What the hell is this movie theater?

Yuuki could only mutter softly at this time.

Although I had noticed before that this strange player seemed to think highly of me, the words "Mastering body balance, even ordinary people like me can make it instinctive through actual combat training" really confirmed what I vaguely felt. idea.

Su Hong didn't take her complaints seriously at all, "After all, people can't be generalized. Some people can shake their butts hard on steel pipes at a young age and win, and some can surpass human physical records at a young age. , things like mastering dynamic balance are really not on the table.”

"Ah...are what you said a little offensive to Olympic gymnasts?"

"Mastering dynamic balance and mastering the art of dynamic balance are two different things." Su Hong looked at the energetic girl who didn't know how long she could live speechlessly. "After all, can you not say this when I am teaching you?" Such a digression that has nothing to do with the teaching content?”

Yuuki's face became very serious, and he stretched out his right hand in front of his mouth to make a zipper gesture, "I understand!"

"You... forget it."

Su Hong wanted to complain that Yuuki's behavior was not convincing at all, but he still tried his best to avoid the process of establishing contact and trust with Yuuki, so he just started to take out chopsticks from his backpack and use two chopsticks to explain to Yuuki. Practical application of Newton's first law to human armed combat.

"In the first grade of elementary school, we learned about the inertia described by Newton's first law, which means that when we spin like a top, the center line and center of gravity of the body will also change..."

In front of a corner seat of a cafe in the real world, Kikuoka Seijiro was using his laptop to check online rumors about [Death Gun]. But just as he was just thinking about something, the sound from in front of him made him instinctively stop his thoughts. Thinking, he looked at Kiritani Kazuto who was sitting in front of him.

"It's so slow, Kirito-kun."

"I came here quickly enough, Mr. Kikuoka," Kiritani Kazuto said helplessly, "Who made a sudden call asking me to come here from ten kilometers away?"

"After all, it is a major matter related to human life, so I will bother you to work harder."

Kikuoka Seijiro turned the computer in his hand and pushed it to Kiritani Kazuto.

"The "GGO" player group that has been very popular in recent days has also circulated game rumors about [Death Gun]. It is rumored that there is a [Death Gun] in GGO that can kill real game players through the Internet, and what is unique is that Recently, four GGO players died while playing GGO."

Kiritani Kazuto frowned and flipped through the document information recorded on the computer.

The four deceased were all wearing gaming helmets when they were discovered, and the time of death was consistent with the information provided by the deceased’s friends in the game. The cause of death was heart failure——

The time when the deceased went offline was very close to the time of his death, and the deceased had shown that he was covering his heart and in great pain before going offline.

"It is rumored that people who are targeted by the [Death Gun] and hit by any means will die in reality. This is why I asked you to come out to meet - I want to ask you to investigate this [Death Gun]."

"Although I really want to help you investigate [Death Gun], I don't guarantee that I can truly investigate the identity of [Death Gun]," Kiritani Kazuto said helplessly, "Just the incident of Nobuyuki Sugou has cost us a lot of money. It took a long time to find out, and it was found out by chance.”

"Then I have to ask you to go and investigate." Seijiro Kikuoka stretched out his hand and pushed up his glasses. "Due to the particularity of virtual reality technology and new cyber crimes, it is very difficult for the police to conduct evidence collection investigations in virtual games. , I can only rely on you, the hero who got through SAO."

"Don't leave it to me to do what the police should do...I'm just getting ready to become an adult now."

Kikuoka Seijiro said with a smile, "Isn't now the best opportunity to prove your incompetence as a young talent and a Japanese bureaucrat? Even if you become a qualified social person in the future, you can use this matter as your own talking point."

"Don't take the incompetence of Japanese bureaucrats for granted, especially when you are still a Japanese government official. Is it really okay to say this?"

"Just because I am a Japanese government official, I am more qualified to talk about this matter?" Seijiro Kikuoka said with a smile, "If you investigate any useful information, or directly investigate the true identity of Death Gun, If so, then you can directly receive the reward for this commission - this time the reward is 60 yen, do you want to take the next step?"

"Ah."

Kiritani Kazuto nodded and accepted the commission.

In fact, it’s not that he needs the 60 yen very much, but——

If the urban legend of "Death Gun" is true, "Death Gun" can also kill real-life gamers on the Internet, much like Kayaba Akihiko's new cybercrime trapping them in a death game.

Logically speaking, the new type of helmet no longer has the function of "roasting the player's brain". It is almost impossible to kill real people on the Internet. I am afraid that the only way to achieve this is through other means in reality. Effect.

Even if a similar effect can be achieved, what is the point of doing such a thing?Kayaba Akihiko may want to create his own world, but [Death Gun] really exists...then what is it for?

"It seems that you have entered the state, Kirito-kun, so I can rest assured," Kikuoka Seijiro stood up from the table with a smile, "I still have some things to do, so I won't accompany you. "

"Ah."

Kiritani Kazuto closed the computer in front of him and handed it to Kikuoka Seijiro. Kikuoka Seijiro also asked Kikuoka Seijiro to take the computer handed over by Kiritani Kazuto and put it in his briefcase. He seemed to suddenly think of something again and said.

"Ah, ah, yes, I almost forgot."

"what?"

"Actually, when our virtual class was collecting information in GGO, we once collected an Internet rumor that was even stranger than [Death Gun] - it seemed that it was also an Internet rumor that came from the mouths of SAO survivors who were playing GGO."

Kikuoka Seijiro showed a strange expression that was half a smile but not a smile.

“Some SAO survivors claimed that they had seen the video of [beggars in the hotel] posted in GGO’s official video area, but our members of the Imagination Section did not find any videos to support this claim.”

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, then I'll go first."

Kikuoka Seijiro left the coffee shop with his briefcase, leaving Kiritani Kazuto, who was still underage, to hold his chin and fall into deep thought.

Kiritani Kazuto's intuition told him that there should be a connection between [Death Gun] and [the news that the store manager once appeared in GGO], but it was unclear what the connection was between [Death Gun] and [the store manager].

It is not impossible if someone uses the identity of [Store Manager] to do illegal and criminal things.

"The store manager..."

Although nearly a year has passed, the memory of the store manager... or the store manager as a person will not be forgotten so easily.

Although Argo also vaguely mentioned that the store manager seems to be still alive this year, no proof has been found that the store manager is still alive this year. Now the news about the store manager appears together with [Death Gun]...

Kiritani Kazuto took out his cell phone from his pocket and called Argo.

The first call he made didn't go through, but the second time it only rang for five or six seconds before Argo picked up the call, "Oh? Tongzi...it's really strange that he would call me."

"Argo...I just met Mr. Kikuoka."

"Huh? Was it the Japanese official who previously asked you to investigate Nobuyuki Sugou?"

"That's right," Kiritani Kazuto nodded and said, "Mr. Kikuoka said that there are rumors about a player named [Death Gun] in GGO. There are already four dead people who seem to be related to the rumors of [Death Gun], so Kikuoka Mr. Oka wants me to investigate this matter...and there is indeed something worthy of our attention in GGO."

"I think it's better to stay away from Kikuoka as soon as possible - although we are indeed survivors of SAO, we are still too young compared to people like this who hang out in the officialdom. Maybe we will be taken over at some point. You can’t say that Kikuoka is considered an outcast.”

Argo first reminded Kirito to pay attention to Kikuoka and then said something else.

"So, what is something worth paying attention to?"

"Mr. Kikuoka said that while [Death Gun]'s message was spreading among the GGO player community, some people in the SAO survivor player circle who played GGO also claimed to have met the store manager in GGO."

Argo muttered quietly, "This is surprising."

"Accident?"

"Well, anyway, you don't need to pay too much attention to that crazy rumor," Argo said casually, "Although I can't tell you the detailed information, he is indeed alive and kicking now - you can naturally meet him if the opportunity is right. .”

Kirito heard that there was a hidden meaning in Argo's words, but before he could think about the hidden meaning behind these words, Argo spoke again.

"Yui and I will first go to GGO to investigate the rumors about [Death Gun]. When you are ready to enter GGO to investigate [Death Gun], I will hand over the collected information to you."

"Do not……"

Before Kirito could say anything about rejecting her help, he heard the sound of interrupting the call, which also made him look at the call history displayed on his phone with a strange expression and fell into deep thought.

"...Is there something wrong with Argo's reaction?"

Kirito and Argo met during the beta test of "SAO", three years ago now, and they had already become close friends during the SAO period when they were trapped in the game.

——Although it is a bit expensive.

However, no matter how good the relationship between Argo and herself was as an intelligence supplier, she should not let the all-rounded woman hang up the phone in a hurry like she just did.

"Could it be my imagination...maybe she just hung up the phone because there was something urgent...or maybe she was just in a bad mood?"

——The currently underage Kazuto Kiritani rubbed his head and was puzzled.

25. Great God Sanhe, who dares to insult me?When a common man is angry, he will be killed no matter how far away he is!

——As the saying goes, there are so many tomorrows.

Su Hong's game life was as boring as a running account and had not changed much.

During this week, he still spent the day leisurely in GGO, and at night he taught Yuuki the flow he had learned during the battle outside the circle.

Mr. Su Hong believes that as long as life is boring enough and open-minded enough to become a veritable waste, then neither the capitalists nor the stupid system will ever think of exploiting a waste who lives a carefree life.

Today, Mr. Su Hong is still humming a little tune and continues to wander around the cyber city. He also sees advertisements for the second BOB competition being placed all over the city. There are also more players on the streets because of the second BOB competition. .

To a certain extent, being busy is actually not a good thing - it can easily cause road congestion like it is now.

A group of heavily armed muscular men walked towards the street and blocked the sidewalk. Su Hong could only let Su Hong walk onto the wide road without vehicles to make way for them.

Just the moment Su Hong passed by these big guys——

From the corner of his eye, he caught one of the big guys rushing toward him from under the big guy's cover. He instinctively took a step back to avoid the big guy's sudden attack, and then raised his foot. He kicked the big guy on the waist and kicked him straight away.

The muscular guys and Su Hong, who retracted his feet, remained silent for a moment. Finally, the big guy who was kicked out and rolled twice on the road shouted loudly.

"It's him, it's definitely him!"

The muscular guys immediately took out the lightsabers from their backpacks and held them in their hands. Su Hong immediately took off the lightsabers from his waist, turned around, and ran wildly on the broad road without cars.

"Follow him!"

Although Su Hong's heart was as wild as the sea, he already knew that his vest had been lost in a moment of confrontation with that big guy, and he didn't know that he had been so reclusive and had not done anything in GGO, how could he be caught by them without any warning? Opened the box——

But this kind of thing has to wait until all of them are solved before they can be tortured to extract confessions.

Although Su Hong had already visited this cyber city while wandering aimlessly during this period, and he would definitely be able to speed through it without any damage through guerrilla warfare, but——

no need.

Su Hong led the pursuers behind him to sprint on the road. During the sprint, he kept getting closer to the street. Then he rushed towards the street lamp standing in front of the curb and stretched out his left hand. He directly used his body to swing and kicked the pursuers behind him. The big guy kicked him away and landed easily.

Those big guys who couldn't brake were hit by Su Hong who was well prepared like he was playing baseball. With a stick from the left and a kick from the right, he knocked all the big guys who were chasing after him at full speed and couldn't brake and fell onto the road.

Su Hong put away his lightsaber under the confused and shocked gazes of the surrounding GGO players, then casually grabbed the collar of a big one and asked loudly, "How did you find me?"

"Don't, don't be too happy, hotel beggar, we just told other SAO players about your true identity when we were chasing you -"

"What the hell I asked was how did you determine my identity! You actually answered the question incorrectly!"

Su Hong lifted up the big guy that he grabbed from the ground and shook it wildly, trying to get the information he wanted from him through the torture of inducing vomiting, but he was very stubborn and remained silent.

"You'd better put him down - he's just here to confirm the news."

Argo's voice suddenly reached Su Hong's ears, causing him to subconsciously turn his head and look in the direction of the sound - Argo, who was wearing motorcycle overalls, was holding his arms and leaning against the person he just heard. Under the streetlight used for turning around, I watched him interrogate the big guy.

Su Hong then threw away the big guy who had entered the defeated CG, looked sideways at Argo, and after a moment of silence, he said seriously, "If I say that I am not a beggar in the hotel, will you believe it?"

At this time, Argo nodded uncharacteristically, "As long as you are happy."

"..."

Su Hong didn't know how to react now. All in all, he was a little at a loss by Argo's unexpected answer.

But he has long understood that as long as he is not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed, so he shamelessly put this conversation and confusion behind him.

"When did you come to GGO? And when did you discover my identity?"

"I don't want to talk to you here and then get involved in your street brawl," Argo curled his lips, "There are already SAO players rushing here."

The big guy who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead suddenly roared like an aunt in the market, "Argo! Why did you tip him off! Did you betray the organization!"

"You, a child like you, have no business interrupting what an adult is saying." Su Hong pulled out the lightsaber from his waist. "It seems you don't know what respect means unless I spank you hard."

"Okay," Argo said after sighing, "come with me."

Su Hong was at a loss by the attitude shown by Argo. He stayed in a daze for a moment. When Argo turned sideways and looked at him again, he allowed him to turn off the lightsaber in his hand and hang it on his waist.

If he follows his policy of avoiding war and hiding and seeking, what he should do now is not to continue to stay in GGO and continue to act in a big way, nor should he follow Argo——

Except he did.

Argodu took him to the motorcycle rental area in front of the road. After renting the motorcycle, he rode it and stopped in front of him. He just patted the back seat and pointed at the other motorcycles.

Su Hong could only say tactfully, "I'm not sure what you mean..."

Argo just stared at him with a look of disgust and said nothing, so Su Hong could only raise his hand and touch his head, considered what he should do, and finally sat in Argo's back seat.

The motorcycle hit the accelerator and drove onto the wide road, silently and silently carrying him through the city streets at lightning speed. A few minutes later, it stopped in front of a hotel in the northeast corner of the city.

The moment the motorcycle stopped in front of the hotel, Argo, who had led him to the hotel, casually said the information he had to care about.

"Someone has known for a long time that you are living anonymously in this game, and intentionally or unintentionally linked you with [Death Gun] in the GGO group of online SAO survivors."

"what?"

"get off."

Su Hong didn't know how to deal with the current Argo. He could only treat her as a silver player and agreed that everything she said was right. He got out of the car obediently and stood beside the car silently pretending to be an expert.

Argo also got out of the car, took Su Hong into the hotel, went to one of the rooms, opened the door, and took Su Hong to the hotel where he and Yui lived during this period, and sat directly on the sofa in the living room.
