""

At this moment, all ten thousand players in the entire square fell silent, staring blankly at the red cloak floating in the sky, without any response for a long time.

"Forever...stay here..."

I don’t know who murmured this, causing players to express their confused expressions one after another.

I guess, no one present can understand what Kayaba Akihiko said yet, right?

No.

It should be said that even if you can understand it, your brain is rejecting such a reality.

Therefore, the entire square became extremely quiet, and even the breathing sound stopped, presenting an indescribable dead silence.

In this case, there is only one person who can react in time.

That's Luo Zhen.

“…………”

At this time, Luo Zhen remained silent and stared at the red cloak in the air quietly.

Although Kayaba Akihiko only said few words, Luo Zhen could already understand the meaning.

Of course, Luo Zhen was not very willing to believe it.

I believe the facts that will be revealed next.

However, reason told Luo Zhen that his premonition and guesses would definitely come true.

There is no reason.

From this man who called himself Akihiko Kayaba, Luo Zhen felt a very familiar feeling.

That's...

"magician…"

Researchers who can achieve (roots) can do nothing to avoid all means and even ethics can violate.

From Kayaba Akihiko, Luo Zhen felt this familiar atmosphere.

Therefore, Luo Zhen knew that something would definitely happen next.

That is cruelty and despair.

Sure enough...

"I know, you definitely can't understand what I'm saying now, but it doesn't matter. You just need to realize one thing, that is, for you, this world is no longer just a game, but another real world."

Kayaba Akihiko made a ruthless verdict.

"There are three things you need to pay attention to."

"One: From now on, the game will cancel all resurrection functions, so when your hp becomes zero, your characters will be eliminated forever and will not appear again."

"Two: When your game characters die, the (nervgear) worn on each of your heads will release microwaves at the moment of your death and burn your brain."

"Three: Please don't be lucky. This game has begun. No one can stop. Once an outsider wants to forcefully stop or remove the nervgear you are wearing, the signal component will also emit microwaves to destroy your brain. Even once the external power supply is cut off for more than ten minutes, the network is disconnected for more than two hours, or if you try to destroy the nervgear's body, the brain damage program will be executed."

"These conditions have been published in the outside world through the media."

"I believe that your body in the real world should be moved to a hospital or other facilities during a two-hour disconnection buffer time while wearing a nervgear, and be carefully cared for."

"The only condition that can free you from this game is "Arriving on the 100th floor of Iron Grandet and knocking down the final boss there."

"At that time, you can fully guide this death game, and all surviving players will log out safely."

"This is the rule of this world, I hope you can remember it well."

Kayaba Akihiko, who explained the so-called "rules" in one breath, continued to speak in a voice without any emotion when everyone had not had time to react.

"In order to make you realize that this is not a joke, I will give you a gift, just in your prop bar, please make it physical."

This sentence just fell from Kayaba Akihiko's mouth, and all the players below seemed to have their entire bodies been manipulated. They stretched out their hands together and stroked directly below, calling out the main menu in the effect sound of the electronic ringtone.

Luo Zhen did the same.

However, he was not induced by Kayaba Akihiko, but he clearly opened the prop bar with his will and saw the prop displayed at the top of the prop list.

The prop is named (holding a small mirror).

Luo Zhen was sure that this was a prop that he had never obtained before.

At this moment, Luo Zhen clicked it almost without hesitation and selected the "Practical" button from the emergent window.

"Zheng!"

Accompanied by the gathering of polygonal light, a small mirror appeared in Luo Zhen's hand.

Luo Zhen looked at the mirror.

At this moment...

"Zheng!"

A much brighter and dazzling light shrouded Luo Zhen and all the players present.

Luo Zhen subconsciously closed his eyes, and when he opened it again, Luo Zhen's eyes instantly condensed.

Because what appears in the mirror is not an intellectual face like a wise military advisor, but a familiar face that is as handsome as a mixed-race child, with a little childishness, and looks lazy and careless.

This is exactly what Luo Zhen looks like.

“That is,…”

Luo Zhen turned his head and looked around.

"This...what's going on!?"

"Are you a lie!"

"You...who are you!?"

"Who are you!"

One by one, the players started to cry out one after another.

I saw that the players who looked like handsome men and beautiful women who appeared in the fantasy adventure game not long ago disappeared, replaced by extremely ordinary faces, even their average height was much lower than before, and their average figure also dropped suddenly, which reduced the appearance level of the entire game by unknown amount, and also made the atmosphere of the game disappear completely, leaving only reality.

Obviously...

"Have all returned to their reality?"

Luo Zhen murmured like this.

Kayaba Akihiko made an inorganic sound as if she was laughing.

"In this way, you can believe that this is not a "game" but a "reality" right?"

After saying that, Kayaba Akihiko left his cold words.

"Then, the virtual reality large-scale online role-playing game (sword art online) will be officially launched."

"The game instructions end here."

"Dear players, I wish you can guide this Ain Grandet as soon as possible."

Leave a sentence like this, the huge bright red cloak gradually disappeared, causing the patterns in the sky to disappear and return to their original appearance.

And above the square, the dead silence is still permeating.

until…

"Let me out! Let me out!"

When the first player makes such a bitter cry, like a chain reaction, all players burst out.

"Let me out!"

"Release me from here!"

"I don't believe...! I don't believe that there is such a ridiculous thing...!"

"This is just a game!"

"It's just a game!"

"Let us out!"

"don't want!"

The tsunami-like noise shocked the air in the entire square.

At this moment, all the players were trapped in unprecedented panic, making the sound of mourning, roaring, screaming, scolding, roaring, begging and crying mixed together, and the silence could no longer be restored.

Under this situation, Luo Zhen silently walked out of the crowd and came to an alley.

"Bang!"

The small mirror was pinched into pieces, and its durability plummeted, instantly turning into polygons and breaking open.

The light of the fragments illuminated Luo Zhen's face.

Lighted up that face full of disgust and anger.

Although I don’t know what happened, Luo Zhen can still guess it.

"For my own research, can you imprison ten thousand ordinary people in the game world as experimental products?"

The flames that had not been before burned in Luo Zhen's eyes.

"Then I'll show you the guide."

"Through the top of this world, find your presence in front of you, and make you regret treating me as an experimental subject."
