373 Koi Jiaojiao (Second Update)_2

The crowd cast sympathetic glances at Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao herself was unaware, for the chess game left on the ground by the old beggar had caught her attention. This chess game was different from the ones she had previously solved, peculiar in a particular way, though she couldn't quite pinpoint what was odd about it.

Her mind began to calculate the movements of each chess piece.

Clang!

A copper plate was tossed into the broken bowl in front of her.

Gu Jiao didn't look up and continued to play chess.

Clang!

Another passerby threw a copper plate into the bowl.

Gu Jiao still didn't look up, focusing intently on solving the game.

She finally realized what was strange about this chess game—it was filled with a formidable killing intent.

How much resentment must the creator of this chess game have harbored? Although the game of chess inherently involves the mutual slaughter of pieces, such a level of brutality was rare.
