Two Sovereigns
Bab124s. Girls and Chess
Qin managed to face his nightmare, now he woke up from his sleep.
The first thing he noticed was the middle-aged man who owned the Nightmare Eyes, a sigh of relief emanating from Qin's nose and mouth, saying, his eyes still there was also the middle-aged man still closed his eyes with a sleeping position on the rocking chair.
Qin's gaze fell on the stairs that were not there before, “It looks like it's a staircase leading to the second floor, the inner” of Qin.
“Happy to have overcome your nightmares, please go to langai two Nightmare Pagodas.” The middle-aged man said but did not open his eyes and his position was still on the rocking chair.
Qin instead of answering, the little girl stepped up to the stairs and down one by one the steps to get to the next floor.
Arriving on the second floor Qin found a chessboard, his body shook lightly upon seeing the object.
A painful memory flashed on Qin's head, about the chessboard. A tragedy he will never forget, because at that time he lost his precious oaling brother to the chessboard.
What makes Qin worse is that the chessboard is exactly like the chessboard that used to take his brother's life.
“Welcome to the second floor, start the exam?” A girl looked at Qin with a smile.
Qin was now shaking violently, never expected to meet the figure of the girl here, in front of the chessboard.
“Ke–” Qin greeting stuck in his throat when he was about to call the name of the girl.
“Win this game or step back and get out of the Nightmare Pagoda,” the girl said as she looked at Qin.
Qin gritted his teeth and forced his feet to step up and sit in front of the girl.
“Please choose a color,” said the figure while filing two bowls containing chess pawns.
“Black.” Qin took out a bowl containing black pawns.
His hands trembled a little, this game that took the life of his brother who now somehow could face him.
Back then, his brother Ken Jia bet in a chess game. Because as long as he played chess never lost when he lost once made Ken Jia angry and tried to continue playing.
Who would have thought his opponent really did not play made Ken Jia place a bet for his opponent, when Ken Jia lost in succession to lose many valuable objects.
Until the last time Ken Jia no longer has anything to fight, but his soul is not willing to suffer such a defeat makes Ken Jia risk himself because he believes he will win.
However it seemed as if the sky was saying another, Ken Jia was heavily defeated in the game in front of the still-small Qin back then.
Ken Jia's main opponent was a man, so a terrible thing that shouldn't be seen by a child of Qin's age who was still 5 years old when it happened.
The man harassed Ken Jia so horribly, no one could save Ken Jia as they were playing in a private room within a large gambling building.
Qin, who at that time still did not understand anything, saw that his sister was moaning in pain wounded by the man beating the man, a vase made of ceramic was thrown by Qin, causing the man to bleed on his head.
The man's anger peaked to the point of venting it on Ken Jia, a crushing blow to Ken Jia's chest leaving the poor girl's heart shattered leaving her dead for a moment.
The officers who were late to realize the entrance into the private room, they saw Ken Jia's corpse and then secured the small Qin.
“You took the wrong step,” Ken Jia said as he watched Qin lay down his pawns carelessly.
Ken Jia put down his pawn then looked at Qin to let the girl get her turn put the pawn.
“You,” Qin said as he laid his pawn.
Ken Jia was surprised by Qin's remark, immediately he looked at the chessboard, yes right! It was an absolute victory for him.
“What are you doing?!” ken Jia exclaimed full of wonder and surprise.
“At the end of your life you really want to win your game, I feel the same way. All this time your shadow that was losing was making me scared.
I want to give you a victory, but that doesn't mean I have to give up. Your game is really smart, I have calculated carefully all the steps. But still one step you take makes my plan ruined.
This is where I realized that you are indeed very great, with no one to defeat you. There's no need for me to give you victory. You can win it.” Qin was now feeling very relieved.
The thing that stuck in his heart could be released, he was always haunted to give victory to Ken Jia.
He had always wondered if back then he could give victory to Ken Jia would not Ken Jia have to die so miserably at the hands of the evil man who cheated him back then.
“You are not inferior in an honest way, the man played dirty to win the game by messing with your mind overshadowed by a sense of not wanting to lose, he said,” continued Qin while smiling at Ken Jia who is now starting to fade.
Ken Jia stared at Qin, after a moment a smile full of relief formed on Ken Jia's beautiful lips.
“Congratulations Qin’er, you have passed the second floor exam. I thank you for giving me the truth. If you're confused, I'm not a fake shadow. But this is me you know, I don't die, I'm always alive here.” Ken Jia touched Qin's chest.
Qin was about to raise his voice to speak, but when his mouth opened. He can't say anything.
Ken Jia's form had begun to become a transparent white light and entered Qin's body.
The feeling of his nightmare about the chessboard has gone, replaced by a sense of calm because it has been able to solve things that bother him about the chessboard and his sister.
The chessboard also slowly disappeared and became a staircase leading to the next floor.
Qin did not immediately go up, the little girl steadied her heart first. His whole nightmare came true here, there was not much he feared but there were some bad things that always overshadowed him.
Feeling quite steady with the condition of his heart. Qin decided to immediately climb the stairs leading to the next floor.
Remaining half way to the fifth floor, this made Qin continue to encourage him. Because in addition to getting the Coins he was looking for he would also grind out the bad things that always overshadowed him while sleeping.
The stairs this time really felt long for Qin, his little legs had stepped up one by one stairs but only after half an hour he reached the third floor.
