Cherish the time

Chapter 135

Hearing such a notice, Sato became anxious all of a sudden, but Shinto's performance was very indifferent.

He also signaled Zuo Wei not to speak with his hand first, and then asked slowly, "Didn't you say 20 years old? How come soon."

Zhu Sheng said without any ups and downs, "Before you spit out what you swallowed, you can indeed live to be 20 years old."

"Three years...not enough." Jinto thought for a while, "Did you come to me just to tell me this?"

"..." Zhusheng was silent for a while, "No, I want to tell you that I can extend your lifespan to 20 years old."

"But the price is that you will no longer be able to step into the realm of God's Hand in this lifetime."

Hearing this reply, Shinto Hikaru couldn't help but fell silent.

Zuo Wei took the opportunity to ask, "Excuse me...why do you help Xiao Guang?" 』

"Because there is no reason not to help you." Takeo said simply.

"Sorry." As it was about Xiaoguang's life and death, Zuowei put his fear of Zhusheng behind him, and asked further, "Can you please explain in detail?" 』

"Since the Heian era, the Abe family and the Takebu family have been the front and back of each other." The Takebu family was very cooperative, and there was no sign of impatience when they met for the first time. The Abe family of the 'table' is in charge of solving it."

He stopped talking at this point, but Zuo Wei understood what he meant.

"...You mean, Xiaoguang..." Zuo Wei observed Takeo's expression, and carefully said the conclusion that made his mind go blank, "...Isn't it human anymore? 』

"Actually, there have been signs of this matter for a long time." It was Shindo who took up the topic, "Although I don't know when it started, but it should not be complete when I went to the beach last year." human beings."

"Huh? 』

"Fear." Shinto made a frightened expression, "Aren't you all scared enough, but I don't feel the emotion of fear at all."

"And I thought about it later. At first, I felt a little guilty towards Yijiao, but this feeling disappeared at some point."

"I thought it was a side effect of rebirth or devouring the soul before, but now it seems... These are probably some manifestations of 'not human'."

Zhusheng acquiesced to his statement, "So, what is your choice?"

"These two options...I don't want to choose," Shinto made an apologetic gesture, "Is there such a possibility-live to be 19 years old and still be able to achieve the goal of God's Hand."

"Does it have to be 19?"

"must."

"...I see." Zhusheng nodded, took out a chess piece from his pocket and handed it to Shinto, "Take it."

Shinto Hikaru:?

"Carry it with you all the time, and you can live until you are 19 years old." Zhusheng explained concisely, repeating the previous lines, "Your time is running out, if there is anything you want to do, please do it as soon as possible."

Shinto put the black chess piece in his pocket, smiled at Takeo, "I have been doing what I want to do all my life."

After a brief meeting with Takebu, Shinto and Sawei returned home.

After escaping from Mitsuko's interrogation about "who is in that high-end car" and "Xiaoguang, you didn't get into trouble", as soon as he returned to the room, Shinto took the chess piece and studied it against the light, " Hey... there's something in here."

Zuo Wei didn't follow him, but walked to the center of the room and sat down, then called his name seriously, "Xiaoguang." 』

"kindness. ’ Shinto responded casually.

"...I also have something to tell you. 』

"oh? 』Noticing Zuowei's serious tone, Shindo immediately went to sit opposite the other party and sat down, "Have you finally decided to tell me?"

"Um. Zuo Wei squeezed the folding fan in his hand, "...I... saw something. 』

"The starry sky?" Shinto asked subconsciously.

"No," Zuo Wei shook his head, "I saw...the former you. 』

Hearing such an answer, Shindo seemed to have lost his language ability for a moment, and did not know what answer to make.

Fortunately, Zuo Wei didn't need his reaction, so he continued talking like that.

"It started when you fainted from fright when you first saw me. 』

"Because of my stalking, I reluctantly joined Mr. Shirakawa's Go class. 』

『Accidentally went to the Go club where Xiaoliang was. 』

"When we met again, I was talking nonsense to Xiao Liang who came over. 』

"Defeat Xiaoliang for the second time. 』

"Dragged by Ogata to see Toya Yukihiro. 』

『Fleeing in front of Toya Yukiyo. 』

"Watching celebrities play chess, I awkwardly tried to pick up stones in the park. 』

"I attended the Hazase Academy Festival for free takoyaki, but was threatened by Kaga to participate in the junior high school Go tournament. 』

"I was recognized by my neighbor's older brother on the way, and as a result Haze was disqualified from the competition. 』

"I was promoted to Haze and joined the Go Club. 』

"Pull Mitani into the company. 』

"Participate in the competition again as the last general. 』

"It was the first time I played against Xiao Liang with my own strength, but Xiao Liang was disappointed and left. 』

『I realized the gap between myself and Xiaoliang, and said loudly in front of the seniors that I want to be a college student. 』

"Try one-on-three for the first time. 』

"I took the entrance exam with anxiety. 』

"Because my feet were numb, I fell on all fours in front of my teacher. 』

"After being admitted to the hospital, I have been wandering in the second group. 』

"It was hard to overcome the bottleneck and was promoted to a group of [-], and was able to participate in the Ruoshi game, but lost to the opponent before playing against Xiaoliang. 』

"But it was a good move. 』

"Learned to play Go online. 』

"Take the professional chess player exam. 』

"I'm not reconciled to myself who lost to Tsubaki. 』

"Let's challenge the major Go clubs together with Hegu Yijiao. 』

"Overcame a psychological barrier and defeated Tsubaki when they met again. 』

"Acquainted with Hong Xiuying by chance. 』

"I was disturbed by the chess game with Ikaku. 』

"In the game against Watani, I came back from a desperate situation and made a new breakthrough. 』

"Beat Ochi and become a professional chess player. 』

"Participating in the new first stage routine game, the opponent is Taya Yukihiro. 』

『At the cost of the 'fifteen goals gap', let me play against Taya Yukihiro. 』

"Graduated from Haze. 』

"Taya Yukiyo fell ill. 』

"You went to visit the sick, and tried to get me to fight Taya Yukihiro. 』

"Before anyone else saw through the variables in that game. 』

"Panic at my disappearance. 』

"Because of my disappearance, I gave up Go for a while. 』

"With the help of Ikaku, I made the choice to return to chess. 』

"After the comeback, the results are outstanding. 』

"Accepted by Kurata. 』

"Participate in the Beidou Cup with Xiaoliang and Shesha. 』

"Because of Gao Yongxia's words, I am very angry. 』

"After losing chess, I cried unwillingly and said that I played chess to connect the distant past and the distant future. 』

"After the game, I played against Xiuying again. 』

『I saved enough money, so I moved out from home. 』

"It's my first time cooking by myself. 』

"The first date with a girl. 』

"On my 20th birthday, I told Xiaoliang about my story. 』

"Defeated Gao Yongxia in the exchange match with South Korea. 』

"Stand on the altar and kiss your bride. 』

"Attend Xiaoliang's wedding. 』

"Defeating Ogata won the title of Honinbo. 』

"Obviously died of brain cancer. 』

"The first gray hair has grown. 』

"Won the title of Honinbo for five consecutive years, and was named No.30 I Honinbo. 』

"Together with Xiaoliang, he won the seven major titles in the Japanese Go world, and was called 'the rival of fate' by the outside world. 』

"My pregnant wife died in a car accident, and I have been living by myself since then. 』

"One day when I was having breakfast, I found that my hands and feet were a little out of control. 』

"After getting the test results from the hospital, I sat alone on the balcony until dawn. 』

『I have to take a lot of pills every day. 』

"Go to the hospital for check-ups every half a month. 』

"Because I broke the cup by mistake many times, I simply replaced all the fragile items in the house. 』

"Win the last of the seven titles and complete the honor of the "Grand Slam". 』

『My body deteriorated so rapidly that I collapsed in the battle of Honinbo and was sent to the hospital. 』

"On the hospital bed, he said he wanted to play chess with me again. 』

"Fight against Xiaoliang in the hospital. 』

"And finally... sleep peacefully with eyes closed in the hospital. 』

Zuo Wei said calmly.

"During the past half a year or so, I could see your past as long as I closed my eyes. 』

"Gradually, I don't know whether I saw what the 'old me' saw, or the 'old me' woke up in this me. 』

"But the only certainty is—"

"I never thought that I would meet you again in such a posture. 』

"I never thought that you would come back to me in this form." 』

"But this miracle that I didn't even dare to think about... has become a reality because of you. 』

Before he knew it, Shinto burst into tears.

He wanted to say something, but felt that all the words at this moment were not enough to express the emotions surging in his heart.

"Little light. 』

"Thank you. 』

"Though you probably wouldn't know it. 』

"But as long as you exist—"

"I will... be by your side. 』
