The Go playbook!
The three men standing behind Sir Bi were speechless.
'Eldest, we don't wish to discuss this repellent Go manual with you at all. What we're discussing with you right now is our life, death, and future! Do you not have any sense of priority? Are you unable to ascertain the relative importance of things?'
'The crisis is imminent now, yet you're still studying the Go playbook!'
Sir Bi said gently, "This Go playbook… I have seen it before."
The expressions of the trio behind him took on a look of shock.
"Then…"
Sir Bi heaved a soft sigh. Suddenly, there was a gurgling noise in his throat as blood rushed to his lips. Despite his best efforts, a hint of crimson still spilled from the corners of his mouth.
As he spat out a mouthful of blood, the trio behind him grunted in unison. Blood seeped from the corners of their mouth as well.
"Do you all understand now?" Sir Bi asked softly, as he gracefully wiped away the blood staining his mouth.
