"I think there's been a misunderstanding between us, Mr. Lin Yan. I sincerely invite you to be a guest of the Mitsui Group. Believe me, there's nothing in this world that the Mitsui Group can't obtain. I only hope that the Mitsui Group can gain your friendship, Mr. Lin Yan."
This was the first time Lin Yan had ever seen such a shameless person. One minute they were discussing how to deal with him, and the next second they were fawning over him.
Seeing that Lin Yan didn't speak, Mitsui Sho assumed that his plan had worked. He approached Lin Yan and said:
"Mr. Lin Yan, your physical condition is the best I have ever seen. However, today's society is no longer the era of warriors and generals fighting for supremacy. Having an invincible physique does not mean you can survive well in society. Fortunately, our Mitsui Group has a need for Mr. Lin Yan. As long as Mr. Lin Yan agrees, we can provide you with everything from cars and houses to women."
"Mr. Lin Yan has become a person of high status. Even if he controls hundreds of billions of assets in the future, it will not be a problem for him to decide the life or death of a large listed company with a wave of his hand."
In Mitsui Sho's eyes, Lin Yan could never refuse such a condition.
Don't young people these days dream of getting rich quick and achieving instant success? If that's the case, becoming a friend of the Mitsui Group means you can have a house, a car, money, and women all at once—more than a Kinder Surprise egg!
Once Lin Yan takes the bait, he will trick her into signing a contract of servitude, and by then it will be too late for Lin Yan to leave.
At that time, as long as we find a way to trap Lin Yan in a stronger cage, whether by using anesthetic gas or drugging his food, we won't have to worry about not being able to control him.
In that case, the plan to possess someone's body can be put back on the agenda!
Just as Mitsui Sho was about to smile, he was met with a dizzying sensation.
It looks like it's raining... No, I'm in my room, how could it be raining from the ceiling? A shower of red water droplets fell in front of him, followed by a spinning sensation. He saw his body standing in a pool of blood-red rain, falling downwards and soaking his extremely expensive handmade suit.
The source of the rain was actually between his bare shoulders!
"Ah, ah..."
Seeing Lin Yan kill Mitsui Sho with a wave of his hand, Tong Yuexiao screamed in terror.
When she first saw the corpses of the latitude and longitude researchers, she remained calm and showed no reaction whatsoever. Simply because, in her mind, these lower-class people and her noble upper-class counterparts were not even the same species.
The lives of the lower classes are nothing to care about; they are merely tools and ants. This arrogant mindset even prevents her from feeling fear when facing the death of her fellow human beings.
However, when Kiritsuki Shino witnessed Mitsui Sho, who was of the same upper class as her and whose status was even far above hers, die in front of her, a sense of impending death suddenly overwhelmed her.
Before Lin Yan could even ask, a faint smell of urine filled the room.
"That's disgusting."
Lin Yanlian's desire to continue asking questions vanished.
Since they're all from the Mitsui Group anyway, we can just kill them all.
After dismembering Tong Yuexiao with a backhand sword strike, Lin Yan walked through the bloodstains, yet his entire body remained clean and spotless.
As time went on, he became increasingly adept at using the power he gained within his body.
Whether it's golden lightning magic, domineering swordsmanship, or even magic, he can use them all with ease.
Over the next day, Lin Yan appeared in the surveillance footage of various murder scenes, but the police who reviewed the footage ignored him in every single one of them.
Not only in Japan, but also in other countries such as the United States and England, members of the Mitsui Group have died mysteriously, with different causes of death.
Some were scared to death by the sight of the round stools with their eyes closed, some were dismembered, some were struck by lightning, and some appeared to be perfectly peaceful, but had actually been dead for some time.
No matter how hard they tried to cover it up, the horror of the incident could not be concealed. Soon, the Japanese government announced the tragic case of the Mitsui Group being inexplicably wiped out.
In an instant, even social hot topics such as Aincrad being conquered and the remaining players gradually waking up were completely suppressed and ignored.
Just because others don't care doesn't mean Lin Yan doesn't care.
Killing too many people has had a certain impact on his mentality, and Lin Yan decided to take some time to adjust his state of mind.
The best thing to do is go to the beach, sunbathe, apply sunscreen, chat with the girls, and talk about life goals.
But before that, there was something very important he needed to do.
"Asuna should be in this hospital."
Lin Yan looked up at the hospital located at 1-1711 Higashi-Tokorozawa, Tokorozawa City, Saitama Prefecture.
What an unlucky name, with numbers, Chinese characters, and Japanese characters mixed together.
However, this was nothing. After Lin Yan pushed open the door and went inside, he asked the receptionist for Asuna's floor and room number, and then went inside.
Because Lin Yan's identity has been secretly cancelled by the Mitsui Group, he is now essentially an unregistered person, so the identity of the hero who conquered Sword Art Online has always been a matter of speculation.
Some people said it was Lin Yan, but they were all silenced by Lin Yan's death certificate. Many people suspected that it was Lin Yan's ghost wandering in Aincrad, and some even suspected that Lin Yan was actually like Kayaba Akihiko, who did his best to remain in Aincrad in some way before he died, becoming a true ghost wandering in the Internet.
Upon entering, Lin Yan immediately saw Asuna lying on the bedside, wearing a SAO game helmet, looking as serene as a beautiful painting in the sunlight.
Because she was in a wealthy family, Asuna received top-notch medical care during her coma. Not only were her muscles stimulated with weak electrical signals to prevent them from weakening, but the nutrients she received were also perfectly balanced.
Kirito's earlier speculation in the game that her body would collapse is unlikely to come true. Asuna's condition is such that even if she lay in bed for twenty years, she would still wake up smoothly.
"It seems that Asuna's consciousness is indeed still imprisoned in the Fairy Kingdom's game, following the instructions." Lin Yan was somewhat annoyed. He originally thought he had changed something, but in the end, Asuna still suffered this undeserved disaster.
"The game helmets in the Sword Art Online world damage the player's brain by emitting microwaves. In theory, as long as the helmet is removed quickly enough, at most Tang Hu's scalp will be damaged. The idea of destroying his brain is simply absurd."
At this moment, Lin Yan felt that the game helmet's supposed ability to kill players was as fragile as a joke.
It's like a child pointing a paper sword at God.
Just as Lin Yan reached out, a layer of golden light shone up along Asuna's neck, protecting her entire head, the door opened.
The door opened and a young nurse was killed. When she saw Lin Yan reach out to Asuna, the nurse screamed.
"Who are you! Mr. Sugo said that no one is allowed to enter here!"
"I am Asuna's friend in the game."
Lin Yan explained:
"The helmet from Sword Art Online is no longer useful. As long as you take off the helmet, Asuna will naturally wake up."
"I don't care who you are, you are absolutely not allowed to take off your helmet. It could lead to someone's death!"
The nurse's sense of justice kicked in, and she rushed over to chase Lin Yan away.
"In the game, Asuna and I are lovers, and I care more about her safety than you do."
Lin Yan sat on the edge of the bed, refusing to budge no matter how the nurse pushed him. The nurse felt like she was trying to move a mountain, and eventually she accidentally fell to the ground.
"Get some sleep."
Lin Yan hadn't gone so far as to kill the first nurse who was relatively conscientious and responsible.
As for that Sugo Nobuyuki... Yes, when Lin Yan heard the surname Sugo mentioned by the nurse, he immediately thought of Asuna's so-called boyfriend, the perverted Elf King in the game.
"Nobuyuki Sugo, you might as well just kill him outright."
Lin Yan used the Golden Light Mantra as a layer of insurance, covering Asuna's head as a precaution.
Even though he knew he was unlikely to make a mistake.
In the next instant, a sword light flashed, and the game helmet, which thousands of Sword Art Online players regarded as the Sword of Damocles hanging over their heads, causing serious social problems and for which there was no solution, was instantly cut in half. Under Lin Yan's control, it flew out to the left and right at lightning speed, leaving Asuna's body.
Sure enough, the instant the gaming helmet was destroyed, a microwave emanated from the metal plate. But it was clearly useless now.
Meanwhile, at the top of the World Tree, Asuna, imprisoned in a cage and only able to pass the time by looking down, was still trying to find a way to escape. But suddenly, she felt her vision blur, and a panel of equipment fell off in front of her. Then she fell into darkness.
In the empty cage, the panel still floated in place, the text on it now reading "Successfully logged out".
It seems to be a bug; even though Asuna has logged out, this panel is still there.
Technicians quickly noticed the anomaly and rushed to Asuna's cage to investigate. Upon discovering that Asuna had logged out of the game, they immediately logged off to notify their superior, Nobuyuki Sugo.
In the real world, however, IELTS has yet to wake up.
His consciousness had been immersed in the game world for too long, and he needed at least ten hours of sleep to wake up.
Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief as soon as he sensed that Asuna's mental state had calmed down.
While Asuna was still immersed in the game, Lin Yan could sense through his powerful mental strength that Asuna's mental state was tense, which was probably the normal state for players in the game.
If things are already this tense under normal circumstances, then even sleeping would probably not be as good as proper sleep.
"Now that you're out, get some sleep," Lin Yan said, touching Asuna's pale, unhealthy cheeks, which had become pale from lack of exercise.
At the same time, a blue light shone from his hand, and a soul-repairing magic slowly entered Asuna's body along with the light.
Just then, Nobuyuki Sugo drove straight to the hospital.
Just now, as she was about to log into the game, she received a call from her subordinate. Asuna had logged out of the game!
This is not good news. As a test subject who was intercepted by them, Asuna's special status is why she was not turned into a bald brain shape, but was given a body that allows her to move freely.
But instead of cherishing it, she wanted to escape!
Simply unforgivable!
Even more unforgivable is that Asuna actually succeeded! Although it's unknown how she did it, Asuna's consciousness has already left the Fairy Kingdom game.
The thought that his secret might be exposed filled Nobuyuki Sugo with immense anxiety.
"Damn it, damn it!" While waiting at a traffic light, Nobuyuki Sugo slammed his fists on the steering wheel.
Upon entering the hospital, Nobuyuki Sugo ignored the greeting nurses and went straight to Asuna's floor by elevator.
After opening the door, he saw Asuna still unconscious in the hospital bed, and the game helmet that had been cut in half and was lying on the ground.
He was stunned. Could it be that someone had smashed the game helmet with a flick of the forehead, causing Asuna's death?
"Impossible, impossible!" Nobuyuki Sugo breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the electrocardiogram, adjusted his glasses, and gave a fake smile.
Although he didn't know the young man's relationship with Asuna, nor how he managed to do it, Sugo Nobuyuki knew that the hospital was his territory.
On his own turf, these two wouldn't escape his grasp. (End of Chapter)
