She even wrote a sign and set it up beside the Go board—Linglong Chess.
Seeing this scene, a young doctor in the medical team, who initially had a favorable impression of Bai Xiuchu, suddenly felt heartbroken.
"It's over, another one has gone mad."
Perhaps sensing the unusual glares from others, Bai Xiuchu suddenly quieted down and stopped shouting out.
But the Go board that had been set up was not removed.
On the fifteenth day, everything was as usual, Bai Xiuchu was increasingly silent.
"First, uttering nonsense, then long periods of silence, and finally, madness. It seems she really is ill."
The medical team was not surprised by such behavior. After discussing, they decided to temporarily suspend Bai Xiuchu's work and provide her with psychological counseling.
But just as they were about to end today's monitoring of Ji Tianqi and propose the suspension of Bai Xiuchu's work,
Ji Tianqi, who had just come off the treadmill, suddenly approached the Go board.
Everyone was stunned.
When they saw Ji Tianqi suddenly pick up the Go stones and start arranging them on the board, everyone held their breaths.
Although they knew their voices wouldn't affect Ji Tianqi, they didn't dare make a sound.
Soon, many black and white stones were arranged on the board, revealing a very complex endgame situation.
This...
"Does Ji Tianqi know how to play Go?"
"I don't know."
"There's nothing in the data, he never said he could."
"Then this is..."
When Ji Tianqi sat down at one end of the board, hesitating with a stone in hand,
everyone turned their gaze toward Bai Xiuchu.
Bai Xiuchu had no choice but to snap back to attention. Coming from the Security Administration Bureau, she possessed a high level of professional conduct and was quick to respond.
She immediately took out her phone and opened a Go software she had previously downloaded—when purchasing the Go board.
Take a photo, the AI program recognized the Go board, and an exact replica of the endgame appeared on her phone.
And quickly offered a solution.
But now came the problem.
Bai Xiuchu looked up at the people of the medical team.
"How should I tell Ji Tianqi that this endgame should be solved like this?"
The medical team members looked at each other, still somewhat baffled; compared to Bai Xiuchu's quick reaction, they were a bit too slow.
"How about..." The young doctor, whose heart had just been broken, seemed to see some hope, hesitantly said, "you tell him like you did before?"
Bai Xiuchu was decisive.
She immediately leaned over to Ji Tianqi's ear and spoke with a breath as soft as orchids.
"Horizontal seven, vertical eight."
"???"
The heartbroken young doctor became even more distressed—I asked you to talk to him, not to whisper gently in his ear.
The others around were also dumbfounded, is there such a saying as "horizontal seven, vertical eight" in Go?
Bai Xiuchu, she really must be ill.
Just as this thought flashed through their minds, Ji Tianqi, who had been hesitating for a while, finally made his move.
He placed it at the intersection of the seventh line horizontally and the eighth line vertically.
"This is 'horizontal seven, vertical eight'?"
"No, he really heard it."
"Shh! Quiet, everyone quiet down!"
The leader of the medical team suddenly roared because he saw Ji Tianqi, who had just placed a white stone, pick up a black stone and make a move without any prompts.
He knew a bit about Go, so he could tell this was a game being played!
Though he didn't understand which moves were superior, he watched Bai Xiuchu with eyes full of eagerness, nodding vigorously to signal her.
Bai Xiuchu took a deep breath. Although she did not know what this change meant, good or bad,
she felt as if she finally found the motivation, a direction to move forward, and made a move in the software matching Ji Tianqi's choice of the black stone.
The AI program quickly responded, so Bai Xiuchu continued to speak softly next to Ji Tianqi's ear.
Though it had a hint of intimacy, the scene was filled with seriousness and earnestness.
Ji Tianqi indeed followed Bai Xiuchu's instructions for his next move, and the crowd grew even more excited.
After several back-and-forths, the game was resolved quickly.
Everyone held their breath.
Though their current thoughts made little sense, they all hoped for something to happen.
Especially Bai Xiuchu.
Ji Tianqi slowly got up, walked a circle around the treadmill, then sat cross-legged, and politely spoke to the air in front of him.
"Senior, indeed I have broken the Linglong Chess."
"?"
"I have no mentor, just burdened with an Absolute Skill. Please don't worry about my aptitude, as once this Absolute Skill is mastered, I will be able to perform the Yijin Marrow Cleansing."
"!"
"Please rest assured, senior, after receiving your Transmission, I will definitely avenge you and kill your disloyal disciple Niu Chunqiu!"
"!!"
Ji Tianqi suddenly fell silent and closed his eyes, then his ancient attire began to puff out as if caught in a wind.
The nearby monitoring equipment suddenly emitted a beeping alarm, and everyone looked to see the numbers representing Ji Tianqi's internal Energy value steadily rising.
"!!!"
He was getting stronger!
This mental patient, mad as one, was growing more powerful!
