The Old Game Is Not over Yet

When he was eighteen years old, retired chess player Gu Yan met a girl named Xu Qingci in an old chess hall. She played a move that he had never seen before but was inexplicably familiar to him. Then she looked up at him and said: "You beat me once after you died." Gu Yan originally thought this was just crazy talk. It wasn't until an old banquet that the guests began to die one after another according to their seats; until Meng Guichi, the owner of the chess hall who was waiting to die, revealed his true identity as a national-level official; until he discovered that there is a kind of person called "professional" in this world. The chef can set the scene with a banquet table. Magicians can cheat death. Fortune tellers can bet on the future. Chess players can make a difference in human lives. And Gu Yan's real profession is not a chess player. He is a Daiyi person. Replay for the dead, take the final step for the losers, and take the last step for those who have been abandoned by the world. Later, Gu Yan realized that this world had already lost a game. And the sunspot in his hand is one of the last few backup weapons of mankind.
