For about ten days, Asuna discovered for the first time that even being trapped in this game, she could live so happily.

It was another new day. After waking up in the morning, Chu Yue and Asuna had a chat, and decided to go to the forest on the [-]nd floor to find ingredients for tonight.

Because the number of floors on the [-]nd floor is not high, there is no danger to Chu Yue and Asuna.The important thing is that some rare ingredients often appear in the forest.

Some are left by monsters, such as honey, pine cones, etc., and some are monsters themselves, such as pheasants, hares and the like.

After arriving at the forest on the [-]nd floor, Asuna smiled happily and said:

"Wow, there is actually a lake here."

Unlike the forest on the first floor where Chuyue's house is located, which is full of trees that are easy to get lost, there is a large lake in the middle of the forest here. Many life players are fishing on the periphery of the lake, making this place full of vitality.

"There are many fish that can be hung up in this lake." Chu Yue said, "Why don't we fish here too?"

"Hmm..." Asuna thought for a while and said, "It's rare to come here, why don't you take a walk?"

"Okay." Chu Yue nodded.

The two continued to hold hands and walked towards the forest.

However, after getting away from the lake, the forest seemed a little darker.

"Hmm... I always feel that this place seems a little... weird." Asuna couldn't help but said.

"Maybe it's because it's a bit dark." Chu Yue said with a smile.

The trees here are tall and tall, and under the cover of leaves, the sunlight rarely shines on the ground.

"Speaking of which, it's easy to have ghost stories in this kind of place," Chu Yue said.

"Huh? Ghost, ghost story?" Asuna looked a little unnatural.

"Oh? Could it be that our deputy leader Asuna..." Chu Yue said with a smile, "Afraid of ghosts, or something like that?"

"No, no!" Asuna said with her eyes closed, "It's just that the atmosphere here feels a bit weird, so..."

"Hey." Chu Yue said with a smile, "I remember, in our China, there is a story called 'Wang Zhilanke'..."

Chu Yue's tone was strange, and Asuna shuddered when she said it.

"Yes, is it a ghost story?" Asuna asked.

"That's not true..." Chu Yue continued to say in a strange tone, "Yes, in ancient times there was a man named Wang Zhi who went to the mountains to collect firewood..."

"Ah!" Before Chu Yue finished speaking, Asuna screamed.

"I haven't said anything!" Chu Yue said.

"That, there!" Asuna pointed to the other side of the forest, "You, ghost!"

"Ghost?" Chu Yue looked strangely at the direction Asuna pointed, and there was a white shadow looming there.

"What is that?" Of course Chu Yue wasn't afraid, and wanted to go over to find out, "Should I go and see?"

"Eh?! Really, do you really want to go?" But at this moment, Asuna was scared.

"Well, don't forget that Sword Art Online was developed by us. I don't remember such a setting...so I'm a little curious." Chu Yue said.

"Stupid, stupid!" Asuna cursed.

"If you are afraid..." Chu Yue stretched out her hand and said, "Just hold my hand tightly."

Looking at Chu Yue's hand, Asuna hesitated for a moment, but reached out and grabbed it tightly.

Walking towards the place where the white shadow appeared, only to find that it seemed to be a person in white clothes.Because of the distance, when the person walked in the forest, his sight was often blocked by trees, so it was only faintly visible.

After getting closer, I became more certain.

Not just a person, but a little girl in a plain white dress.And that black waist-length hair still looks a bit like Chu Yue.

"That...could it be..." Chu Yue suddenly thought of someone.

"Chu, do you know Chu Yue?" Asuna asked.

"Let's hurry up!" Chu Yue didn't explain, but suddenly picked up Asuna and ran towards the girl.

"Ah!" Asuna was suddenly picked up by Chu Yue, and she yelled, but soon, Chu Yue carried her to the girl's side, and saw clearly the true face of this "ghost".

After putting down Asuna, Chu Yue walked up to the girl.

But at this moment, the girl fainted. Chu Yue hurriedly supported the girl, not letting her fall to the ground.

"Chu Yue, who is this...?" Asuna asked.

"She...it should be Yui." Chu Yue said with an agitated expression.

"Yui?" Asuna said, "Yes, a player?"

"No." Chu Yue said, "Look, she doesn't have an arrow on her head."

On the player's first-person interface, individuals who are also players will have a green arrow above their heads to distinguish players from NPCs.

"So it's an NPC?" Asuna asked.

"It's not an NPC either..." Chu Yue said, "If it was an NPC, if I hug her directly like this now, the harassment warning window will already pop up."

"That's right..." Asuna said, "Then, who is she?"
