result--

Eh?

W-what's going on?

Did she remember it wrong?

The logout button isn't here?

After searching for a while, Yuuki Asuna's face gradually turned pale, and she was really a little panicked.

She searched and searched, but she couldn't find the logout option.

Asuna: Um, um, I can’t seem to find the logout button.

Fallen Saint Black Cat: No way? That's it! This is the guy called Mao Jing. Anyway, the game developer did it on purpose. This guy has obviously turned off the logout option, so you can't escape.

Can't escape?

Not that much.

If Asuna stays online for too long, her family will definitely come into her room.

At that time, I'm afraid she will be forced to log off by forcibly taking off the helmet on her head.

[Fallen Saint Black Cat: Don't think that your family can help you remove the helmet offline. The result will be that you will die on the spot. An electronic component in this virtual helmet will emit microwaves to damage your brain.

These words made Asuna's face even paler.

Asuna: You mentioned Kayaba Akihiko as the producer. Was he the one who did this? Why would he lock tens of thousands of players into the game? What's the purpose?

Fallen Saint Black Cat: The purpose is to let you play games. How should I put it? This guy has a dream. Well, it's like imagining that he can travel to another world like the protagonist in the novel and go on a fantasy adventure. So he made such a game. But games are games after all. In order to make it real, he made this game into a real one.

In this world, if you really die, you are really dead. If you want to end this death game, you have to beat the level!

Asuna: Isn't he sick?

Fallen Holy Black Cat: Yes, this is a disease, a psychological problem, a mental illness!

However, with tens of thousands of people trapped in the game and their lives threatened, the government cannot remain indifferent and will certainly find ways to rescue them.

and so--

[Fallen Holy Black Cat: Asuna, don't think you'll be rescued soon. From what I know, it took almost two years to complete the game, and nearly half of the people died during that time.

This further news made Asuna tremble. Does that mean thousands of people died?

Besides, it took two years to get through it?

During this period, the government failed to successfully rescue everyone, which means we have to live in this world for two years?

Asuna felt even more terrified when she thought of this. In this world, she didn't have anyone she was familiar with...

Is she going to live alone?

【Asuna: Um, well, maybe there's a system bug. It will be fixed soon.

Fallen Angel Black Cat: If only it were so. By the way, the next black curtain should appear. You should be able to see it soon. All of you will be forcibly teleported back to the central square of the original town. Kayaba Akihiko will appear in the air with a strange image and announce the cruel truth to you. He said that you are imprisoned in this world and you must pass the level before you can log out. In this world, you almost have only one life. If you die, the helmet mechanism will be triggered, destroying your brain.

So, now all we have to do is wait and see if what Black Cat said will actually happen.

whether--

what?

Suddenly, a bell rang, coming from the central square of the Town of Origin. At the same time, her body was wrapped in a blue beam of light, which made her feel extremely uneasy.

As the beam of light blocked the field of vision, nothing could be seen until the beam of light faded again and the field of vision could be seen again, but the field of vision had changed.

She really came to the central square.

It was packed with people, all the players were really gathered here.

For a moment, everyone on the scene started discussing in confusion. Most people thought that there was some kind of program or announcement of some activity.

Asuna also heard some people say that they couldn't find the logout button.

Gradually, the situation became tense and chaotic. Asuna looked up at the sky with trembling eyes. The sky turned an extremely deep red, as if stained with blood, which was very ominous.

Then, the red in the center became so thick that it looked like a giant drop of blood 1.7, and it formed a giant in a crimson cloak, a very strange giant.

This scene echoed what Black Cat said.

"Dear players, welcome to my world"

Such a low voice made Asuna's heart sink further.

If the figure in front of me is the GM, it would be normal for him to say something like a god.

But everyone knows this, so there is no need to emphasize it.

And the other party said this on purpose, which really sounded like a high and mighty god who could control everyone's life and death at will.

"My name is Kayaba Akihiko, and I'm the only one who can control this world right now."

Further declarations like these pushed Asuna's heart even closer to despair.

The developer personally went online and served as the GM, and made such remarks. It felt like a declaration made by terrorists after they had successfully occupied a venue and taken hostages.

So, please, don't say any more and don't say anything she doesn't want to hear!

Asuna prayed in her heart.

Chapter 092 Human suspicion, players killing each other

Like many others, Yuuki Asuna was still standing there at a loss.

The chaotic sounds around her seemed to have no effect on her.

She didn't come to her senses until someone accidentally bumped into her.

And the strange figure in the sky has disappeared.

The other party's announcement has ended.

From today on, the tens of thousands of players present here will live in this world.

If you want to escape, you have to clear this huge floating castle [Aincrad].

But now in this world, the resurrection mechanism has been cancelled. Once the HP reaches zero, the brain will be cooked by microwaves and die.

What a joke.

Many people didn't want to believe it, but Kayaba Akihiko brought in real-life news reports, allowing everyone to see that real society was indeed in a panic because the players were imprisoned.

There have even been cases where people forcibly removed their virtual helmets, which actually resulted in deaths.

Of course, it is also possible that these news were fabricated by Kayaba Akihiko to deceive everyone.

"Are you kidding me? You want to clear the hundredth floor?"

"According to closed beta test players on the forum, it took almost half a year to clear the sixth level."

"Only six levels in half a year? How long will it take to reach the hundredth level?"

"Yeah, and during the closed beta, the average player died over a hundred times, and now we've lost the resurrection mechanism. What a joke!"

The same message was conveyed all around, making Yuuki Asuna's heart even heavier.

At this rate of difficulty, will I have to stay in this world for the rest of my life?

Suddenly, Yuuki Asuna thought of something, and her eyes, which seemed to have lost their luster, regained their luster.

There is also the "Hyper Dimension Channel". If this thing is really not from SAO, it may be able to help her escape from this situation.

Talk to Miss Black Cat immediately and ask for more specific information.

Since I know it took two years to complete the game, it means I have a lot of knowledge about this game world, so maybe I can give you a way to complete it quickly.

[Asuna: Miss Kuroneko, could you please tell me what information you know about SAO? Especially the boss

Fallen Angel Black Cat: Regarding this, I don't think I can provide you with too much information, because the novel and animation are not very clear, except for some individual levels. Moreover, even if I tell you some of the boss's characteristics, they may not be correct. Maybe the information in my novel is a little different from the real world you live in.

You can feel that Miss Black Cat is very cautious. She is afraid that if the information she reveals goes wrong, it will cause her great harm.

Asuna could understand this.

However, she still hopes that Black Cat can tell her what he knows, and she will refer to it carefully.

She also hopes that Black Cat can tell her some information about the players, such as which players are more powerful and what kinds of situations might cause their accidental deaths, so that she can avoid them.

This way, more powerful players can be gathered to complete this death game.

By the way, Asuna also thought of a situation, that is, could there be GMs among the players?

These people keep an eye on the player's status and progress at all times. If they discover that the player has found a bug that allows them to exit the game or complete the game, they will inform Akihiko Kayaba and ask him to fix it.

So, Asuna immediately raised this question.

Fallen Angel Black Cat: Ah, this can be said to be both yes and no.

This answer was vague and a bit ambiguous, which made Asuna feel that Black Cat was also hesitating and struggling about something.

Suddenly, a situation flashed through Asuna's mind.

Black Cat said that Kayaba Akihiko's dream was to have adventures in a fantasy world.

So, Kayaba Akira can always be the one watching everyone play, right?

Only by participating in it can you realize your wishes.

this means--

[Asuna: Is Kayaba Akihiko also among the players?

Fallen Saint Black Cat: Uh]

Well, this reaction confirmed that Asuna's guess was correct.

【Asuna: Who is he? What's his ID?】

Miss Black Cat was silent.

[Fallen Holy Black Cat: I can't tell you, well, just like what happened with Madoka just now, telling you earlier might not be a good thing.

Asuna could understand this. She was worried that she would lose her mind and go directly to Kayaba Akihiko, and be killed by him.

As for telling more people and threatening everyone, it probably won't be useful. The worst that can happen is that Kayaba Akihiko will give up his original identity.

[Fallen Holy Black Cat: And I hope you don’t leak the news that the GM may be mixed in with the players.

Asuna: Why? 】

It is understandable not to tell the specific person, but it is a bit puzzling that they don’t even tell this and don’t let the players be alert, thinking that the person may be right next to them and may kill them.

Tendo Civilian Security Company: Why else? Of course it's human nature to be suspicious of each other, especially when emotions are extreme, that's interesting, I'm afraid that before finding Kayaba Akihiko, the players will be suspicious of each other and kill each other.

The person who answered made Asuna's face turn pale. She thought that Kayaba Akihiko was hiding carefully because of this.

This means that she might have to keep this secret alone.

[Fallen Holy Black Cat: Regarding Asuna, I will sort out all the information you want about the game, but please note that it is for reference only!!!
