What the hell is this movie theater?

——This is the power of DNA!

3. The green hills bloom at the foot of the rolling hills

Yuuna Shigemura has had the worst week of her life.

When she heard about the emergence of the world's first fully stealth virtual online game, she was full of expectations. Although she was not qualified to be a closed beta player because of this, she was still very interested in Sword Art Online, a cross-generational virtual stealth game. and curiosity.

I just didn't expect that not long after the public beta was launched, the game's developer "Kayaba Akihiko" teleported everyone to the central square, restored everyone's real appearance and cruelly announced the beginning of the "death game".

If this game is not cleared, everyone will stay in this created virtual world and be isolated from their real family members.

——As long as you clear the game, you can go back.

No one could say this so easily.

Because not many people are willing to bet on whether Kayaba Akihiko's "Game of Death" is real or a joke.

I have no friends or family here. If I don't move forward, I will be trapped here for the rest of my life. But if I move forward, I have to bear the possibility of death at any time.

The fear of death and loneliness has never been so close to her as it is now, and she realizes it so clearly. Therefore, after shedding tears, she was confused and could only watch the creation by Kayaba Akihiko in the night sky of Aincrad. Out of the false starry sky, I don’t know where my future will go.

"Ye——"

The harsh and familiar sound of sawing wood sounded in the distance and reached her ears, which also allowed her to see the "hotel beggar" sitting by the pool in the central square.

In front of the "Hotel Beggar" was a wooden sign with unknown meaning written in Chinese characters... and a bowl.

In fact, this is not the first time Yuna has seen this "beggar in the hotel". Rather, Yuna can often hear this "beggar in the hotel" next to the hotel when he goes back to the hotel at nine o'clock in the evening. The sound of sleeping people snoring came from the shallow alley.

She also saw this "beggar in the hotel" when she went out in the morning. He was playing the violin and yelling something in Chinese that she couldn't understand.

Therefore, the "beggars in the hotel" are also called "beggars from China" by some people.

When the familiar sound of sawing wood sounded, the harsh sound interrupted her thoughts immersed in sadness, causing her to instinctively turn her eyes to this "beggar in the hotel".

"Cough cough!"

The "beggar at the hotel" coughed, and immediately stood the battered violin on his lap. The fingers of his left hand pressed the strings, and he picked up the bow with his right hand.

Yuna Shigemura immediately frowned, moved her eyes to the side, and was about to get up and leave without seeing anything. However, the moment she stood up, she heard the cheerful and short sound of the piano, which made her freeze on the spot, and also Instinctively, he turned his attention back to the "beggar in the hotel" who was playing the violin in a strange posture.

Su Hong only felt something bad now.

It's not that there is anything wrong with the performance, but that Phoenix Legend's destructive power is too great. Even the melody played by the violin solo makes his head instinctively beat the most dazzling ethnic style in accordance with the rhythm bit by bit... …

——DNA! It’s DNA! The power of DNA is so huge! I can no longer suppress the ancient power in my body!

"The vast end of the world is full of love~ the foot of the rolling green mountains is ringing~ what kind of rhythm is the most joyful~ what kind of rhythm is the most joyful~"

The "Beggars at the Inn" fell in the fight with "The Most Powerful Wind".

Under the control of DNA, Su Hong had no choice but to finish the performance of "The Wind", which he played and sang, and then simply broke the pot and started to perform the ultimate show——

"You brought me to this world just to have fun with me! I'll let you have as much fun as you can!"

——Let’s see how you can gather the protagonists of three popular dramas together in this situation and let out the exclamation of F.M.D. Stitch Monster!

"Come on Qin!"

Su Hong was furious, and the 1000 million horsepower of the Phoenix Legend was growing crazily in his body, as uncontrollable as when Jean Gray awakened the Phoenix Power for the first time.

Brainwashing songs and catchy melodies once again filled the central square on the first floor of Aincrad with magic.

"~You sing love songs with me, watch the tiny fireworks floating in the world, my love is waiting~"

"I am always warm and warm~"

"I am looking forward to~仴煷と仩~"

"Here we are, flying freely~"

The crazy Su Hong finally stopped.

It's not that he's burned out, it's that he doesn't have enough songs in reserve.

"It's great!"

Although he was still a little unfinished, Su Hong looked at the scattered NPCs surrounding him who were clapping mechanically, and then at the huge sum of 700G that he had received, and finally packed up his luggage and ran away with satisfaction.

Although selling equipment and materials may cost more than 700G, he doesn't have to take risks, but bread and water are extremely cheap in the game, and even living in a hotel only costs 120G.

This huge sum of 700G was enough for him to rest happily in the hotel for nearly a week.

The actual benefits don't stop there.

Su Hong clearly remembered that his silent system was similar to other movie viewing systems. It was essentially a slicing or viewing system, so as long as the content of the "live broadcast/fan drama" was bad enough, it could be sliced. The clips don't have much to offer, and they can go straight from the source to Keima Katsuragi.

It's really powerful, powerful.

Su Hong packed his luggage into his backpack, returned to the shallow alley next to the hotel, covered himself with a quilt, and rested.

Because he had only been studying the violin and music arrangement system for nearly a week, and there was no other entertainment. Naturally, there was no exciting mobile nightlife, so he was forced to develop a healthy habit of going to bed early and getting up early.

But he had already made up his mind before he went to bed.

——He wants to turn the central square of SAO into a square dance square. Whenever night comes, he will appear with a violin and play the classic dance music that is forced to be engraved in his DNA.

Even if he can only recall snippets of commonly used square dance songs, he will use his own strength to promote the local square dance culture of SAO people, so that China and Japan can blossom.

Whether you like it or not, it doesn't matter.

Because Keima Keima's ability to rub the system with his hands and stop the universe was beyond his understanding. Keima Keima would be easier to tease him than an ant. Whether he could go home or not was just a matter of words from him. things.

Maybe he completed the task conscientiously, and then Keima Katsuragi, as the Party A, would ask for something.

Besides, if he could stand being so angry, would he quit his job and go home to discover the fun he just made up on stupid Zhihu?

4. What kind of rhythm is the swing?

Yuna Shigemura's already troubled life has changed a little recently.

--Or.

The troubled lives of many gamers trapped on the first floor of Aincrad due to fear of death have undergone some new changes recently.

Because the scope of activities of the "hotel beggar" has changed.

Originally, the scope of activity of "Hotel Beggar" was only around the hotel. From the first time he appeared in the central square to perform songs, he would come to the ornamental pool in the central square every night when the sky was completely dark. He sat down in front of him, took out the begging wooden signs and bowls one by one, placed them, and then started to prepare to play.

Most of the songs he plays are cheerful and catchy melodies. Sometimes they are fragments of songs, sometimes the whole song and sung fragments, and sometimes it is a performance of a sung song.

Therefore, Yuna Shigemura became instinctively curious about him.

Shigemura Yuna's curiosity about this foreigner is not about the catchy rhythm of the songs he plays, nor about the meaning of the foreign lyrics he sings, nor about how his singing voice, which is obviously untrained in vocals, is created. These songs... are more core, more curious about the questions they want to know.

Even untrained people like her, who come to the central square every day, can tell from the expression of this "hotel beggar" that his emotions are completely unconcealed.

【Happy】【Comfortable】【Enjoy yourself】.

——His unconcealed feelings are what makes Yu Shigemura instinctively curious.

From the time Kayaba Akihiko announced the Death Game until now, the entire Aincrad... no, the atmosphere of the entire game has been extremely gloomy. Almost everyone's face is solemn and pessimistic, and the air on the street has also become... Abnormally solidified, you can even often see someone sitting on the street suddenly bursting into tears.

Yuna Shigemura was also in this group of people, and he sobbed uncontrollably more than once.

It was under such an environment that the "hotel beggar" came to sit down in the central square, put out his wooden sign and bowl, and sat in front of the pool while cheerful music played, and he often got up and sang, enjoying himself.

Therefore, after the "Hotel Beggar" played for the first time, Shigemura Yuuna subconsciously cared about this "Hotel Beggar". Every morning when he went out, he would care whether he was still in the alley. When I go back at night, I would slow down my steps and listen to his snoring while sleeping in the alley.

Shigemura Yuna has no idea that he is an "abnormality" among the vast majority of Aincrad players, or just light players like her who just want to try and experience the first full stealth game. Where does the happy emotion come from.

——Have you never worried that you will be trapped here for the rest of your life? Have you never worried that your life can be manipulated at will by Kayaba Akihiko?Are you really enjoying the death game of SAO?Are you just... not afraid of death?

But she didn't ask this question to the "beggar in the hotel".

——Because she didn’t know Chinese and didn’t know how to communicate with him, she naturally didn’t dare to muster up the courage to ask her questions to this familiar stranger named “The Beggar in the Hotel”.

"Ye——"

The familiar sound of sawing wood once again interrupted Shigemura Yuna's thoughts, and also made her focus on this "beggar in the hotel". She watched him ignore the eyes of many complicated thoughts and just mind his own business. Play the violin.

The brisk and catchy melody that he had heard several times sounded again, and Yuna Shigemura once again saw the expression on his face that was intoxicated with the music, and he started singing with his untrained voice in line with the rhythm of the music. Lyrics she didn't understand but did hear.

"The vast end of the world is full of love~ the foot of the rolling green mountains is ringing~ what kind of rhythm is the most joyful~ what kind of rhythm is the most joyful~"

Shigemura Yuuna was originally in a trance because of the usual "cathartic joy" of "The Beggar at the Hotel", until she suddenly realized that she was humming along with his nasal voice, which was sometimes off-key and incomprehensible.

When she realized this, she subconsciously raised her hands to cover her mouth, and then looked around at the game players who were also paying attention to the performance of "Hotel Beggars", hoping that no one would notice her actions. .

Only then did she discover with surprise...

The performance of other players didn't seem to be much better than hers.

Some players gently beat the beat with their fingers, some players nod slightly and imperceptibly along with the rhythm, and some players shake their legs to follow the singing.

Shigemura Yuuna suddenly realized that this time was different from before.

Aincrad's solemn, pessimistic and fearful atmosphere is enough to make people breathless. At least in the central square, at this moment, it is occupied by the "beggars of the hotel" whose lifestyle and behavior patterns are extremely abnormal. Broken.

--Could it be that.

Shigemura Yuna stared blankly at the "hotel beggar" who spared no effort and could even be called over-performing and exerting too much force.

—— Could it be that the "Hotel Beggar" has been trying to make everyone happy these days, so even though he has no systematic music training, he spent a week studying SAO's music system without any sleep or food, and devoted himself to it with the help of I created and reproduced a cheerful song based on my inner feelings. I hope that with this cheerful melody, everyone can at least not think about the heavy reality we are facing today?

Her heart felt like it was hit by a heavy hammer. It was blank for a short time, and then there was an unknown force from where to fill the huge hole and nothingness that had been formed in her heart these days. She could only sit blankly on the bench on the edge of the central square on the first floor of Aincrad, watching the "hotel beggar" perform so hard that it was even comical.

From this moment on, the whole world seemed to be blurred. She didn't even know who she was or why she appeared in this strange place, but there seemed to be a voice in her heart whispering in her ear asking her to do something.

Although she didn't even know what she wanted to do, she did want to listen to this voice and do something, and do something that she could do with her own strength.

Under the moonlight shining from the false starry sky of Aincrad, Su Hong stopped his performance tonight with the last song "The Wind", carrying a huge sum of 891G amidst the extremely dull applause of the NPCs. Leave gracefully.

——As if the most earthy, social, and alien person in Aincrad is not as carefree and free as he is.

5. What kind of rhythm is the most enjoyable~

"Aincrad has undergone many changes recently."

The man in black robe sat down on the seat opposite, which made Xinka's eyes turn back from the window and look at the sealer sitting opposite.

"After all, cheaters like you have been upgrading your level and equipment in order to take the lead after realizing that this is a death game, so that you have a higher survival rate - in this way, for the safety Naturally, I know nothing about what is going on in the district.”

"Can you introduce it to me?"

"Of course," Xinka smiled and nodded, "You should have noticed that the air in Aincrad is no longer as heavy as it was at the beginning, right?"

"That's why I said that Aincrad has undergone many changes, Xinka. For someone like you, you must know the reasons for these changes in Aincrad."

"You should have seen or heard of a foreign beggar next to the hotel."

The black-robed man nodded.

Because although there are not many foreigners in this game, they are not completely absent. Foreigners with such a reputation are the only ones in Aincrad.

"He changed the atmosphere in Aincrad," Xinka smiled and shook his head. "He now takes his violin to the central square to perform every night, and you only have to see his performance once. , you can understand where Aincrad’s current atmosphere comes from.”

"I'm afraid I don't have that extra time," the man in black robe shook his head, "Kayaba Akihiko's monster data during the closed beta, the map data of the maze, the location of the treasure chest and the monster's skill mechanism have all been greatly adjusted. Even many tasks are completely different from those in the closed beta. Only by investigating these clearly can the strategy manual ensure a higher survival rate."

"You should try to find time to take a look," Xinka said seriously, "This is a death game, Mr. unknown fraudster, but for us now, it should not be just a death game, but It’s our… no, at least it’s our… new life now.”

"..."

"If it takes us ten or even decades to conquer this game maliciously designed by Kayaba Akihiko, how far can your current mental state support you? Mr. Fraudster."

"Can that foreigner help me solve these problems? With his superb acting ability?"

"Then you are wrong, Mr. Conqueror," Xinka said after laughing twice. "That performer's performance and playing ability are not superb, but rather very bad."

The banner hesitated for a moment, "Very bad?"

"Yes, he actually plays very poorly. He often fails to hit the high notes when singing and is out of tune from time to time. When he can't remember the lyrics, he will bumble through the music. Even the repertoire itself may not be complete - but this Doesn’t mean I don’t recommend you go see him play.”

Xinka put away his smiling face at this time.

"Because after he started playing, the number of deaths in the Black Iron Palace Tombstone has continued to decrease."

"...Are you sure it's not because of the strategies and game information we provided you?"

"Have you forgotten the first deceased who appeared on the tombstone of the Black Iron Palace? And our strategy is really for those players who are determined to save money and live in the initial town where we are now, waiting for rescue. Did it have any decisive help?"

The black-robed sealer fell silent.
