291 I'll just say it, right? (Ask for a commuter pass)
———— "Diabel is a closed beta player".
This idea was only discovered by Rogo when Argo gave him information about Diabel.
At the time, Argo said so.
"Diabel was one of the first players to walk out of the town after SAO announced the gamification of death, and even his teammates were persuaded by him to muster up the courage to get out of the town, all the way to the maze area, becoming a strong team in the top player group, showing experience and skills are quite sophisticated, obviously leading a large team, but he boldly like a closed beta player, at the beginning of the practice area with high-level monsters and the villages and towns in front of him, Draining experience points at a very fast pace, he also completed many hidden quests and rare quests with a limited number of times. ”
This in itself is an anomaly.
If Diabel was just one of the first players to leave the town, then even if it wasn't the average player, there were people who sensed the need to become stronger in the world to survive at the beginning, and thus walked out of the town of Beginnings a month ago.
However, it is a little wrong to lead a team, but to be as bold as a closed beta player, and to go to the training area with high-level monsters and the villages and towns in front of him at the beginning, and also complete many hidden missions and rare missions with a limited number of times.
"No matter how bold it is, without the same knowledge and intelligence as the beta testers, players will not want to rush into the high-level monster area at the beginning, even if the technology is good, it is conceivable how high the mortality rate will be if this is done."
"If it's just you, it's okay to be reckless."
"However, a player who can lead a team, and have a way to convince these teammates to go out of town together, and has rare leadership skills, will never do that kind of stupid thing."
That's what Luo Zhen thought.
Not to mention, in such a situation, the other party can still take a step ahead of the beta tester and win a lot of hidden quests and rare quests, which is really abnormal.
Unless......
"You've been a beta tester from the beginning."
Luo Zhen ignored the shock of everyone present, and spoke out like this to Diabel, who was silent.
"You should have used a different character name from the closed beta period after the official operation, and the death game restored the appearance of reality, and compared with the closed beta period, they became completely different people."
With this, Diabel, like the rest of the closed beta players, hid his identity, and persuaded a group of players to team up with him and walk out of the starting town together, leading the team all the way with the knowledge of the closed beta period.
Because of this, Diabel dared to rush towards the training area with high-level monsters and the villages and towns in front of him at the beginning, and also completed many hidden missions and rare missions with a limited number of times.
Because of this, Diabel will know Luo Zhen, know Kirito, know the rumors of the two during the closed beta period, and after finding the room of the boss of the guard, he is worried that these two players will come to participate in the strategy battle and snatch the LA reward, so he will find the tooth king and entrust him to come forward to buy the weapons of the two.
"At yesterday's strategy meeting, this gentleman made fierce remarks against closed beta players on the spot, and you didn't stop him, so it should be because you have known each other for a long time, right?"
Luo Zhen said lightly at Diabel.
"As a reward for the commission, you are allowed to make that gentleman vent his anger at the closed beta players in a public setting like a strategy meeting."
In other words, for his own benefit, Diabel not only concealed the fact that he was a beta tester, but also lied to the Tooth King.
I'm afraid, the Tooth King doesn't know that Diabel is a closed beta player.
If the Tooth King knew that Diabel was a closed beta player, then with his hostility towards closed beta players, he would definitely not come forward on Diabel's behalf.
Diabel is supposed to be disguised as a "regular player representative who confronts the despicable closed beta player" in front of the Tooth King, and also tells the Tooth King that Luo Zhen and Kirito are the ones who want to snatch LA, so as to incite the Tooth King's hostility.
Therefore, the tooth king will help Diabel do things, and protect Diabel everywhere.
"Am I right? Mr. Diabel? ”
Luo Zhen looked at Diabel, his tone was still indifferent, and he spoke like this.
"If you want to deny it, then please tell everyone here how you know that Kirito is a closed beta player, and how do you know that Kirito and I are both good at taking LA, right?"
It is naturally impossible for such a question not to be heard by Diabel.
However, Diabel was just silent and had nothing to say at all.
"It's... Deceptive... Right...? ”
The Tooth King looked at Diabel in shock and disbelief.
"Diabel is a closed beta tester...?"
"Liar, huh...?"
"It's absolutely deceitful..."
Diabel's teammates, as well as the average player, faltered.
If Diabel had said no here, those players would have stepped up to him right away.
It's a pity that Diabel can't be denied.
Because, he can't explain at all, if he is not the person who sealed the test, then how to explain the above problem.
Thereupon......
“…… The rare items dropped from the Boss are the only high-performance items in this world, and once obtained, they can greatly increase their combat power. ”
Diabel finally spoke up.
It's just that it's a rather bitter voice.
"Now that SAO has become a death game, combat power is equivalent to the power of survival, in order to survive in this world in the future, and in order to stand in front of the team and players, even if you want to do whatever it takes, you want to get the rare items that fall from the boss of the defending floor."
Diabel uttered such words.
And that's the equivalent of admitting it.
Admitted what Luo Zhen said.
"Liar..."
"This..."
Diabel's teammates, as well as the average player, opened their eyes wide.
The Tooth King trembled all over and staggered to Diabel.
"Why... Why lie to me...! ”
The Tooth King roared in a hoarse voice.
"I trust you so much! I believe you are the one who can lead players against the Closed Beta and this game! ”
The Tooth King drew his weapon and slashed at Diabel impulsively.
"Stop!"
"Stop!"
"Do you want to be a criminal!?"
One by one, the players immediately stopped the Tooth King.
In the face of all this, the beta testers led by Luo Zhen stopped talking.
Only Kirito asked in a low voice.
"Is it really worth it?"
Is it worth it?
Diabel is a question that Diabel can't answer anymore.
"I betrayed everyone, not only the average player who trusted me, but also the closed beta players who used to play the game together, I'm sorry to everyone."
Now, that's all that's left to do.
"So I said that, right?"
Diabel looked at Luo Zhen with an illusory smile on his face.
"I'm not as good as you."
Compared with Luo Zhen, who stood up for the beta tester and justified the name of the beta tester, Diabel is also a beta tester, but he chose a path of concealment, deception and betrayal.
Now, this deceiver is destined to bear all the costs.
