People in the old man ring, join the chat group

"Ok?"

Now it was the girl's turn to be surprised, she raised her head and stared blankly at him, took advantage of the situation to look again, and then revealed a curious gaze.

"Hee hee hee, it's really interesting..."

She didn't see the familiar green mark on the head of the man in front of her.

If there is such an item that can be disguised as an NPC, how could she, the biggest information dealer in Aincrad, not know about it?

What's more, even if there is such a thing, it is not something that should appear on the first floor.

Moreover, the equipment on this person in front of him is still so good, all of which are advanced equipment that he has never seen before.

What is this if it's not an NPC?

But it's really interesting.

So, he stretched out his hand and introduced himself: "Hi, I'm Argo, nice to meet you."

For a moment, the girl wanted to communicate with this NPC.

After all, the NPC in front of me is not like the others who only repeat those few sentences over and over again.

If you do this, you may be able to get more information, and maybe you can learn how the task is triggered.

It's just that the faded person, who had already matured, seemed to see the other party's thoughts, and his expression became even more unhappy.

What does this guy think of me?

After staring at the girl who called herself Argo for a few seconds, his expression gradually returned to calm, and he said lightly:

"Forget it, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll let you go."

After leaving such an unclear sentence, he turned around and walked up the steps back to the corridor.

He also ignored the girl's subsequent reaction.

But he didn't knock on Asuna's door again, but stayed near the door, leaned against the wall, closed his eyes and took a nap for a while, like a door god.

"...It's really an NPC full of personality."

Seeing the faded person wandering in the corridor, Argo had an inexplicable smile on his face, planning to follow and observe for a few days.

If this NPC really has any special mission, it can be sold for a big price.

It's no wonder that she gave up the best time for leveling to come here to collect information.

PS: The picture at the end of the last chapter was just discovered by me by accident. I want to share it with all readers. It’s really not the QwQ I wrote. Please hold your hand high....

Really just wanted to share, that's all.

I won’t post this kind of pictures next time, I will only post Shi pictures and Le Zi pictures in the future QwQ

250. Fader: Isn’t this a replica of me?

Silent all night.

The sun rises as usual, but today's sky is slightly gloomy and a little breathless.

squeak-

There was a faint sound from the door, which woke the faded man up.

"Hey, you're awake, good morning."

"..."

Asuna staggered out from the inside, ignored his greeting, passed him by as if she didn't hear it.

Yamabuki's long hair was a little messy, and he didn't even change his clothes, which were the same ones he wore yesterday.

With a dull expression, he slowly walked towards the stairs.

Fader: ? ? ?

what's the situation?Why does it look more serious than yesterday?

Out of curiosity, he quietly followed.

However, after he left town following in Asuna's footsteps, a little tail named Argo appeared behind him.

Argo, who was lurking next to the building carefully for fear of being discovered, looked at the faded person who was walking into the wild with doubts in his heart.

The girl walking in front had some impression that she often teamed up with a beta tester named Mitt, but at this time Mitt was not following her, but the faded person who claimed to be not an NPC was following behind. .

"It's suspicious... Could it be that she triggered this NPC mission?"

While murmuring in a low voice, he continued to follow quietly.

However, poor Kirito was abandoned in the hotel...

-------------------------------------

I don't know how long it took, Asuna supported her tired body and walked alone through the forest and across the grassland to a brand new town, staggering on the quaint bluestone streets.

His face still had that distraught look on his face, and he passed by the pedestrians around him.

This is still a town full of medieval style, dissatisfied with the slightly old-fashioned tile-roofed houses, but the scale is more magnificent than the previous one, and it is almost impossible to see the end. There is a huge black light in the distance. palace.

This is the starting town, the starting point for everyone when the game was launched.

The sky at this moment has been completely shrouded in haze, the sky is dark and the clouds are very low, just like the girl's mood at this moment is as depressing.

Just last night, she had a dream.

I dreamed that I left the game and returned to my family.

Mother didn't scold, and very rarely praised her, and even celebrated with her brother and father for her success in the exam.

Seeing such a warm picture, tears inadvertently flowed from the corners of her eyes, dripping slowly like crystals onto the table and smashed to pieces.

Because she clearly realized that this was just a dream.

How could a mother who was always strict be so gentle?

And how could a busy father propose to take them on a trip?

At this moment, the picture suddenly shattered, and she returned to the time when she was besieged by a large number of pitcher plants.

Her best friend Mitte ruthlessly abandoned her, watching her with cold eyes being bound by many tentacles and slowly being swallowed up, and Mitte also slowly turned around and left...

Yes, this is reality.

Now she is really alone, no one can help her, she can only die alone.

"Hey, did you know? The group of people who aimed to clear this game finally arrived at the labyrinth area on the first floor yesterday."

"It's going to be 3 weeks soon, and I just got here... How many years will it take to clear the customs?"

"Clear the customs? Are you talking nonsense? How is it possible! 1800 people have already died..."

"No matter how hard you try, everyone will die in the end..."

Despair spread in the initial town like a plague. This group of people hid in the town without even the courage to go out into the wild, but they pointed and even sneered at those who were fighting desperately at the forefront.

Thinking that clearing SAO or something is tantamount to daydreaming.

However, these words also reached Asuna's ears, especially the word of death immediately made her body tremble, and the lingering shadow like a nightmare lingered in her almost broken heart.

"...Death or something, I don't want..."

She tried to block the sounds with her hands over her ears.

But these sounds were transmitted directly into her brain like magic sounds.

A drizzle slowly fell from the sky, as if to wash away the hustle and bustle of despair.

Asuna ran in the heavy rain and finally escaped to the central square where Kayaba Akihiko summoned all the players.

She just sat motionless on the stone steps under the stele, holding free bread in her hand, letting the heavy rain pat on her body.

Her long Yamabuki-colored hair gradually got wet, covering her face and making it impossible to see her expression. But judging from the current situation, she must be feeling very desperate, right?

Standing in the distance, the faded man leaning on the stone pillar with his arms folded stared at the girl from afar.

He was so familiar with this scene that he couldn't be more familiar with it.

When he died several times at the hands of Markit, when Melina threw himself into the cauldron of fire, he became the king of Elden and found that he could not save Melina.

The same is true for him, walking in the drizzle, looking up at the dark sky, letting the rain drip from his face, it seems that only in this way can he feel better.

It was then that he fell in love with the rain.

And what he knows better is——

This hurdle can only be passed by himself, and the help of others is useless, so he did not pass it.

He also became more and more interested in this girl named Asuna.

It was as if he was staring at his past self, which made him want to give this girl a hand even more.

Right to help your past self.

At this moment, the girl slowly picked up the black hard bread she was holding in her hand, not knowing whether she couldn't resist the hunger or wanted to summon up her courage, she began to bite into it.

But this movement stopped quickly.

The hands holding the bread tightly were trembling slightly.

The black pantyhose wrapped around her thighs and the bread in her hand soon got wet. She didn't know whether it was rain or her tears.

She is very confused and desperate now.

Not sure what to do next.

She used to rely on her best friend Mitt, but after Mitt abandoned herself, she was really helpless.

The words that Kayaba Akihiko told the players back then kept repeating in his mind:

"Finally, I would like to advise everyone—although this is a game, it is not a joke."

These words echoed in her mind over and over again.

As Kayaba Akihiko said, this game is really not a joke.

People who are killed will die, and this sentence is also applicable here.

this is the truth.

"This is my reality..."

The bread fell out of her hands, fell to the ground and disappeared with a slight cracking sound.

"I already...can't choose how to live..."

"but--"

The girl seemed to have made up her mind at this moment, slowly stood up and looked up at the sky, letting the oncoming fine raindrops slap her face.

"At least I can choose how to die, so that I can stick to myself."

251. Kidnapping Girls Fighting Great Success 4K

"I can't do anything."

This was Asuna's state a few days ago.

And now....

Clang——

With the faint effect sound, the long sword glowed with pink light, posing in a posture parallel to the ground.

This is the auxiliary system that all SAO players rely on for survival - sword skills.

Without the assistance of sword skills, it is estimated that all the players in SAO would not even be able to get out of Novice Village, the starting town.

At the same time, the sword skill system was fully charged, and Asuna also moved at this time.
