When he was in the real world, Luo Zhen had seen photos of Akihiko Kayaba in the news, magazines and various websites, and knew what Akihiko Kayaba looked like.

Akihiko Kayaba is an ordinary-looking, short-haired, middle-sized man who often likes to wear shirts, trousers, ties, and white coats, dressed as a scientific researcher.

This appearance is completely different from the man named Heatscliff in front of him.

It's just that for Akihiko Kayaba, who is equivalent to the god of this game, it is not difficult to change his appearance at all.

Like all players, isn't it possible to change their appearance at the beginning, isn't it the same as reality?

In order not to reveal his identity, Kayaba Jinghiko transformed his virtual body into a completely different person, which couldn't be simpler.

Therefore, even if what appeared in front of him was a completely different face from Luo Zhen's impression, Luo Zhen still had to admit it.

Heathcliff is Akihiko Kayaba.

That's just the way it is.

“————！”

There seemed to be someone in the group of players in front of him who was yelling at something.

However, their roars are muffled by the howls of bone hunters, making it impossible to make out what they are about.

Rogen and Heathcliff stood side by side looking at the chaotic battlefield in front of them, one looking calm and methodically commanding, and the other looking indifferent, like looking at a guinea pig struggling in a cage of his own making, looking so lofty and full of pity.

To be honest, Luo Zhen hated such expressions very much.

Because, this can always remind Luo Zhen of the unpleasant memories of the past.

If it weren't for the current situation, this alone would have been enough for Rogen to turn against Heathcliff.

Even if Luo Zhen is very smart, he knows that a truly mature person will not be so impulsive, but I'm sorry, no matter how smart a person is, he has his own temper.

Unfortunately, Luo Zhen is a very temperamental person.

If it weren't for the time of the Raiders, even if it would have turned into an orange name, Luo Zhen would have drawn his sword against Heathcliff.

But now, Luo Zhen can only endure the emotions that are about to explode and continue to calmly command the players.

Otherwise, the front line will surely collapse, and Kirito, Klein, Achill, and the rest of the players could die at the hands of the bone hunters at any time, and even Asuna will be in danger.

Even if it was for them, Luo Zhen had to restrain himself.

It's just that......

"I have a question."

Heathcliff made such an inquiry as if he were not aware of Rozhen's emotions.

"You've found out who I am, why haven't you exposed me?"

This seems to be a question that Heatscliffe has been pondering lately.

After all, a full two weeks had passed since what had happened at that time, and if Luo Zhen wanted to expose Heathcliff's identity, there was a chance.

And with Luo Zhen's identity as the leader of the Raiders group and his reputation in SAO, as long as he stands up to identify Heathcliff, then Heathcliff will definitely be pushed to the forefront.

But Luo Zhen didn't do that.

"Thanks to this, I have been thinking about your intentions alone for the past two weeks, and although I have come to several conclusions, none of them have survived, and I have overturned them myself."

Heathcliff said this casually, and told Rogen what was the reason why his whereabouts had been a mystery for the past two weeks.

"Why don't you expose me?"

Heathcliff looked at Rojgen, and there was no curiosity or interest in his eyes, but only a simple desire for knowledge and the pursuit of answers to his questions.

This is very much in line with what a scientist is.

Unfortunately, this is also something that Luo Zhen hates.

Isn't it the same as those magicians who don't care about the intellectual curiosity of others and only pursue the result?

So, during his command, Rozhen gave Heathcliff a lukewarm answer.

"That's just a suspicion, not a confirmation."

Truly.

Prior to this, Luo Zhen had only doubted the identity of Heathcliff, and had not yet clearly confirmed that he was Akihiko Kayaba.

Otherwise, Luo Zhen would not have asked for a vacation and wanted to think about the problem.

However, that was before.

Heathcliff knew it......

"Three days ago, in the underground labyrinth of the Black Iron Palace, you found the management device located in the deepest part, right?"

Heathcliff spoke up about it.

This made Luo Zhen frown, but there was no surprise in his heart.

"Oh, you still found out."

Luo Zhen said such things without any nervousness.

In this regard, Heathcliff just smiled faintly and pierced the secret in Luo's heart.

"Anyway, I can still know about you using the management device to enter the management system and look up the list of administrators."

Yes.

The day after Yui regained his memory, Luo Zhen returned to the underground labyrinth of the Black Iron Palace again, and after a lot of hard work, avoiding the pursuit of the Scythe of Fate, he finally returned to that room and used the management device left there to find the list of game administrators.

Although, if you want to use the management device, you have to log in to the administrator account, but Yui has administrator privileges so that she can complete her duties through the system when necessary.

So, in Luo Zhen, he asked Yui to provide him with the administrator account to log in to the management device.

This is a rather dangerous thing to do.

According to Yui, the system has a self-check function, and if you use the administrator authority to do something that is not allowed, it is likely to be deleted from the account, which is equivalent to direct death when SAO turns into a death game.

But what Luo Zhen did was not a violation of the law, he just looked up what are the administrator accounts that exist in SAO now.

Then, Luo Zhen saw an ID with administrator privileges at the top of the list very smoothly.

The ID is ———— "Heathcliff".

It was Heathcliff.

At this point, Luo Zhen confirmed the identity of Heathcliff.

Heathcliff, as the person with the highest administrator privileges in this world, naturally would not fail to find this.

The biggest reason why I will choose to expose my identity at this time is this.

Heathcliff was really wondering.

"Having confirmed my identity, why don't you expose me?"

Heathcliff made the inquiry again.

Of course, Heathcliff didn't know, and Rozhen also had his own considerations.

For example, Luo Zhen still has a purpose in this world, which is to collect powerful demons.

With this purpose, rashly revealing the identity of Heathcliff may cause unnecessary trouble.

Who made Heathcliff invincible in this world?

If he really used the administrator privileges to do something amazing because his identity was revealed, it would only be Luo Zhen who suffered.

Therefore......

"I'd like to fight the 100th floor boss and kill it myself."

Luo Zhen didn't know whether it was true or not, and said such a sentence with a smile.

Thereupon......

"Is that so?"

Heathcliff smiled.

Instead of the indifferent and calm laughter before, it was like hearing an unexpected and interesting answer, a refreshing smile.

And then......

"In that case, I'll grant your wish."

The smile on Heathcliff's face began to grow palpitating, and he spoke.

"According to the plan, I am the boss of the 100th floor."
