is another matter.

Ryoko Kurozuki didn't want to waste time talking to the game NPCs, so she said directly, "You can consider my chess principles as something I inherited from him."

After receiving Ryoko Kurozuki's reply, Tetsuo Kaga couldn't help but show a "I knew it" expression on his face.

At the same time, more doubts arose in Kaga Tetsuo's mind.

Before Kaga Tetsuo could answer her question, Kurozuki Ryoko spoke first, asking, "During yesterday's triple ko, did he make a move that broke the triple ko cycle?"

Kaga Tetsuo was completely taken aback when Kurozuki Ryoko asked that question, and many doubts flashed through his mind.

Kaga Tetsuo remembered that Kurozuki Ryoko had left beforehand that day, so how did she know about this? Could it be that Chen Anxia told him?

Moreover, Ryoko Kurozuki's tone lacked the respect a disciple should have for their teacher, which puzzled Tetsuo Kaga.

Kimihiro Tsutsui, standing to the side, didn't think as much as Tetsuo Kaga did.

However, Tsutsui Kimihiro finally realized that the "he" that Kurozuki Ryoko and Kaga Tetsuo were referring to was Chen Anxia.

Then, Kimihiro Tsutsui's brows furrowed slightly involuntarily.

The triple ko fight from yesterday kept replaying in my mind, and I recalled the move Chen Anxia made after the triple ko cycle. I murmured to myself, "That move... broke the triple ko cycle?"

On the other side, under the intense gaze of Kurozuki Ryoko, Kaga Tetsuo forcibly suppressed all the doubts in his heart, reached out and picked up a white stone, placed it on the board, and said, "This move is the one he made after the triple ko cycle."

As for the moves that Morishita Shigeo and Ichiyanagi Shintaro made based on this move, Kaga Tetsuo did not mention them.

Kaga Tetsuo wanted to see how much Kurozuki Ryoko could see and how much she would know.

After Kaga Tetsuo made his move, a virtual chessboard immediately appeared in Kurozuki Ryoko's mind.

On this virtual chessboard, streaks of light flashed by, transforming into black and white chess pieces that fell onto the board, rapidly replaying yesterday's three ko games.

Soon, after a streak of light transformed into a black piece and fell onto the chessboard, the famous scene of a triple ko occurred.

Looking at the cycle of the three tribulations in her mind, Kurozuki Ryoko's eyes narrowed slightly, and the next moment, a dazzling stream of light streaked across the sky once again.

This light overshadowed all the previous radiance, ultimately transforming into a gleaming white piece that fell onto the chessboard, becoming the sole source of light within it.

Then, Ryoko Kurozuki looked at the white piece and began to deduce the future of the game behind it.

Immediately afterward, an expression of disbelief flashed in Kurozuki Ryoko's eyes, and she murmured, "This move, this move, how could it be..."

With the help of the Truth Superbrain, Ryoko Kurozuki knew that this move was the key to breaking the triple ko cycle.

However, Ryoko Kurozuki couldn't understand this move at all, which sacrificed the ko fight and more than 20 points of territory.

Furthermore, in Ryoko Kurozuki's deduction, the future of the game behind this move is all destined to be a defeat for White.

This result made Ryoko Kurozuki realize that the principles behind this move were so profound that she could not comprehend them.

Ryoko Kurozuki also knew that this move was very likely made by Chen Anxia himself.

Because the solution to that game of truth was very likely also the work of Chen Anxia.

All of these factors combined are what made Ryoko Kurozuki so incredulous and shocked...

Without hesitation, and without paying any more attention to Kaga Tetsuo and Tsutsui Kimihiro, Kurozuki Ryoko stood up and walked quickly out of the classroom.

Ryoko Kurozuki just wants to find a secluded place, quit the game and return to her own world, and show this move to her teacher, Michiya Tengen.

However, Ryoko Kurozuki was unaware that her expression and reaction were interpreted by Tetsuo Kaga as if he had seen through the profound meaning behind her move.

This also triggered various fantasies in Kaga Tetsuo, gradually causing him to become more like a deranged character.

Unlike Tetsuo Kaga, Kimihiro Tsutsui didn't think that much, nor would he.

However, Tsutsui Kimihiro suddenly thought of a question and couldn't help but look at Kaga Tetsuo and ask, "Kaga, isn't the inter-school Go league divided into male and female groups?"

"Although she is very strong in chess, she is a girl, so she probably can't compete with us, right?"

Kaga Tetsuo's reverie was interrupted. As his thoughts returned to reality, his gaze involuntarily turned to Tsutsui Kimihiro, and he grinned, saying, "Isn't this easy to solve? We just need to make everyone think she's a boy, right?"

Upon hearing this, Kimihiro Tsutsui was taken aback at first, and then the words 'woman disguised as a man' involuntarily popped into his mind...

On the other side, Chen Anxia had also woken up. After washing up and eating, he came to the computer again and logged into the Go website with great skill, wanting to continue his online Go battles.

It was at the very moment Chen Anxia logged into the Go website.

In the United States, Ada, who was playing Go online, suddenly received a call from her friend Aaron.

As soon as the call connected, Ada heard Aaron's urgent voice say, "Ada, he's online! He's online!!"

Upon hearing this, Ada was first taken aback, then realized something and suddenly sat up, her face full of shock.

In South Korea, Yu Zhengyan, a 7-dan player, was still studying the game record sent by his disciple, his brow furrowed.

Unlike Huang Yuetian, Yu Zhengyan's chess skills were not as good, and he was not able to quickly notice the anomaly in the game record.

However, after several hours of repeated review and study, Yu Zhengyan, a 7th Dan, finally seemed to have discovered something. His face couldn't help but show a look of shock, and he muttered to himself, "Is this guy... a monster?"

Just then, Yu Zhengyan's disciple, who was also the one who brought the chess score, rushed into the chess room in a very impetuous manner, shouting urgently, "Teacher, he's online! GG is online!!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhengyan abruptly stood up, his eyes gleaming, and said, "Quick, take me to see."

A similar scene is unfolding in Kyushu.

At this moment, the storm surrounding online Go began because of Chen Anxia.

......

Chapter 78 Hope for Breaking the Stalemate, A New Game Begins!

The world the player is in.

After returning, Ryoko Kurozuki went straight to find Doya Tengen.

Kurozuki Ryoko desperately wanted Tengen Dosai to witness Chen Anxia's move firsthand.

Only in this way can Ryoko Kurozuki know immediately what the future of the game, which can break the shackles, lies behind this move.

Meanwhile, the game record of the legendary Three Ko Game, amidst the ripples it caused in the Go world, quickly spread to professional players, and even top players.

The home of 'wandering among people'.

'Wandering in the Human World' is reviewing this ancient calamity.

During the debriefing, 'Wandering in the Human World' occasionally flashed a look of amazement in his eyes, muttering to himself, "Tian Yuan Dao, indeed worthy of being called Tian Yuan Dao."

"Although Black's Shusaku style has reached a near-perfect level of refinement, its essence is no longer suitable for the komi era."

"If Tengen Dosai hadn't been so reckless in the battle against the demon sword, but instead had consistently adhered to his own principles of Go, then the victory in this game would definitely have belonged to Tengen Dosai."

As they were talking, 'Wandering in the World' placed the last black piece.

Then, 'Wandering in the Human World' looked at the three-ko cycle on the chessboard and continued, "However, only if Tengen Dozai made a rash move would this legendary three-ko game appear in the world."

In the eyes of the 'Wandering Human World', the current ancient calamity should be a draw with no winner or loser.

After stopping the review, 'Wandering in the World' slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, calming his emotions that had been fluctuating due to the game.

It was at this moment that 'Wandering in the World' received a message from Yasutaka Uemura.

The message read, "I have confirmed Hikaru Shindo's address."

Upon seeing this message, a glint of light flashed in the eyes of 'Wandering in the Human World'.

At the same time, the fighting spirit that had been suppressed within 'Wandering the Human World' finally boiled and surged.

In fact, 'Wandering the World' has always had a wish, which is to play against the best chess players of the old era.

While privately studying chess and reviewing ancient chess scores, 'Wandering Among the People' has more than once imagined himself playing against the best chess players of the old era.

Among them was Honinbo Shusaku.

As early as when the Truth Game appeared, "Wandering in the Human World" had thought about entering the game "Hikaru no Go" to play against Hikaru Shindo and Honinbo Shusaku in the game, in order to fulfill his wish.

However, since 'Wandering in the Human World' did not know the exact location of Hikaru Shindo in the game, he gave up.

Afterwards, Uemura Tairyu's request to learn Go sparked a thought in 'Wandering Humans,' and he made a request to Uemura Tairyu.

The requirement is to confirm Hikaru Shindo's whereabouts and address.

Only if Uemura Tairyu fulfills this requirement will he accept Uemura Tairyu as his subordinate.

Therefore, during this period of time, Uemura Tairyu did not look for Chen Anxia in the game "Hikaru no Go". Instead, he tried every means to find the whereabouts and address of Shindo Hikaru.

Finally, through the clue of the Three Calamities of the Ages and the Yase Middle School Festival, Uemura Tairyu unraveled the mystery and found Shindo Hikaru's house.

Without hesitation, 'Wandering in the Human World' entered the game "Hikaru no Go" after a little preparation.

At the home of Miki Soji.
