The Sealer of the Sword

As for the two words written in bright red fonts, they are [Warning] and [SystemAnnouncement]

The red SeTu-like covering the entire sky, its central part is like a rather thick huge drop of blood, slowly dripping down.But instead of dripping to the ground, the blood suddenly changed shape in mid-air.

What appeared there was a giant nearly twenty meters tall, wearing a crimson cloak.

No, that's a bit incorrect.Because it is looking up from below, you should be able to see the face in the cap that is pulled very low - but there is no face in that part, the whole is hollow, and you can even clearly see the inside of the cap and the stitching on the brim.And inside the long sagging hem, there is only a slight darkness.

The appearance of this NPC may be unfamiliar to new players, but for players who have participated in the beta test, an ominous premonition suddenly arises in their hearts.

And what this NPC said next was also very clear, which verified their hunch.

In Yan Ye's words, it is...

A wretched NPC who thought that wearing a cloak to cover his face could improve his compulsiveness, said to the more than 9500 players present with the attitude of a middle-aged second disease: "How dare you play games without paying 70w?!"

"Ah, my jokers, now I'm going to play a game with you. The name of this game is easy to understand, "If you are a man, go to the 100th floor" Oh ~ how about it, is it very simple? "

"But in order to increase the fun of the game, I set a very user-friendly design. When your HP returns to zero, you can get out."

"You can get out if you don't want to play, and you can't log out of this game. You should also find that the logout button has disappeared, right? That's because I ate it!"

"I put a Pikachu on your helmet in the real world. Once the HP is zero, Pikachu will put [-] volts, and you will go to the street. You can understand what you say."

"If you want to go out, just finish the 100th floor, what are you looking at, I'm just like this, I'm so handsome, come and beat me if you don't agree!"

"Then, let's start the game~"

However, this is just what Yan Ye thought, because he had already seen this plot in his previous life, but for other players, he might be pushed to hell.

The cloak NPC, Akihiko Kayaba, the creator of the game, seems to have played a picture of the riots in the real world halfway through to make his words more authentic.

And Kayaba Akihiko's last sentence made the rioting crowd suddenly quiet: "By the way, at this point in time, there are already many players' family and friends who ignore our warning and try to forcibly remove NERvGear. ,—Unfortunately, there are currently 213 players, permanently retired from the real world and Aincrad."

The crowd, from the initial doubts and anger, slowly turned into fear, and Kayaba Akihiko seemed to be afraid that these players did not collapse, and said kindly: "Finally, I have prepared a small gift for each of you. ."

Of course, Yan Ye knew what Kayaba Akihiko said about the small gift. He opened the tool bar with a wry smile, and saw a mirror-like item lying alone in the upper left corner.

And the name of this item is: Handheld Small Mirror.

Although the name is a bit tricky, its biggest advantage is that it can perfectly replicate the player's appearance in the real world, instead of being able to arbitrarily shape the appearance of male and female genders.

"That's fine, let me see what I look like now." With a sigh to himself, Yan Ye took out the small mirror, although he also imagined that he would show himself when he was seen by the mirror. Originally, but still disappointed.

What appeared on the mirror was an unknown young man.

"Oh, is this young man handsome?"

Yan Ye looked at it carefully and let out a sigh, and saw that the young man in the mirror had a handsome appearance and long black hair. It made him think of Accelerator in an instant.

To sum it up, it's definitely a scourge to be thrown into the pile of women, but I love it!

After nodding narcissistically, Yan Ye thought of luck, and when he turned his head slightly, he found that the girl standing beside him was also holding a small mirror, and after a flash of white light——

Still the same.

"Play games with your true self..."

Yan Ye couldn't help having a black line after seeing how fortunately the appearance in the game and the appearance in the real world turned out to be a grinder.

Should this girl be said to be innocent or silly and cute?

And fortunately seemed to have noticed Yan Ye's sight. When he turned his head to look at Yan Ye, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand to cover his mouth and let out a small exclamation, and then——

"Obviously so handsome... how can it be a pervert..."

"...What's wrong with men being perverted!"

04. The choice between the world and Yan Ye

Nervous, fearful, overwhelmed about the future.

Even though Xing was still joking with Yan Ye, he still clearly saw what was in Xing's eyes.

Fear of the unknown, fear of death.

So what to do now?

Humans tear off all pretense when it comes to events in their own lives.

So although Yan Ye smiled, he was watching Xing's eyes and movements, but it didn't really matter. After all, he was just someone he just met for Xing, and Yan Ye glanced at his level just now—

LV1.

A complete freshman level, not wearing any equipment, some are just novice swords worn around the waist.

So fortunately, you should give up yourself here.

"follow me."

But then fortunately said to Yan Ye after thinking for a while.

Looking at Xing's eyes, Yan Ye smiled.

"I'm here with members of the Computer Research Department...what are you laughing at?"

"No, I just think you're silly and cute."

"Well... I always feel like you're scolding me? I'm almost scared to death if something like this happens... You act like nothing..."
