Planting the World Tree From Pirates

The town of the beginning.

The square with tens of thousands of people became audible, and everyone was doing their best to digest what Kayaba Akihiko said.

Everyone's complexion began to change wildly, even Kirito was no exception.

The only one who can keep calm is probably Muye alone.

Kayaba Akihiko's cold voice came again, "You can't log out actively, and outsiders can't stop or cancel NERvGear. If you try, the high-power microwaves emitted by the NERvGear's signal unit will destroy your brains and stop your life activities. ."

Destroy the brain, stop the activity of life, is this...death?

The players were stunned for a while, feeling that Kayaba Akihiko told a super unfunny joke.

But no matter what, Kayaba Akihiko's cold joke was too heavy, and it still detonated the entire square.

However, there is still luck in the hearts of everyone.

Because reason tells them that a rational game designer would not dare to joke about the lives of tens of thousands of players.

Although Japan has abolished the death penalty, such a serious crime should also be thoroughly sat in prison.

There was an uproar in the square, and everyone was talking about it.

"what happened?"

"You're acting to heat up the atmosphere!"

"Hurry up and end it!"

"Let's go!"

A boy in cloth armor pulled a girl in a cute pink dress, and without looking back, he planned to leave.

But the two did hit the invisible wall head-on!

If you don't see the Yellow River, you will not give up, and everyone still regards Kayaba Akihiko's intimidation as a joke.

Or, everyone hoped it was a joke.

but.

The more you are afraid that something will happen, the more likely it will happen.

At this moment, not everyone is still deceiving themselves.

The first is Kirito, he has begun to believe.

As Kayaba Akihiko's little brother, Kirito knows that Kayaba Akihiko is not a joker.

In addition, from a technical point of view, the killing method that Kayaba Akihiko said is not impossible.

The microwave of the signal unit is the same as that of the microwave oven. As long as the limiter is lifted, it can destroy the human brain.

And NERvGear also has a built-in battery, even if the power is unplugged, it can still complete the killing.

What are you kidding?

Because it directly led to a revolutionary breakthrough in neural connection technology, and designed a cross-generational game giant system like SAO, Kayaba Akihiko has long been successful in the real world.

Money, status, and power have long surpassed everyone's imagination.

It is no exaggeration to use the word world-renowned.

Kayaba Akihiko is crazy, doing all kinds of things that imprison tens of thousands of players?

But is Kayaba Akihiko a joker?

The more talented you are, the more paranoid you tend to be.

moment.

With Kirito's psychological quality, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

Kirito couldn't help looking in all directions, when he saw that Makino remained calm.

Kirito couldn't help but smile bitterly while being amazed at Makino's psychological quality.

Makino, who still remained calm, either was really mentally good beyond imagination, or he didn't realize the seriousness of the matter.

At this moment, Kayaba Akihiko's devilish voice sounded again.

"Unfortunately, so far, there have been many cases of players' relatives and friends ignoring the warnings and trying to forcibly cancel NERvGear."

"As a result, 213 players have been withdrawn from Aincrad and the real world forever!"

"As you can see, this situation is being reported repeatedly by various media."

In order to increase persuasion, Kayaba Akihiko even called out news reports about players being trapped in the game and unable to log out, and a large number of players died.

In fact, in Kayaba Akihiko's step-by-step explanation, everyone has begun to believe the fact that they are trapped in the game world.

However, the news report that Kayaba Akihiko called out broke the last shred of fantasy in everyone's heart.

Because people in the real world can't give them any help.

They are the real... prisoners of Kayaba Akihiko!

Kayaba Akihiko: "Therefore, it can be said that the danger of NERvGear being forcibly released has been reduced. I hope everyone can play the game with peace of mind."

Everyone raised their heads and looked at Kayaba Akihiko, who had no face and the image of a hacker.

Everyone's heart is undoubtedly colder!

They couldn't understand why Kayaba Akihiko could be so calm and say such cruel and cold-blooded words.

What did he take their lives for?

However, their questions were destined to not be answered by Kayaba Akihiko.

Kayaba Akihiko: "However, I hope you can pay attention, in the future, all the resurrection methods in the game will be invalid. The moment your HP becomes zero, your characters will disappear forever. At the same time... your brains will be NERvGeared by NERvGear. destroy!"

In an instant.

The whole square was dead silent.

If it is said that being a prisoner of SAO is only to make them lose their freedom.

Then Kayaba Akihiko's words just now further pushed everyone into a deeper, darker and more tragic abyss.

die!

The game of SAO has changed from a game that imprisoned them to a game that faces death at any time.

Obviously just playing a game, why can't log out first, and then become a death game that may even lose your life?

Games are something that can make people feel relaxed and happy to pass the time, and it can't be something that will lose one's life!

Isn't this like spraying a few words on the Internet, and then being crawled over the Internet cable and killing him?

absurd!

ridiculous!

but.

At this moment, everyone didn't even have the guts to scold Kayaba Akihiko.

If all this is true, Kayaba Akihiko may have the ability to obliterate them at any time.

"There is only one condition for you to be freed from this game——【Arrived at the 100th floor of Aincrad and defeat the final boss there】."

"At that time, you will be able to completely conquer this death game, and all the surviving players will log out safely."

"These are the rules of this world, I hope you can remember them well."

The emotions of the crowd exploded.

Clearance?

Defeat the final boss?

What are you kidding? !

During the beta test, how many levels did those players pass?

SAO has just launched, and as the first players to enter, most of them are game lovers.

I know how difficult it is for a large game to be completely cleared.

You know, the game in general requires trial and error.

No intelligence, no powerful props, no security level, what to use to clear the game?

Not to mention, there are no resurrection props yet. If you die in the game, you are really dead!

Let them pass the customs with their lives?

Use your own life to gather intelligence, trial and error?

What are you kidding?

Everyone felt like they were going crazy!

Kirito couldn't help but recall his experience during the beta test period, knowing that he is a genius in computer science.

He has been a senior gamer since he was a child, but even so, he even lost his life in the hands of the Level 1 [Manic Boar] during the beta test.

Now, Kayaba Akihiko asked him to clear the level and defeat the level 100 boss...

So how long will he be trapped in the game?

Is he still alive to get through the 100th floor?

Kirito couldn't help clenching his fists, his fingernails even pierced into the flesh, oozing red blood.

Now, here's not a game, but... reality!

He will survive no matter what!

Muye looked at the players who were about to collapse, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Feeling it in person and watching it through a screen are completely different.

Playing a game is essentially just to relax and pass the time by the way.

It suddenly turned into a life-threatening situation, which is not something that can be easily accepted.

It's like on the Internet, every time something happens, they all clamor for war and give XX a **** lesson.

but.

If you really need to go to the battlefield yourself, you can't guarantee that you will surrender as soon as possible!

It's no wonder that in the first month of the death game, nearly 2,000 people died without even seeing the boss on the first floor.

Of course.

This is not the most terrifying, these players will soon find out-the human heart is sometimes more terrifying than bosses and floor traps!

Makino couldn't help thinking of the murder guild's "Smile Coffin", and the tragedy of directly killing the "new wife" for a prop.

For Makino, all of this is actually not much of a threat.

What really made Muye think about it was that the Sword Art Online World was his normalization assessment, how exactly should he complete this assessment.

For a loner like Kirito, that would definitely not work.

Perhaps saving these rookie players is also part of the strategy.

Seeing the panicked expressions around him, Makino's eyes couldn't help but flicker.

The two thousand people who should have died for the first time may be one of the keys to his score.

At this moment, Kayaba Akihiko's voice sounded again.

"Then finally, in your storage column, there is a gift from me, please confirm."

Gift?

Everyone became curious, reached out and swiped down, and opened the tool bar.

Then, everyone saw the gift Kayaba Akihiko said—hand mirror.

Seeing the hand mirror in the tool bar, Makino was instantly happy.

This is one of the famous scenes in Sword Art Online. There are many names for this famous scene:

"Large-scale makeup removal scene", "Large-scale rush to the scene", "Mirror mirror", "The worst face in history"...

After Makino materialized the prop [hand mirror], a small mirror appeared in Makino's hand.

brush brush brush brush

Along with the rays of light, soon, all the players in the scene were covered in white light.

The white light that suddenly surged from the hand mirror caught everyone off guard.

The white light dissipated, and everyone was inevitably panicked, wondering what conspiracy and tricks Kayaba Akihiko played.

Patting all over the body, Kirito was surprised to find that there was nothing unusual on his body.

But Kayaba Akihiko will definitely not aimlessly...

Kirito couldn't help but ask, "Are you all right? Makino!"

Since Kirito asked, Makino immediately cooperated.

Muye looked surprised, "Are you... Kirito?"

Kirito was a little puzzled, but he understood in an instant.

After looking in the mirror with my hand, I was suddenly very surprised.

Because what was reflected in the mirror was his immature and familiar face.

And this is the face in reality.

At this point, Kirito still doesn't understand, what is the effect of the [Hand Mirror] prop?

At the same time, Kirito couldn't help but look at Muye's appearance.

In an instant.

Kirito went out in surprise!

Because Muye's face hasn't changed much, it's still the same handsome and handsome face, it doesn't look flawed at all, and it's even so handsome that it's a little unreal.

Is Makino so handsome in reality?

What are you kidding?

In reality, Kirito can definitely be regarded as a handsome pot.

However, compared with Makino, the gap is too far.

Could it be that Makino doesn't pinch his face when he enters the game?

Kirito feels extra absurd!

After looking at him one after another, Kirito couldn't help but scolded an evildoer.

No wonder I often hear people say that true beauty is gender-neutral, and the ultimate beauty is to make men and women fall for it.

Before, he was skeptical of such words, but after seeing Muye, he believed it.

etc!

Kirito suddenly felt a sense of extreme absurdity. It was obviously a matter of life and death. How could he think about these messed up things?

And at this moment, everyone came back to their senses.

The result of forced makeup removal is a tragic face-based accident.

Looking at the man in the familiar, cute pink dress beside him, a slightly fat man was distraught.

"Are you male?"

Although the sound was not loud, the miserable howl similar to Qiao Biluo's live broadcast room number one instantly lingered in everyone's heart.

Presumably this young man will shiver when he sees a "girl" in a pink short skirt in the future.

And this is like an avalanche.

"This... what's going on here!?"

"is that a lie!?"

"You... who are you!?"

"Who are you!"

The players screamed one after another, and in a flash, the entire square was screaming.

I saw that all the players who looked like handsome men and women who appeared in fantasy adventure games not long ago disappeared.

Instead, there are extremely ordinary faces, and even the average height has dropped a lot from before, and the average figure has also dropped suddenly.

The appearance level of the entire game has dropped directly from "king" to "bronze".

Compared with the extreme face-pinching shape, the reality is really the appearance, it is really "no one can fight".

The atmosphere of the game has disappeared, leaving only the cold reality.

It is no exaggeration to say that Kayaba Akihiko's "gift" has ruthlessly eliminated the last bit of "game feeling" in the game SAO.

Undoubtedly, he gave everyone a cold and bone-piercing knife!

No matter how numb they are and how they deceive themselves, they know that this is no longer a game, but a battlefield where they may die at any time.

Kayaba Akihiko: "Everyone are wondering why? Why would SwordArtOnline developer Akihiko Kayaba do such a thing?"

"My purpose has been achieved, I just made SwordArtOnline to create this world and watch it."

"And now, it's all done!"

"Now, the official operation tutorial of SwordArtOnline is over. I wish all players good luck."

Is this what people say?

How ruthless and cold-blooded is Akihiko Kayaba, who deliberately created the SwordArtOnline world, and trapped tens of thousands of living humans in the game, leaving them to struggle on the edge of death?

but.

Kayaba Akihiko just left on his own, as if he had trapped a group of players in the game on his own.

The so-called "tutorial" is just to tell everyone - from now on, all of you players ~www.NovelMTL.com~ are "watchers" for me to watch.

I said, just listen to it, and I didn't mean to ask your "watchers" for their opinions.

But it was this kind of almost emotionless words that completely shattered the last shreds of fantasies in the players' hearts.

From today onwards, they are not only prisoners, but at any moment they will face...death!

After Kayaba Akihiko left, everyone in the entire square fell into a sluggishness.

"no, do not want!"

When the first person spoke, everyone in the square completely collapsed and began to roar.

"What are you kidding? Let me out! Let me out!"

"Get me out of here!"

"I'm very troubled! I have an appointment next!"

"Want me to die?"

"I don't believe...I don't believe there is such a ridiculous thing...!"

"It's just a game!"

"It's just a game!"

"Let us out!"

"do not want!"

The tsunami-like noise shook the air in the entire square.

At this moment, all the players fell into an unprecedented panic, so that the sounds of screaming, roaring, screaming, scolding, roaring, pleading, and crying were mixed together, and the silence could never be restored.

Muye and Kirito, on the other hand, ran out of the town of the beginning immediately, and the two ran very resolutely.

The running Kirito was a little hesitant after seeing Muye, but after some thought, he immediately sent a team invitation to Muye.

to this.

Makino has no reason to refuse!

As soon as he entered the game, he started chatting with Kirito. Isn't that the purpose?
