What the hell is this movie theater?

When the Sword Art Online logo also stayed in front of her for a moment, as the song played, the list of human production teams and the flashback animation screen appeared in front of her eyes, and an unconscious smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"This is human beings...is this the creativity that humans have..."

In less than 24 hours, Commander White felt many emotions that were difficult for an android to feel, and this story and even the human culture revealed made him, the commander of the Yorha Force, She was fascinated by it, and it also made her see the "possibilities" revealed by this story.

"This work can be uploaded after I connect to the Yurha network, so that all artificial people can enjoy the emotional changes brought about by this work - as long as this data is declared as [human beings want to thank artificial people] Everything that people have done so far is specially created for artificial humans], so there is no need to worry about 9S discovering clues that humans are extinct again and having to let 2B kill him again."

Even though she had decided to do this, she still did not connect to the Yurha network and compile her knowledge into information for all androids to check. Instead, she clicked on the first episode of the second movie in the movie viewing list. Check.

then--

It took her a full month to barely understand most of the story content revealed in the second part, which was the same length as the first part, and the human culture hidden behind it.

84. Damn you!Why!

Commander White knew the story of the second part, but she did not fully understand the story of the second part, and no matter how much she tried to understand the story of the second part more deeply, she was still unable to do so.

There are many reasons for this -

But the first thing that bears the brunt is the almost crazy annotations and explanations.

This made her already poor understanding even worse.

The protagonist of the second part, 'Su Hong', always says something that seems inexplicable to others, and these inexplicable words he says are explained by [notes] - and even extend to other works because of one sentence. .

For example, "Man of Steel", "Superman vs. Batman: Dawn of Justice Director's Cut", "Saint Seiya", "Dragon Ball Z", "The Adventures of Lolo", "SpongeBob SquarePants", "Gundam Fighter", "Heaven and Dragon Sword", etc. Countless works.

——She can even look at other human works in the annotations provided in these episodes!

She was quite excited when she first discovered this, but as the plot progressed, the almost crazy annotations, explanations and other work indexes flashing next to the viewing window were refreshed almost every few seconds, allowing her to The difficulty of understanding rises almost vertically.

If that's all it is, with the learning ability of artificial humans - it can be understood faster.

The problem is that the human culture displayed by 'Su Hong' in his lines goes beyond this.

Musical works created by humans, short videos created by humans with seemingly meaningless repetitive images, short videos of humans performing strange actions that confused her, terminology and game entities that appear in game works created by humans, games created by humans apparel--

Many symbolic representatives of human culture came out of Su Hong's mouth with ease.

If she doesn't understand why Su Hong said such incomprehensible words, she also doesn't understand the human being 'Su Hong' and the human culture revealed from him——

Therefore, the road to viewing the second film was difficult from the beginning.

If only that was the case!With her learning ability as an android!It only takes some time to understand!Just understand all the human cultural knowledge involved in the second part first!My ability to understand the content of the second part of the story will be greatly improved!There is no need to be so difficult!

Commander White gave full play to his functions as an artificial human, and spent nearly two weeks to understand all the human cultures indexed by the system annotations in the second part, and then opened the first part to review it in order to understand the second part. The department has made all the preparations that can be done——

This time she didn't have to pause the video and glance at the annotation column next to it to read the annotations, but the preparations she made did not help her understand the human being 'Su Hong'.

During the second viewing, she only vaguely knew that 'Su Hong' was going to cause trouble in 'Sword Art Online', and the way he made trouble was all kinds of messy things...

But that's all.

In the middle of episode No. 12 of the second series, she witnessed Su Hong and Argo parting ways because of a word, which made her instinctively clenched her fists.

——Why do you do this?How will human civilization continue if we do this?

The plot after Storeya's appearance made her already so bad that she could hardly get any worse inside even worse.

After all, if the androids did not have strong artificial intelligence, they would not be determined to lie and deceive other androids after the extinction of the human race, allowing those uninformed androids to still fight for the 'glory of mankind', and neither would the Yorha Force. He has always been responsible for protecting this secret.

Because the difference between most androids and Storeia is only in their [real-life bodies] and [specialization for the Internet] - but they also serve humans!

--Why!why is that!

Even Commander White, who told the system "Humanity is the honor I should maintain and the reason why I should exist in the world", felt the pain originating from the depths of his heart growing crazily.

Humans in this world have long been extinct, so Storeya and Yui, two AIs created to serve and serve humans, are existences that all artificial people in this world must envy.

However, as a human being, Su Hong harshly rejected Storeya's idea of ​​serving him, and almost never gave her a good look when he met Storeya. Even when Su Hong and Storeya When Leia left, Su Hong was still trying to drive Storea to [Kirito], the protagonist of the first part.

Commander White felt a deeper despair than when he learned the news that "humanity has become extinct".

Because it was true that Commander White was very desperate when she learned the news that "humanity has become extinct", so much so that she was desperate for a long time after learning the news - but what was even more desperate was that " Human beings still exist, but artificial people are no longer needed by humans].

This simulated emotion was enough to impact the underlying code, and even made her close the viewing window in front of her without knowing when, and she could only sit blankly in front of the bed that had not been used a few times at a loss.

She even came up with the idea of ​​asking Communications Officer 6O to warn her not to watch the second part, and then upload the first part to the Yurha network to destroy the memory data of this body and read the previous memory archive.

Because as an artificial human, her major systems such as thinking program and body program were almost completely defeated by the [emotion simulation system that allows artificial people to better understand and serve human beings], and all the connections in her body were destroyed. The system's programs are almost unresponsive.

At first, she only temporarily terminated the operation of the emotion simulation system and used reason to get out of the despair caused by the news that "humanity has become extinct". But now, she can't even think of terminating the operation of the emotion simulation system, and is completely overwhelmed. Emotional simulation systems occupy the vast majority of thinking threads.

She didn't know how long it had been, but her emotion simulation program that occupied most of her thinking threads finally returned to calm as the system pop-up window appeared again in front of her. Thanks to this, other systems also restarted smoothly.

[Do I need to give up my identity and qualifications as an audience?Commander White. 】

[Even though I am the 'I also want to write about movie watching, crazy and bad money' system, my duty at the beginning of my birth is to edit the host's adventure story into a film and deliver the film to qualified audiences as an editor and messenger. But as an editor and messenger, I do not force all qualified viewers to see the end of this adventure story. 】

[If you choose to give up your identity and qualifications as a viewer, in order to make up for the bad experience you had during this movie viewing, I will help you eliminate those bad experience memories in the movie viewing experience and retain your If you have a good experience and memory, you will also try to leave you with enough information to change the world. 】

【How do you choose?Commander White. 】

85. Torture severely!

Faced with the system's questions, Commander White chose to remain silent for a long time, and finally chose to continue watching the second part - after all, no matter what, he must see the final ending of the story.

As the plot progressed, even she noticed something was wrong, but she didn't know where it came from.

Until the end of the capture battle on the No. 40 floor, the screen in front of Commander White showed scenes and stories she had never imagined, and she was tortured directly in front of the screen.

【I hate more than just you!Kayaba Akihiko!You are just the specific object of my hatred!And what I really hate is everyone who sees my current crazy performance in any way! 】

Even though Commander White didn't have much experience watching movies, when this hysterical shouting rang in her ears, she still felt the instinctive tremor originating from the underlying code.

——That is the malice that humans hate without reservation.

Because what he said was to her, she was the audience itself and the person he hated.

This time, she didn't even instinctively turn off the display screen in front of her. Her mind was completely blank, to the point where even the emotion simulation function that had previously interfered with many systems could not operate normally.

——All system programs failed to respond.

Even though she could still receive information from the outside world normally, she had no ability to process it at the moment. She could only watch blankly as the stories and fighting continued on the screen. She also saw with her own eyes that Su Hong, who hated everyone, was killed. Kayaba Akihiko's sudden murderous intention pierced his abdomen and came out of his body, dissipating before her eyes.

[After all, you still haven’t been able to transcend the constraints of the system... Storeya, Mr. Su Hong. 】

Kayaba Akihiko's inner words served as the ending lines of this episode, and the scene dimmed and gradually turned black. Along with two sudden drum beats, the ending song unique to this episode sounded - from the work " "Enemy", the English theme song of "Battle of Two Cities".

When the song "Enemy" ended and it should have jumped to the next episode, Mr. Su Hong's extremely relaxed sigh sounded in the darkness.

[Ah, it's so dark... Is this the so-called 'life horse racing'?I can neither feel my body nor see anything. It is really a novel experience...]

Even though Commander White came back to her senses because of these words, her smart IQ once again took over the high ground. After she realized what she was doing, she immediately reached out and clicked on the screen to display the timeline of this episode.

This episode is actually 28 minutes long?

Su Hong's performance of letting himself go after death also reminded her of Su Hong at the beginning of the second part. He gave herself such a feeling at that time, and as he subsequently blew up his plan to "assassinate the audience", she could not help but think of Su Hong at the beginning of the second part. It subverts all opinions from the beginning of episode No. 12 to the current episode No. 20.

Before he and Storeya were separated, he had already decided to sacrifice his life to carry out the plan of "Assassination of the Audience", and he also decided to use his own death as a stepping stone for the original protagonist "Kirito" - these two plans were advanced in parallel. , and ultimately his death to achieve these two purposes are different, but the execution process is the same plan.

Su Hong even considered the fate of Yui and Storeya in this plan.

"This……"

Commander White couldn't help but click his tongue.

But she didn't stop watching because of the black screen self-destruction plot. She tried her best to think about the ins and outs of it all, but directly started watching the next episode.

Because Su Hong has not solved Kayaba Akihiko, this problem of Kayaba Akihiko is still a problem that the strategy team has to face.

The second part No.20 has three episodes.

The protagonist of the first part, Kirito, was confronting Kayaba Akihiko. As the smell of gunpowder grew stronger and stronger, almost to the point where they had to fight to decide life and death, a shout suddenly came from outside the screen——

Just by hearing this shout, Commander White already knew who made the sound. As the scene shifted, the golden light that suddenly diffused in the field also gathered into Su Hong's figure.

At this time, the comment flashed across the comment window, which made her instinctively pause the screen and focus on this comment, which she had never seen before.

[Note:]

[This is the power displayed by human souls, spirits, beliefs, and will after breaking through the limits. Its power is enough to break through the control and constraints of the network system, and it has unlimited possibilities. 】

[The mind skills displayed by Su Hong at this time are even better than those of Kiritani Kazuto and Asuna who initially showed their "mind skills" against Kayaba Akihiko in the first part. 】

[In the fighting game BRAIN BURST 2039, which is also in the world view of "Sword Art Online" and is depicted in the work called "Accelerated World", there is an Incarnate System (Incarnate System) that defines and develops the Incarnate Technique system, allowing players to relax The difficulty of awakening the mind skill. 】

[The disadvantage is that the mental system is too "systematic" to develop mental skills, which will cause the performance of the mental skills themselves to be limited by the "system" itself. 】

"Enough to transcend the control and constraints of the system..."

Commander White was only slightly confused - because she didn't understand why Su Hong could show such power that could transcend the system at this moment - but she quickly put her doubts behind her.

When you don’t understand, wait until later to think about it.

As she clicked the paused picture again with her finger, Su Hong in the picture immediately showed the posture she had seen on the cover of the film. Then after two simple conversations, the normal picture suddenly flashed, and the original picture Kayaba Akihiko and Su Hong disappeared.

As the protagonist of the second series, Su Hong only appeared for 20 seconds in the third episode of No. 15 and then exited!

The players in the strategy group somehow released their restraints, and the scene became chaotic. As Kayaba Akihiko spoke, Klein became angry and launched his sword skills on him. However, he was attacked by the same sword midway towards Kayaba Akihiko. Asuna activated her sword skill and stopped her——

When Kirito rushed over to talk to Klein, the theme song "INNOCENCE" for the last twelve episodes of the first Sword Art Online series also started playing.

Asuna and Kirito reached a consensus, and Asuna also gathered the players in the strategy team to attack Kayaba Akihiko, but Kirito came to Su Hong's lost iron sword while singing.

Behind him were the players of the strategy team and the fierce battle with Kayaba Akihiko in the song, but the camera was covered with another layer of hazy images that were so shallow that they had to be carefully identified to see clearly and that flickered extremely fast.

When the hazy scene stopped, Kirito, whose pupils had turned into golden eyes at some point, raised his hand and pulled out Su Hong's lost iron sword, holding it in his hand, then turned and walked towards Kayaba Akihiko.

After Kirito communicated with Kayaba Akihiko for just a few seconds, the two began to engage in a simple but murderous hand-to-hand combat with the second half of the theme song.

The speed of the two of them in the battle increased even more with the loud singing, so that in just one minute, they went from a normal battle between ordinary players to a terrifying situation where only the shadows of the two people and the light of the sword could be seen. situation.

Finally, at the end of the song, the invisible movements and two flashes of light that hit Kayaba Akihiko were frozen in the picture.

Kayaba Akihiko raised his shield and showed a surprised smile to Kirito. He wielded two long swords emitting different lights and attacked Kirito, who was facing Kayaba Akihiko but only showed a frown——

This is the scene after freezing.

Then the screen went black, revealing the name LOGO of the second part.

When the screen lit up again, the ending song for the three episodes of No. 20 and the ending song for the first twelve episodes of the first part, "The World of Dreams (ユメセカイ)", was played.

Kirito and the strategy team cleared the game and entered the clearance screen. During the last 5 minutes of the ending song, he had a calm conversation with Kayaba Akihiko, calmly answering Kirito's doubts.

The final scene freezes for a moment as the singing ends, and finally a black screen appears, marking the end of the third episode of No. 20.

86.[The arrival of the electronic world@Su Hong]

Commander White spent a month and finally watched four episodes of the second No. 20.

The four episodes of No.20 have no opening credits, only the sound of the wind blowing through the branches of blooming cherry blossoms and the colorful sea of ​​fallen flowers hovering above it, and then moving forward with the arrival of children and parents, friends and lovers, and finally settling on the scene in front of them. What the black-haired girl in the sea of ​​flowers in the distance sees is the clear sky far above the sea of ​​flowers.

----------

"Yuna, Yuuna!"

Hearing his father's anxious call, Shigemura Yuna, who was in a trance, came back to his senses, then turned around and smiled from the bottom of his heart to his father.

"The scenery is so beautiful, father, I was fascinated by it without even realizing it."

"The cushions and placemats are ready. Even if you want to continue enjoying the scenery, sit down and rest first... You have just recovered, so you need to take a proper rest."

"Yes," Yuna Shigemura looked at his childhood sweetheart who was still standing aside, "Eiji shouldn't stand around either. Father also said that we have just recovered, so we need to rest properly."

"Uh-huh."

Gosawa Eiji lowered his head and responded to Shigemura Yuna, but did not make any move. He just let Shigemura Yuna helplessly come to the mat and sit sideways, and then patted the mat next to the two people who were still standing.

"It's not impossible to enjoy the flowers while standing, but it's easier to sit down, right?"

"That's right," Tetsuo Shigemura nodded and glanced at Eiji Gozawa, who was still lowering his head, with his peripheral vision. He sighed helplessly in his heart and patted his shoulder, "Sit down. "

After a moment of hesitation, Gozawa Eiji was willing to sit down.

"Father, here you go," Yuna Shigemura picked up the daifuku cake placed in the center of the mat and handed it to Tetsuo Shigemura. He also handed the daifuku to Gozawa Eiji's hand in the same manner, "Eiji, try it too. .”

"Uh-huh."

Shigemura Yuna just looked at his restrained look and smiled, then picked up the new Daifuku and took a sip before looking into the distance of the sea of ​​flowers again, "Speaking of which, I have achieved another goal in my life."
