Sword Art Online Crossover: They're all close friends, how did I become a player?

"Hello, I've lost my phone. Could I borrow your phone to make a call?"

Before Furuya Rei and Date Wataru even stepped into the convenience store, their eyes were already involuntarily drawn to Yu Bai, who was sitting by the window.

Surely no one would fail to notice that boy. His almost inhumanly refined demeanor was somewhat overshadowed by the way he was munching on his rice ball with a fierce expression.

It was as if a high and mighty deity had inadvertently stepped into the mortal world, so when Yu Bai walked towards them, Furuya Rei and Date Wataru noticed him almost immediately.

"Of course, but where did your phone go?" Furuya Rei took his phone out of his pocket and handed it to Yu Bai.

"I came here from China to visit relatives, but as soon as I arrived, my wallet and phone were stolen. Now I don't have any identification on me, which is really a headache."

Yu Bai smiled as he explained to the two, but at the same time his eyes keenly caught sight of two masked figures carrying guns and baseball bats about to enter the convenience store.

He pressed the emergency call button decisively, and didn't say anything after the call was connected; in fact, there was no need for him to say anything.

because……

"boom!"

A gunshot rang out suddenly inside the convenience store, and the man at the door, wearing a green knitted hat and red sunglasses, revealed a sinister smile: "You all better behave yourselves!"

The gunshot instantly drew everyone's attention. Rei Furuya and Wataru Date's expressions turned serious when they saw the two people at the convenience store entrance.

Without hesitation, they shielded Yu Bai behind them.

Yu Bai looked at the two figures placed in front of him, a smile appearing in his eyes.

He quickly and quietly said the name of the convenience store, then hung up the phone and immediately deleted the call log.

She quietly nudged Furuya Rei's arm in front of her, then slipped her phone into his hand.

Sensing the boy's movements behind him and the extra item in his hand, Furuya Rei withdrew his hand when the two thugs weren't paying attention and put his phone back in his pocket.

Rei Furuya and Wataru Date exchanged a glance. They were closer to Yu Bai and had naturally heard him whisper the name of the shop.

When they needed to say the store's name, the only thing they could think of was that Yu Bai had secretly called the police from behind.

There are still many customers in the store, including a child. They can't act rashly; they need to stall for time until the police arrive.

"Put all your phones in this box!"

The thug in the red hat, holding an empty box, menacingly ordered everyone to hand over their phones. He wore a white mask, revealing only his fierce eyes.

At this moment, Yu Bai, along with Furuya Rei, Date Wataru, and other guests, were being held at gunpoint by thugs and gathered in a corner of the shop.

"Hey kid, where's your phone?"

Seeing that Yu Bai didn't take out his phone like the others, the thug in the red sweater spoke menacingly to Yu Bai.

At the same time, the thug wearing the green hat also raised his gun and pointed it at Yu Bai.

"I just arrived in Japan and my phone and everything else were stolen. You won't believe me, just look."

Yu Bai raised his hands, his face displaying a very obedient expression, which was extremely deceptive.

He slowly turned all the pockets of his clothes and pants inside out, indicating that he was now completely broke.

Of course, the ones in the game's inventory don't count.

Seeing that Yu Bai had indeed emptied all his pockets, coupled with his somewhat cheating face and innocent expression, they realized that Yu Bai had indeed emptied all his pockets.

The robber in the red sweater went up to check and, finding that he indeed had nothing on him, carried the box to the counter and, together with the robber in the green hat, emptied the cash register.

What? That guy just took the opportunity to touch my hand, right?

(▼ヘ▼)

Great, he's finished!

After deciding on the tragic fate of the thug in his mental notebook, Yu Bai squatted back down in his original spot with a forced smile.

Wait for me!

When your accomplices arrive, I'll wipe them all out!

"Um, are you alright?" Sensing Yu Bai's displeasure beside him, Furuya Rei coughed lightly.

"It's nothing~ I was just touched." Yu Bai replied with a bright smile, as if his back was covered with small black (crossed out) white flowers.

Upon hearing that Yu Bai had been touched by the thug, Furuya Rei and Date Wataru immediately felt somewhat dissatisfied.

Was that thug a pervert? No matter how good-looking this person is, he's still just a kid. Prison is definitely the best place for scum like this.

Having made up their minds to give the two thugs a government job, the two carefully observed for a good opportunity.

“Furuya, there are only two of them. Let’s each take one and finish them off quickly,” Date Wataru suggested to Furuya Rei, his sharp eyes fixed on the two thugs in front of the counter.

"Wait, something's not right. Why didn't these two run away immediately after robbing the money?" Furuya Rei frowned, keenly sensing something amiss.

Generally, criminals who commit robbery will quickly leave the scene after succeeding, but these two thugs did not seem to be in a hurry to escape. Instead, they were chatting leisurely.

"I think there are accomplices. For example, look behind you."

Just as the two were discussing, Yu Bai's voice quietly slipped in.

Upon hearing this, Rei Furuya and Wataru Date immediately looked back in the direction Yu Bai pointed. There, at the convenience store's back door, the clerk who should have been held hostage was now carrying a gun and walking in from behind the door.

Damn it! The shop assistant was an accomplice?

This sudden turn of events instantly heightened their vigilance. Originally, there were only two thugs, and they were confident they could handle one each, but now there was a third accomplice, and…

"Hey~ what are you guys dawdling about?"

What happened next was even worse. After the clerk walked in, two more thugs entered.

In the end, everyone had their mouths taped shut, their hands tied behind their backs, and were herded into a room.

After the assailants closed the door, Ida Wataru began to try to free his hands from the cable ties.

Unfortunately, after trying for a long time without success, the cable tie was really too tight. At this moment, he noticed that Furuya Rei, who was sitting in front of him, was untying his shoelaces.

"Furuya, you... could it be?" Date Wataru's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood his companion's intention.

As a fellow outstanding student at the police academy, he naturally understood that Furuya Rei wanted to use the friction of the shoelaces to break the cable ties binding their hands.

however……

"Snapped."

Just as they were working hard, a crisp breaking sound suddenly came from the side.

The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Yu Bai had already torn off the tape from his mouth, and the cable tie that he had broken off was lying on the ground.

? ? ? ?

No, Date Wataru had already tried to break the cable tie, but as everyone saw, that was the result.

But now it's been broken off so easily? How much strength must that have taken?

"Let me help you."

Noticing the gap in their gazes, he tilted his head, then squatted down beside them, extending two fingers to gently hook the ends of the cable tie.

Then, with a seemingly effortless pull: "Snap."

The cable tie binding Date Wataru broke and fell to the ground.

Jianggu Ling: "..."

Datehang: "..."

Just kidding. After experiencing so many time travels, Yu Bai's physique has long surpassed the human level.

Not to mention that during the Uruk era, he was a "divinely created soldier" who could fight Gilgamesh for three days and three nights with his bare hands without a clear winner.

These cable ties look no different from paper in Yu Bai's hands.

……

Date Wataru: Huh? It's not that I couldn't break it, but he broke it so easily?

Yu Bai: As Enkidu's Yu Bai, he has inexhaustible energy all day long. This is nothing compared to what's to come by!
