We also see a surprising side of Huang. It turns out that although he is Xiaoqi's servant, he cares about Xiaoqi very much. Everyone was once again stunned by the sight before them, but Alice beside Kirito finally sighed deeply, and Sinon also showed an expression of relief.
\"I see. The Emperor must be able to do something like that. Moreover, I think he can think about something directly.\"
"Now that the matter has been resolved, people watching don't seem to understand why."
"Yeah, anyway, with this"
Just when Kirito was about to speak, these words appeared in his mind. This is what Xiaoqi said when she was crying just now. Seven may have come out because he was upset, but Seven said, "I get it." In fact, someone came up with a concept that moved someone as capable as Seven, and Seven executed it.
Kirito immediately guessed what the content was and who presented it, and turned to Number Seven. I'm sure if I missed this opportunity I wouldn't be able to confirm its contents.
If you want to hear it, listen now or never. " He muttered in his heart, and then walked towards No. 7. At this time, No. 7, who was crying on the emperor's chest, also regained his composure and left the emperor's body.
Then, after sobbing a few times, he turned his entire body towards Lilan, and Kirito stopped.
"Lilan, thank you for helping me."
"Okay, I'm sorry. I started yelling without thinking about my own safety."
"That's not true. If you weren't angry, I guess I would be. But why are you saying these things to me and doing these things to me?"
"!"
The moment finally arrived. Seven doesn't know the truth about Seven/Nanello Arshapin, but Lilan does. In order to talk about this matter, Lilan followed them all the way and fought with Seven.
There was something warm in Lelan's chest for a long time, and she had to tell Seven. Seeing the sign that the mission of conveying this message was about to be realized, Kirito stopped completely. However, Lilan seemed to have adapted to the atmosphere here, and she fell silent, closed her mouth, and remained motionless.
The footage from this place is all broadcast to Shamrock and cluster members, making it a kind of live streaming site. What Lilan will say next is important information that will change Seven's entire outlook on life, leaving Shamrock and the rest of the cluster to sit back and catch up on the news. I don’t know if it was because she was in such a place that Lilan was so nervous that she couldn’t speak.
However, if I don't tell you now, I don't know when I will see Xiao Qi again. What if he missed this moment - the moment when Kirito was going to find Lilan before coming to a conclusion. Lilan put her hands on her chest and made a gesture as if she was trying to control her breathing. Then, as if she had made up her mind, she met Seven's eyes.
"You know, seven. Well, seven colors. If I told you this, you probably wouldn't believe me, but me and seven. No, seven colors are mine."
"You know, seven. Well, seven colors. If I told you this, you probably wouldn't believe me, but me and seven. No, seven colors are mine."
Just when the next words were about to be spoken.
Suddenly, the place sank into the water. No, it didn't have the same effect as water at all, but it felt like pitch-black water, thicker than mud, enveloping everyone present.
\"Wha, what!?\"
"What the hell is this!?"
The incident happened so suddenly that everyone present screamed and screamed in confusion, but the sound was distorted, as if coming from the depths of the water. Although I can still breathe, the air feels extremely heavy. If I try to move my body even a little, the heavy air clings to me as if not letting me move, so I can't move.
Kirito was even more unable to move than when he was paralyzed, and fell face down on the spot. Even if I tried to struggle, the heavy air enveloped me as if it had a will, and I still couldn't move.
I could barely turn my head, but everyone in the room was already lying on the ground, and the space originally shrouded in darkness became even darker. It was as if it was on the verge of being swallowed by a black hole, swallowing everything up and shattering it without a trace.
"What, what, what..."
When Kirito felt the weight of his body, he realized its true identity. We were not thrown into the mud or suddenly relocated. This is magic. Gravity manipulation magic with power beyond the highest level they can use - presumably dark attribute - is attacking them. Only imps who specialize in dark attribute magic attacks can use such magic.
However, even brats like Yuuki and Alice should not be able to use such a thing, and even these two people were knocked to the ground by this magic. Who could have unleashed so much magic if not these two? As I was trying to figure out the source, I heard a voice.
\"Dr. Seven Colors\" Do you think I didn't look at you? \"
The sound was not in my ears, but directly in my head. His voice has a unique tenacity that is reminiscent of a man in his forties, seemingly old but not yet old. When Kirito turned his head and tried to find the source of the sound, Kirito was shocked. This sound was something he had never heard before. It was not Kayaba Akihiko's, Heathcliff's, or Sugou Nobuyuki's.
Among those who were crushed to the ground by the powerful gravity falling from the sky, or pressed to the ground by the powerful air, only one person stood quietly.
She covers her face with a mask and wears an outfit similar to a miko's costume, a characteristic long-sleeved kimono in white and green tones, and boots shaped like bird's feet. It is a mixture of gold, silver and jade.
No. 7's "familiar" Harpia, a monster that looks very similar to humans and goblins, suddenly appeared next to No. 7 when he was facing down due to gravity.
\"Ha-hapia!?\"
Seven was knocked to the ground by the gravity wave that knocked him down. He looked at his "acquaintance" as if he couldn't believe what was happening in front of him. Xiaoqi's "acquaintance" sighed with a "voice" and opened his arms.
"I didn't expect the system to be hijacked so easily." Although they were using replica servers from the past, the management system was extremely sloppy. I appreciate their attempt to implement such powerful magic, but certainly the stewards of this world don't deserve to be stewards.
"What is this [sound]!?"
Number Seven's "familiar" seems to be acting of its own will. Xiao Qi, who was supposed to be the animal trainer, just looked around in confusion. Huang and Lilan said with puzzled faces.
\"Seven, what is this!?\"
\"What is this, Harpiya, what are you doing!?\"
The two asked, but Xiaoqi didn't answer. Since then, unexpected things have happened many times, but now even Xiaoqi himself is speechless. ——Kirito subconsciously realized that what was happening now was something that even No. 7 had not expected. At the same time, the 'voice' that had been echoing in his mind for a while came from Hapia.
Looking down at everyone, including Kirito, with expressions of surprise, confusion, and distress on their faces, Harpia walked up to Tamer Seven and squatted down next to him.
"Dr. Seven Colors, I should tell you this. You can use the concepts presented any way you like, and you can add any changes you like. However, I declare that this is my original work and I will never fail\"
"!?"
"How do you know?" As soon as Hapuya told them, Xiaoqi and Huang looked like they were saying this. Because of the mask, I couldn't see his expression, but Hapia's sarcastic voice came to my mind, probably because he was grinning with an expectant expression on his face.
\"What the heck didn't you know? Every time you log in and continue your Cloud Brain project, I will receive a copy of that data.
"What..."
\"And I found out about this \"Cloud Brain\" project. You are not fit to continue with the \"Cloud Brain\" project. Taking advantage of the ignorant masses who can only be moved by emotion is admirable, but nothing more.
Seven did not respond to Harpia's voice. I was completely taken aback and didn't know what to answer or what to ask. Everyone around them said the same thing, but among them, Lilan raised her voice.
"What are you talking about!?"
Happia looked at her sister lying next to No. 7 and quickly stood up. He then raised his palms to chest height, spread them out in frustration, and made a "sound."
"Wow, you know me so well in that world and pursue me, but when you come to me like this, don't you understand? Well, since I didn't show you my appearance or my Sound, I think that's a given.
\"!?\"
Everyone, including Kirito, was rendered speechless by the 'voice' that sounded in their heads. I came to that world, and from then on, there was only one existence I pursued. Happya says it is in front of her now.
"I didn't expect you. I didn't expect you."
"Well, isn't now the time to worry about these things?" Time is money.
Harpia interrupted Kirito and turned to No. 7 again. Then, as before, I crouched down and placed my hand on the number seven.
\"Dr. Seven Colors\" Your brain is unique. It would be a shame if it were left in the hands of the ignorant masses. From now on, I will manage your brain.
""
The next moment, Xiao Qi's body shook violently as if he was electrocuted. Xiao Qi made a sound from deep in his throat and fell to the ground, unable to move. Lilan and Huang both screamed when they witnessed all this.
"What, seven colors!!"
"seven!!"
The two immediately tried to move, but the gravity that hit them became stronger and their movement was further restricted. When Lilan and Huang were pushed to the ground, Hapua lifted No. 7's motionless body and tucked it under his arm. Harpiya did not stop there, he continued walking with Xiao Qi under his arm, and finally stopped in front of a person.
A girl with silver-white hair, big ears, and a tail like a wild cat was pinned to the ground like the others, unable to move. That was Sinon, Kirito's friend, Kirito's lover, and Alice's former patient.
Kirito shouted immediately after witnessing Harpia's unexpected behavior.
\"Shino!!\"
Shino raised his head and looked at Happya with a confused look on his face, probably because he was surprised that he was in front of him, and Alice, who was lying nearby, also turned pale.
\"!?\"
\"What Shino!?\"
'A lot of time has passed since then. I'm curious how much you've changed during this time. And just like Dr. Nanello, I will regret being so close to the people here I will have you under my control.
Happia was about to reach out to touch Shino's entrance, but her hand stopped halfway. Harpia's hand as white as porcelain was held by a hand with tough skin color.
If you look at the bottom of it, you'll see a dark-haired woman wearing a white coat. Alice becomes Shino's personal doctor to treat her PTSD.
"Stop. What are you trying to do to my patient?"
Her tone was very feminine, different from the usual Alice. This proved that Alice Serizawa's humanity was emerging within Alice, but Harpia didn't care, shook off Alice's hand, and stepped on her back with his bird's feet.
Kirito, Shino, and Spiegel all screamed when they saw their mentor being attacked by an enemy for the first time.
"Alice!!"
"'Mr. Alice!!'"
Stomping his feet, he looked down at the painful Alice and made a sound like his lungs were being compressed. After a few seconds, Hapia seemed to realize something, moved his head and made a "sound". '.
\"Well, you and I understand. I didn't expect to meet you here again.
"Ah You"
"In general, the avatar you use looks like you at first glance, both then and now." This is despite you being one of the more picky people in your company about security.
""
"You. No I don't understand why you are so obsessed with this girl. Well, that's the answer you can find by questioning this girl directly into her head.
Harpia took his foot off Alice's back and kicked her in the side. Because Alice was in the gravitational field, she was not blown away at all. She immediately fell to the ground and stopped without rolling. After Harpiya saw the end, he turned around and squatted down towards the girl on the ground.
\"Stop it, Shino, Shino!!\"
\"Shino!!\"
"Mother!!"
Kirito, Lilan, and Yui shouted in turn, and Shino extended a helping hand to Kirito with fear on his face. Just when Kirito felt like he was about to be crushed by gravity, his mind flashed back to the scene when he attacked the "Fugitives" base in SAo.
Even then we couldn't move, but I could only watch helplessly as Shino was attacked by the 'Fugitives'. No matter how Shino asked for help, she couldn't go and could only watch helplessly.
SAo's heinous things are happening right in front of my eyes. An unbearable rage welled up in me, my chest burned, my eyes nearly turned bright red, but I couldn't move or even struggle any more than I did then.
Happya looked sideways at Kirito and put her hand on Shino's head.
"Ahh Kiri"
\"Shino Shino!!\"
Like No. 7, Shino twitched and fell to the ground. As soon as Happya noticed that Sinon's movements had become silent, she lifted Sinon's body with her free hand, tucked it under her arm and stood up.
\"Happia no you!!\"
\"-Do you want this girl back? Then you should come to me. You should continue to resist, just like you once resisted in that world. I will give you the means to do so.
Following Harpia's whisper, a small white ball of light landed on Kirito's hand. Finally, the ball of light exploded, and a card emerged from it. Before they even realized its existence, Harpiya and the two girls' bodies began to be enveloped in a jade-colored light.
\"Whether you come to see me or not is your business. However, if you have even the slightest desire to know more about me, I suggest you come. Farewell"
Before the surrounding things could react to the 'sound', Hapia enveloped the two girls and her whole body in light, turning them into a huge ball of light and emerging from the water. It disappeared into the sky, plunging space into deeper darkness.
"Seven colors seven colors------------!!!"
"Shino————————!!!"
The screams of the little girl's sister who was taken away and the boy who loved another girl filled the space as it was freed from the sludge of gravity. "damn it!"
When I returned to the Kuzu Line from the deepest part of the "Dark World" that was repeatedly affected by strange events, I knelt on the ground, screaming and banging my hands on the floor. As usual, there were a lot of players talking - there seemed to be some kind of commotion going on right now - my voice echoed in the square, but the players around me seemed to be busy with their own things and didn't care about anything.
After the final battle with Seven, just when I thought I was going to stop Seven's plan and learn the truth from Lilan, Hapia suddenly appeared. After saying a few words to me, Seven disappeared with Shino.
This wasn't the first time that something took away Shino. We had already met once during SAo, and since then, I decided that I would not allow such a thing to happen. I would never let Shino be taken away, and I would work hard to protect her. I'm protecting it.
Even though I was supposed to, I couldn't protect her at that critical moment, I couldn't grab her outstretched hand and pull her toward me. She was taken to a place she didn't know where to go.
\"Kirito, Kirito, calm down!\"
\"Shinon, Shino, Shino, Shino!!\"
Regret, anger, frustration, mixed emotions surged into my heart, and the red sparks in front of me never dissipated. Usually he calms down quickly, but the torrent of emotions in his heart never stops. I felt as if I could hear the voices of my friends in my ears, but these voices could not cover the torrent in my heart. Driven by these emotions, I kept hitting the ground hard.
\"Kirito!!\"
However, a few seconds later, I felt a painless electric current and flashes of light course through me from head to toe, and the emotions and impulses filling my heart suddenly stopped. The turbulent emotions receded like a tide, and eventually my heart returned to the state it was in before the emotion arose. At this moment, I finally found something warm falling on my head.
\"Kirito\"
"!"
As if invited by the voice, I turned my head and saw the appearance of a girl with long blond hair and red eyes. Her ears were wrapped in platinum fur growing from the top of her head. Her right hand gently touched the back of my neck. I called out the name of the girl who was my partner and family, who had been in werewolf form a moment ago, but who had changed into werewolf form when she returned to the city.
"Lilan"
\"The shape was forced again, but I was able to use the power. Have you calmed down?\"
When I regained my composure, coolness, and composure, I responded softly, "Ah."
Relan has the ability to send signals directly to the devices people use to dive into VR worlds, treating mental illnesses such as delirium and panic symptoms. From Lilan's words, my feelings, and the sudden cessation of my uncontrollable emotions, I realized that Lilan had used his ability.
As if she had been waiting for this moment, my sister Leafa slowly walked to me and bent down to call me. His face looked extremely worried. No, not just Leafa, all the friends present looked at me with the same expression.
"elder brother"
\"I'm sorry, Sue. I let you see something you shouldn't have seen.\"
After standing up together with Leafa, I turned to everyone. Now is not the time to get frustrated, but to figure out what is going on. However, I am the one who lost her cool as Yuiichi. I apologized for that and hung my head.
"I'm sorry, everyone. I'm really sorry this happened to me alone."
"You don't have to apologize like that. I totally understand how you feel. Don't let that discourage you."
It was Alice who finished her sentence and came towards me. Although Alice must have felt the same way I did when her precious patient was taken away in front of her, she remained calm.
The situation seemed so bizarre that I couldn't help but stare, but then I noticed that his normally relaxed hands were now clenched into tight fists.
"!"
No, that's not right. Alice probably felt the same way I did and wanted to express it, but she knew now wasn't the time to do so, so she kept it to herself. So I try not to cause unnecessary confusion to everyone.
However, I was the only one who made a fuss and caused unnecessary confusion to everyone. The realization made me feel even more sorry, but it was soothed by Diabell coming to me with Alice and putting a hand on my shoulder. Let him put his hands on me.
"I understand that you are confused because it happened so suddenly, but let's calm down for now, we need to solve this problem now."
\"However, the thing was so sudden that I couldn't understand it. What happened to Hapia? So, where were No. 7 and Shino taken?\"
Agil asked after Diaberu received the call. At the same time, I also sorted out what happened before in my mind. After stopping Seven, Hapua suddenly acted independently, using gravity magic that we couldn't use, restricting our movements. Unable to move, No. 7 and Shino were taken away and disappeared somewhere.
This is an extremely unusual situation and won't happen if you play ALo normally. Thinking of this, everyone was confused, but maybe it was because Lilan used her ability, but my heart calmed down. I can't help but feel like I even know what's going on.
However, as much as I wanted this to happen, it was the last thing I wanted to happen. I don't want it to come true, but it's something I want to happen and everyone seems to have the same idea.
Should I tell everyone here? While I was hesitating, Asuna walked towards me with a confused look on her face.
\"Kirito-kun Harpia said we are pursuing that world, right?\"
To this day, even though a little bit has passed, I still remember every word that Harpiya said. At the time, Harpia said she encountered the being we were looking for and what that world was like. What he said was incomprehensible to ordinary people, but we could understand it, and I could actually understand everything he meant.
"Oh, that's what he said."
"If you were to say what we're after then you'd say that world."
\"Impossible, Harpiya is——!\"
I nodded listening to Yuuki and Straya’s voices. That world is the world created by Kayaba Akihiko, and it is said to be the demon game in "Sword Art Online". We find that among them there is only one being that we seek.
"Han, Nibal."
As soon as the name came out, everyone present exclaimed.
The cyberterrorist who appeared in SAo, the person who manipulated Alberich/Sugou Nobuyuki, the "fugitive" and his producer. He is the man who put the country's key institutions - mainly business, police and politics - under threat from hit-and-runs. Not only that, he also took Vasak Casalspoo, the leader of Ruffin Coffin, the murder guild in SAo, as his subordinate and even controlled him.
Hannibal is indeed the culprit of everything that happens in SAo and the enemy that must be stopped.
However, this is all that is known; first, that the name was accidentally heard by Alberich on the verge of death, and nothing else is known. Hannibal is truly a nameless nobody.
Harpia left the hands of her so-called master Seven and set out on her own, speaking in a voice no one had ever heard before, talking about Hannibal in detail as if it were her own business.
There can only be one answer from this. Just as I was about to speak, Lisbeth spoke.
"You say he's Hannibal!? Hannibal, the man who created 'The Fugitive' and wreaked havoc on us players!?"
"That's all I can think of."
My voice was so low that even I was surprised, and everyone let out another cry of surprise. Although I don't want to believe it myself, I can only believe that the person who was inside Harpia at that time was Hannibal, the culprit of the incident we have been hunting for. We finally managed to see Hannibal, who started attacking us. Cam said, as if that was hard to understand.
\"So the enemies Kirito and the others encountered in SAo have come to find us.\"
"Have Hannibal's bastards finally attacked us!? Have we finally reached Hannibal!?"
\"I see. And he is the one who takes care of Shino and No. 7\"
Just as I was about to speak, a man came over to us. A tall man with short light blue hair, wearing a combat uniform with white and blue as the main colors. The emperor is the subordinate and guardian of No. 7\/Qise, and has always protected No. 7.
"How do you know this name? Only Xiao Qi and I should know it."
"What? Emperor, do you know Hannibal!?"
The next moment he exclaimed, a young girl came to the emperor. Wearing black and white clothes and having long red hair with a hint of purple at the end, she is Lilan, an SAo survivor like us and Seven's sister.
\"Emperor, what does this mean!? Please explain in detail!\"
\"R. Lilan!?\"
We couldn't help but be stunned by the retreating look of the palace, exuding the aura of a martial arts master, and we could see at a glance that he didn't move at all.
Lilan, on the other hand, always exuded a fluffy aura that was mixed with ease and relaxation, but now Lilan did not have any such trace, and a fierce sword-like look appeared on her face. This proves that her sister side has come out as she is furious that her precious sister was taken away from her.
When Lilan was forced to do this, the emperor moved all of us, including Lilan, to the shadows where the player was and told us everything there.
This story happened about half a year ago, when Seven had not officially started idol activities and the "Cloud Brain" project had not yet begun.
Seven\/Nanello has since been working hard on a plan to develop a new technology that would contribute to the future of humanity, but he was unable to come up with a concept for the plan and was unable to move forward. It is said that there is no such thing.
Of course, Nanello didn't realize this, and even though he tinkered with the concept over and over, he was still at a loss. Apparently there was something wrong internally that he couldn't solve, so he was at an impasse.
Concerned, Huang and other researchers came up with various ideas to aid Dr. Nanello's research and technology development plans, but none worked. No.
The concept of this plan is superior to any technology developed or invented to date and will open up the future of humanity. I've desperately tried to develop it myself but nothing seems to work. When Qise and Huang continued to move forward, unable to move forward or retreat, someone sent a message.
That person was only sending audio, not making a video call like Nanello did. I just told them that my name is Hannibal, I am in the same industry as Dr. Nanairo and Sumeragi, and I want to cooperate with you.
The call came from a very suspicious person. He did not reveal his real name, nationality or face, and the name he gave was like a handle. It was obviously a prank call, but Nanello didn't hang up suddenly.
The phone line Nanello used was not something the general public could use, it was a secret line that only scientists like Nanello could know, it was not something ordinary people could prank, and it was not a scam or scam. one person. Criminals looking for information cannot communicate or eavesdrop.
Nanello became interested in the man who played the prank on the phone line and thought he might be able to learn something from him, so he decided to take on the man. Sumeragi tries to stop Shichiro, but he promises not to tell him any information proprietary to their lab and will only listen to what he has to say.
Perhaps because of this, Huang decided to listen to the secret call from Hannibal.
What Hannibal told me, however, was surprising.
By creating an idol and displaying it, you can arouse the interest of the public and eventually lead them to believe in it. Record and convert the actions of the public towards the idol and collect them in one place. The idea of creating a large object plan is to create.
Hannibal is said to have talked about the concept of the program, which came to be known as "Cloud Brain." The emperor's story is over at this point, but I can only be surprised that after just ten seconds I can ask the emperor any questions.
"Cloud Brain is Hannibal's plan!?"
"That's right, the concept for our ongoing 'Cloud Brain' project was originally proposed to us by an unknown person named Hannibal."
Also, Hannibal let them decide whether to use the concept for the plan, but if he intended to implement the concept, he would never say where the concept came from and would always say it was his original work. What was he asked? I told him never to fail.
Qise and Huang were both confused by this, but it seemed that the plan was worth a look. If you think about it calmly, the plan concept proposed by Hannibal seems extremely reasonable, and it is not even illegal.
And the method of reproducing the process can be done by themselves if they want to, and it seems that they can use it to develop new technologies.
Nanello received a concept from an unexpected source, and despite Hannibal's skepticism, he thanked Hannibal and replied that he would give the concept a try. As soon as he finished his long phone call with Hannibal, he interpreted the concepts Hannibal had presented to him and began formulating plans and research.
Huang ended his speech, and what was born was "Cloud Brain".
"I can't believe this happened"
The contact between scientists and Hannibal, the person who proposed the basic concept of "cloud brain" was Hannibal. Although I've been in all kinds of situations and heard all kinds of stories, this one surprised me. I couldn't do anything to show that it didn't exist, and everyone was either shocked speechless or extremely confused.
One of them, Klein, a member of the No. 7 star cluster, said to the emperor without concealing his doubts.
"What's going on? So the Clover and the Seven Stars are also based on concepts proposed by Hannibal?"
\"That's not the case. However, the concept proposed by Hannibal does not contain such content, so it can be said that this aspect is original to No. 7.\"
"Then what? Did Nanello always follow Hannibal's ideas? Are you saying that the reason why that girl was so unscrupulous and even destroyed herself was because of Hannibal!?"
Xiao Qi has been acting recklessly for a long time, and even almost collapsed because of this ALo. Despite this, he continued his research non-stop in response to the needs of adults who had high hopes for him. The man who created this opportunity is Hannibal, the man responsible for "The Fugitive" and the man we are hunting.
A strong look of anger appeared on Lilan's face, probably because she could not forgive him. However, the emperor answered without hesitation as before.
"No, I lost touch with Hannibal after that. I thought it would be over as soon as the concept came up, but I was so naive. He was watching us the whole time. I was watching the progress of her plan and that girl Been using Nanello for a long time.”
I didn't expect so much attention and was fascinated. Not only that, everything they did was going according to the plan of a man named Hannibal - when the emperor faced the cruel facts, he gritted his teeth, as if regretting his naivety.
However, since I heard about Nanello's/Seven's plans, I've come to realize there are some similarities between what Seven is doing and what Hannibal is doing. ta. In it, he speculates, without telling anyone, that maybe Seven is connected to Hannibal, and even hopes that's not true.
However, in reality, I chose the worst-case scenario I imagined rather than my wishes. Seven does have a connection to Hannibal, and Cloud Brain was created based on the concept Hannibal came up with.
This incident, Xiao Qi's recklessness, and the crowded situation of Dr. Nanello in the real world were all planned by Hannibal. Asuna couldn't believe it and opened her mouth.
"I didn't expect that even Xiao Qi was asked to dance on Hannibal's palm."
"How big is Hannibal before he would reach out to a place like this? This is already at the level of a cult or secret society that rules the world behind the scenes."
Hearing Filia's words, Lilan reacted involuntarily, as if she had crushed a bitter insect. Leland has previously said that even if he made Hannibal public, it would only be viewed as such a crazy conspiracy theory, and that he probably only thought it was as big as Japan.
However, Hannibal's sphere of influence has become equivalent to what appears in conspiracy theories, and it's revealed that even Seven and Clover have fallen into Hannibal's hands. I'm sure Lelan, like me, feels like the worst-case scenario he imagined has come true.
"So Hannibal directly attacked us, including Xiao Qi?"
"I think so. I'm sure Hannibal didn't expect people like us to get close to him. That's why Hannibal targeted us"
While Silica and Leafa were muttering, a blue-haired young man whose contact with Hannibal was different from ours walked up to me.
"Kirito, how much do you know about Hannibal? Who is Hannibal?"
"I see. Seven, you don't know what Hannibal is. We only know the bare minimum"
Having said that, I told the emperor everything I knew about Hannibal, including my guess about Harpia's true identity. Although the story is made up of extremely fragmented information, it still seems to be able to show us what kind of person Hannibal is, and when the story ends, there is a surprised expression on Huang's face.
"The creator of 'Destroyer' and 'Executor'!? So he also launched an attack on that SAo!?"
"Yes, but that's all we know. We learned the name by pure coincidence."
\"You mean we've been exposed to something like that? So, Harpia was Hannibal at the time so we finally met the man who came up with the concept and the source of Seven's recklessness?\"
The emperor's expression had always been as calm as water exuded by the unique magic of the Windy tribe, but at this time it revealed the completely opposite fiery power. Lilan is in a similar situation. She is angry not only because her sister was taken away, but also because she was used for so long. Huang may also feel the same way.
Moreover, his anger was even stronger because even his loyalty to Seven was being used.
"Holy crap, where is he now? Where did he take Xiao Qi!? Don't you all know!?"
Huang and I feel the same way. Not only does Hannibal finally show up, he takes Chinon with him. When I was in SAo, I just wanted to rush to Shino's side immediately, just like when Shino was taken away by the "Fugitive Man", but this was in a vast world called ALo.
Although he has flown to various places in this world so far, this world is so vast and becomes even wider with the introduction of places like Swartyalfheim, so he has no idea that Hannibal is going to Where to go.
I want to go quickly, but I don't know where to go. Just when I was bitter, frustrated, and angry, I suddenly opened a window in front of me, and I was surprised that I was almost screaming. And this is not just my own business, it happens to everyone's eyes.
"[The God of Dark] The release of the suppressor \/emergency rescue task has begun. Players who defeat the" God of Darkness "are trapped in the deepest part of the new dungeon! Work together to enter the dungeon and rescue them !!"
It is the content written on an elusive window. When everyone was surprised to see the content in the sudden appearance of the window, we moved away from the shadow of the building and returned to the square.
At that time, many players were talking about what they wrote in the window we saw, such as the final boss was defeated, or what was the task of rescue the final boss. Knowing that they are talking.
Obviously, the window used in this window and the management when performing emergency tasks is the same window, and this task seems to be sent directly to all players by management, and other players suddenly seem to be confused about emergency tasks.
However, this task appeared after No. 7 and Shi Nai were taken away by Hannibal, so it felt too suspicious, or it felt so strange. The execution of this task may not be a coincidence. Isn't this part of the Hannibal strategy?
"keyboard!!"
Just when I was thinking about this problem alone among everyone, I heard a voice from behind the square. As soon as I turned around, I saw the three figures opposite the square walked towards me, attracting the attention of players of all ethnic groups.
A woman with a tall height, big breasts, long dark green hair, wrapped in a bright green Japanese clothing, and a curly hair with yellow hair than golden, the skin is tan A woman with clothes. swimsuit. A beautiful girl with unique cat ear and tail, wearing swimsuit.
Then, on the head of his pale yellow hair, he grew the beast ears that cats and dogs did not have. The slightly exposed combat clothes were covered with a cloak outside, and the cheeks had patterns similar to a beard. A mouse, all three girls wearing it.
They are the leaders of the elves who are called Sisters, who are called Sisters, who are said to be his tea friend Alice, and Algo, who continues to be active as a line person even after moving to ALO. .
Because the support rate of the two lords was very popular, it couldn't help but cause a commotion. Some people said, "Isn't it classmate?" "That's really amazing. "The sound began to rise, but the three ignored nothing and came towards us and stopped.
"Keyboy, have you won the final boss? Suddenly perform emergency tasks."
"Ah, just in case. But this is not the point. Actually, now"
\ "Oh, Shi Nai sauce hasn't come, she hasn't logged in today." \ "
Lifa approached Elisa. As soon as Elisa arrived, he noticed that we were a little strange and tried to explain to her, but before she started, Kam interrupted her and suggested that they go to a coffee shop.
Indeed, my next words will cause the small chaos of other players, and it is not possible that no one will listen to the words of the two lords, because players who play games may happen unnecessary. game.
When I thought about it, I shouted to the three of them like Kam, and then we went to the coffee shop operated by Egil together. After there was no player in it, we went in, and then I arrived. Wake up the three of us with Lifa. We talked about something.
After hearing the explanation of a good friend Li Fa, the three of them screamed in surprise. As soon as the conversation ended, Ye Ye spoke.
\ "Poetry and the No. 7 were taken away!? What does this mean? \"
"What do you mean, the player was taken away by the player? But what for?"
"We don't know the specific situation, it seems that this task seems to be issued after that incident."
\ "It seems very reasonable, it is set in advance, so the event that defeats Swat Yaheham's final BOSS will be taken away, and it will happen to save other players to save him. \" ".
When I heard the murmur, I turned to Algo. Algo may understand this situation when the tasks that can obtain rare items, how to conquer tasks, and get items may understand this situation. However, Algo looked back at me with confusion.
"Maybe you think you can know something, but this is not the case."
"Don't you even know?"
\ "I don't know. First of all, we don't even know how to prepare Swatelff Ham's big mission. Didn't Xiye's sister say that? \"
Indeed, as Ye Ye said, if the final boss "Dark God" who defeated the big task in Swat Yahmheim would trigger an event task, someone was taken away, and then another player was before Go to rescue. If this is true, it is not surprising.
However, the role of being taken away was originally played by NPC. It is unheard of forced players to play this role, let alone all the potentials, and the management has realized the situation that only one person encountered. think.
Since this unusual task has begun, it can be confirmed that what Shi Nai and No. 7 have happened. Presumably, Haiwu, who knew this, also said.
\ "No, lady. Miss No. 7 and Shi Nai were captured by terrorists. \"
"Terrorists!? What are you talking about, Kam? Do you mean that terrorists launch cyber terrorism on ALO?"
Kam nodded, the two lords and Algo glanced at each other incredible, but Yui immediately started talking to everyone.
According to the survey of Jiyi, the task currently distributed is the form of me and Ye Ye's expectation. When you defeat the final boss dark god of the big mission and rescue the taken NPC of the taken away, it will appear. It is said that players will go to a new dungeon and defeat a RAID BOSS. This BOSS can also be called a secret boss.
Yiyi ended the conversation, saying that Hapa took Shima and the 7th to the deepest part of the newly implemented dungeon.
\ "So, is Shi Nai and the 7th of the new maze? \"
"This is no doubt. Hapa has now captured his mother and Mr. Qi, waiting for us in the deepest part of the new dungeon."
I thought everything was over.
I don’t know what the new dungeon that has been implemented will look like, but any players who have heard of this task will jump in, and those who have completed the big tasks and their guild members have the authority to do All clover you lead should be able to go there.
Moreover, all people of the clover must see the lens at the time through the feather headdress, so they should be able to figure out what happened on the 7th. They must be confused about such a thing, but if they know that Xiaoqi was taken away, they would definitely arrive at the scene as soon as possible.
If we work together with Sanya, we can go to the new dungeon, rescue Shi Nai and Xiaoqi, and use the army to crush Hannibal.
After summing up the thoughts in my head, I shouted to the elite young people of the clover.
"How is the emperor and the clover now? I believe that the clover and Kraruz have watched the video at the time."
The emperor shook his head, showing a bitter expression on his face.
\ "No, the communication was cut off after Hipia appeared. Neither the clover and the cluster did not know what happened on the No. 7.
"What? So many things happened, they didn't know anything!"
Hearing Diabel's problem, the emperor seemed even more distressed. Think about it. At that time, the three -leaf grass and the seven -seven passengers suddenly faced the amazing truth about Xiaoqi, while the emperor and Claine talked one -sided about the matter, which made them fall into a state of not knowing what happened. .
Nowadays, the actions of clover and seven -day passengers may have paralyzed due to this series of incidents, and they are no longer in a state where they can perform emergency tasks. Lan also said this.
\ "And, it is impossible to go to No. 7 and Shi Nai. Even if ordinary players go to the new maze, the person who can save can only be a person set in the task. A NPC that looks like NPC. \ \ \. "The princess of the kingdom. Isn't it, Yui? "
"Yes. Maybe Hipia I think Hannibal has created a route that allows him to go to the new underground city without accepting any task. However, there is no emergency task to go to the new underground city. Assuming Ordinary players cannot go to Hannibal because they must get the same thing. "
"Can't we get there in a normal way? But this does not mean that we can't reach there!"
I put my hand on my chin as if I responded to Assina's surprise.
These urgent implementation of dungeons are often set to be blocked by the system barrier even if you try to enter normally. There is no way to enter except for accepting tasks. If this is the same this time, the way to Yiyi is to accept the task and break through the enchantment, but this can only be carried out according to the task and cannot help Shi Naihe No. 7.
There may be a way to report this incident to management. However, there is no abnormality in ALO itself, and there are no reports on it to be cracked or hacked by hackers at present. Moreover, the situation is so serious, and we only have about ten people. I believe that management will think that this is just a prank and will not take any action.
Do Hannibal assume this and do similar things? ——The I am talking about Hannibal. He is meticulous in computing, preparation, and formulating plans. I believe he can easily do such a thing.
We must fully recognize the existence that hinders our plans and their positions, think about how to cope, and surpass our thoughts and actions as a player. No matter how hard we work, we can follow us and try it. He took them to a place where they could not reach.
"!!"
Can you only keep your fingers in your mouth like this? Can I only watch this scene, grit my teeth? Isn't Hannibal laughing at him?
No, there must be anything. Is there any means to fight him? But what is it? What may cause this breakthrough? Just when I clenched my teeth, when I wanted to dizzy, there was a sound in my ears.
\"Hey, Kirito.\"
When I turned around, I saw a Sprigan boy with gray silver hair, orange eyes, and dark green combat suit. Spiegel is one of our friends and the patient who was taken away as Shi Nai, and he was calling me.
"What's the matter, Spirgel?"
"Didn't Hipia give you something just now? I looked at it and felt like I was about to be crushed. I was about to send things to Kirito. \"
The problem of the ash silver bow user surprised me. That's right, Hapia was handing it to me at the time. I have no consciousness because I am about to be crushed by gravity, but I am sure that something has been stuffed into my item storage room, which is equivalent to being transferred.
With memory, I opened a window and browsed the storage space, which was filled with countless items. A few seconds later, I found a name in the item, "Unknown Card", which gave people a sense of disobedience and subverted my worldview, and I immediately clicked it.
The effect of usually appears in front of me when using items. When I reached out to get it, a silver card that is not suitable for the Nordic mythical world appeared. At the same time, everyone looked at me curiously, among them, Lifa opened.
\ "Oni sauce, what is that? \"
\ "Hippia gave me at the time. Jie Yi, do you know what this is? \"
When I handed the card to the little fairy floating nearby, Yui widened my eyes, and then touched the card with a small hand. A light came across the card and arrived in Yui's hand.
"This is a pass card that evokes a system that can transport a certain number of people to a certain place. The destination is fixed at the deepest coordinates of the new maze \" larusnir \ "!"
\ "Therefore, as long as you use this, you can go to Shi Nai and No. 7. \"
As soon as Alice's words came out, everyone's voice was raised. What's more, Yui looked around and said in a clear voice.
"At the same time, the number of people who can transfer is that everyone who is present can go now."
Hearing this sentence, everyone held his breath. The road to Hannibal was not closed; in fact, he was ready. Moreover, out of politeness, he can let us all go there.
It is so obvious that I think it may be a trap, and it may actually be. However, this is how they can help Shi Nai and No. 7 Yui, and they cannot not go because they are afraid of becoming a trap.
Even if it is a trap, I can only go. Thinking of this, I was surprised to look at everyone who gathered here. Everyone's face is already full of heroic expressions. They have to go to the place where this silver card is transmitted and to defeat the demon king.
I will definitely have some concerns, but everyone understands that it is not time to worry about these things. I was inspired and shouted to everyone.
\ "Everyone, everyone gathered, let's go to the deepest part of the \" Aiu Snier \ ". He is waiting for Shi Nai and No. 7 to be captured there. Maybe this card itself is a trap, But we can't go anyway. I have arrived. "
\ "Of course. If Shi Nai and Xiaoqi were arrested, only if we can go, we can only go. Moreover, we finally saw the black hands behind the" Fugue \ "incident. \ "You can let go. No!"
\ "Yes, we finally found the behind -the -scenes of the incident. We all recapture Miss Shi Nai and Xiaoqi, who were captured, and knocked down the behind -the -scenes of the incident! \" "" "
Although Ji Ji and Tiabell said so tough, others still had an expression that wanted to say the same words, even the Ye Ye, Alice, Spiegel, Alice, Algo, Emperor's Those who were fighting were ready to be prepared. Facts the final battle.
There are only twenty people here, less than half of ALO's largest team. With so many people, you will face the real demon lord named Hannibal. It is said that his strength is unknown. It is behind the scenes of the "escape" incident. However, no one is afraid, in fact, they are trying to accept the challenge. It is stupid to ask such people any questions.
When I was the head of the blood deed Knights in SAO, my mood was as secure as seeing my reliable members who were about to compete for the BOSS battle, and I let them announce it.
"Okay, everyone, be ready now! Where we are going, I don't know what we are waiting for us, and we don't know what kind of enemies will encounter. We will make everything ready." Then we come back here. Let's come! "
With the "Oh!" The shout echoed in the cafe, everyone made up her mind to enter the city to find what they needed. I went to the city with Lilan, while talking with Lilan, to conquer the Dark World Tree, and purchased the recovery items consumed in the battle with Bai Shenlong. After getting the item, I went to Liz Betto Square, which is adjacent to the coffee shop, and asked the Liz Bate who had just returned to keep the weapon.
