In a relatively upscale café, there was a man sitting quietly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The glasses he wore made him look warm, but what appeared from those pupils was a cold light.

Today's matter, Seijiro Kikuoka didn't want to find that person, because that person's existence is too dangerous, but now this person is the only one who can help him.

Finally, a figure pushed open the door of the café and walked in, it was a silver-haired boy in black.

"Yo ~ Mr. Shirai. ”

"Shut up, Seijiro Kikuoka. If it weren't for the rare ingredients you hit, I wouldn't have agreed to this meeting. ”

In order to be able to invite Shirai Yue, Seijiro Kikuoka tried his best, and finally the hall came out and it seemed that the other party cared about the ingredients very much, and here he took out the S-grade ingredients [Chowder Rabbit] that he was lucky to get some time ago as a reward.

Forced by a bunch of girls in the family who wanted to try it, Shirai Yue had to agree to talk to Seijiro Kikuoka.

"So, what's the matter with me? I should have said, don't look for me about artificial intelligence. ”

"No... Of course it's not about artificial intelligence, actually, I have a question for Mr. Shirai. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Is what people are doing in the network physically impacting reality?"

Hearing this, Bai Jingyue's eyebrows furrowed, probably guessing what happened, but he didn't expect that in the great encirclement and suppression, that [red-eyed Sasha] still survived, but it didn't matter, this time, he couldn't run away, whether it was virtual or real.

"What's going on? ”

Seeing that Shirai Moon seemed to be interested, Seijiro Kikuoka handed his tablet to Shirai Yue: "Last month, it was probably November 14th. Inside an apartment in Nakano-ku, Tokyo, the landlord who was cleaning smelled a foul smell. So he opened the electronic lock and found the man. Shigemura Bao, 26 years old, is dead. Dead for five and a half days, the room was in disarray, but there was no sign of invasion, the body was lying on the bed, and then the head, wearing an amusphere. ”

"And then? What does it have to do with me when this person dies? You know, in SAO, I don't even bother to count the people I killed, what does it matter to me whether a person dies or lives?"

Seijiro Kikuoka tried his best to ignore what Shirai Moon said, and became accustomed to the act of killing, and if he hadn't had no way to do it, he wouldn't have come to ask this person for help.

"Mr. Shirai, although you may not care about the life or death of a person, the nature of this matter is very serious. We investigated the cause of death of the deceased, which was heart failure. However, the exact cause of death has not been investigated. ”

"And in the AMUSPHERE that this man uses, we find a game called GUN, Gale, Online, in which he won the strongest decision event held in October in this game called GGO, and the character name is Zexit. ”

Then, while attending a show called "MMO Stream", I suddenly dropped the connection. It is estimated that he suddenly fell ill and died at that time. ”

"The next thing is the unconfirmed information.,Just when he had a seizure,Something strange happened in ggo.,A user wrote in a blog.,It seems that when the incident happened in a bar.,There happened to be a player who made a strange move.,Suddenly shouted at Zexitt on the TV to accept sanctions, etc.,And shot him.。 ”

"Crucially, a recording of a player can be used to find out that the player fired at the TV at about the same time as Zexit's sudden disappearance from the show. ”

"Then on November 28, somewhere in Saitama Prefecture, the body was found again, in the same condition as the previous one. ”

Shirai Moon was a little impatient, and it was really boring to listen to Seijiro Kikuoka talk about the information he already knew.

"Don't talk about these nonsense, just say it, find me something, if you don't say it again, I'll leave. ”

"Well, I'd like to ask Mr. Shirai, or your Mr. Hacker, if you can have an effect on the physical body of a player in the real world from a virtual game, and if so, help us find out the truth about it. ”

"First of all, I can answer you about whether it can affect the body of a real player, but if it weren't for the helmet used by the original Sao, there would be no such possibility at all. And secondly—"

Bai Jingyue stood up and prepared to leave: "--You have such a request, an S-grade ingredient is not enough to pay." ”

"Wait, Mr. Shirai, if you want, we can... We can protect Yuuki Asuka-san's parents. ”

This is not a threat, and Seijiro Kikuoka does not dare to threaten, and in the face of people who can control Japanese military facilities at any time, he will definitely not dare to use threats as a means, this is a real deal.

As the center of attention of all countries now, not only Asuna personally, but even her relatives are monitored by various countries.

The relationship between Shirai Moon and Asuna is obviously a little unclear, but those people avoided Shirai Yue and the others when they were watching, although I don't know why, but Shirai Yue must have some kind of relationship with that girl.

Although I don't know why Shirai Moon didn't protect Asuna and let this surveillance continue, it's hard to guarantee that some forces won't be able to hold back themselves from doing something bad. Maybe they won't do anything to Asuna, but Asuna's relatives don't.

This condition impressed Shirai Yue, and he has been ignoring the surveillance of Asuna by those countries, a large part of the reason is because in the end, Asuna will definitely leave this world with them, and all conspiracies and tricks will be in vain at that time, but Asuna's relatives will have no choice.

Part of the reason why Shirai Moon still hasn't urged Asuna after a few months is that he's been thinking about how to keep Asuna's parents from being angry with those countries after they leave.

The protection of the Japanese government is considered to be one direction. After all, the situation is so tense now, or because of the meaning represented by Asuna's body, once Asuna disappears, the world with development as the main process will return to the previous peaceful world, no matter what, without enough benefits, the third world war will not start.

Then, handing over Asuna's relatives to the Japanese government for protection is a good way out.

As for why the Japanese government did this, I guess I'm still afraid, a murder case is not worth such a reward, it is estimated that it is because the most important defense system of the entire country has been completely invaded, so it is good to Shirai Yue and others.

"Where's Kirito, aren't you pretty close to Kirito?"

"Kirito... is currently cooperating with us in some experiments・・・・・・"

"I see, I don't agree, so are you looking for Kirito, indeed, Kirito also has that ability. ”

Shirai Yue told the truth in one sentence.

"So ・・・・・・ this matter?"

"This deal, I agreed. ”

Shirai specially accentuated the pronunciation of the word transaction, saying that she understood the meaning behind the remuneration given by the Japanese government.

Then, Shirai Yue left the café.

And after Shirai Tsuki left, Seijiro Kikuoka slumped in his chair.

"He's a tough guy. ”
