"It's true, I can't send messages."
Shino said with a slightly confused expression.
"But Yui, how do you know you don't even have mhcp or cardinal eyes?"
\"How to put it, in this world, you can always feel the existence of some things that you cannot detect. There is one thing, such as eyes, that you cannot understand unless your consciousness is more acute. That is mhcp and Cardinal's Eyes But even such a thing does not exist here. No matter how keen you are.\"
"I have never felt like this before." I believe Yui, Strea, Jupiter, and Lilan can also feel this. However, is it possible that there is a completely independent space that can escape the eyes of an absolute ruler called Cardinal?
"A space where you can escape from the Cardinal's eyes. Can you do it?"
\"Ordinarily it should be impossible. Originally, the facility itself was as if it didn't exist when the service started.\"
"You can add maps to Netoge via update, but are you saying this place was added via update?"
"Yeah. It seems like there was an update that we didn't even notice. To be honest, I can't even believe it."
A completely separate space was added without mhcp or cardinal noticing. I can't believe something like this is being used for harmless purposes.
Or, since "mnemosyne" uses it, what purpose can it have but an evil one?
“Anyway, let’s search this place first.
As I called him and started walking, Shino, Yui, and Lilan looked around and started chasing me. It seemed like a maze of captures, but the situation made me feel even more nervous than usual.
Weird white walls and doors are everywhere. Even the floor was dyed white, with a texture like marble and tiles.
"Even though I've lived here for two years, I've never seen anything like this before." I felt like I'd entered a different world and was completely restless.
\"I don't know what kind of place this is. Although it's not as big as a maze, it looks quite big. It seems like the dungeon itself has become a research facility or something\"
The look of it reminds me of a big hospital in the real world. I wondered if the hospital where I was laid to rest was like this, and looking back, I was a little surprised. Because Shino's expression became quite uneasy, she looked around to support me.
\"Shino, what happened?\"
Shino seemed to understand what I said and turned towards me.
"ah"
\"What's wrong, Shino, you look pale.\"
"It's okay, it's nothing"
Until now, when Shino said she was fine, there were actually many times when she was fine. Even now, he doesn't seem to have done anything and his face is very pale. Apparently, something was going on inside Shino.
Yui must have the same idea as me.
"Mom, are you okay? It looks like nothing is wrong."
\"Actually, it's nothing. More importantly, be careful with Yui and Kirito, there might be enemies.\"
\"I'm also curious about Shino's situation, but he is currently infiltrating the enemy's base.\" I beat up the people who gathered after hearing the alarm just now, but it wouldn't be surprising if they are still there.
\"Understood. Shino and Lilan, if anything happens, please tell me immediately.\"
When we finished speaking and turned our faces forward, we suddenly found that a door was blocked and we stopped. The texture is the same as the surrounding wall, but is clearly a door decoration. ——That figure reminds me of the virus-blocking door of a medical institution.
"Door?"
"This door seems to be hiding something very important."
\"I immediately raised my sword, and Shino also raised her bow.\"I was convinced that there was something deep in this place - this thought kept popping up inside me, and it sounded the alarm.
\"Yui, wait at the entrance to confirm whether it is safe inside. Then run, looking for the enemy as carefully as possible.\"
\"Got it. No matter what happens, I will crush you with my fire and sword.
Hearing Rilan's powerful "voice" and his strong breathing, Shino and I pushed towards the door with all our strength. The door moved quickly and silently, then opened completely. There was no sound at all, which seemed a bit unnatural.
\"!?\"
The interior is hidden by an unnatural door. It was a huge shock to us to witness this scene unfold there.
Several beds were lined up along the walls of the room, which was as spacious as the boss's room, with several men and women lying on their backs. Nearby, there was a futuristic white contraption that was at odds with the game's worldview, and its quiet, moving sound filled the room.
"But that's not what surprised us." Wires similar to LAN cables ran from this world-shaking device to the heads of people in bed.
"W-what is this place?"
"What's this..."
The two looked around in surprise. A man and a woman were lying on the bed, surrounded by suspicious machines. This strange sight created a strange atmosphere that filled the whole room. Just like a laboratory in a science fiction movie.
As we walked around the room, we were drawn into a world that looked nothing like SAo.
\"Kirito, these guys are all players!\"
"What did you say!?"
I originally thought that there must be an NPC sleeping on the bed, but when I followed Lilan's words and looked carefully, there was a reaction, and an icon showing the player appeared. After looking around the room to confirm, I discovered that over thirty players had actually been caught.
We felt chills running down our spines when we realized that this was not a room for capturing NPCs, but a room for capturing players.
\"This, why do players do this?\"
Just when we were surprised, Lilan turned to the player lying on the bed.
\"And it's not just one player. We're all infected with the parasite."
Lilan's "voice" echoed in his mind, making him even more frightened. They gathered in such a large room, were connected to suspicious devices, and were even infected with "pseudo-experience parasites." What is the facility in this room where experiments that have nothing to do with SAo's worldview are being conducted?
While I was thinking, Shino's voice came to my ears.
"After all, this is the factory of simulation experience parasites. It is a place where players gather to own and release simulation experience parasites."
My vague thoughts finally turned into firm convictions. As Shino said, this is the core of what happened in Aincrad. This is where the "pseudo-experience parasite" is born, parasitizing the player and releasing it into Aincrad.
The players sleeping here are all kidnapped players who were possessed by the "pseudo-experience parasite" and planned to return to Aincrad.
The abominable being that causes this is the egg of the parasitic simulator.
\"I see, so this is the "nest" of the "simulation experience parasite" and this device is the "egg" of the "simulation experience parasite"!\"
If even this is destroyed, the "pseudo-experience parasite" will cease to exist. Thinking like this, I raised my sword and was about to smash the egg.
"wait"
A voice reached my ears and I stopped.
I was a little surprised that there was anyone else besides us, so I turned my face in that direction and saw someone standing there like us.
They wore white armor and white robes, just like the "Mnemosyne" who lived here, but their masks were white and decorated with gold, so they were different from the people fighting at the entrance.
Based on this fact, I immediately predicted that this Mnemosyne would be the one to unite the others.
"Who are you!"
Holding a black and silver sword and a white and green sword, he poses in a pose that allows him to activate his sword skills at any time. Everyone was trembling when they saw this before, but the all-white human in front of them showed no reaction.
"We are [mnemosyne]. The ones who control this world and the real world."
The sound escaping from the cracks in the mask was rough and resembled a synthesized sound. Apparently, that mask acted as a filter for editing the sound. Moreover, in addition to the mask, there is also armor and a robe, so it is difficult to tell whether the person is a man or a woman.
"I know your name. What on earth is this place?"
The white man in question turned to Shino, who was holding a bow. Can't see because it's covered by the mask.
“This is a sanctuary that advances our noble goals.”
The words that popped out of the mask aroused the anger in my heart. What kind of asylum is this, whose purpose is to capture so many players, set them up as human experiments, and let them get lost in the simulated experience?
(No)
"This place is indeed a refuge." Apart from here, there is no other place in Aincrad for these guys to conduct such heinous experiments as "pseudo-experience parasites". That's why they call this place Sanctuary.
"I see, it turns out to be a shelter. So what experiments are you conducting in that shelter? Where do the players here come from?"
"The white mask faces me."
"I don't need to teach you. There's no point in knowing this. So I'll make you the same as the people here."
"You mean you don't want to answer. Then, we're free to beat you up. Besides, my friends are in this facility right now—"
After saying that, the moment I picked up the sword again, I felt an discomfort similar to pain and burning coming from my right shoulder. Just when I was wondering what happened, my body suddenly lost strength and I couldn't move on the spot.
When I turned my face to the person who must have done something, they pretended to throw something - in front of me, a throwing knife composed of a black figure and covered with red light was inserted into my right hand. On my shoulder, my right shoulder was filled with displeasure. Moreover, from the moment his body became numb within a few seconds of being hit, he knew that the flying knife was poisoned with paralysis.
"No..."
The numbness spread throughout my body, and I couldn't move at all - because monsters would take advantage of my inability to move, this state of paralysis is sometimes considered the most troublesome state in SAo.
\"Kirito, Kirito!\"
I put some strength into my motionless body and turned my face to the back. I saw Shino, who was paralyzed by the knife like me, and Lilan, who fell to the ground in pain. Unconsciously, the white coat threw paralyzing knives at Shino and Lilan.
\"Shino, run again!!\"
Then, footsteps approached. When I turned my head again, a white masked man was walking towards me. When I saw that figure, I imagined what would happen next moment. This guy will definitely attack us who can't move and kill us.
"Yes, in this guy's opinion, we are just hateful idiots who invaded the sanctuary and don't know what to do next." I decided to delete it immediately.
While I was thinking this, a white man walked towards me with steady steps, stared into my face - and passed me. I thought I was going to be attacked by a white man, but I was dumbfounded and turned my face back to the white man. The human walked towards Shino while bathing in the air of the laboratory.
\"Poetry, Shino!!\"
From the beginning, his target was Shino, not me.
\"Shinon, Shino!!!\"
\"Shino!!!\"
He shouted frantically to Shino, but Sinon was unable to move due to paralysis, and the white man gradually approached Shino. And when the distance between Shino and the human was less than 5m, something suddenly stood between them.
The dark-eyed girl with long black hair and wearing something like a white dress—that is our daughter Yui who has always been by our side. We didn't expect Yui to jump out, so we unconsciously raised our voices.
\"Yu, Yui!!?\"
\"Yui!?\"
"Yui!!?\"
Yui stretched out her hands to block Shino's path, glaring at the white human with sharp eyes. At the same time, the human in white stopped where he was.
"Don't get too close to mom!
\"Yui stands in front of humans.\" Its body and eyes are trembling, and it can be seen at a glance that it is trying to protect Shino after swallowing fear. I really want to curse my body for being unable to move in front of Yui like this.
"I don't want to raise my hands to a kid like you."
As soon as the human voice came out, the human suddenly closed the distance with Yui and pinched Yui's neck with one hand. The human lifted Yui's child's body with one hand, and Yui closed her eyes tightly and grabbed the human's arm that was squeezing her neck. However, no matter how much strength Yui exerted, the human hand could not move at all.
"If you get in the way, there's nothing you can do about it."
With that said, the human threw Yui against the wall like a spear. After being separated from human hands, Yui's body roared and hit the wall. It briefly stuck to the wall in an inverted position, and then fell to the floor with a "plop". Just like that, it stopped moving.
"A white man raised his hands to a child as young as ours." Witnessing this scene from beginning to end, I felt great anger and hatred in my heart, and my vision was dyed bright red.
"Yui————————!!!"
"You, you ahhhhh!!!"
The room filled with the sound of mechanical operation echoed with Sinon's and mine's voices.
"I want to jump off his head right now." With the sword in my hand, I couldn't help but knock the head off.
Yet, even though my wife was in danger because of how my daughter was being treated, I didn't have the physical strength to move, let alone hold the sword. No matter how much anger and hatred I built up in my body and heart, I couldn't fight the paralysis.
"Kill you, I will definitely kill you!!!\"
Lilan's angry voice sounded in his mind, but sure enough, Lilan couldn't move and could only moan. Then, the human who paralyzed us and stopped moving slowly approached Sinon, and finally stopped at a place overlooking Sinon.
"you you you you!!!"
The human completely ignored our voices and turned to face Shino. Upon closer inspection, Shino was trembling like Yui even though she was glaring at the human with a frown. It was really scary and there was no way around it, but I tried my best not to let the other person understand.
\"Shino!!\"
When he shouted, the white man put his right hand into his robe, made a gesture as if he were grasping something, and then withdrew it again. The moment I saw what I was holding, my body froze.
Since the world is a game premised on moving the body, there are no projectiles other than bows and arrows, nor should they be. Therefore, there are no perfect projectile weapons such as bows, guns, and pistols. That's how it is.
"!!"
The thing the white man was holding was a "pistol", its black body shining in the light.
A white masked man suddenly appeared. The creature, which uses a synthesized voice and wears white armor and robes, cannot be identified as male or female and can only be called human.
The humans threw knives at Kirito and the others, paralyzing them, and only started to get closer when they were completely unable to move. At that time, Yui jumped out to protect Shino, but even so, she was moved away by humans and came to Shino.
She clearly should have done something to herself, but she put her hand on Yui Yui - seeing this, Shino wanted to take action immediately and stab her neck with a dagger. However, even Shino's longing and anger overwhelmed SAo's paralysis.
Then, the human who pushed Yui aside put his hand into his arms, and finally pulled it out. Shino wanted to know what kind of knife would be used to slaughter the fools who broke into the shelter, even more cruel than the "Smiling Coffin".
"The weapon that humans have is a pistol, which should not exist in this world." In this world where only swords, knives, and bows and arrows exist as player weapons, the person in front of me has a pistol that should not exist.
That's not all. When the white man pulled out the gun from his arms, the handle of the pistol flashed into Shino's eyes. Full metal grip with non-slip texture and engraved badge.
An asterisk mark in a circle. Black Star - "Type 54 Black Star". Yes, it was the same damn gun from that day and that time.
"Ha ha ha ha..."
The numbness all over my body became more and more intense, my ears were filled with the sounds of my heart, and a thin sound leaked from my throat.
Memories sealed by warm days spent with loved ones and close ones, as well as "diseases" about to be cured, awaken and begin to move in the poem. Every time the "diaphragm" moved, his mind would be dominated by that memory, and his body would be completely deprived of the ability to move.
\"Shinon, Shino!\"
Kirito yelled at Sinon who pointed the gun at him, but nothing reached Sinon's ears. All you hear is your inner voice.
And his eyes were fixed on the hateful muzzle of the gun, not daring to move. I wanted to look away from it, I didn't want to see it, but my body wouldn't listen to me. ——I can only stare behind the muzzle of the gun.
Behind the muzzle was a man's face. ——At that time, the madman who robbed the bank with Type 54 and tried to shoot the customer Shino's mother. The young Shino pounced on him and snatched the pistol, only to see the face of the madman who shot him to death appearing behind the muzzle of the gun.
"You said you were here?" Chasing myself lost in this world, I came here all the way, and this time has arrived. Are you saying you were trying to shoot him with a pistol, like you were doing?
"No, that's not right." He's still alive.
In order to avenge himself, he turned into a demon and lurked in the world, constantly waiting for the opportunity to take revenge. Watch yourself from the shadows and monitor yourself while you are immersed in the good things and forgetting your memories.
"Gu, Gu"
No matter how much I tried to move my body, the numbness in my body was too intense and I couldn't move. Sure enough, this man was fully prepared for this moment. Pushing myself so far, dragging me to where I am now. Yes, this paralysis is the chain that prepares the man for suicide.
Looking at the white human of the man, the white demon kept pointing the muzzle at Shino Shino, pulling the barrel, putting the bullet into the body of the crossing, and putting his finger on the trigger. Then, to avenge that time, he pulled the trigger.
“——————!!!”
A bullet fired with a sickening explosion.
Shino believed that the bullet hit her and crouched down, but she did not feel the pain of being hit by the bullet. This made Shino feel extremely uncomfortable. He stopped squatting and turned to the right almost unconsciously. There was a small hole in the floor that looked like it had been shot.
The white devil opened fire. I shot a gun for the first time in the world. However, the bullet did not enter Sinon's body, but entered the floor on the right side of Sinon's head, and then disappeared.
-I wasn't shot. She was not shot - she was filled with such confidence and a trace of relief, but at the same time, huge fear overflowed, filling her heart in the blink of an eye, erasing her sense of security and confidence, nourishing Awakening "Slug".
Shino spoke for the cries of the "illness" who happily received nourishment.
"I do not like!!!"
Sinon was like a child again, screaming and struggling to move her chained body.
If she did, she would realize that she had an unusual fear of guns, but Shino couldn't stop screaming. I couldn't help shouting out the fear in my heart. Even if you watch it with someone you enjoy watching.
"I've been shot."
"I've been shot."
"I've been shot."
"The next one is going to be shot."
"The next one is going to be shot."
"The next one is going to be shot."
help.
help.
help.
help.
Shino shouted out all the words that kept pouring out of her mind. Shino had no intention of stopping screaming.
"!"
The white demon stared mercilessly at the target, who screamed awkwardly and scattered, but eventually shifted the focus from the girl to the gun in her hand. After staring at the gun barrel shining black and silver under the light for a while, the white devil in the mask laughed and pointed the gun at the girl again.
"I understand, isn't that great?"
Yes, just after the sound came from the gap in the mask, the white devil pulled the trigger again. In the room where many 'pseudo-experience parasite' eggs were planted, a rumble sounded again.
The gunpowder exploded and the bullet was shot out - in front of him was Shino's left wrist.
When the bullet hit her left hand, Shino seemed to feel severe pain and let out a low scream. The next moment, Shino's left wrist was torn off from her arm.
Of course, this doesn't mean that his arms were torn off or that he was missing limbs. In this world, there is a status abnormality called part defect. If the same part is attacked or cut multiple times, it is possible to fall into it.
However, just like in reality, body parts will not disappear throughout their lifetime and will return to their original state after a certain period of time. As for the pain, it's just the same discomfort as when you get hurt, it doesn't actually hurt.
If she were the usual Shino, she should be able to calmly analyze that she is just missing a part and wait for recovery. However, Shino could not do this now. She could only think of her left hand being chopped off. Discomfort is also an illusion of real pain.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah"
Sinon felt the sensation of losing her body and let out an audible yet indescribable scream.
This must have been when the bullet entered the demon's belly. In revenge for that incident, the demon tore off his left hand.
"Ah ah ah ah ah"
Shino couldn't even scream and made a weak sound. However, the White Demon's anger still did not subside. He aimed at Shino's right leg as the next target and shot a bullet full of anger and revenge. The first explosion weakened Shino's right leg, and the second explosion shattered Shino's right leg and disappeared.
"——"
Sinon could only make a whistling sound from her throat due to countless pains and unconsciousness, but she knew why. The right leg was revenge for when I shot that demon in the shoulder. In revenge for that incident, the devil took away his right leg.
Then I ended the demon's life with a third shot. Just like that time - the white devil in front of me was taking revenge for the third time with a gun pointed at me. Further forward is the forehead.
The next time the white demon pulls the trigger, it pierces his forehead and kills him. The ogre's revenge will soon be complete - and the ogre behind the gun is smiling, dreaming of that moment.
[Hey, come over here]
At that time, the muddy sound came into my ears again. Soon you will be taken to the place where the devil is, the same place as the devil. You escape this world and the real world and are taken to a world where demons exist, which is hell.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, ah ah ah"
The body is bound by paralysis chains. Shino shook Yui's neck vigorously. My vision was blurred by spilled tears, but I could clearly see the smoking muzzle and barrel, and the face of the demon sitting behind.
Sinon subconsciously thought of a way to escape the demon. Although her heart was filled with fear, Shino's subconscious was thinking several times faster than usual, and soon she spelled out a word that made Shino's mouth and vocal cords move.
"Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry."
Until now I never imagined that the man would turn into a demon and chop off his arms and legs, so I never said that. Continue to say these words with all your heart. Shino's own will no longer exists. It was Shino's memory, her heart, and the "hurt" lingering in her heart that made her do this.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry"
The man who was resurrected as a white devil continued to point his gun at Shino. I didn't hear Shino's apology. Because he is about to take the final step and drag Shino into the same hell as himself.
His whole body was bound by paralysis chains, his left hand and right leg were torn off, and his means of resistance completely disappeared. Then shoot Shino in the forehead and she will go to hell. In order to make this moment come true, the white devil aimed at Shino's forehead and pulled the trigger.
The next moment, a huge roar sounded, interrupting Shino's continuous screams. Sinon was forced to unconsciously accept the moment that had finally arrived, closed her eyes tightly, and waited for the moment when consciousness disappeared.
However, no matter how long it took, Sinon's consciousness did not disappear, and she opened her eyes without thinking. The white demon was not there, but a giant wolf dragon wrapped in a white-gold carapace, with four angel-like wings on its back and white hair growing everywhere.
"That's right, Kirito's beloved partner, Lilan."
"ah"
When Sinon called out to the werewolf who suddenly appeared, the werewolf turned to face Sinon, lowered his face, and then turned Sinon's body over with the tip of his nose, making it prone. Then he raised his lips slightly, exposed his teeth, silently bit Sinon's small part, and bit deeply into it with his fangs.
Sinon's body shook violently, as if she was electrocuted, and then stopped moving.
At that time, Shino's consciousness had disappeared from here.
My beloved daughter was injured, and Kirito could only watch his wife being destroyed. She thought to herself that if that man had just shot Shino, the person she loved, she would die.
Helping Shino is her partner Lilan. Lilane collapsed along with Kirito, but he recovered from his paralysis several times faster than Kirito and attacked the wolf dragon with a sprint, knocking it into the wall.
However, Lilane shouldn't have a skill that can quickly recover from status ailments. If you and another player are paralyzed at the same time, you will be restrained for approximately the same amount of time and eventually stand up at the same time.
By this time, although strange phenomena had occurred, Kirito could no longer care about it.
Just after Lilan regained her activity and fought off the humans, Kirito moved his body that had finally been freed from paralysis at a very fast speed and hugged the body of his fallen relative Shino.
\"Shino Shino──────!!!\"
Shino had lost consciousness, and no matter how hard she shook, she couldn't open her eyes. Maybe he shed tears because of the terrible fear, but there were obvious crying marks on the corners of his eyes and cheeks - just like this, the picture of Shino's soul lost and crazy kept reappearing in Kirito's mind, and his voice kept coming. sounded.
\"Shino Shino!!\"
After learning about Shino's past, Kirito asked a simple question. I wonder how Sinon would react if she saw the pistol?
Now, with me unable to move, the answer was copied. As a result, I tried to run away from the gun pointed at me, but I couldn't take my eyes off it, causing panic and an overwhelming fear of whoever was chasing me.
"...damn it...!!"
At that time, Shino must have seen that the person in front of her was the man she shot. No, maybe the pistol itself looks like a person.
\"Since that person is dead, he does not exist anywhere in this world, and he cannot come to this world, let alone avenge Sinon.\" However, Sinon, who was pointed at the gun, had a problem. A delusional delusion that the man was resurrected as a vengeful demon and attacked her. This was probably the reason why Shino felt scared at that time.
"Why couldn't I violate the rules of this game at that time?" Couldn't he break through the paralysis state, rush towards Sinon, and use that pistol to kill the revenge demon born in Sinon's body? ——For the first time, Kirito regretted that he failed to violate the game's system and had to obey it. He also hated the system that restricted him at that time.
"!!!"
No, originally, if the white man had not taken out a pistol to threaten Sinon, Sinon would not have become like this, and Sinon would not have felt the illusion of being attacked by a revengeful demon. All because of that white man. Not only that, the white man shot the frightened Shino's body, tearing off her left hand and right leg.
The man who attacked the deeply traumatized Shino with a pistol threatened and frightened her unnecessarily. I was hit by a heavy attack with enough force to sink into the wall, but it wasn't enough.
I want to throw the overflowing anger into my body and smash it like this. If I don't destroy that life, I'm no longer content. ——This idea spread in Kirito's mind instantly. Soon after, Kirito, who was satisfied with this, let go of Sinon and held the sword with both hands.
Just like that, Kirito turned around, glared at the wall behind him and the white human buried in it, and assumed a running posture.
“You you ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! !”
In a room with countless players lying on the bed, Kirito roared, kicked the floor with a thunderous sound, smashed it into pieces, and ran towards the human at full speed. The scene of a loved one being tortured flashed through my mind many times. My vision was filled with red sparks of anger, but Yui clearly reflected the target, the white devil.
He couldn't move before, but maybe he fainted from fright, and now he can't move either. If you don’t kill me now, when will you kill me?
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!"
A disgusting devil in white tortured his beloved wife to the limit and hurt his beloved daughter. Kirito's body quickly approached the white demon, and his sword was wrapped in light, just like when hunting monsters.
Then, the face hidden by the mask, the heart in the armor, the neck at the junction of the mask and the armor - in short, he aimed at the place where he could kill with one blow, and at this moment, he tried to make the scene of killing the demon described in his mind Becomes a reality in a moment——
\"Kirito, stop!!\"
A familiar "voice" sounded among the fiery sparks, and Kirito stopped moving. The sword held in both hands stopped when it hit the white demon's neck.
"The Voice" continues.
\"Don't kill him\"
Kirito gritted his teeth and looked back at the owner of the <Voice>. It was a red-eyed giant wolf dragon with a carapace like platinum armor, four wings, a sword-like horn on its forehead, and a golden mane.
"Why"
Wolf Dragon - Lilan replied.
\"That guy is the culprit who brought parasites to the players here. The information it contains may be what you want. You want the intelligence that that guy has, you want to know the intelligence here, you want to know The truth, so you're finally here.
"I did think so at the beginning." However, Kirito didn't want such a thing now. Instead, I think I want this devil's head now.
\"I don't want to do that kind of thing anymore! This guy is Shino, why! If you can move, why don't you kill him!\"
Wolf Dragon's expression suddenly became serious.
\"It's not like I didn't see anything! It was just like the moment when I watched him torture Shino and hurt Yui. Even I want to bite that thing off now!\"
\"Then tear it apart! I will order you as a <tamer> <familiar>! Kill this guy!! Send this guy to hell and let him pray to the devil for forgiveness!!!\"
"reject!!\"
"Why!!"
The quarrel between the <tamer> and his <familiar>. A faint voice came to Kirito's ears. The scene unfolding in Aincrad, before Kirito and Lirun became a pair, was a scene that could not have happened.
"Dad, it's just as Mr. Li Ran said."
Kirito and Leilu were startled by the familiar tone, and both turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound. She must have received a strong impact. Yui held her right shoulder with her left hand and staggered to her feet. Seeing her weak breathing and stumbling legs, Kirito threw away the sword in both hands and rushed to Yui's side to support her body.
"Yu you"
He leaned on his father and said softly.
\"This is the root cause of the events that have plagued Aincrad to this day, and the people there are probably the ones who know it best, so don't kill him, put him in jail and then\"
Yui gently pointed her finger towards the back of the room. When I turned my face to my daughter's fingertips, I saw something familiar, like a marble table installed.
"Is that the console on the first floor?"
"Maybe that's the console that I've been operating just now. I'm sure that all the information about this place is concentrated there. Let's visit together. Dad, besides, I can walk, so please be more protective of mom than me. I feel that mom is under dad's It feels more secure on your back.”
Hearing Yui's weak voice, Kirito nodded, took Yui's hand and walked slowly, walked to Shino who was lying down, and picked up her body. Just like that, I turned my face to the wolf dragon and gave the order.
“Rerun, keep that guy in your mouth.
\"Understood\"
Kirito, who heard the sound of the wolf dragon returning, picked up Shino's body and took Yui to the marble console at the end of the room.
The day after we infiltrated and captured the Mnemosyne stronghold, Asuna and I, as leaders of the Bloodsworn Knights, went to find Alice, the developer of the game, and told them what we knew about that place. everything of.
The information there used a lot of codes and special numbers, so it was incomprehensible at first glance, but thanks to Yui's presence, I was able to decipher it and learn a lot about the events that happened in Aincrad and the purpose of the "Memory Goddess" .
The most important thing was that I was sitting on the sofa in front of Alice's room.
"Research on human memory and emotion, the mnemosyne project?
\"Yes. This obviously ignores SAo's worldview, doesn't it?\"
Because this world is based on pure fantasy worldview, there should be no science fiction names or experiments. However, there are data and weapons that completely ignore the world view, and Mogonomins is actually using them to fight.
\ "Ah, Yeah. This world is composed of a worldview common to the sword and magic. If there is no pistol, there will be no mechanical -but it is a bit difficult to generalize. \" ""
"Uh, is there something similar to mechanical civilization in this world?"
Alice nodded about Asuna's question.
\ "Yeah. It may be understood when it comes to the upper layer, but this Ian Grandite is built by multiple countries. If it contains the heritage of ancient civilization that develops mechanical science, it is not surprising. The people who are not sure of "Mogo Mindne" use these information to build that place. \ "
"Alice's eyes widened a little, and then turned to me."
"And they kidnap many players and continue to conduct emotional human experiments. And they took the name of this research project and claimed to be 'mnemosyne'. Didn't you find any data about the experiments? For example, what kind of experiments did you conduct?"
We took out a variety of data from the console behind the room, but all these data were strictly protected, and the passwords that could not be solved with links could not be cracked, so I could not understand all the contents of the experiment. Even so, I can still be sure that I am doing an experiment I don't want to make public.
"I didn't know it at the time. But it seemed to be sure that I did something unknown, because I used a lot of strict passwords and ciphertexts."
Alice lowered her head and put her hand on her chin.
"It seems that there is no doubt that this is where Sha Xia and Mina were taken away. When we rushed there, many players were receiving experiments, and they were all parasitic by \" pseudo -experience parasites \ "— —The "pseudo -experience parasites \" really spread from there? "
As Lan said, it was the nest of the "pseudo -experience parasitic", and it was also a place where a large amount of insect eggs were placed. However, even if there are many eggs, as long as I connect to the player's head, I cannot destroy \ "pseudo -experience parasites \" eggs, because Li Lan said that if I force myself to do, it will cause the player's brain to abnormal abnormalities. .
However, Yui skillfully manipulated the console, eliminated the \ "pseudo -experience parasites \" of all players inside En Grandte, and wiped out all the records. I completely eliminated \ "pseudo -experience parasites \" from this world.
Then, when I asked those who woke up, they had no special problem, although they had forgotten the memory of simulation experience and how they were brought here.
"[Parasiter of Simulation Experience] To some extent, it is managed by the power of Yi Yi, and she also understands what the [parasite of the simulation experience] looks like."
\ "Well, it is worthy of my daughter. What is Yui? \"
According to Yi Yi, "Pseudo -experience parasitic" is a "pseudo signal". We wear Nervegear and sneak into this world by receiving a special signal sent to our brain.
Not only that, the "pseudo -experience parasite" also plays a role like a beacon, transforming the memories, emotions, and emotions of parasites into data and transmitting it here.
"Send a false \" pseudo signal \ "to allow players to experience even more impossible things and carefully record their emotions into data?
"Does this mean that the deworming made when you re -broadcast cut off the pseudo signal?"
As Alice said, although the principle of Lan's deworming is unclear, research by Yui shows that this is a "pseudo signal" that cuts off the "pseudo -signal" to restore the normal signal.
What's more, with the deworming of Lilan, \ "pseudo -experience parasites \" disappeared, and even the role of faith has disappeared. In other words, the players who were dewraded by Lilan have completely returned to their original state.
\ "It seems like this. By fidding that console," Pseudo -experience parasites and beaches have disappeared.
\ "Kirito Jun, your decision is correct. The experimental data of people who do this kind of thing are not good. The best way is to erase them all. \"
After Alice laughed, her expression was slightly serious, and said to me.
\ "So, Kirito Jun. I saw" Moshominsin was taken away, but did they have BOSS among them? \ "
When I read the research materials of Mnemosyne, I found a name that seemed to be the boss of Mnemosyne. In other words, this name is the name of almost all experimental data, so I and Yi I found that this guy is definitely the boss of \ "mnemosyne \".
Its name is "Fugen".
The biggest suspect in the history of the history in the history of talking to Alice has been active since we were trapped in SAO, making Japan's real world as chaotic as the SAO incident.
We speculate that "crushed people" logged in to this world in some way, and we were doing bad things, but we never thought it would come true, so when we found his name in the research data of "Mogonomins" We are really surprised.
And I thought the one who attacked our white mask was the bosses of "Mogonomins" and "Broken Man".
"[Mnemosyne] The name of the boss is- [Broken Man]."
Hearing this sentence, Alice "called", and Asuna showed a surprise expression.
"[Runner] Are you talking about?"
"Yeah, it must be a 'escape". The name of the copy of the experimental data is almost all' escape. "
After simply explaining the surprised Asuna, Alice turned around and faced me.
"I have a feeling, but I guess it is that guy. I want to know what bad things he did after he came to this world, but all the bad hopes hit me."
Alice picked up again.
"And when we or the program is not aware of, adding various functions to this world is not what ordinary people can do. No, it is impossible to even super accounts."
Alice's words made me dumbfounded. According to Alice, the super account is an administrator account. With it, you can do whatever you want in this world.
"Uh? What do you mean, can't you do even if you are a super account? With a super account, can you exercise the authority authority?"
Alice turned to me and Yisna, sighed softly.
\ "In fact, Kirito Jun. I haven't told you one thing, that is the existence of the main account." \ "
"main account?"
The main account seems to be a term, which refers to the highest level account, or even surpass the super account, let alone ordinary accounts. According to Alice, the user of the main account is the heavyweight of Argus developers, that is, the chief programmer, director, and other people who have the highest permissions. With it, they can even rewrite the world.
However, in case of some kind of trouble in the world, it will be forcibly transferred by the program and has to deal with the problem, so it is also a troublesome account.
\ "That may be the account number of Mao Sae Akihiko \"
Alice nodded at Aisna, who was uneasy.
\ "Yes, Maochang classmates use the main account. If he has the main account, he can even update the world. \" Breakthrough \ "is the main account holder. He can update the world through the main account and promote himself Research\"
Alice covered her face with one hand.
"Sorry, I think [Broken Man] is just a hacker. I didn't expect him to be a researcher. He is a crazy scientist."
"Teacher Alice, it is not so easy to get the Lord account.
Alice looked up at Asuna's problem.
\ "'Broken people' is likely to be a group of people in Reyrto. They are the big companies that replace the disappearing Argus to maintain this world. In order to maintain this world, sometimes the main account is required, so Rexto is likely to be in Agus. Before the disintegration, we took over the main account. 'Broken Man' uses one of them to log in to this world and conduct research by Kirito. "That's it."
Of course, in order to maintain this world, sometimes the highest level of accounts such as Mao Square Mingyan. Maybe one of its Requir employees may be "crushed people", which can be said to be the root of various events of Eyerlangt.
However, I don't know that so many people can do such a thing -when I think so, I found that Aisna's face showed a confused expression.
\"What's wrong, Asuna?\"
\ "Maybe I didn't expect to be talked about, Asuna turned surprised to me. \"
\ "Ah, no, nothing. By the way, do you find someone who is similar to the" escape "?"
"Alice replied to me first."
\ "I think I am the white mask man who was thrown into prison.
"I am surprised that you first said my thoughts."
"At that time, I thought the person wearing a white mask brought us so painful was the boss of Mogononine."
It was found that he was a "escape man". He said he was the person who ruled the world, and he was strong enough, and he had been exploring the game console before we came in. This kind of thing can only be done by \ "Moreminsonie \".
"I'm the same. I'm sure he is the boss of Mnemosyne, and I think he is a jailbreak. In fact, there are many players in his room and a game console."
\ "Indeed, I look at the figure you took by you, but how do you say there is an unusual atmosphere. \"
When we escaped from there and returned to the first floor to put the guy of "Mogonomins" into prison, Alice rushed to us and went to the Black Iron Palace together. There, Alice witnessed the human beings of white masks, and also learned the harm caused by humans to poetry of white masks.
"And he also did something out of my exclusive patients. Well, if he is really a" escape ", then it's okay now. Even if you have a main account, you can't get prison."
"Is the prison that can't even break through the main account?"
"Yeah, the prison is actually a place where criminals are arrested. The criminals have nothing to do with ordinary people, super people, and masters. Even if they are caught, unless they get the help of the outside world, or the sentence is over, they can't come out. "
"However, all his companions were put in prisons and could not act." Until now, even "Fugen \" may have been full of tears because he cannot perform destructive activities. I don't know what the caught people are doing, but thanks to your efforts, I can return to my original life. How about, isn't it a big deal? "
"Broken people" were captured, "Mogonomine" was destroyed, and all the data on the base were deleted and became useless. Although all the evils of \ "mnemosyne \" and \ "Broken Man \" should be impossible, my anxiety is still hovering in my heart. As if he felt that things had not ended, something was about to happen.
Just as I thought so, Asuna shouted to Alice, hearing her voice, I put my attention back to the world again.
\ "That, Teacher Alice. What happened to Shi Nai? \"
Yasna's words surprised me, and I turned my face to Alice. Alice's face became somber.
\ "Although the situation of Shi Nai is calm, it can be said to be the worst situation. \"
After that, I carried Shi Nai to the Black Iron Palace, put the "Fugue" into the prison with Alice, and then went straight to the church, and told Shi Nai who happened to Shi Nai's body.
Hearing this, Alice was quite surprised and decided to let Shi Nai enter the church, just next to Alice's own room. Moreover, if only I am alone, Poetry may feel uneasy, so I, Yi Yi, and Li Ran also said that it is necessary to approach Shi Nai, so I decided to live near Shi Nai's room.
Although he is doubtful, since he is a private doctor of Shi Nai, he has explained the seriousness of the situation, and we also want to stand next to Shi Nai, so it is okay.
However, from hospitalization to this day, Shi Nai has not woke up. I checked it before I came to Alice's room, but he didn't signs it, and now I have placed Yui and Lan in the room, but I haven't received the news of Shi Nai.
\ "Sure enough, even I couldn't see the" escape "updating pistols to the world.
"Yesterday, it was probably the worst day I left in this world." At that time, Shi Nai's painful image and voice remained in my mind. Even if I tried to remember a little It emerged.
"Shi Nai's left and right legs were in a state of lack of parts. Is it" escape \ "?"
\ "Yeah. At that time," The fugitive took out his pistol and fired against the unsatisfactory poem, cut her left hand and right leg into pieces. \ "
"Why, why do you do this!?"
Alice turned her face to Asuna. Now that he has reached this step, he must be thinking, it is necessary to tell Shuna's past to tell Assina.
"The reason why this happened was because of her past.
"Well"
Alice stared at Asuna.
\ "What I asked is, can you swear, after hearing this sentence, you will not be disappointed with Shi Nai. This may change your inner poems." \ "
Asuna lowered her head and turned her head facing Alice.
\ "I swear. No matter what Shi Nai's past, I decided to be a friend of Shi Nai. So please, Teacher Alice. \"
After staring at Asuna's eyes, Alice sighed softly and nodded.
"It's okay."
For the first time, Alice talked about Shi Nai's past to people other than Lilan.
During that time, Asuna's eyes had never left Alice, but as Alice's story was approaching the end, her face gradually became a sad expression, and she was about to cry at any time.
"That's the kind of thing"
\ "You see, for poetry, there is nothing more terrible than a pistol. Recently, when he saw a pistol, he became calm, so I thought he was finally on the verge of thorough treatment, but this is the fact.
The "escape" holding a pistol may look like a robber who has become a demon and resurrected. The symptoms of Pan Renjun's panic are probably caused by this. Even as a doctor, I don't know what happened to her in her heart. "
Listening to her, I couldn't help worrying about the poem who slept in the next room. I don't know what the mental state has changed after so many panic? It is hard to imagine that at least before the day before yesterday, it was the same as poetry.
"At the same time, Alice called me."
\ "But Kirito. As far as I listen to you, Shi Nai said that after being panicked, she was bitten by Li Lan and returned to peace to reach the current state. Is it true? \" "" "" "" "" "
"Uh, ah, yes.
\ "I thought that Li Lan would only bite the player's item when the player was repeatedly dewraded because Shi Nai looked like a parasite attached? No, even so \" "" "" "" "" "
