Chapter 295 Dark Demon And Chess

Dark packed up the leftovers of the experiment and then went to take a shower. After coming out of the bathroom, he saw Trash Slime wriggling slowly carrying the magic card of [Meowth] in the bedroom.

Trash Slime seemed to like the job, and had been wandering around in the bedroom while carrying [Meowth] on its head.

Ditto, who had always regarded Trash Slime as its child, looked at it tenderly; the sense was unexpectedly harmonious.

"Ditto," Dark called out as he was drying his hair with a towel.

"Mon Mon?" Ditto immediately turned its head and looked at Dark curiously.

Dark pointed to the textbooks on the desk, and casually said, "Would you like to help Meowth learn those books?"

Ditto tilted its head and thought for a while. Then its body suddenly wriggled quickly, turning into a Meowth standing on its two feet with tiny eyes.

It patted itself on the chest, nodded, and said: "Meow, meow, meow!"

Dark nodded in relief; "Then I'll leave it to you. By the way, help slime a little as well, it has trouble keeping up."

Ditto: "Mon~ Meow, meow!"

...

The following day, Sunday.

In the afternoon, when Dark was continuing to compile his textbook, a cool breeze suddenly blew in, sending a paper crane into the dormitory.

He stretched out his hand and caught the paper crane. After taking a look at what was written inside, he packed his things and went out.

A few minutes later, he came to Professor Silver's office.

In the office, Professor Silver and Professor Cazer were already waiting.

Although the two people's search for the "invisible man" had not made any progress, they didn't appear to be in a hurry at all.

When Dark entered the office, he saw the rare sight of them playing Magic Chess.

Dark was also very interested in Magic Chess, but he was worried that he would not be able to control himself once he became addicted to this kind of game, so he deliberately didn't learn it.

But seeing Professor Silver and Professor Cazer playing Magic Chess, he still couldn't help leaning forward.

Magic Chess was a type of chess similar to the board game [Jungle Chess]. Each of the two players in this game had 21 chess pieces, and each piece had a corresponding attack, Defense, Health Points, and ultimate, as well as the number of steps that could be taken in each round.

Players could choose to "place a piece" or "control a piece’s action" in each round.

By placing pieces in the player’s own area and moving one piece per turn to advance, attack, and kill the opponent's pieces, and eventually take out all the opponent's pieces or capture the fortress, the player would win!

In the past, Magic Chess had a fixed set of 21 chess pieces, but recently some new chess pieces appeared, causing another wave of craze.

Players could get new Magic Chess pieces by purchasing gashapon capsules, so as to build their own Magic Chess lineup, just like the dueling card deck, which was very fun.

Some rare magical chess pieces would have additional value, and their transaction prices would normally be shockingly high.

Of course, it was inevitable that there would also be pirated and genuine versions!

Pirated versions of Magic Chess were generally unofficial low-quality products.

In order to distinguish the genuine Magic Chess from the pirated version, an official crest that was difficult to forge was engraved on the bottom of the chess piece.

The Magic Chess used by Professor Silver and Professor Cazer were brand new Magic Chess that Dark had never seen before.

The chess pieces lineups of both players were very powerful, and they were attacking fiercely on the small chessboard.

The chess pieces were attacking each other fiercely, constantly beheading each other.

In the end, it was Professor Cazer who was slightly better, beheading Professor Silver's [Elf Queen] and successfully occupying the fortress.

"Phew!" Professor Cazer breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the teacup beside him, and wanted to take a sip. However, he didn't realize that the teacup had bottomed out.

Professor Silver was obviously a little disappointed. She straightened up, turned her head, and said to Dark; "When did you come?"

Dark smiled: "I’ve been here for quite a while. Since when did you two start to play Magic Chess?"

Professor Silver put a chess piece on the board and showed a rare smile: "You probably won’t believe it, I just learned it."

Professor Cazer also smiled: "I recommend it to her."

Dark: No wonder you could win...

But he didn't expect that Professor Cazer would have such a hobby. After all, he had never seen him play it before.

Professor Cazer seemed to know what he was thinking and said casually: "I have lived for such a long time, so, of course, I know how to play Magic Chess. It's just that the fixed 21 pieces in the past were too boring, so I didn't pay much attention to them. I didn’t expect that the Magic Chess Association would develop new chess pieces, so I want to give it a try."

Professor Silver agreed: "This is indeed a breakthrough. With the new chess pieces, the strategy of playing Magic Chess will be more varied. And the ideas for some new chess pieces are also very useful. In the past, you could easily win as long as you could remember the moves of all the chess pieces.… Anyway, let’s focus on the serious matter now.”

She sighed and pushed the chess pieces away.

Dark directly moved a chair over, sat down between the two of them, and said, "Professor, is there any progress?"

Professor Silver said, "Sadly, no."

Dark asked curiously: "There is no direct method to capture the person?"

Professor Silver shook her head: "We can’t do it the old ways."

It meant that there were means available, but they couldn’t use them now.

Some methods available in special times were taboo in peaceful times.

However, it was very difficult to capture a person who had never shown themselves from the beginning with conventional means.

Dark nodded slightly, without further questioning.

The reason why Professor Silver sent a message to him, asking him to come here, was presumably to discuss how to find this person within the scope of the rules.

She continued: "The problem now is that we have too little information on our side. We don't even know the purpose of the other party's spying on the secret passage."

Professor Cazer humorously said: "This is the most difficult thing. We seem to be looking for someone who doesn't exist at all. But since we can't find it, we have to find another way, such as letting the person come out by themself."

Professor Silver looked at Dark: "Lure the person out. That’s what you suggested, right?"

Dark nodded and said: "Perhaps the seal of the secret passage has really stumped that person, so that person hasn’t made any move for a long time."

Professor Silver: "It is indeed possible. But it is impossible for us to undo the seal of the secret passage for this reason. And that it’s too obvious.”

Dark thought for a while: “But if we want to lure that person out without the secret passage being unsealed, we need to know what the other party’s ultimate purpose is for spying on the secret passage.”

Professor Silver: “So we return to the original problem again."

After the discussion between the two stopped for a while, Professor Cazer said; "Our current idea is to 'create' a key that can break the seal, and then use this key to lure that person out."

After finishing speaking, he turned his gaze to Dark.

Dark thought for a while, then suddenly realized something: "Is this why you asked me to come?"Please vote for this novel at
