One Hundred Ways to Whitewash Villains [Quick Wear] ━ Vol.1

1.24

　　In a formation in the nameless secret realm, a man in light gray robes sat under a tree, looking extremely focused. In front of him, there was an unfinished chess game. On the criss-crossed chessboard, the black chess pieces are surrounded by white pieces. They are in a dilemma. If they make one wrong move, it will be a doomed outcome.

　　Standing next to the man were three women with different looks. They all looked anxious and looked frequently at a piece of white jade in their hands, as if they were waiting for something. Suddenly, the piece of jade that was carefully placed in the palm of his hand lit up. The eyes of several people suddenly lit up, and their faces could not help but show joy: "Here it comes!"

　　At the same time, a sword light flashed across the horizon, and a man A man in his twenties jumped down from the flying sword. He glanced at the man who was still sitting under the tree and showed no reaction to his arrival. He frowned and looked at the others: "What's going on?"

　　"We don't know either." Several people looked at each other, and finally the woman in a plain dress stood up and explained: "Young Master, he hasn't moved since he sat under the tree. Now, It's been three days and three nights." She paused and continued, "Our cultivation is too weak and we can't even get close. We have no other choice but to ask for help, sir."

　　Just a few simple words. With his words, he explained clearly the whole story of the matter in front of him, and also flattered the person in a light and gentle way. This kind of eloquence of a woman is really rare.

　　Wei Chengze looked at the woman with a decent smile and couldn't help but admire in his heart. It's no wonder that this woman was able to occupy the position under the hibiscus in Wei Zi'an's harem together with Liu Ruyu, who accompanied Wei Zi'an all the way.

　　Nodding to her to indicate that he understood the situation, Wei Chengze said nothing, turned around and took two steps towards where Wei Zi'an was. Suddenly, an invisible pressure hit his face, making him frown involuntarily.

　　The protagonist is worthy of being the protagonist. Even though he practiced Tian Ming Jue nearly a year later than him, his current cultivation level is almost the same as his, and even vaguely surpasses him. Of course, this is also related to the magic cultivation technique he obtained after falling off the cliff.

　　The technique of Tian Ming Jue was too overbearing. In order to alleviate this overbearing, Qin Zijin taught Wei Chengze a specially selected gentle mental technique, but Wei Zi'an was different. Before he learned the Tian Ming Jue, what he practiced was originally the evil path of demonic cultivation. Of course, it could not be so gentle and pure. In fact, if Wei Zi'an hadn't been pure and kind, he wouldn't have known how much blood was stained on his hands right now. But even so, his character was inevitably affected a little, and he became surly and withdrawn, and it was even more difficult for him to trust others.

　　Of course, this was thanks to Wei Chengze's push to him.

　　Thinking of this, Wei Chengze couldn't help but lower his eyes, covering his smile.

　　He raised his hand to perform a sword technique, and the long sword hanging on his waist was immediately unsheathed and suspended in front of him, blocking the pressure for him.

　　Although it is not impossible to resist forcefully, it has never been Wei Chengze's character to choose troublesome methods when easier methods are available.

　　The closer he got to the chess game under the tree, the heavier the oncoming pressure became. In the end, Wei Zi'an had already exceeded his level of cultivation. This must be the result of the chess board.

　　Despite the pressure, he slowly came to the opposite side of Wei Zi'an step by step. Wei Chengze lowered his eyes and looked at the chess game on the chessboard.

　　At present, the situation on the chessboard is very obvious. The chess pieces occupy most of the territory. Only a few black stones are still struggling to death. He only needs to drop one more piece on the chessboard to kill all the black stones. And the person on the opposite side will be trapped in the illusion of this chess game forever, with no chance to come out.

　　——If Wei Zi'an is not the protagonist.

　　Thinking of what happened when he tried to kill Wei Zi'an when he first traveled through time, Wei Chengze's fingertips trembled involuntarily. Things like luck are really annoying.

　　It is obviously not feasible to directly attack the protagonist. When they were on Tianji Peak, Wei Chengze also tried to get rid of Wei Zi'an with the help of others, but now Wei Zi'an is still sitting opposite him, and he has already That's enough to illustrate the problem.

　　No matter what kind of game Wei Chengze sets up, he will always fail due to some unexpected factors in the end - just like the thunder that day, it is extremely unexpected, but people can't find the fault. There were even many times when Wei Chengze was pushed to the position of being the one who sabotaged his own plans.

　　——But that's why it's more interesting, isn't it?

　　If you just crush them unilaterally, then this game will be much less interesting.

　　Sitting down opposite Wei Zi'an, Wei Chengze lowered his head and thought for a while, then reached out and picked up a chess piece, and gently dropped it on an empty space in the upper right corner of the chessboard. Suddenly, the way for the white piece to survive was blocked. A large area was blocked, and the situation on the chessboard suddenly reversed. Wei Chengze raised his head and glanced at the motionless person opposite, then withdrew the hand holding the chess piece. And the moment his fingertips left the chess piece, Wei Chengze felt his eyes darken. When he came back to his senses, the surrounding scenery had completely changed.

　　Mahogany floors, luxurious European chandeliers, and milky white handrails engraved with exquisite patterns spiral up the stairs. Wei Chengze paused slightly and stared at the familiar scene in front of him for a while, then suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and showed a smile: "It's really... interesting."

　　The chess game he just played with Wei Zi'an It was left behind by an ancestor before he ascended. No one knows its specific purpose, but some of its rules have been figured out by later generations. Once a chess player falls into a disadvantage, he will enter the illusion of the chess game. If he loses, he will be trapped in it until his body dies. Therefore, this chess game is also called the "life and death chess game", which is some elements of the chess game. Even the monks at the divine level dare not easily close the market.

　　Ever since that powerful person ascended, this chess game has disappeared. No one has seen it before, but for some reason, it appeared in this small secret realm. Wei Zi'an and Liu Ruyu found this chess game by chance. The two people who didn't know the dangers involved would not let go of such an opportunity. Therefore, Wei Zi'an, who had not even reached the foundation building stage, was trapped in the chess game without any surprise. Among them, thanks to Liu Ruyu who discovered the mystery of this chess game, he was able to rescue him. It was also in this illusion that Liu Ruyu learned about Wei Zi'an's bullying past, and the relationship between the two took a further step.

　　But now, without Liu Ruyu, Wei Zi'an's experience is completely different from his original trajectory, but the ending has not changed at all. Not only that, because Wei Zi'an's cultivation level at this moment was higher than that of the three people he brought, so if something like this happened, they were helpless.

　　——Of course, this was what Wei Chengze had planned long ago, which was why he left this place to Wei Zi'an alone.

　　As he walked up the handrail step by step, the smile on Wei Chengze's lips grew wider, but the look in his eyes became colder and colder.

　　The illusion in this chess game of life and death will present the most fearful and disgusting scene in the hearts of those who enter it. Before it disappears, many people who do not believe in evil and want to challenge it will become obsessed in the illusion, and even worse, directly The body exploded and died. For a while, the chess game of life and death even became a taboo in the world of cultivation, and no one dared to mention it.

　　"But because the host is not from this world and is not using his own body, it won't be that serious! At most, he just sees some scenes that he doesn't like!" When Wei Chengze mentioned the chess game, 5438 said this. But he didn't expect that Wei Chengze would actually enter this chess game.

　　5438: Anyway, I've never guessed the host's thoughts correctly. I'm crying.

　　I don't know whether it was because he was depressed because of the previous series of busy tasks and not receiving any luck, or because of other reasons, 5438 was unusually quiet at the moment. Wei Chengze stopped and narrowed his eyes slightly. , looking at the exquisitely crafted wooden door in front of him.

　　"That... host..." 5438 hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't hold it back and asked, "Where is this place?"

　　Seeing Wei Chengze's extraordinary performance before, 5438 really couldn't bear it. He was curious about what things could make Wei Chengze hate--although in comparison, he wanted to know what Wei Chengze was afraid of. Without cheese, I can survive with just bread!

　　But...is there really anything Wei Chengze is afraid of? 5438 doubts this.

　　"My home." Wei Chengze answered 5438's question without much emotion. He reached out and turned the doorknob in front of him.

　　5438: Hey? !

　　However, before 5438 could express his shock, he was attracted by the scene behind the door.

　　A small single bed, a transparent floor-to-ceiling window, a desk with some textbooks, various models of bookcases, and some other gadgets fully demonstrate that this is a child's room - and most likely a child's room. boy.

　　The room was very clean. Although there were a lot of things in it, it did not feel messy at all. The owner of the room was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out the window at the backyard full of flowers.

　　It was a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, with neatly trimmed hair and a pair of dark eyes that were like fine obsidian, without any impurities.

　　Suddenly, he seemed to hear something, and turned his head to look behind him. Following this movement, a smile appeared on his face little by little. The already handsome face instantly became vivid because of this smile. It stood up and made people unable to take their eyes away.

　　The woman wearing a rose-red imitation cheongsam dress held an exquisitely crafted airplane model in her hand. With a gentle smile on her face, she walked to the boy's side: "This is the limited edition model you said you wanted last time. I found one at Uncle Wang's house and bought it from him. Does Xiaoze like it?" She looked at the person in front of her with tenderness and pampering in her eyes.

　　5438: Ozawa? !

　　5438 felt that the word "shocked" was not enough to express his feelings. However, Wei Chengze completely ignored 5438's meaning and just looked at the little boy standing in front of the woman.

　　"Of course I like it!" The boy reached out and took the airplane model. His eyes shone slightly, as if the whole world had become brighter because of it. "Thank you, Mom!"

　　The two people, who had somewhat similar eyebrows, looked at each other and smiled. Gentle and brilliant, it looks particularly warm and harmonious. 5438 stared at the two people for a while, and little bubbles of doubt kept popping up in his mind.

　　...annoying things? What is so annoying about such a harmonious and beautiful picture? !

　　5438 At this time, I really want to grab this illusion and ask if it suddenly broke down, which is why this situation happened.

　　Even someone with an IQ as low as 5438 can guess that the little boy in front of him is Wei Chengze when he was a child, and the person opposite him should be his mother, and it seems that the two people have a good relationship. . So...why does such a scene appear? Sure enough, the illusion suddenly broke down, right?

　　But looking at Wei Chengze's extremely calm attitude, 5438 thought about it secretly and put forward his own guess: "Is she your stepmother?"

　　One look at this house revealed that Wei Chengze's family must be very rich. Human beings, it's normal to change wives and so on.

　　"Of course not," perhaps because 5438's words were too interesting, Wei Chengze's voice had a rare hint of a laughable smile, "Whether from a biological or legal perspective, she is my mother - the only mother. "She paused, raised the corners of her mouth, and added meaningfully, "My favorite mother."

　　"Um...then you don't like that airplane model?" 5438 asked again.

　　"I fell in love with that airplane model at first sight." Wei Chengze once again denied 5438's statement.

　　...So why do you hate this scene?

　　Expressing that he could not understand Wei Chengze's thinking at all, 5438 silently gave up the idea of ​​asking any more - even if he continued to ask, he would never get an answer, okay? Wei Chengze will only despise his IQ! This is absolutely awesome!

　　Rubbing his little heart which was hit again, 5438 obediently shut his mouth.

　　Looking at the mother and son talking happily in front of him, Wei Chengze's eyes suddenly became gentle. He chuckled lightly, suddenly took up his sword skills, and smashed the huge floor-to-ceiling window into pieces with one move. Transparent glass scattered and fell, refracting the sunlight in colorful ways. However, the mother and son seemed not to have seen anything, and continued to talk and laugh freely, not at all disturbed by this unexpected situation.

　　Wei Chengze stared at the two of them sideways for a while, then the movement of his hand changed, and the long sword flew out of the sheath and immediately split the seemingly soft single bed in half.

　　However, 5438 did not show any surprise at Wei Chengze's suspected sudden madness. Instead, he kept shouting "Cut here, chop here" and "Cut there, chop there", looking extremely excited. In the end, everything in the room was destroyed by Wei Chengze, leaving only the two people in the room who turned a blind eye to everything around them, still talking and laughing to themselves. Finally, under Wei Chengze's gaze, , turned into two white stones.

　　Stepping forward to pick up the white pieces that fell on the ground, Wei Chengze suddenly felt that the scene around him began to shake, and then shattered and disappeared little by little, leaving only an endless darkness.

　　This is the mystery of this chess game of life and death.

　　The illusion is part of the chess game, and the chess game is also part of the illusion.

　　Everything in the illusion is made of chess pieces. Attacking the illusion is attacking the chess pieces. If all the white pieces are destroyed, then Wei Chengze's game of chess will naturally be lost, and vice versa. And there were so few white chess pieces on the chessboard. It wasn't that Wei Zi'an's chess skills were really bad, but that he destroyed too many black pieces in the illusion, which put him in that situation.

　　Putting away the chess pieces in his hand, Wei Chengze raised his head, looked at the indistinguishable darkness around him, and flicked his fingertips lightly. A subtle buzzing sound came from the silk thread in his hand and spread out in the darkness. After a while, a similar sound came from far away from the left front of Zifeng Chengze, an unknown distance away. .

　　Condensing his own spiritual power into thin threads and pouring it into the silk thread in his hand, Wei Chengze raised his feet and walked in the direction of the sound.

　　In such darkness, even Wei Chengze lost the ability to distinguish time and space, and could only follow the intermittent buzzing sound and keep walking.

　　I don't know how long he had been walking, but Wei Chengze's eyes suddenly lit up. This sudden light made him involuntarily squint his eyes. When his eyes recovered, he had already arrived at another place.

　　Blue bricks, red tiles, and high stone walls. Relying on the body's own memory, Wei Chengze recognized the Wei family's past appearance.

　　The place where the buzzing sound came from was still deep in the house. Wei Chengze kept walking and stepped straight into the fantasy world that belonged to Wei Zi'an.

　　Arriving at the courtyard of the Wei family, Wei Chengze didn't spend much effort and saw Wei Zi'an beside the well - and the person who looked exactly like him who pressed Wei Zi'an's head against the well's mouth.

　　"What do you think their reaction would be if I threw you down and told the head of the house and his wife that you, a loser, accidentally slipped and fell into the well and drowned?" Unaware of Wei Chengze's arrival, that With a bad smile on his face, "Wei Chengze" pushed Wei Zi'an's head into the well again, his tone full of malice, "You must feel that there is one less big trouble! After all, the head of the family , I actually gave birth to such a useless thing like you!"

　　Wei Chengze, who was watching from the side:...
