Bai Ye raised his head and looked around. The surroundings were already filled with people. It seemed that they had all been teleported here. It looked like there were thousands of people, or more accurately, nearly ten thousand people. It could be said that all the players in the game were here.
What was interesting was that there were no ugly men or women here. It seemed that most of them had undergone facial adjustments. Moreover, there were already many men and women standing together. Bai Ye immediately laughed. If he recovered his original appearance later, would he be much taller than a gay and a lily?
In a few seconds, the crowd fell silent because they did not understand the situation. Then, they began to look around in panic.
Not long after, noisy sounds began to spread from various places, and the volume gradually increased.
He kept hearing something like-
"What's going on?"
"Can I log out like this?"
"Hurry up and let me log out!"
In this case…
After a while, the noise of the crowd began to take on a restless air, and the sounds of "Stop joking!”
"GM, come out!" Such an angry roar.
Suddenly…
Someone's voice drowned out the noise.
"Ah…look up!"
White Night raised his head when he heard this. He saw a layer of bright red checkerboard patterns at the bottom of the second layer. Upon closer inspection, one could see that the pattern was formed by two English words. As for the two words written in bright red font, they were "Warning" and "System Announcement".
At this moment, the noise in the square also subsided. It felt as if everyone was pricking up their ears to listen to the contents of the announcement. While White Night was waiting for a good show, the following phenomenon ruthlessly betrayed everyone's expectations.
The red pattern covered the entire sky. Its central part was like a thick drop of blood that slowly dripped down. However, the blood did not drip onto the ground. Instead, it suddenly changed shape in midair.
The one who appeared was a giant that was nearly 20 meters tall and wore a dark red cloak. No, that was not quite right. Since everyone was looking up from below, they should be able to see the face inside the hat that was pulled very low. However, there was no face in that part. It was completely empty. They could even clearly see the inside of the hat and the stitches on the edge. There was also only a faint darkness under the long hem of the dress.
Those who had participated in the closed beta should be familiar with this costume. It was the costume that the GM, who was a member of ARGUS, would wear.
At this moment, the right sleeve of the cloak suddenly moved. From the expanded sleeves, one could see pure white gloves. However, the sleeves and gloves were clearly separated from each other. There was no physical part at all.
Then, he slowly raised his left sleeve. On the heads of the 10,000 players, the empty white gloves were opened to the left and right. It felt like a faceless man was opening his mouth. Then, a man's deep and clear voice came from afar.
"Players, welcome to my world.”Then, the red cloak slowly lowered its hands, and its words continued to reach everyone's ears. "My name is Hayaba Akihiko. He was the only one who could control this world.”
"I think all of you have noticed that the logout button has disappeared from the main menu. But this wasn't a problem with the game. I repeat. This was not a problem with the game, but the original version of SwordArtOnline.”
"From now on, before you reach the top of this castle, you will not be able to log out of this game.”
"…Besides, there's no way to stop or disable the operation of NERvGear by relying on outsiders. If anyone tries to do that-"
There was a brief silence. The following words were slowly spoken in the heavy silence of ten thousand people holding their breaths.
"The microwave emitted by the signal component of the NERvGear will destroy your brain and stop your life activities.”The moment Hayata Kazuhiko's voice fell, the entire place was in an uproar.
"The strong microwave emitted by the signal terminal is like a microwave oven. It's not difficult to cook a person's brain.”White Night analyzed the sensational reality in a calm tone. "Also, NerveGear has a built-in battery. Even if the power is turned off, it's useless. I have to say, this is a genius idea!”However, the people beside him who heard his words were instantly frightened.
The thatched cottage seemed to have heard Bai Ye's words as his voice continued to echo from above."" To be more specific, if the external power supply is cut off for more than ten minutes, the network is disconnected for more than two hours, and the attempt is made to destroy the NERvGear's main body or remove the fixed lock. Only under these conditions will the brain destruction program be executed. These conditions had already been announced to the outside world through the company and the media. "By the way, at this point in time, there are already many players 'family and friends who ignored our warning and tried to forcefully disable NERvGear. The result is…"
When the loud metallic voice reached this point, it took a deep breath.
"Unfortunately, there are currently 212 players who have left the real world and Ain Grand Tree forever.”
The only mournful cry came from somewhere. Other than that, most of the players in the surroundings either could not believe it or were unwilling to believe it. They only smiled or were in a daze. However, White Night realized that he had saved someone after entering. It seemed that 213 people should have died in the original novel.
"There's no need to worry about your bodies in the real world. Now, all the television, radio, and online media were repeatedly reporting this situation, as well as the appearance of many victims. Therefore, the risk of the NERvGear being forcibly removed from your heads can be said to have been reduced to a relatively low level. From now on, your bodies in the real world should be transported to the hospital or other facilities during the two-hour buffer time when you wear the NERvGear, and then carefully taken care of. I hope that everyone can rest assured…and focus on the game guide.”Hayaba continued.
"What are you talking about? You want us to focus on the game? How could he play the game without being able to log out? This was no longer a game!!”Someone shouted.
Kazuhiko Hayaba obviously heard this as well. He continued to announce in a calm voice,""However, I hope that everyone will pay special attention. To everyone here, SwordArtOnline is no longer just a game, but another real world. From now on, all resurrection functions will be canceled in the game. Therefore, the moment your HP drops to zero, your characters will be destroyed forever. At the same time…"
Everyone could predict what he was going to say next.
"Your brains will be destroyed by NERvGear.”
"There is only one condition that can free you from this game. I just mentioned that we should reach the highest level of Ain Grand, which is the 100th level, and then defeat the final demon king waiting there. I guarantee that at that moment, all the surviving players will be able to log out of the game safely.”
The ten thousand players all fell silent. Now they finally understood what Mao Chuang meant when he said " reach the top of this castle ".
This castle referred to the giant floating castle that swallowed the Players at the lowest level and had ninety-nine levels above it, Ain Grand.
"Finally, let everyone see that this world is the only evidence of reality for you. I have prepared a gift for you in your equipment bar. Please take a look."
Upon hearing this, White Night's two fingers on his right hand swiped downward almost automatically. The players around him did the same thing, and a series of electronic ringtones sounded in the square.
He tapped on the label of the item bar from the main menu that appeared. At the top of the item list, there was a gift mentioned by Mao Chuang. The item name was " Hand-held Mirror."
After seeing this item, White Night knew that a good show was about to begin. Sure enough, the surrounding players were suddenly enveloped by a white light. At the same time, White Night himself was also surrounded by white light, and all he could see was paleness. In just two to three seconds, the light disappeared, and the original scenery appeared in front of him again.
White Night was filled with joy as he looked at the dazzling cross-dressing perverts and some of the originally handsome but now extremely ugly guys. He saw a familiar face in the crowd. It didn't take long for everyone to know that it was Kirito, our main character.
Ever since the Apocalypse world, Shiroya had learned not to recognize people from their faces in anime. Now that he looked at them, there was indeed a huge difference. At least in the anime, he could still see that Kirito was a cute boy. Now, he was purely Hideyoshi. Shiroya believed that if he was given a dress, a wig, and some powder, he would be able to develop in Thailand.
In front of the Kirito Angel, Klein and Kirito Eye, who had reverted to their perverted uncle appearance, stared at each other for a long time. After looking around blankly for a while, the two of them finally realized that they had reverted to their original appearance in reality.
"Hey, kid, you're here as expected!”Since he had discovered Kirito, he needed to go over and greet him.
"Uh, who? " Brother…" Kirito was startled by Dream's pat. When she turned around, she realized that it was actually White Night.
"You two know each other?" Klein looked at the two of them.
" He's my cousin, White Night!" The Doujin's mouth twitched when he saw the name above Bai Ye's head, which was obviously written in Chinese Pinyin. However, he still introduced it to Klein." Brother, this is a friend I just met, Klein!”
"Hello!" White Night stretched out his hand.
"Hello!" Klein also extended his hand and shook it.
"Speaking of which, why did things turn out like this?”Klein scratched his head in pain.
Kirito extended a finger and pointed at the figure of the BOSS in the sky.""Just wait and see. He will definitely tell us the reason for doing such a thing.”
"You must be wondering why now, right? Why would the designer of SwordAetOnline and NerveGear do such a thing?”Kazuhiko Hayaba immediately explained," My goal has been achieved, which is to create this world and admire it! I created SwordAetOnline for that, and now it's all done! That was the end of SwordAetOnline's official service description. I wish all players a prosperous martial arts career!”
Hayaba Kyokihiko disappeared. The sky had also returned to its normal color, but the impact he brought was far from over. Online games were originally the highest crystallization of human entertainment spirit, but when it synchronized with human real life, these four words seemed so terrifying.
It was a universal law that one would die if they played games. Unless one could reach the level of a god-level gamer like Nagato Yuuki, no one could guarantee that they could clear the game without dying. However, at this time, Hayaba Akihiko had added this shackle to everyone: You must never die in the game, because the price of death is not experience or money, but your own life.
A scream came from someone unknown. With this scream as the start, the crowd quickly fell into a riot. People shouted all kinds of words, the content was nothing more than "let me out". They desperately charged at the barrier around the square as if they had gone crazy.
Until now, people still didn't believe the authenticity of Hayaba Yasuhiko's declaration. More accurately, they didn't want to believe that the game world was far more dangerous than the real world. Not only did they have to face terrifying system monsters, but they also had to be on guard against the cold blades of those who had lost their morals. Under such circumstances, no one could guarantee that they wouldn't die.
White Night sneered after seeing all of this.""Did you see that? This was the bad habit of humans. When faced with a threat to their lives, most people would only cry and wait for help. Were there always only a few who actively saved themselves? What a sad and talkable race.”
"Brother, don't sigh here. Since it's really like this, then you have to adapt to life here. What we need now is to quickly seize resources and level up as soon as possible!”Kirito then pulled Shiroya and Klein and ran.
Klein rejected Kirito's offer because he still had other friends here. He could not give up on them, so the three of them simply added each other as friends and parted ways. Klein went to look for his friends while Shiroya and Kirito rushed to the next village to occupy the resources as soon as possible.
