Although it seems to some people to be a false formalism, it is undeniable that it has indeed reduced the death will of a large number of people, giving them the courage to follow the path of others.

This alone is enough to be commended.

"However, Miss Tongzi, do you know the difference between us and the members of the clearing team? If we are only pursuing safety, then it is fine to lock ourselves in the starting town. Since the few of us continue to level up like this, we naturally hope One day we can also join the battle on the front line. Although all of that is still far away from us, and now it can only be handed over to the top guilds such as the Knights of the Blood Alliance and the Holy Dragon United for the strategy... But I believe that one day, we will definitely be able to Catch up with them!"

Setting up lofty goals all said so with high emotion, the more Qitai said, the more excited he was, wishing that he could rush to the front line to participate in the battle now, and display his own light and heat.

"Well, it's probably an intelligence issue. Those people occupy the more efficient leveling area with more experience, and the tasks with more lucrative rewards. Naturally, the gap with other players is getting wider and wider."

After hesitating for a moment or two, Tongzi could only speak in this way, but she was actually not very good at it in her heart.After all, if she really comes down to it, she also belongs to this type of person, and she doesn't have the face to accuse others.

Although this is the most intuitive reason, Keita seemed not satisfied with the answer, shaking his head and retorting.

"Of course this is also part of the reason. But I think it is willpower. Because they want to protect their companions and protect all players. It is because of this power that they can win the dangerous boss battle. Although we are now I am still the one being protected, but I will never lose to them in this will. So... I think as long as I keep working like this, I will catch up with them one day!"

Adhering to the enthusiasm of the second-year boy or the Japanese-style male protagonist, Keita may be deeply influenced by this aspect of culture, and put forward the idea of ​​​​protecting others.

Haven't many people ever dreamed of becoming a partner of justice?

"Is it... maybe."

She responded verbally perfunctorily, but Tongzi's expression became more and more awkward.

Where the hell is this middle school boy?

The reason why the clearing group is a clearing group is precisely one reason—that is, the persistence of wanting to always stand at the top of thousands of players as a high-end player.

If it is true as what Qitai said, the goal of the strategy team's desperate killing and leveling is really just to protect the players, then the top players should try to provide the information and items they have obtained to the intermediate players.In this way, the basic level of all players can be raised, and the number of people joining the clearing team will be much higher than it is now.

And the reason why they didn't do this is that no matter who they are, they all want to be the strongest person.

Even Tongzi is no exception, which is why she often sneaks out of the hotel with Luo Ye late at night, moving to the front line to upgrade her level, subconsciously afraid of being overtaken by others.

Just wanting to consolidate and maintain that detached sense of superiority, human beings will continue to chase and become stronger...

This is true even in the virtual world.

The strong occupy better and better resources, while the weak can only barely survive in the shadows.

Both Luo Ye and Tong Zi understood this truth, but no one interrupted Keita, it was more suitable for this world to explain to him more realistically.

First of all, there is no need to forcibly correct his thinking, and secondly, no one can assert that this is a wrong thinking.

There is nothing wrong with the ideal of wanting to be a partner of justice, the key lies in how to implement it and whether you have the ability to realize it.

"I hope you can fulfill your promise. Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to tell you something. There is a very rare treasure chest setting in the labyrinth area. Have you heard of it?"

Luo Ye originally wanted to pat her ass and leave, so she dragged Tong Zi and hurried to the higher-ups to see how the upstanding girl Hei Xueji was doing after she had been gone for a month.

If the girl really builds the Black Nebula Guild well as she said, wouldn't they just be able to hug white thighs?For that stubborn girl whom he could not do anything about but also refused to give in, Luo Ye was very concerned about it for some reason.

"Eh? Treasure box, I've heard of it. I heard that there are very rare props in it. What's the matter?"

Qi Tai was a little confused, so he had to ask back, confused and said that he didn't quite understand why Luo Ye suddenly mentioned this matter.

"Although the treasure chest means rich rewards, there will also be a large number of monsters waiting for it. Once the trap switch is triggered, it will be beyond your control at that time, and the teleportation crystal will even be invalidated. There are not many players in the same level. Surviving the wave after wave of offensives is as hopeless as the gap we present today. Therefore... Don't rush to open the treasure chest after encountering it in the wild, you might as well mark the coordinates and come back another day war."

Luo Ye said that for this sake, he almost gave Daoming the next plot, and chose to call it quits.

If he managed to do this and Yue Ye's black cat group still went on the old road, then he really couldn't blame other people, it could only be attributed to their own death.

0446 - Black Swallow Butterfly

As May approached, the weather in Aincrad began to warm up just like in reality.The influence of the cold winter has long since dissipated completely, and everything is turbulent and agitated as quickly as the grass grows and the warblers fly.

Animals, human beings too, all living beings in this world are destined not to escape this vicious circle, everything seems to be arranged in an orderly manner along the established track.

It is for this reason that we gathered together to challenge the god who dominates everything!

Shouting softly in the attitude of a rebel and getting an overwhelming response, Kuroyukihime was planning to challenge [Creator] Akihiko Kayaba, but at this moment she suddenly woke up from her sleep, panting heavily. Sitting up angrily, he immediately realized that everything just now was just an illusion that emerged in his mind.

"Is it just a dream..."

The girl murmured softly, stepping on the icy cold ground with her bare and delicate feet in a trance, stretching her snow-white lotus root arms and dragging the packages in the menu to put the equipment on.

Accompanied by dots of blue light, a pure black gorgeous long dress completely enveloped the slender and hazy body that was in the puberty period.

"Although the attire is similar, but without the wings of the black swallowtail butterfly, is it still a bit unaccustomed?"

As for the avatars that were carefully designed and created in the original world, Kuroyukihime especially misses the feeling of overlooking by speeding up by a thousand times and letting other people applaud.

But after she was summoned by Luo Ye, all this changed.

Not only did she lose her proud ability to become an ordinary female junior high school student, she also inexplicably lost part of her memory, and completely forgot about her family members. It was only when she sneaked into Sword Art Online that she gradually recalled one two.

"Currently, the entire strategy team is stuck on the fifth floor of No.20, and it has been delayed for nearly a month. This is impossible..."

For Kuroyukihime, apart from getting through the game and breaking away from the virtual world, there is another more important reason, namely to restore the part of her lost memory.

This is also the main reason why she is willing to play a full stealth game that is a bit outdated in her opinion.

In her time, AR technology was more popular.Even if you don't have to sit in a chair and lie on the bed, you can see computer simulation products that are comparable to the real ones in reality.

Of course, if you really want to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of VR and AR, it is actually hard to tell the winner.But now Hei Xueji has a thorough understanding of the reasons why the two will have completely different positions in the future.

"That is to say... Because of similar accidents, are you vigorously promoting safer AR and suppressing risky VR as much as possible? This history seems to have not been recorded by many people, and the officials even deliberately concealed it After this scandal, at best, it’s just a brushstroke.”

Kuroyukihime didn't know much about this dusty history, even if she wanted to use hacking techniques to break through the Japanese intelligence agency, she was blocked by stronger means, so that she only roughly guessed what happened back then It's a terrible thing, but I don't know exactly what's going on. Maybe you can only know by asking the person involved.

But how many people survived the catastrophe?Hei Xueji reckoned that if a large number of people in her world were imprisoned in Sword Art Online and could not log out like she is now, even if they could really survive to the end, there would still be some psychological shadows.At that time, you will either have to receive hospital treatment or live in the haze, and it will be difficult to integrate into the lives of normal people.

Therefore...

You can't even count on asking someone in the know.

Although my father and all the mothers are also people who have experienced that era, they probably can't count on it.Looking at the days when they spread dog food everywhere to show their affection, Hei Xueji knew that they must have been living an incomparably comfortable life. What name?

In the end, doesn't she have to go through it herself to figure it out?

However, this time is a bit late.

If she could have predicted such a situation one step in advance, Hei Xueji would not be so passive.

To be honest, at the beginning of being trapped in the virtual world, even she had a little bit of panic, worrying about whether she could return to the real world, whether she could return to the original plane.

But after going through almost numb monster killing and leveling, she was no longer confused in this regard.

No matter what kind of predicament the girl is facing, the girl will go forward without hesitation. This is the philosophy she has always believed in.

It's completely different from her elder sister who knows how to play tricks and cleverness, okay?That guy was greatly influenced by his father!

Thinking of this, Hei Xueji couldn't help but rejoice that she was born a few years late, otherwise, wouldn't the person who was brutally murdered be herself?If she becomes a little bitch like her sister who only knows how to play tricks, the girl will want to die right now, okay?

"Ding--!"

Piaofei's thoughts were suddenly pulled back by a crisp voice, Heixueji focused her gaze and cast her eyes on the interface menu in front of her, only then did she notice a pop-up private chat with friends.

"Tongzi and I came to look for you today. Are you in the main city on the fifth floor of No. 20? Will someone come to meet me if I report the name of Dark Nebula?"

Even without looking at the other party's ID, just looking at Hei Xueji's familiar tone, the young man's unscrupulous and cynical appearance could immediately appear in his mind.

As annoying as her teenage father!

I was thinking of refusing to reply and pretending that I didn't see it at all. Anyway, Hei Xueji has done this many times before. In the end, Luo Ye still came over in a crazy way?

She reckoned that he must have good intentions, and often simply arranged for Paly to ignore him.

but--

Now this time is a bit delicate, the guild is in urgent need of manpower, especially powerful players.

Because the difficulty of the fifth floor of No.20 has increased a lot, it is not so easy to conquer it. Players who have reached this level smoothly are stuck here and cannot go any further. They all understand Know how difficult it is.

Therefore, once who wins this beheading, it will undoubtedly be a big show.Many guilds are gearing up for it. On the one hand, they hope to take this opportunity to expand their reputation and attract more members, and on the other hand, they covet the corresponding generous rewards.

Considering this aspect, Hei Xueji had no choice but to be cautious, her eyes revealed a trace of solemnity, she hesitated for a while before replying reservedly.

"Tell me when you two arrive, and I'll send someone to meet you."

She finally gave the answer...

Chapter 0447 The Black King

The sky was gray and covered with a layer of haze, the scorching sun was hidden behind layers of impenetrable dark clouds, and the whole world was rendered into three colors of black, white and gray as distinct as ink paintings.

When Luo Ye and Tong Zi arrived at the fifth floor of Aincrad No. 20 through the portal, they saw this bleak and desolate scene, and it seemed that a heavy rain would fall on their heads at any moment.

The streets were not as bustling and noisy as in the past. Even pedestrians passing by had tense faces, and all of their faces revealed a dignified meaning, indicating a sense of unrest.

"It is said that Black Nebula is stationed in the east of the city... Of course, that girl said she would send someone to pick us up, so just wait here."

Luo Ye muttered something softly, for some reason she was a little bit concerned about how far that stubborn and silly girl could get out of the team after leaving the team.

Before he had time to think about it, a timid and restless voice reached his ears.

"M-keep you waiting for a long time, are you two the ones that the leader of the Black King said needs to be received?"

Following the movement, I saw a short girl in a black uniform not far away peeking at them out of the corner of her eye. After confirming that it was almost exactly the same as the impression in memory, her face showed such a stiff look. Smile.

"you are?"

Tongzi noticed that the other party seemed to be a little afraid of the two of them, and she spoke softly with a sweet expression on her face, not understanding where the other party's fear came from.

as well as……

What the hell is the Black King?Could it be that Hei Xueji made up the nickname of the second disease?Where did the girl learn this from?

"No, it's nothing. The leader really wants to see you two, so I'll lead the way! Oh, by the way, my name is Ryoko."

The girl who called herself Ryoko spoke so weakly, and was thinking of pulling the two of them out of this place of right and wrong as soon as she was told to avoid something happening, but she still encountered the situation she least wanted to encounter.

"The three of you...couldn't be members of the Black Nebula?"

Upon seeing the three people in black attire here, a circle of young people with at least a dozen or so characters gradually gathered from not far away.They were all dressed in neat uniforms, squinting their eyes and asking solemnly, the evil spirit between their brows could not be concealed, they were as serious as torture prisoners, and the momentum alone gave people a lot of pressure .

"No, no, you are mistaken. They are just my friends who came here to trade."

There was almost a rattling in his heart, Ryoko quickly shook his head and denied it, lowered his head quietly and didn't dare to say anything, just wanted to leave quickly, so as to save one thing and one thing less.

Even though the young man at the head had some doubts, the other subordinates shook their heads and said that they had never seen these three characters in that guild, so he could only restrain his worries and let them rush through the crowd. Disappeared within the range of vision, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Let's continue to adhere to the order of the deputy leader! We must find out the evil guild established by the evil beta players!"

Shouting this slogan in a serious manner, the young man didn't pay attention to these three people any more, but continued to follow his orders, trying to catch the group of lurking rats.

Listening to the movement from afar, Luo Ye and Tong Zi couldn't help but look back a few times, guessing about the situation in their hearts.

"If I'm not mistaken, they seem to be members of the [Army]? What's going on? Why did they ask us if we are members of the Black Nebula? There must be some conflict between you two? "

When Tongzi talked about this aspect, there was inevitably a hint of worry, and even anxiety.

Although the army is a title that everyone uses for sarcasm, it is indeed the most accurate title in a sense.This huge force that has gathered thousands of players, under the leadership of the leader and captains at all levels, mechanically accepts various orders like a puppet, and rigidly follows the orders of the upper-level to carry out various activities.

Although it deprives people of their independent will, it also exerts extraordinarily powerful energy because of being twisted together.Even the most elite front-line raiders are not as good as them. After all, most high-end players fight alone or in small groups.

The difference in numbers is enough to make up for the lack of strength, and the army follows such a style.

But at the same time, their rampant behavior also caused a lot of complaints.However, due to the great power of the other party's family, even if they complained, the people who were bullied did not dare to say it openly, for fear of being remembered and retaliated.

So, why is Black Nebula hated by the army?Even to make such a big fanfare for the entire venue to search and arrest, it is clear that there is any hatred and contradictions, right?

"I, I don't know the details. I only know that the leader seemed to have conflicts with a deputy commander of the army before, and then the conflict was further intensified due to distribution problems during the No.20 fourth-floor lord raid, so there was a The current situation. Hmm. Fortunately, I usually do logistics and haven’t shown up on the front line, otherwise I’m afraid if I find out…”

Liangzi hesitated and said in a low voice, lowered his eyes and mentioned this matter with some entanglement. The truth revealed in a few words made Luoye and Tongzi look at each other, and their expressions instantly became serious.

What the hell?Hei Xueji didn't reveal a single word to them when such a big thing happened, what exactly does this mean?That girl must not be planning to carry it all alone, is she?

Besides...

There have been conflicts and conflicts before, why do these words sound so familiar?

"Isn't that person called Kibaou? It's a man with a cactus head, do you have any impression?"

Tongzi thought about it and felt that this was the only explanation that was the most reasonable. If Kibao really became the deputy leader of the army, with his villainous mentality and great hatred for the former beta testers, it was really possible. Make such a frenzied act of searching and arresting the whole city.

Ryoko didn't seem to expect them to say that name so accurately, and couldn't help but lose her voice in surprise.

"Eh? You, do you all know? It is said that it happened half a year ago when I was still attacking the first floor. Who knows that half a year has passed, and the other party is still thinking about this matter all the time. To the leader Launched a crazy revenge with our guild. A few days ago, two people were hunting monsters in the wild, and their entire equipment was even stripped..."

"Yes, that's right, we not only know, but also experienced it with your leader, the Black King."
