Thank you for the flowers and recommendation votes from the Dark Conference! Your support is my greatest motivation!!! Roll! The second watch was delivered!
In front of him, the girl who shouldn't have appeared here had a head of chestnut-colored beautiful long hair. The hair behind her ears was braided into two braids that wrapped around the back of her head. Her long bangs were naturally slanted, and two long strands of hair hung down naturally, covering her waist. Her pupils, which were the same color as her hair, were as cold as a mirror. At the same time, they were cold and filled with heroic spirit.
She was wearing a white dress with red edges, her jade-like shoulders were exposed to the air. The two sides of the dress extended like a trench coat, and her lower body was a red short skirt. White stockings wrapped around her snow-white slender legs, forming an absolute domain with the red short skirt. A western sword-like weapon hung at her waist.
There was no doubt that the girl in front of him was one of the top five most beautiful players in the SAO system. She was the vice leader of the Blood Alliance Knights, the strongest guild in the game. She was also known as Asuna the Flash.
To be honest, this introduction was extremely chuunibyou. I didn't know why I wrote such a chuunibyou introduction, but since I've already written it, so be it.
"Long time no see, foreign swordsman.”The girl greeted Wang Hen calmly.
"Well, speaking of which, can you not call me that…By the way, who are you?”To be honest, other than the first time he heard it, he was a little happy. After that, every time Wang Hen heard this title, the shame in his heart kept accumulating. Where did this shame come from?
The young girl's expression froze. Although she had no expression to begin with, from the sharp look in her eyes, she should be angry.
"It seems that foreign swordsmen are really forgetful. It's only been half a year and they don't even remember their former companions.”Asuna's voice, which was filled with suppressed anger, resounded throughout the entire hall. Kita and the others could not help but shrink their necks in shock from the coldness in her words. At the same time, their expressions became strange.
Did Wang Hen really not know Asuna? How was that possible? As the female lead in SAO, her characteristics were too obvious. However, after being informed of the mission by the Lord God as soon as he entered, Wang Hen, who had his peaceful life broken, was a little unhappy. Coincidentally, he saw Asuna appear in front of him with a goddess 'face, and he could not help but want to tease her.
" Oh, it's you. I remember now." Wang Hen had a look of realization on his face, but the words he said almost made Asuna go berserk." That greedy cloak, right?"”
"You're the cloak! My name is Asuna, and we even added each other as friends.”When Asuna heard this, she immediately stood up. Veins were even popping out on her tightly clenched fists. However, when she remembered that she had come under orders today, Asuna finally suppressed the anger in her heart.
When she had finished clearing the first floor, she had once requested to continue forming a team with Wang Hen, but he had rejected her. At that time, she had been so agitated that she had mistakenly thought that Wang Hen found her a burden, and the good impression she had just built up had immediately disappeared.
However, Asuna was not a vase with long hair but short knowledge. After she calmed down and thought about it, she immediately realized that Wang Hen had obviously been in a hurry. At that time, his answer was probably just a casual one.
Asuna, who realized that her behavior at that time could be described as unreasonable, let's not talk about what happened in her heart for the time being. In short, she continued to follow the original plot development and wholeheartedly wanted to return to reality. Any action that had nothing to do with the strategy was considered a waste of time, and she forced others to complete the strategy at full speed.
Kita and the others were also very surprised to see Asuna in their house. Ever since the Moonlit Night Black Cat Guild had gradually grown stronger due to the addition of Wang Hen, they had gradually begun to join forces with the Blood Alliance Knights and other top guilds in the game to attack the maze BOSS. Currently, these guilds were not able to attack the BOSS alone like in the later stages, so the cooperation between the guilds was quite close.
Asuna was the person in charge of every contact, so Kita was quite familiar with Asuna. Whenever he contacted Asuna about the strategy, Asuna would inform Kita of the exact time of the discussion in advance. When the time came, he would come with his guild companions.
But this time, not only was there no prior notice, but he had also come alone. Kita, who was considered the Guild Leader of a large Guild, immediately knew that something had happened.
He quickly walked between the two of them and used his body to block their gazes. He asked Asuna,"I wonder if there's something important for Vice Commander to visit so late at night?”Although Wang Hen, Qitai, and the others had returned from the hunting zone before nightfall, it was already quite late when they returned to the town.
"That's right, there's indeed an extremely important matter that needs to be notified to Guild Leader Keita.”When it came to serious matters, the anger on Asuna's face disappeared without a trace as if it had never appeared. She no longer looked at Wang Hen and turned to talk to Kita with a serious tone.
"Oh? From the deputy leader's expression, it seemed like it wasn't a small matter. Let's sit down in the meeting hall and talk about it.”Kita saw Asuna's serious expression. After interacting with Asuna for so long, he immediately understood from Asuna's expression that what she was about to say was probably not a small matter.
After giving a few instructions to Warhead Iron and the others, he brought Asuna to the meeting hall. Seeing this, Wang Hen's heart skipped a beat. Judging from how Asuna had issued a mission as soon as she saw the main god, Asuna's matter this time probably had something to do with transmigrators. Should he join in?
"Anyway, there's no other news about that mission at the moment.”Wang Hen thought about it and decided to follow. Who knew if there would be any news? What happened after that also proved Wang Hen's guess.
As soon as they entered the meeting hall, Asuna said to Kita before Wang Hen and the other two could sit down,""I wonder if Guild Master Keita has heard about the sewer incident in the town recently?”
"Hmm? Are you talking about the recent news about a hidden BOSS in the sewers?”When Kai Tai heard this, he was stunned. Suddenly, he thought of something and turned to Wang Hen."Wang Hen, do you still remember the time when you asked me to investigate if anything unusual had happened?”
"Hmm? Of course, he remembered. Why? Did it have something to do with this?”How could Wang Hen forget such an important matter? It was closely related to the mission that the Lord God had given him. However, why did Qitai suddenly mention this?
"What's wrong? Does this have anything to do with him?" Asuna frowned when she heard that.
"Oh, it's like this. Wang Hen previously asked me to ask my companions in the guild to keep an eye out for any strange things. Initially, we didn't find anything, but in the past week, they made a new discovery.”Kita explained to Asuna, but Wang Hen couldn't care less. He asked directly,"So, this is the strange thing you wanted to tell me?”
"Uh, that's right. I was going to tell you later during dinner.”Kita looked at Wang Hen's anxious expression and nodded apologetically at Asuna. Then, he turned around and told Wang Hen the details of the situation.
"About two weeks ago, the players on the 40th floor suddenly started to spread the news that there was a hidden BOSS in the sewers of a certain town on the 40th floor. It would take the initiative to attack the players in the city.”At this point, Kita turned to Asuna." Is there any new development in this matter?"”
"That's right." Asuna nodded and said seriously,""Originally, this matter was just like the urban legends in the real world, not many people believed it. However, in the past week, a few players were curious and formed a team to go to the sewers of the towns on the 40th floor to search for it.”
" However, because this matter has spread far and wide, the party that took the initiative to search the sewers has also received the attention of many other players. After searching 40 floors in a row and finding nothing in most of the town's sewers, the party's patience gradually ran out, so they decided to give up on the last town.”
"Oh, let me guess. The accident happened next, right?”When Wang Hen heard this, he could not help but interrupt Asuna. This kind of plot development was too common. Wang Hen did not need to listen to the rest to know that something unexpected would happen next.
"That's right. From then on, there was no news about the raid team. Soon, the players discovered that all their names appeared on the death list of the starting town.”Asuna was a little unhappy that Wang Hen had interrupted her, but she did not say anything out of consideration for the situation.
"If that's all, there's no need to be so nervous.”After hearing Asuna's words, King Scar felt that it was a little strange. This matter was just a player team discovering a hidden BOSS, and then failing to clear it and being wiped out. Although this matter was very serious, it was not enough to make Asuna make such a big fuss.
" Hmph, of course it's not just that. But after that party was discovered, more than 30 players went missing from the town they last appeared in. They were all found on the death list the next day. You should understand the consequences of such a thing happening in a safe zone like a town.”Asuna frowned. She was a little dissatisfied with Wang Hen's simple thinking. If things were that simple, would she have to do this?
"Did these players disappear when they were alone?”Keita asked.
" In the beginning, a portion of them did go missing because they were alone. When they were discovered to be on the death list, the players in the town began to move in groups. When they went out, there were at least three people, and there were even five or eight people moving in groups. But in the end…the number of deaths continued to increase. Considering the possible consequences of this matter, the guild leaders there chose to block the news and informed us.”The weight of Asuna's words filled the entire room, and Kita's expression began to turn ugly.
King Scar understood what Asuna meant. If word of this spread, it would undoubtedly be very scary for those players who did not have the courage to take the initiative to attack.
There were players committing suicide every day in SAO. If news of this spread, it would no longer be safe to stay in the safe zone. The number of suitors would probably increase, and some players who had participated in the raid might even commit suicide. After all, they had already risked their lives during the raid, and there was no safe place to rest after the raid ended. If this continued, the players 'mental state would collapse sooner or later.
But that shouldn't be the case. Shouba Jingyan's original intention in designing this game was not to turn it into a game of death. Why didn't he react at all when such a situation occurred?
"By the way, does Heathcliffe know about this?”Wang Hen suddenly asked Asuna.
