Standing in front of Le Yuan was Luo Rou, one of the trio of academy promotions, and her appearance in this game had not changed at all, except that the unique costume of the game novice made her look more youthful and energetic, and the image of the weak lady was a little more warrior.

"Hey, I can be regarded as finding you, this place is really too big, and we have no ability, so it took a lot of effort to find you. But you can't escape this time, little brother Xiao Yan, it shouldn't be Brother Le Yuan. Luo Rou grabbed Le Yuan's arm, as if to prevent Le Yuan from disappearing from her side in the blink of an eye.

"We? Who else have you found? Hearing Luo Rou's tone, Le Yuan didn't have time to refute and couldn't help asking.

"No-" Luo Rou pointed to the street not far away, Le Yuan saw Ke Xueyang who was waving through the crowd, Luo Rou showed a trace of worry on his face at this time: "And I also connected with the people in the army and exchanged information, this world is quite complicated, and the situation of all of us now is not very good, but I didn't expect Le Yuan's little brother to adapt so quickly in the game, look at your equipment should be worth a lot of money." As he spoke, he wanted to reach out and touch the equipment on Le Yuan's body.

"Tell me, I'd love to know what information you have." Le Yuan blocked her hand, looking at Luo Rou, who had already set up with the army so quickly, Le Yuan couldn't help but admire her ability to gather intelligence.

"You should have already tried, we have no ability at all, and both physical fitness and skills have returned to the state of ordinary people, and the system has no trace at all, as if we have been abandoned." Le Yuan listened and nodded, he had already tried all the methods that could be tried, and his body was "too normal".

"And by the way you look, you probably know that we're in a game called SwordArtOnline, but we don't know anything about the world. It seems that it is a world that is not known to us, and we don't know what to do next! Luo Rou's tone couldn't help but be a little frustrated.

"Actually, it's not bad.,Game.,Isn't it okay to get through it.,Since the mission threw us into this world.,There will definitely be a hint.。 Until then, we just have to enjoy it. At this time, Ke Xueyang came to the two of them.

He smiled at Le Yuan, and then said to Luo Rou and Le Yuan with a serious expression: "I just got new news from there, it seems that there is a little problem with this game, the player's logout button has disappeared, and we people are the same, it seems that something is about to happen." ”

"Is there such a serious problem?" Luo Rou frowned, then opened the main interface of the game, and then clicked to an option, and suddenly an application interface appeared in front of Le Yuan.

"Luo Rou applied to add you as a friend, do you accept it?" Looking at this interface, Le Yuan pressed his hand on the "Yes" option.

"Hey, Ke Xueyang, you can add him too. I think it's better to keep in touch, don't you think the atmosphere is wrong right now? Luo Rou looked at the sun that was about to fall into the horizon, and the afterglow of the sun reflected on the white clouds in the sky, revealing almost golden and orange clouds, but it made people feel a more serious sense of unease.

"It's really wrong, this game is the first online full stealth game to be launched." Seeing that the two didn't seem to react, Le Yuan changed his word and said, "Ugh." It's a virtual reality game, and it seems that the company that publishes it has always been known for its focus on player benefits. But the fact that such a major problem as the disappearing logout button has happened for so long and has not been resolved, and there is no system announcement, is not like such a company that is dedicated to players. ”

"Oh, that's a serious problem." Ke Xuechen touched his chin and said: "But it doesn't matter, as long as the promotion task starts quickly, I don't want to be told that the mission failed without even touching the task." ”

Suddenly. "Jingle-clang-" The bell-like sound came from the central square of the Town of Beginnings, and the sound startled everyone on the street with a bit of urgency.

"What's going on?"

"It doesn't seem to be the time to tell the hour on the hour?"

"Did something big happen?"

There was a constant cry of discussion in the streets, "Hey, you guys! Ke Xuechen suddenly pointed at Le Yuan and Luo Rou and said.

"You too!" Luo Rou also exclaimed. The three people were suddenly wrapped in a pillar of blue light, not only the three of Le Yuan, but it should be said that the people on the entire street suffered from the same problem.

"It's teleportation! We'll send a message in a moment! As soon as Le Yuan finished saying this, the light around him became more intense, making it impossible for him to see anything.

When the blue light gradually faded, Le Yuan immediately looked around and found that he was back here again—the central square of the Beginning Town, the starting point of the medieval-style game, and the huge palace that glowed black could be seen not far in front of him.

"Le Yuan!" Ke Xuechen's voice appeared behind Le Yuan, and as soon as Le Yuan turned around, he found that Luo Rou and Ke Xuechen were beside him, and it seemed that everyone was teleported nearby when teleporting.

"Did you see that? These guys are probably all players. Luo Rou pointed to a large group of men and women with clear eyebrows around them, they were wearing all kinds of equipment, although the number of people in the square was not counted, but it was roughly estimated that it should be close to 10,000 people.

"What's going on? Could it be some kind of activity? "It all happened so suddenly, and some players couldn't help but ask.

But no one could explain all this, and soon the noisy discussion in the square gradually turned into a loud question, "What the hell is going on?" "What happened to the logout button?" "GM, hurry up and solve the problem!"

"Ahh

"Is that how game companies do gimmicks?" Looking at this great change, Ke Xueyang was a little confused, and it was undoubtedly a game company's trick to make a system warning.

"Gimmick? This is not a gimmick, let's watch quietly, I don't think the system will be so silent, this is probably the interlude before the mission starts. Luo Rou said.

The players in the square almost calmed down when they saw the system warning, but the next scene shattered their illusions again.

A viscous and unusually huge drop of blood suddenly squeezed in from the very center of the blood-colored sky, and then slowly dripped downward, and in the process of its fall, it began to deform, and quickly turned into a strange man about 20 meters tall wearing a blood-red cloak, his head was covered by the cloak, and only a black hollow could be seen under the huge hat, as if it was a ghost in a cloak.

At this time, the right arm under the cloak suddenly moved, and a white-gloved hand stretched out from the sleeve, but the gloves and wrist were empty, which further confirmed that the "giant" in front of him seemed to be just an empty shell.

The robe on the "giant's" face was windless, and with his waving hand, it seemed to say something, when a deep and transparent man's voice came from above everyone.

If the first sentence of "Welcome to My World...... can be regarded as the opening sentence of the game company's speech, then the second sentence that follows further dispelled the joy in the hearts of players.

"My name is Akihiko Kayaba. is the only one who can control the world now. This man confided his real name, which may not be a big deal for outsiders like Le Yuan, but it is all too familiar to local players, this is the developer and producer who created this game world, and is also the basic designer of virtual stealth technology.

The sudden appearance of the game developer made the players even more confused, and the voice of Akihiko Kayaba coming from under the wide cloak was more like a mockery of the players' ignorance: "I think all of you have noticed that the logout button disappears from the main menu screen. But that's not what's wrong with the game. I repeat it again. It's not that there's a problem with the game, it's the original version of the game. ”

Immediately afterwards, Akihiko Kayaba explained the basic situation of the current game, and the key point was summarized in one sentence: the game is reality. All human beings have only one life, just like reality, and if they die here, they will die in reality.

In order to further illustrate the authenticity of this matter, Kayaba Akihiko even transmitted the information of the deceased to the crowd - 213 players permanently quit in less than half a day.

If this is just to frighten players, then the liberation conditions announced by Akihiko Kayaba will make local players despair, breaking through the 100th floor, and completely breaking through the game that took players with infinite resurrections during the closed beta period to break through the 6th floor.

On the spot, countless players fell to their knees, unable to accept the cruel reality in front of them, but Kayaba Jinghiko didn't care about this, and continued to explain on his own, and then made all the handsome men and beautiful women return to their original colors like a bad taste, and many of them were held by men and became "public face" otaku, making them almost chop off their hands in disgust.

“…… That's it for the description of the game that SwordArtOnline officially operates. Fellow players – good luck. With a hint of echo, Akihiko Aoba dropped such a sentence and disappeared, and then the giant in the sky disappeared like a bubble, and the originally isolated square was liberated again, and the cheerful BGM music of the town streets was heard around again.

"What are you going to do next?" Ignoring the cries and noises of the local players around him, Le Yuan asked Luo Rou and the others.

"Ding-" Suddenly, the long-lost system prompt echoed in the minds of the three of them, and the three of them glanced at each other, and at the same time called out the personal attribute interface, and looked at the mission this time. (To be continued.) )
